Regardless of whether Wang Wenjin likes the other person or not, it can be seen from the choice of this Western restaurant that he really put a lot of thought into it. Although it is in the CBD in the city center and very close to the shopping mall, it is an independent courtyard and the surrounding area is very crowded. Quiet, a bit of a quiet place amidst the chaos.
There are many flowers of various colors planted in the yard outside. I don’t know what kind they are. Even though the weather is getting a little cold now, they are still in bud and ready to bloom. The flowers are colorful and colorful. In the night, under the background of the colorful light strips, it looks like Like a dream, several outdoor booths are placed among the flowers, with small canopies covering the booths. Dining in such an environment is indeed extremely romantic.
It's just that the temperature has been low these two days, so there aren't many people dining outside, and the seats they reserved are also inside the restaurant.
The interior decoration style of the restaurant is simple, not as magnificent as some Western restaurants. The warm-toned lighting makes people feel very comfortable, and the servers are also soft-spoken, like a spring breeze.
Although everything seemed to be fine, Quan Zhendong always felt that when dining on such an occasion, his whole body was tense, and he unconsciously spoke softly, as if a slightly louder voice would be incompatible with the current occasion.
Wang Wenjin obviously noticed Quan Zhendong's unnaturalness and asked with a smile:
"What? You're not used to eating in a place like this?"
"With my current salary, I probably won't be able to afford one meal here in a month."
Quan Zhendong spread his hands:
"Besides, I have a Chinese stomach and I am not used to eating Western food. Roadside barbecue may be more suitable for me."
"Actually, I don't like it either. There are too many rules, I'm not full, and the taste isn't necessarily that good. But many people think eating in a place like this will look very high-end."
While the two were chatting, they followed the waiter in trousers, vest, and bow tie into the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw a young man with a fair face who looked a bit like a recently popular star on a dining table by the window. He stood up and waved to them. , another man who looked slightly older than two years also sat and turned around because of his actions.
However, when the young man saw Wang Wenjin with Quan Zhendong beside him, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and he dropped his waving hand.
Come on, no need to look for it, just go over there.
Quan Zhendong touched his nose, thinking that the other party was a person, but he didn't expect that there were two people coming together. He just didn't know which one was the Goldman Sachs that Wang Wenjin mentioned.
Wang Wenjin smiled towards that side and walked towards him. He also got close to Quan Zhendong and whispered:
"The one sitting without standing up is Goldman Sachs. The other one is Qian Shaoqun, but you don't need to worry about him. He is a person I hate even more than Goldman Sachs."
Wang Wenjin's height is not short. Quan Zhendong is 1.8 meters tall, and Wang Wenjin is only half a head shorter than him. When he comes closer, he can see Wang Wenjin's hair by lowering his head, and the faint and fresh girly fragrance comes from the hair. , Quan Zhendong couldn't help but feel his heart beat, his heartbeat accelerated by half a beat, and he just felt a little fluffy in his heart.
However, his head did not stop turning. He knew that the fundamental reason why Wang Wenjin was unwilling to participate in this meal was not with Goldman Sachs, but with Qian Shaoqun. It is estimated that the person who pestered Wang Wenjin was Qian Shaoqun, and Goldman Sachs may have been with Qian Shaoqun. The Shaoqun had a close relationship, and they only got implicated after they were playing drums on the sidelines.
The interaction between Wang Wenjin and Quan Zhendong did not seem to be anything wrong in the eyes of the two parties involved, but in the eyes of others, it looked a bit like the intimate behavior between lovers. Qian Shaoqun's face suddenly became ugly. Even Goldman Sachs, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face. However, Goldman Sachs was more sophisticated than Qian Shaoqun and did not show any unpleasant expression, but his eyes were looking at Quan Zhendong without any scruples.
Quan Zhendong also noticed Goldman's gaze and didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and nodded at him.
Although Wang Wenjin didn't like these two people very much, they were really familiar with each other. They walked over without saying hello first, and directly pulled Quan Zhendong to sit down. However, before she could introduce him, Qian Shaoqun came to see him. Already asked angrily:
"Jenny, who is he? What does it have to do with you?"
Jenny was Wang Wenjin's name when he was abroad. Qian Shaoqun was called Wang Wenjin Jenny at this time. Apparently, he and Wang Wenjin also met when they were abroad. They were basically the same as Goldman Sachs. They were either classmates or alumni.
Originally, Wang Wenjin had something on his mind and was quite unhappy about what happened during the day. In addition, he had to attend an unwilling dinner in the evening, which made him feel a little bad. Suddenly, when faced with Qian Shaoqun's questioning, his face suddenly became completely stinky.
Because Wang Wenjin hated Qian Shaoqun more than Goldman Sachs, he chose the lesser of two evils. The four-person table sat on the side of the table next to Goldman Sachs. Quan Zhendong leaned on Qian Shaoqun. Now Qian Shaoqun pointed at his nose and asked, Although it's not necessarily anger, the embarrassment is real.
But you must know that Quan Zhendong was asked to help by Wang Wenjin. Quan Zhendong was expressionless at this time. It seemed to Wang Wenjin that he was obviously angry. This made her look a little confused and her tone of voice became a little higher:
"Qian Shaoqun, I don't seem to have invited you to dinner this time, right? Why are you here to join in the fun? I want to ask you, who are you? Do I need to inform you in advance and ask for your permission if I make friends with someone? agree?"
Before Quan Zhendong met Qian Shaoqun, he had never understood the description of his face turning green and red. But this time he had a real experience and saw Qian Shaoqun's face suddenly flush. Turning red, he looked at Wang Wenjin and then at Quan Zhendong. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he instantly turned white. That was wonderful.
Goldman Sachs on the side saw something was wrong and thought that this gathering was rare, so he immediately spoke up to smooth things over:
"Shaoqun, what do you think is wrong with you? Wenjin brought a friend over to have dinner together. Why are you anxious? Don't be angry Wenjin if people are laughing at you. It's not like you don't know Shaoqun's temper, too I care about you."
As he said this, he kept winking at Qian Shaoqun, hoping that he would apologize to Wang Wenjin and let the matter be over.
Although the anger on Qian Shaoqun's face was still there, he listened to Goldman Sachs' words and stopped talking. He sat down on the chair, folded his hands and looked at Quan Zhendong with hostility, but he did not apologize. the meaning of.
In fact, the relationship between Goldman Sachs and Qian Shaoqun is far better than others imagine. The two are cousins who have played together since childhood. However, Qian Shaoqun's family is good at doing business. He seized the right opportunity in his early years. When domestic freight forwarding first started, I started my business by being a freight forwarder. Although the freight forwarding industry is not very prosperous now, Qian Shaoqun's family has been doing it for many years and has become one of the best in the freight forwarding industry in Yongcheng.
After they had money, Qian Shaoqun's parents naturally had high hopes for their only son. They planned to send him abroad, but they were afraid that their son would be young and would not have anyone to take care of him abroad, so they sponsored him and Qian Shaoqun, who had been close friends since childhood. The good Goldman Sachs went abroad to study first. After Qian Shaoqun went abroad, Goldman Sachs, who had become accustomed to living abroad, naturally took good care of his cousin.
Of course, with Qian Shaoqun's ability, he could not go to a prestigious school like Goldman Sachs. He only went to a third-rate university. But because of his identity as a turtle, he met Wang Wenjin through Goldman Sachs.
Although Wang Wenjin's family has money, it is not easy to live abroad, and discrimination problems are not uncommon. Therefore, local international students are relatively good at grouping together and organizing organizations similar to hometown associations. Goldman Sachs also has a good impression of this beautiful school girl. But after Qian Shaoqun showed his love for Wang Wenjin, Goldman Sachs suppressed his good feelings and began to try his best to bring the two together.
Because Goldman Sachs considered that whether he studied abroad or developed in the future, he would inevitably rely on the support of Qian Shaoqun's family. Goldman Sachs, whose thinking was much more mature than Qian Shaoqun's, gave up thinking about Wang Wenjin.
In fact, even if Goldman Sachs chose to enter politics after returning to China, he did receive a lot of help from Qian Shaoqun's family.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wenjin's family is not short of money, and his financial situation is even better than that of Qian Shaoqun's family. Naturally, his morale will not be low. How could he like Qian Shaoqun, a good-for-nothing idiot, and face Qian Shaoqun? The group's constant entanglement made Goldman Sachs, who was originally quite appreciative, disgusted.
After graduating and returning to China, the two places were separated, and Qian Shaoqun had less entanglements. This time, there was really no other way, so Wang Wenjin thought of asking Goldman Sachs for help. He also told him in advance not to call Qian Shaoqun, and specifically called him. Quan Zhendong kept him company, but he didn't expect Qian Shaoqun to come anyway.
The atmosphere at the table became very stiff for a moment, and even the waiter wisely did not come over to ask about the order. Goldman Sachs did not want to completely mess up the meal, so he could only take the lead in reaching out to Quan Zhendong and said:
"Hello, I am Goldman Sachs from the Yongcheng Planning Bureau, and this is Qian Shaoqun, the vice president of Xincheng Logistics."
Goldman Sachs reported his unit, but not his position. The name of the Yongcheng Planning Bureau was much more famous than his deputy director at the deputy section level. He also introduced Qian Shaoqun as the vice president of a large enterprise. To some extent, we want to show that we are all high-end people and want Quan Zhendong to retreat in spite of difficulties.
But what is Quan Zhendong here for today? I'm just here to cooperate with Wang Wenjin as a tool, and according to Quan Zhendong's current expectations, I hope your meal can't go on today. It's good if I don't cause trouble for you. I don't care who you are.
So, I shook hands with Goldman Sachs and briefly introduced myself:
"I am Quan Zhendong."
The sentence "I am Quan Zhendong, great skill but not workmanship" sounds a bit like Wing Chun Ip Man.
As for Qian Shaoqun, who had a bad face, Quan Zhendong didn't even bother to talk to him. He was just a spoiled child at home.
Quan Zhendong was calm, confident and reserved, but his unassuming appearance made Goldman Sachs a little confused about Quan Zhendong's background for a while. However, if he thought that he could make friends with Wang Wenjin, it was unlikely that he would be a simple person, and judging from Quan Zhendong's The way he dressed and dressed looked like he was part of the system. It was not possible to use force to overwhelm others, so he became a little cautious for a while.
