Chapter 683 Let him contact me
In December in Chengdu, the sky is cold and cold, and there is a moist temperature in the air.
In the morning, Tang Song and Xie Shuyu went to Kuanzhai Alley in Qingyang District.
There is no driver or assistant.
Tang and Song held Xie Shuyu’s hand, walking on the smooth bluestone road like an ordinary tourist couple.
The streets and alleys are crisscrossed, and the green tiles and gray walls are covered with red lanterns.
The air is mixed with the fragrance of fried tea, the sweet fragrance of sugar and oil fruits, and the excited chatter of tourists.
The bustling crowds are intertwined with the overflowing smoke of fireworks.
At first, Xie Shuyu was a little uncomfortable.
She still straightened her back habitually, maintaining dignity and reserve.
She has not been like this for many years, separated from her career and identity, simply having fun without any scruples in the crowded streets.
Especially, I have a boyfriend with me.
This experience was both strange and subtle to her.
But when Tang Song turned slightly sideways in the bustling crowd and used his body to protect her as she walked through;
When he casually explained to her the origin of the ancient archway in front of her with the allusion he just found on his mobile phone;
When he was the sweetheart of the "Three Cannons" When the slurry splashed on the stone slab, and the crystal sugar dots fell on his smiling face;
The long-tight string in Xie Shuyu's heart finally loosened little by little.
For the first time, she truly experienced the relaxation and happiness of being "taken care of".
Let her feel the huge warmth in the cold and humid winter air in Chengdu.
Later, Tang Song followed the online guide and took her to the People's Park with great interest.
Sit down under the open-air bamboo forest at "Heming Tea House" and imitate the locals in ordering a pot of the most authentic Gaiwan tea.
The bamboo chairs are simple and the fragrance of tea is light.
The uncle at the next table laid out the "Dragon Gate Formation" from all over the world in dialect.
·
During lunch, they turned into a private restaurant next to the red wall and bamboo shadow of Wuhou Temple.
A standard small residential courtyard in western Sichuan.
Mahogany tables and chairs, small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard.
It is quiet and quiet, without flashiness, but full of style everywhere.
The two sat opposite each other, savoring the exquisite and creative Sichuan cuisine.
Even Xie Shuyu, who is usually very efficient, couldn't help but slow down his chopsticks.
In the afternoon, they strolled into Jinli.
On the antique streets, lanterns are hung high and vendors shout.
Sugar paintings, shadow puppets, and a small face-changing stage bring the charm of old Chengdu.
Tang and Song stopped in the crowd and bought a bunch of crystal-clear candied haws.
Pass the candied haws to the female president.
Xie Shuyu wanted to refuse, but finally took a bite.
"Click-" The sugar shell shattered, and the familiar sweet and sour taste filled the lips and teeth.
She couldn’t help but arch her eyebrows and her expression became softer than ever before.
At this moment, the dignified female CEO seemed to have returned to her girlish appearance.
“Buzz buzz—”
The phone in his pocket vibrated violently at an inappropriate time.
[Assistant-Xiao Min]
Xie Shuyu quickly calmed down and answered the phone, "Hello, Xiao Min."
"Well, you inform the marketing department. Well, you inform the marketing department immediately and ask them to send the latest competitive product analysis report in East China to my email before get off work."
"Okay, I understand. Regarding the change of packaging suppliers, I need to discuss it with Director Wang and the others again..."
As she walked, she quickly arranged her work.
When she was about to hang up, Xiaomei couldn't help but remind her: "By the way, Mr. Xie, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you are really not going to the collaborative meeting held by [Sichuan Fresh Supply Chain], right? Then Mr. Chen’s assistant just contacted me, and his tone was not very good.”
She only noticed it when she hung up the phone.
WeChat is already full of unread messages, some of which are even from newly contacted suppliers.
At that moment, the familiar work pressure swarmed in again.
She thought of the pressure brought by Zhongshu Group, the imminent supplier replacement problem, and the tempting but unresolved financing proposal of [Linglian Technology]. She raised her head and looked at Tang and Song, and her lips moved. : "I'll do it one by one"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Tang Song put his arm around her waist and interrupted: "We agreed not to talk about work today, what? My girlfriend, do you want to break your promise and gain weight?"
"But there are a few very important things that need to be dealt with-"
"Is there anything else that is more important than me?" There was irresistible seriousness in his eyes.
Xie Shuyu’s eyes wavered as soon as he got the certificate.
After struggling for a moment, he let out a long breath.
Then put the phone on silent mode.
"Let's go."
Something in her heart seemed to be broken.
After leaving Jinli, they took a bus to the Wangjiang Campus of Sichuan University.
The two of them walked on Wutong Avenue one after another, and the golden phoenix leaves fell to the ground.
Step on it and it will make a fine and healing "rustling" sound.
Xie Shuyu put his hands in his coat pockets and walked slowly and gracefully.
Looking at the quaint teaching building and the young faces, a nostalgic smile appeared between my eyebrows.
Suddenly, there was a "crash--".
A large handful of yellowed sycamore leaves fell from her head, as colorful as rain.
Xie Shuyu turned around and saw Tang Song standing under the tree with a narrow smile on his face, clapping his hands towards him.
"Don't make trouble, the leaves are dirty, I just washed the clothes."
She glared at him, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
Tang Song stepped forward with a smile, hugged her gently from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, breathed in the elegant fragrance of her hair, and felt the graceful figure of the female CEO in his arms.
With a little force in his arms, he pushed her up with a smile as she screamed.
"Hey! If you keep doing this, I'm going to be angry!"
"Then you get angry, let me see how cute you look when you are angry."
"You—!"
"Hahahaha"
The sound of play spread on the quiet Wutong Road.
“Da Yi—” A hint of coolness hit her hot cheeks.
The long eyelashes blinked.
Xie Shuyu raised his head.
"Da, da da"
Sparse raindrops began to fall from the gray sky.
On the withered sycamore leaves and the cold stone road, small circles of water appeared.
【微云淡河汉，疏雨滴梧桐。 】
The poem from which her name came suddenly came to mind.
At this moment, she seemed to have really returned to her college days.
At that time, she was like this now, on a drizzling afternoon.
I was walking alone on the boulevard of Jinling University that was planted with French plane trees.
The raindrops wet her hair, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth and vegetation.
She was thinking about the topic for her graduation thesis, and about the dim but promising future.
Like all ordinary girls, I couldn’t help but think about what kind of man I would marry in the future.
She couldn’t help but turn around and look at the figure who also stopped.
At the moment when she lost her mind.
Tang Song suddenly opened his arms and hugged her.
Looking at each other.
The cold raindrops fell from between the two of them.
The breaths overlap at this moment.
"It's raining, we have to leave quickly." Xie Shuyu whispered.
Tang Song did not answer, but just brought his cheek closer.
Xie Shuyu’s heart throbbed violently.
As the drizzle fell, she stood up slightly on her toes and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
At the same time.
【Hema Fresh】Southwest Region Headquarters Office.
The atmosphere was serious and tense.
With a perfect professional smile on his face, Meng Ran was accompanied by a group of middle-aged men in formal suits and strong auras.
While introducing operational data from time to time, he guided them around the wide office area.
But her thoughts were not here at all.
Frequently raise your wrist and look at the phone screen.
No phone call, no WeChat reply.
My best friend Xie Shuyu seemed to have evaporated, completely losing contact.
Looking to the side and in front, I saw the figures clustered in the center.
Meng Ran was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Just this afternoon, several leaders from [Shuxing Development Investment Group] suddenly came to their company to conduct a project inspection.
Mainly because [Hema Fresh] plans to build a high-standard smart warehousing center in Chengdu covering the entire southwest region.
This project, both in terms of investment volume and strategic significance, is enough to attract the attention of provincial leaders.
The [Shuxing Development Investment Group] is a provincial investment platform under the background of the Sichuan Provincial Government. It manages state-owned assets worth hundreds of billions and is the "financier father" of countless local companies.
The most important thing is that the leader who came this time was temporarily changed, and the leader was Director Qian Weiguo.
He also has a more important identity.
Is the director representative of [Shu Xing Investment] assigned to [Zhongshu Group].
As a shareholder director representing the interests of state-owned assets, he has a huge say in the board of directors of [Zhongshu Group]. After the inspection is over, these leaders will go to offline stores to visit and experience.
And that store is on the first floor of Yintai Center. It is also Hema’s largest flagship store in the southwest.
It is very close to the [Shimmer Coffee] flagship store.
In fact, when Xie Shuyu chose to open a store there, she was the one who helped with the matchmaking.
She originally planned to ask Xie Shuyu and Tang Song to rush over immediately, and then meet Director Qian by chance in the store.
Then make a logical introduction to both parties.
By the way, I would like to mention the cooperation between Shimmer Coffee and Shuxian supply chain, as well as some "minor problems" encountered during it.
[Shimmer Coffee] is now a relatively famous new consumer brand in Sichuan Province.
As the founder, Xie Shuyu is fully qualified to get acquainted with people like Qian Weiguo, not to mention the rich man of Tang and Song Dynasty.
As long as we can connect with this line, maybe we can use Director Qian to reconcile and resolve the conflicts at [Zhongshu Group].
After all, even Chen Hao.
If you want to successfully take over the Zhongshu Group in the future, you must also get the support of Director Qian.
She knows very well that [Zhongshu Group], a local snake, has deep roots in Chengdu.
Most of the core supply chain resources are inextricably linked to them.
When your own strength is not strong enough to shake the rules.
The best choice is never "confrontation", but "turning enemies into friends".
Although [Shimmer Coffee] can choose to "decouple" forcefully, it will inevitably incur huge costs and even affect the quality of the product.
Now, she has made up her mind to change jobs and become the C00 of [Shimmer Coffee].
Naturally, I hope that the future of this company will be more stable and smooth.
At this time.
The crowd began to walk out, and the leaders were going to offline stores.
Meng Ran could only reluctantly put away his phone and followed quickly.
I couldn’t help but feel a trace of resentment toward my best friend.
This silly girl!
I usually care so much about my work, but why do I become so unreliable when it comes to love?
In the next hour or so.
Meng Ran forcibly restrained all his selfishness and anxiety.
Accompanying Qian Weiguo and his team, they inspected the operation of offline stores and introduced the latest results of "Hema × Member Store".
Also answered questions raised by leaders from a professional perspective.
The whole process is watertight and impeccable.
When all the leaders were finally sent to the car respectfully, they watched the black Audi A6L slowly disappear into the traffic.
Meng Ran felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She looked at her immediate superior next to her.
In the end, I still didn’t say anything about my resignation.
Let’s wait a little longer.
Let’s see if there are any other opportunities to contact Director Qian again and deepen our relationship.
After all, it was hard for her to hook up with this thread today.
It would be a pity for Shimmer Coffee, which is still in trouble, to be cut off just because of his resignation.
And, tomorrow is the brand private meeting of "China Business News".
Being present as a regional executive of Hema Xiansheng will undoubtedly have more weight and can better help Xie Shuyu open up the situation.
After all, it’s not just the dairy giants and supply chain bosses from the Southwest who will be here tomorrow.
There are also partners from many top financial technology companies in the imperial capital and Shanghai.
That was a truly high-end game.
Just when she was upset.
"Yu Yu Yu Yi -" The phone suddenly vibrated.
【小雨】
The phone finally rang, and what was dancing on the screen was 【小雨】.
Meng Ran walked quickly to the corner and pressed the answer button. His voice was full of uncontrollable eagerness: "Hello?! Xie Shuyu! Where did you go?! You didn't answer the phone or reply to your WeChat message. I thought you were kidnapped!"
Xie Shu came from the receiver. Yu's deep voice: "Sorry, Ranran, my phone is always on silent."
"You!" Meng Ran was furious, "Then where are you now?"
"Just arrived at the Yintai Center flagship store of Shimmer Coffee."
Meng Ran felt like he couldn't breathe, "Oh! My aunt! Director Qian and the others just left two minutes ago!"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
".I'm sorry, Ranran."
Hearing her apology full of exhaustion and apology, all Meng Ran's anger instantly turned into helplessness.
She sighed and said in a slower tone: "Forget it, things are already like this. I'm here at Building B of Yintai Center now. Don't move, I'll go find you."
"Okay."
Xie Shuyu's voice was very soft, and you could tell she was disappointed.
Meng Ran paused and then asked: "By the way, have you told Tang and Song about this?"
"Not yet. I came to the flagship store for dinner in the evening, mainly because I wanted to talk to him about the supply chain in the southwest. After all, He is also the company's major shareholder now, and according to the process, his consent is also required. "
"Okay, I understand, hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ran explained to his colleagues.
He picked up his bag and left.
Turned a corner and passed through the corridor inside the shopping mall.
Soon I saw the familiar door.
Pushing the door open, she glanced around and saw her best friend sitting alone in the booth in front of the window.
"Ranran, you are here."
Meng Ran walked over and sat down next to her.
He said angrily: "Ms.
Throughout the whole day today, she was immersed in the long-lost relaxation and joy.
The hustle and bustle of the Kuanzhai Alley, the tea bowls in People's Park, the candied haws in Jinli, the drizzle under the Sichuan University parasol trees, and the tender moments of hugging, made her seem to have entered a completely different life.
Especially after the phone was muted, she really didn’t think about anything.
Forgot about work and worries, just immersed in the nourishment and warmth of love.
But reality must be faced after all.
As Meng Ran said, she did miss an excellent opportunity.
Regret, anxiety, self-blame and helplessness surged into my heart like a tide.
For her, who has always regarded her career as her highest pursuit in life, this blow was particularly heavy.
Looking at his best friend’s disappointed expression, the anger in Meng Ran’s heart completely dissipated.
He comforted her softly: "Forget it, just miss it if you miss it. There may be another chance in the future. Moreover, I also got the contact information of Director Qian's office, so there will always be a way."
"Yeah." Xie Shuyu sighed.
Meng Ran glanced left and right and asked, "Where are the Tang and Song Dynasties?
"Over there."
Meng Ran looked in the direction pointed by his best friend and hesitated.
In the bar not far away, Tang Song was standing behind the console, making coffee himself.
He was wearing a simple white shirt, with the cuffs casually rolled up to his elbows, and his smooth arms looked particularly clean under the light.
The expression is focused, the movements are elegant, and it is pleasing to the eye.
The soft light shone on him.
The whole person exudes a strong ascetic temperament.
Meng Ran smashed his mouth.
Okay, this is a damn disaster.
If it were me, if I had such a great boyfriend.
Let alone work, I probably even forgot my last name.
I have to say, my good sisters eat really well!
Then, she lowered her voice and asked tentatively: "Xiaoyu, how are you going to deal with that matter this morning?"
Xie Shuyu's brows He moved slightly, "Ranran, don't worry about this, and don't talk nonsense. I didn't plan to get married in the first place, you should know."
Meng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what she meant.
As a good friend from college, she naturally knows Xie Shuyu’s character.
A standard career-oriented strong woman is even more desperate than her.
She has no confidence in marriage and has never seriously considered falling in love.
Originally, when I saw that she had found a boyfriend, I thought she had finally figured it out, but I didn’t expect that it was still the case.
"But" Meng Ran couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "Even so, he shouldn't have gone to have breakfast with another woman the morning after he slept with you for the first time, right? This is too much!"
Xie Shuyu's fingers exerted slight force.
She found that she really seemed to care a little now.
The two were silent for a while.
"No!" Meng Ran slammed the table and lowered his voice: "I still think he is too scumbag! Since he does not intend to take on the responsibilities of marriage, he should share more trouble and pressure for you in his career! You are just too strong and have too much self-esteem. Like [Shu Xian] Why don't you just leave that matter to him? He is the major shareholder anyway. And let him know how many people a beautiful girl like you is out there, which makes him nervous!" Before he finished speaking, a steady sound of footsteps approached.
"What are you talking about? So excited?"
Tang Song came over with two cups of coffee.
Meng Ran's eyes flashed and he made an annoyed expression, "I'm scolding you, Boss Xie! Director Qian of [Shu Xing Investment] came to inspect our store this afternoon. I originally wanted to introduce it to Xiao Yu to see if [Shimmer Coffee] can be solved.
Current Marijuana Annoying. As a result, your boss Xie didn’t answer my phone calls or reply to my WeChat messages, so I missed it."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What's the big trouble?"
Meng Ran looked a little excited and was about to speak.
Xie Shuyu raised her hand and interrupted her, "Let me speak."
Tang Song sat down in the booth and looked quietly at the female CEO opposite.
Xie Shuyu pondered for a moment and then said: "It's still a matter of the supply chain. The southwest region is our second core market after North China. In order to ensure the quality of our products, we must use the best raw materials. We have cooperated with the provincial government before. [Shu Xian Supply Chain] introduced by the Catering Association——
Then, she explained clearly and clearly the problems of Shu Xian, the control of Zhongshu Group behind Shu Xian, the high dependence on the supply chain, and the "shareholding conditions" proposed by Zhongshu Group.
At the end of her speech, she finally couldn't hold back her tone, and said with solemn eyes: "[Zhongshu Group] is a real local giant, with a state-owned background behind it, and almost controls the warehousing, logistics and supply chain of the entire southwest region. The conditions they offered are obviously to take advantage, so I can't agree."
Meng Ran hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but interjected: "Also, [Sichuan Fresh Food] Chen Hao, the general manager of [Zhongshu Group], is the son of the chairman of Zhongshu Group. He is obviously interested in Xiaoyu, and the so-called cross-shareholding and Series B financing may also have this reason."
Meng Ran did not interrupt, but stared at Tang and Song closely.
She wants to see it.
Faced with a behemoth like [Zhongshu Group], there is such a profound background behind it.
What would the Tang and Song Dynasties do?
If he really cares about Xiaoyu and the company she worked so hard to create, he should stand up no matter how difficult it is.
Shouldn’t we just back down?
However, there was no panic or worried expression on Tang Song's face.
He pushed the steaming coffee in front of Xie Shuyu.
He raised his hand and helped her brush the broken hair around her ears.
"Okay, I understand. I will handle this matter."
As soon as Meng Ran got the certificate, he subconsciously asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"
However, he noticed that the lazy and gentle smile on Tang Song's face had disappeared.
The whole person’s aura became condensed and cold.
This invisible sense of oppression made her words stuck in her throat.
Then, Tang Song picked up the phone, found a contact, and dialed it directly.
“Dudu—”
The call was answered almost instantly.
He said directly without any greetings: "Secretary Chen, it's me."
"You know [Zhongshu Holding Group Co., Ltd.], right?"
“A coffee company I personally invested in [Shimmer Coffee] has recently encountered some operating resistance from Zhongshu in the southwest market.”
“”.-Well, okay. Then let Chen Jinsong contact me directly. ”
Listening to the content of this brief call between Tang and Song Dynasty, especially the last sentence where he directly mentioned names.
The two people opposite were startled.
Xie Shuyu was stunned for a moment, his fingers clasped stiffly on the wall of the cup.
Meng Ran’s expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
She has naturally heard of Chen Jinsong’s name.
The vice president of the Provincial Catering Association, the chairman of the Zhongshu Group, a well-known figure in the business community of Sichuan Province, and the father of Chen Hao.
Tang and Song Dynasties actually used such an almost commanding tone to ask the other party to contact him? !
