"Lin Shao, is he your older brother?"
Wu Guotai hurried over to Ye Yun, his expression immediately changing as he put on a smile.
"Young Master Ye, I apologize, I apologize. I didn't recognize you earlier. I, Old Wu, will punish myself with three drinks later! Come, let's go in for a drink!"
As he spoke, Wu Guotai remembered the incident at the door earlier and continued.
"Lin Shao, Young Master Ye, I, Old Wu, didn't know what was happening at the door earlier and was foolish. I offended Young Master Ye. I hope Young Master Ye doesn't mind."
Ye Yun didn't extend his hand, but Wu Guotai proactively grabbed Ye Yun's hand with considerable warmth.
Being a leader at the power supply bureau, he was naturally a shrewd individual.
The respect shown by A Biao and the respect shown by Lin Shiyou were two different things.
Wu Guotai knew very well when to bow his head and when to hold his ground.
"Wu Guotai, be careful with your words in the future! I warn you, you are not the only one in the power supply bureau who can help me! You being the one to find me is just your good luck, there are plenty of people who can replace you!"
"Remember, you only have a few years left before you retire peacefully, don't cause trouble for yourself!"
Lin Shiyou gave Wu Guotai a cold look, showing no deference at all. Then, he pushed open the private room door and said respectfully to Ye Yun.
"Brother Ye, please go first!"
The difference in attitude before and after was like night and day.
This undoubtedly made Wu Guotai even more embarrassed.
Being scolded by someone of his grandson's generation, Wu Guotai must have felt extremely stifled.
But he dared not say anything, because he knew that Lin Shiyou's words were true!
He dared not refute a single word, nor did he dare to show any hint of displeasure.
Because he knew that Lin Shiyou, this foolish son of a landlord, could indeed do anything.
However...
Wu Guotai hardened his heart.
After leaving this bar and going to the power supply bureau, any place that wanted to increase its electricity usage application would require his signature, Wu Guotai.
A local official is better than a distant one.
Without his signature, many things could not be done!
He wouldn't dare to delay the signing openly, but finding two excuses to hold it up for three to five months was quite easy.
"Understood, understood. Young Master Ye, my surname is Wu, and my given name is Guotai. The 'Wu' is 'mouth sky Wu', and 'Guotai' means peace and prosperity."
Wu Guotai was also able to let go and save face. After entering, he kept apologizing to Ye Yun.
But what he didn't know was that the resentment hidden deep in his pupils, which he thought no one could detect, was fully perceived by Ye Yun.
Lin Shiyou was still too young, too hot-headed.
But upon careful consideration, if he wasn't hot-headed, could he still be called young?
If it were Ye Yun himself, in the same age group in his previous life...
He would have been a useless person who only threw his weight around at home, much worse than Lin Shiyou.
"Ye Yun, 'Ye' from 'yezi' (leaf), 'Yun' from 'yunduo' (cloud), General Manager of Yaoke Group." Ye Yun said.
"Ye Yun, what a good name, truly a good name! Just hearing Young Master Ye's name sounds refreshing and elegant, with a touch of soaring grace like parting the clouds to see the blue sky!" Wu Guotai flattered him repeatedly, raising his wine glass to toast. "Young Master Ye and I truly hit it off at first sight. The incident at the door earlier was purely my ignorance, Old Wu, and I beg Young Master Ye not to take it to heart!"
But despite what Wu Guotai said, he sneered inwardly.
Yaoke Group.
So that's why Ye Yun's name sounded so familiar.
So you're the bastard that my nephew has been cursing at all along!
Hmph, let's see how I deal with you later!
"It's just a small matter. We'll have to interact more in the future; there will be many opportunities for cooperation."
Ye Yun smiled and raised his glass.
Although he could see that Wu Guotai had ulterior motives, he remained outwardly calm.
Just as Lin Shiyou said, an old man who was nearing retirement shouldn't push his luck.
To be honest, if Ye Yun really wanted to deal with Wu Guotai, a single phone call would be enough.
Whether it was Wu Xinmin or Wang Weiguo, with just one call from him, this matter could definitely be resolved.
But with those two, Ye Yun was at most in a cooperative state. If he had to rely on them for every little trouble, wouldn't that make Ye Yun seem incompetent?
Wouldn't that make those two look down on Ye Yun?
What is considered a relationship?
It's a relationship when you absolutely refuse to use it unless it's a last resort.
Favors have a limited supply.
As they spoke, Wu Guotai finished a whole bottle of beer. It had to be said, the old man could really drink.
Compared to him, Ye Yun merely took a sip, tasting it lightly.
After drinking, Ye Yun sat back down beside Lin Shiyou.
After finishing his drink, Wu Guotai wiped his mouth and took out a pack of cigarettes.
"Lin Shao, Young Master Ye, have a cigarette."
"Let's talk business first. We have other arrangements tonight," Lin Shiyou refused directly.
This posture immediately made Wu Guotai understand something.
You, kid, are clearly not wanting to have too much interaction with me.
In that case, don't blame me, Old Wu, for turning a blind eye!
Thinking this, Wu Guotai smiled outwardly and said.
"Lin Shao, just tell me what you need. As long as it's all legal and compliant, I, Old Wu, guarantee it'll be no problem!"
After speaking, he put the cigarettes away, as if the previous matter had never happened.
This leader was not only thick-skinned but also quite cunning.
"Alright, then it's settled. Handle things properly, and rest assured, you won't be shortchanged! We have some other matters to attend to, and you are..." Lin Shiyou's words were almost a direct dismissal.
"Lin Shao and Ye Shao, rest assured. As long as the paperwork reaches me, it will definitely be fine!" Wu Guotai said with a smile.
However, what he was thinking was.
I guarantee it'll be fine, but I didn't say how long it would take.
Whether it's three months or six months, you can wait.
With that said, Wu Guotai stood up with a smile, putting his arm around his young girlfriend.
"Young Master Ye, Lin Shao, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your pleasant evening. I'll treat you both to another meal another day!"
With that, he left immediately.
"He's really f***ing thick-skinned, and he still managed to come in!" Lin Shiyou snorted coldly.
"Brother Shi You, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than the minor devils; this kind of person will definitely make things difficult for us if we offend him today," Ye Yun couldn't help but say.
Lin Shiyou chuckled and looked at Ye Yun, saying.
"Brother Ye, you underestimate me then. Don't forget, if my father hadn't paved the way, would he have felt at ease letting me do business in Jinling? You don't actually think this garbage Wu Guotai is my backing, do you? Don't worry, I'll introduce you to my connections tonight!"
Connections?
Ye Yun thought, Wu Guotai was already a leader at the power supply bureau, a rather significant position.
Yet Lin Shiyou still didn't take him seriously.
Then who could be the "connections" that Lin Shiyou referred to?
Ye Yun also knew a little about Lin Shiyou's situation.
This guy came to Jinling to do business on his own, opening a Lamborghini 4S store and starting a construction team to take on projects.
And for these two types of businesses, without one's own connections, it would truly be wishful thinking.
"However, since people are here, we should at least invite some girls to accompany us. I've already found a few university students. I'll call them over right now." Saying that, Lin Shiyou took out his phone.
But at this moment, Lin Shiyou suddenly stopped.
