Chapter 206 The jet lag thing
Zhang Yanming didn't sleep well at night and kept dreaming.
He woke up in the early morning, lit a cigarette and leaned on the bed in a daze.
But there is a saying that goes well, no one can control their own thinking, but we can control our own behavior. There are some things that we absolutely cannot do.
The human mind is a strange thing. The less likely and taboo it is, the more exciting it is and the easier it is to become interested. However, once you step into it, you will never recover.
I simply got up, took a shower, turned on the TV and watched the miserable lives of foreign people.
As a result, I fell asleep again at some unknown time, until I was woken up by a phone call.
"Sir, you are going to attend Mr. Smith's wedding today. The car has been prepared for you. There are still two and a half hours left. You still have time to eat something. Do you want me to help you bring it to your room?"
Zhang Yanming picked up the watch on the bedside and put it on his wrist. It was already past twelve o'clock.
I looked at my phone and saw two missed calls, both of which were Ruhr's numbers. I was about to call back, but then I thought of the time difference and it was already late at night over there, so I forgot about it.
How much sleep did I get when I returned to the cage? I didn't even hear the phone ring. Damn it.
And the discomfort with jet lag disrupted the entire rhythm.
"Sir?" Raul was still waiting on the other side of the phone.
"Oh, okay Raul, please bring some food to my room. Thank you." He put down the phone and ran to wash his face and brush his teeth, finally feeling a little more energetic.
In fact, this is a normal phenomenon for him. Although the first day of recovery was not affected by jet lag, there must be an adaptation process. Today is just a normal response of the body's biological clock.
Raul came in pushing a gleaming silver dining cart and helped him put the food on the table one by one. He stretched out his hand and gestured: "Please, sir."
Zhang Yanming went over to sit down and picked up the fork. His phone rang again. He bent over and took it over to look at it. It was Sun Hongye.
"Sister Hongye, you're still up so late."
"I called you but you didn't answer. I don't know your situation. Can I sleep?"
"I don't know what happened. I woke up very early in the morning and then fell asleep again. I didn't hear anything."
"It's basically settled. The four old buildings plus the land are worth RMB 30 million. There is a problem on Qingnian Street. A relatively complete piece of land can be designated for us, but it involves a branch road.
We took a map and looked at it. Of the four directions of the intersection, only this side involves the fewest roads. We just need to keep this branch road open. In other words, the entire project must be divided into two parts."
"It's okay." Zhang Yanming thought for a moment and nodded, "In that case, the northern and southern parts can be planned and designed separately, with the southern part being built as a high-end residential living area and the northern part being built as a central business district.
Okay, I roughly know the terrain, you can go to bed quickly."
"One more thing, do you know the location of the intersection of the road between the north and south blocks? There is a 6.5-acre square plot of land on Qingnian Street that needs to be peeled off. I heard that the place was just built for economic and trade purposes. Commissioned."
Zhang Yanming scratched his head and thought for a while: "Guomao, right? They built the two buildings and dared to call them Guomao, and then stripped them out. They really convinced these people of their self-feeling. Where did they get the confidence?"
"What should we do?"
"Either give it all to me, or forget it. I don't have to do this business. How about over there in Gangdu?"
"There's no problem over there. What's the problem? Nine acres of land have been allocated to us across the street. Here in the city, everyone is trying to move it, but there's no money. If you really come back to the city to invest, you'd probably dare to allocate it to us. You are half a city."
"Let it be like this. If it doesn't work here in the Ruhr, forget it. At the worst, build it here and move the company to the steel capital. Let's build our hometown. After that, there will be things to do everywhere in the capital and Shencheng. There is no need to fight with them."
"real?"
"Really. It makes me sick."
"Okay... OK. I'm going to bed then. I'm so sleepy. You should crawl back quickly. This day is so awkward."
"Yeah, I know. In vain."
After putting down the phone and finishing the meal as quickly as possible, Zhang Yanming and Raoul went downstairs to do their hair and change their clothes. It is really troublesome for foreigners to do things and they are too particular.
By the time Zhang Yanming packed up everything and rushed to the Catholic church, there were still ten minutes before the wedding started, so he was in a hurry.
Old Smith and his wife are greeting relatives and friends. Today, Old Smith has taken care of himself carefully. He is wearing a neat suit and his beard is meticulously trimmed. He looks particularly energetic. He is a handsome old man.
Mrs. Smith was wearing a dress, and the piece of Suzhou embroidery was draped on her shoulders. A group of ladies gathered around her to admire and admire them. These ignorant guys.
"Oh, Zhang, you were almost late." Old Smith hugged Zhang Yanming and then handed him over to a companion.
The bridesmaids and bridesmaids are responsible for the entire process and reception guidance at the wedding here. The chief best man and chief best friend also speak at the wedding dance, which is a very important link.
It is said that the crazy bachelor party before the wedding was also arranged by these two buddies...
It is completely different from marriages in China. The wedding here is paid for by the woman, and the man is only responsible for buying rings, buying his own clothes and swearing an oath, and the woman will prepare her own clothes.
If there is a rehearsal dinner before the wedding, the money will be spent by the man.
There is no such thing as giving money at weddings. Although there is a custom of giving money in some places, it is not the mainstream.
Here, the gifts are given in kind, and it is up to the Xinlang bride to decide what to give. A gift list will be given to the guests in advance, and everyone can choose what to give according to their own financial ability, and then register it with the Xinlang bride to avoid duplication.
Of course, you can make your own decision. Generally, they give you some bedding and daily necessities, and some give you sexy underwear and sex items. It depends on your daily relationship.
Before the wedding ceremony, the bride cannot see the bride's wedding dress. The bride has to prepare it secretly and then appear in front of the bride wearing it for the first time during the ceremony.
