As dusk approached, in the luxurious private room of Xie's private club, the head of the Xie family, Xie Shihao, sat in front of the tea table and tasted tea leisurely.
Xie Xi, the second young master of the Xie family, was sitting next to his father. He watched his father slowly take the tea cup to his mouth with his hand. He didn't know what his father was waiting for. He wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he held back.
Too many things have happened in recent times, whether it is the eldest brother Xie Dongcheng running for Congress or the younger sister Xie Bingqian running for the director of the Drug Administration, the atmosphere in the Xie family has been dull and makes people take a breather.
Xie Xi always considered himself smart, but what he experienced after returning to Thailand from the United States made him understand that the most indispensable thing in this world is people, especially smart people - it can be said that there are many smarter people than him! No
Speaking of other things, Shi Zhijian alone is beyond comparison.
Before this, Xie Xi was completely proud. He graduated from a prestigious American university. Although he failed to start a business in the United States, he gained experience. He has always been conceited. When he came back, there were only a handful of people who believed that he could be his rival. But since he met
Shi Zhijian, a guy who uses his brains to dig holes and bury people at any time, completely destroyed Xie Xijiu's self-confidence.
When fighting with others, at least his moves can be seen, but facing Shi Zhijian, a gentle guy with a smiling face, Xie Xi felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. The most important thing was that there were no traces of the opponent's moves. When he woke up, he had been attacked by this person.
A venomous snake bites me.
Time passed slowly until the manager of the club walked in again and asked Xie Shihao if he wanted to have a meal. There were Chinese food, Thai food, and Western food here, you could choose at your will.
Xie Shihao raised his head and took a look outside the window. It turned out that it was already dark outside without realizing it.
Xie Shihao waved his hand and dismissed the club manager who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him.
At this moment, the club manager who had just left outside came back, knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Xie, a guest came outside and said he was invited by you!"
"Father, let me help you greet him!" Xie Xi took the opportunity to get up and walk out of the box. He wanted to see who this "distinguished guest" was who dared his father to wait from day to night.
At the same time, the club usher led a person up to the second floor.
Xie Xi ran into him head-on, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the man. The man turned out to be the ghostly Dr. Fitt.
I remember correctly, this ghost old man is from Shi Zhijian's side. Especially in this battle for the position of director of the Food and Drug Administration, the reason why Shi Zhijian is still alive is because of this ghost old man's support. Now my father invites this person here, why?
thing?
Xie Xi couldn't understand, but after all, he came from a wealthy family and was well-educated in all aspects. He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Dr. Feite, my father has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time!"
Dr. Fite looked at Xie Xi with the same expression, just nodded slightly and kept a serious smile.
Xie Xi didn't care. He knew that the sociable old man in front of him was a real scholar. To put it bluntly, he was a nerd.
Xie Xi asked the greeter to step aside, and he personally led Dr. Fit towards the private room.
After entering the private room, Dr. Fitt glanced at the elder Xie Shihao who was waiting in the room, and then turned to look at his son Xie Xi.
Xie Shihao waved his hand and signaled Xie Xi to go out first.
Xie Xi was stunned for a moment, a little reluctant. He wanted to know what his father was talking about with this ghost.
Helpless, under Xie Shihao's eyes, Xie Xi had no choice but to leave obediently and close the door behind him.
After seeing his son go out, Xie Shihao stood up with a smile and invited Dr. Fit to sit down in front of the tea table and said: "There are only you and me here now. There is no need to see anyone else. Please feel free to do so!"
When Dr. Fit saw this, he pulled up a chair and sat in front of the tea table, took out a pack of Sanwu cigarettes from his pocket and lit it: "Mr. Xie, I don't know why you invited me here today?" While speaking, he
He raised his head and looked at Xie Shihao.
Xie Shihao smiled slightly, looked at Dr. Fitt and smoked and said, "I didn't know that you like to smoke, so why don't I prepare a lit cigar for you."
"No, you are wrong." Dr. Fit slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said seriously: "I don't like smoking. Smoking is harmful to health. It's just that I like to take a puff in such an environment. I don't like this kind of smoking."
The atmosphere is a bit stressful.”
"I'm sorry, it seems like I'm the one putting this pressure on you. I apologize!" Xie Shihao said, personally mentioning the prepared tea party, washing the teacup for Dr. Fitt, then pouring a cup and passing it over, "Have a cup of tea first,
It can also relieve stress.”
Dr. Fit put the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs on the ashtray, picked up the tea cup and smelled it, "Good tea!"
"Doctor, it seems that you are an expert. This is the best jasmine tea. It can clear away heat and dispel fire. If you like it, I will have someone pack a bag for you when you leave."
Dr. Fite put down the tea cup: "You know I'm very busy, and my laboratory is still waiting for me, so if you want to say anything, just say it..."
"Okay, talk quickly! I like it!" Xie Shihao smiled at Dr. Fit and said: "People don't talk secretly. Everyone knows that Shi Zhijian has your support behind him this time. If not, he would be dead by now!
The penicillin ban alone could have killed him several times! Now, the competition for the position of Director of the Drug Administration is also the same. I hope Dr. Fitt that you can understand the situation clearly and stand on my side... What do you think, would you consider this suggestion?
"
Dr. Rao Shifei was already prepared. When he heard Xie Shihao's words, he frowned and stared into Xie Shihao's eyes and said slowly: "You don't have to do this. Now everyone knows that you thank Xie Shihao."
With Admiral Peng Bing backing our family, your precious daughter Xie Bingqian will be appointed as the first female director tomorrow, so why do you invite me to come and ask me to be on your side?"
"Doctor, don't belittle yourself. Maybe outsiders think you are not prestigious enough and have insufficient abilities, which is why Shi Zhijian lost the director election. But I am the only one who knows that Dr. Fitt, you did not try your best. If you relied on your previous achievements,
If the King of Thailand looks at you differently, say a few words to Shi in front of him, maybe... the situation will be reversed!"
"You also know that I thank someone for doing business, and business is all about comprehensive calculation. I don't allow even a single omission in my game of chess. That's why I specially invited you, Doctor, to come over today and make a good friend with you.
Fate! How about it, you can consider it, my door will be open to you at any time!" Xie Shihao opened his hands to Dr. Fitt and said seriously.
Dr. Fit picked up the tea cup and remained silent for a long time: "I am just an academic researcher. What I care about are my experiments, my patients, and the data that never lie, so I am honest with you and
Shi Zhijian is not interested in fighting!"
"Maybe you are right!" Xie Shihao smiled, reached for the teapot to add water to Fit's tea cup, and then slowly pushed it in front of him: "But scientific research also requires money, right? As far as I know, the topic you are currently researching is
It's very expensive, it can even be said to be a bottomless pit, and even the higher authorities have stopped financial support... Now you are the only one who persists! In my opinion, you are a lonely warrior, knowing clearly that the enemy is powerful, but you still refuse to give up!"
"What do you mean by that?" Dr. Fitt looked at the cup of tea in front of him and then at Xie Shihao.
Xie Shihao sat back, leaned his waist on the back of the chair and said: "I mean I admire you very much and am willing to spend a large sum of money to support you and help you complete the scientific research at hand----As for you, I believe you do too
A gentleman, he knows that to gain something, you have to give something.
…Anyway, you help me and I’ll help you, okay?”
"After all, you still want me to choose a side and let me support you - why bother?" Dr. Fit was silent for a few minutes after saying that, then he put out his cigarette and stood up, turned around to leave, but when he reached the door,
, he stopped, turned around and asked: "How much can you help me?"
Xie Shihao laughed when he heard this!
…
After Dr. Ghost Old Fit left, Xie Xi returned to the private room. Seeing his father's face smiling and looking very happy, he couldn't help but ask: "Father, what on earth did you tell him? I saw that
The old ghost looked sad when he left----"
"With a sad face? He should be happy!" Xie Shihao leaned on the sofa, turned the jade ring on his hand, and then told what happened just now.
After hearing this, Xie Xi frowned and said: "There is absolutely no need to do this! Now that we have won, father, why do you have to waste so much money on it? Three hundred thousand is not a small amount!"
Xie Shihao looked at his son and sneered, "I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted!"
"Father, I----"
Xie Shihao interrupted his son: "Now we are playing chess with that Shi Zhijian. Every move must be made safely and step by step! I can't give him the slightest chance to turn over! This time, I will kill him!"
When talking about "defeat", Xie Shihao's eyes burst out with a frightening light.
In Xie Shihao's view, now that even Dr. Fitt, the only one who supports Shi Zhijian, is on his side, then Shi Zhijian has really become a loner. No matter how powerful he is, he can't make any waves!
"Father, you think too highly of people named Shi!" Xie Xi choked out.
Xie Shihao looked at his son and smiled: "Did I look down on him, or did you look down on him?"
"I----" Xie Shihao couldn't help but be afraid of Shi Zhijian.
As for the reason why he said that just now, it was entirely out of jealousy towards Shi Zhijian.
Seeing that his son was silent, Xie Shihao leaned back on his chair and slowly closed his eyes: "Since you have nothing to say, let's go out!"
Xie Xi hesitated for a moment, turned around and left. Just as he closed the door of the private room, he heard his father singing from inside: "The great river goes to the east, and the waves are gone, and the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fortress, the way of humanity is
,Three Kingdoms Zhoulang Chibi..."
When Xie Xi went down to the second floor, he could vaguely hear his father's increasingly loud and heroic voice: "Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and how many heroes are there at once!"
…
The next day, the whole Bangkok was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
In particular, newspapers and magazines published numerous articles introducing the appointment of the Medical Bureau.
Bangkok’s Economic Times: “The first female director of the Food and Drug Administration is about to be born! Highly anticipated!”
"Current Affairs Express": "A new page for women's rights in this country is about to begin! Everyone is paying attention!"
In addition, major TV stations in Thailand also gave detailed reports on the election for the director of the Drug Administration.
Among these reports, the three words "Xie Bingqian" appear most frequently, and even unknowingly, Xie Bingqian has become a representative of women's rights and a major event in Thailand's internationalization and international integration.
In short, the whole of Bangkok was in excitement on this day, and countless people were eagerly waiting to witness the birth of the first female director of the Drug Administration in history.
Xie's mansion in the eastern suburbs of Bangkok.
As a Chinese tycoon, Xie's mansion is one of the most magnificent in this area.
At this time, outside the Xie family's mansion, there were rows of cars and a forest of people. Hundreds of people gathered outside the mansion, some in suits and leather shoes, some in Tang shirts and wide trousers, and many media reporters with long guns and short cannons.
Prepare for those guests who keep coming.
Today is a happy day for the Xie family. Early in the morning, people came to congratulate the third lady of the Xie family on being honored as director.
Xie Shihao was modest on the surface, saying that this kind of thing has not yet been written, and before the appointment is made, anything will happen.
This means that there are still variables.
But for those guests who came to congratulate them, there are unpredictable variables!
The Xie family has the support of General Peng Bing, the elder of the Privy Council, and the Privy Council is the central base for deciding personnel appointments. It has been rumored from there that the third daughter of the Xie family, Xie Bingqian, will win this time.
Since Xie Shihao wants to act, he has become modest and cautious, and everyone is still very cooperative.
"Boss Xie, you are being polite when you say this. Your beloved is a talented woman and a woman who cannot be outdone by men. If she cannot be shortlisted, who else is qualified to be shortlisted?"
"Yes, we are all very optimistic about Miss Xie! For us, Miss Xie is the best candidate for the position of director this time!"
"If anyone doesn't choose a third lady, I will be the first one not to agree!"
There is no tax on bragging, and no tax on flattery.
A large group of people kept expressing their feelings towards Xie Shihao, and even beat their chests loudly.
Of course, Xie Shihao would not take these idle words seriously, but he still sincerely invited everyone in, arranged for everyone to sit in the hall, and asked the servants to help pour tea and water.
"Gao Wanjun, Mr. Gao is here!" the doorman sang.
Xie Shihao was not surprised at all, and arranged for his son Xie Xi to help take care of the guests first, while he took his baby Xie Bingqian to greet them personally.
When Gao Wanjun and his son came to the door, they bumped into Xie Shihao who came forward to greet them.
The two sides exchanged a few words.
Gao Wanjun said: "Today is your beloved's happy day, and I'm here to congratulate you! In addition----"
Gao Wanjun winked at his son Gao Chaohui, and Gao Chaohui reluctantly took out a piece of yellow paper with his birth date written on it from his arms and handed it over.
"This is----" Xie Shihao frowned.
"Oh, this is Quanzi Chaohui's birth date, which was calculated in the temple - I have always liked your beloved Bingqian, but I don't know what you think, Boss Xie?"
When Xie Bingqian heard this, her pretty face suddenly changed, but she was standing next to Xie Shihao, so few people noticed the change in her expression.
