It was a beautiful night, and only Zhao Hongbing and Ah Zhi could understand the beauty of the night.

When Ah Zhi was lying in Zhao Hongbing's strong arms under the starry sky, Zhao Hongbing asked, "Are you happy today?" ”

Ah Zhi nodded obediently and said stupidly: "I have never been so happy today in my life." ”

Zhao Hongbing smiled, didn't take this sentence seriously, and after half a sound, Ah Zhi said in a low voice: "You never asked my name." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Your name is not Ah Zhi......" said that he felt wrong halfway, and changed his words: "Does the name matter, what I like is you." ”

Ah Zhi said happily: "Do you really think so? ”

Zhao Hongbing smiled: "Of course, if I don't like you, will I let you spend my birthday with me?" ”

Ah Zhi listened, her joy was beyond words, Zhao Hongbing felt that her body was trembling a little because of excitement, and after a while, Ah Zhi said softly: "My name is Dong Jinzhi, do you remember?" ”

Zhao Hongbing felt her true feelings, but he was still suspicious, was silent for a moment, and said, "Remember, I'll still call you Azhi." ”

That night, they talked a lot, talked a lot, and felt that they were much closer to each other, but what Ah Zhi wanted to hear the most, Zhao Hongbing never said.

When they parted, she was a little disappointed, but she still forced a smile and said softly: "Brother Bing, I wish you a happy birthday." ”

Zhao Hongbing had something to say, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't say it, and finally said: "Thank you, and I wish you a happy day." ”

After going to work the next day, Zhao Hongbing arranged his work and sat down to continue to adjust the effective inventory of the approved business department. Someone knocked on the door, and Zhao Hongbing said, "Please come in!" ”

The front desk lady came in and said with trepidation: "Mr. Zhao, there are a few ghosts and a young lady looking for you!" Said he was from Hong Kong. ”

Zhao Hongbing was stunned for a moment, walked to the door of the company with the front desk lady, and was surprised to find that it was Britney and John, as well as a foreign man and a young Asian lady.

Zhao Hongbing was surprised and very happy, and said: "John, it's really you, I thought you would have returned to France a long time ago." ”

Britney and John couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Zhao Hongbing. Britney exclaimed, "Zhao, my dear friends!" hugged Zhao Hongbing and kissed him on the cheek. John also hugged Zhao Hongbing, and his face was pressed against his face.

Zhao Hongbing held John's hand, looked at him, and said, "How are you going on?" Do you feel better? (How's your body?) Okay? John made a bodybuilder pose and laughed, "No problem!" ）”

John introduced, "This is Mr. Ulysses, and she's Miss Jenny!" ”

Zhao Hongbing shook hands with Ulysses and Miss Jenny and said, "Welcome, very welcome to Shenzhen!" ”

"They work in Hong Kong and come to Shenzhen a lot," Britney said. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Please come in, please come to my office!" Zhao Hongbing said to the front desk lady who was trembling: "You pour a few glasses of water." ”

Zhao Hongbing walked through the office lobby with Britney, John and others, and the employees all stood up. Mr. Liu happened to come out of the finance department, and when he saw Zhao Hongbing leading such a few people, his eyes widened in surprise. Zhao Hongbing said: "This is a few of my friends who have just come from Hong Kong. ”

Mr. Liu smiled at these people and nodded in greeting, but he didn't know what to say, and the language barrier was so embarrassing.

When they came to Zhao Hongbing's office, several people sat down. Someone knocked on the door, and it was the secretary Zhang Qian and the front desk lady who came in.

The front desk lady was holding a round tray with several cups of water in disposable paper cups. Zhang Qian put the water cup on the coffee table one by one, and said with a smile: "Please drink water!" ”

John, Britney, and the others all bowed and said, "Thank you! Miss Du Jenny said in Cantonese: "I should show it!" ”

The front desk lady went out, and Zhao Hongbing introduced: "This is our company's beautiful Miss Zhang Qian, who is responsible for secretarial administration. He said to Zhang Qian: "John, Britney, Jenny, and Ulysses are all my friends!" ”

John praised: "This young lady is so beautiful, she is the Venus of the East!" ”

Zhang Qian didn't understand, but she knew that she was talking about herself. Zhao Hongbing said: "Thank you! Said to Zhang Qian: "You sit next to me." Zhang Qian sat down beside him.

Britney asked, "Zhao, is this company owned by you?" ”

Zhao Hongbing shook his head and smiled: "No! I'm just a shareholder, and Ms. Zhang is a staff member here. ”

Britney was a little gossipy, her eyes turned on Zhao Hongbing, then at Zhang Qian, and asked, "I think you must be lovers, right?" ”

Zhang Qian looked at her ambiguous expression, although she didn't know what to say, but she also guessed a little, her face was red, Zhao Hongbing looked at her shy expression, and deliberately said, "Why do you think so?" ”

Britney smiled: "She looks at your expression, full of adoration and admiration, this is the lover's gaze." ”

John said, "Does this company allow lovers to work together?" Won't it affect the work? ”

Zhao Hongbing understood that Westerners spoke straightforwardly and were not as subtle as Chinese, so he clarified: "She and I are not lovers, we are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, Miss Zhang works very seriously, I appreciate it." My lover is in a different place and can't see each other for a while, so I can only call her every day to relieve my longing. ”

Britney admired very appreciatively: "Zhao, you are so romantic, no worse than Westerners at all!" ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "It is human nature to pursue love and ideals. For the sake of love and ideals, it is worth doing anything! ”

John said: "Zhao, you are a person of high moral character, because of you, I have a new understanding of the Chinese. Thank you again for saving me in Haicheng! ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Mr. John, don't praise me anymore, every person with a sense of justice and kindness will do that!" There are so many people around you in Shanghai, all of them want to help you, but they don't have enough language and ability. And I happen to have that ability. ”

John took out a stack of brand-new bills with Washington's head from a bag, put it in front of Zhao Hongbing, and said, "This is $10,000, which is the payment I paid you and the medical expenses you paid in advance!" ”

Zhao Hongbing hurriedly said: "Mr. John, the medical expenses and hospitalization fees I paid you in advance are only more than 1,000 yuan, which is less than 200 US dollars. I can't...... ）”

John interrupted him and said, "I know you helped me in that situation, and you deserve so much to be paid. ”

Zhao Hongbing insisted on not accepting it, and said: "This is too much. I didn't expect you to come to the Shenzhen market to repay the money I advanced, so I accepted the two hundred dollars. As he spoke, he pulled out two hundred-dollar bills and shoved the rest of the money to John.

John was puzzled and said, "You are really strange people, you have saved me, and I am willing to pay you so much, are you not willing?" ）”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I only paid so much in advance, so I can only accept so much!" ”

John said, "Are you rich and not short of money?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I am not rich, I am just an ordinary Chinese, and now I am investing in a small business, and it is the time when I am short of money." But I should help you, not for reward. ”

John said, "Is it worthless for you to help others?" The value of you saving me is not more than 10,000 dollars, but in my opinion, more than 100,000 or 200,000! ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Mr. John, we Chinese are also valuable in helping others, but this value is affection!" There is an ancient Chinese saying that affection is priceless, and affection cannot be calculated with money. ”

Britney said, "Do you Chinese help others without pay?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said with certainty: "Yes, this is a traditional virtue of the Chinese, and when you can help people, you will definitely lend a hand." All Chinese sincerely help others, do not count the remuneration, only seek to leave affection, and the soul is sublimated. There is a Chinese idiom called helping others for fun! ”

John said, "It's just amazing! Your nation is a very peculiar people. ”

Britney said, "Zhao, you helped us, and we are very willing to help you. You are investing in business now, you are in urgent need of money, and it is time for us to help you, will you refuse our help? Although this 10,000 US dollars is not much, it is 100,000 yuan when converted into RMB, and many Chinese cannot earn so much money in their lifetime. ”

Zhao Hongbing laughed and said, "Thank you husband and wife for your kindness!" I am willing to accept your help, but not your money, which would ruin our friendship. ”

Britney, John, and Ulysses were so bewildered by his words that they couldn't tell whether he accepted it or not. Jenny is a Hong Kong native after all, so she can understand what Zhao Hongbing meant, and explains: "Mr. Zhao does not accept your money and accept your friendship!" ）”

John shrugged, looking incredulous and helpless, shook his head and put the dollars in his bag.

Miss Jenny said in Cantonese, "He's confused by you!" ”

Zhao Hongbing was a little incomprehensible, Zhang Qian said: "He doesn't understand Cantonese." Miss Jenny laughed. Zhao Hongbing said, "Miss Jenny, I can only speak Mandarin and English. Miss Jenny said word by word in Mandarin: "I don't speak Chinese well." Zhao Hongbing said: "Your English is very standard, and it is more convenient for us to communicate in English." Miss Jenny smiled and said, "It's very interesting!" ”

Zhao Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Britney, Mr. John, please don't misunderstand what I mean. I'm very happy to see you guys today, that's enough! ”

Britney said, "Zhao, I admire your personality, and we will definitely become very good friends." If you encounter difficulties in your business in the future and need capital turnover, please let us know and we will do our best to support you! ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "There is no problem with the business I am investing in now. If you have difficulty in the future, I will ask for your help. ”

Britney said: "We know that you are now in the metal products business, are you interested in investing in the clothing industry?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation, this is something that everyone can not live without, our country is carrying out reforms, the economy is developing rapidly, people will naturally have a higher pursuit after solving the problem of food, I am very optimistic about the clothing industry, and I am also interested in this." ”

Zhao Hongbing was originally saying kind words, but when Britney, John and the others heard it, their eyes lit up. Britney asked, "Zhao, are you interested in investing in the clothing business?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Yes, my girlfriend loves shopping very much, loves clothing very much, and I also have a certain concern, and I feel that the clothing industry, especially women's clothing, will have great potential in the future." ”

John asked with great interest: "Zhao, if you invest in clothing, what style brand are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I don't know what style is, just take the price." If I had to choose, we wouldn't be able to make top brands like Valentino and Armani, but we wouldn't want to make very low-end clothing, so we would look for a brand with a main price level between 300 and 600 yuan. According to my observations, the purchasing power of cities in our country is strongest at this price level. ”

Ulysses, who had been silent, said happily: "Great! We've been making clothes for decades, and it's this kind of main price point. ”

Zhao Hongbing asked in surprise: "Are you making clothes?" ”

John laughed: "Dear Zhao, you are asking the right person, to use a phrase you Chinese to describe, Ulysses is a great expert in this regard." ”

"Ulysses' grandfather started making clothes in Milan in 1945 and has been in business for two generations for more than 40 years, and Mr. John's company has always helped to run the brand, which now has more than 1,000 Ulysse* stores all over the world, and is already an internationally famous fashion brand. Mr. Ulysses is the Head of Asia Pacific and I am the Head of Hong Kong. We operate very well in Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok. We have been paying attention to Shenzhen for a long time, and we feel that this is a very ideal city, and the purchasing power is just right for the development of Ulys* stores. ”

Britney Spears smiled, "This is also one of the main purposes for which we came to you today. ”

When Jenny introduced, the foreigner was really temperamental, John was triumphant, shaking his head, happy like a child, meaning: How about it, I can finally help you! Britney was also smiling. After Jenny finished explaining, Britney smiled and said, "This is also one of the main purposes for us to come to you today. ”

Zhao Hongbing was overjoyed and said, "That's really good!" Can I see the picture book of Ulys's costumes? ”

Ulysses and Jenny took out four or five beautiful paper bags from their side and put them on the coffee table, the green ones were men's clothes and the pink ones were women's clothes, which were very exquisite. Ulysses and Jenny took out more than a dozen albums from the paper bag, a large number of albums from Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong and other places, as well as more than a dozen women's T-shirts and summer dresses. The album is very well categorized, and even the chromatography book is available.

Zhang Qian picked up the two shirts in surprise and said, "Oops! It's so beautiful, so beautiful! This is my favorite outfit! ”

Zhao Hongbing said happily: "Can we let our beautiful Miss Zhang try it?" I'm sure she'll be able to embody the perfect value of this outfit. He said this sentence again in English and again in Chinese, Zhang Qian's face turned red after hearing this, and she looked at Zhao Hongbing's gaze and felt a little strange.

John said, "Of course! Miss Zhang has a very good body and complexion, and she must be dressed beautifully! ”

Zhao Hongbing said to Zhang Qian: "You go and try it and see how it feels!" Zhang Qian picked up her shirt and went to her office. Zhao Hongbing looked at some photos and looked at the album again. The décor of the * stores in Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong is all in the same style and beautiful. Spring, summer, autumn and winter clothing is dominated by casual styles, which are beautiful. Including a variety of shoes, bags, accessories. There are also umbrellas, keychains, corsages, shoulder flowers, etc., which are marked in English as gifts are not for sale.

After a while, Zhang Qian walked in, which made people's eyes shine, it was so beautiful! Zhang Qianxi couldn't help but say: "This is an authentic Italian product, very comfortable, very beautiful, I like it so much!" ”

Zhao Hongbing asked: "How much does this costume cost?" ”

Miss Jenny said: "The T-shirt is 568 Hong Kong dollars, and the lower skirt is 488 Hong Kong dollars, a total of 1,056 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to almost 880 yuan. "At that time, the renminbi was worth more than the Hong Kong dollar. Zhao Hongbing saw this texture, such a beautiful set of clothes only cost 880 yuan, and thought that it would be sold at least 1,500 yuan in the International Trade Center, so he hurriedly said: "This is exactly the price I am looking for!" Mr. Ulysses, can I deal in your clothing? Britney, and John, you help me intercede. ”

Ulysses looked at John, smiling silently. Britney and John spread their arms and said in unison, "Of course, my friend! Zhao Hongbing hugged Britney and John excitedly.

Zhao Hongbing never thought that the ordinary-looking Ulysses turned out to be the prince of more than a thousand chain stores, and sighed in his heart. Intentionally, and a few words with him, Ulysses is not good at words, but he respects John very much, and thinks that his friends must be worthy of fellowship, so he chatted with Zhao Hongbing eagerly, and several people talked happily, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work.

Mr. Liu poked his head at the door and asked Zhao Hongbing how to solve the lunch, Zhao Hongbing said: "Mr. Liu, don't go, let's go to dinner together in a while." ”

Because of the language barrier, Mr. Liu was most afraid of dealing with Hong Kong people and gringos, so he waved his hand and said: "You go to eat, I still have something to do, I will help you ask for leave in the afternoon, and you take your friends around." ”

Zhao Hongbing expressed his gratitude, and then invited Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian's expression was a little eager, but after thinking about it, she still refused, she was a sober-minded girl, knowing that she was not a person of the same class as a boss like Zhao Hongbing, and she would not go to the same road in the end, so she held back the passion in her heart and left in disappointment.

Zhao Hongbing took John and his wife, Ulysses, and Jenny downstairs, and after asking them about their tastes, he drove them to Mr. Lin's restaurant and ate a meal of seafood.

John, Britney and Ulysses were raving about the taste, better than Hong Kong and Tokyo. Between eating and drinking, Zhao Hongbing, Ulysses and Jenny exchanged phone numbers, and made an appointment to contact them often in the future, and then talk about joining the chain store when the time is right. After eating, Zhao Hongbing took them to play in major scenic spots and famous landmarks in Shenzhen, and after playing with them for half a day on the second day, he sent John, Ulysses and others to Luohu Customs, hugged and kissed goodbye one by one, and watched them enter the customs hall.
