In the end, it was Ning Weimin's proactive questioning of Zhang Shihui that woke him up from his one-sided assumptions.
"Ah, oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten to talk about the important things. I was temporarily arranged to stay in the reception room of those old masters. This old man actually brought his wife here today. His face is also stained.
, with the adhesive plaster on them, it looks like they are probably a couple.
I got into trouble and let my wife catch me. But this guy seems to have prepared a big gift for you. It seems that he wants to ask you something important. Lao Sha also emphasized to me that he made an appointment with you, and he seemed a little anxious. You see
Look, when do you plan to meet?"
Ning Weimin rubbed his brows and said calmly, "No, I'm not going to see him for the time being. Let him wait. I can probably guess the reason why he came. It's just for Mr. Song and Mr. Zou's intention to reform the company.
, it’s about eliminating the company’s shortcomings. Lao Sha is now considered a worm in the company. He has lived comfortably for too long and is suddenly unable to adapt to ecological changes. This is probably because he hopes to get me to help him.”
"Moth?"
Zhang Shihui thought for a while and said, somewhat deliberately to please, "Then... if you don't want to see him and feel embarrassed, how about... I will help you get rid of him..."
Zhang Shihui thought he was worried about others, but Ning Weimin shook his head.
"Hey, that's not what I meant. Lao Sha also has the advantages of Lao Sha. He has a wide network of people, he has friends everywhere, and his brain is flexible. There is no loophole that he can't exploit, and there is no place that he can't exploit. People say
As the saying goes, he can take advantage of anything. Such a "little smart boy" is also a talent. With a friend like him, many things will be very convenient. To be honest, I just started at Pierre Cardin Company.
At that time, he made a lot of contributions to the company. But it was
Unfortunately, now that the company has developed to a certain scale, the internal requirements have changed, and he still sticks to the original routine, which has become an obstacle to the company. The biggest problem with Lao Sha is that he is too shrewd and is too smart.
Mao has become a habit
He is used to it. The company now has a bigger plate. If he is allowed to continue doing this, the cost hole will get bigger and bigger. Whoever is the head of the company cannot just sit back and ignore this situation. But he still can't see through it.
No, this is called stubbornness..."
Listening to Ning Weimin's comments that seemed to be encouraging him, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but lower his head and think.
But something made him more curious. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Then... do you want to help him?"
"Let's see first and then talk about it." Ning Weimin smiled lightly, "How can it be so easy to ask for help? If you get it too easily, you won't cherish it. And Lao Sha's piece of shit is the most philistine. I have to see if he has any
Sincerity, look at him
I don't know whether my situation is worthy of my helping him. Besides, I have to think carefully about how to help him. Besides, you know, I do have more important guests to receive. Cultural Relics Bureau
I will see the person right away,
As for the deputy director of Tiantan, I don’t want people to wait for me for too long. As expected, the old director resigned this year. It is only natural that the old director would like this deputy to take over. He can take the initiative to show his goodwill today.
,I can't neglect
People. So I will see people from the Cultural Relics Bureau in a while. Please help me quickly invite the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven Park. Don’t let people misunderstand me. As for Lao Sha, please give me a message.
Just let him wait patiently..."
"Hey, okay. Then I'll help you clean up, and I'll go to the front to make arrangements."
As Zhang Shihui spoke, he poured hot water into Ning Weimin's tea cup, emptied the ashtray in the room, and wiped the coffee table that had water droplets on it.
He was quite discerning and knew that what Ning Weimin wanted to discuss in this room were important matters that could not be told outside. There was no waiter to serve him here, so he took the initiative to lend a hand.
As expected, this kind of proactive and low-profile behavior to please Ning Weimin made Ning Weimin feel quite comfortable.
Although I didn't say thank you, I obviously got closer to him and seemed to want to chat with him a little more.
"Shi Hui, if Lao Sha's matter is brought against you, what will you do?"
"I'm definitely not happy either. From a personal point of view, it's hard for anyone to accept this kind of thing. Regardless of whether I did something wrong or not, I actually understand Lao Sha emotionally. But fortunately I'm not him , I haven’t done that many things to enrich myself. At most, I just eat and drink in Tan Palace and use our tobacco shop to earn some money to purchase goods. You all know this, not to mention, I have you to help me. , this kind of thing will not happen to me."
Zhang Shihui smiled, his words were really not a pure compliment.
After all, Ning Weimin had arranged for Du Yang to go to Chengde for him. He had always kept this unremitting support and trust in his heart.
Moreover, Ning Weimin has become a shareholder of Pierre Cardon, and he is not unaware of it.
Since he has such a thigh to hug, what else does he have to worry about?
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin said, "Me? What if I let you leave your position in the altar palace?"
"this……"
Zhang Shihui was stunned by the sudden words.
He didn't know whether Ning Weimin was joking or serious. His eyes kept wandering for a long time, and he became more and more convinced that Ning Weimin's opinion of Manager Sha just now was not just a casual comment.
"Then what should we do? What do you mean?"
Zhang Shihui sighed dejectedly and acted like a bachelor.
"Anyway, you gave me this position. You'd rather take it away. It's just a matter of words. I will definitely obey unconditionally."
However, after a few words of arrogance, the sales started to turn miserable again.
"But...but why? Weimin, are you trying to scare me? I'm not worried about anything. I really don't dare to do anything wrong. Who is jealous and stabbed me? Or do you think I'm not okay? Do you think Tan Palace is good for you? You can't just believe anything! You...why are you laughing? Do you really have the heart to see my brother become a laughing stock in the eyes of others? Let me make it clear, I'm not afraid of losing my job. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. You jerked me off for no reason, and I can't explain it to my wife. You, you..."
"What are you? I was just asking, I didn't say I really wanted to jerk you off."
When Ning Weimin saw his reaction, he quickly explained.
But what follows is actually a kind of warning, obviously giving Zhang Shihui a vaccination in advance.
"Of course, I won't lie to you. You can't say for sure what will happen in the future. As the old saying goes, if morality is not matched, there will be disaster. This is true for Lao Sha and it is true for us. If any company wants to develop, it must We need fresh blood and more capable talents, just like human metabolism. No one is irreplaceable. Sooner or later, we will become entities that hinder the development of the company and the palace. Have you ever thought about this issue? ?I have thought about it. So I am not afraid that you don’t like to hear it. I have to tell you the truth. When the day comes that we become an obstacle to the company, it will not only be you, but also me. For the good of the company and the good of Tan Palace, we must Relinquish the throne and make way for worthy people.”
"What? Corporate obstacles?"
Zhang Shihui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Are you kidding? I may have this day. How did you get to this point? You are a shareholder of Pierre Cardin. Not to mention that you have opened up the situation of Tan Palace overseas. , even the deputy director came to wish you New Year greetings, how could you..."
"You are right, but have you ever thought about it? Just because I am a shareholder, in order to get more dividends and for the company to develop better, I hope to make the best use of my talents. Otherwise, I Aren’t you at odds with yourself?”
Looking at Zhang Shihui's stunned face again, it seemed like it was the first time he had considered such a practical issue from this perspective, and he was a little scared.
Ning Weimin couldn't help but regain his serious look, patted his shoulder and comforted him again.
"We are just talking casually now, but don't take this issue too seriously. What's more, even if we leave, what will happen? For us, what we lose is just a job. Let me tell you , leaving also has its advantages. One day, we may not be unhappy, believe it or not..."
Don't say it, these words made Zhang Shihui feel at ease.
If nothing else, the most important point is that the "we" in Ning Weimin's words reveals the meaning of advancing together and retreating together.
Of course, Zhang Shihui knew clearly whether it was a job in Pierre Cardon and the position of manager of Tan Palace that would provide him with security, or a friend like Ning Weimin, who would be more beneficial to his future.
As long as Ning Weimin is still willing to take him with him, what does he have to worry about?
What's more, I have known Ning Weimin for such a long time. Even though Ning Weimin has gotten to this point, he has never acted like a friend, let alone an old friend like Zhang Shihui who has been with him all the way.
Even those old colleagues from the Chongwenmen Hotel also went to the Pierre Cardon Building to work as part of a job thanks to him.
Also, although Ning Weimin doesn't go back to Shan'er Hutong very much anymore.
But this time when I came back, I still invited my old neighbors to have a dinner at Tan Palace and gave them generous New Year gifts.
As the person in charge of Tan Gong Restaurant, Zhang Shihui saw all this clearly.
He absolutely trusted Ning Weimin's character.
So once he understood this, he immediately felt calm and no longer worried, "Okay. As long as you say this. Anyway, I, Lao Zhang, will believe you if you don't believe others. I don't like to think about things that are too complicated. Anyway, I don't like to think about things that are too complicated. Whatever you say, we will do whatever you want. Whether you want to stay or leave, I will listen to you and have no objection."
Ning Weimin also felt very pleased and patted Zhang Shihui's shoulder with his hand just as he was about to say a few words.
At this time, Luo Guangliang also came back with three people in coats.
As soon as they entered the house, the leaders of those three days came straight towards Ning Weimin. Before they arrived, they stretched out their hands with a smile on their face.
"Mr. Ning, you are celebrating the New Year. I am the leader of the representative bureau and I am here to wish you a happy New Year. A small gift would not be a sign of respect."
Ning Weimin no longer cared about Zhang Shihui and stretched out his hand to respond.
"Hey, I don't dare take it seriously. Director Liu, just think that it's me wishing you New Year's greetings. Why are you so polite?"
"Don't say that. The dozen or so things you sent back this time are very precious. After expert evaluation, almost all of them are precious cultural relics, and only two are ordinary cultural relics. So the leader of our bureau sent me to confront them.
Thank you for your gratitude. I know that you don’t care about false reputations and don’t like red tape. But we
It would be too embarrassing if I didn’t express my deep respect in person to a patriotic person like you who has made long-term free donations and has social responsibility and responsibility. In addition, our leaders have another request. I hope you can attend a relevant event after the year.
Seminar on cultural relics lost overseas, I wonder if you..."
As for Zhang Shihui, she was not dissatisfied at all because of being ignored. On the contrary, after hearing these words, she felt more at ease.
That's right, if he doesn't trust others, how can he not trust Ning Weimin.
Although Ning Weimin has been abroad for several years, the time they spend together is getting less and less every year.
And because of the differences in identity and experience, the way we get along with each other has also changed significantly.
The affiliation is becoming more and more clear, and they are no longer as close as brothers as in the past.
But Ning Weimin is a good friend, and this has never changed.
Apart from anything else, he can buy so many precious cultural relics and donate them for nothing. What kind of character does such a person have?
If not hundreds of thousands, maybe millions were donated, right? Maybe even millions.
Therefore, Zhang Shihui absolutely believed that Ning Weimin would never let him suffer.
Even if there comes a day when he really doesn't want to do it anymore, he will definitely have other plans.
Also, Ning Weimin is a very capable person. For a person like him, what will happen if he leaves Picardon?
No matter where you are, you are sure to thrive.
What you have to do is follow suit and follow closely behind.
As long as we don't fall behind, we will have a bright future.
………………
In the reception room, Manager Sha's wife Yao Lihua was very surprised by her surroundings.
Since Manager Sha spends a lot of time outside with colorful flags flying, he rarely takes her to attend social events and activities.
She was not able to accompany Manager Sha to attend Ning Weimin's wedding last time, so she had never experienced real wealth personally and seriously lacked a correct understanding.
It should be said that before coming here this time, her imagination of wealth mostly came from the images of rich people in Hong Kong movies.
I think Ning Weimin, who I have never met before, is probably like in the most popular movie in Hong Kong, using a gold lighter or even US dollars to light cigarettes.
After all, Manager Sha has a gold lighter that he learned from Mr. Ning.
After the results came, I was shocked just by looking at the waiter's clothes in front of the Yunyuan gate.
Following the second gate, I took a rough look at the layout of the dazzling pavilions and pavilions inside. I felt dazzled and didn't know where to appreciate it.
After entering the house, even though this room was just a place used by Yun Yuan to entertain ordinary guests, she was still stunned and didn't know where to admire it. It was like Grandma Liu's feeling when she entered the Grand View Garden.
This is no exaggeration at all. Although the living room is small, it can fully reflect the owner's aesthetics, financial resources, and even cultural style.
First of all, winter in Beijing is really cold.
However, the room was heated by a heater, but it was extremely warm, without any smoke or smoke from a coal stove.
Moreover, there were actually flowers in the room, except for a few pots of narcissus, which are relatively common in Beijing.
On the flower tables in several corners of the house, there are actually fragrant green leaves and colorful daphne.
So much so that entering this room feels so comfortable.
The warm air blows on your face and body, mixed with the fragrant fragrance of flowers, which penetrates your sleeves and refreshes your heart and mind.
Secondly, the whole house has a solemn style, with tiles all over the floor, bright windows, and exquisite furniture.
A dozen Taishi chairs are arranged in two groups in the room against two long walls, separated by the Eight Immortals table.
There is also a dedicated waiter in the house who is responsible for pouring tea and water for guests and cleaning up debris and garbage.
This kind of style is not something ordinary people can come into contact with.
Not only that, even the hospitality items are prepared extremely thoughtfully.
In addition to the four essential tea bowls, each Eight Immortals table also has five trays.
There are not only pastries, fruits, and candied melons, but also cigarettes and assorted snacks.
The cigarettes are domestic Peony and American Marlboro.
The so-called mixed snacks are snacks that are mixed with some dried fruits, tea and food.
In the past, when there were no Western-style candies, this stuff was the most popular New Year food among children and women.
In the new year, it is necessary to be joyful, and the color of Zabaner highlights this point.
The red ones are hawthorn cake and red dates, the green ones are green plums and melon sticks, the golden ones are open smiles and jujubes, and the pink ones are peach preserves and walnut dips.
In addition, there are black melon seeds, white melon seeds, large and small peanut kernels, dried peaches, dried pears, dried apricots, raisins, dried apples, golden soup, rice cake candy, peanut dip, peas, bent beans, broad beans, crabapple slices, black dates, and persimmons.
,Small jujube...
According to adults, "you are not allowed to choose" when eating this thing. You can touch it at will. It tastes fragrant, sweet and crispy, and there are also occasional surprises.
So think about what it's like to be in this room.
Even Yao Lihua and six or seven representatives from several handicraft factories who came to pay New Year greetings felt a little constrained sitting in their chairs.
Let alone casual conversation, it's impossible to grab the things on the table and enjoy them.
Most of them felt short of breath for a while, and even their breathing became rapid.
Only people like Manager Sha, who often visited foreign-related places and attended banquets and banquets, could take it lightly.
He picked up the tea and drank it as if there was no one else around, and started eating the mixed food.
