Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 25: Such a high rank

The higher the level, the more ambiguous the speech.

The lower the rank, the better the comprehension ability.

This is a common state of social interaction in the workplace.

For someone of Hailin's level, Zeng Wei has to understand what any random words he says at the dinner table mean?
While eating, Hailin suddenly mentioned Li Ji, which was ruined by him, and Zeng Wei had a bad feeling.

Originally, today's dinner was supposed to be a place for him to flatter Hailin, but it might turn into a meeting for investors to criticize him.

Jiang Beicheng was very smart, but he hadn't used it in the right way before. He could guess what Hailin wanted to express.

He continued, "When Li Ji was in my mother's hands, his peers in Jiangnan City should have found no rivals, right?"

One sentence with two meanings.

On the surface, he responded to Hailin's words and praised his mother.

There is another meaning for Zeng Wei to ponder: such an awesome catering brand was ruined by your Zeng family, so you are also "awesome".

This is not what Zeng Wei is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that his investor Shen Ping is present today.

Naturally, everyone at the table had to follow the topic that Hailin brought up at the dinner table.

As expected, just as Zeng Wei came to his senses, Shen Ping spoke up, and said to him in a reminder tone, "Mr. Zeng, I have also heard about what happened with Li Ji.

You should be thankful that the incident did not have much impact on the brand of Chaoniu Hotpot.

If Chaoniu Hotpot wants to go the IPO route, both brand reputation and your reputation are very important.

Please don’t let anything go wrong and ruin our investment.”

Zeng Wei's forehead was already covered with sweat. He quickly raised his glass to Shen Ping and said, "Please pay attention, Mr. Shen. The company's supervisory department will strictly control this."

When he finished drinking and sat down, he glanced at Jiang Beicheng.

Is this still the Jiangbei City he knew before, a place of debauchery?

Just that one sentence has already killed someone without leaving any bones behind.

He looked so calm and composed, as if he was more accustomed to this kind of dinner than I was.

"Mr. Zeng, I, a newcomer to the catering industry, would like to toast to you, the president of the association." Jiang Beicheng suddenly raised his glass and said, "I hope Mr. Zeng can lead the catering industry in Jiangnan City to a more standardized development path.

It’s getting better and better.”

Zeng was seriously intimidated.

To do this suddenly in front of a table of people is simply murderous.

He still had to raise his glass, and nodded with an awkward smile, "Of course I should, of course I should.

Welcome Mr. Xiao Jiang to join our big family of Jiangnan City’s catering industry.

With Mr. Jiang's wisdom and commitment, we will surely be able to recreate the glory of Mr. Li's past."

While drinking with Jiang Beicheng, he also had to flatter Jiang Beicheng in front of Hailin and the others.

No matter whether it was the truth or just for show, Jiang Beicheng felt very happy when he heard it.

【Smile＋1】

Number of smiles: 6/10

A smile appeared on Hailin's face, and he looked at his nephew Jiang Beicheng with admiration.

After this period of contact, he clearly felt that Jiangbei City had undergone great changes.

I brought Jiang Beicheng here for dinner today, not only to support Jiang Beicheng as an elder, but also to remind Zeng Wei.

At the same time, it is also testing Jiang Beicheng to see if this former prodigal son can live up to the expectations?

The result is obvious. Jiang Beicheng's performance today is considered excellent among the peers that Hailin has met.

He was very pleased that he used his reputation to help his nephew, who was quite sensible and hardworking.

Maybe we can go further in the future.

"Little President Jiang is becoming more and more like President Jiang."

"A great general from a military family, General Jiang will achieve great things sooner or later."

Shen Ping and Zhang Zhi began to praise again.

Zeng Wei smiled along.

He felt bad. He had paid for the meal, brought the Maotai, and flattered her... yet he was the one being criticized.

Not only that, all the attention was on Jiangbei City.

Today's meal was a bit frustrating.

Jiang Beicheng and the two seniors in the financial industry also had a drink and greeted each other politely.

He is very proficient in how to behave at the dinner table and basic social etiquette.

The ways of the underworld are pretty much the same as those of the political and business circles. Just learn to read people's expressions and understand them.

Some classic books he read during this period also made him think more about society, and gradually weakened his social habits.

Temperament and conversation began to come to the fore.

Of course, when he returns to the underworld, he can still thrive like a fish in water.

Hailin and Shen Ping were chatting while Jiang Beicheng went to the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Zeng Wei when he came out. Zeng Wei was smoking a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Beicheng with a smile, "Nephew Beicheng, you made such a big fuss about such a small matter as a shop.

You're buying a shop and using President Hai to pressure me, and now my image has collapsed."

It means that you have lost face in the circle.

Jiang Beicheng took the cigarette with a smile, and Zeng Wei took the initiative to light it and handed it to him.

Jiang Beicheng took a puff and said, "Lao Zeng, Uncle Hailin asked me to come to this meal today.

You really misunderstood me. I never meant to use anyone to pressure you.

Uncle Hailin mentioned talking to you about it, but I don't think it's necessary. You know how busy Uncle Hailin is, so it's not worth asking him to deal with such a small matter, right?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes!" Zeng Wei felt the mockery, but still nodded and smiled.

What Jiang Beicheng said did make sense. If they just wanted to target him, there was no need for someone like Hailin to come forward. A word from Hailin's subordinate Zhang Zhi would be enough.

"My nephew in Beicheng spent a lot of money to buy a shop, right? Does he have sufficient funds for the follow-up? I have some spare cash here, please let me know if you need it." Zeng Wei said.

This time it's not a show to establish Jiang Beicheng as a good person, nor is it a satire on Jiang Beicheng's lack of money for indiscriminate investment, but rather the wisdom of an old fox who can bend and stretch.

Now that Hailin has come forward, he definitely won't dare to play tricks on Jiang Beicheng.

At least before Chaoniu Hotpot goes on the market, we have to be polite to Jiangbei City.

He brought out his sense of brotherhood and took the initiative to provide emergency assistance to Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng finished smoking, smiled and patted Zeng Wei's shoulder, "Old Zeng, I appreciate your kindness.

You don't have to worry about money, you have many friends who are willing to help you. "

This was the truth, but Zeng Wei felt that Jiang Beicheng was deliberately pointing it at him again.

It was very unfair of him to order something from his shop.

I was scared by Hailin's two words at the dinner table, and now I'm more sensitive.

"Mr. Jiang, remember to notify me when the business opens. I'll come and support you," Zeng Wei said.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his welcome and said, "Be sure to notify the president of the Jiangnan City Catering Association to come in person to show our support. I couldn't ask for more."

Zeng Wei smiled along.

Suddenly I felt like I was dealing with Jiang Tao.

Can Jiang Beicheng's rank match his father's?
Zeng Wei has been struggling for so many years, and his vision is still vicious and sharp. Jiang Beicheng is now considered to be a beginner. His performance today is half due to his own quality and cultivation, and the other half is pretending.

What is commendable is that he pretends so convincingly.

Once he has completely transformed, he won't need to pretend anymore, and his rank will be immeasurable.

Zeng Wei sighed inwardly. He originally thought that after Jiang Tao left, he would be able to jump out of the shadow of the Jiang family. Now, it seems that another big devil is slowly rising.

He and Zeng Haifeng's two generations will probably have to bow to the Jiang family.

……

After dinner, Jiang Beicheng left in Hailin's car. Hailin asked with concern, "Zeng Wei went to the bathroom to look for you, right?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle Hailin ordered him like that today, so he must express his opinion to me."

"Hahaha, you kid." Hailin pointed at Jiang Beicheng and smiled.
