Chapter 157 Why do you look familiar to me?
"I don't know. I haven't seen him yet. He will be here soon."
Li Baiwan looked at his watch and said: "It's almost time, I have to go over and take a look. If you want to see me, I will be responsible for receiving you in a while!" After saying that, he left the reception room.
Reception?
Tian Xin glanced at the time. It was just past 10 o'clock, so it was still early. She figured people would just have some tea and exchange pleasantries first.
Mr. Liu said last time that he liked "dates with walnuts", so it should still be in time to go back and get it.
She went back home again, bringing some "jujubes with walnuts" and dried persimmons. When she returned to the factory, the man hadn't shown up yet, and Li Baiwan didn't know where he was.
She arranged the food on a plate and added some fruits, tea and other things. She waited until 12 o'clock when the group from the cement factory finally arrived.
Tian Xin was waiting in the reception room, listening to the voices of several people approaching from afar. "Come on, come on, please take a seat!" Liu Shengli beckoned everyone in, with Li Baiwan accompanying them from behind.
A total of three people came to the cement factory, a young man in front and two middle-aged men behind him.
When Tian Xin saw someone coming, she hurriedly made tea to entertain him without looking carefully.
As soon as the young man sat down, he asked her, "Why do you look familiar to me? Have I seen you somewhere?"
"Huh?" She looked up.
Looks familiar? What's...what was his name?
"You are the one..."
"I'm Liu Xin!"
Liu Xin signed up before her.
"Liu Xin?" Tian Xin lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Oh, now I remember. I saw her last time in the ancient city. We had dinner together."
She handed the tea to a few people and stood aside to talk to Liu Xin.
This Liu Xin looks completely different from when I met her last year.
The time I met him, he had a fight with Zhang Shuai, and Zhang Shuai got hit on the head by him, but later on, for some reason, he insisted on being friends with Zhang Shuai.
Tian Xin had a bad first impression of him. Although he was dressed in a suit and looked very stylish, her behavior was something she could not agree with.
Now he seems to have matured a lot, even though he is not wearing a suit. But he is wearing a jacket, trousers and leather shoes, which makes him look like a mature man.
Seeing that they knew each other, Liu Shengli pulled Tian Xin over to sit down and said, "Xiao Tian, come and sit down too. Stop working!"
"You are Tian Xin who came with big brother last time!" Liu Xin asked.
"Yes!" Tian Xin smiled at him: "I didn't expect you still remember!"
"Where is my brother now? I haven't seen him for a long time!" Liu Xin looked outside the door.
"Oh, he...something happened and he's not at the factory right now."
"Something happened? Didn't my brother tell me?" Liu Xin took a sip of tea and looked out the door again.
"Is there anyone in our factory that Mr. Liu knows? Who is it?" Liu Shengli interrupted with a smile on his face.
Liu Xin glanced at him and ignored him.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him was a little embarrassed when they met, and nudged him with his arm: "Mr. Liu, would you like to discuss the details with Section Chief Liu? By the way..."
"Oh, right, right!" Liu Shengli had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. As soon as he heard the other party speak, he immediately agreed: "That's it. It's time for dinner now. Let's eat first and then show you around."
The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Xin and said, "Don't bother with that. We're all acquaintances. Chief Liu, please don't be so formal!"
"Hey, the meal is arranged. Let's eat first. After the meal, let Xiaotian take General Manager Liu around the factory and we can talk about the details." Seeing that Liu Xin seemed to dislike him, Liu Shengli pulled Tian Xin to block the knife.
Lunch was prepared in advance and served at the factory. Liu Shengli had specially hired a village chef who cooked for weddings and funerals. The meal was cooked to perfection: eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, four steamed dishes, and two pastries.
Tian Xin had originally planned to wait until everyone had finished eating before joining in; she had never been fond of joining such lively dinner parties. Today, all the attendees were older men, and it would have been inappropriate for her to sit inside.
But Liu Shengli insisted on not letting her go: "It's rare for Mr. Liu to come to our factory. You two happen to know each other. Young people have a lot in common. Sit down and have a good chat!"
The two of them were arranged to sit at the top seat. Tian Xin felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to move forward.
Liu Xin didn't mind and greeted her with a smile: "Come, sister, sit here, I just want to ask you something!"
sister?
Tian Xin was a bit taken aback by the word "sister". Liu Xin must be older than her, after all. She was a bit amused but couldn't let Liu Xin down, so she went over and sat down, pouring tea for everyone.
The food was served quickly, and Liu Shengli held up his glass of wine: "Come on, it's a rare honor for Mr. Liu and all of you to come to our factory today. We are old acquaintances, and I have always felt very sorry that we didn't cooperate last year. I hope that we can cooperate smoothly this year, and both of our companies can solve the current difficulties." Everyone stood up and clinked glasses.
Liu Xin finished his drink, put down his cup, and glanced at Liu Shengli: "Section Chief Liu, you were dishonest in what you did last year. Where does this regret come from?"
At first, this sounded like a joke, but Liu Xin's expression was off. Liu Shengli quickly stood up and said with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Liu, what are you talking about? Last year's incident was just a misunderstanding. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Liu Xin lowered her head and smiled, a fake smile on her face, and continued: "Let's not talk about it, okay. Then I think you should stop worrying about what happened today, otherwise I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll fall into your trap again, and that won't be good!"
These words were full of gunpowder, directly attacking Liu Shengli. After hearing this, Tian Xin was sweating in her heart.
Liu Xin is still the same Liu Xin. She will still confront people who make her unhappy in person without any regard for her face.
Liu Shengli's face nearly turned green after hearing these words. But since they might have to sign a contract today, he chuckled and said, "Mr. Liu, that's a serious point. However, I really can't handle this matter this year. Regarding cooperation with your factory, our factory director will discuss it with you personally today."
He laughed and tried to excuse himself: "I've just stepped back!"
Liu Xin sneered at him and ignored him. Instead, he raised his glass to Li Baiwan and said, "Come on, Mr. Li, let me toast you!"
Li Baiwan watched Liu Xin angrily confront Liu Shengli for a long time, feeling a bit angry. On his own turf, a young man was showing off his power. This guy looked like a useless idiot, spoiled by his father. He was nothing! Confronting Liu Shengli was like slapping him in the face, and it was hard to swallow.
But because Liu Xin was the guest today, he still clinked glasses with her: "Come on, Mr. Liu. Let's not talk about what happened last year..."
"Hey, Mr. Li, you've got the wrong idea," Liu Xin interrupted Li Baiwan. "How could I not mention it?"
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "You really need to carefully examine the person you're hiring! If someone is being deceived and doesn't even realize it, it'll be troublesome!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, looking at Li Baiwan with sharp eyes: "Don't you agree, Mr. Li?"
