National Tide 1980.

Chapter 279 Tony Wang

Just when Ning Weimin brought his "beautiful and pure foreign charmer" every day, he was busy with the opening of Jianguo Hotel's new store and it was almost over.

It was when Zhao Hanyu chased Mi Xiaoran the tightest and almost ran to Mi's house.

In fact, it was also the time when Mi Xiaoran felt the most painful.

During that time, she didn't want to go home after work.

He was too lazy to talk to his parents, and he didn't want to deal with Zhao Hanyu's pursuit.

She had nowhere to go, so she would often run to Tiananmen Square, spread out a newspaper and sit there until dark.

Here, although looking at the men, women, adults and children entering and leaving the square, it seems that everyone is happy, and it seems that everyone is living a good life.

It would make her feel even more like the unlucky one who had been thrown out of a good life.

But under the transparent blue sky and in the empty square, this cheerful scene full of sunshine can evoke some beautiful and comfortable feelings after all, just like people on the beach seeing the sea.

The tall Qianmen building and the Tiananmen Square in the distance seemed to have a mysterious power passed down from generation to generation, which could gradually wear away the restlessness in her heart and gradually stabilize her mood.

So Mi Xiaoran, who had calmed down through scattered memories, gradually began to reflect on herself.

She realized that her understanding of Ning Weimin had always been one-sided.

In the past, she only knew that Ning Weimin had helped her, and she valued his outstanding appearance, quick thinking, amazing talent and understanding and expressiveness in dealing with others.

But he ignored Ning Weimin's ambition, his ambiguous slickness, and his heart as hard as a stone.

She suddenly realized that her mother was right, that Ning Weimin was really not a suitable candidate for a husband.

This person's mind is too active, his mouth is also very strict, and his heart is deeper than bottomless.

What you want, no one can know.

She couldn't even tell if the words were true or false.

So what if two people come together?

Most of the time, she still won't be satisfied and get the life she wants.

In other words, Ning Weimin seemed to lack a kind of temperament, and he was a very insecure person.

It is very easy to live in harmony with it, but it is really difficult to get close to it, and it is even more difficult to communicate with it.

On the contrary, Zhao Hanyu, who was mediocre in appearance, had a lot more temperament.

After getting in touch with her a lot, she discovered that the American college student was very persistent in her emotions, and she never gave up on her pursuit, and she was always on the bright side.

I can't wait to show her all the things in my heart, eager to use all means to increase the relationship between the two parties.

This, on the contrary, gave her a more solid feeling.

Maybe I'm really wrong?What should I do?

Listen to my parents, try to fall in love again, and find someone who loves me sincerely?

In fact, as long as it is reliable, even if it is a foreigner, it is not impossible...

In this way, as the days passed, Mi Xiaoran seriously thought about his future and gradually changed his mind.

I was planning to try to accept new emotions, so that I could forget about Ning Weimin.

A close relative of Zhao Hanyu also came to Beijing from the United States.

And this person made Mi Xiaoran see that there are more possibilities and more beautiful scenery in life.

This is tantamount to pushing her again, making her involuntarily make a new plan for her personal emotions and future.

That meeting was one day in late April.

That day, Mi Xiaoran returned home an hour later than usual because he was waiting for the labor insurance benefits to be paid by the employer.

What surprised her most was that she didn't see Zhao Hanyu that day, but a strange middle-aged man was sitting at home.

The man was about 40 years old, with a fair face and a slightly fat body.

Maybe it's very ordinary clothes, just an ordinary jacket, black trousers and a pair of leather shoes.

It didn't attract Mi Xiaoran's attention very much, she just thought it was some acquaintance of her parents who came to the house as a guest.

So he went into the room and put down the things on his own, and just nodded politely at the man.

I said to Aunt Mi who was accompanying the guests, "Mom, I'm going to make dinner", and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, not only Aunt Mi stopped her immediately, but the stranger also stood up and introduced himself.

"Mismi, nice to meet you. I am Zhao Hanyu's uncle. My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Dadong. You can just call me Tony."

"I took the liberty to come to the door today, not only to thank you for saving the life of Danny (Zhao Hanyu's English name) on behalf of my elder sister's family. At the same time, I also came to ask you for help."

"Ah... By the way, Danny has gone to book a banquet and will be back soon. That's right, I heard him tell me that your English is very good, and you are still working as a hotel receptionist. I don't know if you want to Would you like to take a few days off and help me?"

Wang Dadong's Mandarin is much better than Zhao Hanyu's.

Although it is also a very awkward southern accent, and the speaking speed is terribly slow.

But at least it's not stumbling, unable to find the sound.

Can fully understand, normal communication is no problem.

It's just that Mi Xiaoran couldn't get back to his senses for a long time because the words were too thoughtless.

Because she really can't think of what she can do to help others.

"No, no, I... I'll call you Mr. Wang. You... Do you want my help?"

"My English level is actually not good, and I can only do simple daily conversations. I... I am just an ordinary person, what can I help you?"

"If you have something important to do, then... you should ask the comrades from the 'Foreign Affairs Office'..."

But Mi Xiaoran didn't expect that even if she was so uncertain, the other party had no intention of changing her mind at all.

Instead, Wang Dadong talked about his own problems, and government officials could only do a disservice to him, but only Mi Xiaoran was more suitable.

After explaining in detail, Mi Xiaoran really understood what was going on.

Dare to say that Wang Dadong has always been engaged in the fast food industry in the United States, and once served as a senior executive in a multinational fast food chain company.

After the Spring Festival this year, the Republic sent a group of cadres from the commercial port to visit the United States.

Wang Dadong, as a representative of a well-known fast food businessman in the Chinese circle, participated in the tea party held by the visiting group in San Francisco.

It was at this tea party that a high-ranking cadre very quickly sent an investment invitation to Wang Dadong, and offered very favorable investment conditions. He hoped that Wang Dadong could go to the Republic to see if there was any opportunity for cooperation.

This made Wang Dadong tempted, and then he knew that his nephew Zhao Hanyu was traveling in the Republic, so he packed his bags and came here.

When he first arrived in the Republic, Wang Dadong actually tried to complete market research with the help of the government.

Unexpectedly, the gap between the two sides' understanding of this matter was too great, and it was completely screwed up.

So something happened that made him dumbfounded.

For example, the official thinks that what he wants to run is for foreigners, which is a western restaurant.

The relevant staff always took him to high-end consumer places to see, and arranged for him to choose a location in the embassy district.

These people don't understand at all that the lifeline of fast food restaurants is high quality and low price, and they must be open to ordinary people in order to survive.

For another example, it is very likely that because of good face or fear of poor basic conditions, the investment will eventually run away.

The official data provided by Wang Dadong is perfunctory, even exaggerated and beautified.

In addition, foreign-funded enterprises in the Mainland cannot operate as sole proprietorships, and must find a partner.

It doesn't matter who to turn to, the foreign businessman himself decides, it has to be designated by the government.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to shop insurance.

The partners of Pilkardon are the Ministry of Textiles and the Ministry of Economy and Trade.

Of course, these are difficult for Wang Dadong to accept.

Investment requires real money. He must be responsible for his own property. He must find out the real situation and be aware of it.

So he has no choice but to rely on his own strength, first try to understand the economic income and daily consumption patterns of the people in the Republic, as well as the specific situation of catering services.

Needless to say, this kind of work is of course not a little difficult for a foreigner who is not familiar with the conditions of the Republic at all.

So after meeting with his nephew, Zhao Hanyu introduced Mi Xiaoran's situation.

Wang Dadong felt that he had found someone who could help him, and excitedly came to invite him.

While listening to Wang Dadong say these words, Mi Xiaoran has been carefully observing Wang Dadong's expression.

What she saw was a pair of beautiful eyes behind the black tortoiseshell glasses, revealing a kind and honest look.

There is neither arrogance and arrogance, nor guilt and anxiety.

It feels quite calm and full of sincerity, and it is easy to generate a sense of trust.

Then consider the cold reception I have given Zhao Hanyu all the time, and my gradually changing mind recently.

So it's hard for Mi Xiaoran not to be moved.

After all, the introduction of foreign capital is what the government is eager for.

Asking for a few days off is not only helping others, but also doing a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Why not do it?

Her only worry is whether she has the ability to help this favor, and whether she will fail others' entrustment.

This is the habit of most Chinese people these days. They are always too humble and unconfident, and she is the same.

But this worry soon disappeared.

Because after questioning, Wang Dadong said that it only took a few days.

All she had to do was to take Wang Dadong to visit the bustling business districts in Beijing and Tianjin.

At most, sometimes, it may also help to act as a translator.

And all the expenses are borne by Wang Dadong, she doesn't have to worry about it at all

Mi Xiaoran was completely relieved, and readily agreed.

At this time, she would never have thought that the matter she participated in would have such a major change in her future life.

She would not know that she accidentally participated in the creation of the catering history of the Republic.

Of course, she would never have imagined that the subsequent impact of this incident would even change the eating habits of hundreds of millions of people in the Republic.

And the gentle Tony Wang in front of him, 30 years later, the people of the Republic will call him "the father of fast food chains".
