Chapter 232: Squeeze the Elevator(1/2)
Wang Lin came downstairs and saw Tang Yan making a phone call at the front desk.
While Tang Yan was on the phone, she was also paying attention to the elevator exit. When she saw Wang Lin coming down, she waved to him.
Wang Lin nodded, walked to a place a little further away from her and stood there, waiting for her to finish making the call before walking over.
Tang Yan put down the phone and said with a smile: "My brother called me to ask about you. He said he would come over to see you in the evening. I'm really sorry."
Wang Lin said: "Is your father in good health?"
Tang Yan smiled and said: "Thank you, my father is out of danger. I found that you are really good to Miss Shen."
"Oh? How did you find out?" Wang Lin asked with a smile.
"The way you look at her is full of caring tenderness; her flawless face is full of happy smiles. The restaurant is only six floors away from the room, but you have to send her up there. Also, just now When eating, she would naturally put dishes she didn't like into your bowl, and you wouldn't mind it." Tang Yan said, "Whether a man treats a woman well or not depends on these details."
"Haha, I made you laugh." Wang Lin smiled calmly.
Tang Yan invited Wang Lin out of the hotel.
Her driver was nearby, but they were not together while eating. When it was time to use the car, the driver appeared again naturally.
Kowloon is also one of the most prosperous and lively places in Hong Kong.
In fact, the entire Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories, except for the hills, are full of people and prosperous everywhere.
Popular shopping areas include Temple Street, Fa Yuen Street, Sai Yeung Choi Street and Tung Choi Street in Kowloon District, with large shops, small shops, and street vendors. In the port area, there are Johnston Road in Wan Chai, Jardine's Place in Causeway Bay, and Times Square. Wait, there is a lot of traffic every day.
The main commercial and bustling area is Central, followed by Tsim Sha Tsui.
The most prosperous places at night include bar areas such as Lan Kwai Fong and Locke Road in Wan Chai; nightclubs include Portland Street and Shanghai Street in Mong Kok; large discotheques include Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei.
Time was limited in the afternoon, so Tang Yan took Wang Lin to visit the headquarters of Dahua Company, which was their company's office building.
Dahua Company is not far from the Kowloon Hotel, it only takes ten minutes to drive there. This must be the reason why Tang Yan chose this hotel for Wang Lin to stay.
The company is on the sixteenth floor of the office building.
There are many people in the elevator, all of them are young and energetic. The men are all in suits and ties, and the women are in fashionable professional skirts.
There are many young people, which means that the city is dynamic and can attract and retain young people.
Wang Lin didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting for the elevator in an office building, and he was instantly transported back to the CBD core area of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in the 21st century.
The elevator came, Tang Yan made a sign of invitation, and the two of them followed the flow of people and entered the elevator.
Tang Yan stood aside and said with a smile: "It happens to be working time, so there are many people."
Wang Lin smiled and said: "It's okay, it will be more lively if it is crowded."
But he still underestimated the power of people in Xiangjiang to squeeze into the elevator.
Everyone is rushing to go to work for these two elevators. If you miss it, you may be marked as late. Therefore, even though there are no more people to fit in, there are still people outside shouting: "I borrowed it, but I shouldn't."
Then the crowd pushed inside, and two more people squeezed in.
Wang Lin's body was involuntarily pushed toward Tang Yan, as if drifting with the tide.
The two were face to face, face to face at this moment.
Wang Lin felt the softness of his body, and quickly stretched out his hands to support the elevator wall, smiling awkwardly: "Sorry."
Tang Yan lowered her hands, motionless, and whispered: "It doesn't matter."
Wang Lin thought that the elevator squeeze incident was over.
But unexpectedly, just as the elevator door slowly closed, someone opened the elevator again and squeezed in with a smile on his face: "No! I'm in a hurry."
Everyone thought that water could not enter the elevator room, but a person was forced to squeeze in again.
So, everyone squeezed in a little bit, squeezing the space between each other again.
Wang Lin thought his hands could support his body, but he underestimated the vitality of the young staff in Xiangjiang!
His body once again leaned forward involuntarily, pressing tightly against Tang Yan's body, and kissed her face heavily with his lips.
Tang Yan turned her face slightly, but she couldn't turn too much, because it would be very rude, and Wang Lin was the honored guest she invited!
There was a fat woman next to her, her face was distorted by the squeeze, and she was pressed against the glass wall, as if she was looking into a magic mirror.
Wang Lin didn't care to speak anymore, because he felt embarrassed to say anything, so it was better not to explain.
What's wrong with mopping up some oil? It's not like he wants to mop it up!
This isn’t the end yet!
People standing at the elevator door were shouting: "You can't go in anymore! You can't go in anymore! Wait for the next trip!"
However, some people do not believe in this evil and still force their way in.
As a result, the people in the elevator were pushed back and forth by the back waves just like the front waves, squeezing out a narrower space inside.
At this time, Tang Yan really felt something abnormal in Wang Lin's body.
Even if the atmosphere here in Xiangjiang is open, such close contact between two unfamiliar men and women is still quite speechless!
"Why don't you turn around?" Wang Lin could only hold back this sentence.
It's naturally better if two people don't face each other.
Tang Yan shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter."
Wang Lin had no choice but to put his hands on both sides of her head and try his best to arch his body to create a little space between the two of them.
Tang Yan felt his love and care and smiled lightly.
The elevator door finally closed.
Wang Lin prayed that those bloody scenes of elevator malfunctions in movies should never be staged. People would suffocate to death if they were trapped in such a confined space!
Fortunately, the elevator went smoothly all the way.
Moreover, there are more people getting off and fewer people getting up. When you reach the tenth floor or above, the elevator space becomes quite loose.
The sixteenth floor is finally here!
There were still a lot of people in the elevator, so Tang Yan asked to borrow it while holding Wang Lin's hand and walking out of the elevator.
It’s finally out!
Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Wang Lin like this, Tang Yan smiled sheepishly: "I didn't arrange it well. We shouldn't squeeze into the elevator on the hour. The employees are waiting for this elevator to go to work, so there are so many people."
Wang Lin expressed his understanding and said: "Xiangjiang has a high population density and it is the central CBD area. It is natural that there are many people."
Tang Yan said: "It's better to go to the mainland. Your company is on the third floor. You can reach it by taking the stairs."
Wang Lindao: "That is a symbol of backwardness!"
Tang Yan said: "The land in Xiangjiang is limited, so we can only seek space upwards. But I think there is no need for the mainland to develop according to this model. In fact, many Western countries do not advocate skyscrapers. A big city can only have a few skyscrapers."
It is enough to be a landmark building. For truly comfortable residential and office buildings, low-rise buildings are better.”
Wang Lindao: "Although mainland China is vast, it also has a lot of people. Urban space is also limited. Everyone wants to squeeze into the best location to work, so they can only ask for space."
The two chatted, walked inside, walked through a corridor, and came to a door.
There is a sign hanging at the door, which is Xiangjiang Dahua Machinery Co., Ltd.
Dahua Company occupies half a floor, which is considered a big company in the center of Kowloon where land is at a premium.
There are dozens of people working in the company, and the phones are ringing non-stop, speaking in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and other languages, one after another, very much like an international company.
The entire office building is equipped with central air-conditioning, which is as warm as spring. The staff working inside are dressed in simple clothes. The male staff wear suits and ties, and the female staff also wear professional skirts. When going out after get off work, a large leather suit is enough.
"Mr. Wang, please come in." Tang Yan said with a smile, "This is our company headquarters."
Wang Lin asked: "How much salary can I get from working in your company?"
Tang Yan said: "There are different types of work and different positions, ranging from more than 2,000 to more than 10,000."
Wang Linda said: "What about the ordinary workers in the factory?"
"A salary of two to three thousand is relatively common."
Wang Lin said: "Compared to the mainland, it is still more than ten or twenty times higher."
Tang Yan said: "The prices here are also expensive. A salary in Shencheng can buy more than a thousand kilograms of vegetables, but in Xiangjiang, a month's salary can only buy a few hundred kilograms of vegetables. People in Shanghai can live on 70 yuan a month.
I live very well, but I can only live like this on 3,000 yuan a month in Xiangjiang."
Wang Lindao: "It makes sense. No matter where you are, if you want to live a prosperous life, relying on the average salary is far from enough. However, electrical appliances in Xiangjiang are really cheap."
Tang Yan said: "Yes, because the mainland's electrical appliance production imports are too small, and there are quotas. The same TV costs 500 yuan in Xiangjiang, but it will cost 1,500 yuan in the mainland. A month's worth of people in Xiangjiang
You can buy several TV sets with your salary, but mainlanders have to save several years of salary before they can buy one TV set. Many people have made a fortune by selling electrical appliances from Xiangjiang to the mainland."
Wang Lindao: "Are there formal channels? Or is it smuggling?"
Tang Yan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I don't understand this very well. I think most of them are illegal channels! I heard that even the drivers who travel between the two places will bring goods to sell. What's the matter, are you interested?
"
Wang Lindao: "I am interested in all industries that make money. However, the domestic electrical appliance industry will soon usher in a period of explosive growth. In a few years, domestic electrical appliance prices will also drop, and there will even be a round of
