Du Qiu's prediction was not wrong, since November 9, he has entered an extremely busy state, every day is either in a meeting, or on the way to a meeting, even after following the delegation to South Korea on November 13, he is not at ease, and the daily international long-distance telephone bill is measured in "thousands".

Once people get busy, time flies very quickly, Du Qiu told Secretary Lu to go back in 10 days, but when he was busy with everything and returned to Cloud City, it was already the evening of December 22, and the end of 1995 was close at hand.

"Little brother, get up, it's 8 o'clock. ”

"Sister, you're so annoying, let me sleep for a while. ”

Since the "sister and brother reunion" with Du Qiu, Du Chunhua saw him so lazy in the morning for the first time, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Haven't you always bragged about your energy and never get tired? ”

"What a month, it's a month and a half!" Du Qiu wrapped himself in the quilt and turned over, and said nonsense: "And I am busy with major matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood, shouldering the expectations of countless people, trembling, walking on thin ice, busy for one month is equivalent to ten years of busy others, besides, even if it is a perpetual motion machine, it needs to rest and maintain for a few days every once in a while." ”

"Alright, alright, you go back to sleep. Du Chunhua patted the quilt lightly and said, "I'm going to send Jinyan to the Children's Palace for martial arts lessons, there are soup dumplings you like to eat in the kitchen, and you can warm it up when you get up." ”

"Then I'd better get up, xiaolongbao is not delicious when it is cold and hot. ”

Du Qiu just enjoyed the cozy and leisurely atmosphere at home, but in fact, he didn't feel sleepy, and quickly got up and took out a gray turtleneck and a black woolen windbreaker from the closet.

Du Chunhua saw that the clothes were more business-style, and asked: "You only came back last night, and today is Saturday, do you still have to go to work in the company?"

"I fooled a few talents from the capital, and today I took them to visit the Lotus Garden Hotel to feel the living and living environment of Yuncheng, and if they are satisfied, they can dig it up. ”

"The Lotus Garden Hotel hasn't been renovated yet, right?"

"No, but these people won't be able to join until June or July next year, and they will definitely be able to do well by then. ”

At this time, Lin Jinyan ran in with a plastic golden hoop stick, urging Du Chunhua to hurry to the Children's Palace, Du Qiu picked him up and was about to kiss him, but he didn't expect this guy to use the golden hoop stick to push left and right, and said in disgust: "Uncle, you didn't brush your teeth, I don't want you to kiss!"

You damn......

Who rarely kisses himself......

Du Qiu used the pillow as a weapon, teasing herself for a while, and then was driven to wash by her own mother, she reminded before leaving: "Little brother, I drove away from the BMW, and the car that Dawei bought for you is parked in the newly built garage at the entrance of the community, and the key is in the box on the shoe cabinet." ”

"Got it. ”

After eating breakfast leisurely at home alone, Du Qiu called Bai Jie to confirm that she was already in the Lianyuan Hotel, so he found two sets of car keys from the glove box on the shoe cabinet, walked to the door of the community, and found a temporary garage built with light steel prefabricated houses near the guard room.

There are three newly bought cars parked in the garage, one is a Porsche 911 Carrera for everyday use, and the other is a Jaguar XJ for business trips V12, there is also a second-hand Toyota AE86 to meet the feelings, AE86 is purely for collection, Du Qiu is not ready to drive out, between Porsche and Jaguar back and forth after admiring and tangling for a while, finally chose Porsche 911, because it has a specially customized racing style paint, the white body is sprayed with smooth red, blue, yellow and green color strips, elegant and flamboyant, and has a fatal attraction to anyone who loves cars.

Lotus Garden Hotel is not far from Jingui Garden, only seven or eight minutes by car, but the ancients said well, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes night walking, Du Qiu can not avoid vulgarity, in order to satisfy vanity, deliberately from the center of the Yangtze River Road around a circle, ran nearly twice the distance.

"Look at that sports car, it's beautiful!"

"It must be Du Qiu who is back, no one else in Yuncheng can afford this kind of sports car except him. ”

"Who said that those executives of Snapdragon all have shares worth millions and can definitely afford to buy them. ”

"This car is useless, even if those executives can afford to buy it, they are reluctant to spend this kind of unjust money, only Du Qiu is rich and rich, and he buys millions of luxury cars as toys casually. ”

"If I had such an awesome car, the girls in Quanyun City would soak whoever they wanted......"

"Don't dream, your monthly salary may not be enough for a day's gasoline money, hurry up and work for me!"

In the envy, jealousy and hatred of the people who eat melons along the way, Du Qiu drove to a low building surrounded by walls and trees, and found the entrance after going around half a circle, the entrance is very narrow, only three or four people can be accommodated side by side, but it is very distinctive, it is a very Chinese classical architectural style of the eaves gatehouse, in the middle hangs the plaque with the four big characters of "Lotus Garden Hotel", and there is a stone lion squatting on the left and right sides.

Du Qiu saw that Bai Jie had arrived, and stood under the plaque in a goose-yellow down jacket waiting for him, so he parked his Porsche next to the stone lion, let go of the steering wheel with some reluctance, got out of the car and asked, "Is it all arranged?"

Bai Jie knew that he didn't like red tape, so there was no polite greeting, so he talked directly about business and introduced: "It's arranged, I have renovated a set of model houses in Building 2 and Building 5, the house in Building 5 is about 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, suitable for couples without children, and the house in Building 9 is about 110 square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room, suitable for families with children." ”

"Bai Yuquan, when are they coming?"

"I just called Manager Bai and he said he was already on the road and would be there in 5 minutes at most. ”

After Du Qiu recruited Bai Jie as a personal business assistant, the first job she gave her was to acquire a hotel with better conditions in Yuncheng or purchase a commercial building as a whole, as a temporary dormitory for senior employees of Snapdragon, to increase the company's attractiveness in social recruitment, because most of the talents recruited by the society have already started a family, and it is impossible to squeeze the dormitory of Sanjiang University like fresh graduates, and building a house can not be completed overnight, and the high-end residential area on the botanical garden will not be delivered until at least three or four years later, so there needs to be a temporary place to settle。

Bai Jie in the five-star hotel for many years as a manager, the vision is very good, after some investigation, soon selected the Lotus Garden Hotel, here was originally the late Qing Dynasty a large landlord's private house, after the death of the big landlord, the two sons made a fuss, the fight is inextricable, the house was dismantled into two pieces, and later after the mediation of the masters, and reconciled, but the two have been seriously injured, there is no money to repair the house to one, so in the middle of digging a big pool, planted with lotus, to brother harmony, blood connection as the reason, it is named the lotus garden, it is a beautiful talk, is a famous folk allusion in Yuncheng。

During the Anti-Japanese War, the main building of the Lotus Garden was destroyed by aircraft bombing, only part of the rockery and verandah remained, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang built more than a dozen small reinforced concrete buildings on the original site, as the dormitory of the provincial government officials, after the liberation, it was transformed into the municipal government guest house, in the sixties and seventies has been the designated residence of officials who came to Yuncheng for research or temporary service.

In 1990, a businessman with a background contracted the guest house, renamed it the Lotus Garden Hotel, because of the beautiful environment, the location is excellent, the business was once very prosperous, but the good times did not last long, in 1993 the businessman's backstage fell, he also followed in, due to the complexity of the case, the involvement is wide, the interests of many parties are entangled, the hotel was forced to close down by the court.

Because it was originally a dormitory, it was nominally a hotel, in fact, the structure of the house was similar to that of ordinary residences, after renovation and redecoration, it was no worse than the newly built commercial housing in the 90s, and it was very attractive to high-end talents, and it was located in a prosperous area of the city, with excellent location, complete supporting facilities around, schools and hospitals were the best in the province, and the potential for land appreciation in the future was also very large, so Du Qiu listened to Bai Jie's suggestion and immediately bought it.

After the Internet conference, Du Qiu was very popular in the political and business circles of Yuncheng, and he was willing to spend money, Bai Jie used his resources to quickly settle the interests of all parties, not only successfully won the ownership of the hotel, but also completed the approval procedures for future reconstruction and expansion.

"The four words of Lianyuan Hotel on the plaque are really ugly, who wrote them?"

"The former director of the Provincial Department of Finance wrote that the hotel was closed after he fell, so the plaque has been hung on it and has not been processed. Bai Jie patted his ass without a trace, and proposed: "Why don't I tear it down and Mr. Du write a new one?"

"If I dare to write an inscription in a public place, my dad will have to break my hand. Du Qiu smiled, looked up at the gatehouse for a while, and then said: "This place used to be called the Lotus Garden, and there should be a stone carving of the name of the garden on the gatehouse. ”

"Okay. ”

"These two things should have been made by the contractor before, right?" Du Qiu kicked the stone lion on the left side of the gatehouse with his foot, and said, "It's not decent to put it here, let's move it away as well." ”

"I'll have someone move it later. Bai Jie really knew everything about this place, and said: "There was originally a pair of couplets hanging on these two sides, which is said to have been written by the famous calligrapher Yu Youren of the Republic of China, but unfortunately it was taken away in the 70s, and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”

"yes, that's a shame. ”

The two were chatting, when the mobile phone in Du Qiu's pocket rang, and as soon as he took it out and pressed the answer button, he heard Lu Zijian shouting loudly: "Du Qiu, are you back to Cloud City? I just saw the Porsche that Lin Dawei bought for you on the Yangtze River Road!"

Lu Zijian is the husband of Tan Jingyun, the head teacher of Du Qiu's primary school in his childhood, is a fanatical car fan, he works in the Sanjiang Provincial Construction Investment Company, his family has a military background, Bai Jie borrowed some of his resources when he bought the Lianyuan Hotel, so Du Qiu was very affectionate, and said with a smile: "I just came back last night, this will be in the Lianyuan Hotel, do you want to come?"

"Don't move there, I'll go over at once. ”

As soon as Lu Zijian's phone hung up, a bus with the Snapdragon logo on its body turned in from the intersection, and after it stopped, more than a dozen people came down in turn, including men and women, old and young, it was Du Qiu who came to visit Cloud City from the capital and their families.
