Chapter 499: 'Trembling'
Whether it is because of the profession that politicians in the United States always need to show their heads, or because of their beautiful and outstanding figure and appearance, Tracy has long been accustomed to being the focus of others, and Zhang Lisheng, who is often worshiped by tens of millions of natives in 'Wuli Island', will not care about the eyes of others.
The two ignored the surrounding approach to the elevator, until they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting, "Li Sheng, Zhang Li Sheng...", and then stopped in confusion.
After stopping, Zhang Lisheng turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a handsome Asian young woman walking briskly towards him, he was stunned at first, and then stared at the girl with a completely different temperament from his impression, and said dumbfounded: "Cai, Senior Sister Caiying, why did you appear here?"
The girl who shouted Zhang Lisheng was Guo Caiying, who had studied with him in 'Stanford' and later saved his life in the 'Oasis World'.
Came to Noah's World with the company's delegation to investigate the development of alternative energy. ”
Zhang Lisheng was only 16 years old when he left China, and he grew up in a mountain village, so he didn't know that if a 'red son' like Guo Caiying, who was born in China, wanted to have a good future in the political circles, he naturally had a shortcut to the south, and the fastest one was to become a cadre in a state-owned enterprise funded by the Chinese government.
Due to the different nature of enterprises and administrative institutions, it is difficult to attract attention even if you are promoted quickly in a company. Even if it is really noticed, the sentence that this is an unconventional 'corporate behavior' to attract talents will leave people speechless.
After being promoted to a certain position, the important positions of China's large state-owned enterprises have become converted to the level of the administrative organs, and the general managers and chairmen of some monopoly enterprises can even be directly transferred to any provincial important person or ministerial official, although they are usually deputy positions, but sometimes the time saved will be calculated in 'ten years'.
For example, Guo Caiying's 'Huaxia Energy Co., Ltd.' is a vice-ministerial-level unit under the leadership of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Huaguo, and its subordinate new energy research center is at the level of deputy department, and the central office and translation department are at the level of deputy department, which means that the administrative level that Guo Caiying can now enjoy is equivalent to the deputy position of the party committee and government at the county and district level in Huaguo.
Of course, the two are only at the same level, but the rights are very different. But if you are promoted step by step within the administrative sequence 'system'. Even if the starting point is 'selection and transfer' and he works in the Communist Youth League organization, where young people are promoted rapidly, it is absolutely impossible for him to be promoted to the level of deputy department in just three or two years.
And even if he is promoted, it violates Huaguo's 'cadre appointment regulations', and it is easy to leave a handle. In any case, it is not as favorable as 'curve employment'.
If you don't know the way, you can't understand it. The young man was stunned and said, "Senior sister." Aren't you planning to go on to graduate school in natural sciences, how did you become a translator for an energy company?
And now that the translators jointly produced by Atlantis and the big earth companies have come out, there is no need for such a profession as translation, right?"
"Strictly speaking, there is no need for translation now. But our department hasn't had time to change the brand, in short, you don't understand the operation mode of Huaguo state-owned enterprises, and I will never lose my job without translation. After Guo Caiying made a joke, she suddenly sighed and continued with a wry smile that seemed much more mature than before: "Li Sheng, the last encounter in the 'Oasis World Realm' broke my ideals.
Isn't it stupid to study what natural sciences are studying, not to mention that my parents didn't allow me to go back to the United States for graduate school, so I stayed at home for more than ten days, and finally accepted my father's arrangement to participate in the work.
"That's not bad..."Zhang Lisheng nodded, feeling that he had nothing to say anymore, so he was silent for a while and said, "I'm here to attend a dinner party, so..."
"I'll take you there, the dinner you're going to attend is to welcome our 'delegation'.
By the way, although your girlfriend is a change from the last time I saw her in the café on the Stanford campus, I recognized her at a moment when we met, and we both have been bickering for hours, didn't she tell you?"
"Oh, she only said that she was receiving Chinese merchants, and she wanted to give me a 'surprise' at the dinner..."Zhang Lisheng shook his head and said.
"Yes. Guo Caiying took off her glasses and put them in her coat pocket, and after taking off her top, she turned into an evening dress that originally looked like a two-section professional suit.
After that, she let go of her hair, let the 'ponytail' spread out vertically to her shoulders, restrained her polite temperament, showed her lively and delicate beauty, pointed to Tracy who had never spoken, and said, "Li Sheng, is this Miss Atlantis your friend?"
"I forgot to introduce you to each other, Tracy Steger, mine, my good friend, she is not from Atlantis, but she activated the ancient blood of Aryantes," the young man was stunned for a moment, first pointed at Tracy and replied to Guo Caiying, and then pointed his fingertips at Guo Caiying and said to Tracy: "He is Guo Caiying, the senior sister I met at 'Stanford', who helped me a lot." ”
"Junior brother, compared to your help to me, it is still far, far away. Guo Caiying looked at Zhang Lisheng with a deep smile and smiled, and made a familiar and cordial salute to Trixie, "Hello Miss Trixi, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Hello Miss Guo Caiying, I am also deeply honored to know you," Tracy showed the demeanor of a New York celebrity, also showing eight snow-white teeth, and suddenly grabbed Zhang Lisheng's arm and said: "The dinner is about to start, as guests, we had better not be late..."
"You're right, let's go. Guo Caiying naturally grabbed the arm of the other half of the young man on one side and replied with a smile.
A man bringing two female companions to a dinner party may seem subtle to the East, but it is not common in Western social circles.
Zhang Lisheng had also experienced such a scene when dealing with business receptions before, Zhilu Dao only needed to put his hands on the waists of the two girls decently, and walked directly into the banquet hall with a smile on his face, even if he had completed the task, but today he didn't know what to do, but he felt very awkward.
Fortunately, the journey from the hotel lobby to the banquet hall on the top floor by elevator was not too long, and after the young man entered the woodcarved gate full of the style of 'otherworldly', he looked around in the crowd and found his girlfriend, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tricy, senior sister, I'll go see Tina first." ", got rid of the 'pinch' of the two girls.
The ballroom is rectangular in shape, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters, and the middle of the roof is inlaid with a piece of transparent tempered glass, so that the huge stars twinkling in the sky are clearly visible.
The four walls that support the ceiling, with the exception of the one facing the hotel corridor, are also translucent, and this design gives the illusion of floating in the air with the flat slabs of sand and stone that are laid on the floor, and it is said that the architect created a masterpiece inspired by the hanging gardens of the lost ancient civilization of Babylon.
Zhang Lisheng passed by a few chatting guests, bypassed the table full of food and wine, and was covered with a white tablecloth, and came to Tina, who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a crisp black suit, a white shirt, and a black bow tie. ”
"Oh, baby finally saw you, if it weren't for the fact that the merchant who came here today is too important, I would have picked you up a long time ago..."
After a few seconds of forgetting to kiss, the girl's sanity gradually recovered, she was reluctant to open Li Sheng easily, and whispered, "Baby, we have to feast now, and we will talk slowly in the evening." He turned to the Asian man he was talking to and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Lu, I haven't seen my boyfriend for a long time, all..."
"It's okay Miss Doegria, it's understandable that everyone is young," the Asian man shook his head gently, turning his gaze from Tina to Zhang Lisheng, "But I didn't expect your boyfriend to be an Asian with black hair and yellow skin like me." ”
"Li Sheng is not only Asian, but grew up in China like you until the age of sixteen, so he should be your compatriot from this point of view. ”
"Yes," the Asian man stretched out his hand to Zhang Lisheng in surprise and said humorously: "Hello compatriot, I'm Lu Shangyou." ”
"Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is Zhang Lisheng. "China has a population of more than one billion, on average, there is one Chinese in every five people on the earth, Zhang Lisheng didn't feel that it was unusual to meet his compatriots, and replied casually, his attitude did not contain too much enthusiasm.
Lu Shangyou always laughs before saying a word, but in fact, he is very arrogant in his heart, seeing that the young man seems absent-minded, there is anger in his eyes, and he no longer takes the initiative to talk to Zhang Lisheng, but because he still has to ask for help, he can't attack, so he can only say to Tina, "Miss Dogelina, since your boyfriend is here, then I won't bother."
We will have the opportunity to talk about the issue of 'agency' at a later stage. He turned around and strode towards the champagne in the shape of a pyramid not far away, and drank three or four glasses in a row before he felt 'smooth'.
After drinking the wine, Lu Tiandao lowered his head and licked his lips, looking around, intending to find another 'Mi Guoyan' set of friends with enough weight, but inadvertently saw a trembling back next to the translucent wall in the corner of the banquet hall. (To be continued......)
PS: Today, because my brain doesn't turn around after drinking in a row, a chapter is written from nine o'clock in the evening, which is really fatal
