Following the instructions of his third brother from India, Shi Zhijian took the newly installed elevator in the lobby and went directly to the fifth floor.
The building was recently renovated, the corridor walls are white and bright, and a faint smell of paint can be smelled on the nose.
Shi Zhijian walked along the corridor according to the building instructions and soon arrived at Xu Shijian's general manager's office.
There was a reception desk set up at the door of the office, and a fashionably dressed girl was dozing off on the table out of boredom.
Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head alertly, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Shi Zhijian smiled at her, "Since I'm on the fifth floor, of course I'm looking for Mr. Xu Shijian!"
"What do you want from Mr. Xu? He is having a meeting in the office."
"My name is Shi Zhijian, and I am a friend of Mr. Xu! I have something important to do with him now. Please let me know."
The girl got up and looked out the window. It was still raining heavily outside. It seemed that the matter was really urgent if she could come here at this time.
Of course, another reason why girls think this way is that Shi Zhijian is handsome enough.
"Wait a moment." The girl walked to the door of the conference room, knocked gently, then pushed the door open a crack and said a few words inside.
After a moment, the girl turned back and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Xu said you can go in now."
"Thank you!" Shi Zhijian smiled at the girl again.
As soon as he walked to the door of the conference room, Shi Zhijian heard scolding coming from inside: "Take all these documents and redo them! As I said before, every detail must be taken care of for me. Don't think that I'm not keeping an eye on you.
You can just be lazy!"
Shi Zhijian knocked on the door, then opened the door and entered.
…
In the conference room, the floor was strewn with documents. Xu Shijian, the eldest son of the Xu Group, was standing at the chairman's table, with his suit open, hands on his hips, and he was losing his temper at his two subordinates in an imposing manner.
Seeing Shi Zhijian coming in, Xu Shijian just glanced contemptuously, and then pointed at the noses of two men: "Now go down and redo it for me! Immediately, immediately! GO-----!"
The two subordinates no longer hesitated and hurriedly picked up the documents scattered on the ground and scurried away.
After the two men left, Xu Shijian called out: "Judy, come in with two cups of coffee!" Then he pointed to the chair next to him and said to Shi Zhijian: "Please sit down!"
Shi Zhijian sat down on the chair.
Xu Shijian picked up the lighter on the table and lit a Dunhill cigarette, pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, then propped his elbows on the arms of the chair, tilting his head to Shi Zhijian and said: "Sorry, I made you laugh. By the way, who are you?
Coming?"
"My name is Shi Zhijian, a friend of Third Young Master."
"Oh, by the way, you are my third brother's friend. I saw you at the dock." Xu Shijian took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, "Then what do you want to do with me?"
Shi Zhijian took out a check of 500,000 yuan from his arms, "This is 500,000 yuan, the deposit for Hong Yihai to participate in the bidding!"
Xu Shijian was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the shining diamond watch on his wrist.
"The time is just right! It's quite interesting! But I'm curious, why did you send money?" Xu Shijian looked at Shi Zhijian with playful eyes.
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "Because Secretary Wei doesn't accept checks, I have to deliver it to you personally!"
Xu Shijian smiled and knocked on the table with the check pressed between his fingers. "The check is also money, and it is a cashier's check from Standard Chartered Bank. Why don't you accept it? By the way, is this money yours? I heard that Mr. Zhang from Hong Yihai is very stingy.
Yes, not to mention five hundred thousand, even if it’s fifty thousand, I’m not willing to pay it!”
Xu Shijian had already known Hong Yihai before the design bidding. In his eyes, people like Zhang Jiuding were losers eliminated by the times! If they don't even dare to spend 500,000 yuan to fight, what qualifications do they have to hold on to the dock?
!
Shi Zhijian nodded and was about to explain when the girl at the reception desk knocked on the door and came in with two cups of coffee on a tray.
Xu Shijian pointed to Shi Zhijian's side, "Give it to the guests first!"
The girl placed a cup of coffee in front of Shi Zhijian and Xu Shijian respectively, then went out with the tray, took a step back, and closed the door.
After Xu Shijian waited for the girl to go out, he pointed to the coffee in front of Shi Zhijian and said: "Drink coffee! I brought it specially from Italy. You are the third young master's friend, so you can drink it!" His tone was affectionate on the surface, but arrogant in reality.
Shi Zhijian was about to speak, but Xu Shijian flicked his cigarette ashes, "You haven't answered me yet, what is your relationship with Hong Yihai? Why do you need to help them pay this huge deposit?"
From the beginning to the end, Xu Shijian maintained a questioning tone and controlled the entire audience.
Shi Zhijian took his time and took a slow sip of coffee. He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be tasting it slowly.
Xu Shijian waited for his answer, but Shi Zhijian blew on the coffee slowly, took another sip, tasted it again, and savored it, making a full gesture.
Xu Shijian laughed, crushed the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said, "Mr. Shi, do you know that my time is precious and I am very impatient!"
Shi Zhijian put down his coffee and looked at Xu Shijian: "The five hundred thousand yuan is indeed mine. Hong Yihai can't pay for it, so I can help him. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Xu Shijian raised his eyebrows, "No! The money is yours, you can spend it however you want!"
"Then it's okay if I give you the money in person, right?"
"No, you are my third brother's friend. It doesn't hurt for me to meet you during my busy schedule!"
"Then let me ask you a favor. After taking the five hundred thousand, continue to contract the dock to Hong Yihai. Is there any problem with this?"
Xu Shijian smiled, stood up, put his hands on the table and looked down at Shi Zhijian: "What do you think? You are just my third brother's friend, why should I give you face? The dock is mine, I can hand it over to whomever I want.
!”
"Young Master, do you want to think about it again?" Shi Zhijian was not overwhelmed by Xu Shijian's momentum at all.
Xu Shijian laughed: "Consider it? Then give me a reason why I must consider it!"
Shi Zhijian took his time and took out a stack of photos from his arms and threw them in front of Xu Shijian: "Does this count as a reason?" After saying that, he picked up the coffee and tasted it again without looking at Xu Shijian's reaction.
Xu Shijian lowered his head and looked at the photos. At first, there was nothing wrong, thinking that Shi Zhijian was making a fool of himself. But his expression changed immediately. He hurriedly picked up one photo and looked at it carefully, and then picked up the others and looked at them carefully.
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Shijian glared at Shi Zhijian.
"That's wrong, I'm here to make friends with you!" Shi Zhijian put down his coffee and stood up, his eyes were normal to Xu Shijian's, and his tone seemed very sincere.
"Young Master, it is precisely because you are a good brother to Third Young Master that I sent the photo here so late! If the content in this photo leaks out, you should know better than me what impact it will have on Xu's Shipping!
"
After a pause, Shi Zhijian controlled his speaking speed: "Everyone knows that you work hard for the company. The fact that you are still in meetings so late is a good proof! The third young master often said that you are hard-working and often don't even want to have a reunion dinner.
Not available!"
"I admire people like you so much! But there are big trees with dead branches, and the shipping company is so big, it is inevitable that there will be some bad apples. I don't think you know about Mr. Zeng's smuggling this time. If you knew, you would definitely
Prevent!"
"But now that things have happened, as a friend of the Third Young Master, I can't just stand by and pretend that nothing happened! This incident can be deceived for a while, but not for a lifetime! What's more, what Manager Zeng did is very destructive to your shipping company. If not
If you stop it, there will inevitably be consequences!"
"After thinking about it, I felt that I had to do something. Originally, I planned to send this photo to the main office of Ming Pao, No. 18 Ka Yip Street, Chai Wan!"
"If you don't tell me, you may not know that I am a close friend of Mr. Cha, the president of "Ming Pao". He is currently preparing a martial arts novel called "The Deer and the Cauldron". The details have not been announced yet, and only I know about this. If you don't believe it,
You can ask!"
Shi Zhijian talks a lot about running trains, and he drives very fast.
"Mr. Cha likes to write editorials the most, and his writing style is sharp. You should know this very well! I originally wanted to give him the photos and let him help your company get rid of the bad apples, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that the family scandal should not be made public! And
You are a good brother to Third Young Master, and I think you will handle this matter well, so I came here in the rain late at night and opened my heart to have a long talk with you by candlelight!"
"If my actions really offend you and cause you to misunderstand, please forgive me, Mr. Xu!" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he hugged Xu Shijian's fists. Both his tone and attitude were full of sincerity.
Xu Shijian didn't even know which of Shi Zhijian's words was true and which was false, which he should believe and which he shouldn't believe. His expression changed again and again, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Shi Zhijian saw that Xu Shijian's expression was difficult to make a decision, so he sighed and said: "It seems that you want to kill your relatives out of justice, I understand!"
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian reached out to pick up the photo he had just thrown on the table.
"Wait!" Xu Shijian stretched out his hand to stop him, "Ajian, since you are third brother's friend, you are also my friend! Everything can be discussed!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, broke free with his hands and held Xu Shijian's hand in turn: "Well said! I also like friends like you the most, young master! You value love and righteousness, and your righteousness is as thin as the sky!"
…
When Shi Zhijian walked out of the shipping building again, the storm outside had stopped for a while.
At this moment, pedestrians began to appear on the wet road again.
The hawker selling Xirong carried a load and shouted about business loudly, and the shoe shine boy also set up his airs and started the first sale of the night.
There are also those coquettish girls who flirt with those salty guys on the street.
The patrol policemen who had disappeared just now appeared out of nowhere, waving their batons, shouting at disobedient pedestrians, and cursing: "I'll hit you on the street! I'll beat your lungs! Who's walking without eyes?"
"
Shi Zhijian stood at the door of the building and took a deep breath.
Because everything in front of him was filled with people.
They are all from Hong Yihai!
Led by Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong, and Chen Jinhu, standing next to them were Coolie Qiang, Fanshu Chang, Ya Zai Sheng, Da Tou Cheng, Shao Ya Jian and others who had previously pulled Shi Zhijian on the rickshaw!
Everyone looked at Shi Zhijian nervously, not even daring to breathe, waiting for him to speak.
Shi Zhijian lowered his head and held a match to light a cigarette. He raised his head and blew out the smoke from his mouth: "Get it done!"
