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

Chapter 22

What role does Lilia play in this? Where are her brothers? Taier took the initiative to contact him several times, does it have this purpose?

Thinking about this, Chen Ling suddenly felt that he was like a kite compared to Lao Liang, Wei Dongpo and others. It seemed to fly high, but was controlled by others without realizing it. Lao Liang, Wei Dongpo and others are down-to-earth, very clear about their goals, that is, power and money, and then do their best to pursue them. A little achievement is complacent. It looks boring, but it is also a reward for themselves.

It’s tacky, but it’s practical, and it’s often effective, because they’ve been acting and motivated all the time. Maybe they are also led by others, but those who can lead them will inevitably pay a price to let them take a step forward on the road to achieve their goals.

Compared with Lao Liang, Wei Dongpo and others, Chen Ling’s goal is more specific, one million yuan in three years, but he has not taken any specific actions. This time I won the hotel project, and I only got the position of deputy project manager and 20,000 yuan. As for salary increases and commissions, no one has ever mentioned it to me, and I have not taken any initiative to ask the company.

Are you a role model for giving nothing in return? In the eyes of others, you are a wimp that can be squeezed at will, right? People ignore the rights they should have, and instead of fighting for them, they work more actively.

But is the opinions of others that important?

Before tonight, Chen Ling was proud and determined to make one million in three years. This goal is out of reach for most people who work in Africa. Recently, he received the Medal of Honor and received a new project. People around him The compliment made the young Chen Ling’s mentality drifting.

Ahmed’s remarks made Chen Ling realize that his grades are given by others, and others can take them back at any time.

No, my Chen Ling’s rights can no longer be stepped on by others, I must get what I deserve!

Chen Ling pondered for a while, and said to Ahmed, “Mr. Senior Official, who else is the intelligence network you are talking about?”

Ahmed is not afraid that Chen Ling will not submit, it is just a matter of time. Hearing Chen Ling’s question and knowing that bargaining is now starting, he said: “I just said that you are responsible for this network, and this network is waiting for you to establish it.”

“Then what permissions do I have?”

“You have a lot of authority: select personnel, arrange work, and you have regular funds. With authority, you have responsibilities. You have to report abnormal movements in the Chinese population on a regular basis.”

Chen Ling specifically asked: “What are the abnormal trends?”

“It’s a good judgment, it’s a trend that deviates from the purpose of Chinese people coming to Algeria. You Chinese people come here for only one purpose, and that is to make money.”

Chen Lingdao: “Many of us like to spend money.”

“Of course, who doesn’t like spending money. You Chinese have your own way of life, that’s okay.” The senior official Ahmed gave a meaningful smile.

Chen Ling hesitated for a few seconds before explaining. “You are misunderstood. I mean Chinese people like to make money and spend money. If I want to build an intelligence network, I can use money to clear the way.”

“No problem, we have a special budget. For the stability and safety of our country, our budget is sufficient.” Ahmed didn’t care about Chen Ling’s request for money. In his opinion, this is a normal reaction.

What he didn’t know was that this was the first time in Chen Ling’s life that he took the initiative to talk about money.

Today, if you don’t agree to the requirements of the senior officials, there is actually no big problem. It’s a big deal to continue doing translation. I have a skill and I will always have food to eat.

However, the goal of one million in three years may be difficult to achieve. Unless you change the country, you may still have a chance to start from scratch. Moreover, Chen Ling was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, even if he was overwhelmed by others, he would still try his best to strive for the best interests.

Therefore, Chen Ling considered first agreeing to the request made by General Salhi through Ahmad’s senior official. As long as he does not violate his basic principles, it is okay to do something to earn some benefits.

As for collecting intelligence, or monitoring the Chinese community, this is not necessarily a bad thing. China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Nowadays, a large number of Chinese people come to Africa, a mixed bag. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and control to avoid violating local laws and being used by people with intentions.

Chen Ling and senior officials also discussed some personnel selection criteria, funding, and reporting systems. In terms of funding, the senior officials did not agree to Chen Ling’s proposal at first because it was too high. The two bargained for a long time before it was settled.

Finally, the senior official said to Chen Ling: “For specific matters, General Salhi will send someone to contact you to facilitate your work. That’s all I want to tell you. But I want to remind you a little.”

The senior official paused, looked at Chen Ling’s reaction, and continued: “I heard that your ears and eyes are clear and this kind of ability is very helpful to you as a spy. However, in many cases, don’t listen to what you shouldn’t. I didn’t hear it; don’t look at what you shouldn’t. If you see it, you will treat it as if you didn’t see it.”

Chen Ling didn’t like this kind of words that seemed to be very clear, but in fact they didn’t say anything. Shouldn’t you listen, shouldn’t you watch, still you have the final say? But now, he can only nod his head: “Don’t worry, I understand.”

It was 11 o’clock in the night when Chen Ling returned to the hotel, and all of his colleagues had gone to their rooms to sleep. Before leaving, the senior official said to Chen Ling: “Lilia and her brothers have nothing to do with this matter, and there will not be any in the future. You can continue to be friends.”

This is also a comfort to Chen Ling. He didn’t want a girl who looked at the harmless, lively and lovely girl of humans and animals to have such deep scheming.

The next day, Chen Ling and his colleagues started to act separately. Chen Ling did what he said and did not accompany Wei Dongpo to buy a car, but contacted the owner’s boss Nabir for a courtesy visit.

Nabil was very polite and called to the manager of his group’s engineering department to wait for Chen Ling to meet in his office.

The previous procedures have been completed, and the advance payment has been in place, so the meeting process is easy and pleasant. Nabil said that the group has also planned hotels and conference centers, hoping to expand cooperation in the future. Chen Ling said that he must do a good job of the project at hand to satisfy you.

At the end of the meeting, the engineering manager Ke Limu took Chen Ling to his office again and said: “Mr. Chen, I have a cousin, a very serious man, a great driver, but he is unemployed. Looking for a job, can you arrange it for me?”

Chen Ling said: “We do need a driver. You can ask him to come to our hotel for an interview. Just look for me. However, we require the driver to be on standby at any time and often need to work overtime. Please tell your cousin about this. clear.”

Kerim smiled and said, “This is okay. You Chinese are all workaholics. We work on the construction site 24 hours a day. We have already understood that my cousin is in good health and is willing to work.”

It is very cost-effective to use a job as a driver to improve the relationship with the owner’s engineering manager. You should know that the project settlement bills will be reviewed and signed by Kerim in the future.

When Chen Ling walked out of the Kelimu office, there was already a local woman standing outside the door. She was wearing professional clothes and high heels. She was petite but undulating. She had long chestnut hair tied behind her head, neat and tidy. It is Mina, Nabil’s secretary. Chen Ling has dealt with her several times, and the two are considered familiar.

When Chen Ling came to Algiers for the first time to match the project, Mina looked like she was doing business. Later, when the negotiation went smoothly and the contract was signed, Mina’s attitude changed a lot, especially for Chen Ling, because she knew that Chen Ling would be responsible for this more than $20 million project.

Beautiful women always make people happy and make people involuntarily pay attention to their words and deeds. “Mina, thank you today. My business is over and it’s time to go back.” In other countries, Chen Ling can invite each other to have a meal, drink coffee or something, but in this country, it is very taboo for men to invite women. Things.

Mina said, “I have something to look for you.” She pointed to the other side of the corridor and motioned for Chen Ling to speak.

The two stopped in front of the glass window in the corridor. Mina approached Chen Ling, looked at Chen Ling’s eyes, and whispered, “I want you to do me a favor.”

The scent of perfume drifted into Chen Ling’s nostrils. Chen Ling felt his mood rippling, turning his upper body slightly, and said in his heart: “This is also a beauty trick, right?”
