Chapter 4 (1/2)
When lishuo returned to the restaurant, his mother said unexpectedly, ”so soon? What about Jinxin
”He came back when it was a little cold outside. He went to the bathroom.”
”It's a little cold at night. When the weather is fine, we will have dinner by the lake.” Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, ”Li Shuo, I hope you can walk with Jin Xin more in the future. I don't like him spending all day with some friends of the same age. They often play some dangerous extreme sports, such as the sports you play are healthy and safe, and you are also stable. Jin Xin Jing often contacts with you and will learn a lot.”
”Thank you, auntie. I'm just a few years older than Jin Xinxu. I may not be able to teach him anything, but if my life experience can help him, of course, I'd like to.”
Li Shuo's suit, dress and shoes are elegant, and his every move is pure and natural elegance. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help sighing: ”lishuo is a perfect child. How many girls like it? Do you have a girlfriend?”
”Ah Not yet. ” Mrs. Li pulled her hair uneasily. Although they accepted their son's sex -- Xiang, the Chinese people are conservative. After all, this is not a particularly glorious thing, and they don't want too many people to know.
Li Shuo said with a smile: ”I have a boyfriend.”
Everyone froze at this remark..
Li Shuo has always been decent in his words and deeds. He didn't express his hobbies everywhere. He just wanted to take the opportunity to convey a message to the Zhao family: advise your son to stay away from me.
Mr. Li took an incredible look at Li Shuo and couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Zhao Rongtian first returned to the gods and said: ”I'm sorry Oh, oh, well, young people have their own choices. ”
Mrs. Zhao smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Lishuo raised his glass to them and sipped the wine calmly.
After a while, Zhao Jinxin came back and said as soon as he was seated, ”is elder brother free tomorrow? Let's play tennis. ”
Lishuo smiled and stretched out his arm: ”I just played with my father this morning, but I haven't played for a long time, but I've strained my muscle. Next time.” He glanced at the Zhao's and his wife's expression, obviously relieved.
Zhao Rongtian coughs lightly: ”what tennis do we play? Tomorrow we will go to the company to talk about things.”
”Oh.” Zhao Jinxin seems to remember, ”I'll see you tomorrow.” He took out his cell phone. ”Brother, please leave me a call.” When he said the word ”telephone”, he showed an ambiguous smile that only Li Shuo could understand.
Li Shuo quietly took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, pushed it gently, and it slipped over the dining table. He looked at Zhao Jinxin with a smile.
As soon as Zhao Jinxin picked up the phone, he saw the blacklist page. He smiled and liberated his number. Then he pushed back his mobile phone: ”please take care of me later.”
”You're welcome.”
After dinner, the family of three left.
As soon as he got back to the car, Mr. Li said unhappily, ”what are you doing in front of them?”
Li Shuo said calmly, ”Zhao Jinxin is not suitable for working together and will cause me trouble. It's better for his parents to keep him away from me.”
Mr. Li didn't speak, just sighed heavily.
Mrs. Li advised: ”my son is not a random person. Jinxin's child is spoiled since he was a child, and may not be suitable for working together.”
”Ah, yes, I heard that the child is a playboy. I don't know if he has any real ability. Xiao Shuo, I won't force you to do anything. You can make it yourself.”
Li Shuo put his arms around his father's shoulders and shook them. He said with a gentle smile, ”thank you, Dad.”
The next morning, Li's father and son went to the headquarters of ennan group, and the front desk invited them to the conference room, where there were not only Zhao Rongtian and Zhao Jinxin, but also two executives and secretaries.
As soon as they entered the meeting room, everyone stood up except chairman Zhao Rongtian.
Li Shuo is the first time to see Zhao Jinxin in formal dress. He is half taller than the portly foreigner around him. He is dressed in an iron gray three piece suit and tie of the same color, which makes his waist thin and legs long and neat. It seems that he can shoot fashion blockbusters as soon as he turns around. Li Shuo couldn't help thinking about how the dress was wrapped in a perfect pair of meat - body - after all, he had seen it.
Several people exchanged greetings. Zhao Jinxin took the initiative to open the chair for Li's father and son: ”please sit down Uncle Li, please sit down elder brother.”
Li Shuo thought to himself, with Zhao Jinxin's serious appearance, who could imagine that he would just meet him and ask for a gun, and send half naked photos to strange men?
If he didn't already have Li Chengxiu, he really wanted to go to Zhao Jinxin's apartment and ”have a look”.
Zhao Rongtian changed yesterday's cordiality and was the model of the leader of the group. He first introduced two senior executives, one is his director of strategic development, the other is the financial director who will be sent to China. Then he briefly stated his ideas on developing North trade. What he hoped lishuo would do was to provide local policy, tax consultation, and audit cooperation.
After he finished speaking, Zhao Jinxin opened the PPT and began to elaborate their plans. Now the company is still in the recruitment stage, even the organizational framework has not been completed, but the company's long-term development seems to be fully understood by Zhao's father and son, which has been considered for several years.If this is a small company, Li Shuo will think that they are ambitious and boastful, but an office building as big as ennan is here, and his evaluation - as his father said - Zhao Rongtian is a visionary.
Zhao Jinxin's ability has also changed the Li family's father and son. Several problems have been deeply rooted, which is not the experience of a fresh graduate student. In fact, during the hours of talking on the plane, Li Shuo knew that this man was not the second generation of the rich.
After talking about this morning, Li Shuo is very interested in this cooperation, which not only brings considerable benefits to his firm, but also cooperates with ennan group. Whether it is for him or for the firm's reputation in the industry, there will be a leap forward.
It's too wasteful to push off such an opportunity just because of personal affairs. Moreover, he has no reason to be afraid of Zhao Jinxin's ”harassment”. He should believe in his own principles and determination.
After the meeting, Zhao Rongtian has other things to do. Let Zhao Jinxin take Li Shuo around the company and invite him to have lunch at noon.
Out of the office, Zhao Jinxin took Li Shuo to visit the functional areas of the headquarters of ennan group. This office building is located in midtown Manhattan, only two blocks from Rockefeller Center. The land price is terrifying. Ennan group occupies four floors, and other floors are rented out.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if Zhao Jinxin looks more conservative, as long as he carries out such a family, there will be countless people for him. It's a pity that material is not so attractive to Li Shuo. After all, he doesn't lack anything. He works because he enjoys the sense of achievement brought by work, not because of money.
The office is full of employees. Zhao Jinxin behaves gracefully and decently. But as soon as he goes to the coffee room where no one is, he shows his true appearance and suddenly reaches Li Shuo's ear and breathes: ”do you think I look good in a suit? You've been staring at me. ”
Li Shuo took a step back and said with a smile, ”appreciating beauty is everyone's inborn ability.”
”Well said.” Zhao Jinxin reached out his hand and lightly dusted Li Shuo's tie, revealing a deep smile.
Li Shuo looked at his watch and said, ”I don't need your time at noon. I just made an appointment with my friend.”
”A friend? Why don't we call for dinner, it's my treat. ”
”Not very convenient. Next time.”
Zhao Jinxin shrugged: ”OK, I'll take you downstairs.”
