The negotiation was just around the corner, and Lu Yiwei had been extremely busy these past two days. To the villagers' delight, they finally got the compensation that was owed for seven or eight years. They all thanked Lu Yiwei for doing a good deed. He really cared about the interests of the masses. This move won the people's hearts, but the price was huge. There was only about 20 million yuan left in the national treasury. If they couldn't wait for the funds from the higher authorities, the normal operation of the management committee would be affected.
Seeing the smiles on the villagers' faces, Lu Yiwei felt warm in his heart. This money originally belonged to the people, so it was reasonable to return it to them. As for the future, he didn't think about it. He would solve it step by step. There would always be a solution.
The day of the negotiation was coming soon. Xia Jinhe lived in the East Lake Hotel these days. When she saw the list of people attending the meeting, her mood was particularly complicated. Lu Yiwei's name was written on it, and he reported the situation of the high-tech zone. She had thought of countless scenes of meeting Lu Yiwei, but she didn't expect it to be on this occasion.
Xia Jinhe wanted to call Lu Yiwei several times, but she flinched. She didn't know what would happen after meeting him. Would he be excited or calm?
The torment in her heart was like a catfish on the chopping board, desperate and painful. Seeing her absent-minded look, Chen Zhongqi felt distressed and said, "If it doesn't work, I will ask Yiwei out and have a good chat. Seeing you in so much pain, I feel sad. "
Xia Jinhe shook her head desperately and said, "No, I don't have the courage to face him. I let him down in the past."
Chen Zhongqi felt bad and said, "You said you will marry me. Are you comforting me?"
Xia Jinhe suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "I won't. Since I promised you, I won't go back on my words. I know what you are thinking in your heart. Don't worry. After I untie the knot in my heart, I will live with you in the future. "
Chen Zhongqi sighed and said helplessly, "Since you love him so much, why did you leave him in the past?"
These words stung Xia Jinhe's heart. Her tears were like a broken dam, flowing down uncontrollably.
The negotiation was held as scheduled. The location was set to be the most luxurious hotel in Xijiang Province, the East Lake Hotel. When a company came to a place to invest, it was usually done by the person in charge. Zhang Bingtong, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, attached great importance to this cooperation. Not only did he attend the meeting personally, but he also signed the cooperation agreement personally.
Due to the high standards of the conference, Lu Yiwei was not qualified to attend. However, his company planned to invest in the high-tech zone, so he was allowed to attend today's conference. There was a fundamental difference between attending a meeting and attending a meeting. It was just like being an outsider attending other people's affairs. You had the right to attend the meeting, but you didn't have the right to speak. People said that you should just listen and keep your opinions to yourself. However, Lu Yiwei was still going to introduce the situation of the high-tech zone at the conference today, which was a special case.
The mayor of Jiangdong, Bai Zongfeng, or the deputy governor of Jiangdong, was supposed to speak on this matter. For some reason, it fell to Lu Yiwei. Since it had fallen onto his head, he was not afraid. He had been through all kinds of situations, let alone this kind of meeting.
Lu Yiwei arrived at the conference early. Bai Zongfeng was already there. He stepped forward and asked, "How's the preparation going?"
Lu Yiwei said confidently, "No problem, everything is ready."
"That's good."
Lu Yiwei found his seat and sat down. The media reporters were busy adjusting seven or eight cameras. The atmosphere was quite good. One of the cameras was aimed at him. Looking at the dark lens, he felt inexplicably nervous.
At this moment, a young lady ran over and stretched out her hand. "Secretary Lu, I'm a reporter from Xijiang TV Station. After the conference, we would like to do an interview with you. What do you think …"
Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand. "Why would you want to interview me? I'm not the star of today's conference. You're the wrong person to interview. You should be interviewing Governor Zhao."
The reporter did not let it go. "The pharmaceutical factory is going to be located in the high-tech zone. You should express your feelings. Our director has arranged for us to interview you, so … "
Lu Yiwei could not dissuade the reporter. He reluctantly agreed. "How about this. You can look for me after the conference is over, okay?"
"Okay! Thank you, Secretary Lu. "After saying that, the young lady skipped away.
Looking at the reporter's back, Lu Yiwei sighed from the bottom of his heart. It was good to be young. Before he knew it, he was already in his thirties. He suddenly thought of Su Meng. Wasn't Su Meng this energetic back then? The years were peaceful. What had passed was the past that could not be recalled. What was left were only memories.
Lu Yiwei flipped through the conference agenda on the table. When he saw a name, he suddenly sat up and his expression became unusually serious. Xia Jinhe? Which Xia Jinhe?
Because he had received the conference agenda in advance. It clearly stated that the company's representative was Hongda Group's Chairman, Rong Hongsen. How did it become Xia Jinhe in the blink of an eye? Was it really her that he had been thinking about day and night?
Lu Yiwei stood up and glanced at the seat board. Xia Jinhe's name was written on it, without a single word missing. He became flustered and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Even when someone greeted him, he didn't come back to his senses.
At this time, Zhang Bingtong and Xia Jinhe came out from a room on the side of the conference room. They were talking and laughing. The moment he saw Xia Jinhe, time froze. It was as if there were only the two of them in the conference room, staring at each other not far away.
How could it be? How could it be her? Lu Yiwei found it hard to believe. He subconsciously stood up and stared at Xia Jinhe.
Xia Jinhe also noticed Lu Yiwei. The moment their eyes met, her heart became more restless. All the past events were vivid in her mind like a movie. They met again after four years.
Others saw Lu Yiwei's look and quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes. Lu Yiwei came back to his senses and sat down in a daze.
Xia Jinhe had changed. She had changed from long black hair to Sha Xuan. Her once youthful face had become more mature and more feminine. She was still so beautiful and became a beautiful scenery in the conference room. All the leaders focused their eyes on Xia Jinhe, and each of them had their own thoughts.
Xia Jinhe had changed. Lu Yiwei had also changed. He had become calmer and more mature than before. If it were in the past, everything would be written on his face. But today, he was unusually calm, as if he had met a friend who had parted with him yesterday. He treasured everything in his heart.
Lin Haifeng was also shocked. Lin Haifeng had known it before, and he was also speculating whether this Xia Jinhe was the Xia Jinhe from before. But there were many people with the same name in the world, so he did not pay much attention to it. When Xia Jinhe appeared, he was obviously more flustered than Lu Yiwei.
The meeting officially began. Governor Zhao Kunsheng presided over the meeting. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, he welcomed the arrival of Hongda Group and briefly introduced the situation of Xijiang Province. Xia Jinhe sat there elegantly with a smile on her face. She nodded from time to time and picked up a pen to record in her notebook. She looked like a successful business elite.
On the surface, Lu Yiwei seemed to be listening, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Jinhe. Xia Jinhe did not give any signal to Lu Yiwei since they looked at each other just now.
It was Xia Jinhe's turn to speak. She generously took the microphone and said, "Leaders, I am honored to attend today's meeting on behalf of Hongda Group. Chairman Rong originally wanted to attend in person, but he is in Australia for surgery, so he entrusted me to attend this meeting. Judging from the specifications of today's meeting, it shows that Xijiang Province attaches great importance to this cooperation. On behalf of Hongda Group, I would like to thank Secretary Zhang and Governor Zhao for attending this meeting in person. I will also show the greatest sincerity to reach today's cooperation intention. "
"Our Hongda Group is a comprehensive group of biopharmaceuticals, biochemicals, and apparel. Last year, we were selected as one of the top 500 enterprises in the country, and we are a key nurtured enterprise in the national emerging industry project library. This time, we plan to invest in a pharmaceutical factory in Xijiang Province, mainly to open up the northern market. The initial plan is to invest a total of 2.5 billion in three phases to build the largest pharmaceutical factory in the northwest region, and a first-class biological pharmaceutical factory in the country … "
A 2.5 billion project was definitely a big deal for Xijiang Province. Zhang Bingtong said cheerfully, "Chairman Xia, we have communicated before and have reached some kind of verbal agreement. From the bottom of my heart, I really hope that Hongda Group can invest in Xijiang Province. I have also talked about the specific preferential policies, and we will definitely show the greatest sincerity and the most preferential policies. All the procedures involved will be simplified, and the green light will be given through smooth channels. Everything will be implemented in the shortest time possible … "
Lu Yiwei was lost in thought as he listened, so much so that he didn't even know when it was his turn to speak. If it were not for the people next to him reminding him, he would probably still be sitting there in a daze.
The moment he stood up, Xia Jinhe's eyes were a little messy, and he was deliberately avoiding it. Meanwhile, Lu Yiwei's mind was blank, and he did not know what to say. He closed his eyes and calmed down, then picked up the script and began to speak.
After the report, Zhao Kunsheng asked Xia Jinhe, "Chairman Xia, do you have any other questions?"
Xia Jinhe looked at Lu Yiwei and said with a smile, "No."
Today's meeting was called a negotiation meeting, but it was just a formality. After all, such a big project needed to be spread through the media. After the meeting, Xia Jinhe and Zhang Bingtong signed the agreement that had been prepared in advance, and it was all over after they shook hands.
At this time, Bai Zongfeng suddenly ran to Lu Yiwei and said hurriedly, "Yiwei, why are you still here? Secretary Zhang is about to arrive at the high-tech zone. Hurry up and get ready."
