Chapter Forty-Eight: Meeting Old Love Again
China Shipping, referred to as "Shanghai" or "Shen", is the largest city in China, one of the four municipalities directly under the central government, a national central city in China, an economic and financial center in China, and a prosperous international metropolis.
China Shipping is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, facing the East China Sea in the east, facing Kyushu Island in Japan across the sea, Hangzhou Bay in the south, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the west, forming the "Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle", the largest economic zone in China led by China Shipping. China Overseas is also the most famous industrial and commercial city and international metropolis in China, the largest comprehensive industrial city in China, and also the economic, transportation, science and technology, industry, finance, trade, exhibition and shipping center of China. The total GDP ranks first among Chinese cities. The cargo throughput and container throughput of China Seaport rank first in the world, and it is a good international port along the riverside and coast.
Standing on the streets of Zhonghai City, Li Haoyu felt the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this international metropolis, although Shancheng is also one of the four municipalities directly under the central government in China, but there is still a long way to go to compete with Zhonghai.
Yesterday, Li Haoyu received a reply from IBM, and their small delegation had arrived in Zhonghai last night and was now staying at the Hilton Hotel. Li Haoyu did not dare to slack off, and after talking to Li Yayan and other company executives, he took a passenger plane to Zhonghai Hongqiao Airport early this morning, because he was also unfamiliar with Zhonghai, so no one came to pick him up, and everything had to rely on himself.
Fortunately, the vicinity of the airport is always the favorite place for taxi drivers, so as soon as he got out of the airport terminal, Li Haoyu got into a taxi, reported the name of Shangri-La Hotel, and asked the driver to pull him directly to the door of the hotel.
After booking a presidential suite, Li Haoyu sat on the large sofa in the suite, which allowed Xiaoyu to reply to IBM, directly telling them his hotel and house number, and asking them to come to his room at nine o'clock the next morning to negotiate.
Because of the negotiation in his heart, Li Haoyu got up early the next day, and went directly to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast after moving his muscles in the soft carpet activity in the living room. Although it is also possible to ask the service staff to bring breakfast to the room, Li Haoyu thinks it is better to go for a walk.
After ordering a breakfast in the restaurant, Li Haoyu found a place where no one was waiting for the staff to bring the breakfast.
"Li Haoyu? Why are you here?! Li Haoyu had only been sitting for a few minutes when he heard a voice with some surprise coming from his side.
This sound is so familiar!
This was Li Haoyu's first reaction, he turned his head and saw a handsome girl standing beside him, looking at him in disbelief.
"Tong Dan?"
Seeing this girl, Li Haoyu couldn't help but be a little surprised, he and she had no news of her when they graduated from college more than half a year ago, but they didn't expect to meet her in the Shangri-La Hotel in Zhonghai now.
Is this fate or providence?
However, Li Haoyu himself knows that it has been impossible for him and Tong Dan since graduating from college last year, and now they can only be regarded as ordinary friends when they meet.
"Li Haoyu, is it really you? Why are you here in China Shipping? Tong Dan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his lover in college, but he still asked with a smile.
Li Haoyu pulled the seat next to him away and said, "I only came here yesterday to talk to someone about a small business." Tong Dan, sit down and talk about it. ”
"Tong Dan, who is this?"
Tong Dan was just about to say something, when she heard a voice behind her, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, turned her head and said with a smile: "Junpeng, this is my college classmate, we just met, and we chatted casually." ”
Li Haoyu turned his head sideways to look at the man, he was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, his hair was dyed yellow, and the clothes he was wearing were even more bells and whistles, if it weren't for his oriental face and authentic Chinese, Li Haoyu would have thought that this person was an American hippie.
Next to this young man was a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties, dressed in jewels, and looking like an upstart. She looked at Li Haoyu, saw that he was just wearing a suit without a brand, and she didn't know where Lu Dao was, so she didn't want to look at him more, and said to Tong Dan: "Tong Dan, how many times have I told you, we are rich now, don't get involved with your poor ghost classmates, and lose your identity in vain." ”
Li Haoyu frowned, think about it or forget it, after all, it is Tong Dan's relative, maybe it is still her mother, and it will be over. Shaking his head slightly, he lowered his head and ate his breakfast, not bothering to pay attention to these two people.
The hippie young man named Junpeng seemed to have a bad temper, and when he saw Li Haoyu's expression, he felt that he had been greatly insulted, and sat on the chair of Li Haoyu's table with a strange smile, slapped it on the table and said, "Yo! Boy, do you look like you're crazy? Which way did you get involved? ”
Li Haoyu didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Where am I not doing your business, now this is the Shangri-La Hotel, there are many foreign friends watching, please don't shout so much, you have lost the face of our Chinese people in vain!" ”
Just now by this young man named Junpeng and that aunt made such a fuss, Li Haoyu became the focus of attention in the restaurant, and many guests watched the good show here while eating, with a look of disdain in their eyes.
The young ** angry man named Junpeng was about to stage a full martial arts exercise at the moment, Tong Dan held his hand tightly and said: "Junpeng, don't make trouble, let's go!" He begged the middle-aged woman again: "Mom, you can persuade Junpeng, don't make trouble here!" ”
Tong Dan's mother also didn't have a good impression of Li Haoyu, and felt that this young man was so crazy that she didn't have anything to teach him a lesson, but pulled Tong Dan over and said, "Dandan, don't get involved in their men's affairs." ”
Ding Junpeng laughed angrily, picked up a wine bottle and said menacingly: "Boy, you are crazy with me, and you don't look at which onion you are!" If you don't want to get out of here, kneel down and apologize to me right away, or ......," he said, with a fierce smile on his face.
Seeing that the restaurant was about to stage a full martial arts, the manager of the restaurant hurriedly brought two security guards over in a hurry and drank: "Stop!" ”
Ding Junpeng saw these two tall and powerful security guards, and his heart suddenly became timid, but he didn't want to put down the wine bottle in his hand like this, so he looked at the manager of the restaurant coldly.
Tong Dan smiled bitterly and explained, "Manager, I'm sorry, we and my friend are just joking, don't mind." ”
The manager said with a cold face: "Gentlemen and ladies, I hope there will be no next time, otherwise the three of you will become unwelcome guests of the global chain of Shangri-La hotels!" ”
Turning his head to Li Haoyu and smiling, "Sir, I'm sorry for frightening you, I promise that the same thing won't happen here for the second time." ”
The manager of this restaurant is a man in his forties, wearing a suit and leather shoes that makes people feel that he is a business elite, and his smile also makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he nodded with a smile: "Manager, there is nothing, I also have a certain responsibility in it." ”
The manager said again and again: "Sir, please visit our Shangri-La Hotel if you have the opportunity in the future." After saying a few more words to Li Haoyu, he left with the security guard, and as for Tong Dan, the mother and daughter were ignored gorgeously.
Although Ding Junpeng was not angry in his heart, he didn't want to be thrown out by the hotel security guard, so he glanced at Li Haoyu resentfully and said: "Boy, let's just wait, unless you stay here all the time, I must make your life worse than death, hum!" ”
Li Haoyu frowned, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and this person is not a good person, maybe he will come up with some tricks to deal with him, you have to be careful during this period of time in Zhonghai.
Tong Dan's mother also felt that her old face was almost lost, so she pulled Tong Dan and walked out of the city, Ding Junpeng glared at Li Haoyu and ran away.
Li Haoyu didn't care about them, and began to eat breakfast slowly, and only after almost nine o'clock did he get up and prepare to go back to his room to wait for the arrival of the IBM group.
When passing by the lobby of the hotel, Li Haoyu suddenly found that Tong Dan's mother and daughter and Ding Junpeng were all on the sofa and seemed to be waiting for someone, at this time, a middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly and a suit and leather shoes walked in from outside the hotel, and he was accompanied by a young woman in her early twenties, who seemed to be his secretary.
"Oh, in-laws, you're finally here!" Tong Dan's mother immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and said, and her attitude towards Li Haoyu just now was like two people.
The middle-aged man held his hand with Tong Dan's mother reservedly, and said lightly: "Mother-in-law, you have been waiting here for a long time." ”
Tong Dan's mother was flattered, and said that she didn't dare, and at this time, Tong Dan and Ding Junpeng came up to greet her. Tong Dan lowered his head and said, "Hello Uncle Ding." Ding Junpeng looked like a hanger, and said angrily: "Dad, why didn't you come earlier, your son and I were almost beaten just now!" ”
Ding Junpeng's father, Ding Qichen, immediately frowned and said, "Junpeng, why are you fighting with others again?" He knew his youngest son very well, and he knew his son as well as his father.
Ding Junpeng said wrongfully: "Dad, this time someone else wants to beat me for no reason, I didn't provoke him, it's that kid!" As he spoke, he pointed to Li Haoyu, who was about to leave.
