Chapter 319 Greed
Chapter 319 Greed
Soon, the food and wine were ready.
At Jiang Bai's suggestion, everyone started to eat. After eating for a while, Meng Huangchao couldn't hold it in any longer and suggested that he and Jiang Bai have a drink.
Jiang Bai thought about this and had no objection. The two of them took a bottle of liquor and drank it separately.
While drinking and listening to Meng Huangchao bragging, the atmosphere was quite good.
During the dinner, Xia Yiyi volunteered to pour wine for Jiang Bai and Meng Huangchao, and drank two glasses of wine herself.
This made Zhu Xinxin very unhappy and wanted to follow his example.
It's a pity that she doesn't know how to drink at all. She just took a sip and almost spit it out. She stuck out her little tongue and kept breathing, making Jiang Bai and Meng Huangchao laugh.
As for her old enemy, Xia Yiyi wisely gave Zhu Xinxin a look of disdain at this time, which made Zhu Xinxin furious. She wanted to continue, but was stopped by Jiang Bai.
There are already two drunkards in the family, and Jiang Bai doesn't want to cultivate another one. It's fine if he doesn't know how to drink.
Just when the atmosphere was getting intense, Jiang Bai's cell phone rang. When he opened it, he saw that it belonged to Jiugui Lan.
Jiang Bai frowned. Yao Lan called him at this time, but Jiang Bai was a little curious.
It's lunch time now, and at a little after one o'clock, Yao Lan calls. It's obviously not normal.
You know, except for getting drunk at night and urging Jiang Bai to go home, Yao Lan rarely calls Jiang Bai. Even if he does, it can't be at this time.
After making a silent gesture to the people around him, Jiang Bai answered the phone: "What's wrong with Yao Lan?"
"Boss, where are you? We have a problem here." Yao Lan's voice was a little urgent, and she spoke directly without beating around the bush.
This made Jiang Bai's heart tremble. Yao Lan called her boss instead of Jiang Bai, which proved that it was a business matter, and it was not a trivial matter. If it was a trivial matter, she, the CEO who had been granted great power, would have already arbitrarily ruled the world. , will not call Jiang Bai.
Since it was fought, it must be a big deal.
"I was having dinner at the Imperial Hotel, and a friend came from out of town. What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Jiang Bai asked curiously.
"Imperial Hotel?" Yao Lan was obviously taken aback after hearing this, and then said: "Chen Fang, Zhou Jie, I are here, in the Imperial Hall on the third floor, why don't you come over..."
Yao Lan didn't say what it was, but it was obviously serious.
Generally speaking, Yao Lan would not go to eat with others. Even if she did go, it would only be for a small taste. Most of the time it was just for face-to-face meetings. It must be a big deal for her to accompany others to eat, and she also brought Zhou Jie from Empire Logistics and Chen Fang from Empire Online. That must be a big thing among big things.
"Okay, wait for me." Jiang Bai hung up the phone and stood up.
Then he said to Meng Huangchao and the three of them: "You guys eat first. I have some things to take care of. I will go downstairs and come back later."
Compared with the two little girls who were confused, Meng Huangchao here was much more alert. When Jiang Bai hung up the phone, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, what's the matter? Do you want my help?"
He is not bragging. Young Master Meng can handle many things, but Jiang Bai may not be able to.
Of course, if Jiang Bai uses unconventional means, that's another story.
"What can you do in the sky? Don't worry, let's eat your food. If you need it, I will call you." Jiang Bai said with a smile. In fact, he didn't care too much.
This is Tiandu, and there really is nothing that Jiang Bai can't afford.
If it doesn’t work, then there’s still Zhao Wuji.
Do you think that because the lion is sleeping, it is no longer a lion?
Open your mouth and still eat people!
After walking out of the room, Jiang Bai went straight to the third floor, took the elevator to the third floor, and immediately found Zhou Jie at the elevator entrance, which made Jiang Bai a little stunned.
"Where's Yao Lan?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.
"I was dragged in by them to accompany him for a drink. Boss, we are really in big trouble this time." Zhou Jie said anxiously to Jiang Bai with a grimace on his face.
Jiang Bai's expression changed when he heard that Yao Lan was dragged in to accompany him for a drink.
Who is Yao Lan?
Let’s not talk about the personal relationship with Jiang Bai. He is the president of Imperial Enterprises. That is his face in Jiang Bai’s business world. He actually asked Yao Lan to accompany him for a drink?
Isn't this a slap in Jiang Bai's face?
"Let's go first! Tell me what kind of trouble you are causing, and it actually made the president of my empire lower his voice and go over to accompany someone to drink!"
Jiang Bai walked straight forward. As he walked, he asked Zhou Jie who was following him, his face not good-looking.
"There's someone coming from the Imperial Capital. It's too big for us to offend. Mr. Yao has to accompany him personally. Now that he's named you and wants to see you, Mr. Yao has to call you!" Zhou Jie heard this. After that, respond quickly.
"Someone is coming from the Imperial Capital? Who?" Jiang Bai was stunned, then paused and asked Zhou Jie.
But I was a little confused, what happened today, everyone in the Imperial Capital suddenly fell in love with Tiandu?
Meng Huangchao has just arrived, and Yao Lan has also started to receive people from the imperial capital?
"He has a great background. One is the son of the deputy director of the current State Administration of Commerce, the other is the son of the director in charge of the Internet, and the other has an unknown background, but he is the eldest. Both of them respect him very much. His name is Mr. Wei. They are today The person who came to see us in the morning was accompanied by Deputy Mayor Wang’s son.”
Zhou Jie gave a brief introduction.
After Jiang Bai heard this, he just sneered again and again and moved forward without hesitation. He thought they were some great people, but they turned out to be a group of yamen.
I just don’t know if there are any of these yamen who are following me, who are the eldest brother and the younger brother?
Opening the door, Jiang Bai saw a young man in his twenties holding a large glass of white wine towards Yao Lan. While holding up the goblet, he said in a playful voice: "Mr. Yao is really You are a great beauty, why don’t you give me face? You drank everyone else’s wine, but you don’t drink mine? Are you looking down on me?”
At this time, Yao Lan was obviously very drunk, her body was swaying, and her expression was confused. She just maintained her final sobriety, but she still didn't dare to offend the twenty-four or five-year-old young man before her. She forced a smile: " Mr. Zhang, it’s not that I don’t want to drink, it’s just that I can’t drink anymore. Do you think this is okay? Let me rest for a while, and then I’ll drink again.”
"That won't work. Drink first and then rest. Otherwise, I will get angry. If I get angry, your empire will be in trouble."
Mr. Zhang was unmoved by Yao Lan's request and spoke righteously. There was even a faint hint of threat when he said this.
This made Yao Lan grit her teeth and then took the cup. Unfortunately, before the cup could be obtained, Jiang Bai snatched it away and then placed it on the table.
"I don't know if the Imperial Enterprise will be in trouble, but Mr. Zhang, you can give it a try."
Jiang Bai was not as polite as Yao Lan when he spoke, and he didn't give the other party much face, so he just choked.
"Who are you!" The other party yelled angrily.
"Jiang Bai." Jiang Bai responded lightly, and then sat in the empty seat next to Yao Lan, not taking the other party seriously at all.
"Bah bang bang!"
A burst of applause sounded at this time, and a young man in his twenties or eighties sitting in the middle stood up.
He applauded with a smile on his face, and then laughed and said: "What a Jiang Bai, so crazy. No wonder when I came here, Xiao Wang told me that you are very powerful here. It seems that this is not fake. How can even Zhang Ju be so arrogant? Do you know that his father is in charge of the national industry and commerce and can shut down your company immediately with just one sentence? "
When the other party said this, Yao Lan, who was already casual and hazy next to him, quickly grabbed Jiang Bai's arm with one hand and tightened it. This meant that Jiang Bai should not be impulsive, and what the other party said was true.
In response, Jiang Bai smiled and patted Yao Lan's hand, and glanced at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"I have also heard about your background. My subordinates have already introduced you to me when you came in. I don't think you need to say more, right? I heard that you are Young Master Wei? I wonder what your identity is?"
"Humph, Jiang Bai, who do you think you are! Don't think that just because you have some local influence, you can be lawless. You can ask about Young Master Wei's identity?"
Before Young Master Wei could speak, Mr. Zhang Ju, who was choked by Jiang Bai just now, had already spoken. When he spoke, he did not hide his disdain and contempt for Jiang Bai at all.
There were four of them. Except for a slightly thin young man in the middle who buried his head without saying a word, the other three all showed this expression.
Among them, naturally, Young Master Wei was included.
However, this Young Master Wei waved his hand after Zhang Ju said this and said lightly: "Zhang Ju, this is your fault. Since people want to ask, just tell them, lest they think I am The title of Young Master Wei is unworthy."
After he said this, another young man in his twenties stood up and said, "Jiang Bai, you can go to the imperial capital and ask around. Who doesn't know our Young Master Wei? I'll scare you to death if I tell you the background of our Young Master Wei!" Young Master Wei's grandfather served at the top level in the central government, and his father is now also in charge of local power. I won't tell you the specific position, but you can't afford to offend him anyway!"
Jiang Bai smiled at this, and had a general understanding of the situation of several people, and then said noncommittally: "It's not as simple as having a meal for the few people who have worked hard to come here."
Mr. Wei who was sitting over there didn't say anything, but Zhang Ju next to him said, "Hey, it's true. We three brothers came all the way here, so naturally we wouldn't just eat your poor meal."
"Now that you're here, I'm not afraid to tell you that Mr. Wei has taken a liking to your Empire Logistics and Empire Online. I think it's pretty good and wants to buy it."
"Buy it?"
Jiang Bai raised his lips slightly and said noncommittally.
The prospects for Empire Logistics and Empire Online are self-evident.
In recent months, due to the rapid development of financial support, it has now begun to spread across the country. The effects of online shopping have initially appeared, and the two companies have flourished.
Although there are not many assets now and the scale is not too big, it is already the leader of two emerging industries.
Given time, the value is immeasurable.
