When Jiang Yue appeared at the entrance, he transformed into Director Ding Youliang.
The security personnel at the entrance were very dedicated to document verification and invitation letter. After careful verification, they made a respectful gesture to invite in.
After passing the entrance, take the elevator into the lobby on the first floor.
There is a sign-in desk in the lobby, and everyone who arrives, without exception, must sign in here.
When Jiang Yue came to the sign-in area, he saw Wan Yiming and Yang Xiaoxiao going through the sign-in procedures.
Wan Yiming obviously turned away from the shopkeeper and was chatting with the guy who drove the Big Taurus from the side. The sign-in procedure was handed over to Yang Xiaoxiao.
Don't look at Wan Yiming wearing a pair of big sunglasses. He doesn't look very down-to-earth and difficult to get close to.
In fact, this is not the case. Like Du Yifeng, this kind of young man actually has a clear mind. The elite education he received since childhood has made him very clear about who he should be intimate with, who he should stay away from, who he can ignore, and what standards should be used with whom. He was actually very considerate.
No, when he saw Jiang Yue appear, Wan Yiming actually took off his sunglasses and said with a smile on his face: "Ding Chu, there is a tacit understanding. When I arrive with my front foot, you will come with your rear foot."
Jiang Yue was somewhat stunned by this sudden enthusiasm.
Wan Yiming is the son of Deputy General Manager Wan, and Ding Youliang is just the director of the Material Reserve Bureau. Although Wan Yiming himself is not an official, the status between the two is not equal.
In any case, under normal circumstances, the dignified son of Deputy General Manager Wan would not greet a division chief so proactively, and he was so enthusiastic, with a sense of intimacy in his words.
Although this intimacy is very performative, at least the posture is in place, right?
Jiang Yue didn't know what the previous relationship between Ding Youliang and Wan Yiming was, so it was difficult to overact. Considering that Ding Youliang's character was more serious, it was definitely impossible to be particularly exaggerated on such occasions.
Immediately I said something that was not painful or itchy: "Master Wan, you came early enough."
Wan Yiming smiled and said: "Ding Chu, don't leave after we've parted. Let's have a drink. Don't refuse."
"Master Wan invites you to drink. I, Old Ding, must be there."
What seems like a simple conversation is actually very troublesome. There is no way to know the relationship between the two people, and it is also unclear whether there is a PY transaction. There must be a story behind the seemingly simple date for a drink.
Otherwise, how much common interests can a young man and a prim and serious middle-aged director have in common, to the extent that they would go out of their way to have a date with each other?
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Xiaoxiao completed the sign-in procedures and came to Wan Yiming.
Yang Xiaoxiao obviously knew Ding Youliang, and greeted him openly: "Ding Chu, we meet again."
The word "and" contains a lot of information.
It means that they have met before, and it should not be a particularly official occasion, otherwise Yang Xiaoxiao would not be so enthusiastic.
"Hello, Miss Yang."
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled delicately and took Wan Yiming's arm: "It's still early for activities, let's go upstairs and rest first."
Wan Yiming glanced at the room card: "2001, Director Ding, you have settled in. Come and sit in my room first?"
Yang Xiaoxiao seemed a little dissatisfied with Wan Yiming inviting people to their room at this time, and slightly shook Wan Yiming's arm in protest.
However, Wan Yiming didn't realize it, but smiled lightly and waited for Jiang Yue's reply.
Jiang Yue was surprised, how could it be such a coincidence.
I just found someone at random, but I didn't expect that he was so familiar with Wan Yiming and walked so close to him? Wan Yiming not only asked him to have a drink, but also asked him to sit in the room.
You know, this kind of young man with a girlfriend usually doesn't like others to get involved in his private life.
If Ming could not mind this at all and invite Ding Youliang to his room, then there must be something more important than romance.
Speaking of which, it’s hard to refuse.
At that moment, he pretended to hesitate and glanced at Yang Xiaoxiao: "Would it be inconvenient to disturb your two-person world?"
Wan Yiming laughed and said, "Just a few words, it won't take long."
"Okay, then I'll go back and visit."
After the decision was made, Jiang Yue stepped forward to sign in.
The sign-in procedure is not complicated. You need to register your ID, sign your name, get a souvenir, and then issue a room card.
Each person participating in the event will be assigned a room for rest.
After all, the event is still early, and the event will continue into the evening. Some people are unwilling to leave at night, so they must stay here for one night.
Jiang Yue swiped his card and entered the room.
The Baiyang Building was originally the Star City Hotel. It was renovated two years ago and turned into the Baiyang Hotel.
However, people in Star City are still accustomed to calling it Baiyang Building.
The renovated Baiyang Hotel is also a five-star hotel.
The room Ding Youliang was assigned was a deluxe single-bed room.
After Jiang Yue settled down, he sat on the sofa for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and made some assumptions about various situations in his mind.
Imagine the relationship between Ding Youliang and Na Wan Yiming, and whether there is any py transaction between them.
Jiang Yue guessed that the two were neither related nor related, and they were at least one round younger than each other. If there was any relationship, it must be related to Ding Youliang's position.
The Material Reserve Bureau is an absolutely popular department in Star City today.
With these mental preparations, Jiang Yue went to the elevator and pressed up to the 20th floor.
No. 2001, the entire floor is a luxury suite.
Sure enough, Deputy Manager Wan's son, even if his father is not involved, can still stand at the top of the food chain in Star City as long as he represents his father's identity.
This is evident in the arrangement of this suite.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang a few times, and Yang Xiaoxiao opened the door.
Although this girl had previously protested a little if Ding Youliang came to the room, but when he did come, Yang Xiaoxiao could not see the slightest displeasure on her face. Instead, she said with enthusiasm: "Ding Chu is here!"
Wan Yiming bowed slightly to express welcome, and then arranged for Jiang Yue to take a seat.
A suite is a suite, and the living room alone seems to be of high quality, which is completely different from Ding Youliang's single room.
"Ding Chu, what do you want to drink? Coffee, tea? Or a drink?"
"Ms. Yang, don't be so polite. A bottle of water is enough. It's not that particular."
"How can that be done? Isn't this a sign of neglect for a distinguished guest like Ding Chu?"
"It's really not that particular. Besides, at my age, drinking water is the best way to maintain my health." Jiang Yue pretended to be self-deprecating.
Yang Xiaoxiao didn't insist. She took two bottles of purified water and put them on the coffee table. Then she walked elegantly into the inner bedroom, gently closed the door, and signaled that she would not participate in the conversation between them.
This left Jiang Yue secretly speechless.
When Yang Xiaoxiao was in school, she was also a school beauty. As a school beauty, she has always had a good temper. Although she doesn't behave in a high-profile manner, she doesn't hang out with everyone.
Those who usually interact a lot are Han Jingjing, Du Yifeng and others.
I have some interactions with Jiang Yue, because Jiang Yue has the aura of being a top student and is good-looking.
Like other students, there are really not many that Yang Xiaoxiao can take seriously.
But who would have thought that Yang Xiaoxiao would be so gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable in front of Wan Yiming.
Sure enough, power is what shapes people the most.
It not only shapes people, but also tames them.
Wan Yiming had been observing Jiang Yue and said with a smile: "Ding Chu, I feel like you are a little distracted. Could it be that you have a crush on my girlfriend?"
Jiang Yue suddenly smiled bitterly: "Master Wan, I don't dare to make this joke. At my age, I can't bear this kind of fright."
"What's the point? Men, from childhood to old age, are very single-minded and like to look at young and beautiful girls. You, Ding Chu, are also a man. You like pretty and sexy girls. That's human nature!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm rude."
Wan Yiming seems to be very open-minded: "No need to explain to Ding Chu, they are all men, I understand."
Jiang Yue just smiled bitterly and stopped making excuses.
But at the same time, he also judged that Yang Xiaoxiao was scheming and trying to please her, but it was probably all in vain in the end.
Obviously, no woman can tie up a man like Wan Yiming.
No matter how virtuous and virtuous Yang Xiaoxiao is, she is just showing her charming eyes to a blind man.
Wan Yiming didn't care at all, and he didn't take Yang Xiaoxiao too seriously.
To be precise, women may not hold much weight in his eyes at all, no matter who the woman is.
Unless that woman was of great help to him, that was another matter.
Of course, this was Yang Xiaoxiao's choice, and Jiang Yue would naturally not take issue with him.
The fact that Yang Xiaoxiao was able to abandon her childhood friendship with Han Jingjing and change her family meant that she was not an easy person either.
To put it harshly, this is just contentment under the influence of power, everyone gets what they need.
"Ding Chu, do you know why I invited you over?"
"Please Wan Shao give me some advice."
Wan Yiming played with a lighter in his hand with a half-smile, and stared at Jiang Yue meaningfully: "Ding Chu, there are no outsiders here, so let's be honest."
"Master Wan, I, Old Ding, have a slow mind. I'll listen to you."
Wan Yiming was a little helpless. He obviously thought Jiang Yue was pretending, but he never expected that the person sitting opposite him was not Ding Youliang at all, but a fake.
He took out two cigarettes from the smoking box and scattered one cigarette to Jiang Yue.
The other one was held deftly in his mouth.
Obviously he had a lighter in his hand, and it was a expensive lighter, but he was not in a hurry to light it.
Jiang Yue immediately realized what the implication of this action was.
This is to wait for the other person to pick up the cigarette and then light it up.
Once Jiang Yue took the cigarette, according to etiquette, he must take the initiative to light it up for Wan Yiming.
Invisibly, this is actually a certification of status.
Once this tacit understanding is completed, it means that Yiming will take the initiative in tonight's conversation, and it is very likely to form a condescending advantage.
This is actually a subtle temptation and a subtle confrontation.
Jiang Yue didn't move or pick up the cigarette. Instead, he touched his throat and rubbed it deliberately a few times.
"I've had a few coughs in the past few days. The doctor has repeatedly ordered me to quit smoking. I hope you can smoke yours and don't worry about me."
Wan Yiming was secretly disappointed in his heart, but it was completely invisible on his face.
"Smoking is not something you can just quit. People who can really quit smoking are cruel people, and they are very cruel to themselves and others. Ding Chu, do you think you can quit?"
"It's not necessarily a warning. Let's give it a try first."
"It's better not to quit. Some things have great staying power. If quitting causes any side effects, the gains will outweigh the losses. Don't you think so, Ding Chu?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yue clearly realized that this was obviously not about quitting smoking.
This is what the words mean.
But the problem is, Jiang Yue has no idea what the other party is saying.
On the surface, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with quitting smoking.
Jiang Yue is basically certain that there must be some unknown py transactions between the two parties, and then there must be something wrong with the negotiations.
This is also the reason why Wan Yiming invites Ding Youliang to his room.
This is to use this private environment to create a conversation atmosphere to put pressure on Ding Youliang.
In order to cover up his embarrassment of not knowing the inside story, Jiang Yue picked up the bottled water and passed it on his hand for a while to make sure that the water had not been tampered with before unscrewing the cap and pretending to take a sip.
Wan Yiming seemed to be particularly sharp-eyed, and seemed to be specifically targeting Ding Youliang.
"Ding Chu, why are you so polite even when you drink water now? Or are you very reserved?"
"No, no, I have indeed been a little sick these past few days, which makes Wan Shao smile."
Wan Yi Ming sighed: "I can tell, Ding Chu, you are just going around in circles with me. If you go around in circles for another 300 times, I don't think you will take the initiative to let go."
"Then I'll open the skylight and speak frankly."
If Ming is a young man after all, he can't sit still after several attempts without getting the desired result.
Jiang Yue calmly played with the bottle of pure water.
"Director Ding, please show your respect. As long as you relax your hands a little, that batch of materials will be treated as spoiled and moldy and will be discarded. I will handle all the relevant testing procedures to ensure that you are watertight. All you need to do is to check the outbound documents. Just put a stamp on it. After the matter is completed, we will handle it according to the old rules. If Director Ding feels dissatisfied, the old rules can be flexible, as long as Director Ding counts. This is not a big deal for you, the chief of the Materials Management Department. It’s nothing, right? Nowadays, no one will tell you that it’s true.”
When Jiang Yue said this, he understood it instantly.
It turns out that this is Shuo Shu’s job.
This made Jiang Yue couldn't help but look down upon Wan Yiming.
I didn't expect that the dignified son of Deputy General Manager Wan would be so low-income. This is just bad money!
With his status, what could he do that would not make money? Do you need this?
However, Jiang Yue soon realized that things were not that simple. In this situation, it might not be about money.
Materials are now resources, and mastering resources means mastering the initiative.
Such a huge amount of information made Jiang Yue unable to respond accurately for a while, so he had to remain silent and pretend to be thinking deeply.
Wan Yiming did not urge him, but slowly advised him: "Chu Ding, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Every time we cooperated before, it was very smooth. It makes no sense for you to stop so suddenly, right? You have to give me some buffer." When the time comes, we can find other ways here, right? Washing hands in a golden basin is very touching, but once these hands are dirty, how can it be so easy to wash them clean? "
