The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Seeing Zhao Shucheng about to leave, Lu Meilin quickly walked over and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you leaving already?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am. But Miss Wang and Chef Fan want to dine in the private room, so please make sure to order the best food and put it on my tab."

Lu Meilin naturally dared not offend Zhao Shucheng and nodded repeatedly.

Master Fan replied, "Mr. Zhao, how can this be? I can't let you pay. I can do it myself."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Master Fan, please don't stand on ceremony. We'll be seeing each other a lot more often in the future. Besides, you've taken good care of Miss Wang these past few days. It's just a meal, don't worry about it. I have something to attend to, so I'll head out now. You two enjoy your meal."

Without waiting for Master Fan to say anything, she grabbed Vivian's hand and walked towards the outside of Jin Meilin.

Wang Mingzhu stopped Master Fan, who was about to say something more, and naturally noticed that Lu Meilin and the others were not paying any attention to her at all. For the first time, she felt the coldness of human relationships.

She couldn't help but think back to when she and Master Fan entered Jinmeilin, and how the proprietress and Xiao Jiangxi had treated her. It was only after seeing Zhao Shucheng that their attitude improved somewhat.

She didn't expect that just because she temporarily left No. 27 Bund, the proprietress on Huanghe Road would stop fawning over her, and she might not even be able to book a private room. It was only because Zhao Shucheng appeared that she was spared an embarrassing situation.

Zhao Shucheng had no idea what Wang Mingzhu was thinking. He took Vivian directly to Honglu and entered a private room.

After they finished their meal, they ran into A Bao, who was also there to treat someone to dinner and discuss the listing of an apparel company.

Abao didn't expect to run into Zhao Shucheng here, and nodded to him.

Zhao Shucheng nodded in agreement, then left with Vivian.

After Wang Mingzhu finished her meal with Master Fan and the others, Master Fan wanted to pay the bill, but Lu Meilin said that Zhao Shucheng had already paid.

Master Fan felt a little embarrassed and wanted Wang Mingzhu to help him return the money to Zhao Shucheng.

Wang Mingzhu replied, "Master Fan, it's alright. I'll give him the money when I see him another day."

As they walked out, they saw Abao coming out after finishing his meal.

The two stood facing each other across the sea of ​​people, a sense of things having changed. Ah Bao wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.

Looking at A Bao, Wang Mingzhu thought about how she had suffered in the warehouse during this time, but A Bao had not appeared even once. Although she knew that A Bao was probably busy with business, she still felt bad because she knew clearly that she liked A Bao, but A Bao might not like her back.

a few days later.

Wang Mingzhu was sitting on the warehouse steps wearing a raincoat, watching the wind and rain swaying on the river.

Master Fan came to find her at this time and said, "This rain is really heavy, Xiao Wang, are you really not going back?"

"Don't go!"

"Why? When you first came here, you kept saying you wanted to go back. Now that things have been clarified for you, you don't want to go back anymore."

"It's meaningless. I've always been innocent, why should I prove it?"

Master Fan said, “Miss Wang, let me tell you, my grandfather used to tell me that everyone has their own dock, especially in Hongkou, where everyone makes a living from the dock, you know? We can’t read many words, but you are an educated person. Where is your dock? Your dock is at No. 27 on the Bund.”

Wang Mingzhu said, "Why can't I be someone else's dock?"

"What about Mr. Bao and Mr. Zhao?"

“No!” Wang Mingzhu said, standing up and walking into the rain. “I am my own dock!”

Wang Mingzhu was not joking; she had experienced the harsh realities of human relationships recently. Last time, when Master Fan treated them to a meal, although Zhao Shucheng helped, they didn't encounter any problems.

The next day, she went to Huanghe Road to book a private room, but when the landladys heard that she wasn't with A Bao, they turned Wang Mingzhu away.

She was unwilling to be labeled as A Bao or Zhao Shucheng, so she was determined to make something of herself and return to Huanghe Road openly and honestly, without having to rely on other people's names to book private rooms.

The head office leadership planned to transfer her back, but she wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, she focused on completing her work. Only after finishing all her tasks did she reluctantly say goodbye to Master Fan.

"Let me tell you, I'm very good at judging people, Miss Wang, you're amazing!"

Wang Mingzhu said, "Don't call me Miss Wang, call me Little Wang, Little Wang from Hongkou! I will come back to see you!"

"Little Wang from Hongkou, remember this: don't embarrass me!"

Wang Mingzhu turned around, looked at the place where she had worked hard for several months, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Thank you!"

Mei Ping had just experienced the glory of being employee number 27, but Wang Mingzhu was coming back, so she could only return to her original position.

But as she reluctantly carried her things back to her old desk, Jin Hua informed her that Wang Mingzhu had already resigned.

Mei Ping was surprised by the good news and immediately went to Section Chief Jin to apply to become the section chief herself.

Jin Hua looked at Mei Ping and bluntly said that Mei Ping was not qualified.

Mei Ping was naturally indignant, after all, her performance during this period was not bad at all, so why couldn't it be her? She went to her uncle to tell him about her grievances, but her uncle kindly advised her and recommended that she read the book "How the Steel Was Tempered".

Jin Hua was somewhat reluctant to see Wang Mingzhu leave, especially after learning that Wang Mingzhu was going to start a foreign trade company, and she advised her to think twice.

Wang Mingzhu said, "Since I was transferred this time, I have realized that I used to sit facing south and everyone seemed to give me face. But how many people did it because of No. 27? How many people did it because I am Wang Mingzhu? I don't want to rely on No. 27. I want people to respect me because I am Wang Mingzhu. So I want to go it alone and start my own foreign trade company."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "I've thought it all out. I plan to hold an investment promotion conference on Huanghe Road, invite my old clients and partners to dinner, and tell them that I'm now starting my own business and asking for their help."

Jin Hua asked, "How many people did you invite?"

“Forty or fifty people, but maybe more than that. My dad’s friends are all very supportive. I was worried he might scold me for this, but he told me to go for it, and that he even paid for the banquet.” Jin Hua said, “People outside are just watching the show, they just talk big. But you need to know your place, Miss Wang, once you leave Bund 27.”

“I know. Before I made the call, I was a little worried that they might feel embarrassed to come because they thought they had offended the foreign trade company. But I didn’t expect them to be so enthusiastic and welcoming. It’s like flowers blooming inside the wall but fragrant outside. Even though I’m currently out and about, my relationship with the foreign trade company is still with them, so I’m still helping them.”

Jin Hua said, "There is flexibility without using funds from a foreign trade company. People ask you who you're starting the company with?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "I've made it clear to them all. I'll be doing it alone; Mr. Bao won't be involved, but the specifications will be exactly the same as before."

Jin Hua, however, had doubts about this. After all, if Wang Mingzhu did this, she would really be working alone, and those people might not support her.

Where will the banquet be held?

"Yellow River Road, Zhizhen Garden!"

Jin Hua asked curiously, "Zhizhen Garden? Why?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "Didn't people say there was no place for me on Huanghe Road? I just want to show those people that I'm determined to make room for myself."

"Xiao Wang, you've just started out doing this job, and I have a piece of advice for you: your heart can be warm, but your head must stay cool!"

Ah Bao had also heard about Wang Mingzhu going solo, and some people even called to ask how much Ah Bao was involved in Wang Mingzhu's company.

Hearing his uncle tell those people that Abao hadn't participated, Abao didn't know what to say. He could only say, "Big fish come from big storms. She dared to do this, which means she's made up her mind. I support her!"

How will you provide support?

Ah Bao said, "Mental support!"

Zhao Shucheng had also heard about this period and called Wang Mingzhu directly, saying, "Ms. Wang, I heard you're planning to leave Bund 27 and start your own business?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, I was just about to send you an invitation!"

Zhao Shucheng retorted, "Ms. Wang, that's a bit unfair of you. You didn't initially intend to leave Number 27; it was I who persuaded you to go it alone. We agreed to cooperate in foreign trade, but now you're abandoning me to go it alone. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Wang Mingzhu replied, "Mr. Zhao, this time I want to see what I can achieve on my own, so I'm sorry. If you're really interested in doing foreign trade, how about we discuss it in detail after the investment promotion conference?"

When Zhao Shucheng heard Wang Mingzhu say that, he felt that she was really stubborn and wouldn't give up until she hit a brick wall. He didn't think that Wang Mingzhu could successfully set up his foreign trade company just by sending out invitations.

After all, Wang Mingzhu's previous success was due to the backing of No. 27 Bund. But now that she's going it alone, why would anyone give her orders and let her earn the difference, instead of going directly to No. 27 Bund?

Moreover, without Ah Bao's help, Wang Mingzhu's funding would be a major problem. Naturally, they wouldn't easily trust her unless she achieved results.

Meanwhile, in the private rooms on the top floor of Zhizhen Garden.

This top-floor private room at Zhizhen Garden has never been open to the public since it opened. Even when Abao came, he was turned away.

However, not long ago, this private room was suddenly opened to outsiders, and today is the second time it has been opened.

Manager Pan led someone to the top-floor private room, where Li Li was already waiting. Upon seeing the newcomer, she proactively said, "President Qiang, you're always so punctual!"

Qiang Mujie said, "This is the Shenzhen speed."

"President Qiang, please have a seat!"

After Qiang Mujie sat down, he looked sharply at Lili and said seriously, "Lili, I don't care who you want to befriend or date. But don't forget the purpose of our visit. Don't let personal feelings ruin our plans."

Li Li said, "President Qiang's worries are unnecessary. Besides, President Qiang is worried that I will ruin things because of my personal feelings, and I am equally worried that President Qiang will ruin things because of his personal feelings. The person you asked me to find has been found."

Qiang Mujie's expression immediately changed, and he asked, "Where is she?"

"Mr. Qiang, won't you let's talk about business first?"

Qiang Mujie naturally knew that Li Li wanted to take the initiative, and said, "Li Li, you have grown a lot during this time, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. I am here to tell you that the main force has arrived, and you should be prepared."

Li Li took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I've made all the preparations. The waiters won't speak Cantonese. And the person you want to see is on Jinxian Road, at Night Tokyo!"

Qiang Mujie nodded and said, "That would be best. By the way, are you also quite familiar with that Zhao Shucheng?"

Li Li nodded with some surprise and said, "He's eaten at Zhizhen Garden a few times. What's wrong?"

“This person is very famous in Hong Kong’s stock market circles, and he is really capable. He swindled tens of millions of Hong Kong stocks at once, and there are rumors that it was hundreds of millions. He is currently in Shanghai, and I need to know if he will pose a threat to our operations.”

Li Li smiled and said, "I don't know about that. After all, we're not familiar with each other and rarely have any contact. So you'll have to investigate and handle the specifics yourselves."

Qiang Mujie frowned and said, "Li Li, don't think about standing by and watching. If we fail, you won't get away with it either."

"So what do you want me to do? I can't exactly go to their door and question them about whether they're going to get involved in the stock market, or tell them not to get involved in your business, can I?"

"Of course not. I want you to act as a go-between and arrange a meal together before we officially launch our operation, so that we can avoid any confrontation."

Li Li nodded and said, "I will contact President Zhao, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree. But as you said, he's just one person, working alone. You're Nanguo Investment, so why are you worried that he might pose a threat to you?"

Qiang Mujie shook his head and said, "If it's just him, he's not a threat. At most, he'll eat our leftovers. But if he makes a move and tells the retail investors like before, it will definitely hinder our actions."

"No way?"

Qiang Mujie looked at Li Li and said, "Why not? Zhao Shucheng's battle for fame was not actually in the Hong Kong stock market, but in the Shanghai stock market. Back then, he entered the Shanghai stock market with 10,000 yuan and doubled his assets in a short period of time. Moreover, with the help of many retail investors, he fought against the local Shanghai Snake Qilin Association and caused the Qilin Association to suffer considerable losses."

"However, Zhao Shucheng offended the Qilin Society because of this, which is why he was excluded from the Shanghai stock market and could only make money in Hong Kong, but that's how he earned the title of 'Stock God'." (End of Chapter)
