Chapter 265 Kneeling to Eat and Standing to Starve to Death
During the entire bid opening process, Dong San wanted to find a hole in the ground and drill down to avoid embarrassing his eyes. Especially Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the rostrum, seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he regretted it.
This kid is actually the boss of the project they have worked hard for a long time to prepare for. Mr. Xu has repeatedly told him that he must not make any mistakes in this matter. Now, he will smash himself into his hand. It will be a foregone conclusion when he goes back. Maybe when President Xu gets angry, he will kick him, and that will be a big loss.
When the entire bid opening meeting ended, Dong San almost sat on the ground. Based on the quotes of all companies, their company's quotes were the best. If it weren't for offending Xiao Yi before, according to this guarantee, winning the bid would be a sure thing. Now Mr. Xu wouldn't have been furious and swept himself out?
For his future, Dong San had to lower his head and stood at the door of the bid hall like a wrecked dog, waiting for Xiao Yi to appear. His future was bright or dark. At this time, he was firmly grasped by Xiao Yi's words. Dong San secretly made up his mind that even if he knelt down for Xiao Yi in public, he would win Xiao Yi's forgiveness. Dignity and other things were nonsense. Instead of starving to death with dignity, it would be better to kneel down and eat enough. This is the life creed of people like Dong San.
"Brother Xiao." When Xiao Yi walked out of the bid opening hall, Dong San rushed up immediately, and Brother Xiao shouted so loudly.
Xiao Yi glanced at him, and he didn't stop, and walked by directly. Dong San was left in place, stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xiao Yi.
"Brother Xiao, I was wrong!"
After catching up with Xiao Yi, Dong Sandong knelt in front of Xiao Yi, and knelt down sharply and cried, "Brother Xiao, you don't remember the villain's past. Just now, I didn't know Mount Tai. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. My whole family relies on me to make money to support me. If I lose my way out this time, Mr. Xu will definitely fire me when I go back. Brother Xiao, please spare me this time. I know I'm wrong..."
Xiao Yi was stunned and stopped. No matter how he looked at Dong San, he seemed to be about to lose his life and beg for mercy to him. Xiao Yi was so old that there were many people who knelt in front of him, but his life was threatened and he begged for mercy. It was the first time that Xiao Yi had kneeled to him for such a trivial matter. This was beyond Xiao Yi's understanding of his outlook on life. When did kneeling become so cheap? And he still kneeled in front of so many people.
Dong San's shocking behavior made Xiao Yi suddenly feel uncomfortable. Those who didn't know that he thought he was kidnapped Dong San's family.
"Get up." Xiao Yi said angrily.
Dong San's face was covered with a mixture of tears and snot. He threw himself on Xiao Yi's thigh and cried, "If Brother Xiao doesn't agree, I won't get up. Give me aside, Brother Xiao, I'm wrong..."
The crowd gathered more and more. Even Xiao Yi's stainless steel super-skinned skin could not withstand such torture. He flushed his face and raised his legs to shake Dong San away. Several security guards who arrived in time helped Xiao Yi to free up the snot and tears. Seeing that Xiao Yi's face was thrusting, recalling the scene in the palace drama on TV where the emperor ordered someone to be dragged out and beheaded, and someone begged for mercy loudly.
"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Xiao Yi rubbed his dizzy temples, shook his head and walked away.
Sitting in the car and watching this scene from afar, Luo Jingya was already smiling. Looking at Xiao Yi, who looked lingering in fear, it was difficult to connect the fierce man who had killed thousands of lives in the jungle.
"Is it that funny?" Xiao Yi sat in the back of the car and said angrily at Luo Jingya, who was smiling heartlessly.
Luo Jingya smiled even more. After a while, she calmed down and said with an unsatisfactory smile: "It seems that you are not impeccable either."
Xiao Yi curled his lips and said, "I have never said I am invincible, okay?"
Luo Jingya covered her mouth and smiled, "If you dare to mess with me in the future, I will use this trick to deal with you."
Xiao Yi's eyes rolled and said with a treacherous smile: "Okay, why don't we get out of the car now? I guess tomorrow's front page headlines are covered with reports, with the title saying: The famous actress Luo Jingya was abandoned by a man, and she knelt down in the street and begged to change her mind."
"Go to die!" Luo Jingya cursed, then put away her jokes and said seriously: "The top three companies in the bidding quotation this time are good. I have also read the information of these three companies. The difference is not very big. Tomorrow, I will send someone to inspect the second and third companies on site, and then you will decide which company will win the final bid."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "Why don't you use the number one company?"
Luo Jingya said with a puzzled look: "Didn't the company that ranked first offend you just now? Is that person kneeling down like this and you really plan to repay your grudges with kindness?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, leaned his head comfortably on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and slowly said: "I am not a saint, and I can't repay my grievances with kindness. It's just that the person who offended me, not the company."
"What do you mean is to let the first-place company win the bid?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded and stopped talking. Although he was not a saint who repays his kindness, he was not a crazy crazy man. Dong San's retort to him could not let Xiao Yi really take it to heart. It was not Xiao Yi's open-mindedness, but these things were really insignificant in Xiao Yi's eyes, so they were just used as a conditioner in life. Besides, Dong San knelt in public, snot and tears, which could be considered retribution. On the other hand, Xiao Yi wanted to take care of the down-to-earth and kind Mr. Xu.
On the day when the bidding results were announced, Dong San rubbed his eyes, fearing that he would read it wrong. The winning bidder announced on the public was obviously his company, but this made no sense. On that day, Xiao Yi had no reason to let his unit win the bid.
Dong San, who suffered a loss once, learned to be smart this time and did not take credit for himself. Instead, he confessed to President Xu guiltily. When President Xu heard Dong San say that Xiao Yi was the boss of Wolf Totem Film and Television City, he couldn't help but smile with relief. It was the kind of joy from the bottom of his heart, not the kind of snobbish smile that climbed to the top. From the very beginning, President Xu knew that Xiao Yi would definitely have a future in the future. For nothing else, he just said that he was down-to-earth in one step. Unlike people like Dong San, he had some skills, but if his feet were not stuck to the ground, he would never go out of the right direction and would only sway everywhere.
Xiao Yi didn't expect that President Xu would suddenly call him and invite him to dinner. After thinking about it for a while, he understood that Dong San was the boy who was guilty and confessed to him and told Mr. Xu the whole thing. Then President Xu called to dinner to express his gratitude.
Anyway, he was idle, so Xiao Yi agreed immediately. He never pretentiously. No matter whether he is a low-key or a noble emperor, he will do whatever he is and will never change his attitude towards others because of his own identity.
When he arrived at the private room in the hotel that he had made an appointment, Xiao Yi was surprised to find that not only Mr. Xu was there, but also many old colleagues from the past. Of course, except for Fatty Liu.
After a warm greeting, Xiao Yi sat down. Mr. Xu asked Xiao Yi to sit next to him. Without saying a word, he had three glasses of white wine with Xiao Yi in a row.
"Congratulations on you for achieving today's achievements." Mr. Xu sincerely expressed his congratulations with his glass.
Xiao Yi smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, without saying pretentious words such as thanking Chuang, because he really didn't need others to cultivate it when he was working under Mr. Xu.
During the meal, Du Mei and Dong San were most active and close to Xiao Yi. Du Mei wanted to agree with her, and Dong San wanted to worship Xiao Yi as her godfather. Xiao Yi knew the two of them well and had no fondness in his heart, but he just smiled and perfunctory.
"Xiao Yi, congratulations." A woman, who was about 37 or 38 years old, picked up her wine glass and looked at Xiao Yi and smiled.
Xiao Yi smiled, picked up the wine glass, and smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhang, but if you want to drink it, just drink three."
In this company, in addition to Mr. Xu, the one who can make Xiao Yi feel a little fond of this woman called Sister Zhang. Not only does she do things smoothly, but she also sometimes can't help but learn a few tricks in dealing with people and things. When Xiao Yi first joined the company, all her colleagues showed great enthusiasm for him. However, Sister Zhang just dealt with him very casually and never talked about others behind him. Over time, the more enthusiastic the people, all the more they spoke, and the more they were, they all showed the prototype of a sweet-mouthed sword. Only Sister Zhang, who was like this at the beginning and what was going on afterwards. This personality made Xiao Yi appreciated.
"Okay, three cups are just three cups, Sister Zhang is willing to go out." Sister Zhang cheered three cups in a bold manner, winning a lot of cheers.
After the two of them finished drinking, Dong San also picked up the wine glass and said to Xiao Yihao: "Brother Xiao, I will have three drinks with you too!"
Xiao Yi glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, without saying anything, nor did he move. Xiao Yi was not pretentious about his attitude towards such villains, and not everyone could drink three cups with him.
Dong San held the wine glass and hung awkwardly in the air, his face turned pale and white. Finally, he had to retract his hand in disappointment and smiled awkwardly: "I'd better punish myself for three cups."
During the meal, there was always a pretty and gentle girl who always smiled, didn't speak much, and didn't ask Xiao Yi to drink. She was the only one among the people on this big table who didn't ask Xiao Yi to toast, which also caused Xiao Yi to look at her a few more times.
The girl looks not old, but looks a few years younger than herself. She may be a college student who has just graduated from school.
"Let me introduce it. This is Xiao Zhao from our company. I only joined the company last year." Dong San, who was stingy and frowning, noticed this detail. The villain's thoughts quickly started, so he naturally thought that Xiao Yi wanted to make the girl's idea. He was thinking about how to help Xiao Yi get Xiao Zhao on the bed and never missed any opportunity to get close to Xiao Yi, even if this simple girl was his colleague.
"Xiao Zhao, why don't you hurry up and pay a glass of wine to Mr. Xiao." Dong San said in an orderly tone. In the company, this girl who has been in the company for less than a year is indeed his subordinate.
Xiao Yi took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and smiled and said, "I should take the initiative to drink beautiful women."
The girl smiled, showed two shallow dimples, picked up the teacup, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink, so I toast Brother Xiao with tea instead of wine."
Upon hearing this, Dong San fiercely glanced at this incomprehensible girl. What is her identity? He took the initiative to toast you and you were still so artificial when you were drunk.
"Xiao Zhao, this is wrong. Mr. Xiao picked up the wine glass, but you picked up the tea cup. What do you think?" Dong San said hurriedly.
The girl named Xiao Zhao seemed to ignore Dong San's existence. After taking a sip of tea, she sat back on her original position with a smile. Xiao Yi didn't care, and killed the wine in one sip.
During the meal, Xiao Yi got up to go to the bathroom, and the girl also got up and walked out. When she walked to the bathroom corridor, the girl saw Xiao Yizhen standing around the corner, staring at her with her eyes narrowed.
"Who are you, why are you following me?"
From the beginning, what attracted Xiao Yi's attention was not that the girl was the only one among the people on the table who did not toast her, but that the girl's hand holding chopsticks. Ordinary people may not see any clues, but in the eyes of experts like Xiao Yi, they could see at a glance that these completely different hands were so stable that they were impeccable. With some details, this was a hand of a trainer.
