Chapter 941 - 384: Fresh Faces, Fresh Stories (Part 2)
Well, places with lots of beautiful women naturally have vitality.But when everyone gathered in the live streaming room later, reality became less and less fun...
Finally reaching the 5th floor, Han Lie exited the elevator alone, handed over to a waiter at the door, instructing him: "Take me to the Supreme Room, four 8’s."
The sound of high heels behind him suddenly paused for a moment.
When Han Lie entered the private room, Old Qiu was hugging a hostess and singing loudly.
"I should be under the car, not in it, seeing how sweet you all are..."
Full of off-key notes, extremely impactful.
Yet a bunch of men and women were wildly applauding and cheering, the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Han Lie took a simple glance at the room and figured it out—today Old Qiu was the star; no one here was on the same level as him.
"Ah yo, President Han is here!"
Old Qiu stopped singing, shouted into the microphone: "Everyone quickly clap and welcome, show President Han the enthusiasm of our company!"
"President Han!"
"Warm welcome!"
"Come on, beauties, go give flowers and kisses to President Han!"
Han Lie was held by Old Qiu as he walked inside, seeing nothing but bent backs and uplifted faces.
Among them were a man and a woman Han Lie had seen before.
The man was Old Qiu’s office director, the woman was the second in command of the operations department, they accompanied Old Qiu during lectures.
"Your company internal gathering?"
Han Lie was completely confused: "Why call me?"
Old Qiu was about to reply when the door of the private room was opened again, and the waiter led in an absolutely stunning beauty.
Old Qiu turned his head, his eyes instantly brightened, leaning on Han Lie’s shoulder, he murmured: "Promotion training huh! There, behind, see for yourself, exciting or not?!"
As Han Lie turned back in response, he saw a handsome guy in a white shirt quickly took a few steps, wrapped an arm around the curly brown lady from the elevator.
The cold and beautiful woman seemed a bit awkward, being embraced by the handsome guy, raised her head to ask something.
And that handsome guy had a smiling face, muttering while pulled her in.
Han Lie was stunned.
What the hell!
Old Qiu, are you serious?!
"No, at that time it was just a joke, when did I agree to do... training with you?"
Han’s eyes nearly popped out in disbelief.
Old Qiu, you ruin my reputation!
But Old Qiu didn’t see it that way, he chuckled, and said those classic two words: "I understand!"
Han Lie thought he really understood, but... he understood nothing!
Old Qiu, already drunk, chuckled: "Brother, you’ve just entered society, not ready to accept our old-timers’ playful ways, huh?
Hehe, don’t worry, I’m just joking, would I really train with you?
The age gap between us is so big, if you don’t mind being dull, I’m worried about hurting my self-esteem...
Look closely... besides her husband, no one touched her!
Prepared especially for you!"
Well, I really have to thank you for that!
Han Lie felt ridiculous, but didn’t want to leave immediately, so he decided to keep playing along.
"I really... Can we talk about something serious? What’s the situation over at President Gao’s side? Has the project plan been submitted for review yet?"
Old Qiu pulled Han Lie to sit in the center, waving a hand to disperse the nearby people.
"Just yesterday arranged for me to party... oh, by the way, that Xinghui International card was given by him, Gao Fengbo and he made me drink all night..."
Old Qiu seemed somewhat excited, speaking with little logic, saying whatever came to mind.
"Their plan... um, I saw it, it’s rotten, purely taking us as a guarantee to bear the risk... Han, my position hasn’t come easy..."
What a load of crap about difficulty!
Han Lie is no longer a novice, after being repeatedly influenced by Panzi, Xiao Dou, and Liu Minghao, he gained quite a profound understanding of the state-owned enterprises in the Magic Capital.
The direct truth is—Magic Capital’s state assets are the largest in the country, dwarfing even Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen combined, with solid foundations and favorable environment.
The subtle truth is—being too big leads to "unmanageable", making state-owned enterprises rather free.
The unspeakable truth is—profit margins have always been disappointing.
In Old Qiu’s position, Magic Capital’s re-guarantee company is struggling but has "earned its stripes", his position beneath him is very stable.
What is performance?
Well, can’t compete with those privileged financial institutions which enjoy the "sons’ treatment", we brothers just need to bear the burden at critical moments!
Preach and drink leisurely, earn some pocket money when possible, conduct a bit of staff training... ahem.
Old Qiu’s complaints, listen and don’t believe a word.
Han Lie frowned: "Qiu bro, didn’t I tell you not to take their stuff?"
Old Qiu suddenly blinked, chuckled: "Wei Changming took it, what does it have to do with me?!"
You cunning fox!
Han Lie relaxed, asked casually: "Wei Changming? Why didn’t you find your staunch ally for this kind of deal?"
Old Qiu glanced sideways, pointed with his mouth: "That one! Handsome?"
Han Lie was puzzled.
Old Qiu sinisterly chuckled again: "Staunch ally? After tonight, he’ll be my most trusted good employee! What’s more iron-solid than this, right, Han bro? Come on, let me introduce you to your good brother!"
Oops!
Brother?
Probably brother-in-law, right?
Han Lie still thought this was unreliable, looking at the curly brown-haired lady seemed too decent to be this kind of person, so he hurriedly grabbed Old Qiu above him.
"Wait! Tell me clearly, what’s going on?"
"Department chief!"
Old Qiu nonchalantly waved, treating it as nothing.
"Core department! Handled all connections with Gao Yijun’s side, fully delegated to him, do you know how much benefit this kid could reap?"
Han Lie’s mind suddenly buzzed.
His moral boundaries are flexible, confronting disgusting people or innate troublemakers, he doesn’t hesitate to cheat them.
But these definitely don’t include proactively engaging in such deeds.
I certainly don’t lack ladies, would I dig holes for strangers for some damn training?
"No, Old Qiu, stop messing around!"
Han Lie’s expression turned severe, with added force on Old Qiu’s shoulder.
"How you use your subordinates is none of my business, but the risks of this deal, I’ve explained them to you first, I hope you can communicate clearly to your people.
You can’t be intentionally setting traps for others while thinking about their wives, things aren’t done this way!
And you want to involve me now?
Let me be clear—I lack neither money nor women, if you keep playing this way, our friendship is coming to an end..."
Old Qiu was stunned, shook his head, took a while to respond.
"Oh!"
He slapped his thigh, amused and accused with grievance.
"Brother, what are you thinking?
I swear to you: I absolutely hinted to Wei Changming, small play is okay, but mitigate the risks well, don’t get too deep...
His ambition is big! He surely knows securing the department chief position brings long-term benefits, when I say ’reap benefits’, it’s not just this time, it’s for countless years!
Don’t pity him, he’s much tougher than you.
I casually asked about his wife, without a further word, he came to test my thoughts himself...
Don’t believe it, ask him yourself when he comes over!
If it weren’t for his initiative, I wouldn’t dare, would I?
One wrong move and I’ll be nobody...
Don’t worry, this kind of thing is common in the system, never forcing or threatening, it’s now easy to bring someone down?
He eagerly advised me, while I have countless concerns!
Frankly I wouldn’t dare touch his wife, you know?
You both sleep together is merely a matter of extramarital affairs, but me touching her is a big handle... Hell, I’m not lacking women, if it weren’t to entertain you, why would I let that kid gain such great advantage?
Though whether he can really settle his wife, I can’t guarantee now, later, you put in some effort, show your skills a bit...
Alright, I’ll call them over, let’s drink first!"
Old Qiu talked nonstop, didn’t give Han Lie a chance to intervene.
"Hey hey..."
Just as Han Lie opened his mouth, Old Qiu already waved Wei Changming over.
Oh my, what a mess this is...
