"I'll be hosting a few distinguished guests tonight. Your task is to drink for me and get to know them. It'll be helpful for you in the future," Zhang Zhiyuan said as he walked forward.
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Okay, County Zhang. May I know who will be attending tonight?"
"Deputy Director Xu of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Deputy Director Bai of the Provincial Construction Department, and Director Dou of the Provincial Transportation Department. They're all prominent figures. It'll be a great opportunity for you," Zhang Zhiyuan said calmly.
Lu Yiwei could tell that these departments were key departments. The Development and Reform Commission was in charge of project approval, the Construction Department was in charge of the construction of the city's infrastructure, and the Transportation Department was in charge of the construction of roads. It was crucial to the development of Nanyang County to get the support and help of the leaders of these departments. It seemed that Zhang Zhiyuan had put in a lot of effort. It wasn't something an ordinary person could do. Lu Yiwei was confused. How did Zhang Zhiyuan do it?
Before he could think further, the elevator had reached the top floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Lu Yiwei was stunned by the luxurious decoration of the hotel. The top floor was semi-open. The roof was covered with organic transparent glass, which made the whole hall look spacious and majestic. The bright and translucent crystal lamp had a diameter of five meters. Layers upon layers of glass lamps were arranged in an inverted pyramid pattern, like a waterfall that flowed for thousands of feet, sparkling brightly. The decoration of the hall was in the Baroque style of the Western European Renaissance. It was complicated, exaggerated, magnificent, and magnificent. The surrounding walls were dark red and beige. Imitation European paintings were hung on the walls, which looked more three-dimensional and dynamic under the illumination of the spotlights. A gold-plated sofa was placed in the middle of the hall. The crystal cups on the coffee table reflected light to show who they were. The floor was covered with a Persian hand-printed carpet. It was exquisite. Walking here was like being in a royal palace. It was suffocating.
Lu Yiwei had seen the world, but it was the first time he had seen such a luxurious hotel. He couldn't help but marvel at the rapid development of Jiangdong City.
Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to be used to it. He strode forward under the guidance of the hostess. It made Lu Yiwei look like a country bumpkin. He looked left and right, unable to keep up.
When they arrived at a private room called Champs-Elysees, the hostess pushed the door open gracefully. Lu Yiwei's heart skipped a beat.
The style of the private room was completely different from the hall. The blue decoration made him feel like he was in the ocean. The milky white furniture was like the bright moon in the sky. The Mediterranean style was like a Bohemian breeze, making him feel relaxed and happy. It was like walking from a distant castle in England to the love sea in Greece, looking for love harbor in ancient civilizations.
Most of the hotels that Lu Yiwei had been to in the past were Chinese-styled, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Few of them were European-styled. But this Luxurious Park Hotel had set a new benchmark in the industry in the province. It was impossible to surpass it within five years.
Lu Yiwei was so engrossed in the renovation of the hotel that he didn't notice that there was someone sitting on the sofa. Zhang Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward, bent over, and held the man's hand tightly, shaking it vigorously. Lu Yiwei looked carefully. The man was Ding Changhua, the owner of Fulaike Tea House.
When Lu Yiwei was lost in thought, Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Yiwei, come here."
Lu Yiwei hurried forward and reached out his hand. "Mr. Ding, long time no see."
Ding Changhua looked completely different. He was wearing a navy Chinese tunic suit and looked very energetic. He also reached out and shook Lu Yiwei's hand hard. He said with a smile, "Brother Lu, long time no see!"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yiwei, since you know each other, I won't introduce you."
Ding Changhua leaned to one side and asked, "Zhiyuan, the person I recommended to you is right, right?"
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Lu Yiwei meaningfully and nodded slightly. "Chairman Ding has a good eye. Yiwei is a good person!"
Lu Yiwei was confused. What recommendation? What Chairman Ding? What the hell was going on?
Seeing Lu Yiwei's puzzled look, Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Yiwei, you once asked me why I like you. Oh! Your talent scout is right in front of you. You must thank Chairman Ding tonight. "
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei couldn't believe his ears. He had only met Ding Changhua once. Why would he recommend him to Zhang Zhiyuan? And what was the relationship between Ding Changhua and Zhang Zhiyuan?
Lu Yiwei asked, "County Zhang, Boss Ding, what is going on?"
Zhang Zhiyuan explained, "Don't call him Boss Ding. He is the chairman of Donghua Industrial Group. During a meal, Chairman Ding recommended you in front of me. He said you are a talent and must be put in an important position. You will know after that. "
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei stared at Ding Changhua. He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the famous boss of Donghua Group. Wasn't he the owner of the teahouse? Lu Yiwei's brain short-circuited. He couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Alright, alright!" Ding Changhua said politely, "Zhiyuan, let's not talk about the past anymore. As long as you think this person is good, I can rest assured. Come, sit down!"
Zhang Zhiyuan took off his coat and sat down. He said, "Brother Ding, I have troubled you tonight. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to invite these Bodhisattvas."
Ding Changhua took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Don't treat me like an outsider. We are all on the same side. I have always treated these people well. They more or less gave me face. Don't talk about work during the meal. Just talk about friendship. Do you hear me?"
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I will listen to Brother Ding's arrangement."
Lu Yiwei's eyes scanned the two back and forth. The question mark in his heart grew bigger and bigger. He couldn't understand it. Zhang Zhiyuan was so obedient to Ding Changhua. It was too unexpected.
Zhang Zhiyuan ignored Lu Yiwei and continued to ask, "How's the big boss recently?"
Ding Changhua glanced at Lu Yiwei and said in sign language, "Everything is under control."
"Haha …" The two burst into laughter at the same time.
At this time, the door was pushed open. A fashionable woman with heavy makeup walked in. With an intoxicating smile on her face, she called in a long and coquettish voice, "Brother Ding!"
The woman was getting closer and closer. Her strong fragrance was like a rich peony. Her graceful figure was like a dancing crane. Her dazzling clothes made her look like a fairy descending to the world. Her whole body was full of ghostly temptation. Looking at her exquisite facial features, her thin eyebrows fluttering like butterflies, her big blinking eyes were like ripples of clear blue water, clear and bright, her high nose bridge was like a fine painting by an artist, solid and angular, and her bright red lips were like vermilion flying in the air, sexy and full, causing Lu Yiwei to be a little dumbfounded and infatuated.
Ding Changhua stood up and gave her a western-style hug. He said with a smile, "I said I would send a car to pick you up. You had to take a taxi yourself. Are you tired?"
The woman coyly said, "How can I not be tired! I just finished my performance, so I rushed over immediately. Who's there tonight? Why must I come over to accompany them? "
Ding Changhua pointed at Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "County Zhang came all the way here. Do you think we should accompany him?"
"Big Brother Yuan is not an outsider. We have plenty of time to eat together. This is?" The woman blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Yiwei who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had handsome looks.
Zhang Zhiyuan introduced, "Lu Yiwei. He came with me. As for his name, it's up to you." Then he said to Lu Yiwei, "Tong Huan, a first-class national dancer. He is currently the pillar of the Provincial Song and Dance Company. He is good at folk dance. Don't tell me you don't know him?"
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei let out his third 'ah' tonight. Every 'ah' had a different meaning, but they all made him excited. He stretched out his hand excitedly and stammered, "You … you are Tong Huan?"
Seeing Lu Yiwei's embarrassed look, Tong Huan covered his mouth and burst into laughter. He whispered to Ding Changhua, "This person is really funny!"
