Chapter 104: An Unexpected Surprise

The service on the train was warm and thoughtful, Zuo Jiang and the three of them entered the private room as soon as the conductor sent two plates of fruit, and after the train started, three cups of hot tea were sent, looking at the solemn and elegant white porcelain and blue flower teacups, Bai Xiaoyi and Tao Fei were deeply touched. In the past, it was rare to see the conductor's smiling face when I was doing trains, and most of the time I consulted the conductor with a cold face and said I don't know, send water? Don't even think about it, you can't find some boiling water with a teacup.

The next morning, the conductor personally came to invite the three of them to the dining car for breakfast, the breakfast was very simple, the noodles poached eggs and four kinds of small pickles, but the noodles were very exquisite, the noodles were dried noodles over the water, and the clear soup of Shui Lingling was decorated with green cucumber shreds and red shrimps, which made people have an appetite at a glance, and Tao Fei, who had no appetite, also ate two small bowls at first sight.

Four plates of small pickles are more effective, a plate of shredded potatoes choked with shredded potatoes is about an inch and a half in length, and the shreds are cut very finely and evenly, which shows that the chef's knife skills are not ordinary, and the taste is also very delicious. A plate of spicy cabbage is bright in color, with obvious contrast between red, green and white, and an excellent taste. A plate of sausages is cut very thin and evenly arranged into flowers, and finally there is a plate of egg yolks full of salted duck eggs, a small tower of egg yolks cut in half in the middle, and flowers surrounded by egg yolks cut in half, all of which make Zuo Jiang and them unbearable to start.

Arrived at Beijing Railway Station, the conductor and the cadres who added the train sent Zuo Jiang and the three of them all the way to the exit of the station, and when they got out of the station, Bai Xiaoyi saw Cheng Guoqiang who came to pick up the station, Cheng Guoqiang saw Bai Xiaoyi and they were excited and ran over to greet her, Zuo Jiang looked at him carefully on the side, and saw that he was of medium stature, and his white face was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The head must be combed meticulously, wearing a snowflake coat, revealing a suit and tie inside, at first of all, he gave Zuo Jiang a good impression.

In the cold noise, Bai Xiaoyi introduced Tao Fei to Cheng Guoqiang, Cheng Guoqiang always heard Bai Xiaoyi say that Sister Fei was the first time they met, and when he saw that Bai Xiaoyi said that Tao Fei, who had both status and the background of the provincial party secretary's father, was so young and beautiful, he was even more surprised, and he was naturally very enthusiastic to say hello. When he was introduced to Zuo Jiang, Cheng Guoqiang did not snub him because he was still a teenager, and he attached great importance to Bai Xiaoyi's friends. This may be one of the reasons why he went to a high position on CCTV at such a young age, which made Zuo Jiang feel very comfortable.

Cheng Guoqiang brought the Santana sedan of the Ministry of Information to the front station, and this sedan was allocated to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief went abroad and he could temporarily dispose of it. After getting into the car, Cheng Guoqiang sat in the co-pilot's seat and turned around and asked Bai Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, where are we going first, have you booked a hotel?" ”

Bai Xiaoyi said: "Brother Cheng, we haven't booked a hotel yet!" Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Tao Fei: "Sister Fei." You see where we live. How about staying at CCTV's guest house? At this time, there were still very few hotels and hotels in Beijing, and they were generally guest houses of various ministries and commissions.

Tao Fei did not have many opportunities to come to Beijing, and she had no impression of the hotels and guest houses in Beijing, and she paid attention to the hotels and guesthouses in various places since she became the general manager of the East Lake Hotel in Songjiang Province, but she had not been to Beijing in the past two years, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she habitually asked Zuo Jiang's opinion: "Little brother, how about you live in the CCTV guest house?" ”

Before Zuo Jiang came, his father Zuo Zheng planned to book him a guest house with the Ministry of Railways. In his previous life, when he went to Beijing for a meeting, he also lived in the railway hotel in Beifengwo, and he felt very ordinary, and he didn't dare to think about what the Ministry of Railways guest house looked like in 8 years, so he didn't let his father book it, and Tao Fei Bai Xiaoyi came to Beijing once. A must be a good place to stay. He is not afraid to spend money.

Cheng Guoqiang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Tao Fei asking Zuo Jiang's opinion, and his eyes also looked at Zuo Jiang. Zuo Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Brother Cheng." Take us to the Great Wall Hotel, where the conditions are better! Zuo Jiang is not familiar with the hotel and guest meals in Beijing, but he still knows the Sheraton Hotel of the Great Wall, it is the first Sino-foreign joint venture five-star hotel in Beijing since China's reform and opening up, and it is famous for hosting US President Ronald Reagan, and the highest revolving restaurant in China on the top floor of the Great Wall Hotel is also a topic of conversation among the Chinese people at that time, and it is natural to enjoy it if you have the opportunity.

Cheng Guoqiang's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that Zuo Jiang was going to the Great Wall Hotel, as the assistant editor-in-chief of the CCTV News Department, he naturally knew very well the meaning of the Great Wall Hotel, the Great Wall Hotel at this time mainly received European and American guests, because it was invested and built by the internationally famous American sTaRood Starwood Hotel Group, and was managed by the Sheraton Hotel Management Company, the guests were mainly Americans, because of its expensive price that was unacceptable to the Chinese people, and few Chinese people stayed there. Zuo Jiang is about to go to the Great Wall Hotel, how can he not surprise Cheng Guoqiang.

Before coming, Zuo Jiang had told Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi that all expenses would be taken care of by the Songjiang Railway Branch, Tao Fei was a hotel, and naturally knew the expensive price of the Great Wall Hotel, although she also wanted to see this famous five-star hotel, but she still persuaded Zuo Jiang not to waste it, and Bai Xiaoyi also persuaded Zuo Jiang not to go. Cheng Guoqiang was even more surprised when he saw this.

Zuo Jiang said: "Sister, Sister Xiaoyi, you just listen to my arrangement, if you don't enjoy the treatment of a five-star hotel in Beijing, you will regret it for a lifetime, I don't know if there is a chance to come to Beijing again!" ”

Due to Zuo Jiang's insistence, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi acquiesced after a few words of persuasion, compared to the last news broadcast, which cost hundreds of thousands, the cost of staying in a five-star hotel is nothing, and Cheng Guoqiang asked the driver to take them to the Great Wall Hotel.

The 21-storey building of the Great Wall Hotel is all wrapped in the glass curtain wall, it seems to stand out from the crowd and is very luxurious, walk into the hall on the first floor, the luxury facilities inside are even more amazing to the Chinese people, the Great Wall Hotel handles foreign exchange and RMB two kinds of charging business, because the object is mostly Americans, and Americans are accustomed to swiping cards for consumption, so several major bank cards in the United States can be directly swiped here, which makes Zuo Jiang happy. But to the main desk asked, the standard business room is full, now there are only a few luxury suites to live, Zuo Jiang took a look at the introduction, the luxury suite has three suites and four suites, so he asked for a three-suite price of 1888 US dollars a day, with US dollars is cheaper than using RMB.

The pre-stay period was one week, and when the reservation was paid, Zuo Jiang said to the waiter: "We settle in US dollars." Then he pulled out a Citibank gold card and handed it to the waiter. The main desk service receives a large number of foreign guests every day, and when they saw that this teenager was holding a gold card from Citibank, he was shocked, and he was immediately very respectful, and the waiter saw that there were nearly one million dollars in the card when he swiped the card, and he was even more staggered, but fortunately, they had received strict training, and their faces were not very obvious.

As soon as you enter the luxury suite, it is a living room with 30 square meters, with a few words and paintings, which is very elegantly furnished, and there is a door to the suite on the left and right sides and the front side, and a small living room is a small living room, and the bedroom is from the small living room, each bedroom has a separate bathroom and shower, and the decoration is full of American style.

At noon, Cheng Guoqiang picked up Bai Xiaoyi and the three of them in the revolving restaurant on the top floor, and opened a bottle of French red wine because he had a job in the afternoon, although he knew that this meal did not necessarily eat up his salary for several months, but it still reflected the demeanor of a man, and he talked and laughed at the wine table. When he borrowed the toilet to settle the bill, the waiter told him that the bill had been settled by the gentleman among them, and he knew that the gentleman was of course Zuo Jiang.

After eating, Cheng Guoqiang hurried back to the TV station, although he couldn't stand Zuo Jiang's sincerity in all his prevarications, he still accepted the local products of Changbai Mountain, and of course, the plate of tapes and press releases.

When he returned to the office, Cheng Guoqiang put the tape into the video recorder and looked at the press release in his hand while looking at the picture. Bai Xiaoyi made a 50-second picture, ready to be broadcast on Songjiang TV, Cheng Guoqiang felt that the visual effects were very shocking after watching it, and then looked at it against the press release, it was much better than Bai Xiaoyi's oral introduction at that time, and the news broadcast on this news was also qualified, I wanted to only give a three- or four-second picture, but after seeing the tape, I directly made a five-second one.

Cheng Guoqiang very much wanted to take advantage of Bai Xiaoyi's opportunity in Beijing to contact her more and accompany her more, so as to promote the relationship between each other, but he had too much work to squeeze out time, and he could not leave the TV station until the news broadcast was over in the evening, so he began to re-review the news to be broadcast tonight.

At nearly 5 o'clock, the office sent a document from the Central Propaganda Department, which was an outline of the direction of recent news reporting, and after signing it, he read it carefully. When he saw that the pressure on the national railways increased due to the upsurge of migrant workers returning to their hometowns due to the approach of the Spring Festival, and asked for more content on the railways, he keenly felt that although in previous years, the central station focused on reporting on the strengthening of railway organizations and the increase in the content of transporting migrant workers to their hometowns, but the good safety situation of the railways can more calm people's hearts and minds, and has a strong role in promoting the stability of the Spring Festival transportation situation across the country, that is to say, the news of the 1,000 days of safe production of the Songjiang Railway Branch can increase the broadcast time and intensity, and there is no need to make it into a newsletter!

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Bai Xiaoyi's room in the Great Wall Hotel, Bai Xiaoyi was very happy after hearing it, and quickly told Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei the good news, Zuo Jiang was even more surprised after hearing it, and immediately called his father Zuo Zheng to report the good news!
