Chapter 288 Harvesting the Assistant's Faith
The Lantern Festival only exists in Luo Yang's memory.
In recent years, it is rarely seen in the Yangtze River Delta area. On the contrary, in the Central Plains region, various activities organized by both the private and government sectors are more lively than the Spring Festival.
So this leads to a very strange phenomenon: migrant workers who return home before the Chinese New Year return very late and leave very late as well.
Some people attribute this phenomenon to a social phenomenon caused by economic development, but Luo Yang disagrees.
The Pearl River Delta has a developed economy and their traditions are well preserved.
For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are folk customs such as dragon boat racing.
Ultimately it is due to historical reasons. The Yangtze River Delta region was opened early and was deeply influenced by Western culture, so its traditional culture declined.
"In the future, we must bring out the essence of local traditional culture in our hometown, including the Lantern Festival."
On the way to the Magic City, this thought was churning in Luo Yang's mind.
But after meeting Jiang Wen, this thought was like the tide, rising quickly and falling quickly.
"Luo Yang, Luo Yang"
I haven't seen you for nearly a month, and the little fairy misses you terribly.
Jiang Wen kept murmuring her lover's name, wishing she could rub herself into his body and become a part of him.
At the critical moment, her cell phone rang.
"Oops."
After a brief moment of clarity of consciousness, Jiang Wen remembered something important.
"Senior Shen asked me to go to Chedun to look at the shops."
"Answer the phone!"
"what?"
The little goblin blinked and instantly understood what Luo Yang meant.
Biting her lower lip, she took the phone from the bedside table, swiped it to answer the call, and turned on the speakerphone.
"Wenwen, where have you been?"
Shen Jinglan's voice came through the microphone clearly: "I just arrived in Chedun and was about to go to the film and television base. How many minutes will it take you to arrive?"
"It will take me at least half an hour."
Half an hour?
Luo Yang was angry!
Even if we set out now, it will take 20 to 30 minutes to drive there. Who are you looking down on?
Jiang Wen's breathing suddenly became heavier, and even though she covered her mouth, a little disgusting sound could be heard.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't notice at first and said, "Is that so? Then I'll find a cafe to sit in first and I'll send you the name of the cafe later."
"Uh-huh."
The little goblin didn't dare to remove his hand from his mouth and could only answer with a nasal tone.
"Wenwen, have you worn the stockings I bought when we were shopping yesterday?"
Shen Jinglan seemed to be in a state of boredom, chatting about whatever topic came up: "I tried it on, and it felt pretty good. But the price is too expensive, several hundred yuan a pair."
Luo Yang subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wen's legs, which were covered with palm-sized cracks. Hundreds of dollars were gone.
"Let me tell you a little secret. I wore jeans today and I put my stockings inside. Hehe, you can try it."
Jiang Wen’s response is always “hmm”.
Shen Jinglan seemed to notice something was wrong: "Wenwen, what are you doing?"
"Uh-huh."
"?"
If it was someone else, they would have been restrained, but since it was Shen Jinglan, of course he had no scruples.
Luo Yang mischievously grabbed Jiang Wen's arm and pulled it back, using it as a pair of ponytails.
The goblin couldn't help but let out a string of gibberish.
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then a busy tone was heard.
Apparently hung up.
More than half an hour later, Jiang Wen came back to life and kept hitting Luo Yang's chest: "I'm going to die. How can I see Senior Sister Shen later?"
"Wash yourself up, I'll take you there."
Luo Yang picked up the little fairy and walked into the bathroom
“Wow, this car is beautiful!”
I was originally hesitant and felt that going to see Shen Jinglan was like going to the execution ground.
But when she saw the Bentley Continental parked downstairs, she was immediately attracted.
"A new Bentley?"
Jiang Wen, who had worked as a car model for some time, recognized the Bentley logo, but had never seen this new model.
"Continental Speed, a new model that came out last September."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Someone gave it to me."
"Jiang Fan?"
This was Jiang Wen’s first reaction.
"How can it be."
Luo Yang smiled and flicked her head: "A few business partners sent it to you. Why are you still standing there? Get in the car!"
"Oh!"
After getting in the car, Jiang Wen looked around, obviously very interested.
"I asked you to learn how to drive. Have you got your driver's license yet?"
"Take it, take it!"
The primary school student usually answered actively, raised one hand, and looked at Luo Yang with shining eyes.
"When summer vacation comes, I'll help you see if there are any new Maserati or Porsche models."
Based on her performance on Valentine's Day, Luo Yang decided to give her a reward, but he was short of money now and would have to wait until the second half of the year to have more money.
As for himself, all his expenses are now basically covered by Naixue or Zhengyang Group.
It is foolish to spend money on yourself.
"Uh-huh."
Before the car started, the little goblin came up to Luo Yang, hugged his neck and gave him a sweet kiss.
"Uh-huh."
Luo Yang smiled and simulated the conversation that Jiang Wen had had not long ago.
The little goblin blushed and shrank back to the passenger seat like an ostrich.
The restaurant scene near Chedun Film and Television Base is quite prosperous, so it is easy for Shen Jinglan to find a coffee shop.
She sat quietly by the window, as if watching the passers-by outside. In fact, if you look carefully, you can find that her pupils are dilated.
My mind is full of memories of what just happened.
"It must be intentional!"
She bit her lower lip and thought, "It can't be Jiang Wen. It must be Luo Yang. He knew it was me who called, so he did this on purpose."
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled.
It disappeared after just a moment, muttering: "It's clearly right in front of you, you can pick it at any time, why are you so cruel and just don't want it?"
She had no time to think about the store at the moment, her mind was a mess, full of random thoughts. A single beauty sitting in a cafe, in a big city like Shanghai, naturally there was no shortage of men coming up to say hello.
Shen Jinglan didn't even bother to say no, and used silence to discourage those who came to chat with her.
It was said to be half an hour, but she waited for more than an hour.
It was around 3:30 in the afternoon that Luo Yang and Jiang Wen appeared in her sight.
"I was wondering why you came so late. It turns out that Mr. Luo came to the Magic City."
Seeing Jiang Wen's evasive look from a distance, Shen Jinglan cleverly forgot about the phone call: "It's almost four o'clock, let's hurry up and find a store."
"You guys go shopping, I'll drink coffee here for a while."
Luo Yang was not interested in doing this: "I'll treat you to dinner when you come back from shopping."
Neither of them had any objections, so they linked their arms, chatted and laughed as they left the cafe.
A little after four o'clock, Luo Yang received a call from Chu Junliang, president of the Shanghai branch of Ningbo Bank, inviting him to have dinner together on the evening of the 19th.
"number 19?"
"Yes, it happens to be Saturday, so drinking a little won't affect the next day."
Chu Junliang smiled and asked, "Mr. Luo, do you have anything to do that day?"
"I have an interview during the day."
Luo Yang remembered that the interview at Zhengyang Group was also on the 19th.
"It won't affect the evening."
"Well, there are a lot of people interviewing that day, so I might be a little late. Is that okay?"
"Of course it doesn't matter. I'll wait for you, Mr. Luo, no matter how late it is."
Chu Junliang immediately finalized: "Then it's settled. On the evening of the 19th, I'll send the specific location to your phone later."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Yang immediately called An Ying's cell phone.
"Accompany me to a dinner party on the evening of the 19th."
"From Yongcheng Bank?"
An Ying immediately guessed who was inviting this dinner: "Do you want to invite Director Xu?"
"It shouldn't be about discussing specific business."
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Just the two of us will participate."
"Ok."
After agreeing, An Ying immediately reported: "Boss, you have to come to the company in the next two days. The specific matters of opening the second batch of 100 stores have been started. Many bills and expenses need your approval."
"Well, I've been in the Magic City these past two days."
Luo Yang nodded and said, "I'll go to the company tomorrow morning to handle the affairs."
"Okay, there are still some small matters that I will report to you tomorrow."
The two consecutive phone calls were not long, but when he put down the phone, he saw Jiang Wen and Shen Jinglan were already returning.
"So fast?"
"It's thanks to Mr. Luo."
Shen Jinglan smiled and responded, "Jiang Wen and I had just gone out for a while when we saw a suitable shop on this street. There was a sign for sale at the door. We called the owner and he happened to be nearby."
By this time, Jiang Wen had gotten rid of the embarrassment she felt when she first arrived.
She let go of her arm and sat opposite Luo Yang, smiling and saying, "Luo Yang, what a coincidence! I just heard from the transfer owner that the transfer notice will be posted after Valentine's Day. If it weren't for the low traffic at the beginning of the year, most shops here would be bought by others within a day."
"Boss Luo, would you like to help me take a look?"
Shen Jinglan asked Luo Yang uneasily: "It's about 60 square meters, and the ceiling is more than 5 meters high. The actual usable area can be expanded a bit."
"This is a good location, and you don't have a choice, right?"
Luo Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Since it is a blessing, don't reject this good luck."
Although I don’t know why the other party wants to transfer the store here, since I found it so quickly, why should I be picky?
Moreover, Naixue’s minimum requirement for D-level stores is only 45 square meters.
"Since Mr. Luo has said so, then it is decided."
As Shen Jinglan spoke, she took out her cell phone to contact the store owner, planning to make a decision today.
It would take some time to process all this, so Jiang Wen went to the bar and ordered two cups of coffee. She chatted with Luo Yang while waiting for this to finish.
A little after five o'clock, the two parties signed the transfer agreement.
Shen Jinglan paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, and agreed to pay the remaining money in one lump sum tomorrow, which finalized the store.
"Let's go, let's find a better place to celebrate the acquisition of Senior Sister Shen's store."
After walking out of the coffee shop, Jiang Wen took Luo Yang's arm and happily announced that they would celebrate in the evening.
She was more excited than when she opened her own shop.
It seems that she is really afraid of being alone and needs a companion like a best friend.
The next morning, Luo Yang drove to Minhang. He passed by the demolition project site. It was deserted and no work had started yet. He looked dazed.
For no reason, I thought about the future decline of the real estate industry.
Fortunately, we arrived at Naixue’s headquarters soon.
Then there was no time to think about anything else, as An Ying came in with a stack of documents and asked him to sign them.
During this period, people from the marketing and operations departments came to report on things. By the time he finished all his work, it was already a little after ten o'clock.
As soon as the new year began, all departments started running like precision machines.
Compared with the construction site scene just now, it is much more lively.
"Boss, do you want me to order you some lunch?"
A little after eleven thirty, An Ying came in and asked Luo Yang: "There's a fast food restaurant nearby that has pretty good bento."
"Okay, you help me order one."
Luo Yang put down the newspaper in his hand: "Is there no takeout company now?"
Hearing this question, An Ying was stunned for a moment, and then replied embarrassedly: "Boss, I really haven't paid attention to this."
At this point in time, Are You Hungry?
Luo Yang shook his head, dismissing the sudden idea, and then smacked his lips and said, "I'm afraid it won't work this year. Next year, we should try to build a headquarters building so that we can have our own cafeteria."
An Ying: “.”
A headquarters building costs tens of billions of dollars. Boss, you spend so much money just to solve the problem of food?
"When you have time, keep an eye on the nearby commercial buildings."
"Okay, boss."
She thought about it carefully and asked, "Is the scope limited to Minhang?"
“It can be expanded to the junction of Xuhui and Minhang.”
It is in a period of large-scale construction, with commercial buildings rising from the ground. The city intends to create another commercial CBD area between Minhang and Xuhui.
It has been 11 years now. In 13, the property market is in a cold winter, so maybe you can get a bargain.
An Ying had no idea what Luo Yang was planning.
This is the information gap, which laid a foreshadowing for Luo Yang to show off!
The assistant's faith was harvested in this way.
I guess you must have monthly tickets in your hands.
Be honest and hand it over.
come on!
