Chapter 103: Lucky Man Falls from the Sky (Seeking First Order of Monthly Tickets)
"director"

In an office in the east building of the Capital Hotel, Manager Qi respectfully pushed open the door of an office.

"Lao Qi?"

"Come in, is there something going on down there?"

Director Sun, who was sitting in the office, asked with a serious expression.

Qi Danian was in charge of the catering and front office of the East Building. When he came up, the director subconsciously thought something had happened downstairs.

After all, there are no trivial matters when it comes to foreign affairs, especially in a hotel like theirs, where most of the people staying are dignitaries from various countries or foreign celebrities, and they all have to be treated with great care.

"Director, nothing happened. Something happened downstairs today. I think it's a good thing, but I still need your advice."

Qi Danian spoke cautiously to Director Sun, and Director Sun frowned.

"What do you think."

"There is a man named Li Changhe who has come to us. He is a student of the Department of Political Science and Economics at Peking University and a member and staff member of the Writers Association."

Hearing this, Director Sun was a little confused: "Are you saying that he is a student of Peking University or a member of the Writers Association?"

"He's a student, so it's fine if he's a member of the Writers Association, but how come he's also a staff member of the Writers Association?"

This, holding multiple positions?

Qi Danian shook his head: "I don't know either. By the way, last time Mr. Zhang from Rongbaozhai brought someone to dinner, he was the one he brought. He said at the time that he was a junior of his family."

“It feels like he has too many identities.”

Director Sun also nodded, agreeing with Qi Danian's words. This was also related to Zhang Shiqi.

But he continued, "It's okay, go on, what's wrong?"

"It's Li Changhe's wife. She works at the Union Hospital in front. He picks her up every weekend. He wants to come and help with reception at our front desk. If there are English-speaking guests, he wants to practice English."

"Of course, the most important thing is that if we need it, he can take the initiative to help us train our waiters in English."

"Training in English?"

Director Sun was a little surprised when he heard Qi Danian's words.

"Yes, didn't you say last time that we need to improve our waiters' English level as soon as possible to cope with more complex reception tasks?"

"I never thought that Li Changhe would come today and volunteer to help us with English training. I thought that since he is a student of Peking University and was admitted to Peking University last year through the college entrance examination, and he is also a writer, this identity should be suitable, so I thought of coming here to ask for your advice."

Qi Danian finished speaking carefully.

Director Sun seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment he asked, "Is he just doing this to improve his spoken English?"

Qi Danian nodded: "I think so. He can only come here on weekends and during the summer vacation. I guess he wants to pick up his wife from get off work. He means that if he has nothing to do, he seems to be planning to write some manuscripts."

"I asked him when I came up. Although he is young, he is a new novelist. He is very famous among young people. Many waiters know him."

"This guy's novels are exclusively published in People's Literature. By the way, the waiter below said that his college entrance examination essay was also published in People's Daily."

"Director, I think that college students who can appear in the People's Daily must be honest."

"If we let him come, not only can he help us train our waiters' English, but if he can write about our Jingcheng Hotel when he creates, that would actually be a good thing."

When Director Sun heard Qi Danian's suggestion, his eyes lit up.

Indeed, for a foreign-related hotel like theirs, doing things poorly is a mistake, but doing things well is what they should do.

It is very difficult to get praise and recognition from above, after all, there are more than one foreign-related hotels in Beijing, such as Qianmen Hotel, Xinqiao Hotel, Friendship Hotel, etc., which are all rivals. If Li Changhe can really praise him in "People's Literature", it will definitely be an honor for them in this era.

Director Sun lowered his head again and saw the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" reprinted in the People's Daily.

As a senior executive of the Capital Hotel, he actually knew more.

This article was actually first published in the internal documents of D School, then reprinted in Guangming Daily, and then People's Daily and Jiefang J Daily.

For Director Sun, he knew very well what this meant.

“Letting Peking University students practice spoken English, does this count as practice?”

Director Sun's mind suddenly began to ponder as if it were a mirror.

What's more, the other party is doing the work on a voluntary basis and has no other intentions, so this can also be considered as voluntary dedication.

This can be done!
But even though he had made up his mind, Director Sun still said to Qi Danian seriously, "Old Qi, in principle, I think we can do this, although we have never had anything like this before."

"But I think this matter should still be reported to the higher-ups, to let them know about it and see if they want to investigate. Please draft a report for me and I will submit it under my name."

"Oh, okay, I'll prepare the report when I get back."

In fact, the report was in Qi Danian's clothes, but he did not take it out.

He also planned to consider when to submit this report after seeing Director Sun's attitude.

If the other party agrees and says firmly that it can be done, he will take it out immediately.

But if the other party hesitates and is undecided, he will have to wait a while before taking it.

If you totally disagree, then don't take it.

In short, don't appear to have better ideas than others!
This is Qi Danian's way of survival and stability here.

On the other side, Li Changhe sat in the cafe until the afternoon, and then when he saw that it was almost time, he got up and left.

He didn't expect Manager Qi to give him an answer today. After all, this kind of thing must be reviewed at various levels.

Li Changhe estimated that the review would be conducted in schools, as it is so strict these days.

He was just waiting here for Zhu Lin to get off work.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Changhe got up and left the Beijing Hotel.

But this time, just after he walked out the door and had not gone far, a young man who looked slightly older than Li Changhe came trotting over and blocked Li Changhe's way.

"Dude, bro, wait!"

Li Changhe looked at the young man who was blocking his way and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Is there anything wrong?"

"Don't be nervous, buddy. My last name is Li Chunping, and I'm also a native of Beijing."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to see that you can get into the Capital Hotel. You're pretty awesome, bro."

"Here's what I'm doing. I have a few old items at home that came from the Qing Palace in the early years. I'm wondering if you're interested. We can sell them to the foreigners there together and split the profits. How about that?"

Li Chunping whispered to Li Changhe at this time, and Li Changhe looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

Oh my god, it turned out to be him who stopped me?

That lucky guy who is said to be the template for the protagonist of online novels?
