Chapter 29: Hotel Dinner

According to Qin Zhigang's request, the office arranged a banquet for the members of the data center construction project team at the New Jin Jiang Hotel this evening, which was not only to announce the establishment of the project promotion team, but also to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting.

Qiu Zhuodong, the director of the office, was very attentive to this arrangement, because the dinner was attended by two company leaders, although it was an internal dinner, but because the data center project is very important to the company's future business development, the participants are the main leaders of various departments.

Therefore, Qiu Zhuodong not only sent a notice in the mailbox of each participant, but also called one by one to confirm that every member could participate in the evening.

Qiu Zhuodong knows that the company's chief engineer Tang Qingshan's family is indeed in difficulty, his old lover has been suffering from severe diabetes, and has to go to the hospital for hemodialysis twice a week, his children are studying in the United States to work, and the life of the old lover at home depends on him to take care of it, so Tang Qingshan basically does not participate in the company's evening banquets and meals, this time Qiu Zhuodong went to his office to tell him the importance of evening activities, and promised to arrange the office Liang Xiaohui to go to Tang Qingshan's house to take care of his lover after work today, so that Tang Qingshan can participate in tonight's activities with peace of mind, and arrange a car to send Tang Qingshan home directly after the meal。

For such an arrangement, Tang Qingshan is naturally grateful, Liang Xiaohui has taken care of Tang Qingshan's old lover more than once, sometimes Tang Qingshan is on a business trip or during the period of going abroad, the office will try to arrange a home nanny to take care of Tang Qingshan's old lover's daily life, Liang Xiaohui will also take time out every day to accompany Tang Qingshan's old lover, Tang Qingshan has always been grateful to the company's leaders for taking care of him as an old technical expert, so today Qiu Zhuodong invited him in person and implemented specific arrangements, Tang Qingshan agreed to participate in the evening activities。

After getting off work at half past 5, Qiu Zhuodong asked the company's car class to arrange a 32-seat van to park at the door of the company, and the people who participated in the evening activities got in the car directly after work and went to the New Jin Jiang Hotel together.

Qin Zhigang and Zhang Zhihong also agreed not to take their own car today, but to take a van with everyone after work.

After getting off work at 5:35, the members of the promotion team were already sitting in the van and waiting, and Qin Zhigang and Zhang Zhihong got into the car one after another, accompanied by Qiu Zhuodong.

Qin Zhigang is also in a very good mood today, as soon as he got in the car and saw Tang Qingshan, he hurriedly took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold it and said: "Mr. Tang, you have worked hard to participate in our activities tonight, in fact, it is not for a meal, but the importance of this project, I always want to talk to you, usually everyone is very busy with work, today is the weekend, everyone will get together to discuss how to do a better job, I know that you have difficulties at home, I am very happy that you can serve the difficulties to participate, thank you for your strong support." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, this is the job I should do well, technically for the leadership, I also know the importance of this data center project, the leader trusts me so much, and let me serve as the leader of the project promotion team, I will unite everyone to do a good job, please rest assured." ”

"I am relieved to have your words, you are an expert in technology, you unite the members of the project promotion team to play their role, if there is a difficulty, go directly to Mr. Zhihong, and we will solve it as soon as possible if we need the support of our leaders. Director Qiu, have all the things at Mr. Tang's house been arranged tonight?" Qin Zhigang turned around and asked Qiu Zhuodong.

Before Qiu Zhuodong could answer, Tang Qingshan said, "Thank you Mr. Qin for your concern, Director Qiu has arranged it, or let Liang Xiaohui go to my house to arrange my old lover's life, your leaders arrange it so intimately every time, I don't want to go." ”

"Mr. Tang, don't worry, every time the company's leaders let me arrange, our office is to do a good job of service for everyone, and the leaders are also very concerned about you, we must put it in place, you can rest assured." Qiu Zhuodong said.

"Yes, this matter has always touched me very much, and Liang Xiaohui is really good, very careful, my old lover also likes her very much, I haven't seen Xiaohui for a long time and often chatters with me, thank you." After Tang Qingshan finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the car, and Qin Zhigang and Zhang Zhihong also smiled at each other.

The car soon arrived at the new Jin Jiang Hotel, and the project team members were walking inside after getting out of the car, Qin Zhigang stopped Qiu Zhuodong and said: "Zhuodong, you help me arrange a room here tonight, I will live here tonight, and tomorrow morning Cao Yayun will help me arrange a foreign manufacturer to have breakfast here and talk about some work." ”

"Okay, no problem, this is our agreement hotel, I just need to talk to the front desk, the old rule is still the 1801 luxury business suite you originally used, I'll go and get the room card and hand it over to you, and I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow." Qiu Zhuodong said.

"Send a car to pick me up at about 11 o'clock tomorrow, and also, have dinner here tonight, you arrange a car to go to my house to pick up my old lover to Tang Qingshan's house, and then you send Tang Qingshan home and pick up my old lover, she wants to send Liang Xiaohui home in person." ”

"Then don't bother your lover for a long time, I'll just pick up Liang Xiaohui from Tang Qingshan's house and send her home after a good meal. Qiu Zhuodong said.

"Hey, the key is that my old lover has been talking to Liang Xiaohui, that is, about my son wanting to talk to Liang Xiaohui about friends, they have been chatting with me at home, and it is better for the little girl to send her home in a car at night. After Qin Zhigang finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Qiu Zhuodong.

Qiu Zhuodong's mobile phone in his hand almost fell, knowing that Qin Zhigang looked at him, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange the vehicle, your old lover wants to talk to Liang Xiaohui, I'll talk to Liang Xiaohui in advance." ”

Qiu Zhuodong's words were relaxed, but he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, this is clearly a threat, a warning, it seems that Qin Zhigang said it inadvertently, now most people in the company already know about their relationship with Liang Xiaohui, but they don't show too much affection without affecting their work, at this time Qin Zhigang's intention to say this is very obvious...

Today's dinner menu Qiu Zhuodong has been booked on the Internet, after the cold dishes on the wine table are all ready, the waiter poured wine or drinks for each person, Zhang Zhihong saw that the preparations were almost done, got up and said: "Colleagues, tonight coincides with the weekend we are gathering here, which is the kick-off meeting for the establishment of our data center project promotion team, and it is also the opportunity of Mr. Qin to put forward some work requirements to everyone, and it is also an encouragement and spur to everyone's work. ”

Everyone burst into applause, Qin Zhigang stood up from his seat, signaled everyone to be quiet, he cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, good evening, you may already know that the company's business has developed rapidly in recent years, but the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, in order to develop the company's new business growth point, form a breakthrough in data business as soon as possible, and build Jianghai Schindler Communication Company into a world-class communication network service provider as soon as possible, under the unified deployment of the group, we will usher in a new round of data communication development. This time our leadership team discussed and decided to invest heavily in building a data center with the world's advanced level as soon as possible, to provide users with instant data communication services, due to the lack of experience in the planning and construction and operation of our traditional communication operators in data communication, we need international strength of the company to participate in the planning and design, network construction work, therefore, we must mobilize the strength of our internal experts in all aspects, together to do a good job in this work, I and Zhihong discussed the establishment of a project promotion group, you are a member of this group, the company's leaders have placed great hopes on your work。 ”

There was another round of applause on the wine table, Qin Zhigang paused for a moment and continued: "Our project promotion group Zhihong General Engineer suggested that Tang Qingshan be the team leader, Cao Yayun, director of the introduction office, and Jin Jianjun, the manager of the marketing department, as the deputy team leader. ”

There was another burst of applause on the table, and Qin Zhigang said again: "I won't say much else, everyone can relax at today's dinner and have a drink." ”

Qin Zhigang raised his wine glass, everyone stood up one after another, and the sound of glass glass collision sounded.

Qiu Zhuodong sat by the door, which is also an old habit of being the director of the office, and he always had to maintain a high degree of attention at the scene, observing the small changes and situations on the wine table, so as to make adjustments in time. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the situation of the hotel food delivery and service. Today, because he had to arrange for Qin Zhigang's wife to pick up Liang Xiaohui after dinner, he was a little uncomfortable, and when Qin Zhigang finished speaking, Qiu Zhuodong got up and went out to arrange.

Qiu Zhuodong first went to the hotel lobby to get the room card for Qin Zhigang to enter the luxury suite of the hotel at night. As soon as the hotel front desk manager saw Qiu Zhuodong coming over, he hurriedly came out of the counter, and sent the 1801 room card to Qiu Zhuodong's hand and said: "Hello Director Qiu, I received the text message you sent, the 1801 room is ready, or the luxury business suite that Mr. Qin used to live in, today unfortunately there is a guest in front of him, we upgraded a luxury suite for him for free, the guest agreed and changed the room, we have cleaned the original room, according to your instructions, but also put a fruit platter and flowers." ”

Qiu Zhuodong said: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Qin's consumption in the hotel is recorded in our company's account, as long as Mr. Qin puts the room card at the front desk when he checks out tomorrow, thank you." ”

After Qiu Zhuodong left the front desk, he walked to a street lamp outside the hotel gate and talked to Liang Xiaohui on his mobile phone, and he made a call for more than 10 minutes.

After making the call, Qiu Zhuodong trotted all the way, and after getting out of the elevator, he went straight to the small private room for dinner. Qiu Zhuodong glanced at the cold dishes on the wine table that had not yet been eaten, the restaurant waiter stood on the edge of the food table and watched, the atmosphere on the wine table began to be a little lively, Cao Yayun was standing beside Zhang Zhihong, trying his best to persuade Zhang Zhihong to drink this glass of wine.

"Mr. Zhang, you must drink this glass of wine, this time you take such good care of me, and let me serve as the deputy leader of such an important project promotion team, I am very happy, I must do a good job, but you must drink this glass of thanksgiving wine, otherwise I will lose face." ”

Zhang Zhihong didn't stand up and drink, it wasn't that he didn't want to drink, he also knew that Cao Yayun would come to toast. Just now in the crowded elevator on the hotel, Cao Yayun stood behind Zhang Zhihong, and when people were not paying attention, he had gently touched Zhang Zhihong's drooping hand with his hand below, Zhang Zhihong knew that Cao Yayun was a small action of active sensationalism, Zhang Zhihong was silent and pinched Cao Yayun's meat hand below, which can be regarded as a default.

When Qin Zhigang said the opening remarks just now, Cao Yayun swept Zhang Zhihong's eyes several times with gentle eyes, and Zhang Zhihong had already sensitively captured a kind of information. Now Cao Yayun is beside her, holding a wine glass in one hand, bending down slightly, almost her entire plump chest is attached to Zhang Zhihong's shoulder, and she is persuading him to drink.

Zhang Zhihong was waiting for a voice, without this voice, he would not have drunk this glass of wine with Cao Yayun. Qin Zhigang took the room card handed over by Qiu Zhuodong and put it in his jacket pocket and said, "Mr. Zhang, I think Director Cao is very sincere in respecting your glass of wine, so you can drink it." ”

Zhang Zhihong stood up when he heard this and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, my alcohol consumption has been bad, everyone knows it, so my drinking style is not good, and drinking is not bold. ”

There was laughter at the wine table, Zhang Zhihong continued: "Since it is Mr. Qin who spoke today, I drank this glass of wine, and it was also for our project, Mr. Qin handed over this task to me, to be honest, I have a lot of bottom in my heart, today with the strong support of everyone here, I am relieved, come! Let's touch the glass together, I drink this glass of wine, you are free." After speaking, Zhang Zhihong touched the wine glass with everyone, and then raised his neck and drank a glass of wine. ”

Everyone knew that Zhang Zhihong was not very good at drinking, and when they saw Zhang Zhihong so bold, they drank all the wine in their glasses, and then Zhang Zhihong beckoned everyone to sit down.

Cao Yayun still stood behind Zhang Zhihong, took the glass of wine just now, and said: "Mr. Zhang, this is your mistake, the little lady made a special trip to respect your big leader, I usually haven't had the opportunity to drink with Mr. Zhang, I will toast you, you did drink the wine with others, no, you have to fill it up, and have another glass with the little girl." ”

Zhang Zhihong wants to drink but is afraid of the mixing of a woman, she insists on asking you to drink, she must get you drunk to be happy, this kind of woman on the wine table is the most difficult, I don't know what bad idea this kind of woman wants to make when she is really drunk. At this moment, Qin Zhigang spoke: "Hey, Director Cao is right this time, she is here to honor you, but you drank the wine with others, but her wine was not drunk, Mr. Zhang can't bully women, fill up and have another glass." Qin Zhigang laughed out loud after speaking, feeling a little like he was going to make a big deal out of it.

Listening to Qin Zhigang's laughter, Zhang Zhihong was not surprised, this time he directly asked Cao Yayun to serve as the deputy leader of the project promotion team, Qin Zhigang has expressed his happiness many times, and it is not intentional to let Cao Yayun toast today, but also shows a friendly attitude. But Zhang Zhihong knows that this project has given Cao Yayun a chance to play, she will definitely grasp it well, and will definitely reap more benefits in the last term of Qin Zhigang's position, this investment project may be the biggest one, she will be more bold to operate, and even take risks to ruin Qin Zhigang's future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhihong stood up again, turned to Cao Yayun and said, "In order for this project to achieve the expected goals, I will respect you as the deputy team leader." ”

Qiu Zhuodong hurriedly stepped forward, took a glass of 'red wine' he had prepared in advance from the waiter's cooking table, and put this glass of wine into Zhang Zhihong's wine glass.

"Ah, my deputy team leader is Mr. Zhang, who looks up to me, how can I have this ability, and I want Mr. Zhang to take care of me, I drank this glass of wine to thank Mr. Zhang for his favor to me. ”

"Okay, this time it depends on your performance in the project team, you have to work harder, let the leaders rest assured, and let Mr. Qin be satisfied. Zhang Zhihong said.

"That's certain, I will never live up to the trust of the leader, let's have a glass of wine. After Cao Yayun finished speaking, she crossed her white and round arm with Zhang Zhihong's hand holding the wine glass, and the two slowly drank the wine, winning everyone's applause.

Zhang Zhihong nodded at Qiu Zhuodong after drinking this glass of wine, Qiu Zhuodong didn't see it, and poured all the remaining 'red wine' in the wine glass he took just now into Zhang Zhihong's wine glass.

Zhang Zhihong said softly: "Thank you." Qiu Zhuodong just poured into Zhang Zhihong's glass of 'red wine' is a drink he prepared in advance with sour plum juice and other fruit juices, and he can block it when the leader encounters drinking difficulties, Zhang Zhihong of course understands it.

At this time, Qiu Zhuodong was a little relieved, as the director of the office, the fake wine prepared for the leaders on the wine table had to take a certain risk, and it was necessary to have an accurate and comprehensive prediction. Sometimes when the leader wants to drink, and you provide fake wine, the leader will think that you are doing too much, and when the leader wants to drink, he wants to have a good drink, and you must echo the leader's desire to drink, and you must not adulterate. Like today's situation, Zhang Zhihong because of the presence of Qin Zhigang, and related to the business and projects he grasped, Zhang Zhihong of course does not want to get drunk, and ordinary people will not take the initiative to challenge the leader's amount of alcohol, only when encountering a situation like Cao Yayun today, there is a leader as a backstage support, and I also want to express my gratitude to Zhang Zhihong for arranging her to serve as the deputy leader of the promotion group, and the person who insists on toasting again can't hide, Zhang Zhihong of course feels very intimate about the fake wine arranged by Qiu Zhuodong, Zhang Zhihong's nod to Qiu Zhuodong made Qiu Zhuodong feel the satisfaction of the leader, relaxed a little, and continued to observe the dynamic changes on the wine table。

Tang Qingshan slowly stood up with a wine glass filled with tea and said, " Two leaders, I Tang is too much to drink, but I still want to respect the two leaders and all my colleagues here, thank you Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhang for their trust in my work over the years, so that I can give full play to my professional and technical expertise, and contribute to the development of Jianghai Schindler Communication Company, this time I am very Rongxin as the leader of the data center construction promotion group, I must live up to the trust of the leadership in me, and strive to unite everyone to do a good job, today the leadership helped me solve the family's worries, let me participate in today's project promotion group kick-off meeting and dinner activities, here I am deeply grateful, I drank this cup with tea instead of wine, and please raise a glass togetherCheers to the smooth development of our company's various undertakings. ”

After listening to Mr. Tang's simple toast from the bottom of their hearts, Qin Zhigang and Zhang Zhihong took the lead in standing up, Qin Zhigang said: "Thank you Mr. Tang for actively contributing to the development of our enterprise for so many years, and ensuring that the company's technological development has become a leader in the same industry in the country. ”

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate each other, the sound of the wine glasses clattering, and suddenly Cao Yayun took Qin Zhigang's sons Qin Xiaofeng and Tang Pengfei into the private room.

Qin Zhigang slowly sat down and said, "Director Cao, you brought a guest in, let's help introduce you." ”

Cao Yayun said with a smile on her face: "Leaders, bring 2 guests today, let me introduce you, this is Qin Xiaofeng, chairman and general manager of Xiaofeng International Import and Export Trade Company, he is the son of our President Qin, and also a long-term partner and centralized procurement supplier of our Schindler Communication Company. The other is Mr. Tang Pengfei, the director of the internationally renowned Arbuck data center planning and design company in Jianghai City...
