Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 483 Protagonist and Supporting Role

"It's good to be measured. Only when you know yourself and take precautions can you survive for a long time!" Li Weidong nodded and said.

Although Li Weidong doesn't know whether people like Liu Dachun can know themselves, being able to say this is considered progress. At least if they have the awareness of self-knowledge, they won't be far behind.

"Brother, you are right. We will definitely learn to be self-disciplined, reflect on ourselves frequently, and emulate wise men like you. I give you a toast!" Liu Dachun's flattery immediately came to his head.

At the wine shop, someone must pick up what the boss says, and it must be done as quickly and accurately as possible, so that the wine can be lively and must not be suddenly quiet.

Li Weidong felt comfortable after being photographed. He picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Liu Dachun. A glass of Moutai worth three yuan was poured into his stomach as soon as he raised his neck.

The bean cake next to him quickly filled Li Weidong with a wine dispenser and said with a smile, "Brother Dachun, wait a moment, do you think our brother is drinking this wine openly?"

"That's necessary!" Liu Dachun nodded, but felt something was wrong.

Doubiang heckled: "My brother is already so straightforward. Isn't it not interesting enough for you to drink from this small cup? Change it to a larger cup!"

"You will lead my army!" Liu Dachun glanced at Doubiang and said with a smile, then turned to look at Li Weidong and said, "Brother, I won Linghu Chong today, look at my performance!"

After Liu Dachun finished speaking, he held up the wine dispenser and tilted his neck. He poured half the glass of wine into his mouth, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed it directly. He then made a cup of wine, which is called Linghu Chong for short.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Tong Jiajia, Sha Xiaojun, and Zhang Dongshuo immediately clapped, and Li Weidong also applauded.

Liu Dachun naturally has the capacity to drink. He drinks and practices regularly. Some people practice in vain, but some people can become braver as they drink. Liu Dachun falls into the latter category. Alcohol tests.

"It's your turn now, Doubiang. Brother Li takes care of you so much, it's your turn to show it!" After Liu Dachun finished drinking, he turned the bottle over, looked at Doubiang and said with a smile.

Doubiang's face stiffened, he was careless, and he was fooling around without good results, but he soon changed his mind, and drank with the boss brother, not much.

"This pot of wine is too little, I have to fill it up!" As he spoke, Doubian stood up and took the bottle and began to pour himself wine.

Then he picked up the wine glass and said sincerely to Li Weidong: "Brother, I'd like to toast you. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

"What's going on? It's not the New Year or the festival. How can I express my feelings? Don't be fooled by Dachun. He drinks a lot!" Li Weidong advised while looking at the full glass.

"I'm not saying this with emotion, I mean it sincerely. I'm an alley guy who didn't finish high school. If you hadn't taken me with you, I would have gone in long ago!"

"Okay, I've said this so many times, but there's nothing new. I've already heard it. If you want to drink, I'll accompany you, but I don't have the capacity to drink like you!"

"Brother, if you just take a sip, you are looking up to me!" Doubi happily touched Li Weidong and said with a smile.

After more than two taels of wine, I drank it without even frowning. Several people at the wine table immediately started applauding again.

The atmosphere suddenly reached its peak. There must be someone at the wine table who can instigate the atmosphere. After a few glasses of wine and the mood is high, if there is one person who takes the lead, others will naturally follow.

"Hurry up and take a bite!" Li Weidong put a piece of nine-turn large intestine on the plate of bean cake. This unique taste is probably the only one that can wash away the smell of soy sauce and wine in his mouth.

Li Weidong put down his chopsticks and saw Tong Jiajia walking over with a smile on her face and holding a wine bottle.

"What's wrong today? Are you queuing up to get me drunk?" Li Weidong asked in surprise.

"How dare we? Even if we get drunk, we have to get drunk first!" Tong Jiajia smiled broadly and stood there with a glass of wine swaying in the air. The momentum of being at the top of the food chain for a long time did not show any sign of restraint in front of Li Weidong.

"Chairman, the New Year is not over yet. I would like to offer you a toast and wish you a happy New Year and all the best. I'll do it first as a token of respect!"

"You all have a huge amount, I can't compare with it. I just use this small wine glass, which can be regarded as one cup!" Li Weidong said with some timidity.

The two touched each other, then both raised their necks and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Lao Sha, don't be reserved. The wine is full. Let's have a drink too!" Li Weidong put down his wine glass. After the bean cake was filled, he invited Sha Xiaojun, who was a little hesitant.

"Chairman, I respect you, everything is in the wine!" Sha Xiaojun cautiously picked up the cup that was about to tip, walked to Li Weidong, clinked a cup low, and drank it simply.

Sha Xiaojun has always been jealous of Li Weidong. He once came to look for trouble and was frightened by his look. Later, he realized that this kind of person must be followed closely. No matter what, he cannot be an enemy.

Soon they began to revise their relationship. Although Sha Xiaojun was far different from Li Weidong, he knew Doubiang. For this reason, he even lowered himself by half a generation to talk about brothers with Doubiang.

Hard work paid off, and after several years of business operation, I finally got the opportunity to make a fortune, and started a foreign fast food business with Doubian.

With more and more contact, Sha Xiaojun admired Li Weidong more and more, and became more and more frightened. This was a big boss hidden among the people.

Of course, the more this happens, the more complacent Sha Xiaojun is with his choice back then. He took a shortcut and found the protagonist.

In this society, some people are the protagonists of the world and have the halo of protagonists, while for the absolute majority of other people, it is difficult for them to become protagonists. As for whether they are supporting characters or passers-by, it all depends on whether they can meet the protagonists.

If they don't meet, they won't even have the identity of a passerby. If they can meet and exchange a few words, become friends and colleagues, etc., there will be at least a few scenes showing their faces.

So life does not necessarily depend on how hard you work or how diligent you are, but on your luck and whether you can meet the protagonist of the world.

Of course, you can also compete for the leading role, but in this drama, there will definitely not be too many leading roles.

If you are not destined to play the leading role, you have to try your best to play the leading role. Even if it is not a supporting role, it can be a passerby with a few words.

Sha Xiaojun feels that he is lucky because he met the protagonist and successfully became a supporting actor with some roles.

For this reason, Sha Xiaojun often lamented that his first half of his life was in vain, but fortunately he turned around in the second half of his life.

Zhang Dongshuo looked at the wine glass in front of him and didn't know how to drink this glass of wine.

After thinking about it, Zhang Dongshuo still felt that he should toast his boss. After all, on the plane back to China, his boss had just promised to promote him!

"Please calm down, can't you tell the difference between friend and foe?" Zhang Dongshuo was about to stand up when he was blocked by Li Weidong.

"That's not possible. I just want to toast Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhu. I can't let the two leaders say I'm ignorant!" Zhang Dongshuo responded quickly and immediately followed the topic.

"Well, if you are discerning, have a few drinks with our enemies and try to bring them down!" Li Weidong gave Zhang Dongshuo a thumbs up and encouraged him.

"Director Zhang, we are not enemies, we are close comrades-in-arms. Don't accidentally injure friendly troops!" Liu Dachun hurriedly begged for mercy.

Several people pushed around and agreed that everyone would have two small glasses of wine before they were done. After a while, they all drank more than three glasses, and it was time to leave.

Li Weidong looked at their rosy faces and stood up and suggested: "Okay, we've almost finished drinking today. Let's drink it evenly. After drinking it, we can go home and sleep. We can't go anywhere!"

Li Weidong still remembered Liu Dachun's proposal to sing just now, so he had to give instructions before leaving.

Several people evenly mixed the wine in the wine dispenser and filled up the small wine glasses in front of them. As for the rest, they naturally had to throw away the rest. Several boss-level figures could not drink the remaining half bottle with them.

bar!

After the wine shop dispersed, the waiter immediately came over to clear away the leftovers on the table, and sprayed deodorant in the air to check the smell in the restaurant.

Several people also said goodbye and left.

Tong Jiajia walked out of the room and saw Qiao Wanna, who had just directed the waiter to clean up the restaurant, standing at the door to see off guests.

"Wen Na, thank you for today. The food on the table was well prepared!" Tong Jiajia looked at her and said with a smile. The chairman just praised her for the food on the table.

Tong Jiajia has face in front of her boss, so she naturally has to express her gratitude to the "initiator" Qiao Wenna.

"Mr. Tong, this is all as it should be. As long as you are satisfied with your meal, it is the best evaluation of our service!" Qiao Wenna replied with a smile.

"You can't say that. I was in a hurry and I didn't tell you in advance. I didn't expect that such a suitable dish could be prepared in such a short period of time. It seems that Mr. Guo was right about you!"

Giovanna said with a more humble expression: "If I want to say this, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I have had this opportunity!"

"What does it have to do with me? It's because Mr. Guo is interested in you. I'm just telling you in passing. I don't even have a chance to make a match!" Tong Jiajia waved her hand and said that she didn't take credit for this.

After saying this, Tong Jiajia took two steps forward. Although she could still walk, her steps began to wobble.

"Mr. Tong, you are a very distinguished guest. You have drunk so much. Why don't you take a break and have a bowl of hangover soup before going back?" Qiao Wenna quickly helped me.

"You are trying to trick me, but I don't believe it. You can't guess anything with your head?" Tong Jiajia looked at Giovanna with a half-smile.

Qiao Wanna felt embarrassed about being exposed, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Tong, you are joking, I have not violated our hotel's rules: you cannot inquire into the privacy of guests at will!"

"Repay your hotel. As far as I know, you have already connected with the Four Seasons Hotel. The resignation procedures will be completed soon!"

"How can we say that this has been connected? It looks like a bandit. We had a talk at noon yesterday and it's basically done. I even handed in my resignation report this morning. I guess someone will follow me in the next two days.

Handed over!"

"Congratulations, Manager Qiao!" Tong Jiajia joked with a smile.

"Deputy, deputy!" Qiao Wanna corrected sheepishly.

"That's not all the same. Sooner or later, it will be yours. Work hard and your future will definitely be better than here!" Tong Jiajia patted Qiao Wenna on the shoulder and said in a tone of experience.

"Mr. Tong, the one inside is really Li..." Qiao Wenna couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't say anything. These are your own thoughts and have nothing to do with me. I'm going home to be with my children!" Tong Jiajia said with a low smile, and was supported by the secretary towards the elevator.

When Qiao Wanna saw Tong Jiajia leaving, she quickly chased after her and asked, "Mr. Tong, don't you want a bowl of hangover soup?"

"No more drinking, go home and sleep!" Tong Jiajia did not forget Li Weidong's instruction just now, "Everyone go home and sleep, you can't go anywhere!"

Qiao Wanna looked at Tong Jiajia leaving and was stunned for a moment. Her guess was indeed correct. Although Tong Jiajia didn't say anything, her meaning had already been expressed.

Qiao Wanna looked back at the closed door, feeling a little excited. There was a top tycoon owner living here.

She was interested in working at the Four Seasons Hotel, and even if Tong Jiajia recommended it, it would not affect her investigation.

If Qiao Wenna is a senior executive, she will have to show her abilities as a senior executive. At least she will have to figure out the "enemy situation" clearly.

Thanks to the Internet, she started researching from the beginning of the Four Seasons Hotel to the leadership background of the current company.

Needless to say, Guo Huai, the chairman of the Four Seasons Hotel, naturally gets more attention when he is famous. If he has a good relationship with Liu Dachun, these two unrelated companies will naturally be her focus.

After her detailed understanding of these two companies, no matter how she researched, she could not avoid Xinsheng Holdings and Jingwei Investment.

Jingwei Investment is an overseas company and he doesn't know the situation of its shareholders, but Xinsheng Holdings is relatively transparent.

The company that ranks second on the rich list is also a major shareholder of many listed companies. It is very popular and there is a lot of information online.

In the end, Tong Jiajia vaguely guessed that the major shareholder of these companies was probably Li Weidong. Of course, she was still collecting evidence.

At around seven o'clock this evening, Tong Jiajia called her and wanted to book a banquet. She said that the guest was from Handong and she was asked to prepare the dishes. They must be exquisite, elegant and noble.

At that time, Qiao Wanna was beating the drum in her heart. This kind of request can show the dignity of the guest. Where the guest came from, it would be worthy of Tong Jiajia's personal instructions several times.

Until she saw Li Weidong and his group and recognized Li Weidong, Qiao Wenna was sure that her previous guess was true. Both Anjuke and Four Seasons Hotel were Li Weidong's properties.

Of course, she has not yet learned that two bosses from Wallace, a foreign fast food company, are accompanying her today, otherwise she would be even more shocked.

After thinking about it, Qiao Wanna turned on the intercom and ordered: "Cook, cook, make a bowl of hangover soup and deliver it to the guests in 9005, as soon as possible!"

This is your future boss, and you need to care about it in a timely manner. Even if he doesn't know, it is considered a part of your heart, and this kind of unconscious and unpublicized concern may have unexpected effects.

Early the next morning, Li Weidong got up early, not because he was jet lag, but because he wanted to go home, and he was thinking about home.

While having breakfast, Zhang Dongshuo answered a phone call and said: "Chairman, Mr. Zheng called just now to ask where we are in the United States. He is taking off from Beijing to New York today!"

While peeling the eggs, Li Weidong raised his head and asked, "Old Zheng is going to New York. What are you going to do there?"

"Sina, NetEase and Sohu were going to be listed on Nasdaq. Mr. Xu got the news that night. The results were officially announced the next day. Mr. Zheng went to the road show with them!"

Li Weidong took a bite of the egg and then motioned for him to continue. Whether he said it or not that night, Li Weidong had no memory at all.

Of course, even if he knew about it at that time, he would not necessarily stay in the United States for a few days to participate in this road show because of this matter.

"Mr. Zheng is going to ring the bell on Nasdaq on behalf of Jingwei Investment this time!" Zhang Dongshuo said enviously.

After Zhang Dongshuo became envious, he quickly told the business, "Mr. Zheng knows that you are in Beijing now and said that he wanted to come over and report this matter to you. Should we change the flight?"
