Chapter 43 recounts the nostalgia and strives for investment
After breakfast, Li dressed in a suit, tied a tie, combed his hair neatly, and went to work in advance. When he came to the office, he immediately got busy, cleaning the floor, tidying up his desk, and he was very busy for a while; After finishing his work, he sat down at his desk and opened his books to read and study, waiting for Mr. Zhang to come to work and assign him a new job.
After a while, Zhang Qian walked into the office, still in splendid clothes, jewelry, and graceful. She looked at the newly renovated office, nodded to Li with a smile, and then sat down in the general manager's seat and began to take care of business. Personnel from various departments are constantly coming and going. Li stood in front of the office door and was in charge of greeting and sending him off. I didn't see him for half a month, and the personnel of various departments couldn't help but ask when they saw it, and Li only said "go home to visit relatives."
An hour later, when Mr. Zhang's business was finished, she beckoned to Li and pointed to the water bottle; Li Huiyi hurriedly walked over and poured her a glass of boiling water, and then returned to his seat to rest. Zhang Qian slowly drank water while looking Li up and down. Li couldn't help but get nervous, and saw that he didn't find any problems with himself, so he smiled stupidly at Zhang Qian, still looking down at the book. Zhang Qian finally spoke:
"Lee, how did you do that? After going home for half a month, not only did he not eat fat, but he became dark and thin; Didn't Peach give you a full meal? ”
Li knew that a new job was coming, so he immediately dropped the book in his hand, touched his face, looked at Zhang Qian and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang is really joking, why wouldn't she give me a full meal? Every meal is happy when I eat two full. It's just that in the past half a month, from Shenzhen to Liangshan, and then from Liangshan to Beijing, tens of thousands of miles, running back and forth, wind and sun, busy day and night, no matter how full the meal is, no matter how good the food is, it will not grow meat, how can it not be dark and thin? ”
Zhang Qian smiled after listening to Li's explanation and said, "Busy day and night? Could it be that Peach also asked you to work at night? It's unreasonable! Although you haven't worked at home in the past two years, you have been working outside the home, and you haven't made less money? ”
"Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I mean, in the past half a month, whether I go home or travel to Beijing, in order to save time, I drive back and forth at night, which is a bit harder. In addition, I haven't been home for two years, and my family and fellow villagers are very affectionate when they see each other, and I have to talk to them until midnight every night, and I have less time to sleep. Lee explained in detail.
"I can sleep in the second half of the night, if it's not enough, I can also sleep lazily in the morning, why is it so tormented? How? Peaches are pestering you again? Young people, dry firewood, this is also inevitable. Zhang Qian deliberately joked.
Li was inconvenient to answer, so he had to smile faintly and bow his head and remain silent.
Zhang Qian saw Li smiling but didn't answer, knowing that he was sweet in his heart. Thinking back to his youth, he was widowed for a long time, although his family property was thousands of dollars, and he was alone every night, keeping an empty house, and he couldn't help but feel sad. She originally wanted to take advantage of Li and Tao's meeting this time to make a joke and relieve her boredom, but she didn't want to cause her own pain, so it was difficult to talk about it. She raised her left hand and slapped her right shoulder, saying, "What are you smiling at?" Isn't it? You still have that little secret to hide from anyone? Come and give me a massage. In the half month since you went home, my right shoulder has always hurt, and the pain is so bad that it is difficult to take off clothes at night. ”
"Okay." Li washed his hands in the basin and saw that Zhang Qian had leaned her head back on the back of the chair. He walked over to massage her right shoulder, and said very guiltily: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I can't massage you when I go home in half a month, so I made you suffer." ”
"Nothing. Endure it and come over. It's still important for you to go home, you haven't been home for two years, your wife and children and parents have not been able to see each other for a long time, and it is not easy for both parties to endure pain. How are you in your family? ”
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your concern! They are all good. When the whole family saw me driving back to my hometown in a car, they thanked you for your kindness and asked me to say hello on their behalf. Especially Peach, wearing the clothes you gave her, she was very satisfied, and repeatedly thanked you, and asked me to work hard and not to live up to your kindness. ”
"That's the best, it's not in vain that I granted you half a month's leave. Well, after two years of hard work, you have finally fulfilled your wish for your wife, children, and parents, and they are satisfied, and you don't feel guilty. It's time to work hard from now on. You are a man of kindness, and I admire you as a person. As long as you follow me faithfully and willingly, I will not treat you badly. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I can make my wish come true and fulfill my promise, which is the result of your care, support and help. I will work hard in the future. However, not all three of my promises were fulfilled this time, and the whole family still lives in a stone house. ”
Zhang Qian was surprised and asked, "Why?" Is it that the price has risen and the money brought back is not enough? ”
"It's not. It's the situation in my hometown that has changed. ”
Therefore, Li gave a detailed account of the situation in his hometown, Daliang Mountain, in which the people raised funds to invest in tourism development, and the township leaders mobilized him to take the lead in investing in shares.
Zhang Qian comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you work hard, I guarantee that you will be able to take home 50,000 yuan to build a building in a year." ”
Li remembered the task assigned by Township Chief Song, and took the opportunity to say: "Now my task is not only the problem of building my own house, but also the problem of supporting Tao's work and supporting the tourism development of my hometown." If the tourism development of the whole township cannot be carried out, the job of Tao will be gone, and the investment of 50,000 yuan will also come to naught. So when I came back, the secretary and head of the township repeatedly told me to widely publicize the tourism development of Daliangshan in Shenzhen and strive for foreign joint ventures in the development. The head of the township also said that Daliang Mountain has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful natural scenery, and if it is developed, it will definitely attract tourists from all over the country to go sightseeing, and he promised that the investors will be able to make a lot of money. If you don't believe it, you can visit it first and then ......"
"Don't say it, I understand what you mean, and you want to win me to invest in the tourism development of Daliangshan." Zhang Qian interrupted Li's words, "It's just that tourism development requires a lot of investment, and it is difficult to get a return in the near future." I can't call the shots in this matter, and the chairman can only make a decision through the board of directors. So, you don't have to say it anymore, and I don't dare to promise you. ”
"I don't want you to agree now, but I ask you to seriously consider this matter, go back to Hong Kong in the future, give Chairman Zhang a briefing, and win the sympathy and investment of his old man."
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "You kid has a lot of eyes, and the abacus actually hit my father." Well, I'll keep this in mind first, and I'll report it to my father when the time is right. Who told me to recognize you, fellow? However, don't get your hopes up either, because our company has never been involved in tourism development, and my father and the board of directors may not agree to invest. ”
"Now I invest in tourism, but I make a lot of money! Nowadays, China has implemented reform and opening up, and friends from all over the world have poured in in large numbers to look for scenic spots everywhere to visit. Xi'an has developed a Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, Sichuan has developed a Jiuzhaigou, there are many tourists, there are many crowds, overwhelmed, from morning to night queue waiting to visit. Daliang Mountain is beautiful, there are many scenic spots, and it is magnificent. There is a big canyon called Purple Qi from the East, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the waterfalls are flowing springs, and the clouds and mist are shrouded all day long. I heard the old man say that it was the place where Lao Tzu rode a bull back then. Zhang Qian was moved and felt magical, she asked, "Really?" Lao Tzu really rode a bull through Daliang Mountain? Li said: "It's really fake, how do I know at a young age?" Anyway, the old people in Daliang Mountain say so, and everyone knows it. I think it's probably true, otherwise how would it be called Ziqi Donglai? "There is a reason for the words, and maybe there is something true." Zhang Qian will be skeptical. Li said: "You think, if such a beautiful and magical place is developed, I dare say, it will not be worse than those two places." Please Mr. Zhang met Zhang Dong with a lot of good words, and it was fulfilled. Since you recognize me as a fellow countryman, then Daliang Mountain is my hometown and your hometown. Please look at the friendship of fellow villagers, the cause of fellow villagers, and actively promote this matter. ”
"I see." Zhang Qian finally nodded.
