Sometimes Xia Shao also wants to hide and be quiet.
But no matter how much she wants to hide from Anping, she can't hide from the company's affairs. Huaxia Group is fully expanding this year, and the company's affairs are the busiest in the past few years. When Xia Shao was in the capital, she spent almost all of her spare time on the company. There is only one week left until Little New Year's Eve. Managers and senior executives of various companies gather at the headquarters of Huaxia Group in Qingshi. In addition to the year-end summary meeting, they also have to attend the company's year-end dance.
Xia Shao was about to leave as soon as she got home, and she would be away for a week. Of course, Li Juan was reluctant to leave. But she has gotten used to it over the years. As her daughter's company becomes stronger and stronger, she will only get busier and busier. Although she felt distressed as a mother, she also knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to give up the company. Huaxia Group is already one of the top ten in the country. On my daughter’s shoulders is not just her career, she also has responsibilities.
Before leaving, Xia Shao promised to go home after the company's year-end dance to accompany her parents to prepare for the New Year, and then drove to Qingshi. As soon as he arrived in Qingshi, Xia Shao couldn't escape the meal. This dinner was hosted by the leadership team of Qing Province to reward business talents who have contributed to the provincial economy over the past year. The name is quite loud, but in fact everyone who participated knew that this dinner was just for Xia Shao. .
On the way, Xia Shao received a call from her assistant. After she arrived, she packed up and everyone was there when she arrived at the hotel. When Xia Shao arrived at the door of the banquet hall, the hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the door and saw a woman in a light purple dress, elegant and simple, standing at the door with a smile, but she stole everyone's attention. People in the upper-class circles of Qing Province have often seen Xia Shao wearing a cheongsam to attend grand occasions. Her dress tonight is a bit surprising. It can be seen that this dress is not too fancy, the style is simple and mediocre, and it seems that she has not had time to prepare carefully. However, no one looks down on her because of this.
This woman was still a sixteen-year-old girl when she entered the business world. In the blink of an eye, four years have passed, and the girl has already reached the age of 20. Her legend has never stopped since the day she began to rise to prominence. The shock she brings to the mall is always eye-popping and impressive.
Four years, a height that even the seniors who have been working in the business world for half their lives cannot reach. Today, Huaxia Group is the leader in the three major industries of antiques, auctions, and online media, and a giant in the real estate industry.
And just a month ago, news came out in the capital that Mr. Xu recognized her.
Only everyone knew the shock this news brought to Qing Province. Back in Qing Province, many people still had a wait-and-see attitude towards the relationship between Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin, but now, everyone looked at her as if they were looking at the Xu family's granddaughter-in-law, with eager eyes and a hint of humility.
From now on, she is not only the chairman of Huaxia Group, but also the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family. From now on, the glory of Huaxia Group will only move forward and reach a height that makes people look up to it. No one dares to think about whether the myth will end one day - as long as the Xu family does not fall, Huaxia Group will never fail.
A girl from an ordinary family, looking back on her journey to create a legend, no one can help but admire and admire her. How did she do it
At the door, Xia Shao walked in to everyone's eager and humble eyes, and said with a smile: "Secretary Yuan, you are not kind. I only received the news halfway. It's not my fault that I came late tonight. Don't take advantage of this. Give me the drink as a penalty.”
In the center of the banquet hall, there is a middle-aged couple. Although the man is slightly stout, he has a strong literary aura about him. This man is Yuan Ze's father, Yuan Mingting, secretary of the Qing Provincial Party Committee. It can be seen that Yuanze inherited his good looks from his mother. Mrs. Yuan is tall, well-maintained, and has the temperament of a lady.
"How many dinners did Mr. Xia attend when he came back? I just came here and I'm afraid of drinking." Yuan Mingting shook his head and smiled, and everyone in the banquet hall also laughed.
At this time, Mrs. Yuan smiled and said: "Although Mr. Xia has made great achievements, he is still young after all. In my opinion, it's okay not to drink. It happens that there is someone here who doesn't drink either."
As Mrs. Yuan spoke, she glanced behind her with a smile. Yuan Ze smiled and shrugged at Xia Shao. He is now in college, and his parents also intend to train him to enter a career, so he naturally comes to such a dinner. In Mrs. Yuan's eyes, Xia Shao is the future granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family, and she and Yuan Ze are classmates and good friends. Naturally, it is a good thing to have more contact with her.
The adult world is always full of clinging and trade-offs, but fortunately Xia Shao and Yuan Ze know each other well, and they have never had the idea of exchanging interests since they became friends. So the two of them looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.
At this time, a burst of laughter came, "It is the most indecent thing to do at a dinner party. We don't do indecent things. We just want to gossip. Did Commander Xu come up with the trick of proposing by himself?"
When Xia Shao heard the voice, she raised her eyes and saw a man in his mid-twenties walking behind. He was wearing a beige suit, with a noble demeanor and raised eyebrows, but the smile on his face had a frivolous meaning.
Qin Hanlin.
This kid has been working as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in Qingshi since Xia Shao was a sophomore in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. It has been more than two years now. Xia Shao and Qin Hanlin had not seen each other much since they went to Hong Kong to study. When they met tonight, the boy was still the same.
"Isn't it you who taught him?" Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, indicating something. She knew that her senior brother's idea of proposing was not Qin Hanlin's idea, but this boy had often had bad ideas before.
Qin Hanlin suddenly said exaggeratedly: "The conscience of heaven and earth! Junior sister, please don't accuse me wrongly. How could I have come up with such an old-fashioned proposal?"
The two of them were talking to each other, and everyone around them was a little dumbfounded. I heard that Qin Hanlin and Xu Tianyin grew up together, and seeing how familiar Xia Shao and Qin Hanlin are, it seems to be true. But, what does "little junior sister" mean
Everyone was confused, and Xia Shao didn't explain. After talking to Qin Hanlin for a while, he nodded to the political and business celebrities around him. When everyone saw it, they came up to chat with Xia Shao. Among these people, there were naturally Xiong Huaixing, Hu Guangjin and others who were well-established celebrities in Qing Province. When Xia Shao greeted Hu Guangjin, she knew that Hu Jiayi had not come back yet, and she would have to wait until three years ago to return home. Xia Shao agreed to come to Hu's house to pay New Year's greetings on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
This made Hu Guangjin extremely happy and made many people on the sidelines turn blue. You know, Xia Shao's current identity is different from before. She is no longer as simple as a rookie in the business world. If Hu Guangjin could entertain her at home, it would be like welcoming a noble person into the house!
The matter was settled like this. Xia Shao walked around for a while and felt a little bored, so she went to the hotel balcony to get some air. Qin Hanlin walked over, holding a champagne glass in one hand and a suit jacket in the other. He handed it to Xia Shao with a suave and romantic smile.
Xia Shao turned around. She was wearing a cashmere shawl to keep her warm. Although the balcony was open and the winter wind was quite cold, with Xia Shao's cultivation, standing for a while would not freeze her. She smiled and said, "It's not cold."
Qin Hanlin raised his eyebrows obviously, and then frowned again, "When a man behaves like a gentleman, I don't understand why some women like to show off their strength?" He said this with a frown and lowered eyes, and it sounded like he was talking about Xia Shao, But the tone was just a little off.
Xia Shao was stunned. The next moment, she saw Qin Hanlin return to normal. He smiled and put his coat on her. Then he showed his true colors and said with a serious smile, "Little junior sister, little junior sister! Help me take a look."
Qin Hanlin pointed at his face and smiled like a flower. Xia Shao glanced casually, "What are you looking at? Peach blossoms?"
"Yes?" Qin Hanlin asked with a smile.
Xia Shao didn't even look at him. Although Qin Hanlin's appearance has many peach blossoms, he is not really a frivolous person. If that were the case, given the Qin family's background, he would have been a playboy for a long time. How could he have reached the position of Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection at such a young age? How could the old man of the Qin family train him as his successor? Qin Hanlin is bound to be a wise and measured man. Even though he talks about beautiful women in nine out of ten sentences, he may not be able to confuse others and make people unclear about his thoughts. Sometimes, the appearance may not be true, it may just be a protective color. But such a man is like the wind, and few women can catch him. Women who fall in love with him will suffer.
Looking at what Qin Hanlin said just now, it seems to mean something. But looking at his face, or looking at Zhang Ruman's face during the summer vacation, neither of them showed any sign of the red luan star moving. I don’t know if these two people have crossed paths in the past two years.
When it comes to other people's feelings, Xia Shao has always taken the attitude of letting things take their own course and not interfering. It just seems that she was right at the beginning. There is still a long road between the two of them, and it will definitely not be bumpy.
Xia Shao shook her head inwardly. She didn't answer, but Qin Hanlin didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and leaned on the balcony railing, blowing in the cold wind and drinking champagne, feeling very comfortable. Xia Shao turned her head and glanced at him. At this glance, she was stunned and her expression changed immediately!
The cold winter wind blew Qin Hanlin's hair, and his hairline was faintly green!
Even now on the balcony, with dim light, Xia Shao was sure she saw it right! With her eyesight, it doesn't even require good lighting to see people's faces.
"Have you received any news about the job change?"
Qin Hanlin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately smiled in admiration, "Awesome! In half a year, I will have served in Qingshi for three years. I need to return to the capital to report on my work, but this time I don't know whether to go abroad or stay in the capital." He was always serious. Within three minutes, he returned to his normal state. He pointed at his face and asked with a smile, "Let's see, will this be a promotion, a fortune, or a love blossom?"
"I think it's an official disaster." Xia Shao said.
Qin Hanlin suddenly laughed. It was obvious that he thought Xia Shao was joking with him.
Xia Shao was not joking. Qin Hanlin's appearance did show signs of official disaster. If he is showing signs of promotion, his hairline will be faintly red and his forehead will be shiny. But although his forehead is shiny now, his hairline has begun to turn blue, which indicates that he may be demoted, or his official position may not be guaranteed, and his career may be damaged.
At present, it seems that there is still some time before things happen, because the hairline is just faintly blue, and it is not yet the time for official disaster to be imminent. But Xia Shao was not in the mood to wait until then, so she immediately opened her eyes! She was currently having a grudge against the Wang family, and this matter had to attract Xia Shao's attention. Although she knew what was related to her and Tianji never revealed it, Qin Hanlin's official calamity may not be related to her. Maybe it was just the result of factional fighting. Since it showed on his face, it must have nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, Xia Shao's guess was not wrong.
Two pictures passed before her eyes. One was Qin Hanlin and a sweet-looking woman. The atmosphere between the two was very subtle, and their eyes were a little complicated. The other was that he was taken away by several members of the disciplinary inspection team.
The picture seen by the celestial eye is like light and shadow, passing by quickly. What the heaven revealed must be important things. In other words, Qin Hanlin's official calamity was related to this woman.
Who is this woman
Qin Hanlin is the direct grandson of the Qin family, and no one else can plot against him. Although the eyes of the sky show that it is related to this woman, Qin Hanlin's official career will be damaged, and the Qin family will definitely be hit hard. So it is self-evident who will be proud.
Xia Shao felt that as long as it was linked to the interests of factional fighting, things might not be that simple.
"Let's go." At this time, Qin Hanlin's voice came, calling Xia Shao back to the banquet. After all, it is cold on the balcony. It is enough to stand for a while to get some air. It will be too much for a long time.
"When you arrive in the capital, be careful of female trouble." Xia Shao suddenly said.
Qin Hanlin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Female disaster? That's great."
He had a nonchalant tone, and his eyes were even interesting. Obviously, he didn't believe it. His confidence may come from the fact that for so many years, no woman has ever caused him trouble.
Xia Shao knew at a glance that Qin Hanlin didn't believe it, but she didn't say much this time. Qin Hanlin will not return to Beijing for half a year. She will wait until she returns to the capital after the New Year to see the situation in the capital.
At the end of the dinner that night, Xia Shao was just socializing, and her thoughts were all about Qin Hanlin. After the banquet was over, she was escorted back to the hotel to rest.
The next week is the Huaxia Group's meeting and year-end dance.
At the meeting, Xia Shao met with the general managers of each branch and listened to their year-end summary reports.
Chen Manguan is the most laid-back among all the executives. Fu Ruixiang Antiques Co., Ltd. covers the national antique market. The antique industry is very special. It does not take sales as seriously as other industries. Antiques can be collected and hoarded, and whether they are sold depends on the collection trend. Huaxia Group accounts for the largest proportion of the domestic antique market. In terms of auctions and transaction volume, the growth trend this year can be seen to be stable. It's just that the huanghuali that Xia Shao asked Chen Manguan to buy and grow on land in southern provinces and cities two or three years ago has skyrocketed and made a huge profit!
Sun Changde could only be said to be envious of Chen Manguan. He was too busy to keep his feet on the ground. In the past, branches of auction companies were opened in provinces and cities where antique markets were located across the country. However, this year they have expanded on a large scale and opened in all provinces across the country. Since Liu Zhou's incident happened, he has been doing everything himself. He has been flying around the country in the past few months, personally checking on the situation of branches and establishing good relations with government officials. Fortunately, Xia Shao's reputation as a Feng Shui master is now well-known in upper-class circles across the country, so there are few obstacles in terms of connections. Officials in some places were members of the Jiang family, which would inevitably lead to difficulties. However, since the news came out that Mr. Xu admitted Xia Shao, even the Jiang family did not dare to act rashly. So it's pretty smooth now. It's just that the branch opened this year and a lot of investment was made. It's only half a year, and the profitability will depend on next year. But the prospects are still very optimistic. After all, Huaxia Auction Company is one of the earliest auction companies in the country, with a well-known brand and an out-and-out leader. Coupled with Xia Shao's connections, the profit prospects are naturally optimistic.
Emily also rushed back from Hong Kong, and the headquarters of Ada Real Estate was transferred to Hong Kong. During this period, it has absorbed the business of Century Real Estate and is running steadily. After Xia Shao brought great shock to the Feng Shui community and the real estate industry when she was in Hong Kong, Aida Real Estate is now very famous. The project sales situation is extremely optimistic and the growth rate is the fastest!
Liu Banwang, the president of Huaxia Network Media, also came to Qingshi from Hong Kong. Now the number of users of Huale.com has exceeded previous estimates, and the situation is gratifying. In Hong Kong, the ten newspapers and magazines under Chinese Music Weekly have also replaced the original Hong Kong Media Weekly and become the weekly magazine with the largest circulation in Hong Kong. As an emerging industry, Huaxia Online Media is the most anticipated.
