It was a long journey from Hangzhou to the Hope Primary School site.

Xiaoshan Airport does not have a direct flight to the Xilin Gol area, so Li Chuan and others can only take a plane to Hohhot first, and then find a way to get to their destination.

At around 10:10 a.m., the plane landed at Hohhot Airport.

Li Chuan and the others walked out of the airport, found a local resident, learned about the situation, and finally decided to rent a car and drive to the destination.

Hohhot has planes, trains and buses to the Xilin Gol area, but these means of transportation need to wait for a long time, generally in the evening or at night to depart, especially time-wasted, and the direct stop is the capital of the Xilin Gol area - Xilinhot, Hope Primary School is also a long distance away from Xilinhot.

After this toss, when they reach their destination, it will be at least until the early morning of the next day, or even the next morning...... In that case, it will all be delayed.

It will be much more convenient to rent a car and drive yourself.

It takes about six and a half hours to drive directly from Hohhot to the Hope Primary School station.

If Li Chuan and the others get off the plane and set off immediately, they will be able to arrive at their destination in the evening of the same day.

Of course, they couldn't go right away.

Renting a car also takes time, and you can't just go.

Li Chuan arranged for Zhu Chenwei to do this, and he found a noodle restaurant on the street with Li Wentao and others and had a "breakfast".

They got up too early and hurried too early today, and they didn't have time to eat breakfast, and now they are already hungry, and now they have time, so they naturally have to hurry to fill their stomachs.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Chenwei drove a seven-seater Alpha to the outside of the noodle restaurant.

At the right time, Li Chuan and the others just finished eating and walked out of the noodle restaurant.

When they saw Zhu Chenwei, they didn't talk nonsense, they opened the car door directly and sat down.

Zhu Chenwei was also hungry, but he didn't have time to eat at the noodle restaurant, so he could only buy a few meat buns on the side of the road and solve them on the way.

At 11:40 p.m., Li Wentao drove Alpha and embarked on a journey to the Hope Primary School station.

In the early stage of the journey, Li Chuan kept looking through the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

This was his first time at NMG, and he was very curious.

Before, his impression of NMG was the beautiful scenery of the grasslands he saw on the Internet.

However, when he was actually in the middle of it, he found that the scenery here was not as good as it was on the Internet.

Along the way, what he saw the most was not the boundless grassland scenery, but the bare Gobi, which seemed very desolate, and occasionally passed by a grassland, which was still pitted, like a swamp, and there was no ornamental at all.

Of course, it may also be that he took the wrong path and did not reach the real grassland scenic area, but no matter what, everything he saw was real.

These Gobi and swamps broke his impression of the grassland, and at the same time made him understand a truth: the real beauty is not common, and what you see on the Internet is basically the best; What you can't see online is often disappointing.

This is a universal truth in the business world.

After figuring out all this, Li Chuan didn't have the heart to look at the scenery.

He folded down his seat again, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

Li Chuan rubbed his eyes to sober himself up a little, then turned his head to look out the window and found that he had come to a "township".

Of course, "township" is in quotation marks.

The townships in the coastal areas are not the same concept as the townships in the grassland areas, and the population and economic gap between the two sides is very large.

"Is it almost there?"

Li Chuan glanced at the sky and asked Li Wentao in front of him.

"Well, it's almost there, the hotel is in front, and there are 2.6 kilometers left, just a few minutes away."

"Oh, Qin Sheng, are they here?"

"Here, they are waiting at the hotel, they have called several times before."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Hurry up, it's not early, don't delay eating." ”

"Okay."

“……”

A few minutes later, Alpha arrived at the Panda Hotel.

Panda Hotel is a five-storey reception hotel, no star rating, but the exterior decoration is not bad, the internal environment is also OK, it is the largest and most luxurious hotel in the local area.

When the car stopped, a young man with glasses stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Is it Mr. Sen?" ”

When Li Chuan heard this, he glanced up and felt that the other party was a little familiar.

He thought about it carefully and roughly recognized the other party as the photographer of the Miki Foundation.

More than a month ago, Miki Fund recruited a photographer and two clerks...... Soon after they joined the company, they were brought to NMG by Qin Sheng to carry out the site selection and preparation work of Hope Primary School.

Because of the short time he spent in the company, Li Chuan had only seen them a few times, so his memory was not clear, and he could only roughly identify them, but he didn't know what the other party's name was, let alone the specific situation of the other party.

However, Li Chuan did not show it either.

He opened the car door, got out of the car, walked up to the young man, stretched out his hand and said, "Good work." ”

"Well, it's not hard, it's not hard, it's all ...... You're welcome. ”

The young man hurriedly shook hands with Li Chuan and replied a little stunned.

"When the work here is over and you return to Hangzhou City, I will invite you to a big meal and treat you well."

"Thank you, Mr. Sen."

"You're welcome."

Li Chuan patted the young man on the shoulder, then changed the topic and asked, "What about Qin Sheng?" Isn't it here? ”

"Manager Qin is inside, she's helping you open a room."

"Oh, let's go in first."

"Okay."

"Wait a minute."

Li Chuan had just taken two steps, suddenly remembered something, walked back to the car quickly, opened the trunk, and took out a package from it.

"I forgot to bring something."

Li Chuan explained, then waved his hand and led everyone into the hotel.

Walking into the door of the hotel, as soon as he looked up, he saw two girls in front of him negotiating something with the little girl at the front desk.

He knows both of these girls, one is a clerk of the Miki Foundation, and the other is the person in charge of the Miki Foundation.

The person in charge of the Miki Fund is naturally Qin Sheng.

The movement of the hotel opening was not small, Qin Sheng heard the voice, immediately stopped talking, and looked back.

"Long time no see, Qin Da Beauty."

Li Chuan stepped forward a few steps and opened his arms with a smile on his face.

Qin Sheng's face turned red, and he hesitated for a moment before he opened his arms and hugged Li Chuan.

The two of them parted at the touch of a button, appearing both warm and polite.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, you seem to have lost weight and darkened."

Li Chuan looked Qin Sheng up and down, and sighed a little.

Qin Sheng at this time is indeed very different from the previous in Hangzhou.

When he was in Hangzhou before, Qin Sheng had fair skin, ruddy complexion, and a slightly plump figure, looking very temperamental and goddess-like.

Now Qin Sheng's figure has lost a lot of weight, her complexion is a little dark, and her skin has become much drier, plus she wears a denim suit similar to overalls, and her whole temperament is like a rural female cadre.

From a goddess to a rural female cadre, the difference between before and after is really very big.

"It's okay."

Qin Sheng didn't seem to care much about this, and said calmly: "It's windy here, and the air is relatively dry, which is different from the south." ”

"Well, I feel it too."

Li Chuan nodded, and said to Qin Sheng again: "You work here, don't work too hard, usually pay more attention to maintenance, and rest in time......"

"I know."

Qin Sheng didn't really want to talk about this, so he changed the topic and said, "Why did you come so early?" ”

"Early? Not early, right? ”

Li Chuan was a little puzzled: "We set off at six o'clock in the morning, and we have only arrived now, and we have been running for more than ten hours, is it still early?" ”

"It's not a dozen hours, when we came, we were in a hurry for a day and a night."

"A day and a night? You're coming by train? ”

"That's right."

"It's so slow by train, we're coming by car."

"Driving? ...... drive from Hangzhou"

"It's not."

Li Chuan shook his head and explained: "We flew to Hohhot, where we bought a car, and then drove over directly. ”

"Oh, no wonder." Qin Sheng understood.

"If you need it, you can also rent a car, it's more convenient."

"Not for the time being, let's talk about it then."

"Don't be afraid to spend money, rent directly if necessary, keep the invoice, and go back to the company for reimbursement."

"I understand."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

He lifted the package in his hand, handed it to Qin Sheng, and said, "This is for you." ”

"What is this?"

"A birthday present for you."

"Huh?"

Qin Sheng was stunned, looked at Li Chuan, and said in disbelief: "You...... Remember? ”

"Of course I do."

Li Chuan smiled and said: "I was very impressed by what you said to me at the beginning, and I haven't forgotten a word until now." ”

Qin Sheng's face turned red again, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look at Li Chuan.

"This ...... What do you mean? ”

At this time, the female clerk next to Qin Sheng spoke.

Previously, she had been beside her, listening to the exchange between Li Chuan and Qin Sheng.

The content of the previous exchange was okay, and she didn't react much, but when she heard the words "birthday gift", she suddenly became calm.

"Sister Qin, is it your birthday today?" The clerk asked, turning her head.

"Hmm."

Qin Sheng nodded lightly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? You ......"

The female clerk was a little annoyed and said: "We weren't prepared, we knew that we ......"

"No, you don't."

Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "You don't have to bother. ”

"How's that going to work?!"

The clerkess said, "Anyway, there has to be a cake, right?" ”

"No need to ......"

"It's too late."

Li Chuan suddenly said, "Here, there should be a cake shop, right?" ”

"This ...... I remember there seemed to be one to the east. ”

"Go and see, can't you open the door? If you open the door, make one quickly. ”

"Oh, good."

The clerkess answered, and after speaking, she turned and walked out of the hotel.

"I'll go too."

The photographer who greeted Li Chuan and the others before saw this scene and hurriedly followed.

"You don't have to bother......"

Qin Sheng was about to stop him, but was interrupted by Li Chuan.

"It's fine."

Li Chuan opened his mouth to persuade: "It's just a cake, it's not worth a few dollars, and it doesn't take much effort, let them go." ”

"It's too much trouble."

"What's the trouble, it'll be done in a while, you have a birthday, you have to have some atmosphere, this is everyone's mind, you just bear it honestly."

After Li Chuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Sheng to speak, and directly turned his head to Li Wentao and ordered: "Wentao, you drive them there, move quickly." ”

"Oh, good."

Li Wentao answered, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, immediately paused, turned around, and asked Li Chuan: "Mr. Sen, that ...... Do you want to unload your luggage first? ”

"Take it off."

After Li Chuan finished speaking, he asked Qin Sheng next to him, "Is the room all open?" ”

"Not yet."

"Then you don't care."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said to Zhu Chenwei: "Chenwei, you go and help unload the luggage, open a few more rooms, and pack up all the things." ”

"Okay."

“……”

Under Li Chuan's orders, only Li Chuan and Qin Sheng were soon left in the hotel lobby.

"Have you decided on a room for dinner?" Li Chuan asked again.

"It's set, it's inside."

"Then let's go in first."

"Hmm."

“……”

At 7:23 p.m., Li Chuan and Qin Sheng came to the private room of the hotel.

The two sat next to each other, first summoned the waiter to order the food, and then chatted casually.

"What did you give me?" Qin Sheng held the package in his arms and asked curiously while looking at it.

"If you open it and take a look, you'll know."

"Can you open it now?"

"Yes, I'm not that particular about it."

"Oh."

Qin Sheng replied and looked down at the package in his hand.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and reached out to untie the package.

There are also three packages in the package, which are the three gifts that Li Chuan prepared for Qin Sheng.

The first gift is a cosmetic box, a limited-edition collection from Lancôme.

This set of boxes is very expensive, several small bottles add up to more than 50,000 yuan, and not everyone can buy it, that is, Li Chuan helped Lancôme bring the goods before, and there are certain channels and relationships, so he can get it.

The second gift is an LV bag, which is also a limited edition.

The market price of this bag is about 800,000 yuan, but Li Chuan did not spend money to buy it, but took it from Zhu Fang.

Zhu Fang especially likes to buy bags, especially LV, almost every one of them is available, and he is a collector.

She didn't use these bags much when she bought them, so she put them in the cloakroom as decorations.

Two days ago, Li Chuan wanted to send a bag to Qin Sheng, but he didn't know how to choose, so he called Zhu Fang to consult, and after Zhu Fang heard about Qin Sheng's identity, he asked Li Chuan not to buy it himself, but to take it directly from her.

Li Chuan was also not polite, and under Zhu Fang's recommendation, he picked the most expensive one.

Zhu Fang has been buying this bag for several months, but she has never used it, and it is almost the same as a new product.

The third gift was a Tiffany white gold necklace of exquisite quality with six diamonds.

This is what Li Chuan bought casually when he went out, and it cost 128,000, which is also very expensive.

In general, these three gifts have any characteristics, and the only characteristic is that they are expensive.

Actually, Li Chuan didn't want to do this.

He knew that Qin Sheng didn't like these things, and he didn't lack them, but he couldn't help it.

He didn't know what Qin Sheng liked, so he asked Jiang Zeyu, but Jiang Zeyu didn't know.

In desperation, he could only use this local tyrant way to express his sincerity.

In his opinion, even if Qin Sheng doesn't like these things, he doesn't lack them, but as long as he spends money and spends enough, the other party will definitely appreciate it.

As long as Qin Sheng appreciates it, his goal will be achieved.

Compared to before, it doesn't really matter what the gift is.
