The two drove back to the city from the airport, and it was already noon.
The car stopped in an open space near the alley.
The temperature in the city is higher than in the suburbs, and the snow on the ground has long since melted.
Even the hottest winter sun feels cool and insubstantial when it shines on you.
The sound of clanging and banging came from the alley.
"Fumingxuan?" Lin Ziyan saw a wooden plaque as soon as she entered the alley.
Lanterns and wind chimes hung on either side of the entrance, swaying in the wind.
"This is a long-established restaurant that has recently been renovated. The private rooms inside are antique and there is also a tea room."
"They should all be driving today, and they just met here for tea and a meal," Lu Yunshen briefly introduced the old shop.
Upon entering the store, there is a feng shui arrangement at the entrance, with the constant sound of flowing water and several fish swimming in the water.
Stepping inside, you enter a corridor, simple and elegant, with a wonderful atmosphere.
"Brother Shen, you've finally arrived." Yang Yanzhou walked out of the private room and waved to them.
Lu Yunshen held Lin Ziyan's hand and walked towards the private room.
The waiter is bringing the dishes over.
A wooden round table was already filled with dishes of various flavors, which looked very appetizing.
"Yun Shen, you two come and sit here." Xiao Jin pulled out two chairs next to her, gesturing for them to sit down.
Everyone else's eyes were on Lin Ziyan, but they didn't dare to stare and quickly looked away.
"Yun Shen, introduce yourself to us," one of the men with a buzz cut said with a smile.
"My girlfriend, Lin Ziyan."
"This is Nie Lei, Qi Wei, and you already know the other three," Lu Yunshen introduced to Lin Ziyan.
Zhang Xuefeng was among those who came, but he wasn't introduced at all.
Lin Ziyan nodded to them, "Hello, nice to meet you."
"Brother Shen, why don't you formally introduce me?" Zhang Xuefeng said, displeased.
Lu Yun Shen gave him a half-smile; he hadn't settled accounts with him for the contract issue yet.
He only signed the contract in person. Did he really think he couldn't tell?
"Comrade Lin, I am Zhang Xuefeng." He felt a little guilty and dared not meet his friend's eyes.
"Hello, Manager Zhang." Lin Ziyan tugged at Lu Yunshen's sleeve.
She was a little nervous meeting Lu Yunshen's friend for the first time.
"Eat your food and ignore him," Lu Yunshen said bluntly, completely ignoring Zhang Xuefeng.
He made Lin Ziyan a small bowl of chicken soup and also put a lot of vegetables on her plate.
Nie Lei and Qi Wei exchanged a glance, their eyes full of interest.
When have they ever seen Yun Shen serve anyone?
"Brother Lei, I wasn't exaggerating, was I?" Yang Yanzhou said softly.
Nie Lei hadn't said anything, but reached out and patted his shoulder, "Why don't you repeat what you just said?"
Qi Wei picked up his teacup, pretending not to see Yang Yanzhou's pleading eyes.
Lu Yunshen ignored their commotion and continued to serve food to Lin Ziyan.
They chatted casually for a while, occasionally clinking glasses, but neither of them drank alcohol.
Lin Ziyan sat to the side listening and learned that Nie Lei was a pilot and Qi Wei was a soldier.
So they asked Nie Lei to buy their plane tickets?
She sipped her tea slowly, enjoying its delicate aroma.
"Yun Shen, is there any problem with your shipping company's lawsuit? Do you need me to find someone to help you?" Nie Lei asked.
Xiao Jin also looked at Lu Yun Shen, her eyes questioning.
He only learned after returning to Beijing that Maiwei had taken a hard line and refused to settle.
This time, they even publicly addressed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was particularly arrogant.
"Do you think Maiwei can screw me over?" Lu Yunshen laughed.
I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need your help for the time being.
He wasn't being polite; he genuinely didn't need it.
Nie Lei was indeed helpful; his family had several international lawyers.
“We own too many shares in the shipping company. Why don’t you reduce your stake a bit?” Qi Wei said calmly.
Nie Lei chimed in, "Yes, Yun Shen, we were all shocked when we saw the dividends."
Lu Yunshen said, "According to the original ratio, you invested capital, and it's impossible to squeeze you out after making money."
Only then did he realize their true intention in organizing the gathering.
Shipping companies do indeed offer substantial dividends, which attracts a lot of envious people.
By utilizing the connections of both the Nie and Qi families, a lot of trouble was avoided.
"Stop arguing, you two. I already said that Brother Shen won't agree," Yang Yanzhou stopped the two from continuing to persuade him.
When they first started working together, Lu Yunshen signed contracts with them to avoid damaging their relationships.
Nie Lei didn't say anything more, poured himself a cup of tea and clinked glasses with Lu Yun Shen.
Qi Yuan joined them, toasting them with tea instead of wine.
They didn't shy away from Lin Ziyan, clearly indicating that they already considered her one of their own.
Zhang Xuefeng glanced at Lin Ziyan and thought to himself, "There's a shrewd person sitting next to Brother Shen."
Thanks to Lin Ziyan's promotion last time, the fresh produce section is bustling every day, and sales are soaring.
He really wanted to ask Lin Ziyan if she had any other promotional methods to help promote other products.
…
At this moment, in another private room,
Chen Niaoshu was having dinner with her brother Chen Yi.
She's going back to Germany in a couple of days, so this meal was a farewell.
"Shushu, what do you think about the future development of Guangzhou Port?" Chen Yi asked casually.
My sister didn't study economics, but her major in ship design is somewhat related to ports.
He knew that Lu Yunshen's shipping company made a lot of money, and the taxes it paid alone were astronomical.
"Brother, you're not going into politics anymore?" Chen Niaoshu asked, frowning.
Chen Yi: "My family is all in politics, wouldn't it be better if I pursued other avenues?"
