Chapter 1272 The matter of the international port
"It's almost time. Is there a place to change clothes in the hotel?" Danny was signaling to drive, and Li Zitao finally put down the documents at hand.
Work cannot be done today, and today's work has ended here. Next, he will prepare for the meeting tonight.
He needs to read in his mind in advance what to say, what to talk about, and what problems he will encounter.
"Are there...we're we going back to the hotel?" Shalin was like a puppet, completely following the other party's arrangements.
"Yes, there is an important banquet in Bosting tonight. Don't you know?" Li Zitao looked at her figure and smiled, "And you are my female companion."
"Oh~" Shalin nodded foolishly, but she felt a little happy.
Female companion!
She became the other party's female companion. Although it was just a temporary title and identity, not everyone could do it.
If Li Zitao openly recruits a female companion, the woman who came to apply for the job could crush Manhattan Island and jump into the vortex. This is the reality...
Knowing that she was his female companion tonight, Shalin was happy and suddenly became anxious, 'Is my image okay? Is the makeup suitable? Fortunately, I just chose a dress... but is it suitable for tonight? Should I make hair...'
The thoughts in her mind went one by one, and they kept moving around endlessly. When she was taken back to the hotel by Li Zitao and walked into the locker room, Shalin suddenly woke up.
"By the way, change your clothes... hurry up, hurry up." Shalin hurriedly took care of her image.
Changing her dress and putting on makeup...Salin also deliberately tied her hair up like she did when she was working, because this would make her look more elegant and solemn.
Maybe it would be just an ordinary dinner later, but it would be different for Shalin. She attaches importance to the meeting tonight than anything she encountered in her life before.
"Wow..." As soon as Shalin got dressed up, the door of the locker room was pushed open. Several waiters who had been with her rushed in and looked at her luxurious dress with envy.
"Sharin, you... are really beautiful."
"Yes, Shalin, you will become the most shining protagonist of the restaurant tonight. In the future, countless people will come to the restaurant to have dinner in order to get to know you."
"Are you guys very idle? Are you doing your job?" Shalin patted off her hands in the dress, but the smile on her face was filled with joy.
Ever since putting on the dress and putting on Tiffany's necklace and earrings, she felt that her whole temperament had changed.
The waist is straighter than usual, and she becomes careful and elegant when walking, and even her head is raised a little higher than usual.
It was obviously not intentional, but it just became like this for no reason, as if these external objects had changed her entire thought.
"Everything is ready, Your Highness, your prince and your guests are waiting outside... They have booked the second floor and were received by the manager in person."
Someone revealed the news from outside to Shalin, which made her feel very prepared. The scene outside looked quite big.
"How do I look?" Shalin asked with her back with one hand, standing sideways and raised her shoulders, looking up like a model.
"Perfect..." Everyone said in unison.
"What are you waiting for? It's time to come on stage." Shalin joked, and was also cheering herself up. She had never experienced today's scene. She felt seriously lacking in self-confidence and was afraid that she would be embarrassed because of some etiquette she didn't understand.
The more important thing is to lose Charlie's face. Shalin is very confident in her work. But she also knows that if she had not been taken care of by the other party and asked her to take charge of her own market every time, she would not have been able to become the foreman so quickly, let alone get a tip of hundreds of yuan.
At the same time, Li Zitao is chatting and laughing with two shareholders from Qatar International Port Company. This is their first meeting since the company was established.
Qatar occupies two board seats in the company, holding 19% of the shares, the two people from the Althani family and the Athya family respectively.
Althani is the royal family of Qatar, and Atya is its right-hand man. His family once had a queen and was also a member of the royal family. He is in power in Qatar.
The shares of Qatar International Port are in the hands of these two prominent families. Because of the establishment of the International Port, the originally loose relationship between the two families has become firm again.
For this reason, every time the International Port holds a shareholders' meeting, people often come up with this to say, "The International Port has also made great contributions to the stability of Qatar."
This is true. If it weren't for the timely establishment of the international port, two families that occupy a large amount of Qatar's resources and have power and financial resources might have been fighting to the death now.
Without the temptation and stimulation of overseas markets, Qatar can only be closed, how can it avoid the weakness of the dark human nature? Fighting in the nest.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so no one can understand such a simple truth.
"Charlie first..." Shalin, wearing a long silver dress, walked up the stairs and appeared in front of everyone.
"Sharin, come here." Li Zitao smiled and hooked his hands. After she got closer, she hugged her waist and said, "This is my female companion, Ms. Shalin McGee."
"Pilati Khalid Al Thani...Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani, they are members of the International Hong Kong Stock Exchange and just arrived in the United States today."
"America welcomes your arrival, Mr. Pilates...Mr. Abdullah." Shalin took the initiative to reach out to greet them.
But unexpectedly, Pilates with a big bearded face gently held her hand, bent down and held it in front of her eyes, and gently touched it with her lips. Abdullah then used the same kissing gift to express her appreciation for Shalin and her sincerity in this meeting.
"Please sit down!" Pilates and Abdullah did not introduce their female companions, and they looked a bit like someone specially hired.
The expressions were artificial, the behavior was dull, and the behavior was worse than her, which made Shalin feel relieved.
"Charlie, America is a beautiful country, I have fallen in love with it... I don't know when my hometown will become like this."
After everyone took their seats, Pilates' topic suddenly turned to the issue of his hometown, and his obedient voice seemed to have something in his words.
"As long as you work hard, any dream will come true. As long as you work hard with disdain, I believe that one day you will succeed."
Without blinking his eyelids, Li Zitao fed him a night of sweet chicken soup, and he ate Pilates and Abdullah with relief and full recognition.
No one really thinks that their hometown is bad. Qatar is very backward now, but it doesn’t mean they will always be like this.
This time they came to the United States not only to meet Li Zitao, but also to have more important tasks waiting to be completed.
Chapter completed!
