Chapter 148: This kind of person can't even get a wife in the village
Regarding the matter of personally demonstrating at the exchange meeting, Kang Bowen had indeed communicated with the organizer in advance and submitted an application.
However, up to now, the initiating party has not given a clear and affirmative response.
There is no doubt that it would be ideal if actual on-site drills could be conducted directly at this large-scale and highly anticipated exchange conference.
In this way, she could firmly grasp the absolute initiative and just wait for the major companies to start fierce bidding. All she had to do was to observe the prices offered by each company and finally select the right partner to sign the contract.
Such operation will reduce many twists and obstacles in the whole process!
But...but! Once these things in her hands are officially launched on the market, they will inevitably affect the interests of many relevant parties, even the organizers of this exchange meeting.
Because of this, she didn’t have much hope of being able to showcase her products at the conference. After all, if she was allowed to do so, she would have received a positive response.
You should know that she had entrusted this matter to Kang Bowen when she was in Hebei Province, asking him to help submit the application on her behalf.
However, ten days had passed in a flash, and the organizer had not yet given a clear and affirmative answer. Under such circumstances, Kang Bowen actively sought other ways and opportunities for her, and tonight's drinking party was obviously another way.
Just as she finished her words, Liu Yan on the side almost without thinking quickly played the emotional card, and was many times more enthusiastic than the coldness just now, "Oh, please don't do that! Look, Bowen and I have been friends for many years! Can you consider our Ruida first for Bowen's sake?"
Just now he was respectfully addressing him as Mr. Kang, but in the blink of an eye he was calling him by his name, Bowen, in a friendly manner.
But Rong Mei also thought it was normal. It was like she had just called him Mr. Liu. If she started chatting with someone, wouldn't she also call him Mr. Liu?
You know, this person has always been like this from ancient times to the present.
Speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts.
To put it bluntly, this is just a show.
In this vast sea of people, it is enough to have three or two close friends with whom you can truly confide in, and the rest of them, after all, are nothing more than pursuers of interests.
For Rong Mei right now, Kang Bowen is indeed suitable to be a close friend and business partner.
They are definitely not suitable to be rivals, and are least likely to be lovers.
Just like what Rong Mei and the others could think of, how could Liu Yan not think of it?
If Rong Mei really holds something as valuable as she claims, and shows it at that crucial exchange meeting, just close your eyes and imagine how great the competitive pressure Ruida will face at that time!
After all, the people present here today, on the surface, can flatter him in every way, talk with him freely about life ideals, and even drink and have fun, but who can guarantee that they will suddenly transform into his most powerful competitors tomorrow?
After an in-depth and detailed analysis, Liu Yan realized that the woman in front of him named Rong Mei was by no means a simple, naive person without any scheming.
On the contrary, if we have to describe her, she is more like a veteran who has been in the treacherous business world for many years and experienced many ups and downs.
The calmness and sophistication revealed in her every gesture, as well as the seemingly casual yet just-right responses when talking to people, are enough to prove this.
It seems that no matter how complex and difficult the situation is, he can always remain calm, quickly understand the key points, and deal with it skillfully.
Her hidden cunning and ease in dealing with things made Liu Yan be more cautious about her.
I resolutely decided not to play tricks on others and instead play the card of sincerity.
"I like to speak frankly. I think Bowen has done some research on me before. If Miss Rong really has such software, then the price is negotiable. You know, no company wants this thing more than our Reda. Other companies can wait and deliberately lower your price. Reda will also do that, but as the helmsman behind Reda, I won't."
Liu Yan revealed his trump card straight away, showing his sincerity and charm.
As they were talking, Dingge walked over with brisk steps, holding a glass of red wine with a rich aroma steadily in one hand.
There was a teasing smile on his face, which seemed to hide a hint of subtle cunning.
The bright eyes stared at Rong Mei, then turned to look at Liu Yan and asked, "Liu Yan, what are you talking about with this beautiful lady? You two look so happy talking."
After that, he gently shook the wine glass in his hand, leaving circles of tempting wine stains on the wall of the glass. The crimson liquid shone with a charming luster under the light. He handed it to Rong Mei and smiled at her, "My beautiful lady, would you please have a drink?"
Just now when Dingge was outside, he saw Rong Mei from afar. Seeing her graceful figure and bright makeup, he thought without hesitation that she was a new dancer in the dance hall.
At that time, his eyes unconsciously revealed an extremely contemptuous look, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned up with a hint of disdain and arrogance, as if in his mind, dancers were just low-level people who were provided for entertainment in this place of entertainment.
Now, he knew that Rong Mei was not a dancer in the ballroom, but a female companion brought by Kang Bowen. However, even so, he did not think too highly of her.
He still looked at Rong Mei with a frivolous look, as if he was examining an insignificant toy.
In his limited knowledge of this life, such beautiful women are, without exception, just vases.
They only have good looks, and most of them only rely on their beauty to cling to rich men, and eventually become a condiment in their lives.
In his opinion, this is just a transaction in which both parties get what they want. The woman is after the man's money, while the man is after his fleeting beauty and tenderness. It is a vulgar and boring combination.
Without even introducing himself, Ding Ge came over with the wine in his hand. He looked as if he was sure that Rong Mei would never refuse his toast and would respond to his actions obediently.
Rong Mei looked at him and indeed did not completely reject Ding Ge's toast.
She changed her mind and cleverly took a compromise approach.
The reason why she didn't completely refuse was that she didn't take the red wine from Dingge's hand.
She raised her delicate hand and picked up the white wine on the table as well as the wine glass she had just used to toast Liu Yan, and then filled her own glass.
With a slight smile on his face, he said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't drink red wine, only white wine. This glass is my toast to you..."
As she spoke, a trace of thought flashed across her lively eyes, and she paused slightly as she parted her red lips, as if she was carefully considering how to address the other person.
After all, before this, the two sides had never had any formal communication and introduction.
Seeing her hesitation, Ding Ge frowned on his confident face, as if he was afraid that Rong Mei would call him by the wrong name. He explained, "Ding Ge, Ding means "Ren Ding", and Ge means "Ping Ge".
The tone of voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, which sounded particularly clear in this noisy environment and attracted the attention of several people around.
"Mr. Ding, I've done it, you can do whatever you want."
After Rong Mei finished speaking, she raised her chin slightly and held her head high. The slender lines of her neck looked particularly graceful under the light.
Then, she flipped her wrist and drank another glass of white wine.
Although the wine glass is small and exquisite, it can't withstand such a bold drinking method. Even Ding Ge, who usually thinks he can drink well and is knowledgeable, was frightened by Rong Mei's behavior.
He stared at Rong Mei with eyes wide open in astonishment, thinking to himself that this was the first time he saw someone drinking white wine in this way.
That wine glass, which is almost two taels in weight, is neither big nor small.
Originally, two taels of liquor might not be a big deal for people who drink regularly, but the woman in front of him drank it all in one gulp as if it were water.
Not only that, after drinking, Rong Mei also gracefully poured the empty glass, and the few drops of remaining wine slid down the wall of the glass and gathered into a small pool at the bottom of the glass.
Her series of movements were natural and smooth, and then she signaled to Dingge that she had finished toasting.
Then, Rong Mei put down the cup and sat back calmly. Her eyes were as calm as water and she had no desire to talk to Ding Ge.
This instantly made Dingge furious, "Did I ask you to sit down? Did I ask you to drink the wine?!!!!"
He felt that Rong Mei was openly denying his face. In his mind, who was he? He was the second son of the Ding family, a well-known figure in Hong Kong City.
As the second son of the Ding family, the richest family in Hong Kong, his identity is much more important than Liu Yan's. He is usually flattered and treated like a star wherever he goes. He has never been treated so "coldly".
He came to Shenzhen, far away from Hong Kong, and some people with no vision could not recognize him. Ding Ge was secretly angry. In Hong Kong, he was the second son of the Ding family, known to everyone, and his status was extremely noble.
Although Liu Yan was excellent, handsome and talented, he was far behind him in terms of family status. You know, he was born to the first wife, while Liu Yan was born to the concubine. In the eyes of them who paid attention to family background, there was a world of difference.
Moreover, their Ding family is considered a prominent family in Hong Kong City. The family inheritance is orderly and the rules are strict. They do not follow Liu Xiong's practice of "favoring concubines and ignoring wives."
In the Ding family, a wife is a wife, with a stable and respected status, while a concubine is a concubine, with a lowly and restricted status. Although a concubine can enjoy everything in the family, she should not think of sharing a piece of the family property.
It is enough to just collect the living expenses obediently. If you try to get more, you will end up not even getting the living expenses.
In the Ding family's view, women from respectable and prestigious families who are well-educated, well-mannered and abide by the code of conduct for women are naturally worthy of respect. However, the Ding family has always looked down upon those women who rely on their charm to cling to men to climb to the top.
The Ding family would not marry actors. In their opinion, actors were in brothels and were in the spotlight, so their status was too low.
And the woman in front of him, Rong Mei, was just like an "actress" in Ding Ge's eyes. However, she did not give him, the second young master Ding, any face. She was so perfunctory with his toast and so cold afterwards. How could he not be furious? He felt a rage burning in his chest, which needed to be vented urgently.
Rong Mei felt a little annoyed. She really didn't want to pay attention to this spoiled second-generation rich kid who had never experienced any setbacks.
Dingge was only a little over 1.7 meters tall and had a fair complexion, but the aura he exuded clearly showed that of a dandy boy who grew up in a honeypot and was spoiled by everyone.
People like this have no real ability and can only shout and yell.
Rong Mei knew clearly that if she was alone and had nothing to worry about, she would be guilty of offending others. But now Kang Bowen still had to work hard in the business circles of Hong Kong City and Shenzhen, and she also planned to integrate into this circle.
She has always been aware that one cannot be stronger than another, and that in this complex web of interpersonal relationships, one must be able to judge the situation.
Moreover, as the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
With Dingge's looks and behavior, it's obvious that he's a vengeful person. The point is, people like him don't seem to have any character or integrity, and are even more difficult to mess with.
So, she was just about to grit her teeth and stand up, thinking that at most she could just drink another glass of red wine. It was just a glass of wine, so she could just consider it as a way to calm things down.
But at this moment, Liu Yan stood up before her, with a seemingly polite but unquestionable smile on his face, and said: "Okay, Mr. Ding, go over there and order whatever you want. No matter how many you order, it's all mine. Miss Rong is my guest now, and we have business to discuss. You can go and have fun for a while."
Ding Ge and Liu Yan stood together. They were about the same height, both over 1.7 meters tall.
In terms of appearance, they all have rather ordinary faces, not the type that catches the eye and is particularly handsome.
It can be said that if the two of them were to lose the halo of wealth and live in an ordinary village, it would not be easy for them to find a satisfactory wife with their ordinary looks.
Therefore, Rong Mei was not very envious about this.
At least when God created them, he closed a window for them.
Ding Ge sneered and pointed at Rong Mei, as if she was amused by his protective behavior, "No, Liu Yan, are you really interested in this dancer?!"
