Chapter 196 Getting to Know the Wen Brothers
Next, the two engaged in a series of discussions about the "Zhao Group," with the topics increasing and the atmosphere gradually becoming more harmonious.
As their conversation deepened, they discovered that they shared many common views and opinions, and before they knew it, they found themselves getting along very well.
The car slowly came to a stop in front of Zhao Yuan's exquisite little villa. Zhou Jie pushed open the door, got out, and walked briskly back home.
At this point, the matter seems to have come to a satisfactory conclusion.
However, no one expected that the story would take a new turn the next morning, just as the sun was rising.
Zhao Yuan originally planned to walk the streets and alleys of Shanghai with Zhou Jiefang again to experience the unique charm of this city.
However, when he gently pushed open the door, he was surprised to find that Wen Haifeng and Wen Haibo were already quietly waiting at the door.
They looked sincere, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Upon seeing Zhao Yuan and Zhou Jiefang emerge from the room, the Wen brothers immediately hurried forward to greet them.
The eldest brother, Wen Haifeng, spoke first:
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhou, my brother and I have come here today to express our deepest gratitude to you both. Yesterday, my sister was so lucky to have met such kind and upright people as you two. Knowing that you are both from the capital, we were afraid that you had already returned to your hometown, so we came early to express our thanks."
As he spoke, Wen Haifeng turned and walked toward the parked car, and began to move the gifts one by one toward Zhao Yuan's home.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly reached out to stop him, saying:
"Brother Wen, there's really no need to be so polite. It was just a small favor for us."
However, Wen Haifeng firmly shook his head, indicating that he could not accept Zhao Yuan's refusal.
“Absolutely not! You two saved my sister’s life. How can we not repay such a great kindness? We hope Boss Zhao will not refuse our heartfelt offer,” Wen Haifeng said earnestly.
"No need, it's just a small favor."
Zhao Yuan smiled and waved his hand. His gaze was clear and sincere, as if this matter was indeed insignificant to him.
However, Wen Haifeng responded with a solemn expression:
"You can't say that! It might be just a small favor for you and your company, but for our Wen family, it's an absolute lifesaver! We absolutely must repay this kindness. And you don't know, do you? We're native Shanghainese! We recently heard that your 'Zhao Group' is planning to expand its business in Shanghai. Perhaps my brother and I can lend you a hand in some way!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but show interest. He nodded and began to introduce himself:
“Oh, I see! That’s wonderful! My name is Zhao Yuan, and I’m 33 years old. This is Zhou Jiefang, my good partner, who is 29 years old and currently serves as the vice president of the Zhao Group. As you said, we are new here and really need the help of friends like you two who are familiar with the local situation!”
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan took a step forward and extended his right hand to the Wen brothers, expressing his friendliness and expectation of cooperation.
Upon seeing this, Wen Haifeng quickly stepped forward, firmly grasped Zhao Yuan's outstretched hand, and smiled warmly. He secretly pondered how to live up to the other party's trust and truly provide them with valuable assistance.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao! Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
Wen Haifeng greeted him with a broad smile, bowed slightly, and then introduced himself:
"My name is Wen Haifeng, and I am 30 years old. This is my younger brother, Wen Haibo, who is 26 years old."
Then, Wen Haifeng continued:
"I run a small construction company called 'Minghua Construction and Decoration Company.' It's a great honor to meet Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou today! I heard that when my younger sister was in danger, you two came to her rescue, and our whole family will always remember this kindness. That's why we specially chose 'Zhao's Kitchen' to host a banquet and treat you both to express our gratitude. We hope that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou can grace us with their presence!"
Hearing Wen Haifeng's enthusiastic words, Zhao Yuan responded with a smile:
"Haha, I see. Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Wen! However, we originally planned to take a stroll around Shanghai this morning. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Wen, would you be willing to act as our guide?"
Zhao Yuan knew in his heart that he had always wanted to find a native of Shanghai to be his guide.
Although Zhao Xiaoqing and Xiao Haowen are also from Shanghai, their understanding of the city is certainly not as deep as that of someone like Wen Haifeng, whose ancestors have lived here for generations.
So when Wen Haifeng brought up the matter, Zhao Yuan didn't hesitate to express his thoughts.
"Then we two brothers are undoubtedly the best guides in Shanghai!"
Wen Haifeng said excitedly with a big smile on his face.
Zhao Yuan, standing to the side, frowned slightly and asked with some concern:
"Wouldn't this disrupt your company's affairs?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Haifeng quickly waved his hand, offering words of comfort:
"Don't worry, it won't have any impact! I'll show you two around Shanghai. My brother, Wen Haibo, will go back to the company to take care of some things. Around noon, we'll head to 'Zhao's Kitchen' for a delicious meal. This time, it's on me!"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Haifeng casually tossed the car keys in his hand to Wen Haibo.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude:
"Oh, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wen. Let's set off now!"
So the three of them got into Zhao Yuan's car.
It must be said that Wen Haifeng, as a native of Beijing, knows Shanghai very well.
Along the way, he talked incessantly to Zhao Yuan and Zhou Jiefang about every detail of the city, from its history and culture to its local customs, as well as its various attractions and food streets.
Under Wen Haifeng's guidance, they not only appreciated the unique charm of Shanghai, but also unexpectedly discovered three beautiful villas.
These villas have a unique architectural style and a quiet and pleasant environment.
Two of the buildings are right next to each other, as if they were tailor-made for the expansion of "Zhao's Kitchen".
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan made a decisive decision without hesitation to acquire all three villas.
Such a generous and magnanimous act left Wen Haifeng speechless.
