In the restaurant, looking at the proud old man, Zheng Ge sighed helplessly. It was his first time dealing with such an old man, and it seemed like a failure!
For the next time, they chatted while eating.
Most of the topics discussed were related to charity.
Obviously, this old man is very concerned about public welfare.
Mr. Guan highly praised Zheng Ge’s Hope Project and the Ant Forest.
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the dinner ends.
After drinking tea and chatting with the old man for a while, Aunt Qin came over and said, "Old man, it's time for you to rest."
The old man is getting older and has very strict control over his daily schedule, including his diet and other aspects.
"Okay, you young people, let's talk." The old man looked a little tired and sighed: "I'm a little useless."
With that said, he walked towards the bedroom with Sister Qin's support.
…
"Xiaoge, my grandpa is like this, don't be surprised."
Watching the old man walking away, Guan Rui whispered to Zheng Ge. She was afraid that Zheng Ge would "retaliate" for the old man's drinking, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Are you surprised?" Zheng Ge was stunned when he heard this.
"I just made you drink!"
Guan Rui chuckled and recalled: "In my memory, this is the first time in the past 20 years that my grandfather has persuaded people to drink like this. I remember that 20 years ago, my grandfather had a comrade in arms. When they drank together, my grandfather was like this.
It’s a pity that after grandpa’s comrade passed away, grandpa rarely drank with others.”
"Yeah." Zheng Ge hummed.
At Mr. Guan's age and status, how could it be possible for a young man to be embarrassed just because he lost a game of chess?
People like this who have a country in their hearts and work hard for the country all their lives are not so stingy.
People become better with age.
If you deliberately lose on the chessboard to please the old man, you may make the old man dislike you.
In that case, the old man wouldn't make him drink.
But that situation is very bad.
To put it bluntly, if Mr. Guan drinks wine at him, does that count as recognition?
Zheng Ge shook his head and exhaled.
It seems that the big tree of the Guan family is completely close to it.
…
After walking for a while with Guan Rui, Zheng Ge stopped and said, "Sister Rui, it's getting late. Go back and rest early."
"That's okay." Guan Rui's eyes flashed with reluctance, nodded, and asked: "When will we leave tomorrow? I'll see you off."
"No need for this."
Zheng Ge smiled and waved his hands.
Guan Rui said: "When you came, I didn't pick you up at the airport. Now that you're leaving, I must send you off."
Hearing this, Zheng Ge said helplessly: "Okay, let's board the plane at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. We expect to arrive at Hongcheng around 10 o'clock in the morning. We can reach Donghu County by noon."
Zheng Ge felt a little sad.
Tomorrow is another bumpy day.
It takes at least two hours to drive from Hongcheng, the capital of Gan Province, to Donghu County. The key is that the road conditions are not good and the journey is bumpy.
It's painful to think about it.
"I heard that the scenery in Donghu County is very good. I'm a little sorry that there are too many things going on here in the capital, so I can't go with you." Guan Rui said regretfully.
Zheng Ge smiled and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."
Guan Rui nodded, and then asked teasingly: "Will Zhu Yushan go too?"
Zheng Ge was stunned and nodded slightly, "Yes!"
Guan Rui sighed silently and waved her hand, "Okay, let's go." With that, she got in the car and went back to her grandfather's yard.
She and Zheng Ge walked for a kilometer. It was so late and they must take a car back.
Watching Guan Rui's car drive away, Zheng Ge also got in the car and returned to the courtyard.
…
"Hey! Xiaomeng, I'm leaving for Donghu County tomorrow. Can you go here?"
Back in the courtyard, Zheng Ge dialed Xi Meng's phone.
Some time ago, he made an appointment with Xi Meng to go to Donghu County together.
Ximeng said: "Brother Zheng, I wanted to meet you in the capital in the afternoon and then go to Donghu County together. But I have something to do, so I will set off directly from Donghu County tomorrow. How about we meet at Hongcheng Airport? But
, I estimate that I can only stay there for two days at most."
"Okay!" Zheng Ge responded.
He knew that Simon was a workaholic, and it was already remarkable that he could spare two days.
The reason why I invited Xi Meng to go to Donghu County with me was to take her out to relax.
The relationship between him and Simon is very complicated. It is not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not only between entrepreneurs and investors, but also between friends.
That's why he wanted to take Xi Meng and go out for a walk to relax.
After chatting for a while and ending the call with Xi Meng, Zheng Ge hugged Zhu Yushan and went to the bedroom.
…
The next day, November 20th.
After breakfast in the morning, before seven o'clock, Zheng Ge met Guan Rui and headed to the airport.
"Sister Rui, it's true that it's such a long journey." Sitting in the car, Zheng Ge looked at Guan Rui helplessly.
Guan Rui rolled her eyes and joked: "Xiaoge, by the way, you keep rejecting my invitations, are you afraid that I will miss work?"
Zheng Ge: "..."
Is he so narrow-minded?
Guan Rui pursed her lips and smiled.
…
Near 8 a.m., Zheng Ge and the others arrived at the airport.
"Sister Rui, we are about to board the plane. You should go back early." At the airport, Zheng Ge said goodbye to Guan Rui.
"Okay, be careful along the way." Guan Rui nodded.
Zheng Ge hummed and took Huang Liya and others into the airport.
Not long after, Guan Rui saw the special plane with the Changge Group logo flying into the sky.
"call!"
Guan Rui breathed out, turned and left the airport.
…
More than two hours later, the special plane arrived in Hongcheng.
The person who picked me up at the airport was the Hongcheng office of the group.
Nowadays, Changge Group has offices all over the country. The shadow of Changge Group can be seen in major provincial capital cities across the country, and even some prefecture-level cities.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xi is already here and is resting in the rest area nearby."
The person in charge of the Hongcheng office said respectfully to Zheng Ge.
"Oh! Let's go and meet Mr. Xi. Also, make arrangements to set off for Donghu County." Zheng Ge was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Xi Meng to arrive before him.
"Okay Mr. Zheng."
The person in charge responded and went to make arrangements.
"Brother Zheng."
At this time, Simone's soft voice came over.
"Little Meng! Let's go, time is a bit tight, let's talk in the car."
Zheng Ge looked at Xi Meng.
Ximeng was dressed very casually today, less of the usual strong woman temperament and more of a feminine look.
Obviously, she did regard the trip to Donghu County as a tourist trip.
Zheng Ge was quite satisfied with this.
Xi Meng hummed, nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Dozens of people walked out of the airport, attracting a lot of attention.
The main reason is that the team of dozens of people behind Zheng Ge, regardless of gender, are all wearing black suits, which really can't stand the attention.
Leave the airport, get in the car and drive straight to Donghu County.
