Chapter 141 This person is not good
"I understand what Mr. Kong means," Jiang Yiyu nodded with a smile after hearing Nan Xuyu's words, and said, "I will relay this information to Mr. Liu later."
In fact, whether it is Nan Xuyu or Jiang Yiyu, they are just playing a role similar to "messengers". Both sides come with conditions, but the ones who can really make the decision are not them, but the "master" behind them. Therefore, such negotiations are actually very simple, because both sides have little room for maneuver. If it succeeds, it succeeds, and if it fails, it fails. There is no need to argue.
The fortunate thing now is that Miss Park suffered losses in the previous struggle, which made her clearly realize that she could not ascend to the presidential throne relying on her own strength alone. She needed the support of middle-class forces like Congressman Kong.
As for Councillor Kong, he was almost killed before. Although the people who wanted to kill him were those despicable progressives, if there were no factional disputes in the Grand National Party and everyone could unite, he would not be so passive. Therefore, after a setback, Councillor Kong not only made clear his own position, but also began to try his best to win over Miss Park.
It is obvious that Congressman Kong's ambition is to unite the entire Grand National Party into one, so as to firmly control South Korea's political situation.
In this situation, both sides made concessions to a certain extent, which is why the negotiations went so smoothly.
"Then I'll leave everything to Yiyu," Nan Xuyu picked up the wine glass again, gestured to the young man sitting opposite him, and then drank the wine in the glass.
"This is what I should do," Jiang Yiyu hurriedly knelt up, responded, and drank the wine in the glass.
"That's it," Nan Xuyu said casually after putting down the wine glass, and wanted to stand up. However, he was a little fat, so his movements were clumsy. He had been sitting cross-legged on the ground before, and wanted to stand up, but he was not strong enough.
Fortunately, An Rushong had good eyesight. As Nan Xuyu put down his wine glass, he had already stood up. When the other party tried to get up, he immediately went up to help him.
"When you get older, you become useless," Nan Xuyu stood up with the help of An Rusong. He smiled at Jiang Yiyu who had already stood up and said self-deprecatingly, "You young people should take care of your health and don't be as obese as me."
Jiang Yiyu smiled and bowed to him.
"Okay, I still have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first," Nan Xuyu waved his hand and turned to walk towards the door.
In fact, An Rusong could also sense that Nan Xuyu was not very happy about the meeting tonight. Think about it, as the director of the propaganda department of Councillor Kong, his status should be comparable to Liu Rongxia. Even if Miss Park wanted to negotiate, she should arrange for Liu Rongxia to talk with him. This is called equality of status.
But now, Liu Rongxia had no intention of coming at all. The one who actually came to negotiate was his assistant Jiang Yiyu, a young man who was not even thirty years old.
No matter how deep Jiang Yiyu's background is, and no matter what exactly happened to Liu Rongxia, this kind of unequal negotiation is actually disrespectful to Nan Xuyu. To put it more concretely, it is also disrespectful to Councillor Kong. Therefore, it would be strange for Nan Xuyu to feel happy.
Nan Xuyu got up and left. An Rushong naturally couldn't stay, so he followed Nan Xuyu out of the room.
In the corridor, the two "Blue and White Porcelain" women saw the door open and immediately bowed to the three people who walked out of the room. However, Shen Shiling, who had brought An Rushong and the other two here, disappeared.
"Rusong," Nan Xuyu suddenly slowed down when the group was about to reach the elevator door. He took out a card from his pocket, handed it to An Rusong, and said, "You don't have to go back with an old man like me."
After he finished speaking, the group just happened to walk to the door of the elevator. Nan Xuyu stopped and waited for An Rushong to take the card before continuing, "For you young people, this place still has a lot of fun. You can also broaden your horizons here."
His eyes moved to Jiang Yiyu who had been escorting him out. He smiled again and said, "It just so happens that Yiyu is here today. You two young people should get close to each other."
Reaching out and patting An Rusong's shoulder, he finally reminded him jokingly: "Remember, use my card to pay the bill. Don't let Yiyu spend money."
"Okay, Chief, I know what to do," An Rushong bowed and said respectfully.
Nan Xuyu's intention was very clear, that is, to entertain Jiang Yiyu well, but the fat man was too proud of his status to accompany a young man, so he gave this task to An Rusong. Of course, this was also conducive to An Rusong's establishment of a personal relationship with Jiang Yiyu.
Jiang Yiyu just listened to Nan Xuyu's words with a smile on his face, and did not express his opinion from beginning to end. The elevator finally came up and carried the obese Nan Xuyu down. It was not until he saw the number on the elevator door frame jump to minus one that Jiang Yiyu reached out and patted An Rusong on the shoulder, smiling and said, "How is it? It must be hard to work with Director Nan, right?"
Unexpectedly, this guy was so familiar with others. An Rusong smiled bitterly, but said honestly, "It's not bad. Director Nan has a good temper."
"Haha, it's rare that someone would say that Director Nan has a good temper," Jiang Yiyu laughed. "Rusong may not know that in private, Director Nan's nickname is 'An Lushan'."
This guy had been very respectful and courteous in front of Nan Xuyu before, but now that Nan Xuyu had just left, he started to make fun of him for his size and temper. From this point, it can be seen that the young man in front of him was not actually afraid of Nan Xuyu.
Hearing the name "An Lushan" from a Korean, An Rusong still felt it was quite strange. But there was nothing strange about it, after all, there was a book called "History of the Great Joseon Empire" which was used as a textbook in the military academy of the Republic of Korea Army. In this shitty book, An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty under the instigation of Koreans.
Jiang Yiyu could tease Nan Xuyu, but An Rushong could not talk to him, so he just smiled and did not respond.
"However, since Director Nan is willing to spend money today, we should not be too frugal for him," Jiang Yiyu continued, "It just so happens that this is your first time here, so today I will take you to experience what it means to live a life of luxury."
After saying this, this guy didn't even wait for An Rushong to speak. He just put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the left side of the corridor.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten anything just now, and I'm a little hungry." He took two steps outside and said, "Let's go fill our stomachs first. Here we have the most authentic sukiyaki in Seoul, using authentic Kobe beef, and the top-grade beef tenderloin. You will definitely like it. Oh, you don't have to worry about the cost. Director Nan is a senior member here, and his card has no upper limit."
When An Rushong left Qingpu Building, it was already early in the morning of the next day. Jiang Yiyu had originally invited him to stay overnight in the building - there were not only guest rooms, but also beautiful women who could provide overnight services. However, An Rushong eventually refused. It was not because he suddenly became a serious person, but because he did not want to get too close to Jiang Yiyu for the first time.
When it comes to making friends, An Rushong has his own logic. In his opinion, if you want to get closer to someone, just giving gifts, having a few drinks, sleeping with a woman, etc., will not be very effective. You will only make friends who only care about drinking and eating. You may spend money and then be called a fool in the future.
Of course, he himself had never thought of becoming close friends with Jiang Yiyu. That itself was meaningless. After this night's contact, he thought he had figured out the character of this young man.
How should I describe Jiang Yiyu? He is similar to a young man like Liu Taihe. He has an arrogant air that makes him look down on others. The only difference between him and Liu Taihe is that his personality is not so flamboyant or arrogant. He knows how to control his likes and dislikes and will not show them off in front of others.
In addition, this young man seemed to have a cynical attitude towards life. When he was in front of others, he behaved politely and gently, but behind their backs, he liked to make fun of certain defects in others. This was not only true when he was targeting Nan Xuyu.
For example, when the two of them were having dinner, they mentioned Li Minbo inadvertently. When Jiang Yiyu evaluated him, he specifically mentioned his eyes. According to him, whether it was the Zheng family chaebol or the Li family chaebol, they should not trust this guy with small eyes.
When he described Li Minbo, he even used a Chinese idiom: "Eagle-like eyes and wolf-like gaze."
In An Rushong's opinion, people like Jiang Yiyu, who like to talk nonsense behind other people's backs and speak without restraint, usually don't go far on the road to power, because his mouth will bring him countless enemies.
Furthermore, people like him who don't keep their mouths shut are often simple-minded, because he tells those words to everyone. This behavior itself means that he lacks vigilance and has no sense of boundaries when interacting with others.
In short, in An Rushong's eyes, Jiang Yiyu is not worth much.
Of course, low value does not mean that there is no need to make friends with him. Apart from anything else, at least his background and connections are very strong. At some point in the future, you may be able to use this guy as a tool.
People do need friends, but they also need some props to use.
