After doubting his life for a while, Wanwan reporter Wang Yuxuan still cursed in his heart and finished eating the fragrant and elegant Guadalquila durian without stopping.
He also had to admit that the new variety of durian here in Lanfang really tasted good, and it was very suitable for the Chinese people's restrained and reserved taste aesthetic.
At the table next to her, several Internet media businessmen from the mainland, out of curiosity, had just taken out their digital cameras and took a video of the beautiful white waiter from Lanfang opening durians and chopping pineapples.
Even if you can't upload it to the Internet now, you can at least copy the file to your own hard drive and keep it. Maybe you can use it as a conversation piece to share with your family and friends when you return home.
The strange experiences of going abroad are always worthy of legend. However, in the era before YouTube and Douyin, the scope of such sharing was greatly restricted and could not be seen by people outside the circle.
After wiping his mouth with a napkin and taking two final sips of iced cat poop coffee, Wang Yuxuan stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant.
Before leaving, he took one last look around out of professional habit, and then unexpectedly saw an opportunity.
"Isn't that the female designer Qin Ya who was responsible for answering technical questions at today's press conference? And the one next to her should be from Jiaotong University..."
What a great opportunity, if you don’t strike up a conversation now, then when will you strike up a conversation!
Wang Yuxuan had a thought in his mind, and immediately walked over gracefully, looking at a gap where no one would disturb him, and approached like a gentleman:
"Designer Qin, Designer Li, hello, I'm from CTV, and listening to your design interpretation today was really eye-opening. I'm also from Jiaotong University, can I ask you a few personal questions about your life experience?"
It's not easy for him to pry too directly. Of course, he would first use his status as a reporter to break the other party's wariness, and then use their shared experience to get closer.
Qin Ya and another designer were indeed aroused by certain elements in his words, and their normal curiosity was aroused: "Mr. Wang, are you a reporter by profession? You are also interested in technology. You said you are from Jiaotong University?
"
Wang Yuxuan quickly pretended to be casual and took advantage of the situation to show off: "It is indeed from Jiaotong University - there is a scholar of the uncle's generation among the common people, who was the elder of Jiaotong University before the Japanese occupation, and later went to Oceania to study transportation engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
In the end, I presided over the resumption of Jiaotong University in Wanwan. I am not talented, so I relied on the support of my elders. I was ranked last in school, so I was able to study at Jiaotong University."
Wang Yuxuan acted like a conceited academic, pretending to be formal in order to further relax the vigilance of Qin Ya and others.
It just so happens that in the late 1990s, the Internet and media were underdeveloped, and the understanding of each other on both sides of the Taiwan Strait was lagging behind, so there were quite a lot of Taiwanese who talked to mainlanders like this.
After all, Wanwan continues to use traditional Chinese characters, and their publicity department strives to emphasize their inheritance of traditional culture. Therefore, even if the Wanwan people themselves are vulgar and direct when speaking, they must try to be pretentious when meeting visitors from the mainland.
I used a few classical Chinese particles, but the result was half-literate, which is ridiculous.
And what Wang Yuxuan said was indeed not a lie, which made him seem more natural - his uncle really was a student of the old Jiaotong University. Before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there was also a Jiaotong University in China in the old days, and at that time
Jiaotong University is integrated into one university. There is no such thing as Hujiang Jiaotong University, Chang'an Jiaotong University, and Southwest Jiaotong University in later generations. These were all spun off from the old Jiaotong University.
After Chang Kaishen retreated to Wanwan, he rebuilt Central University, Tsinghua University, and Jiaotong University in Wanwan. Strictly speaking, Jiaotong University students on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are indeed alumni, and there is nothing wrong with using condoms.
Considering that mainland staff were generally quite generous and hospitable to Taiwanese compatriots in 1999, they had to show their gentleness. When the other party had already taken the initiative to lower his profile, Qin Ya and another designer who graduated from Jiaotong University had no choice but to completely deny face.
.
Wang Yuxuan took the opportunity to strike up a few more words than the other ceremony participants, and even asked for some seemingly harmless personal information.
It is impossible to find out business secrets at the first meeting, but in terms of personal life, it is really difficult to avoid it if you don't ask directly.
For example, if you greet the other person's family and teachers, you can get peripheral information such as whether the other person is married, what position he or she currently holds, etc. (The greetings to family members here are the literal meaning, not the Zaun kind)
"Although this Qin Ya looks average, her temperament is quite artistic. She is not married yet. It should be due to the feudal filth in the mainland and it is difficult for female doctors to get married. Well, at worst, I will pretend to be single first, right?
She showed her goodwill step by step and gave some small gifts. When she was gradually dragged down by material corruption, she could ask for detailed information.
Mainland women are definitely not resistant to material temptations. Even if they work for boss Lan Fang, designers like this can't make much money. Most of them are bosses, such as the deans of design institutes and the like.
Okay, isn't it easy to bribe a low-level designer? Besides, I am so handsome, and there are not only one or two women who can seduce him, but I can't fool this kind of female doctor love idiot?"
During the chat, Wang Yuxuan's commercial espionage qualifications made him involuntarily speculate like this.
Thinking about what I am proud of, it seems that the design details and detailed indicators of Lanfang Tower and Burj Al Arab Hotel are already at my fingertips. I can get the appreciation of my uncle and the big boss of Ting Hsin Group when I go back.
At the end of the apparently pleasant conversation, Wang Yuxuan took out a book without leaving a trace:
"Ms. Qin, you are really knowledgeable and eloquent. When I communicate with you, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. This is a monograph on architectural design concepts published by Dean Tong of your hospital. I usually read it. I see the list above.
You are also included in the list of contributors, can you sign your name for me?"
Asking people from the cultural and art circles to sign a monograph is a request that is hard to refuse, especially if the person is sincerely talking to you about his artistic ideas and seems to be very sympathetic.
Although Qin Ya was a little embarrassed and felt that the other party was overly flattering, she could only sign first.
After signing, Wang Yuxuan respectfully took back the other party's book with both hands. Then as a courtesy gift, he gave Qin Ya a small gadget that didn't look very valuable.
The gift Wang Yuxuan chose was just a pen. For a literati, if someone asks you to sign a book and get a pen as a gift in return, you can't refuse. Moreover, Wang Yuxuan's plan was very clever. The pen he gave did not look good on the surface.
There doesn't seem to be any sign of value in getting out of the door.
But if it were to be appraised, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. Not to mention that the pen tip is made of pure gold. It would not be a big deal at all. The brand is still hand-made by famous artists. In short, it is all kinds of ways to hide the value in
Inconspicuous.
With this gift exchange, it will be easy to start the follow-up.
…
The foundation laying ceremony of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel was of course completed in one day. However, the subsequent internal communication and publicity activities were not completed in an instant.
Gu Kun also had to consider the host's grandeur. He invited people from all over the world to Lanfang to support him. If he just sent them away after playing for one day, what kind of hospitality is this? It's too stingy.
Therefore, usually the host will treat guests for at least a week, and the guests can take care of themselves. If it is a busy person who is really too busy with work, he will show off on the first day and fly away the next day. The host will not stop him, he will only take the initiative.
Help me buy a return ticket.
And for those playboys, playboys, ladies, or media people who are not too busy and are willing to stay longer, the Lanfang people will do their best to accommodate them.
During this process, the isolation and confinement of Qin Ya and other design reporting personnel will not be as strict as the usual closed state.
This is also a temporary compromise decision made after weighing the priorities between commercial publicity and technical confidentiality.
Wang Yuxuan took advantage of the opportunity in the past few days to contact Qin Ya several times in the name of official business and interviews.
Of course, Qin Ya is also very measured. She always keeps her mouth shut about technical details. The gifts given by the other party don't seem expensive, so she just accepts them out of courtesy.
But gradually, she realized something was wrong.
This guy from Wanwan named Wang doesn’t want to pursue himself, does he? What kind of rhythm is this?
August 29, a Sunday. Qin Ya, who finally had the excuse that she didn't have any released tasks and could hide out for a while, secretly called Gu Kun through the isolation line and asked to meet with her boss to report the situation.
Gu Kun also attached great importance to it and sent someone to pick up Qin Ya on a yacht as soon as possible. During this period, the designers of Tongji Jianyuan and Jiaotong Haiyuan each lived on an independent island. All facilities on the island were
The business is temporarily closed to serve these designers. There are also gunboats from the Lanfang Coast Guard patrolling the sea outside the island.
Therefore, people from Gu Kun must be escorted in and out, and outsiders cannot sneak in at all.
Qin Ya was quickly taken to Gu Kun's villa. Gu Kun asked the female secretary to pour her a glass of water, and then waved to the female secretary to go out.
Qin Ya took a sip and cleared her throat: "There is a reporter from Bayan who seems to be pursuing me these days. The gifts he gives me are getting more and more expensive. I think he is suspected of being a commercial espionage."
Gu Kun chuckled and pretended to look around him in a relaxed manner, while secretly observing Qin Ya's eyes and expression.
"As a boss, I have always been very humane and will not restrict the private lives of employees or contractors. If it is a normal relationship without suspicion, it is allowed."
After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Kun said something beautiful first.
This is a necessary step to win people's hearts. After all, they only use your money to work for you, they don't sell you your personal freedom. A female doctor in her early 30s can't find a boyfriend. Gu Kun must show sympathy on a humane level. First
Affirm that freedom of love is protected.
Then, Gu Kun changed the topic: "Tell me about that person. How many expensive gifts did he give you? What have I asked you about so far?"
Qin Ya said in detail: "The first time I just gave me a pen. I didn't know how much that pen was worth. Later I checked and found that it was worth at least several thousand yuan, maybe tens of thousands, which is more than a thousand yuan."
Dollar.
At the beginning of the second time, when we were chatting, he came up with some consulting questions that did not involve this project and asked them casually. I answered them out of politeness and reciprocation, and then he insisted on saying that I had asked him casually.
Big role, big problem solved for his friends.
He said that those problems were all encountered by his old classmates at Jiaotong University and now encountered problems at work, so he must give me a thank you gift as a consulting fee. The value of the gift given to me so far is already more than 100,000 yuan. In the next stage
