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

Chapter 797 The Outgoing Woman
Because of his visit to Xue Jun of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Luo Yang stayed an extra day in his hometown.

However, he did not stay overnight in Yang City. After having dinner at his father-in-law's house, he rushed back to Shanghai.

Around 9:30, the car drove directly to the entrance of the Jiangnan Business Club in Xuhui District.

The club has now officially opened for business. Although it hasn't been open for long, thanks to Luo Yang's strong connections, the newly opened club is surprisingly bustling.

Shen Jinglan had received Luo Yang's notification in advance and was already waiting at the door.

"Besides Fu Bin, are there any other people?"

There were no pleasantries upon meeting; Luo Yang went straight to asking about the situation. The reason he rushed back to Shanghai overnight was because Fu Bin had called that afternoon, originally to arrange a dinner, but now it had changed to a meeting at the Jiangnan Club.

"President Fu brought two people with him. When I went to toast him, he introduced them. One was the company's vice president, named Wu Siyuan, and the other was his assistant, Shao Yujie."

As Shen Jinglan led the way, she said, "They arrived about half an hour earlier than you, and they're in the cigar bar on the third floor right now."

The elevator quickly took the two to the third floor.

"Would you like me to call a business associate to accompany you?"

Before entering the cigar bar, Shen Jinglan whispered in Luo Yang's ear, "Among the people who came tonight, there are several with very good looks, and they are all business elites with good vision and understanding."

"Okay, call one over here."

Luo Yang had just touched the doorknob of the private room when he paused for a moment and said, "I'll keep Mr. Fu's assistant company for a while."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and entered the cigar bar.

"Sorry bro, there was a bit of traffic on the way, I'm a little late, sorry to keep you waiting."

"I haven't been here long either."

Upon seeing Luo Yang approaching, Fu Bin immediately stood up, shook hands with Luo Yang, and said with a smile, "If anyone should apologize, it should be me for calling you all the way from Yang City overnight."

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Yang sat down next to Fu Bin.

"any drinks?"

"Champagne!"

As soon as Luo Yang finished speaking, Fu Bin's assistant, Shao Yujie, half-squatted down in front of the glass coffee table to help pour the wine.

"Eh?"

Luo Yang asked in surprise, "Aren't there any waiters in the private room?"

"We have to talk about serious business later, and it's uncomfortable to have a waiter poking around next to me."

Fu Bin raised his glass to Luo Yang and said, "If you hadn't called me a few days ago, I would have thought you were still in the United States. I was even thinking of throwing you a welcome banquet, but I didn't expect you to go to Yang City as soon as you returned to the country. You're busy with business but you still remember to take care of your old brother. I must toast you with this glass!"

After saying that, he downed most of a glass of liquor in one go.

Luo Yang responded with a smile and downed the half-empty glass of champagne he had just poured.

Fu Bin immediately picked up the bottle and refilled Luo Yang's glass.

"Brother"

Luo Yang couldn't beat Fu Bin and could only watch him show enthusiasm with a wry smile.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

After pouring the wine, Fu Bin patted his forehead and said, "Wu Siyuan is the vice president of Guotai Real Estate, mainly in charge of business. Xiao Shao doesn't need an introduction, you know him."

"Mr. Luo, I've long admired your name."

Wu Siyuan was sitting on the sofa to the side. When Fu Bin introduced him, he stood up, held his business card in both hands, and walked up to Luo Yang: "I have only been with the company for a short time, but I have heard about Luo's glorious achievements many times while working with President Fu. Meeting Luo in person today is even more amazing."

Luo Yang glanced at the business card politely as he took it, then casually asked, "Are you currently in charge of Guotai's investment promotion business?" "Not just investment promotion business."

Wu Siyuan immediately replied, "It also includes contacting various local governments and discussing all aspects of Cathay Pacific's business with them. Of course, this part is mainly handled by President Fu, and I am mainly responsible for the subsequent detailed negotiations to secure more benefits for the project."

"He deals with government departments on the front end and handles investment negotiations on the back end. Mr. Wu is quite the jack-of-all-trades."

After Luo Yang made a compliment, he drank a glass with the very modest Wu Siyuan.

After setting down his glass, he turned to Fu Bin and said with a smile, "Brother, just from Mr. Wu's words, you can see that Guotai is brimming with talent. The company is sure to achieve great things in the next few years."

"Haha, I appreciate your kind words!"

After a hearty laugh, Fu Bin said seriously, "The company's strength and prosperity are inseparable from the help of friends, just like you, my brother. From the creation of the Guotai model to the connection of the first project, and now that there is a new project, you still remember to take care of your brother. To be honest, Guotai's development today is absolutely inseparable from your help."

"Helping you is helping my dad!"

Luo Yang laughed and said, "Actually, when I was working part-time at Jincheng Real Estate, my initial dream was to be a rich second-generation heir who could just laze around and do nothing. That's why I kept paving the way for my old man. I just never expected this."

"I never imagined I'd become a self-made millionaire!"

Fu Bin picked up where Luo Yang left off, then laughed loudly and said, "You have no idea, I've had a few drinks with your dad and heard him ramble on. He said that even though he's making a million-dollar annual salary and millions in bonuses now, he doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment at all. Hahaha, I can't help but laugh when I think of Lao Luo's depressed expression."

"Even if you don't say it, I can guess it."

Luo Yang joked, "That's why I'm doing everything I can to help Guotai grow stronger. I'm thinking that one day in the future, Guotai will go public and have a market value of over 100 billion. At that time, my old man will also have a net worth of tens of billions. Then he won't be so depressed anymore."

"Looks like I'll have to work harder too, bro, to make Luo Yonghao's net worth of billions!"

A glint flashed in Fu Bin's eyes, and he picked up a bottle of Chivas Regal and filled his glass to the brim.
The two exchanged a smile, clinked glasses, and drank.

Just as she put down her wine glass, the door to the cigar bar was pushed open, and Shen Jinglan walked in.

Behind her followed a tall, fair-skinned young woman. The woman had her hair up and wore a modified Suzhou-style cheongsam. She walked gracefully in the dim light, looking like a lady from the Republican era.

"Boss, Guo Yi insisted on coming over to say hello after hearing you were here. I was worried she might bother you and President Fu, so..."

When not dealing with complex business matters, Shen Jinglan has a fairly high emotional intelligence.

Her words could mislead Fu Bin into thinking that Luo Yang already knew Guo Yi, thus avoiding the awkward situation of having to bring in a business companion for drinks at the last minute.

Moreover, he left himself an out; if Luo Yang was not satisfied, he could have let Guo Yi leave after offering her a toast.

"Well, let's toast my brother and General Manager Wu first."

Luo Yang was quite pleased with Guo Yi's appearance, so he said, "There's a lady here too; you can chat with Assistant Shao for a bit later."

"Mr. Fu, my name is Guo Yi, and I am a partner at Dahua Audit Firm. You can just call me Xiao Guo."

While introducing himself, he found an empty glass and filled it with red wine. "I apologize for interrupting your conversation with Mr. Luo. I'll punish myself with a glass first, and then I'll toast you!"

After saying that, the woman picked up her wine glass and decisively drank a full glass as a self-punishment.

After hearing Guo Yi's self-introduction, Fu Bin was misled.

"I never expected that Brother Luo would have such a beautiful confidante as President Guo. If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have met her."

As they were talking, Fu Bin actually stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said with a big smile, "Why the penalty drink? Beautiful ladies have special privileges, I'll drink with you!"

Since he was already like this, Wu Siyuan and Shao Yujie naturally felt embarrassed to stay seated. After Fu Bin finished drinking, they also raised their glasses and drank with Guo Yi.

After exchanging greetings, Guo Yi walked around the glass coffee table and sat down next to Luo Yang.

At the same time, she took Luo Yang's arm with both hands.

They looked very close.
