"Hey~ Mr. Gao, what's your order?" Xiang Nan joked as soon as the call was connected.
"Okay, what are you busy with?"
"Hey~ Isn't it rare that we don't have a game today? I am going to the supermarket with my wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoyun's voice came:
"Eh? Where is the discounted ham you said just now? I didn't see it."
"Over there..."
Xiang Nan said:
"Why are you calling so late?"
"Did you know about Hua Zi's mother being hospitalized?" Gao Bin asked.
"Ah? I don't know what the situation is."
"Hua Zi is also very unlucky. There was a fire at home, the house burned down, his mother was hospitalized for burns, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Didn't I just come out of the hospital?"
"Hey, isn't this just bad luck? It's nothing."
"Isn't that right? You and Yang Xiaoyun should come to the hospital for a visit when you have time? Mi Lai has a saying, if friendship is not used now, when will it be used?"
"This is so unlucky, I don't even know what to say." Xiang Nan was shocked.
Yang Xiaoyun's voice came out again:
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Nan’s voice became softer, he must be covering the microphone.
"Hua Zi's mother is hospitalized. The fire burned her mother half to death. Let's go see him?"
"This is ham. I'm going to buy the bones. Goodbye."
After waiting for a while, Xiangnan spoke:
"Well...it's too late today, why don't we go another day?"
"Okay, you can make your own arrangements."
After hanging up the phone, Mi Lai asked:
"How was it decided?"
"She said she won't come tonight. From what Yang Xiaoyun said on the phone, she probably doesn't want to come."
Milai sneered:
"I knew they were having a hard time right now. Why don't you give them some money now?"
"You guessed it well enough."
"That's..."
Then he turned around and looked at Gao Bin:
"By the way, the person I gave Zhao Qing the money I just gave didn't ask for it at first, so I just stuffed it into her arms and ran away."
"I guess her brother-in-law has said hello. Lao Wu has been eyeing the cake from 'Manor de Provence' for a long time. I didn't agree to it and signed up with another supplier."
Milai frowned:
"What? The quality of their goods is not up to standard?"
"Hey~ They're all pretty much the same. It's just that Lao Wu is too shrewd. I don't feel confident about working with him. But I owe him such a favor this time and I have to make it up to him later."
Mi Lai's mind spins quickly:
"Our theater chain still needs to expand. I'm currently thinking about building a flagship store. It's not a big job, so it's just the right way to repay a favor."
Gao Bin laughed, hugged Mi Lai and took a sip:
"My wife is still smart."
Mi Lai wiped the saliva on his face in disgust:
"Who is your wife? Did you propose marriage?"
Gao Bin rolled his eyes:
"What? Are you jealous of Charlene?"
"Screw you, am I so naive?"
"As for, once you get involved with Charlene, your IQ will drop by at least one-third."
"If you say that again, I will bite you to death." Mi Lai threatened.
Gao Bin raised his eyebrows:
"Here? Isn't it appropriate?"
Mi Lai didn't understand at first, but when she saw Gao Bin's mean expression, she immediately blushed:
"Bah~ stinking gangster."
He was scolded, but no one could stop him when his emotions got up, so he added in a voice like a mosquito:
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
After receiving the order, Gao Bin stepped on the accelerator and drove home following the speed limit. What happened next cannot be said.
...
Gao Bin still underestimated the shamelessness of Boss Wu. The next day when he got to work, this guy rushed directly to the office. This was a rhythm that wanted Gao Bin to cash in his favor immediately.
"How's it going, Mr. Gao? Our sister-in-law did a good job, didn't she?"
Lao Wu asked, licking a face as big as Zhu Bajie.
Gao Bin couldn’t laugh or cry:
"The operation hasn't been done yet. Let me tell you, Lao Wu, we have to make it clear that she is your sister-in-law, not mine."
"Hey~ As long as it can make you happy, it doesn't matter who's sister-in-law."
Gao Bin raised his eyebrows:
"Hey, what do you mean by this? You are so mean-spirited..."
To be honest, Zhao Qing is not pretty, but he is quite intellectual, and with the blessing of being a doctor, he is still very attractive to some people with special quirks.
Unfortunately, Gao Bin is not among them.
"Hey, you know." Old Wu's wretched expression almost made Gao Bin vomit.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I owe you a favor for what happened yesterday, but I don't like to owe anyone anything, so I have to compensate you. It just so happens that I have a small job on hand, and you don't have a building on hand.
Team?"
Lao Wu is in high spirits:
"Yes, tell me what kind of work I am doing, I guarantee you will do it efficiently."
"I want to renovate a cinema and build a cinema chain flagship store according to the highest standards and use the best materials."
Old Wu lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasantly:
"Well, what's the budget?"
"I'll have someone contact you, and I'll guarantee that you'll have this amount of profit, at least." He compared it to 2.2 million.
Lao Wu was not satisfied with this number, but he knew that yesterday's favor could be exchanged for this project, and he could not ask for more.
"Okay, I'll take this job."
"Old Wu, take a long-term view. You should know about the establishment of commercial real estate in a broad perspective, right?"
Old Wu nodded repeatedly. Of course he knew that there was no airtight wall in this circle.
If it hadn't been for this matter, he wouldn't have rushed to curry favor with a young man.
"Xiao Gao, please give me an accurate answer. Do I have a chance in this project? Don't worry, I promise to arrange everything you need."
This is the rhythm of giving kickbacks. Gao Bin knows it well. It is an unspoken rule in the industry. He is not a noble mother, and he should not get less money.
But the crux of the matter is who the money comes from. If you have a good character, you can get the money with peace of mind, but Lao Wu...
"Old Wu, let me tell you the truth, the first commercial real estate project must be a benchmark, so every link must be improved. In accordance with the principle of fairness and justice, we will treat everyone equally."
The implication is that there is no room for guanxi in this project. Want to win? Prepare your own bid.
Lao Wu is determined to not give up. He finally got on the line with Gao Bin, how could he give up so easily?
"Mr. Gao, I know there are some things that are not convenient to discuss in the office. So, tonight I will be the host at Bianyifang. Let's have some drinks together and chat while drinking."
Before Gao Bin could refuse, Boss Wu had already stood up and walked out:
"That's it. We're waiting for you at 7:00 p.m. at Bianyifang."
Looking at Boss Wu's leaving figure, Gao Bin cursed in a low voice.
After thinking about it, I called Xiangnan.
"Hello?"
"Xiang Nan, there is a game at Zizianfang tonight. You can go with me."
"Okay, what game is it? Do I need to prepare anything?"
"Just bring hangover medicine with you, and be prepared to drink yourself to death today."
"Okay, why don't we just drink? Who is afraid of whom?"
