Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth encounter acquaintances
Wei Boti nodded and said, "It's almost that. I must rush back to the headquarters immediately because of the ferryman. Many things need to be handled. Stay in touch, and I will notify you as soon as possible if there is any new news."
Shi Lei nodded and watched Wei Bodi's back gradually drift along the Thames bank.
Wei Boti took two steps, suddenly turned around, and finally had a bright smile on his face.
"Two days are Christmas Eve, I wish you a happy Christmas." After that, he turned around and disappeared quickly in the crowd.
Shi Lei smiled and shook his head, yes, it was the end of the year in a flash, and Christmas is almost in the blink of an eye.
Shi Lei has no feelings for Christmas, he just thinks it is just a gimmick for merchants to promote consumption.
Christmas has different meanings for Westerners. It is a major festival of religions they believe in. The vast majority of Westerners are born natural believers. Even if a few people do not believe in religion, Christmas is a holiday, just like the Spring Festival in China.
For Chinese people, except for a few religious believers, everyone else is joining in the fun on this festival.
Shi Lei is not a person who likes to join in the fun, so of course he has no feelings for such a festival.
Turning around and walking towards the hotel, Shi Lei found that even in a place like London, Christmas is only two or three days away, and there seems to be no more Christmas atmosphere on the street.
For Westerners, Christmas is more of a holiday with strong privacy, which is used to accompany their families. Just like during the Spring Festival, merchants have no activities to do, and the whole world is empty, making you feel that the population of China does not seem to be that large.
As he walked, Shi Lei suddenly realized something, Christmas should be the easiest time of the year for the mayor of London, right?
Once a person relaxes, it will be easier to get in touch.
Could it be that the contact with the mayor of London is about this Christmas?
Anyway, he had no idea. Shi Lei had already walked to the hotel door. After thinking about it, he still didn't go back.
Since he knew that the black card would inevitably make some macro adjustments to increase the possibility of Shi Lei and the mayor of London, Shi Lei naturally had to walk around the crowd more often.
Didn’t Shi Lei walk around randomly when he arrived at the Sydney Grand Theater before he met Huo Chengdong for the first time?
In Japan, Wanmaozha in Okinawa was because Shi Lei simply took Sun Yiyi to visit and met Liu Qian and Liu Zhen, and then directly contacted Miyamoto Genichi.
Therefore, Shi Lei had to wander around London for a long time.
Before he knew it, Shi Lei slipped to the vicinity of Big Ben, a famous London attraction.
After all, it was a very famous landmark building, so Shi Lei stood up and looked up.
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Mr. Shi?"
Shi Lei turned around and saw an acquaintance.
"Manager Zhao? Why are you in London?"
"Isn't this almost the end of the year? The company is doing this year's performance statistics, so our technical department is relatively free. I happened to take my annual leave and took my girlfriend to the UK to have fun."
Shi Lei then noticed that behind Zhao Di, there was a woman in her twenties standing.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Shi Lei."
When the woman heard this, she suddenly seemed a little excited. Shi Lei has become famous in China this year. Many girls regard him as the best template for her boyfriend. It is natural that Zhao Di’s girlfriend has never heard of him. What’s more, Zhao Di is still in charge of Qi Xuan, and her current position is the vice president in charge of technology.
When I heard Zhao Di call Mr. Shi just now, the woman had already had some speculations. Shi Lei reported to her family like this, and the woman was immediately sure that this was the person who was nicknamed the national husband in her best friend circle.
"Hello, Mr. Shi." The woman quickly stretched out her hand and shook Shi Lei for a moment.
Shi Lei withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence. Is your trip this time just a simple trip?"
Zhao Di nodded and said, "It's just a trip, but not exactly. My girlfriend is studying in a university in London. This time she came here to accompany her to a class reunion."
"Oh? I was studying in a university in London, and that was a top student." Shi Lei said with a smile, but he thought to himself that it would not be so coincidental that Zhao Di's girlfriend, she had a classmate who happened to have something to do with the mayor of London, right?
Zhao Di glanced at his girlfriend, with a clear look of pride in her eyes, and said, "She graduated from the London School of Economics..." Perhaps she was afraid that Shi Lei didn't know much, so he added, "This university is the British G5 super elite university that is as famous as Oxford and Cambridge."
The woman hurriedly said, "What are you bragging about? You are learning politics and it's hard to find a job."
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Meeting is fate. You can meet them from seven or eight time zones. If you have nothing to do at night, I will treat you to dinner."
Zhao Di hurriedly agreed, and he felt grateful to Shi Lei in his heart.
To be honest, Shi Lei could only do it if he was left with a broad mind. At that time, he had been pretentious with Shi Lei for the first time for the first few shares. Fortunately, Shi Lei didn't mind. Although the shares were indeed much smaller, their value was far from comparable before.
Now Qixuan is said to be worth more than 10 billion yuan, which is definitely the most conservative estimate, which means that Zhao Di is now worth over 100 million yuan. And if it were the original company, until it died, Zhao Di's entire team would be able to be divided into a huge group, even less than that.
Not only is it a direct change in value.
At the beginning, Zhao Di was just a leader in a small team of less than ten people, but now, he is the vice president of the most popular company in China.
Seeing that the branches are opening more and more, Qixuan is about to establish a group company. By then, he will be a group executive, and a technical director is indispensable. It is not impossible for the vice president to be guaranteed. After all, he and Xu Zhida are the most important right-hand men of Shi Qiang in the company's business. His team has now exceeded the scale of 100 people.
Even if he leaves Qixuan one day, he is the vice president of Qixuan, and he will be able to easily find Angel Investment in his business. If he works, he will definitely be at the position of the vice president at the level of the vice president waiting for him.
It can be said that Shi Lei is his nobleman. Shi Lei changed his entire career trajectory in less than a year.
Now that Shi Lei said he wanted to treat them to a meal, Zhao Di was certainly flattered. To be honest, he had never seen Shi Lei for a few times in the past year.
However, Zhao Di's girlfriend gently pulled Zhao Di's sleeve. Shi Lei saw it and smiled and said, "What, what's wrong tonight? It doesn't matter? You must stay in London for Christmas, right? I still have to stay some time anyway, waiting for you to have time."
"How dare you let Mr. Shi wait..."
Shi Lei waved his hand, interrupted Zhao Di, and said, "Since it is the city where your girlfriend lives, you are accompanying her to attend the class reunion, so you must obey her arrangements. Don't speak, let her say. Sister-in-law, are you having something to do today?"
The woman said embarrassedly: "Sorry, Mr. Shi, we made an appointment with a good friend of mine today and agreed to have dinner together tonight."
Zhao Di said dissatisfiedly: "Then let's go together, she's here alone anyway."
