Man proposes, God disposes.
The above sentence best fits Zhang Hongcheng's mood at the moment.
As a person who likes to plan ahead, what I hate most is when things suddenly change along the way.
Zhang Hongcheng had been planning and arranging for so long, but something went wrong in the end.
Facts once again remind Zhang Hongcheng not to underestimate any opponent.
Tongtu Hotel, a competitor he originally thought had no chance of winning, was given priority by Yang Tonghai in some aspects that he had overlooked.
Zhang Hongcheng first met Jiang Hongshan, the director of Tongtu Hotel, at an industry conference.
As the end of the year approaches, the department in charge of units like theirs organizes a meeting to focus on accommodation management work before the end of the year.
It was at this conference that Zhang Hongcheng saw a middle-aged man with a big belly talking to Manager Yang from Dongfang Foreign Affairs.
There was a clear hint of flattery in the man's attitude.
Zhang Hongcheng naturally stepped forward and greeted Yang Tonghai. It was Yang Tonghai's unintentional introduction that made Zhang Hongcheng realize that this middle-aged man was Jiang Hongshan, the director of Tongtu Hotel.
It's a bit strange though.
Zhang Hongcheng was sure that he had never seen this Jiang Hongshan before, but the other party seemed to be extremely dissatisfied and contemptuous of him.
Yang Tonghai was obviously worried and didn't bother to talk much with Zhang Hongcheng. He kept whispering to Jiang Hongshan while holding his hand.
Before leaving, Zhang Hongcheng deliberately moved a little closer and indeed heard a few words that he was concerned about.
"Are you prepared to...", "Things...are hard to predict", "Foreign guests...", "I'm not joking this time..."
Zhang Hongcheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
These two people are most likely discussing the matter they want to intercept.
Judging from his observation and judgment of Yang Tonghai, he is an extremely cautious person.
Since their Corps Guesthouse is the first choice, why would they send the foreign guests who cannot be accommodated to Jiang Hongshan?
Not to mention the facilities and environment of Tongtu Guesthouse, even the journey for guests to and from is too far, right?
Zhang Hongcheng didn't listen to the entire conference.
His mind was full of all kinds of speculations.
At the same time, Zhang Hongcheng's mood was extremely bad at the moment.
After the meeting, Zhang Hongcheng deliberately chose to leave earlier than Yang Tonghai.
"Director Xiao Zhang, please wait a moment."
Yang Tonghai really called him.
Zhang Hongcheng looked at Yang Tonghai with pretended curiosity, only to see that Yang Tonghai was sending away Jiang Hongshan who had been following him.
Although he couldn't hear what Yang Tonghai said, Jiang Hongshan's angry voice didn't subside at all.
"What do you have to say to him?"
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it when I get back. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone for now."
Jiang Hongshan staggered away without even glancing at Zhang Hongcheng.
Yang Tonghai saw that Zhang Hongcheng looked somewhat dissatisfied and puzzled, and smiled casually.
"That's just the way he is. Don't take it to heart."
"You don't know him today, but you will know him after you interact more often."
"Director Xiao Zhang, I might need your guesthouse's cooperation in a while. Can you do me a favor? Is that okay with you?"
Before Zhang Hongcheng could ask further questions, Yang Tonghai smiled and spoke again.
"Of course, it's just a possibility. It might not cause any trouble to your brother."
"Brother, I think with our friendship, asking you to help me as an insurance shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zhang Hongcheng smiled "without any guile".
"No problem! Just tell me when the time comes."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways, and Zhang Hongcheng's face slowly fell.
The current situation is very clear. For some unknown reason, Yang Tonghai plans to ask Jiang Hongshan to help him receive the additional foreign guests.
Yang Tonghai also took into consideration the environment and distance of Tongtu Guesthouse, so he thought of asking Zhang Hongcheng, who owed him a favor, to act as a backup for him.
Zhang Hongcheng guessed that unless the foreign guests raised complaints about the accommodation environment, his backup plan would not play any role.
But in the history that had already happened in another time and space, these people in the original book did not raise any opinions.
Zhang Hongcheng narrowed his eyes.
There is one more thing.
With Yang Tonghai's tact and versatility, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Jiang Hongshan in advance that he was his backup, so why did this Jiang guy dislike him?
Not long after Zhang Hongcheng returned to the guesthouse, Ren Lijuan and Zhao Jun hurriedly went to the homes of several old employees of Dongfang Foreign Affairs with some gifts.
Most of the employees in the Oriental Foreign Affairs Hotel were trained by these old employees, so it would be a sure thing to ask them for information indirectly.
Zhang Hongcheng did not mention the matter of receiving foreign guests to the two of them. He only asked them to inquire about the relationship between Dongfang Foreign Affairs and Tongtu Guesthouse, as well as Jiang Hongshan.
Ren Lijuan came back faster than Zhao Jun.
"Both the Dongfang Foreign Affairs Guesthouse and the Tongtu Guesthouse were originally military guesthouses. However, the Dongfang guesthouse was later transferred to the ministry and turned into a hotel open to the public, while the Tongtu guesthouse was transferred to the road administration department."
"The relationship between the two sides has always been good, but the rules regarding foreign affairs in the East are strict, so people are often turned away."
"Most of the people who were rejected by Dongfang's foreign affairs department went to Tongtu."
Zhang Hongcheng frowned, it turned out that there was such a relationship between the two sides...
Zhao Jun came back an hour later than Ren Lijuan.
He is a well-mannered young man and the only one who scored full marks in the recruitment examination.
He is actually the one leading the assembly work in the woodworking workshop.
