Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 300 Top Conference Room!
Du Xiaojing admired Xu Jichang's courage: "Okay, I'll help you ask him tomorrow morning."

"You'd better come with me."

Xu Ji often saw his wife readily agree, and felt a sense of accomplishment like nothing else in marrying a wife.

A virtuous wife, truly a virtuous wife.

……

The next morning, Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing rushed to the city guest house with gifts.

Of course, before setting off, they called the guest house and set off after getting a promise from the other party that they would send someone to receive them.

The city guest house that the two went to was a property of the bureaucratic capitalists received after liberation. It had several five-story buildings connected together. The exterior was made of stone and looked quite impressive.

The receptionist was the deputy manager of the guest house. He used to be Du Lao's guard squad leader and watched Du Xiaojing grow up.

Seeing the other party leading people waiting in front of the gate, Du Xiaojing waved and said hello from a distance: "Hello, Uncle Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Deputy Manager Chen is a tall man, with a military demeanor in his movements, but his voice is gentle, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.

After Xu Jichang pulled off a coat, Deputy Manager Chen leaned forward slightly and spoke politely: "Jichang, Xiaojing, didn't you say you want to book a conference room? Let me introduce it to you."

The floor of the guest house is paved with printed tiles, which are very rare nowadays. Occasionally visible traces on the brick surface remind visitors that this place has been there for some time.

Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing also quickened their pace and shook hands with Deputy Manager Chen.

"No matter where you are. Xiao Jing is the daughter of my old chief, so everything is as it should be."

"Hello Ji Chang, may I ask your surname?"

During the exchange of greetings, Xu Jichang, Du Xiaojing and Deputy Manager Chen walked into the lobby of the guest house.

"This is my lover, just call him Ji Chang."

Deputy Manager Chen's office is about 40 square meters, with a red carpet on the floor and a Soviet-style chandelier on the ceiling. It looks a bit old.

"The biggest thing is, the usage fee for that day is 100 yuan."

The two identities of a veteran and a hostel leader were perfectly combined in him.

The entire office was decorated in an old and gorgeous style, and the heating in the room was very strong, making Xu Jichang feel warm all over.

Deputy Manager Chen trotted forward enthusiastically: "Xiao Jing, I haven't seen you for many years and you have grown so big."

Xu Jichang also knew it very well and never mentioned it when he entered the lobby and went upstairs.

"This is the specific room form, you can take a look."

Deputy Manager Chen paused when he said this, "Are you sure Ji Changqian needs to use such a large venue?"

"The conference rooms in the guest house are divided into 4 types, which are used for meetings of large delegations and small and medium-sized delegations."

"My surname is Xu. Thank you, Manager Chen, for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet us."

Considering that Du Xiaojing personally called him, Deputy Manager Chen guessed that today's matter was a bit special, so he did not mention today's business to Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing when he was outside. Instead, he entered the office, poured tea and prepared After enjoying the snack, I asked.

After speaking, Deputy Manager Chen walked to the desk, opened the drawer and found a piece of hard plastic paper as white as snow, returned to the coffee table, and presented it to Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing.

Xu Jichang looked at the four conference room specifications above and made a decisive decision: "Brother Chen, I want the biggest one."

Xu Jichang knew that he was a kind reminder, but he had his own considerations: "Well, just use the largest conference room."

"And Brother Chen, I have a special situation that I need to tell you."

"Several of the guests I have to entertain are foreign guests."

Deputy Manager Chen unconsciously put his hands on the coffee table and frowned: "Foreign guests? According to regulations, we must report to the foreign affairs department and receive approval before we can receive them."

"Can you be accommodating? Is that okay? I'm very pressed for time here, and waiting for approval will delay things."

Xu Jichang said sincerely.

These days, it is difficult to see foreigners on the streets. Generally, business establishments are required to report before entertaining them. Xu Jichang must inform Deputy Manager Chen of this special situation.

If Deputy Manager Chen is unwilling to accommodate, Xu Jichang can think of another way.

Deputy Manager Chen forced a smile and lowered his head to avoid the gazes of Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing.

Xu Jichang understood that this matter was difficult for him to handle, so he didn't press any further, just waiting for his answer.

Du Xiaojing also didn't expect that Xu Jichang's guests would include foreign guests. But now that the matter has come to this, she doesn't show any surprise. What stands out is that she adapts to circumstances.

Beside the two of them, Manager Chen thought for a while, and finally asked Xu Jichang a question: "Are those foreign guests you want to entertain? Will they spend the night in our guest house?"

"No, only meetings, no overnight stays. And they are all Chinese, and they are no different from us in appearance and language."

"Oh? Then let me think about it..."

When Deputy Manager Chen was told this by Xu Jichang, he felt as if he couldn't be flexible.

"Okay, I'll arrange a big conference room for you tomorrow."

Deputy Manager Chen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

Xu Jichang took out two Chinese cigarettes from his bag and said, "Brother Chen, take them back."

"Tell me if it's not enough."

Deputy Manager Chen raised his hand to block it: "No, I grew up under the old man..."

"Two cigarettes, what's there?"

Xu Jichang insisted on putting the cigarette into his hand, "Whatever happens later, I have to trouble you."

Deputy Manager Chen had no choice but to put away the cigarette and thought seriously: "There shouldn't be any trouble."

"Our hotel has experience in hosting foreign guests, so there will be nothing wrong with it."

"That's really the best thing."

Xu Jichang said.

After booking a hotel, Xu Jichang first notified Li Chengjie, then asked Gao Qianjin for his contact information at the Beijing Rubber Company, and told them the meeting address.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jichang felt that time was in a hurry.

There will be a meeting tomorrow, and we only announced it today. In future generations, this business may be ruined.

It can only be said that in the current era, everything is started from scratch, and people are not as demanding on various details, unlike later generations.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jichang set off from home early and rode his bicycle to the city guest house.

The security guard at the door of the guest house was greeted in advance by Deputy Manager Chen, and Xu Jichang was let in without even asking a question.

Xu Jichang went to the largest conference room on the top floor of the guest house according to the location he had set yesterday.

The conference room is located in the middle of the top floor, with the headlights turned off.

Xu Jichang turned on all the lights, wanting to give his guests a magnificent impression.

In less than three minutes, a waiter came over and said, "Hello, comrade, please save electricity."

Xu Jichang was a little unhappy, thinking that the event hadn't started yet, so couldn't he turn on the lights?

But then I thought about it, electricity is really tight these days, and the waiters are doing things according to the requirements of their superiors.

So Xu Jichang turned off most of the lights except two.
