One big and one small are practicing love

Zuo Kunmin did not work for a week and rested at home. The two children were at Li Zhiming's house, and Zuo Kunmin was at home alone, sleeping, eating, doing acupuncture, and taking medicine.

After that, Zuo Kunmin worked hard for another week, arranging the company's domestic affairs.

After dealing with this, Bian Chang returned to China. Zuo Kunmin handed the children over to Bian Chang, made arrangements for the children to transfer to another school, and then went to England first.

Winter in London, England is always gloomy, with rain and strong winds every day. I don't know whether it's the weather or the unsatisfactory work, but Zuo Kunmin often feels an inexplicable boredom and depression.

After completing the acquisition of ck company, the first priority is to reconstruct the company's infrastructure, including decoration, expansion and maintenance of office buildings, factories and equipment. Zuo Kunmin made sufficient preparations for this in advance, bringing the design team, engineers, and construction teams from China, and ordering building materials.

But when he was preparing to implement it, Zuo Kunmin learned that the local government in London, England, did not accept bringing in his own engineering team. All construction products and materials had to be purchased in the UK, and the design team had to use British companies.

Zuo Kunmin sent people to investigate the local design, material, labor, tax and other expenses. It was calculated that the cost was nearly ten times higher than planned. Moreover, it was built in accordance with British standards. Many corporate functions and benefits were restricted, making it impossible to achieve reasonable development.

Zuo Kunmin cannot accept this price, nor can he accept that the company has been subject to various restrictions for a long time, resulting in sluggish economic benefits. But as a foreign private enterprise, Zuo Kunmin was unable to shake the British government's policies. Fortunately, Chen Qingyan was well acquainted with diplomats from China and Britain and had room for negotiation.

Therefore, for more than half a month, Zuo Kunmin and Chen Qingyan traveled to the Chinese Embassy, ​​the London Municipal Government, the central government and other departments. We went to various departments and officials at all levels in both countries to communicate one by one, negotiate repeatedly, sign contracts and go through various procedures.

During this period, Chen Qingyan was familiar with various government officials and obtained a lot of inside information, thus avoiding many lengthy processes.

Finally, some changes were made. The main building materials were purchased from China, but some import taxes had to be paid to the UK. The design team and engineering team brought by China could register a new company in London, but the wages paid to the workers had to be paid to the UK. Taxes and designs also have many levels of modifications, some are based on British standards, some are based on Chinese standards, and some are based on international standards.

Through various negotiations and modifications. The final construction cost dropped by nearly six floors and most of the functionality and planning could be achieved. Due to temporary changes, the construction was nearly a month later than planned, so after the new plan was finalized, Zuo Kunmin did not want to delay it for another day.

Every day, Zuo Kunmin works intensively.

Meeting with the design team to confirm construction drawings; personally visiting the port to inspect and accept decoration materials; working with engineers to survey all equipment in the factory and redesigning the functions of each area; verifying various expenses with the finance department... the first step for Chutang Enterprises to go global , Zuo Kunmin must do it himself.

Firstly, it lays a solid foundation for development; secondly, it prepares for the future expansion into a larger international market and accumulates management experience; thirdly, the investment and construction costs are huge, and Zuo Kunmin personally controls them, which can minimize risks.

Regardless of day or night, Zuo Kunmin worked with all his strength and wholeheartedly. Even on New Year's Eve, Zuo Kunmin still worked for half a day, starting at six in the morning and working until nearly noon.

After finishing his work, Zuo Kunmin returned to the office and sunk tiredly into the black leather chair. He held a cup of hot coffee in both hands and drank it slowly. Recall the work deficiencies and figure out what to do next and how to do it.

Today at 12:[-] noon, there is another dinner party with Chen Qingyan and her parents.

In order to thank them, Zuo Kunmin spared no effort to help the company during this period. They also felt that Zuo Kunmin's acquisition of the British ck company was a glorious thing for China. As a political mission, it was necessary for them to meet Zuo Kunmin for dinner on such an important day.

Zuo Kunmin ordered Chinese food to entertain them at the International Hotel near the company. It only took ten minutes to get from the office to the hotel, and with more than an hour of free time, Zuo Kunmin called Bian Chang. I wanted to ask what she and the children were doing and what they had for lunch.

The call was answered quickly. Unexpectedly, Bian Chang said that the children missed their father. She was driving the children to Zuo Kunmin's office.

"Okay, come on, I'll wait for you in the office." Zuo Kunmin said.

"Where to eat for lunch? What to eat?" Bian Chang asked.

Zuo Kunmin took a deep breath and said, "We'll talk about it when you get here."

Since leaving China, Zuo Kunmin has not seen the children for a month and he misses them. On New Year's Eve, Zuo Kunmin also wanted to reunite with his family. I thought, it would be nice if they came, and they would arrange a table of meals. After eating politely with Chen Qingyan's family for a while, I had an excuse to leave early and spend some time with the children.

Thinking about it, Zuo Kunmin called again and booked another room and a table of meals in that hotel. I called Bian Chang back, but she didn't answer. She thought it was difficult for her to answer the phone because she was driving. So I sent her a message telling her the address and room number.

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin saw that his phone had received many New Year blessing messages, WeChat, emails and other reminders. Zuo Kunmin entered 'Xiao Xiao' in the search bar and clicked search. There is no new news from her.

Holding the phone and looking at Liu Xiaochen's new number, Zuo Kunmin sighed deeply. I think she changed her mobile phone number and WeChat ID because she didn't want to find her. But at this moment, his thoughts were overwhelming, and Zuo Kunmin still dialed her number regardless of his face.

"Beep - beep - beep -" Zuo Kunmin held his breath during every interval between the ringtones, fearing that her voice would be missed when the call was connected. After a while, a fine layer of sweat oozed from his palms. Zuo Kunmin had not been so nervous for a long time.

On the fifth ring, the call was finally connected.

"Hello! Teacher Zuo."

Hearing her familiar voice calling the words 'Teacher Zuo', Zuo Kunmin suddenly felt his heart heat up. He breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile: "Yes! Xiaoxiao."

Ask questions and listen to her answers and questions with a smile. Answer her questions carefully and ask again immediately. Talking back and forth like this, Happy New Year, where are you, what did you eat, how is your work, what have you been doing recently...

In a distant foreign country, in this cold winter, Zuo Kunmin felt warm physically and mentally for the first time. The tired muscles seemed to be relaxed by some force, and they really felt relaxed and stretched.

As he said that, he thought of the two of them staying together every night when they came home from get off work. Either chatting for a while, or having some gentle skin-to-skin contact, or not saying or doing anything, just sitting quietly with each other for a while, you can feel the relaxation and nourishment of your body and mind.

Reaffirm the physical and mental energy Liu Xiaochen brings and confirm that she still has feelings for him. Zuo Kunmin thought that after he finished his busy life and returned to China to find her, the two of them should be able to get back together.

"When will you return to Beijing? There are people cleaning the house at home. When you arrive in Beijing, you can go home and live there." Zuo Kunmin said.

"Before I bought the train ticket, Zhang Cheng was using the ticket grabbing software to help me grab the ticket. I made an agreement with Liya to live with her. I will only stay in Beijing for a day or two. The company has assigned a position. I will go to Hangzhou to work soon."

"Stop grabbing it. I'll send a driver to pick you up from your hometown."

"No!" Liu Xiaochen simply refused without explaining.

……

While they were chatting, the door to the office rang, and Zuo Kunmin looked up at the glass door. Seeing Chen Qingyan swiping his card with a smile, he opened the door and came in.
