After hanging up the phone with his mother, Qu Lianjie had been sitting lazily on his chair fishing until his secretary Chen Tao walked in and finally cheered up.
"Mr. Qu, Financial Director Zhao is coming to report to you!" Chen Tao said as he approached.
After hearing this, Qu Lianjie first sat upright and straightened his wrinkled clothes, and then said, "Let Director Zhao come in!"
"Okay, Mr. Qu~" Secretary Chen Tao said and respectfully left the office.
After a while, I saw a mature man who looked to be in his 40s and wearing a crisp blue suit walking in. He looked particularly elite at first glance.
The person who came was Zhao Da, the financial director of the group. He, Zhao Mei and Qian Yi were jokingly called the troika of the group by people in the company. They were also talents that Qu Lianjie poached with a high salary three years ago.
Holding a folder in his hand, Zhao Da walked to the desk: "Mr. Qu, this is the financial statement for this quarter. Overall, it is an upward trend!"
"Old Zhao, come and sit here and try my new tea~" Qu Lianjie stood up and walked towards the reception area, saying with a friendly smile.
After getting along with each other in the past few years, Zhao Da also understood the boss's character, so he walked over and sat on the sofa: "Thank you, Mr. Qu~"
Afterwards, Qu Lianjie made two cups of tea, handed one over and said with a smile: "I'm not bragging. Zhao Mei and Qian Yi both said it was good, hurry up and try it!"
"Okay, Mr. Qu!" After Zhao Da said this, he placed the financial statements in front of his boss, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
He actually didn't know how to drink tea, but he had to give face to his boss, so he bravely praised it: "Well, it's really good, it has a refreshing fragrance!"
Then he laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "But this good tea is just in vain for me to drink. It doesn't matter what kind of tea I drink~"
"Hahaha, I almost forgot, you prefer drinking coffee, blame me, blame me!" Qu Lianjie actually didn't really forget.
But I want to express a meaning by using this cup of tea. What I give you is yours, not that I have to give you whatever you want.
Then Qu Lianjie ignored Zhao Da, picked up the financial statements on the coffee table, read them, and asked about some things he didn't understand.
Zhao Da also patiently answered the questions raised by his boss, and time passed slowly.
After the things were done, Zhao Da left the office, and Qu Lianjie was not interested anymore. Feeling a little hungry, he asked his secretary Chen Tao to buy a meal for him.
After eating, he went to the lounge inside to take a nap. As a result, Qu Lianjie felt that he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a phone ringing:
"Today, I watched the snow drifting by in the cold night, with a chilled heart..."
"Hey, who is it~" Qu Lianjie closed his eyes and sounded a little careless after being connected.
The person on the other end of the phone heard the lazy voice and joked directly: "You are sleeping, you are so cool when you are the boss!"
"It's you, kid. Why are you calling me? Do you miss your father and me?" When Qu Lianjie heard this familiar voice, he knew it was his friend Wang Xu who was calling.
When Wang Xu heard these familiar words, he laughed and cursed in anger: "Get out!"
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and then Wang Xu got down to business: "Do you have anything going on this afternoon? Let's go out for a drink together?"
"Okay, send me the location~" Qu Lianjie nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
After hanging up the phone, Qu Lianjie got dressed and called his secretary, asking him to tell the driver to wait for him downstairs. Then when he was in the elevator, he felt as if he had forgotten something.
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of anything, so Qu Lianjie had no choice but to give up.
He shook his head and murmured to himself: "It's probably not that important, forget it, forget it~"
After going downstairs, Qu Lianjie went straight to his one-year-old Bentley Mulsanne parked in front of the company.
After getting in the car, Qu Lianjie took out his mobile phone and looked at the address sent to him by his friend. He raised his head and told the driver in the driving seat: "Hongyu, let's go to XX Hotel!"
"Okay, Mr. Qu~" the driver Liu Hongyu said and started the car directly.
Qu Lianjie was sitting in the back row, scrolling through his phone, and suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly.
Then he asked the driver in the front seat: "Have you bought the things I asked you to buy last time?"
The driver replied while driving: "I have already bought Mr. Qu, and it is in the passenger storage compartment!"
"Yeah~" Qu Lianjie nodded upon hearing this.
The Bentley Mulsanne arrived at the appointed hotel. Qu Lianjie got out of the car, took a small box from the driver, put it in his bag, and then walked towards the hotel lobby.
As soon as he took the elevator upstairs and entered the box, he saw that almost everyone had arrived and were sitting there waiting for him. Qu Lianjie understood it immediately and felt lucky that he had made preparations in advance.
But Qu Lianjie didn't just take out what he had prepared. Instead, he apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the road~"
At this time, a joking voice came over: "Mr. Qu, do you still remember what day it is today?"
"Of course I know!" Qu Lianjie said and took out the small box from his bag. Inside was a watch from a well-known brand.
He took a few steps forward and handed it directly to Chen Weinan, who had been sitting there smiling, and said: "Happy birthday, Ah Nan!"
"Thank you~" Chen Weinan smiled and accepted the gift, but now he felt a little regretful about why he made this joke.
After that, Wang Xu stood up with a glass of wine, walked over to Qu Lianjie, drank it in one gulp, and then said with an apologetic tone: "Everyone is joking with you, please don't mind~"
"What's the point~" Qu Lianjiexiao smiled slightly, knowing that this was definitely not this guy's idea.
Then he directly found his seat and sat down, chatting with Chen Weinan who was sitting next to him. He didn't pay attention to this harmless little joke. At worst, we would have less contact in the future.
Because he knows that since he became rich, he has become someone else's child in their parents' eyes, and it is normal for others to be a little resentful.
Chen Weinan also apologized quietly to Qu Lianjie, then raised his head to face the person who spoke and said loudly:
"Xiao Shuai, you guessed wrong this time. Hurry up and offer Lianjie a glass of wine to apologize. You guys keep making wild guesses every day. Is Lianjie the kind of person who forgets his brothers when he gets rich?"
"This is quite embarrassing for me, please don't do this again~"
Other people present also cheered: "Yes, handsome, this is your fault~"
No one knew, Li Shuai also regretted at this time, why he had made this suggestion so impulsively just now, but now these people are putting the blame on himself.
"Damn, these bastards are using me as a gun~" Li Shuai cursed in his heart, then gritted his teeth and stood up to pick up the wine dispenser on the table without taking the small cup.
Walking up to Qu Lianjie, he whispered: "I'm sorry, brother Lianjie, my joke was a little too much. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, I downed the full 2 taels of white wine directly.
When Qu Lianjie saw this, he smiled, picked up the wine glass on his table and lost one, and said: "Okay, we are all friends, what are you doing, isn't it just a joke!"
Even if this matter is over, only he knows what Qu Lianjie is thinking. Some people are afraid that their brothers will have a hard time and that they will drive a Land Rover.
I'm afraid this Li Shuai has also been used as a weapon, but I have to have less contact with this kind of person in the future. He doesn't seem to be very smart...
