977 [Reversal].
Jiang Haoran is in his fifties this year, his head hair is thin, his body is fat, because he has been doing business and drinking all year round to accompany customers, his body is a little swollen, especially his eyes are yellow, and his eye bags are black, as if he has not had enough sleep all year round, but no one at the scene dared to make fun of him, and no one dared to underestimate him, let alone treat him as a fool who couldn't wake up, because he was the head of the Jiang family in Pattaya and a famous "hotel tycoon" here.
Jiang Haoran is an old overseas Chinese who came to Thailand in the 60s. In the beginning, he ran a small guesthouse in Pattaya, and then with the rise of tourism in Pattaya, he took out a bank loan to build a resort hotel, and since then he has made his first pot of gold.
Today, Chiang owns five hotels in Pattaya and also intends to raise funds to expand into Bangkok and Chiang Mai, hence the nickname "Hotel Tycoon".
At this time, when the big guys saw him coming, they all got out of the way.
Jiang Haoran walked up to his son Jiang Yu and said angrily: "What are you still doing here? I didn't hear what I just said, our respected mayor Wangcha is about to arrive!"
Jiang Yu's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly pointed at Song Zhichao and said, "I'm introducing friends to everyone." ”
Jiang Haoran noticed Song Zhichao at this time, looked up and down, frowned and said, "Who is it?"
Jiang Yu stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, Jiang Haoran's brows furrowed even more, and he said softly: "I told you, don't be with these indiscreet people, you just don't listen!"
After speaking, he glanced at Song Zhichao disdainfully, put his hands behind his back, and said with a pinch posture: "Who is that, we Jiang Yu still have things to do, you can just eat and drink here---!"
Song Zhichao smiled and glanced at Yan Susu.
Yan Susu's face was apologetic, and her eyes were full of worry.
Jiang Haoran also saw Yan Susu at this time, was slightly stunned, and then looked at his son sharply.
His son had pursued Yan Susu, but he knew it.
To be precise, Jiang Haoran has strict control over his son Jiang Yu, especially in terms of women, and has always disliked his pursuit of those low-grade women.
Jiang Yu's face was embarrassed, so he hurriedly went to his father's ear to explain, saying that he met by chance this time, and his wife Manting insisted on bringing them over.
Jiang Haoran's face was a little better, but the eyes that looked at Yan Susu and Song Zhichao became even more disdainful and disgusting.
Jiang Haoran ignored Song Zhichao and Yan Susu, and directly turned around and told Jiang Yu: "It is very important to entertain the mayor this time, if our hotel wants to enter Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we must be helped by the mayor to open the way and make a guarantee in the bank." ”
Jiang Yu nodded frequently after listening.
He knew very well that the Jiang family had opened a lot of hotels, but they had also borrowed a lot of money from the bank.
Now that the family wants to enter the two big cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, the financial aspect is even more important.
If the mayor didn't vouch for them, those banks would probably not lend money, and the Jiang family's hotel plan would have been in vain.
However, the mayor of Pattaya, Wangcha, has never been a good talker, and he is in a high position, and he generally looks down on Chinese people like them who run the hotel industry.
What's more, it is said that the bosses of several other industries are also courting the mayor and want to ask him to be a guarantee for financial financing.
In this way, the competition becomes more intense.
Prior to this, Jiang Haoran put down his body and personally invited the mayor to a banquet many times, but Wang Cha politely refused.
This time, with the help of his son Jiang Yu and his wife Bao Manting's third wedding anniversary, Jiang Haoran once again sincerely invited Mayor Wangcha to come over, if he can't grasp the opportunity this time, it will really be a miserable loss.
While the father and son were talking in secret, they heard a commotion outside the hall, and then heard someone shouting: "Mayor Wangcha has arrived!"
Suddenly, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Jiang Haoran and Jiang Yu, father and son, didn't expect to "say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive", and hurriedly turned around to look.
I saw that at the entrance of the hall, the mayor of Pattaya, who was wearing a Thai dress with a big belly and a shiny face, was late.
The surrounding people were busy and solemn.
Even Jiang Haoran couldn't help but stand with his chest up, waiting to greet the mayor.
Jiang Yu is also very eye-catching, seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed his wife Bao Manting's arm, and Qi Yu took the lead in walking towards Mayor Wangcha.
"Lord Mayor, we are here to sincerely welcome you!" Jiang Yuxian said with a smile on his face.
Bao Manting also smiled, looking humbly at Mayor Wangcha.
But the mayor of Nawangcha did not look at the two of them, and walked straight behind them without stopping.
Jiang Yu: "......"
Bao Manting: "......"
The husband and wife were inevitably a little embarrassed, and said in their hearts that they only saw their father in their eyes, but they didn't look at them at all.
Looking at Jiang Haoran again, he didn't expect Mayor Wangcha to walk straight past his son, busy puffing out his chest and belly, stretching out his hand, ready to shake hands with Mayor Wangcha.
All eyes of the others were focused on this place.
But Mayor Nawangcha strangely crossed Jiang Haoran again, completely ignoring Jiang Haoran's outstretched hand, and his gaze didn't stay on him, so he walked past him.
Jiang Haoran paused for a moment, and was about to turn around to see what was going on, but he heard Mayor Wangcha laugh and say, "Mr. Song, it's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person! Haha, I heard that your noble family is busy, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Jiang Haoran turned his head, but saw Mayor Wangcha affectionately holding the hand of the young man named Song Zhichao and greeting him, with a bright smile on his face, as if he had found some treasure, such a bright smile he had never seen on his face.
For a moment, Jiang Haoran was stunned.
Jiang Yu and Bao Manting were also stunned.
once satirized Song Zhichao, and those who looked down on him were also stunned.
Even Yan Susu, who was beside Song Zhichao, was stunned.
Everyone watched in amazement at the dramatic scene, wondering what was going on.
Looking at Song Zhichao again, he smiled at Wangcha and said: "Your Excellency Mayor is polite! I have only been in Pattaya for a few days, and I still remember the picture of Your Excellency washing the dust for me that day." ”
After a pause, he said, "I just came here with my friends today, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"Your friend, who is it?" Wangcha's oily fat face turned around, and then he saw Yan Susu standing beside Song Zhichao.
"This is your friend...... Mayor Wangcha looked Yan Susu up and down, and immediately praised: "Sure enough, she is a big beauty, and only an elite talent like Mr. Song is worthy of such a beauty!"
Yan Susu was a little at a loss in the face of the sudden compliment, but she soon calmed down and took the initiative to shake hands with Mayor Wangcha.
The eyeballs of the people next to him fell out.
Especially that Bao Manting, who breathed fire in her jealous eyes at the moment.
How could Mayor Wangcha be an ordinary person, what an honor it was to be praised by him like this, that position should have belonged to him, but now......
As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Haoran didn't care so much, seeing that Song Zhichao and Yan Susu, who were not treated by him before, suddenly became the sweetheart in the eyes of Mayor Wangcha, he immediately lost no time in saying: "Hello, Lord Mayor, in fact, Mr. Song and Miss Yan are both guests invited by our Jiang Yu--- by the way, this Miss Yan is still a classmate with our Manting, and the two have a good relationship!
Jiang Haoran looked at his daughter-in-law, and the meaning was self-evident.
Bao Manting was very aggrieved in her heart, originally she invited Yan Susu to come over to step on her to get angry, but now, in turn, she still wants to slap her, which makes her really unacceptable.
But looking at her father-in-law's stern expression, Bao Manting had to lower her head, walked over and humbly took Yan Susu's hand and said, "Yes, yes, I have always treated Su Su as a relative--- Susu, you have to take more care of it in the future, our Jiang family will rely on you!"
Yan Susu looked at her like this, not knowing what to do.
On the contrary, Song Zhichao smiled on the side and said, "Since this Miss Bao is so sincere, Su Su, you will help in the future, but she is also your classmate, isn't she?"
Yan Susu nodded, which also made Bao Manting breathe a sigh of relief.
The mayor of Wangcha was very happy to see this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, you are the most honored guest of our Pattaya, if Pattaya gets your investment, the future economic achievements will be limitless." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, today I will invite you to enjoy your face and have a meal, what do you think?"
Song Zhichao pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, Wangcha couldn't hide his joy, as if he had won some big prize, and affectionately pulled Song Zhichao's arm and walked towards the private room not far away.
Later, Jiang Haoran saw that the mayor was leaving, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Mayor, look, I ......"
Wangcha seemed to have just remembered him, so he beckoned and said, "Since Mr. Song is your guest, let's come together--- there will be more people!"
glanced at Jiang Yu beside Jiang Haoran again and said, "You can come with you too!"
Jiang Haoran was overjoyed, he was invited by the mayor of Wangcha to say, after all, where is his identity. However, his son Jiang Yu has always been a gentleman, so he was not treated by Wangcha, and if it weren't for Song Zhichao's acquaintance, Wangcha might not have invited him at this time.
Jiang Yu's face was a little gloomy, but his wife Bao Manting was very happy when she heard this, and dragged him to follow, she didn't want to let go of the opportunity to get close to the powerful--- you must know that the Thai hierarchy is very strict, and it is not something that can be squeezed in casually.
It's just that Bao Manting looked at Yan Susu, who was following Song Zhichao and was favored as the heroine, and she was inevitably jealous in her heart, and she couldn't imagine how the other party could climb Song Zhichao's character, and how Song Zhichao became the guest of honor of Mayor Wangcha.
