PFC Chapter 1204: Flattered?
Chapter 1204: Flattered?
The mother and daughter rested in the villa, but the business party in City D was still going on.
In the lounge, Mr. Zhuang San was talking with the mayor and several prominent figures in City D. The Four Leopards of the Capital sat on each side, making it look like two armies joining forces.
When the young and beautiful waitress handed over the teacup five times, Boss Qin leaned towards Mr. Zhuang San and asked in a low voice.
"Brother, are you going to take a break?"
"I'm a little tired." Mr. Zhuang San said frankly.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's work and rest schedule was very regular, and he usually rested at this time. It was natural that his body would feel uncomfortable if his routine, which he had developed over ten or twenty years, was disrupted for a day.
Boss Qin turned around and said a few words to Shi Laosan next to him. Shi Laosan whispered a few words to Zhuang Qianyao next to him, then stood up and prepared to end the meeting, saying a few polite words.
Everyone present was a bit surprised, as many projects hadn't even been finalized yet. They'd gone to all that trouble to bring in the Beijing Four, and yet nothing had been finalized, and now it was over?
"We have arranged some exciting programs later..." The people from City D quickly stood up and said, but before they finished speaking, Zhuang Qianyao stood up and stretched.
"We will not participate in the following programs. We are also exhausted today. We are not as young as you. We will feel empty inside if we don't take a rest at this time. If there is anything important that we haven't finished discussing today, we can continue it tomorrow. Big brother and we will not leave until noon. Okay, that's it. I have to go to rest. Are you leaving, big brother?" Shi Zhenlin changed the subject directly, leaving no room for maneuver.
Zhuang Zhoucheng stood up straight, and his brothers had paved the way for him. With more than half a century of brotherly understanding, they could basically understand each other with just a glance.
"Let's go. It's time to rest. Mayor Wu, I'll take my leave first." Zhuang Zhoucheng said with a smile.
"Third Master..." Mayor Wu quickly stood up to see him off, and the president of the D City Chamber of Commerce and his entourage also stood up shortly after. The person had already stated that he needed to rest, so how could they be forced to stay?
Zhuang Zhoucheng thanked him with a smile and was the first to walk out of the meeting room. Following him were the serious-looking Boss Qin, Shi Zhenlin, and Zhuang Laosi.
As Zhuang Zhoucheng and his group walked through the Chamber of Commerce hall, almost everyone looked at them in unison, as if saluting.
As the group walked towards the hall's exit, Mr. Zhuang San suddenly stopped, his gaze scanning the chamber of commerce for a moment. Shi Zhenlin whispered, "Brother, are you looking for Mr. Zhuang's son-in-law?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded. Zhuang Qianyao beside him had a slightly darkened look when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Shi Zhenlin called a waiter over and whispered a few words to him. The waiter immediately walked in and moved among the people who were all looking towards the banquet door.
Someone gently touched Zhou Haoyu's arm, "It seems that Mr. Zhuang is waiting for you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Haoyu immediately looked over, gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Really?" But while asking the question, he put down the wine glass in his hand and strode out of the crowd.
Zhuang Zhoucheng only said softly, "Go to bed early."
"Yes, Dad." Zhou Haoyu immediately responded respectfully, and the scene was like a picture of a loving father and a filial son.
Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded, and everyone followed him away.
Now that the main characters have left, there's no point in keeping Mayor Wu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and other big bosses around. They've already left after the fight.
After the group of "old stubborn people" left, the atmosphere at the scene finally warmed up, and gradually there was a bit of a party feeling. However, it was really late, and apart from seizing the last time to accumulate some interpersonal relationships, it was basically impossible for the people in the Chamber of Commerce to facilitate any major cases.
However, during this last period of time, Zhou Haoyu was the target of everyone's attention and became famous overnight.
One of Mr. Zhuang's two sons was still studying and had intellectual disabilities. Of course, these were just rumors, as he had only repeated a grade year after year. This kind of bizarre incident broke the precedent of aristocratic families. What other son, at the age of 20, would still be carrying a child on his shoulders and rushing to middle school? It was hilarious, wasn't it?
As for Master Zhuang's other son, well, forget it. He was a complete jerk, incredibly naughty. It was said that Master Zhuang couldn't discipline him, so he listened to his father and sent him to the army. If he hadn't been sent to the army, who knows how much trouble he would have gotten into.
So, no matter how capable Mr. Zhuang San is, he is just a business legend of his generation. It is easy to make a fortune but difficult to keep it. The empire built by Mr. Zhuang San was handed over to two sons, so it depends on whether these two sons have the ability to keep it.
Since his two sons are not doing well, Mr. Zhuang Sanye might really promote his son-in-law in the end. After all, the eldest son of the Zhuang family is an adopted son. It is better to give him to a daughter than to a person with an outsider. After all, the daughter is the blood of the Zhuang family.
How could one not understand how satisfied Third Master Zhuang was with this son-in-law, judging by what had just happened? He was incredibly caring, so whether or not Third Master Zhuang was a good friend, then, as a second best option, establishing a connection with the son-in-law of the Zhuang family was also a good option. Once the partnership was established, with the Zhuang family backing them, why would they even need to worry about profits?
It was already late when Zhou Haoyu left the Chamber of Commerce. He had drunk quite a bit of wine. Regardless of whose connection it was, he had become famous in this Chamber of Commerce, allowing more entrepreneurs to know his name. He received numerous projects and companies that were interested in cooperating with him, including some of the large enterprises that he had longed for.
Zhou Haoyu got out of the elevator, loosened his tie, and looked very unhappy.
"Mr. Zhou..."
The assistant quickly caught up with him, extremely happy. If he had known that the title of Mr. Zhuang Sanye's son-in-law was so useful, the company wouldn't have been stagnant for the past two years.
"All the contracts, projects and business cards of big bosses submitted today will be filtered out. Projects will be classified from high to low based on their investment return. Business cards of bosses whose corporate assets are less than 1 billion will be thrown away directly..." Zhou Haoyu said in a deep voice.
“...Yes!” The assistant was stunned for three seconds before responding. Just because of the words of the third master of the banker, Mr. Zhou’s reputation immediately rose?
The assistant returned to the room with a large pile of gains. Zhou Haoyu walked towards his presidential suite, stopped at the door, and leaned against the wall for a while.
He needed some time to come to terms with what he had easily gotten tonight. Basically, the entrepreneurs who extended olive branches to him were the ones he had shamelessly approached to seek cooperation but had been turned away.
There is such a gap between people. The things that he had tried every possible way to obtain but could not get before, now all came to his door because of a word and an attitude from Mr. Zhuang Sanye.
Are you flattered?
No, besides being happy, he also felt like he was slapped in the face. All of this was not directed at him personally, but at another person's face.
Zhou Haoyu stood outside for a while and swiped his card to open the door.
Then when he entered the room, he was shocked because the Third Master was sitting steadily on the chair waiting for him!
