Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Age Difference
Cadre building in the residential area of the Huaxia Bureau of Foreign Experts
"Dad...... I'd like to discuss something with you......"
What appeared at the door of the study room was Shi Linghua, the executive vice president of Youyi Hotel and the holder of a doctorate degree from Columbia Business School.
A jet-black hair falls to her waist like a waterfall, and she is wearing a cotton printed pajamas, and the fragrance after bathing makes the 34-year-old beauty look delicate, like a beauty in her twenties.
"Hmm...... What's wrong? Are you still worried about the performance of the hotel, don't feel that the hotel's performance loss in the first three quarters is all your responsibility.
Youyi Hotel is a four-star foreign-related hotel serving the state, which was originally a guest house in the western suburbs of the State Council, which was built to solve the problem of Lao Maozi experts staying in Beijing.
When I built it, I didn't think it could make money, it was originally a public institution with financial allocation, you did a good job in the past two years, the original hotel had to lose millions of dollars a year, and now it can be close to flat to a slight loss, which is a great achievement! ”
In the study, who was reading Wen Jiàn with reading glasses, it was Shi Linghua's father Shi Wuji, the 57-year-old executive deputy director of the Huaxia Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs, and a serious deputy ministerial-level cadre.
Of course, there is news that before the end of the year, Shi Wuji will be the best candidate to take over the director of the expert bureau, in that case, at least until the age of 65.
If you can't get up to this hurdle, you are likely to stop at the position of deputy minister, and at most you will have to retire at the age of 62.
"Dad, remember what I mentioned to you, the foreman at the front desk has a little money? He is an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, not only graduated with excellent undergraduate grades, but also taught himself six Chinese languages.
English, Japanese, French and Russian are proficient in that maître dress, ......."
Shi Linghua decided to adopt a roundabout tactic, and it was no less difficult to convince his father than to turn the performance of Youyi Hotel into a profit......
The burden of history is so heavy that the salary and health care of retirees alone is a huge burden.
"Small money? Oh, a little impression, at the beginning, you praised her as a very capable subordinate, and then ...... Didn't you switch jobs to a private enterprise later?
I said you, usually do not pay close attention to the ideological education of employees, although you are the executive deputy general manager in charge of hotel operations, the economy must have the guarantee of spiritual civilization.
It is also not possible to throw all ideological and moral education to the party committee! Shi Wuji has three children, the eldest son is a counselor at an embassy in Eastern Europe, and the second daughter is a representative of Huaxia to UNESCO.
Only the youngest daughter, Shi Linghua, was called back by the old man to work in Youyi Hotel after graduating from university and getting a doctorate.
"What? Do you want to dig that little money back from private enterprises? I am responsible for this matter, I didn't support you enough at the beginning, and Lao Lei's temper was so stubborn.
I think he will retire at the end of the year, and he can't refute the old director's face for the promotion of a foreman......" Shi Wuji remembered the original public case, and he still feels a headache.
Lao Lei, everything is good, it is to protect the short, a few boys of the Lei family, relying on the identity of the second generation, are used to walking sideways in the subordinate units of the Bureau of Foreign Experts.
Before Shi Linghua took charge of the hotel, those few gentlemen did a lot of things that were not in tune, but in the name of talking about friends, they harmed many young and beautiful waiters.
But she touched a nose on the little money foreman, and even, the girl dared to call 110 to call the police to come to the guest room to catch gambling and prostitution, in this way, wouldn't that offend people to death?
Not to mention promotion, being able to continue to be a foreman at the front desk is already the bottom line protected by Shi Linghua.
"Dad...... Xiao Qian is now doing a good job in Yelin Company, and the young boss bought a high-standard apartment building to make a foreign-related hotel-style apartment.
There are 13 million assets alone, and it has been officially opened and operated not long ago, and the occupancy rate has soared, saying that it has exceeded 85%, and the monthly revenue is 4 or 500,000.
Two to three years can recover the investment, Xiaoqian is now the general manager, the annual salary is 200,000 yuan, the Audi 100 is driven, and the company provides 47 square meters of finely decorated 1 bedroom for free, full elevator room, how can people come back? ”
Shi Linghua walked to the coffee table, picked up a cleaned plow, peeled the skin for his father, and gave a general introduction to the situation of Yelin Company, and his words inevitably revealed a little envy.
"This Jiangye Forest is not simple...... If you can train the foreman to become the general manager of the serviced apartment, you have to have a little vision, what about the investment of 13 million......
With an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, the average white-collar worker of a foreign company can't get this salary, how? Let me tell you, foreign enterprises, joint ventures and private enterprises are not the same thing as our state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, and they cannot be compared.
If you want to compare, I, a deputy ministerial-level cadre, have no face to see people, and my annual salary is not as good as a month's for others! When you returned to China, I made it clear to you......"
Shi Wuji put down the text in his hand, and looked at his daughter's eyes with doubts and puzzlement, at the beginning, Yankee's investment banks, five-star hotels and banks had shaken an olive branch to Shi Linghua.
Columbia University's business school is ranked among the top five in the United States, and it is not difficult to find a high salary in a foreign company after coming out, not to mention that my daughter still has a doctorate!
It's not too difficult to stay in school as a teacher, today, what's wrong with this girl, swallow and spit out?
"Dad...... I don't regret returning to China to serve my parents and serve the country, if I want to go to a foreign company, I need to return to China, Sue God and Humane both sent me an offer.
The supervisor also insisted that I stay as a teaching assistant, saying that I would be allowed to evaluate the professor to a tenured faculty member within 5 years......"
Shi Linghua cut the peeled sweet plow in his hand into small petals, put it in the crystal tray, inserted a silver fruit fork, and handed it to his father.
"Cut, that's still reasonable for you, your doctoral supervisor is a big academic master, and his private life is not very scrupulous, people in their 40s have been married and divorced several times, there are a lot of lovers outside, and scandals are flying all over the sky.
What kind of teaching assistant do you want to stay in school, I can rest assured that it's strange! By the way, your mother went early, and Aunt Wei introduced you to the object, why didn't anyone look at it, 34 years old, and there were all those who were grandmothers and grandmothers in the old society! ”
Shi Wuji's wife went early, and his current wife is from the art troupe, fifteen years younger than himself.
"Dad...... It's not that you don't know, although your daughter's vision is not too high, but those children of domestic families and gentlemen, I can afford goosebumps when I talk to them, and my eyes are not right.
Besides, there are a few men at my age who haven't started a family and have a lot of girlfriends outside who are messing around all day long, or they are divorced, second and third married, young, and have no experience and vision in the city, so boring, don't mention it! ”
A Kochi beauty like Shi Linghua, if you want to say that ordinary men make themselves tempted, at least I haven't met anyone like this in the past 34 years.
When I was studying for a PhD at Columbia University. , there are a few suitors who are not bad, but they either have wives, or drag oil bottles with babies.
Either they are divorced and widowed one round older than themselves or even more, in short, there is no master that Shi Linghua can fall in love with at first sight.
After returning to China, as a single beauty boss of a foreign-related four-star hotel, there are more people who pursue it, but Su zhì is even more uneven.
The businessmen of Hong Kong Island Treasure Island, the so-called elite second generation in China, and the white-collar workers of foreign companies, all the men who have seen the beautiful boss of the flower of Youyi Hotel.
Many people covet her beauty and talent, but without exception, they all touch a gray nose, talking about work is definitely talking about laughter, talking about feelings is cold as frost, and there is no need to talk about it!
"I said, girl, why are you a little weird today? What else can't you say in front of your dad? Okay, as long as Xiao Qian is willing to return to Youyi Hotel, then promote her to be the customer service manager!
Lao Lei's work, I'll do it! That's all right, right? Shi Wuji put down the fruit fork in his hand, took a towel from the tray and wiped his mouth, and looked at his daughter with a concerned expression.
Shi Linghua's eyes rolled, and she finally made up her mind, a layer of blush appeared on her face, and her voice twisted like a mosquito,
"Dad, actually, my daughter has recently fallen in love with someone......"
"Aha? That's a good thing! Why didn't you tell me earlier, whose child is it, how old is it and which school graduated, what kind of work is there now, and how did you know each other? ”
Shi Wuji was overjoyed, grabbed the old girl's hand, and asked eagerly.
"Uh...... Dad, I remember when Aunt Wei entered the door, Dad, you said that in front of feelings, age and identity are not a problem, am I not wrong? At that time, Aunt Wei was only 28 years old, 15 years younger than you! Shi Linghua said cautiously.
"Huh? How does this work? The age difference between the two of you is 15 years? You're not talking about that dandy old guy at Columbia, are you? I can't say yes! ”
Shi Wuji was a little petrified for a while, but the director didn't expect that the age gap between the two parties when he was married for the second time would now be used as a shield by his daughter, which one is this?
What parent wants their daughter to marry a man who is 15 years older than her?
"No, oh, Dad, what do you say! How can there be such a thing! Shi Ling Hua Xiafei had her cheeks and turned her back in disgust.
"Could it be the second generation of that family on Hong Kong Island, that guy is not a thing, there are a lot of illegitimate children outside, a lot of two bedrooms and three bedrooms, this kind of person will send flowers to the hotel next time, you will throw them directly to me!"
Shi Wuji pounded on the armrest of the sofa, which was a bit like going berserk.
"No, Dad, can your daughter look down on a man you can't even look down on? Anyway, we're also people who have received PhDs from Columbia Business School......
Three-legged frogs are less visible, and two-legged so-called industry elites are much more visible! Shi Linghua was coquettish.
"Then don't let my dad guess the riddle, I want to see who is sacred, and actually let the daughter of the old Shi family move her heart, I can tell you, it's just three years older than you......
No matter how big it is, you can't pass my level, let alone me, even your Aunt Wei can't agree! Shi Wuji was in a hurry, urging his daughter to hurry up!
"Dad, I now believe that the gap in age, status, and education in the face of feelings is all nonsense, but don't worry, it's ...... We're a little bit different in age.
He's 9 years younger than me, just 24 years old this year, and he just had his birthday not long ago, so he must be 25 years old, right, my birthday is in December, and I'm only 33 years old at this time.
In this way, he is only 8 years younger than me......" Shi Linghua was bold enough to solve the mystery.
"24 years old? Are you talking about Jiang Yelin, the young boss of Yelin's company? Shi Wuji felt that things were a little unexpected!
