Chapter 489 Two and three things in Hengdian (two in one)
Noon, Hilton Hotel.
"Brother Chao, you said we drove to Hengdian after dinner?" Jiang Li asked about the next arrangement while cutting the steak.
After Zhou Chao swallowed the beef in his mouth, he said: "Well, the things here in Hangzhou have basically been arranged, and the rest will be handled by Qin Ziwei. I believe she will not let me down." .”
"That's fine, anyway, there aren't many things to visit in Hangzhou." For Jiang Li, the West Lake is probably the most attractive thing in Hangzhou, and he doesn't have much interest in other things.
"I don't know what's interesting in Hengdian. We can only look for it when the time comes."
Hengdian Zhou Chao has only heard about it, and has never been there in person. Compared with Xiangshan Film and Television City, it is nothing more than a larger area, a larger scale of filming, and more group performances.
After finishing their lunch, the two went back to the room to clean up briefly, took their luggage and drove the BMW X7 arranged by the hotel to Hengdian. The main reason is that the distance from Hangzhou to Hengdian is not short, about 150 kilometers. It is not very comfortable to drive a Rolls Royce, not as exciting as an SUV.
Except for the hotel, we went straight to the police station, and the road was unimpeded. By the time the two arrived at Hengdian Film and Television City, it was already 2:20 in the afternoon. Jiang Li had already fallen asleep on the passenger seat, and Zhou Chao had to Lament how sleepy pregnant women are.
Zhou Chao found a temporary parking space and was going to arrange the place to live. Jiang Li, the co-driver, woke up just after parking the car.
Looked around for a while with slightly blurred eyes, then turned to look at Zhou Chao and asked, "Brother Chao, have we arrived in Hengdian yet?"
"Well, I just arrived, and I'm going to find a place to live." Zhou Chao picked up his phone and started searching.
"Brother Chao, I know a place. I saw it on the Internet before. It is a homestay in the film and television city. It has an ancient style, and the homestay is adjacent to the Hengdian Night Tour Scenic Spot. Then we can go out for a stroll at night. !"
"In the film and television city?"
Jiang Li found the homestay video he had seen before, "Well, this is what you see."
In the video, there are two rows of emerald green pruning bamboo at the entrance of the homestay, and the unobstructed greenery extends to the concealed gate. Behind the door is a small courtyard paved with gradient wood planks and smooth cobblestones. The whole building is in the style of Huizhou, as if living in an ink painting, and the rooms are also very distinctive, including many film and television elements, giving people a feeling of returning to decades ago.
Zhou Chao nodded in satisfaction after reading it, and returned the phone to Jiang Li, "Okay, let's go here."
Looking at the flashing scenery outside the window, Jiang Li asked curiously: "Brother Chao, how big is Hengdian?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chao chuckled, "You are asking the right person."
When he signed in before, the system sent him all the information about Hengdian by the way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a know-it-all about Hengdian.
Seeing Jiang Li staring straight at him, Zhou Chao coughed twice tactically, "Hengdian covers a total area of more than 50,000 mu. It is currently the largest group of film and television tourism theme parks in China, with more than 100 Grade A ( Movie-level), B-level (TV-level) studios, more than 2,000 filming scenes of ancient costumes, eras, and modern and contemporary films. Several key scenic spots are also 5A-level scenic spots certified by the state."
"Many famous TV series or movies are filmed here, and we can also go to play cards at that time. At the same time, these scenic spots have specific performances, enough for us to play for a few days."
"I want to go shopping now." Jiang Li can't wait now, after all, he hasn't gone out much, and he definitely wants to go when he meets something interesting.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. The most important thing now is to find a place to live and settle down. Later, I will go to the office of Hengdian Film and Television City and talk to the person in charge here."
"It's okay, I can go around by myself or stay in the hotel."
Zhou Chao nodded, and soon the two arrived at the place they mentioned earlier.
Fortunately, there is a parking place at the entrance. After parking the car, the two walked into the B&B. It was exactly the same as in the video. The Huizhou architectural style added a bit of beauty.
"Hello, do you two want to stay?" A young woman in her thirties came out of the house, she was the proprietress of this homestay.
"Are there any good rooms?" Zhou Chao also knew that Hengdian, as a film and television area, has quite a lot of tourists here, and he couldn't guarantee that these homestays still have vacant rooms.
"There just happened to be an independent room with a garden, but the price is a bit expensive!" The proprietress said and kept looking at the two of them, and she knew from the clothes and temperament that the two were not short of money.
"Money is not a problem, you can take us to have a look, if you are satisfied, we will stay!"
Hearing Zhou Chao's words, the proprietress narrowed her eyes slightly, and led the two of them towards the inside with a smile. They came to a small courtyard with white exterior walls and herringbone tile roofs. The yard has a thatched pergola and a swing.
The proprietress opened the door and walked in, "See if you are satisfied."
The style of the whole room is a bit like the Hong Kong style of the 1980s, which gives people a bright feeling. The first floor is a large living room and leisure area. There were two reclining chairs on a balcony, and Zhou Chao glanced around and nodded in satisfaction.
Looking at the smiling Jiang Li Zhengdong, Zhou Chao knew that she was also very satisfied, so he turned to look at the proprietress and said, "We want this room, how much is it, I will transfer it to you directly!"
"Handsome boy, you also know that our accommodation here is very tight. It is also the peak season for tourism recently, so the price is a bit more expensive than before. Yours is a small courtyard with a single house, so the price is 600 a day, but we Breakfast is included here, you can tell us what you want to eat!" The proprietress also looked at Zhou Chao nervously, after all, the price is quite expensive in Hengdian.
Listening to the proprietress talking so much and doing so many preparations, I thought the price would be thousands of dollars, but I didn’t expect it to be only 600 yuan, so I smiled and said: "The price is okay for the proprietress, and I don’t know if I want to live in it." For a few days, how about I transfer you three thousand first, then more refunds and less compensation, you see if it works!"
"Okay, okay, no problem!" The lady boss smiled, it seems that the lady boss is also a very down-to-earth person.
Zhou Chao didn’t have any ink either, so he took out his mobile phone and passed it to the proprietress. He should register his ID card when he settled in, so Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li to rest in the room now, and he followed the proprietress to the front.
After finishing the process, they returned to the car and took out their luggage.
As soon as he walked to the yard, he saw Jiang Li sitting on the swing in the small courtyard, "Be careful!"
"I see, you are going to find the person in charge, you will go home if you don't go."
Hearing that, Zhou Chao looked at the time and found that it was already three o'clock. After delaying for a while, he might really leave work early and go home as Jiang Li said. After all, it is normal for a person in charge to leave work early.
"It's okay. If no one is here, I can just call. If I don't want to make a surprise check on their work status, I will ask the person in charge to report to me about the situation in Hengdian!" Zhou Chao said and put the two of them together The luggage was placed in the living room.
"Yo, see if you can do it." Jiang Li said jokingly.
"Good girl, just kidding your husband, let's see how I deal with you!" Zhou Chao walked out quickly, and when he came to Jiang Li's side, he touched Jiang Li's itchy spot, and Jiang Li gasped for a while.
"Wrong, brother Chao, I was wrong, my stomach hurts if I keep laughing."
Jiang Li's words made Zhou Chao stop instantly, and asked with concern: "Are you all right?" He didn't forget to stroke his slightly protruding belly with his hand.
Seeing Zhou Chao's nervous expression, Jiang Li giggled, and Zhou Chao realized that he was cheated by her, but he didn't take care of Jiang Li anymore. If Jiang Li really made a mistake, he can't escape the blame!
"Okay, I'll go to the office first, wait for me to come back!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Chao kissed Jiang Li's forehead, and said that if he went out, when he was chatting with the proprietress, he had already asked about the office space of Hengdian Film and Television City, and it was not too far from where he lived. , about a few minutes' drive away.
After leaving the hotel, I drove straight to Wansheng Road, where the office of Hengdian Film and Television City is located.
Looking at the unique single-family three-story small western-style building, Zhou Chao strode in, and was stopped by the young lady at the front desk as soon as he entered.
Looking at Zhou Chao's handsome face, the young lady burst into a smile that she thought was the prettiest and said, "Hi, sir, who are you looking for?"
"Is Shang Xiaoqing here?" Zhou Chao asked directly if the person in charge was there!
Hearing Shang Xiaoqing's name, the young lady froze for a moment. Isn't this the name of the chairman of the board? She is so young and handsome, so she can't be our chairman. Thinking about it, he quickly asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No, you just call her and say that Zhou Chao is looking for her!"
"Mr. Zhou, please take a rest here, and I will report to the superior immediately."
Zhou Chao nodded, and sat on a chair not far away. As for why he didn't call Shang Xiaoqing himself, it wasn't that Zhou Chao didn't have a phone number. On the contrary, he had all the relevant information when he signed in, but he was simply lazy and didn't want to call. That's it, the result is the same anyway.
Just as he was sitting on a chair waiting for Shang Xiaoqing to greet him, the lady at the front desk stabbed him in the heart.
Hearing this, Zhou Chao laughed directly angrily, but he also understood what was going on. After all, as Shang Xiaoqing's secretary, he could be regarded as half a high-level person, and he was also an important figure here, but he couldn't get in touch with Zhou Chao. It's normal not to know his name, after all, the company's confidentiality system is not a joke, but what I didn't expect was that Secretary Chen didn't report to Shang Xiaoqing.
"I see, I'll make the call myself!" Zhou Chao nodded, took out his mobile phone, found Shang Xiaoqing's number, and called.
The phone rang twice before Shang Xiaoqing answered the phone. As the person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City, she knew about Hengdian's change of ownership a long time ago. I've gotten used to it for many years, so I gave up the idea. I thought the new boss would call her, but I didn't expect to wait for several days. I thought I had forgotten myself.
"Hi, boss!" Shang Xiaoqing felt a little uneasy at this time, and didn't know what kind of person the boss was.
"I'll be waiting for you at the front desk of your company!" Zhou Chao hung up the phone after speaking.
After hanging up the phone, he found the young lady at the front desk looking at him with a **** look on his face, which made Zhou Chao think: "This girl has never seen a handsome guy before."
Coughed a little awkwardly, the young lady looked back, her pretty face blushed, and hurried back to her place, not daring to look at Zhou Chao again.
After waiting for about a minute or two, I heard a burst of intensive footsteps upstairs, and saw Shang Xiaoqing walking down quickly with three middle-aged men. Very good.
Scanning for a while, he found that besides the lady at the front desk, there was only a handsome guy sitting not far away. Could it be that this is the boss? Shang Xiaoqing dismissed this idea as soon as he came up. How could the boss be so young.
Shang Xiaoqing walked quickly to the front desk lady and asked, "Did anyone come to see me just now!"
"have!"
"Where are people!"
The lady at the front desk looked at Zhou Chao who was not far away, and Shang Xiaoqing followed her gaze. It was the handsome guy I saw before. Could it be that this is really my boss? This is too young Alright.
Shang Xiaoqing walked up to Zhou Chao nervously, and called out uncertainly, "Boss?"
Zhou Chao looked at Shang Xiaoqing with a smile on his face and said, "Why, a little surprised?"
Hearing this, Shang Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "It's really a little surprising. I didn't expect you, boss, to be so young."
She didn't find any other reasons. After all, Shang Xiaoqing also knew that the boss must not be stupid, so she might as well just say what she thought.
And the senior executives behind him haven't recovered yet. Although they knew about the change of owner of Hengdian Film and Television City, none of them thought that their new boss would be a handsome young man in his twenties. Think about it. At that time, I should still be beaten by the society, I am so angry!
"Boss, let me introduce you. These are Director Tian Gao, Director Xu Fu, and Director Xu Wen!"
"Boss, hello!" The three shouted in unison.
"Let's go, let's go to your office!" Zhou Chao stood up, the smile on his face also restrained, showing a trace of rigor on his stern face.
Looking at the boss's change, Shang Xiaoqing and the others knew that what awaited them next was whether to go or stay.
"Boss, this way please!" Shang Xiaoqing quickly took two steps forward and led Zhou Chaoxiang to his office.
Along the way, many employees of the company showed curious expressions, and they all looked at Zhou Chao, thinking in their hearts what the identity of this handsome guy was, to have so many senior leaders personally accompany him.
Soon everyone came to Shang Xiaoqing's office, and just after sitting down, a figure hurried in with a document, muttering: "Director Shang, this is the work plan for the next quarter, look look"
At this time, the person who came also saw the scene in the office clearly, and swallowed back the words before he finished speaking.
"Excuse me, Director Shang, I don't know anyone."
"Secretary Chen, please put the documents on the table and come in while making a few cups of tea."
"Secretary Chen?" Hearing Zhou Chao this week, he knew that the handsome guy in front of him was Shang Xiaoqing's secretary. things affect.
Secretary Chen looked at Zhou Chao, who was sitting among several executives, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He nodded when he heard Shang Xiaoqing's arrangement, then turned and walked out of the office.
"I'm sorry boss, Xiao Chen has not been here for a long time, and there are still many things I don't understand. Please forgive me."
"How long have you been here?" Zhou Chao looked at Shang Xiaoqing with some surprise.
Shang Xiaoqing nodded in confusion, "About two months!"
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then said softly: "Go straight!"
"Bang, bang!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Secretary Chen standing at the door with a few broken cups on the ground, presumably they just heard Zhou Chao's words.
Shang Xiaoqing's face was also a bit ugly, one was Secretary Chen's gaffe, and the other was that she thought Zhou Chao had given her a bad rap. Even the faces of several other executives became tense.
"Secretary Chen, go down first, and let someone clean it up."
After hearing this, Secretary Chen came back to his senses, with a little resentment and confusion on his face, just about to say something, when he saw Shang Xiaoqing's stern eyes, turned and left the office helplessly.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhou Chao's mouth slightly raised, "It's getting more and more interesting."
When Secretary Chen left, Shang Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Chao solemnly and asked, "Boss, why did you fire Secretary Chen? Although he has only been here for two months, the things he explained are handled very quickly. If the boss doesn't To give a reasonable explanation, I do not agree with dismissing Secretary Chen."
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the other senior executives who were sitting changed drastically. Gao Ping said quickly: "Boss, don't be angry, what Director Shang just said was angry!"
Zhou Chao waved his hand calmly when he heard the words, looked at Shang Xiaoqing with deep eyes and said lightly: "I asked the front desk to call you before I came, do you know?"
Shang Xiaoqing, who was a little angry when she heard this, instantly changed her face. She knew that the call from the front desk was usually answered by Secretary Xu. , Reminiscent of what the boss asked just now, Shang Xiaoqing understood why the boss asked her to fire Secretary Xu.
You, a secretary who has only been here for two months, where did you get the right to reject these important calls? If this is an exception, it's okay, if it's not an exception, she, Shang Xiaoqing, will also bear the unshirkable responsibility, is it okay? Imagine that Secretary Xu blocked a lot of important information and phone calls without Shang Xiaoqing's knowledge, or what benefits Secretary Xu gained in the middle, these are all unknown.
Gao Pingping is not an idiot, and he quickly figured out what was going on. He looked at Shang Xiaoqing with worry, but also with gloating. After all, if Shang Xiaoqing loses points with the boss, does it mean that It is also possible for him to become the chairman of the board, and the minds of several executives became active for a while.
"Boss, can I ask?" Shang Xiaoqing has calmed down a lot at this time, and there is no reason for it on his face.
Zhou Chao nodded lightly, "Go!"
Shang Xiaoqing quickly stood up and walked outside. After he left the office, the remaining three began to feel their presence in front of Zhou Chao.
"Boss, you can't blame Shang Dong, after all, that Secretary Chen is her nephew, that's why she is so relieved, no one thought that such a thing would happen." Gao Ping decisively put eye drops on Shang Xiaoqing.
"If I say business director, it's a little bit of power for personal gain. If you think about it, a college student who just graduated is not 985, 211 or the like. .” Xu Fu did not forget to make up for it.
Only Xu Wenan sat quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Not long after, Shang Xiaoqing walked in with a dark face, walked straight to Zhou Chao's side and said, "Boss, it's my fault, it's because I trust people too much, I didn't expect that I would carry my name on my back less than two months after I started work." I have done a lot of things as the secretary of the chairman, and I have received a lot of kickbacks from some merchants and cooperative companies, almost nearly 200,000. This is my negligence, and I will review it with you!"
Hearing this, Gao Ping and Xu Fu's eyes flashed a hint of joy.
"What are you going to do!" Zhou Chao looked at Shang Xiaoqing with an expression on his face.
Shang Xiaoqing gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and seemed to understand something, "Boss, Secretary Chen is one of my nephews, and I asked him to return all the kickbacks he ate to the merchant. I hope you will give it a chance!"
Zhou Chao was not in a hurry to speak, but instead observed the expressions of the few people calmly. After all, what happened when Shang Xiaoqing was away just now made Zhou Chao see that the top management in Hengdian was not monolithic, on the contrary, they were basically They are fighting on their own, which gives Zhou Chao a chance to completely control Hengdian.
Seeing the different expressions of several people, Zhou Chao said unhurriedly: "You pleaded in person, how can I not give you this face, but the position needs to be changed, downgraded to acting chairman by half, as for the chairman Several of you have opportunities in the position, it’s up to you to grasp it yourself, but I don’t want to see this kind of thing happen again, and it’s useless to ask for mercy next time, do you understand?”
Hearing Zhou Chao's words, several families were happy and others were worried. Although Shang Ziqing was not completely demoted, it also gave several other executives a chance to be promoted.
"Understood, boss!" Everyone said in unison.
