Chapter 518: Business Reception
Nubia, who did not go to university, said she learned her Chinese at a Chinese-aided school in Zambia, and although she didn't know many Chinese characters, she still had strong oral skills. In that school, she was exposed to a lot of things about China, so she really wanted to come to China. After becoming an adult, she worked hard to do some business related to China, and after so many years of traveling, she finally came to China in recent years, and her wish came true.
Nubabi and I sat on the benches at Ben Thanh University of Technology, and now we are both on summer vacation, and only a few people are walking around the campus. The campus is quieter than the outside world, just an iron fence, the hustle and bustle outside seems to be far away, and the heart is not so impetuous.
"Smoke a cigar!" Nu Barbie was always willing to light me a cigarette for some reason.
"Don't smoke here, what a beautiful environment here, I feel a little embarrassed all of a sudden! I heard a bird calling, and it wouldn't hate the smell of cigars! ”
"Dunzi, you're going to college here in the future, aren't you?" Nu Barbi asked me.
"yes, it's a pity I'm just a junior college student,,,"
"What junior college student? Not a college student? "Nu Barbie didn't understand what I meant.
"Sister Barbie, the students of this university are also hierarchical, those who study well are admitted to the undergraduate, I am admitted to the junior college, I am studying here for three years, and the undergraduate students have to study for four years!" I crossed my fingers to explain to her.
"I don't know what you mean, I know that if I can come here to study, it's a student of this school, or something else?" Nu Babi sees it a little differently.
After she said this, I really think there is some truth, I am here to study, whether it is three years or four years! This makes my heart feel a little better.
I stayed on the bench for a long time, and I felt that the wind blowing was the smell of happiness. Looking back on my college life, the scene with Nu Babi on the campus of the University of Technology that day occupies a very important place in my memory. Because it was the first time I deservedly came to my university, and the universities I went to with Tasha before, even the provincial normal university, I thought it was someone else's university, and I was just an outsider.
"When are we going to the convention center, it's almost time!" Nu Babi came back to me after a long time of wandering around.
"Leave now, I'll be living here in a month, and I'll come back to see it then."
Nu Barbi and I walked out of the campus of the University of Technology.
……………
The Ben Thanh Convention & Exhibition Centre was only completed last year, and it was previously a dilapidated building, not to be used as a convention and exhibition center, but to build a sea-view hotel here. After Kangchengfeng came here to become the mayor, he made a field trip and decided to build the current convention and exhibition center on the original foundation.
Businessmen, of course, were for profit, and when Kang Chengfeng told them his idea, few people were willing to take on the project.
"I'm the new deputy mayor Kang Chengfeng, and you may know some of my situation, the government decided to build a convention and exhibition center here, the purpose is to use this convention and exhibition center as the guide, and vigorously develop the real estate economy here. This convention and exhibition center is not only built for Ben Cheng, it will eventually become the business exchange center of our province and even the entire northeast. Since everyone is not interested in this project that benefits the country and the people, I can only feel sorry. Kangchengfeng said at a conference on investment promotion.
"Mayor Kang, as a native of our Bincheng Datong company, of course I hope that our Bincheng will develop by leaps and bounds under the leadership of you, a young and promising mayor. I also agree with our government's measures for the Convention and Exhibition Center project, but our company is not able to undertake such a large project independently, if we can take the way of equity to solve this problem, we Datong will actively participate in it,,," The person who spoke was Guo Shuiling's father Guo Deguang.
After the completion of the convention and exhibition center on the Corniche Road, Nu Babi and I rushed to our destination tonight with the increasingly strong smell of the sea.
In August, when it was dark late, many long propaganda canvases were hung under the street lamps, and I could read the words on them clearly without the illumination of the street lamps.
"Sister Barbie, it says that the time of the drinking party is eighteen fifty-eight, which is quite auspicious." I pointed to the propaganda canvas and said.
"There's not much time left! Let's hurry up! "Nu Barbi seems to be in a more anxious hurry than I am.
The front hall of the convention and exhibition center is brightly lit, and people are entering in an orderly manner. I saw Hao Youwei looking left and right at a glance, and I thought to myself, I couldn't be waiting for me on purpose!
"Hey! Barbie! I'm here, how come you're here! A female voice that was a foreigner when she heard it said.
"Oops, Mom! It's you! Nu Babi was a little excited, "I've been looking for you for the past two days!" This is my boss Li Mugen. ”
"Hello, Boss Li. My name is Emma. Kelly, I'm a friend of Barbie! ”
Only then did I realize that Nu Barbie was talking about "Emma", not "Oops Mom", which also made me quickly remember the girl's name.
"Hello, hello, you're here for a cocktail party too?" I asked Emma.
"I wanted to go in, but they wouldn't let me in, saying that someone with an invitation must be allowed to enter!" Emma was a little frustrated.
"Dunzi, we don't have an invitation either, do we? What to do? Nu Barbi looked at me.
"Come with me, don't go in anyway!" After all, I'm not a person who is afraid of making a fool of himself.
Nu Babi pulled Emma after me, Emma was carrying a small suitcase, I remembered that Nu Babi said that she had a friend who sold cigars, and I guess this Emma was the one who sold cigars.
"Brother Hao, you're waiting for me!" I came to Hao Youwei with my face on my face.
"Isn't it, Mayor Kang specially asked me to wait for you here, this is an invitation for you, you are here,,,"
"There are three of us!" I hurriedly said.
"Three people, didn't you say two,,, okay! Come with me! Hao Youwei looked at Nu Babi and Emma behind me and led us into the convention and exhibition center.
"Dunzi, I'm busy with my go, Mayor Kang has a speech in a while, if he can pull away, the mayor will come to you!" Hao Youwei left us after speaking.
"Who is this handsome guy?" Emma asked Nu Barbie.
"This person is the secretary of the handsome mayor, and what I like is the mayor!" Nu Barbie replied honestly.
I thought to myself, you're going to divide up the family? Have you asked people how they feel?
"Barbie, if it weren't for you today, I might not be able to get in here, I don't know why the requirements are so strict today, and no one without an invitation letter will be allowed to come in!" Emma said with a free drink.
"Our boss knows Mayor Kang, it's the handsome guy I fancie, if it's not his secretary, or the handsome guy you fancie, we may not be able to get in." Nu Babi laboriously said in Chinese.
"You said you weren't too tired, why didn't you just speak English! I'm afraid I won't understand! I interjected.
"Emma and I both want to practice Chinese well, and we only speak Chinese when we meet." Nu Barbie is confident.
"Barbie Barbie, your handsome mayor has spoken!" Emma reminds Nu Barbie.
After a round of applause, Kang Chengfeng began his speech. Of course, I can understand what Kang Chengfeng said, but I really don't understand what he said. Nu Babi listened attentively, and when she saw others applauding, she would do the same.
Fortunately, the drinks, cakes and fruits are free, and I don't care who speaks above or who listens below, I just eat the free food.
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Guo Deguang, the representative of our outstanding entrepreneurs in Bincheng, to give us a speech, everyone is welcome!"
The host's words made the cake that I had just put in my mouth stuck in my throat. I quickly took a sip of the drink, which relieved the discomfort in my throat. Looking up, the person who was talking eloquently at the center booth was not my little Uncle Guo back then! Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still doesn't look old, and he still looks like a dog.
Why do I have an opinion on Guo Deguang, then I need to say, of course it's because of Tasha! Tasha is an absolute goddess in my mind, and of course I have to treat anyone who has blasphemed my goddess coldly!
Looking back and thinking about it, forget it! Grudges are easy to resolve and difficult to knot, and Guo Deguang still wants to make his own daughter Guo Shuiling my daughter-in-law. I didn't mean to marry her daughter, but people treated me like this, and I couldn't help but know what to do!
I've already talked about it, and then it's time to get into the mess around with a wine glass! The whole hall suddenly whined, and I couldn't hear which country the people of which country had spoken!
I also ate almost enough, thinking that it would not be good to leave now, and Nu Babi next to me also felt a little bored, so he said to me, "Dunzi, do you smoke cigars?" ”
"Alright, I'll have one! What about Emma? Did she go to sell cigars, did she let her sell cigars? I took a puff on my cigar and said to Nu Barbie.
"She should do what you say, and sell her cigars! I haven't seen her for a while. Nu Barbie didn't see where Emma was.
After a while, a foreigner came up to us. Speaking in English: "This gentleman, where did you buy your cigars, how are they different from mine, this one of mine doesn't taste very good, it's not the Cuban cigar she said!" ”
"The origin of our cigars is Zambia, not Cuba, and my boss is in the cigar business, if you are interested, you can talk to my boss in detail." Nu Barbi said as she pulled out a cigar and handed it over.
The visitor sniffed it with his nose and threw away the cigar he was holding!
"The taste of this cigar is very pure, I will recommend someone else to buy it, do you have a business card?"
Nu Barbi and I looked at each other for a moment, because we had both forgotten to bring our business cards!
"Sister Barbie, what are you shouting over there, what's going on?" I was drawn to the shouting of someone over there.
"The man said that the cigar was fake, and he wanted to return the money if it was a fake!" Nu Barbi said to me.
"It can't be Emma!" I blurted out.
This time Nu Babi and I thought of a piece.
