Shen Xi's nervousness was not without reason. Lan Bing rarely discussed matters in her own office. Those who could enter the CEO's office were either rich or respectable. If President Lan personally stood up to greet them, their relationship would obviously be even more special.
Shen Xi also stood up and secretly sized up the intruder. Then, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. This was because Ding Meng was not ugly except for his slightly short stature. On the contrary, there was a hint of handsomeness between his eyebrows. Ding Meng's appearance was the type that was easy to look at. At first glance, he did not look like much, but after a closer look, one would find that this person had a very good temperament.
Of course, this temperament was not the same as before. Instead, it had a kind of restrained sharpness that made people not dare to underestimate him.
Ding Meng's first words made Shen Xi even more nervous. "Oh, the environment here is so good. There are flowers and grass, the scenery is pleasant, and the air is much better …"
Shen Xi asked cautiously, "President Lan, may I ask who this gentleman is?"
Lan Bing had an idea. "President Shen, this is my secretary, Ding Meng. He has just been appointed. He is in charge of energy minerals."
"Oh, it's Secretary Ding!" Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you!"
Ding Meng was confused, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, he could only shake hands.
Lan Bing smiled and said, "Ding Meng, Mr. Shen Xi is the deputy general manager of the Jinling Group. He is responsible for supplying all kinds of rare metals such as superconducting ores for the Blue Moon branch. President Shen specially invited us to lunch at the Galaxy Dynasty to thank our group. You happen to be in charge of this area, but I have something to do at noon, so you can go on my behalf."
"Oh?"
When he heard that it was a big meal, Ding Meng's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of coldness. Damn it, how long has it been since I last ate?
The last time was at the Galaxy Dynasty. Before he could eat a few bowls of duck meat, he was interrupted by that guy surnamed Zhong. Today, as soon as he came back, there was such a good opportunity. Ding Meng agreed without hesitation. "Okay, okay, okay, President Lan, I will go right away!"
Lan Bing's lips curled into a smile. She knew all too well what these men were thinking, including Ding Meng.
Ding Meng was a glutton, and Shen Xi was a pervert. These two people would definitely hit it off. This was because Shen Xi's current thoughts were completely within Lan Bing's expectations. He had bitterly pursued Lan Bing to no avail, and it wasn't good for him to invite Yu Lingwei. After all, Big Secretary Yu was also a woman. If this news were to spread, it wouldn't be good for him. Now that a male secretary had suddenly appeared, there was finally a breakthrough.
"Secretary Ding, please!
Please! "Shen Xi extended his hand enthusiastically.
Ding Meng's attitude became even more humble when he saw that someone was treating him to a big meal. "Mr. Shen, you first!"
Last time at the Galaxy Dynasty Hotel, it was the Transit String who took the initiative to invite them. With Shen Xi's identity, he definitely couldn't book a table on the top floor. Therefore, the two of them came to the 28th floor. This floor was also a specialty restaurant. It was a kind of large two-person booth that was custom-made for couples. Therefore, when Ding Meng and Shen Xi came in, they attracted a lot of strange gazes.
Other people came to eat with their arms around each other's shoulders. This pair was different. They actually came together with two grown men. This relationship was a bit of a headache.
Shen Xi felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at. His face was red and he didn't dare to look around. However, Ding Meng didn't care at all. As long as there was something to eat, let alone a couple's theme restaurant, even if it was in the toilet, he could still taste the "delicious" taste.
"Hello, sir. Welcome to the Galaxy Dynasty. What would you like to order?" The beautiful waiter was polite.
Shen Xi pointed to the crystal projector on the table. "Secretary Ding, please!"
Ding Meng's mouth was watering as he looked at the gourmet images simulated by the crystal projector. There were truly all kinds of things. He could only see his finger rapidly tapping on the hologram:
"Seba barbecue?
Give me ten plates. "
"What is this?
Spiny yak steak?
Okay, give me five plates. "
"Sacred Tiger Sun Palm?
Damn, oh, it turns out to be a grilled bear paw. I thought it was a martial arts technique.
Then give me ten. "
"Soaring Bull?
What the hell was this?
Then give me six plates. "
"Hehe, there are also braised chicken wings here. Give me fifty pairs …"
…
He ordered seventy to eighty dishes in one breath. Shen Xi, who was sitting opposite him, was already stunned. "Ding … Secretary Ding … Did we order too much?
It's a waste if we can't finish it. "
Ding Meng slapped his forehead. "Oh, sorry, President Shen. I only ordered for myself and forgot about you. Come, you treat!"
Shen Xi looked at him as if he was looking at a monster. "Ding … Secretary Ding, are you an origin ability user?"
"Oh, I'm just so-so!"
Ding Meng tried to be as humble as possible. In fact, he didn't know that there were many rules when dining in these high-class restaurants. Everyone knew that origin ability users who were above the warrior level didn't need to eat. For example, the warlords and warlords who came here were just there to go through the motions and taste the food.
Those who really needed to eat, and those who had a huge appetite, were the pure beginner and intermediate origin ability users.
Ding Meng's answer gave Shen Xi the illusion that Ding Meng was a beginner origin ability user.
Then, this "beginner origin ability user" opened President Shen's eyes. All kinds of "meat" that Ding Meng ordered were served like flowing water. He didn't even need to use a knife and fork. He just casually picked up a large plate and shook it. The steak and barbecued meat on the plate disappeared. Looking at Ding Meng, he didn't seem to have even moved his mouth. As for how he ate, President Shen felt that his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see clearly.
Seventy to eighty dishes were finished in less than five minutes. Even the waitress stood there with her mouth wide open. She was completely stunned.
"Huh?
What's with your expressions? "Ding Meng was a little puzzled." President Shen, why are you in a daze?
Eat something. "
Shen Xi's voice trembled a little. "Ding … Secretary Ding, do you want to order more? I guess you're not full yet."
Full?
Ding Meng now felt like he had only eaten a few sesame seeds. He was still thousands of miles away from being full. However, these sesame seeds were indeed delicious.
"How can I accept this? How can I accept this?
I'm sorry to have made President Shen spend so much money … "Ding Meng said that he was sorry, but his fingers began to randomly poke at the menu again.
This time, he ordered more than two hundred servings of the same dishes. The waitress' speed of collecting the plates was not as fast as his eating speed. In less than ten minutes, the table was empty again!
From beginning to end, Shen Xi had only ordered a steak, a plate of salad, and a plate of fruit in front of him. Moreover, he hadn't touched any of them.
Shen Xi looked at Ding Meng. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Ding … Secretary Ding!"
Ding Meng was also a little embarrassed by his stare. The cheapest Xiba barbecue here was more than 1000 star coins per plate. After this meal, Tie Tie had already eaten up at least 1 million star coins. If she continued to order, Boss Shen might start to doubt his life after being eaten so much.
"Ahem!
I'm sorry, President Shen. I've made you spend so much money! "Ding Meng hurriedly laughed.
Shen Xi was also puzzled. How did a good job of picking up girls turn into this?
Of course, he didn't lack money. What he cared about was Lan Bing. What did President Lan like to do?
What were her hobbies?
Where did she like to go after work?
Unfortunately, Secretary Ding could only answer with "Mm, mm, ah, ah," but his mouth was full. He ordered another fifty plates of spicy pepper chicken. This time, not only did he chew the chicken bones clean, but he also ate the peppers.
"I admire you!" Shen Xi's eyes widened.
"You're too kind!"
Ding Meng pretended to be modest again. He was scared by himself. His stomach was still not half full. If he continued to eat like this, President Shen would probably jump off a building later.
However, if he didn't eat, he could only chat idly. Of course, Lan Bing appointed him as her representative, so he had to deal with the situation. As for the business, he just had to symbolically ask about it.
Jinling Group was different from Rainbow Gold Group. Irene's Rainbow Gold Group had a fixed inventory, which provided all kinds of materials needed by Shenghao Group. Shenghao Group's Blue Moon Branch mainly focused on warframe components, so the demand for materials was very high.
Jinling Group, on the other hand, took the channel route. To put it simply, Jinling Group bought all kinds of strange things from large and slightly smaller companies, studios, teams, vendors, and black markets, and then sold them to Shenghao Group. They were the biggest middlemen. Well, there was no middleman to make a profit.
Shen Xi didn't hide this from Ding Meng. Although Sheng Hao was not the only customer of Jinling Group, Sheng Hao was the biggest customer. Jinling Group could earn about 40 million yuan in profit from Blue Moon Branch every quarter, which was very good among similar companies in Blue Pole Star City.
However, Ding Meng was a little embarrassed. Shen Xi only earned about 10 million yuan a month, while he ate several million yuan for a meal. "Hey, President Shen, you are really generous. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you."
Shen Xi wanted to ask, "Brother, can you help me ask President Lan out for a meal and then watch a movie?" But after thinking about it, he felt that it was too obvious. President Lan's new secretary was a man, so he should make friends with him.
"Hehe, Secretary Ding, you are really straightforward!"
Shen Xi gave him a thumbs up. "Actually, we have a very good cooperation with Shenghao. Speaking of difficulties, it is not that big of a problem. It's just that we made less money this month."
Ding Meng said, "Didn't Shenghao pay you, President Shen?"
"That's not it!"
Shen Xi smiled and waved his hand. "President Lan has a very good reputation. He always pays us in full every time. It's just that this time, on the list of materials provided by Shenghao, there is something called C-class dark matter. The purchase price is the highest. We originally had a trading company that collected it, but there was an accident on the way. In the end, they couldn't transport it back to Blue Pole Star City in time …"
What the hell was C-class dark matter?
Ding Meng remembered that even Xiao Ai's database did not mention this. Of course, he had to pretend to be concerned. "What happened?"
Shen Xi said, "This is a new trading company that takes the route of outer space. It seems that there is a problem with the channel. I don't know if you can ask about it, Secretary Ding?"
He thought that Ding Meng's identity represented Shenghao Group. If Shenghao Group asked about this matter, the trading company would definitely take it seriously!
"That's not a problem. Where is this company?
I will go and have a look! "
Ding Meng's answer was quite straightforward. He thought that after eating a good meal, he would pretend to go to the so-called trading company and then go yo-yo.
Since he was eating for free, he had to have the attitude of eating for free. He could not just turn around and leave after eating for free. He had to find a good reason to leave, right?
