Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Unexpectedly Obtained Information_1
After three rounds of drinks, the table was a mix of flavors.
Yin Daosong, slightly tipsy, suddenly asked with a gossipy tone, "Qianqian, do you know where Qin Feng works?"
"Where does he work?"
"He’s an assistant at Haiyun Group, earning a meager salary of only 1800 yuan a month."
At Yin Daosong’s words, Wu Qianqian’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"You’re the Sales Director at Haiyun Grand Hotel, with an annual salary of a million. He’s just an assistant at Haiyun Group, with a monthly wage of only 1800 yuan? Are you saying you could easily take care of that stinking idiot?"
"Of course!"
Getting an affirmative response from Yin Daosong, Wu Qianqian immediately concocted a plan.
She suddenly turned to Yin Daosong with a smile blooming like flowers, coquettishly saying,
"Song, if you could thoroughly humiliate that big idiot Qin Feng at the reunion, make him utterly unable to show his face, I’ll be with you."
Organizing this class reunion was precisely for the purpose of humiliating Qin Feng.
The request from Wu Qianqian was exactly what Yin Daosong had in mind, and it also meant he could win the beauty’s favor.
He immediately brightened up, joyfully agreeing, "No problem!"
Elsewhere.
Qin Feng was aimlessly riding a shared bike on the road.
Xue Xiaochan was working overtime in the office, and he was supposed to be there too.
But Qin Feng’s hands were restless.
Fidgeting here and there, he had not been still for a second.
At last, he annoyed Xue Xiaochan and got kicked out.
With nothing else to do, Qin Feng took a shared bike and rode it around the streets for fun.
Suddenly, a black Audi A6 stopped in front of him.
The window rolled down, and a chubby-faced guy poked his head out.
It was Shen Chao, Qin Feng’s college classmate.
They were on good terms during their school days.
After graduation, Shen Chao went off to start his own business, while Qin Feng focused all his attention on Wu Qianqian, and they lost touch.
"Qin Feng, get in the car! It’s been so long, let’s go have a drink!" Shen Chao called out enthusiastically.
"Sure!"
Qin Feng wasn’t shy, and he got straight into Shen Chao’s car, taking the passenger seat.
Shen Chao found a food stall, ordered some dishes, and then brought out a case of beer.
After some small talk and a few drinks, Shen Chao suddenly asked, "I heard you broke up with Wu Qianqian. Is that true?"
"It’s true."
"Bro, listen to my advice, with women, you gotta know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em. My wife has a friend who’s pretty good-looking and works as an English teacher at High School No. 1. If you have time someday, I can have my wife invite her out, have her meet you?"
"Thanks! But no need, I’m already married."
"Married? You really didn’t treat me like a brother, huh? You got married and didn’t even invite me to the wedding banquet!"
Without a way to explain, Qin Feng could only pick up his glass and said, "I kept the wedding low key, no ceremony. When I do have one, I’ll definitely invite you."
"Alright!"
The two finished their drinks in one gulp.
Afterwards, Shen Chao said, "This Saturday, our class is going to have a reunion at Haiyun Grand Hotel, organized by Yin Daosong. You’ve got to come! Since graduation, we old classmates haven’t really had a chance to get together. On Saturday, let’s drink to our heart’s content. We won’t leave until we’re drunk."
"Sure! I’ll definitely go!"
Qin Feng knew that the reunion was targeted at him, but he still agreed without hesitation.
After a few more drinks, Shen Chao asked, "Bro, are you still working as a doctor at the hospital?"
"Not anymore, I’m working as an assistant in a small company."
"An assistant? If you don’t mind, you could come to my company. I’ve been doing renovations since graduation. It’s hard work, but the income is decent. As long as you’re willing to join, I can give you 10% of the shares. I can guarantee you making four to five hundred thousand a year, no problem."
Shen Chao understood Qin Feng’s abilities and genuinely wanted to lend him a hand. After all, they had a decent relationship back in school.
Of course, his Chaoxuan Decoration Company was expanding its business quite quickly and was indeed short-staffed.
This Saturday, Shen Chao was originally supposed to go on a business trip to meet a very important client, but he canceled it.
A class reunion alone certainly wouldn’t compel Shen Chao to pass up on such an important client, but Yin Daosong told him that if he attended the reunion, he would secure the renovation contract for Haiyun Grand Hotel.
Haiyun Grand Hotel wasn’t built by Haiyun Group itself, but bought two years ago by Xue Xiaochan.
The hotel’s decor had almost hit the ten-year mark.
Although it still looked extravagant, the facilities were somewhat outdated.
Xue Xiaochan had a plan to renovate.
That plan was proposed by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng wanted to adjust the hotel’s feng shui, to change Xue Xiaochan’s luck, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to secure the plot of land at Moon Lake!
The renovation of Haiyun Grand Hotel, although not a complete overhaul, involved replacing some outdated equipment and changing some of the design in places.
But the total budget was nearly two to three billion yuan.
A two to three billion yuan project, even if the profit was modest, would mean a profit of twenty to thirty million yuan!
Chaoxuan Decoration Company had been established for three years, and Shen Chao had worked tirelessly, but the total earnings hadn’t yet reached five million yuan.
This one contract could earn him twenty to thirty million yuan.
If he secured it, it would be like earning the next ten years’ worth of income in one go!
So, Shen Chao made up his mind that he would spare no effort to win over Yin Daosong through the class reunion.
It was precisely because Shen Chao considered the Haiyun Grand Hotel contract almost a sure thing that he dared to promise Qin Feng an annual salary of four to five hundred thousand.
Qin Feng clinked glasses with Shen Chao again and tactfully refused, "Thanks, old classmate, but I’m quite happy with my job at the current company."
"Brother, I won’t beat around the bush. Let’s cut to the chase. Yin Daosong is the sales director of Haiyun Grand Hotel. He mentioned that the hotel needs renovation, with a budget of about two to three billion yuan. This project, Yin Daosong has promised to give it to me.
You were my best friend in college, and I trust you completely. So, I was thinking, we could make money together. Of course, I also genuinely hope that you can help me. When I’m not available, you could maintain the relationship with Haiyun Grand Hotel. After all, Yin Daosong is our old classmate, dealing with him will be much easier for you than for me to hire some outsider to do it!"
Even though Yin Daosong had held a grudge against Qin Feng since their university days,
he was very calculated and never showed it.
Every time he faced Qin Feng, he would smile and speak kindly.
On the surface, his relationship with Qin Feng wasn’t bad.
After graduation, Qin Feng had never had dealings with Yin Daosong, nor had any bad influence on him.
In fact, Qin Feng didn’t even know that Yin Daosong harbored resentment against him.
"Thanks for your kind offer, old classmate, but I’m quite satisfied with my current job and don’t want to quit."
Qin Feng still declined.
