When I returned to my new residence, I made the bed first, then took out my phone and ordered a takeaway.
While waiting for the takeout, I turned on the computer again and started to break down some of the next work, including summarizing the content of the weekly meeting.
This feeling suddenly took me back to the time when I just graduated from college, when I completed the first set of software in my life in a single room that cost 500 yuan, accompanied by mice and cockroaches.
I didn't have any worries at that time, I just wanted to make money.
Now it's the same for me. I can't stop. More than a hundred people in the company eat with me. Once I stop, they will starve.
While I was eating takeout, Ma Dong suddenly called me.
After the call was connected, he asked me: "Mr. Chen, are you finished?"
"What's up?"
"Hey, why did you forget? We agreed that I would treat you to dinner tonight."
After hearing his reminder, I remembered. When I looked at the takeaway I had almost finished, I smiled and said to him, "I'm so sorry, I forgot again."
"You are really a noble person who forgets things. It's not too late to come now. We are waiting for you."
"I've already eaten it, forget it, next time, next time."
"That won't work. Even if you come and sit for a while, it will be a favor to Ma Dong. I have called many of my old friends, so you must come!"
I did promise him to go to the appointment tonight, but Jiang He and Ye Shanshan disrupted my rhythm, so I forgot about it.
After hesitating for a while, I finally asked him: "Where?"
"This way, you give me your address and I'll have someone pick you up, and you won't drive."
I told him my address and then went to wait at the gate of the community.
About twenty minutes later, I saw Ma Dong's BMW 5 Series parked in front of me.
Suddenly a woman got out of the car, wearing high heels, black stockings and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
With a smile on her face, she walked towards me and asked, "Are you Mr. Chen?"
I nodded, checked again to see if it was Ma Dong's car, and then asked her, "Who are you?"
She smiled at me and said, "I am Mr. Ma's secretary. She asked me to pick you up. Please get in the car, Mr. Chen."
With that said, she opened the car door for me.
I glanced at her and then got in the car.
She immediately got into the cab and started smoothly.
This Ma Dong is really good at playing. This secretary looks like the heroine in a romantic action movie. Her shirt feels like it is about to burst.
"Mr. Chen, are you cold? Do you want to turn on the heating?" After a while, she asked me.
"No need." I replied.
She smiled again and said, "I heard from Mr. Ma that you are young and handsome. Now I see it is true."
"Haha, don't listen to his nonsense."
"I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you just now, I believed it. Mr. Chen, you are so good, you should be married, right?"
"No."
"Can't? Mr. Chen, are you a non-marriage person?"
"What kind of anti-marriage person? If I'm not married, can I be called an anti-marriage person?"
"You are so young and handsome, and you are the boss of a big company. What a great condition."
I smiled faintly and didn't know how to answer her.
She kept looking for topics to talk about along the way, but I didn't talk to her much.
After more than twenty minutes, we arrived at a hotel, parked the car, and followed her to a private room in the hotel.
There were five or six people sitting in the box, including Ma Dong.
After I arrived, Ma Dong quickly stood up and walked towards me while greeting me warmly: "Mr. Chen, come on, the top position is reserved for you."
As he said that, he took me to seat C, the innermost seat of all the seats. This obviously gave me enough face!
I smiled and said, "No need, just sit wherever you want. Why bother with this?"
"Hey, if you want it, you still have to follow the rules." As he said that, he enthusiastically helped me pull out the chair in position C.
I was really embarrassed, but I still sat down in position C.
Secretary Ma Dong was also quite good at getting things done. He hurriedly came over to pour me some wine and then sat down next to Ma Dong.
Ma Dong was also sitting on my left. I looked around at the other people in the box. They all seemed to be about the same age as Ma Dong.
There was only one woman among them who looked younger, about the same as me. She wore exquisite makeup, was wearing new Versace products, and was wearing a Cartier bracelet on her wrist.
This woman looks quite rich, but she doesn't have that kind of temperament, like a nouveau riche.
I only glanced at her, but she asked me tentatively: "Mr. Chen, are you from Chongqing?"
I nodded, and her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Did you go to Yubei Middle School for high school?"
I was startled, and then I started to look at her seriously. She looked familiar, but I wasn't impressed.
"Who are you?" I finally asked her.
"I am Zhang Yan!"
I was stunned immediately. I still have some impression of this name. I remember that one of my classmates was named Zhang Yan, but it didn’t look like her!
I then asked: "Are you Zhang Yan? I remember that you have a mole under the corner of your mouth!"
"Yes, but I took it a few years ago."
Everyone else in the box looked confused. I didn't expect such a coincidence. This woman was really my high school classmate Zhang Yan.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I just heard Mr. Ma say that the name Chen Feng seemed familiar to me, but I didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that it was really you."
I also shook my head and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"
"Yes, then I want to have a drink with you first."
With that said, Zhang Yan picked up her wine glass and stood up. I also picked up my wine glass and stood up to touch it with her.
After sitting down, Ma Dong asked me: "Mr. Chen, is Zhang Yan really your classmate?"
I nodded, and Ma Dong started talking again: "What a coincidence. It's fate. For this fate, let's have a drink together."
Then everyone raised their glasses and clinked a glass together.
"Zhang Yan, why did you come to Chengdu?" I asked her. After finally meeting a classmate, I was naturally excited.
"I married here before. Chen Feng didn't expect you to be so promising now."
I waved my hand and said with a smile: "No, what are you doing now?"
Zhang Yan looked at Ma Dong, and then said: "I now run a small hardware factory. I have always cooperated with Director Ma. This is thanks to Director Ma for taking us small factories."
Ma Dong took the words and said: "Director Zhang, our factory was indeed not operating well a while ago, but it is better now. We have been acquired by Mr. Chen's company, and our development will definitely be very good in the future. So today I am asking you old
Inviting customers here is just for one purpose, and I hope all the bosses will take more care of me in the future."
This Ma Dong is really good at getting things done, and he convinced these old customers in just a few words.
Although modern enterprises rely on wisdom and ability, it has to be said that human nature and sophistication are the most important. This is the so-called world on the wine table.
Let’s not talk about what Ma Dong is like as a person. In terms of how he treats others, there is no one around me who can compare with him.
After two more drinks, Zhang Yan sat directly to my right. He changed seats with the person who was originally sitting on my right.
She started chatting with me passionately, talking about some stories from high school, which suddenly pulled me into memories.
The more we chatted, the more animated we became, and we even added each other on WeChat, saying that we would keep in touch frequently in the future.
It is true that we high school classmates have very little contact and have almost no contact since graduation. It is indeed fate that I can meet Zhang Yan here now.
Because I was quite happy to meet an old classmate here, I drank a little too much.
