After the plane climbed to its cruising altitude, it began to fly steadily. At this point, the seatbelt indicator lights went out, and the flight attendants began to provide services to the passengers.
Because first-class passengers are closest to the flight attendants, they are the first to receive service from them, and the flight attendants serve them in a half-kneeling position.
Within two minutes, Ding Yi knew why Zhang Yun wanted to switch seats with him. Damn, was this middle-aged man next to him crazy? He actually slipped a small note to the flight attendant right in front of him. Although the flight attendant frowned slightly, she still took the note.
However, Ding Yi later saw through the gap in the front curtain that the flight attendant threw the note directly into the trash can, which made Ding Yi secretly happy.
Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Yun each ordered a bottle of mineral water, as well as a bag of nuts and snacks for each first-class passenger.
Then the conversation resumed.
"Are you two also thinking of investing in Hong Kong stocks?"
Investing in Hong Kong stocks isn't anything shameful, so Huang Xiaochuan nodded.
"Yes, let's go take a look and learn more about it first."
Have you ever been to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?
Huang Xiaochuan shook his head.
"Then you'll come with me for the next few days. I'll take you around and be your guide, for free!"
But Zhang Yun was thinking that it wouldn't be bad to have two bodyguards when going out, since it wouldn't cost any money.
Huang Xiaochuan turned to look at Ding Yi, but the guy pretended to be deaf and dumb, acting as if he hadn't heard or seen anything, and closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
After thinking it over, Huang Xiaochuan realized it was just one more person, so he agreed to Zhang Yun's suggestion.
Upon arriving at Kai Tak Airport, Zhang Yun became even more convinced that her decision was correct, because the Peninsula Hotel, which Huang Xiaochuan had booked, sent a stretched Cadillac to pick up Huang Xiaochuan and his party.
Therefore, Zhang Yun canceled her reservation at the Ritz-Carlton and sent away the hotel's shuttle car, and she left with Huang Xiaochuan.
But who are those two people who are always following Huang Xiaochuan at a distance?
Zhang Yun quickly figured it out and couldn't help but open her mouth wide. My goodness, these two students actually brought bodyguards with them when they went out?
Zhang Yun couldn't help but gain a new understanding of Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi; these two lads seemed to have many secrets!
Huang Xiaochuan also discovered that Zhang Yun was no ordinary person. She showed no surprise at the luxurious interior of the Cadillac. Instead, she skillfully picked out a bottle of champagne from the car's wine cabinet and tasted it, and even made sure that Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi could also try some.
On the contrary, Ding was very curious about the car's interior, acting as if he had never seen anything like it before.
Because of the addition of Zhang Yun as a burden, Huang Xiaochuan made some adjustments to his Hong Kong itinerary.
After a sumptuous dinner, the group went about their own business.
Ding Yi asked the hotel receptionist to buy him a large number of newspapers and magazines so he could take them back to his room to study. He also wanted to make a phone call to Qi Huan, as they had agreed before he came.
Huang Xiaochuan actually wanted to advise him that Hong Kong newspapers and magazines are different from those on the mainland, and they all use Cantonese. If you are not familiar with Cantonese, they will be very difficult to understand. However, when Huang Xiaochuan saw that there was also a copy of Dragon Tiger Leopard tucked inside, he wisely shut his mouth.
Huang Xiaochuan went to the coffee shop and met with Cao Charlie, who had come to report to him.
Charlie Cao has a few gray hairs at his temples. He's been running himself ragged with working for a boss like Huang Xiaochuan, but he's happy to do it because Huang Xiaochuan is willing to pay him.
Regarding salaries and benefits, Huang Xiaochuan has always adhered to the principle that "the emperor will not starve his soldiers." Even Zhou Wei and his colleagues' monthly salaries have increased to 2,400 yuan a month. This is because Huang Xiaochuan has taken into account the factors of inflation and currency devaluation in mainland China.
"Mr. Huang, if you have some spare time, why don't you go and take a look at the company?"
"Don't rush into going to the company. Have you made any progress on the candidate I asked you to find for the deputy general manager?"
"We've already had HR contact the headhunting firm, and we'll get a response soon."
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Cao Charlie, who looked somewhat tired.
"Charlie, hire two assistants to help you. I remember you're not even forty yet, right? Take care of your health. You need to be healthy to work better. There's a saying in mainland China: 'Health is the foundation of everything.' Don't overwork yourself."
Huang Xiaochuan's words moved Cao Charlie to tears of gratitude, and he wished he could dedicate himself to serving Huang Xiaochuan until his dying breath.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huang. I will definitely take good care of the company."
"Just operate the company according to plan. You can decide the minor things yourselves. If there's anything you can't decide, then talk to me."
"clear!"
"By the way, after the Spring Festival, register an investment company in Shanghai under the name of Cactus Investment."
"Okay, I understand!"
Her outfit was simple yet stylish: a loose white t-shirt casually paired with high-waisted jeans, the cuffs rolled up to reveal her slender ankles, and white canvas shoes.
Since they had run into each other, Huang Xiaochuan took the initiative to greet her: "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Yun waved her hand: "We're not at school, don't call me 'teacher,' it makes me sound old. Outside, you can call me 'Catherine.'"
"Catherine?"
"My name when I was studying in the US, wasn't it nice?"
Huang Xiaochuan could only nod, thinking to himself that of course he thought the name he chose sounded good.
"Catherine, what's going on?"
"I want to go out for a late-night snack! Don't you know that late-night snacks are popular in Hong Kong?"
Huang Xiaochuan looked at Zhang Yun's figure suspiciously. How could such a gluttonous woman maintain her figure? How strange. She hadn't stopped talking the whole way, even when she was chatting with Huang Xiaochuan.
She ate on the plane, ate again after getting on the car, and had another lavish meal at the hotel. She ate the most, and now she even wants to have a late-night snack. Huang Xiaochuan wondered if she was born in the Year of the Rat.
"Are you planning to eat out alone?"
Zhang Yun smiled slyly: "So you were planning to go alone, but now that I've met you, let's go together!"
Huang Xiaochuan really wanted to say he didn't want to go, but he was worried that the woman might run into trouble if she went out alone so late at night, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Zhou Wei and He Wenfeng with him to a night market near the hotel.
It was called a night market, but it was actually a restaurant that was open all night. There aren't many roadside food stalls that have licenses to operate normally these days, and it was also quite far from the hotel, so the four of them found a restaurant that looked pretty good nearby.
Zhou Wei and He Wenfeng sat at one table, while Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Yun sat at another.
Zhang Yun waved to the waiter to order: "One Typhoon Shelter Spicy Crab, and one steamed grouper. What kind of grouper do you have today?"
"I have various types of pigmentation, including blackheads, freckles, and sesame spots."
"Then let's have a grouper, one order of tiger prawns, one order of kale, and two beers. The table next to us ordered the same thing, please!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, beautiful lady!" The waiter wrote down the order and went to place it.
"Are you sure you can finish all this food?"
Zhang Yun rinsed the tableware with tea and casually placed a set in front of Huang Xiaochuan.
"Don't worry! I didn't order much. What are you afraid of with me here?"
These words were tantamount to admitting that he was a good-for-nothing, and Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but chuckle.
