I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Zhou Tianming understood it instantly, and his heart was ecstatic.

Because Chen Lingge is Chen Ling.

The Malians speak French. The pinyin of zero is ling. According to the French spelling rules, the g at the end should be pronounced, and ling is pronounced as a rhombus.

Zhou Tianming was a little impatient and wanted to contact Chen Ling immediately.

According to Minister Maitreya, Chen Ling is likely to dominate the project, and Chen Ling claims to be a friend of Hu Datong and wants to complete the unfinished business for Hu Datong.

This is equivalent to saying that the investor of the railway project has to hand over the project to the CR company to do it!

Minister Maitreya Buddha is also a human being. He saw that Zhou Tianming should know Chen Lingge and asked, "Mr. Zhou, you should know Chen, right?"

Zhou Tianming did not hide it, and said: "Yes. If I am not mistaken, he is Hu Datong's friend Mr. Chen Ling."

Minister Maitreya said meaningfully: "So you know..."

Zhou Tianming didn't understand what Minister Maitreya Buddha meant, but at this moment he had no patience to chat with the Minister, said a few more words, and left with someone.

He Chaoxu and the marketing manager are also at a loss. This time I was eager to see the minister, and it seemed that there was nothing substantive.

In the car, He Chaoxu couldn't help asking: "Zhou, do you know the Chen Lingge the minister said?"

Zhou Tianming nodded: "Chen Lingge, this is Chen Ling!"

"Chen Ling?" He Chaoxu and the marketing manager didn't know who Chen Ling was.

"The one who came to my office in the morning."

He Chaoxu had a face-to-face meeting with Chen Ling in the morning, and he remembered that the person was very young.

"Isn't he... from Moyin Company?" He Chaoxu remembered the name of Chen Ling Company.

Zhou Tianming smiled and said: "It's not magic sound, it's MOIN, the English abbreviation for modern infrastructure. This company has a port project for CS company in Algeria, do you all know? Now, MOIN company is going to get one for our CR company. Railway project."

Then, Zhou Tianming assigned tasks to He Chaoxu and the marketing manager. The international business department of CR Company went all out to meet the needs of MOIN Company, implement the plan to meet the requirements of MOIN Company, and come up with it within five days.

"I will meet with Chen Ling again and talk in person again." Zhou Tianming said at last.

Chen Ling sat in the lobby of Wenzhou Hotel, flipping through a menu. Looking at the familiar name of the dish, Chen Ling almost slobbered.

After coming to Mali, Chen Ling either ate Western food or local Malian food. Chen Ling felt that he was about to vomit. It doesn't matter if you just deal with it when you are busy. Now that I am free, Chen Ling plans to have a good Chinese meal.

Most of Longli’s teams that came to Mali have returned to Algeria, and a small number are experts to support the business development of the startup Mali branch.

Chen Ling called on François, Bill and Mina, and went out to eat together.

Sai Du just came to report to Chen Ling, knowing that Chen Ling was going out to eat Chinese food, scorned his face, and came along.

It seems that Wenzhou Hotel and Shanghai Hotel can be found in every big city in Africa. The restaurant is not necessarily from Wenzhou or Shanghai. The food in the restaurant is not to mention the cuisine or sect. Generally, the food is adapted to local conditions, with local ingredients and domestic seasonings. As for whether it is delicious or not, it’s all about it. The chef is skilled.

Some restaurants have to consider the tastes of local customers, and the taste is even more difficult to describe.

However, no matter what, it is a great enjoyment for the Chinese who are floating overseas alone to have a place to eat with chopsticks.

Wenzhou Hotel was opened by a team of young couples. The boss is the chef and is in charge of the rear. The proprietress has the posture of a middle-aged person, and she pays attention to dressing. She is a cashier and orderer in the restaurant, and she is in charge of the reception and delivery in the lobby. She is a well-known figure in the Chinese circle of Bamako. Because of the good business, they hired several local employees as waiters.

Today, the lady boss is particularly concerned about Chen Ling's table.

Among the guests coming to the restaurant, usually a few Chinese come together, or Chinese and local people come together. It is rare to see Chinese, white, and black people coming together for dinner, and the Chinese person is faintly headed by this. It's even rarer.

The proprietress took a small notebook and stood behind Chen Ling, preparing to write the name of the dish.

Chen Ling swallowed, ordered three home-cooked dishes, and then said, "Miss boss, recommend to some of my friends, recommend the dishes that you locals love to eat... Are you halal?" Chen Ling suddenly thought of rice. Na’s eating habits worry that she will have nothing to eat when she comes to this restaurant.

The proprietress smiled and said: "Don't worry, many local religious people come to us to eat. The ingredients are purchased from local formal channels, clean, and customers love to eat."

"That's good, you recommend it." Chen Ling said, explaining to Mina who was sitting next to him.

Mina smiled happily.

"Your friend is so beautiful, is it your girlfriend?" Seeing Mina's smile, the lady boss asked suddenly.

Chen Ling looked up at the boss's wife and smiled: "Do you think she is beautiful too?"

"Of course, I have never seen such a beautiful one in Mali, with good facial features, fair skin, and good hair quality..." The proprietress had already passed the name of the ordered dish to the waiter, watching Mina praise it.

Mina felt the boss's gaze, looked at her, and smiled.

The lady boss said again: "Look, it's so beautiful to smile!" Then she said to Mina in French: "You are beautiful, and your boyfriend is so lucky." He glanced at Chen Ling.

Mina glanced at Chen Ling, blushing, and shook her head silently.

Everyone at the table laughed. Bill asked, "Mina, where is your boyfriend?"

The lady boss knew that she had made a mistake, and said to Chen Ling, "Ah, isn’t she your girlfriend? Excuse me, I see her sitting next to you... The women who come to eat with us are usually brought by men in the family. Coming, so I..."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Hurry up and serve us food, I'm hungry."

"Okay, okay, I'll be here soon. What's your surname? This is the first time you have come to eat with us? I usually remember the guests who have been here." The lady boss still did not leave.

"Minggui, my surname is Chen. You have never been here before, this is the first time. Are there many Chinese here?"

"We have a lot of Chinese people, who come to do business and engineering. What are you here for?"

Chen Ling knew that the proprietress would definitely ask these things, and he was prepared, and said: "I am from a security company, and I am coming to Mali to open a branch. Our company is called Longli Anbao."

The proprietress was a little surprised, and said: "Security company, it’s the first time I have met a Chinese who works as a security company here. Business will be very good, because the security situation here is not good. The Radisson Hotel was killed two times a while ago. Chinese, you should have heard of it too? CR company, big company employee, what a pity!"

Chen Ling nodded and said, "I've heard of it. Has it always been like this here in Bamako?"

The proprietress said: "No, it used to be north and east. There were often terrorist attacks in the place close to the desert. Bamako did not. But now Bamako has also started. You are here at the right time. The procedures are completed. Do you have guns? This horrible place, you can't have guns!"

As she spoke, she looked at François and others with inquisitive eyes, and asked in French: "Do you have guns?"
