Chapter 197: Go up and go
No one is so ignorant about picking up the relationship between the two. No one here is fool, and knows what to say and what not to say.
Luo Xie had met Zhou Zhiqian, but no one else had seen it.
But this did not prevent them from guessing Zhou Zhiqian's identity, in addition to being Zhou Zhengrong's daughter, and Chen Ran's ex-girlfriend.
Zhao Hui was afraid of the cold, so he specially asked Uncle San’s secretary to arrange two girls to accompany him.
One of them happens to be Wang Li's daughter, the other is a female clerk in the unit, and a subordinate of Zhou Zhengrong.
Wang Li's daughter is Yan Bingbing, and she has a fair relationship with Zhou Zhiqian, but after entering the box, she acted remarkably well. She is a girl who knows how to do things. No wonder she can get a rich second-generation boyfriend.
As for the other girl, she was just here to make up the numbers, and there were ten people in a table, just enough to be full.
Everyone saw Chen Ran’s respect for Zhou Zhengrong and Wu Hui, but his ‘estrangement’ towards Zhou Zhiqian was also obvious.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Zhengrong saw it and was anxious.
He still likes this young man Chen Ran, but because of his daughter's incompetence, the ending is now, which makes him not know where to put his old face.
No matter how good a daughter is, he knows her father. Zhou Zhengrong, as a father, sees Zhou Zhengrong, who has scolded her many times, but when his daughter grows up and has his own opinions, it is difficult for him to participate too much.
He had expected this result today.
It's really not a hindsight.
Zhou Zhengrong thought he was very accurate in his view of people, and he was clear about who was like that.
He even felt a little guilty towards Chen Ran, otherwise Wu Hui wouldn't have asked Chen Ran to give money, mainly to atone for his daughter...
Seeing Chen Ran develop so well after returning to Jinling and meet such an amazing friend, he was very pleased and very happy for Chen Ran, so he never stopped drinking.
Chen Ran kept paying attention to him, and when he saw him one cup after another, he hurriedly gave Zhao Hui a wink.
Zhao Hui smiled and chatted with Zhou Zhengrong, and asked the waiter to bring in a pot of hot tea.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Zhiqian. She was also watching Chen Ran. Seeing that he was so considerate of his father, a trace of sweetness in his heart inexplicably burst into tears.
Secretary Zhao, who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a moment when he saw Chen Ran care about Zhou Zhengrong so much.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Old Zhou, I remember you are not at 50 this year, right?"
Zhou Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, and he was very concerned about how he mentioned his age, but he nodded and responded: "It's 47, I'm old."
"Hahaha, 47 is fine, I'm still about ten years away from retirement."
Secretary Zhao's words for no reason made Zhao Hui and Luo Xie, who were beside him, understand it.
The two looked at Chen Ran at the same time, as if waiting for an answer.
Chen Ran frowned slightly and looked at the two of them, and understood their meaning from their expressions.
He looked at Zhou Zhengrong, looked at Zhou Zhiqian again, and finally struggled for less than two seconds. He laughed and picked up the wine glass and said to Secretary Zhao: "Secretary Zhao is right. My Uncle Zhou is still several years away from retirement."
After receiving Chen Ran's response, Zhao Hui and Luo Xie looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Hui also picked up the wine glass and said, "Director Zhou's ability is obvious to all. It's okay to be 47 years old, but he can still walk up."
"Uh?" Zhou Zhengrong opened his mouth and looked at Chen Ran in disbelief.
He was just a stubborn person, but he was not stupid. He saw the eye contact between the few people just now.
At the same time, he also knew the meaning of Zhao Hui's last sentence.
Not only him, Wu Hui, but also Yan Bingbing looked at Chen Ran with shock.
They also discovered just now that Young Master Luo and Zhao Hui were obviously waiting for Chen Ran to have an affirmative answer, and Chen Ran's response to Secretary Zhao directly determined Zhou Zhengrong's promotion path?
Just as they were stunned, Luo Xie, who had been silent, raised his wine glass.
He touched the cup with Zhou Zhengrong and said, "Uncle Zhou, you are Chen Ran's elder, and I, Luo Zhi. I want to toast you this glass of wine. If you have time, you are welcome to our company to guide your work."
Zhou Zhengrong already knew Luo Xie's identity, and was immediately flattered when he heard this, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it, Mr. Luo is too polite."
Luo Xie's company is headquartered in Beijing, but its business is basically concentrated in MoCity. After all, MoCity is the economic center of China. Luo Xie's company is a major taxpayer in MoCity. At least those who can guide their work are directors of a certain department.
At this time, Luo Xie said seemingly unintentionally: "When it comes to this, I remember that Lao Li of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau seems to be leaving, right?" He looked at the uncle and nephew of the Zhao family, with a smile on his face.
Zhao Hui's expression moved, but he didn't expect Luo Xie to give Chen Ran such a face. He was the director. After thinking for a while, he looked at his third uncle. After the two looked at each other, Secretary Zhao nodded with a smile. Zhou Zhengrong's qualifications are enough and his abilities are competent.
Seeing this, Luo Xie laughed and said, "Come on, everyone raise their glasses and let one go."
Zhou Zhengrong, the most confused person in the audience, had already started to breathe rapidly at this time.
He looked at Chen Ran in surprise, feeling mixed feelings.
Chen Ran gave him a reassuring look, raised his wine glass, filled a cup of Moutai and stuffed it out in one mouthful. He respected me one foot, and I was one foot more. Zhao Hui and Luo Xie could not be too sad even if he gave face like this.
"I'm so kind, Uncle Zhou is about to be promoted!"
Yan Bingbing, who witnessed all this with her own eyes, her eyes rolled.
She suddenly pulled Zhou Zhiqian's sleeve and said with a little flattering voice: "Qianqian, it turns out that your boyfriend is the boss of Xinran Auto Trade. Why didn't you tell me earlier that I would have bought a car if I had known that I would have bought it. Maybe it would be even more tens of thousands of yuan."
Yan Bingbing just heard Huang He brag about Chen Ran, and then clicked on his Douyin account as Huang He said, and only then did she realize that the event that was so popular in Douyin recently was actually sponsored by Chen Ran.
Now "Attack, Female Driver!" is not just a small local event in Jinling, but a large IP that affects more than 10,000 people from all over the country. Among them, hundreds of people are participating in the Magic City, the closest to Jinling.
Several rich and beautiful women in Yan Bingbing's company also participated. She had no car before and had not registered. Recently, her fiancé just bought a BMW X7 for her. Although it was a second-hand one, it also costed about 900,000 yuan.
She was a little reluctant to let her drive such a good car to participate in the competition. Now that she saw Chen Ran’s connections, she was inexplicably moved, and it was not important to have a ranking.
If she could take the opportunity to get to know this hidden boss, she would definitely have many benefits when she turned around. Moreover, she happened to be the sales manager of East China General Agent of a German auto parts company, and she still had some interaction with Chen Ran in business.
Zhou Zhiqian looked at Chen Ran with complex eyes. She didn't quite understand these things, but she probably guessed something from the expressions of her father and mother.
Now even Yan Bingbing, who has always looked down on her, looks flattering to her. No matter how simple she is, she knows that her father must have accepted Chen Ran's great favor.
