Chapter 686 How come you're on TV again(5100 words
To be honest, if Guo Guangchang of Qicheng Petrochemical did not have the skin of "General Manager of Sinopec Branch", then he would not be able to compare with these people.
But after putting on this layer of skin, these people have to give him face at some point.
That's why things are so strange. Many people in the world wear various masks, making it impossible for you to think about it according to common sense.
Wang Hongsheng was sitting here, and he personally felt the change in Lu Zongbing's attitude toward Xia Zekai. It didn't mean that it had changed just because of this sharing. It only meant that they recognized Xia Zekai from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Xinsheng went to make arrangements, and not long after, the waiters at the city government guest house began serving food and pouring wine.
As soon as it was served, before Xia Zekai had time to take a bite, Lu Zongbing said directly: "Brother Xia, we just agreed that we have to have a good drink today. Let Mayor Wang say a few words later, and we will
It’s unfolded, you can’t cheat today.”
Xia Zekai never expected that "Wang Hongsheng's Speech" would help him. Taking advantage of this free time, Xia Zekai was not polite. He first picked up some vegetables and ate them to satisfy his stomach, otherwise he would vomit blood later.
Seeing her husband like this, Luo Xiyun felt a little uncomfortable, but she also knew that reality was like this and nothing was easy to mess with.
After Wang Hongsheng started, the few people at the table started drinking immediately. Luo Xiyun asked the waiter to pour water from time to time.
She substituted fruit juice for wine, and drank two with Qi Jiahui.
If Qi Jiahui hadn't forced her to drink in the past, she wouldn't have so happily used wine to drink juice with Luo Xiyun, but today, she didn't say a word and just drank.
While drinking, Qi Jiahui also said: "Xiyun, let's get together more often when we are free in the future."
This was a disguised show of goodwill, and Luo Xiyun also heard it: "Mr. Qi, please contact me often in the future. If you need my help, I will definitely help you if I can."
She is also quite smart. She deliberately added the prefix "can help" and did not do everything for her, but this also showed her sincerity.
Qi Jiahui heard it, and there was a smile on her face that never disappeared.
After Lu Zongbing, Liu Derong, Sun Xu and Wang Hongsheng had a drink, Xia Zekai never stopped drinking.
Boss Xia was quite down-to-earth at the beginning, but he couldn't handle drinking alone or with four people. He drank a lot, but later he started to act sly, which made Lu Zongbing and the others think that he was very real, not hypocritical, and not artificial.
.
You came and went, eating and drinking until after 2:30 in the afternoon, and then we finally parted ways.
Liu Changhong and Wang Hongsheng left first.
The remaining people gathered around Lu Zongbing, Liu Derong, Sun Xu, Guo Guangchang, Xia Zekai and others and walked out.
When they arrived in the yard, Lu Zongbing and the others said to Xia Zekai, "Brother Xia, why are you and your siblings here?"
"I drove here. The car was left outside." Xia Zekai pointed at the door and said.
Liu Derong said "Oh" and said: "I was still thinking of giving Brother Xia a ride and chatting with him for a while longer. In this case, let's just forget about it today and make an appointment another day."
"Okay, brother Liu, I will definitely give you a call when I finish my work another day. Then I will be the host and invite you all to have a drink together." Xia Zekai said with his hand.
Sun Xu nodded: "There is still me. If you miss me then, I won't let you."
"Don't worry, Brother Sun, I will definitely not miss you." Xia Zekai repeatedly promised, "And don't forget what I just told you guys. Our company's annual meeting will be held next month.
Sometimes I have to ask all the brothers to come over and help the town."
He even told them to go to town for a slanderous talk, but these words touched the hearts of Lu Zongbing and the others.
"I will definitely never forget such a big event as Xia Laodi's company holding an annual party, not to mention that Xia Laodi will treat guests at that time, so I can save a meal." Lu Zongbing said this.
"Haha, you are so old Lu, but you are still like a bear. The older you get, the more stingy you get." Liu Derong said to him.
Lu Zongbing didn't take it seriously. He said: "Old Liu, let me tell you, making money is not easy. I can buy the family property now only by saving every penny. Of course, I can save whatever I can."
Already."
Xia Zekai listened to their conversation and laughed directly.
If it hadn't been for today's occasion, who would have thought that Lu Zongbing had been paying at least 200 million in taxes every year for several years.
Liu Derong’s Lanjun Medical is the largest private medical device company in Qicheng.
Anyone who can be called the boss in a certain field in one place will have a huge amount of revenue in a year.
On the other side, Guo Guangchang, Zhang Dongping, and Zhang Jingbo all carry the aura of "state-owned enterprises" or "state-owned enterprises," and they are not the same thing as Lu Zongbing. They usually can't talk to each other, and now it's even more useless.
On the other hand, Jia Chengfu of Fangyuan Chemical and Wang Xihai of United Co., Ltd. both intentionally chatted with Xia Zekai, left each other's contact information, and kept emphasizing that they would definitely be there when Xia Zekai's Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. held its annual meeting.
After coming out of the city hall guest house, several drivers drove their cars over.
Mercedes-Benz S600, Maybach, BMW 7 Series, etc., there are many kinds.
In comparison, Guo Guangchang, Zhang Dongping and Zhang Jingbo are relatively low-key. They all own the same Audi A6 and have full-time drivers. It can be seen that they prefer life within the system.
In addition, Xia Zekai did not expect that Wang Xihai's car was a Bentley just like him.
But Wang Xihai’s car is a Bentley Flying Spur, and its price is much lower than his Mulsanne.
When Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng saw everyone here walking away and saw Xia Zekai in front of the crowd, they drove the car over. Only then did others realize that it was parked next to Xia Zekai.
"Oh, I've been working on it for a long time. This new Bentley belongs to you, brother Xia." Wang Xihai likes Bentley. In his early years, he didn't dare to drive as much as Xia Zekai, but now he no longer cares about it.
He had long heard that there was a new Bentley in Qicheng. He knew the owners of the other cars, but he didn't know who this new Bentley Mulsanne belonged to. He didn't expect to find out today.
Moreover, Xia Zekai’s Bentley Mulsanne is relatively expensive.
The price of nearly 7 million after tax is really beyond the reach of ordinary business owners.
After seeing Xia Zekai's car, a few old guys commented, and then they got in the car and left.
For them, the car has truly become a means of transportation.
Even though they don't drive well, the children in the family are really smart. They drive Lamborghinis, Bugattis, and Ferraris, and they all bought the same ones.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun also got into the car and left under the watchful eyes of others.
It was getting late, and Luo Xiyun had to go back to the community to pick up his two daughters from school. Xia Zekai drank a lot, and he thought about going home, taking a shower, and then sleeping.
Today I have received honors, awards, and limelight. I have also been recognized by several local private enterprise bosses in Qicheng. I dare not say that I am a true brother and sister. If there is anything I need to help with in the future, I believe they will not
He immediately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.
Unconsciously, the car arrived at Ziyu Garden Community. Wang Yi drove directly into the underground parking lot. He remembered where Xia Zekai's parking space was after walking once. After parking the car, Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun took the car.
The elevator goes up to the 16th floor.
Luo Xiyun also wanted to ask Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to sit at home and drink a glass of water, but they both refused directly.
Then Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng divided the work. One of them went back to rest first, while the other waited here, ready for temporary arrangements.
…
After Xia Zekai and his wife returned home, Xia Zekai took a set of clean clothes and went to take a shower. Luo Xiyun thought about her husband's performance on the stage today, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart, thinking that his abilities were getting better and better.
The older she gets, the more she can no longer bear it.
Looking at the open bath heater in the bathroom and the mist rising, if it wasn't almost time to pick up Yatou and Tongtong from school, Luo Xiyun bit her lip and crossed her legs, she would have had the urge to rush in.
She muttered: "This bastard, he is deliberately showing off to seduce me."
Luo Xiyun cursed angrily in his heart, took the two girls' thick coats and went straight downstairs.
The cold wind blows, and the restless heart slowly calms down.
When Luo Xiyun walked to the entrance of the municipal government kindergarten, he arrived a little early, but there were already many people waiting here.
Today is the winter solstice and we are eating dumplings in the evening. Luo Xiyun was thinking about letting the "Outstanding Entrepreneur Awards" get delayed. She hadn't had time to make the dumplings yet, and she still hadn't figured out what fillings to make in the evening.
"It's so hard to cook!" Luo Xiyun couldn't help complaining, especially when she met someone whose whole family would shout "whatever" when eating, she couldn't start.
"Hey, Xiyun, why are you here so early?" Mrs. Li Liyun, the mother-in-law of the second brother next to her, called her.
Luo Xiyun turned around and saw her. Old Mrs. Li Liyun was chatting with several old ladies just now. In addition, Li Liyun was short among those people, so she really didn't notice when she came over.
"Auntie, I went out today and just came back. You came earlier than me." Luo Xiyun greeted her.
"Your sister-in-law is making dumplings at home. She thinks I'm in the way and can't keep up, so she won't let me help. It's almost time for me to think about it, so I'll go out and pick up Amy." Mrs. Li Liyun didn't feel embarrassed at all.
.
She also asked Luo Xiyun: "Xiyun, have you made dumplings? If not, go to our house to eat in the evening. Your sister-in-law made a lot of meat fillings and went to your house at noon and knocked on the door, but there was no one."
"Auntie, I have something to do today and I went out with Zekai." Luo Xiyun explained.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li Liyun rushed to say: "Then what you say is that you are not prepared. You and Zekai should stop working. We will go back together later. You and your sister-in-law can make dumplings. I can save the money."
Heartbroken."
"..." Luo Xiyun thought that he would be lucky now.
After she waited for Yatou and Tongtong to come out, she asked them: "Would you like to go to the second uncle's house for dinner tonight?"
"Okay, okay, I still want to play with sister Amy!" Tongtong called out.
The girl also nodded hurriedly: "I want to go too."
Luo Xiyun didn't say anything else, so she happily decided to have a meal, which would save her the trouble of going home to make noodles, mix stuffings, and make dumplings!
After picking up a few babies and returning to the community, the old lady went to the elementary school opposite to pick up her grandson Xia Jingrui.
Luo Xiyun took them back to his home first. When they entered, Xia Zekai had already finished taking a shower, changed into clean clothes, and was reading a book in the living room.
Seeing her coming back with her niece Amy, he even asked: "Second brother and the others are not here."
"I met my aunt. She said that my second sister-in-law was making dumplings at home and came over to ask us to have dinner at noon. We were still in the guest house at that time," Luo Xiyun said.
When Xia Zekai heard about making dumplings, he suddenly remembered that today is still the winter solstice.
He said: "We were all confused. We didn't prepare anything yet, so we went out to eat in the evening."
"Zekai, do you want to rest for a while?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai shook his head directly: "I'm not sleepy anymore. It's not like you don't know how much I drink. I just took a shower and sobered up. Now I'm fine."
Luo Xiyun was still puzzled and said: "You are quite strange. Although your drinking capacity was not small in the past, it was not so outrageous. Why have you become a drunkard now?"
Xia Zekai was very depressed when he heard this title. He said, "You are the drunkard."
…
Bickering between couples has become a normal part of life. It seems that if they don't argue, they can't have a sense of existence.
It was almost half past five when the second brother came to call them. Luo Xiyun took the girl and the three of them down first. Xia Zekai went to the wine cabinet and took two bottles of good wine, put them directly in the creaking nest and went down.
Xia Yunhui also said to him: "Zekai, you went to my place to eat, why did you get wine? It's not like I don't have any."
"Brother, I have too much wine here. If you don't help me drink some, I will have to drink until the year of the monkey. We brothers, don't be polite and leave quickly." Xia Zekai broke free from his second brother's hand and walked out.
, and closed the door by the way.
At the second brother's house on the 15th floor, when Xia Zekai entered the door, he saw that his wife had already gone over to help make dumplings.
Aunt Li Liyun was also wrapping the dumplings there. Although she couldn't keep up with the speed of his wife and second sister-in-law making dumplings, she still helped.
Dong Guochuan, the father of the second sister-in-law, is also the father-in-law of the second brother. He is a good cook. Except that the ingredients at home are not as good as those in the hotel, the dishes he cooks are really not much worse than the chefs in the hotel.
In this moment, he had prepared a table of delicious dishes.
Seeing Xia Zekai come in, he raised his lips and said hello with a smile: "Zekai, you are here. Come over quickly and sit down to try the food I cooked."
"Uncle, there must be nothing wrong with your cooking. I won't be busy another day. I have to come and learn from you, so that some people at home will not look down on me." Xia Zekai said this.
Luo Xiyun, who was making dumplings over there, also heard it. She turned around, waited for Xia Zekai, and said, "Zekai, are you in trouble again? You don't know what to say to get rich."
The second sister-in-law was amused on the spot.
"Haha!" Dong Guochuan's smile became even brighter and he said, "Sit down quickly and have a taste."
Xia Zekai put down the two bottles of wine in the creaking nest and said, "Uncle, please try the wine I brought over. They told me that it had been stored for a few years and I don't know what happened to it."
With that said, he took off the packaging box himself.
The wine in the transparent bottle has a light yellow color. To be precise, it should be called amber. It looks a bit crystal clear.
When Dong Guochuan saw this, he liked it very much and said: "Zekai, this wine of yours is really old. Oops, it would be a pity for us to just drink it."
"It's a pity that the wine is not just for drinking. Uncle, I will fill it up for you." Xia Zekai had already opened the bottle cap and started pouring the wine.
He said: "After I finish drinking, there will be more."
Xia Yunhui went to wash his hands and when he came back, he saw that his cousin had already started pouring wine.
He went directly to call the four children over, got a chair with a backrest for each of them to sit down, and then placed a small bowl in front of each of them: "You eat first and then play. No one can play if they are not full."
go."
On the other side where the dumplings were being made, Luo Xiyun returned to Mrs. Li Liyun and said, "Auntie, you can come over and eat too. My sister-in-law and I will just make dumplings."
"They are drinking, so I won't go. Let's finish packing and go have dinner together." Li Liyun said.
After she said this, Luo Xiyun stopped trying to persuade him.
Dong Guochuan likes to watch Qicheng news. This has been a habit for many years. When it is time, he turns on the TV.
The three people were drinking from the wine glasses when they suddenly heard the host's voice coming from the TV: "This morning, Mayor Comrade Liu Changhong and Vice Mayor Comrade Wang Hongsheng attended the 'Qi Municipal Government' hosted by the Qicheng City Government.
City's Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs Award Ceremony'. At this award ceremony, Comrade Liu Changhong and Comrade Wang Hongsheng respectively commended Lu Zongbing of Huida Petrochemical, Liu Derong of Lanjun Medical, Sun Xu of Kelan Co., Ltd., and Qicheng Petrochemical's
Guo Guangchang, Jia Chengfu of Fangyuan Chemical..."
The host was still reading the list, and Dong Guochuan was also mumbling: "These people are all great people. I know that Sun Xu. I heard that when Ke Lan shares were first listed, they made hundreds of millions overnight.
Millionaires, a dozen multi-millionaires, and dozens of millionaires, oh, the news was really sensational in our area at that time, and it was widely publicized for several days."
"Yeah, I'm really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I don't even know these things." Xia Zekai said modestly.
But he was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the news would be broadcast tonight.
Then the family heard the host on the TV continue to say: "After the award ceremony, Mr.
'After sharing his successful cases, he said that 'the industrial path of combining online sales and offline sales will be more stable and long-term in the future'."
"Colleague, Mr. Xia Zekai also proposed that logistics and express delivery will become a key factor restricting online sales. Comrade Liu Changhong and Comrade Wang Hongsheng highly recognized Mr. Xia Zekai's speech..."
