Zhang Ren nodded, "How could I not remember Mr. Xie? When I first joined the company, Mr. Xie took good care of me."
"Haha, let alone you. How many of us, our age, haven't received care from Mr. Xie?" Zhao Mingzhe showed a nostalgic expression on his face. "Hey, Old Zhang, do you still remember Mr. Zhao's daughter, Zhao Rong?"
"Of course I remember, Sister Xiaorong. I remember she was only a few years younger than us. At that time, it seemed that Ms. Zhao's husband was working abroad, so Ms. Zhao had to take care of the child herself. We all treated that girl as our sister."
"Haha, if I remember correctly, Xiao Rong married Guo Dabao from Rongbao Mining. I went to their wedding to drink."
As soon as he said this, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh that the world is really small. In Omsk, thousands of miles away from home, he could actually meet Guo Xiaoxiang's grandmother's former colleagues. The most important thing is that these two were very familiar with Aunt Zhao Rong back then...
"Hey, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao, now we are no longer outsiders. When I was studying for my master's degree in the UK, I lived in the same room with Aunt Zhao's son Guo Xiaoxiang for two years. During the Chinese New Year this year, Guo Xiaoxiang had a video chat with me at his grandmother's house, and I also met Xiaoxiang's grandmother. Even though the old lady is over 80 years old, she is in very good health." Yang Jing said with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Yang, now that you put it that way, we are really not strangers anymore. When we get to the table, we have to have a couple of drinks."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, we are old friends in a foreign land, so we must have a couple of drinks later. But you two have to be lenient, because you two are adults working on projects outside, so your alcohol tolerance must be very extraordinary. My father is like this, he works in the 13th Hydropower Bureau, he is away from home all year round, and I am afraid of him drinking..."
"Haha, you, Xiao Yang, are quite humorous. But since you just said that we are old friends in a foreign land, don't call him Mr. Zhang or Mr. Zhao anymore. Just call him uncle."
"Okay! Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhao."
It is said that nephews love their uncles. Yang Jing's personality is very similar to his uncle Li Long in some aspects, that is, he likes to make friends, and he is naturally likable. Many people like to talk and chat with him, and then they become friends while chatting.
Zhang Renzhong and Zhao Mingzhe were obviously in this situation as well. Given their status and age, it would be difficult for them to get along with young people under 30 years old. However, after a few words today, these two people simply treated Yang Jing as their junior.
Zhao Mingzhe seemed to be a heavy smoker. As he spoke, he got excited and took out a box of Da Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, took out three cigarettes, and gestured to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hands, "Uncle Zhao, this is the only thing I haven't learned in my life. You and Uncle Zhang can have the fight, I won't have any."
Zhao Mingzhe nodded and put a cigarette back in his pocket, while Zhang Renzhong took the other one.
The two lit up their cigarettes and took a puff before muttering to themselves, "Why hasn't Mr. Alekperov arrived yet? He's the local boss's treat, and he hasn't arrived yet at this hour."
Zhao Mingzhe said, "I think something is wrong. When I went out just now, I saw a few people walking into his office. They seemed to be from the government. I guess they will be delayed for a while. It doesn't matter. It's not too late at this time. We can just wait for a while."
Then Zhao Mingzhe asked Yang Jing, "Xiao Yang, what position do you hold in Rongbao Mining now? Guo Dabao obviously thinks highly of you since he sent you to Russia."
"Respected? Haha, that's not the case. I'm just an idler in the company. Uncle Guo only calls on me when he has something to do. I'm not in the company normally. I'm still studying for a doctorate at Yanjing."
"Oh, Xiao Yang, you are really an excellent student. Just now you said that you studied for your master's degree in London. It seems that you continued to study for a doctorate right after returning to China?"
Yang Jing nodded.
"Good! Good, it's a good thing to learn more while you're young... Oh, here comes Mr. Alekperov."
Yang Jing turned his head and saw Alekperov walking in from the door accompanied by Alexei. However, Yang Jing was puzzled by the fact that a white man in his fifties who looked very strong also walked in. As soon as this man entered the door, he fixed his eyes on Yang Jing...
