Chapter 587 One-day tour of the chief executive's mansion
In the small study room.
The chief manager said indifferently: "Secretary Liu, go make a call... No! You'd better go there in person and invite Sir Bai over."
"yes."
Secretary Liu bowed down respectfully, "Sir Tian, is the matter urgent?"
Secretary Liu, the reason why she asked this question was because she was worried that Boss Bai would delay things if he came over slowly.
So Secretary Liu needs to confirm: Is the matter urgent?
General Manager Tian Da said, "It's urgent! A few minutes of delay will make a big difference."
Wait until Secretary Liu turns around, and then walks away quickly.
The general manager snorted in his heart: Isn't it very urgent? This Dongshan duck head is braised first and then fried.
After it cools down, the skin on the duck head...is no longer crispy!
Big Boss Bai likes to skin people.
But he also loves the crispy duck skin on the Dongshan duck head...
In the study room at this time,
It seemed that only the chief manager was left alone.
But he suddenly spoke and said in fluent English, "Put the gun away. Come here and try these two dishes."
As soon as the chief steward finished speaking,
Two figures immediately flashed out from behind the screen in the study room.
I saw these two guys, blond, blue-eyed, and tall.
The two of them are fully 1.9 meters tall. Each is wearing a crisp suit and has a stern look on his face.
The big boss waved his hand, "Tony, you are responsible for tasting this dish. Will, you eat the duck head."
Tony and Will looked at each other, with a look of pain on their faces.
After the two bodyguards finished tasting the dishes, they waited for a while, but nothing happened.
The chief manager then waved his hand and motioned for them to go out.
After the two of them respectfully exited the study...
"Whoosh——" sound!
Manager Tian threw himself fiercely on the desk. With trembling hands, he picked up the bamboo tube of "Sweet Shao Bai", put it under his nose, and sniffed greedily...
"Gudong——" A mouthful of saliva fell to his stomach.
The chief steward directly stretched out three fingers, picked up a fat piece of "sweet roasted white", and carefully put it into his mouth.
A familiar smell from childhood,
Slowly... it slowly spread in the Grand Manager's mouth.
At this moment in front of his eyes,
It seemed like scenes from my childhood reappeared: General Manager Tian and his childhood sweetheart, as well as the General Manager’s older sister and younger sister.
Two little boys wearing exquisite suits, and two little girls wearing red cotton-padded jackets.
In the bamboo forest in my hometown, I ran, chased, and played.
"Giggle...Brother, look, what's that white thing on that bamboo? It's so beautiful!"
"Silly sister, that's the bamboo blooming."
"Brother is lying...how can the bamboo bloom?"
"Sister, Erdan didn't lie to you, the bamboo will really bloom. It's just that once the bamboo blooms, the bamboo will die."
"Sister! Don't call me Erdan in the future...it's so unpleasant! I've grown up."
"Erdan, no matter how big you get, you are still my Erdan... cluck! Erdan, Erdan! Haha..."
"Ignore you, sister! Sister, let's go home."
"Why do you want to go home? Brother, let's play some more?"
"I want to go home! My aunt has prepared sweet roasted white rice for us, and I just want to go back and eat it."
"Why do you need my aunt to cook by herself? Aren't there two cooks at home?"
"No, I just like to eat the sweet roasted white rice made by my aunt. The one made by the cook is not delicious."
"Then go home, brother, you are just a glutton...Giggle...Gludgy brother Erdan...Giggle, shame, shame!"
"...."
Two tears slowly seeped out from the Grand Controller's eyelashes...
"Aunt..."
The chief steward's lips trembled slightly, "Erdan misses you... are you okay in heaven?"
"Old Tian, what are you doing?"
The big boss is a fair, fat guy who looks a bit festive and harmless to humans and animals.
It even makes people feel that he looks a bit like Maitreya Buddha.
only,
Occasionally, the murderous aura that flashed inadvertently from his small eyes would make people feel a little bit of fear.
It seems that in the hot weather, an inexplicable coolness suddenly passes over me.
On the back of people's ridges,
Countless goosebumps, one after another, gushing out like waves.
Manager Tian Da wiped away his tears,
Then he smiled slightly: "Look at what's in that bamboo tube?"
The big boss frowned: What on earth is so valuable?
I actually have to do it myself to open the bamboo tube?
It's just that the big manager and the big boss have a life-long friendship. Now, since the big manager is so mysterious, he must have his own purpose.
"Huh...it smells like brine."
The big boss smelled it and said slowly, "What kind of delicacy is it? Braised iron-head goose?"
The chief steward shook his head, picked up a piece of sweet roasted white flower and put it into his mouth.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and savored the familiar childhood memory.
The big boss chuckled, "You, you, you are already dozens of years old. You still eat such greasy food?
When I took a bite, it was full of lard, mung bean cake, and the taste of white sugar. It’s not good for your health! Lao Tian.”
The chief manager closed his eyes and replied, "Did I eat high sugar or high cholesterol? What I ate... those are memories."
"Dongshan duck head?"
The big boss was full of surprise. He looked at the pile of golden duck heads in the bamboo tube and said, "You haven't returned to the island for a while. Tell me, where did you get this thing?"
The chief manager smiled slightly and said, "Try it. Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I just asked my bodyguard to try it."
"Not bad, it has a bit of that flavor."
The big boss took a sip, nodded in admiration, "I didn't expect that in the company, I could still taste the delicious food from my hometown.
The cook I brought over from the island last time. She can also cook some Hokkien dishes, but she can't cook this kind of brine."
Take a bite of the big boss, the brains inside the braised duck head,
Slowly savoring it: "Not bad, not bad. It has a bit of Dongshan duck head flavor. Unfortunately... the braised flavor is not particularly authentic."
The chief manager smiled and said, "Old Bai, just be satisfied! The Dongshan Yatou store on the island has used their brine for hundreds of years.
In the company, if someone can add this duck head and make it 7 or 8 points similar, that’s already pretty good.”
The big boss nodded, "Yes, that's indeed the truth.
Hey, Lao Tian, don’t you still have a few bottles of Kinmen sorghum wine? Come on, take it out, let’s take a few sips!”
When half the bottle of wine was gone, the three duck heads had eaten them all.
Boss Bai pushed the wine glass on the table, sighed first, and then said, "At the beginning of the month, the financial director Lao Liang called.
It is said that the jade market last month saw a huge drop. Xiangjiang Jiali Baode Auction House has focused on opening a special auction of famous paintings.
Nowadays, our rough stone auctions have become increasingly difficult.
Lao Tian, you know, our company's total revenue last month was 370.
My liver is so cold! I only need 230 for a month just to distribute dividends to those leeches."
The general manager frowned and said, "We also need to bribe the warlords, big and small, along the way.
In the past month, the net profit has been made to those big leeches who occupy the shares and the warlords big and small along the way..."
The big boss sighed, "Yes! We don't have to pay wages to those workers in the company that are losing money...
If we include this labor cost, we won't be able to earn even half a cent."
The chief executive pondered, "People think that when we run a mining company, it's as easy as bending down to pick up money... What's the truth? Alas, no one knows the difficulties of our company..."
The big boss and the big manager habitually like to call Myawaddy, the hell on earth, "the company."
But those workers who have been exploited have become "workers" in their mouths.
It sounds quite beautiful...
————————
In the lounge.
Even though this is just a place for Filipino maids and support staff to rest, its decoration level is not low.
There were five Filipino maids sitting on a large leather sofa, talking quietly in English.
When these servants saw Luo Xuan come in, their eyes lit up...
"Tsk tsk tsk, heart-throb...."
"yes, handsome."
The expression on Luo Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly towards the group of women with slightly darker skin.
Even if I have said hello to them.
The room is very spacious and the facilities are modern.
A 17-inch "Toshiba" color TV, coffee machine, water dispenser, bread baking machine, internal telephone... everything is available.
“Do you o have some coffee...?”
Do you need some coffee?
A young maid stood up and handed Luo Xuan a cup of coffee.
Luo Xuan looked at the cup and saw something dark.
Then he pretended to be confused and shook his head, "Thank you...what is this? I don't drink."
"Giggle...that person, it turns out he doesn't know this thing. Hey, tell me, where is he from?"
The maids saw that Luo Xuan could not understand English and had never seen coffee.
Several servants immediately became lively, "Hey, you guys think... he's not the piggy in the camp, right?"
An older maid glanced at Luo Xuan,
Then he nodded: "Look at his appearance, he should be one of the piglets captured in the camp."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor handsome guy...this life is over."
"God bless, I hope he can walk out alive."
"It's hard...it depends on his luck."
A few maids were chatting in English there.
Luo Xuan had an expressionless face, pretending to be watching TV. In fact, he was secretly listening to their conversation with his ears pricked up.
Try to get some useful information from their conversations.
only,
As these women chatted, the topic gradually shifted to their families in their hometown.
A Filipino maid said, "I miss my husband and children."
The other one nodded, "I'm thinking about it too. But, when our six-year contract expires, we can go home and rest for two days."
Then I will go to the Middle East to find a job. I heard that the wages there are very high..."
"Mikona, you have to go back."
Mikona was puzzled, "Aijia, what do you mean? In one year, my contract will expire. Why can't I go home by then?"
Aijia shook her head, "I always feel that the owner of this place will not let us go home.
The last time I called home, my husband told me about Ayina from the village next door, but she didn't go back."
"Aiyina? Didn't she leave in a jeep last time?"
"Yes, I also gave her a ride."
Aijia gave a bitter smile, "Then what? Wait until the jeep drives away. Do you and we know where Aiyina was sent by them?"
"Is it impossible? We have directional security provided by the embassy staff..."
Ai Jia snorted coldly, "So what? You didn't see that the guests the master entertains every time are all dignitaries.
From the looks of them, they are all high-ranking officials. If you want us women, who are as unknown as little ants, to disappear quietly... wouldn't it be easy?"
Hearing the words,
The maids present suddenly fell into collective silence.
Among them were two timid women who even started sobbing slightly...
"Stop crying, let's go do something. Don't let the master notice anything strange...especially Butler Xu, that woman...is too scary!"
As he spoke, the five maids stood up.
Among them was a woman who looked like a foreman when she passed by Luo Xuan.
He reached out and patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "Be sure to be careful of Butler Xu. May the Lord bless you..."
