Return To 1998

8 am the next day.

Tongdao Xu sat at the table by the window on the second floor in the old tree cafe near the No. 3 Construction Company in Tianyun City, quietly flipping through a book on economics and management.

Slowly, slowly, as if he came here today to drink coffee and read a book.

Next to another table not far away, Xi Dongyang and Tang Qing were sitting.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a sound of footsteps. A tall man in black trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt, with a brown leather bag tucked in his arms, trotted over.

Hearing the voice, Xu Tongdao looked away from the book and looked up.

Then with a smile on his face, he got up and stretched out his hand, Manager Jin! Slow down! No hurry, I take the liberty to ask you to meet me, sorry to bother you!

The tall man smiled, reached out and shook hands with Xu Tongdao, Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? It's rare that you still remember me, Mr. Xu, I am very honored to receive your invitation! If you want to interrupt, it's me who interrupts you. Ah! Hehe.

This person's name is Jin Yunfei.

He is a deputy manager of the project department of Tianyun Third Construction Company.

In his early thirties, tall and energetic.

Before, the factory buildings, office buildings, canteens, internal roads, etc. of Ximen Food Co., Ltd. in Xutongdao were all constructed by Tianyun Third Construction Company.

At that time, Jin Yunfei was the project leader in charge of those projects.

It was at that time that Xu Tongdao knew him.

During the few months of dealing with Jin Yunfei, Xu Tongdao admired this person's work ability, especially his work enthusiasm.

But it was also during that time that Xu Tongdao inadvertently noticed that Jin Yunfei didn't seem to be doing well in the third construction company.

It seems that Jin Yunfei was assigned to be in charge of the construction of his factories, office buildings, canteens, etc., which seems to be the result of being crowded out.

How did Xu Tongdao come to this conclusion?

Once, he happened to overhear Jin Yunfei talking on the phone with someone. Jin Yunfei didn't see him at that time. In fact, Tongdao Xu didn't see Jin Yunfei at that time either.

Both are in the bathroom.

A toilet cubicle is separated from each other.

Jin Yunfei was on the phone with someone, and what he said happened to be heard by Tongdao Xu.

After that day, Xu Tongdao once again, when communicating with a person in charge of the construction company, thought of Jin Yunfei, out of curiosity and a little thought, he casually asked how Jin Yunfei was doing in the company.

The person in charge at that time probably didn't think much about it, and said a few words to him casually.

There are a few words in it that Xu Tongdao has always kept in his heart.

He remembered what the man said at the time: Deputy manager Jin? Oh, he is unlucky! He is also unlucky! I remember that when he joined our company, he joined the company at the same time as our leader's nephew. In terms of academic qualifications , On the ability, Deputy Manager Jin did not say, but he had no relationship between people, and he was the nephew of the leader. Do n’t you be promoted? So ... haha, Mr. Xu, do you understand what I mean?

The man didn't say anything at the time.

But for Xu Tongdao, it was a clear story.

The nephew of the leader, who wants to be promoted, will naturally perform better than his colleagues who joined the same period.

Even if it's just better in the mouth of the leader.

Therefore, Jin Yunfei should have been suppressed.

When Xu Tongdao heard this, he took it to heart.

The second thing he did in Tianyun City this time was to ask Jin Yunfei to meet.

...

The coffee ordered by Jin Yunfei is on the table.

The two exchanged a few words and finally got to the point.

Jin Yunfei: Mr. Xu, I wonder if you asked me to meet here today?

When asked, Jin Yunfei looked at Xu Tongdao curiously.

Tongdao Xu put down the coffee cup in his hand and said jokingly: Manager Jin's talent, I've seen it before, it's outstanding! So, I'm here to poach people today, Manager Jin! Consider coming to my place? Consider it. a bit?

Jin Yunfei looked surprised and blinked, Mr. Xu, are you kidding me?

Tongdao Xu's smile did not change, Manager Jin thinks that I specially invited you here today just to make a joke with you?

Jin Yunfei had doubts in his eyes, No, Mr. Xu, I remember that your factory produces instant noodles, right? You came to dig me? I'm studying architecture, oh, what are you digging me for? Help you make instant noodles? This, this major is too out of place, isn't it? I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I didn't think about crossing industries so well for the time being, sorry!

Tongdao Xu shook his head slightly, Of course I didn't ask you to produce instant noodles. Manager Jin, don't rush to refuse. Let me tell you this! I plan to enter the real estate industry recently, and I'm already planning to acquire land and build a building, but I still have a shortage here. A person in charge who helps me manage these matters, you can rest assured that the treatment will definitely exceed your treatment in the third construction company, and if you have any other requirements, you can also mention it to me.

Having said that, Xu Tongdao did not continue to talk.

He stared at Jin Yunfei, who was facing him.

Jin Yunfei was more and more surprised as he listened, and his brows slowly wrinkled, thoughtfully.

After Tongdao Xu finished speaking, Jin Yunfei didn't speak for a while.

After a while, Jin Yunfei asked earnestly: Mr. Xu, do you really plan to enter the real estate industry? Well... I can ask, do you plan to do a project? Or do you plan to develop in this industry for a long time in the future? What about investment?

...

Tongdao Xu and Jin Yunfei chatted in this cafe for more than two hours.

In the end, Jin Yunfei still did not agree.

But Tongdao Xu could also see that Jin Yunfei was already hesitating.

Said to go back and think about it for a few days, and then reply to him when he really thinks about it.

In this regard, Xu Tongdao expressed his understanding and did not force him to express his position on the spot.

Digging people, there is a process that is normal.

How can a true talent easily decide to change jobs?

...

In the afternoon, Xu Tongdao and others took the car back to the water bird city.

When they arrived in the city, Tongdao Xu sent Tan Shi and Tang Qing to the head office of the group, while he continued to take the car and returned to Shazhou County with Xi Dongyang.

He and Xi Dongyang have not been back to the sandbar for some days.

This time when he went back, he first asked Xi Dongyang to drive the car to a supermarket, got out of the car and went in with Xi Dongyang to buy a bunch of food and things to put into the car.

Then let Xi Dongyang drive to his house first.

This his family is Xi Dongyang's family.

Xi Dongyang was surprised.

Tong Xu said: You haven't come back for a while, so go home and rest for two days! I'll drive home by myself in a while, and I may stay at home for two days. Before I leave, I'll call you again.

Xi Dongyang thought about it, smiled, agreed, and said thank you.

When Xi Dongyang got off the bus, Tongdao Xu took some things he just bought from the supermarket from the trunk and brought them home for Xi Dongyang.

Xi Dongyang was not polite to him either.

Soon, Tongdao Xu drove home alone.

It is now July.

During his brother's college entrance examination last month, his factory was at a critical time for product launch, and he couldn't find time to come back.

Right now, his brother's college entrance examination has already been completed, and he actually wanted to come back and take a look.
