One night without words, the next morning, Feng Xiaotian came to the entrance of Sanjiang Hotel. He changed into his best clothes today - actually, it was the school uniform that the school gave out for free, which was the only decent clothes he had. The school uniform originally had two sets, one of which was torn apart when it fell into the sewer a few days ago, and Feng Xiaotian had regretted it at that time.
Although he had changed into his school uniform, Feng Xiaotian's image at this moment was still a bit shabby, but it was much better than last night. He arrived at the Sanjiang Hotel at 7:30 in the morning, half an hour before his appointment with Dai Feier. With nothing to do, Feng Xiaotian sat on a stone bench waiting.
After a while, a large motorcade arrived at the hotel entrance. Feng Xiaotian looked up and saw that it was led by a red flag sedan. When the car stopped, a thin middle-aged man got out from inside. Feng Xiaotian only took one glance and felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Behind the Red Flag sedan, most of them were Santana. The people in the car got out one after another and surrounded this middle-aged man to enter the Sanjiang Hotel. Feng Xiangtian watched these people enter one by one, thinking: These people won't be looking for Mr. Mei Long, will they? What if Mr. Mei Long wants to take Dai Fei out to participate in some activities, then I'll have made a wasted trip today?
Feng Xiao Tian's worry is not unreasonable, just now he saw very clearly that the people who got off the car were all in an official manner, and it would take so many officials to personally take action, currently in the entire Sanjiang, it seems like only Mr. Mei Long is left?
Just then, several drivers from the motorcade stood aside smoking and chatting, one of them said: "It seems that the municipal leaders really attach great importance to Mr. Mellon, even Secretary Huang came out in person."
Another person chimed in: "Of course, I've heard that Mr. Mellon is no ordinary person, and even in the United States, he's considered a wealthy man!"
The third person heard this and smiled: "I heard him say something last night when I sent Secretary Guo here. It's said that Mr. Mellon is visiting China to investigate the investment environment, and Sanjiang is his fourth stop. He previously went to Jingcheng, Linjiang, and Anxi. Not me saying it, but Jingcheng and Linjiang have more advantages than us in Sanjiang. The only one that's a bit weaker is Anxi. I reckon we don't stand a chance this time."
A driver heard this and chuckled: "It's not necessarily like that, we also have a card to play."
Others looked puzzled and someone asked: "What card can be played?"
The driver continued to smile and said mysteriously, "The municipal party committee leaders have made a very detailed analysis of Mr. Mellon and have already thought of a countermeasure - you've all heard that Mr. Mellon has a very beautiful daughter, right? The key to whether this investment is successful or not lies in the hands of this young lady!"
Everyone else looked puzzled upon hearing this, and the driver saw that everyone's curiosity had reached its peak. He didn't keep them in suspense any longer and told them everything: "Mr. Mellon is a big boss who usually makes decisions quickly. The only thing he's not good at is spoiling his daughter rotten - for example, one time Mr. Mellon's daughter went to an exhibition and fell in love with a ruby on display, so what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"As a result, his daughter didn't even open her mouth, she just stared at the gemstone for two minutes, and Mr. Mellon bought it on the spot, then gave it to his own daughter as a birthday gift! — Do you know how much money he spent?"
"How much?"
"Almost two million dollars!"
"Hiss——"
"So, as long as we can get along well with Mr. Mellon's daughter, maybe we'll have a chance this time. I heard that the municipal party committee has already arranged for someone to accompany Mr. Mellon's daughter, and if she's interested, our people will try their best to satisfy her."
Feng Xiao Tian listened to these people telling others' stories, at first he thought it was quite interesting, but later on he became tense: What? Someone who steals business has arrived? The municipal party committee leaders actually came up with such a method to win over Mr. Mei Long, in that case... wouldn't I be out of a job?
Just then, a large group of people came out from the Sanjiang Hotel. Feng Xiaotian looked up and saw that the officials had already surrounded Mr. Mei Long and his entourage as they walked out, but he did not see Dai Feier in the crowd.
After these people got on the bus and left with laughter, Dai Feier finally walked out of the hotel, accompanied by the four bodyguards from yesterday, as well as two other Huaguo female youths. Needless to say, these two Huaguo female youths must be here to follow Feng Xiaotian and snatch business.
Feng Xiao Tian was a bit hesitant, unsure whether he should greet Dai Fei Er or not. His current situation was quite awkward, basically making him an extra person.
Just as Feng Xiao Tian was hesitating, Dai Fei Er caught sight of him. As she had received good family education, she still had the most basic politeness. She smiled slightly and greeted Feng Xiao Tian: "You're here, I've been waiting for a long time, right?"
Feng Xiao Tian smiled unnaturally and replied: "Not long, just half an hour..."
Dai Feier said somewhat unexpectedly: "You've come quite early, today I was planning to go out with these two sisters, why don't you join us too?"
Feng Xiang Tian originally thought that Dai Fei Er would politely decline him, but he didn't expect her to say that. As a result, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, the two Huaguo female youths standing behind Dai Fei Er spoke up first:
"Miss Dafei'er, with us around, isn't he a bit redundant?"
"Yes, and I don't know what he does either..."
Dai Feier hesitated upon hearing this, indeed as these two people said, she still didn't know what Feng Xiaotian did until now. Judging from last night's situation, he seemed to be a scavenger? However... how come he was wearing such clothes today?
Dai Feier didn't recognize the school uniform of Hua Guo, thinking of this she asked: "Mr. Feng, what do you do?"
Feng Xiao Tian heard the words and replied truthfully: "I am now a student, picking up scraps is just a means of making a living."
Feng Xiao Tian said it very calmly, not feeling embarrassed at all. This was the truth, after all, Dai Fei had already seen her own downfall last night, and she didn't have anything good to hide about it either.
The two Chinese girls behind Dai Feier immediately burst out laughing upon hearing this, and after a few chuckles, one of them directly said in Mandarin: "Hurry up and leave, what's a trash collector like you doing here?"
Another person chimed in: "Exactly! With your appearance, aren't you afraid of losing face for the Chinese people?"
These two were both beautiful girls in their twenties, but the words they spoke and the expressions on their faces made people feel disgusted. Originally, Feng Xiao Tian had only wanted to follow Dai Fei Er around and earn the $200, but after hearing what the two said, he gave up on that idea.
Feng Xiao Tian Xin said: What's so proud of? Aren't they just two tour guides who can speak English? What business do I have with you and Dai Fei Er? Even if it's a competition, what you've done is too much! Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Just wait and see if you'll still be smiling later!
