The 2006 World Cup in Germany is getting better, and the time difference between Germany and Egypt is only one hour, so you don't have to stay up late to watch the game like in China.

On the evening of July 1, Brazil played France in the quarterfinals.

Tsang Zijian, Shi Shi, and Xiao Ali, a partner of their Egyptian travel company "Oasis", had dinner and watched football together at the "Casino".

This "Casino" is not the English word "Casino" for casinos, but a riverside restaurant on the other side of the Nile, not far from the "Four Seasons Hotel" in Giza.

The restaurant was half on the shore and half on the water, and the three of them chose a quiet location closest to the river.

Before the ball game started, there happened to be a group of young people in Cairo at the birthday party, the restaurant stereo played a birthday song loudly, a girl holding a birthday cake, the cake was inserted in the small fireworks sticks that were being set off, several guys and girls followed him in a line around the open-air restaurant running happily, shouting loudly, the whole restaurant atmosphere became lively.

Half a year ago, Xiao Ali bought the travel company "Oasis" where Shishi went to work before, Zeng Zijian was a minority shareholder, and Shishi became the Chinese manager of the company.

"Oasis" is not small, in addition to the general travel agency business, it also operates its own tour buses, and there is a luxury cruise ship on the Nile River in the south, like the one in the movie "Tragedy on the Nile", which offers tourists a cruise between the two cities of Aswan and Luxor.

Zeng Zijian drew cakes for Shishi early, saying that he would suggest that the company buy another cruise ship and name it "Sisi", which means "Princess Sisi" in Chinese, but "Princess Shishi". But the company didn't make money as fast as he imagined, and he didn't persuade Ali to inject further capital.

Zeng Zijian carefully cut the steak on the plate into small pieces, and only after cutting them did he fork them one by one and stuff them into his mouth.

He put down his knife and fork and said to little Ali: "I still think we should expand the scale of 'Oasis', we should set up our own offices in China, find agents in various provinces, and then, we should buy another cruise ship in the south, and the Nile four-day, three-night luxury cruise will be very attractive to the Chinese." ”

Little Ali put down his knife and fork, raised his head, and said, "Zeng, I have a suggestion, you two can invest more money into 'Oasis', for example, the money to buy another ship, so that your stake in the company will increase, and you will invest more and the return will be greater." I know a friend who is in a hurry to sell his boat, which will get a good price, and we can take that ship and put it into operation immediately. ”

Zeng Zijian asked: "Don't you want to increase investment?" Have you found a better business? ”

"Zeng, you are really a very smart person", little Ali looked around, the group of birthday young people were smearing cream on each other's faces, he said mysteriously: "My father's company, the stock of 'Oscar Telecom' will rise well in the coming year, and my money is invested in the stock market." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, but this increase is not because of the company's operating performance, you don't interpret it from the perspective of your 'Weizhong' salesperson, it's just a game of capital. It's a secret, and I can't tell you the details, but if you're interested, consider investing some money in the Egyptian stock market. ”

Zeng Zijian shook his head: "I don't understand stocks, I want us to add a ship." ”

The match didn't end until near midnight, with Zinedine Zidane setting up Thierry Henry to score from a free-kick in the second half, and France eliminated Brazil 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Germany.

Tsang and Shi Shi said goodbye to little Ali at the entrance of the "Casino" and then walked towards the "Four Seasons Hotel" not far away, where they stayed in this hotel less than 100 meters from the Nile.

Shishi took Zijian's arm and walked, asking, "Why don't you speak?" Your big Luo and Xiao Luo have been eliminated, isn't it happy? ”

Zeng Zijian said: "Wife, I want to increase the money we put in 'Oasis' and buy the boat that Xiao Ali talked about, what do you think?" ”

Shishi replied: "A ship is very expensive, how much private money have you hidden?" ”

Zeng Zijian said: "I was counting while watching the game just now, we keep one house in China, sell the rest, plus the money given by Brother Wang, I have not moved, if it is not enough, I will raise some money in China." Little Ali said that the boat could be used immediately after it was picked up, and maybe it would be able to open in time for the National Day Golden Week. ”

"You're going to put all your eggs in this basket? If you like Egypt, you like Egypt, are you putting on a posture of immigration? Not to no? ”

"Immigrating to Egypt is not enough, but Egypt's political situation is stable, tourism resources are abundant, in recent years, more and more Chinese have come out to play, reluctant to let children not catch the wolf, how to make money without investing?" I think it's going to work well and there will be no problem. ”

"Well, if you think clearly, I believe you and listen to you."

While talking, the two of them walked into the "Four Seasons Hotel", it was too late, there were no other guests in the lobby, and the elevator to the guest room always stopped on the upper floor for some reason.

Shishi said impatiently: "Who is doing what the hell on it?" The elevator doesn't come down for half a day, where did the waiter go? ”

Zeng Zijian grabbed Shishi's hand: "Let's go, let's go up the stairs." ”

They pushed open the fire door, the voice-activated light in the stairwell turned on instantly, Zeng Zijian had been holding Shishi's hand, went up two floors, and walked to the corner, he suddenly pulled Shishi and kissed him undoubtedly.

Shishi pushed him: "What are you doing?" Did you take the wrong medicine? ”

Zeng Zijian didn't say anything, pushed Shishi against the wall, raised her two resisting hands high, folded her two wrists together, pressed hard against the wall with her left hand, and then put her right hand into Shishi's clothes.

Shishi begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, let's go back to the room first, okay?" Husband. ”

Zeng Zijian still didn't say anything and kissed her silently. The voice-activated lights go out, and the stairwell returns to pitch black, the darkness giving Shishi a sense of secrecy, and she begins to respond to him.

……

After the event, Shishi's two hands put her arms around Zeng Zijian's neck, bit him the shoulder, and said: "Husband, in fact, I like you on the surface, but in fact you are domineering and domineering, and you are a Sven scum." ”

She let go of her hand and said coquettishly while arranging her clothes: "Zeng Zijian, I know that you have made up your mind to buy a boat today and made a major decision in your life, are you looking for me to vent your feelings?" But let me tell you, today is not a safe period. ”

Zeng Zijian finally spoke: "The one who knows me is you!" Afraid of what? Our old husband and wife have given birth to a baby, right? ”

When Qian Dan met Zhang Wang in a Chinese restaurant in Khartoum, Zhang Wang said to him, "Do you think I took Zeng Zijian to the ditch?" I can tell you responsibly that I am not qualified enough to show him the way. It seems that you don't know your good friend, but he is much better than me. ”

Indeed, no one can design a life for Zeng Zijian.

"Weizhong" strictly forbids employees to engage in a second career, but Zeng Zijian did not hesitate to partner with Xiao Ali to enter the local tourism industry as soon as he decided that there was a good opportunity.

In fact, he is the one who has caused the biggest trouble to Weizhong's competitive projects in North Africa and the Middle East in the past year. But it was not Zhang Wang who pulled him into the water, it was he who took the initiative to propose to Zhang Wang from the beginning that the two sides cooperated, and it was he who designed the way of cooperation between the two sides.

Zeng Zijian is very careful, he will not do things such as secretly selling confidential documents and materials, but only leak the quotation of "Weizhong" to the other party at the critical moment of major project bidding, or point out the other party in the bidding strategy.

He never leaves written records such as emails and text messages, and every time he asks Zhang Wang to meet, or uses the most concise phone call to inform.

In the past year, Zeng Zijian has received a lot of money in his bank account in Dubai.

On the evening of July 9, in the final of the World Cup in Germany, the Italian team played against the French team.

Qian Dan, Su Lin, Lin Han, and Xiaoyu watched a game at an Italian restaurant on Maadi Street 231.

Maybe it's because there are a lot of hot spots recently, maybe it's not written vigorously enough, maybe it's because Lao Niu's popularity is not bad, Lin Han's post on the "Haijiao Forum" of "A certain leader of the North Africa Middle East Department" posted only a few hundred clicks, and more than a dozen painless replies quickly sank.

Lao Niu saw the post, he thought to himself that it should be the little boys around Xiaoyu who did it, I don't know who bumped into him and kissed Xiaoyu in the swimming pool of Maadi Club that night? He didn't show his face, he didn't take it seriously, and there was nothing to worry about with an empty post that didn't name him.

He didn't plan to ask Xiaoyu for the time being, who knows what else the jealous little boys will do? There's no need to get into a mess with their general knowledge.,Recently, a girl from HR came to the regional department and it seems to be good.,He decided to change the target.。

Xiaoyu also saw the post, and she was indeed as unsure as Lin Han had imagined whether the things in the post had anything to do with her. Lao Niu forcibly kissed himself in the swimming pool of the Maadi Club, and the leader mentioned in the post was harassing girls in the swimming pool of the Olympic Stadium. She just secretly sighed in her heart, how could the leaders be like this?

Lin Han saw that the post sank quickly, and he had no intention of pushing it up, and the sullen breath in his heart was out.

During that time, Lin Han never made an appointment with Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu was working overtime every day.

After Qian Dan and Su Lin visited the pyramid together, they felt more familiar and cordial with each other.

This night, the four of them finally got together.

Qian Dan likes Zidane and is a fan of the French team, Su Lin is not a fan, but she likes the Italian team and the male models of the Italian team, and she and Qian Dan cheer for the warring sides-for-tat.

Qian Dan ridiculed her for being a fake fan and really blind, and she threatened Qian Dan to cheer for the French in an Italian restaurant and beware of being smashed with pizza by the Italian uncle next to her.

Lin Han tried to explain the tactics on the court to Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu just shouted with Su Lin: "So handsome!" ”

The two teams battled in the dark, with Zinedine Zidane knocking out Materazzi headlong in extra-time and Lippi's side winning on penalties and the Italians having the last laugh.

The game is over, and the quadrennial football festival comes to an end.

The hustle and bustle was quiet, and the dim street lamps shone in front of the Italian restaurant, illuminating the faces of the four people.

The four of them broke up outside the door, Lin Han's mood was still high, and he shouted loudly: "Boss, you take a taxi to send Su Lin back, I'll send Xiaoyu, we are close, just take a walk and go back." ”

Lin Han and Xiaoyu were walking on the boulevard of Maadi, and Xiaoyu suddenly said, "I'll tell you something." ”

Lin Han said nervously, "What's the matter?" Every time you say to me, 'I'll tell you something,' it's probably not a good thing. ”

"I'm going on a long business trip to Morocco, have you ever been to Morocco?"

"Morocco? I haven't been, how long is it? ”

"It's a long difference, at least half a year, maybe longer."

Lin Han opened his mouth wide: "Is there a mistake?" What are you going to Morocco for? Your department has to travel for that long time? It's crazy. ”

Xiaoyu is always such a delicate voice: "The leader arranged it, Brother Dan asked you to go to Sudan on a business trip, and you didn't go right away." Our colleague in Morocco was on maternity leave, there was a shortage of people, and the leader asked me to go over for a while. ”

"Can you still come back? When are you going? ”

"I'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Lin Han suddenly forgot to reminisce about the World Cup and began to think about it.

He thought: Xiaoyu can get rid of the old cow now, but he can also get rid of himself!

If she goes to Morocco, she may provoke a lot of flowers and plants, right? Are you out of sight? Or will there be more concerns? She set off the next day and told herself tonight, is this because she has no heart and no lungs and no concern for herself? In the end, I've always been self-inflicted? Fortunately, he didn't confess seriously, wouldn't it be humiliating to confess seriously?

Xiaoyu knew in her heart that she accepted this business trip very happily, and there was some subconscious escape in it, but she didn't know what she was evading? Just old cows? Or does it also include the paternalistic "education" that Lin Han has always been unable to stop for a period of time?

Qian Dan felt disappointed that Zidane missed the Hercules Cup with a red card.

Su Lin looked at his dejected appearance and felt amused, and said, "I don't want to sit on the 'Black Cat Sheriff', you can send me back." ”

Qian Dan looked at his watch: "Didn't you go to bed on time at half past ten?" It's long gone. ”

Su Lin stuck out her tongue and said defiantly: "Occasionally, with an exception, it's not the handsome guys from Italy who have won the championship, I'm in a very good mood." ”

"Well, the French team lost, I'm in a very bad mood, take a walk with you and relax."

The light of the street lamp hit Su Lin's face, stretching the shadow on the ground.

Her facial features are not exquisite, but they are very sculptural; Her figure can't be said to be protruding forward and backward, but there is a smooth curve between her waist and hips; Her gestures are always filled with the sunny atmosphere of a girl.

The two of them have known each other for a short time, but they seem to have been friends for many years.

The two of them walked for a long time and walked downstairs to her dormitory.

Su Lin asked, "Do you want to go upstairs and drink a glass of water?" ”

Qian Dan said with some embarrassment: "I'm not thirsty, but I want to go to your dormitory to borrow a bathroom, is it convenient?" ”

"No problem."

Qian Dan came out of the bathroom, and Su Lin stood by the bedroom window, facing out of the window.

He was about to go over and say goodbye, but Su Lin didn't look back, and spoke first: "Come here, take a look at the river view of my house!" ”

It turned out that Su Lin's dormitory was only across the road from the Nile, and her bedroom window was facing the river.

She glanced at Qian Dan and said proudly: "I called you up just to show off my invincible river-view room, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Qian Dan looked at the river flowing quietly under the night, was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really good!" There is an Egyptian proverb that says, 'As long as you drink the water of the Nile, no matter how far you go in the future, you will come back one day.'" ’”

Su Lin nodded: "The world is unpredictable, before I came, I thought, 'It's miserable!'" I was sent to Africa', I didn't expect to feel like I was going to fall in love with Cairo so soon. ”

He rapped: "Talent is the best scenery, maybe you stand upstairs and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you on the river." ”

She didn't seem to hear it, but in fact she heard it in her heart, happily left the window, walked to the door, and opened the door: "Okay, you should go back, I'm going to sleep, good night!" ”
