Chapter 7 smashed his son's job
The Langham, London belongs to the Langham Hospitality Group, but the two are not exactly the same.
At the beginning, because of the deepening of business relations with Langham Hotel Group, Fan Liancheng and his son made a decision and won more than 70% of the total shares of the old five-star hotel Langham, London, which was the first batch of Chinese businessmen to eat crabs overseas and acquire high-end hotels.
This old building, built in 1865, has just spent more than 70 million pounds to renovate the whole building a few years ago, and the person in charge of the renovation plan is none other than Fan Liancheng's mother, who came to England to take care of her baby son in the name of presiding over the renovation.
But she is no longer there, lying forever in a cemetery in the eastern suburbs of London.
This is the crux of Fan Liancheng's refusal to use his family's wealth and his efforts to maintain his independence.
I haven't been to that hotel for a long time.
Thinking of sending the Buddha to the west, Fan Liancheng struggled for a short time, and finally took a taxi himself, carried Miss Daddario into the car, folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk, and then said the destination.
The yellow and black taxis drive quietly, following the traffic on the street, and the buildings on both sides are quite beautiful.
The only people who are interested in enjoying the roadside scenery are Alexandra D'Addario, who is said to have come to London only the day before, and Fan Liancheng is more interested in her face, which happens to look like him.
Occasionally, I look sideways, just admiring.
Fan Liancheng didn't think that he would have some entanglements with this New York tour who came from afar, which was destined to fade with distance, so he ...... The more than 8,000 pounds of medical expenses still have to be recovered, at least the part that cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.
Daddario was just twenty-one years old, and she knew that Fan Liancheng was slightly younger than herself.
At this moment, Yu Guang could catch a glimpse of his gaze, and he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, thinking that he was really just an introvert, not that he was unattractive in the eyes of the other party.
Women, it's hard not to care about these things, Daddario took the initiative to ask: "So you are a student of Imperial College London, is it right that you live in London?
"The first three places you mentioned are all in China, I was born in Shanghai, and I came to the UK to study at the age of eleven, which has nothing to do with this. "After Fan Liancheng was hospitalized yesterday, he slept most of the time, and the two didn't communicate much, and they didn't even say these basic personal information.
"Honestly, I like your accent, with a British accent, and I've lived for a long time. ”
"The accent in New York is also very good, and if you speak in an American, you will always be recognized in London. ”
"Just like the British, I know an actor who was asked where he was from England as soon as he spoke, and he stupidly asked how do you know I'm from the UK?" said Daddario laughing, mimicking the Englishman's thick British accent when he was asked.
Fan Liancheng was also amused, and replied: "There are many British actors who have developed in the United States, so I take the liberty to ask, what movies or TV series have you acted in? I usually like to watch those, such as "Friends", "Two and a Half Heroes", "Growing Pains" and so on. ”
"I play small roles that are not well-known, and being an actor is not an easy task, and luck is also important. ”
She found a resume from her bag, which showed all the roles she had played, and added when she handed it to Fan Liancheng: "I usually only tell others that I am looking for a job, what I am afraid of is that others ask what he has played, film and television stars must be actors, but actors may not be able to become stars, if others can't recognize themselves and have no impression, the scene will be very embarrassing." ”
After sweeping his gaze and remembering the name on it, Fan Liancheng said: "I will definitely go and see it, you are beautiful, and you will definitely be remembered." ”
Complimenting him in a serious way doesn't make people feel like he's just being polite.
Daddario said happily: "Thank you, but in Hollywood, it's useless to be pretty, there are too many handsome guys and beauties on the street, if it weren't for these delays in studying, I would even start to want to change careers and become a prosecutor like my father, or a doctor, what about you?"
"I? I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet, and it's probably useless even if I do, so I'll make do with it first. ”
"You're still young, you can live comfortably, and you will naturally find a job that suits you in the future, Imperial College London is very powerful......"
The taxi stops in front of the Langham Hotel.
Fan Liancheng silently prayed not to bump into Feng Qi, but he was not worried about the other hotel staff, the number of times he came over was small, and it was difficult to recognize himself.
The Chinese girl I met yesterday morning was only a part-time job as a "nanny" for him, and she worked as a lobby manager in this hotel every day, overseeing all the service staff.
After getting out of the car, a doorman came over to help with the luggage as soon as possible, Fan Liancheng refused: "Thank you, I'll come by myself, Miss D'Addario, what floor do you live on?"
"Call me Sandra or Dada, you're too formal, my friends always call me that, Dada. She poked her head out of the window and cleared the taxi fare.
"Okay, you open the car door and I'll carry you out. ”
I also hugged the car before, and my weight was quite light, which was not a burden for Fan Liancheng at all.
Since he didn't ask the doorman to help with anything, he naturally didn't need to tip, and the other party helped open the door in a friendly manner, while Fan Liancheng pushed a wheelchair in.
Compared with the environment in his memory, everything in the hall was still the same, and he didn't see the familiar lobby manager, so he decisively quickened his pace, thinking that he would send her back to the hotel room, and his mission would be over.
No accidents, take the elevator upstairs, swipe the card into a certain only one bedroom of the superior suite, standing by the window can see the park, the view is not bad, if it is at night it will be beautiful.
Miss Daddario was embarrassed, her right foot injury required long-term recuperation, and it was inconvenient to do anything in a wheelchair.
I really can't do it at the moment, I came to the door of the bathroom, and after hesitation, I said, "Dylan, I want to go in...... There's no nurse here, can you help me up first?"
“......”
Instantly understood that it was to solve some physiological troubles, Fan Liancheng said: "It's better to hire a nurse, it's not convenient for you to do anything." ”
"Well, maybe I should borrow some money first, just enough to pay back the money I owe you. ”
"It doesn't matter if you owe me money, it's not too late for you to solve your own problems first. ”
"You're a student, I've started working anyway, it's not easy to work part-time, I understand. "Daddario was slightly embarrassed, he hit someone, but in the end he always had to trouble the victim, and he was very unhappy.
Not long.
Fan Liancheng didn't have a habit of eavesdropping, and after sitting on the sofa in the living room for a while, she turned her wheelchair and came out.
"I'll leave later," she told, "and I'll treat you to a sumptuous lunch, where it is said that the first fine hotel afternoon tea in England was born." ”
I didn't want to agree, but I didn't eat it myself, and it was inconvenient for her, so she simply nodded.
Meanwhile.
A slightly lame middle-aged Chinese man walked out of the small coffee shop called "Barton Coffee" next to Imperial College London, with a smile on his face.
Behind him, a shrewd old Englishman was carrying a stack of pounds into his pocket and waving enthusiastically.
The old shopkeeper, named Barton, turned around and made a phone call to tell Fan Liancheng that he had been fired and that he had found a full-time clerk.
smashed his son's job with his own hands, Fan Nanhua didn't care at all.
In his opinion, working as a waiter in a café like this is purely a time to exchange food, and it has no meaning to his son's life and future, and he has wanted to do it for a long time......
