Chapter 563 - 212: This President Su Is Most Likely the Founder of New Era!
Su Zelin willing to drink this glass of wine means the problem is solved.
The ruffian said again, "I don’t mind having a few drinks, but my friends might not be so good at it. What do you suggest?"
"No problem, the ladies can have soft drinks!"
Zhang Yuanhang only cared whether Su Zelin would drink or not; his female companion didn’t matter.
At that moment, he brought over two bottles of Moutai and poured some for Su Zelin.
"President Su, I toast to you, hope you can support us more in the future!"
Zhang Yuanhang clinked glasses with Su Zelin, lifting his cup a bit higher to show respect.
"I wouldn’t dare to say support, we are all working hard to make the company better together!"
"Exactly, I hope New Era gets better every day, so our franchise stores can earn more money too!"
Following Zhang Yuanhang, Sister Ru also raised her glass with a big smile, "President Su, I also toast to you, you can take it easy!"
Despite her words, Su Zelin certainly couldn’t take it easy, and drank it all in one go.
After sitting in the private room for a while, Zhou Yuan and the other three couldn’t sit still.
Although they hung out in drinking circles all the time and had quite the tolerance, chugging hard liquor like that was really tough to handle.
They each excused themselves to the restroom, and once inside, they gagged and puked everything out, even getting rid of the bile, and returned to the room looking like wilted eggplants.
Watching the presumed lackey who took the spotlight while the young masters were bluffed into chugging Moutai, Tao Min was indeed opened up to something new.
The junior is impressive!
The backgrounds of these people must be significant if they can swallow their pride like this!
However, there was a hidden sense of satisfaction.
These sponsors are indeed a bit too much, arrogant while having others accompany them drinking.
The happiest of all was Huang Panpan. Watching Su Zelin get mocked by Zhou Yuan and the others earlier, she was fuming; now she felt instantly soothed.
During the banquet, Zhang Yuanhang’s phone rang, and it was a call from his father.
"Yuanhang, where are you? Director Huang from the government hospitality office is having dinner with some bosses; you should come over and meet them."
Taste Residence was nominally owned by Sister Ru, but Zhang Baisheng was the actual investor. For important officials or wealthy customers dining, he would occasionally make an appearance.
Zhang Yuanhang thought for a moment and walked out of the room, "Dad, I’ll be a bit late. The New Era’s COO, President Su, is here. Something just happened, Zhou Yuan and those guys accidentally offended him, but luckily I’ve managed it!"
"Su Zelin?"
Zhang Baisheng was slightly moved.
He had heard of the core figures of New Era.
Besides Yang Fen and Kang Baohong, this college student was also someone significant.
In fact, before Yang Fen showed up, the finance academy store was set up by him and the general manager.
He always thought this person was not simple.
A university student sitting in such a high position as COO could not be explained solely by outstanding ability.
Zhang Yuanhang nodded, "Yes, that’s him, a veteran of the finance academy store, was the manager of the first store there, and got promoted to headquarters as COO this term, it’s like a rocket ride. But this guy is truly capable, very sophisticated in speaking and doing things, not at all like a young guy! Compared to him, Zhou Yuan and those guys are just brainless fools!"
Zhang Baisheng pondered for a moment, "Tell him that I’ll come over and sit for a while later."
"Hmm, got it."
"..."
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Baisheng appeared in Su Zelin’s private room.
"Director Zhang!"
Zhou Yuan and the others got nervous as soon as they saw Zhang Baisheng.
Even Tao Min and her fellow three female university students, knowing Zhang Baisheng’s identity from their address, got apprehensive.
This was a director-level leader. When would they ever have a chance to dine with someone of this stature!
Only Su Zelin remained calm.
In his past life, in his social circle, he could randomly find a few people with higher status than Zhang Baisheng, even some at the National level.
"Pardon me for coming suddenly, hope I’m not interrupting your meal?"
Zhang Baisheng chuckled.
Everyone quickly exchanged courteous words, but Zhou Yuan and the others knew that Zhang Baisheng was here for Su Zelin.
If they were dining at Taste Residence, they couldn’t invite Zhang Baisheng to show up personally.
Sure enough, Zhang Baisheng’s gaze quickly landed on Su Zelin, and after a slight appraisal, his face revealed surprise.
He knew Su Zelin was young.
However, this college student had a composure differing from ordinary people, starkly contrasting with the crowd.
At first glance, there was a strong sense of standing out from the flock.
He was an old fox, usually dealing with top figures in Lin’an, his eyesight was keen, sometimes even able to gauge a person’s worth at a glance.
This kind of calm and mountain-like demeanor usually only appears in big leaders or big bosses; Zhang Baisheng had never seen such in someone as young as Su Zelin.
He strode over to the ruffian, proactively reaching out his hand, "This must be the young and promising President Su of New Era, my son has mentioned you. Surely, seeing is believing!"
Su Zelin stood up, shook his hand gently, his voice steady, "Director Zhang, you’re being too kind, just making a living, you can call me Xiaosu."
"President Su is too modest. Since the finance academy store, you’ve been with New Era, making great contributions, your skills surpass my son’s by far. As an outstanding emerging enterprise, New Era’s rise in Lin’an is like the emergence of a comet. I’d love to hear more about its growth story and chat with President Su!"
Saying this, Zhang Baisheng glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Tao Min.
"Director Zhang, please have a seat here!"
