Chapter 31 Profound Background
Traffic jams are already commonplace here on Financial Street, even if there are no accidents and red lights, in the face of huge traffic flow, the speed can not be raised, Wang Chaozhi wondered whether to consider changing the office, otherwise it would take half a day to waste half a day on the road to and from work every day.
Finally "moved" to Jinjian International, only to see that this is a high-rise building complex, a total of three ABC, all belong to the category of Jinjian International office buildings, Wang Chao was a little confused, and finally found a parking space, and then got out of the car and took out his mobile phone to dial Zhang Xinyu
"I've arrived, where have you been?"
"It's so fast, I'm still on the road, and I have to go for half an hour."
"It's fast, it's half past nine o'clock, and your eldest lady is late"
"It's okay, just let him wait"
"Alright then, I'll wait for you outside first"
Then hung up the phone, Wang Chao stood in front of the huge fountain in front of the door, absentmindedly admiring the artificial water spray landscape known as a model of Yanjing's combination of Chinese and Western culture.
This fountain has a more chic shape, and it is circulated on the Internet that it also takes feng shui elements into account. It is built according to the direction of the innate eight trigrams, and there are eight groups of water spray devices and spotlights in the pool, which allude to the combination of dry, kan, gen, zhen, Xun, li, kun, and dui, symbolizing the wealth of the eight directions; In the middle of the pool is a three-layer water bowl flowing water copper platform, implying that heaven, earth and man are three talents; At the top is a pool, and in the middle a large ball rotates slowly from west to east under the influence of the current, but at night it turns from east to west, which means to gather wealth.
Bypass the big pool, on both sides of the office building are placed a pair of Pixiu, the dragon head, the body of the horse, the feet of the lin, there is a long beard under the forehead, the two ribs have wings, fierce and mighty, the left side of the mouth opens, the right side of the mouth is closed, the eyes are open angrily, it is also to take its fortune, to avoid evil meaning.
"Wang Chao" was watching, there was a sudden shout in his ear, his left arm was grabbed all of a sudden, Wang Chao subconsciously twisted his legs, and his arm was pulled out as soon as he fell, but at this time it had already been reflected, and then a downwind pulled the flag on the outside of his left hand and pulled the other party over, the action was soft and rigid, and in an instant, the anti-guest was the main thing, and Zhang Xinyu was held in his arms.
"I was shocked, I thought I was robbed," Wang Chao snorted
"Cut, the beauty of thinking, the robbery can only be robbed by this girl", after speaking, Zhang Xinyu put Wang Chao's arm around again and walked towards the building. Today she wore a light yellow long windbreaker, half-length boots under her feet, long hair fluttering, very feminine, her face was light makeup, her eyes were bright, and she smiled smartly, and she looked at Wang Chao a little stunned for a while.
"What are you looking at, I haven't seen it" Seeing Wang Chao looking at himself like a pig brother, he liked to be unforgiving.
In the middle of the lobby is an arc-shaped front desk, in which three young ladies are standing, and when they come in, they politely ask, "How many floors are you going to?" ”
"Seven Floors"
"Oh, it's Miss Zhang, Mr. Lin told you to come over, please take the No. 1 elevator, there are people on it to receive you", said that the girl came out of the front desk, holding a card in her hand, swiped in front of the elevator sensor, the elevator door opened, and then watched the two of them enter.
"Why is this elevator not a button down, but a card?"
"You don't know, this elevator has security measures, to prevent some small advertisements, run insurance around, so you must say the floor and find who it is, of course, if you work here in the future, you can be equipped with an elevator card, directly swipe the card" said while leaning his head on Wang Chao's shoulder, not to mention that the height is really suitable, an increase of one point is high, a decrease of one point is short, it can be said that complement each other.
The elevator clanged, the door slowly opened, and Zhang Xinyu had to take his head off Wang Chao's shoulder, but his arm was still on his shoulder.
"Ask me lightly if you are Miss Zhang, Mr. Lin asked me to accompany you here to see the next room, if you are not satisfied, you can change it again" There is a standard professional woman dressed as OL standing at the elevator door, but unfortunately the only fly in the ointment is that the mouth is a little too red, if the light is dim, it seems that two blood basins move here.
Then he led the two of them to a glass door, took out the key to open it, and then came in sideways, "Look, this is a total of 280 square meters, and there are already two partitions, divided into three parts, if you need to, you can break the partition or remove these two partitions"
"Xiexie, the space is really not small, let's take a look first, by the way, Miss, lightly ask what most of the companies in our building do"
"Most of them are financial in nature, but there are others to do, such as real estate, Internet, international trade or something, but in general it is still involved in finance, after all, there are many major financial institutions here, and it is convenient to do things."
"Oh, haode" Wang Chao turned back and forth, the carpet was laid on the ground, there was no sound when stepping on it, the brown floor-to-ceiling windows, even if the outside light was very sufficient, it would not be dazzling, there was an air purification device above the head, and the air breathed here felt even fresher than the outside, worthy of being a high-end office building, both hardware and software were in place, fully considering the needs of customers, Wang Chao was very satisfied.
"Okay, I've decided to rent here, well, we can go through the formalities"
"Haode, let's go to my office, sign the contract there"
Then the three of them walked to the director's room, and it turned out that this girl was the director, and the office was on the same floor. Pull up the lease contract from the computer, print two copies, and then sign by both parties, the lease period is 5 years, but the following handwritten note: If Party B has the need to end the lease in advance, it can be terminated at any time, it seems that this contract is basically not binding on Wang Chao, which he didn't expect, turned his head to look at Zhang Xinyu, and saw that this girl was looking at herself stupidly, thinking: It is estimated that this is her background again, this girl is not simple.
After signing the contract, the other party took out a business card and handed it to Wang Chao with both hands.
"Mr. Wang, my name is Zhao Yun, this is my business card, if you need anything in your work in the future, please come to me."
"Yo, celebrity, Miss Zhao"
"Hehe, yes, it's stained with the light of the ancients"
While talking to the other party, he handed over the access card and room key to Wang Chao, "Mr. Wang, the elevator is stuck at the front desk, and it has been prepared for you."
Wang Chao expressed his gratitude, and then the two went downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I just got the elevator card at the front desk, and I was about to leave, when I saw a group of people walking in outside the lobby, and the head walked in front of a young man with a proud expression of 30, looking straight ahead, as if there was no one around, and Wang Chao walked face to face. One next to him was saying, "Mr. Iijima, please come here, let's take the No. 2 elevator up", and then took two steps to open the elevator by swiping the card.
Wang Chao disdained in his heart, "Look at that slave, it's embarrassing", and his face showed a look of disdain.
Wang Chao's family is located on the North China Plain, which was occupied by the Japanese puppet army, his grandfather said when he was a child, the two brothers of the family were killed by the Japanese devils, he escaped because he got into the dog hole, and he read the book of the Anti-Japanese War since he was a child, and he had an innate hatred for the islanders, so yesterday he said that there was a Tibetan friend exchange meeting organized by the islanders, and he didn't want to go, but then he also wanted to open it, if there was a real opportunity to clean up this group of islanders, it was also a very happy thing, so I decided to go and see, and then I saw the opportunity to act.
"It's noon, let's go, let's go eat"
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere" said involuntarily, Zhang Xinyu sat in the driver's seat.
The two of them drove the car around and around the road, took a long detour, and came to a small alley, where there was no fixed parking space, so they had to park on the edge of the wall at the mouth of the alley.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Xinyu pulled Wang Chao into the third gate of the alley, a small door with two red lanterns, without any restaurant signs, and it seemed that there were not many people eating here, and there was no sound. After coming in, turning around the shadow wall, a young waiter walked over, saw Zhang Xinyu and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, you are here, how many people are there today", and pushed open the door of the east wing and let the two of them in.
There is no look at the appearance of Iijima here, and the interior decoration of the room is also luxurious, with a round table in the middle, and a palace chandelier standing on it, combining Chinese and Western, and it is also antique.
"Miss Zhang, what are you eating?"
"It's still the same dish as before, it's enough to come up six, and another bottle of Carlsberg, hurry up, I still have something to do in the afternoon"
The waiter agreed, made a pot of tea, and then exited the room and took the side with him.
"This is also a hotel? I didn't see anything to eat, this business is so bad."
"Poor? Have you ever heard that we have a private restaurant in Yanjing, you need to make a reservation in advance, and there is a limit of 10 tables per day, and there are no receptions, and some foreign dignitaries have to make an appointment to eat here"
"Ah, you're talking about Guo Jiacai? Why haven't I heard of it, it's the legendary top private dish, the ancestors of this family made a full banquet for Cixi Lafayette in the Qing Dynasty, and later cooked for President Yuan, and later cooked for the leaders of the G family after the founding of the People's Republic of China, isn't that family?"
"Count you smart, it's this Guo family dish"
"I really didn't expect to be in such a small place, this is a big hidden in the city"
"Small? This small courtyard house is theirs, there was a Hong Kong movie star who paid 30 million and didn't sell it, this is handed down by the ancestors, and it was rewarded by Cixi Lafayette back then, just to cook for the palace. ”
"How dare their family be so rich?"
"People are opening it in order to keep their craft continuous, and it is limited to ten tables a day, and if you don't do more, just these ten tables, each table also has a starting price of 50,000 yuan, so cooking is pure fun for them."
"It's so expensive"
"Don't worry that you won't be able to pay for it, I never ask for money to eat here, hehe"
"You girl, you're talking about me behind your back," a loud voice came to mind outside the door
"It's bad, let Grandpa Gan hear it" said Zhang Xinyu stuck out his tongue, stood up, opened the door, and walked in from the outside A tall old man in his 70s, wearing a Tang suit, and cloth shoes with inline underneath walked steadily, with an extraordinary bearing.
"I heard that you brought a descendant, so come and see, don't think grandpa is in the way" The old man made fun of Zhang Xinyu as soon as he came up.
"Grandpa Guo, if you tease me again, then I won't come in the future"
"Haha, it's better if you don't come, no one will rob me if the Buddha jumps over the wall"
"No, I want to eat" Saying that, Zhang Xinyu grabbed the old man's arm, Wang Chao had already stood up at this time and smiled at the old man, "Hello Grandpa Guo, my name is Wang Chao, it's a pleasure to meet you"
"Yes, the little mouth is very sweet, it looks like this and our Xiaoyu is also quite a match, you should be able to pass the antique level"
"Grandpa Guo, he has seen my grandfather a long time ago, and he is quite speculative, I am now worried that my parents will not have a good time, he is now in business, not in politics, I'm afraid they have opinions, Grandpa Guo, you can help me say a few more good words"
"Dare to wait for me here, okay, as long as the girl can take a fancy to you, I will do the work of the two of them, and if it doesn't work, I'll spank them, haha", it seems that this Guo Lao and Zhang Xinyu's family are very familiar.
"Grandpa Guo, Wang Chao is mainly doing antiques at the moment, you have a lot of friends, you have to help him more then"
"Ah, yes, what are you doing, young man? Jewelry, jadeite, porcelain, woodwork or miscellaneous, I have a lot of friends in this area, if necessary, I can introduce you to him. By the way, girl, you can just find your old antique grandfather in this line, why go around in such a big circle to find me"
"My grandfather is mainly engaged in appraisal, rarely in business, and I mainly do porcelain and jade, and I am not familiar with other aspects, besides, how can his social circle be compared with you."
"You girl set Grandpa Guo again, hum, but looking at this kid is quite eye-catching, what kind of friends do you want to know, I can help you introduce you"
"Xiexie Grandpa Guo, I just started to do it, and I currently have gambling stone wool, porcelain, red sandalwood, huanghuali and other woodware, just started to do it, and there is no accumulation"
"Ah, you have red sandalwood? Is it old material? What period? What objects? Can you open my old man's eyes?"
"Grandpa Guo, as soon as you talk about antiques, you are addicted, but we still haven't eaten," Zhang Xinyu said coquettishly
"Okay, I can't invite this meal, you girl, every time you come, you always have to blackmail me into a treat" After speaking, the old man turned his attention to Wang Chao again.
"Rosewood is a cabinet, and Huanghuali is a bed, table, and chair."
"Ah, such a big object, are you sure you didn't hit the eye", the old man couldn't believe it, indeed, the red sandalwood has a saying of "every inch of wood and every inch of gold" in the line, it can be seen that the red sandalwood is very precious, and this tree is basically extinct, and I haven't heard of it growing anywhere in China. Although Huanghuali grows in China, it is difficult to find new materials in the market because of its long growth cycle and at least 300 years if it becomes a talent.
"You shouldn't be wrong"
"Then your kid has a very thick background, I have a 1 foot 3 inch small Rosewood Guanyin here, I usually collect it as a treasure of the town, I didn't expect your kid to have this lot of collections, and he can already be regarded as everyone. By the way, if you have time to take me there in the afternoon," said the old man, with a childlike look of longing in his eyes.
"No problem, Grandpa Guo, you can go over and watch it whenever you like."
"Where is your home?"
"Blocking the state"
"Blocking the state? Okay, I'll go with you in the afternoon", after speaking, the old man whispered and didn't know what to say. At this time, the dishes had already begun to be served one after another, and the old man stood up and said, "You taste my apprentice's craft, just talk to you, forget the girl's Buddha jumping over the wall, I'll do it", and walked out.
"This Grandpa Guo is very familiar with you," Wang Chao asked
"Of course, Grandpa Guo saved the lives of our whole family and has been friends with our family for more than 50 years," Zhang Xinyu said while pouring beer for Wang Chao, while drinking tea himself, and then told the story of how the two families got acquainted......
