He never thought that there was someone who valued him more than him.
"What?" Bureau Xu asked, "Your newspaper office doesn't have a fax machine yet?"
"No," Jiang Shan shook his head: "As far as I know, the only newspaper in Pujiang has the Jiefang Daily."
"The fax machine is still very convenient," Director Xu seemed to be thinking: "It's time to configure one."
"Director Xu," Jiang Shan didn't pay attention to Director Xu's divergent eyes: "Registration... thank you."
Director Xu waved his hands. Although he still had a political face, his eyes towards Jiang Shan were much softer.
"Yes, but it's a pity that the domestic system in this regard is not perfect yet," Director Xu paused and said, "I guess we won't be kept waiting too long."
Jiang Shan smiled and nodded. It will indeed not be long, it will only be a few years.
The matter of physical property rights has not yet been settled, so there is no need to worry about intellectual property rights.
"You have nothing to do tonight, right?" Director Xu looked at the time: "It's getting late, let me treat everyone to a meal!"
"This..." Huang Hua glanced at Jiang Shan: "Is it appropriate?"
Jiang Shan also followed suit: "It won't delay the leader's rest, right?"
"You don't have to be restrained," Director Xu said with a rare smile, "Eating with me is also a kind of work."
Looking around, no one answered.
"Isn't it almost Christmas..."
Jiang Shan felt more and more incredible the more he heard Xu Ju's words.
He quietly glanced at Huang Hua and found that the other person's eyes were also wide with shock.
"In order to enrich the nightlife of foreign guests, the Municipal Cultural Bureau said, Director Xu did not pay attention to their expressions at all:
"I lent a band to the Peace Hotel. There are auditions these few nights, so we're all going to join in the fun."
There was such a thing, and Jiang Shan immediately felt ashamed for the intelligence department of his newspaper.
"Bureau Xu," Deputy Director Ma said, "I won't have dinner with you if I have something else to do later."
"You are busy with your business," Director Xu waved his hand: "The three of us happen to be in the same car."
Jiang Shan and Huang Hua looked at each other, but neither of them mentioned driving over.
Thinking about it now, it has been more than a year since he came to Pujiang, and Jiang Shan has never eaten at the Peace Hotel.
On the way there, he was really a little excited.
"Xiaojiang,"
Xu Ju, who was sitting in the back row with him, asked: "Have you been to the Peace Hotel?"
"No," future generations can't count: "I'm quite looking forward to this meeting."
"Well," Director Xu nodded slowly: "Same as the first time, I was a little nervous at that time!"
After spending an afternoon with Jiang Shan, Director Xu became more and more interested in Jiang Shan.
Whenever Jiang Shan talked, he would listen quietly.
From time to time, I will think about it further.
Somehow, after listening to this kid's words, he immediately came up with many new ideas.
"Xiao Jiang," Bureau Xu asked, "I heard from Manager Huang that you have a very good relationship with a Japanese advertising company?"
When they heard the news, Director Xu and Deputy Director Ma solved their doubts.
No wonder this boy's knowledge is different.
"Although this company is opened in Japan," Jiang Shan explained, "but the person in charge of the company is actually one of our own people."
"Overseas Chinese?"
"That's right!"
"Since you are one of your own, it is easier to study."
"You are right," Jiang Shan smiled: "I will definitely learn more from her."
"Here we are."
After a while, Director Xu's car drove into the parking lot of the Peace Hotel.
"Are you used to eating Western food?"
"Eating habit."
"I can do anything!"
"Then let's eat Western food today," Director Xu led the two of them straight to the hall: "Don't save anyone for me today, just feel free to eat."
Jiang Shan was so happy, he really wanted to eat steak.
As they walked through the lobby, the three of them raised their heads at the same time.
No matter whether you have been here before or not, you will stop now.
The stained glass dome of the Octagonal Pavilion of the Peace Hotel exudes a strong sense of luxury.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but take a few more glances. Before today, he had forgotten about this unique hotel in Pujiang.
Seeing that he was very interested, Bureau Xu introduced him quietly beside him:
"Our Peace Hotel in Pujiang still has a lot of history..."
The Peace Hotel is divided into two buildings, the north and the south. As early as 1854, the south building was built.
At that time it was still called "Huizhong Hotel".
In 1906, the Peace Hotel underwent an upgrade and reconstruction.
This upgrade is amazing. Not only is it equipped with the world's leading air-conditioning system, but it also has in-room telephones that have not yet been used in European hotels.
After the upgrade was successful, it immediately attracted attention from all walks of life.
Mr. Sun's famous slogan: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard" was rang out here.
Later, the engagement party between Jieshi and Meiling, the visit of the drama master Chaplin... including some heads of state who came to Shanghai, all became guests of the Peace Hotel.
At this moment, as the elevator slowly rose, Jiang Shan and his party entered the famous Huamao Pavilion, a Western restaurant located on the ninth floor of the hotel.
As soon as I walked into the hotel, I finally got used to the feeling of being in a state-owned hotel. I just felt like my legs were a little shaky.
It wasn't until I sat down that I felt a little more at ease.
The warm soft light gives the modern decoration in the restaurant a retro atmosphere.
The white tablecloth is lined with crystal clear cups, and everyone is beginning to envy the foreign guests of this era.
What a damn good time!
Huamao Pavilion is a highlight of the Peace Hotel. As part of the Bund skyline, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River.
As night fell, Jiang Shan felt the urge to step onto the terrace.
I don’t know what the night view of the Bund was like in this era.
However, he gradually discovered that there seemed to be more to see in the western restaurant.
In addition to a few foreign guests, there were also many representatives from our side.
From the moment they sat down, comrades from all around came over to say hello to Director Xu.
He also looked like a leader, several times.
Director Xu also introduced Jiang Shan and Huang Hua to the other party.
I heard several names, and most of them were related to the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
"Xiaojiang,"
Director Xu raised his eyebrows slightly: "The veal steak you like is here!"
As a scent wafted deep in my memory, waiters wearing black vests began to serve the dishes on their table.
The waiter soon discovered that the three people at the table were not very pretentious.
There was no unnecessary sound, just started eating.
The key point is that each one of them tasted quite smooth, without asking any questions.
It seems that I don’t eat less on weekdays.
"coming,"
Xu Ju, who had been paying attention to the small stage in front, reminded in a low voice: "They are the band seconded by the Cultural Affairs Bureau. I heard that these few are not ordinary people."
"Really!" Jiang Shan quickly stopped his knife and fork and looked towards the stage.
I saw six more Shanghai-based old guys wearing white suits and black ties on the stage.
These people play different instruments, piano, trumpet, saxophone...
"Night Shanghai" "Rose Rose I Love You"...
When the full-flavored jazz music started playing, the expressions of the leaders and comrades in the restaurant suddenly became subtle.
"How about Xiao Jiang, do you like this music?"
Director Xu seemed to be enjoying himself very much. It seemed that he had been out visiting and studying a lot in the past two years.
"I quite like it anyway," Jiang Shan said.
"As long as you like it, this band will be stationed at the Peace Hotel starting next month. I will send you tickets then."
At the end of 1979, Pujiang, a port city, reopened its door to the outside world.
In order to add some entertainment items to the Peace Hotel, a foreign-related hotel.
The Municipal Cultural Bureau specially organized a jazz band.
On Christmas Eve this year, as long as you spend two yuan on admission, you can listen here from 8pm to 10pm.
"You have worked hard these days," Director Xu said in a very calm tone: "I have just said hello to the manager of the hotel. You two will stay here tonight and relax completely."
"Um?"
Jiang Shan, who was forking cakes, immediately looked up at Director Xu: "Tonight...are we staying here?"
"It's a pity that the rooms on the 8th and 9th floors are all occupied," Director Xu said disapprovingly, "I'll let you two live on the 7th floor!"
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Shan's surprised expression and said: "Xiao Jiang, I may trouble you often in the future, is that okay?"
"What you said is obvious." Jiang Shan was in a particularly good mood at this moment: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I still said the same thing," Xu Bureau finally smiled: "You don't need to be restrained with me."
A meal can be called a full meal.
After watching Director Xu's car leave, Huang Hua quickly put down his waving right hand.
As long as he is with Jiang Shan, he can show his attentive smile freely.
Huang Hua knew in his heart that Jiangshan would never ridicule him for this matter.
On the contrary, they seem to have been cooperating in this regard quite well.
"Xiao Jiang," Huang Hua handed the key to his room to Jiang Shan: "This room is for you. I won't join in the fun tonight."
"What, is there something going on at home?"
"I just came back a few days ago, and I'm going to Xiangjiang in two days." Huang Hua thought for Jiang Shan's sake: "This hotel is quite nice. You can bring your family over to have fun."
"Then I won't be polite."
"Why are you so polite to me?"
Huang Hua felt the same as Ming Jing. Xu Bureau was able to arrange a room for him because he was taking advantage of Jiangshan.
…
Dozens of minutes later, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang slowly walked into the Peace Hotel, feeling a little dizzy for a moment.
"Dad, Mom,"
Jiang Shan led the two children and followed the old couple: "There is no one around here. I'm here to take two photos for you."
Jiang Xiangnan was so excited all the way here.
I kept thinking about taking a few more photos and showing them off in the workshop.
But when I really walked into the Peace Hotel, I felt a little overwhelmed.
"Is it possible?" Father Jiang whispered, "Don't make people laugh."
"Who knows us?"
Jiang Shan found a perfect location and clicked the shutter for the elderly and children.
It’s funny when you think about it, now he’s filming everywhere!
"This should be the legendary splendor,"
Jiang Ma looked at the elevator up and down: "Even the elevator is pretending like this."
"If you like, our family can pretend to be like this."
"How much will it cost?"
"Let's not talk about spending money for now," Father Jiang warned seriously: "Don't report it to anyone again!"
"That's true," Jiang Shan nodded immediately: "You still have to be careful!"
"Lao San is right," Jiang Ma kept nodding her head: "If you ask me, it would be better not to come to this place in the future."
Get out of the elevator and walk through the corridor.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai have been holding on to their third uncle's hand tightly.
For a moment, the children didn't say a word, and their eyes could no longer see anything.
When the two elders of the Jiang family followed Jiang Shan into the room.
Jiang's mother was so surprised that she almost shouted: "Third child, Mom likes it here so much!"
