So Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng split up into two groups. Wu Yucheng led his team back to Guangzhou, while Sheng Xiping led his team to Shanghai to submit the project as soon as possible.
The furniture factory has a branch in Shanghai, and since Sheng Xiping was coming, they sent a car to pick him up from the airport.
Seeing Sheng Xiping talking to Sheng Yunfang, the person who came to pick them up didn't want to disturb them, so they spoke up at this moment.
"Okay, let's go." Just then, the accompanying assistant and bodyguards brought over the luggage, and the group left the airport and took a car to their accommodation.
This was Jiang Yanbin's first time meeting his future brother-in-law, so he definitely had to make a good impression. After Sheng Xiping settled into his accommodation, Jiang Yanbin said he would treat everyone to a meal.
"Let Xiao Zhang and the others go out to eat by themselves. The three of us will have a meal together."
Several people came with Sheng Xiping, so how could Sheng Xiping let Jiang Yanbin spend money?
And so, Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin accompanied Sheng Xiping to a restaurant with local specialties.
From the moment Sheng Xiping learned that his fourth sister had a boyfriend, he began to inquire about Jiang Yanbin and the Jiang family, both openly and secretly.
Jiang Yanbin's father was the workshop director of Shencheng Steel Plant, and his mother was an accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative. Both of them had jobs.
Jiang Yanbin has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married. Jiang Yanbin is the youngest child in the family, and his parents doted on him. He also lived up to their expectations and was admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Jiang Yanbin comes from a well-off family, is good-looking, and has a good job. Overall, he and Sheng Yunfang are quite a good match.
After getting to know Jiang Yanbin, Sheng Xiping felt that the young man's speech and behavior were acceptable.
Of course, it's also possible that they're just putting on an act since they've just met; we'll have to keep observing them.
After a while, the food was served, and Sheng Xiping deliberately ordered two bottles of wine and dragged Jiang Yanbin to drink some.
The two drank and chatted, and before they knew it, they had drunk quite a bit. Jiang Yanbin's alcohol tolerance was average, and soon his face turned red and his tongue became stiff.
Sheng Yunfang stopped him from drinking anymore, and Sheng Xiping didn't force him to drink any more; he stopped when he had just had enough.
Jiang Yanbin has been working in Shanghai for two or three years. He initially lived in a dormitory, but after he started dating Sheng Yunfang, he rented a room to live in by himself.
Jiang Yanbin was drunk at this moment, so Sheng Xiping and Sheng Yunfang took a taxi and sent him home.
It's alright. Jiang Yanbin doesn't cause trouble when he's drunk, unlike some people who either cry, make a scene, or curse when they're drunk.
The kid was quite quiet the whole way, and even after returning home, he remembered to invite Sheng Xiping and the others to sit down.
"Xiao Jiang, it's getting late. You should rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow. I can stay here for a few days. Let's get together again when we have time."
Sheng Xiping and his sister sat with Jiang Yanbin for a while. Seeing that Jiang Yanbin was not acting strangely, they were relieved and then said goodbye and left.
"Brother, did you deliberately let him drink too much?" After leaving Jiang Yanbin's house, Sheng Yunfang turned to ask Sheng Xiping.
"You noticed? Heh, that's right, it was intentional." Sheng Xiping admitted directly.
"Xiao Jiang seems alright, I just wanted to test him out."
Let me tell you, stay as far away from people who get drunk and act out, especially those with violent tendencies after a few drinks. No matter how good their circumstances are, never marry them.
"Sure enough, eating salt for a few more years makes a difference. How come I never thought of that?"
Sheng Yunfang suddenly realized what her brother had meant. "So, what about now? Has he passed the test?"
Overall it's alright, but we need to observe it further.
No one is perfect. As long as one's character is generally sound, everything else is manageable.
For Sheng Xiping, the most important thing when his sister chooses a partner is character. As long as the character is good, wealth or poverty is secondary.
With Sheng Xiping around, he certainly wouldn't let his sister live a hard life.
On his second day in Shanghai, Sheng Xiping went directly to the relevant department head.
When he was in the capital, Sheng Xiping visited several leaders, including Elder Yang, and through their connections, he also dined with many other leaders.
Before coming to Shanghai, Sheng Xiping showed the project to some leaders.
The Capital Supermarket project was very successful, and relevant leaders affirmed it, having already informed the Shanghai authorities beforehand.
So when Sheng Xiping came here on business, no one made things difficult for him.
The super mall project was successfully negotiated, but the investment is much larger than that in the capital.
"Brother, thank goodness you acted quickly and have already signed the contract. I heard that several other companies have come to discuss the super mall project in the past few days."
The project was finalized, the contract was signed, the land was selected, the payment was transferred to the designated account, and even the construction company was found. We're just waiting to start construction after the New Year.
That evening, Sheng Xiping invited everyone to dinner, including Jiang Yanbin and Sheng Yunfang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Jiang Yanbin said with a look of relief.
Sheng Xiping smiled upon hearing this. He had already guessed that someone would follow suit, which was why he was in such a hurry to come to Shanghai.
"Yes, I just contacted Lao Wu's family. It was pretty close in Guangzhou too; they almost got robbed by someone else."
The Wu family has deep connections in Guangzhou, and Wu Yucheng secured the project as soon as he arrived there.
The business world is like a battlefield, it's no joke. One wrong move and someone else can easily take the lead.
"Everyone has worked hard lately. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the shopping mall project will start after the New Year. Next year will be even busier."
But I assure you all, your efforts will definitely be rewarded accordingly, and you will absolutely not be treated unfairly.
After the food and drinks were served, Sheng Xiping raised his glass to toast the furniture store employees and their assistants who had come with him.
"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Sheng, you're too kind. We're honored to work at your company, no matter how busy we are."
