Chapter 364 Do You Know My Dad?
Chapter 364 Do You Know My Dad?
While Su Yang was peeing, he saw the man hang up the phone. He shuddered twice, tied his belt, and prepared to get in the car and leave. These days, when you are out, it is better to mind your own business.
"Brother, let me go. I'm leaving now."
The man nodded and quickly put the luggage aside. He looked around, but it was already eight or nine o'clock and there was no car available.
Not to mention taxis, even private cars were hard to find.
Su Yang started the car, and the man suddenly realized that there was a car next to him, so he quickly stood in front of Su Yang's car.
Su Yang stuck his head out of the car window and said, "You're crazy! Can't you find a better place to commit fraud?"
The man smiled bitterly: "Brother, I just got off the plane and found a car to go home, but the driver wanted to add more money halfway through the journey. I had an argument with him and he kicked me out of the car."
"You said this highway intersection is in the middle of nowhere, can you please give me a ride?"
Su Yang smiled and said, "If you put a knife to my neck halfway, would I have anywhere to cry?"
"Just walk back by yourself. It's about ten kilometers to the city center. You can get a taxi then."
As he was about to drive away, the man blocked the car again.
"Brother, please help me, I really have something to do back in the city!"
"How about this, I'll give you money, 500 yuan, okay?"
As the man was about to take out the money, Su Yang patted the steering wheel: "Look at me driving this car, do I look like I'm short of money?"
The man scratched his head, looking at the tattered Jetta in front of him. He really didn't find any unique temperament in it. According to common sense, Su Yang should not have much money, but he was not tempted by five hundred yuan. Could it be that he wanted one thousand?
I haven't been back for a few years. Have the prices in Jiangcheng City soared to this level?
"If it doesn't work, one thousand will do..."
Su Yang almost laughed out loud, but he could also tell that the man was indeed in a hurry to get back to the city, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a thousand dollars. However, there was no village or shop nearby, and other people didn't dare to stop the car when they saw him waving.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Su Yang let go, the man felt relieved: "Let's go to Jiangcheng University, the campus in the university town, do you know?"
Su Yang nodded: "Get in the car, it's on the way."
Before leaving, he called Si Yao, who was having dinner at a hotel near the university town. When she heard that he was back, she had just had a few drinks and couldn't drive, so she asked him to pick her up.
Unexpectedly, I met one who happened to be on my way.
The man quickly stuffed his things into the trunk and sat in the passenger seat, feeling relieved.
Su Yang started the car and drove straight to the city.
On the way, he lit a cigarette and handed it to the man: "Want to smoke?"
The man shook his head: "No, no, I'm not used to it."
Su Yang nodded, took a puff, spit it out, and chatted with the man: "What are you doing at Jiangcheng University? Looking for someone?"
The man smiled and said, "My father teaches at Jiangcheng University, but he is about to retire. I just came back from Shanghai and it happened to be my annual leave, so I came here to stay for a while."
Su Yang nodded. There were hundreds of teachers in Jiangcheng University, so it was unlikely that he knew all of them.
But I guess these teachers all know him.
In the 70 years since Jiangcheng University was founded, he is probably the first one who dares to sleep with a teacher.
The car drove all the way from the highway intersection to the city. Although the car was broken, Su Yang drove very steadily. After passing the railway intersection, the phone in the man's pocket rang again, and he quickly answered it.
"Yes, yes, Dad, I got a taxi. Where are you?"
"It's not on the Jiangcheng University campus, it's at the restaurant at the entrance?"
"What hotel? Jinlaishun Hotel?"
The man hung up the phone and looked at Su Yang apologetically: "Sorry, brother, I have to trouble you to take me to Jinlaishun Restaurant. My dad is there. To be honest, today is his retirement day. He said he ordered a table of food and is waiting for me."
"I'll give you an extra 200 yuan then."
Su Yang glanced at his phone and it seemed that the address Si Yao sent him was also Jin Laishun Hotel.
He knew this place, it was a Korean restaurant with good food. He had eaten there several times. He never expected that by chance he would invite the child of a professor from Jiangcheng University to meet him. What was even more coincidental was that his father and his wife were eating in the same hotel.
Could it be that Si Yao was invited by his father?
Su Yang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I'm going to Jinlaishun too..."
"Forget about the money. I don't need 1,800 yuan. I'll send you there. Maybe you can even meet some old acquaintances."
The man was a little confused: "Old acquaintance?"
Su Yang did not answer, but continued to ask: "I have given you a ride all the way, but I still don't know your last name? Would you mind leaving a name?"
The man thought about it, then quickly took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Su Yang.
"This is my business card. I work in accounting. If you need anything, you can call me directly."
"If there is..."
He looked at Su Yang's black Jetta and swallowed back all the words that were about to be said.
I guess after getting off the car, the two of them had no more interactions.
Su Yang picked up the business card and glanced at it: "Lu Wanjiang, senior partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers (China)?"
Su Yang took a deep breath. He was a graduate of Jiangcheng University, majoring in finance. Naturally, he knew the value of the four words "PricewaterhouseCoopers". Globally, there are four largest accounting firms that almost cover the listing, financing, auditing and evaluation projects of most companies in the world.
The reports they issue are of absolute authoritative value.
And PricewaterhouseCoopers is one of them.
He looked at Lu Wanjiang, who should be less than 40 years old, and he could actually become a senior partner, which showed that he was definitely very capable.
For someone who can sit in this position, it would be a bit insulting to talk about annual salary, but the money earned by leading a company's IPO project is probably enough for an ordinary person to work for several lifetimes.
After Lu Wanjiang handed over his business card, he fell silent.
After all, in this small city, only a handful of people know PwC, and even fewer know what it does.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is no different from an accountant who does accounts and a cashier who pays money, which is why he left Jiangcheng City.
There is no place for heroes.
If his father had not insisted on teaching at Jiangcheng University, he might have brought his parents to Shanghai to live out their days in peace.
"You have become a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers at such a young age. It seems that Professor Lu has indeed educated you well. It is true that a good father will have a good son!"
When he saw Lu Wanjiang's name, he guessed who Lu Wanjiang's father was. After all, there were not many teachers with the surname Lu in Jiangcheng University. Apart from Lu Yuanzhong, the vice dean of the Accounting Department of Jiangcheng University, there was no one else.
Lu Wanjiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Yang in disbelief.
"You know my dad?"
