Jiang Xuekun liked the young man Xie Qian so much that he really wanted to take him home and make him his own son.
The second generation who are born into wealth and have never suffered hardship are easily led astray. Compared with the sons of some of Jiang Youjia and Jiang Xuekun's friends, they are already considered good. When they were studying abroad, they did not spend their money on wine and women and have girlfriends promiscuously, nor did they drive luxury cars and nightclubs to show off their wealth. After completing their studies, they returned to China to "start a business". Although they benefited from their family's influence, they are already upright young people compared to those prodigal sons.
Jiang Xuekun admitted that his son Jiang Youjia had his strengths, but when it came to Jiang Youjia's future achievements, it was not that Jiang Xuekun looked down on his own son, but it would be difficult for Jiang Youjia to surpass Jiang Xuekun's current achievements... It had nothing to do with how much money Jiang Youjia would make in the future. Jiang Xuekun was talking about social influence. As the general manager of a large publishing group, he possessed a social status that was not comparable to that of an ordinary businessman.
Jiang Youjia has had smooth sailing since childhood, with no setbacks in either his studies or his marriage. This is a good thing, but it also limits Jiang Youjia's development ceiling.
Xie Qian met the Zhao brothers and sisters once and has avoided them ever since. However, Jiang Youjia has been friends with Zhao Dong for so long. His ability to judge people is so poor!
Forget it. If such a silly kid is really released, Jiang Xuekun will be very worried. It would be good if he can develop some small business under his nose and not have to worry about food and drink.
People should learn to be content. If your child does not have the character to achieve great things, don't force him or her out.
It's certainly great to surpass your parents' achievements, but it's also normal not to.
Xie Qian is different. Xie Qian has the qualities to accomplish great things. This child has a bright future.
There is no perfection in the world. Such a good child is forced to mature early. Perhaps it is a test deliberately given by God.
Jiang Xuekun let his thoughts wander for a while, and when he came to his senses, he found that his stupid son was already some distance away from him. Jiang Youjia was kidnapped by Zhao Dong for some reason, and Zhao Dong was "introducing" connections to Jiang Youjia.
"Youjia and I are good friends. We met abroad."
"When I first returned to China, it was thanks to Youjia that I integrated into the Chengdu community."
"Youjia's business is my, Zhao Dong's business."
Zhao Dong grabbed Jiang Youjia's arm and introduced him to everyone with a smile.
——It was Jiang Youjia who "looked after" him in the beginning, and now it is his turn to "promote" Jiang Youjia.
Compared with Zhao Dong's current reputation, Jiang Youjia's achievements are not worth mentioning. Only his father who is the general manager of Rongcheng Publishing Group is worthy of others' attention.
Oh, you are able to be here today because of your father, right?
The people standing next to Zhao Dong all looked at Jiang Youjia with meaningful expressions.
Mr. Zhao is very generous.
This Mr. Jiang may not really consider Mr. Zhao as his friend.
Jiang Xuekun is the general manager of Rongcheng Publishing Group, but Mr. Zhao's autobiography was handed over to a publishing house in Shandong Province for operation. The ins and outs of this are worth discussing.
Jiang Youjia felt uncomfortable with the gazes of the crowd. No matter how badly he was doing, he never asked Zhao Dong for help!
Besides, is Zhao Dong promoting me?
It's obvious that once he gained power, he deliberately humiliated him!
Jiang Youjia struggled to break free from Zhao Dong's control and sneered, "Boss Zhao, we're just acquaintances, how can we be good friends? A nobody like me wouldn't dare to associate with Boss Zhao. Please don't say things that could lead to misunderstandings!"
Zhao Dong smiled and seemed to be very tolerant of a childish friend who was throwing a tantrum.
Everyone around Zhao Dong frowned.
...This Jiang Youjia is a bit ungrateful!
Forget it. There are so many people at the party. There is no need for them to waste their time on such an ungrateful person.
Jiang Youjia returned to Jiang Xuekun, cursing, "Zhao Dong, this villain, wants to step on me to build his own image. Bah, I won't indulge him!"
A qualified member of society would be hypocritical and act like a brother with Zhao Dong, but Jiang Youjia is obviously a straightforward person.
Jiang Xuekun felt both headache and amusement: It's good to distance himself from the matter, otherwise he would be embarrassed together with Zhao Dong.
This little episode between Jiang Youjia and Zhao Dong spread quickly at the cocktail party, and soon several people came over to ask Jiang Xuekun what was going on.
Although Zhao Dong has been very powerful recently, some of the guests attending the cocktail party today are Jiang Xuekun's old friends. If there is a conflict between Zhao Dong and the Jiang family, these old friends will definitely stand on Jiang Xuekun's side.
There were several waves of people asking about the situation, and Jiang Xuekun always gave the same answer:
"It's no big deal. Young people make friends based on whether they get along well. If not, just avoid them."
"I often criticize Youjia for being too direct and easily offending people."
"If you have the ability, then work hard on your own. What kind of man is it to rely on Mr. Zhao's help? We appreciate Mr. Zhao's kindness."
Oh, I understand. This means you want to draw a clear line between yourself and Zhao Dong!
But why!
Jiang Xuekun’s friends have different thoughts.
Some people wanted to take advantage of today's cocktail party to deepen their impression of Zhao Dong and get to know Zhao Dong, a returned overseas Chinese businessman. It's not that they wanted to take advantage of him, but mainly because more friends mean more paths. If you can't use it now, you may need it in the future. Friends are not made on the spot, and personal connections require daily maintenance.
But because of Jiang Xuekun's attitude, several people who wanted to get to know Zhao Dong suddenly hesitated.
Forget it. Giving timely assistance is a good thing, but adding icing on the cake always seems too materialistic. It’s better not to get close to Zhao Dong.
Jiang Xuekun's attitude made several friends stop rationally. Their trust in Jiang Xuekun's character saved them from embarrassment for a while.
The cocktail party came to an end unknowingly. Zhao Dong was a little tipsy. Some people wanted to flatter Zhao Dong and suggested that he go on stage to say a few words.
What should I talk about?
I definitely can’t talk about the bidding, as it hasn’t been finalized yet.
But I can talk about "Zhao Family Letters".
At any time and in any occasion, talking about literary creation is an elegant thing. The guests at today's cocktail party are more or less all connected with the Chengdu cultural circle. Even if some people are pretending, they have to pretend to be cultured.
Someone made a suggestion and immediately people applauded. Zhao Dong felt a little elated and turned to look at a leader who had particularly admired him recently.
The leader also nodded slightly with an encouraging smile on his face.
"Then I'll just throw out some ideas. If I don't speak well, please bear with me."
Zhao Dong said he would just talk a little, but once he started he couldn't stop. He talked about the development of cultural tourism from "Zhao Family Letters", and slowly led the topic to the areas he really cared about.
Confident men are the most attractive. Watching Zhao Dong talking on the stage, some people present had other thoughts: such an elite who returned from China, with a straight head and a handsome face, is young and promising and single, can they be brought together?
"Chengdu is a developing city. It's Mr. Zhao's hometown and the place where Mr. Zhao's future career will develop—"
Before he could finish what he was saying, there was a commotion at the entrance of the cocktail party.
The person walking in front is Song Foxiang!
Song Foxiang came in with a paper bag in his arms, looking very proud, followed by a group of reporters carrying cameras.
Zhao Dong on the stage was stuck for a moment, feeling that the scene looked familiar.
