Li Dong is worried, but Zhang Lanyu is here to help him, and he can't chase her away.
Li Dong is in deep thoughts as he looks at the farmlands on both sides of the highway.
Dong Xuebing had come to Beijing to visit Qin Yuhan, but it seems there are still many things to do.
Li Dong was not too worried about the National Development and Reform Commission. Shen Qian was too worried about the National Development and Reform Commission.
Dong Xuebing is not stupid. Why is he looking for trouble in Beijing?
Now that Shen Qian had brought Zhang Lanyu along, Li Dong felt a little uneasy. He could only hope that the journey would be smooth, and it would be best if they could safely return to Plains Plain.
As Li Dong is deep in thought, Zhang Lanyu hesitates to speak. After a long time, Zhang Lanyu suddenly asked. "Li Dong, are you involved with Chen Rui?"
Li Dong frowned and turned his head, "Why do you ask?"
Zhang Lanyu said softly, "Some time ago, Chen Rui asked a friend who used to be good friends to help him ask about you. That person is also my friend, so he told me about it."
"What is it?"
"About your recent situation, and …"
Li Dong asked. "Is it inconvenient?"
Zhang Lanyu hesitated for a while and said. "It's not inconvenient, but I am surprised. Chen Rui asked me to find out about Governor Huang."
"Governor Huang!"
Li Dong's heart skipped a beat. Chen Rui is starting to suspect him.
In fact, this was normal. After all, Li Dong had lived in Billow Mountain Villa for a while. Coupled with the strangeness of Old Huang's downfall, it was reasonable for Chen Rui to be suspicious.
In just one year, two officials of Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee resigned.
This is abnormal. Moreover, Old Huang's downfall is unclear, and no one knows why. Chen Rui is not a fool, and he Association knows what he has.
Li Dong took a deep breath and did not reply.
Zhang Lanyu is a smart person, and she can Association what Chen Rui can think of.
Coupled with the fact that Distance had taken advantage of the real estate storm this time, Zhang Lanyu sighed softly, "You should pay attention. Business can be done at any time. You don't necessarily have to go through the side door. Chen Rui didn't stop, or else he wouldn't … "
"Thank you. I know what I'm doing," Li Dong replied and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Zhang Lanyu didn't try to persuade Shen Qian anymore.
Why did Shen Qian look for her?
She was afraid that Li Dong would do something reckless. This guy is really bold, and there are some things that a businessman like him should not be involved in.
But Li Dong did it, and it shows that in his heart, there are some hidden rules that are not sacred and cannot be violated.
But in China, in Hua Xia, the tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years has never changed.
The people do not fight with the officials, and the rich do not fight with the officials. This saying is not unreasonable.
…
No one spoke along the way.
It is a distance of 1,000 kilometers from Pingchuan to Beijing, and it takes a long time to drive.
If it is not for business, Li Dong will not choose to drive this time.
The group arrived at Quancheng at around 12 pm.
Seeing that it is getting late, Li Dong said to Tan Yong, who is driving. "Inform everyone to get off the highway and find a place to eat. We are not going for business today, and it's fine if we are late."
Tan Yong replied and said something into his earpiece before exiting the highway at the next intersection.
Driving along the winding road for half an hour, the bustling city finally appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the city in front of him that is somewhat different from Pingchuan, Li Dong did not say anything. Beside him, Zhang Lanyu whispered, "Lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides, mountains on one side, and lakes on the other."
Hearing that, Li Dong chuckled and said, "Scholars like to use such exaggerated rhetoric. Why don't I see lotus flowers on all sides?"
Zhang Lanyu glanced at him as if she is not willing to be associated with this guy, but she did not explain.
Seeing that, Li Dong did not mind and continued, "I don't know about lotus flowers on all sides, but I know something here that is absolutely famous."
"Spring water?"
"That's not it."
"What is it?"
"Xia Yuhe!" Li Dong said with a smile, "Do you still remember the Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?"
"Pfft!"
At first, Zhang Lanyu found it funny, but then her face darkened. "I can't even get to the point with you. You are really boring."
"How am I boring?" Li Dong was not convinced. "Let me ask you, is Daming Lake from Quancheng? Then is Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake from Quancheng? Isn't 'My Fair Princess' very popular? Have you forgotten about Xia Yuhe at Daming Lake? "
"Boring!"
Zhang Lanyu snorted with a straight face. Then, she held back her laughter and said, "Stop talking about these boring topics. Get out of the car and eat. I'm hungry."
Li Dong shook his head and sighed. "I am not bored. It is you who is too boring. It was a good joke, but it did not have the desired effect. "
"Keep your corny jokes to yourself. I don't need them."
After saying that, Zhang Lanyu opened the door and got out of the car.
The cars behind her also stopped at this moment. Seeing that Zhang Lanyu got out of the car, the others also got out.
Li Dong dawdled for a while before getting out of the car. He looked around and said, "Quancheng's economy is more developed than Pingchuan. You can tell from the city's appearance. Now that Yuan Chengdao is opening up the market here, I wonder if he can successfully open up the market in Quancheng. "
Seeing that he was talking about business, Zhang Lanyu regained her composure and said, "I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think."
"Quancheng is connected to the Capital Economic Zone in the north and the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone in the south. It is also an important intersection point between the Bohai Rim Economic Zone and the Beijing-Shanghai Economic Axis. In addition, it is a sub-provincial city, which is also one of the top second-tier cities. It will be difficult to open up the market in Quancheng. "
Li Dong was silent for a moment. "No matter how difficult it is, it is still easier than Beijing and Shanghai. The local supermarket in Quancheng can only be considered average. Whether it is Ginza or Jiayue, they are not comparable to Far away. In addition, with the invasion of foreign supermarkets, the situation is more chaotic now. It is probably the best time for Far away to enter Quancheng. "
Zhang Lanyu said curiously, "I realized that you are quite ambitious. You are a young man in your early twenties. Where did your ambition come from?"
Li Dong laughed. "Isn't it said that the younger one is, the more ambitious one is? So what if I am ambitious? Go and ask, how many people don't have ambition? Some people don't have ambition because they don't have the capital. Now that I have the capital, it is only natural for me to expand Far away. "
Zhang Lanyu shook her head. "That's not what I mean. I just think that you are too anxious and have the feeling that you are fighting for every minute. Far away might have established its foundation in Jiangbei, but it is actually not as stable as you think. You are now opening up the market on a large scale. First, it was Sunan, then Zhejiang, and then Lu and Gan. How many years has it been? If your foundation is not stable, you will probably suffer in the future if you attack on a large scale now. "
"I understand, but time waits for no man. We don't have much time left."
The last sentence made Zhang Lanyu frown. Li Dong, who was in his early twenties, lamented that time was running out. It sounded a little awkward no matter how she listened to it.
The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they entered a nice looking hotel.
Far away's people followed them in. When the hotel manager saw this group of people, she quickly went forward and said, "Sir, Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Two private rooms …"
Before Li Dong could finish his sentence, another group of people came in from outside the door. The middle-aged man in the lead said as soon as he entered the door, "Give me two big bags and some special dishes. Be quick, we are in a hurry."
When the hotel manager heard this, she immediately looked awkward. "Sir, I'm sorry, we only have two private rooms left. Why don't we do it in the lobby …"
When she said this, the group of people who came later understood. The middle-aged man who spoke first looked at Li Dong and then said with a smile, "Little brother, if you don't mind, how about sharing a table?"
Li Dong frowned slightly. Before he could say anything, Zhang Lanyu smiled and said, "Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for ourselves. Besides, we're only here for a while. How about this? Aren't there two more private rooms? How about we take one each?"
"Okay, thank you very much."
The middle-aged man smiled and explained, "It's not that we want a private room, but it's not very convenient because there are distinguished guests here."
Li Dong glanced at them and didn't say anything. He nodded and followed the waiter to the private room.
The group of people behind him were a step slower and didn't follow him.
Halfway there, Zhang Lanyu said softly, "Do you think I'm overstepping my bounds?"
Li Dong shook his head. Zhang Lanyu continued, "The people behind us are not weak. It's better to avoid trouble when we're out. Giving up a private room will prevent any disputes. Besides, we have to hurry on our way after lunch. There's no need to quarrel with them. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "I know. Also, Comrade Lan Yu, don't treat me like a fool, okay? Don't take what Shen Qian said seriously. She thinks that I will cause trouble everywhere. Do you think so too? "
"Yes."
Zhang Lanyu didn't give him face and nodded in agreement.
Li Dong's face was immediately filled with black lines. He said with a dark expression, "Do you know how to chat?"
Zhang Lanyu smiled and didn't reply.
…
Li Dong was quite satisfied with his lunch. The specialties of Spring City were quite to his taste.
Midway, the middle-aged man from the private room next to him came over and toasted Li Dong. He spoke very politely, making Li Dong feel a little better.
When Li Dong and company finished their meal, the receptionist told Li Dong that the bill had been paid. Li Dong immediately knew that the other party must have helped him pay the bill.
Bright and spacious. That was Li Dong's first impression of the person.
Although the beginning was a little unpleasant, the other party was probably really entertaining distinguished guests. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so polite.
Although the money for a meal was nothing to Li Dong, having an attitude was better than doing nothing.
Li Dong didn't ask whether the other party had left or not. They were strangers who met by chance, so there was no need to probe further.
When they got into the car, Li Dong saw that there were many cars parked not far away. He couldn't help but take a second look. At this moment, Tan Yong said softly, "General Manager Li, we just ate with the other party in the lobby. They are from Rivertown. This time, they came to the capital for business. These cars should be theirs."
"Yes."
Li Dong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
These days, there were many people coming to the capital for business. Rivertown was a distance away from Pingchuan, so there was no need to ask about what others were doing.
