Counterattack 1988

When Wang Lin and the others walked into the gate of Shencheng Hotel, they felt like coming home instantly.

For the people of Shencheng, staying in Shencheng Hotel is truly a home away from home when traveling to Shencheng.

The customers served by Shencheng Hotel in the initial stage of opening are mainly Shencheng people who come to Shencheng.

The exterior of the hotel refers to the architectural design of old Shanghai, and the interior design elements such as porch, glass printing, and murals also follow the Shanghai style.

The lobby floor marble and wall tiles are imported from Italy.The hotel's air conditioners, color TVs, and refrigerators are all imported from Japan.The hotel waiters are all from Shanghai. They wear double-breasted clothes and speak Wu Nong's soft language, showing the charm and sentiment of old Shanghai.

Zhang Xiaowan smiled sweetly, "It's so kind here!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It seems like you're back in Shencheng?"

Zhang Xiaowan smiled and said: "Yes! This is a good place. When I was taking care of Sister Lin in Shencheng, I heard about it, but I never came here."

Li Jiaxin and Zhou Xiaomin were also attracted by the bustling flowers here.

"The business of this store is so good?" Li Jiaxin said, "There is a lot of traffic with guests coming and going."

Indeed, the past few years have been the most prosperous time for Shencheng Hotel.

When the hotel was first built, it suffered an annual loss of 200 million yuan, but it gradually improved. By 1995, the annual profit had exceeded 147 million yuan.You know, this is just a hotel with only [-] rooms. It is very rare to be able to achieve this performance, and it is full almost every day.

There is a Chinese restaurant on the left and a Western restaurant on the right.

The Chinese restaurant offers authentic Shanghai dishes.

Wang Lin and the others came by coincidence, there was just the last table left.

They didn't have to choose, and they sat down directly.

The restaurant is full of native dialect accents, which sound extraordinarily friendly in a foreign land.

Li Jiaxin said: "There are a lot of people from Shencheng here on business trips?"

Wang Lindao: "When the reform was first started, the people of Shencheng started to go to Lingnan to buy goods in Shencheng, Huacheng and other places, and took them back to Shencheng to sell. I still remember that in 88, a pair of shoes cost 5 yuan. , roadside stalls can sell it for more than 35 yuan."

Li Jiaxin said: "30 yuan for a pair of shoes! That's not too much!"

Wang Lindao: "You have to look at the salary at that time. I was in the Shenfang Factory and my salary was only 200 yuan. That was the profit from selling seven pairs of shoes. As long as I sold seven pairs of shoes in a month, it was better than working in a factory. Already!"

Li Jiaxin said: "That's a good business!"

Wang Lindao: "In those few years, it was really the golden age of self-employment. You don't need to be smart, and you don't need to work hard. As long as you are willing to move, you will go to Huacheng twice a month. You can buy any goods and sell them back. You can make money. Someone who only sells glass stockings can earn thousands of dollars a month, which is equivalent to a worker’s salary for a year.”

Li Jiaxin said: "No wonder I heard that there is a sea tide in the mainland. Many people are dishonest and want to go to sea to do business. It turns out that it is so profitable! If it were me, I would go to sea too."

Zhang Xiaowan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, women going to sea and men going to sea have different meanings!"

Li Jiaxin came to her senses, pointed at her and smiled, "You are the only one who is weird!"

Zhang Xiaowan giggled and said, "If a beautiful woman like Mr. Li goes into the sea, wouldn't she be able to fascinate all the men in the world?"

Li Jiaxin gave her a blank look, and said to Wang Lin: "Take care of your secretary! Just make fun of me!"

Wang Lindao: "Xiaowan knows you can take a joke, so I chat with you."

Zhou Xiaomin said: "You mean, I can't take a joke? Or do you mean that I don't even have the right to be joked by you?"

Wang Lindao: "Xiao Min, if you have to think this way, then there is no need."

Zhou Xiaomin grinned, "I'm joking with you, but you're still angry? Don't tell me you can't take a joke?"

Several people laughed.

There were three beauties at their table at the same time, which inevitably attracted other people's attention.

Everyone has a love for beauty, not only men, but even women, when they see top beauties like Li Jiaxin and Zhou Xiaomin, they can't help but pay attention to them frequently.

Wang Lin heard someone commenting more than once: "The woman over there is so beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful woman? There are only three!"

At the beginning, no one recognized Li and Zhou Zhou, even if they saw beautiful women, they just took a sneaky look.

After a while, someone screamed: "Isn't that Zhou Xiaomin?"

Someone shouted again: "That woman is Li Jiaxin!"

Someone asked puzzledly: "Who is Li Jiaxin? What do you do?"

"Miss Hong Kong! You don't even know her? I've been eating for nothing for 30 years!"

"Really? Miss Hong Kong? Where is it? Let me see! My God, that woman is so beautiful, and the one next to her is even more beautiful!"

……

Those who were brave enough ran forward, holding paper and pens, or holding a camera, hoping to get Li and Zhou Zhou to sign or take a group photo.

Li Jiaxin deliberately let down her full head of hair, covering most of her face, just to prevent people from recognizing her and causing unnecessary trouble.

But the natural beauty is hard to give up, she is a dazzling light wherever she goes, so eye-catching.

"I'm sorry, you misidentified the person, I'm not the person you said." Li Jiaxin shook her hand lightly and refused.

Zhou Xiaomin also imitated the example, saying that you have admitted the wrong person.

Those movie fans were very disappointed, but they couldn't continue to disturb them, so they left one after another.

Zhang Xiaowan said: "You two are already celebrities, what's the matter with signing an autograph for them and taking a photo together? Don't be so petty! If I chase your stars and you reject them, then I will be very sad."

Li Jiaxin said: "I don't care, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on the young master. If someone with a heart takes a picture of us eating with the young master, they will add fuel to the publicity. That's how some gossips come about. They come out of nothing."

Zhang Xiaowan said, "That's right! Brother Wang Lin is a national treasure we protect!"

Wang Lin smiled and knocked her on the head: "You're the one who talks too much!"

Shencheng Hotel is a window showing the characteristics of Shencheng. The dishes here are very authentic and delicious.

While eating, Wang Lin said, "This is even more authentic than the local food in Shencheng!"

Zhou Xiaomin ate like a lady, handled it gently, chewed slowly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "It's delicious!"

Wang Lin pointed to a dish and said, "This eight-treasure duck is still not as good as Wenxiu's."

Zhou Xiaomin said, "Is Madam good at cooking?"

Wang Lindao: "Yes, she is a woman who takes care of the family. Even if she has her own business, she can take care of the family well. Not to mention breakfast, she will cook lunch and dinner with the servants. I love her dishes the most. gone."

Zhou Xiaomin said: "Then, she must be the favorite in your life, right?"

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Of course."

Zhang Xiaowan said: "Brother Wang Lin is really a model husband! So good at making money, but also so good at loving his wife! I am so envious of Sister Wenxiu!"

Li Jiaxin, who was next to her, twisted her body unnaturally, changed her sitting position, and coughed twice: "Eat quickly! If the food is cold, the taste will not be good."

It was only then that Wang Lin realized that talking about or even praising his original partner in front of his lover was simply looking for a quarrel!
Li Jiaxin was sullen, pouted from time to time, obviously very concerned about what Wang Lin said just now.

In front of others, Wang Lin couldn't coax her well, so he had to let her get angry.

After eating for a while, Zhang Xiaowan said with a smile: "Brother, I just heard from them that there is a night Shanghai dance hall upstairs, is it as fun as Paramount?"

Wang Lindao: "I haven't been there either, I don't know if it's fun or not, but the dance halls are pretty much the same."

Zhang Xiaowan said: "Then let's go and have a look, shall we?"

Wang Lin consulted Li and Zhou Zhou for their opinions.

Zhou Xiaomin was in a bad mood and just wanted to relax, so he agreed to go.

Li Jiaxin had nothing to do, and agreed.

A group of people took the elevator to the tenth floor.

The Night Shanghai Song and Dance Hall on the tenth floor was a well-known entertainment and leisure place at that time.

In the mid-to-late 90s, the domestic entertainment industry flourished. Various nightclubs, dance halls, entertainment cities, and leisure venues sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloomed.

The most outstanding among them is this Ye Shanghai, which is so famous that even the people of Xiangjiang will come here for consumption.

The waiters here are all from Shanghai, and Miss Wu is from all over the country.

The neon lights are flickering, and the aroma of wine, balm, and powder enters the nostrils.

Wang Lin and the others found a corner seat and ordered fruit plates and drinks.

Zhou Xiaomin poured a glass of red wine for everyone, and said, "I didn't drink during the meal just now. The atmosphere is just right now. You must accompany me to have a drink or two."

Wang Lin smiled and clinked glasses with her, then drank it down.

Li Jiaxin was not in a high mood, she rested her cheeks in her hands and said nothing, and looked at the men and women in the bright and dark lights with blurred eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhou Xiaomin said: "Wang Dong, I invite you to dance!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Okay!"

Zhang Xiaowan said to Li Jiaxin: "Mr. Li, shall we dance together?"

Li Jiaxin said: "What are the two women dancing? I don't want to dance, you can find someone else to dance."

Zhang Xiaowan said: "Then I won't dance anymore. Mr. Li, is there something wrong with you?"

Li Jiaxin smiled and said: "No! It's just that I didn't rest well."

Wang Lin and Zhou Xiaomin entered the dance floor, hooked their shoulders and danced slowly to the sound of the music.

"Do you like the mainland?" Wang Lin asked.

Zhou Xiaomin said: "I like it! The mainland is huge, with unique and changeable climate and scenery, which is much more fun than a tiny place."

Wang Lindao: "Are you willing to let you settle in the mainland?"

Zhou Xiaominfang's heart beat wildly: "Wang Dong, you want me to live in the mainland? Do you want me to be like Tang Yan? Be your lover?"

Wang Lin almost choked to death without her words!

"Is there anyone who speaks so bluntly like you?" Wang Lindao, "I never said that I want you to be my lover!"

Zhou Xiaomin said, "Oh!"

Wang Lindao: "Look at what you just said, do you want to?"

Zhou Xiaomin's reflex arc was a bit long, and he asked in a daze, "What would I like to do? Come to the mainland? It's not impossible! If there is a career and a lover here, I'm willing to follow him."

"..."

Wang Lin glanced and saw a middle-aged man approaching Li Jiaxin.

The man first stood and talked, and then sat down at their table, talking and laughing happily.

Zhou Xiaomin laughed and said, "Someone is fishing for you! Are you still going?"

Wang Lin said: "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Xiaomin curled her lips: "You pretend I don't know? Jiaxin is yours just like Tang Yan."

Wang Lindao: "You are also mine!"

Zhou Xiaomin said: "That's different, I don't have your mark on me!"

Wang Lin smiled narrowly, then leaned over his head suddenly, and put a kiss on her delicate and fair face: "You also have my mark!"
