Each with his own agenda

That evening, in addition to Chen Dong receiving an invitation to a banquet, his good friend Hu Wei also received a rather friendly invitation.

At seven o'clock that evening, around the same time, Hu Wei arrived at a private club that looked very high-end. Although the location was a bit out of the way, the decor was excellent, especially the young ladies inside, each wearing a uniquely styled qipao, which was a feast for the eyes.

It is well known that qipao are quite selective in who can wear them well, but the young ladies here could perfectly carry them off, showing their excellent figures.

The host was Secretary Gu Jianchuan, the president's secretary of Anren Group, a subsidiary of the Shen Corporation.

Secretary Gu Jianchuan enthusiastically invited Hu Wei into a private room, where four tall girls, each around 1.7 meters in height and wearingblue qipao, were standing.

Seeing Hu Wei and Secretary Gu Jianchuan enter, the four of them bowed in unison,

“Welcome, Mr. Hu and Mr. Gu.”

Hu Wei was momentarily stunned. These four beauties, while not all more beautiful than Li Xiaoyu, were all mature and intellectual. In particular, one of them was not only a few points more beautiful than Li Xiaoyu, but her figure was also exceptionally graceful. Hu Wei's gaze lingered on her for several seconds.

With a slight blush, Hu Wei quickly took his seat as guided by Secretary Gu Jianchuan.

Secretary Gu Jianchuan's lips curled slightly upward; everything was under his control.

He sat one seat away from Hu Wei, then motioned for the four beauties to take their seats.

He specifically arranged the beauty Hu Wei had been particularly fond of to sit beside Hu Wei.

Each of the two big men had a beautiful woman on either side.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another, and there was even fine wine like Feitian Moutai. It seemed Secretary Gu Jianchuan had truly gone all out.

Before the dinner even began, Secretary Gu Jianchuan started showering Hu Wei with praise:

“General Manager Hu is truly a dragon among men! At such a young age, he has reached such an important position as a Real Estate President, managing the company in perfect order. Even within our Anren Group, young talents like General Manager Hu are rare.

To be honest with you, our President also holds General Manager Hu in very high regard. He has mentioned General Manager Hu’s name more than once in Anren Group meetings, praising him highly.”

After a few sentences, Hu Wei felt incredibly pleased, with a somewhat elated expression on his face, just like a primary school student praised by name during a principal's meeting, feeling as if his red scarf on his chest had become even more vibrant.

“General Manager Gu, you flatter me. What I do is just small-scale, not worth mentioning, unlike your Anren Group, which is a large enterprise and has been renowned in Jinghai for many years.”

“Anren Group has only reached its current status after many years of development. I believe that with time, General Manager Hu will certainly shine brightly and become a prominent entrepreneur in Jinghai.”

Secretary Gu Jianchuan, going against his conscience, showered Hu Wei with extravagant praise. By the end, he almost believed it himself.

And the young ladies around them, hearing that Hu Wei was so outstanding, looked at him with misty eyes, occasionally sending him a subtle glance.

Even the most beautiful girl enthusiastically served Hu Wei food and poured him wine...

After three rounds of drinks, Hu Wei, for some reason, boldly put his arm around the beautiful girl he liked the most.

She was also very cooperative, leaning against him, pouring him wine and serving him food.

“General Manager Hu, our President Shen said that you are truly underutilized at East Victory Real Estate. I heard that Chen Dong only gives you an annual salary of 1 million, but he gives that woman named Xu Wanying 2 million. I really feel it’s unfair to you.”

“General Manager Gu, you can’t say that. Xu Wanying is indeed capable. I’ve seen the projects she invested in; six or seven of them are already profitable, bringing in 50 to 60 million in profit for the Group every month.”

“That’s also because her investments were large; otherwise, what would it count for? In my opinion, if General Manager Hu were to be the Group’s Vice President, he would do even better than that woman.”

Secretary Gu Jianchuan reached out, across the two girls, and held Hu Wei's hand, saying somewhat incoherently,

“General Manager Hu, why don't you come to our Anren Group? I guarantee I can significantly increase your salary, at least to 3 million!”

“Really? Is that true?” Hearing that his salary could triple, Hu Wei felt his drunkenness subside a bit. He tightly gripped Secretary Gu Jianchuan’s hand,

“General Manager Gu, you wouldn’t be joking with me, would you?”

“How could I be? However, General Manager Hu, you should also know that since you are a senior executive at East Victory, if you suddenly join Anren, Anren’s senior executives will certainly have opinions. Therefore, you need to show some sincerity.”

“Sincerity? What kind of sincerity? Don’t worry, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you.”

Secretary Gu Jianchuan got up from his seat, swayed over to Hu Wei, and leaned down to whisper in his ear.

Hu Wei’s expression was a bit solemn. Although he had drunk a lot of alcohol, he wasn’t completely drunk yet; his basic thinking was still intact.

“General Manager Gu, this matter is neither big nor small. I need to digest it. Can you give me some time?”

“No problem, General Manager Hu. We’ve had a good time today. As for these young ladies, if you fancy anyone, just take her with you. I’ve booked a room for you here.”

Secretary Gu Jianchuan also had a drunken look on his face,

“If General Manager Hu likes them all, it’s fine to take them all.”

“Haha, General Manager Gu thinks too highly of me. I’ll just take Miss Zhang here with me.”

Hu Wei, leaning on the arm of the beautiful Miss Zhang, stumbled into the room Secretary Gu Jianchuan had booked for him. Secretary Gu Jianchuan watched their retreating figures, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Chen Dong, if I can’t beat you, can’t I beat your friend?”

.....

Hu Wei inhaled the fragrant scent, his heart swaying. Leaning his head over, slightly tipsy, he found Zhang Qian even more stunningly beautiful.

After swiping the room card, Zhang Qian laid Hu Wei down on the bed,

“General Manager Hu, I’ll get you some hangover tea.”

“No need, this mineral water will do.” Hu Wei directly picked up the Nongfu Spring bottle from the bedside table, twisted open the cap, and drank more than half of it.

“Then, General Manager Hu, shall I help you take off your clothes so you can get a good night’s sleep?”

“I’ll take a shower first to sober up.”

“General Manager Hu, let me help you scrub your back.”

“Never mind, I prefer to wash alone.”

Hu Wei stumbled towards the bathroom. Zhang Qian quickly pulled out a voice recorder from her bag, turned it on, placed it in the bedside table, and then pulled the drawer out halfway...

Seeing Hu Wei emerge, Zhang Qian’s pretty face flushed,

“General Manager Hu, I’ll go take a shower too.”

“Okay, be quick. I’ll wait for you.” Hu Wei, wearing a bathrobe, watched Zhang Qian enter the bathroom. He immediately turned on his phone’s video recording function and placed it on the TV stand opposite the bed, the lens directly facing the bed,

.......

“General Manager Hu, shall we turn off the lights and go to sleep?” Zhang Qian’s face was flushed as she nestled in Hu Wei’s arms.

If it weren't for their differing stances, this man truly possessed a unique charm.

“Hmm, you sleep first. I’ll go to the restroom and turn off the lights when I come back.”

Hu Wei got up, casually took his phone into the restroom, and checked the video. The quality was quite good, so he could save it to enjoy later, as it was the first major drama he had directed himself.

As soon as Hu Wei left, Zhang Qian quickly took the voice recorder out of the bedside table. After listening to a few sentences, she had already recorded what she wanted. She just needed to take it back, process it, cut out and splice together the parts that were beneficial to her, and then use it as evidence to easily manipulate this young man...
