The city of Vostok was covered with snow and ice, and even a large amount of ice floes appeared on the seaside, making this ice-free port unworthy of its name.

Pedestrians on the street are very scarce, and in this cold weather, everyone prefers to stay at home, relying on the warm fire, tasting black tea from China and eating a few sweet and greasy snacks.

Located on the central street, the Huaxia apartment is not very cold because of the arrival of winter, and the heating and fire make it warm like spring.

Beside the red fire, Zhang Xuebing sat on an antique mahogany chair in a white silk pajamas, sipping coffee.

Next to him was the stone preparing his clothes for today.

Today is the third day that Zhang Xuebing arrived in Vostok.

On that day, after everyone met at the hill pass, it was too ??????????????? At night, I camped where I was.

Polysva explained what had happened.

It turned out that after she escorted the batch of supplies back, she didn't see Zhang Xuebing when she handed over the stone.

After asking, I realized that he had chosen to cross the border.

She waited for three days and still didn't see Zhang Xuebing, and there was no news from the stone.

She thought that Zhang Xuebing was in trouble on the road, so she mobilized a team of people to pick it up.

They first went to the border forest and found the abandoned off-road vehicle, only to learn that Zhang Xuebing and they had encountered an accident or got lost.

Later, in the vast snowfield, they encountered someone chasing them with a climbing plow, and there was almost a fight.

In the end, I found out that the other party was Jiaomu Jiao, and I also learned that Zhang Xuebing was nearby.

After some searching, they saw the light of the fire in the distance, and then they found the small mountain pass.

At this moment, Zhang Xuebing knew that they were actually very close to the road, and this place was not far from the forest where they had lost their way.

As for the volcanic area and Huojia Village, they are actually taking the wrong road.

But it was precisely because of the wrong road that the gold mine was discovered, which can be described as a blessing in disguise.

That night, everyone feasted on roe deer meat and all kinds of food brought by themselves, and also had a bonfire drinking party.

When she took a break, Polis was still clinging to Zhang Xuebing.

This made him feel alarmed again, wondering if this woman must have some kind of conspiracy.

But here, he couldn't offend her, so Zhang Xuebing dealt with the past with a false promise.

After two days of traveling, they finally returned to Vostok.

Zhang Xuebing and the others were so tired that they almost ran out of breath.

On the first day, Zhang Xuebing didn't care about anything, took a hot bath and fell asleep.

I slept for a day and a night.

The next day, after he had fully recovered his mental and physical strength, he began to get down to business.

First understand all the goods and the current prices in Vostok, and then carefully analyze the current situation, this is another busy day.

Today, Zhang Xuebing plans to convene a meeting of the main persons in charge of the business group.

This meeting was also brewing all the way to him, in addition to making some arrangements, he also had to deeply understand the current situation of the merchant group and whether those rumors were true.

The stone helped Zhang Xuebing change into a more formal suit, and also helped him comb his hair and put on a tie.

When these things were in the village, they were absolutely untouchable, but after arriving in Vostok, it only took two months for this guy to figure out the rules and etiquette of these foreign dresses, even better than Zhang Xuebing.

Everything was cleaned up, and Shi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Bing is all done, do you think you want to call Manager Chai and them over?" ”

Zhang Xuebing stood up and saw his appearance in the mirror on the floor, looking like a mature and stable successful person.

And he is also a lot older, with a majestic momentum on his face, and he is not angry and arrogant between his eyebrows.

Although this is not very satisfying, it is very suitable for a meeting with his subordinates.

So he nodded and said, "Call them over, prepare a good pot of tea, and get some snacks!" ”

The stone glanced at the boss, and said in his heart that this was going to be the rhythm of a tea party.

After the stone went out, Zhang Xuebing adjusted the position of the chair, so that the firelight could only shine on his back, so that his face disappeared into the darkness, and he looked more majestic and solemn.

After his emotions were brewing, there was a knock at the door.

Zhang Xuebing waited for a few seconds before he said in a deep voice, "Please come in!" ”

As the door opened, the management of the business group headed by Chai Yongkun rushed in.

Four or five people, standing at the door, looked at Zhang Xuebing.

Several of them suddenly felt a sense of depression and urgency, and under the light of the blazing fire, their faces became serious, and there was a sense of uneasiness.

Chai Yongkun first said, "Hello Boss Zhang, I see you again!" ”

The rest of the people also immediately extended their greetings to Zhang Xuebing.

Zhang Xuebing took a look at a large number of them, and found that except for Chai Yongkun and Gao Xiaojie, the other two were very faceless.

"Come and sit down, don't be so restrained, let's just talk casually!"

Zhang Xuebing motioned for them to sit down.

Chai Yongkun picked the closest position to Zhang Xuebing, but Gao Xiaojie chose to sit at the door, and the other two were very restrained, sitting on the sofa and looking nervously at the boss they met for the first time.

At this time, the stone entered the door with a tray and handed out teacups to everyone! Gao Xiaojie rushed to get the teapot and helped everyone get tea.

Zhang Xuebing felt that they should have adapted to it for a while, so he began to speak.

"I'm here this time, and I need to deal with a lot of things, so I won't go around the corner, Lao Chai, you can introduce me to the person in charge of the business group first, some I don't know yet!"

Chai Yongkun said nervously, "You have seen me and Gao Xiaojie, these two tall ones are called Xie Qiang, and the other one is called Wang Jian, they are all old backpackers, they are experienced, and they are steady, so I asked them to be assistants!" ”

Zhang Xuebing said noncommittally, "Along the way, I have heard a lot of rumors about the business group, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Hearing this, Chai Yongkun was stunned for a few seconds before he said, "I usually focus on work, and I really don't have the heart to listen to those gossip, I don't know what the boss heard?" ”

Zhang Xuebing's gaze roamed over the faces of the rest of the servants, "Manager Chai is busy, I didn't hear it, didn't you hear it either?" ”

Gao Xiaojie looked a little speechless and stopped.

Zhang Xuebing pointed at her and said, "It's all your own people, just say what you have!" ”

Gao Xiaojie slowly stood up and said a little hesitantly.

"Did the boss hear that there were rumors of nepotism on the side of the merchant group?"

Chai Yongkun smiled embarrassedly, "Where is this, the purpose of the establishment of our business group is so that Chinese businessmen can be together here, how can they be nepotistic?" ”
