On the second floor of Shanshui Hotel, there is a large banquet hall that can accommodate three or four hundred people, which has been fully covered by Phoenix Culture today. More than 30 round tables were placed in the spacious hall, which still looked very relaxed.

The entire banquet hall has been renovated, and various decorations, red window flowers, and Chinese knots can be seen everywhere. There is a small stage of about 40 square meters in the front, and the background wall of the stage has been replaced with the annual meeting poster designed by Fang Qiao himself. The large-scale spray-painted poster is still in orange tones, and the logos of Phoenix Culture Company, 896 FM and Simalaya are very eye-catching.

The hotel staff is putting the finishing touches on the sound. A table was placed in the middle of the stage, and I don't know what it was on the platform, because the entire table was tightly covered by red silk cloth, and the two bodyguards who followed Fang Qiao to and from work every day stood next to the platform, standing motionless like an iron tower.

In the corner of the background wall of the stage, there is also a red silk cloth covering an area about one person high and two or three meters wide, which is also tightly blocked, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

Many employees have come to the scene early, and they are very curious to look at the two places wrapped in red cloth on the stage, and they want to go up to find out, but when they see the two big men with vigilant eyes, everyone has put away this idea.

Anyway, it will definitely be revealed after the annual meeting starts in a while, so there's no need to look uncomfortable now!

Some employees went to inquire about the familiar personnel who participated in the layout of the venue, but they didn't expect Song Yi's confidentiality work to be very good, whether it was the host or the employees who participated in the layout of the venue, they didn't know what was inside. The arrangement of this part was arranged in advance by Song Yi from outside.

And the host's cross-talk did not even mention the content of the prize, so at a glance, I knew that it was deliberately kept secret.

In fact, this is Fang Yang's special explanation, since he wants to surprise everyone, it will naturally be revealed at the last moment, and this surprise will be maximized. Therefore, except for a few company leaders such as Song Yi and Fang Qiao, everyone else knows nothing about the content of the annual meeting or even the year-end benefits.

And the two bodyguards were also specially arranged on the stage by Fang Qiao after learning the content of the prize, just because he was worried about any accidents.

Fang Qiao attached great importance to this annual meeting, and after lunch, he brought two bodyguards to Zhang Luo's venue. However, Fang Yang was very calm, and stayed in the office all afternoon to make tea with Fang Xu and Finn.

Some employees of Channel 896 were not involved in the CMALAYA project, and many people were attracted by this blockbuster promotional video, and gathered in front of the screen to watch it attentively.

……

When Fang Yang brought Fang Xu and Finn to the banquet site, many employees had already arrived, and they greeted Fang Yang one after another, and Fang Yang also nodded and smiled with them frequently.

Maybe Fang Yang is not a qualified boss, he doesn't interfere in the specific affairs of the company most of the time, but he is definitely a boss who is close enough to the people, and he never has any frame when facing his subordinates.

Fang Yang saw at a glance Fang Qiao, who was directing the staff to adjust the position of a roll-up banner, he smiled slightly, and walked over with Fang Xu and Finn.

Fang Xu shouted loudly from afar:

"Sister!"

Fang Qiaoleng turned her head for a moment, and when she saw Fang Xu, she showed a very surprised expression and said:

"Xiao Xu? When did you get back? ”

"Afternoon! I went directly to your company, you weren't there, I drank tea with Fang Yang all afternoon, and now my stomach is still full of water! Fang Xu said with a big grin.

Fang Qiao glared at Fang Xu with disgust and said:

"You can do it! When you go back to Rongcheng, you don't go home first, but go to have tea with Fang Yang? I'm going to be known by my mother when I turn around, and she doesn't know how she'll count you down! ”

Fang Yang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't know that Fang Xu went directly to the company to find himself after returning from Nanpu. According to common sense, Fang Xu would definitely find a hotel to settle Finn first, then go home to report and come out together in the afternoon.

Therefore, Fang Yang always thought that Fang Xu and the others had arrived in Rongcheng in the morning.

"If you don't say it, how can she know if I don't say it?" Fang Xu said with a smile, "Sister, shouldn't you go to the snitch!" ”

"That's not ......," Fang Qiao said lightly.

Fang Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Sister Qiao, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Fein, an engineer from Hans in Germany, and this time he is building a standardized factory building in my Nanpu field, and he has come to cooperate with our work."

Then Fang Yang introduced Fang Qiao to Finn in German, of course, he did not mention Fang Qiao's prominent status, only said that she was a partner of his cultural company.

There were guests there, and Fang Qiao let Fang Xu go. She smiled gracefully, stretched out her hand, and said in English:

"Hello Mr. Finn!"

Fang Qiao's English is better than Fang Xu, I don't know how many times, and his pronunciation is also very standard. Although Finn's native language is German, his English is okay, but his accent is heavier, and there is no problem in communicating at all, so he shook Fang Qiao's hand very politely, and said in the same English:

"Beautiful Miss Fang, it's my honor to know you."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Fang Qiao smiled lightly.

Fang Yang saw that there was no obstacle to communication between the two, and there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, he must have a lot of things to do at tonight's annual meeting, it is impossible to be by Finn's side all the time to act as a translator for him, since Fang Qiao's English is so good, then this matter will be settled!

Thinking of this, Fang Yang hurriedly said:

"Sister Qiao, there is a glorious and arduous task to be handed over to you tonight!"

"What's the matter?" Fang Qiao asked confusedly.

"Mr. Finn is my invited guest, and his German translator has also gone back for the New Year, I think you can sit with Finn at today's dinner and give him a cameo English translation!" Fang Yang said.

"Huh? I...... Can I? Fang Qiao hesitated.

Without waiting for Fang Yang to speak, Fang Xu said with a smile on the side:

"If you can't, who else can? Sister, I think this task belongs to you! ”

Fang Yang smiled and said directly to Finn in German:

"Finn, I may not be able to stay with you all the time tonight, so let this beautiful Miss Fang be your translator, is it okay?"

Finn was pleasantly surprised:

"Really? That's great! Fang, this Miss Fang is the most beautiful oriental woman I have ever seen! ”

Fang Yang looked at Finn with some vigilance and said:

"Finn, you don't think anything about Sister Qiao, do you? Don't forget that you already have a wife and children in Germany......"

Finn hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, Fang, you misunderstood what I meant, I just appreciate the beauty of Miss Fang...... My love will always be my wife, Natasha! ”

Speaking of this, Finn then frowned and said to Fang Yang:

"And...... Fang, I can see that there must be a lot of stories between you and this beautiful young lady. You have an old saying in China called 'a gentleman does not take the favor of others', besides, we are still friends, don't you often say 'a friend's wife must not be deceived'? So please rest assured......"

Fang Yang looked at Finn with some dumbfoundedness, and only after a while did he murmur in German:

"Finn, I can't imagine that you haven't been in Huaxia for a long time, and you have already learned our slang......"

After speaking, Fang Yang gave Finn a thumbs up, and the two tacitly showed a knowing smile.

Although Fang Qiao is good at English, she has never learned German at all, so she doesn't know what the two of them said, seeing that Fang Yang and Finn have a little strange expressions, she can't help but ask:

"Fang Yang, what are you talking about?"

"Uh...... It's nothing, it's nothing......" Fang Yang hurriedly said, "I told Finn that you were willing to be his English translator, and he asked me to express his gratitude to you, that's all......"

Can't let Fang Qiao know the content of their chat......

Say thank you? Fang Qiaohu glanced at Fang Yang suspiciously, and said in his heart: Won't he tell me in person in English? And the two of them laughed so weirdly, what they just said was definitely not this.

However, Fang Yang was reluctant to say it, and she had no choice.

At this time, Fang Yang also hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Sister Qiao, let's take Mr. Finn over and sit down first!"

Although today is the tail of Phoenix Culture, under Fang Yang's arrangement, there are still some special guests to attend, such as Fan Chunhui, the newly appointed deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Zhou Wen, general manager of the Municipal Radio and Television Group, Lu Mingjun, director of the Management Committee of the Cultural Industry Creative Park, and other leading cadres, as well as several business partners who have in-depth cooperation with Phoenix Culture.

As for Guan Weiping, Kan Xufei and other department-level leaders, Fang Yang was not invited.

First, there is no need for this, the annual meeting was originally a gathering within the company, and Zhou Wen and others were invited because of business connections; Second, at the end of the year, these leaders were also very busy with work such as visiting and condolence, and Fang Yang didn't want to trouble others because of his personal affairs.

The guests had a special table, and Fang Yang and the others walked straight over there. As he walked, Fang Yang asked:

"By the way, Sister Qiao, why do you have to ask about the layout of the venue in person? Where did Xiaoyi go? ”

"He's still here! Answered a phone call and hurried out. Fang Qiao said with a smile.

"This kid, why are you still running out at this time! He's the chief director of tonight's annual meeting! No one can leave him! Fang Yang muttered.

"He should be back soon, he greeted me when he left, saying that he would go to the first floor." Fang Qiao said.

"I think this kid is a little unreliable, Sister Qiao, Fang Xu, you sit with Finn for a while, I'll look around to see if there's anything missing." Fang Yang said.

After speaking, Fang Yang stood up.

At this moment, he saw Song Yi leading a girl into the banquet hall with a smile on his face, wasn't it Bai Xinyu, the general manager of Chutian Culture Rongcheng Branch?

It turns out that this kid picked up his girlfriend! Fang Yang immediately laughed with relief, and also strode up to meet him
