402, Ordinary people in Xiangjiang and Wu Shuhan join the job
"Boss, soy sauce chicken, old meat with pineapple, stir-fried vegetables, pork belly in clear soup, boiled fish with Genji, and two bowls of rice."
At Luo Kee Food Stall in Wan Chai, Chu Huan threw his custom-made suit worth HK$88,000 directly onto the chair and took off his tie.
"By the way, another chicken pot!"
There was someone eating at a food stall next to him. When he saw Chu Huan like this, he guessed that the other person might be a company executive who had just finished working overtime.
It is impossible for an ordinary clerk to need so much food by himself.
Qin Peng and others sat at the dining table next to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan, who had just come out of the main room, came here without any delay. The boss here has been here since the 1960s. It is not a century-old shop, at most ten years old, but the food he cooks is really good.
good.
It suits Chu Huan's taste very well.
Chu Huan was already very hungry after spending a night playing tricks with the political and business bosses from Xiangjiang in the main class room and drinking a lot of champagne.
It is definitely not easy to become a member of the Executive Council, but Chu Huan has already put forward his requirements. The current opponent is not someone who has to do whatever the Hong Kong government says. He still has to make demands.
At this time, the unofficial members of the Hong Kong Administrative Bureau still had great rights, unlike in later generations, which were a bit overwhelming.
When Chu Huan asked to become a member of the Executive Council, he certainly did not want to take a political line. It was just that he was in the Executive Council. If those in the Hong Kong government wanted to do anything against him, it would not be that easy.
Soon the boss came with the food, but once was definitely not enough.
When he finally brought two bowls of rice to Chu Huan, he asked enthusiastically, "Pretty boy, can you finish eating so much food by yourself?"
"I can't finish it!" Chu Huan said simply, "But I like to eat it!"
The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "Quality!"
"By the way, give me two more bottles of cold beer, it's too hot!" Chu Huan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Even though it is already late at night, the hot wind is still blowing on the streets of Xiangjiang!
The boss smiled and said, "Come right away!"
Soon, two bottles of beer arrived.
Chu Huan quickly picked up the bowl, put a piece of sweet and sour pork into the bowl, and put it into his mouth along with the rice. The feeling of fullness filled his tail instantly.
Chu Huan picked up a bottle of cold beer and took a sip, the coolness emanating from the inside out.
Cool
In fact, at this time, if a few friends are sitting on the roadside, with two or three cold beers on the ground, dozens of skewers, a plate of cucumbers, a plate of edamame, and a plate of fried clams, then it will be really
He is as happy as a god.
It’s a pity that there is no such thing in Xiangjiang!
While Chu Huan was feasting, a middle-aged man, carrying his suit jacket with one hand and a low-quality shirt soaked with sweat, walked over listlessly and stood at the door of Luo Ji Food Stall, looking at the crowded place.
He seemed to be walking towards Chu Huan's table.
When Qin Peng and others saw this, they wanted to stop him, but Chu Huan stopped him with his eyes.
The middle-aged man came to Chu Huan and asked Chu Huan with a forced smile, "Young man, would you mind setting up a table? There is no room around."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "No problem, I am a person anyway!"
"Thank you for sharing!" The middle-aged man sat across from Chu Huan, called the waiter, and ordered a plate of steamed fish, a plate of green vegetables, and two bottles of beer.
"Beautiful boy, you look like you've just finished working overtime?" After the middle-aged man drank himself a sip of beer, he no longer felt as tired as before and began to take the initiative to chat with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, the same for you?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yeah, damn Gui Lao, he obviously miscalculated the accounts, and he had to blame me, otherwise he would have been off work long ago!"
Chu Huan was also bored. There was no point in eating or drinking by himself. In the past, Chu Huan would often eat and drink with Qin Peng and others, but as his status became higher and higher, he also discovered that Qin Peng and others
Although the person behaves the same as before, in fact, if he eats and drinks with him, the hidden restraint cannot be concealed at all.
So Chu Huan later stopped eating with them. They were nervous about eating and felt uncomfortable eating. It was not interesting!
Now there is a man whom we all don't know, and suddenly we sit together, which can be regarded as a kind of fate.
It's quite fun to eat, chat, and drink some beer.
As for the so-called eating without talking or sleeping without speaking, that is not true.
"So, brother, you are filling the tank for someone else!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
The man said angrily, "Who says it's not true? Gui Lao is a good guy!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Then let's change the boss."
The man raised his head and glanced at Chu Huan, and said with a wry smile, "Beautiful boy, if I were as young as you and had no wife to raise, no children to raise, and no old people to raise, I could do what you said and leave nothing here.
"Master, I have my own place to stay, but I can't do it. The whole family has to be supported by me!"
The sorrow of middle-aged people!
Young people in later generations always say that their parents and brothers have allowed society to smooth out their water chestnuts, and they cannot live freely and freely. Little do they know that they also want to have water chestnuts, but their water chestnuts have not been worn away by society.
But let the family responsibilities be worn away!
Why young people can be so showy is because they know that their parents are behind them to support them, but young people should sometimes think about who will support their parents?
The sorrow of middle-aged people is not that their water chestnuts have been smoothed away by life, but that they have had water chestnuts, but life has hidden their water chestnuts.
Chu Huan nodded, raised the beer in his hand, and clinked glasses with the man. After the two took a sip of beer, Chu Huan said, "You are good!"
The middle-aged man chuckled, as if he had finally found someone to talk to, and said with a smile, "Young man, you don't know. When I was young, I was also very flamboyant. I had as many girlfriends as Huan Shao, and I also
They are all prettier than Mr. Huan's current girlfriend. He, for some reason, accidentally misfired. One of the women turned out to be pregnant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I didn’t take it to heart at first, but when I saw that cute little fat girl in the hospital, I knew that I was finished, and then
I just got married, found a job, and ended up here now."
When he talked about his child, the other person's eyes shone with light!
This is an existence that can make him give up everything.
But Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I don't believe your wife is more beautiful than Mr. Huan's girlfriend!"
"Don't believe it?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and raised his voice several times, making Qin Peng and others nervous.
As he spoke, the man seemed unwilling to admit defeat. He rummaged for something in his jacket pocket and soon found a wallet. He took it in his hand and opened it. There was a photo inside.
"This is my woman and my baby daughter. Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
In the photo, the woman looks happy holding her child, but
Quickly catch up with Fang Jianhui, what’s going on with Liu Pingkui’s waistline?
You told me this is beautiful?
Chu Huan nodded seriously and said, "It's quite beautiful!"
"Really!" Seeing Chu Huan's approval, the man immediately said happily, "I said my wife is prettier than Huan Shao's girlfriend, but Lao Zhang and the others still don't admit it. They must be jealous of me!"
"That's right!" Chu Huan nodded seriously again, "They are jealous of you!"
After gaining recognition from Chu Huan one after another, the middle-aged man was very happy and chatted with Chu Huan more and more enthusiastically.
The content of the chat mostly revolves around one’s own family situation.
Chu Huan felt a particularly strong sense of separation as he sat here. Where he was just now, everyone was talking about tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of business, and now this unknown man in front of him said
But it's a matter of dozens, hundreds, or at most thousands of dollars.
"Well, I heard that there is something called a video recorder that allows you to watch movies at home. My wife and I haven't been to a movie theater for a long time. It would be great if we could watch movies at home.
Pretty boy, I'm not afraid to tell you. A few days ago, I secretly went to the mall to take a look at that Jiuzhou video recorder. It cost more than three thousand Hong Kong dollars, which had cost me several months of labor. At that time, I just wanted to grit my teeth.
I bought it, but I bit my tongue and still didn’t buy it!”
Chu Huan smiled and then said, "Don't be so anxious. Electronic products like this have a cycle. When the cycle comes, it's time to reduce the price!"
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately gleamed, and he asked excitedly, "Really?"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile, "When color TVs first came out, weren't they also very expensive? If you look at the prices now, aren't they much lower than when they were first released?"
The middle-aged man recalled it and nodded seriously, "It seems like this."
Then the middle-aged man excitedly said, "In the future, I will be able to watch movies at home with my wife!"
Chu Huan smiled, "Of course it's possible, but if you have money, I still suggest you buy one more property. The one that truly preserves value can also be used to save a dowry for your precious daughter!"
"Do you still want to buy a house? Now that house prices are rising, I think we should wait a little longer. What if the price drops in the future?" the middle-aged man said uncertainly.
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Have you not noticed that the population in Xiangjiang is increasing now? In addition, there are more and more young people of marriageable age, and the demand for properties will definitely increase in the future. If you want more,
It’s impossible to wait for house prices to fall.”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "It seems to be true."
After saying that, the middle-aged man looked at Chu Huan strangely and said, "Beautiful boy, I see that the clothes you wear are better than those of our boss, and your conversation is also very good. You must be a senior executive of that big company, what you said is
But really?"
Chu Huan said, "We don't know each other, so there's no point in lying to you, right? Anyway, I think the housing prices in Xiangjiang will definitely rise in the future, and even if there is a cyclical decline, it will definitely be far higher than the current price."
!”
The 1950s and 1960s in Xiangjiang was the peak period for births. The late 1970s and early 1980s were the peak period for these people to get married. At the same time, the family situation in Xiangjiang was also changing. In the past, it was
It's familial, no matter whether you are rich or poor, most families live together.
But now Xiangjiang's nuclear family has begun to gradually replace the extended family family.
According to statistics from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, there will be a newlywed couple in Xiangjiang every year, and these people will be the main demand for housing in Xiangjiang. This year, the housing price in Xiangjiang is only about 200 per square foot, but by 1981
By that time, housing prices in Xiangjiang had risen to HK$1,050 per square foot!
At the same time, during this period, the labor force in Xiangjiang also increased.
To put it simply, this period will become a stage of rapid development for Hong Kong.
The middle-aged man may have drunk too much, or he may have really listened to Chu Huan's words, and said, "If this is really what you said, then I really have to consider buying another property!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't regret it!"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "There is a lot of pressure to repay the loan!"
Chu Huan stopped talking. There was nothing he could do. If he wanted to reduce the pressure of repaying the loan, he could only work hard.
At this period, the people of Xiangjiang were a little better off. They could afford housing if they worked hard. But in ten or twenty years, housing prices in Xiangjiang would no longer be affordable if they worked hard.
The two chatted for a while. The middle-aged man stood up and settled the bill in a leisurely manner. He said hello to Chu Huan and left the food stall.
Chu Huan ate happily and chatted happily. After finishing the last bowl of rice, he asked the boss to pack it up, got up and left the place.
Deep Water Bay, the villa where Gu Chengxi lives!
"Didn't you go to Sha Ya's dance? Why do you still have the food packed back from the food stall?"
Gu Chengxi walked out of the study, saw the food in Chu Huan's hand, and asked curiously while placing it on the dining table.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan sat aside and said with a smile, "How can you be full at that kind of dance? Why haven't you had dinner yet?"
Gu Chengxi smoothed his hair and said helplessly, "It's not that we have to catch up with HSBC's manuscript. I didn't expect that they would make such a big news. It will definitely cause a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong tomorrow."
Tonight has not yet ended, and the news about HSBC's acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank of North America has reached the ears of major newspapers.
I believe there will be many newspaper editors working all night today.
Speaking of this, Gu Chengxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chu Huan and said, "Brother Huan, you should have told me about this in advance so that our newspaper office could prepare in advance!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I remember, I called you this afternoon. HSBC is definitely going to make a big splash about this matter. Announce it too early and lose HSBC's interest.
On the contrary, it’s not good!”
Gu Chengxi said angrily, "I think you just want this news to overshadow the news of the merger between Hang Lung Properties and Huhua Properties, so that the media reporters will focus on this matter of HSBC."
The merger of these two real estate companies has almost been completed. There is actually no big difference between announcing it earlier or announcing it later. Originally, Chu Huan wanted to announce it while he became the richest man, but he did not expect that these two
There were too many things in the company that were not completed during that time.
It's okay now. As soon as the HSBC incident came out, Chu Huan wanted to ride on the heat and cover up the heat on his side.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "This period of time has been high-profile enough, so it's better to be low-key."
Gu Chengxi nodded and asked curiously, "Brother Huan, if Hang Lung Real Estate and Huhua Real Estate merge, even if HSBC is in front of them, once the two companies merge, they will become one of the top real estate companies in Hong Kong."
, this sensation will not be too small.”
Chu Huan naturally knew this, and said helplessly, "It's always good to reduce it a little."
Moreover, Chu Huan has also decided that this matter will be left to Lu Qi and He Bingguang to handle. He will not show up, so that the media will pay less attention, and the whole matter will be kept low-key.
The bottom line is that after announcing a piece of news, basically the company's top management will not talk about it again.
"By the way, Black and White Media will control the popularity of this news, and you should also pay attention over there!"
If you want to minimize the popularity of this news, you must not only take action on your own side, but also let the media pay more attention. Chu Huan cannot control other newspapers and magazines, but Chu Huan of Black and White Media
It definitely needs to be controlled.
Gu Chengxi has no objection to this. She likes to report big news, but Gu Chengxi also understands that some news can be reported and some news needs to be controlled.
"I already informed Tiantian Daily this afternoon."
Now Gu Chengxi is not only the president of "Zhen Bao", but also the co-president of "Zhen Bao" and "Tiantian Daily".
The next day!
As everyone knows, HSBC's acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank of North America has made headlines in major newspapers in Hong Kong.
“HSBC is so powerful that it can acquire banks in North America?”
"Can it not be great? What is the status of HSBC in Hong Kong? What's the point of acquiring a North American bank?"
"Haha, have you ever thought that HSBC could acquire banks in North America?"
Many people who saw the newspaper were also discussing it aloud, and this matter soon became a hot topic among the people.
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
"Look at the economic section, there's big news there too!"
Some people looked at the economic section curiously, wanting to see what other people were saying was the big news.
Wu Shuhan arrived at Jiahu Building early this morning, still feeling a little uneasy and nervous.
This is the first time she has participated in a formal job. When she was in her hometown, it was called labor, not work.
Thinking that they could get a smooth start, the uncle's sisters took them to Causeway Bay that night and bought several sets of clothes to prepare for work today.
Thinking of this made Wu Shuhan's heart warm.
At this time, a white-collar beauty came out of the elevator. After a brief glance, she set her sights on Wu Shuhan.
"Hello, I am Bai Xue from the second secretary group of the secretarial department of Jiaku Consulting Company. The manager is currently accompanying the boss in a meeting, so I will take you up!"
Hearing what the other party said, Wu Shuhan quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Bai!"
Bai Xue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this is what we should do."
Then he took Wu Shuhan into the elevator and came to the lounge of Jiaku Consulting Company.
"Ms. Wu, according to the instructions of our manager, your position at Jiaku Consulting Company belongs to our Secretary Group Two"
Hearing what Bai Xue said, Wu Shuhan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Xue.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although you belong to our second group, according to the manager's instructions, your job is not here. Instead, like the manager, you serve as the boss's full-time secretary, but the specific
Work, please wait for the manager to come and arrange it for you!"
Wu Shuhan was stunned!
She knew that the boss in Bai Xue's mouth must be Chu Huan. Thinking that her eldest sister and the others had told her last night to have as little contact with Chu Huan as possible while in the company, but now she has become Chu Huan's professional secretary?
How come there is so little contact?
Of course, Wu Shuhan definitely had no intention of leaving. He just said that Chu Huan saved him twice and helped the Wu family once. He couldn't leave without finishing his work for a day!
"I understand, thank you, Team Leader Bai!"
After thinking about everything, Wu Shuhan whispered to Bai Xue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bai Xue nodded and said with a smile, "You don't have to be too nervous. The boss is very nice. You just need to complete your work seriously!"
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
"Well, thank you, Team Leader Bai!" Wu Shuhan thanked Bai Xue again.
Bai Xue said, "Then you stay here for a while. When the manager comes, he will look for you!"
"Um!"
After a while, Xu Yi walked in wearing high heels.
Seeing Xu Yi come in, Wu Shuhan stood up again, thinking about what his eldest sister had told him last night.
One of them is about the girl in front of me.
"Don't look at that Xu Yi is about the same age as you, but she is a figure that many people in the Xiangjiang business community hope to be able to curry favor with. As Chu Huan's full-time secretary and the manager of the secretarial department of Jiaku Consulting Company, she may know
The woman with the most business secrets in Chu Huan is also the woman that Chu Huan trusts the most besides his own woman!"
Within the company, Xu Yi is Chu Huan's personal secretary, but outside, Xu Yi's status is still very high. Some CEOs of listed companies have to nod and bow when they see Xu Yi.
"Miss Xu!"
After Wu Shuhan saw Xu Yi, he spoke softly.
Xu Yi nodded, looked Wu Shuhan up and down, smiled on his face, and said, "Miss Wu, Bai Xue should have told you about your work just now, right?"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I told you!"
Then Wu Shuhan said with some anxiety, "Ms. Xu, I am naturally very happy to be able to become Director Chu's full-time secretary, but I just came to Xiangjiang not long ago, and I am not very familiar with some of the work in Xiangjiang, so I am worried that it will
Bring some unnecessary trouble to Director Chu!"
Although he recognized his job position, Wu Shuhan still told Xu Yi about his situation.
Xu Yi nodded and said with a smile, "The boss has already told me about your matter. In the next few days, you just need to follow me. I will tell you the specific things and how to operate them when the time comes!"
Wu Shuhan once again expressed his gratitude to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi said again, "By the way, people in our secretarial department are different from other departments in the company. They call the boss directly. You need to remember this!"
Wu Shuhan nodded again.
"Okay, let me take you upstairs to take a look first!"
While talking, Xu Yi took Wu Shuhan to Chu Huan's office on the top floor.
"There are only three places here, one is the boss's office, one is my office, which will become an office for the two of us in the future, and the third one is the company's conference room."
On the top floor, Xu Yi introduced the situation here to Wu Shuhan.
After that, he brought Wu Shuhan to Chu Huan's office. This was the second time Wu Shuhan came here, but the first time the situation was a bit special, so he didn't look carefully. This time he discovered that Chu Huan's office was surprisingly big.
"This is where the boss works. He occasionally meets guests here. In the back is a room where the boss rests alone. It needs to be cleaned regularly every day. There is a small gym over there. When the boss is tired from work occasionally, he will go there.
Take a break from fitness.
In addition, the boss likes to drink iced Coke, no matter what season it is, so there must be no shortage of iced Coke in the refrigerator.
Also, if the boss needs to have a meal in his office, just call Yong Kee and ask them to send some home-cooked food. By the way, there must be meat, the boss is a fan of all things meat.
There is a small kitchen at the far end, which is usually only used by the boss. This is for the boss to discuss things with the guests and cook noodles after drinking. "
Having said this, Xu Yi looked at Wu Shuhan and asked, "By the way, can you cook egg noodles?"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Yes!"
"That's good. Remember, if the boss comes back to work after drinking with others, cook a bowl of egg noodles for the boss. At the same time, prepare vinegar and chili oil, both of which are used when the boss eats noodles.
, indispensable, there is also some cooked food in the refrigerator, which will be replaced regularly every day, and should be prepared for the boss when cooking egg noodles. "
Xu Yi introduced the situation of Chu Huan's office to Wu Shuhan, and Wu Shuhan remembered everything carefully.
Then Xu Yi brought Wu Shuhan to their office. Wu Shuhan felt that it was even more luxurious and bigger than her eldest sister's office.
Xu Yi pointed to a brand new desk and said, "This is your office. There are also two guest rooms next door, one for you and me. If you are tired, you can also use it to rest, but you can't delay it."
own work.
You can bring some daily necessities over."
Finally, Xu Yi brought Wu Shuhan to the conference room, but did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and said to Wu Shuhan, "The boss is currently having a meeting with two CEOs of the real estate company. After they finish, I will take you in to have a look."
