"Xiaoying is still so willful, but she seems to be overthinking this matter." Cao Pingzhi frowned. "Family interests come first. Has she forgotten the family motto?"
"It's not entirely her fault," Cao Jianguo sighed. "It's our fault for not telling her about the plan in advance."
Cao Pingzhi said: "If I tell her, I'm sure she will object."
"Yes." Cao Jianguo said, "So we can't blame her completely now. Once a woman is truly in love, let alone the family rules, it's not impossible for her to die for Tang Xiaobao."
Cao Pingzhi frowned and said, "What's the point of talking about love affairs? Born in the Cao family, you can't expect too much of these things. If she had listened to you and taken Tang Xiaobao down, the Luo family wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of her, and we wouldn't have had to implement the second plan."
"I don't understand what you young people are doing."
Cao Jianguo laughed and said, "You clearly like me, but you don't dare to express your feelings, yet you defend me everywhere. What's wrong with that?"
"Dad, times have changed. Feelings are the most complicated things."
Cao Pingzhi seemed to remember something, and finally said: "By the way, don't forget, it's Mom's birthday in a few days."
Cao Jianguo was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, I've already booked a hotel and notified your second and third uncles. Let's celebrate as a family. Don't tell her in advance. Give her a surprise. Buy me a birthday present and take her on a trip. She's always wanted to go to Dubai, right? Let her go this time. Ask your sister to come back and go with her."
"As long as you haven't forgotten it, it's fine." Cao Pingzhi said bitterly, "Actually, she is very easy to satisfy."
This topic was a bit heavy, and it was also what Cao Jianguo was most reluctant to talk about, so he changed the subject: "If Xiaoying doesn't go, then you can only go to Bazhong."
"I'll go?"
Cao Pingzhi frowned: "Will it help if I go?"
"Do your best. First of all, we should try to get the agency contract for the new drug in advance. If they have any demands, as long as they are not excessive, don't insist. Satisfy them and renew the agency rights first." Cao Jianguo said seriously.
Cao Pingzhi said, "What if they don't give us the exclusive national agency?"
"That means they will divide the domestic market into several major regions. So we have to settle for the next best thing and get the best regional agent. This is also within my expectations. After all, it has been almost a year since the Shenlong Group developed to this day, and its scale has expanded N times. Fortunately, their sales network has not yet been established." Cao Jianguo said.
Cao Pingzhi said: "I understand. No matter what, we must sign a contract, even if it's just for regional agency."
"Yes."
"Dad, are we going to turn against them? Is it really worth it for us to do this? Is it too risky?" Cao Pingzhi was a little worried.
Cao Jianguo's eyes gleamed. "Risks and opportunities coexist. Without taking risks, our Cao family will have no chance to rise. The four great families of Jiangnan may sound very famous, but how many people would buy into their reputations in Yanjing or Tianhai? This is the old man's lifelong wish!"
Cao Pingzhi nodded: "At this point, it seems we can't regret it anymore, so let's give it a try."
"By the way, according to reliable information, Shenlong Group has invested nearly 40 billion yuan and won the Bawan Expressway project. You can go and talk to them and see if we can get a share of the pie!" Cao Jianguo reminded.
Cao Pingzhi said: "Okay, I will do my best. When will you go?"
"tomorrow."
Cao Jianguo thought for a moment and then said, "I hope everything goes well. Otherwise, when you come back, you will have to meet that mysterious Mr. Xiao."
Cao Pingzhi nodded heavily.
…
Shenlong Group.
Cao Pingzhi parked the car and walked into the hall alone.
He took a look and saw that there were many people in the hall. He felt that the Shenlong Group was developing too rapidly, and there were too many people who wanted to cooperate with it.
Arriving at the front desk, Cao Pingzhi politely said to the receptionist, "Hello, my name is Cao Pingzhi, I'm from the Cao Group, and I'd like to meet Mr. Tang."
The Cao Group and the company are strategic partners and enjoy privileges. People who come to the Cao Group generally do not have to wait in line or make an appointment.
But today, the receptionist's attitude was different from before. She politely nodded to Cao Pingzhi and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll make a call first."
After the call, the receptionist said, "Mr. Cao, please wait a moment. Mr. Tang is very busy right now, but he has asked his secretary to pick you up. Please sit on the sofa over there for a while."
Cao Pingzhi frowned slightly.
It seems like something is not going well.
However, he still went to sit aside. A moment later, a beautiful girl appeared in front of him.
Lu Mengxi extended her hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Cao, my name is Lu Mengxi. Mr. Tang asked me to pick you up."
"Hello, Miss Lu." Cao Pingzhi was a little surprised. He stood up and shook hands with Lu Mengxi.
After entering the elevator, Lu Mengxi smiled at Cao Pingzhi: "I've heard of Mr. Cao's name for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome."
Cao Ping was stunned: "Have you heard of me?"
"Grandpa Cao has three sons. Your father is in business, your second uncle is in politics, and your third uncle has been in the army, right?"
"It seems that Miss Lu knows our Cao family very well."
"certainly."
Lu Mengxi said, "Over the years, you and Miss Cao Ying have made great contributions to the development of the company. This is also the reason why the Cao Group has always been able to prevail among the four major families. Therefore, I personally admire Mr. Cao very much and hope that we can become friends privately in the future."
Cao Pingzhi was delighted. He was already married, and his wife was pretty and capable, but Lu Mengxi still made his heart beat fast.
He took out his business card and handed it to Lu Mengxi: "If you have time, call me."
"Thank you, I will." Lu Mengxi took the business card, put it away, and smiled at Cao Pingzhi.
This smile is very charming.
Cao Pingzhi still had some doubts in his mind.
This was definitely the first time he met Lu Mengxi, but the latter's attitude was somewhat ambiguous, and she seemed to know him particularly well.
Why is all this happening?
He couldn't figure it out.
Lu Mengxi brought Cao Pingzhi to the conference room, made him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cao, you should take a rest first. I will go and ask Mr. Tang for instructions."
"Thank you, Miss Lu."
Lu Mengxi smiled charmingly: "Privately, you can just call me Mengxi."
"Thank you, Mengxi." Cao Pingzhi said with a smile.
Lu Mengxi returned to the office and said to Tang Xiaobao, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Cao has been brought to the conference room."
Tang Xiaobao said without even raising his head: "Let Mr. Shen go and receive them."
"Is Mr. Shen going?" Lu Mengxi was stunned.
Tang Xiaobao looked up: "Is there any problem?"
"No problem." Lu Mengxi said quickly.
