Chapter 87 Secretary Wang
The Swan Hotel is built on a mudflat, and there is a pier opposite it. After Lu Jiaxin had a hearty breakfast, she walked out and saw many wooden boats docked on the river. The pier opposite was even more crowded. There were people selling breakfast, fruit, seafood and vegetables, and it was very lively.
Gu Wenfeng looked at the old wooden boats on the river and the bustling pier opposite, and then looked back at the tall and majestic hotel, with a very complicated mood.
Lu Jiaxin asked curiously: "Brother Gu, why don't these boats go out to sea and dock at the pier?"
Fishermen make a living by fishing. If they don't go out to sea, they will have no income. If they don't have money, the whole family may starve.
Gu Wenfeng said: "It seems that there is a typhoon landing, and they dare not go out to sea. It's too dangerous. Miss Lu, are you going to the pier opposite?"
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said: "I just ate too much, so I'll walk to digest the food."
Gu Wenfeng was a little confused. The scenery here is much worse than the beautiful scenery of the hotel. He didn't know that in Lu Jiaxin's eyes, the blue sky and the green sea were incomparable to man-made scenery.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there were no people around, and Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother Gu, who are you going to find to be the middleman?"
Gu Wenfeng hesitated and said: "Manager Chen of the hotel is the cousin of my comrade's brother-in-law. He told me the details of Comrade Nie Zhan."
Lu Jiaxin felt that he had a wide network of contacts, but it was a pity that he was unwilling to do business, otherwise they could become partners: "Brother Gu, you owe so many favors for my affairs, I don't know how to repay you."
Gu Wenfeng said very bluntly: "Miss Lu, I don't need you to repay me, I just hope that I can return to the city after selling the paintings."
Lu Jiaxin didn't speak, silence was also a refusal.
Gu Wenfeng knew that he couldn't change her mind with just a few words, so he changed the subject: "Manager Chen promised to pass on a message for us. If this secretary is not interested in our paintings, we have to change our target."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely be interested."
Being Nie Zhan's secretary, she naturally has to share his worries. For an old man like Nie, his family should celebrate his birthday. The younger generation must show their appreciation for the elders' birthdays. Old man Nie is the one in power in the Nie family, and he must have racked his brains to prepare gifts to please him.
Gu Wenfeng didn't know why she was so confident: "I hope it's as you said."
After walking back, Manager Chen found Gu Wenfeng and whispered: "I told Secretary Wang about the paintings. She is very interested and wants to make an appointment with you to talk."
Gu Wenfeng felt that any time would be fine.
Manager Chen saw that Lu Jiaxin had no objection and said, "Secretary Wang went out with General Manager Nie. I'll ask her when she comes back."
After discussing the matter, Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to get her bag and went out. Walking on the clean and tidy road, she looked at the old houses on the street with some emotion. After a few years, these houses will disappear, replaced by tall buildings.
Gu Wenfeng followed for a while and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to visit your aunt?"
Lu Jiaxin knew that according to people's thinking now, the grievances of the elders have nothing to do with the younger generation. The quarrel between Lu's mother and Lu Xiaogu was their sister-in-law's business, and the original body should still respect the aunt.
After thinking about it, she briefly recounted the things that Lu Xiaogu had done: "She doesn't take my mother seriously, so I don't have this aunt."
Gu Wenfeng didn't expect Lu Xiaogu to help Ding Jing suppress her. He didn't know what was in his mind. No wonder this girl didn't even come to the door.
Lu Jiaxin asked with a smile: "Brother Gu, I haven't heard you mention your family yet?"
Gu Wenfeng didn't hide it from her on purpose, but he felt it was unnecessary. Now that Lu Jiaxin mentioned it, he just said it. He got married three years ago and had a baby last year, a pair of twin sons.
Lu Jiaxin looked at his serious expression and smiled: "You are so fierce and not gentle and considerate. What does sister-in-law like about you?"
Gu Wenfeng said earnestly: "Sweet words can't be eaten. The most important thing for a man is responsibility and commitment. Miss Lu, you have to find a partner like me in the future."
Lu Jiaxin couldn't help laughing: "Brother Gu, I didn't realize you were so narcissistic!"
Gu Wenfeng felt that he was not narcissistic, but felt that responsibility and commitment were the most basic for a man. If he didn't have these two things, he wouldn't be worthy of being a man.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Gu, I think you are only half right. Finding a partner requires not only responsibility and accountability, but also sweet talk to make people happy, otherwise I won't marry you."
"By the way, you can just call me by my name in the future, don't call me Miss Lu, it sounds awkward."
The two chatted while walking, and when they were hungry, they just went into a roadside snack shop. Unexpectedly, the rice rolls in this shop were smooth and chewy.
Lu Jiaxin wiped her mouth and said, "Don't blame those gluttons for saying that the masters are among the common people. I have eaten rice noodle rolls so many times, and this time I finally ate the most authentic one."
"Are there rice noodle rolls for sale in Sijiu City?"
Lu Jiaxin reacted very quickly and said, "I have stayed in Pengcheng three times before, and I ate wonton noodles, rice noodle rolls, bowl porridge and shrimp dumplings every day. Because of so many delicious foods, I gained six pounds in just half a month."
Gu Wenfeng looked at her thin body and said, "Then you should eat more in the future and try to gain six pounds before you go back."
Lu Jiaxin knew that he was worried about her health: "After everything here is done, I will follow the doctor's advice when I return to Sijiu City. I will not travel far before my body is well."
"You said it yourself."
"A gentleman's word is as good as his words."
Gu Wenfeng was worried about what Manager Chen said and wanted to go back earlier, but he didn't expect Lu Jiaxin to be in no hurry: "The most important task of each department now is to attract investment. For big investors like Nie Zhan, the relevant departments must treat them well. It will probably be very late before they return to the hotel."
But Lu Jiaxin made a mistake in judgment this time, and Nie Zhan came back in the afternoon. Secretary Wang originally wanted to see the paintings in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that the two of them went out, so he changed the meeting time to nine o'clock in the evening.
Manager Chen said: "Don't go out again at night, otherwise Secretary Wang will think you have no credit and will not buy your paintings anymore."
Gu Wenfeng immediately promised not to go anywhere and stayed in the room.
At 8:50, Lu Jiaxin took the paintings to Gu Wenfeng's room, and at 8:59, Manager Chen brought Secretary Wang to the room. Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised to see the person coming. She thought it was a man from the name, but she didn't expect it to be a woman.
Secretary Wang was wearing a dark white suit, looking smart and capable. Lu Jiaxin read gossip in Hong Kong in her previous life, saying that rich people in Hong Kong like to use beautiful secretaries. The secretary in front of her didn't look outstanding, and there were a few freckles on her face, but she had a hot body, and her curvy figure was very charming.
