The meeting place was a high-end business club in the Armani Hotel, Xu Xincheng followed the instructions to the door of the club, and told the customer service manager at the service desk that he was Mr. Nasser's guest, the customer service manager, welcomed him warmly and ushered him into a very luxurious suite.

With a total area of about 160 square meters and a ceiling height of about 4 meters, the suite is divided into two compartments, the first compartment is a relaxation area of about 50 square meters on the left, with a gray leather sofa for eight people in the center, and a meeting area on the right, also about 50 square meters, with a rectangular conference table with a black marble top and eight gray leather chairs in the center.

A second compartment leads through a door, where the dining area is about 60 square meters in size, with a round dining table in pure white marble and eight grey leather chairs in the center. To the southeast, there is a floor-to-ceiling glass window facing the man-made lake where the world's largest musical fountain is located.

Like the hotel rooms, the suite is decorated in black, white and grey, fully demonstrating Armani's design style and philosophy, with luxury hidden in every detail, every piece of furniture such as tables, chairs and sofas, and every decoration such as chandeliers, lamps and vases, all of which are designed, made of materials and workmanship.

Xu Xincheng paced around the suite with great interest, admiring the various exquisite decorations and familiarizing himself with the environment.

About three minutes later, he sat down on the leather sofa in the lounge area and sent a WeChat message to Lucy informing her that he had arrived at the meeting place and confirming that it was the right place, and that he had contacted Mr. Brown, the assistant to the minister. Nasser, and he had confirmed that the group would arrive on time.

Looking at the time again, it was 17:35, and there was still about an hour before the meeting time, he opened the laptop he brought with him and started working.

First, he had to send an email to General Manager Li about the three important tasks that Lucy had assigned on the plane, so that he could know these three things as soon as possible.

It's 21:35 p.m. in China right now, and it's still a Sunday, but, like him, General Manager Li doesn't mind receiving, checking and responding to work emails on the weekend. As long as there is something important at work, as long as there is a need, whether it is a weekend or a holiday, he and General Manager Li can enter the work state at any time.

Within three minutes of the email, he received a reply from General Manager Li: "The email has been read, and it will be implemented and implemented next Monday." ”

Second, he wants to improve the PPT and video he made in Hangzhou last week to introduce Sino-US Xinfei Company and the New Era Industrial Park, and make it into a Chinese-English version, which will be used at the meeting.

I don't know how long I was busy, Xu Xincheng suddenly heard Lucy's voice, "Hi, Steve." ”

He looked up and sat there in amazement, only to see Lucy wearing a black Arabic robe, a black turban on his head, a silk robe and turban as thin as cicada wings, a pure black Hermès bag in his hand, and a pair of black high heels on his feet.

This black robe makes Lucy even more beautiful, elegant, solemn, and adds a touch of exoticism and mystery.

It took about three seconds for him to realize his faux pas, and he quickly got up and greeted Lucy, "Lucy, good evening!

After taking her seat, Lucy smiled slightly and said, "I don't look used to this outfit, doesn't I?"

Xu Xincheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, it's a little." ”

On the way to Dubai, Lucy is dressed in a pure white "Chinese female college student" sunshine outfit, and now she has become a pure black "Arab lady" mysterious outfit, and the contrast between the two is actually not "a little", but "very big, big".

On the way here, he saw several Arab ladies in black robes for the first time, and he felt a little new at the time. Lucy was wearing this black robe, and at first glance, she would think that she was a young and beautiful Arab princess, the most beautiful and beautiful princess in the world.

"This is a sign of respect for the Arabs, especially when meeting with high-ranking government officials, and we should show our respect for Arab culture with the highest courtesy. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded, he knew this, and it can be seen from the news that when the leaders of other countries visit the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries, the wives and female officials accompanying them will wear headscarves, and the accompanying female translators, female reporters and other ladies will also wear headscarves, and if the visiting ladies wear black robes all over their bodies, it is the highest etiquette.

At this moment, he saw a young man in a white robe about 30 years old being ushered in by the customer service manager just now. Nasser。 Just after the phone call, the two added Facebook and LinkedIn to each other, and saw each other's faces on Facebook.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly got up and walked to the door, warmly greeted and shook hands with him, and exchanged business cards with him. His business card was printed on Wednesday, and after the final plan for the VI system and logo was determined on Monday, he arranged for the administration department to print the business card for everyone.

He and Mr. Nasser exchanged a few pleasantries, then led him to Lucy and introduced him to her.

Mr. Nasser warmly greeted and shook hands with Lucy and said that the Minister of Economy, Deputy Minister and the head of the exhibition would arrive soon.

Less than two minutes later, three men, also dressed in white robes, walked into the room.

The one at the front should be about 60 years old, medium height, slightly fat, round face, kind eyebrows, and a lovely smile.

Mr. Nasser respectfully introduced, "Lady Lucy, this is Mr. Mansouri, the Minister of Economy. Mr. Minister，this is Lady Lucy， the President of XinFei.” ("Lady Lucy, this is Mr. Mansouri, Minister of Economy.") Mr. Minister, this is Lady Lucy, the chairman of Xinfei. ”）

To everyone's surprise, Lucy greeted him in fluent Arabic.

This surprised Xu Xincheng, who was standing aside.

Arabic is one of the eight major languages in the world, but there are very few non-Arabs in the world who are willing to take the time to learn it, and even fewer who can learn it so fluently.

The four Dubai officials, who were already very enthusiastic, were overjoyed to see Lucy wearing a black Arabic robe and speaking such fluent Arabic, and the atmosphere immediately became very friendly and warm.

Lucy introduced Xu Xincheng to the minister in English, and the minister greeted him cordially: "Hi, Steve, it's a pleasure to meet you." ("Hello, Steve, it's been a pleasure to meet you.") He stretched out his hand to shake his hand as he spoke.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly took two steps forward, shook hands with him politely, and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Minister, it's an honor to meet you." ("It is an honour to meet you, Mr. Minister. ”）

The minister personally introduced the deputy minister and the person in charge of the exhibition to them, and everyone shook hands in turn, exchanged greetings, and presented each other with business cards.

The six of them took their seats on leather sofas in the lounge area, and Lucy continued to talk to them in Arabic, and the four Dubai officials were in high spirits and had a good chat.
