Shi Zhijian took a puff of a cigarette, and slowly spit it out: "How to do it? Take money! Aren't those ghosts greedy for money? Find a middleman, or you can do it yourself and ask him how much he wants?!"

Qiu Jiawen smiled, "I'm sorry, as far as I know, this ghost man Bai Ligao is a freak. He likes everything, but he doesn't like money!"

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, with a hint of inexplicable surprise in his eyes, and lightly crushed the cigarette into the ashtray, "This is the first time I've heard that ghosts in Hong Kong don't love money!"

"Then you've heard about it now." After Qiu Jiawen finished speaking, she tidied up her skirt and got up, "That's the end of today's date, and I've already said what I need to say. As for how you deal with that ghost Bai Ligao? Your business. I just want you to know that our contract has come into effect, and your loan interest will be calculated from tomorrow!"

Shi Zhijian nodded and got up from his chair, "Shall I see you off?"

"No need, thank you!"

"Then can I ask you one last question?"

"what is the problem?"

"I'm curious, why did Mr. Qiu let you come here to discuss such an important matter?"

"Can't I be his personal secretary?"

"sure."

"Farewell!"

"No!"

After Qiu Jiawen turned around and left, Shi Zhijian spit out: "Your surname is Qiu, and his surname is also Qiu, what a ghost secretary!"

Over there, Qiu Jiawen came to the cashier of the western restaurant to ask for the bill.

The cashier looked at the record and told her: "Hi lady, your bill has been settled by the man just now."

"Huh?" Qiu Jiawen was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Shi Zhijian, only to see Shi Zhijian sitting there, leaning over and waving playfully at her.

...

Myth Food & Beverage Company.

Now the recruitment work arranged by Liu Jianxiong has been completed, except for Shi Zhijian's personal secretary, almost all the staff are in place.

The reason why Shi Zhijian didn't choose a suitable private secretary was mainly because he thought it would be appropriate for Su Youwei to do it for the time being. Although this little girl was a little ignorant, she was very obedient, especially when Shi Zhijian was depressed and irritable, she always liked to tease her tease her. After teasing, Shi Zhijian will immediately feel happy physically and mentally, which is more effective than taking any panacea.

In addition, Su Youwei is also a quick learner, at least she has learned all the basic etiquette of receiving people and things, and she is now practicing them.

At this time, in the general manager's office, Shi Zhijian frowned and looked at the personal information of the senior consultant of the Water Supplies Department, "Poligo".

Paligo, 48 years old, from Birmingham, England, born in the Royal Navy, has no bad habits, simple and boring living habits, goes to church to pray once on weekends, and occasionally takes his family out for a meal, other than going to work, off work , Then just stay at home reading, reading newspapers, listening to music.

From Shi Zhijian's analysis, this is completely an otaku with no flaws.

Everyone knows that now that the director of the Water Supplies Department is about to retire, the power has already been delegated to this so-called "senior consultant".

To put it more bluntly, in the future, Mr. Perrigo will be the successor of the next director of the Water Supplies Department. The so-called "consultant" is actually a handover process.

Therefore, if Shi Zhijian wants to win the land and build a factory, he must get through the barrier of Paligo.

Since the dry road is impassable, take the waterway.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian took out another document and read it.

This information is about Bai Ledi, the only daughter of Baili Gao. Bai Lidi is 21 years old this year. She was taught very strictly by her father Baili Gao. Likes to hang out in record companies, and occasionally goes to department stores to buy clothes, details are unknown!

"Isn't that the same as not saying anything?"

After reading these materials, Shi Zhijian was a little skeptical about life, and leaned back on the chair a little discouraged, kneading the center of his brows with his hands. Facing this ghost who is invulnerable to water and fire, he really has no way to do it.

At this time, Su Youwei came in with coffee, and Shi Zhijian immediately felt a stomachache when he saw the coffee.

After so many days, Shi Zhijian understood that Su Youwei's coffee was the legendary "Seven-step Broken Heart Powder", but he didn't know how she made it. The bitterness was simply indescribable.

Seeing his frowning face, Su Youwei said: "Mr. Shi, are you feeling unwell? I just made a cup of hot coffee, would you like some?"

Shi Zhijian pointed to the desk, asked her to put down the coffee first, and then asked, "Youwei, let me ask you a question, what do you girls like best?"

"Uh, what?" Su Youwei didn't understand.

"I ask you, such as handbags, clothes, and diamond rings, necklaces, etc., what do you like?"

Su Youwei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I understand the clothes, but what is a diamond ring? Can it be eaten?"

Shi Zhijian shut up, almost forgetting that this girl is from the sea, and her biggest dream is to have a pair of brand new shoes to wear.

Seeing that Shi Zhijian started to frown again, Su Youwei said timidly: "Mr. Shi, did I say something wrong?"

Shi Zhijian shook his head and said, "From now on, you can just call me brother Jian when there is no one else, don't let Mr. Shi come to Mr. Shi! By the way, can you recite the new poem I taught you?"

"Well, I can recite it!" Su Youwei's beautiful eyes lit up, and she recited to Shi Zhijian with her hands behind her back: "Liangzhou Ci, Tang, Wang Zhihuan. The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, an isolated city of Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame Yangliu? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass."

The sound is crisp and very loud.

Shi Zhijian nodded, "You can memorize well, can you write silently?"

Su Youwei nodded hurriedly, "Yes! I wrote it silently three times yesterday! The typo was copied five times according to your request!"

"Then what is the meaning of this poem?"

"I..." Su Youwei pouted, "I haven't fully understood yet."

Shi Zhijian stood up and said, "Youwei, it's not enough to memorize a poem like this, you have to understand its meaning! Especially the last sentence of this poem, "Spring breeze doesn't pass Yumen Pass, you know why spring breeze can't pass Yumen pass?" ?"

Su Youwei pouted and shook her head.

Shi Zhijian put a hand on her fragrant shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your Yumen Gate is so tightly guarded, how can the spring breeze blow in?"

Su Youwei nodded ignorantly, "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"I……"

"Okay, go down and think about the artistic conception of this poem. Don't be so rigid in learning poems, learn to draw inferences from one example, only in this way will you learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses!"

Su Youwei nodded, feeling that what Shi Zhijian said made sense, but she was too stupid to understand.

"Mr. Shi, oh no, brother Jian—the coffee is getting cold, don't forget to drink it!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely drink it if you rush it."

Su Youwei smiled beautifully, then left with her braids tossed.

...

As soon as Su Youwei left here, Smelly Yuming, who had only been working in the company for four or five days, came in with a bucket, a mop and a rag, first bowed respectfully to Shi Zhijian, then raised his head and said: "Mr. Can you help with the cleaning?"

Shi Zhijian looked at the time, it turned out that it was already off-duty time, no wonder Smelly Yuming brought the bucket over.

"If the ground is clean, there is no need to mop it. The window glass is a little dirty. Please help me wipe it."

"Okay, Mr. Shi."

"By the way, Brother Ming, are you still used to working here?"

"I'm used to it!" Smelly Yuming sighed towards the window glass, wiped the glass vigorously and said excitedly, "Working here is very comfortable, just need to do a good job of hygiene, and take care of two meals a day , I can still take it home if I can’t finish it! Especially the barbecued pork rice, Hong’er likes to eat it!”

Shi Zhijian smiled, "You just need to get used to it! Work hard, and if you do well, you'll be made a full-time member!"

Smelly Yuming immediately thanked him again.

Shi Zhijian picked up the coffee and thought, should he go against his conscience once and throw it away?

At this time, Smelly Yuming turned around and saw Shi Zhijian holding the coffee in a daze, so he couldn't help but said, "Mr. Shi, is the thing you're holding called coffee?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"In the past few days when I work in the company, I always see people drinking, but I have never drunk it." Smelly Yuming licked his lips, "So I am a little curious."

Shi Zhijian smiled and handed over the coffee, "Then do you want to try it?"

"Can I?"

"of course."

"That's so embarrassing!" Smelly Yuming said, but he had already put down the rag, wiped his work clothes vigorously with both hands, and then took the coffee handed over by Shi Zhijian with a flattering smile.

During this period of time, he was so curious, every time he saw those white-collar men and women in the office holding coffee and making a very sweet and delicious gesture of comfort, his cravings would come to his throat.

Guess, this coffee must be delicious, maybe the taste is the same as the fine nectar in storytelling.

At this moment, he couldn't care more about it anymore, and Smelly Yuming took a sip of coffee after taking it.

Then, the muscles on his face twitched, and the expression was too rich to describe.

"Are you still in the habit of drinking?" Shi Zhijian asked him.

"Yeah!" Smelly Yuming nodded violently with his mouth closed.

"Then have a few more sips."

Smelly Yuming managed to squeeze out a smile and swallowed a big mouthful of coffee, "This coffee is really delicious, I want to save it and drink it slowly."

Shi Zhijian nodded, "It's up to you, but drinking too much of this stuff hurts your stomach, so be careful." After speaking, he looked at his watch again, "I still have things to do, let's go first!"

Smelly Yuming nodded quickly, "Go slowly!"

After Shi Zhijian sorted out the documents and materials, he planned to go to the famous flea market in Hong Kong first. Since both Paligo and his daughter Boleti both like listening to music, they would go shopping for some old records.

This kind of thing neither looks shabby nor luxurious, but it is the best meeting gift.

That's right, Shi Zhijian planned to meet Bai Ligao.

As soon as Shi Zhijian opened the door and went out, the stinky Yuming behind him spat and spat, "What the hell is this? It's so hard!"
