Chapter 703 I heard that your association was flooded?
That night, out of a sense of shame, Chen Jianhai did not choose the canteen. Instead, he led Cai Pingcong and Ina to have a sumptuous dinner at Maimen on the island.
The auditorium for meetings is on the second floor.
The next morning, Chen Jianhai was led to the auditorium by the staff of the general association. Name tags were placed in front of the tables in the auditorium to facilitate the people who came to the meeting to sit down.
"President Chen, your place is here."
"Thanks."
Chen Jianhai was sitting in the first seat on the left in the second row. He turned his head and his excellent 1.5 vision began to shoot wildly around the room.
Chen Jianhai muttered as if summoning a spirit, his radar-like eyes instantly fixed on the middle position of the fifth row!
"Cao Zhenggang!"
The death fire of hunting burned brightly in Chen Jianhai's chest.
You are the one!
Ah, you are the one who is holding me back and has not allocated any money to our association for water management!
Chen Jianhai, who is petty and vindictive, has long wanted to meet this person.
Next, Chen Jianhai secretly stared at each president who entered the auditorium, trying to see who was the Cao Zhenggang.
Waiting one after another,
Finally, a middle-aged man who was not very tall and wearing a gray suit walked in.
Although this middle-aged man is old, he is really good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and thick temples, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and even a bit of mixed race between his thick eyebrows. He looks energetic when he is young.
Even though Chen Jianhai has always been ordinary and confident, he still has to admit that this elder brother is indeed a little better-looking than him.
Under Chen Jianhai's gaze, "red lips and white teeth" carried his briefcase and walked to the middle of the fifth row.
Immediately, he sat down.
Chen Jianhai's eyes changed instantly.
As if aware of Chen Jianhai's gaze, Cao Zhenggang subconsciously raised his eyes.
As their eyes met, Chen Jianhai used his [affiliation] and [containment] skills together, revealing a gentle, polite, warm and respectful smile.
Cao Zhenggang also smiled and nodded at Chen Jianhai politely, and the two parties formally greeted each other.
As everyone at the venue arrived, the meeting officially began.
The agenda was very simple. First, the vice president made an opening statement and briefly introduced the development of the association this year. Then he reported to everyone the status and list of the promotions of the Intermediate Hotel Association and the Senior Hotel Industry Association during the year.
When mentioning the Shell Hotel Industry Association of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association, the vice president also emphatically named "President Chen Jianhai" and asked Chen Jianhai to stand up and get to know everyone.
Amid the applause, Chen Jianhai awkwardly listened to the words "Isn't this 309?" coming from behind. He stood up with a red face, nodded slightly to the surroundings, and then sat down as if running for his life.
Next, there is the president’s speech.
Although it was a speech, a copy of the specific materials had been given to everyone. The president basically read according to the materials, occasionally interspersing a few other sentences.
Although the meeting was boring, Chen Jianhai still imitated the behavior of the people next to him, holding a pen and drawing horizontal lines on the materials word by word.
At the end of a boring morning, all participants came to the canteen to eat.
The canteen is very large. Except for a square table for four next to the dining area, the rest are all large round dining tables, which is very convenient for everyone to communicate.
Chen Jianhai took a small dinner plate and ordered some food. After scanning around the canteen, he took the dinner plate and walked to a round table and sat next to Cao Zhenggang.
"President Cao, is there no one here?" Chen Jianhai asked gently and politely.
"No one is there, President Chen, please take a seat." Cao Zhenggang stood up quickly, held the dining stool with both hands to help drag the dining stool back, and invited Chen Jianhai to sit down with great enthusiasm.
Those who can sit here and eat are almost all old vixens from hotels. Such warm service tasks like moving tables, opening doors, etc. are basically easy to do and do it very naturally.
Chen Jianhai did not refuse, thanked him repeatedly and sat down.
Seeing Chen Jianhai and Cao Zhenggang sitting together, the eyes of many association presidents suddenly lit up and they also sat over with plates in their hands.
The water pipes of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association burst, the association building was flooded, and the president's office turned into a water curtain. The story of applying for funds to repair the water pipes but being rejected by the federation has long spread to all associations.
The Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association's indiscriminate email applications and the ruthless rejection tug-of-war by the General Association have become classic gossips exchanged in private between associations.
Now, the initiators behind the war between the two sides are sitting together, and no one wants to miss this good opportunity to watch the excitement.
Although Chen Jianhai is not smart, he has experienced a lot of personnel affairs in the past two years. He can naturally see the purpose of these presidents at a glance.
How can he make other people laugh when he meets the chairman of Haihai Group in a dignified manner?
Chen Jianhai slowly took a bite of the steamed bun. He had already made up his mind to sit next to Cao Zhenggang in the past few days.
As long as Cao Zhenggang can hold it in, he can hold it in even more!
Anyway, this meeting will last for 5 days. Sooner or later, he will find an opportunity to talk about this matter!
A good lunch not only did not involve debt collection, but in the end it turned into a friendship meeting for Chen Jianhai. Not only did he say hello to dozens of presidents, he even left his contact information and made an appointment to take a boat ride in the evening.
Go to the other side of the island to have a barbecue.
With the opening up of friendships, the originally boring meeting gradually became interesting.
Except for the president reading the materials on the first day, the rest of the time is basically for presidents to communicate with each other and talk about their experiences.
Although it was euphemistically called a discussion and exchange, it was a frequent exchange. In the end, a group of people went to the hotel to eat, drink, and sing. By the time we returned to the island, everyone was drunk.
These days, Cao Zhenggang and Chen Jianhai have always maintained a cordial and friendly relationship. It seems that both parties have agreed that no one will take the initiative to ask for money.
But just because they didn't mention it doesn't mean no one cares about it.
Seeing that the training class was about to end, finally one day at lunch, someone half-jokingly joked at the dinner table:
"President Chen, I heard that your association's water pipes burst and the building was flooded. Is this true?!"
