Chapter 251 Taking over the Connections (2/2)

Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, “I know what you mean. I wonder, how capable am I that I deserve your loyalty? So I can only reward you with my promise. Putting it in simple terms, as long as I become more and more amazing, you will also be the same. As long as you treat me with your sincerity, I won’t treat you shabbily.”

After saying that, Qin Sheng took the tea cup. “I don’t drink alcohol today. I respect everyone with tea and wine. I wish we get better and better. I wish we can all make a difference in Hangzhou. Let’s drink.”

Instead of being boastful, Qin Sheng was pretty sincere when he said the previous words. In that society, if you wanted to achieve success, you would need a group of like-minded people by your side to take care of you. Speaking of the ones striving alone to achieve success, after all, there were few.

They ate dishes as well as chatted with each other. Qin Sheng was discussing with all of them about the work progress in the subsidiaries and the issues arising in every subsidiary. They chatted randomly. After all, it was not a formal occasion.

They ended the lunch before two o’clock. All went back to the company and started their work. Ms. An had the heaviest responsibility. She needed to coordinate everything. Fortunately, there were always some people available under her charge, that could help her shoulder the responsibility. She did not need to worry about the detailed execution issues.

In the afternoon, Qin Sheng went to visit Jiuxi Rose Garden first. Cao Da had asked several friends of his out that night, who were all pretty close to him. He specifically took Qin Sheng there. He was doing so to fulfill what he had once promised to Qin Sheng. He intended to let Qin Sheng start taking over his connections. After all, he did not bother to take advantage of some connections at the moment. Only after he handed those connections over to Qin Sheng could they be fully utilized.

The place for dinner was one of Cao Da’s houses in the Hu Pao Spring region, which was cleaned up specifically by the employees. It was also the first time Qin Sheng had heard of that location. After all, they should pay attention to social conduct in current times. As for the restaurant, high-end club or whatever, of course, they could not go there. Nobody could be picky about a family dinner. Cao Da sent Qin Sheng there first to check on the whole situation and see how the preparation progressing. It was not until nightfall that he showed up.

Those people were all heads and leaders in the city. The most inferior of them was even at the level of Director. Among them, of course, Qin Sheng was the most inferior one. Due to Cao Da’s influence, they did not treat him as an outsider. However, Cao Da spoke pretty highly of Qin Sheng. He directly told the people present that Qin Sheng was his successor, whom he had personally chosen. In that case, nobody dared to make light of Qin Sheng. But Qin Sheng knew how to put himself in the right position. Though he felt somewhat tired, he talked and behaved sensibly and flexibly, which was a basic skill to hang around in that circle.

Since Cao Da was in bad condition, he drank less. Qin Sheng took the initiative to help him drink the wine offered from others and toasted with each leader. Unconsciously, he had drunk up a liter and a half of spirits. Since those leaders had been hanging around in different dinner parties and wine parties every day, they were all good at drinking. Qin Sheng had no choice but to throw in his lot with them.

At 11 o’clock, that dinner party had finally ended. Qin Sheng accompanied Cao Da to see all the leaders off. It was not until sending everyone off that they left. Cao Da asked Qin Sheng to go home together with him, saying his driver Lao Li would drive him home at that time. Qin Sheng thought it was too troublesome and refused Cao Da’s suggestion subtly. He directly ordered a taxi and went home.

Originally, he had planned to hang around in Yun Ding that night. After all, ever since he had become the vice president of the group, taking over the subsidiaries, he had yet to talk with Song Wei in a formal way. Song Wei must feel uncomfortable about that. Everyone knew Qin Sheng was a highly favored person by Cao Da’s side; even Lao Zhou was left aside. Though Yun Ding was assigned to be under Qin Sheng’s charge, Qin Sheng had not even visited there once. What would that group of people in Yun Ding think?

After he arrived in the Golden Coast residential quarter, he was not anxious to get in. While sitting at the entrance of the residential quarter, he held a bottle of water in his hands as he vomited. He was a complete mess. After he had been sitting by the roadside for approximately half an hour and he had recovered from the wine, he stood up and went home.

Previously, Qin Sheng did not know why many people would get drunk, get completely drunk, and unconscious. Moreover, some even slept by the roadside for the whole night. It was in later days that he finally figured it out. Except for the drunkards, who drank simply for wine, and those ones, who were contending with their drinking capacity in a wine party, to most people, in order to make a living, they had no choice but to drink. Though they all knew they would feel lousy if they were drunk, they had no choice but to drink.

Originally, Qin Sheng had thought both Xin Xin and Lin Su had fallen asleep. After he opened the door, he saw them watching TV in the living room. He smiled sulkily as he said, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet? Aren’t you tired after a whole days’ visiting?”

“Did you drink?” Lin Su smelled a burst of pungent odor instantly. Moreover, the look on Qin Sheng’s face was ghastly. He even walked a bit shakingly.

Qin Sheng smiled bitterly as he said, “Uncle Cao introduced me to some leaders in the city, who are all the connections he has made in the past years. I had no choice but to drink with them.”

“Take a seat. I will brew some tea for you,” Lin Su said, as she hurriedly stood up. She did not complain nor grumble at all.

Qin Sheng felt warm-hearted in secret. However drunk he was, however late he came home, he knew there would always be someone waiting for him at home. They would be concerned about him and they would take care of him. That was what motivated him to move forward. Whatever it took, it was worth it.

“Brother. You should drink less in later days. You need to take your health seriously,” Xin Xin said, as she hurriedly poured a cup of water for Qin Sheng.

While stroking Xin Xin’s hair, Qin Sheng said, “Silly girl. You know you should feel sorry for your brother now, right? If so, don’t anger me in later days. Who am I doing all these things for? I am doing this to save a dowry for you.”

What Qin Sheng had said was simply a joke to liven up the atmosphere. However, Xin Xin took it as a sincere statement and said distressedly, “I know. But I don’t want to see you working so hard and being so tired.”

Qin Sheng did not like that feeling at all. Those things were what he should do. He was not willing to let his relatives feel concerned for him. So he was pondering on what he should do next time if he ended up drunk after events. At that time, he would not go home. Instead, he would directly turn to Brother Lei or Lao Chang and stay in their homes for the night.
