Chapter 521: I'm the Happiest Person
Kang Chengfeng, the mayor of Bincheng City, did not call Guo Deguang of Datong Trade directly, and the person who called Guo Deguang was Hao Youwei. One of the basic skills of a secretary is to be able to do those things that the leader wants to do but can't do directly.
"Dunzi, why don't you look so happy?" When Emma saw me coming back with my head drooping, she said to me.
"No, I'm not happy if someone sells cigars for me!"
"Can't we go to the provincial capital today, won't my farmer be in a hurry!" Nu Barbie is still so funny.
"No, I'll go back to the office in a while, I'll tell my dad about the situation here, let them contact themselves, I think we'd better go to the provincial capital first!" I was a little resistant to continuing to contact Guo Deguang.
Later, I thought about why I didn't want to associate with Guo Deguang, probably because of the unbearable past with Shi Xiucui. It wasn't until Guo Deguang got sick and died that I didn't have much contact with him. But then again, Guo Deguang really left me a lot of wealth, including her daughter Guo Shuiling.
"Emma, it looks like we're going to be competitors in the future!" I squeezed out a smile as I spoke, "There's a Chinese boss who asked me to cooperate in the cigar business. That person may you still know, he is the same person who spoke on behalf of Ben Cheng business people at yesterday's cocktail party. ”
"I only know which handsome mayor spoke, and I didn't pay attention to the others." Nu Barbie said, waving her hand.
"I don't quite understand what they say, and your liquor is also very good, even worse than Russian vodka!" Emma had palpitations.
"Look at you, I've diverted the topic again, I want to say that I'm going to be in the cigar business in the future, so I'm not going to be Emma's competitor!"
"I'm not just a cigar, I'm going to sell something else. If you think you're going to steal my business, I'll just sell you cigars in the future, and your Zambian cigars are still good. Emma said calmly.
"I don't know what I'm going to do yet! I'll call my dad when I go back and report to him about the situation! ”
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, I called my father, who was far away in Zambia, and told me in more detail about what happened yesterday and today.
"What is your personal relationship with the Mayor Kang you mentioned?" Li Li asked me on the phone.
"Still, it's okay! It was Uncle Zhang, who helped me get my household registration, who introduced us to each other. ”
I wondered in my heart, why my father is the same as Guo Deguang, always concerned about my relationship with Kang Chengfeng, and the normal development direction should be the cigar business!
"Zhang Weihong is a bureau chief now, right?" Dad began to care about Zhang Weihong again.
"It should be, I haven't asked what level he is!"
"Okay, Dunzi, I didn't expect your kid to have some connections, you give me Guo Deguang's contact information, and I will contact him." You have been waiting for my letter for the past two days, and it seems that this cigar thing will be done. Dad said happily.
"I want to go back to my hometown in the past two days, and I promised Uncle Quanbao to find him a daughter-in-law to go back." As I spoke, I was still thinking about what would happen if my dad wouldn't let me go back.
"Okay, dunzi! Don't you have a pager, I'll pager you if there's something! Even if the negotiation is completed, it will take more than half a month for the cigars to be shipped! "Daddy's timing is very accurate.
……………
To celebrate the upcoming cigar business, the three of us went out to buy some charcuterie and beer to bring back to the office. Nu Babi removed the mattress from the inner room and moved the bed in the direction of the glass curtain wall. Not to mention, this way of eating and watching the scenery is really special! The beer is local to Ben Thanh and is called Ben Cheng Beer. I'm a little unaccustomed to this beer, it tastes a little bitter.
Of the three of us, Nu Barbie and I drank okay, while Emma was far worse off than us. At the beginning, the three of us toasted together and saw the bottom together. After about three or four bottles, Emma was a little fluttery.
"Emma, drink less, we'll have to make a train later." Nu Barbi was a little worried.
"I'm fine, it's been a long time since I've drunk like this, I'm happy, I'm happy to have you!" Emma raised her glass again.
"We're drinking a little faster, I think we should slow down this and eat more, we're going to have to take the train at night!" I said to the two of them, "Why don't we say something, like why you're here in China,,,
"Let's drink this first!" Emma took the first drink, and Nu Babi and I had to follow her.
"Emma, tell me why you came to China, just so that you can take a break, don't drink so quickly!" I know that Nu Barbie was dumped by her boyfriend, but I don't know anything about Emma.
"Why did I come to China, because I came to China, and the tuition fees in China are cheap!" Emma burped and continued, "My family used to have a big farm in the United States, but then the economy was depressed and our family went bankrupt, so we had to sell the farm and work in the city to make money. ”
"No matter what, it's much better than when I was back!" Nu Barbi sighed softly.
"When I was in middle school, there was a Chinese girl in my class, and I had a good relationship with her, and we had a good relationship because the other girls didn't want to pay attention to us. The Chinese girl's family was very rich, but she knew that I was the only one who was with her for money. Emma couldn't help but take another sip of beer.
"Then it must be this Chinese girlfriend of yours who taught you Chinese!" I thought it was a friendship between two races!
"No, she never speaks Chinese in front of me, she only speaks Chinese with her family or other Chinese people, and it seems very mysterious, which is why I find Chinese very interesting." Our school can learn Chinese, and there is also an interest group on Chinese culture, so I joined it. So when I was in college, I was recommended by a teacher to come to China and become an international student. After Emma said that, she was about to drink beer again.
"Drink less, just half a glass." Nu Barbi convinces Emma.
"And then, what about that Chinese friend of yours?" I guess every story has to have a happy ending!
"We weren't friends anymore when we were in high school because she stole my boyfriend, Jaime. But that's all there is to it, she even said to Jaime that I was a poor ghost and had slept with many people. Emma's expression was sad.
"How can we have such a person in China, it's really a shame for her!" I couldn't help but pick up the cup and drink it down.
"She's not Chinese, she's American, and we call them Chinese or Chinese-American." Emma didn't agree with me.
"No matter what nationality she is, I always think that she is a little, some are not authentic, can you understand what she means?"
Nu Barbie and Emma both shook their heads.
"Nu Babi, it's time to talk about you, why you came to China!" Emma seemed more anxious than I was.
Nu Barbie smacked her mouth a few times, drank the wine in the glass like Emma, and then said slowly, "I don't think you two are as hard as I was when I was a kid." My dad used to be a soldier, and I don't know where the soldiers were, but my mom told me that my dad was a soldier. I saw him when I was very young, and I can't remember what she looked like now.
My mom and I had a hard time at that time, and I hadn't been to school in my teens. One year we had a lot of Chinese there and said they would give us a railway in Zambia. It was also at that time that my mother found a job cooking for the engineering team, and our lives changed for the better.
There are many Chinese in the engineering team, your Chinese government has helped us a lot, I also started studying in a school funded by Chinese, I studied very seriously, and I am especially willing to learn Chinese.
My mom and I followed the engineering team, and then my mom got sick and we went back to where we were. Luckily, my mom and I earned some money in those years, and I was able to continue my studies in school until I was in high school, when my mom fell outside and she left me.
I was twenty-one years old at the time, and girls of my age were already married, and many of them had already given birth.
An uncle of mine who I hadn't seen for a long time approached me and asked me to marry a man who had a wife, and the uncle said that the man was rich and that I would have a good life after marrying that man. I was reluctant and didn't have a good idea, so I left my place of residence alone and went to the capital Lusaka alone.
I did a lot of work there, and I spent four or five years like that. When I was working as a bar waiter, I met a guy who traveled back and forth between China and Zambia to do business, and he became my boyfriend and he led me to China. Nu Barbie's eyes filled with tears.
"Sister Barbie, don't be sad, you'll find the farmer in no time." I comforted Nu Barbie.
"Actually, I knew that he had a wife and a few children, and he asked me to marry him, but I didn't agree, so he said I was using him."
"How old is that man?" I am particularly concerned about this issue.
"I'm in my forties, and I look very obscene!" Emma took my words, "I met Nu Barbie when I was selling cigars, she was with her ex-boyfriend and a few other people. ”
"One of them wanted to be friends with Emma, and I knew about that man, he was a good gambler and a bad guy, so I found an opportunity to tell Emma what I knew."
Nu Barbi and Emma, you and I are very cooperative.
"I knew the man had bad intentions, but he offered to buy a lot of cigars from me, and without Nu Barbie's reminder, I really went to him that day with cigars!" Emma tugged Nu Barbie's hand, and I was a little extra in the middle.
"Just after that incident, for some reason, my boyfriend left me alone in the hotel. I had no way and I didn't have much money, so I knew that there were many African students at the Chinese University outside Bincheng, so I went there to ask for help. Luckily, I was lucky enough to meet your original employee, Hei. Nu Barbie shrugged.
"Alas! I thought it was so good abroad, but it turned out that it was not easy! When I was still in elementary school, my parents went abroad one after another, leaving me alone in China. "I want to find a feeling that I am also a fallen person.
"Your father is a rich man, he can marry the chief's daughter, and his own company!" Nu Barbi looked envious.
"That's right! You don't have to worry about running out of money to go to school now, we're much worse than you! Emma followed Nu Barbie.
"You say, I'm the happiest person! Come on, drink and drink! ”
In the end, Emma was so drunk!
