Through Thick and Thin

Xia Hao took the vehicle arranged by Zhongming Fund to pick him up and came to the company. After getting off the car, Fang Jiaming and his secretary walked down the steps with warm smiles on their faces. The former shook hands with Xia Hao enthusiastically: "Mr. Xia, welcome! ah."

Seeing that the boss of Zhongming came out to greet him in person, Xia Hao couldn't help being a little surprised.

A bit of complacency flashed across Xia Hao's eyes, and he still smiled respectfully on his face: "Uncle Fang, you are being polite, how could you come in person."

Fang Jiaming patted Xia Hao on the back affectionately: "Hey, you don't need to be polite with uncle. After a while, Mr. Zhang of my company will take you around the company. After the tour is over, come to my office and sit. Uncle will make you some pots of good tea .”

Seeing Fang Jiaming's enthusiastic attitude, Xia Hao sneered slightly in his heart.

Whether it's genuine enthusiasm, or just because his father is standing behind him, Fang Jiaming will at least do enough superficial kung fu and flattery, unlike his lukewarm and unpredictable nephew, who is a little rich, The tail is up to the sky, and he doesn't even know who to curry favor with.

After handing over Xia Hao to Mr. Zhang, Fang Jiaming and the secretary went back to the chairman's office.

Fang Jiaming sat down on the sofa and said to the secretary, "Get some tea from my cabinet and prepare it."

"Okay, which would you like to drink?"

"Just find someone who has been pried to pieces." Fang Jiaming sneered, "It's just a worthless bastard, do you really think that Fang Jiaming will take good care of him? That face is very proud! Call him uncle, call him There are no rules!"

The secretary agreed, and turned to get the tea.

Xia Hao idly followed Mr. Zhang and a few entourages around the company, and listened to Mr. Zhang's introduction.

His father insisted on him coming today, Xia Hao was very reluctant in every possible way, and really felt that it was unnecessary.In his opinion, a fund company is just a money manager. He doesn't do securities business himself, so he can't see why. Why waste this time visiting?

After visiting several departments, Mr. Zhang said, "Mr. Xia, let's go to the Investment Research Department to have a look."

Xia Hao agreed casually, but he was very impatient in his heart. The work in the investment research department was boring and boring, and he didn't know what to watch.

Mr. Zhang was about to call the department director over there to say that Mr. Xia was coming, but another call came in first. The caller was Mr. Fang's secretary.

Mr. Zhang and Xia Hao said sorry, and answered the phone call from Mr. Fang: "Hi, Secretary Chen... Mr. Xia and I are in the marketing department... oh... oh... ok, I understand, we Go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhang smiled apologetically at Xia Hao: "Mr. Xia, you must be tired after walking around for so long, why don't we go to the research department. Secretary Chen said that Mr. Xiao came over suddenly, Mr. Fang asked me to take you up for tea quickly."

Xia Hao frowned, what is Xiao Zhan doing?

Xia Hao remained calm, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhan is here, that's just right, I haven't had time to thank him for the big gift he gave me on my birthday last time, let's take a look at other places next time when I have time." .”

After speaking, Xia Hao went to the chairman's office with a group of reception staff.

When Xia Hao came in, Xiao Zhan was sitting on a tea chair beside the mahogany tea table drinking tea.Compared with the usual rigorous three-piece suit, Xiao Zhan dressed more casually today. He wore a white shirt under the ordinary plain black suit, and even unbuttoned two collar buttons.

Seeing Xia Hao coming, Fang Jiaming said with a smile: "Mr. Xia is here, sit down, just now A Zhan called me suddenly and said he wanted to come over for tea, I think you must be bored after walking around for so long, so I will ask someone to bring you some tea." soaked."

Now that Xiao Zhan is here, Fang Jiaming is not stingy with his good tea. Before coming, he asks the secretary to take away the cheap goods prepared for Xia Hao and replace them with a limited cake of good tea.

Xiao Zhan and Xia Hao nodded their heads to show their greetings, without saying a word, they took a sip from the teacup and said to their uncle, "It's delicious, uncle, what kind of tea?"

"Fuyuan Red Ticket Round Cake, 20 per bucket." Fang Jiaming loves to chat with people about his tea collection, and he said it with great interest, "The taste is still worthy of this price, right?"

"Well, is there still a way to buy it?"

"Haha, if you accept it now, the price will have increased a long time ago, at least 25."

"Then trouble uncle to help me find it."

"Okay, no problem, how much do you want?"

"Two barrels."

Xia Hao sat on the side, without any manners when facing elders, with his arms draped on the back of the chair, he took a sip from his teacup casually.

While Fang Jiaming was speaking, he secretly glanced at Xia Hao, and sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, this person still needs to be compared.

Instead of comparing Xia Hao and Xiao Zhan's behavior and speech, let's just talk about his son Fang Shaojun, who is a worry all day long. Standing next to Xia Hao, he doesn't seem so ignorant.

Xia Hao put down his cup, and Fang Jiaming smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, this tea is indeed good tea. Since Xiao Zhan wants to buy it, I'm not welcome. Please contact me too, so I'll buy one... Eight Barrel."

Xiao Zhan's fingers slowly stroked the rim of the shallow teacup in his hand, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Jiaming has been in the mall for many years. Xia Hao, a rich young man who likes to show off, has seen it a lot, and smiled slowly: "President Xia is really generous, and he also likes to drink tea. ?"

"I'm average, but I can give it to others."

Xia Hao really didn't want to keep looking at Xiao Zhan's face, saying that his nephew looked like an uncle, and even looking at Fang Jiaming, he became impatient for a while, and just wanted to go back quickly.He sat in the office for a while, then said that he had something to do in the afternoon, took his leave and left.

Fang Jiaming inadvertently asked someone to send Xia Hao away, and he sat down on the sofa and said with a sneer, "You're still showing off with me, a brat who hasn't even grown a hair yet. Don't even look at yourself Whether you are capable or not depends on your father all day long."

Fang Jiaming paused, and suddenly asked: "Hey, why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you stay at home with your mother when she came here yesterday?"

Xiao Zhan's mother, Fang Yuehuai, had a university academic seminar in S city this afternoon, and happened to have a gathering with her son, younger brother and family, and she just got off the plane last night.

"My mother went to the seminar, and I came from home. I heard Xiaoqing said that Xia Hao came here to visit today, so I came to sit."

Fang Jiaming heard Xiao Zhan's intimacy suddenly, and he looked weird for a while. It took a long time to remember, and he slapped his thigh: "Oh, you are talking about Xiao Lu from the research department! You two are so affectionate! Seriously talk about it?"

Xiao Zhan: "Yes."

Fang Jiaming smiled and said: "Okay, I thought you were just talking casually at the beginning, how are others? You won't talk if it's bad, right?"

Xiao Zhan smiled, the meaning was self-evident.

"Then do you want to bring him to dinner with us tonight?"

"No, he definitely won't come." Xiao Zhan leisurely poured some tea into his teacup, with a slight smile in his voice, "He's thin-skinned."

"Hey, there's nothing to be shy about, young man."

"And he probably has to work overtime."

Fang Jiaming said "Hey" and said with a smile: "I heard what you said inside and outside the box, do you think I oppressed the employees?"

Fang Jiaming knew his nephew well, and from reading Xiao Zhan's words and his subtle expressions from time to time, Fang Jiaming knew that his nephew had been cold and cold for so long, and this time he really liked that little researcher surnamed Lu.

Fang Jiaming: "Is your kid finally planning to get married?"

Xiao Zhan said indifferently: "I'm not in a hurry, it depends on what he means."

"Then if you get married in the future, do you think he will continue to work with me? Or should he put his work aside and be a child?" Fang Jiaming asked, "He is a down-to-earth kid. If he continues to work, he will definitely have a future. Let him be completely Helping you take care of the family is indeed buried. But doing this line of work is very busy and hard."

Xiao Zhan: "Just as long as he decides."

Xiao Zhan drank some tea and was ready to go home.He came to the parking lot downstairs of the company, and just got into his car when his cell phone rang, and Lu Chuiqing called him.

At this time, Lu Chuiqing was secretly calling Xiao Zhan in the unmanned bathroom of the office. Half a minute ago, he was sitting at his desk writing a project report. Glanced out the window.

Lu Chuiqing's workstation is by the window, with a wide view, just facing the company's gate and the street.Looking out at this moment, Lu Chuiqing saw a figure in a black suit from the back in the company's green belt parking lot.

Even at such a distance, Lu Chuiqing recognized Xiao Zhan at a glance.Immediately, Lu Chuiqing hurriedly got down from the work station, ran into the bathroom, and secretly called Xiao Zhan.

After Xiao Zhan connected, Lu Chuiqing quickly asked, "Did you come to the company just now?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Didn't Xia Hao come to visit today?" Lu Chuiqing asked, "Did you run into him?"

A few days ago, Lu Chuiqing accidentally mentioned to Xiao Zhan that Xia Hao was going to visit the company this Friday.At that time, Xiao Zhan simply agreed, but he didn't hear that he would come over today.

Xiao Zhan: "Has he come to your department?"

"Ah? Didn't come, our department is very serious, so there's nothing to visit..."

"I just came here because I knew he would come today. It's fine if I don't go to your department."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's nothing, lessons learned from the past." Xiao Zhan didn't let Lu Chuiqing think carefully about what the lessons from the past meant, and continued, "My mother, uncle and I are going to have dinner together tonight. Are you working overtime today? Do you want to come together? "

"Your mother?! And Boss Fang?!" Lu Chuiqing choked, "Uh...well, it's too early to meet your family..."

Xiao Zhan had expected that Lu Chuiqing's reaction would be like this, and smiled: "If you don't want to come, don't use it."

Lu Chuiqing hesitated for a while, scratched her hair, and said with some embarrassment: "Well...how about you help me prepare a gift for your mother first, saying that I have to work overtime today and I'm sorry I can't go, when I think the timing is about the same I will seriously visit your family."

Xiao Zhan smiled slowly. He raised his head and looked towards the window of a certain floor of the company building: "Then I'm looking forward to that day."
