Chapter 312: Breakfast
On March 7, the senior management of various departments of Chongguang Company will gather in Puhai to hold a business summary and plan meeting for the 95-96 fiscal year in the conference hall of the Peace Hotel.
The business suites of the Peace Hotel have been booked out in advance by Chongguang Company, and the main leaders of the three major business departments of software, communication and IC have come to Shanghai to attend the meeting.
The reason why we chose to hold this annual meeting in Puhai is, firstly, because with the start of the wafer fab project, Puhai has become an important platform for Chongguang's future business; secondly, because Chongguang's newly purchased land in Beidu is still under planning and construction, and the original land plot is also continuing to reconstruct and expand the project, and there is really no place to use; thirdly, because Chongguang wants to take this opportunity to strengthen communication with Puhai government departments and display its business in this international metropolis in an all-round way, for which it also specially invited city leaders to attend the meeting to observe and express guidanceγ Of course, the so-called guidance is just a formality, and the real purpose is to show the Puhai Municipal Government the muscles of Chongguang.
Hu Yiting naturally couldn't be absent from such an important meeting of the company, so he freshened up and dressed up early in the morning, ready to greet his colleagues who came from Beidu and Hushan on a red-eye flight.
"You also invited the mayor of Puhai? Tong Mu smacked his tongue at the breakfast table.
"Mayor Xu is very familiar with scientific and technological work, and he is an expert in the metallurgical industry, and is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, he led the municipal government delegation to participate in our annual meeting, is to conduct in-depth research on our Chongguang company, to find and explore how the government wants to serve cutting-edge science and technology enterprises an entry point, which is not only a reform of the government functional departments to transform the service mode, but also the honor of our company, is an encouragement to us. β
Tong Mu stuck out his tongue: "Husband, you know a lot, do you have a lot of investment in Pudong?
"Seven or eight billion on the scale. β
Tong Mu was taken aback, she only knew that Chongguang Company's business was getting bigger and bigger, its fame was getting louder and louder, and it was making more and more money, but she never thought that Hu Yiting would be able to make an astronomical amount of seven or eight billion yuan to invest now.
"Where did you get so much money? Hu Yiting, did you rob the bank?"
"The loan, this was finalized when Mr. Jiang came to the company last time he came to inspect the company, and it is a clear statement of the central government's support for our Chongguang company to become bigger and stronger. β
Tong Mu looked at Hu Yiting with a complicated mentality, and stopped talking about gains and losses, and then lowered his head and ate the breakfast on the plate.
The breakfast at the Peace Hotel in Chinachem Court is the top western breakfast buffet in Puhai, there are ten different choices for all kinds of fruit and vegetable salads, Tong Mu put ten spoons of different flavors of salad on a plate, including mango sesame seeds, eggs and watermelon, strawberry and cheese, lettuce and crushed nuts, tomato yogurt, cucumber potato yogurt, shrimp and pineapple, pea cream macaroni, cherry avocado, mushroom cheese, one by one, Tong Mu has eaten half full.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant are open, the white gauze curtains are rolled up high, the whistle of the ship in the distance is low and clear, and the moist river breeze slowly blows into the restaurant, which makes people feel refreshed.
In the center of the restaurant, a long table is covered with snow-white tablecloths, vases filled with flowers and chocolate fountains, all kinds of cheeses and freshly baked bread are artistically piled on the stepped food shelves, becoming hills and woods for guests to choose from, and in the constant temperature glass cabinet on the side, as many as a dozen Western-style dim sum are emitting an attractive luster under the spotlight, yellow yellow, white white, black black, purple purple, red red, blue blue, a dazzling array of people can't help but want to taste them all. Next to the long table is a steaming round kettle filled with steamed red pike crabs, prawns, and even lobsters. At the other end of the long table, there are two waiters standing next to hundreds of thousands of top-notch coffee machines, constantly serving cups of all kinds of rich coffee to the guests who come over.
Tong Mu went to fetch a plate of all kinds of pastries, and said while eating: "The chocolate cake here is really delicious! As he spoke, he scooped up a piece with a spoon and put it in Hu Yiting's mouth.
"I knew that there was such a luxurious free breakfast, and I didn't go to Dahuchun yesterday, Hu Yiting, why didn't you say it earlier, yesterday I told me to go to the restaurant to eat bread and milk, and I thought that the breakfast here was similar to the guest house. I'm going to eat enough today to make up for the meal I wasted yesterday!"
Hu Yiting smiled and took a sip of hot milk: "I will drink some milk and eat some bread in the morning, the croissants here are particularly crispy, just made early in the morning, but they are really not as enjoyable as fried buns." β
Tong Mu squinted and glared at him: "You are the big boss now! There are so many delicious things in front of you, and you have to pretend that you are not used to eating." β
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "I just like to eat meat buns, fried and steamed, isn't it delicious to eat the big pot of spring fried fried that we went to eat yesterday? But I like you to look down on me, but you are still willing to be my wife." β
Tong Mu smiled and glanced at him: "There are not many people here, haven't the hotel guests gotten up yet?"
Hu Yiting ate a croissant and explained: "Only guests staying in the business suites on the executive floor can have breakfast here, and guests in the standard rooms have breakfast at the Jasmine Restaurant, where there is no seafood and there are not so many varieties of salads, cakes and breads." β
"This hotel is really snobbish. Tong Mu lowered his voice.
"Hehehe, I appreciate your contempt full of a sense of justice, but people open hotels to make money, even if the world's richest man Bill Gates comes, if he lives in a single room, he can only go to Jasmine for breakfast in a single room. β
"Hu Yiting, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. β
"Why do you sound so familiar to me? β
"Dad said it. β
"Hehe, I heard more from your mouth than from what Dad said. β
Tong Mu ate the blueberry cream cake with a serious face: "There are still a lot of people in the world who can't eat, what should you do if you can't finish eating so many delicious snacks in this cafeteria?"
"After breakfast, there is a buffet brunch, starting at eleven o'clock, and then served, when there is more meat, barbecue, lobster, oysters and all kinds of sashimi are also up, people will not make a loss-making business, brunch is not free, one person to three hundred and six. β
"How much is a regular business package a day?"
"Isn't there a price in the lobby? β
"No wonder there are foreigners everywhere here, where can ordinary people afford to live? β
"Not everyone can afford to live in foreigners, wife, don't you understand now, you are already a wealthy class. β
"Cut, my money for a concert is not enough to live for two months, Hu Yiting, do you want to say that you are already a wealthy class?"
"My money isn't your money. β
"That's different. β
"What's the difference?"
"Different is different. β
Tong Mu got up as he spoke, and took a pike crab, a few prawns, and a lobster that had been cut from the middle.
"Wife, aren't you afraid of getting fat after eating so much? β
"I don't eat like this every day, although I can't practice here, I always need to press my legs, and it's not the first day that you know that I eat a lot in the morning. β
"Haha, eat more honey, I love to watch you dance. β
"Hmm. Tong Mu smiled sweetly: "I also like to dance, Director Kong said that when I return to Shenzhen, I will find a dance teacher, rehearse a few sets of dance moves used in concerts, and then find a backup dancer." β
"The last time I saw you dance, it was still in the art show, can you still do a one-legged seven-legged turnaround like you did back then?"
Tong Mu covered his mouth and smiled, like Hu Yiting: "You said that I went to the practice room every day at school, not to mention seven weeks, but I can also turn in seventeen weeks...... I was forced to practice ballet by my mother at the age of three, and I did two turns in the second grade of primary school, and easily turned more than 50 laps down, and I didn't feel tired after whipping thirty-six laps, and then the taller I was, the bigger the weight, the more boring, as if I had been beaten with frost, and once my thumb nail was broken and there was a lot of blood, my dad was very distressed, and I quarreled with my mother, saying that I was not allowed to practice anymore, and my mother gave in, saying that no matter how big my chest was, it was not suitable to practice ballet anymore, and I would only think it was dancing and playing in the future...... Anyway, because of dancing, if I don't walk a little bit now, I'll be out of the line......"
After Tong Mu finished talking about his "black history", his face suddenly turned red: "Don't laugh at me." β
"Why am I laughing at you? My dear, you're so amazing, I get dizzy even if my legs hit the ground and I spin three times. β
"Giggles...... Tong Mu's smile trembled: "You won't be dizzy if you stare at it a little, I'll teach you next time." β
"I don't study, you're so powerful, I can't turn you in 20 years. β
"Giggle...... What am I, my mother is amazing, she can turn twenty or thirty times with her hands on her waist, she used to be the chief substitute of the provincial bar, but then she was sent to the Hushan Art Troupe somehow. β
Hu Yiting saw Tong Mu mention her mother, and wisely did not pick up the stubble, knowing that as soon as this topic was discussed, Tong Mu would be depressed every time.
"Give me a bite to eat. Hu Yiting diverted the topic.
So Tong Mu peeled a prawn, dipped some yellow mustard sauce with the white raw prawn meat, and put it in Hu Yiting's mouth.
The two chatted and ate, Tong Mu enjoyed the food here, and the admiring eyes and friendly smiles of the foreigners in the restaurant cast at her, some foreigners here also had young Chinese women around them, and even a few familiar second-rate starlets' pretty faces, although Tong Mu didn't know them, he also knew that these women who made him feel familiar must have been on TV or movies, and their expressions were complicated when they saw Tong Mu, and there was both envy and respect in their eyes. All women who are eager for an upper-class life hope to find a domestic and young rope ladder like Hu Yiting, but the reality is that most of them can only find some foreigners with strong body hair and strong smell, the other party has wives and children abroad, and is old enough to be their father or even grandfather.
Tong Mu asked Hu Yiting: "Is there cream on my face?"
Hu Yiting looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "No." β
"Then why do other people look at us. β
"You're good-looking. β
"Seriously, no kidding, I think they keep looking at us. β
"Don't you like it?"
"It's not, it's just that I'm embarrassed to eat it again. β
Hu Yiting looked at her lovingly and said with a smile: "This location has the best scenery, it is reserved for the residents of the presidential suite, and there have been presidents and heads of state of various countries, even if we don't come to eat, it is empty, since people always have to see what the people who live in the presidential suite look like." β
"I see, no wonder the restaurant manager was so attentive just now, I thought why didn't he greet others and just gave us a seat, so isn't it a shame that I ate so much just now?"
"Women can eat to show that they are diligent, it is a blessing for men, don't you say that this big fish is delicious? I'll bring you another plate back, do you still want pike crabs?"
Tong Mu smiled: "Well, take another plate of that yellow mustard sauce, and the black one and what XO sauce will also have a plate." β
"Yes, my wife. β
