Chapter 1115 I only owe the east wind
"What, General Manager Zhou? Zuo Jie, you are looking down on me, right?"
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Zuo Jie, then looked at Li Yuanchao and nodded, "Classmates, don't talk nonsense, just call me Mr. Zhou."
"Hahaha--!"
This was obviously a joke, but it left Li Yuanchao stunned.
Seeing Zhou Xiaobai burst into laughter after he finished speaking, he started laughing too.
"Okay! Mr. Zhou, today we finally know the true face of Mount Lu!"
Li Yuanchao is such a smart guy. Although he is confused in his mind, he says nice things.
"I was blind and didn't recognize the great man before. I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me!"
He raised his hand and saluted, smiling and jokingly saying, "When you make progress in the future, please take care of your old classmates..."
"Hey! Yuan Chao, you're still saying that!"
Zuo Jie noticed the doubt and ambiguity in Li Yuanchao's eyes, smiled and pointed at Zhou Xiaobai and introduced him, "You really know how to call me Mr. Zhou."
"Go - Zuo Jie, our classmate is just joking!"
Zhou Xiaobai glared at Zuo Jie in a reproachful manner, waved his hand at Li Yuanchao, and said, "Don't listen to him. He's been a little bit arrogant lately, and he keeps talking nonsense."
"What do you mean?" Li Yuanchao really didn't understand, so he smiled and asked, "Why don't I understand what you mean?"
He looked at Zuo Jie who was sitting across from the table and asked with a smile, "President Zuo, where is our old classmate doing in Tianjin?"
"The person is right here, just ask yourself—"
Zuo Jie raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are all old classmates. Your relationship is forged through thousands of trials and tribulations. Isn't it deeper and longer-lasting than that of an outsider like me?"
"He was just teasing you—" Zhou Xiaobai saw Li Yuanchao looking at him and said modestly, "What high position? I'm just running errands."
"When President Zuo first mentioned President Zhou, I was a little confused."
Li Yuanchao's eyes lit up and he said, "But now that you are being modest, I think this is true!"
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, I didn't mean to stare at you."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "My friend has seen you coming out of the International Hotel several times. That place is inaccessible to ordinary people."
"What kind of thinking is this——!"
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at him with a smile and said jokingly, "You didn't believe me when I told you it wasn't, but you doubted it!"
After she finished speaking, she saw Li Yuanchao staring at her, and the suspicion in his eyes became more certain, so she nodded and said, "I am in charge of a project in Tianjin."
“Wow! There really is a project!”
Li Yuanchao understood something and said with wide eyes: "Xiaobai, tell me, what's going on with you?"
Previously, he called him Mr. Zhou, but that was just nonsense among classmates. He didn't believe that Zhou Xiaobai was the general manager.
Nowadays, joint ventures, service companies, purchasing stations and other institutions all have general manager positions, but most of them are old men in their forties or fifties.
Now Zhou Xiaobai, a 17 or 18-year-old girl, told him that she had become the general manager. Could he believe it?
If he believed it, was it because his ideology had deteriorated or was it because the system had gone off track?
He doesn't believe it. He really doesn't believe it.
So he called Mr. Zhou with a hint of sarcasm and laughter, but also a bit of suspicion and ridicule.
I was just curious, so I forced Zhou Xiaobai to continue.
I never expected that Zhou Xiaobai would speak seriously now and actually take charge of the project!
Therefore, he could not use the teasing and joking term "Mr. Zhou" when addressing him. Instead, he called him "Xiaobai", a familiar name that he had never used even when he was in school.
Li Yuanchao has always been like this. He can hold his chin high with pride and lower his forehead when feeling aggrieved.
He said that a real man can bend and stretch, never act on impulse, and has the foresight to think long-term.
There is no need to talk about the identity of Zhou Xiaobai's father. His father is not an ordinary person.
Both of them were from excellent families, and there was a gender difference, so they seldom interacted with each other before.
It’s not that male and female students didn’t interact with each other at that time. On the contrary, the friendship or love between male and female students at that time was much more refreshing than in later generations.
Just think about it, at that time universities all had their own academic style, and students still had backbone, they were inheriting the characteristics of the youth of that era.
Love is the sacred and inviolable right of progressive young people and is a normal social interaction.
Friendship is the communication that must exist between classmates and colleagues.
However, Zhou Xiaobai's personality before was not as easy-going as it is now. She was quite gentle and elegant, and would never play around with those naughty boys.
But he has seen a lot of things in the club in the past year, and has been hanging out with people like Li Xuewu, so how could his personality not change?
Just as delicate and gentle, but with a bit more cheerfulness and clarity in the gentleness.
Li Yuanchao had met Zhou Xiaobai here a long time ago, but he never had the chance to strike up a conversation with him.
Especially when she learned that Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin from the veteran team both liked her, she had some special ideas.
What does Zhou Xiaobai look like?
I wouldn’t dare say that she is the prettiest among all the girls in the compound, but I have to say that she is pretty.
If you add that she has a gentle personality, is an excellent student, and has a father named Zhou Zhennan, how popular do you think she would be?
Li Yuanchao said he had no idea, but that was just talk. If he really wanted to catch up with Zhou Xiaobai, his father would be the first to agree and would rush to help his son propose marriage.
However, he was well aware of how humiliating it would be to do so, and he would not even be able to survive in this team of veterans.
Young people seem childish in the way they deal with love and friendship.
This is true even for Li Yuanchao, who seems to be very mature in his work.
Holding Zhang Haiyang with his left hand and pushing Zhong Yuemin with his right hand, do you think he really has good intentions for his brother?
In the past, it could be said that Zhou Xiaobai just had good looks and a good family background, but didn’t have many other advantages.
Not the best looking, not the best at studying, nor the most daring at playing.
But now it’s different. She has become much more cheerful, speaks humorously and wittily, and even has her own career earlier than him and those kids in the compound.
Forget about the general manager. As long as they have a job, these kids won't have to ride their bicycles around the city every day.
Now Li Yuanchao looked at Zhou Xiaobai with envy and love, his eyes rolling around and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhou Xiaobai didn't care what he was thinking about. He just caught up with him. He knew that Li Xuewu was coming to the club today, so he followed him.
Li Xuewu was in a meeting, and she had nothing to do anyway, so she came to the flower hall to wait.
Zuo Jie had already invited Zhou Xiaobai to join the Youth Club, and there was no such thing as an assessment.
What is assessed?
As long as Zhou Xiaobai stays with Li Xuewu for one day, her resources will be top-notch and she can do whatever she wants. She is more carefree than him.
Luo Yun told him that Zhou Xiaobai earned more than 100 yuan a month, with bonuses of several hundred yuan. He lived in a villa in Tianjin and stayed in an international hotel when he returned to Beijing. He lived a very cool life.
If you like imported watches, fashionable clothes, and high-heeled leather shoes, you don’t have to think about it. Just go to the mall and buy whatever you want. It’s definitely worth a fortune.
Zuo Jie could see that Luo Yun was envious and even a little jealous.
But he could see more clearly that it was impossible for Li Xuewu to spend so much money to support Zhou Xiaobai for nothing.
He and Luo Yun seriously asked whether Li Xuewu and Zhou Xiaobai had that kind of relationship.
Luo Yun’s answer was that she was there the only two times that Li Xuewu asked Zhou Xiaobai to go out.
Even in Tianjin and at sea, the three of them slept in the same bed.
Luo Yun didn’t know about other times, but what she saw was that Li Xuewu was very restrained towards Zhou Xiaobai, and it could even be said that he was caring and doting on her.
They are not the kind of lovers at all, which can be seen from the fact that Zhou Xiaobai is still a virgin.
Zhou Xiaobai's mother is busy with work, but she does not stay at home and miss her daughter.
Others may not know whether her daughter has that or not, but she doesn’t know?
If her parents didn't know what was going on, how could they have dared not intervene by allowing Zhou Xiaobai to work in the club, go to Tianjin for training, and even go out to sea with Li Xuewu?
If someone like Zhong Yuemin really asks Zhou Xiaobai to go out and play, or go to another place to play, do you think Zhou Xiaobai's parents will care?
Luo Yun had already made it clear to Zuo Jie that Li Xuewu's position in Zhou Xiaobai's heart was not something that anyone could shake.
If Li Xuewu really wanted to eat her, he would have 180,000 chances.
Even if he ate it, in a sense, it would be in vain. It all depends on how Li Xuewu deals with it.
In the eyes of some people, Li Xuewu's current achievements and status can no longer be compared with those of Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin.
Zuo Jie brought Zhou Xiaobai into the team in order to set a benchmark for Youth Exchange and let these people see what resources they can get in Youth Exchange.
Of course, Zhou Xiaobai’s resources were not obtained from Youth Forum, but if he didn’t say it, who would know?
He is not Luo Yun, nor is he Zhou Xiaobai's best friend. He can see Zhou Xiaobai more clearly from an outsider's perspective.
Zhou Xiaobai was raised by Li Xuewu, or rather, praised by him. She can be said to be inseparable from Li Xuewu for the rest of her life.
Zhou Xiaobai's parents cannot see through the future situation, but if they follow Li Xuewu's steps, when Zhou Xiaobai is promoted to a certain height, who will take over?
No one would answer the call. Zuo Jie was sure that even with only a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses, even a capitalist's son could not afford to support such a spendthrift woman.
In the end, it can only be Zhou Zhennan or Zhou Zhennan’s lover to take care of their daughter, including her career.
There is no need to do anything else, just to support their daughter's career.
Li Xuewu's plan is aboveboard: I will support your daughter and you will support my career.
Zhou Xiaobai is a benchmark, what kind of benchmark?
Each of us is a resource, and when we unite together we become the benchmark of the resource pool.
Organizing Youth Forum is certainly not Zuo Jie’s goal, and Youth Forum is not Li Xuewu’s goal either.
Youth Forum is an experimental field, a nursery ground, and an incubator. It trains and cultivates a group of promising young people and hatches a group of industrial prototypes.
From Youth Club to Oriental Club, it is an upgrade, progress, and a step forward in resource contribution and acquisition.
This step is not high, there is only one.
In the limited age, build a successful career, jump out of Youth Club and join Dongfeng Club.
You may think this is not noble enough and a bit low, so let’s change it to reflect this era:
The protagonist Pavel Korchagin in the book How the Steel Was Tempered said: The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once.
A person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of being mediocre.
In this way, before his death, he could proudly say: "I have devoted my entire life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world - fighting for the liberation of mankind."
If the Youth Union's standards and core values are replaced with this statement, wouldn't it sound much more noble and awe-inspiring?
In fact, any noble statement has a simple core truth.
Zuo Jie had communicated with Li Xuewu very seriously and also carefully studied the purpose of Li Xuewu's support for him to organize the Youth Forum.
Therefore, he went through great pains to organize member assessments and recruitments, and to organize activities and salons.
The purpose is simple, every member who walks out of here will be deeply branded with Dongfeng's mark.
Every project incubated here should have the support and label of Dongfeng.
In the future, he would like to hear people introduce him as "This is Zuo Jie from Youth Club, Zuo Jie from Dongfeng Club".
It is not just "Zuo Jie of Youth Club" and "Zhou Xiaobai of Youth Club", there should be more people from Youth Club who can develop their own careers.
People like Li Yuanchao have resources that are comparable to Zhou Xiaobai.
What he lacked was positive thinking, unified understanding, and the belief that "only the east wind is missing".
To get out of here, all they need is the east wind, let go and they will achieve great things.
-
"You must have never heard of the Tianjin Shunfeng Trading Company. It's just a small project."
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and looked at Li Yuanchao and explained, "It's a consumer cooperative, a joint-stock unit, doing commerce and wholesale."
"Trade and Business Joint Venture?"
"A consumer cooperative stand?"
"Or a joint-stock company?"
Li Yuanchao was a little confused. He stared at Zhou Xiaobai blankly and asked, "What's going on? I still don't understand."
“It sounds complicated, but it’s not simple at all.”
Zhou Xiaobai covered his mouth and teased, then explained: "It means obtaining the distribution rights of unplanned products from the production unit, and then transferring and selling them to the supply and marketing unit or internal units."
"It's complicated enough. I understand all the words you said." Li Yuanchao pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "But when they are connected together to form a sentence, I don't understand it."
"But, Xiaobai, I really didn't expect that you are so powerful now!"
He was a little surprised, looked at Zhou Xiaobai with envy and said, "To be honest, I'm still in touch with those classmates of ours, and we always talked about this."
"We don't have a suitable class to attend. As for pursuing a career, the current situation does not allow it. We all want to do something practical and serve the people."
"Hahaha--!"
Zhou Xiaobai found what he said interesting, and said with a smile: "I think you are very good. You can even ride a motorcycle. You are the most impressive person in the city!"
"Hey - don't mention it. There's no need for me to pretend in front of you."
Li Yuanchao smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I am just a donkey dung egg, I look good on the surface, but in fact, this motorcycle is almost emptying my pockets."
"This is not a donkey. Take it out for a walk. It can work after it's full. This is an iron donkey!"
He smiled bitterly and said, "The gas tank is empty. If you don't give it some gas, it won't move."
"Hahaha--!"
This kind of hard work made both Zhou Xiaobai and Zuo Jie laugh.
Zuo Jie pointed at Zhou Xiaobai and said to Li Yuanchao, "At first I advised her to buy a motorcycle to ride to get off work, but what did she say?"
"I'm not riding it--!"
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's cold to ride in winter, hot in summer, and I have to take care of it when it's cloudy or rainy. It kicks at the slightest provocation. Am I going to suffer this?"
“Oh my! You’re so right!”
Li Yuanchao grinned and said with a wry smile: "I am now serving it, and I have to build a shed for it and clean it every day. I am almost serving it like a master."
"I'm afraid of losing it if I park it on the roadside, and I'm afraid of scratching it if I park it in the parking lot. I want to carry it into the cinema when I go to the movies!"
"Hahaha! Stop making me laugh!"
Zhou Xiaobai covered his mouth, lay on the eight-immortals table and shrugged his shoulders, obviously he was amused by him.
Li Yuanchao realized that he had made Zhou Xiaobai laugh, so he finished his complaints and stated his purpose.
"Xiao Bai, I just said that everyone is pursuing a career. I wasn't kidding you."
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Among all of us classmates, you are the most capable. Don't forget me. Think of me when good things happen."
"What? If you want to make money, just say you want to make money. Why are you hiding it from your old classmates?"
Zuo Jie knocked on the table in a funny way, teasing Li Yuanchao and saying, "You think I'm a hindrance sitting here, right? Are you embarrassed to say it? Then I'll leave?"
"Hey! What are you talking about!"
Li Yuanchao didn't want Zuo Jie to leave. Zuo Jie was now the bridge for him to discuss business with Zhou Xiaobai.
He smiled and held Zuo Jie's hand, saying, "I have nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm just jealous of Xiao Bai's success in his career."
After saying this, seeing Zhou Xiaobai smile, he added: "I just hope my old classmates can give me a hand and teach me how to build a career and make money."
"You still need me to lead you?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at him and said, "You are not looking down on me, are you? I have heard that you have set up a small group. Isn't it quite profitable?"
"Where did you hear this?"
Li Yuanchao looked anxious and said, shaking the back of his hand: "If I really made money, I wouldn't have to complain to you."
"We just made do with what we had. We were lucky to have a few good things in our hands, so we could eat one meal and then go hungry the next."
He looked at Zhou Xiaobai and said seriously, "We both went to the same school. If I ever become successful, I will never forget your kindness, really!"
"Yuan Chao still has some ideas." Zuo Jie sat aside, took a sip of tea and said, "He talked to me about wanting to do business and take care of these little brothers under him."
"I think Yuan Chao is a good person. If you really have channels or resources, you can help me."
Under Li Yuanchao's grateful gaze, Zuo Jie helped him persuade Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Even if I do some business for your company, it will give you a starting stage and a chance to exercise, right?"
"Yes, yes, what President Zuo said makes so much sense!"
Li Yuanchao nodded and said, "Xiaobai, if your company has any business that is convenient for you, please take care of me."
"Don't worry, I will never fail to perform well as long as you assign me a task."
"You'll cause me trouble—"
Zhou Xiaobai glared at Zuo Jie first, then looked at Li Yuanchao with a burning gaze and asked, "Do you really want to help our company with business?"
"Just speak up! As long as you speak up, I can do anything!"
Li Yuanchao assured: "You know me, I still have some face in this city, there are few things I can't handle."
"Like Zuo Jie said, we are all classmates, so there is no problem in helping each other."
Zhou Xiaobai nodded, thought for a moment and said, "This month, Jicheng has a truckload of mixed timber coming through the customs. We can earn at least this much. Do you want to do it?"
She stretched out her hand and shook it towards Li Yuanchao, without saying the exact number.
Li Yuanchao didn't care what her slap meant, but frowned and asked, "A load of wood? A truck?"
"What are you thinking about - a truckload of -"
Zuo Jie, who was sitting opposite, tapped the table with amusement and reminded: "Train, a train, is there any truck used to transport timber from Jicheng to Beijing?"
"Are you sure you really want to help me with my business?"
Zhou Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he looked at Li Yuanchao's suspicious gaze and said, "Forty train cars loaded with timber, trucks? Are you kidding?"
"Um—that—"
Li Yuanchao was stunned. Looking at the two people's suspicious eyes, his lofty ambitions were instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.
He thought Zhou Xiaobai was engaged in the trade of soap or soda, but how come he suddenly got a trainload of wood?
"Haha ...." Li Yuanchao's face turned red and he said awkwardly, "Xiao Bai, how can I do this?"
Now he didn't even dare to ask Zhou Xiaobai how much the slap was worth. This kind of money was beyond his ability, and he couldn't earn it even if he heard about it.
He even thought of trying a truckload of lumber, and that disgusted expression he had just now was just a deliberate show.
The purpose is to show off one's own abilities so as to get more business from Zhou Xiaobai and have more opportunities to make money.
Another thing is that you don’t make much money from transporting a truckload of timber a month, so there’s no need to be surprised.
But it’s a different story for a trainload of timber, with forty carriages at that. That’s more than a thousand tons, almost two thousand tons. Where can you sell it?
Wood processing plant? Furniture factory?
They all have fixed supply channels, how could they possibly purchase goods from him?
If he sold it to the unit where his father had low financial support, a truckload would be fine, but if he sold it to a trainload, and sold it to one trainload a month, his father would hang him up and beat him with a leather belt.
"Can you switch to a smaller business, a smaller one?"
Li Yuanchao was afraid of being looked down upon by Zhou Xiaobai, so he explained with a dry laugh: "You also know the situation of our family. How can I have the resources of a timber factory?"
"Oh—it's my fault, I didn't think of that."
Zhou Xiaobai nodded in understanding, leaned on his arm to support his chin and thought for a while, then said, "I remember what you said about the family relationship."
In Li Yuanchao's eyes, surprised at how many channels she had to make money and how many connections she had, she said, "All the weapons promotion tasks of the Light Soldiers are in line with your connections."
"For the Type 66-6 sniper rifle, the price is calculated based on the purchase volume of 100 rifles. Each unit will be paid 500 yuan. You can make this."
"Also, you can also make individual equipment, hanging equipment and vehicles."
Without waiting for the confused Li Yuanchao to speak, Zhou Xiaobai, looking as if he was seriously helping him think of ideas, said, "Although the base number of individual equipment and hanging tools is large and the bonus is small, the purchase volume is huge!"
"There are also vehicles, the Red Star Antelope Jeep, which is being promoted to the troops. I'll give you 50 yuan for each one. This one is more suitable!"
"Wait a minute, Xiaobai, Mr. Bai!"
Li Yuanchao was now completely confused by Zhou Xiaobai. When he heard that she was starting to talk about selling the car, he quickly stopped her.
He looked at Zhou Xiaobai in surprise and asked, "What you just said... isn't it... that you have started to engage in the weapons business?"
This business is indeed in line with his relationship, and it’s a damn good match!
Just think about it, if he went to his father's office with a Type 66-6 sniper rifle to promote this rifle, or some of the individual hanging equipment and vehicles that Zhou Xiaobai mentioned, what would his father think?
Regardless of what you think, just think about how his father beat him.
"Boss Bai, my dad won't let me touch this stuff!"
"Listen to me carefully, okay? This is the weapons promotion mission of the Light Weapons Institute!"
Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have any weapons sales business, this is a resource."
"I understand, I know, but I can't do it."
Li Yuanchao really wanted to slap himself in the face now. What was he talking about just now!
What the hell, I can do whatever you say, what the hell, I have face in this city!
Depend on--!
"I'm selling weapons in Beijing?"
This sounds even more ridiculous than the fucking "I opened a supermarket on the Long March"!
"It's not your problem, Mr. Bai. It's my problem."
Li Yuanchao is now convinced. He never expected that Zhou Xiaobai's resources are so great. He can use any resources and channels.
He really couldn't take this job and didn't dare to take it.
"Please think about it carefully and see if there is anything that is suitable for me. It should not be too big. I don't want to eat a fat man in one bite. I want to practice first."
"I really didn't know you couldn't do this. It's such a shame for such a relevant business."
Seeing that Li Yuanchao had lost his arrogance and boasting, Zhou Xiaobai nodded and told him the business he had prepared in his mind.
"You know that Red Star Factory is going to set up an automobile manufacturing plant to engage in specialized automobile production, right?"
"I know, I know. My motorcycle was produced by the Red Star Factory."
Li Yuanchao nodded and said, "You want me to sell cars?"
"Almost there, not quite there, but not far off either!"
Zhou Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "Because the new car is about to roll off the production line, their factory and channels have a batch of early-stage spare parts that need to be cleared out."
"Of course, these cars are all refurbished old cars. There are fire, patrol, and police models."
She looked at Li Yuanchao and said, "Although the sales reward is not much, the lowest is 40 yuan. You can do this, right?"
Zuo Jie, who was sitting nearby, also nodded. This was something he had discussed with Zhou Xiaobai, so the deal was not too forced.
"I can't do it. I really can't do it."
Li Yuanchao shook his head without thinking and said, "Please spare me. Just pick the smallest and simplest one for me to try."
He's not throwing a tantrum; he just feels like he can't do it.
If Zhou Xiaobai had said this as his first sentence, given Li Yuanchao's personality, he would really want to try it.
However, successive blows made Li Yuanchao completely lose confidence in front of Zhou Xiaobai.
So, when I heard about the car sales business, I instinctively thought of difficulties.
Nowadays, which company doesn’t think twice before buying a car? They review and approve it again and again…
He doesn't have any connections in society. It's okay for old soldiers to brag among themselves.
To find such a relationship, the only one he could find was one under his father, but a big item like a car would inevitably be known to his father, so he couldn't avoid getting beaten.
Li Yuanchao was scared and convinced. He knew that Zhou Xiaobai was not teasing him but was helping him find suitable resources.
He thought Zhou Xiaobai was joking when selling timber and weapons, but of course he doesn't think so now.
These are all related to the Red Star Factory and Li Xuewu. He immediately knew where Zhou Xiaobai got the resources from.
Seeing Li Yuanchao shaking his head to refuse, Zuo Jie was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's speechless gaze, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This drama has already been played out? Has your ambition been crushed?
But Li Yuanchao was his first project, and he was planning to use it as a hook to pry open the other party's network of relationships. What should he do now that it's gone?
It took him a while to think of some resources to give to the other party. Even the work of cleaning up old cars was obtained from Li Xuewu.
Zhou Xiaobai glared at Zuo Jie, then turned to look at the embarrassed Li Yuanchao at the other's pleading look.
"Tianjin's seafood is related to the welfare and procurement of various units, enterprises and factory unions."
In order to help Zuo Jie, she could only talk about the business she was familiar with: "The minimum order quantity is ten tons. You are responsible for finding the buyer. Once the purchase agreement is finalized, you don't have to worry about the rest."
"50 yuan for tons, can you do this?"
When asking this question, Zhou Xiaobai was a little cautious, for she was afraid that Li Yuanchao would say he didn't dare to do it, and then she would really be powerless.
Fortunately, Li Yuanchao still had some confidence in this, and he also heard the helpless tone in Zhou Xiaobai's voice.
Of course, he didn't know that Zuo Jie and Zhou Xiaobai were setting a trap for him. He just thought that Zhou Xiaobai was trying hard to help him find a solution, but in the end, he didn't have the right resources to give him.
"Yes, yes, I can do this!"
Li Yuanchao looked at Zhou Xiaobai with great emotion and said, "My dad should go to the Economic Commission in the second half of the year. I have some ideas about this. Thank you, Mr. Bai!"
Mr. Bai was convinced and moved to tears by this call.
Especially when seeing Zuo Jie's concerned look, Zhou Xiaobai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He really felt a little embarrassed. He was such a loser. Compared to Zhou Xiaobai, he was nothing!
Even Zuo Jie, whom he used to look down upon, has achieved such a great career. He still has the audacity to say in front of others that he has face in Beijing.
He had face, but he was surrounded by veterans and could fool around all day long.
When it comes to doing business and making money, he really didn't expect that these inconspicuous people in daily life have such great abilities.
I am convinced. I am really convinced. I am convinced from the bottom of my heart.
"Well, Mr. Bai, I'll treat you and President Zuo to lunch at noon!"
Li Yuanchao also felt guilty and embarrassed, so he took the initiative to make amends: "Let's go to Dongfeng Restaurant, I'll make the arrangements."
"Sorry, I have plans for lunch."
Zhou Xiaobai didn't care about Li Yuanchao's frozen smile, nor did he care about his embarrassed and sensitive gaze.
She shrugged her shoulders and said casually, "Brother Wu has invited Warden Huang, Chief of Staff Shen, Deputy Director Hu of Liaodong's Beijing Office, Deputy Director Ren of the Municipal Government Office, Director Xiang of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, and some good friends to have dinner here. I have to help him, so I really don't have time."
"This this--"
Li Yuanchao was stunned for a moment when listening to Zhou Xiaobai's explanation. He stammered and didn't know what to say.
Li Xuewu invited Zhou Xiaobai to dinner and joined us. What does this mean?
He didn't quite understand what Zhou Xiaobai meant to Li Xuewu, but he finally understood why Zhou Xiaobai had so many resources.
In addition, he also understood how Li Xuewu's circle of people was monetized.
It's aboveboard. Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't dare to have any bad thoughts, let alone tell anyone.
why?
Because the person behind this method is named Zhou Xiaobai.
He thought he knew it, but what he knew was just a sleight of hand.
Anyone who uses Zhou Xiaobai to attack Li Xuewu and the club's resources will soon find that the resources in Zhou Xiaobai's hands have nothing to do with the club.
If the direction is wrong, the goal will be wrong too.
With this buffer time, Zhou Zhennan has enough time to fight his way in and out seven times. Who can do anything to Zhou Xiaobai?
We are just providing distribution services for the Red Star Factory. It’s none of your business how much we earn.
So, Li Yuanchao was confused and disoriented from the very beginning. What he saw on Zuo Jie and Zhou Xiaobai's website was what others wanted him to see.
If Zhou Xiaobai can be considered as a handle, then whoever touches it will be dead.
Li Yuanchao certainly didn't know all this, but he still felt it was impressive.
He just thought that the club founded by Li Xuewu was really awesome. Not only could it maintain good relationships and take good care of classmates, but it could also generate cash.
So when he looked at Zhou Xiaobai again, there was a different color and emotion in his eyes.
If Zhou Xiaobai is the club's white glove, then why can't Li Yuanchao be another white glove?
It is entirely possible to prepare a pair of gloves; he also wants to have these resources.
What we need to do now is very simple. We need to curry favor with Zhou Xiaobai and find out how Zhou Xiaobai does things.
He didn't get discouraged when he couldn't make an appointment for lunch. He took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had an appointment for lunch today. How about we meet in the evening?"
"Let's go to Lao Mo tonight and have Western food. The cream beef there is amazing!"
"Brother Wu and the others are coming out——"
Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were fixed on the direction of the management office and he didn't pay attention to what Li Yuanchao said.
He stood up anxiously at this moment, and seeing Li Yuanchao's stunned expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, old classmate, I'm very happy to be able to help you."
"No, I really want to treat you to a meal!"
Li Yuanchao also stood up and said sincerely: "You have helped me so much. If I don't show some appreciation, I won't be able to stay in Beijing anymore."
"Okay, let's not go to Lao Mo. It's too far. I'm afraid to go out at night."
Zhou Xiaobai picked up her exquisite little handbag from the chair and said to Li Yuanchao and Zuo Jie, "I'll treat you tonight. I've booked a room at the International Hotel."
She looked at Li Xuewu and said casually, "Let's go eat French food, so I don't have to call a taxi to go back."
Seeing Li Xuewu coming over, she waved to Li Yuanchao and said, "That's it, Li Yuanchao. I have something to do and I'll leave first. We'll talk tonight."
They had already reached the door. Zhou Xiaobai turned around and nodded to Zuo Jie who had come out to remind him, "Call Luo Yun. I didn't see her last week. Let her accompany me tonight!"
“Brother Wu——!”
After Zhou Xiaobai gave Zuo Jie instructions, he went to greet the people who were coming over, followed Li Xuewu, and greeted everyone with a smile.
Watching such a group of people passing by not far from the flower hall, Li Yuanchao looked at Zhou Xiaobai's figure with some envy, and also looked at who those people were.
"Don't worry, Xiaobai didn't mean to embarrass you."
Zuo Jie, of course, knew who those people were. He smiled and explained to Li Yuanchao, "Zhou Xiaobai's parents don't allow her to go out at night."
"I understand, I understand. I don't know their family education."
Li Yuanchao nodded and said, "Zhou Xiaobai has been well behaved since she was young. She never plays with us and is very obedient. She is a good girl."
"Besides, why should I lose face? It was Xiaobai who helped me."
He smiled and said, "I've heard that the service at the International Hotel is amazing, and that the people who eat there are all from foreign embassies."
"I've always wanted to go, but I never had the chance." Li Yuanchao smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Today I am relying on Mr. Bai's help."
"Hahaha—you are classmates!"
Zuo Jie smiled and invited him back to the flower hall, saying, "Isn't it normal for us to help each other? Sometimes I also want to borrow her light, but I just don't have the ability."
"Stop talking, you're much stronger than me--!"
Li Yuanchao pointed his eyes at the group of people heading to the backyard and said, "Your relationship with this place is enough to make you famous in the city, but you are just a kind person."
"Oh, by the way, I need a favor from you."
He saw a member of the Youth Club coming over, so he quickly asked, "How is the bill at the International Hotel? How much does a table of French food cost?"
"What? Didn't Zhou Xiaobai say she would treat us?"
Zuo Jie looked at him and said, "Would you like to treat us to dinner tonight?"
"Of course, you're doing me a favor, so why should I let Xiao Bai spend money?"
Li Yuanchao said righteously: "Whether I go to Dongfeng Restaurant or Lao Mo's today, I am sincere in doing so."
"If you want to go to the International Hotel to meet the world, then I have to treat you."
"Alright! That's fair enough!"
Zuo Jie gave a thumbs up and said, "Just based on what you said, I know Zhou Xiaobai didn't help the wrong person. The friendship between you classmates is just stronger than ours."
"But you have to take it easy," he reminded in a low voice, "Zhou Xiaobai spends several hundred dollars a month, and she doesn't mind a French meal that costs dozens of dollars, so don't..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a price!"
Li Yuanchao's heart was bleeding, but he said proudly, "I really don't know what the situation is at the International Hotel. If I show my weakness again, I will be embarrassed."
"It's not as luxurious as you think. It depends on the specific situation."
Zuo Jie continued to stimulate Li Yuanchao and said, "Zhou Xiaobai has the capital to do this. She lives in a suite that costs three dollars a night. Let's not compare ourselves with her."
“Good fellow——!”
Li Yuanchao stared at Zhou Xiaobai's receding back, and asked tentatively, "What topics did those big brothers talk about?"
"What topic should we talk about? I actually know a little bit about this, but it's quite boring and uninteresting."
Zuo Jie looked back and said casually: "Maybe it's import and export trade, heavy industrial enterprise development, ecological park project construction..."
"Aid Korea? What's wrong with you?"
Don’t worry about the update time anymore. If I update on time at 0:5, it means I have finished writing ahead of time. If I don’t update, it means I’m still writing, hahahaha.
