Chapter 48 Lao Liang's Difficulties
It’s not even the last two days of the National Day holiday yet, and traffic on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway is very smooth.
Luo Yang got on the highway around 1:30 in the afternoon, and the car arrived near the school around 4 o'clock.
The other three people in the dormitory had not returned yet, and they could not go to the sales office, but Luo Yang would not be alone, because Jiang Wen had returned to the Magic City earlier than him and they had made an appointment to have dinner together.
After putting away his luggage and picking up Jiang Wen, he subconsciously avoided the commercial street south of the school and drove to Songjiang to eat Pizza Hut.
Nowadays, eating steak at Pizza Hut is quite attractive to young people.
"Luo Yang, have I annoyed you these past two days?"
It’s no wonder Jiang Wen asked this. In the past two days, she sent more than a dozen text messages every day, but never received a reply from Luo Yang during the day.
Either I don’t want to go back, or it’s inconvenient to go back.
Either way, it was not a good thing for Jiang Wen, so after the two met, she tried to hint at it.
"It's not bad. It's mainly because I've been busy at home these past two days, and I only have some free time before going to bed at night."
Fortunately, at least Luo Yang sleeps alone at night.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wen felt more at ease, and then she became excited again: "Let's go to Chedun Film and Television City together tomorrow. Maybe we can run into a crew filming and see some big stars."
The Chedun Film and Television Base is located in Songjiang, where street scenes such as Nanjing Road in the Shanghai during the Republic of China period are restored. Therefore, many film and television dramas involving the old Shanghai are filmed at this base.
There was nothing to do tomorrow anyway, so Luo Yang nodded and agreed.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wen’s wish was not fulfilled. Just as the steak was served, Luo Yang’s cell phone rang.
The person who called was Liang Xingmin.
"Xiao Luo, are you still in your hometown?"
After all, Lao Liang was the boss who paid Luo Yang's salary, but the voice on the phone was so "soft" that he immediately had a bad feeling.
"Will we be able to get back to the Magic City in time tomorrow?"
Sure enough, the previous sentence was purely a foreshadowing. For Liang Xingmin, it didn’t matter whether Luo Yang was in his hometown today. He would still have time to rush back to Songjiang tomorrow anyway.
"Chairman, please give me your instructions directly if you have anything to say."
Having said that, there is no point in struggling. It is better to be sensible.
"The suggestion you and Yuxin made last time was very good. I have contacted the CEOs of several development companies in the new district these two days and have arranged to get together tomorrow night."
Liang Xingmin was very pleased with Luo Yang's tact, and said cheerfully with a hearty laugh: "No need to hurry too early, just come to the company at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I'll take you to the dinner."
The person is quite nice, Luo Yang doesn't need to rush too early.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Jiang Wen, who was sitting opposite him, had curled up the corners of her mouth.
"You probably heard a little bit of the content. There's nothing we can do about it."
Luo Yang smiled bitterly, and then comforted Jiang Wen: "Someone from your dormitory should be back to school tomorrow afternoon, and you can go to the film and television base with them then."
"Luo Yang, I'm not the one who's suffering!"
I thought Jiang Wen would be depressed, but I didn't expect her to have such a strong ability to self-regulate. By the time Luo Yang finished speaking, she was already able to speak in a playful tone.
"what?"
Luo Yang just picked up the knife and fork, then paused and asked in confusion: "Because I have to work overtime?"
"Once I meet up with them, I will have to stay in the dormitory tomorrow night, and you won't be able to sleep with the sweet-smelling Jiang Wen in your arms!"
As the little elf spoke, she raised the fork to her mouth, opened her mouth and put the cut steak into her mouth, then stuck out her pink little tongue and rolled it around her lips.
The first blood was taken not long ago, where did you learn this?
Self-taught without a teacher?
Luo Yang decided to order another steak to increase his bull power.
Jiang Wen just laughed. She was forced by her mother to learn dancing for more than ten years. She had the physical strength to stand for eight hours a day. She also joined the yoga club in school because she needed to improve her leg shape. Is eating two steaks enough?
All I can say is that both of them underestimated each other. One has strong core strength, and the other is experienced. The two are evenly matched.
The next day at noon, Luo Yang sent Jiang Wen back to school and then drove directly to Jincheng Building.
Because it was the National Day holiday, the Jincheng Building was very deserted, and there was only one person on duty at the front desk in the lobby.
When he went up to the 18th floor, he saw Lu Na as expected.
"Sister Lu, is the chairman in there?"
It was just past half past one, so Luo Yang asked the question.
"Yes, the chairman went to inspect the construction site this morning and took a nap in the office at noon. He should have woken up by now."
Lu Na smiled and said politely: "He told me before that you can just go in when you get here."
"Okay, I'll go in first."
Luo Yang smiled back, then knocked on the door and entered Liang Xingmin's office.
"Chairman!"
"Come on, it's still early, drink some tea with me first."
Lao Liang was sitting at the tea table by the floor-to-ceiling window. When he saw Luo Yang come in, he waved for him to sit over.
After Luo Yang sat down, he politely handed him a glass of wine, which made him even more uneasy.
"Luo Yang, I heard from Yu Xin that you cooperated very well at work some time ago. I finally feel relieved."
Liang Xingmin said as he heated the teacup: "To be honest, I have my own difficulties. Yuxin has just joined the company, and many of the senior executives are veterans who started the business with me. After much thought, you are the most suitable person to assist her."
The transfer of a position like an assistant should be notified to the person concerned, but Lao Liang didn't even mention it.
But what could Luo Yang do? He didn't know that he was exchanged for Lu Na by Liang Yuxin.
"I understand the chairman's difficulties. It's actually quite good. Mr. Liang and I are not much different in age, so we have a lot in common."
The more he talked, the more something strange looked in Liang Xingmin's eyes when he looked at Luo Yang.
"Could this kid have some thoughts that he shouldn't have?"
I felt a little uncomfortable and quickly shook my head to get rid of the thought.
His daughter graduated from Fudan University and is also studying for a master's degree at the Wharton School of Business. Naturally, she has extremely high standards. How could she possibly look down on Luo Yang?
"Luo Yang, the suggestion you made last time was very subtle."
Liang Xingmin changed the subject in time and returned to business. He pushed the cup of tea to Luo Yang and continued, "I guess the other CEOs will also bring their trusted generals with them tonight. You should be mentally prepared."
In fact, there is no need to be so secretive when talking behind closed doors.
Luo Yang knew what Liang Xingmin meant. This kind of thing was originally a little bit borderline. If one of the CEOs got drunk and said something bad in other occasions, at least these real estate companies would leave a bad impression on their superiors.
So when several CEOs meet, even if they express their attitudes, they cannot say things like raising prices to boost the market.
At this time, the role of confidants is reflected.
But Luo Yang also had doubts in his heart: "Chairman, I know you value me, but I skipped Director Dai on this matter. I'm afraid he will..."
After all, Dai Dongming is the marketing director.
Moreover, Luo Yang was sure that the people brought over by other CEOs tonight were most likely those in charge of marketing in their respective companies.
"You proposed the plan, are you willing to give the opportunity to Dongming?"
"Chairman, I'm a part-timer!"
