At half past eleven, the meeting finally ended.
Tang Yiran stood up and shook hands with Du Jingsheng, and the matter was finalized.
Vitex voluntarily withdrew from the competition, and Tang Group needed to invest 180 million as feedback funds to make up for the early investment of manpower and material resources by Vitex Group.
This kind of thing is a cooperation between their two groups. Throughout the meeting, Bai Zhe spent his energy on listening to everyone's opinions.
Generally speaking, this 800 million can be regarded as Du Jingsheng's greatest sincerity. Naturally, Tang Yiran would not be too serious and handed over the contract smoothly.
She knew very well that Du Jingsheng did this all because of Bai Zhe's face.
If it weren't for Bai Zhe's early investment, let alone 1.8 billion, even if it was 1.8 billion, I guess Du Jingsheng wouldn't let it go easily.
"Director Tang, we don't need to go out to eat at noon today. In order to respond to the call for diligence and frugality, we will go to my office for a quick meal."
【Eat in the office? 】Tang Yiran was very confused. 【Is it because Du Jingsheng's temperament changed drastically and he stopped being special? 】
"As for the others, our vice president will accompany them to the canteen to eat."
Although Tang Yiran was confused in her heart, she remained calm on the surface. She nodded with a smile and said, "Let Mr. Du arrange everything."
It would be better to go to the office to eat, so that Bai Zhe can obtain information more easily.
If they were going to a canteen or eating outside, they would probably have to worry about how to get Du Jingsheng to take them to the office. In that case, the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, and there may not be a suitable opportunity to take action.
Tang Yiran and Bai Zhe followed the enthusiastic Du Jingsheng to the office on the floor below, and then they solved Tang Yiran's doubts.
[No wonder he suggested coming to the office for dinner. It turns out that his office area is so big! 】
When they stepped out of the elevator, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.
It can be said that Du Jingsheng's office area alone occupies more than half of the entire building area. Except for two glass partitions next to it as the secretary's office, the rest is Du Jingsheng's activity area.
To be honest, as an old director of a private enterprise group, I don't dare to enjoy this kind of treatment. It is really wasteful to do so.
A large office is divided into three activity areas inside and outside by glass walls. The first area is the reception area, the next one is a small conference room, and the innermost one is Du Jingsheng's private space.
In the conference room and reception room, there are luxurious wine cabinets, coffee machines, tea bar machines, refrigerators, dining tables and other furnishings, making it a perfect place for private dining.
According to Bai Zhe's guess, Du Jingsheng's safe must be in the innermost office.
However, Bai Zhe felt relieved when he saw that the glass wall was covered by blinds.
In this way, at least the outside can't see what's going on inside, making it easier to do some private things.
After the two of them sat down, Du Jingsheng specifically asked his secretary to get the menu.
Looking back, Du Jingsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a professional private chef. You can choose whatever you want to eat, and I guarantee it will suit both of you."
Tang Yiran smiled politely and said: "Mr. Du, you are too polite. Just arrange a casual meal. It doesn't need to be so troublesome."
"Hey, what Director Tang said is wrong. You and Mr. Bai are distinguished guests of our Zhongxing Group. What can you do if you don't eat well?"
At this time, the secretary brought the menu, and Du Jingsheng took it and handed it to Tang Yiran.
"Come on, you two can discuss what to eat."
After speaking, he turned to the secretary and whispered: "Go and bring the Lafite that Director Zhang sent last time."
The secretary nodded and walked back inside.
"Ms. Tang, let's drink some red wine, what do you think?"
Tang Yiran raised her head and said, "Anything is fine."
[This Du Jingsheng is so enthusiastic, it’s really a headache. 】
Bai Zhe didn't raise his head, and the corners of his mouth were just slightly raised.
Du Jingsheng did this just to tie Bai Zhe tightly and make plans for the future.
In addition, when Tang Group gets Nokia's investment, there are still many things that need to be done through Tang Group, which invisibly adds a firewall to itself.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Du Jingsheng is so enthusiastic.
The menu is dazzling, and the style of the dishes is no less than that of a high-end restaurant.
Among them, crabs, prawns, scallops, and abalone are the most common ones. It can be imagined that these ingredients must be fresh to ensure the taste. If Du Jingsheng does not eat for a day, all the things he prepared will have to be thrown away and purchased again.
Just now, Tang Yiran was still doubting that Du Jingsheng was trying to save money, but now that she thinks about it, she can't help but feel dumbfounded.
Even though she knew that these ingredients would be a waste if not eaten, Tang Yiran still didn't know what to eat, so she simply pushed the menu in front of Bai Zhe, leaving the choice in Bai Zhe's hands.
She has difficulty making choices, and she has to find someone with a strong opinion to do the ordering.
Bai Zhe made a decision immediately and ordered a Russian sausage, a beef tenderloin with braised bamboo shoots, and a spoonful of shrimp paste and fish roe soup.
Just three dishes and one soup, at least it won’t be too wasteful.
Seeing the dishes Bai Zhe ordered, Du Jingsheng gave Bai Zhe a thumbs up: "Mr. Bai really has a good eye. Every dish you order can be said to be the specialty of the private chef."
Then he took the red wine brought by the secretary and handed over the menu.
Looking at the label, it turned out that what he was holding was a Lafite from 1982. Bai Zhe couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The General Manager and Party Secretary of Zhongxing Group in front of him is really extravagant now, and the extravagance he inadvertently reveals is astonishing.
One meal can easily cost hundreds of thousands. Which leader dares to do this?
The secretary delivered the orders, and when he came back, he served some exquisite appetizers for the three of them. He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth. The fragrance of cinnamon overflowed, and it was soft, glutinous and refreshing.
Needless to say, this was specially prepared by Du Jingsheng's senior pastry chef for the general manager's office. It is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary people to have this kind of taste.
"Mr. Bai, are you satisfied with how you handled yesterday's matter?"
[You acted for Li Xian’s son yesterday. Did you want to draw Li Xian against me? Did you do something about the slate? 】
Du Jingsheng's casual words immediately aroused Bai Zhe's alert.
This guy never gave up coveting the stone slab. Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, he tried to get some useful information from Bai Zhe.
But it's a pity that Bai Zhe is not the kind of silly and sweet person who can shake off his old bottom with just his mouth.
However, this question is not as easy to answer as it sounds. First of all, it must not arouse Du Jingsheng's suspicion and let him know that he is secretly helping Li Xian to fight against him. Secondly, he must show his attitude and will never harm his good deeds behind his back. .
You know, Bai Zhe can speak ill of his opponent in front of him, and he can also speak ill of his opponent in front of him.
Therefore, Bai Zhe had better treat everyone equally during this meal and choose neutrality. Otherwise, it would be easy to fall into his trap.
Bai Zhe pretended to be stunned, then smiled lightly and said, "Speaking of this, I have to thank you for helping me. Come here, let me toast you."
Bai Zhe's answer was impeccable, he pretended to be stupid, and perfectly changed the topic to the other person helping him, which made Du Jingsheng anxious but unable to start.
The two wine glasses clinked lightly, making a pleasant crisp sound.
Du Jingsheng took a sip and put down the glass, looked up at Bai Zhe and said, "Mr. Bai, you are too polite. We have a gentleman's agreement. You can ask me for help because you think highly of me, Du Jingsheng, so I should thank you."
The hidden mystery in his words was clear to Bai Zhe. The key point was a gentleman's agreement. In turn, he had to thank himself. It was better to use the 5 billion he helped him earn. If Bai Zhe accepted this thank you, he would have a plan. Waiting for myself.
So Bai Zhe can't be fooled. His mission today is very clear, which is to find out the location where the data is stored and the password to the safe. How can he successfully complete the task without some skills.
After listening to Du Jingsheng's words, Bai Zhe smiled generously and said: "Haha, Mr. Du, you are too polite. I just helped you with a little help. Please don't take it to heart. Although I helped you, you already returned the favor yesterday. , so we’re even, we don’t owe each other anything, how about that?”
"How about that? You haven't confiscated the money I gave you last time. In this way, I will ask the secretary to bring you the card later. You must accept it this time."
After hearing Du Jingsheng's words, Bai Zhe did not answer immediately but looked at Tang Yiran. Tang Yiran raised her head and looked around cooperatively.
Du Jingsheng immediately understood what the two of them meant, and laughed and said: "Please rest assured, you can speak freely. It is guaranteed to be absolutely safe here. There is no surveillance or eavesdropping."
Bai Zhe finally had a chance to lay the hook, so he leaned over and whispered to Du Jingsheng: "Mr. Du, I have to praise you. You are busy with official duties all day long, and so many people are looking at you. The office is such an important place, But you must put safety first.”
As he spoke, Bai Zhe patted the back of Du Jingsheng's hand very affectionately to show his concern.
When it comes to safety issues, Du Jingsheng immediately forgets about the slate and immediately thinks in his heart [I heard recently that Sanyang is not at peace. I have been targeted by some people with ulterior motives. Bai Zhe is right. , there are so many important things in my office that must not be leaked. Fortunately, I locked all the valuable information in the safe and hid it in a secret room that is difficult for others to detect. As long as I don’t touch the foot of the desk Mechanism, no one will discover it. 】
Unexpectedly, with just a few words from Bai Zhe, Du Jingsheng's mind went full circle and revealed so much information.
Bai Zhe tried his best to digest it and quickly memorized the most concise parts. He just looked into Du Jingsheng's eyes and nodded slightly.
When Du Jingsheng heard this, he knew what Bai Zhe was worried about, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of it, but I still say that you must take the money to show my respect for Mr. Bai." Thanks, ah.”
[As long as you take the money, things will be easier to handle. I'm not afraid that you will stab me in the back. 】
Bai Zhe sat back with a smile: "Since Mr. Du insists so much, I have no choice but to accept it reluctantly, but I still feel that I, Bai Zhe, am so virtuous and capable. I really deserve to receive such a great favor from you. I have to accept it." If not, you can lock it in your safe for me first, and I can pick it up another day when it's more convenient."
