Chapter 11 A Strange Visit
Two days later, Zhao Xiangdong and Liu Yin sat on a flight to Nanbin. Liu Yin went out for the first time, and asked this and that excitedly, very curious. After finding a seat, Zhao Xiangdong turned around to help Liu Yin buckle his seat belt, and accidentally touched the pair of full twin peaks, oh, the cost is not small! This little girl, I don't know how to turn her body sideways and let go!
After buckling the seat belt, Zhao Xiangdong pressed the service bell again, asked for a blanket, handed it to Liu Yin, and said: "The air conditioner on the plane is very cold, and the road is not close, you can cover it with a blanket and take a rest." ”
Liu Yin took the blanket, put it on her lap, and said thank you softly, but she didn't want to rest, but turned sideways and looked at the handsome man in front of her with a pair of beautiful big eyes. The little girl's lips squirmed, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't make any sound.
Zhao Xiangdong ignored her anymore, but sat up straight, leaned on the back of the aviation chair, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
Zhao Xiangdong was born in a poor family, his parents are ordinary working class, the children of poor families have long been sensible, he has studied very hard since he was a child, from primary school to high school, he has always been a good student with excellent character and learning. Outside of studying, he rarely plays with his peers, but goes home to help the adults with household chores. According to Zhao Xiangdong's college entrance examination results, he could have gone to a prestigious university, but he chose to go to a military academy to study, first, because joining the army and serving the motherland is Xiangdong's ambition since childhood, and second, studying in a military school can also reduce some of the financial burden on the family and make his parents live a better life.
After arriving at the military academy, Zhao Xiangdong studied hard as always, and spent all his spare time on exercising.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Xiangdong brought a girl home on the eve of graduation.
Sophie, the only daughter of a high-ranking military cadre family, her father is the deputy commander of a group army, and her mother was once a popular flower in the army's art troupe. may have inherited the advantages of her mother's appearance, Sophie is a famous school flower in the military academy, and her personality is the same as her father who was a big official, outgoing and active, and will never give up until the goal is achieved.
Therefore, the classmates in the class at that time said that it was Sophie who took the initiative to chase Zhao Xiangdong. In fact, it doesn't matter who chases whom, anyway, in the end the two came together. In fact, the honest parents did not support Xiangdong's choice back then, perhaps they felt from the bottom of their hearts that the status of the two families was very different, and they were not the right people. However, the son has a future of his own, as long as he feels happy himself.
After graduation, Zhao Xiangdong and Sophie both stayed in Beijing to work, and soon got married. However, life after marriage is not as good as imagined, perhaps because the difference in personality and lifestyle is too great, Xiang Dong always has a feeling of depression at home. As a high-ranking military general, his father-in-law is very good to the young man, and the two sometimes have a drink together, and the old man often criticizes his daughter's willfulness or something. However, slowly, Zhao Xiangdong found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get into the circle of Sophie and their big courtyard disciples, and the common language between the two became less and less, and finally even the interest in things between men and women was affected.
In the third year after her marriage, Sophie immigrated to the United States and, like many children of cadres, started a cross-border trade business. Soon after, he took his parents, who had left home, to the other side of the ocean. But Zhao Xiangdong was reluctant to go abroad, so he stayed in China alone.
After the Spring Festival of the following year, Zhao Xiangdong resigned from his position as a salesman in the state-owned import and export company with a prominent background, and came to this ancient capital in the south of the Yangtze River alone to start his long-awaited IT career. Information technology and the Internet are the future development direction of this world, Zhao Xiangdong read Bill Gates's autobiography during college, and has always been full of interest in the IT industry.
This marriage has existed in name only, in fact, there is no substantive contradiction between them, it is just inappropriate. Both are persistent in pursuing what they want and are unwilling to give up.
On the company's registration form, there is no more information than the word "married". And because Zhao Xiangdong is usually reluctant to talk about his family situation, no one in the company knows his real situation, only that he is alone here, renting a hotel-style apartment.
Perhaps it is precisely because of a sense of mystery that Zhao Xiangdong often attracts the attention of girls. However, Xiang Dong has always avoided emotional matters, and when he is really lonely, he would rather choose to go to a nightclub to get drunk.
Therefore, Liu Yin is not the first girl to be interested in Zhao Xiangdong, and she will not be the last. A few days ago, she inquired everywhere about Xiang Dong's situation, but she couldn't find any valuable information, and Xiang Dong himself couldn't say anything.
This little girl is really interesting!
Nanbin City is located in the border area of the southern country and is a frontier city of reform and opening up. The civil airline bus drove all the way to the city, and both sides were full of towering high-rise buildings, from a seaside fishing village to today's modern metropolis, Nanbin only took a dozen years, which is also a miracle.
After arriving in the city, Zhao Xiangdong and the others found a four-star hotel to live in. According to the company's regulations, people at Zhao Xiangdong's level are reimbursed for business trips, so he generally takes care of his subordinates in the same industry, lets them live in star-rated hotels with them, and then comes forward to deal with the reimbursement of documents, which makes the young people in the department very useful, and they are especially willing to travel with him.
The two rooms were next to each other, and after putting down their luggage and resting for a while, they left the hotel and took a taxi to Nanbin Telecom.
The only piece of information left by the former salesman was that the name of the director of the Planning and Construction Department of Nanbin Telecom was Zhang Feng, and the phone number left was an office landline, so Zhao Xiangdong decided not to contact in advance, but went directly to visit.
Nanbin Telecom's office building is a magnificent 18-storey building, which is unique among prefecture-level telecommunications companies, and is more imposing than the office space of many provincial-level telecommunications companies in the mainland. After asking Zhao Xiangdong to register, the front desk service lady called Director Zhang Feng, who thought that after getting the confirmation, they would be able to enter the building. However, the service lady asked them to sit and wait in a reception area next to them, saying that this is their company's rule, under normal circumstances, visitors cannot enter the office area, but can only meet in the reception room, it seems that the management of Nanbin Telecom is not generally strict.
Zhao Xiangdong and the others arrived at Nanbin Telecom at four o'clock in the afternoon, but they waited until more than five o'clock, and they were about to get off work, and they didn't see Director Zhang Feng come down. Seeing Liu Yin's anxious and restless look, Zhao Xiangdong signaled her to settle down, waiting is also the basic skill of a salesman, and she must be calm. Afterwards, he told Liu Yin that in fact, the first strange visit, even if you didn't see anyone, let the client know that you have been waiting for his summons, and the purpose will be achieved.
At five twenty o'clock, ten minutes before getting off work, Zhao Xiangdong stood up, walked up to the service lady, smiled and asked her to help contact again. As expected, Mr. Zhang's office phone went unanswered, probably in a meeting or having left. I don't know if it was the charming smile that played a role, or because the service lady was a little sorry for waiting for them for so long, anyway, Zhao Xiangdong successfully got Zhang Feng's mobile phone number, he greeted Liu Yin, and the two left the telecommunications building.
When he came out, Zhao Xiangdong noticed that the podium of the telecom building was a hotel, which should be a hotel run by Nanbin Telecom. Zhao Xiangdong took Liu Yin in to take a look, and sure enough, it was the third industry of telecommunications - Hongxiang Hotel, with accommodation and catering, and the room was not expensive, which was within the reimbursement standard of the salesman. This Hongxiang Hotel later became the base where the United Information Company was stationed, and in order to make a list, Zhao Xiangdong and his elite soldiers spent sleepless nights here, and also left many unforgettable emotional imprints.
After returning to the four-star hotel, Zhao Xiangdong called the old classmates who worked in Nanbin City, after graduating from the Military Academy, he entered the Nanbin City Public Security Bureau through the relationship, and after a few years of mixing, he was already the deputy director of the Communications Department of the City Bureau, because Nanbin Telecommunications and the Public Security Bureau have a lot of business contacts, so Zhao Xiangdong thought of deliberately asking the old classmates out, one to reminisce about the old days, and the other to touch the situation in telecommunications.
Thirty minutes later, Dajun drove a Honda sedan to the downstairs of the hotel. Because he was worried that Liu Yin would be alone, Zhao Xiangdong decided to take her with him and go to dinner together. Before leaving, he called Director Zhang Feng of Nanbin Telecom on his mobile phone and agreed to visit again tomorrow morning.
There was a young girl sitting in the passenger seat of the army, so Zhao Xiangdong and Liu Yin had to sit in the back row together, which was probably in line with Liu Yin's mind, Xiangdong obviously felt that the little girl's body was leaning towards his side, he was silent, neither catering nor deliberately dodging, but chatting with the army with laughter.
After sitting down at a Hong Kong-style seafood restaurant, Zhao Xiangdong found that the girl brought by the army was very young, only about eighteen or nine years old, obviously not the wife of the army, Xiangdong's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that the girl seemed to work at night. Dajun introduced it nonchalantly that it was his girlfriend, and it seemed that this place was really ahead of the reform and opening up, and many things had become commonplace here.
"This is our company's salesman Koyanagi." Zhao Xiangdong was afraid that the army would misunderstand, so he hurriedly introduced.
"Oh, it's not easy for girls to do business!"
Seeing that the army was a little confused, Liu Yin didn't make a sound.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you a glass first, your kid has a prosperous official luck, and he has become the director at a young age, congratulations!"
"Xiangdong, our old classmates won't come here, who doesn't know that you were a genius in our school back then! Come on, do it! Done! ”
After three rounds of drinking, the army's word box was opened. When he was in school, he was a braggart guy, and his academic performance was not good, but his work in picking up girls was first-class. After coming to Nanbin these years, it is even more lucky, with a bumper harvest in career and love. The leaders in the unit are coaxed properly, and at home, a beautiful wife is married, and it is said that she is still the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and there are colorful flags fluttering outside, singing every night. It seems that in today's society, only people like Dajun who are sleek in the world will be left and right, and the future is immeasurable.
From the mouth of the army, they got an important message to the east: in order to balance the complex internal relations, Nanbin Telecom has established a new network research institute, and it is not known whether it has anything to do with the metropolitan area network project.
What's more, Liu Yin heard the name Sophie for the first time and knew that she was now far away across the ocean.
