Chapter 1251
It’s hard for others to do
"Look at what you said, what is a waste of money? It is appropriate to invite Mr. Lu to dinner. I want to ask, what does Mr. Lu like to eat the most? How about going to eat seafood?"
Since Hou Wencai proposed to treat her, she had nothing to be picky about, so she had to be as hospitable as the host. "It's OK, Mr. Hou said he could go wherever he wanted."
"Then let's go to the Golden Leopard?" Hou Wencai looked at Lu Wei. Since he invited Lu Wei to dinner, he naturally could not choose a low-grade one.
"Will it be too extravagant to go to the Golden Leopard?"
"What a luxury? The first time I invite you to dinner, of course I have to choose a place with a higher level. Besides, the consumption of Golden Leopard is not high."
Lu Wei smiled shyly, "Okay, listen to Mr. Hou."
"Then it's the Golden Leopard. Which store should we go to? Should we go to the Asian Games Village or the World Trade Center?"
Lu Wei thought to herself, this Hou Wencai is really weird. Did she deliberately show herself that there are many restaurants she has been to? It’s just a meal. Is it necessary to show off? She really didn’t want to communicate with Hou Wencai more, so she hurriedly said perfunctorily: “Master Hou decided, Mr. Hou said we will go wherever we go.”
Hou Wencai pondered for a few seconds and patted his palm, "Then let's go to the World Trade Center. The store over there is quite large and the environment is good. The World Trade Center is gorgeous and beautiful at night, which is the best choice."
Lu Wei nodded, "Then go to the World Trade Center. Mr. Hou, please make your reservation for the place and seats. I have some small things to do. Let me deal with them first. Then you send me a message and I will drive over directly."
"Okay, you go and do your business first. I'll set my seat now and chat tonight. See you all." When Hou Wencai said this, he threw an incomprehensible look at Lu Wei.
Lu Wei didn't say anything else and quickly walked out of the conference room. She walked to Guo Wei's office, put her hand on the table and knocked it, signaling Guo Wei to go to her office.
Guo Wei turned his head and took a look. Without saying a word, he followed Lu Wei to the CEO office.
"Close the office door." Lu Wei sat down and made a gesture to Guo Wei. At this time, she really didn't want Hou Wencai to appear again. Today, she met Hou Wencai on the first day, but Hou Wencai made her feel a little disgusted. She really couldn't imagine how to work with such a man next.
According to Lu Wei's request, Guo Wei closed the office door, took the initiative to walk to the sofa, sat down and said, "Mr. Lu, are you asking me to continue talking about the topic that you didn't finish last time?"
"No." Lu Wei took out her phone from her bag and asked, "Do you have something more important tonight?"
Guo Wei thought about it, shook his head and replied: "No, Mr. Lu has any instructions?"
"That's great. Mr. Hou insists on treating him tonight. You and me. It's just a chance to talk to Mr. Hou about the company's operations. The operation department is the core of the company. When I talked to him, I didn't say it in detail. Then you have a good chat with him and let him understand the company's operation as soon as possible. Now Mr. Hou's vice president and executive director are the executive director. You should perform well in front of him, which will be beneficial to your future development." Lu Wei deliberately changed to a tactful speech, thinking that she couldn't tell Guo Wei directly that she didn't want to have a meal with Hou Wencai, so she should take him as a backer. As long as Guo Wei can accompany him, there is nothing to worry about. Even if there is no topic, Guo Wei can support the scene or something. The most important thing is that she hopes that Guo Wei can win Hou Wencai's trust, so that it will be much easier to promote Guo Wei at that time.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, then when will we go?"
Lu Wei looked at the time and said, "Mr. Hou has gone to the designated location. I will notify me at that time. After I notify me, we will set off."
Guo Wei nodded and said readily: "Okay, then I'll prepare now."
Seeing Guo Wei standing up and leaving, Lu Wei hurriedly waved to stop him and pressed down, "Don't be anxious. If you have time, sit down first. I haven't finished talking yet."
Guo Wei smiled and sat back.
"Guo Wei, I mentioned to you last time that I planned to promote you to the position of deputy general manager of the company. The company had not encountered a crisis some time ago. I thought that the crisis had passed, but after the company stabilized, I mentioned it to the board of directors. I didn't expect that a Hou Wencai appeared on the way. Hou Wencai was recommended by Han Feng's agent. He was Han Feng's former friend and had worked in Phoenix Group before, so..."
"Mr. Lu, you need not say anything, I understand. Thank you Mr. Lu for your trust in me, I will continue to work hard."
Lu Wei nodded with satisfaction, "I will definitely recommend it in the future. Now you are the one I trust the most among the middle-level companies and the one with the best work ability. As long as you do it well, I will definitely let you sit as the vice president."
"I will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, go and prepare, we'll leave later."
Guo Wei nodded, got up and walked out of the office, and pulled the door.
Lu Wei leaned back and used the help of the chair to sway, she habitually raised her legs. She closed her eyes and rested for a while. She suddenly realized something. She immediately opened her eyes, dragged the chair forward, picked up her cell phone and called Wang Wen. After Wang Wen answered the phone, she said, "Wang Wen, I have a social event tonight, so I won't go to your parents' place for dinner with you. Tell me to my uncle. Especially uncle, please explain it to him."
This news was a bit sudden for Wang Wen. Before noon, Wang Wen greeted his mother in advance, saying that he would go back to dinner with Lu Wei in the evening and ask his mother to make some good things. In the afternoon, his mother called him and told him that he had bought shrimp and carp. Maybe he had already made it now. "I promised it in the morning, why did you tell me that you have social engagements? I have agreed to my mother."
"Isn't this a sudden incident? There is a social engagement at the moment."
"What social engagements? Go out to drink?" Wang Wen asked curiously.
"It's that Hou Wencai. I wouldn't refuse. I'll treat me to dinner no matter what. I didn't tell you last time that Hou Wencai was going to join our company. Today, he held a shareholders' meeting and passed his nomination. He is now the company's deputy general manager and executive director."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"You can explain it to your uncle and aunt, especially your uncle. Don't make him anxious and angry. If you finish early, I will drive to see your uncle and aunt directly."
Wang Wen had told Lu Wei before that he would not interfere with Lu Wei's company. Lu Wei had social engagements and would not object. But this time, he wanted to talk about Lu Wei. He finally went to his parents for a meal, but he was in a bad mood. His parents must be very disappointed. However, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again. "Okay, if you drive there, don't drink."
"Well, don't worry, I'm responsible."
"If anything happens, just call me and remember, don't drink..."
"I understand, why are you mother-in-law and mother dead?" Lu Wei finished speaking and ended the call.
At 7:30, Lu Wei received a call from Hou Wencai. After hanging up the phone, she quickly turned off the computer, packed her desk, took her bag and cell phone and walked out of the office, called Guo Wei, and the two left the company together.
When he arrived at the gate of the Golden Leopard, Guo Wei saw it and said in surprise: "Mr. Lu, this Mr. Hou is so generous. He actually invited the Golden Leopard to eat it. It seems that he is a rich man."
"He is now the vice president of the company and the executive director. He gets so much salary a year. What's the point of treating a golden leopard? I thought he would invite us to Pangu, but after a long time, he invited us to the golden leopard."
"Mr. Lu, why have you become such a person now? You can eat whatever you invite Mr. Hou? Do you want to tell Mr. Hou that the level here is too low, and it is recommended to go to a seven-star hotel in Pangu?"
Lu Wei smiled and said nothing. After parking the car, she walked in with Guo Wei.
After seeing Hou Wencai, Lu Wei smiled and said hello. After walking over, she said directly: "Mr. Hou, this is Guo Wei, the operation director of our company."
Hou Wencai originally thought that Lu Wei was going to the appointment alone, but he didn't expect that Lu Wei even brought someone here. In this way, his plan to make a plan in advance might be dashed. "It's Xiao Guo, I saw it in the conference room at that time. He is such a handsome talent."
"Mr. Hou, you have been awarded too much, Mr. Hou is a handsome talent."
When Lu Wei heard this, she couldn't help laughing secretly, thinking that Guo Wei said that Lao Hou was a talented person, which was not a naked irony. Although there was a word 'talent' in his name, it still needed further verification. As for the 'character', it was really unworthy. "You two should stop being polite. You will work together in the future. We are good colleagues and good leaders, so don't put a high hat on each other."
"Mr. Lu said, come on, sit down quickly, Mr. Lu, sit down quickly." Hou Wencai pointed to the seat beside him and signaled that Lu Wei would sit next to him.
Lu Wei smiled charmingly at Hou Wencai. Instead of sitting there, she sat with Guo Wei. She never thought of being next to Hou Wencai, and she didn't want to sit face to face with Hou Wencai. Seeing Hou Wencai's unique hairstyle and wide mouth, she had no appetite even if she had seafood. For this reason, she simply sat outside and let Guo Wei sit inside and sit face to face with Hou Wencai.
After selecting the dishes, Hou Wencai asked, "Mr. Lu, what wine should we drink? White or red?"
"We won't drink tonight. We'll eat more seafood. We can't eat much after drinking. Since Mr. Hou invites us to such an expensive place to eat, of course we have to eat as much as possible."
"How can I not drink alcohol? Lu Zheng's company is indispensable compared to social engagements, so he must have a good alcohol tolerance."
Lu Wei shook her head and explained, "Mr. Hou, we drove here, so we stopped drinking. After drinking, we couldn't drive back." She thought that before coming, Wang Wen had reminded her not to drink, and she had never thought about drinking with Hou Wencai. Since Zhang Hao's accident, she would not drink easily unless she had to do so in a special situation.
"Guo Wei, are you drinking? Why don't you drink with Mr. Hou?" Lu Wei turned to look at Guo Wei. She didn't want to drink anyway.
Guo Wei looked at Lu Wei and thought to himself that Mr. Lu didn't drink, and he didn't dare to mention drinking. So he shook his head and said, "I don't drink either. If I drink, I will be criticized if I go back."
"How can you do it? How can you not drink alcohol? I finally had such a chance, so I had to come. Otherwise, let's drink some of the best. If we eat seafood, we can't drink beer. Then we can come." Hou Wencai said alone.
"Mr. Hou, you really can't drink it. You're driving here. Next time, if you don't drive next time, I'll drink it with you. It won't work tonight. If you drink it, you won't be able to drive back."
"It's okay to drink a little, it's really not OK. I'll find you a designated driver and will definitely send you home safely. Is this okay? Mr. Lu, we will work together in the future. Shouldn't we celebrate? Since we want to celebrate, is it reasonable to not drink some wine? You can drink less, but you can't stop drinking, right?"
Lu Wei really didn't know how to postpone it. She felt that the little hunch diagonally opposite was too difficult. She wanted to refuse, but she was worried that Hou Wen felt that she would not give him face, so she bit her lip for this and said, "Okay, let's do it a little, but I have a poor alcohol tolerance."
Soon, the dishes ordered came up. In order to bring closer to Lu Wei, Hou Wencai always wanted to toast Lu Wei's wine, but except for the previous few times Lu Wei drank, he basically asked Guo Wei to do it for him.
