363. Father and daughter
Half a month later.
Empire State Building, 19th Floor, Jianlibao (USA) Inc.
"Slow down, come on, put it this way. ”
An office equipment company sent things over as promised today, and Xia Ying was busy directing.
The huge whole floor of the office space has been renovated, the cleaning has been cleaned, and the area that should be redecorated has been completed 24 hours a day.
The license or something, under the running of lawyer Davis, was completely put in place.
In short, everything is ready, just waiting for the opening.
Even some employees have been recruited, but they haven't officially started work yet.
Outside the company, the elevator in the aisle opened, and a man and a woman walked down, the man was in his fifties, and the woman was very young, blonde and blue-eyed, slender, quite beautiful.
"Daphne, here it is, right here. I'll tell you, it's all over the floor!" said Uncle Tom with some smugness.
However, he was still greeted with a cold face, even suspicion.
"Are you sure you have a relationship here?"
Although the man, who was nominally her father, did not deceive her, he never fulfilled his obligations as a father. Two days ago, he suddenly found himself at the bar and said that he could introduce himself to a job, in the Empire State Building......
Devni's first instinct was disbelief.
Maybe he's learned to lie again now?
That night, she bought him a glass of the cheapest rum and ignored him.
It is likely that he said this on purpose because he came over to rub a glass of wine.
Until midnight the next day, when she got off work, a luxurious stretched Lincoln stopped beside her and sent her back to her old rented apartment.
He said he had befriended a big boss and was now driving for him.
Devni finally believed him, but only a little.
Then with three points of suspicion and seven points of apprehension, today with him, I walked into this world-famous mansion.
Honestly, her legs are shaking right now.
Think of the environment in which she usually lives, living in a dilapidated apartment in an old town full of blacks, and going to work in a cannery-turned-bar at the end of the street.
Although she had already imagined what it would be like if it were true, if there really was such a company in the Empire State Building?
But she still didn't dare to think that this company actually occupied an entire floor of the Empire State Building!
She was no longer suspicious, but afraid, afraid that this guy in front of her would brag - he had always had this habit.
Then the two walked in, and they were blasted out directly.
There is no doubt that the boss who can drive such a company can afford to sit on the extended Lincoln, but will he be hired as a driver?
In addition to his really good driving level, he is not good at all, he is abusive, drunk, irresponsible, and loves to brag...... Why do people take a fancy to him?
Are all the men who can drive in New York dead?
"Daphne, don't you believe me?" said Uncle Tom, who suddenly felt unusually lost.
What a sad scene, his own daughter has always been suspicious and even wary of herself, as if she was worried that she would sell her.
He's not a good father, but he can't do anything like that!
"I believe you said that there is a company here, and you probably know some people......"
"Really?" said Uncle Tom, who was overjoyed.
"But I don't believe you know the boss here. What kind of department manager do you know, drive him?"
"No, no, I'm really driving for the boss here, he's a billionaire, and I know all the executives here. If you don't believe it, Dad will take you to see it. ”
Devni was slightly stunned, not because of this sentence, but because her hand was grabbed.
She subconsciously wanted to shake it off. She thought she would do the same.
But for some reason, somewhere in her heart was touched. Is that...... About memories of childhood.
In her memory, she had a pair of big hands holding her all the time, giving her an unparalleled sense of security, no matter how fast she ran, she would not fall.
She was silent for a moment, not speaking, still holding his hand, and walking towards the wide doorway.
Because of this, she really wasn't so scared.
"Eh, Uncle John, why are you here?"
Xia Ying happened to be in the office hall not far from the door, when she heard footsteps, turned her head to look, and greeted with a smile.
"Hello Miss Xia. Isn't this a bit of a thing, I mentioned it to Mr. Guo last time. ”
"Oh......" Xia Ying recalled, pacing in front of the two, her eyes naturally falling on Daphni, and asked with a smile, "This is your daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Daphni. ”
Uncle Tom nodded, then waved his arm and motioned to his daughter, "Daphni, this beautiful Miss Oriental is the personal secretary of the boss here, Miss Xia." ”
The boss's personal secretary?
Isn't that something like a mistress?
Daphne immediately understood the high status of this woman.
However, she actually took the initiative to greet the guy next to her, and affectionately called him "Uncle Tom......
"Hello, Miss Xia, very ...... It's an honor to meet you. She stumbled and bowed.
"You're welcome. ”
After Xia Ying smiled, she quipped, "Uncle Tom, your daughter seems to be a little shy." ”
"Well, it's from a small place, I haven't seen the world, there must be a little, just wait a while. ”
Devni greeted his mother, her grandmother. It's like you've seen a lot of the world.
"Uncle Tom, are you going to see Mr. Guo? Actually, there is no need, he nodded too much, you just let your daughter come to work the day after tomorrow." Xia Ying said.
"No, let's see each other, this is just a small thing for Mr. Guo, but for Daphni, it may affect her life, and she should express her gratitude in person. ”
If it weren't for the fact that there was too much difference in the status of the two sides, there was really nothing good to get hold of, and Uncle Tom was looking for a gift.
He said this very sincerely, without exaggeration, if Daphne still stayed in that small bar to work, this life might be ruined, where there are all people with black miasma, in the long run, people will inevitably follow.
Seeing this, Xia Ying didn't persuade again.
"Do you really know the boss here?"
Two minutes later, Daphne asked in surprise as she looked at the double-open red lacquered door in front of her.
The door to this office is bigger than the door of their bar. There is a sign on the door that reads "General Manager's Office".
"Daphni. ”
Uncle Tom looked at her lovingly, and said softly, "I have not deceived you in the past, and I will not in the future. I admit that I am not a good father and have missed most stages of your life. Now as I'm getting older, I've come to understand something, and I want to...... You can forgive me, and I will do everything I can to make it up to you. ”
How much he wanted to hear the child in front of him call "Father" again.
As he said, the once uninhibited debauchery is gone, and he deeply understands what is the most precious thing in the world.
Devni looked at him and didn't speak, she had lived fifteen years without a father, and it was impossible for her to let go of her suspicions just because of this sentence.
And Uncle Tom, apparently, understands this too.
But he was still happy in his heart, and today, he took his daughter's hand again, and she didn't resist.
It's a great start.
"Knock Knock ......"
"Please come in. ”
Spacious to the point that it didn't look like an office, Daphne felt that if this house could make her a home, she would never have any other luxuries in her life.
The floor is covered with a thick red carpet, the gold wallpaper is bright and brilliant, and the space layout is more like a suite, with an office area, a wine area, and a sitting area.
At this time, on the soft leather sofa in the living area, two young Asian men are sitting.
One person looks very handsome in gray casual clothes, and the other person is dressed in a straight suit, a standard successful person, wearing sexy gold-rimmed glasses. This outfit alone makes him charming.
There was also a man standing next to the couch.
Daphne had never seen such a tall Asian.
"Uncle Tom, you came by coincidence, you just told Jiawei to make a cup of tea and drink, come, come and taste it, this is authentic Chinese Longjing tea. Guo Yongkun greeted with a smile.
"He's the boss. Uncle Tom whispered to his daughter, then smiled and nodded and walked over.
Devoni watched in amazement as he and the two Asian men sipped tea, chatting and laughing, and were speechless in astonishment.
They know each other so well.
It's not that ...... Is it just a driver?
"Your daughter?" Guo Yongkun pointed to Daphni, who was standing in place and didn't dare to move, "It's still a big beauty." ”
"Whereever, it's okay......" Uncle Tom said modestly, but with a bit of pride on his face.
It is difficult for Feng Jiawei to make such a "Chinese" translation.
"Daphne, don't come to say hello yet. ”
"Oh......"
"This is the boss I told you, you can call him Mr. Guo, or Mr. Guo. ”
"Guo, Guo is always good. ”
"This is the company's general manager Feng. ”
"It's always good to seal. ”
Two standard ninety-degree bows. Guo Yongkun felt that this girl was quite interesting, and she was so serious.
Of course, he didn't know about the at Uncle John's house. Since your father is here, we don't treat him as an outsider, so there's really no need to be too polite.
Since everyone has done the big gifts, then he naturally has to give a response, and think about implementing her work directly. Uncle Tom had already mentioned this to him a few days ago.
"It's called Daphne, right?"
"...... right"
"What kind of education do you have, what do you do?"
"That," without waiting for Devni to answer, Uncle Tom hurriedly relieved his daughter, "Mr. Guo, she is not highly educated, she went to high school, this is my responsibility, I didn't have the ability to provide for her at the beginning." I pondered...... Let her be a front desk lady. ”
"When a vase?" Because he was already familiar with it, Guo Yongkun didn't hide it when he spoke.
That's better than hanging out at a bar...... Uncle Tom thought to himself.
"Uncle Tom, you have to think about it carefully, the front desk lady is a bowl of youth rice. Feng Jiawei reminded.
He felt that Uncle Tom's brain was a little unturnable, since the bosses were all sitting here, even if they didn't know anything, they could still learn, Devni was in her early twenties, and she was still very young.
"Others," said Uncle Tom, scratching his head, "I'm afraid she won't." ”
"What did she do before?" asked Guo Yongkun.
"In ...... The bar sells alcohol. "Uncle Tom is hesitant and can't hide it.
"Selling wine?" Guo Yongkun is not only happy, but also very right. He looked at Feng Jiawei and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Put the sales department, exercise first, since you have sold wine, it means that you are a little eloquent, and you may be able to cultivate a sales elite. ”
"Yes. ”
Daphni, who has never spoken, also wants to cry without tears, and is still a sales elite, is she that material?
How does she sell alcohol?
Mainly by wearing less...... It can be said that the number of sales is completely inversely proportional to the fabric of the clothes.
Are you sure this is of the same nature as the work you are talking about?
But she also knows very well in her heart that in such a large company, no matter what kind of work she does, it is better than her now, and the salary will definitely be higher.
This is an opportunity that she must grasp.
"Well, why don't you try?" said Uncle Tom to his daughter.
Devni thought to herself, do I have the right to refuse?
Nodding subconsciously.
There is no mistake
