The best way to get revenge on a rival

On the second day, Heyuan's software solution introduction meeting went surprisingly smoothly from the beginning to the speech. Lu Ningjing and An Tong were two people, one was in charge of the technical part and the other was in charge of the business part. Needless to say, the speech part, both of them were experienced. Lu Ningjing also put so much thought into tailoring a solution for Heyuan, and the project team in charge of Heyuan kept nodding, saying that the solution was feasible.

During the questioning session, Heyuan was quite sharp, which was probably the reason why they valued their plan. The senior management were very vicious. Qiu Chengyan kept playing with his pen and didn't say anything. No matter how particular you are, you ask the most tricky questions, and even at the end, you even ask questions like why you know so much about our company and whether you know anyone who knows the internal situation.

This question made both Lu Ningjing and An Tong choke. It is the default duty of the workplace to have a few people they know inside to tell them the situation. Lu Ningjing saw that the man was still waiting for their answer. Everyone seemed to be in awe of this man, and they didn't dare to have any objections to his question. They knew that this man had a very high status in the company, and he might even be the one who took the lead in opposing Qiu Chengyan's side.

This needs to be answered properly. Qiu Chengyan was still turning his pen over there carelessly. Lu Ningjing thought for a while and said, "Let me make an inappropriate analogy. The purpose of the software we sell is to solve every need. This aspect of software companies As far as we are concerned, our target company is our patients. In order to cure the patient’s disease, we will find out what disease our patient has by means of looking, smelling, asking, and feeling, and then analyze, Discuss the solution, and then prescribe the right medicine, and strive to cure the disease of the people we serve."

The middle-aged man was noncommittal about his answer, just wrote a few strokes in his notebook, then turned to Qiu Chengyan and said, "I'm done with my question, Vice President Qiu?"

"Ah," Qiu Chengyan seemed to be pulled back suddenly while he was still in a daze, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "I don't have any questions, but Mr. Lin, in the future, questions like whether you have placed eyeliner in our company It’s better not to ask, it’s our company’s face that will be lost.”

Crowd: ...

"Hmph, then you can figure it out yourself." The man named Mr. Lin probably didn't expect Qiu Chengyan to choke him like this in front of everyone, so he got up and left with a cold snort.

Qiu Chengyan shrugged his shoulders, said he didn't care, and said, "Do you have any questions?"

There was no sound in Nuo Da's meeting room, probably because of the unhappiness just now that made them all fear. Everyone knows that this future boss is upright, as long as he looks unhappy, even his father will dare to offend, so no one will Dare to be the first bird again, for fear of being hurt.

"If not, let's go."

Everyone got up immediately, and within a minute, only Lu Ningjing and the others, Qiu Chengzhi and his assistant were left in the meeting room, and Qiu Chengzhi lazily stood up from his seat, and smiled friendlyly at Lu Ningjing: "Let Lu Ningjing Mr. laughed."

Lu Ningjing and An Tong were a little unhappy when they saw that Qiu Chengyan dismissed the people. Originally, after the plan introduction meeting, there was still a small free time for communication. Some high-level executives were interested in their ppt, their ideas, and their If you are interested in the product, you will leave a contact information in private, but now what does this mean? Both Lu Ningjing and An Tong expressed a little confusion.

But the face is still for Qiu Chengyan, Lu Ningjing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's our stuff and there is still room for improvement."

"No, no, I think your products are very good, but that old man is too tricky. Hmph, that old man said he wanted to compete fairly and compete for the best, but he turned a corner to run on other businesses."

"..."

In fact, Mr. Lin deliberately found reasons to make things difficult for them. It's not like Lu Ningjing and the others couldn't hear it, but Lu Ningjing didn't dare to say that the other party was running on them. Some customers have such a natural personality, and some customers even have a fancy to them. There are so many messy questions, but it doesn’t rule out that there are things like I just don’t like your family, asking some difficult and critical questions to embarrass you, so that he has a reason to run on them .

——Even the program introduction meeting was embarrassed like this. Why are you here to sell any products? Go home and sort out your own problems before you come out to mess around.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Chengyan said it directly like this. Lu Ningjing smiled, avoided the topic, and asked, "Then what does Mr. Qiu think of our plan?"

Qiu Chengyan looked at An Tong behind him, Lu Ningjing understood, "An Tong, you and Xiao Fang are waiting for me outside, I will come out later."

"You guys go out too." Qiu Chengyan said to himself.

Qiu Chengyan waited until they all went out, then sat lazily on the chair, continued to play with his pen, and said to Lu Ningjing, "How about we gamble?"

Lu Ningjing was puzzled: "What are you betting on?"

"Bet on who will have the last laugh between me and Mr. Lin's faction. Now I need an excellent software vendor who supports me wholeheartedly. I think yours is very good. Do you dare to bet with me?"

If Qiu Chengyan said that Lu Ningjing didn't understand what it meant, he would be in vain. Although Qiu Chengyan has the name of the project leader, his position is extremely unstable. The person headed by Mr. Lin is probably the most opposed That faction, and he has a strong software supplier behind him, so Qiu Chengyan wanted to win him over and let him follow him.

If he succeeds, his software may not be sold, but if he loses, his software will definitely not be sold.

The advantage is that he has fewer objects to fight with, and he only needs to fight with the family that Mr. Lin supports. The disadvantage is that he can no longer have the relationship with Mr. Lin, even if Qiu Chengyan is KO halfway.

"How about it, dare you?" Qiu Chengyan said, "I won't force you, and I will tell you clearly that there is a 50% or even more chance that I will be squeezed out."

"Dare, why not?" Lu Ningjing didn't even think about it. Back then, he even thought about the method of taking Zheng Yunfan's hand, not to mention Qiu Chengyan has real power in his hands. "But Mr. Qiu, I have a small condition."

Qiu Chengyan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Say it."

"I hope we have a cooperative service relationship, not..." Lu Ningjing paused, "The relationship between chess players and chess pieces."

***

"It seems that today is going well?" Zheng Heng saw that Lu Ningjing was full of smiles, so he knew that he had made it today, "Congratulations, Manager Lu."

"Not only did I succeed, but I also made a great decision. If my boss knew about my decision, he would kill me."

At this time, many software vendors are actually in a wait-and-see position. Generally, they will not clearly express their support for who is against the other party. They may not choose you if they win, but they will definitely not choose you if they lose.

Zheng Heng said: "Do you really miss the days when you followed me, a foolish king?"

"Mr. Zheng, how do I remember how many times you threatened me with Hongya's list?"

Zheng Heng: ...

"The plot requires it." Zheng Heng rubbed his nose and changed the subject, "Are you going to eat at your uncle's place tonight?"

His uncle was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday, and he hired a nanny to take care of his food and daily life. Because some subordinates of his company came to see him during the hospitalization and gave him red envelopes, so after he was discharged from the hospital, he reserved a few tables near his home for his colleagues in the company to eat. However, he was not healthy enough to go there, so he set up a table at home and invited a few people who were close to him to go.

Lu Ningjing and Zheng Heng went earlier. When they went, his brother-in-law's friends in city a and those who were close to his company hadn't come yet. Although his brother-in-law is still wrapped around his head and waist Although he was wearing a bandage, his spirit recovered very well, and he gradually let go of his prejudice against Zheng Heng. After all, Zheng Heng is not that kind of annoying person. Whether it's the connotation, I can't find anything that people don't like.

So when they arrived, Lu Xuming called them over to drink tea. Seeing him boiling water to make tea, Zheng Heng hurried over and said I'd come. Lu Xuming waved his hand to indicate a small matter, and said to Lu Ningjing who had just sat down, "Go to the middle of my study." In that drawer, I have hidden a small pot of good tea over there, please bring it for me."

Lu Ningjing pouted: "You don't have to worry about breaking the refrigerator if you don't put it in."

"I'm used to it," his uncle waved his hand, and said to Zheng Heng, "When I was in city S, someone honored me with a small bag of good tea. I heard that it was drunk by the people above, and I kept it in the refrigerator and didn't want to drink it. My daughter took it to make tea eggs, but it didn’t make me mad, so I hide all the good tea.”

It is indeed polite enough, Zheng Heng said with a smile: "Someone gave me a ginseng, and put it at home. At that time, I was in the mansion, and there were many children in the house. I don't know which child dug it out, but they regarded it as a ginseng." I just gnawed off the snacks, and I was afraid I would scold them and throw them into the pond if I couldn’t gnaw them, but luckily they weren’t velvet antlers, otherwise I might have nosebleeds.”

Lu Ningjing couldn't hear clearly what his uncle said. He obediently ran to get some tea. The two men in the living room laughed from time to time. , the whole person has changed a lot.

It was the first time for him to enter his uncle's study room. His uncle's study room was very simple and in line with his style. Apart from bookshelves, desk stools, and a pot of bonsai, he couldn't even see anything else.

Lu Ningjing found his uncle's tea, and when he was about to close the drawer, he saw a section of a photo clipped in a collection of essays in his inside, and that section... Lu Ningjing glanced roughly, thinking It's him and his uncle, and the two people in the photo are quite intimate. When did he take this kind of picture with his uncle?

Lu Ningjing swore that he didn't peek on purpose, but he still couldn't help pulling out the photo a little bit. The photo is a little yellowed, obviously it's been a long time, but the owner kept it well, and the face of the person on it is still fresh, although it's not as high-definition and beautiful as the current photo , but Lu Ningjing also recognized that the person was not him, but... Qiu Zixuan.

Why did he recognize Qiu Zixuan as himself at first sight?Lu Ningjing was a little speechless. He found a photo of himself on his phone and compared it with the person in the photo. Not to mention, he looked real at first glance, but he didn't look the same when he looked closely.

The two people in the photo are very young, the outline of his brother-in-law hasn't changed much, but Qiu Zixuan has become more, but overall he can still be recognized, both of them are wearing white shirts, Qiu Zixuan clasped his hands on his brother-in-law On his neck, his head leaned intimately on his uncle's shoulders, both of them smiled happily, young and energetic, probably fascinated many little girls in that era.

Lu Ningjing is not a person who likes to think too much, but this time he had to think about it.

Pieces and pieces of things are put together, and a complete answer is ready to come out.

"I've been there for so long, I thought you couldn't find it." His uncle was in a particularly good mood today, with a smile on his face, and he was a completely different person compared to his previous seriousness.

"No, I tripped over a stool and almost fell." Lu Ningjing lied casually, and swallowed the words again.

"You are always careless and frizzy." Zheng Heng said, pulling him over and sitting next to him, "Is there any bruise?"

"No," Lu Ningjing shook his head, and said again, "Mr. Zheng, you and my uncle plus my dad, I think I have three dads, and they all love to teach me so much."

Zheng Heng: ...

Lu Xuming just laughed and didn't speak.

"By the way, uncle, my colleague's mother is a pretty good person. She has been single for more than 10 years and has been alone with her..."

"Stop, stop," Lu Xuming interrupted Lu Ningjing, "I will never get married again in this life, so don't blindly participate and learn from others to pull the red line."

"But uncle, you are less than 50 years old now, and there is still more than half of the way to go. If you are alone, you should find a partner. Maybe you can meet a suitable one and have a love in old age."

"It's fine for me to live alone. I just hope that you can come and see me when you have time, and that's enough."

"Really?" Lu Ningjing looked at his uncle's face, "You..."

"What?" His uncle looked at him suspiciously when he saw that he hadn't written anything for a long time.

"No, I just want to say you find someone, I don't mind."

For a moment, Lu Ningjing wanted to ask if you couldn't forget that person, but he knew that Qiu Zixuan had a wife and daughter, and his family was happy, so it was useless not to forget him. He suddenly felt that his uncle was very pitiful, although he didn't know what happened to them in the past What, but now his brother-in-law is walking alone, the fact that his children are not around is a visible fact, and the resentment towards Qiu Zixuan can also be seen by anyone with eyes, and that treasured photo...

It's probably because his uncle is sorry for others, who knows about such things as love.

It's just that he is so upright, and even his oppositional attitude when he knew that he and Zheng Heng are in that kind of relationship makes Lu Ningjing a little unbelievable that his uncle had a past with a man.

And...that Qiu Zixuan is very likely to be his biological father.

"I'm not afraid that you might mind, I really don't have that plan, come here, don't talk about it, drink tea, Xiao Zheng, you have seen a lot, try my tea, I only drank it once, usually I can’t bear to take it out and drink it.”

"it is good."

Zheng Heng replied that he was so familiar with Lu Ningjing that he could tell what he was thinking by looking at his face. Zheng Heng, seeing Lu Ningjing's appearance and the way he hesitated, also knew what he might know, so he shook him quietly. Lu Ningjing turned to look at him, saw him blinking at her, smiled too, concentrated on drinking tea, and didn't mention this matter again.

After a while, Yi Kangcheng and Lu Xuming's colleagues also came, and they crowded into the room, making it very lively, so Lu Ningjing didn't mention that matter again.

On the other hand, Yi Kangcheng took a few glances at Lu Ningjing, and said to Lu Xuming with a smile: "Xiao Lu is really a good-looking talent. It seems that the children of your Lu family are more outstanding than each other. I used to hate that there was no younger sister who could marry you. I hate that no daughter can marry your nephew."

"Even if you have a daughter, there is no chance. My nephew already has a master."

Lu Xuming knew that Yi Kangcheng was familiar with Qiu Zixuan, so he would definitely think that he and Qiu Zixuan resembled him at first glance, but it didn't matter, it didn't matter how much he doubted, now that he had a son by his side and a grandson, there was nothing dissatisfied in life , as for Qiu Zixuan...

They are already so old, loving him once in this life has already exhausted him, the Qiu family is not so easy to deal with, now that they have let go, they will not be able to toss about when they are old, and it may even hurt Ning Jing.

So, so be it, love or something is not important to those who are already in their twilight years.

It was already late when we went back after dinner. Lu Ningjing drank some wine, and today he didn't have much rest because of the plan introduction meeting. He dozed off there when he got in the car. He didn't open his eyes until he felt someone hugging him. , facing Zheng Heng's enlarged face.

"Did it bother you?" Zheng Heng hugged him out of the car like a princess.

"...I will go by myself."

Lu Ningjing wanted to break free, but Zheng Heng tightened his hands, "It's okay, I can hold it."

"It's not good to be seen by Wang Ma later."

"Then you pretend to be asleep."

"..."

"Let's take a walk in the yard first to sober up." Lu Ningjing broke free from his arms and said.

"Ah."

Zheng Heng was more than happy to accompany him, holding his hand and walking slowly in the yard, Lu Ningjing smiled and said, "Why does it feel like I'm taking a walk when I'm old?"

"Why didn't you say you were walking when you were in love," Zheng Heng disagreed, "Look at us like this, how romantic it is."

Lu Ningjing didn't answer, and kicked the stone under his feet: "Do you think Secretary Qiu and I look alike?"

Zheng Heng paused for a moment, he really knew something, but Lu Ningjing's calm attitude was beyond his expectation. He remembered how violent this little guy was when he knew his uncle was his biological father. live at home.

"Well, it was a little bit at first, but I didn't feel it later, why did you say that?"

"I saw a photo in my uncle's study today. When I saw the person in the photo for the first time, I thought it was a photo of my uncle and me. When I looked carefully, I saw that it was Secretary Qiu and me. Uncle."

"So do you think there is any connection between you, your uncle, and Secretary Qiu?"

"That's right, it can't be a coincidence, Zheng Heng, if this is true, how will I treat Secretary Qiu in the future? I think his attitude towards me will be the same. In fact, he knows it, but he doesn't want to admit it. Me, after all, the illegitimate child is a huge stain on his future, and it may even make him lose his job, it is not easy for him to get to this point."

"Then do you want to meet him?" Zheng Heng looked at him.

Lu Ningjing shook his head: "He doesn't even want to recognize me, why should I have the cheek to recognize him, it's because he abandoned me and I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to support the elderly and not want him."

"So, since this is the case, why do you care about how to face him? Go according to your own heart. Even if you don't want to see him in the future, the gate of my Zheng family will definitely not let him in. Don't be afraid of anything. , I will always be your strong backing." Zheng Heng touched Lu Ningjing's head and said.

"Let's go with the flow." In fact, it was probably because he didn't have any feelings for Qiu Zixuan. When he knew the truth, his heart was surprisingly peaceful, not as turbulent as when he knew his uncle was his father. His feelings were different.
