Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 611 Chance Encounter
"Well, you and Assistant Yu will accompany me to this charity auction."

Wen Wan had hinted so strongly, and Luo Yang didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm.

"You have a physical exam scheduled for Thursday morning."

"I'm only in my early twenties, what do I need to do?"

Luo Yang paused halfway through his speech.

In his two lives, none of the women around him got pregnant. Maybe it's time to get checked.

"Well, you can arrange it."

After thinking it through, Luo Yang nodded and said, "Since it's a physical examination, then do all the items, including the contents of the marriage examination."

Wen Wan didn't know about Jiang Fan's existence and just recorded it as a normal arrangement.

"Mr. Qiao from Jiang Xiaobai has made an appointment with you on Thursday afternoon. He will bring people from the bank to discuss the loan with you."

Jiang Xiaobai Liquor Industry has a relatively strong degree of independence, and the group hardly interferes in their daily business management.

Daily business activities also include loans. After obtaining the group's consent, the connection with the bank is entirely decided by Qiao Zhiyuan, and Luo Yang does not interfere.

It was a bit strange that they took the initiative to bring people from the bank to the headquarters to report on their work this time.

"There is one more thing. Sequoia Capital's Shen Nanpeng arrived in Shanghai on Thursday afternoon. The company has contacted him about picking him up at the airport, but Mr. Shen declined. However, you still need to decide whether to invite him to dinner."

The launch ceremony of the shared bicycle project was held this Friday. Shen Nanpeng was invited to attend the event, and Luo Yang should have hosted him the night before.

The reason why Wen Wan asked for instructions was because of Qiao Zhiyuan.

He will bring his bank staff here to report on their work on Thursday afternoon, and will most likely invite Luo Yang to have a quick meal together in the evening.

"I'll call Mr. Shen later."

Luo Yang thought about it and decided to prioritize the relationship with Shen Nanpeng. After all, Qiao Zhiyuan could make the decision on his own, and if he wanted to treat everyone, the bank would have to curry favor with him.

"The launch ceremony of the shared bike project is scheduled to start at 9:30 on Friday, and the location will be on the playground of Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology."

After Luo Yang made his decision, Wen Wan continued, "This is the whole Friday."

She has now figured out the pattern: her boss usually returns to Yang City on Friday, and rarely stays until Saturday.

Since it’s a waste of effort to make arrangements, it’s better to leave it empty.

"Please help me apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass. I'm going to Hong Kong next week."

I have already made an appointment with Jiang Fan to go shopping next week, so I’ve got my Hong Kong and Macau Pass ready in advance to avoid breaking my promise later.

“Do you need me to book your flight in advance?”

"We'll talk about it next week after I get my pass."

The exact departure time has not been decided yet, I will have to ask Jiang Fan later.

After explaining the certificate application process, Luo Yang asked about the content of the meeting he did not attend last Friday.

"How did the meeting go last week?"

"I conveyed your thoughts at the meeting. Director Huang Qin is relatively easy to communicate with."

Wen Wan replied with a smile, "The responsibilities of the two departments have been redefined. I have also submitted a detailed report on the definition of the powers and responsibilities of the Director's Office, which I will submit to you for review along with the content of Friday's meeting."

Just now, after Wen Wan entered the office, she immediately handed over a stack of documents. The relevant information must be in it.

"If you have nothing else to do, go out and get busy."

Luo Yang had lunch in Yang City before leaving. When he returned to his office in Magic City, it was almost half past three. By the time Wen Wan finished her work report, it was already past four o'clock.

He plans to stay in a hotel tonight, so it doesn't matter if he gets off work a little later.

At this rate, there is still more than an hour left to handle company affairs.

Around half past five, personal secretary Tian Tian knocked on the door.

"Chairman, the hotel suite has been booked in the name of the company. This time it will be booked for half a year."

Tian Tian reported: "Before Director Wen left, he told me to take a few sets of clothes from your lounge and hang them up in the suite. Do you want to go over and take a look now?"

"Well, I'm moving in tonight."

Luo Yang nodded to indicate that he understood.

More than half an hour later, Tian Tian brought Luo Yang to the Sheraton Hotel.

It only takes about five minutes to walk from here to the group headquarters. Wen Wan’s consideration is quite detailed.

The suite is not big, only about 60 square meters, which cannot be compared with the presidential suite which is hundreds of square meters, but in a hotel of Sheraton's level, it is already the best guest room.

"Chairman, do you think the environment of this guest room is okay?"

"Okay."

If it were Wen Wan, she would not ask this question, because she had already understood Luo Yang's intention. This place was just a show place and there was not much demand for accommodation.

If the boss really wants to stay in the hotel for a long time, the suite that Director Wen usually books would not be of this level.

"Chairman, the hotel buffet is on the second floor. You can go have dinner first."

Tian Tian found an ironing board and iron from the locker and said to Luo Yang while busying herself: "Let me help you iron all your clothes before hanging them up."

"I'm not hungry yet. Go ahead and do your work. We'll go downstairs and eat together later."

Luo Yang walked out of the bedroom, came to the living room outside, and sat on the sofa to rest for a while.

Shortly after I lit a cigarette, my cell phone rang.

"Du Mingyu, what does he want from me?"

Luo Yang took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID. He was a little surprised, but he still answered the call.

"Mr. Luo, I'm Du Mingyu, Weilun's friend."

It seemed as if he was afraid that Luo Yang had forgotten him, so he started by deepening his memory.

"How could I not remember you, Adu!"

Luo Yang smiled and responded, "Last time we got together, I had to leave early for something urgent, and I didn't have time to talk to you. I was thinking of asking Wei Lun to invite you guys when he's free, and I'll host you to get together again."

How could I not remember vividly the night when Gu Man blocked me at the door of Yunduo Music Restaurant and Bar?
After being polite, he naturally got to the point: "You're looking for me."

"Since I returned to China, my friends have come to welcome me. I have been returning the favors for a while now. After going through all of them, only a few close friends are left. It's just right that they will stay tonight."

After the foreshadowing, Du Mingyu naturally extended an invitation: "I asked Wei Lun to book a place at the Yanhuang Business Club. I wonder if Mr. Luo has time tonight. Can we have a small gathering?"

"Okay, what time will you be there?"

He was originally planning to talk to Zhang Weilun about the game company, and since he had nothing to do tonight, he agreed without hesitation.

"Wei Lun will go there first to warm up the crowd. It's okay if we go there a little later."

Du Mingyu smiled and responded: "I will send you the address later when I leave home."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries on the phone before hanging up.

"interesting."

Since Zhang Weilun was also attending tonight, why didn't he contact me but let Du Mingyu call and invite him?
Is it to navigate the software development investment?

Wouldn't it be the same familiar people who treated us last time at tonight's small gathering?

Many doubts flashed through Luo Yang's mind, and for a moment he even forgot to flick the ash away.

It wasn't until a figure flashed in his peripheral vision that he came to his senses. He looked up and saw that it was Tian Tian standing beside him holding an ashtray.

"Chairman, it will take another half an hour to iron all the clothes. Can I make you a cup of tea first?" "Yes."

Luo Yang put out his cigarette and said, "There is only Lipton black tea in the hotel. If you have time later, bring a can of black tea from the office."

"Okay, Chairman."

After putting the ashtray back on the coffee table, Tian Tian went to boil water to make tea.

Gee.
From what I could see, every move of this secretary seemed deliberate, almost all of it was curved and bumpy.

Luo Yang just glanced at it lightly and then looked away.

He picked up his cell phone, found Song Wan's number and dialed it.

Perhaps it was because it was dinner time, the phone rang more than ten times and was only answered when it was about to be hung up.

"Chairman, if you call your subordinates during dinner time, it may affect your appetite unless it is good news."

Song Wan joked about Luo Yang on the phone, and she seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment.

"Fortunately, this call is still connected, otherwise I would have thought you were kidnapped in Yangcheng."

Luo Yang joked without hesitation: "Why, you haven't had enough of the vacation I gave you, and you still want to travel in Yangcheng for a few days?"

"It's not a pleasant feeling to be wrongly accused!"

Song Wan pretended to be hurt and said, "It's rare that I'm still worrying about business matters for the company after get off work, but my boss thinks I'm on vacation. Those who don't know me think I'm looking for something, and those who know me think I'm worried."

"Speak in plain language!"

“I’m working overtime!”

"You haven't spotted any acquisition projects in Yangcheng, have you?"

Luo Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The shared bike project will be officially launched this Friday, and the company still has a lot of things to do. Are you confident that Xiao Wei, a vice president, can take care of it in Shanghai?"

"The general direction has been set, and the rest are all about execution. This is just right for Xiao Wei to practice and will be beneficial to her growth."

Song Wan spoke in a set manner: "What's more, my work here is also very important. It is directly related to the foundation of the group's future main industry. For this reason, I didn't even have a weekend to rest. You must give me a compensatory day off when I come back."

"Didn't you say that Hangzhou has lowered its offer?"

Luo Yang said in a serious tone: "Don't keep him hooked for too long, or the fish might run away."

"No, we can't escape from Hangzhou anymore."

Song Wan said confidently: "I will return to Shanghai tomorrow. After I get off the plane, I will lead the team to Hangzhou to negotiate and finalize the acquisition."

"Since you are sure, I won't say any more."

Luo Yang changed the subject and said, "I called you mainly to talk about another thing."

"I thought you were just trying to hurry me back."

Song Wan was also a little surprised: "What could be more important than the acquisition of an e-commerce platform?"

"I met with a few friends a while ago. One of them had just returned from studying in the UK and was planning to start a company in Shanghai."

Luo Yang explained: "The main business is the development of navigation software. I think the prospects are good. The other party is interested in me participating in the investment. I mean the investment department can consider this project."

"Navigation software?"

Song Wan does have a lot of things in her mind.

When Luo Yang just mentioned the name of the project, she immediately reported the name of a similar product: "A software similar to Amap?"

"Yes, it seems that Baidu is also working on the same type of product."

Luo Yang added: "And Google, they were the first company to develop this kind of software."

“This project is worth the investment.”

Song Wan immediately affirmed: "Although the project is good, it still depends on the entrepreneur himself. I will talk to your friend when I get back. If the person is okay, our investment department will accept the project."

That’s right, Luo Yang and Du Mingyu had only met once and were not familiar with this person.

The investment department headed by Song Wan has a complete set of processes that can score entrepreneurs from multiple dimensions. Even if the scores are mediocre, there will not be major deviations.

"Since you plan to talk in person, I won't agree to the other party directly tonight."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and replied, "Let's discuss the details in person."

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Song Wan urged on the other end of the phone: "The guests at the banquet are still waiting for me."

Luo Yang hung up the phone directly.

He vaguely knew who Song Wan was treating, but he didn't ask.

"Chairman, your tea."

At the right time, Tian Tian brought over the brewed black tea and bent down to put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

She was wearing a single-button blazer with a white silk V-neck shirt underneath. When she bent down, she paused for a moment to allow Luo Yang's eyes to follow the ravine deep into her.
"The iron should be preheated, so hurry up and iron the clothes."

After feasting his eyes on the sight, Luo Yang did nothing but urged Tian Tian to iron her clothes.

"The chairman is going out for a drink tonight?"

When Luo Yang was on the phone just now, Tian Tian was boiling water and making tea in the living room, so she naturally heard the content of the conversation.

She took the initiative to say, "I'll contact Master Tan later and pick you up then."

This is what a personal secretary should do, and there is nothing wrong with what she said.

"it is good!"

Luo Yang didn't say anything, just waved his hand, signaling her to do what she should do.

Half an hour later, he took Tian Tian downstairs to the hotel buffet restaurant for dinner. When the dinner was almost over, Du Mingyu sent a message.

In fact, Zhang Weilun took Luo Yang to the Yanhuang Business Club last time.

Also present that time was Chen Liyang, the secretary general of Yang City Chamber of Commerce. The three of them just walked around and finally asked for a small room to sit down. They did not stay in the club for a long time.

This time, Du Mingyu asked Zhang Weilun to book a medium-sized cigar bar that can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.

Different from the warm-up in bars and KTVs, the atmosphere is created by the interesting interactions between the hostesses and the organizers.

The warm-up here is built by relying on the fame of the men attending the party.

In addition to a large number of business people, the Yanhuang Business Club also has many "famous ladies" who come to play. Whether it is because they are bored or to find a rich husband, there is such a group of young female members in the business club.

Whenever a famous boss organizes a party, as long as it is not private, the place will definitely be filled with celebrities.

Even if you are not looking for a rich husband, it is good to listen to some business information.

Luo Yang arrived at around 8:30.

As mentioned earlier, Yanhuang Business Club is a membership-based club. If you want to enter, you must either be a member yourself or be brought by a member.

Just when he was about to call Zhang Weilun or Du Mingyu to ask them to come out and pick someone up, someone patted Luo Yang on the shoulder.

"Luo Yang, why don't you go in? Are you waiting for your friends?"

"?"

The voice sounded familiar.

Luo Yang turned around and saw a familiar face with a smile on its face.
