"How is the situation over there at Lao Sha?"
In the end, it was Ning Weimin's initiative to ask Zhang Shihui that woke him up from his one-sided imagination.
"Ah, oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten to talk about the important things. I was temporarily arranged to stay in the reception room of those old masters. This old man actually brought his wife here today. His face is also stained. , with a sticking plaster on it, it looked like the couple was having an quarrel. Let my wife catch you. But this guy seems to have prepared a big gift for you. It seems that he wants to ask you something important. Lao Sha also emphasized to me that he made an appointment with you. Look, he seems a little anxious. When do you plan to meet?”
Ning Weimin rubbed his brows and said calmly, "No, I'm not going to see him for the time being. Let him wait. I can probably guess the reason for his coming. It's just for Mr. Song and Mr. Zou's intention to reform the company. , It’s about eliminating the company’s shortcomings. Lao Sha is now considered a worm in the company. He has been living comfortably for too long and is suddenly not adaptable to the ecological changes. This is probably because he hopes to pull me out. "
"Both?"
Zhang Shihui thought for a while and said, somewhat deliberately to please, "Then... if you don't want to see him and feel embarrassed. Otherwise... I will help you get rid of him..."
Zhang Shihui thought he was anxious, but Ning Weimin shook his head.
"Hey, that's not what I meant. Lao Sha also has the advantages of Lao Sha. He has a wide network of people, he has friends everywhere, and his brain is flexible. There is no loophole that he can't exploit, and there is no place that he can't exploit. People say Human words, ghosts and ghosts, He can take advantage of everything. Such a "little kid" is also a talented person. Having a friend like him will be very convenient in many things. To be honest, when Pierre Cardon was just starting out, his contribution to the company was huge. Quite a lot. It's just a pity that now The company has developed to a certain scale, and the internal requirements have changed. He still sticks to the original routine, which has become an obstacle to the company. Lao Sha's biggest problem is that he is too shrewd. company now. The plate is big, and if he is allowed to continue doing this, the cost hole will get bigger and bigger. No one who is the head of the company can just sit back and ignore this situation, but he still can't see through this. It’s called stubbornness..."
Listening to Ning Weimin's comments that seemed to be encouraging him, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but lower his head and think.
There was just something that made him more curious. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Then... do you want to help him?"
"Let's see first and then talk." Ning Weimin smiled faintly, "It's not that easy to ask for help. If you get it too easily, you won't cherish it. And Lao Sha's piece of shit is the most philistine. I have to see if he has any Sincerity, let’s see if he does it I have to figure out whether my situation is worth helping him. Besides, I have to think carefully about how to help. Besides, you know, I do have more important guests to receive. I have to see you soon, and the Temple of Heaven As a deputy director, I don’t want people to wait for me for too long. As expected, the old director will retire this year. It’s only natural that the old director would like this deputy to take over. I can’t do it today. So I neglect others. I'll see people from the Cultural Relics Bureau later. Please help me quickly invite the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven Park. Don't let anyone misunderstand me. As for Lao Sha, please give me a message first. Let him wait patiently..."
"Hey, okay. Then I'll help you clean up, and then go to the front to make arrangements."
As Zhang Shihui spoke, he poured hot water into Ning Weimin's tea cup, emptied the ashtray in the room, and wiped the coffee table that had water droplets on it.
He was quite discerning and knew that what Ning Weimin wanted to discuss in this room were important matters that could not be told outside. There was no waiter to serve him here, so he took the initiative to lend a hand.
As expected, Ning Weimin felt quite comfortable with such a proactive and low-profile act to please.
Although he didn't say thank you, he obviously felt a lot closer to him and seemed to want to chat with him more.
"Shi Hui, if this matter about Lao Sha is brought upon you, what will you do?"
"I, for sure, would not be happy either. From a personal point of view, it is hard for anyone to accept this kind of thing. Regardless of whether I have done something wrong or not, I actually understand Lao Sha emotionally. But fortunately I am not him , I haven’t done that many things to enrich myself. At most, I just eat and drink at Tan Palace and use our cigarette shop to make some money to purchase goods. What’s more, I have you to help me. , this kind of thing will not happen to me.”
Zhang Shihui smiled, his words were really not a pure compliment.
After all, Ning Weimin arranged for Du Yang to go to Chengde for him. He has always kept this unremitting support and trust in his heart.
Moreover, Ning Weimin has become a shareholder of Pierre Cardon, and he is not unaware of it.
Now that he has such thighs to hug, what else does he have to worry about?
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin said, "Me? What if I let you leave the position of Tan Palace?"
"This..."
Zhang Shihui was stunned by the sudden words.
He didn't know whether Ning Weimin was joking or serious. His eyes kept wandering for a long time, and he became more and more convinced that Ning Weimin's opinion of Manager Sha just now was not just a casual comment.
"Then what should we do? What do you mean?"
Zhang Shihui sighed dejectedly and acted like a bachelor.
"Anyway, you gave me this position. You'd rather take it away. It's just a matter of words. I will definitely obey unconditionally."
However, after a few heroic words, the sales started to turn miserable again.
"But...but why? Weimin, are you trying to scare me? I'm not worried about anything. With all my conscience, I really don't dare to do anything wrong. Who was jealous and stabbed me? Or do you think I'm not okay? Are you interested in Tan Palace? You can’t just believe it! ...Why are you laughing? Do you really have the heart to see your brother become a laughing stock in other people's eyes? To be clear, I'm not afraid of losing my job, I'm afraid of being embarrassed. My wife told me, you, you..."
"What are you? I was just asking, I didn't say I really wanted to jerk you off."
Seeing his reaction, Ning Weimin quickly explained.
But what follows is actually a kind of warning, obviously giving Zhang Shihui an early vaccination.
"Of course, I won't lie to you. You can't say for sure what will happen in the future. As the old saying goes, if morality is not matched, there will be disaster. This is true for Lao Sha, and it is true for us. If any company wants to develop, it must We need new blood and more capable talents, just like human metabolism, no one is irreplaceable, sooner or later. , we will also become a hindrance to the development of the company and the palace. Have you thought about this problem? So I am not afraid that you will not like to hear it. I have to tell you the truth. We will really become an obstacle to the company. One day, not only you, but also me, for the good of the company and the good of the palace, have to step aside.”
"What? Company obstacles?"
Zhang Shihui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Are you kidding? I may have this day. How did you get to this point? You are a shareholder of Pierre Cardin. What's more, you opened up Tan Palace's situation overseas. , even the deputy director came to wish you New Year greetings, how could you..."
"You are right, but have you ever thought about it? Just because I am a shareholder, in order to get more dividends and for the company to develop better, I hope to make the best use of my talents. Otherwise, I It’s not that you can’t live with yourself.”
Looking at Zhang Shihui's stunned face again, it seemed that it was the first time that he considered such a practical issue from this perspective, and he was a little scared.
Ning Weimin couldn't help but regain his serious look, patted his shoulder and comforted him again.
"Just talk about it casually now, don't take this problem too seriously. What's more, even if we leave, what will happen? For us, what we lose is just a job. Let me tell you , leaving also has its advantages. One day, we may not be unhappy, believe it or not..."
Don't say it, these words reassured Zhang Shihui.
If nothing else, the most important point is that the "we" in Ning Weimin's words reveals the meaning of advancing together and retreating together.
Of course, Zhang Shihui knew clearly whether it was a job in Pierre Cardon and the position of manager of Tan Palace that could provide him with security, or a friend like Ning Weimin, who was more beneficial to his future.
As long as Ning Weimin is still willing to take him with him, what should he worry about?
What's more, I have known Ning Weimin for so long. Even though Ning Weimin has been mixed up to this point, he has never done anything like being a friend, let alone an old friend like Zhang Shihui who has been with him all the way.
Even his old colleagues from the Chongwenmen Hotel also went to the Pierre Cardon Building to work as professionals thanks to him.
Also, although Ning Weimin doesn't go back to Shan'er Hutong very much anymore.
But this time when I came back, I still invited my old neighbors to have dinner at Tan Palace and gave them generous New Year gifts.
As the person in charge of Tan Gong Restaurant, Zhang Shihui saw all this clearly.
He absolutely trusted Ning Weimin's character.
So once he understood this, he immediately felt calm and no longer worried, "Okay. As long as you say this. Anyway, I, Lao Zhang, will believe you if you don't believe others. I don't like to think about things that are too complicated. Anyway, Whatever you say, we’ll do whatever you want. Whether you want to stay or go, I’ll listen to you. I don’t have any opinion.”
Ning Weimin also felt very relieved and patted Zhang Shihui's shoulder with his hand just as he was about to say a few words.
At this moment, Luo Guangliang came back with three people in coats.
As soon as they entered the house, the leader of those three days came straight towards Ning Weimin. Before he arrived, he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Ning, Happy New Year to you. I am the leader of the bureau and I am here to wish you a happy New Year. A small gift is not a sign of respect." Ning Weimin ignored Zhang Shihui and extended his hand in response.
"Hey, I don't dare take it seriously. Director Liu, just think that I am giving you New Year greetings. Why are you so polite?"
"Don't say that. The dozen or so things you sent back this time are very precious. After expert evaluation, almost all of them are precious cultural relics, and only two are ordinary cultural relics. So the leader of our bureau sent me to confront them. Thank you. I know you don't care about false reputations, and you don't like red tape. But if we don't ask for it. It would be too embarrassing for a patriotic person like you, who has made long-term free donations and has social responsibility and responsibility, to express your deep respect in person. In addition, our leaders also have a request, hoping that you can attend an event about cultural relics lost overseas after the year. seminar, I wonder if you..."
As for Zhang Shihui, she was not dissatisfied at all because of being ignored. On the contrary, she felt more at ease after hearing these words.
That's right, if he doesn't trust others, how can he not trust Ning Weimin.
Although Ning Weimin has been abroad for several years, the time they spend together is getting less and less every year.
And because of the gap in identity and experience, the way they get along with each other has also changed greatly.
The affiliation is becoming more and more clear, and they are no longer as close as brothers as before.
But Ning Weimin is a good friend, and this has never changed.
Apart from anything else, I can buy so many precious cultural relics and donate them for nothing. What is the character of such a person?
Donated not only hundreds of thousands but also millions, right? Maybe there are millions.
Therefore, Zhang Shihui absolutely believed that Ning Weimin would never let him suffer.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Even if one day he really doesn't let himself do it, he must have other plans.
Yes, Ning Weimin is such a capable person. For a person like him, what if he leaves Pilkington?
No matter where you are, you are sure to thrive.
What he has to do is to follow suit and follow closely.
As long as we don't fall behind, we will have a bright future.
………………
In the reception room, Manager Sha's wife Yao Lihua was very surprised by her surroundings.
Since Manager Sha spends a lot of time outside with colorful flags flying, he rarely takes her to attend social events and activities.
She was not able to accompany Manager Sha to attend Ning Weimin's wedding last time, so she had never experienced real wealth personally and seriously lacked a correct understanding.
It should be said that before coming here this time, her imagination of wealth mostly came from the images of rich people in Hong Kong movies.
I think Ning Weimin, who I have never met before, is probably like in the most popular movie in Hong Kong, using a gold lighter or even US dollars to light cigarettes.
After all, Manager Sha has a gold lighter that he learned from Mr. Ning.
After the results came, I was shocked just by looking at the waiter's clothes in front of the Yunyuan gate.
Following the second gate, I took a rough look at the layout of the dazzling pavilions and pavilions inside. I felt dazzled and didn't know where to appreciate it.
After entering the house, even though this room was just a place used by Yun Yuan to entertain ordinary guests, she was still stunned and didn't know where to admire it. It was like Grandma Liu's feeling when she entered the Grand View Garden.
This is no exaggeration. Although the living room is small, it can fully reflect the owner's aesthetics, financial resources, and even cultural style.
First of all, the winter in Beijing is really cold.
However, the room was heated by a heater, but it was extremely warm, without the smoke and smoke of a coal stove.
And there were actually flowers in the room, except for a few pots of daffodils that were relatively common in Beijing.
On the flower tables in several corners of the house, there are actually fragrant green leaves and colorful daphne.
So much so that entering this room feels so comfortable.
The warm air blows on the face, and the body is mixed with the fragrant fragrance of flowers, which penetrates the sleeves and is refreshing.
Secondly, the whole house has a solemn style, with tiles all over the floor, clear windows, and exquisite furniture.
A dozen Taishi chairs are arranged in two groups in the room against two long walls, separated by the Eight Immortals table.
There is also a dedicated waiter in the house who is responsible for pouring tea and water for guests and cleaning up debris and garbage.
This kind of magnificence is not something that ordinary people can usually come into contact with.
Not only that, even the hospitality items are prepared extremely thoughtfully.
In addition to the four necessary fragrant tea bowls, each Eight Immortals table also has five trays.
There are not only pastries, fruits, candied melons, but also cigarettes and assorted snacks.
The cigarettes are made by Peony from China and Marlboro from the United States.
The so-called mixed snacks are snacks that are mixed with some dried fruits and tea.
In the past, when there were no Western-style candies, this stuff was the most popular New Year food among children and women.
In the new year, you should be cheerful, and the color of Zabaner highlights this point.
The red ones are hawthorn cake and red dates, the green ones are green plums and melon strips, the golden ones are open smiles and jujubes, and the pink ones are peach preserves and walnut dip.
In addition, there are black melon seeds, white melon seeds, large and small peanut kernels, dried peaches, dried pears, dried apricots, raisins, dried apples, golden soup, rice krispie treats, peanut dip, peas, bent beans, broad beans, crabapple slices, black dates, and persimmons. , small wild jujube……
According to adults, "you are not allowed to choose" when eating this thing. You can touch it at will. It tastes fragrant, sweet and crispy, and there are also occasional surprises.
So think about what it's like to be in this room.
Even Yao Lihua and six or seven representatives representing several handicraft factories who came to pay New Year greetings felt a little restrained sitting in the chairs.
Let alone casual conversation, go get something on the table and enjoy it, it's impossible.
Most of them felt short of breath for a while, and even their breathing became rapid.
Only people like Manager Sha who often visit foreign-related places and attend banquets can take it lightly.
He picked up the tea and drank it as if there was no one around, and ate the mixed food. (End of chapter)
