Chapter 56 Beauty is like wine
The color tones of the small living room are fresh and soft, and the lighting is not strong. The original color wooden boards are very unique as the decoration of the walls, and they have a pastoral atmosphere.
The food is fragrant, and the red wine in the burgundy cup is clear and translucent, exuding an elegant and delicate luster.
Four dishes and one soup were prepared by Chen Hongtao and served on the solid wood dining table. In order to make the smell more mellow and softer when drinking the red wine, the Bordeaux red wine was turned on by Chen Hongtao 1 hour in advance to sober up the wine, so that it oxidizes slightly and releases its fragrance when it comes into contact with the air.
Chen Hongtao and Su Mengling sat opposite each other at the dining table. The sky was getting darker and the fluorescent lights in the small living room were filled with a romantic and warm atmosphere.
The four dishes of fried meat with asparagus, fried shrimp, Kung Pao chicken, and braised elbow are all very delicious. They are paired with a faint aroma of red wine. They are really rich and mellow.
"Hongtao, I didn't realize that you cook so well before!" Seeing Chen Hongtao helping him serve a bowl of rib soup, Su Mengling's pretty face showed a sweet and satisfying smile.
"It's okay." Chen Hongtao rubbed his hands with a stinky smile on his face, raised his Burgundy glass and shook it slightly.
Seeing the bright red viscous wine flowing down evenly and slowly from the wall of the cup, and then smelling the lasting and rich fruit fragrance, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but secretly praise the extraordinaryness of this bottle of Bordeaux red wine in 1982.
"Great chef, thank you for your hard work, continue to keep it in the future!" Su Mengling smiled and raised her crystal wine glass, gently touching the wine glass in Chen Hongtao's hand, revealing the sound of Yue'er's impact.
When the wine enters the mouth, the wine is soft and mellow, and the thickness is moderate. The wine tastes rich, complex and has a long aftertaste.
"Mengling, you graduate in one year. Do you have any plans?" Chen Hongtao asked Su Mengling with a smile.
"I have decided to join the ministry after graduation." Su Mengling said with a smile of confidence and a bright smile.
There is one thing Su Mengling didn't say, that is, she didn't want to lose to Wang Jinlan. Although the two chose differently, Su Mengling had the intention of a little woman competing.
When Chen Hongtao, who heard that Su Mengling had made a different plan from Wang Jinlan and had a deep understanding of Su Mengling, naturally understood the girl's little thoughts at the moment.
"The political journey is long, and the officialdom is full of ups and downs, the unfathomable hidden valleys and hidden arrows hidden behind it, especially a girl. If you want to achieve some results, it will be very hard!" Chen Hongtao said solemnly to Su Mengling.
The psychological trend that continues in Chinese tradition is to characterize women as weak, especially in the officialdom. This is extremely obvious, which is why most female cadres are deputy.
With Su Mengling's beauty and family background, it is not difficult to get to power, but this is limited to department-level cadres. If you go further, it will probably not be easy!
Many people will naturally not adapt to being led by female officials, and Chen Hongtao is very clear about this.
"Don't look down on others. Sooner or later, I will prove to you that you can achieve results through your own efforts." Su Mengling felt a faint dissatisfaction in her coquettish anger.
"Okay, I admit that Mengling, you are a strong woman, okay! If you can soar in the officialdom in the future, I, a little man, can also borrow light. It seems that not only men like to hold power and enjoy the feeling of an ancient emperor, but women are also unwilling to be lonely. There was Wu Zetian in the past, and now there was us Su Mengling." Chen Hongtao smiled and teased at the girl opposite.
Su Mengling's pretty face showed a hint of shyness: "Bad guy, you are comfortable. Be your boss and do whatever you want! By the way, the bank's people came to Mingzhu Group today. Is the asset inventory going smoothly?"
"It's so smooth. After a while, when the entire group's asset inventory is over, I will split Mingzhu Group, sell part of its assets, and embezzle sufficient cash." Chen Hongtao did not hide anything from Su Mengling.
"Can it be split on the basis of integration? This can be sold at a good price! But in this way, wouldn't Mingzhu Group become a tree without a source?" Su Mengling's eyes showed some doubts.
Unlike others, although Su Mengling had doubts, she trusted Chen Hongtao very much. She believed that there must be a reason for her lover to do this.
"If you stick to a city and a pool, you will be bound to your hands and feet. Although the current economic development of the country is showing vitality, the 'source' you are talking about is still a little small to meet the needs of Mingzhu Group's rapid growth and expansion. I have decided to go abroad to develop when Mingzhu Group shows fatigue." Chen Hongtao told Su Mengling what he thought was.
"You plan to go abroad! When? Also, what does it mean to say that Zhu Group will show fatigue?" Su Mengling looked surprised and a little sensitive.
"It shouldn't be delayed for a month. After Mingzhu Group is renamed under my name and the group's assets are split and cashed out, I will draw blood from all the working capital of the entire group and transfer it abroad, causing the entire group to be in danger and on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Does it deliberately create a crisis for the entire Mingzhu Group? Is it for the sake of uncles and aunts' political responsibilities?" Su Mengling keenly noticed some of Chen Hongtao's thoughts.
"Yes, my parents' position in the army and in the organs should also move. They are in politics and I go business. Even if they don't rely on their family, our family will still be towering in the future." Chen Hongtao said with a faint smile.
"Once Mingzhu Group is lonely, it will be less jealous of some people. But Hongtao, do you decide to have a quarrel with your family?" Su Mengling's words were filled with worry.
"How could it be? What I said is not to rely on is just to make plans for my own affairs! No one in the Chen family would have any expectations for me, but my parents still have to go up, and the political resources in the family are not endless. In the future, our family will have to plan such things by ourselves." The smile on Chen Hongtao's face seemed a little weird.
"With the position where the uncle and aunt are now, if they do not rely on Grandpa Chen's power, it will be difficult to move forward. Is there anything you can do?" Su Mengling's pretty face looked at Chen Hongtao with a strange look.
"If there is no external power, you have to 'build momentum' by yourself. As the director of the Publicity Department, if my mother cannot effectively utilize the power of media and public opinion, it would be a pity! If my parents expressed their views that are conducive to the development and construction of the country, I believe the old man would not sit idly by..." Chen Hongtao explained his general thoughts to Su Mengling while having a meal.
Hearing Chen Hongtao's idea of rejuvenating the country through science and education and accelerating the modernization and regularization of the People's Army, Su Mengling's beautiful eyes were filled with glory.
"Hongtao, once you go abroad, it will probably be difficult for you to come back in the future, right?" Although he was surprised by Chen Hongtao's point of view, Su Mengling cared more about his going abroad.
"Haha! If you have money to buy a private plane in the future, you can come back anytime you want." Chen Hongtao said half-jokingly.
"Idiot, I'm buying a private plane. You can pass Grandpa Chen's stance first!" Su Mengling gave Chen Hongtao a smile.
Chen Hongtao grinned and said nothing. He really didn't catch a cold and had no common language for the stubborn old man.
As a privatization group company, Mingzhu Group does not need to be responsible to anyone.
Deliberately creating the illusion that the entire group is in danger, thereby achieving a significant reduction in employees and secretly integrating and developing the group, allowing Mingzhu Group to gradually withdraw from people's sight. This is Chen Hongtao's real purpose.
In Chen Hongtao's idea, the entire Mingzhu Group, which is ready to go, will be split and integrated into offshore holding companies in the process of gradual development. At that time, it will not only Mingzhu Group, but also his actual controller will gradually fade out of people's vision.
The fried shrimps are refreshing and moist. After eating them, the mouth is filled with the aroma of shrimps, which can be said to be a fragrance left on the cheeks.
The braised elbow gravy is everywhere, the meat is fragrant, and it is even more comfortable with red wine.
Because red wine contains a lot of tannin, it just can relieve the greasiness of meat dishes.
Chen Hongtao and Su Mengling ate with relish. Su Mengling also expressed his understanding of Chen Hongtao's idea of going abroad. The two even discussed some details of business development.
Su Mengling was born into a political family and had a clear understanding of political and commercial matters, and even put forward some ideas that made Chen Hongtao admire him.
A bottle of red wine was drunk by the two of them. Seeing Su Mengling's smile and glittering, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but sigh that in addition to beautifying the beauty of a woman, red wine can also be used to enlighten the charming characteristics of women.
The delicate expression that is about to say it is still absent, the sound of orioles and swallows that are far away, and the graceful body language, looking at the other side of a woman through the charming red wine glass. Even the most rigid woman will become vivid and charming under the catalysis of red wine, let alone a charming beauty like Su Mengling!
Especially the red wine produced in Bordeaux region has a soft and elegant taste, as if it is a charming and gentle beauty wine, which can better reflect the charm of women.
Bordeaux wine is like a beauties. It is pure and cute when she was young, with a gentle and fragrant fragrance and approachable, just like a girl waiting to be a boudoir. After she matures, she is enthusiastic and generous, with a mixed fragrance, like a graceful and luxurious woman, showing her charm, so she is known as the "after wine".
"Hongtao, this wine is really delicious! It combines elegance, boldness, thickness and sweetness, making people fall in love with it, as if the fragrance of wine always echoes in the body! It's just a pity, just two bottles!" Su Mengling showed her charming look, and her little tongue licked her sexy red lips, looking unsatisfied.
"Miss, you can't only drink, but your alcohol content is really quite good! The Bordeaux red wine in 1982 is indeed a good year, and it's not obvious now. In the future, you can drink one bottle less than one bottle!" Seeing Su Mengling's slightly drunk and silly beauty, Chen Hongtao showed a faint smile on his face.
