Chapter 294: Innocent Implicated
Bought the shop, the decoration of the matter was put on the agenda, for this branch in Shanghai, the overall decoration style will be the same as the decoration style of several stores in Jincheng, but considering that the two cities of Shanghai and Jincheng belong to different cities in the north and south of China, the two cities are very different in culture and customs, each has its own style, so in the case of the basic overall style unity, this branch in Shanghai will also be decorated in the local integration of some unique cultural styles of Shanghai.
It is not possible to completely copy the style of Jincheng, since they want to add a little cultural style of Shanghai, then Lai Xiaohu and they will definitely not be able to meet this requirement, and Song Yaqiao can only find a professional design company as a last resort.
After finding the design company, Lai Xiaohu first told each other his requirements, and then the three of them even said some of their own opinions, so that the people from the design company could be used as a reference.
Lai Xiaohu's views are basically in line with the characteristics of men and the north, while Song Yaqiao is more inclined to women and southern styles, and some of Ivanka's suggestions may make this store more international in style.
After receiving the deposit paid by Lai Xiaohu, the other company immediately began to arrange personnel to be responsible for the decoration style design of Lai Xiaohu's Shanghai branch.
The decoration cannot be completed in a day or two, so at the same time as the decoration began, Lai Xiaohu also took Ivanka to start his trip to Shanghai.
Of course, it was said that Lai Xiaohu brought it, but in fact, it was Song Yaqiao who brought it, although he has been in Shanghai for so many days, but Lai Xiaohu is really not very familiar with Shanghai. The whole city of Shanghai is so big, even local people may not be completely familiar with the whole city. Not to mention Lai Xiaohu, a foreigner who has not been in Shanghai for a long time.
In fact, strictly speaking, both Hucheng and Jincheng, where Lai Xiaohu worked hard, have the same characteristics, that is, the two cities have not really formed big cities for a long time, especially the time when there are a large number of records.
Compared with the entire 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization and the extent to which the monuments of other cities in the interior are visible, the two cities really can't find anything older than a little modern cultural relics.
However, the two places of the ancient city civilization also have their own characteristics, that is, commercial development. Needless to say, Jincheng is known as the center of economic development in northern China. Not to mention, Shanghai is known as the center of the entire Chinese economy, even in the world, Shanghai also enjoys a huge reputation.
Outsiders from China came to Shanghai. There may be a lot of interest in the large number of Western-style buildings in Shanghai, but these things are completely unnecessary for Ivanka, a Westerner, to go and see. Without looking at these Western-style buildings, Shanghai is just a commercial metropolis for Ivanka.
Shopping is definitely a woman's favorite, even if Ivanka, who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, no longer knows how many big cities in the United States have visited countless commercial streets. However, Ivanka, who came to Shanghai, still has a great interest in Shanghai's commercial streets and other prosperous places.
And it's not just Ivanka who is interested in shopping, even after Song Yaqiao heard that Ivanka wanted to visit Shanghai. also volunteered to join this team.
This is pitiful for Lai Xiaohu. Although he doesn't hate shopping, and even likes to go shopping with beautiful women, if he is allowed to go shopping with a lot of things, then Lai Xiaohu's interest will immediately decrease.
But even so, after Ivanka and Song Yaqiao set off, Lai Xiaohu had to follow behind. Forget it, as a man, who will do this kind of dirty work if you don't do it? Lai Xiaohu, who came back every night with a lot of things, had to think of this in his heart.
It took the three of them a total of three days to visit all the places of interest in Shanghai, and at this time it was getting closer and closer to the end of the year. Not only Song Yaqiao, the financial director in charge of the company, needs to rush back to the head office to deal with the property at the end of the year, but even Lai Xiaohu, the big boss, needs to rush back to approve the company's various companies.
As for this branch in Shanghai, it is still in a state of renovation, and if nothing else, it is unlikely that this store will open before the Lunar New Year.
Not to mention that this store will take about half a month from design to decoration, and even if the decoration is completed, it will be closed for nearly the year, not to mention the recruitment of clerks and other preparations, it is really open, and the opening will be New Year in a few days, so it will have to close the store for a few days, so it will be completely worth the loss.
Before Lai Xiaohu left, Li Gan looked for Lai Xiaohu once, but there was nothing important, that is, he learned that Lai Xiaohu was leaving, so he called Lai Xiaohu over, and the two of them just talked.
I've known each other for so long, and the relationship between the two people has become a bit of an equal generation from the elders and juniors at the beginning, but the relationship between the two people is getting closer and closer. Now Li Gan regards Lai Xiaohu as a junior, and sometimes he regards Lai Xiaohu as a career assistant.
After the two chatted about daily things, Li Gan also inquired about his intention to open a branch in Shanghai before Lai Xiaohu left. Regarding Lai Xiaohu's opening of a branch in Shanghai, Li Qian naturally strongly supported it.
With the relationship between the two people, Li Qian naturally hopes that the business of Lai Xiaohu, a junior, and his friends will get better and bigger. As the mayor of Shanghai, the center of Li Gan's future work is to devote himself to developing the city's economy. Therefore, for Lai Xiaohu's Lejia supermarket, a company that makes huge profits every year, it is naturally also strongly welcomed.
In the first two days after going back, there were indeed a lot of things that Lai Xiaohu needed to approve and inspect personally, and even Song Yaqiao was too busy to find free time.
However, after two days of busyness, after dealing with the backlog of work from a while ago, the burden on Lai Xiaohu's body was suddenly lightened a lot. The main purpose of Zhang Ying to let Lai Xiaohu come back is because there is a lot of work that needs to be checked by Lai Xiaohu before the end of the year, and these things will not take up too much of Lai Xiaohu's time, because many things have been approved by Zhang Ying before. It's just that Lai Xiaohu, the big boss, needs to personally determine it.
With Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao, no matter what work you do, you don't have to worry too much about Lai Xiaohu, but now there are not only two people, but even Ivanka has joined in helping Lai Xiaohu.
Ivanka, who followed Lai Xiaohu back to Jincheng, stayed for two days and found that it was really a bit boring, although there are a lot of interesting places in Jincheng, but Ivanka, who has already visited all the big and small places in Jincheng, is really not much interested in visiting Jincheng again. And although it is possible to go to a farther place, it is really boring if she only goes by herself, and it is obviously impossible for others to accompany her to other places at this time.
Zhang Ying definitely can't leave. As the general manager, Zhang Ying can be said to be the brain of the entire Lejia, without her. Roca had to stop immediately. As for Song Yaqiao, she was much busier than Lai Xiaohu after she came back, and of course she didn't have time to accompany Ivanka.
Lai Xiaohu has a lot of time, but he can only play with Ivanka in Jincheng, and it is a little difficult to go to a distant place, because Zhang Ying directly restricts Lai Xiaohu from leaving Jincheng in order to avoid finding no one when he needs Lai Xiaohu to approve important documents during this critical time.
Watching the people around you work. Ivanka, who was bored alone, could only dispel the idea of going out to play, and instead began to think about helping Lai Xiaohu deal with some things.
In this regard. Ivanka is still very experienced. After all, Ivanka herself has been an executive of a group company in the United States for many years, and she is also the chairman of the jewelry company she founded.
If it weren't for Ivanka, who was an American, although she would be fluent in Chinese by now. I also know a lot about Chinese culture, but I am still not familiar with the business characteristics of most Chinese companies, otherwise it is not impossible to let Ivanka directly replace Zhang Ying as the general manager of the company.
Of course, although Ivanka is not enough to replace Zhang Ying. But Lai Xiaohu can still be competent as a secretary. It is obviously impossible for Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying to set up a position for Ivanka alone, and it is impossible for her to become a regular employee of the company, so wouldn't it be better to have a temporary secretary.
As the saying goes, it's a secretary again, and with Ivanka, an experienced secretary, Lai Xiaohu has less time to really work every day.
He didn't have much to do all day, if it weren't for Zhang Ying not letting him go far away at this time, he might really take Ivanka to travel to other places, and Lai Xiaohu, who couldn't go out, could only vent his time on campus in addition to being bored. At the very least, it would be nice to have fun with the students at school.
Thinking like this, Lai Xiaohu planned to go to school the next day, and he planned that if he had more work in the future, he would deal with work in the company in the morning and go to school. And if there is almost nothing to do at the company, then go to school in the morning, and wait until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon to go to the office to finish the day.
I have to say that there are really not many idle bosses like Lai Xiaohu.
And Lai Xiaohu may not have anything to do if he doesn't go to school, as soon as he arrives at the campus the next day, Zeng Hua, who has a good relationship with Lai Xiaohu, immediately surrounds him.
"Brother Xiaohu, you're finally here." Seeing that Lai Xiaohu, a mysterious figure who had not appeared for a long time, actually appeared, Zeng Hua immediately ran to Lai Xiaohu.
"How? Did you miss me? Seeing Zeng Hua, Lai Xiaohu also said with a rare joke, "It's just that I'm a serious person and don't like men." ”
Men are generally broad-minded, and they don't joke much, and after saying a few jokes, Zeng Hua said, "I miss you a little bit, but I think it's probably not me who misses you the most in our school now." ”
"Oh? Who's that? Lai Xiaohu immediately asked curiously, the first thing he thought of was Yang Ling and Li Momo, the two girls, because he had the best relationship with these two people in school, and he thought that he was most likely to be these two people. However, although his relationship with Li Momo and Yang Ling is not a secret in the school, some people know about it, but this part of the people does not include Zeng Hua's group of classmates. So Lai Xiaohu, who thought of this, immediately excluded the figures of the two people.
"Hehe," before he said, Zeng Hua immediately looked at Lai Xiaohu and said very differently, "That person is also a man." ”
As soon as he heard Zeng Hua say this, Lai Xiaohu was immediately shocked, "Stop, you stop quickly, don't talk about it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll spit out this morning's breakfast." ”
Seeing Lai Xiaohu's painful and disgusting look and wanting to vomit, Zeng Hua finally told the person who was thinking about Lai Xiaohu without joking. "This person is naturally the most popular figure in our school at the moment."
"You mean Gu Jianfeng?" Hearing Zeng Hua say this, Lai Xiaohu immediately remembered who this person was? Although Lai Xiaohu is very legendary, Lai Xiaohu always does not appear on campus for a long time, so everyone admires him very much and is very curious. However, the most talked about in daily life is indeed Gu Jianfeng, who often has sensational rumors in the school.
Although he has only been in the school for less than half a year, Gu Jianfeng has already attracted the attention of many people in the school with his handsome appearance, arrogant attitude, and golden worth.
Originally. There is no intersection between Gu Jianfeng and Lai Xiaohu. The two don't know each other at all, and normally there is no possibility of knowing each other. However, because of a meal, two people who were not implicated were implicated.
Of course, there is no shortage of a key figure in this, this person is Yin Shuirou, Lai Xiaohu's number one class flower in the class now. At the same time, it is also one of the five golden flowers of NTU.
The matter between Gu Jianfeng, a popular figure, and Yin Shuirou, who is one of the five school flowers of the school, naturally has a very high degree of attention in NTU, and there are not a few people who know the relationship between the two people.
After Gu Jianfeng entered NTU, he quickly set his sights on Yin Shuirou, the school girl who used to treat boys with a sense of distance.
Not to mention, relying on a handsome, golden-like appearance. As well as some of the things Gu Jianfeng did at the beginning of entering the school to solve problems for Yin Shuirou, as well as the high quality he pretended to be in front of Yin Shuirou, Gu Jianfeng still made Yin Shuirou feel very moved.
If the Gu Jianfeng presented in front of Yin Shuirou at that time was real, it would be a very good choice for Yin Shuirou to follow Gu Jianfeng. After all, Gu Jianfeng is a year younger than himself, not to mention, and he is still so handsome and golden, and he is even more commendable and empathetic. Such men today are also an extremely scarce resource.
Even if Yin Shuirou didn't have much interest in men at that time, when she first met Gu Jianfeng, who behaved like this in front of her, she inevitably felt a little wave in her heart.
Gu Jianfeng's pursuit of Yin Shuirou, as well as Yin Shuirou's attitude towards Gu Jianfeng, are all seen by many people in NTU, after all, the two of them are too well-known, and it is normal to be noticed in NTU.
When I saw Yin Shuirou, the goddess who didn't treat boys very coldly in the past, she turned a deaf ear to Gu Jianfeng's accosting at the beginning, to being able to chat with Gu Jianfeng, and then to the two of them talking and laughing together, and even being bumped into many times when the two of them were eating in the school's high-end restaurant.
It can be said unceremoniously that according to the progress of the relationship between the two people at that time, many people have begun to calculate in their hearts the time that Yin Shuirou, the school flower, has been in Gu Jianfeng's arms.
At that time, most people's judgment in their hearts about two people was that if nothing else, the two people should come together before the end of this semester.
But the development of the facts made everyone guess the beginning and not the end, at the beginning, the relationship between Gu Jianfeng and Yin Shuirou was indeed progressing very quickly, but when Gu Jianfeng went to give Yin Shuirou a gift again in the middle of last month as usual, there was a divine turn of events.
That is, Yin Shuirou, who used to be happy to give the gift sent by Gu Jianfeng, actually threw a large bouquet of flowers sent by Gu Jianfeng to the ground directly in front of the whole class at that time.
At that time, there were a lot of people who were surprised when this bouquet of flowers fell to the ground, and such a thing was so sudden that it didn't follow the script at all.
Didn't you say that a beautiful woman matched a rich and handsome guy? How did you get here and suddenly take such a turn of the year?
At that time, many people didn't understand, and they didn't understand how Yin Shuirou, who had a good relationship with Gu Jianfeng, could suddenly do such a thing in front of Gu Jianfeng.
Not only did there be other bystanders who didn't understand, but Gu Jianfeng, the party who had lost face, felt even more inexplicable.
Yin Shuirou, who had called him the night before and said that it was effective, why did Yin Shuirou immediately change her attitude so much just after one day? Gu Jianfeng couldn't figure it out, but he had to send someone to figure it out for himself.
It was this matter that implicated Lai Xiaohu, Lai Xiaohu didn't do anything before and after, but he was regarded by Gu Jianfeng as the direct party who made Yin Shuirou's attitude change. (To be continued......)
