The person who was arranged to accompany Zhou Hao was the manager of the Human Resources Department of Poly Group. His name was Huang Yuanyuan. He was an unattractive man in his forties. He always smiled and showed no anger towards everyone. Moreover, because he was a little overweight,
He smiles like a Maitreya Buddha.
Zhou Hao knew that Huang Yuanyuan's status in the Poly Group was not too high, at least not as high as that of Kong Fiqiao. Because in a place like the Poly Group, which has an extremely strong official background, the human resources department was simply a puppet manipulated by the masters above.
It's okay to recruit ordinary employees at the lowest level. For some more important positions, it's not Huang Yuanyuan's turn to make the decision at all. Basically, they are arranged according to the "list" issued above.
The reason why he was sent to accompany Zhou Hao was actually to serve as Zhou Hao's "travel escort". Originally, the job of "travel escort" should be more suitable for a young and beautiful woman. But Kong Fiqiao was vaguely aware of the situation.
Guessing the relationship between Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin, she wanted to let Zhao Yuqin know that she had arranged a woman to be Zhou Hao's companion. Then should she still hang out in the future?
Following the two men who were obviously from the army, Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan arrived at a three-story European-style villa in downtown Xiamen. This villa was not a modern luxury villa like Country Garden, but had a building of fifty or sixty years old.
The old house, which is 100 years old, obviously existed here before the Anti-Japanese War. It is simple and unique, and one of the outer walls is even covered with vines.
On the door plate next to the gate outside the villa, the words "Shengde Mansion" are written in regular regular script.
Those who can own such a mansion are not ordinary people, which makes Zhou Hao even more curious about the mysterious person.
Entering the mansion, Zhou Hao saw that the layout of the house was indeed the style of fifty or sixty years ago. There was actually a gramophone on the oak coffee table. There were also many servants here, about eight or nine.
All of them are men and women in their thirties and forties, and they should have worked here for more than ten years.
After Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan sat down in the hall, a man in his fifties who looked like a butler made two cups of fragrant hot tea for them.
Huang Yuanyuan exclaimed after taking a sip: "This is authentic British Twinings black tea!"
Zhou Hao also took a small sip. However, although the ice tea series produced by Tianhe Beverage Group has become popular all over the country, even sweeping Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is heading to Japan and South Korea, Zhou Hao himself does not have a deep understanding of tea culture.
British black tea now
He didn't know the true situation, but he knew that as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the British were eager for Chinese black tea, most of the tea that was shipped across the ocean from China to England and sold at high prices was actually
Just low quality broken leaf tea.
Listening to Huang Yuanyuan chatting with interest about the unique features of British Twinings black tea, the servant brought many exquisite models, both Chinese and Western. The level of sophistication left Zhou Hao stunned. For example, the cage resembled a crystal.
The dumpling dim sum was actually carved into the shape of a small sparrow, and even the feathers on the wings, which were only the size of grains of rice, were so lifelike that people couldn't bear to put them in their mouths.
Zhou Hao thought to himself: The chefs here are considered to be national experts. They must be those "imperial chefs" in Zhongnanhai.
Huang Yuanyuan also stared at the dazzling array of snacks in front of him, then pointed to the plate of mille-feuille and said: "This is the 'golden mille-feuille'. Although it looks similar to ordinary mille-feuille, this 'golden mille-feuille'
It can stay as crispy as fresh out of the oven after being stored for three days and three nights. I ate it once before at a banquet in Diaoyutai."
Zhou Hao was even more surprised, wondering who this mysterious person was. The chef in the Shengde Mansion was clearly the "Royal Chef". Could he be a member of the Standing Committee?
The servants in the hall were also very considerate. After preparing food for Zhou Hao and the others, they went out with the butler to prevent Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan from feeling uncomfortable. Then they came in every once in a while to add tea or serve Zhou Hao and the others.
Take away the empty plates and provide Zhou Hao with everything they need.
"Manager Huang, which adult wants to see me? Do you know?" Although he kept thinking about which important person wanted to meet him, Zhou Hao couldn't help but taste these exquisite dishes made by the "Royal Chef"
As soon as he tasted the dim sum, he couldn't stop eating it. He and Huang Yuanyuan teamed up to wipe out all the dim sum on the table.
Huang Yuanyuan drank the lipstick tea and sighed with satisfaction before saying: "Mr. Zhou, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I know nothing about the identity of this powerful man. Assistant Kong told me not to go
Ask, don't pry, just take good care of you, Mr. Zhou, so how can I dare to meddle in others' business."
Since even Huang Yuanyuan didn't know who the other person was, Zhou Hao had no choice but to stop guessing and settle down to wait for that person to come back. However, he didn't know what important things that person was busy with. Zhou Hao and the others were always here.
After staying for two or three hours, he still didn't come back.
Fortunately, Shengde Mansion has everything here. After Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan took a comfortable hot bath, there were actually two masseurs who were over sixty years old but had excellent skills to massage them.
Finally, you can go to a small movie screening room on the second floor to watch movies, but the Shengde Mansion collects classic revolutionary movies such as the Anti-Japanese War and the Long March, or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", etc.
In terms of TV series, Zhou Hao even watched his own two large-scale costume series "Da Ming Gong Ci" and "Kangxi Dynasty" produced by Galaxy TV that are very popular in China.
"Really, I already have a net worth of over 10 billion, but I can't compare to this guy in terms of enjoyment. No, I will also build a 'Zhou Mansion' after I go back." Enjoying the facilities and services in this Shengde Mansion
, Zhou Hao thought in his heart.
At this time, the mobile phone rang. Zhou Hao saw that the number belonged to Lei Hu, so he answered the phone and said, "Hello, Lei Hu? What do you want from me?"
"Boss, are you in Xiamen now?" Lei Hu said on the phone.
"Yes, I just came here today. What happened? Did something happen over there at Pluto? Or did something happen to Cousin Qingqing and the others?" Zhou Hao asked nervously. Now he was a little afraid of receiving a call from Lei Hu.
Because usually, what Thunder Tiger brings is not good news.
Lei Hu laughed and said: "No, boss, everything is operating normally at Pluto, and all ladies are very safe. It's because Daniu and I are here in Xiamen, and we just got news from Miss Zhao that you have come to Xiamen."
, so I just want to say hello to you."
"Are you and Daniel in Xiamen? Aren't you over there in Xiangcheng?" After the Hengda Real Estate incident was over, Lei Hu and the temporarily dispatched "Pluto" members naturally returned to Xiangcheng.
.
"Boss, when we went back before, you told me not to bother you with phone calls if there was nothing particularly important." Lei Hu said a little aggrieved.
That's because Zhou Hao didn't want anyone to disturb his and Zhao Yuqin's world, so he ordered Lei Hu like this.
He then heard Lei Hu say: "Two days ago, I received news that an underground martial arts conference was going to be held here in Fujian. Not only our domestic martial arts masters, but fighting masters from all over the world will gather together to participate in this martial arts conference.
I was curious for a moment, so I came over to see it. You know the character of Daniel, boss. After he knew that there was a martial arts conference here, he pestered me to come. I saw that it was nothing important, so I didn’t follow him.
Boss, you said it."
"Martial Arts Conference? Why didn't I know? After all, I am also a master." Zhou Hao said in surprise.
Lei Hu said: "Boss, how can a master like you care about these things? If a super master like you ends up, then other people don't need to participate. They can just abstain and go home."
Zhou Hao laughed and scolded: "This bullshit underground martial arts conference is basically an underground black boxing."
"Haha, boss Yingming, you are right, this is indeed the underground black boxing." Lei Hu said: "I have inquired, this so-called martial arts conference is actually called the 'Pluto Cup World Combat Sports Conference', which is held every two years.
Once, it was held in various countries in turn just like the Olympic Games. This year is the 13th one.
It happens to be our turn to host it in China. It turns out that the 'Pluto Cup World Combat Sports Conference' is very famous in the underground world of mercenaries, mafia, and terrorists. Almost every underground organization with powerful power will send representatives to participate, and even
The governments of some countries will also secretly send experts to compete."
After listening to Lei Hu's introduction, Zhou Hao realized that there was such a large and mysterious underground boxing match.
Lei Hu continued: "The prize money in this underground boxing match is very generous. The player who wins the championship in the final round can receive a huge bonus of 100 million U.S. dollars, and the runner-up and third runner-up can also receive 10 million U.S. dollars and 1 million U.S. dollars respectively.
However, compared to the peripheral gambling behind this underground boxing match, the money is just a drop in the bucket. By the way, each contestant must pay 100,000 US dollars to register."
Zhou Hao knows that these underground boxing matches often involve unimaginable amounts of money. Drug lords, mafia leaders or terrorist organizations all have their own ways of making money, and their wealth is even richer than those listed on Forbes.
Hearing what Lei Hu said, Zhou Hao couldn't laugh or cry and said, "You didn't sign up to participate, did you?"
"Oh, with my level of strength, how can I dare to compete with those strong men?" Lei Hu said, "But the big guys signed up."
