At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan quietly left Meng's house and went to a cafe in the city center. The cafe was very quiet and there were not many people.
The beautiful piano music echoed in the exquisitely decorated hall, and several uniformed waitresses gathered in front of the reception desk, staring at the door boredly, not actually liking the arrival of guests.
Zhou Nan slowly pushed open the glass door of the cafe and walked in.
A pretty waitress hurriedly came over with a smile, "Welcome, sir, who are you?"
Zhou Nan smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "You two."
He looked around and pointed to a corner in the hall, "I'll sit there and wait for someone to come over. Let's have a cup of coffee first."
After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he walked over and sat down.
He was well-dressed and elegant, and he was obviously rich or noble. The waiter didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly went back to order coffee for Zhou Nan and sent it to him.
"Sir, please take your time." The waitress smiled and bowed slightly, placing a cup of hot coffee in front of Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you."
Not long after, a young man of medium height wearing a plaid shirt and sky blue jeans also opened the door and walked in. The waiter glanced at him and saw that he was covered in grease. He frowned and said patiently, "Sir, are you?
Do you consume it yourself or..."
While he was talking, Zhou Nan over there raised his hand and said, "Pan Hu, come this way."
Pan Hu's brows lit up with joy, and he triumphantly left the waiter aside and ran over, laughing and saying, "Zhou Nan—no, Director Jay, I'm here."
"You're welcome, please sit down." Zhou Nan smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Sit down."
Pan Hu sat down respectfully, but his expression was slightly nervous.
Pan Hu and Zhou Nan had some conflicts before, and because Zhou Nan and Zhang Ying came together, Pan Hu was jealous. But now and then, he watched Zhou Nan now sitting on a fortune of over 100 million, and he had become an unreachable person.
Having climbed to the top of the rich list, the resentment in Pan Hu's heart had long since dissipated.
Not only did he no longer have any resentment, but seeing Zhang Ying becoming a "prosperous" after joining Zhou Nan, Pan Hu's heart was filled with some kind of unspeakable envy, and there was also some regret.
He regrets that he should not have fallen out with Zhou Nan in the first place, otherwise, due to their relationship as old classmates, he would have already "climbed onto the branches and become a phoenix" like Zhang Ying. Feiteng Group is so big, Zhou Nan has leaked a little bit from between his fingers.
It was enough for Pan Hu to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Not to mention, Zhang Ying, a bitch like this, is very discerning. How did she know that Zhou Nan would be prosperous this year? Pan Hu was muttering in his heart, speculating on Zhou Nan's intention of finding him.
When Pan Hu received Zhou Nan's call, he couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that Zhou Nan would still think of him.
Zhou Nan stared at Pan Hu quietly, with a trace of amusement and coldness in his eyes. In his previous life, he betrayed his subordinates and left his support. In the end, he could only hang out in the market, working hard to make a living every day.
"How have you been lately? I heard that Haihua has also closed down?" Zhou Nan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then waved to the waiter, "Miss, another cup of coffee and some side dishes and snacks.
"
Pan Hu let out a sigh of relief and said with a forced smile, "The factory has closed down a long time ago. Now I rent a counter in Hualian Commercial Building to buy clothes... That's it, I can make ends meet."
"I came to you today mainly because I wanted to give you a chance..." Zhou Nan obviously didn't want to waste too much time on Pan Hu, so he directly stated his purpose of coming slowly.
After hearing Zhou Nan's words, Pan Hu was surprised and happy, but also a little afraid.
Although he does not have much education and experience and has been living at the bottom of society, he is not stupid. Not only is he not stupid, he actually has a bit of cunningness like a common citizen.
"Um...hehe...I don't quite understand what you mean." Pan Hu hesitated for a moment and smiled softly.
"You really don't understand? Haha." Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows and slowly took out two piles of banknotes from his bag and pushed them over, "This is 20,000 yuan, which is the start-up capital I will give you...from now on.
, you did a great job – money is no object.”
"Don't bargain with me. I will give you what I should give you..." Zhou Nan smiled faintly, "As long as you can meet my requirements, I will give you this number in the future."
Zhou Nan said and stretched out five fingers.
Pan Hu looked at the two piles of banknotes in front of him with some excitement and greed, with a quiet green light in his eyes. His breathing was a little rapid, and he slowly raised his head to look at Zhou Nan, and said in a hoarse voice, "50,000?"
"500,000." Zhou Nan spoke in a deep voice, "Moreover, I will leave you a place in Feiteng Group and arrange your retreat."
After saying that, Zhou Nan picked up the coffee cup in front of him, sipping the coffee leisurely, quietly looking at Pan Hu's changing expression, waiting for his answer.
He knew very well that Pan Hu, who was a little greedy, a little clever, a little ruthless and a gangster, was an important chess piece in completing his plan. He was not afraid that Pan Hu would not agree and face money.
Pan Hu couldn't overcome the temptation of temptation.
Sure enough, Pan Hu just pondered for a few seconds, and then he grabbed the 20,000 yuan in front of him and stuffed it into his pocket. He chuckled and said, "Director Jay Chou thinks highly of me, Pan Hu. I will sell my life to Zhou."
Don't worry. If you need me anywhere, just give me a call."
"You don't need to work hard, as long as you do what I say, you will turn around in the future." Zhou Nan smiled coldly, "This is your chance, it depends on whether you can seize it. Remember, from now on we will be single-track
Contact me, you are not allowed to tell anyone anything about what I am looking for you. Otherwise... you are a smart person, I believe you will know how to do it."
"Don't try to fool me, you should know the consequences." There was an obvious coldness in Zhou Nan's eyes. Pan Hu's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I know what to do.
"
"I will arrange for you to go there... just wait for my call." Zhou Nan said and stood up, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and put them on the table. "I have to leave beforehand. You can order whatever you want to eat."
Zhou Nan walked out of the cafe, stood on the steps and stared up at the brilliant red sun that was gradually setting in the sky, feeling peaceful. He turned back and looked into the cafe, and through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw Pan Hu standing beside him.
He was counting the money secretly while covering his body, and a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Xiaoning is not a person who plays his cards according to common sense. He can be said to be an insidious and cunning hypocrite. Faced with such an opponent, Zhou Nan has no choice but to use extraordinary means.
He believed that with Pan Hu's cleverness and ruthlessness, as well as his support and "guidance" behind him, Pan Hu might give him a surprise there. He did not expect Pan Hu to become Chen Xiaoning's confidant in one fell swoop.
Because this is almost impossible; but he wants to use Pan Hu as a chess piece to get some first-hand information about Chen Xiaoning and Heilan Group.
This should not be difficult for Pan Hu. This is just a move that Zhou Nan made on a whim. In fact, whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.
After leaving the cafe, Zhou Nan drove to the Feiteng Group headquarters, which he had not seen for a long time.
After leaving Haidu for so long, Zhou Nan's eyes lit up with the changes in Feiteng Group's headquarters. The magnificent Feiteng Building, the neat and orderly spacious parking lot filled with vehicles, the solemn and solemn company facade, the open European-style wrought iron wall...
…What comes across is the atmosphere of a modern large enterprise.
Zhou Nan's car was stopped at the door, and a security guard walked over with a stern face and said loudly, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Nan rolled down the car glass and said with a smile, "I'm here to see Lan Ruo."
Zhou Nan originally thought that his face should not be unfamiliar to Feiteng Group. After all, he is the founder of the company and is still Lan Ruo's man. However, he did not know that with the rapid development and expansion of Feiteng Group, there are countless new people in the company.
, the only people at the group company headquarters who really know him, the former chairman and big boss, are some old people.
But those old people are now basically sitting in middle-level and above management positions, and many of them have been sent to work in branches or joint-stock companies in other places.
"Are you looking for Director Lan?" The security guard looked at Zhou Nan with a strange look. Seeing that he was only driving a black Poussin, his eyes became a little untrusting, thinking how could someone who knew Director Lan drive a car?
It’s a broken car. Which one of Mr. Lan’s guests is not from a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW?
As soon as he thought of this, the security guard said coldly, "Director Lan is very busy. If you want to see Director Lan, you must make an appointment with Director Lan's assistant and get approval from Mr. Lin."
"Haha, my surname is Zhou." Zhou Nan patiently explained to the security guard, "Otherwise, you give Lan Ruo a call and tell her I'm looking for her."
"Please park the car aside first and don't block the door." The security guard waved his hand impatiently and said, "I told you, if you want to see Director Lan, you must make an appointment first and get Mr. Lin's approval. You
Get out of the way quickly, a car is coming from behind."
Zhou Nan had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road, get out of the car and call Lan Ruo's cell phone, but no one answered for a long time.
Zhou Nan frowned and called Lin Xueer again.
"Xue'er, it's me."
Lin Xueer said in surprise, "Zhou Nan, where are you? I heard from Lan Ruo that you are back. Why, you are back and you don't come back to the company to have a look? Have you really become a hands-off shopkeeper?"
"Where has Lan Ruo gone? She didn't answer my cell phone calls when I called her. I'm at the entrance of the company. The security guard probably saw that I was driving a Poussin and the grade was too low, so they wouldn't let me in..." Zhou Nan said with a bitter smile.
"Lan Ruo is here... Oh, maybe she went to the bathroom. Just wait a moment, I will tell her right away." Lin Xueer hung up the phone and ran to Lan Ruo's office next door. She met Lan Ruo coming out of the bathroom.
