Chapter 654: Share Your Opinions
On the second-floor terrace of the Ou family, after Li Chuyue told Ou Jinghuan's mother about the gift she had prepared for her, Ou Jinghuan's mother expressed her satisfaction.
Li Chuyue, Ou Jinghuan's mother and Xu Zhishan stood together and had a pleasant conversation. Feeling a touch of affection from Ou Jinghuan's mother, she gradually became less nervous.
Afterwards, they walked towards the bustling banquet hall while chatting like sisters.
……
On the other side, in one of the viewing rooms on the third floor of the Ou family’s house, four people stood face to face in front of Ou Jinghuan, not daring to move.
They were made nervous by the silence in the room and held their breath unconsciously.
The voices in their hearts were mixed, some expressing doubt, some fear, and some feeling confused.
When they were about to feel suffocated and couldn't help but want to breathe in big gulps of fresh air, Ou Jinghuan finally spoke.
Ou Jinghuan stared at Mr. Niu and the others for a while, then lowered his eyes and suppressed the murderous intent that flashed across his eyes.
He was no longer silent. In a low and magnetic voice, he said in a light tone:
"Are you... familiar with Cheng Kangrui, the current president of Honglan Group?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Niu frowned slightly. He couldn't guess why Ou Jinghuan asked him to go upstairs, so he didn't reply in a hurry.
He lowered his head and fell into deep thought, wondering if there was any conflict between Cheng Kangrui and Ou Jinghuan that he had not discovered before.
On the side, the other two big leaders from the two companies who were invited upstairs had not yet realized that there was a beheading knife hidden under Ou Jinghuan's questions.
Among them, a relatively young general manager, without even thinking, replied:
"My company has been cooperating with Honglan Group for many years, and I have been working with Mr. Cheng for many years, so we must be very familiar with each other."
Another older company general manager thought for a moment before answering.
Then, unaware of the danger, he replied in a relaxed tone:
"I have been coordinating work with Dong Nanqing, the former director of Honglan Group, and only recently started cooperating with Mr. Cheng.
However, Lao Cheng and I knew each other before, so we can be considered old friends."
After the general manager finished speaking, the two general managers looked at General Niu who had not responded yet.
Ou Jinghuan also looked quietly at Mr. Niu, who had not yet reached a conclusion and did not dare to speak.
Just now, while the two general managers were answering questions, Mr. Niu was observing the changes in Ou Jinghuan's expression as he sat on the sofa.
He wanted to know from Ou Jinghuan's micro-expressions when the two responded that he wanted them to get acquainted with Cheng Kangrui or not.
However, no matter how he looked, he could not see any answer to his question from Ou Jinghuan's expressionless face.
Therefore, Mr. Niu, who knew that Ou Jinghuan would not ask him to go upstairs for no reason, felt scared and did not dare to speak for a while.
"Mr. Niu, what about you?"
Suddenly, when Mr. Niu was in a dilemma and at a loss, Ou Jinghuan, who had no patience with them, asked.
Hearing this, Mr. Niu raised his head and gave Ou Jinghuan an awkward smile.
Then, he replied with a smile in a particularly ambiguous way:
“You can say you’re familiar with it, or you can say you’re not familiar with it.
Hahaha, after all, we are in a mutually beneficial partnership, so we can’t really say we are that familiar with each other! ”
It seemed that there was no loophole in Mr. Niu's words that Ou Jinghuan could grasp, and it was the same as if he hadn't said anything.
In particular, when he spoke later, he also considered Cheng Kangrui, the only one who was not invited upstairs by Ou Jinghuan.
So, he answered Ou Jinghuan's question with words that he was not very familiar with.
At this time, Mr. Niu's ambiguous answer made the two general managers beside him discover something unusual.
Because, among them, the person who is most familiar with Cheng Kangrui is none other than Mr. Niu.
Just now, the person who had the most pleasant conversation with Cheng Kangrui and took him up the less crowded stairs on his first visit to the Ou family’s birthday party was Mr. Niu.
So, when they saw Mr. Niu, who was most familiar with Cheng Kangrui, pretending not to be familiar with him, they realized something belatedly.
At this moment, the look they gave Ou Jinghuan was full of uncertainty and fear of unknown danger.
After answering the question, Mr. Niu was still not relieved and looked at Ou Jinghuan nervously.
At this time, Ou Jinghuan was also looking at the old fox in front of him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an evil sneer.
He had already known all the information about the people in front of him through Ying's intelligence, and he knew that Mr. Niu was lying.
However, he did not rush to expose Mr. Niu's lies. Instead, he returned to his expressionless face and continued to ask:
"Do you know Li Chuyue, the vice president of Honglan Group? What do you think of her?"
"..."
After Ou Jinghuan finished speaking, a while passed but no one answered.
The room fell into silence again, and this time the people sitting opposite Ou Jinghuan did not dare to speak.
This time, the two general managers learned their lesson. They were not in a hurry to answer and wanted to wait until others finished speaking before speaking.
In particular, the person Ou Jinghuan was asking about was Li Chuyue, whom they had just spoken ill of, which made them even more afraid to speak.
Ou Jinghuan knew that these people didn't dare to speak casually now, so he had anticipated this and said in a relaxed tone:
"It's okay, it's just my people who happened to hear you talking about Li Chuyue, the vice president of Honglan Group.
You should also know that Hongxin Group and Honglan Group are preparing to cooperate recently.
As the president of Hongxin Group, I need to understand some things clearly before deciding whether to proceed with the next cooperation plan.
So I wanted to ask what you were talking about just now, and what you think of the vice president of Honglan Group."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Niu and others looked thoughtful. They were thinking about the credibility of Ou Jinghuan's words.
But they could no longer remain silent, and in the end they could only believe what Ou Jinghuan said.
After all, they had no idea that Li Chuyue, whom they had just slandered with a smile, was the girlfriend of the rumored abstinent Ou Jinghuan.
So, the young general manager spoke first, but this time he cunningly brought Mr. Niu into the conversation and said:
"That vice president is the daughter of Mr. Li from Honglan Group, and she's also a female college student.
In terms of work experience, that girl is definitely not as capable as Mr. Cheng, who is an acquaintance of Mr. Niu.
And according to what Mr. Cheng just said, the vice president has a mental illness, and I'm not sure if he's qualified for the job."
Another general manager also pulled Mr. Niu, who wanted to reduce his presence, and said:
"Mr. Niu just now feels the same as us. He thinks this is a psychological problem, or at least a mental illness.
But when it gets older, it can be said to be a mental illness. You may go crazy at any time and anywhere, which will definitely affect your work to some extent.
But it is not impossible for Mr. Ou to cooperate with Honglan Group, but you have to carefully consider whether to use Vice President Li.
Mr. Niu, don’t you agree?
Mr. Niu, who originally wanted to continue observing the other person's words and expressions, heard two people on the side calling his name and finally asking him to take over.
This made him break out in a cold sweat and look extremely panicked.
He thought that these two people were too stingy, and he was just being more tactful and smarter than them.
He hadn't expected that they would hold a grudge against him like this. This made it impossible for him to answer the question vaguely.
So, Mr. Niu glanced at Ou Jinghuan's expression, and after seeing that Ou Jinghuan was just lowering his head and listening carefully, and was not angry.
He could only bite the bullet and follow the general manager's words and said:
"Yes, Vice President Li, regardless of his work experience or...or rather, his various qualifications, are not suitable for cooperation.
But Mr. Cheng from Honglan Group is different. Mr. Ou, you will definitely feel more at ease working with Mr. Cheng."
As soon as Mr. Niu finished speaking, the female secretary standing next to him thought about how she had just been scolded by the friend of Vice President Li who was being talked about.
Although she didn't know Vice President Li Chuyue, she was still angry about what happened just now and didn't want the person who scolded her or that person's friends to have a bad day.
So, she continued Mr. Niu's words and complained directly:
"He's already mentally ill, and he's still acting as vice president. It's a joke.
If I were her secretary, I would definitely worry that the vice president would go crazy one day and would be scared to death!
Moreover, her friends are a bunch of ignorant and outspoken losers who can easily offend us leaders.
If you, Mr. Ou, cooperate with that vice president, I'm afraid you'll be called a fly by her friends!"
