Chapter 29 Pre-departure arrangements
In the next two days, Bai Tang had a lot of things to do. Fortunately, Shi Mei and Li Wenwen were with him. When President Li found out, he gave them a day off and asked them to help Bai Tang deal with the matter.
Bai Tang first drove the Lexus 570 to Shenmei Group, intending to park the car in Shenmei's parking lot and leave the key to Mr. Lu.
When Secretary Zhang welcomed her into the office, President Lu was already waiting for her.
"Tangtang, is everything ready? Is there anything Uncle Lu can help you with?"
Bai Tang sat on the sofa and took out the key to the 570, put it on the table and said to Mr. Lu, "There's basically nothing to do, Uncle Lu. I've almost arranged everything. But I really don't know where to put this 570, so I drove it back."
"You can drive my car occasionally. I heard from a friend who knows a lot about cars that it's not good to leave a car parked for too long. By the way, I can help you wash the car sometimes." Bai Tang said as he flipped through the corporate culture manual on the coffee table.
After hearing what Bai Tang said, Mr. Lu laughed again: "Okay, okay, it's OK to put it here. By the way, your classmate's father, Mr. Zhang from Yongchang, has been here. The deal has basically been made. Their factory's production capacity is not high, and the quantity they need is not large. It just so happens that the Hatuhai Coal Mine has started to produce coal, so his share can be handed over to them."
Bai Tang waved his hand indifferently: "Uncle Lu is the boss. I don't understand these things."
The two chatted for a while, and Bai Tang stood up to leave. Mr. Lu's temptation of the canteen's special kitchen failed to keep Bai Tang, and she ran away like a gust of wind.
He turned around and handed the key to Bai Tang's 570 to Secretary Zhang, "Drive it out often to wash it, and then go get an internal pass for the group. Usually, drive it to the underground parking lot and park it."
Secretary Zhang responded, took the car keys and went out to do some work.
Bai Tang took a taxi and arrived at the store in no time. Her Cayenne had already arrived there.
Bai Tang originally planned to drive to Kyoto, but Shi Mei disagreed. She said that she had just obtained her driver's license and it was more than a thousand kilometers from Urumqi to Kyoto, and she was worried that it would be unsafe for her. Besides, she had a new Panamera in ice berry pink parked at the Kyoto Business Office, so there was no need to drive there again.
Bai Tang thought it made sense, so he entrusted the Cayenne to the Wushi Commercial Bank. Shi Mei and Li Wenwen often drove it, washed it, and did maintenance. President Li also applied for an internal bank pass for the Cayenne, so it could be parked in the bank's underground parking space.
As for the Patrol and Wrangler that were being modified, it was agreed with Ding Wei before that they would be placed in his car factory after the modification was completed. Ding Wei also agreed. Having two top-notch modified cars in his hands can be regarded as an advertisement for his car factory.
Shi Mei drove Bai Tang's Cayenne and took her and Li Wenwen, and the three of them went straight back to Bai Tang's house.
The bank duo was amazed again when they took out the Rimowa Tiffany co-branded suitcase that had been sent by Kyoto Trading Company.
"Oh my god! Is this the suitcase that costs tens of thousands? This is the first time I've seen such an expensive suitcase. It's so shiny and beautiful." Li Wenwen looked excited as she touched the suitcase.
Shi Mei was also very fond of it. After all, which girl doesn't like shiny things?
After sighing over the suitcase, the three began to pack their things. Actually, there was nothing much to pack. In addition to some branded clothing and daily toiletries that the three bought in Silver City, there were only some electronic products and identity documents left.
After packing, the suitcase was mostly full. Li Wenwen finally closed the suitcase and said with emotion: "I have seen many rich people when I work in the bank, but Tangtang, you are the most simple rich person I have ever seen. A girl, your belongings can't even fill up a suitcase."
Bai Tang rolled his eyes at her, then said helplessly: "Don't mention it, I haven't always been rich. I was poor in the past, and I just became rich not long ago."
"Sometimes I don't have the awareness of a rich woman. My life is still the same as before, but I don't have to calculate how much I spend anymore."
Shi Mei nodded and said, "That's true. When you don't get in touch with levels and classes, you really don't know where to spend money. But when you go to Kyoto, it will be fine. There are places to spend money everywhere. It's not like our Wushi, a small place where there is really nothing to spend a lot of money on."
After checking the house again, turning off the water and electricity, and locking the doors and windows, Shi Mei took the box and put it in the trunk of the Cayenne, and then took the key to Bai Tang's house.
"Wenwen and I will come to check on you every now and then. The president has also arranged long-term housekeeping services, which will come to clean the house once every two weeks. Don't worry." Shi Mei closed the trunk.
We arrived at the Grand Hotel, which is not far from the airport, and checked into an executive suite. It cost 1,200 per night, which is the highest price in a small place like Urumqi.
I swiped my card to enter the room. The decoration was pretty good and the area was large. A coat and two large beds. Shi Mei and Li Wenwen were also staying here today and would send Bai Tang to the airport tomorrow morning.
After settling down for the night, the three of them went downstairs and drove back to the city. After discussing for a long time where to set up the table for the dinner party, Shi Mei finally decided to set up a big table at Hongbinju, whose roast duck was simply amazing.
When we arrived at Hongbinju, the hotel manager arranged a super large private room for us, with a large round table that could seat twenty people. There were also karaoke and mahjong tables, a sofa area for guests, and so on in the room.
After making all the arrangements and seeing that it was almost time, the Bai Tang trio started making phone calls to call people.
Mr. Lu knew that only young people would be present today, so he did not come. Instead, he asked Secretary Zhang to bring a box of Moutai liquor, which made Ding Wei, who arrived early, very greedy.
President Li did not come either, but he still arranged for someone to come to the hotel in advance to settle the bill.
In other words, Bai Tang didn't have to pay for the drinks and food at her farewell party, as someone else paid for it all.
Gradually, almost all the friends in the "Loving Family Cross-Country" group came, except for a few who were unable to leave due to some matters, but they also sent their blessings in the group.
The banquet started. Bai Tang stood up in the east seat with tea instead of wine.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come and see me off."
"I'm not a particularly talkative person. But I'm very happy today, happy to meet you lovely friends."
Then he turned to look at the duo from the bank next to him, "Special thanks to Sister Wenwen and Sister Shimei. It is my honor to have made friends with you two when I first stepped into society as an adult. I have seen and remembered your care for me."
Li Wenwen and Shi Mei stood up quickly and returned the greeting to Bai Tang. "Tangtang, it is an honor for both of us to meet you. May our friendship last forever."
Others at the table also started to join in the fun, "May our friendship last forever!" A group of people shouted for a toast.
After the opening drinks, the place became lively. Some people came to Bai Tang to toast, and some played finger-guessing games. After a while, everyone discussed where to go next and when to travel along the Sichuan-Tibet line.
With Ding Wei, a noisy person, present at the whole dinner, there was never a dull moment.
It was already past ten o'clock when the evening ended. Everyone knew that Bai Tang had to take a flight to Kyoto early the next morning, so no one played too late.
At the entrance of the hotel, everyone came over to say goodbye to Bai Tang and said take care. They agreed to travel together when Bai Tang came back from vacation.
Bai Tang also responded one by one, reminding everyone to be careful on the road and to let them know in the group when they got home.
In the end, only Zheng Long and Ding Wei were left. They had both been drinking, so they called a designated driver to drive.
Follow Bai Tang's car to take the three girls back to the hotel.
