China World Hotel is a five-star hotel jointly invested and built by Xinguang Property Management Center under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and Hong Kong Kerry Development Company Limited, a subsidiary of Kuok Brothers Group in Malaysia.

Since its official opening the year before last, it has received several heads of state and government, as well as dozens of international events such as high-level government affairs, business and large-scale conferences, and is known as the "Second State Guesthouse".

The lobby lounge on the first floor, where international classical music is played every day, is an ideal place for business negotiations, casual meetings, tea and cocktails.

Today is the weekend, afternoon tea accompanied by 12 orchestral music, elegant music and gorgeous atmosphere, a girl in her twenties and a female foreign guest in her thirties are enjoying a refreshing drink and enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window.

The girl has long hair and a shawl, wears an elegant dress, a standard melon seed face, especially the pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, bright as stars, between a smile and a smile, the elegant charm is naturally revealed, beautiful like a lyric poem; The female foreign guest has short spiritual hair, a white shirt on the upper body, and a pair of jeans on the bottom, whether it is measured by the aesthetics of Chinese or foreigners, it is not beautiful, and she looks like an ordinary traveler.

This strange combination has attracted a lot of people's attention.

As soon as they sat down, they were accosted by well-dressed business people of different skin tones. But before they could get to the two of them, a Chinese man in his thirties stood up from the café next to them and politely asked them not to disturb the two ladies for afternoon tea.

It's not ordinary people who can stay here, and those who always have bodyguards around them can't be easily provoked, after a few restless gringos were blocked back. No one wants to touch a soft nail anymore.

The trip to Xichuan that just ended was very meaningful. Former colleagues and children saw her as if they were relatives. That kind of heartfelt welcome made Xia Yao feel like he was back at home.

However, there is no banquet in the world, and before I could teach Principal Lu and several other teachers how to use the computer, a month passed unconsciously.

When parting, the children cried, she also cried, and even Magdalena, whose son was far away in Germany, was touched by the scene and cried in a daze.

She said it when she was in St. Petersburg. If you have the opportunity to come to China, you must go to see the Great Wall, you have been together for so long, Xia Yao has already regarded her as a family member, of course, to meet her easily fulfilled wish. I made a phone call to my mother-in-law in Hong Kong and the SAR, and I flew to BJ.

From the most remote, backward, and impoverished ravines to the bustling metropolis at once, especially sitting in such a luxurious hotel lobby, Magdalena felt a lot of emotion, put down her glass and said, "It's unbelievable, it's like going to another country." ”

Xia Yao secretly sighed and explained lightly: "China is too big. It's the equivalent of most of Europe, and the economy is already very backward. It's impossible to make everyone rich all at once. ”

East Germany was only backward relative to West Germany, and at the same time there was not as large a gap between rich and poor as China, and even in the most difficult years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the average standard of living of East Germans was much higher than that of China.

Compared with the former socialist brothers and sisters, Magdalena suddenly found that she was very lucky, and couldn't help but smile: "Xia, you and Mr. Zhang undoubtedly belong to the group of people who got rich first, as well as those Chinese company colleagues in the office building opposite. ”

With the emergence of the uninvited guest Tengxi, the group headquarters has made a series of adjustments to the development strategy of Chinese companies. The headquarters of the Chinese company will be moved to Hujiang as originally planned, but the office of Nanguo Building will not be abolished, and a branch office will be set up in BJ, the political and cultural center of China.

President Li Xiaoshan is based in Hujiang, Vice President Hu Meiqi is based in the Special Economic Zone, and Song Jia, who has just been promoted to vice president, is based in BJ as the group's representative, and her office is on the 16th floor of the International Trade Center office building opposite, and she is a neighbor of more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies in China.

Xia Yao didn't want to disturb her work, since she got off the plane the day before yesterday, she only had dinner with her in the hotel, and never went to the "China Representative Office of Hong Kong NB Electric Group Co., Ltd."

NB Electric does not have the habit of sending it, whether it is Liu Siwei, chairman of the board of directors of the group, or the articles of association of the largest shareholder of the group, they don't like those red tape.

And the future proprietress stayed in the hotel next door, not far away, a phone call can be reached in five minutes, and there are two bodyguards by her side, Song Jia really has nothing to worry about, so she simply gave them a car and let them take care of themselves.

Xia Yao glanced up at the International Trade Center Office Building, and was about to say something, when a familiar figure ran over from the outside.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Who is buried today, my grandfather and his comrades-in-arms, have a relationship with Lao Tie, take our family to Babaoshan to see them off, you can't slip away if you want to, so you have to wait for a long time. ”

The person who spoke was the vice president of Xingda Trading Co., Ltd., Xia Yao had just met his friend Tengxi in the Special Economic Zone more than a month ago. I will go back to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning, and after learning that she returned to BJ with Song Jia half a month ago, Xia Yao couldn't help but make a phone call and wanted to invite her to a meal to express her apologies for the poor hospitality in the SAR.

"It's okay, we're idle anyway." Xia Yao motioned to the waiter to take the drink list, and quipped: "I want to drink something, President Tengda." ”

Seeing Magdalena pick up the cup and sit at another table, Tengxi said with a smile: "The boss lady is the boss lady, and even the bodyguards use foreigners." The grade here is so high, I don't even dare to enter the door with my little salary, I haven't been here once, and I don't know what to drink, just like you. ”

Xia Yao smiled and said, "It's all vice presidents, and they're still crying poor." ”

Back to BJ, Tengxi's true nature suddenly appeared, and he said with an indignant face: "Bride, don't say anything vice president in front of me, I will be angry when I mention it." ”

Xia Yao asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"Because your husband is a big liar!"

Tengxi snorted coldly and chattered: "In order to drive me back to BJ, it's a lot of nonsense." What a large company with a registered capital of 5 million US dollars. But it's 500,000 in my hands. Or the yuan! I have to find office space, recruit people, and buy transportation, not to mention that 500,000 or 1 million is not enough, isn't this funny? ”

Xia Yao is not a fool, knowing that there must be a reason for this, he said helplessly: "I don't care about the group's affairs like my eldest sister." Sister Teng, I'm sorry, I really can't help you. ”

Tengxi smiled mysteriously: "It's always okay to teach me a lesson to your husband, right?" ”

"How to teach?"

"Don't go back tomorrow, just stay with me at BJ, I want to get married but don't have a bride, I'm in a hurry to kill him."

Xia Yao was ridiculed, pointed at her nose and scolded with a smile: "It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, you are good, you just want to break up people, and you are not afraid of retribution?" ”

"yes." Tengxi snorted and said, "Forget it, spare him once for your sake." Next time I dare to lie to Miss Ben, I have to teach him a lesson. ”

Xia Yao defended: "Sister Teng, although I don't know how to do business, I know that registered capital and actual working capital are two different things, you must have misunderstood him." ”

"You don't understand, I don't understand it even more than you, if you don't make it clear, it's a lie."

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you."

Xia Yao hurriedly changed the topic, glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "It's only 3 o'clock now, it's too early for dinner, or let's go to the shopping mall opposite, just pick what you want, and I'll apologize to you for him." ”

Tengxi waved his hand, got up and said, "Bride, unlike your husband, I won't let guests go to the shop to steam steamed buns, let alone let guests pay for it." It's not easy for you to come to BJ, you have to let me do my landlord's friendship, let's go, the car is outside, go to the company first, and then take you to eat the most authentic BJ roast duck. ”

"Company?"

"Well," Tengxi nodded his head and said with a worried face: "Your husband doesn't give me conditions, I have to create conditions myself, President Ben has thought about it, and when he makes money and makes a fortune in the future, he will also move the company to Guomao." If you want to rent, rent 17 or 18 floors, let Mr. Song taste the taste of sitting under my feet. ”

Xia Yao was happy, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "If you are ambitious, I will support you spiritually." ”

"It's not a family, you don't enter a family, you say beautiful things like your husband, and there is nothing practical at all."

Although Tengxi said this, he didn't know how enthusiastic his actions were, and turned around to say hello to a man and a woman, one in one and one outside, and the two bodyguards, like sisters who had been reunited after a long absence, and walked out of the hotel with Xia Yao's arm around him.

Xia Yao smiled as he walked: "Didn't he give you 500,000." ”

"That's whether the public money is good or not, as soon as the office building is rented, the car is bought, and the people are recruited, my own salary is gone. Besides, 500,000 is nothing, that is, your pocket money for a few days. ”

"How can I be so extravagant as you say."

"Living in such an expensive place and drinking such an expensive drink, isn't it a luxury?"

"I don't live every day, and I live here by Mr. Song."

"Okay, this is Mr. Song's business, but it's true that you don't treat money as money, right? To be honest, I went to Xichuan this time and donated tens of millions, in fact, I am as difficult as them, and I am a good sister, and I don't know how to donate a hundred or eight hundred yuan to me. ”

"Qian Qian Qian, President Tengda, are you in the eyes of money?"

"So a bunch of poor sisters are counting on me, some want to earn a dowry, some want to earn milk powder money for their children, I can't think of it!"

Xia Yao laughed and trembled, hugged her arm tightly and said, "I don't care about the group's affairs, it's useless to complain to me, I don't want money, and I won't give you my life." ”

The two talked and laughed, and soon walked to the underground parking lot.

The two of them got into a white Santana, the door closed quickly, and Magdalena and Gao Yang, a trainee security guard in the security department of the NB Laboratory Xiangjiang Experimental Center, could only drive the black Audi of Song Jia, the vice president of the Chinese company, and followed closely behind them.

After about ten minutes of driving, two cars stopped in front of a small four-story building. The building is quite old, with a compound at its back, and when you look at the construction style and the soldiers who come in and out, you know that this is the property of a certain army.

The company is being formed, and there is no listing outside.

Walking into the building, the decoration of the hall still retains the style of the last century, with a large magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland on the wall, a circle of brown leather sofas, and two evergreen, earthy yellow wooden front desks standing next to them. The girl in the back looked up at the visitor. Hurriedly got up to greet Tengxi.

There is no elevator. It is only possible to walk up to the fourth floor from the stairs behind the "magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland".

Along the way, Xia Yao noticed that each floor was being renovated, and at least half of the people who were working were soldiers, and one by one they saw Tengxi as if they were ghosts, especially those who were lazy on the third floor, and they were in a hurry for a while, knocking down ladders and knocking over paint cans. Make a ping-pong.

It's so embarrassing, Tengxi glared at them fiercely, and said viciously: "Xiao Dongshan, are you tired of staying in the courtyard, don't want to fuck me out, don't grind foreign work for me here!" ”

"Sister Teng, I just finished painting the cobwebs on the ceiling......"

"I also quibbled, there are guests today, and I don't have time to clean you up, so I took the initiative to go to your administrator to admit my mistake. Sister Lin is also true, a few recruits can't manage it well. ”

The charter was mentioned on the phone. She is a soldier's child, and Xia Yao didn't feel much surprised that she set up the company in the army compound, but she didn't expect her to be so arrogant here.

"Sister Teng, do you give people a salary?"

Tengxi said confidently, "When you are a soldier, you are in charge of food and housing, and you have an allowance every month, what do you want to do with your salary?" Besides, this building is a barracks, I just rented it for a transition, they are working for the troops, not for me, why should I pay them? ”

It sounded like there was some truth, and Xia Yao asked again: "Then how much rent does this building have to pay in a year?" ”

"Including utilities, 8,000 a year. I didn't give anything less, it used to be a guest house, and the business was so bad that I couldn't even earn 8,000 a year. ”

Tengxi pointed to another three-story building outside the window, and then said: "Over there is a club in the courtyard, with a multi-purpose hall, billiards and table tennis, and singing. Every night, the chef of the western restaurant will make more than a dozen side dishes and snacks and put them in the hall, as well as drinks, which is considered a buffet. It's normal for you, but it's trendy here because many people haven't even heard of buffets.

In the future, when customers come over, I will take them to see and see. If you have an annual meeting or do any activity, you can also put it there, which is cheap and convenient. Anyway, I can't talk to Mr. Song, who has a lot of money, and he has just started a business, so he can only do a big business with as much capital as he wants. ”

Such a building only pays 8,000 yuan in rent a year, and even the water and electricity bills are included. I don't give anyone money for my work, and it is estimated that the materials are likely to be public, Xia Yao was completely convinced, and couldn't help blurting out: "Sister Teng, you will definitely make a fortune." ”

"To borrow your auspicious words, if there is really such a day, my sister will also invite you to stay in China World Hotel for a month."

As he was talking, a female officer in her twenties ran out of an office, and when she saw Tengxi, she pointed upstairs and said, "Sister Teng, someone came to smash the field, Lin Jun'er said that harmony is the most important thing in doing business, and she didn't let me call someone, you go up and have a look!" ”

Being bullied to the head, Tengxi was even more faceless, frowning and asking, "What's the way?" ”

"The one in the compound of the Military Training Department, I have seen the one who took the lead, the old man of his family is from Siye, and he is not a person from us."

"What about 602 Hospital?"

The female officer nodded her head and said disdainfully: "Well, no matter how bad the old men are, they are also stirring horses and spoons in a pot, and they are all people in the compound, and they actually dragged their elbows out, helping outsiders to rob us of our business, and I want to give them some color." ”

A woman in her thirties ran out of the office, not wearing a military uniform, and did not look like a soldier, but she spoke with a very aura, crossed her waist and said indignantly: "What kind of business, they are obviously in contact with foreign countries, helping foreigners earn our Chinese's money, when traitors and traitors are still reasonable, we are not afraid of this lawsuit wherever it goes." ”

In the Special Economic Zone for half a month, Song Jia taught a lot, and even asked the personnel of the Ministry of Commerce to compile a thick business guide, seeing that they picked when they touched, and called before touching, Tengxi realized that internal training must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, while signaling them to be a little calm, while saying meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, we are also foreign capital." Lin Jun'er is right, when doing business, harmony should be precious, and you can't make trouble in the city as soon as you encounter something. ”

"Okay, you're the president, and we'll listen to you."

Tengxi smiled apologetically at Xia Yao, and then turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaolan, you help me greet the guests, I'll go up and see what's going on." ”

She went around the south, met a lot of big bosses, and even got the agency of NB Medical, her guests must be small, and there is a foreigner, the two hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Three inside, please, the room has just been installed with air conditioning, come in and cool off." ”

"Thank you."

On her own turf, Xia Yao didn't think that Tengxi would suffer, smiled at her two subordinates, and then turned around and said, "Sister Teng, you are busy, you are busy, leave us alone, anyway, we will leave tomorrow, there is time." ”

In the conference room on the fourth floor, there were three uninvited guests in their thirties, a man and two women.

The "female guest" in the middle was reasoning with Lin Jun, who received them: "Sister Lin, although she hasn't dealt with her much before, she is not an outsider. You go to the sea, we support it, but there is always a first to come, right?

Let's talk about the 602 device, we have been working on it since the year before last. There is no import approval, we help with the activity. It was not easy to get the approval, but we couldn't squeeze out the funds, so we had to help mobilize cadres and workers to raise funds. I don't know how many people I found, I don't know how many calls I made, but you cut me off, and I don't feel comfortable with anyone. ”

From this point of view, Xingda Commerce is a bit of a loss. But shopping malls are like battlefields, who told you to come first and arrive on the battlefield?

According to the agency agreement signed between Tengxi and NB Medical, a "Deep Eyes-100" has a profit margin of more than 400,000 yuan, and Lin Jun doesn't want to give it up like this, so he replied coldly: "Manager Zhang, if you want to say that you are not an outsider, the one who brought you here can barely be counted, what about you, I can't afford to climb high." There are so many hospitals in the place, you can do whatever you want, but don't stretch your hand too long, because the army will not talk about you, even your old man will walk around.
