Chapter 134 Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Zhou Xiaoyun's arrival was just a small incident, and Xian Yaowen couldn't allow himself to think too much. Shi Lirong and Situ Zhiren came right after, followed by Grace Victor Sassoon. She actually came alone, not with the other people at HSBC. Together.

Not long after she arrived, several more guests came one after another, and then Michelle and Arthur Morse also came. During the greetings, Michelle gave Xian Yaowen a meaningful look, probably I'm telling Xian Yaowen, I've done everything you asked me to do, and it's up to you next.

At nine forty-five, almost all the guests who had been invited had arrived. Xian Yaowen went through the list, and only two or three people had not arrived yet.

After waiting for three minutes, two more guests arrived, leaving only Sophia on the list.

Xian Yaowen has never found anyone to find out about Sophia. After all, he doesn't know who her husband is. If you are unlucky and the other party comes from the intelligence base, it will really be self-defeating. People can follow the clues and find out directly. Then It's more embarrassing.

But as time went by and the contact deepened, he also learned some clues. Sophia often visited the Fenfield Wharf and 38 Gloucester Road. The former was a wharf dedicated to receiving sailors. It not only received British sailors, but also received American sailors. The fleet visited and docked. The latter is the Navy Building. The entire building is a Navy Club. It is only open to the Navy and is not open to the public. People who can come and go there are closely related to the Navy.

Xian Yaowen boldly guessed that Sophia's husband was a senior member of the squadron stationed in China. It was hard to say how high he was.

After waiting for a while, the time came to 9:54. Just as Xian Yaowen began to count down the one minute in his mind to clear the stall, three cars drove over and stopped far away on the roadside. Two people got out of the first car and looked around. After looking around for safety, he trotted towards the rear door of the middle car.

As the two people arrived, the three doors of the car behind opened at the same time. Three big men got out of the car. They were tall and tall, with sharp eyes. However, after getting out of the car, they just stood there and made no further moves.

Xian Yaowen could easily tell that the two in the front car were professional bodyguards and the three in the back car were elite soldiers. However, they had not received relevant training as bodyguards and had no awareness of protecting important personnel.

"What combination is this?"

Xian Yaowen is a little confused. Soldiers are easy to talk to. He believes that Sophia can easily find a few to support the scene, but what is the matter with two professional bodyguards? Even if Sophia's husband is the top leader of the squadron in China, she is not qualified to have two. One look and you can tell that they are eating bodyguards paid for by taxpayers.

There is no G4 in Hong Kong, and he is not sure which unit the bodyguards who protect important officials belong to. They may also belong to the Political Department.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the answer had already come out of the middle car - the rear doors on both sides opened at the same time, Sophia came out of the left door, and a strange woman came out of the right door. After taking a second look, Xian Yaowen immediately felt that she was no longer a stranger.

"It turns out, Sophia, you are my true friend, Xian Yaowen. You are willing to risk everything and I will let you sleep for three nights."

Xian Yaowen muttered in his heart, adjusted his collar with both hands, and paid attention to the strange woman. He was not familiar with this woman, but he knew that she was an American named Marlene Samson. She was married to a man named Ge and followed her husband. Her surname was named "Ge Mulian" in Chinese, and outsiders liked to call her the Hong Kong Governor's Madam.

"Why does Sophia give me such a big favor?"

Xian Yaowen himself reasoned with the monster and quickly figured out why Sophia invited Ge Mulian here.

First of all, his relationship with Sophia can only be regarded as a casual acquaintance. They hunted together once, had dinner twice, and sat in a bar once. Each time was a group gathering. The two had little private communication and could not talk about it remotely. A close friend and a good friend, Sofia didn't need to be so arrogant to him.

As for the interest relationship, he only briefly mentioned the smuggling business of Tijinji Trading Company to Sophia, but did not mention it in depth. The two of them did not enter into interest negotiations. Sophia was not yet his partner, even though William Chen had some interest in her. It was revealed that she wanted to show off her arms to gain more benefits, and there was no need to throw out the "four twos" right from the start. It was a better rhythm to talk first, then talk, and then talk again.

This road was blocked and there was no way to go further, so Xian Yaowen jumped out and changed his mind and started to think directly from Grantham's point of view. He listed in his mind all the information he knew about Grantham and eliminated them one by one. There is no reference information, and in the end there is only one piece of information that I forgot where I got it from:

When Grantham was the governor of Hong Kong, he was suspected of participating in smuggling activities. Although he was not directly involved, his American wife's bank deposits in Hong Kong were inflated. Although investigators had no evidence to prove that the couple was corrupt and perverted the law, there was something suspicious about it. .

"I understand, I'm looking for a puppet and a scapegoat. In the eyes of others, I have become a puppet and a scapegoat. William Chen is such a fucking bastard. I'm treating you with gall and heart. I'm going to stab you in every possible way, even if you're innocent. I plan to dedicate it to your lover to play with, but you didn’t keep your mouth shut, right? I’m spreading that little shit around.”

After thinking clearly about what was going on inside, Xian Yaowen waved behind him, and Qi Longque immediately came to him.

"Let the pig's nostrils and old vinegar go away."

"Yes."

Qi Longque responded and walked quickly into the factory.

For today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xian Yaowen spent a lot of thought and strived to be the best in all aspects. Even the security did not relax. Not only did he pull over the security guards of the public security guard, but Gu Baozhang and Dong Xiangqian each also took a handful of British troops. Qiqi went to a high place to act as a sniper.

Now that Ge Mulian is here, it will be difficult for the two of them to continue to stay at a high place, as it is easy for them to misunderstand.

As soon as Qi Longque left, Sophia and Ge Mulian came towards Xian Yaowen. When the distance between the two sides was only more than one meter, Xian Yaowen took two small steps forward and put on a respectful posture.

"Adam."

"Sophia." Xian Yaowen responded, saluted the two women with attention, and waited for Sophia to introduce Ge Mulian.

"Adam, this is Ms. Marlene Samson Grantham. According to Chinese custom, you can also call her Ge Mulian; Marlene, this is Yaowen Xian. You can also call her Adam. ·Hepburn."

After Sophia finished the introduction, Ge Mulian cupped her fists and shook them a few times, "Mr. Xian, congratulations on getting rich."

This look, this behavior, coupled with her authentic Beijing movie, no introduction is needed to let people know that she is Hua Guotong.

Xian Yaowen placed his left hand on his right chest and his right hand on the edge of his right trouser pocket. He bowed his upper body fifteen degrees and then returned to an upright position. "Ms. Ge, thank you very much for coming to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of China Garment. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you." Please introduce, this is my wife Pepe Cen, and this is Xingliang Lin, the manager of Zhonghua Garments."

After Ge Mulian shook hands and exchanged greetings with Cen Peipei and Lin Xingliang one by one, Xian Yaowen closed the stall and led Ge Mulian and Sophia to the factory. While walking, he introduced, "Ms. Ge, in Hong Kong, women are at a disadvantage in social activities. The same is true in terms of employment. It is more difficult for women than men to find suitable jobs.

In order to help women find employment, China Garments has always been biased towards women when recruiting. As long as the conditions of the applicants are similar, we will give priority to women. Currently, China Garments has a total of 243 employees, of which the number of female employees is 209 people. "

"Mr. Xian, thank you very much for your efforts for gender equality in Hong Kong society. As you said, women have suffered too much injustice in social activities and they need to be treated kindly."

The plainness in Ge Mulian's tone made Xian Yaowen realize that she was not interested in the topic of gender equality. He did not continue to dig into this topic. Instead, he introduced the buildings in the factory area, including the workshop building in one sentence, focusing on the topic. Canteens and nurseries, and raised the topic to people's livelihood. Sure enough, the two of them talked about the topic of Ge Mulian eating.

On the other side, in front of the ribbon-cutting ceremony stage set up in an open space in the factory, guests held champagne glasses and stood together in twos and threes chatting, while waiters shuttled between the guests holding trays.

While Michelle was dealing with Zhou Xiaoyun who was talking to her, she glanced around and observed the guests, analyzing which guests had nothing to do with "HSBC" and were Xian Yaowen's own connections.

This is her job as an HSBC executive, and she also has her own plans.

The same is true for Zhou Xiaoyun. In addition to socializing with "HSBC", he is also observing the guests. He has many friends and many roads, and few enemies and few walls to block. If unnecessary, he does not like to make enemies easily with others. Xian Yaowen has shown a rising trend. The appearance of a rising star in the business world is a very good partner to whom you can send goodwill signals.

"Yuowen managed the scene well." Luo Yingshi said to Hong Yingdong: "Who would have thought that he would develop so fast. When he first came to Hong Kong, he went to buy a house from me and couldn't even get 100,000 yuan. You still have to show off your knowledge and use tricks to get me to agree to deferred payment. Looking at it now, it’s really amazing.”

"Brother Xian is a well-educated man. He is well versed in the general trend of the world, but also has a good understanding of the subtleties. He has a good temper, has no airs, and can talk to anyone. It is difficult for him to even think about being prosperous." Hong Yingdong praised sincerely.

"Yeah, it's difficult not to say anything." Luo Yingshi sighed with emotion, stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, "Yingdong, look at the female worker wearing a ribbon. It says female worker representative on the ribbon. You said this representative is to do What?"

Hong Yingdong looked in the direction pointed by Luo Yingshi's finger and thought for a moment, "Will you go on stage to cut the ribbon later?"

"I guess so. Yaowen did a good job. It's really good. On such an important occasion, the female workers came to the stage to cut the ribbon, and their hearts were still tightly grasped by him."

Liao Guiying, the female worker representative whom the two men were referring to, had her heart pounding at this time. She was very nervous. This feeling of nervousness started after she was elected as the female worker representative the day before yesterday and knew that she would go on stage to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

On such an important occasion today, there were so many distinguished guests, and she, an illiterate female worker, was going to go on stage. How could she not be nervous? Not only was her heart beating out of her chest, but her legs were shaking uncontrollably. Even though I had just gone to the toilet, I could still feel the obvious need to pee.

Stretching through Liao Guiying towards the workshop building, the female workers stood in the open space according to their teams, or stood in the corridor of the workshop building, bustling and bustling, looking at the guests and chatting.

They had been informed early that the lunch after the ribbon-cutting ceremony would have improved food. There would be eight dishes, six meat and two vegetarian dishes. Not only could they eat as much as they wanted, but each person could also take a large portion home. Early in the morning, everyone Just send your enamel basin to the cafeteria and pick it up after you finish eating.

Most of the female workers have working experience before. They have their own comparisons in their minds about how their current employer treats them. Everyone has an account in their mind. Most of them know how to compare favors and reciprocate favors. Some people attribute good treatment to A few people felt at ease about their own luck, and even called Xian Yaowen a fool, secretly muttering to themselves that if the boss acted like this, the factory would be closed sooner or later.

In the factory area, there are thousands of people, noisy, noisy, and whispering.

All the noise stopped when Xian Yaowen and his party appeared. The guests stopped any movement and paid attention to Ge Mulian.

"Why is she here?"

"Xian Yaowen can actually invite her here?"

Shock and surprise filled the hearts of every guest.

Xian Yaowen invited Ge Mulian and Sophia to the stage, then whispered a few words in Cen Peipei's ear, and then walked off the stage in shock, leaving the stage to her.

There was no time to calm down, so Cen Peipei encouraged herself, signaled to Ge Mulian and Sophia, and then took small steps to the microphone in the center of the stage.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony of Zhonghua Garments..."

When Cen Peipei was speaking, Xian Yaowen had already arrived in front of Lin Xingliang and whispered "Plan No. 2" in his ear. The latter nodded and immediately went to prepare.

Before today, Xian Yaowen had already calculated which guests would be invited to the stage to cut the ribbon. If it was inappropriate to select based on identity, his established plan was to only invite female guests to the stage, with priority given to ladies, so no one could find fault.

The original plan No. 1 was for Lin Xingliang to stand in the C position, and he stood next to Lin Xingliang. Plan No. 2 was that neither he nor Lin Xingliang would go on stage, and Cen Peipei would represent him. The stage was full of women. Ge Mulian was here, so obviously No. 2 plan is more suitable.

"I would like to invite Ms. Ge Mulian, Ms. Sophia Li, Ms. Grace Victor Sassoon, Ms. Michelle Morgan, Ms. Liao Guiying, and Ms. Fei Baoshu to come to the stage."

As Cen Peipei called her name, Grace nodded to Xian Yaowen and then walked towards the stage.

Xian Yaowen had already greeted Sophia and Michelle in advance. Only Grace, who he was not sure whether they would come to attend, had not said hello in advance and had only informed them just now.

A group of women's soldiers came on stage, and there was no need to be modest. They lined up in a row with a tacit understanding, guarding Cen Peipei and Ge Mulian in the center. As they stood still, the female movie star etiquette lady invited by Xian Yaowen came out of the workshop building on the side. , everyone is holding a tray decorated with red cloth.

As soon as the female star appeared on the stage, whispers started everywhere.

"Yaowen is really generous."

"Xian Yaowen is quite willing to spend money..."

"It's so novel. The host doesn't go on stage himself, but lets a bunch of girls cut the ribbon."

Xian Yaowen remained motionless, looking at the camera in the hand of the reporter in front of the stage. He believed that there was no need to remind the reporter, as the reporter would naturally know to point the camera at Ge Mulian and Cen Peipei.

His eyes stayed for a while and then turned to the side of the stage. Lin Xingliang stood there, waiting for the ribbon-cutting to end and appear on stage. Everything was going according to the pre-planned plan, nothing went wrong, and his heart dropped by half.

　There is another chapter in the morning.
