At the Withered Old Tree Cafe near the Third Construction Company of Tianyun City, Mr. Xu was sitting at the table by the window on the second floor, quietly reading an economic management book.
Not in a hurry, as if he was here just to drink coffee and read a book.
At another table not far away, Xi Dongyang and Tang Qing were sitting.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a tall man in black trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt trotted over quickly with a brown leather bag in his arm.
Hearing the sound, Comrade Xu took his eyes away from the book and looked up.
Then with a smile on his face, he stood up and stretched out his hand, "Manager Jin! Slow down! There's no rush, I'm taking the liberty to ask you to meet, sorry for bothering you!"
The tall man smiled with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to shake Comrade Xu's hand, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? It's rare that you still remember me, Mr. Xu. I am very honored to receive your invitation! If you want to bother me, it's me who is bothering you."
Ah! Haha."
This person's name is Jin Yunfei.
He is a deputy manager of the project department of Tianyun Third Construction Company.
He is in his early thirties, tall and energetic.
Previously, the factory buildings, office buildings, canteens, internal roads, etc. of Xu Tongdao's Ximen Food Co., Ltd. factory were all constructed by Tianyun City Third Construction Company.
At that time, Jin Yunfei was the project leader in charge of those projects.
It was at that time that Tongdao Xu met him.
During the several months of dealing with Jin Yunfei, Comrade Xu greatly appreciated his work ability, especially his enthusiasm for work.
But it was also during that time that Comrade Xu accidentally noticed that Jin Yunfei was not doing well in the Third Construction Company.
It seems that Jin Yunfei was assigned to be responsible for the construction of his factories, office buildings, canteens, etc. It seems that he was squeezed out.
How did Xu Tongdao come to this conclusion?
One time, he accidentally heard Jin Yunfei talking on the phone with someone. Jin Yunfei did not see him at that time. In fact, Comrade Xu did not see Jin Yunfei at that time.
Both of them are in the bathroom.
There is a bathroom stall separated from each other.
Jin Yunfei was on the phone with someone, and what he said happened to be heard by Comrade Xu.
After that day, when Comrade Xu was communicating with a person in charge of the construction company, he thought of Jin Yunfei. Out of curiosity and some caution, he asked Jin Yunfei how he was doing in the company.
The person in charge at that time probably didn't think much and just said a few words to him casually.
There are several sentences among them that Xu Tongdao has always kept in mind.
He remembered what the man said at that time: "Deputy Manager Jin? Ha, he is unlucky! It must be his bad luck! I remember that when he joined our company, he happened to join the company at the same time as our leader's nephew. In terms of academic qualifications,
, In terms of ability, Deputy Manager Jin has nothing to say, but he has no strong connections. He is the nephew of the leader, shouldn’t he be promoted? So... Haha, Mr. Xu, do you understand what I mean? "
The man didn't say what he said at that time.
But for Xu Tongdao, it can be considered a clear explanation.
If the leader's nephew wants to be promoted, he will naturally perform better than his colleagues who joined the company at the same time.
Even if it's just what the leader says is better.
Therefore, Jin Yunfei should have been suppressed.
When Comrade Xu heard about this, he remembered it in his heart.
The second thing he did when he came to Tianyun City this time was to ask Jin Yunfei to meet.
…
The coffee ordered for Jin Yunfei was served.
The two exchanged a few words and finally got down to business.
Jin Yunfei: "Mr. Xu, I wonder if you asked me to meet here today?"
When asking, Jin Yunfei looked at Comrade Xu curiously.
Comrade Xu put down the coffee cup in his hand and said jokingly: "I have seen Manager Jin's talent, and it is outstanding! So, I am here to recruit people today, Manager Jin! Consider coming to work with me? Consider it.
one time?"
Jin Yunfei looked surprised and blinked, "Mr. Xu, are you kidding?"
Comrade Xu's smile remained unchanged, "Manager Jin, do you think I specially invited you here today just to play a joke on you?"
Jin Yunfei's eyes were filled with doubts, "No, Mr. Xu, I remember your factory produces instant noodles, right? Are you poaching me? I'm studying architecture, huh, why are you poaching me? To help you produce instant noodles?"
This, this major is too inappropriate, isn’t it? I’m sorry, Mr. Xu, I haven’t thought about crossing industries so much yet, I’m sorry!”
Tongdao Xu shook his head slightly, "Of course I'm not asking you to produce instant noodles. Manager Jin, don't refuse in a hurry. Let me tell you this! I plan to enter the real estate industry recently. I have already prepared to acquire land and build a building, but I still have some shortages here.
As for the salary of a person in charge who helps me take care of these things, you can rest assured that it will definitely exceed your salary at the Third Construction Company. If you have any other requirements, you can mention them to me."
At this point, Comrade Xu did not continue.
He looked across at Jin Yunfei with twinkling eyes.
The more Jin Yunfei listened, the more surprised he became. As he listened, his brows slowly wrinkled in thought.
When Comrade Xu finished speaking, Jin Yunfei did not speak for a while.
After a while, Jin Yunfei asked seriously: "Mr. Xu, do you really plan to enter the real estate industry? Well... can I ask, do you plan to do a project? Or do you plan to develop in this industry for a long time in the future? What about investment?"
…
Comrade Xu and Jin Yunfei chatted in this cafe for more than two hours.
In the end, Jin Yunfei still didn't agree.
But Comrade Xu could also see that Jin Yunfei was already hesitating.
He said that he would go back and think about it for a few days, and then he would reply to him when he had really thought about it.
In this regard, Tongdao Xu expressed his understanding and did not force him to express his position on the spot.
When poaching people, there is a normal process.
How can a real talent decide to change jobs easily?
…
In the afternoon, Comrade Xu and others took the bus back to Shuiniao City.
When they arrived in the city, Xu Tongdao sent Tan Shi and Tang Qing to the group headquarters, while he continued to take the bus back to Shazhou County with Xi Dongyang.
He and Xi Dongyang have not been back to Shazhou for some time.
When he went back this time, he first asked Xi Dongyang to drive the car to a supermarket. He got out of the car and went in with Xi Dongyang to buy a bunch of food and put the used items in the car.
Then he asked Xi Dongyang to drive to his house first.
This "other family" is Xi Dongyang's family.
Xi Dongyang was very surprised.
Xu Tongdao: "You haven't been back for a while, so go home and rest for two days! I will drive home by myself in a while and may stay at home for two days. I will call you again before I leave."
Xi Dongyang thought about it, smiled, agreed, and said "thank you."
When Xi Dongyang got out of the car, Xu Tongdao moved some things he had just bought from the supermarket from the trunk and gave them to Xi Dongyang to take home.
Xi Dongyang was not polite to him either.
Not long after, Xu Tongdao drove home alone.
It's already July now.
During his brother's college entrance examination last month, his factory was at a critical time for product launches, so he couldn't make time to come back.
At present, his brother's college entrance examination has long been completed, and he has actually wanted to come back for a long time.
