Chapter 637: A Special Invitation From the Taiwan Merchants Association

On New Year's Day in 1998, there was not much festive atmosphere.

Although the country stipulates that this day is a rest day, there are not many enterprises and institutions that have actually implemented it.

As for the majority of employees, they are not aware of the need to assert their right to rest.

Because of the upsurge of restructuring and layoffs sweeping across the country, it is in full swing.

Everyone is trembling with their jobs in their hands, how can they have the mood to assert their legal rights.

However, the company under Wu Tao's name is not listed here.

So the night before, he made a bet with Shi Qianxue, who would wake up later on the first day of 1998.

Gambling a contract may sound weird at first, but it's really not surprising when it comes out of Shi Qianxue's mouth.

Wu Tao took up the challenge decisively.

In terms of being able to eat and sleep, he firmly believes that his young body is not inferior to Shi Qianxue, who has always claimed to be a sleeping beauty.

I slept until the sun was up, and I pricked up my ears to listen. The head in the house was extraordinarily clean and I could hear needles falling, so much so that the ringing of the phone in the living room was particularly ear-piercing.

Over and over again, there was no answer from outside.

Shi Qianxue must be fast asleep, but Shi Qianmei should still be there, so how could she let the phone keep ringing?

Wu Tao originally planned to ignore it, but after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that his mobile phone was turned off last night because of a bet.

Immediately, he touched the mobile phone beside the bed and quickly turned it on.

Sure enough, the next second, a call came in.

The first one was Lin Yuanshan's call, "Oh, Mr. Wu, your call is really difficult! I've called at least eighty times, and now I'm finally connected."

"I'm sorry, Boss Lin." Wu Tao apologized slightly.

As for Lin Yuanshan, it is impossible to really take it to heart, and immediately said lightly: "It's okay, a person like Mr. Wu must be constantly invited and overwhelmed in today's day."

"...But even if this is the case, I, Lao Lin, still hope that Mr. Wu can come to participate in our Jiangdong Provincial Federation of Taiwanese Businessmen. With Mr. Wu's identity and status, if he can come as a special guest, I think he will definitely let the Federation It will flourish, and it will make my old Lin more face."

"This..." Wu Tao suddenly felt a little tricky.

In his heart, he was somewhat resistant to this kind of social occasion.

However, Lin Yuanshan, as Yuanqi Technology's capable partner, has always been quite powerful.

In addition, because of the problem of the next-generation color screen, the relationship between the two parties is in a slightly sensitive period. If he refuses directly, it will make the other party feel a little bit small.

"Boss Lin, as you know, I'm really too busy on a day like this. No, the province has organized several exchange meetings, and I'm still debating whether to go or not."

After laying the groundwork, Wu Tao suddenly changed the topic, "Well, Mr. Lin, I have to check the schedule. As long as I can get away, I will be there on time! Do you think it will work?"

Although Lin Yuanshan was still a little bit unwilling, but now that the matter has come to this point, it is inconvenient for him to force him, "Okay, Mr. Wu!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it left and right, let's find someone to go there for me. In terms of the relationship with these Taiwanese businessmen, there is really no suitable candidate.

Yang Ge could barely count as half of them.

While thinking about it, the doorbell outside began to ring hastily.

Shi Qianxue still didn't intend to get up to open the door, and this competitive mentality was truly absolute.

Seeing the doorbell and the telephone ringing in the living room alternately, Wu Tao had no choice but to get up and go out, and opened the door.

"Hey, Secretary Pei, why are you here?"

Although it was a holiday, Pei Ying, who came to the door in a hurry, was still dressed professionally. What was different from the past was the eagerness on her pretty face.

"Boss, so you are at home, why can't you get through on the phone?"

"Oh, I just woke up." Wu Tao confessed.

When Pei Ying heard this, she almost vomited blood, "Boss, my phone is about to explode. There are many social gatherings in the province and city today, and you are invited to attend."

Wu Tao stroked his forehead immediately, he didn't expect that the joke that was prevaricating Lin Yuanshan just now would come true in a blink of an eye.

After letting Pei Ying into the house, Wu Tao poured her a glass of water and said, "Tell me about the occasions."

Pei Ying took a sip of water, opened the notebook she carried with her, and counted them out one by one.

When Wu Tao heard it, it was really a lot. There were as many as five or six symposiums, social gatherings, large and small!

And it is more or less official, but the official nature is not too serious, it is the icing on the cake.

In addition, the themes of these meetings are relatively clear.

After Wu Tao thought for a while, he photographed these things to those competent subordinates.

Regarding the discussion on the experience of layoffs and restructuring, Xue Jiaqian has participated in the restructuring process of Beijiang Glass Factory from beginning to end. If she goes to the discussion, she will be more profound than herself.

As for the panel discussion with experts in the financial market, it was Qin Xiaoxiao.

As the general manager of the leading private investment company in Jiangdong Province, Qin Xiaoxiao's qualifications and position are more than enough for this discussion.

In addition, there are also Internet, water and beverage industry exchange meetings, and mobile communication liaison meetings...

At the end of the arrangement, Pei Ying finally felt relieved, raised her head, drank the tea in one gulp and said, "By the way, boss, all these meetings are filmed for other senior leaders, do you have any other important meeting agenda? "

Curious baby, is that what you should be asking?

Wu Tao glanced at Pei Ying, and immediately added: "Yes, for example, the Jiang Dongsheng Friendship Association of Taiwanese businessmen. I'm worried that I don't have the resources to do it. Which one should I go to?"

At this moment, Shi Qianmei came back with a lot of ingredients. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Wu Tao's words, and immediately confirmed: "Xiao Tao, have you also received an invitation from the Taiwanese Business Association?"

It was a coincidence.

Wu Tao nodded.

Shi Qianmei put down the ingredients, walked over and said, "Daddy called me last night to inform me to attend on behalf of the Shi family. This is the first time our Shi family has participated in the Taiwanese Business Association, and I'm really nervous."

Pei Ying stood up and nodded to Shi Qianmei to say hello.

Wu Tao rubbed his neck and said, "I'm also worried about how to reject Lin Yuanshan, it's difficult!"

"In this case, you can go with me. With your support, I can be a bit more courageous. No matter what, as a newcomer, I must not embarrass the Shi family."

Facing Shi Qianmei's expectant face, Wu Tao thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Turning around, he explained to Pei Ying: "If there are any invitations in the future, I will refuse them all, just say that I already have an appointment."

Pei Ying closed the notebook, got up immediately and said, "Then I'll inform the others first."

After seeing off Pei Ying, Wu Tao finished washing and eating the breakfast warmed by Shi Qianmei, only then did he notice that his second cousin hadn't moved.

It's been too long.

So she pushed open the door and saw that Shi Qianxue's sleeping posture, stretched all over, was really horrible.

But one thing is certain, that is, she is really still asleep.

Under the service! Wu Tao closed the door silently, convinced in his heart.
