How to be financially free

Chapter 690 This Bridesmaid Looks Familiar
The date of re-opening is set in a few days.

In order to build momentum, there will be a big customer salon tonight, all of which are long-term agreement users of Penglai Hotel, including schools and enterprises.

These are the fixed orders brought to Penglai Hotel every year, and the hotel naturally needs to pay attention to them.

Tonight, Xu Wen will also be present.

"Xu Dong, this is the venue for tonight." Zhou Siling introduced the salon venue tonight.

In the hall, it was arranged in the form of a buffet dinner. In addition to the prepared food, the hotel also arranged for several chefs to make it on the spot.

The overall look and feel is very good.

Xu Wen nodded, explained a few more details, and asked Zhou Siling to arrange the reception.

Leaving the hall, Xu Wen walked through the corridor.

Outside the several halls of the promenade, there are wedding companies busy setting up the stage, with new Chinese style, Mori style, classical, everything you expect.

The hall of Penglai Hotel is notoriously square, huge, and extremely high, which is very suitable for those big weddings.

Not far away, a couple of newlyweds just rushed to the scene to prepare for the rehearsal.

Surrounded by photographers, wedding supervisors, and a group of groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Xu Wen passed by and took a look.

"Xu Wen?" Suddenly, a voice stopped him.

Xu Wen stopped and looked back. Not far away, there was a bridesmaid wearing a long skirt with gentle eyebrows. At this moment, she was looking at him with a smile.

"Ye Qing?" Xu Wen stopped and called out his name.

This is Ye Qing, his high school classmate. He was developing in Shanghai. When he bought Gubei No. [-], he met Ye Qing and gave her a blue balloon.

There have been ambiguities and sparks, but there has been no further development.

"So it's really you!" Ye Qing stepped forward and looked at the figure in front of her with a smile.

"Are you also coming to the hotel for the banquet?"

"That's right!" Xu Wen nodded, "Is this your friend or relative getting married?"

He looked at the group of people not far away, counting Ye Qing, three bridesmaids, and three best men, the battle was not small.

Among the bridesmaids, Ye Qing is naturally responsible for her beauty.

"It's my friend since childhood." Ye Qing pointed to the happily smiling bride not far away.

"Originally, I didn't plan to come back, but the job is not yet in sight anyway, so I might as well come back and wait until next year."

"Work? Not sure yet?" Xu Wen was slightly surprised.

Hearing this, Ye Qing blushed slightly.

"There are jobs everywhere, but how can it be so easy to find a job you want?"

"Then you..." Xu Wen pondered for a moment, and was about to ask Ye Qing if she was interested in going to work at his Haichuan Group headquarters in Shanghai.

Then, one of the groomsmen on the side came over.

"Ye Qing, the bride is calling you!"

This best man is also a young guy with a well-proportioned figure and a little handsome, but at this moment, look at Xu Wen's eyes.

Only men understand.

It was a slightly wary look.

"Then I'll go there first." Ye Qing waved her hand lightly and left with a smile.

"Brother, are you Ye Qing's friend?" The best man asked tentatively from the side.

Xu Wen smiled and looked at the best man in front of him.

"Above AUO, why, are you also interested in Ye Qing?"

"Above AUO, that means you haven't made it yet." The boy suddenly relaxed, "Brother, fair competition, Ye Qing, I have my eye on it."

"You want to compete fairly with me?" Xu Wen asked amusedly.

Although he is not interested in Ye Qing now, suddenly someone came out and claimed to compete with him fairly.

This is a bit...unbelievable, and it's a fantasy.

"Why, buddy, can't you? Or do you think you have an advantage over me?" The best man felt that the boy in front of him seemed a little too confident.

We are all young people, and we are all on the same starting line. Why are you so confident?
"Be your best man!" Xu Wen smiled and didn't say much to him.

It seems that it is necessary to talk to Ye Qing about her new job later.

It seems that I am in Shanghai, and I still need a little assistant?
I just don't know what Ye Qing's so-called ideal job is like. It's definitely not a problem to talk about ambitions with him, but it's okay to talk about practical things, such as salary.

As his assistant, there are still many hidden benefits.

The young man frowned, looking at his back in the distance, feeling inexplicably upset.

In the evening, in the conference hall, Zhou Siling was busy receiving the agreed clients of Penglai Hotel.

These big customers include the person in charge of the school's administrative office, the head of the unit, the executive manager of the company, and the person in charge of some exhibition companies.

Zhou Siling was naturally responsible for the reception.

It's not that Xu Wen has to put on airs, the main thing is that business reception pays attention to equality of status.

As the general manager of Penglai Hotel, Zhou Siling received them at a high enough level. As the chairman of the group, he can come forward, but the reception is unnecessary.

Inside the venue, the atmosphere was free and active.

At 06:30 in the evening, as the general manager of Penglai Hotel, Zhou Siling stepped onto the stage and said a few words.

"Next, let our group chairman, Xu Dong, come to the stage and give a speech."

Below, thunderous applause.

The guests attending the on-site meeting tonight more or less know that this Director Xu has huge assets.

As far as I know, for example, the big boss behind several five-star hotels in Haicheng is this Xu Dong.

Although they have been famous for a long time, it is the first time that they actually meet each other.

After a while, a figure walked onto the stage.

Under the light, this figure is tall and straight, with brows and eyes that are graceful in the wind, and the aura is imposing, blowing towards his face.

"Old friends from Penglai Hotel, good evening!"

The speech at the party was delivered by Xu Wenxin. Although there was no deliberate preparation in advance, this call was full of true feelings.

The following applause lasted for a long time.

After stepping off the stage, all kinds of people came up to meet Xu Wen.

"Xu Dong, I have admired your name for a long time, I never thought you would be so handsome!"

"Xu Dong, this is my business card, please give me more advice in the future."

After all, they are all long-term customers of Penglai Hotel, and they are a fairly stable source of income for Penglai Hotel.

Xu Wenke was polite and exchanged business cards one by one.

A dinner party, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Those who could be arranged to stay in the hotel, Xu Wen let them stay, but there were also some business executives who insisted on going back.

A group of people were full of stars, talking and laughing all the way, surrounded by Xu Wen all the way down.

This point is just after nine o'clock.

The dinner party ended, and the wedding banquet in the upper hall basically ended one after another.

"Zhou Siling, have you called all the drivers?"

Outside the hotel lobby, Xu Wen looked at Zhou Siling who was on the side.

"Xu Dong, everything has been arranged." Zhou Siling said quickly.

Behind a group of people, the crowd is surging.

There are departing guests, the host's family, and wedding staff who are busy unpacking things during the wedding.

In the distance, a group of people approached.

"Ye Qing, my brother has inquired about your situation several times, why don't you give me a chance, you guys get to know each other well, my brother is a good character, and the family conditions are also very good." said the groom who was still wearing a suit.

On the side, several groomsmen coaxed.

One of them was a little embarrassed.

"I'm really still thinking about my personal things at the moment, and now I mainly want to focus on work."

"Oh, Ye Qing, it's important to have a balance between work and life!" The bride also persuaded from the side.

The two bridesmaids of Yingying and Yanyan also helped.

Ye Qing was in a difficult situation for a while.

"Don't force others to make things difficult for you!" A voice came from not far away.

Ye Qing raised her head, looked at the figure not far away in disbelief, and murmured.

"Xu Wen?"

An outsider spoke, and immediately, several people at the scene looked at each other.

The groomsmen stood beside him with an ugly face, and the groom stood up.

"Brother, this seems to be something between us, right?"

Only the bride seemed to see that Ye Qing knew that boy.

"Ye Qing, do you know her?"

"It's my classmate." Ye Qing nodded slightly.

Not far away, Xu Wen turned his head and waved.

"Ye Qing, come here, I just have something to tell you."

The best man on the side couldn't hold back anymore.

"No, is there anyone like you? You call this fair competition?"

Xu Wen lit a cigarette and smiled.

"Who are you? Who wants to compete fairly with you?"

The groomsman's face turned pale, and he couldn't hold back his face all of a sudden.

Outside the hall, the executive boss of a certain company who had just gone out to direct the driver to pick up the car turned back in, ready to say hello before leaving.

As soon as I came in, I saw a group of people, the bride and groom.

"Huh? Xiao Sun, are you here to be the best man today?" The executive manager immediately recognized the best man.

The best man was taken aback, and looked at the middle-aged man who was talking to him.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang?"

The person in front of him is the administrative boss of their unit, and at the same time, the top boss of his department.

Xu Wen looked at Mr. Zhang in front of him, and at the best man not far away.

"Manager Zhang, is this from your company?"

"Mr. Xu, this is an employee under my department." Mr. Zhang didn't see what happened before, thought that Xu Wen was just asking casually, and quickly explained with a smile on his face.

"Oh." Xu Wen nodded without saying anything.

Mr. Zhang began to say goodbye solemnly, and his words were full of compliments and thanks.

Yes, in terms of business relationship, he is considered a customer.

However, in terms of wealth and status, the Xu Dong in front of him is high above him, and he does not know how many orders of magnitude higher than himself.

Naturally, all he had left was to curry favor.

"Okay, let's go slowly." Xu Wen nodded and watched the boss surnamed Zhang leave.

Xu Wen turned around, looked at Ye Qing, and waved again.

Ye Qing looked at the figure in front of her, still so tall and handsome, at this moment, she was smiling slightly at herself.

She took a deep breath, stepped out and walked towards Xu Wen.

"Zhou Siling, how many more can you send off?" Xu Wen made some arrangements, then nodded to the guests at the door, and left with Ye Qing first.

"Ye Qing, are you leaving now?" a bridesmaid couldn't help but say it.

"Sun Xin, that one just now is really the leader of your unit?" The groom looked at his brother and couldn't help asking.

The best man named Sun Xin nodded, his mouth was dry.

Everyone stopped talking.

At the door, the few guests who hadn't left had witnessed the whole process, and they were chatting and laughing as if no one else was around.

"Little young man, don't you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the girl Xu Dong has a crush on, he dares to stand up and say fair competition?"

"What is Dong Xu's identity? His hair is thicker than his waist."

As they spoke, several people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sun Xin lowered his hands, his face flushed.

This feeling of being evaluated by others in front of his face really made him feel embarrassed.

But the point is, he really can't stand up and refute.

These people in front of him are obviously equivalent to his leadership position, not to mention talking about him in front of him, even pointing at his nose, he can't do much.

Who knows if these people are friends with their leaders.

And the man who called Ye Qing away just now...

"Brother Yang, Sister-in-law Yang, I... I'll leave here first." He couldn't stand it any longer, it was really tormenting under such and such gazes.

The groom nodded, hesitated to speak, and finally could only turn into a pat on the shoulder.

"Dude, don't take it to heart. Girls who are too good, most of them already have a home, so be careful."

Sun Xin nodded with a sullen head, and rushed out the door.

At the moment, in a rest area of ​​the hotel.

Xu Wen sat down with Ye Qing.

At the side bar, the service staff with good eyes recognized Xu Wen and hurried forward.

"Xu Dong, what do you need to drink?"

"Oh, no need, Ye Qing, what do you want? Didn't you drink at the bar at night? If you drink alcohol, I'll ask the hotel to prepare some hangover drinks."

Xu Wen looked at Ye Qing who was sitting in front of him.

"Uh, no need, I didn't drink at night." Ye Qing shook her head and smiled politely at the waiter.

"Then two glasses of boiled water!" The waiter Xu Wenchong nodded.

After a while, Ye Qing held a properly heated cup, looked at Xu Wen, and immediately smiled.

"Old classmate, it's the first time I've seen that best man just now, I don't know him at all."

"I know, I still don't understand you, can you fall in love with that kind of person?" Xu Wen smiled indifferently, and glanced at the Cartier blue balloon worn by Ye Qing on his wrist.

This should be the one I gave you in the first place.

Ye Qing lowered her head and smiled, lightly rubbing her white wrist.

"The old classmate, did you ask me to come over?" She smiled a little shyly.

"You said you haven't found a job yet. I happen to have a job here that I want to recommend to you. See if you're interested." Xu Wen said.

Ye Qing was startled, feeling a little lost in her heart.

It turned out that I was thinking too much.

"What kind of job?" She raised her head and smiled slightly, showing no strange emotions.

"Assistant to the chairman, are you interested?" Xu Wen asked.

"Assistant to the chairman? This chairman, could it be..." Ye Qing looked at Xu Wen, and asked without any confirmation.

"It's me." Xu Wen didn't deny it.

"My company in Shanghai is still short of an assistant to the chairman. If you can't find a suitable job for the time being, you can come here."

"Old classmate, are you serious? It's hard for me not to think about you like this." Ye Qing was both happy and angry.

Obviously, she had thought too much.

"It's wrong for you to think so. So many assistants to the chairman's secretary have to think wrongly?" Xu Wen smiled.

"I just want to help you as an old classmate."
