Honglou in Chishui County is a high-class restaurant.
It is said that the project was jointly funded and built by several shareholders with strong backgrounds in the county.
It is quite popular among wealthy people in the county.
Tonight, Wu Changfeng drove to Honglou to attend a banquet hosted by County Chief Guo and Qiao Zihao.
Although I understood what County Chief Guo meant, I still had to give him face.
I ran into Zhao Jiahui right at the entrance after I got off the bus.
Zhao Jiahui was taken aback, then quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Boss Wu! What a coincidence! I was just about to treat everyone, is it too late to invite you now?"
Wu Changfeng waved his hand sheepishly, "Let's do it another day, we have important guests today."
"All right."
The two went inside, and Zhao Jiahui continued, "I'll treat you another day."
Wu Changfeng smiled but didn't say anything, then asked, "Are you short on funds? Why are you still spending money here?"
Zhao Jiahui chuckled: "Some money has to be spent. I'll treat one of the guys who reviews loans to a meal. I don't care if it's inconvenient in the future, just don't let it hold up my tricycle loan."
Wu Changfeng nodded and said, "Actually, there's no need for that. President Qiao will definitely make all the arrangements clearly. This was an order issued by the province."
Zhao Jiahui shook his head: "The leaders above are the leaders above, but they still have to rely on the people below to do things, right? Everything has to be smoothed out from top to bottom in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"After all, we're still betting against each other, so I can't just do nothing; I need to build my own network."
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Alright, you can do whatever you want with it. I'm going up now."
Zhao Jiahui nodded and watched Wu Changfeng go upstairs with a flattering expression.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead; dealing with big bosses was just too stressful!
Fortunately, the two sides are in a cooperative relationship. If one of them needed something from the other, given Wu Changfeng's overwhelming aura, he would definitely be too intimidated to move or open his mouth.
Fortunately, the most difficult thing for me is over. All that's left is to get the loan specialist on my side, and everything will fall into place.
After Wu Changfeng went upstairs, he suddenly remembered something and returned to the bar, lingering there for a few minutes.
Then they found the private room that Qiao Zihao had booked.
"Sorry I'm late."
Wu Changfeng entered the room and first expressed his apologies: "There are too many things to do at the company. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll punish myself with a drink first."
County Chief Guo laughed heartily: "No need for such formalities, we don't stand on ceremony, we've only been here a few minutes."
Qiao Zihao stood up and shook hands with Wu Changfeng: "Our meeting during the day was brief. It's not easy to see you alive again. I'm extremely grateful."
County Chief Guo tilted his head. What kind of talk is this?!
Although we met once during the day, our conversation was interrupted in just two minutes.
This meeting tonight can be considered our official "first meeting," right?
Don't you, Qiao Zihao, know the lesson that too much talk leads to mistakes?
Making jokes before the relationship is even established—doesn't that give off a frivolous vibe?
Wu Changfeng didn't mind. Perhaps he was too excited. His attendance at the banquet might have reassured Qiao Zihao.
County Chief Guo shrugged. "Look at what you're saying, why are you getting so worked up? Alright, sit down and let's talk."
After Wu Changfeng sat down, he turned to another young man present and asked, "And who is this?"
The young man stood up, shook hands, and said, "My surname is Yang, Yanghe."
Qiao Zihao said with a smile, "This is one of my younger brothers."
County Chief Guo nodded secretly; this Wu Changfeng is quite capable.
Asking about the identities of strangers at the table shows respect to everyone present.
Wu Changfeng was thinking that he needed to confirm the other party's identity in order to determine his manner of speaking and what taboos to avoid in the conversation.
What if this stranger is a relative of some high-ranking official?
How you say something depends on the person you're talking to.
As for Yang He being Qiao Zihao's younger brother, Wu Changfeng chuckled inwardly.
His true nature, like that of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world), was revealed.
Introducing someone like this at a business banquet where County Head Guo is present is beneath one's dignity.
This is not a gathering of friends, much less a meeting of sworn brothers.
Even if Qiao Zihao says Yang He is my assistant or my employee, it is far better than calling him "little brother".
Face is something that no one else can give you; it's something you always have to fight for and maintain yourself. With just a few words from Qiao Zihao, Wu Changfeng easily grasped the depth of Qiao Zihao's feelings.
After chatting and laughing for a while, the food and drinks were served. After several toasts, Qiao Zihao couldn't help but say:
"Boss Wu, I was in a hurry when I came to your place during the day, and there were some things I didn't explain to you."
Wu Changfeng stretched out his hand: "I know a little bit about it."
Qiao Zihao said with a smile, "That's good. I had no other choice but to ask County Chief Guo to act as a go-between. We are both local businesses, so we should take care of each other."
"I won't say more, but my rubber factory is in dire straits. You have to help me out and buy more tires from our factory."
"It doesn't matter which factory you use, right? Tires aren't that technically demanding. Why let the profits go to outsiders? Aren't you Boss Wu?"
Wu Changfeng paused, leaned back in his chair, and looked at County Chief Guo: "Ah...no problem, no problem, no problem."
"Business is all about continuous cooperation."
"Today, County Chief Guo has brought us all together and introduced us to each other. From now on, let's cooperate as much as possible, and I believe we can achieve a good result."
Qiao Zihao was overjoyed. He stood up, walked to Wu Changfeng's side, shook his hand directly, and shook him vigorously: "Wow! Boss Wu is so generous and has such a broad vision. I'm definitely going to be friends with you!"
Then, Qiao Zihao waved to Yang He: "Go, pay the bill, pay the bill!"
