Chapter 636: All Came Here for the Smell of Fish
Facing Huang Lilin's reproach, Su Mingzhe refused to respond:
"Uncle Huang, you are wrongly accusing me. After I came back, I went to Tianke several times. You are so busy that I couldn't see you every time I went. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Ming, he can testify for me."

When Su Mingzhe came back to start his own company, he asked Maria from HR department to send letters to five Tianzi subsidiaries, hoping to poach their chief economists to Tianlong Company.

The chief economist is the core of the core for a construction company.

In the TV series, when Su Xiao was the chief economist of Tiancheng Company, Tiancheng Company was invincible.

However, after Su Xiao was transferred to the headquarters, Tiancheng's business capabilities immediately declined significantly.

Therefore, even if the chief economists of several subsidiaries are willing to go to Tianlong Company, several CEOs are unwilling to transfer their chief economists.

The end result was that when Su Mingzhe visited several subsidiaries, the CEOs all avoided him.

Su Mingzhe actually knew that these five subsidiaries would definitely not agree to transfer their chief economists.

The reason why he still asked for the money was that he adopted the strategy of "I ask for a high price, and you can pay me back on time."

Since the five of you are unwilling to give such an important position as the chief economist, then the other employees should be left to you to choose, right?
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe transferred young employees with potential from several companies, including the receptionist Du Juan, to his own Tianlong Company.

After several CEOs realized what was happening, they often cursed Su Mingzhe as a "little fox" behind his back.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe had silenced Huang Lilin with just a few words, Xia Ming had no choice but to step forward and support his uncle:
"Boss Su, my uncle hid away for a few days because you forced him to do so. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to poach all the potential employees in our company. If my uncle didn't hide away, Tianke would be paralyzed..."

Xia Ming is also a sharp-tongued person who refuses to admit defeat.

Previously, Tianke was taken advantage of by Su Mingzhe and several potential employees were transferred away from the company. That situation was a forced and helpless move.

After all, Zhao Xiankun is standing behind Su Mingzhe.

The CEOs of several subsidiaries have to give some face.

So when everyone suffered a loss in silence, they were ready to swallow their anger and not speak up about the matter anymore.

However, Xia Ming is not the boss of the company. He and Su Mingzhe are of the same age, so he can say whatever he wants.

Su Mingzhe laughed when Xia Ming joined in the conversation, and spoke again:

"Brother Ming, I don't agree with what you said. Whether it's Tianke or Tianlong, they are all under the Yinghai umbrella, and we are all one family..."

"Boss Su, if Tianke seconded your Director Su, would you let him go?"

Su Xiao didn't expect that Xia Ming would actually want to turn the tables on her, and she couldn't help but laugh again:

"Yes, of course. But just like what you said in the meeting, we are all family. We should adopt a competitive mechanism and the highest bidder wins. The price I am going to offer Su Xiao is 1% of the company's shares. How much are you prepared to spend to poach Su Xiao?"

Su Mingzhe couldn't continue the conversation after hearing what he said!

Because Tianke’s equity is at the headquarters of Yinghai Group.

Xia Ming looked at Su Xiao deeply, then sighed secretly. He was willing to give this 1% of the shares, but unfortunately he had no say in the matter.

"Xiaozhe, you have been generous since you were young. Your brother Ming and I are not as good as you."

Huang Lilin also came back to his senses at this time, remembering what he and his nephew Xia Ming had intended to say to Su Mingzhe, and quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Xiaozhe, your brother Ming and I have something to talk to you about. Let's find a place to talk."

"Okay, Uncle Huang will arrange it."

Su Mingzhe thought that there was still a long time before his reunion with Lin Xiaomin, so he could get together with Huang Lilin and Xia Ming first.

After a while, the four of them arrived at a private club.

This place should be where Huang Lilin often comes.

Because as soon as he entered the room and sat on the sofa, he looked particularly relaxed.

The four of them sat down.

Huang Lilin didn't waste any more words and spoke directly:

"Xiaozhe, Uncle Huang knows that you bought a piece of land today. It's not a small piece of land, a full 20,000 square meters. What are you going to develop it for? Can you let Tianke participate as well?"

When Su Mingzhe went to bid, he used the name of Tianlong Company, a subsidiary of Yinghai Group.

Therefore, after the bidding ended, basically everyone in the senior management of Yinghai Group who should know the news knew about it.

This was also the main reason why Su Mingzhe took the initiative to reveal to Zhao Xiankun that he had 20 to 30 billion in idle funds.

Now, Huang Lilin took the lead and prepared to intercept Su Mingzhe and get the development project.

Su Mingzhe knew that this society requires the use of human relationships and worldly wisdom, so when Huang Lilin spoke so directly, he didn't waste any words and just smiled and said:

"Uncle Huang, I'll give you 15 points of profit. How about you give me a bid so I can take a look at it first?"

Su Mingzhe's meaning was very simple. He was willing to give Tianke a chance to participate, but Tianke could not "take advantage of its familiarity".

Go ahead, Su Mingzhe also looked at Su Xiao.

This indicates that the bid documents brought by Tianke will be handed over to Su Xiao for review.

Huang Lilin and Su Xiao were not dealing with each other for the first time. He knew how powerful Su Xiao was, so he could only laugh dryly and responded repeatedly:
"This is what I should do. Thank you, Xiaozhe."

Huang Lilin was a little wary of Su Xiao, but not to the point of being afraid. After all, he still had a nephew, Xia Ming.

When the food and wine came, Huang Lilin drank three cups as a gesture of respect.

Su Mingzhe didn't want to take any more, so he drank three cups with them.

As for Xia Ming and Su Xiao, neither of them drank alcohol.

An hour later, Su Mingzhe said goodbye to Huang Lilin on the pretext that he had to meet with Lin Xiaomin.

Su Xiao didn't drink, so Su Mingzhe didn't call for a designated driver. Su Xiao drove carefully and took Su Mingzhe to the resort in the suburbs.

After leaving the city, there were fewer cars on the road. Su Xiao relaxed and couldn't help asking:
"Boss, you just promised Mr. Huang to let Tianke participate in the project. You will meet with Mr. Lin later. What do you say?"

"Tianke's family can't eat it."

Su Mingzhe instructed Su Xiao:

"Tianke can only undertake the construction project. For some subsequent things, we need the help of Lin Xiaomin's real estate company..."

It's about five o'clock.

Su Xiao drove carefully and brought Su Mingzhe to the holiday estate.

Lin Xiaomin and his female secretary Nana had already arrived. When they saw Su Mingzhe and Su Xiao coming, they smiled and stepped forward to greet them:
"Xiaozhe, you are here."

"Uncle Lin, Sister Nana."

Su Mingzhe smiled and shook hands with the two men.

Nana is an interesting woman. She actually tickles herself with her fingers. Is she trying to put a hat on Lin Xiaomin?

Then the four of them entered the villa. Lin Xiaomin and Nana were the hosts. They took Su Mingzhe for a tour before entering a private room.

Su Mingzhe and Lin Xiaomin were drinking, accompanied by two women.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Xiaomin expressed his thoughts:
"Xiaozhe, how about developing your piece of land together?"

"Uncle Lin, I'm still discussing the land issue, but since you asked, I'll give you a little information."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Lin Xiaomin treated him as his uncle Zhao Xiankun, and asked for things as soon as he opened his mouth, without any courtesy at all.

Su Xiao beside her was so surprised that she was stunned.

This man is so thick-skinned!
"Regarding this piece of land, I don't want to use it myself. I bought it for a friend in the United States. He wants to invest in China, but is afraid of some problems, so he wants me to help him explore the way."

('A friend' is such a good excuse. You can blame everything on 'a friend' and others won't be able to say anything.)
Lin Xiaomin was a little bit unconvinced when he heard Su Mingzhe say this, but he also thought that Su Mingzhe would not cheat on this matter, so he frowned and asked:

"Xiaozhe, what is your friend going to do with the land? Building a headquarters, a factory, or some other project?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaomin was chasing him closely, Su Mingzhe could only shake his head and shrug:
"To be honest, my friend doesn't know that I have already obtained a piece of land. Naturally, we haven't communicated in detail about this piece of land. However, when I was in the United States, he said that he wanted to build a headquarters first. However, Uncle Lin also knows that the piece of land is in the suburbs, the area is not large, and the geographical location is not good. I am afraid it is not decent to use it to build a headquarters."

“That’s still the suburbs?”

Lin Xiaomin was stimulated by Su Mingzhe's words:

"Your piece of land is right next to the Huangpu River, and it's less than five miles away from Lujiazui..."

Su Mingzhe and Lin Xiaomin were joking around.

In order to get Su Mingzhe to agree to his request, Lin Xiaomin toasted him repeatedly.

Nana also followed suit and toasted.

Su Mingzhe never refuses anyone who comes.

After two or three hours, Su Mingzhe was only slightly tipsy, but Lin Xiaomin was already drunk and unconscious.

Even Nana, who has always had a good alcohol tolerance, felt a little dizzy at this moment.

After the party, Su Mingzhe helped Nana call two waiters to help Lin Xiaomin back to the guest room.

Afterwards, Nana insisted on sending Su Mingzhe and Su Xiao away.

When leaving, Su Mingzhe felt that he was ambushed by this woman Nana again.

As soon as he got in the car, the drunk Su Mingzhe immediately regained his consciousness, and then handed the two bottles of Louis XIII given by Nana to Su Xiao, and said with a smile:

"Xiaoxiao, take this wine back. Consider it a little reward I'm giving you in advance."

Su Xiao was a little surprised when she saw Su Mingzhe regain consciousness, but she didn't dare to accept the gift handed to her:
"Boss, I can't take it. It's too expensive."

Louis XIII, even XO grade, costs at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per bottle.

Su Xiao didn't think that she could drink such expensive wine.

"What's so expensive about these? They're just two bottles of wine. If you don't drink, you can send them home and give them to your family."

Su Mingzhe said this and waved his hand, signaling Su Xiao not to refuse, and then asked the driver to take Su Xiao home first.

Su Xiao reported her residential address, which was near the PT area.

As the car started, Su Mingzhe frowned and asked:
"Xiaoxiao, the place where you live is a bit far from the company. It takes a lot of time to commute to get off work, right? Do you want the company to help you rent a house nearby?"

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If my boss thinks I'm delaying work, I'll move."

The house she rented was a witness to her six years of cohabitation with her ex-boyfriend Zhou Jun.

Although she had broken up with her boyfriend, Su Xiao was still unwilling to leave the house.

In the TV series, the landlord increased the rent a lot before the Chinese New Year, but Su Xiao still chose to continue living there.

Now, Su Mingzhe asked her to move house, and her tone sounded somewhat reluctant.

Su Mingzhe could also understand her thoughts. After all, this was the place she had lived in for six years and she had deep feelings for it and almost regarded it as her home.

But...this house must be moved!
Otherwise, there will always be a Zhou Jun living in Su Xiao's mind. When will she be able to move in?
