He won 900 million in the lottery.

the company.

Not long after I left, Zhang Jiehui came to my door. He had arranged to meet with Qiuya to discuss things.

After Zhang Jiehui entered, he sat down with a smile. The man in front of him, Mr. Tan, was not old, but his attire was quite charming, much better than the young women he had seen in bars.

Especially her temperament.

I was attracted to her the moment I saw her yesterday.

Zhang Jiehui: "Does President Tan manage the company all by himself?"

Qiuya: "The company is just starting out, so we don't need too many people. Besides, we're an investor, so we don't lack business."

Zhang Jiehui: "That's true. I wonder what Mr. Tan thinks of my bar business?"

Qiuya: "It's a good project, and you don't need much funding. However, company regulations stipulate that if you want to cooperate, you have to follow them."

Zhang Jiehui: "No problem, whatever Mr. Tan wants, I will provide."

Zhang Jiehui's gaze at Qiu Ya became increasingly bold and direct.

Zhang Jiehui: "Mr. Tan, do you have time for lunch? Would you do me the honor of having lunch together?"

Qiuya: "Team Leader Zhang is a client of our company. Our company can reimburse him for lunch at the Chinese restaurant downstairs."

Zhang Jiehui: "What good food is there at the restaurant downstairs? Let's go eat Western food."

Qiuya glared at Zhang Jiehui: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be 60 years old, almost retired. Put away your thoughts."

Zhang Jiehui chuckled shamelessly, "I'll fully cooperate with you in business. Can you promise to have a meal with me? I promise, it's just a simple meal."

Qiuya glanced down at her phone, then looked up at Zhang Jiehui and said, "Noon isn't an option today, how about tonight? But that's on the condition that we get the bar business running smoothly today."

Zhang Jiehui's face lit up with joy: "No problem."

Feng Shui Club.

I just sent a WeChat message to Qiuya.

Chen Sheng: "Let's go, it's lunchtime, I'll treat you to a meal."

I stretched and said, "When you treat us to a meal, it's always stir-fried noodles."

Chen Sheng: "Nonsense, we should be grateful to have anything to eat."

Chen Sheng was a skilled social man, and he was generous with his social interactions, always willing to spend money on entertaining guests, especially when it came to maintaining relationships with superiors.

When eating with acquaintances, two people usually share a meal consisting of two bowls of noodles and a plate of cold dishes.

It still leaves you with no faults.

Before we had even finished our last cup of tea, Chen Sheng answered the phone again. His tone was both respectful and friendly.

Their feelings for each other are extraordinary.

Chen Sheng hung up the phone: "Let's drink a little longer. A leader from the Education Bureau is coming over in a bit. She's my godmother, a very nice person who's been good to me and has helped me a lot."

Me: "Then I have to treat you to lunch today. Don't worry about it, let's go somewhere else."

Chen Sheng: "So sensible!"

ten minutes.

A middle-aged woman entered the room. She had short, ear-length hair, fair skin, and was dressed in a black top and white bottom. She wore a decorative item on her chest, which was just right.

He has a capable demeanor and is very approachable.

"A narrow victory!"

"Sis! This is my friend. We've known each other for many years. She used to work in another city."

Chen Sheng and I stood up and gestured slightly. No matter how familiar we were, she was still a leader. He couldn't have recognized this god-sister just because of a first impression.

"sit."

Chen Sheng then introduced, "Director Zhang from the district education bureau is also like a good older sister to me; she has taken good care of me these past two years."

Director Zhang had already kindly extended his hand to me.

We shook hands briefly: "Shen Tianyi, Director Zhang looks so young."

Director Zhang: "Right? That's what everyone says."

See, this time the compliment finally hit the mark.

Chen Sheng: "It's lunchtime, sis, shall we eat and chat?"

I continued, "Director Zhang, this is our first meeting, so I should at least show my appreciation."

Director Zhang glanced at Chen Sheng, who nodded: "My brother here is a good person. He's back this time and doesn't plan to leave again. We're planning to do something together."

Director Zhang: "Okay, you're all young people, so let's communicate and exchange ideas more often in the future."

See, that's what caution looks like. Without Chen Sheng's repeated guarantees, they probably wouldn't have even attended my dinner party on our first meeting.

Therefore, a leader who can truly make a difference will not easily accept any meal from you.

The leader who's available at your dinner party is probably just after your food and drinks; he's not really that useful.

There are three of us, and we don't need to choose a fancy place for lunch.

Director Zhang was indeed approachable and very classy during the dinner.

Chen Sheng livened up the atmosphere, but they didn't talk much about work. However, they made a new breakthrough about the bar.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Zhang Jiehui was introduced to Chen Sheng by Director Zhang.

Although they both share the surname Zhang, they are not related.

Director Zhang: "Jiehui and I have known each other for a long time. We often ate together when I was the director of the subdistrict office. He is a very capable person."

I nodded: "I don't know much about the bar project. There's a company that's in contact with him. Director Zhang, I heard from Chen Sheng that the previous investor in the bar withdrew his investment for some reason, and that's why they've contacted me now. 100 million isn't a lot, but I'd like to know the specific reasons."

Director Zhang waved his hand and said, "I know all four people behind the bar project. I've verified that this project is feasible. If you have any doubts, I can arrange for the four of them to meet and have a meal together."

Chen Sheng chimed in, "This isn't just my problem; everyone can make money. Tianyi, you should work hard at the company and try your best to make it happen."

I understand. Chen Sheng's shares actually belonged to Director Zhang, or perhaps both of them.

Whether or not it makes money is secondary when it comes to bars. The main thing is that everyone wants to make it happen. It's all about getting something for nothing. If it succeeds, great; if it doesn't, there's no loss.

Me: "Okay, I'll do my best to make this happen."

I've figured it out; Chen Sheng, relying on Director Zhang, has entered another circle.

Chen Sheng also wanted to bring me into this circle.

A circle is a platform.

A platform for networking resources.

In the afternoon, the three of us spent the whole afternoon drinking tea at a feng shui club.

But not a single client came for feng shui consultations.

Me: "How's business lately?"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "We haven't had any clients these past two days. A fourth-tier city is still a fourth-tier city; there are very few people who spend a lot on feng shui."

Me: "How's your livestream traffic generation going?"

Chen Sheng: "It's no use either. The platform is banning accounts in large numbers. Even using employee accounts can't keep up with the banning speed. Moreover, there have been several hundred new live streaming rooms from competitors this month, which has diverted traffic. We can't make much money in a day."

Me: "Have you broken even yet?"

Chen Sheng: "How could it be so fast? You earned 8 yuan in just one month. The renovation of this club will cost more than 40 yuan. It will take more than half a year to break even."

Me: "Wow, earning 8 a month is quite a lot. If you can keep it up, you can earn hundreds of thousands a year."

Chen Sheng: "It's not that simple. This club is finished. It can only hold on for another month at most. However, I've come up with a new model. If it can take off, it might be able to recoup some of the losses."

Me: "How so?"

Chen Sheng designed a donation box model.

For 1980 yuan, you can become a member of the Feng Shui Club and enjoy 5 fortune telling sessions a year, a Feng Shui compass with detailed annotations, a simple Feng Shui course (learn to read Feng Shui in 3 days), and one free Feng Shui class per month.

Additionally, if you can introduce another person to become a member of the Feng Shui Club, you will receive a donation of 980 yuan.

If you can introduce two people to become members of the Feng Shui Club, you will not only receive an additional 980 yuan in donations, but you will also become a core disciple of the Feng Shui Club.

The core disciples of the Feng Shui club enjoy the following benefits: For every member who enters the donation box of the Feng Shui club, the core disciple will receive a donation of 99 yuan. When the number of members of the Feng Shui club exceeds 100, the core disciple will receive a donation of 199 yuan for every member who enters the Feng Shui club.

The members of the feng shui club are the club's main source of customers. As long as they are club members, their fortune telling and disaster relief services will bring income to the club throughout their lives, thus forming a closed loop of income.

……

Isn't this just a pyramid scheme?

Even if we see through each other, we won't say anything, and we can still be good friends.
