Chapter 135 Unbeknownst to many, they have become a dark horse!
At 10 a.m., downstairs at Yonghui Mall, the lime blind box stall had already opened.
But the two prominent young leaders, Li Minghao and Zheng Junjie, were nowhere to be seen today; only a few of the usual staff members were present.
This is because both of them went to the Qingcheng Grand Hotel to attend the Qingning summary meeting.
Qingcheng Hotel is now the most upscale hotel in Yancheng, with 27 floors!
There are hotel rooms for accommodation on the upper floor, a lobby on the first floor, a restaurant on the second floor, and private rooms on the third floor.
But today the entire second floor was booked out. The company that booked the second floor was a company that many bosses in Yancheng had never heard of: Qingning Blind Box.
However, they now know that it wasn't just Qingning who booked the entire second floor.
Moreover, when they tried to book a private room on the third floor to have dinner and discuss business, they were told that the private rooms were not open for business that day.
Some people noticed that the third floor was empty and not open for business.
But the result was that it was not open for business, so it was not open for business.
The boss, who had connections everywhere, made a phone call to the major shareholder of Qingcheng Hotel.
"What's going on in Qingcheng? Last time I wanted to book all your private rooms, but you said you couldn't book them all. Why did you book them for Qingning today?"
The major shareholder of Qingcheng claimed that he was innocent and that he really did not lease the third floor to Qingning.
The official statement is that the second floor has been given to Qingning, and the third floor will be inspected today and is not allowed to operate. However, if Qingcheng Hotel has any objections, it can continue to operate.
Then the officials will have to help him check the fire safety.
Firefighting is something that people outside the industry don't understand. It's a complex issue that can't be explained in a few words, and many hotel owners have died because of it.
It's all too easy for the authorities to obstruct your fire safety efforts.
If you can't pass the fire safety inspection, you can't operate and you have to close down.
Therefore, the major shareholder of Qingcheng Hotel compromised without hesitation, and the third floor will not be open for business today.
They had no idea that the owner of the Lime Blind Boxes was supposedly just a young man, and where did he get such power to get the authorities to block their fire safety measures?
But actually, the authorities are just trying to scare them; there's no need to actually block them. As long as they don't operate today and clear the venue, that's fine.
After all, Qingning Blind Box is going to do something big today. Qingning Blind Box is a rising star in tax payment in Yancheng. Helping Qingning grow is helping Yancheng grow.
Moreover, the owner of Qingning Blind Box is wholeheartedly optimistic, pays excessive taxes, and never uses any tricks, not even reasonable ones.
I'm afraid of paying too little tax!
These are the kind of entrepreneurs that the people and the government should support!
At this moment, the area outside Qingcheng Hotel was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
People passing by stared at it curiously.
Many people were discussing the banner in front of the hotel.
"This name sounds familiar, but I just can't remember which company it belongs to."
"Hey Qingning, do you know the place downstairs at Yonghui that sells blind boxes?"
"Oh, I remember now, wow, those street vendors are doing so well?"
"What do you know? They've expanded all over the country; we're just one of their stalls."
"Look, look at that car, it's so cool!"
"Wow, it's huge! Is some important person here?"
A black minivan pulled up in front of the hotel.
The car door opened, and Jiang Cheng got out of the car.
The security guards at the entrance stood ramrod straight, and the female receptionist in a cheongsam immediately gestured for them to enter.
Behind Jiangcheng, Ye Lingxi and Su Qingrou also came down one after another.
People who stopped to watch the drama unfold all had their eyes light up as they stared at the two women.
"Wow, those legs are absolutely amazing!"
"Is this a celebrity invited from Hong Kong? What a grand entrance!"
"No wonder she's the big boss's woman, she's definitely different from ordinary people."
"Who is that young man in front of us? Why is he walking ahead of these two beautiful women?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't we say that the owner of Qingning is very young? Then he must be the owner of Qingning!"
"He's so young. He's eating so well. He's so young. I wonder if he understands what he's eating."
"What, you don't understand how to eat? You want to help him eat? Look in the mirror."
……
Today, both Ye Lingxi and Su Qingrou are wearing cheongsams.
Ye Lingxi's dark red dress, combined with her fresh and beautiful face, made her an absolute beauty.
Su Qingrou, on the other hand, was more charming, yet she wore a pure white cheongsam, which made her appear dignified and elegant.
The moment the two got out of the car, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
But their gazes quickly shifted to Jiang Cheng.
This is what a man should look like!
Handsome!
A woman of such quality could only obediently follow behind.
One after another, there are two!
Jiang Cheng led Su Qingrou and Ye Lingxi through the hall.
At the elevator entrance, a staff member had already pressed the elevator button and was waiting.
Once they were in the elevator, the waiter stepped aside.
"I should have had you review it a couple of days ago. Why all the fuss?" Jiang Cheng said, glancing at Su Qingrou in the elevator.
All the meeting arrangements were handled by Su Qingrou.
Jiang Cheng didn't think formalities were important, so he didn't even look at the plan and handed it all over to Su Qingrou.
And that's how it turned out; the spectacle made Jiangcheng blush with embarrassment.
However, to be honest, lime really does deserve it.
At least, they haven't boarded a helicopter yet; they've just booked a hotel as the venue.
After exiting the elevator and walking through a corridor, you will reach the lobby of the venue.
Jiang Cheng walked in and glanced around; there were still more than half the people in the venue.
Jiang Cheng thought he had arrived ahead of schedule, but he didn't expect there to be so many people who had arrived earlier than him.
"President Jiang, President Jiang is here!"
"boss!"
"Hi boss!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
From the moment the first person discovered Jiangcheng, the people in the venue immediately shouted excitedly.
Jiang Cheng walked inside with a smile, occasionally greeting those who called out to him.
"Boss, thank you! Thank you, you saved me!"
"Boss, I'll be your slave for the rest of my life!"
"President Jiang! Waaaaah~"
Some people started crying uncontrollably. Jiang Cheng saw this and didn't know what to say. He could only smile and nod, and walk inside unhurriedly.
Ye Lingxi, following behind Jiang Cheng, was also deeply moved by the scene.
She recognized many of these people; they used to be employees at her factory.
But now, they're all following Jiang Cheng to sell blind boxes, and their profits are comparable to those of some small business owners in this era.
How could I not be grateful to Jiangcheng?
But some people sat in their chairs, unmoved, their gazes calm as they watched Jiang Cheng.
"President Jiang, this is sweet potato starch from my hometown, which my mom called 'the sweet potato starch.' I brought it to you this time. I didn't have anything else to give you, but my mom insisted that I bring it for you to eat."
A man stood in front of Jiang Cheng, his eyes red as he looked at him and said, carrying a large bag in his hand, from which you could see that the sweet potato noodles inside were very long.
Jiang Cheng smiled and declined, saying, "I appreciate the thought, but I don't accept gifts."
I was thinking to myself, "Why can't I just give the boss a red envelope?"
Your boss is materialistic; a simple solution will suffice.
