Chapter 597 Chance Encounter
Cui Changjia sighed and said, “Why are you so angry? How are we going to work in the future if we can’t manage the relationship in the branch office? If someone comes along and doesn’t have any sense, do we have to look for the people above us? The leaders above us will definitely say that we have such a bad relationship.”

Zhou Qingyan had indeed encountered the situation Cui Changjia described. He frowned and said, “I’ll ask Huang Dali to go with you tonight.”

“Just call me Aze. He will take over these stores sooner or later, and he will be the one to maintain the relationships.”

Zhou Qingyan said, “I’ll call Liu Minjian and tell him to stop hanging around in the state capital if he dares to let you drink at night.”

Cui Changjia did not refuse. Liu Minjian looked at her with ulterior motives, so it would be better to let Zhou Qingyan say hello.

Soon Liu Minjian called and told Cui Changjia the number of people. Cui Changjia found the reservation number of Ruihe Hotel and booked a room. He also asked General Manager Yao to find two people who could drive in the factory to serve as drivers.

In fact, treating people to meals, drinking, and giving away cards all cost a lot, but there is no other way. How can we build relationships if we don’t have any social connections?
Dong Shuyue wanted to attend the dinner in the evening, but Cui Changjia did not agree to let her go and instead asked her to be the driver.

The little girl is too young. If someone is blind and tells dirty jokes to her, it would be disgusting.

Cui Changjia asked her and the driver to eat in the lobby and pay the bill directly.

Seven people came to the branch office, plus Liu Minjian and Cui Changjia’s siblings, a total of ten people. After pouring a circle of wine, the bottle was empty.

The leader was a director named Xiong Wei, who was also the person who took the lead in issuing the penalty notice. It was said that he did not come at first, but Liu Minjian asked the director to notify him, and then he came.

Xiong Wei was very unhappy to see that Cui Changjia didn’t drink. He raised his eyebrows and asked Cui Changjia to fill the glass.

Liu Minjian was also unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Cui Changjia. She smiled and said, “Director Xiong, I really can’t drink. My colleague is in the hall. I’ll go and call him. Wait, I will definitely accompany you to a good time today!”

Cui Changjia stood up and went out.

She knew why Xiong Wei was unhappy. Someone asked him to do something, but it was intercepted halfway. How could he explain this to others?

Director Xiong folded his arms across his chest and watched Cui Changjia leave coldly.

Liu Minjian whispered, “Director Xiong, she is my classmate, please at least give her some face.”

Director Xiong sneered, “If I didn’t give you face, I wouldn’t come.”

Cui Chengze heard it, and he endured it again and again, and finally he endured it. What else could he do? He had to let him vent his anger.

Cui Changjia came back quickly and brought a young and pretty girl with him. She was the hotel’s public relations officer, who could drink and persuade people.

“Director Xiong, this is my colleague Xiaomi. I really can’t drink. Let Xiaomi drink with me. The girl is young, don’t scare her.”

Xiaomi then said, “Director Xiong, please take care of me.”

The inexperienced and cautious expression finally made Xiong Wei feel a little relieved.

What Cui Changjia wants is this kind of girl who pretends to be a pig but is actually a tiger, who is hard to guard against.

They were halfway through the meal and had drunk a lot of wine. Cui Changjia brought up the issue of the ticket several times, but Xiong Wei just didn’t respond. Cui Changjia endured it again and again, but finally couldn’t bear it anymore and ran out to call Director Wen. When he came back, he saw Xiong Wei answering the phone.

If we don’t talk about the ticket, then what’s the point of her treating us to this meal?
Director Wen called Liu Minjian, but asked Director Xiong to answer the phone. He said that Cui Changjia was his niece and asked him to take care of her in the future.

Director Xiong was still shocked. He was the director of a branch office, and he didn’t even have the chance to go to the General Administration for meetings and see the leaders. The one who treated him to dinner was actually the niece of the head of the General Administration. What was he still arguing about? He thought Cui Changjia only knew Liu Minjian.

After hanging up the phone, Director Xiong no longer had a stern face, but he said to Cui Changjia unhappily, “If I had known that Ms. Cui was Director Wen’s niece, I would have settled it for you a long time ago.”

The implication was that he was dissatisfied with Cui Changjia for not telling him about her relationship with Director Wen.

Cui Changjia didn’t say much, just smiled and said, “Director Xiong, let’s consider this as acquaintance. I will come to you directly if I have any problems in the future.”

Director Xiong patted his chest and said, “You must come to me!”

Cui Changjia saw that the situation was almost settled, so he started to talk business. “Director Xiong, please explain the punishment to the merchant who complained. We really did not engage in unfair competition. Our products are sold at a price higher than the cost price. It is normal for a business to use promotions to attract customers.”

“I’ll tell them tomorrow. If they have any opinions, let them come to me!”

“I feel relieved after hearing what Director Xiong said,” Cui Changjia said with a smile, “If they need to cooperate with the investigation, we will do our best, but if they don’t give up, I have to trouble you to inform me. We have invested millions of dollars in this store, and it is also a project that the government is particularly optimistic about. If it suddenly closes, everyone will be very upset.”

After receiving Director Wen’s call, Director Xiong’s attitude changed immediately. He began to talk seriously about industrial and commercial matters, and the conversation was quite pleasant until the end.

Except for the public relations person, three out of ten people got drunk, which was not too much.

After arranging for them to go back, Cui Changjia went to settle the bill, and when he came out he couldn’t see Dong Shuyue anymore.

Cui Changjia took out his cell phone and called her, only to find out that Cui Chengze was about to vomit and she followed him to the bathroom.

Cui Changjia went over there, but before he even got there, he saw Dong Shuyue next to the bathroom, being stopped by someone and not allowed to leave.

Cui Changjia hurried over, grabbed Dong Shuyue’s arm and was about to leave, but when he saw the man arguing with her, he couldn’t help but be surprised. That man was Chen Zhou!

Chen Zhou saw that Cui Changjia was also stunned, but the next second, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Cui Changjia pulled Dong Qiuyue away from the men’s restroom door and stood in the distance.

Dong Shuyue spat fiercely in the direction Chen Zhou left, cursing, “You bastard, you are so disgusting!”

Cui Changjia patted her arm and said, “Little girl, don’t say bad words. Did he cause trouble for you?”

Dong Shuyue’s eyes darkened. “He wasn’t looking for trouble. He just asked me why I came to the state capital. He saw me supporting Aze and asked who Aze was.”

If Dong Shuyue observed carefully, he would definitely notice the flash of fear in Chen Zhou’s eyes when he saw Cui Changjia!
Cui Changjia said seriously, “He already has a lover. If he wants to get back together with you, you must not be soft-hearted.”

Dong Shuyue sneered, “I’m not that stupid!”

“Stay away from him if you see him next time. He is working in the TV advertising center now. Be careful that he does something bad to us.”

Dong Shuyue’s eyes widened instantly. “He went to work at the TV station? How did you know?”

Cui Changjia took a breath and said, “It’s a long story.” Seeing Cui Chengze had come out, she said quickly, “I’ll tell you when I have time.”
