Chapter 605 Unexpected
Shi Xiangnan has been in the business world for decades and started doing business when he was a teenager.
In the 1980s, he was one of the first self-employed people to sell pirated tapes in Xiuzhou. At that time, as long as he went south to buy goods once, he could easily sell out all the pirated tapes when he came back. In less than a year, he became a household worth ten thousand yuan.
Later, he also resold electronic watches, clothing and other commodities, and slowly accumulated his first pot of gold.
Later, after joining the WTO, he caught up with the good opportunity and established a trading company, and really started to make a fortune. In more than ten years, he accumulated hundreds of millions of net worth.
These are all things he started from scratch and worked hard on his own, and he has always been proud of them.
In addition to having a successful career, he also married a very virtuous and good wife. She worked hard with him in his career when he was young. Later, after having children, she returned to the family to be a full-time wife, taking care of the elderly and children. , husband and wife.
His family is also very happy.
Therefore, Shi Xiangnan has always been the envy and jealousy of others.
But in fact, Shi Xiangnan is not very satisfied with his life. The main reason is that he feels that the status of a billionaire like himself is not high or low, which is very embarrassing.
Although he is a formal member of the Xiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, that's all. Compared to those small businessmen, he is relatively successful, but compared to those big businessmen, he is really average.
In addition, he does not have an official title, such as so-and-so represents such-and-such committee member. This is mainly determined by his somewhat noble character.
But in fact, in front of some specific people, he is not arrogant. For example, in front of Xiuzhou local tycoons like Sun Yanhong, he has nothing to be arrogant and can completely put down his airs. , willing to be my younger brother.
He has been in business for many years. Sometimes he must be very face-conscious, but more often, he is completely shameless for money and interests. This is the basic quality of being a "successful businessman".
It’s just that he was used to living his own small life in the past, and the company’s business has always been very good, so he doesn’t have to go out of his way to run the business and please those people.
Now that his company is about to close down, his family can't just sit there and have nothing.
So, he naturally let go of his aloof temper and worked hard to find and manage the connections he needed so that he could find new ways to make money.
Sun Yanhong is the thickest leg he has found so far, and he must hug her tightly.
He went to bed early that night, and then got up early the next day to wash up, put on the clothes he was most satisfied with, and carefully combed his long back hair, sprayed it with mousse to set it, and played with it. It took ten minutes to get out of the bathroom.
After eating the breakfast that his wife Jiang Duanxiang had just prepared, he read the newspaper for a while and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning. He then cautiously called Sun Yanhong and said that he would be there soon. It was time to leave for an appointment and asked her if she had already gone.
As a result, Sun Yanhong told him that she had arrived at Guyun Tea House half an hour ago. She had not arrived at 7:30 and the tea house had not officially opened yet. She only called the tea house owner directly and the tea house opened early.
Now she is in the private room of Jade Pavilion on the second floor of the teahouse.
Sun Yanhong ran to the teahouse to wait so eagerly, which shows how much she cares about Chen Feng.
Shi Xiangnan couldn't help but feel emotional about this, and even felt a little envious of Chen Feng.
It is true that Sun Yanhong is a romantic, but to be honest, she is indeed a beauty. Even though she is a little older, in her forties, she has always taken good care of herself, and with beauty and make-up, she does not appear to be beautiful. How old she is, only adds to the charm of a mature woman. This one is liked by many people.
In fact, Shi Xiangnan also likes this one better. When he planned to follow Sun Yanhong's path, he was prepared to sacrifice his looks from the beginning. After all, he can be considered a middle-aged handsome guy.
Tall and well-maintained, his appearance is elegant and handsome.
Although he is a few years older than Sun Yanhong, he feels that he is more than good enough for her, not to mention that Sun Yanhong is well known for her romantic reputation. If something happens between the two of them, he should be the one who suffers the most.
Unfortunately, Sun Yanhong didn't seem to be interested in this handsome old guy, and she was obsessed with Chen Feng.
This made him feel a little frustrated and lost, and at the same time he was naturally a little jealous of Chen Feng. This was also an important factor in why he became a little angry after being rejected by Chen Feng at Liu Ying's place yesterday.
Shi Xiangnan learned that Sun Yanhong was already waiting there. Of course he couldn't sit at home anymore, so he immediately went out and drove over to keep the appointment.
His home is also in Hongshu Bay, which is only about ten minutes' drive from the ancient tea house. He went there almost an hour early, not because he respected Chen Feng more, but because he wanted to serve Sun Yanhong well.
This meeting between him and Chen Feng was originally arranged by Sun Yanhong behind his back.
When he arrived at the place and parked the car, he immediately went into the teahouse, found the private room of Cuiyu Pavilion, and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
After Sun Yanhong's voice came from inside, Shi Xiangnan pushed the door open and entered.
Besides Sun Yanhong, there was also a beautiful middle-aged woman in the private room. She was in her forties, intellectual, dignified, and very attractive.
Shi Xiangnan smiled and nodded to the two women. Just when he was about to say something, Sun Yanhong asked directly: "Have you contacted him? When will he come over?"
What Sun Yanhong said Of course he was Chen Feng. Shi Xiangnan quickly He reflected and said: "It's only around eight o'clock now, I will contact him later."
Sun Yanhong frowned with some dissatisfaction and said: "You can contact him now, there is no need to stay here with me. . Please notify me when he arrives.”
Shi Xiangnan didn't dare to disobey, so he could only smile and nod repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go out and contact him right away, and I'll let you know when I get there."
Sun Yanhong nodded quietly and said yes.
Shi Xiangnan originally wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the intellectual middle-aged woman, but after being tricked by Sun Yanhong, of course he had no choice but to go out first.
After he walked out of the private room and closed the door again, Zhou Qianru, who was sitting opposite Sun Yanhong, couldn't help but smile and said: "This man doesn't look young anymore. Do you need to take him in as your younger brother?"
Sun Yanhong said in a casual tone: "This person is not a good person, but he is temporarily useful to me, so I will use it first."
Zhou Qianru shook her head and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, she said with a hint of ridicule: "In all the years we have known each other, this is the first time I have seen you get up so early. You got up at around six o'clock and then drove there in person for more than half an hour. Here. I said you won’t be serious this time, right?”
Sun Yanhong smiled bitterly: “I want to be serious, but others won’t play with you. What should I do to impress him?”
Hearing this, Zhou Qianru rolled her eyes angrily and said rudely: "You have much more experience in this area than me. What's the use of asking me?" Sun Yanhong was not angry, but said with a smile: " Aren't you a professor? You are knowledgeable."
Zhou Qianru became even more upset when she heard this: "I am not a professor, but an associate professor. My knowledge is only in art."< br>
Sun Yanhong laughed and said: "You are so serious about it. I have always felt that with your temperament, you are more suitable to be a lawyer, not a professor, or an art professor."
Zhou Qianru corrected again: "Associate professor of art."
"Okay, my associate professor of art, I have just told you about his general situation. What do you think I can do to impress a man like him?"
"I To be honest, you can't impress him. Zhou Qianru said straightforwardly, "First of all, he should have learned something about you from Liu Meijun. To be honest, your external reputation is not good; secondly, he is not short of money, and he is so much younger than you. According to common sense, He basically doesn't Maybe he likes you; thirdly, according to what you said, the first impression you gave him was very bad."
"You are so unforgiving, can't you say something nice? ?" Sun Yanhong said a little dissatisfied and frustrated.
Zhou Qianru said with a hint of arrogance: "I'm just telling the truth. If you want to hear lies and flattery, find someone else."
"Oh, it's really strange for you to say this." Sun Yanhong shook her head. Tou said, “I suddenly fell in love with him, and then all of a sudden I lost interest in other men. Interest. But in fact, besides being handsome and having some money, I really don’t know what I like about him? I’m very surprised and confused this time.” He did not mock her, but comforted her: "Maybe this is fate. I was the first The first time I saw you and got to know you, I suddenly felt that we could be friends for life. And now we have been friends for more than ten years."
Sun Yanhong said with a smile. Your metaphor is not bad. Sometimes people are really magical. Strange. I am now thinking about how to make Chen Feng my friend. This is the first step. I will be satisfied if I can achieve this first step."
Zhou Qianru said with a smile: "You can think so. That’s right, let’s take it step by step, let’s start by being friends.”
The two women were chatting and laughing, and time passed quickly. Another half hour passed before they knew it.
Just when Sun Yanhong was wondering why there was no news from Shi Xiangnan, she thought about taking the initiative to ask, but the news from Shi Xiangnan was finally sent.
Jin Yongnian has already arrived, and Chen Feng has also set off. He will be there in about ten minutes at the fastest.
Sun Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the news. Before that, she was a little worried that Chen Feng would suddenly not come.
After about ten minutes passed, Chen Feng arrived as expected.
Shi Xiangnan immediately sent the news to Sun Yanhong, which made her a little nervous. She immediately asked Zhou Qianru in front of her: "Qianru, you think I will go out later, how should I talk to him?"< br>
Hearing this, Zhou Qianru couldn’t help but feel angry. It was funny again. She put her hand on her forehead and said, "Your nervousness is nothing like you. People who don't know better would think that he is your first love."
Sun Yanhong couldn't help but give her a serious look. Said: "I invited you here to help me make suggestions, not to be cold. Laughing at me coldly."
"I didn't mean to laugh at you, but the way you are worrying about gains and losses is really not like you at all. You are Sun Yanhong, the one who plays with men. A woman who has a boyfriend from time to time. This man named Chen Feng is divorced and was dumped by his wife. What do you have to worry about? It’s his loss that he doesn’t like you. You don’t need to care about him so much.”
These words seemed to be encouraging, but they were also sarcastic, making Sun Yanhong feel dumbfounded.
"Well, after listening to what you said, I suddenly decided to break the rules and be myself, as I should be."
Zhou Qianru smiled and said: "That's right. Do it. Let others speak for yourself."
Sun Yanhong felt uncomfortable hearing this.
At the same time, in a tea seat by the window on the second floor, Chen Feng and Jin Yongnian were sitting in a row, and Shi Xiangnan was sitting opposite each other.
"Lao Shi, since Chen Feng is here, let's just get down to business." Jin Yongnian said simply, "I will be a middleman, and you can pour Chen Feng a cup of tea now, and then we can Apologize to him and the misunderstanding between you and him will be over.”
Of course Shi Xiangnan was reluctant to pour tea and apologize to Chen Feng, but he couldn't refuse. Sun Yanhong had asked him to apologize to Chen Feng from the beginning.
It's just that it's hard for him to accept that he has to do this. Besides, it would be better if it can be avoided.
"Lao Jin, this is a matter between Chen Feng and I, so please stop interfering. Chen Feng, what do you think?"
After saying this, Shi Xiangnan looked at him with a smile. Chen Feng. I look forward to Chen Feng being able to take the initiative and skip the process of pouring tea and apologizing.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng had no such intention. His expression remained unchanged and he asked in a neutral tone: "Didn't you invite Uncle Jin to come forward and ask him to make peace? Why don't you admit it now? ”
Shi Xiangnan's face stiffened, and he explained with a dry smile: "I just asked him to invite you out, let me have a good talk with you, and resolve the misunderstanding. I didn't mean to ask him to do anything to make peace."
When Jin Yongnian heard his words of burning bridges, he was of course very angry and just about to speak, Chen Feng was very rude and said to Shi Xiangnan: "So, you didn't invite me out this time to apologize to me? Then what do you want to do?"
Shi Xiangnan looked very unhappy when he questioned him face to face. Good-looking, he can be considered his elder after all. Do you talk to your elders like this?
Just when he was about to reprimand Chen Feng, Sun Yanhong's voice sounded from behind: "Lao Shi invited you out this time just to apologize to you, including me. I also want to apologize to you. You apologize."
As she spoke, Sun Yanhong walked over naturally, sat down next to Shi Xiangnan, and looked at Chen Feng across the tea seat.
Sun Yanhong's sudden appearance was somewhat surprising to Chen Feng. He really didn't expect her to come at first.
However, considering that she had been ruthlessly rejected by him several times before when she asked him out, and now that there is a ready opportunity to meet him, it is strange that she can let it go.
Chen Feng just stared at her for a few seconds and then looked away, then looked at Zhou Qianru who was following Sun Yanhong just now.
At first, he didn’t pay much attention to this intellectual middle-aged woman, and neither did the other party.
But soon both of them looked startled. They were two or three meters away, some were staring at each other, and they were speechless for a moment.
A memory that felt a little distant suddenly came to Chen Feng's mind.
Zhou Qianru’s sudden appearance was completely unexpected for Chen Feng at this moment.
