Song Yuzhang

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Chamber of Commerce convened all members of Haizhou to hold a business conference for the new year.

There are a total of 470 members of the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce, large and small, and the auditorium is full. The first two rows of seats are reserved for the core members of the Chamber of Commerce. The names are pasted on the seats, and they are all in a carefully arranged order. , one cannot be wrong.

When Song Yuzhang came, the front row seats were almost full, but the first and second seats were absent.

Meng Tingjing and Nie Yinbing.

Song Yuzhang stared at the two names with his hands in his pockets, then sat down on the third seat.

According to the current structure of Haizhou, the position of the old chairman is well arranged.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Nie family is just in chaos now. After a while of chaos, it will get better. The old chairman knows that if Nie Xueping is still there, the order of the Nie and Meng families may not be easy to arrange.

Song Yuzhang stroked the strap with his fingers, feeling very calm.

There was constant chatter behind him, and Song Yuzhang was on the right hand of Haizhou's "seasoning tycoon". Haizhou's soy sauce, salt and vinegar were all produced by his family, and the portion was really heavy. Chat with him soon.

When the two were chatting and laughing, the condiment tycoon looked serious and immediately stood up, "Boss Meng."

Meng Tingjing came.

In an instant, dozens of people stood up in the front row to greet him.

Meng Tingjing's voice was neither high nor low, his tone was neither salty nor weak, and his attitude was polite and alienated. He said "Happy New Year" to everyone in a general way. He glanced at the vacant seats and glanced at Song Yuzhang from the corner of his eye. Song Yuzhang Today's black suit and black coat look very cold and upright.

Meng Tingjing sat down in the first place, raised one leg, and looked towards the festively arranged rostrum ahead.

At [-]:[-], the old chairman also arrived. As soon as he entered the venue, there were movements all over the place. Today is his resignation. The old chairman has been the chairman of the chamber of commerce for more than ten years, and has been working hard to mediate among various businessmen. The contradiction between the abbreviation and the muddy mud, it is really not easy to reconcile for more than ten years. Although there is not much courage, it is indeed highly respected. Many small businesses have received his favor and love him very much.

Greetings and congratulations came one after another, and the venue was very lively for a while.

"There are talented people from generation to generation," the old chairman sighed while greeting others, "I am really pleased to see you all in full bloom."

Everyone knows the elegance when they hear the stringed songs.

Today is not only the time for the old chairman to step down, but also the day to announce the next chairman of the chamber of commerce. Presumably this year's chairman of the chamber of commerce will be a "glorious" figure.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that when they come in and look at the order of the seats, who is the candidate, isn't it obvious at a glance?

It's not surprising, who can compete with the Meng family in Haizhou now?

Meng Tingjing stood up and greeted the old chairman. The old chairman said a few words to him, then took his hand, patted and said, explaining something earnestly in his words, and even more so that the matter could no longer be implemented.

"Drink ice."

Song Yuzhang stretched out his hand.

Nie Yinbing arrived on time at nine o'clock, and all the people in the hall crowded together in one pile, and passed through the crowd under Song Yuzhang's signal.

"I know your temper," Song Yuzhang said with a smile, "it won't be a minute late, and it won't be a minute early."

Nie Yinbing glanced at the names on the seats and sat down.

"Isn't that right?"

Song Yuzhang seemed to hear him questioning his own behavior pattern for the first time, he smiled, "There's nothing wrong, it's good that you are like this."

"This is Mr. Nie Er?"

The old chairman let go of Meng Tingjing's hand and took the initiative to say hello to Nie Yinbing.

Nie Yinbing stood up, "I am Nie Yinbing."

The old chairman looked him up and down, and said with emotion: "It's really a hero out of a boy."

Nie Yinbing didn't think he was a hero, and he didn't think he was a teenager, so he just responded in silence.

The old chairman did not insist on socializing, and stepped back a little, glanced at the three of them, and then said, "Haizhou will depend on you young people in the future." There was a trace of sadness on his face, and Song Yuzhang also stood up, saying: "Where is this? We young people are too inexperienced, and I need you to give me some advice, Chairman."

The old chairman said: "Hey, you don't need to be humble. President Song, you jointly build railways, issue bonds, and raise funds... These things are beyond what an old guy like me can think of. I'm old, and the future is in your hands—Meng Boss, the three of you will work together with the government to build the railway. I am very relieved, you are all young people with the same thinking, and you must cooperate well."

Standing beside Meng Tingjing was Nie Yinbing, who couldn't laugh no matter what, and just said lightly, "Definitely."

It was time for the meeting, the old chairman came to the stage, and the three of them sat down one by one. After sitting down, there was a clear meaning in an instant. Song Yuzhang pulled Nie Yinbing's sleeve, and Nie Yinbing turned his face away. He whispered.

Meng Tingjing came out on top, alone, with his palms crossed, all ten fingers exerting strength, and between the fingers, the bones were competing against themselves.

Throughout the new year, Meng Tingjing has been competing with herself.

Meng Tingjing thought about what Meng Sushan said on New Year's Eve, and suddenly realized that the words were somewhat familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered them.

Song Yuzhang also said similar things to him: the two of them are not suitable, they can't be together, and if they are together, they will only hurt each other. If a lover can't do it, he will become an enemy. Between is a dead end.

At that time, seven of them were dissatisfied and eight were angry. He didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that what Song Yuzhang said was wrong. Why couldn't they be together, and why did Song Yuzhang call their relationship a deadlock?

As a result, times have changed, and Song Yuzhang really hit the mark.

As expected of his rich experience, Song Yuzhang was more accurate than him in this matter, so he was really wrong?Meng Tingjing still hasn't figured out how to go and what to do next.

He has always been a decisive person, but he hesitated in this matter.

Then he quickly figured out why he was like this.

Because he can't afford to lose.

Going wrong, maybe the story between him and Song Yuzhang is really over.

The old chairman was old-fashioned, and he talked non-stop for more than an hour, and he was really touched, and even choked up a few times, and the audience applauded several times.

After resting for two and a half hours, the old chairman finally showed signs of pausing. He put on his reading glasses, picked up the documents on the side, and slowly talked about the highlight of the federation.

"I am over seventy years old, my body and energy are not as good as before, and I am really unable to handle various affairs. I am very grateful to all of you for your support and help to my work as the chairman of the chamber of commerce over the years. After deliberation among the members of the federation, it was decided to elect Meng Tingjing As the chairman of the next chamber of commerce, in a special period, in order to save the process, and for the sake of openness and fairness, according to the regulations announced in advance, this election will be held for a public vote by show of hands at this meeting. If more than half of the people agree, the election can be done on the same day take effect."

After the old chairman finished reading the document and put it down, the man sat forward, approached the microphone and said, "Did everyone hear clearly? Please raise your hand if you hear clearly."

Specialists were set up on both sides of each row in the auditorium to count the number of people. After the old chairman's voice fell, it took less than half a minute to report the number from back to front.

Seeing this, the old chairman nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Then please vote next time, colleagues who agree that Meng Tingjing will be the next chairman of the chamber of commerce, please raise your hands."

Soon, people began to raise their hands in the arena, like an undulating wave from front to back.

Meng Tingjing sat firmly in the chief seat, without turning his face. He didn't need to look at the results to know what happened today. He was counting the number of people before and after, and the counting sound came like a relay. He glanced at the right side, and he didn't need to look carefully, he could see clearly at a glance——Song Yuzhang didn't raise his hand.

Meng Tingjing's face was cold, and he wanted to be calm in his heart, but he couldn't. The turbulent waves were beating and bumping in his chest, and there was a force in his body that was urging him. He wished he could immediately drag Song Yuzhang to ask him what point he was looking for. Why don't you choose him?

Meng Tingjing doesn't believe a single word of nonsense about Shang Yanshang. He himself is in power, and the entire Meng family and even the Meng family's property are the embodiment of his will to power. What is fame used for?Just to make him happy!There is only one reason why Song Yuzhang didn't choose him, he didn't want to!

Meng Tingjing did not lack his vote, but if he really lacked this vote, he still felt like a thorn in his throat.

The number was quickly passed on to the rostrum, and the old chairman pressed his palm to signal everyone to put their hands down, moved the microphone, and said: "Okay, there are 470 people in the chamber of commerce, and 240 people voted for it, so I announce this Even if the election is passed—" The old chairman raised his eyelids and saw someone raising his hand in the front row. He pressed his hand and said, "You can put your hand down."

He raised his eyes again, and found that the raised hand was still not put down, and his eyes behind the reading glasses were narrowed. He took a closer look and said, "President Song, do you have any objections?"

Meng Tingjing was finally able to see the past properly.

The slender arm was raised lazily, and then slowly lowered, Song Yuzhang said: "Yes."

The old chairman said: "Is it an objection about the next chairman of the chamber of commerce?"

"Yes."

"This..." The old chairman looked back and forth at the people around him with some hesitation, and also glanced down the stage. Meng Tingjing had already leaned forward and sat up straight, looking at Song Yuzhang.

The old chairman thought to himself that he was young and energetic, and he was probably used to mediation because of some commercial conflicts, so he said, "Let's talk about it after the meeting if there are any objections."

"Chairman," Song Yuzhang folded his hands and said against the imposing eyes of the next person: "The election regulations issued in the third grade of junior high school were approved by more than half of the votes. If some people object, then it needs to be re-discussed, right?"

The old chairman checked the documents in his hand and nodded, "That's right."

However, one-half passed and more than one-third opposed.

Because most of the remaining half of the people neither agree nor oppose, clearly opposing and not expressing their views are not the same thing.

More than one-third of the people object, that is, there must be more than 100 people who oppose it. No matter how you calculate it, it is no less difficult to collect more than 100 people who vote against it.

The old chairman had doubts, but at the same time he was worried.

Since Song Yuzhang dared to object on the spot, he must have full confidence.

The old chairman looked at Meng Tingjing. He naturally hoped for a smooth handover in his heart, and wanted to signal Meng Tingjing to say something so as to suppress Song Yuzhang's proposal, and forget about it.

However, Meng Tingjing didn't seem to have received his message, and was staring at Song Yuzhang with a sideways face.

"President Song, do you really want to raise an objection?" The old chairman confirmed it again without giving up, and simply reminded Meng Tingjing again, "Boss Meng?"

Meng Tingjing couldn't hear anything in his ears, and couldn't see anything in his eyes. All his senses were occupied by Song Yuzhang who was sitting one seat away. He only listened to Song Yuzhang saying: "Yes, I want to raise an objection."

The whole place was silent.

Many people in the front row also looked in the direction of Song Yuzhang and Meng Tingjing, and began to whisper.

The old chairman looked at Meng Tingjing again and again, seeing that he was still unresponsive, he could only cough lightly, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Then, is there anyone who objects to Meng Tingjing being the next chairman of the chamber of commerce? , it’s not convenient to raise your hands, so stand up.”

Standing up is more eye-catching than raising hands. In the eyes of the old chairman, there should not be many people responding to such a clear objection.

Sure enough, the audience was still silent.

The old chairman breathed a sigh of relief.

Without finishing breathing, Song Yuzhang stood up.

He was in the front row, with a slender and tall figure, and he was so conspicuous that he could not be ignored when he stood up.

Dozens of people immediately stood up in the quiet arena. These people stood up almost instantly, as if they were waiting for a signal.

Nie Yinbing also stood up.

Another group of people also stood up, also quickly and neatly.

The old chairman was completely taken aback. He lowered his glasses slightly, looked back, and found that most of the people who stood up were engaged in private banking or related to it, and the other group were fans of the former Nie family. But the relationship has faded long ago...

"Far in the sky, right in front of you."

Nie Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Are you kidding me? This is not a good thing to say, but I have to tell the truth. With the strength of your Song Family Bank, why should you suppress those people?"

"Of course the Song Family Bank is not big enough," Song Yuzhang raised one leg, "Then, what about the chairman of the chamber of commerce?"

……

"Chairman," Song Yuzhang looked up at the rostrum, "please count."
