According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
..."Get lost!" Xing Baohua said irritably.
After sitting down, Wei Laisong said, "You have to thank our domestic media control."
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Indeed."
This guy has a huge influence in central Shandong. If his plane crash is reported, it will cause some impact.
Asymmetric information can also have its advantages.
Hong Kong is free to report on anything, but when news from there reaches mainland China, only a limited number of people know about it.
If the media doesn't report it, nobody will know who Xing Baohua is, and even if his plane crashes, it won't have any impact.
Wei Laisong stayed in Xing Baohua's office for more than half an hour. When he was leaving, he saw Xing Baohua seeing him off and complained, "Your secretary is no good! I sat there for so long and you didn't even pour me a glass of water."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered. She never poured me water either," Xing Baohua replied with a wry smile.
Wei Laisong shook his head helplessly. Of course, he knew to some extent that Xing Baohua's new secretary was someone who had just arrived in Hong Kong before he left.
It's said that they were recommended by the Shanghai Municipal Government, and they even have a formal job offer.
Someone as clueless as him, working as a secretary for a leader, should be sent away to a place where he spends all day idly reading newspapers and knitting sweaters.
Since they weren't on his side, Wei Laisong couldn't really say anything.
However, this should also serve as a reminder to Wei Laisong: if the Shanghai Stock Exchange can operate in this way, so can he!
Just as Wei Laisong was helping Xing Baohua choose a secretary to serve tea and water, a slender and beautiful woman came out of the lobby of Beijing Capital International Airport. As soon as she reached the entrance of the lobby with her suitcase, several taxi drivers surrounded her and tried to solicit her business.
The girl got into a taxi and told the driver the name of a hotel. She chatted with the driver for a while on the way.
"Hey beautiful, where are you from?" the driver asked.
"Great Beauty"
"Hey! Are you back to serve your country or to visit relatives?"
"Yes, I did. I went away to study, but I'm coming back now that I've graduated."
"A talent like you who comes back should definitely be given an important position! Maybe you'll become a senior technical expert or a leader in the future." The driver glanced at the beautiful woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror, feeling genuinely envious.
"Master, how's the rice? I came back to work for this company."
"The rice is good, but it's a pity it's not a government-affiliated institution. I can't afford their cell phones, but their pagers work very well. If you go there, you'll definitely be a great asset to them."
"Thank you!"
Chatting with the driver, they soon arrived at the hotel. After checking in, the young woman went to her room, asked the front desk for a long-distance phone number in central Shandong, took out a small piece of paper, and dialed the number on it.
I called several times, but no one answered.
He then frowned slightly.
I didn't call again after that. I was really tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours. After washing up, I took a nap to adjust to the time difference.
I slept until dark and then dialed Lu Zhong's number again.
This time the call went through: "Auntie, it's me, Hou Qian! Yes, I'm back in China. I just arrived in the capital. What! My cousin is also studying in the capital. Do you have her contact information?"
