977 [Reversal] On
Jiang Haoran is in his fifties, with thin hair and fat. Because he is doing business and drinking and accompanying guests all year round, his body is a little swollen, especially his eyes are yellow and his eyes are big and black, and he seems to have insufficient sleep all year round. However, no one dares to make fun of him, no one dares to underestimate him, and no one dares to tease him as a fool who can't wake up, because he is the head of the Jiang family in Pattaya and a famous "hotel tycoon" here.
Jiang Haoran is an old Chinese overseas who came to Thailand in the 1960s. At the beginning, he ran a small B&B in Pattaya. Then with the rise of Pattaya tourism industry, he used bank loans to build a resort hotel, and since then he made his first pot of gold.
Today, Jiang Haoran has five hotels in Pattaya and plans to raise funds to enter Bangkok and Chiang Mai, so he is called a "hotel tycoon".
At this time, when everyone saw him coming, they all made way.
Jiang Haoran walked to his son Jiang Yu and said angrily: "What are you still doing here? I didn't hear what I just said, our respected Mayor Wangchai is about to arrive!" His tone was a little anxious and impatient.
Jiang Yu looked embarrassed and hurriedly pointed at Song Zhichao and said, "I'm introducing friends to you."
Jiang Haoran then noticed Song Zhichao, looked up and down, frowned and said, "Who is it?"
Jiang Yu leaned forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Jiang Haoran frowned even more and said softly, "I told you not to be with these erratic people, you just don't listen!"
After saying that, he glanced at Song Zhichao disdainfully, held his hands behind his back and said, "That, who, we Jiang Yu still have something to do, so just eat and drink here--!"
Song Zhichao smiled and glanced at Yan Susu.
Yan Susu looked apologetic and her eyes were filled with worry.
Jiang Haoran also saw Yan Susu at this time, was slightly stunned, and then looked at his son with a sharp look.
His son once pursued Yan Susu, but he knew it.
To be precise, Jiang Haoran has strict control over his son Jiang Yu, especially in women. He has never liked him to pursue those low-end women.
Jiang Yu looked embarrassed and hurriedly came to his father's ear to explain, saying that he met by chance this time, and his wife Manting insisted on bringing them over.
Jiang Haoran's face was a little better, but his eyes became even more disdainful and annoying when he looked at Yan Susu and Song Zhichao.
Jiang Haoran ignored Song Zhichao and Yan Susu, and turned directly to remind Jiang Yu: "This time we entertain the mayor is crucial. If we want to enter Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we must ask the mayor to help us open the road and provide guarantees in the bank."
Jiang Yu nodded frequently after hearing this.
He knew clearly that the Jiang family had not opened many hotels, but they also borrowed a lot of money from the bank.
Now that the family wants to enter the two major cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, the financial aspects are even more important.
If the mayor had not guaranteed them, the banks would probably not have lended money, and the Jiang family's hotel plan would be completely ruined by then.
But Pattaya Mayor Wangcha has never been a good person to talk to. He holds a high position and generally looks down on Chinese people who run the hotel industry like them.
What's more, it is said that several other bosses from other industries are also trying to win over the mayor and want to ask him to provide guarantees and conduct financial financing.
As a result, the competition becomes more intense.
Before this, Jiang Haoran lowered his figure and personally invited the mayor to have a banquet many times, but Wangchai politely refused.
This time, he finally held a party with the help of his son Jiang Yu and his wife Bao Manting on the third anniversary of their marriage. Jiang Haoran sincerely invited Mayor Wangcha to come over again. If he couldn't seize the opportunity this time, he would really lose a lot.
While the father and son were having a secret conversation, they heard a commotion outside the hall, and then they heard someone shouting: "Mayor Wangcha is here!"
Suddenly, the entire banquet hall became quiet.
Jiang Haoran and Jiang Yu and his son did not expect that "Just say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive", so they quickly turned around and looked.
I saw that at the entrance of the hall, Pattaya Mayor Wang Cha, wearing a Thai dress and a big belly, was late.
Everyone around was busy and solemn.
Even Jiang Haoran couldn't help but stand up straight, waiting to welcome the mayor.
Jiang Yu was also very eyebrowed. Seeing this, he hurriedly took his wife Bao Manting's arm and walked towards the mayor Wangchai with a majestic look.
"Mayor, I sincerely welcome you here!" Jiang Yu hurriedly said with a smile on his face when he came to Wangchai.
Bao Manting also smiled and looked at Mayor Wangcha with a humble look.
But the mayor Wangchai didn't even look at them, and kept walking straight behind them.
Jiang Yu: “…”
Bao Manting: "..."
The couple was inevitably embarrassed, and they thought to themselves that they only saw their father, but they didn't even see them.
Looking at Jiang Haoran again, he didn't expect that Mayor Wangcha would walk straight towards him by his son, hurriedly thrusting his chest and bulging his belly, stretching out his hand, preparing to shake hands with Mayor Wangcha.
The others' eyes were all focused here.
But Mayor Wangcha strangely passed Jiang Haoran again, completely ignoring Jiang Haoran's hand stretched out, and his eyes didn't stop on him, and walked past him.
Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and was about to turn around to see what happened, but he heard Mayor Wangcha laughing and said, "Mr. Song, it's really you. I thought I had recognized the wrong person! Haha, I heard that you are busy with noble people, and I didn't expect to see you here!"
Jiang Haoran turned around and saw Mayor Wangchai holding the young man named Song Zhichao intimately greeting him. His face was bright, as if he had picked up some treasure. He had never seen such a bright smile on his face.
For a moment, Jiang Haoran was stunned.
Jiang Yu and Bao Manting were also stunned.
Those who once satirized Song Zhichao, but those who looked down on him were stunned.
Even Yan Susu, who was beside Song Zhichao, was stunned.
Everyone was surprised to see this dramatic scene, not understanding what was going on.
Looking at Song Zhichao again, he smiled at Wangchai and said, "You are polite, mayor! I have been in Pattaya for a few days, and I still remember the scene of your greetings to me that day."
After a pause, he said, "It just happened to be together with friends today. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Your friend? Who?" Wang Cha's fat face was full of oil and turned around, and then he saw Yan Susu standing beside Song Zhichao.
"This is your friend..." Mayor Wangcha looked Yan Susu up and down, and immediately praised: "It turns out that he is a great beauty. Only elite talents like Mr. Song are worthy of such a beauty!"
Faced with the sudden praise, Yan Susu was at a loss, but soon she calmed down and took the initiative to shake hands with Mayor Wangchai.
The eyes of the people next to him fell out.
Especially Bao Manting, his jealous eyes were blowing fire.
How could Mayor Wangcha be an ordinary person? What a glory it would be to be praised like this? Originally, that position should belong to him, but now...
As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Haoran didn't care about so much. Seeing that Song Zhichao and Yan Susu, who were not favored by him before, suddenly became popular in the eyes of Mayor Wangchai, he immediately said with the opportunity: "Hello, mayor, in fact, Mr. Song and Miss Yan are both guests invited by our Jiang Yu. By the way, this Miss Yan is also a classmate of our Manting, and they have a good relationship! Do you think so, Manting?!"
Jiang Haoran looked at his daughter-in-law, and his meaning was self-evident.
Bao Manting felt very aggrieved. She originally invited Yan Susu to come over to vent her anger, but now, she has to flatter her in turn, which makes her really hard to accept.
But looking at his father-in-law's stern expression, Bao Manting had to lower his head, walked over and humbly held Yan Susu's hand and said, "Yes, yes, I have always treated Susu like a relative - Susu, you should take more care of it in the future, our Jiang family will depend on you!" He murmured in a low tone.
Yan Susu looked at her like this and didn't know what to do.
On the contrary, Song Zhichao smiled and said, "Since this Miss Bao is so sincere, Su Su, you will help you in the future. After all, she is your classmate, right?"
Yan Susu nodded, which also made Bao Manting breathe a sigh of relief.
Mayor Wangcha was very happy to see this and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, you are our most honorable guest in Pattaya. If Pattaya receives your investment, its future economic achievements will definitely be limitless. It is better to do this. It is better to choose a date than to meet the day. Today I will invite you to have a meal. What do you think?" His eyes were full of expectations.
Song Zhichao thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Wang Cha couldn't hide his joyful look. He seemed to have won some big prize and intimately pulled Song Zhichao's arm towards the private room not far away.
Later, when Jiang Haoran saw that the mayor was about to leave, he couldn't help but say, "Mayor, look, I..."
Wangchai waved his hand and said, "Since Mr. Song is your guest, let's come together - it's more lively!"
He glanced at Jiang Yu next to Jiang Haoran and said, "You come with me too!"
Jiang Haoran was ecstatic. It was okay to say that he was invited by Mayor Wangchai, but his identity was placed where he was. However, his son Jiang Yu has always shown himself as a playboy, so he was not welcomed by Wangchai. If it weren't for Song Zhichao's recognition, Wangchai might not have invited him.
Jiang Yu's face was a little gloomy, but his wife Bao Manting was extremely happy when she heard this and forced him to follow her. She didn't want to miss the opportunity to get close to the powerful and powerful. You should know that the Thai hierarchy is very strict and cannot be squeezed in casually.
