That night.
Ji Huai and his partner Zhang Hao had dinner together to discuss business at a French restaurant in the city center.
"Mr. Ji." Zhang Hao came to shake hands with Ji Huai and introduced the man in a suit beside him, "This is Li Zhuo, the director of our project."
"Mr. Ji." Li Zhuo reached out to hold Ji Huai's hand. He wore black-rimmed glasses, was tall and thin, and had a gentle and elegant aura.
Ji Huai gently shook the other person's hand and looked at Gu Lan and Tian Ya, "Secretary Gu and Secretary Tian from our company."
Li Zhuo looked at it with a slightly startled expression. Gu Lan was wearing a black pleated long skirt with a tight waist and a small half of white elements on the hem, which made her look unique and make her slim body. The face is painted with exquisite makeup and bright red lipstick.
She smiled politely at him, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was graceful.
There is no shortage of beauties in this society. If she is both beautiful and capable, then she is like a red rose in full bloom, so charming and attractive.
"Secretary Gu..." Li Zhuogang let go of Ji Huai's hand, and stretched out his hands to shake Gu Lan's hand again, his movements urgent and hurried.
"Sit down, let's eat and chat." Ji Huai stepped in, stood in the middle, pulled up a chair and sat down directly.
Gu Lan also sat down and waved to the waiter.
Li Zhuo looked embarrassed and hurriedly sat down.
Gu Lan first asked Zhang Hao what he wanted to eat. The other party looked at Ji Huai and said with a smile, "Mr. Ji will order first."
She didn't shy away and looked at Ji Huai.
Ji Huai leaned back slightly and supported his temples with his hands. He looked at her and said casually and easily, "Just watch it. My taste is like that anyway."
Gu Lan had some objections to him and didn't want to ask anymore. He turned to the waiter and said, "A steak Wellington, medium rare."
Every time he goes to a new French restaurant, he always tries this dish.
Waiter: "Okay."
Ji Huai didn't refute, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Gu Lan ignored him and continued to look at Zhang Hao, who already looked at her with some deep meaning.
As a secretary, I understand that my boss's taste is normal, but making a decision without asking any questions does not seem to be the right of an ordinary secretary.
Only then did Gu Lan come back to his senses, his heart sank, and then he pretended that nothing happened and continued to smile.
After ordering a meal, you can enter the negotiation process while eating. Before Ji Huai came here for an on-site inspection, the two parties had already had many conversations and understood almost every detail.
Li Zhuo kept talking, and Zhang Hao occasionally interrupted. Whenever he asked about Ji Huai, he calmly cut the steak, tasted it in his mouth, and then looked at Gu Lan.
Immediately afterwards, everyone at the table looked at her. Gu Lan twitched the corners of his mouth and could only answer, "Mr. Zhang, here we are..."
When she was speaking, Ji Huai did not refute, but would say from time to time, "Secretary Gu is right."
Tian Ya sat on the edge, looking between the two of them. She looked at Ji Huai for a while and Gu Lan for a while. That starry look in her eyes and the smile on her lips definitely didn't mean she admired her boss or was worried about the company's upcoming deal. Cooperate and rejoice.
More like... hitting the sweet spot
Who can achieve a certain status in the shopping mall and not be a good person? Zhang Hao looked at Gu Lan with an increasingly thoughtful look, smiled and chatted with her about the topic of cooperation in more detail.
What happened to a secretary
Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty. Ji Huai could succeed as long as he didn't raise objections.
There are so many things that women can do, especially beautiful women.
After one meal, the cooperation is almost complete.
Several people said goodbye at the door. Zhang Hao, who was older, patted Ji Huai's shoulder gently and said, "Secretary Gu is a talented person with very good business skills."
Gu Lan modestly said: "It was Mr. Zhang who promoted me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Huai turned back to look at her and affirmed with a smile, "It's indeed good."
Zhang Hao laughed loudly and glanced at the two of them. Gu Lan seemed to read something in that look, but he couldn't explain it.
Gu Lan had been accused of insulting Huai or making false accusations many times before, but she was never so weak this time. She couldn't find a point to fight back.
On the way back to the hotel.
Ji Huai suggested changing hotels, "This happens to be a tourist city. Our hotel and several other big hotels are in this area. Just stay in another hotel to experience the experience and compare."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Gu Lan started to make arrangements.
The suite she booked for Ji Huai was naturally the best one. She and Tian Ya could just stay in the ordinary room. Who knew he would show up again, "The night view here is beautiful at night. The windows in ordinary rooms are small and the view is not good." "
"It's okay. Just appreciate it." Gu Lan ignored him.
"You can book a room for yourself and the company will reimburse you." Ji Huai said.
"Okay, Mr. Ji." Gu Lan responded without hesitation.
Anyway, it’s not going to cost her money, so just book two rooms.
When Tian Ya heard that she was staying in the presidential suite, her eyes lit up again. She moved closer to Gu Lan and was very excited, "Is it on a high floor? A room with tens of thousands of people per night? You can see the night view of the entire city. , I think the photos taken online are very beautiful.”
"Then pat me more." Gu Lan smiled.
"You want to stay too?" Ji Huai looked at Tian Ya and asked, his peach blossom eyes narrowed.
Tian Ya was dumbfounded.
Could it be... doesn't she live with Secretary Gu
Fortunately, her head was spinning fast and she shook her head quickly, "No, no, no, I'm just asking. If it looks good, I'll go to Secretary Gu's room to take pictures. I won't take any more pictures."
What was she thinking? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the CEO came in the middle of the night? At that time, in order to keep her silence, she might not apply for this job. She had managed to sneak in.
"Shouldn't we book two rooms?" Gu Lan didn't understand either.
She and Tian Ya live in the same room, which is just right.
Ji Huai pursed his lips tightly, glanced out the window, and said nothing.
Gu Lan:
Where did you get sick
"I can't help it. I forgot that I'm afraid of heights. Besides, I can't take pictures. I have to video chat with friends at night and play games. It will disturb Secretary Gu..." Tian Ya stammered and made excuses.
Woohoo, Secretary Gu, don't quarrel with the CEO over her.
As soon as the CEO saw it, he wanted to come to Secretary Gu at night, but seeing her there, he was embarrassed and asked to open only one room.
She's a big lightbulb and it's all her fault.
"Open three rooms." Ji Huai turned his head back and emphasized in his voice, "One room per person, not bad for the money!"
Gu Lan: "..."
There is something wrong with the designation.
Ji Huai: "I want the room with the best view."
"...Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." She smirked.
Tian Ya rubbed her little hands in anticipation of the presidential suite she was about to move into, while observing the two of them, for fear of causing a quarrel because of her, which would be too sinful.
As we get closer to the hotel, towering buildings come into view.
Ji Huai glanced out the car window for a few times and said slowly, "This hotel is only on the 33rd floor. Our hotel is on the 38th floor. The location is better. When you stay in our hotel tomorrow, I will give you a room on the highest floor. What do you want? Shoot whatever you want."
Tian Ya felt excited again.
Oh my god, I still have to follow Secretary Gu.
Gu Lan looked at Ji Huai, "Our hotel has the largest area, the widest view, and the most unique design. It is even more distinctive from the outside..."
Ji Huai: "Of course!"
"But the rooms in this hotel are fully booked, and our hotel still has a lot of vacancies, and we are also at a loss this month." Gu Lan reminded him.
"Impossible." He didn't believe it. "This is a tourist city with the largest flow of people."
Gu Lan: "It's the off-season now. Even in the peak season, our performance is far behind that of other hotels. Only when those hotels are full will the vacancy rate of our hotel decrease."
Ji Huai's face darkened.
The car stopped in front of the hotel, and the doorman came forward to open the door, help them carry their luggage, and check in quickly.
As night falls, the neon lights of the city light up.
The planned lights are twinkling. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking down, you can also see the sea view not far away. It is really a physical and mental enjoyment.
Gu Lan poured himself a glass of red wine, drinking it would help him sleep.
Tian Ya didn't go to bed until midnight. She took a lot of photos and posted them on WeChat. She felt bored sleeping alone. She wanted to chat with Gu Lan, but she held back because she might bump into Secretary Gu and the CEO...
How bad is that
In fact, Ji Huai spent the whole night reading documents. There were too many things he needed to learn and understand. He had made too many mistakes in his previous life, and now he had to correct them one by one.
Although Gu Lan is capable, she is not a god after all, and her qualifications and age are there. Managing such a large group is too laborious, and the resistance they face is not ordinary.
The next day, Ji Huai took Gu Lan to discuss the contract details and investment with Zhang Hao, and it was basically finalized.
When they returned in the evening, the two chose to dine at this hotel.
Since you are here to experience it, you don’t need to go to the most upscale top-floor restaurant. Ordinary people can just go to the buffet restaurant or bar restaurant to experience it.
It is said that a high-end hotel can afford to stay in a room worth tens of thousands of dollars. Most of the people who spend tens of thousands of dollars on a meal are in the minority, and more rooms are priced at 1,800 yuan.
Gu Lan made a reservation for the buffet restaurant downstairs. The buffet in this hotel was still very popular. They didn't even get a reservation for six o'clock, so they had to wait.
The 31st and 32nd floors of the hotel are connected. The 31st floor is the cafeteria. If you are on the 32nd floor, you can go down by the spiral staircase.
The design of the cafeteria is very simple and very spacious. Looking outside through the glass window, you can see the city's high-rise buildings in the distance and the sea view on the other side.
Waiters wearing white clothes and black trousers were walking around the elegantly decorated restaurant carrying plates. When they saw a smile on their faces, they bent slightly.
"It's so beautiful." Tian Ya saw the sunset not far away. The sun dyed the surrounding clouds red, and the tall buildings were also dyed with a layer of brilliance.
It is a miraculous work of nature, so beautiful.
Gu Lan saw her taking pictures and helped her adjust the angle of her phone. He smiled and said softly, "You want to take pictures like this."
Tian Ya just graduated this year and her childishness is still there. She treats her as a little sister and will take care of her.
Ji Huai put one hand in his trouser pocket, ignored Tian Ya, called Gu Lan, and walked inside.
The location was set late, far away from the window, and the location was not very good. Ji Huai frowned slightly and said nothing after sitting down.
