The bar echoed with the blurry sound effects of electronic music, the dance floor was filled with people's unrestrained screams, and various lights flashed along with the rhythm of the music and people's screams. Everyone was enjoying the carnival without emotion, but Lu Shanmin, who was standing on the second floor, felt a sense of loneliness for no reason.
Ma Dong walked to Lu Shanmin and said, "People here are lovelorn, sad, and frustrated. This is the perfect place for them to vent their helplessness and unnecessary emotions. Too much work pressure, endless family disputes, or Men and women come to the bar for all kinds of reasons, reasons, and excuses. They come to the bar to vent their long-standing depression, release their dissatisfaction and entanglements, and enjoy a primitive pleasure. Even though they are all a bunch of lunatics at night. , During the day, some of them are well-dressed white-collar workers, and some are diligent and motivated students, but without exception, despite the crazy and lively activities they are having now, in fact they are a group of lonely people."
Lu Shanmin smiled, "Brother Dong knows them very well."
Ma Dong smiled, "I have been in the bar industry for more than ten years, and I have been working here for five years. As a general manager, if he doesn’t even understand his customers, wouldn’t it be in vain?”
"Thank you for the tip."
Ma Dong shook his head, "It's not really a suggestion, I just have a little experience. I think when I first came to work in the bar, I felt as confused as you, and I almost got caught up in all this crazy excitement. Bewitched by the appearance of others, he becomes a person who indulges and loses himself." He said and smiled again, "Actually, time is the best teacher. After a long time and you get used to it, you will find that it is just that. This place is just an amplifier, amplifying people's emotions for a short time. When you get out, Afterwards, when faced with reality, you will return to your original self, as long as you don’t let illusion confuse reality.”
Lu Shanmin nodded, turned to look at the door, and smiled. It seemed that she would not come today.
Zeng Guoqiang sighed, "Grandpa is getting old, and his ambitions, fame and wealth have become dim. I only have one hope, that is, my descendants can live a stable and happy life."
Zeng Yaqian thought for a long time and said calmly, "Uncle, my father, third uncle, aunt, me, and other cousins, each of us has a different definition of happiness. Grandpa, how can you take care of everything?"
Zeng Guoqiang nodded helplessly, "Yes, when I was young, I felt that everything was under my control. But now, looking back, I see that it has long been out of my control." Then he said, "I thought that after working hard all my life, I would enjoy peace and happiness after retirement, but I didn't know that God is very fair. When I was young, I was busy with my career and neglected my family. Now, even if I am old, I have to make up for the missed lessons."
"Ya Qian, this time, you really gave grandpa a huge problem."
Zeng Yaqian looked at the bright moon in the sky calmly and said, "Grandpa, if you are a lobbyist, I am afraid you will be disappointed."
Zeng Guoqiang shook his head, "Hehehe smiled, I just want to talk things over with you and see if I can find the best way to minimize the damage."
Zeng Guoqiang continued, "Wang Shi climbs a mountain every time. Mountain, Vanke's stock price will fall, do you know why?"
Zeng Yaqian said lightly, "Because the shareholders are afraid that he will fall to death, and the market is not confident about his behavior. Every time he goes to climb a mountain, there will be many people. Shareholders objected, believing that this was an irresponsible approach to shareholders. "
He paused and continued, "But he went anyway. I remember during an interview, he said this is what he said to shareholders at that time, I can't lose myself for you. I am myself first, not the chairman."
After a pause, he said "I am Zeng Yaqian first, not the daughter of the chairman of Haohan Group."
Zeng Guoqiang laughed, this granddaughter really looks like himself back then, "Your dad also has his difficulties, compared to your uncle. He is more responsible than his third uncle, and everything he does is more for the sake of the entire Zeng family."
Zeng Yaqian smiled bitterly, "Grandpa no longer has to say good things to him, he is raised outside. Canary, regardless of the feelings of my mother and me, is he also thinking about the Zeng family? I know he will oppose my matter, but he is not for my good, nor for the Zeng family, but for himself. I admit that my matter will indeed affect Haohan Group, but it will not affect it to the point of breaking the bones. As long as the market forgets about it after a while, Haohan Group will still be the original Haohan Group. What Zeng Qingwen is really worried about is that his position is not guaranteed. His first cousin is married to the daughter of the deputy mayor, his first cousin is married to the heir of the Luo Group, and although his second cousin's in-laws have no background, his second cousin's husband has opened a foundry of his own. It can be considered a success. He just regards me as a rare commodity and flirts with the Meng Group. He wants to marry me to Meng Haoran, the eldest son of the Meng Group, so as to get help from the Meng family and secure his position as chairman."
< p>Zeng Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction, "Haha, if he doesn't even have this ambition, I really won't hand over the company to him."Zeng Yaqian looked at her grandfather with no emotion on her face. Instead of worrying, a sense of fighting arose, "So Zeng Qingwen will not give in this time, because I have touched his bottom line."
Zeng Guoqiang did not answer directly, but said calmly, "Standing From your father's point of view, your analysis is very correct. From my grandfather's point of view, I don't want the Zeng family brothers to kill each other. Once your father is at a disadvantage, the Zeng family will inevitably have internal strife. As for the consequences, no one can predict. It's possible that after a battle, one of your dad and your uncle will secure his position." He paused and continued, "Business competition has always been surrounded by wolves. It's also possible that the Haohan Group will be wiped out from now on, but no matter which possibility it is, in the end, In the end, brothers killed each other and turned against each other. This is the last thing that an old man like me wants to see."
Zeng Yaqian frowned, and there was a trace of bitterness in her heart. She could not care about what her father thought, but she could not No regard for grandpa's feelings at all.
Zeng Guoqiang felt a little distressed when he saw his granddaughter with a bitter face. He smiled and said, "Actually, the matter is not without a solution."
Zeng Yaqian looked up at her grandfather, "What can I do?"
"Give him three years to prove that he is worthy of my precious granddaughter. After three years, as long as If he can be so good that your dad can accept him naturally, and if he can be so good that even your uncle and third uncle don't dare to underestimate him, all hidden dangers will no longer exist."
Zeng Yaqian was extremely entangled in her heart. , in fact, this is what she is doing now, but even she herself does not believe how a mountain villager can grow so big in three years that even her uncle and third uncle dare not look down upon them. Who is this uncle? He is a senior executive and major shareholder of Haohan Group, a prominent figure in the East China Sea business world. How could Lu Shanmin reach that point?
"What if he can't reach that level in three years?"
"Then give up on him."
Zeng Yaqian’s face was full of tangles, and her inner struggle was extremely painful. Under the moonlight, her face looked extremely pale.
Zeng Guoqiang looked at his granddaughter distressedly, with an old face pleading, "Ya Qian, even if grandpa begs you."
The bar echoed with the blurry sound effects of electronic music, the dance floor was filled with people's unrestrained screams, and various lights flashed along with the rhythm of the music and people's screams. Everyone was enjoying the carnival without emotion, but Lu Shanmin, who was standing on the second floor, felt a sense of loneliness for no reason.

Zeng Guoqiang chuckled. This granddaughter really looks like himself back then. "Your dad also has his difficulties. Compared with your uncle and third uncle, he is more responsible. Everything he does is more Mostly for the sake of the entire Zeng family."
Zeng Yaqian smiled bitterly, "Grandpa doesn't have to say good things to him anymore. He is raising canaries outside, regardless of my mother's and my feelings. Is it also for the sake of the Zeng family? I know he will oppose me. But he is not doing it for my own good, nor for the Zeng family, but for himself. I admit that my matter will indeed affect the Haohan Group, but it will not affect the bones and muscles, as long as it takes a while. Time and the market have forgotten that Haohan Group will still be the original Haohan Group. What Zeng Qingwen is really worried about is that his position is not guaranteed. His eldest cousin is married to the deputy mayor's daughter, and his eldest cousin is married to the heir of the Luo Group, and his second cousin's in-laws. Although he has no background, his second cousin-in-law opened his own foundry and was quite prosperous. He just regarded me as a rare commodity.Habitable commodity, and the Meng Group are flirting with each other, and they want to marry me to the eldest son of the Meng Group, Meng Haoran, so as to get the help of the Meng family and secure his position as chairman."
Zeng Guoqiang is satisfied. He nodded, "Haha, if he doesn't even have this ambition, I really won't hand over the company to him."
Zeng Yaqian looked at her grandfather, without too much worry on her face. Instead, he felt a fighting spirit, "So Zeng Qingwen will not give in this time, because I have touched his bottom line."
Zeng Guoqiang did not answer directly, but said lightly, "From your father's perspective , your analysis is very correct. From my grandfather's point of view, I don't want the Zeng family brothers to kill each other. Once your father is at a disadvantage, the Zeng family will inevitably have internal strife. As for the consequences, no one can predict it. There may be some After the competition, one of your father and your uncle has secured his position." After a pause, he continued, "Business competition has always been about wolves looking around. It is also possible that the Haohan Group will disappear from the ashes, but no matter which possibility it is, the final result will be brothers. Killing each other and turning against each other, this is the last thing that an old man like me wants to see."
Zeng Yaqian frowned, and there was a hint of bitterness in her heart. She could not care about her father's thoughts, but she could not completely ignore her grandfather.
Zeng Guoqiang felt a little distressed when he saw his granddaughter with a bitter look on his face. He smiled and said, "Actually, the matter is not completely without a solution."
Zeng Yaqian looked up. Grandpa, "What can I do?"
"Give him three years to prove that he is worthy of my precious granddaughter. After three years, as long as he is good enough that your father can accept him naturally." , can be so good that even your uncle and third uncle dare not underestimate him, and all hidden dangers will no longer exist. ”
Zeng Yaqian is extremely conflicted in her heart. In fact, this is what she is doing now, but even she herself does not believe that how can a mountain villager grow up to be so big in three years that her uncle and her third brother can grow up? Even the uncle dare not look down upon him. Who are his uncle and his third uncle? They are the executives and major shareholders of Haohan Group and influential figures in the East China Sea business world. How could Lu Shanmin reach that point?
"Three years later. He can't reach that level."
"Then give up on him."
Zeng Yaqian's face was full of tangles, and her inner struggle was extremely painful. Under the moonlight, her face looked extremely pale.
Zeng Guoqiang looked at his granddaughter distressedly, with a pleading expression on his old face: "Ya Qian, even if I ask you, please"
