After Lao Zhang opened his new company in Munich, Lao Bai sent the name and website of the new company to Dong Qiangqiang and asked him to help find mistakes. On the "Management Team" page of the company's official website is a recent photo of Lao Zhang with a serious face. Next to the recent photo is a philosophical text about the company's modern management. There is bitterness and hatred between the lines. Those who don't know it may think it is. Who is the leader of a Fortune 500 company?
Dong Qiangqiang browsed around curiously. What surprised him was that although the other party was a small business, there was a lot of content on the website. In particular, Lao Zhang had also done a lot of social welfare activities, which made Dong Qiangqiang wonder about The other party was impressed.
He aimlessly clicked on the latest article under the "Company News" column. Under a few lines of text was a set of photos. The first photo in the set was a group photo. On the red banner above everyone's head was solemnly written a line of large characters: N City's Third Commendation Conference for Outstanding Private Enterprises and Entrepreneurs.
After casually taking a look at a few photos, Dong Qiangqiang was ready to jump to the page. When he moved the mouse to the upper right corner of the page, a photo at the bottom of the page jumped into his eyes inadvertently. In the photo, Lao Zhang was chatting passionately with another person, both of whom had smiles on their faces.
Dong Qiangqiang, the face of the talker and laugher, was no stranger to him. He was none other than Chen Xia's father, Lao Chen.
Dong Qiangqiang did not expect that the relationship between Lao Zhang and Lao Chen was not limited to members of the tour group. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but think of what Lao Bai did to Lao Chen that time. He looked at a few more photos with a complicated mood, and felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. It seemed that something had gone wrong but he couldn't tell it for a while. The tangled mood lingered for a while and he still couldn't get rid of it. He simply I called Lao Bai to find out.
Lao Bai didn't know what he was busy with and didn't answer his call. Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to leave a message on Lao Bai's voicemail, asking him to call him back when he had time.
But Lao Bai didn't reply to Dong Qiangqiang for several days. Before Dong Qiangqiang could contact him again, Du Lan sent Dong Qiangqiang a domestic tour group just like the one in Hamburg. Although the number of people in the tour group was the same as last time, this time The itinerary is much richer than last time, and we need to visit many German cities such as Hamburg-Hannover-Dortmund-Düsseldorf-Cologne-Bonn. Although it sounds like there are many cities, most of the cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, are small cities. Except for Cologne, which is famous for the Cologne Cathedral, several other cities are not well known to the Chinese people.
Since the route started in Hamburg, Dong Qiangqiang was very worried about meeting someone like Lao Cheng again. Fortunately, most of the group members this time were women, so there were no clamoring requests to visit St. Pauli, which made Dong Qiangqiang feel a lot more relaxed.
When it was time for dinner, Dong Qiangqiang took the guests to Wanfu as promised. Upon first meeting, I realized that the restaurant owner had indeed lied. Compared with the bustling crowds last time, Wanfu today was much more deserted and desolate. According to the boss, Dong Qiangqiang and his party were the most people to come to the restaurant in one day in the past month. Due to the lack of customers, the kitchen even had the experience of not turning on the fire for several days.
The restaurant owner did not expect Dong Qiangqiang to be so efficient. He was overjoyed and not only gave a discount but also gave him a free fruit plate. When he learned that Dong Qiangqiang would continue to visit other cities in the south, he enthusiastically told several friends the contact information of the restaurant. , hoping that Dong Qiangqiang can support them and take care of their business. At the same time, he promised Dong Qiangqiang that these restaurants will provide him and his tour group with the best dishes and the best service.
Dong Qiangqiang naturally understands this principle when it is convenient for others. Besides, instead of taking care of the German restaurant business, why not help his compatriots?
Because he had done enough homework in advance and had the guidance of a navigator, even though Dong Qiangqiang had never been to those cities in North Rhine-Westphalia before, he had a smooth journey without any trouble, and the sporadic minor problems were solved easily. Solved and turned into little tidbits during the journey.
The penultimate stop on the itinerary is Cologne, a city with a long history and a certain reputation in the hearts of Chinese people.
Although the city of Cologne is small in area, it has a large population and is dotted with high-rise buildings full of modern atmosphere. But the Germans are Germans after all. Behind the construction of new buildings, they still need to repair the ancient buildings first, even if the actual appearance of these ancient buildings has been changed during World War II. As a piece of rubble.
Among all ancient buildings, the most famous is Cologne Cathedral.
But fame is a double-edged sword. Because it was so eye-catching, it was not lucky enough to escape artillery fire in both World War I and World War II. Churches are to Westerners what temples are to Asians, they are both a belief and a living habit. In addition, the Germans have an unusual obsession with Cologne Cathedral. No matter how much you blow it to pieces, it can still be perfectly reproduced 1:1 when rebuilt. Although it is not comparable to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the replica of Cologne Cathedral is still one of the most distinctive churches in Germany. Because of its reputation, there is an endless stream of tourists and believers visiting the shrine every day. In 1996, it was included in the World Heritage List due to its long history.
Dong Qiangqiang heard from his politics teacher that the exquisite Cologne Cathedral is a classic work of Gothic architecture. The two towers on the left and right are like majestic patron saints, protecting the main structure of the church. There are also dense spiers standing on the roof of the church, and there are German versions of water-avoiding beasts on the four corners. In addition to the interior of the church, visitors can also visit the underground and the top floor of the church, overlooking the panoramic view of Cologne.
Cologne Cathedral is the landmark building of Cologne.
However, since almost every city in Germany has a church, Dong Qiangqiang is not keen on it. Fortunately, the cathedral provided Chinese audio commentary, so after buying translators for all the group members, he only had to quietly guard the only exit of the church.
There was a lot of traffic all around, and Dong Qiangqiang didn't hear his cell phone ringing at all. It wasn't until a friendly German aunt reminded him that he noticed that it was Du Lan calling him.
Du Lan asked about the journey, explained some precautions, and finally reminded him not to forget to take people to the duty-free shop.
After chatting about official matters, Dong Qiangqiang said some personal whispers before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
At a quarter past twelve noon, the group members finished their visit and walked out of the cathedral happily. Dong Qiangqiang had entered the restaurant address recommended by Boss Wanfu into the navigation system and was about to set off when an unfamiliar domestic mobile phone number appeared. on his phone screen.
