hairy mouth

──This can also be considered a Hongmen Banquet, right?

The restaurant is on the North Second Ring Road, and the road was a bit congested, so Ke Xiaoxi arrived a little faster.The table was already open when he entered the room.

There were five people in the private room: Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan's assistant Xiao Zhang'er, Wang Song, and a man and a woman who Ke Xiaoxi didn't know.

It started without waiting for me, obviously a high-level meal.Wang Songzai didn't let him call me but asked Qin Yuan to call me so that I couldn't refuse.why?Why must I participate?What's so special about those two people?Ke Xiaoxi was puzzled, and walked towards the dinner table with a smile neither humble nor overbearing.

Qin Yuan stood up, called Ke Xiaoxi over and arranged him by his side, and then introduced to the man and woman, "This is the person in charge of our company's advertising production department, Ke Xiaoxi. He supervised the planning and production of the set of advertisements you saw. .And the viral video with the best spreading effect was his own idea. Xiaoxi, this is Wu Qifan, the boss of Vision Visual Media. My good friend is also my senior in college, but when I was a freshman he I’m about to graduate from graduate school. Fortunately, we’re both from Shanghai, and we got to know each other through a few introductions from fellow villagers.”

"Shanghai people" is the dialect spoken by Qin Yuan. Wu Qifan smiled at him, and Qin Yuan continued: "I was taken care of by my seniors at school back then. We haven't seen each other for many years. He came back to Beijing to do something. It's a personal matter. I went to see me at the company in the morning, and I happened to see your work, so I must introduce you to him."

According to what Qin Yuan said, Wu Qifan should be almost forty.But he looks young, looking younger than his actual age.Standing tall should not be short from sitting height.He wears a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and he doesn't look very handsome, but his facial features can be regarded as well-rounded.He kept smiling, with a sense of scheming, the kind of smile Ke Xiaoxi didn't like.

Wu Qifan stretched out his hand towards Ke Xiaoxi, "So young? Young talent."

Ke Xiaoxi stood up and shook hands, "Boss Wu, thank you."

"This is Mrs. Wu." Qin Yuan continued to introduce, "We chatted for a while just now. It's a coincidence that you two are fellow villagers."

"Ah?!" Ke Xiaoxi looked at the woman beside Wu Qifan in surprise, "Madam Wu is..."

The woman pursed her lips and stretched out her hand, "My name is Xu Min, I should call you Sister Min. Don't be Mrs. Madam, it's like acting in a TV series. It sounds awkward."

Xu Min? !Ke Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat: Did I remember wrongly?Isn't Yan Yan's mother named Xu Min? !No way...Damn it!No wonder you say I'm from my hometown...

Ke Xiaoxi also shook hands with Xu Min stiffly.After shaking hands and sitting down, he had completely forgotten what he was going to say just now.Qin Yuan began to frantically pour the wine, and Ke Xiaoxi's mind had already exploded into a pot of porridge.

The world is too small, and things are too coincidental!Why? !Do I have to meet all the people who have a relationship with Fang Tiejun again? !It wouldn't be written like that in the novel, would it? !It's not like that in the movie!

It seems that Qin Yuan still doesn't know the relationship between Xu Min and Tie Jun.Wu Qifan is in the media, Qin Yuan and Wang Song are both there, and he called me again, it must be a matter of work.But Qin Yuan will know that Xu Min is Yan Yan's mother sooner or later, and she came to Beijing to find Tie Jun for her daughter.And Wu Qifan and Xu Min will know about my relationship with Tie Jun sooner or later. By then...if there is any business relationship between the two companies...Ke Xiaoxi has a very strong bad feeling.

No one was talking about work at the wine table. It was Qin Yuan and Wu Qifan who were always reminiscing about their youthful years in school, with a few words of Shanghainese occasionally mixed in Mandarin.Ke Xiaoxi was surprised to find that Qin Yuan's alcohol capacity was actually very good.Think about it too: in China, there may not be many company bosses who can't drink well.However, what surprised Ke Xiaoxi even more was Wang Song.He has always claimed that he can drink a thousand cups, but for some reason today, he appeared drunk after drinking a few cups.

Soon Wang Song stood up and walked to the door of the private room, saying that he was going to the bathroom.The waiter standing at the door pointed to the small door next to it and said there was one in the private room.

Wang Song was not happy about it, and he was a bit drunk, "I didn't know there was one here? I'm going outside, can't I?"

The waiter didn't speak any more, and quickly made a "please" gesture to open the door.

Wang Song swayed out step by step.

Ke Xiaoxi looked at his crooked back full of doubts and was wondering why Qin Yuan suddenly patted him, "Xiaoxi, go and have a look, don't you want to vomit."

"Huh?" Ke Xiaoxi just wanted to say that Wang Song's drinking capacity is not enough, but when she turned her head and saw Qin Yuan blinking at herself, Ke Xiaoxi reacted and hurriedly got up and chased after him, changing the subject, "This kid is good at drinking, I usually drink these and lie down early."

Assistant Zhang at the side pretended to owe his ass, "Shall I go with you?"

Ke Xiaoxi waved her hand, "No need, I can do it myself."

The moment the door of the private room closed behind Ke Xiaoxi, he heard Wu Qifan say to Qin Yuan: "Why is it that someone from sales is so bad at drinking?"

How did Qin Yuan answer that Ke Xiaoxi didn't hear it, but Wang Song looked back and saw Ke Xiaoxi coming out and shouted hypocritically: "I'm fine! I don't need your help!"

Ke Xiaoxi chased him, not only did not help him, but also pushed him, "Still pretending?! I can't hear you inside!"

Wang Song smiled, and dragged Ke Xiaoxi into a public restroom in the corridor.

"Where did you and Jerry sing?" Ke Xiaoxi asked as soon as he entered.

"That's what happened..." Wang Song stood by the urinal and unbuttoned his pants.

"Damn, are you really peeing?"

"Come here, don't urinate in vain."

"..."

"You pee too?"

"Speak the truth!"

Wang Song washed his hands after urinating, "Wu Qifan just arrived in Beijing yesterday and said he was doing business with his wife, but Jerry and I thought it was just an excuse."

"how to say?"

"Our company received an email this morning. The content is a simple bidding intention."

"Tendering intention?"

"Well, all the print and video advertisements for the perfume, make-up, and all clothing-related products of the Lovelace Angel series, including clothing, shoes, hats, bags, and jewelry, within one year. If the first phase works well, I can consider it in the future Long-term cooperation."

"Loveless? Aren't their advertisements always done in their own country?"

"Now that the competition is so fierce, and the Chinese market share is getting heavier and heavier, I still want to keep costs down."

Ke Xiaoxi nodded, "Then you mean that Wu Qifan's coming to Beijing has something to do with this matter?"

Wang Song smiled, but did not answer directly: "After reading the email, Jerry asked. Lovelice sent emails to [-] companies this time, and ten of them will receive the tender. Jerry I found someone to make a round of phone calls and heard about some other bidding companies. Among the other nine companies, Vision Visual Media is among them. Moreover, other companies are easy to talk about. They are either too small or inexperienced, and they have the most strength to compete with us What competes is horizon."

"You mean...Wu Qifan came to Beijing apparently for a personal matter, but in fact he was bidding? Looking for Jerry is also pretending to be in touch with an old classmate, but in fact it is to find out the bottom line of our company?"

"Yes, it is obvious. Comparing the two, the advantage of Vision is that they are professional in advertising and video, and the disadvantage is that they do a lot of electronic products and network marketing, and the production department is not in Beijing. Our advantage lies in the geographical factors. In addition, we are already familiar with cosmetics advertising, and we have also done a lot of clothing advertising. The fly in the ointment is that some of our company's products conflict with Lovelys, but everything has two sides. If this matter is negotiated, conflicts can turn into cooperation. So the current situation is that there seem to be sixteen companies participating in the competition, but there are only two companies with comparable strength.

"Jerry said that Wu Qifan has not contacted him for many years, but today he suddenly called and insisted on going to the company to see him. Obviously, Wu Qifan also obtained relevant information about other bidding companies through some channels, so he made an excuse. To see Jerry. But now we both have to pretend we don't know about it."

The amount of information is a bit large, Ke Xiaoxi thought for a while, "Then why are you in a hurry to find me? Isn't the official bidding document not out yet?"

"Wu Qifan insisted on meeting you after seeing your work in the company this morning, saying that there is a suitable project that he would like to discuss cooperation with."

"Cooperation?"

"Of course there isn't a real collaboration—at least not anytime soon. He just wants to get to know you."

"Know what I do?"

"What else can I do? Knowing that you are the person in charge of the advertising production department, I want to get in touch with you and keep in touch."

"keep in touch?"

"You still don't understand?"

Ke Xiaoxi thought about it again and understood, "You mean, Wu Qifan wants to get something from me when the bidding officially starts in the future?"

"Theoretically, that's how it is."

"Then you shouldn't have come to me at all."

"No, even if Wu Qifan doesn't mention it, we will find an excuse to bring you here."

"what?"

"First, if he wants to know you, he will know you sooner or later. Second, all bidding companies are the same. No one wants to know the details of their competitors."

"You mean, I should in turn ask more information from Wu Qifan?"

"Hmph, Wu Qifan is not a cheap lamp. It's probably useless to 'inquire', and there's no trace of it just based on a few words from this meeting. Isn't he under the guise of discussing cooperation? Jerry will find opportunities to let you talk to them I came into contact with the planners of the company. Today is just to get to know him and let you know what kind of person he is. Take it easy and observe more while drinking."

Ke Xiaoxi shook her head, "I don't think this is very reliable."

Wang Song smiled strangely, "Is there any reliable businessman? There is nothing impossible in the business field. You must know: Now your advertising production will be separated and set up a separate company. This is a big problem. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the contract with Lovelace, the operation of the company will basically not be a problem. The directors are all watching. As long as you bid for this bid, you will soon be able to take the lead. , the future is boundless!"

"Of course I know the stakes in this." Ke Xiaoxi saw the appearance of Fang Yanyan and Xu Min in her mind, and finally the two faces overlapped, "But..."

"But what?"

"Well...it's nothing. It's almost time for us to go back."
