After listening to his friend's words, Qu Lianjie laughed unkindly:
"Hahaha, you, a second-generation rich man, are unprecedented and unprecedented. Uncle Chen must be too cruel to you!"
Chen Weinan said with a depressed face when he heard this:
"I'm about to be raped. My old stubborn dad was a soldier. He was afraid that I would ruin the foundation he created, so he has been very strict with me since he was a child!"
"When I was in college, whenever I had some free time, I would be called to the sales office to sell houses. In order to prevent me from developing bad habits, my dad didn't give me any pocket money at all, so the clothes I wore were all It’s a cheap stall!”
"My roommates in the same dormitory once thought that my family background was poor and they took very good care of me. Even a roommate from the Northeast felt that I was very pitiful and often brought me meals, which made me dumbfounded."
"Hahaha, then they didn't strangle you to death when they found out your true situation?" Qu Lianjie was like a curious baby, eager to know the answer.
Chen Weinan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely:
"After they learned about the situation, they blackmailed me for twenty meals. I didn't have much money at that time. If I hadn't earned some commissions from selling the house, I would have had to eat dirt!"
"By the way, what kind of house do you plan to buy, and what's the approximate budget?" After Chen Weinan swallowed the food in his mouth, he asked Qu Lianjie seriously.
Because Qu Lianjie now had money in his pocket, he waved his hand and said very grandly:
"I plan to buy a villa, preferably with a slightly larger yard. It doesn't matter if the budget is more or less!"
Seeing his friend's face as a nouveau riche, Chen Weinan wanted to reach out and strangle him to death, and complained directly:
"Your kid has made a fortune recently. I'll show it to you when I get home. It just so happens that our family just opened a community some time ago, focusing on high-end villas!"
Because Chen Weinan had to go back to work soon, neither of them drank, so they ate very quickly.
After eating, they ordered a pot of tea. The two sat on the sofa in the private room, drinking tea and chatting.
At this moment, Chen Weinan suddenly remembered something, turned to Qu Lianjie who was sitting beside him and asked:
"Lianjie, there is a drinking party tonight. If you have nothing to do, would you like to come with me?"
"Who set up the game? Do I know him?" Qu Lianjie asked subconsciously. He didn't agree or refuse.
Chen Weinan picked up the toothpick on the table and said while picking his teeth:
"The person who organized the game is not from our Magic City, but from Nantong. Have you heard of the Bao Group? The person who organized the game this time is their little Mr. Bao!"
"Mr. Bao, do you mean Bao Yifan?" Qu Lianjie asked uncertainly when he heard this familiar name!
When Chen Weinan saw that he directly called out Mr. Bao's name, he asked in surprise:
"What, do you know this Mr. Bao?"
Qu Lianjie blinked. He couldn't explain this. He couldn't say that he had watched a TV series, so he could only respond casually:
"I don't know him. I heard my dad mention the Bao Group before. It's a family business and it's very powerful in the local area. Are you familiar with Bao Yifan?"
Chen Weinan was not surprised after hearing this. After all, this circle is both big and small. Then he explained:
"We're not too familiar with each other. We met at a wine shop through a friend's introduction. Our family has a project in Nantong. I always go there during this time, and we've become familiar with it after going back and forth!"
"Bao has been operating in Nantong for many years. You also know that when doing real estate projects, having a good relationship with such local snakes will save you a lot of trouble!"
Qu Lianjie also agreed very much with this, because people like them cannot make friends based on their own likes and dislikes, but more because of interests. To put it bluntly, it was the same with the Chen Weinan in front of me.
Their parents are business partners. The Chen family is in the real estate business and the Qu family is in the building materials business. It can be said that they complement each other. The reason why the relationship has become so good now is also due to the later maintenance.
Qu Lianjie nodded in agreement when he thought of this:
"Okay, let's go together tonight. It just so happens that I'm going to meet this Mr. Bao. I've heard people mention him before, but the general evaluation of this Mr. Bao is not very good!"
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, agreed on a time to meet up in the evening, and left separately.
…
In the evening, Qu Lianjie changed into a hand-made black suit and drove to Chen Weinan's home to meet up with his friends. Then the two of them took a car together to the venue where the reception was held on the Bund.
Arriving at the Peninsula Hotel, which just opened last year, Qu Lianjie got off the car and followed his friend, then took the elevator directly to the banquet hall where the reception was held.
Then Chen Weinan warmly introduced Qu Lianjie beside him to Bao Yifan who was standing at the door to greet the guests:
"Brother Fan, I brought over a friend, this Qu Lianjie from Qu's Building Materials~"
After all, they were all in the circles of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Naturally, Bao Yifan had heard of Qu's Building Materials. He turned his head and looked Qu Lianjie up and down, feeling that this person was by no means an ordinary person.
So even though he didn't know him, Bao Yifan still extended his right hand very politely and said enthusiastically with his magnetic voice:
"Hello Lianjie, I'm so glad you could come over. Make sure you have fun and eat today!"
"Hello Mr. Bao, nice to meet you!" Qu Lianjie shook the other person's extended hand very calmly.
He had been observing Bao Yifan carefully from the side just now. He was about 30 years old and had a relatively strong build. He was wearing a suit vest and white shirt. He looked very mature and capable. He was not at all like what was rumored outside. "Grass bag".
Bao Yifan immediately led the two of them in personally, but he didn't pay much attention to Qu Lianjie. After all, Qu Datou's net worth of more than one billion was still not enough in front of the Bao Group.
After coming in, Bao Yifan patiently chatted with the two of them for a few words, and then casually found an excuse to leave. The reason why he could chat for a few words was because he had a good impression of Qu Lianjie.
After all, this party is held today to prepare for the Bao Group's future entry into the Magic City. There are many people who need to make friends.
After Chen Weinan waited for Bao Yifan to leave, he happened to see an acquaintance not far away. He turned to his friend beside him and said:
"Lianjie, let me go over and say hello!"
Then the two of them separated. Qu Lianjie also saw a few familiar people and walked over to say a few polite words. In the end, he felt that it was not interesting, so he sat on the sofa nearby and rested while eating fruit.
After a while, Chen Weinan also came back, sat down next to Qu Lianjie with a glass of wine, and complained speechlessly:
"I brought you here to let you make some friends. Why are you here eating the fruit plate!"
Qu Lianjie ignored his friend's complaints, leaned into his ear and whispered:
"Ah Nan, there are rumors outside that this little bag is always a fool. Now it seems that it is pure nonsense. How can a rich second-generation fool organize a game with so many people here!"
"Just now I actually saw Qin Ming, the son of Mr. Qin of Chenxing Capital. This guy has always regarded himself as aloof and has always looked down upon us!"
"If Bao Yifan doesn't have any ability, this eldest son of Qin will not condescend to come here in person!"
Chen Weinan smiled when he heard this, and quietly shared the information he knew with his friends:
"The Bao Group is a family business with many shareholders, including seven aunts and eight aunts. The shares held by Mr. Bao and his wife cannot hold the company at all!"
