Part 2: The Great Sugar of Dongtu Chapter 305
ed about it. Shu Tinglan gave a brief explanation of the situation, omitting any mention of her argument with Lin Zhifan. Cheng Chen agreed with her, saying that such a man should be avoided. At the t...After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Zhao Tingxing took the microphone. Under the gaze of thousands of people, he remained calm and collected. “As you all know, I once went through a trough in my career. At that time, I was on the verge of bankruptcy. My company, which had nearly 10,000 employees, was left with only a dozen. I remember that in the main building of our southwest headquarters, those dozen employees sang ‘Start Over’ for me, giving me a lot of strength. Today, we have gradually expanded from a dozen employees to thousands. I can finally say that I have not let down the trust and expectations of those dozen employees. We can develop from a dozen employees to thousands, so we are sure to recreate past glories. Currently, we have a presence in southwest, Senzhou, and Beijing. From commercial buildings to residential areas, our market share has reached nearly 50%...”
He is not modest, nor does he need to be. This kind of occasion is a good opportunity for promotion and to boost market confidence in them.
He then briefly introduced the businesses of each module of the company, and finally, his voice softened, looking at the figure on the far left of the large screen in front of him, he said: “Last but not least, I want to thank someone here.”
"When Han Li heard this, she also looked up at the big screen. It seemed that he was looking in her direction, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she heard him say: “I want to thank her for all the support she has given me. From Zhao Shi's early representative buildings to the design of this building today and its layout, it was all done by her. She appeared at every turning point in my career. Without her, I might not have had the motivation to get out of the trough."
Zhao Tingxing was speaking, and Yan Jun, beside Han Li, muttered, "Turns out it wasn't thanking my sister."
Han Li shifted his gaze, no longer looking at the large screen.
But on the big screen, only she suddenly appeared, and Zhao Tingxing's voice rang in her ear: "She is my designer, Han Li."
Everyone burst into laughter and looked at Han Li, even making way for her to walk to the front.
Zhao Tingxing seemed to have changed, yet remained the same, making him the center of everyone's attention. Han Li smiled, raising her heels and standing beside Zhao Tingxing with grace. She took the microphone and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I'm just doing what a designer should do. My team and I always uphold the design philosophy of integrating humanistic care in innovation, putting people first. This aligns with Mr. Zhao's ideas, so we were able to collaborate well. We also welcome everyone to contact us anytime if you need anything."
Anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Tingxing was praising her, with a strong personal agenda. As for Han Li, she neither refuted his words nor gave him face, but cleverly used three or two sentences to turn the private matter into a public one, without any personal emotions.
Zhao Tingxing took the microphone and glanced at her as if casually. At such a close distance, he couldn't tell if it was the scent of her hair or the faint perfume on her body that filled his nostrils.
He wasn't this sensitive before, he couldn't smell anything like perfume or cologne, but maybe because he hadn't been around women for too long, even a hint of fragrance made his heart race. He was really becoming pathetic, he thought to himself with a smirk.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, everyone dispersed, each going to their own circles for socializing. Zhao Tingxing first went to chat with Xu ZeFang, Xiao Cai, and Wang Zong for a while; they were here on behalf of Gu Ruandong, so there wasn't much need to say. He then chatted with several real estate tycoons from the Beijing circle for a while to solidify relationships, and finally returned to Cheng Shaofan and Yan Jin's side.
Cheng ShaoFan has always been indifferent to him, and Zhao TingXing is the same. However, due to the relationship between Yan Jin and Han Li, both sides have to maintain a superficial harmony.
Throughout the entire event, she seemed to be a ghost, but upon closer inspection, one could see her subtly navigating among the real estate moguls, building connections.
Zhao Tingxing, while dealing with others, kept his eyes on her. He had seen her many times in a work setting, serious, confident, radiant, and very captivating.
Yán Jǐn smiled coldly from the side: "Look again, and you'll see right through him."
Yan Jin wasn't completely indifferent to Zhao Ting. She found his domineering nature appealing, both in appearance and personality. However, after a few interactions, she realized the depth of his feelings for Han Li and decided to withdraw her interest. It was better not to pursue a losing battle and cut her losses early on.
But now seeing him like this, I can't help but be a little snarky.
Zhao Tingxing then withdrew his gaze, absentmindedly.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning, there was a small banquet. Later that evening, Zhao Tingxing invited Xu Zefang and Wang, among others, to dinner separately. Compared to other people in the business world, Xu Zefang and the others were considered genuine friends who could socialize. So, in front of them, he relaxed a bit, drank quite a bit, and his mood gradually became low, then he silently sipped a few more cups.
"Damn it, I didn't come to Beijing to see drunkards." Xu Ze Fang cursed, actually, today he and Zhao Ting Xing drank happily, he also had quite a bit, that Mr. Wang also drank quite a bit, the three of them cursed once, chatted for a while, the scene was lively.
Only Xiao Cai was the most sober throughout the whole affair, after all, as a secretary, she had to keep an eye on these gentlemen.
After Xu Ze Fang finished cursing, he pulled out his phone: "I'll call Shao Gu, and tell him to come here now. It's remote here, my sister-in-law can't see us, so he can drink as much as he wants."
Xu Ze fang has not had a good time drinking with his brothers for too long, and now he especially wants to see Gu Ruan dong.
Xiaocai hurriedly stopped him: "It's late, Mr. Gu is probably asleep. Let's contact him tomorrow."
But where could Xu Zefang be stopped
He had dialed Gu Ruandong's personal phone number. As soon as the phone rang once, the other party answered, but, it seemed, by accident, a misdial.
A indescribable sound came, and just as Xu Ze Fang had it on speakerphone, despite everyone on the field being drunk, they all fell silent instantly....
Xiao Cai, quick as a flash, pressed the phone and hung up on Xu Ze fang. As an assistant, one must always remain alert and protect the boss's privacy.
Xu ZeFang reacted, wanting to yell something about dog abuse, but he didn't dare. He just grumbled: "It's the middle of the night and you're still so energetic My young master Gu has this much stamina..."
Then he got up and said to Zhao Ting, "Let's not waste time."
Zhao Tingxing got up and walked out: "You go ahead, I'm going home."
People are now extremely chaste and have no interest in women outside their own circle, even if they have physiological needs, they endure them.
After all, I don't want to live like an animal anymore.
Xu Zefang, after being treated like that, had no more heart for it. "This bunch is getting increasingly boring, Xiao Cai, do you want to go"
Little Cai hurriedly shook his head: "My family is strict, I won't go."
Xu ZeFang glanced at Wang Zong again, thinking to himself that this old scoundrel ate everything under the sun. Asking him was pointless; he would definitely be more enthusiastic than Xu ZeFang himself.
"Old rascal Wang, you're not getting me involved this time. Don't look at me, I won't go. If Mrs. Gu finds out, she'll blame me for corrupting you again and deduct tens of millions from my account. I would be innocent! You want to play, go ahead and play yourself."After she got into the car, she joked."This is what Dad's daily routine looks like!""What a beauty!" Lin Zhixian knew what kind of person she was.She thought that when she got home, her mother, who ha...
