A young man fresh out of school, just starting out in business, is about to step into the food industry; he's certainly young and ambitious.
But because Zhou Yongming acted as a go-between, he didn't say anything.
Moreover, one has to save face.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip to see this young man who was only about twenty years old.
When the two met for the first time, they both smiled knowingly at each other.
After shaking hands, Jiang Sheng smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I've always heard my uncle say that Director Sun is a man of great courage and has no prejudice against others. Meeting him today, I can confirm that's true."
Sun Dingguo could naturally understand the implied meaning in the words.
Looking at the well-mannered young man in front of him, the slight disdain in Sun Dingguo's eyes faded considerably.
“If he didn’t have some ability, I don’t think President Zhou would have introduced Mr. Jiang to me.”
As they exchanged words, each harbored their own thoughts.
Beside him, Zhou Yongming stepped forward with a smile.
"Now that we've met, let's..."
He had only said half of what he was saying when Zhou Yongming seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Look at me, I was so busy talking to you guys that I forgot why Lao Gao hasn't arrived yet."
Gao Hongtao is a mutual friend of theirs, and today's event was also orchestrated by Gao Hongtao, so naturally he had to be present.
Upon hearing this, Sun Dingguo smiled and explained, "Old Gao was delayed by something. He'll meet us at the restaurant in half an hour."
“I see,” Zhou Yongming nodded. “Then let’s go to the hotel first.”
Then, the group got into the car.
Before long, they arrived at Xinghualou, one of the best restaurants in Yanjing.
Zhou Yongming had booked a private room in advance. The three of them went to a window room on the third floor and took their seats.
Zhao Defu came here today just to freeload a meal; he didn't get a chance to speak at all.
Watching the adults talk, he whispered in Jiang Sheng's ear.
"Brother Sheng, I suddenly have an idea of who to ask for information?"
Jiang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the guy was bringing up what happened that morning, and replied in a low voice.
"who?"
Zhao Defu said, "Zhang Chenggang, you've met him before."
Putting aside the fact that Zhang Chenggang is a good person, Jiang Sheng also had some thoughts about Zhang Chenggang when he mentioned him.
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about him,” Jiang Sheng said, taking a sip of water. “Then you should talk to him first and ask him to help you out. I’ll treat you to barbecue later.”
Zhao Defu nodded and assured Jiang Sheng.
"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yongming smiled and looked at the two of them.
"What are you two whispering about?"
Jiang Sheng smiled sheepishly.
"We were discussing things after the start of the school term, and we interrupted Uncle and Mr. Sun's conversation."
“We didn’t talk about business,” Sun Dingguo said, looking at the boy in front of him. “Your uncle and I haven’t seen each other for a while. We were catching up, and he mentioned that you are doing very well in your studies. So I have a question I’d like to ask you.”
Jiang Sheng nodded: "Please go ahead, Mr. Sun."
"With your excellent grades, you should be able to get a good job after graduation if you just focus on your studies."
Sun Dingguo asked curiously, "Doing business is a viable path now, but since you can make yourself better through education, why put the cart before the horse?"
"Mr. Sun, you flatter me. In my opinion, this is not putting the cart before the horse," Jiang Sheng explained with a faint smile.
"Oh, then tell me."
"The country is now strongly supporting private enterprises, and state-owned enterprises are also undergoing reforms to become private, which is naturally an excellent opportunity for businessmen."
"I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to share the burden with my family and take advantage of the country's reform and economic development policies to balance both."
Jiang Sheng spoke eloquently and fluently.
"He's definitely ambitious!"
Sun Dingguo laughed heartily, his face showing appreciation: "Old Zhou, our generation is getting old. In the future, the younger generation will take over!"
“Yes,” Zhou Yongming smiled, “That’s why I thought I should lend a helping hand whenever possible. We can’t let any talent go to waste.”
Sun Dingguo nodded, about to say something, when someone knocked on the door of the private room.
"It must be Lao Gao!"
Zhou Yongming smiled, stood up, and went to open the door.
Gao Hongtao was naturally standing outside the door.
"Sorry, I'm getting late."
Gao Hongtao had a smile on his face, but it seemed somewhat forced.
However, no one else noticed it, except for the perceptive Jiang Sheng who saw it at a glance.
