The Pentium Era - South to North

At six o'clock, Mr. Xia told Jin Lili that we were ready to leave. He took out two boxes from the safe in his office, a Rolex GMT-Master and a Rolex Cherry Tray, and put them into his bag.

At 6:40, they arrived at Nanzhuang. Mr. Xia and Jin Lili said, go and order the food. The game would be a mountain turtle stewed with cobra, mainly seafood. As Mr. Xia said, he stretched out a finger and raised it in front of him. After some gestures, Jin Lili understood that this was the point that made her choose the more expensive one.

Mr. Xia was waiting at the gate. Jin Lili called the ordering clerk and told her to order food in three eight-box rooms. The ordering clerk led her to order game at the gate first, and then to the seafood pool inside the gate. seafood.

After Jin Lili ordered the food, she returned to the gate. Mr. Xia was still standing there alone. Jin Lili asked, "He hasn't arrived yet?"

Mr. Xia looked at his watch and said it should be soon.

While the two were talking, they saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses coming from the bustling crowd at the door. Mr. Xia quickly walked down the steps and greeted him, and Jin Lili followed.

Mr. Xia shook hands with the visitor, introduced to Jin Lili that this was Secretary-General Xiao, and then introduced to the Secretary-General that this was Xiao Jin, from our company.

"New here?" Secretary-General Xiao asked.

Jin Lili was stunned. She thought that I have been here for more than half a year, so I am not new, but I have never met you. But Mr. Xia said, yes, the new one is also from Zhejiang.

"Oh, where is it?" Secretary-General Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Yongcheng." Jin Lili said.

"Ha, what a coincidence. I also joined a team in Yongcheng, Baishiqiao, do you know?" Secretary-General Xiao smiled and asked.

"I know, my grandma's house is in Baishiqiao."

Jin Lili smiled and said that Baishiqiao is a town below Yongcheng. Jin Lili is very familiar with it. Many of her former colleagues from the bearing factory were from Baishiqiao. She often went to play with them, but her grandmother's house was in Baishiqiao. It's nonsense. Jin Lili just thinks that saying this can bring her and Secretary-General Xiao closer.

Sure enough, Secretary-General Xiao reached out and shook her hand again. He patted the back of her hand with his other hand and said with a smile: "In that case, we are still fellow villagers. Baishiqiao is my second hometown, Haicheng." It’s third.”

The three people were talking when someone came over. Secretary-General Xiao glanced at him. The man nodded and bowed to Secretary-General Xiao, and at the same time stretched out his hand: "Hello Secretary-General!"

Secretary-General Xiao shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Hello, hello."

After the man shook hands and went over, Mr. Xia asked, "Who is this?"

"I can't remember either." Secretary-General Xiao looked at the man's back, shook his head, and frowned: "Why did you choose this place? What bothers me the most is that everyone is familiar with me when I eat here."

Mr. Xia and Jin Lili said, "Let's go up and you wait here."

Mr. Xia accompanied Secretary-General Xiao upstairs. Jin Lili also retreated to the door above the steps. The BB camera in her bag rang. She looked at it and saw that it belonged to Zhang Chen. Oh no, I was just thinking about how to deal with this dinner today. , settled the bank, kept hearing the word weekend, and even forgot that this was also the weekend for me and Zhang Chen, and I didn't even say hello to Zhang Chen.

Jin Lili wanted to go inside to the cashier to call Zhang Chen. She walked to the door of the lobby on the first floor and stopped again. She saw many people standing in front of the cashier, as if they were waiting for the rebate machine. There were so many people, Don't know how long it will take.

Jin Lili thought for a while and returned to the gate. If the guests arrived when she went inside to answer the call, then she would really miss something important. Jin Lili thought to herself that she might as well wait upstairs and get Mr. Xia's eldest brother Big, go back to the corridor.

After a while, Director Luo arrived. Director Luo was an old acquaintance. Jin Lili had eaten with him many times. Jin Lili walked down the steps and said, "Hello, Director Luo."

"I forgot again, my name is Lao Luo." Director Luo said. Jin Lili smiled shyly, and Director Luo patted her on the back of the head: "It will last forever."

Jin Lili quickly said coquettishly: "Let it go, let it go, I will remember it, and I will never dare to do it again."

"Lao Xiao is here?"

"arrive."

"Then I'll go up." Director Luo said and went upstairs.

After a while, Director Huang came over with his hands behind his back. Before Jin Lili opened her mouth, several greeters at the door shouted: "Hello, Director Huang!"

The waiters and order takers who were walking back and forth also stopped one by one and said to Director Huang, "Hello, Director."

Director Huang was laughing all the way, and Jin Lili came up to meet him. Director Huang said: "Xiao Jin, is three or eight right?"

Jin Lili smiled and said yes, a guest was coming to show Director Huang the way. Director Huang waved his hand and I went up by myself. The guest smiled brightly, Director, are you so stingy that you don't want me to accompany you up the stairs?

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Director Huang laughed.

As soon as Director Huang left, Jin Lili saw President Shi walking with a lean man in his forties. The two of them were joking affectionately as they walked. Jin Lili guessed that this person should be President Wu.

Jin Lili led the two presidents upstairs to the door of the "888" box. The waiter opened the door for them. Jin Lili felt that President Wu was obviously startled, and then walked in quickly.

When Mr. Xia saw the two presidents, he quickly stood up. Secretary-General Xiao, Director Luo, and Director Huang were all sitting. They looked at President Wu and then at President Shi.

President Wu walked a few steps and arrived in front of Secretary-General Xiao. He smiled and said, "The Secretary-General is also here. I'm glad to meet you."

Then he said to Director Luo, "Director Luo, it's also a pleasure to meet you."

Secretary-General Xiao and Director Luo both looked at him with some doubts in their eyes. Mr. Xia quickly introduced them to them, saying that this was President Wu of the Overseas Bank Head Office, and this was President Shi of the Guomao Branch.

"Deputy, deputy." President Wu said quickly.

Secretary-General Xiao and Director Luo stood up and shook hands with the two people.

Mr. Xia then introduced Director Huang to them and told them that this was Director Huang from the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region.

"I'm also the deputy." Director Huang chuckled.

There was an empty seat between Secretary-General Xiao and Director Luo. Secretary-General Xiao called to Jin Lili, "Come on, Xiao Jin, sit here."

Jin Lili walked over and said thank you with a smile, then sat down.

Director Luo and Director Huang didn't know what was going on and looked at Secretary-General Xiao. Secretary-General Xiao said, "Let me declare to you first that this Xiao Jin is my fellow countryman. No one of you is allowed to bully her today."

"I don't know yet, Xiao Jin, are you also from Shaoxing, Zhejiang?" Director Luo asked Jin Lili.

Jin Lili said no. Director Luo looked at Secretary-General Xiao. Secretary-General Xiao said, "What do you think of me? The place where I jumped in line was Xiao Jin's grandmother's house. Do you think I am a fellow villager?"

Everyone looked like they suddenly understood and nodded. Director Huang said, after all, this one can really be regarded as a fellow countryman.

"Maybe I saw Xiao Jin at that time, but she might have been wearing crotchless pants with a runny nose." Secretary-General Xiao added, and everyone laughed.

The door of the box opened, and the waiter brought in a fat man with a mustache on his upper lip. Everyone in the box stood up when they saw him. The person who came was the owner of Nanzhuang Hotel. He smiled and said, My younger sister told me that Director Huang was in this box, but I didn’t expect that Secretary-General Xiao, Director Luo, the two presidents and Mr. Xia were all there.

Jin Lili was secretly surprised as she listened. She didn't expect that the boss of the hotel was so powerful. He knew everyone in the room except himself. He really deserves to be a hotel owner.

The boss of the village took a look at the table, and there was Louis XIII. The food was not served, and the wine was not opened. The boss of the village said to the waiter, "Little sister, bring me the wine and glasses, I want to pay tribute to all the leaders."

The waiter immediately brought in another bottle of Louis XIII, opened it, and poured wine for the boss and everyone in turn. The boss first greeted Secretary-General Xiao, and Secretary-General Xiao smiled and said, Xiaozhuang, you are very powerful. I just saw the report below. According to the materials provided, you will soon be one of the top ten young people in Haicheng. It’s really not easy.

Boss Zhuang quickly said humbly that it was all the care and love of the leader.

The waiter brought in bone china stew pots one by one. Jin Lili thought they were shark fins that she ordered, but when she opened them, they turned out to be bird's nests. She didn't order any bird's nests. Jin Lili looked at the foreman who followed him in confusion, and the foreman smiled and said to them : "This is the bird's nest given by our manager."

"Yes, leaders, let's try it." Boss Zhuang said, "This is the swiftlet's nest from Dazhou Island. Last year, I only picked four of them. I bought them all. I couldn't bear to sell them. It's like this , please give it a try when your good friends come over. It is said that there are only a dozen or so swiftlets left on Dazhou Island. Starting from this year, the island will be permanently closed for protection. This is a top quality."

Boss Zhuang's words made everyone happy. Jin Lili saw that President Wu and President Shi looked at each other meaningfully.

Jin Lili thought to herself that although the boss of the village came up after someone below informed him that Director Huang was here, he had inadvertently sent another business card to his company. Although the two presidents were regular customers here, But this was probably the first time that the boss of Nanzhuang treated him as a friend and brought out his treasures.

Boss Zhuang seemed to be familiar with the situation in the box before he came, and he came in when he was ready. As soon as he came in, he gave big gifts to Mr. Xia and Jin Lili.
