Chapter 192 Unchangeable Friendship
When the plane arrived at the Beijing International Plant, Jiang Wei, director of the Beijing Office of Warwick Group, was already waiting there, and took Zhao Dongsheng and his group to the office and arranged it in the luxurious suite on the top floor of the newly built 33-story dormitory building in the office.
With the continuous growth of Warwick Group, the business of the Beijing office will definitely become more and more busy. Therefore, Zhao Dongsheng prepared for the future and built this 33-story building, which is specially used to receive staff from various companies under Warwick Group to come to Beijing for service.
In addition, the 49-storey five-star hotel invested by Warwick Group in Beijing will be completed in the second half of this year and will officially open next year. By then, it will become the top business hotel in Beijing.
Since the land purchased by Warwick Group is within the Third Ring Road, it can be predicted that with its excellent geographical location and the reputation of Warwick Group at home and abroad, the Warwick Hotel will definitely be in a booming business at that time, attracting many domestic and foreign guests to check in.
The Warwick Building, located not far from the Warwick Hotel, will also be completed in the second half of the year. The main building is 49 floors high, the podium building is nine floors high, the first floor to nine floors are shopping malls, and the tenth floor to forty-ninth floors are office buildings. Zhao Dongsheng wants to build it into the highest-end business district in the capital.
The reason why Zhao Dongsheng had to stay in the capital for three days this time was that in addition to handling some things, he mainly came to attend the wedding of his college classmate Zhang Wenqing.
When Zhao Dongsheng was in college, to be precise, Zhao Weiguo, the owner of his body, was a nerd, so he had the best relationship with the five people in the dormitory in college. The five people often took him out to play, such as participating in club activities, dancing at dances, etc.
In Zhao Dongsheng's view, if it weren't for the five brothers in the dormitory, Zhao Weiguo's college life would be extremely boring.
Since Zhao Weiguo is the youngest among the six people in the dormitory, he is the sixth in the dormitory by age. Zhang Wenqing is two years older than him, the eldest in the dormitory, and is also the chairman of the student union of Yanda Mechanical College. Zhao Weiguo is covered in many places in the university, and Zhao Dongsheng must attend his wedding.
Zhang Wenqing's wedding was held two days later. On the night when Zhao Dongsheng arrived in the capital, he drove the Audi car from the office to the Mechanical Works Department's family compound.
Unlike Zhao Dongsheng, Zhang Wenqing went directly to the Mechanical Department after graduating from university and was doing well in the Mechanical Department. He was promoted to the deputy director a month ago and is now getting married again. It is a blessing to say that he is in the middle of the day.
Since Warwick Group has a cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering, there is an entry and exit permit from the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering on the window of the Audi car. Therefore, the guard in the duty room of the family compound took a look at the entry and exit permit and let it go without saying a word.
After Zhang Wenqing was promoted to the deputy director, he moved into the director's building with two bedrooms and one living room, with an area of 90 square meters. Zhao Dongsheng parked the car downstairs, carried the gifts upstairs, and pressed the doorbell of the resident with the letter "Hong Kong" on the left side of the third floor.
"Lao Liu, you belong to Cao Cao. Everyone was talking about you just now, and as he was talking, you boy came. You are so busy, I thought you will come tomorrow." A moment later, a tall and handsome young man opened the door and punched Zhao Dongsheng on the shoulder with a smile. He was the groom Zhang Wenqing.
"What are you busy with? Boss, you get married, why dare I not come to help?" Zhao Dongsheng laughed when he heard this.
"You boy, your mouth is getting worse and worse now." Zhang Wenqing also laughed, very satisfied with Zhao Dongsheng's flattery, and at the same time he felt very happy.
Although Zhao Dongsheng's personality has become much cheerful than before, he is no longer the taciturn person he used to be, and now he is in a high position. He is already the deputy mayor and the best one among his classmates, but his friendship in the past has not changed. In front of him, Zhao Dongsheng is not the deputy mayor or the president of Warwick Group, but the sixth in the dormitory.
The hall is decorated happily, with colorful balls and ribbons on the roof, which is the most fashionable decoration at present. A group of young people are sitting in front of a color TV, watching the TV while eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Second, third brother, when did you arrive?" After Zhao Dongsheng entered, he smiled and said to the two young men inside who were laughing at the girl beside him. These two people were Wu Bin, the second brother in the dormitory and Sun Dashan, the third brother in the dormitory.
After Wu Bin graduated, he went to a large state-owned enterprise in Shuchuan Province, while Sun Dashan went to a northwest enterprise under the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Both of them were far away from the capital, but they didn't expect to arrive first.
"Old Liu!" Wu Bin and Sun Dashan were just talking to the girls, and the sound from the TV was a little loud, so they didn't notice Zhang Wenqing and Zhao Dongsheng's conversation. Seeing Zhao Dongsheng appear, the two walked forward happily and hugged Zhao Dongsheng.
Due to work, since graduating from college, Zhao Dongsheng, Wu Bin and Sun Dashan only went by phone. This was the first time they met. Unlike Zhang Wenqing, the fourth brother Du Shaowei, and the fifth brother Lei Ming, they both stayed in the capital after graduation, and they had gathered with Zhao Dongsheng, who came to Beijing to do business several times during this period.
After graduation, Du Shaowei joined a Precision Instrument Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lei Ming finished his master's degree in school and was sent to MIT in the United States to study for a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering last year.
Zhang Wenqing got married this time, even if Lei Ming was far away in the United States, he came back specially. He arrived tomorrow afternoon, just in time for Zhang Wenqing's wedding. This shows the deep friendship between the six of them. This is also the most common phenomenon for college students in the 1980s. Unlike those college students after the 1990s, there are many fame and fortune in their friendship.
Seeing Zhao Dongsheng coming, the men and women in the room stood up one after another and looked at Zhao Dongsheng with interest. It was the first time they saw Zhao Dongsheng and were full of curiosity about him.
Zhao Dongsheng sat on the sofa and chatted and laughed with the people in the room without any airs, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed, especially the girls on the scene, chattering with Zhao Dongsheng, and from time to time they were amused by Zhao Dongsheng's funny words.
Zhang Wenqing's wife is named Li Mei. Zhao Dongsheng has known each other for a long time. She is the girlfriend Zhang Wenqing talked about in college. She graduated from Beijing Normal University. She is now assigned to teach in a key high school in Beijing. The two have experienced five years of long-distance love run and finally bear fruit today.
With his tall and handsome appearance and eloquent appearance, Zhang Wenqing had many girlfriends in college and was a famous love saint in the school. In the eyes of Zhao Dongsheng and others, I don’t know how many innocent girls were “harmed” by him.
However, as the saying goes, "Brained tofu is something that will bring down another thing." Since Zhang Wenqing met Li Mei, who was two years younger than him in his senior year, he fell in love with Li Mei wholeheartedly, and then turned to justice, ending his career as a "prodigal son".
Li Mei is from Jiangnan. She is pure and beautiful. She is an absolute beauty in Jiangnan. No wonder she was able to capture Zhang Wenqing.
"Sister Li, does Mr. Zhao have no girlfriend yet?" Because he is busy getting married, Li Mei has been busy in the family yard of the Ministry of Mechanical Works these days. While she was washing fruits in the kitchen, several girls followed her, and one of the tall girls asked with a smile.
"I don't know if he has a girlfriend, but if you think you can win Miss Wu from Warwick Group, then I'm willing to help you." These girls are sisters with good relationships with Li Mei. Today, Li Mei came to help. Li Mei understood what they meant and felt that they were going to make an idea of Zhao Dongsheng, so she said with a smile.
"Sister Li, where do you want to go? We want to introduce him to his girlfriend and be a matchmaker." Several girls immediately denied it and left in a chattering manner. They seemed to have retreated. Compared with Wu Wen, they really have no confidence, because Wu Wen is far superior to them in terms of appearance, temperament, and ability.
Looking at the girls' backs leaving, Li Mei smiled, shook her head and continued to wash the fruits. She found that Zhao Dongsheng was like a different person compared to when she was in college. At that time, Zhao Dongsheng blushed when he talked to the girl. Now he could make the girl happy with ease and be very fond of her.
Just as Li Mei brought the washed fruit to the hall, the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw a beautiful woman with long hair and a young man with a split hair standing at the door.
"Tingting!" Li Mei hugged the woman happily when she saw her long-haired, "When did you return to China?"
"The plane this afternoon." The long-haired woman said with a smile, "Congratulations, bride."
"Wenqing, see who is coming." Li Mei then pulled the woman with a long hair to the hall and said to Zhang Wenqing with a smile.
"Oh, the school beauty is here, it makes the humble house shine brightly!" Zhang Wenqing walked over with a smile when she heard this, and stretched out her hands at the long-haired woman, "How about it, have a Western-style hug."
"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of kneeling on the washboard at night." The long-haired woman chuckled and stretched out her hands generously.
"Forget it, let's shake hands." Zhang Wenqing gave up the hug with a smile and held the hand of the woman with long hair, "Huangfu Yiting, welcome you back to China."
"Congratulations, groom." Huangfu Yiting smiled slightly and handed him the gift in her hand, "This is my wedding gift, I hope you like it."
"As long as it is Miss Huangfu's gift, Mei'er and I like it." Zhang Wenqing took the gift with a smile, then let go of his hand, and pointed to Zhao Dongsheng who stood up. "Miss Huangfu, do you still remember him? It was this kid who broke the head of the gangster leader with one brick."
"Zhao Weiguo!" Huangfu Yiting saw Zhao Dongsheng at this time and was slightly stunned. It was obvious that she did not expect to meet him here, and her eyes suddenly showed a complicated look.
"Huangfu Yiting, welcome you back to China." Zhao Dongsheng walked over and stretched out his hand to Huangfu Yiting with a smile. He had already remembered what Zhang Wenqing said.
