Chapter 244 - 245 Peach Blossom (1)
Secretary Wang stepped back in fright as Qin Zhiyou once again turned around to wrestle with the keychain. He ultimately managed to get the little bear charm off, albeit at the cost of a chipped fingernail, and laboriously looped it onto his own keyring. Looking at the keys in his hand, he couldn’t help but think how good they looked.
He then turned his gaze toward Secretary Wang, who was still waiting. Qin Zhiyou caressed the keychain with his fingers before reluctantly passing it to the side. “Take it, park her car and return it immediately, then hurry back here. I’m only giving you two and a half hours. If you’re even a minute late…”
Secretary Wang quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Boss Qin, I’ll be back on time. And the Africa project department should be wrapping up by next month.”
Once the project was completed, he could no longer be threatened with being sent to Tanzania to feed elephants! He didn’t believe Qin Zhiyou would actually fine him!
“Oh, is that so?” Qin Zhiyou’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t seem angry, but merely chuckled, “No problem. Next month, our Hanhai Group is going to expand our business in South America. I think you’re very qualified and should do particularly well.”
South America… Secretary Wang rapidly went through several countries in his mind. It had to be better than Africa! He replied confidently, “If you want me to go, Boss Qin, I’ll not refuse.”
Hmph, let him throw that gauntlet back. He wanted to see what Qin Zhiyou had to say for himself.
Qin Zhiyou nodded, “Good. Then I’ll notify the overseas department. Speaking of which, this place is a newly popular tourist destination, quite a lot of people from different countries like to go there. It’s said the natural environment and the abundance of small animals are big draws.”
A place with many tourists from different countries, small animals…where was that? But it seemed like it might be a delightful place from what Boss Qin described.
Secretary Wang nodded, “Thank you for your consideration, Boss Qin. I’m quite passionate about public welfare and love small animals.”
Qin Zhiyou’s eyes sparkled, “You’re welcome. We at Hanhai are also planning to expand our business operations. Recently quite a lot of people have been going to Antarctica. And those who go there are all quite wealthy. Setting up a project there should bring in a good profit…”
“What?” As Secretary Wang listened, his hopes turned into shock,
“An… Antarctica?”
“Yes,” Qin Zhiyou replied seriously, “Specifically, Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. Almost everyone going to Antarctica stops there. It’s a place with mountains and seas, fresh air, and frequent sightings of whales and penguins. Since you’re passionate about public welfare and love small animals, it should be perfect for you.”
Of course, being so close to Antarctica, it’s bound to have a great natural environment and a large number of small animals. Secretary Wang ground his teeth together, “Thank you for your consideration, Boss Qin.”
Qin Zhiyou smiled and nodded, “You’ve been working with me for five years. Regardless of accomplishments, your hard work alone deserves recognition. If you decide to make the move, you’ll be in charge. You won’t be losing out. — Now, we’ve been talking for ten minutes. You have precisely two hours and twenty minutes left.”
Before Qin Zhiyou could finish, Secretary Wang grabbed the keys and sprinted back. He didn’t want to end up feeding penguins in Antarctica!
He paid for a taxi out of his own pocket and raced back to the Qin Mansion. Once inside, he quickly drove Young Madam’s car out and dashed to the Lulu Design Institute, where he ran inside, drenched in sweat.
On the first floor, he ran into Xiaochen, who was coming downstairs to get something.. She greeted him right away, “Hello, are you delivering something to Lu?”
