Chapter 105: The Storm Ahead
It wasn't until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening that I finally came to Northridge City, where the Northwest Mining Company is located, according to the navigation.
The two of them traveled all the way, found a hotel in the city that looked relatively clean, and then ate something casually and fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Meng Lang and the two also got up one after another, washed up, and then drove out to their destination.
An hour later, I came to the Northwest Company.
Looking up, it was a 30-storey building with a silver-gray appearance, and several large black characters of the Northwest Mining Company were sprayed on the outer wall from top to bottom.
"Doesn't look like anything special." Hou Yao pursed his lips and continued, "I thought it was such a great company that it didn't even want to make money. ”
"It's just a branch, and the real cow is the Northwest Group on it." Meng Lang said with a smile.
"No matter how good the company is, it won't close a profit channel, according to me, the CEO of this company is not in the water."
"Maybe other big companies look down on this little money."
Meng Lang touched his nose, tens of millions is a large amount for some small companies, but it is really nothing for a provincial leading enterprise like the Northwest Group.
However, since it is related to self-strengthening, this problem must be solved by him.
"By the way, did your Cuihua help us make an appointment in advance?"
"Don't worry, I made an appointment a few days ago, and Xiaocui's work is still very reliable." Hou Yao looked happy and continued, "Look, I even brought a letter of introduction. ”
"A letter of introduction?"
Meng Lang looked at the paper in Hou Yao's hand.
"Well, we have to have an identity reason or something when we come here, this is a certificate issued by Xiaocui's research institute."
Hou Yao then said: "Hehe, from now on, we are intellectuals with status!" ”
"Well, it was in such a hurry, and it would have been perfect with a pair of black-rimmed glasses."
"Alright, let's go inside."
Meng Lang smiled, and after speaking, he and Hou Yao stepped into the door of the Northwest Company.
The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, with several mahogany sofas for guests to rest on the left and right, and a few pots of green plants more than one person high in the corners around it.
The environment of the whole hall is decent, nothing special.
Directly in front of the reception desk of the Northwest Company, several young girls wearing professional suits and a pale yellow silk scarf tied around their necks were standing behind the counter, and when they saw someone entering the door, they immediately showed a standard smile.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Waiting for Meng Lang and Hou Yao to come to the counter, one of the reception girls with medium stature and beautiful appearance asked sweetly.
"Well, we're here to negotiate business with you." Hou Yao said seriously.
"Do you have any reservations?"
"Of course there is, we are from the Huaxia High-tech Research Institute, you can check it."
Hou Yao said proudly, and handed over the letter of introduction in his hand as he spoke.
"Huaxia High-tech Research Institute?"
This beautiful girl was stunned when she heard this, and she was obviously also stunned by such a high-ranking name as the research institute and high-tech technology.
In her original imagination, the two young men in front of her were either young talents with successful careers, or a rich second generation or something, but she didn't expect to be researchers at the research institute, which is really unseemly.
"Okay, please wait." The beautiful girl came back to her senses and began to operate in front of the computer.
While waiting, Hou Yao gave Meng Lang a smug look, and Meng Lang also secretly stretched out his middle finger.
Soon, the beautiful girl finished checking on the computer, looked up with a pair of big eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure it is the Huaxia High-tech Research Institute?" ”
"That's right, it's the Huaxia High-tech Research Institute." Hou Yao was stunned for a moment, and said without thinking.
Hearing this, the beautiful girl looked down at the computer screen again, then looked up and said, "I'm sorry, our President Xie doesn't have your institute in today's schedule." ”
"And what about the last few days?" Meng Lang said.
The beautiful girl shook her head: "I'm sorry, no." ”
"No?!"
"It can't be!"
Hou Yao's voice suddenly raised an octave, and immediately attracted the eyes of the surroundings, Zhang Xiaocuihua told him that he had made an appointment, so it was definitely an appointment.
For this, not only Hou Yao is very convinced, but even Meng Lang agrees.
Although Zhang Xiaocuihua has a big temperament and likes to scare people when she speaks, she is very stable in her work, and she has the natural delicacy unique to women, so she is a rare talent.
Meng Lang and Hou Yao quickly glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Just when the two were puzzled, a delicate voice came from behind:
"Who is yelling here at the Northwest Company?"
Meng Lang turned his head and took a closer look, the owner of the voice was a young woman in her early twenties and eighties, wearing a set of Milan-colored suits and short skirts, revealing two snow-white thighs.
There was also a blue folder tucked in the crook of her arm, and her light chestnut hair was draped diagonally over her shoulders, which looked like she was the boss's secretary or something.
Before Meng Lang could speak, the woman scolded the girl at the front desk again: "Xiaoping, what's the matter, how do you do it?" ”
The one who was called Xiaoping was the beautiful girl who received Meng Lang and the two just now, and she hurriedly explained: "Secretary Qian, these two people are from the Institute of High and New Technology, and there is always an appointment for reconciliation. ”
"High-tech research institute?"
A hint of understanding flashed in Secretary Qian's eyes, so he asked in a soothing tone, "Then does this research institute have an appointment with Mr. Xie?" ”
"The computer doesn't show it, but it's ......"
Xiaoping cautiously replied that similar situations had happened before, mainly because the secretary did not have a good connection with the front desk, so she didn't dare to talk too much, and this situation was generally caused by the secretary's negligence.
"But nothing, no is nothing!" Secretary Qian glared at Xiaoping and said loudly: "You are also an old employee, don't you know what to do, wait for you to write a review yourself, and there will be a fine of 200 yuan this month." ”
"Yes, got it."
Xiaoping lowered her head, didn't dare to come out, and responded timidly.
Secretary Qian is not only the secretary of the company's boss, but also the boss's lover, which is a well-known thing in the Northwest Company.
Secretary Qian usually considers herself half a boss lady in the company, although she is not arrogant, but she is also quite arrogant, even those high-level managers in the company want her to give her three points.
A few days ago, a new intern secretary came to her, and she found a reason to send it away, Xiaoping, a small ordinary employee, naturally didn't dare to go against her, so she could only swallow her anger.
After the woman known as Secretary Qian reprimanded Xiaoping, she turned her head to look Meng Lang up and down, and said indifferently: "You have also seen it, there is no so-called research institute in our general manager's itinerary, so please leave."
"And our general manager Xie is very busy with work, and it's not just a cat or a dog that can be seen."
At this time, several security guards who were outside heard the noise and ran in.
After Secretary Qian saw it, he scolded angrily: "What are you all doing to eat, any few people can come into the company to make trouble, the company is not here to support the elderly!" ”
