Chapter 171 This shop belongs to my uncle
In the afternoon, we visited the completed airport according to the procedure.
Because it has not yet officially started operation, the airport is more like an empty city on display to everyone.
Walking and stopping.
Zhang Chi and his group came to the commercial area that belonged to him.
It covers a total area of 3000 square meters, just ten meters away from the exit. It has a good location, but it is only suitable for running a car rental business.
Zhang Chi looked at Wu Shufa curiously.
Wu Shufa chuckled and motioned for him to go into the shop and take a look.
When everyone entered the store, they found that there were four separate shop doors inside.
Pushing open the glass door, it was connected to the boarding hall, and opposite was boarding gates 1-6.
Qian Xin and others couldn't help but sigh: "This location is great. We also had our eyes on this location at the beginning, but unfortunately the area is too large and our company can't take it."
Zhang Chi heard this and chuckled.
At this time, sisters Fang Hua and Fang Fang had already immersed themselves in their work, taking photos and videos with their mobile phones.
Zhang Chi saw this and asked Wu Shufa, "Manager Wu, is the airport opening date confirmed to be May Day next year?"
Wu Shufa nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes, we can't delay it any longer. Originally, the higher-ups had scheduled it for January 1, New Year's Day, so that we could catch up with the peak period of the Spring Festival this year. Unfortunately, the establishment and operation of an airport is not as simple as everyone thinks. We also tried our best to confirm the opening date of May 1 next year."
Zhang Chi nodded thoughtfully.
If it were May Day next year, I would probably miss this grand ceremony.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, he should participate in the competition in France on May Day next year.
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little uneasy about entrusting such an important matter to Gangzi.
It’s not that I don’t trust Ganzi’s character, but I’m worried that his current abilities don’t allow him to be promoted to such an important job.
Think about it.
Zhang Chi thought of Shen Feifei, but wondered if she could help out in her busy schedule. If not, he could use her connections to hire a professional manager.
After the visit.
Zhang Chi watched Wu Shufa and others leave.
I also chatted with sisters Fang Hua and Fang Fang for a while about the planning and construction of the exhibition hall.
Zhang Chi had no objection, as long as it was similar to the garage at the racetrack.
As for the decoration style, don't even think about it. Airports have a unified plan and you can't be different just because you want to.
This also saved Fang Hua a lot of trouble. Since the decoration style was already unified, she could only give more suggestions on small details and try her best to demonstrate her professional ability.
After chatting for a while, it gradually darkened.
Zhang Chi gestured to the two girls to find a place to eat and chat.
Faced with the invitation from the God of Wealth, the two girls naturally had no objection and immediately contacted a local private restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine.
I just didn’t expect my luck to be so bad. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw Qi Hai and his sister.
When Manager Wang saw Zhang Chi, he greeted him warmly.
"Xiao, Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you still remember me?"
Manager Wang’s full name is Wang Qiang. He was previously in charge of administrative and legal affairs at Shenzhou Car Rental.
Zhang Chi wrote more than ten letters to Wang Qiang about his colleagues deliberately damaging spare parts, but all of them fell on deaf ears.
Therefore, Zhang Chi didn't know anyone in the head office, but he was impressed by Wang Qiang.
Because it was this bastard who made a big fuss at the annual meeting, saying that if you encounter any illegal or disorderly activities, you must report them to him immediately.
This not only serves the customers, but also saves the company and nips illegal and disorderly behavior in the bud.
The result is that those who broke the law are still at large, but he, a law-abiding person, was fired.
Think of these things.
Zhang Chi just felt that he was too young at that time and how could he easily believe Wang Qiang's words.
I don’t know what Wang Qiang felt when he saw his letter of complaint. He might have just thrown it into the trash without even looking at it.
At this time, facing Wang Qiang's flattering expression.
Zhang Chi just felt extremely disgusted.
"Oh, it's Manager Wang, hello."
Wang Qiang gave a dry laugh. Facing Zhang Chi's indifferent tone, he knew that his behavior at the time was somewhat chilling.
However, he is just a worker and he does whatever his boss says.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well.
The company had received complaints from customers, but he cleverly avoided them by exploiting legal loopholes.
He initially hated the company's illegal operations and shameful behavior of defrauding customers, but later he simply turned a blind eye to it.
When he first saw the letter of complaint written by Zhang Chi, he was somewhat touched.
But later, as his boss paid him higher and higher salaries, he lost his way.
So much so that later, whenever he saw something like a letter of denunciation, he would not even look at it for a second and would just throw it into the trash can.
Wang Qiang himself didn't know when he completely forgot the oath he took in his first law class in college.
"I voluntarily devote myself to the cause of politics and law, love the motherland and be loyal to the people, be strict with myself, respect teachers and abide by discipline, study hard, seek truth and innovation, unite and help each other for all-round development..."
Wang Qiang felt a little ashamed when he thought about it. He was the one who failed to abide by the law and be strict with himself.
But on the contrary, it is like this, allowing him to have money to buy a house and a car, and even money to support a girlfriend outside. Tell me, isn't this ironic?
"Uh, um, Mr. Zhang is also here to eat, what a coincidence, how about we go together?"
Zhang Chi decisively waved his hand and said, "No need, we are not actually familiar with each other."
Wang Qiang wanted to say something else.
Zhang Chi walked straight past him and towards the box reserved by Fang Hua.
When passing by Qi Hai and his sister, Qi Hai had a nonchalant expression, but Qi Yue seemed to be confused.
Zhang Chi was too lazy to pay attention to her.
The three of them entered the box one after another.
Qi Yue transferred her dissatisfaction to the waiter.
"Hey, didn't you say the box was full?"
The waiter glanced at her and said with a faint smile, "It is indeed full. You should please come in."
"What do you mean, are you trying to get us out? I'll file a complaint against you!"
Qi Yue felt a little embarrassed, feeling that today was really screwed. Why did he keep encountering so many bad things?
The waiter wasn't afraid of her. He pointed to the notice board on the wall and said, "I'm sorry, the ingredients in our store are all airlifted in that day, and the quantity is limited. Mr. Fang has just ordered the last portion of ingredients. Even if you guys want to eat it, we can't make it."
Qi Yue: "..."
After all, she often goes to such private restaurants, so she knew that she had hit a wall today. The other party was just so confident.
Even if she took the case to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, there would be nothing she could do. Any boss who could afford to open a private restaurant like this must have some connections and networks.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the people who come to eat, they all have some wealth.
Ordinary people have to wait in line for at least two months.
Rich people come in and eat right away, that's the reality.
As for outsiders like them who have no connections and act like big shots, they are too lazy to receive them. "Humph, I'm so pissed!"
Qi Yue glared at the employee who brought them here, and walked out of the restaurant angrily.
Qi Hai and others also felt embarrassed, but they did not dare to cause trouble on other people's territory, so they could only leave in shame.
Inside the box.
Zhang Chi listened for a while and smiled.
Fang Hua also smiled.
Only Fang Fang laughed and said, "Well, I'll help you vent your anger. This shop is owned by my uncle."
·
"Brother, are we just going to let it go?"
"if not?"
Qi Hai glared at his sister unhappily. If she hadn't been angry with Zhang Chi today, maybe he could have gotten to know Ye Hongguang through Zhang Chi.
As long as he has Ye Hongguang's help, is he afraid that he won't be able to take over the factory near the airport?
Yes, Qi Hai met competitors, and several car rental companies also set their sights on the factory he wanted.
And with their size, the chances of competing with those people are slim...
At this time, Wang Qiang said, "Boss Qi, how about we wait here and have a good chat with Zhang Chi later?"
Qi Hai was startled when he heard this.
He glanced around and then at the time.
It was almost eight o'clock and he hadn't eaten yet. He felt that it would be humiliating and unnecessary to wait here.
Even if there was no way through Zhang Chi, he could still get to know Ye Hongguang through other channels.
Therefore, he shook his head decisively and said, "No need. Even if he knows Ye Hongguang, he is probably just a small role in Ye Hongguang's eyes."
Qi Yue also agreed and said, "My brother is right. What's so great about a lousy car mechanic?"
Wang Qiang was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to describe this strange pair of brother and sister.
He realized that he had made a stupid decision. He shouldn't have told his boss that he was a native of Haisha, and he shouldn't have accepted this overseas job.
·
The next day.
The entrance of Xiasha Village.
Because it was the weekend, many tourists came in groups to play.
Now the most popular entertainment activity in the entire Haisha student circle is the beach buggy competition.
Zhang Chi even saw several group owners spontaneously organizing internal competitions.
What is even more enviable is that there is also a competition mode for male and female teams, where you can watch those energetic young men and beautiful girls galloping across the battlefield.
Some bachelors in the village shed tears of envy and jealousy.
"Chizi."
"Oh, village chief, what's the matter?"
Zhang Chi had just handed a dune buggy to a customer when he heard the voice of the old village chief.
Looking back, I saw the old village chief leading a child from the village towards me. The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old. She looked very cute, but her skin was a little dark.
"Chizi, do you have any impression of this girl?"
Zhang Chi nodded, frowned, and said, "Village Chief, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I'm busy now."
In fact, Zhang Chi roughly knew what the old village chief was thinking without him saying anything.
Because he was no stranger to this little girl.
They are one of the more pitiful families in the village. Their father died in a shipwreck when they went out to sea in their early years, their mother also died soon after due to illness, their grandparents are both gone, and they live with their only aunt.
But some time ago, her aunt ran off with a man from another place, leaving her alone. When she returned home from school, she realized that she had been abandoned after all.
The little girl was tough and didn't tell anyone about this.
Someone asked: Why haven't you seen her aunt for so many days? She stubbornly said that her aunt went to work in another place.
Until two days ago, when Long Xiaoyun was in class, he found that her face was blue and her lips were purple. He took her to the health center for a check-up and found out that this girl had been eating grass roots for seven or eight days in a row.
Long Xiaoyun ran to her house to check, and burst into tears when she saw what she saw.
The little girl had nothing at home. Her aunt took away everything that could be moved and left her with only a few worn-out clothes.
There was not even any salt in the kitchen, let alone rice, flour, grain and oil.
In other words, she had started eating wild vegetables and grass roots since her aunt left.
If Long Xiaoyun hadn't discovered it early, this girl might have kept it a secret from everyone for a few more days until she accidentally ate poisonous grass roots and became seriously poisoned and fell ill.
That day, Long Xiaoyun took her to the county to have her gastric lavage done, and also wanted to take her home to take care of her.
But the little girl refused to go and said she wanted to stay at home and wait for her aunt to come back.
There was no other way, Long Xiaoyun could only move a lot of food into her home.
But what no one expected was...
This girl seemed to be born stubborn. Not only did she refuse to touch or eat the food that Long Xiaoyun gave her, she also secretly ate grass roots and wild vegetables.
After the old village chief found out, he pulled her aside and questioned her for a long time.
Only then did I realize that this girl had too strong a self-esteem and was unwilling to accept favors from others because she was afraid that she could not repay them.
The old village chief was amazed that the boy could express his gratitude at such a young age.
Finally, they came up with a solution, which was to let her work to support herself.
The little girl thought about it and agreed decisively.
She felt that it was not shameful to support herself with the income from her own labor, and she would not owe anyone a favor.
Little did she know that she didn't owe anyone a favor, but the old village chief did owe her a beating.
Zhang Chi looked at the underage girl helplessly and wondered how he could have the nerve to use child labor?
Think about it.
In the end, he threw her to Long Jianchuan across the street and asked her to help in the store with the kid Long Ji.
As for revenge, it means three meals a day and a salary of 500 yuan a month.
"What, she still gets paid?"
When Long Ji heard the conversation between his father and Zhang Chi, he immediately refused to listen.
"Dad, why, why does Long Baobao get a salary but I don't?"
Oh, the little girl is called Longbao. People in the village are used to calling her “Baby”.
Hearing this, Long Bao looked at Zhang Chi guiltily.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi signaled her not to worry about Long Ji, and then said to Long Jianchuan: "Uncle Jianchuan, just do as I say, and keep an eye on this girl in the future."
Long Jianchuan knew what Zhang Chi meant, because the 500 yuan salary was paid by Zhang Chi, and he was responsible for preparing three meals a day for the child.
In fact, Zhang Chi also included these three meals a day in his employee meals.
All in all, Long Jianchuan got free labor and was very happy.
So, when he saw Longji making a fuss, he slapped Longji on the back of the head without saying a word.
"Get lost! If you work half as hard as I do, I'll still pay you!"
Long Ji got used to it after being hit, and shouted in surprise: "That's what you said, if you don't pay me, I will tell my mom that you hid 3200 yuan in the bathroom."
Long Jianchuan: “…”
