Logically speaking, given his son-in-law's personality, shouldn't he have arranged a restaurant, sat down with the other party, and chatted while eating and drinking?
Why did you end up at the bureau and start chatting with him?
"Don't even mention it, Dad, I was almost furious just now." As soon as Zhou Mingyuan mentioned it, Sheng Xiping remembered the weirdo he had just encountered.
So he told Zhou Mingyuan everything about his trip to the train station hotel, his encounter with that oddball who called himself General Manager Peng, and all his bizarre remarks.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan burst into laughter, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.
"Haha, I've seen plenty of people who say things that are hard to hear, but this is the first time I've heard of someone whose every word is unpleasant."
This is hilarious! What kind of people are these? Someone like that, and he calls himself a company general manager? Has his company gone bankrupt yet?
Sheng Xiping laughed along, "Of course! I had my doubts too."
Dad, you have no idea, he kept calling himself the "top leader," as if he was afraid people would doubt his power and status. I've never seen him act like that before.
Don't even mention his deputy section-level position. My uncle Zhao, he used to be the secretary of our bureau, a county-level cadre, the head of our bureau.
I've never seen Uncle Zhao act arrogantly, much less act like he's the boss to everyone. On the contrary, he's always been very kind to people.
"And then there are Uncle Xu and Uncle Yang, they're all county-level officials, but none of them talk about this all the time."
On the contrary, other people are always cheerful and polite to everyone, unlike him.
He kept referring to him as "General Peng" and "the top leader," making him seem like a national leader to anyone who didn't know him.
Sheng Xiping curled his lip, completely disapproving of Peng Dingcheng's behavior.
"Well, he's new here and afraid people will look down on him, so he's just bluffing." Zhou Mingyuan shook his head with a smile.
"He's been here for so long, wanting to buy timber, but he hasn't even been able to get into the bureau building. He must be feeling quite uncomfortable."
When I met you, I found out you were young and just an ordinary worker at the forest farm. I felt a little resentful, so I had to show off.
But you had to run into someone with such a fiery temper, refusing to tolerate him and just walking away. I bet he's totally dumbfounded right now.
Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Tch, I don't care if he's dumbfounded or not. Just don't let this guy get into my hands, or I'll make sure he's dead," Sheng Xiping sneered.
"Look at your temper! In business, harmony brings wealth. Why get angry with him? Just make a killing off him!"
Zhou Mingyuan has a good temper and is tactful and insightful in handling matters, which is one of the reasons why he was able to stand out from a group of deputy directors and be promoted.
"Okay, call the Zhanqian Hostel later and arrange for them to have dinner at our bureau's forestry hotel tonight."
Have your friend and that General Manager Peng go over there. I'll arrange for Guangning to go over later to give you back and put their minds at ease.
So that people won't think you're not capable and won't trust you to do business with them.
Zhao Guangning is the director of the timber business department. It's enough that he's there to support Sheng Xiping. Just like Peng Dingcheng said, it has to be fair and equal.
There's absolutely no need for Zhou Mingyuan to get involved as the general manager of a unit at the deputy section chief level.
Sheng Xiping thought about it and realized that made sense. Although that Peng guy was annoying, as long as money wasn't something to be ashamed of.
Since this guy has deliberately walked into our trap, we can't blame him for making a fortune.
"Okay, thank you, Dad. Now that this is done, I'll take good care of you."
"Get lost, stop talking nonsense. You should live a good life with Qinglan and raise our two grandsons to be successful. That's better than anything else."
Zhou Mingyuan laughed and cursed, then picked up the phone and called Zhao Guangning's office.
"Guangning, come to my office, I need to talk to you about something," Zhou Mingyuan said as the call connected.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhao Guangning arrived. As soon as he entered the director's office, he saw Sheng Xiping.
"Hey, Xiping, when did you arrive? It's been a while since I've seen you."
Your forest farm has once again achieved the highest output in the entire region this year. I heard that you're also this year's outstanding individual?
"Well, Uncle Zheng insisted on submitting it to me. Actually, whether it's advanced or not doesn't really matter. Anyway, I'm just doing my job and doing odd jobs everywhere."
Sheng Xiping stood up, shook hands with Zhao Guangning, and smiled.
These words made Zhou Mingyuan and Zhao Guangning laugh.
Zhou Mingyuan asked the two to sit down and talk, and then brought up the matter of arranging for the old timber customer from the south that evening.
"Guangning, I don't need to show my face in this matter. You go over there, support Xiping, and it would be best if you could give that guy a few words of advice."
"How can you do business on our turf and then look down on us?"
Who is Zhao Guangning? His father has been the top official in the bureau for many years, and he himself works in the bureau. He immediately understood what Zhou Mingyuan meant.
"Alright, Director Zhou, don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Thus, at Zhou Mingyuan's suggestion, Sheng Xiping called the Zhanqian Hotel and found Hou Yashuang.
Sheng Xiping told Hou Yashuang on the phone that he had arranged a place in the VIP room of Songlin Hotel that evening, and asked Hou Yashuang to bring Hou Mingliang, the man surnamed Peng, and the salesman there together.
"Brother, I'm only doing this because of you and Mingliang. If it were because of that Peng guy, I wouldn't bother with him at all."
You'd better tell him that there's a leader from the timber business office coming tonight, and tell him to watch his words.
"It doesn't matter if he offends me, but if he angers the leaders of the timber trading company, then he can forget about buying timber from me in the future." Sheng Xiping said casually.
