High point

In the car, Su Ling heard Huo Siwei's subordinates mention that tonight Huo Siwei had a friend who knew the news in advance and insisted on rushing back from other places to invite the welcome banquet. He even booked the hotel.

Huo Siwei said to the subordinate: "There is no problem with eating, but remember to write off the rent in advance."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

Huo Siwei asked Su Ling's opinion: "Su Ling, is it convenient to go together at night?"

Su Ling said: "Okay." Although it is reasonable to contact friends when you come to Hangzhou, but in the end it is troublesome for others, so let's talk about it.

The car drove to a five-star hotel located in Wulin Square. Su Ling stayed here a few times, but they were all entertained by friends or clients. The main reason is that the transportation is very convenient, and it is only a short distance away from the West Lake scenic spot.

After taking the room card, I realized that the executive suite on the 20th floor was reserved, which was too big for one person.

The rooms of Su Ling and Huo Siwei are next to each other.

A waiter quietly put the luggage in the room. Although it is not popular in China, Su Ling still gave a tip.Huo Siwei said to Su Ling at the door: "Take a rest first, and we will go to eat later."

Obviously, the host is very polite and dedicated. In the evening, I will be the host of Lou Wai Lou, one of the most famous scenic restaurants in Hangzhou.

This is a famous restaurant with a history of more than 160 years, located at the foot of West Lake Gushan.It is named after Lin Sheng's poem "Outside the mountains, outside the buildings outside the mountains", after so many years of development and transformation, it has become the most distinctive and relatively high-end banquet venue in Hangzhou.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, a huge frame of Dongyang woodcarvings is eye-catching. The decoration is very historical and Jiangnan-style. There are still many people in the lobby, and many people are still queuing up, which is very lively.

The waiter asked if there was a reservation, and the driver said it was made by a bureau in Hangzhou.

The waiter is familiar with it: "Please follow me."

Following the guidance of the waiter into the upstairs box, it gradually became quiet.

Su Ling has been to Hangzhou so many times, it's not like he hasn't been here before, but his impression is that the service attitude of this state-run restaurant is mediocre, and the dishes still have some specialties, but they can't be called delicacies in the world.

As soon as they entered the box, a young woman inside immediately stood up to greet them: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Su, they are finally here. Mr. Kang said that he will be here soon. Please sit down, both of you."

This woman speaks very fast, wearing a blue-purple foreign dress, her appearance is average, and her make-up is very delicate.

She said to the waiter, "Come here with a pot of super-grade Longjing." Obviously, she often entertained customers here, and she helped Huo Siwei and Su Ling to arrange seats while talking, and she was extremely attentive and thoughtful.

Horsway said, "Lan Hua, thank you for your hard work."

Lan Hua said: "Mr. Huo, you are really too polite every time. Do you still need to say these things to us? ——Mr. Su, this is our first meeting. I am Lan Hua, the birch of the birch tree. It is an honor to meet you." She handed over a business card with both hands.

Su Ling took it and returned her a business card: "Hi, just call me Su Ling."

Looking at the business card, it turns out that she is the secretary of the board of directors of a company with a state-owned background (Note 1). Seeing that she is only about 30 years old, it is really promising to be the secretary of the board of directors of such a large group at such a young age. No wonder... so Everything is exquisite.

Lan Hua said: "Mr. Su, to tell you the truth, I just thought that this young man was Mr. Su. He is too young and too handsome; Mr. Su, the last time your company helped a pharmaceutical company in Hangzhou Has the chain store made a system?"

Su Ling didn't expect her to do such a good job, so she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Yes."

Lan Hua said: "That system is really well done. If there is a need for this in the future, please ask Mr. Su to help us design it."

Su Ling said, "Then I thank you for taking care of my business."

Huo Siwei said: "Lan Hua is a straightforward person. From now on, Su Ling's affairs will be my business, so you don't have to worry about it." With just a few words, Huo Siwei and Su Ling's relationship was revealed, and he directly helped Su Ling After making further contact, he also complimented the other party appropriately and gave him a certain amount of respect. This is comfortable to hear, and Huo Siwei is really a master.

In fact, Su Ling knew very well when he came out this time that Huo Siwei would definitely bring him a lot of business and expand his contacts in the south. These people's eyes are higher than the top. If they don't have certain real power and qualifications, they may not really buy it. .

Just like the waiters in the building outside the building, the service attitude today is quite different from before, because this meal is invited through government relations, of course it is different. China's official-based thinking is very serious, let alone a state-owned restaurant?

Lan Hua said, "Mr. Huo, you don't need to tell me. I'll take the liberty to say that I feel amiable when I see Mr. Su today. In the future, I can do what Mr. Su does."

Su Ling smiled and said, "Don't dare."

What is a successful person?There is no single standard, but there is one thing in common: truly successful people can put their position and posture quite low at the right time, but pay attention to grasping the scale, not flattery; There is majesty, some things just need to be shown at the right time, and she is undoubtedly smart.

The premium West Lake Longjing tea was quickly served. Lan Hua took the teapot from the waiter, poured the tea herself, and said, "It stands to reason that the two of you have been in the north for a long time, so it's more suitable to drink semi-fermented tea. I just came to Hangzhou, so I have to drink some tea." Try our best green tea."

Huo Siwei said: "It is also very good to taste No.1 tea." Bian whispered to Su Ling: "Try it, the local Shifeng Longjing (Note 2) may taste better."

Su Ling picked up the classic small teacup with white background and blue patterns, took a sip, and felt a fresh and clear green tea fragrance wafting out of his nostrils, and the taste was sweet and refreshing. Although the taste was light, it had an endless aftertaste. It is fragrant on the tongue and has a unique atmosphere and gentleness. It is no wonder that Longjing tea stood out from the famous teas of all dynasties in the Qing Dynasty and became the No.1 tea. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was listed as an official diplomatic tea.

Su Ling nodded and said to Huo Siwei: "It tastes good."

At this moment, Lan Hua looked at the phone, stood up suddenly, opened the door of the box, and after a few seconds, a loud voice rang out: "I'm sorry, Kang is late!"

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.The voice was quite intimidating.

In just a few seconds, a man in dark casual clothes came in. He was of medium build, about 40 years old, with a round face and kind appearance, and his eyes were shrewd. At this moment, he was smiling all over his face. He took off his coat as soon as he walked in, and walked over to meet with him. The two shook hands: "Xiao Huo, Xiao Su, sit down quickly." Although he is not tall, he is not weak. When Su Ling shook hands with him, he felt that he shook hands with people very strongly, making people feel that this person is very strong. sincere.

Mr. Kang sat down, and then began to serve the dishes. Sure enough, he was not neglected. The dishes were served very quickly. Many of them were the specialties of Lou Wai Lou, such as the famous West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dong Po Pork, Song Sao Fish Soup, Longjing Shrimp, Beggar Chicken, Celery Lily, etc.; of course, some luxurious dishes come from improved cuisines, adding some Hangzhou flavors. For example, the shark’s fin here is not bad, and the other seafood dishes can also be seen. The work of the chef.

Since it was a treat, drinking was a must, not to mention Mr. Kang was extremely polite and asked the waiter to open two bottles of Wuliangye. Su Ling felt a little startled when he saw that the wine was full of liquid in the small transparent cup.

Huo Siwei naturally understood that he was not a good drinker, and said to him during the dinner: "Do what you can, don't force it."

Even so, in the end, Su Ling drank three or four liang, which was almost his limit.

Mr. Kang asked about the arrangements for Hosway and his party in Hangzhou in the past few days. The implication was that he would cover all the travel expenses for these few days. Hossway said that he had already made corresponding arrangements. Thank you Mr. Kang for your concern.

As soon as Mr. Kang heard that Su Ling's company was in the software industry, he immediately said that the distribution system of the group company in the second half of the year would be handed over to Su Ling. Of course, Su Ling couldn't wish for it. This is a good opportunity to establish cooperation.

After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After eating, Mr. Kang was a little drunk, Lan Hua helped him into the car.Huo Siwei declined Lan Hua's suggestion to send them back by car, expressing that he wanted to take a walk by the West Lake with Su Ling, and then go back by himself.

In the end, Lan Hua couldn't resist, so she said that if she needed anything these days, she could call her immediately.

The two expressed their thanks before she got in the car and left.

In fact, the building outside the building is beside the West Lake, and the box just now can see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

At this time, there were not too many people by the lake, and the breeze was blowing, which was very refreshing.

Huo Siwei said to Su Ling: "Did you drink too much?"

Su Ling lowered his head and smiled, and said, "It's not bad, but Mr. Huo, you're good at drinking, which is enviable."

Horsway said, "I suddenly thought of walking around the West Lake, don't you blame me?"

Su Ling shook his head, didn't speak, looked into the distance, the sky was already dark, the lake was shimmering, and there was a little bit of a cruise ship; the so-called "Willow Waves Hearing the Oriole" scene was hard to find, just a little bit of starlight and light projection under the tall willow tree On the body, there seems to be leisurely music not far away. Although it is not completely quiet, I still feel very intoxicated when I am surrounded by such beautiful scenery.

West Lake really deserves its reputation.

The two walked quietly along the shore of the lake and walked towards the famous "Broken Bridge".

"Su Ling, have you ever had a dream?" Horsway asked.

dream?Su Ling was stunned.

Horsway doesn't seem like the kind of person to ask that question.Because Su Ling knew that a man of Huo Siwei's age and status should no longer believe in so-called dreams, at least not in ideals. After all, it is different from reality, no, it is very different.

Although he didn't expect this question, Su Ling still replied: "I did. When I was young, I wanted to open a painting shop, because my elder brother is a painter... I said I would open a big painting shop, help He sells paintings." After talking about it, Su Ling seemed to recall the expression on his face when he seriously told his elder brother about it when he was a child, he really had this dream, he... never forgot it.

Huo Siwei looked at him and said: "Su Ling, your dream is very good, in fact... there will still be opportunities in the future, but it is to open a painting store for yourself, sell your own paintings, and sell many people's paintings. painting, not your elder brother's alone."

I don't know if it's because of the beautiful scenery today or the gentle breeze, or because of drinking too much wine tonight, Su Ling felt very soft in his heart, especially when Huo Siwei said these words, he had some strange emotions. "Mr. Huo..." Before they knew it, the two of them had stopped, and Su Ling knew that he was being watched by Huo Siwei.

Huswei continued: "Su Ling, when I was about 20 years old, I told myself that I wanted to get everything, no matter what, no matter who, can't stop me; but when I was 30 years old, I found that I A lot of what I'm holding in my hands isn't what I really want, I just want to have someone by my side so we can share our lives together."
