Xia Ruofei was stunned. He didn't expect He Kun to be so proactive. He quickly said, "That's great! Director He, thank you so much … "
"You're welcome, you're welcome." He Kun smiled and said, "Boss Xia, please text me your ID number. I'll ask my secretary to book the tickets first."
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "That's too much trouble! Director He, just give me the flight number. I'll book the tickets myself. "
"It's just a small matter. Boss Xia, don't reject it." He Kun said, "Boss Xia, it's settled then! I have to go to a meeting soon. I'll send you the flight number later. We can talk about the details when we get on the plane! "
Xia Ruofei could tell that He Kun was really in a hurry to go to the meeting. Therefore, he didn't reject it. He expressed his gratitude and hung up the phone.
Xia Ruofei sent his ID number to He Kun and drove back to the farm.
On the way back, Xia Ruofei received a text from He Kun regarding the flight information.
Xia Ruofei glanced at it as he drove. The flight was tomorrow morning at nine o 'clock. It would be noon when they arrived in Beijing.
Xia Ruofei also noticed that He Kun asked his secretary to book business class.
Could a deputy department head take business class? Xia Ruofei smiled and shook his head. Everyone had their own way. He Kun even booked his own tickets! Of course, he had a place to settle the expenses.
Xia Ruofei sent a text to express his gratitude and drove back to the farm.
He parked the car in front of the building and went upstairs to greet Feng Jing. When Feng Jing found out that Xia Ruofei was going to Beijing to coordinate the project, she was very supportive. She smiled and said that Xia Ruofei finally did something that a chairman should do.
Xia Ruofei could only smile bitterly at Feng Jing's teasing.
After he left the office, he went straight home to pack his luggage. Of course, he also called Ling Qingxue to inform her.
Ling Xiaotian had also been busy with the business of the Ling's Restaurant Chain recently. Ling Xiaotian was going to give her more responsibilities and let her take on the position of vice president. She was no longer just in charge of finance.
In addition, Xia Ruofei was also very busy during this time, so the two of them didn't have many opportunities to meet.
However, whenever he had free time, Xia Ruofei would chat with Ling Qingxue on the phone. The two of them were still very close.
Ling Qingxue was very understanding and supportive of Xia Ruofei's career. When she learned that Xia Ruofei was going to Beijing on a business trip for a few days, she didn't say anything else. She just reminded Xia Ruofei to take care of his health and safety.
The two of them chatted on the phone for a while before reluctantly hanging up.
It was a quiet night.
The next morning, Xia Ruofei went downstairs at 7: 40 am sharp. Lei Hu was already waiting in front of the villa with the company's Mercedes-Benz.
At 8: 10 am, Xia Ruofei arrived at the departure hall of Changping International Airport.
He didn't let Lei Hu help him carry his luggage. Instead, he dragged a small suitcase into the hall alone.
Just as Xia Ruofei was about to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, his phone rang.
"Boss Xia, we're at the airport!" He Kun asked enthusiastically, "Where are you?"
"Director He, I'm in front of the circular counter at the information desk," Xia Ruofei said as he looked around.
Soon, he saw two people walking towards him. One of them was dragging two suitcases. The other was a middle-aged man in a suit with slicked-back hair. He was also holding a phone in his hand. He waved at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei immediately waved her hand and dragged her small suitcase over to greet them.
"You're Boss Xia, right? Aiya, you're so young and promising! "He Kun smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. His attitude was very kind.
"Director He, nice to meet you! Sorry to trouble you this time! "Xia Ruofei replied with a smile. The two of them shook hands tightly.
The thirty-year-old man behind He Kun took the initiative to help Xia Ruofei carry his luggage.
Xia Ruofei quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. I don't have much luggage. I can carry it myself. Let's go get our boarding passes quickly! "
"Haha, we still have plenty of time …" He Kun laughed and said.
The group of people walked towards the check-in counter. He Kun's secretary asked for Xia Ruofei's ID. Then, he quickly walked to a VIP counter and quickly exchanged three boarding passes.
Under the guidance of a VIP customer service representative, Xia Ruofei and the group of people walked through the VIP passage and directly passed through the security check. They walked into the airport's VIP lounge.
Xia Ruofei and He Kun chatted casually in the VIP lounge. He Kun was also indirectly asking about the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Tian Huilan. Xia Ruofei wasn't a rookie who had just retired from the military. He understood Tai Chi very well.
As a result, Xia Ruofei's image in He Kun's mind became even more mysterious.
Soon, everyone began to board the plane.
He Kun's secretary sat in the economy class. Xia Ruofei and He Kun sat next to each other in the business class.
After the plane took off, Xia Ruofei took out the documents and began to talk to He Kun about the project.
He Kun listened very carefully. From time to time, he would pick up the documents that Xia Ruofei had prepared for him. After all, after arriving in Beijing, he would be responsible for coordinating the project. Naturally, he had to understand the situation first.
After Xia Ruofei finished talking, He Kun had a rough idea of what to do.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This matter shouldn't be difficult. The approval of a Chinese medicine preparation was much easier than that of Western medicine. As for the description that said it had a certain effect on autism, He Kun didn't think so.
Nowadays, medicine liked to make some gimmicks. They wouldn't stop until they shocked people to death.
Strictly speaking, this was against the rules. However, the authorities in charge turned a blind eye to it. He Kun was very clear about the rules.
At about 11: 30 p.m., Xia Ruofei and the group of people took the plane smoothly landed on the runway of Beijing International Airport.
When they walked out of the airport, they saw that the staff of the Beijing Office of Sanshan City was already waiting on the side of the road with a car.
Although He Kun had been transferred to the provincial bureau, he had worked in Sanshan City for many years. Moreover, he was a direct subordinate of Tian Huilan. Therefore, every time he came to Beijing for work, he liked to coordinate the reception of Sanshan City's Beijing Office.
Everyone took the car of the Beijing Office and quickly arrived at the Rongcheng Hotel, which was located near the East Fourth Ring Road of Beijing. This was the property of the Beijing Office of Sanshan City.
The rooms had been arranged. Xia Ruofei and He Kun both had small business suites, while He Kun's secretary lived in an ordinary room with a large bed next to He Kun's so that the leader could be called at any time.
When they arrived at the floor where the rooms were located, He Kun said kindly, "Brother Xia, go back to your room and wash up. We'll have lunch at the Rongcheng Hotel."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother He. See you later!"
After a long conversation on the plane, and because He Kun deliberately got close to Xia Ruofei, the two of them had become more intimate.
Xia Ruofei returned to his room and took a quick shower. He changed into a clean casual suit, then went to the balcony of his room to smoke a cigarette. Just then, the doorbell rang.
It was He Kun's secretary who came to invite Xia Ruofei for lunch.
At noon, in a small private room on the second floor of the Rongcheng Hotel, He Kun ordered a lot of Beijing's specialties. What surprised Xia Ruofei was that the lunch was actually Zui Ba Xian wine, and it was a three-month liquor that had just been introduced to the market.
It seemed that Zui Ba Xian wine had also entered the eyes of the Beijing Office of Sanshan City. It was used as a specialty wine of the Southeast Province to receive guests.
He Kun raised his glass and said with a smile, "Brother Xia, let's have a toast first! In the afternoon, you can rest in your room or walk around. If you need a car, just tell the front desk. I'll go to the seminar in the afternoon. In the evening, I'll have dinner with a few acquaintances from the National Food and Drug Administration. We've been friends for many years. When the time comes, you can toast a few more times. Maybe this matter will be settled. "
This kind of industry seminar was as common as the hairs on a cow. As the Deputy Director of the Provincial Bureau, He Kun was already giving a lot of face by attending. So, at most, he would show up at the opening meeting. After that, he definitely wouldn't participate in the group discussions.
After all, the main event of this trip to Beijing was to help Xia Ruofei with some matters.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother He, then I'll leave it to you …"
Because He Kun had to attend the seminar in the afternoon, everyone didn't drink too much. They all stopped after tasting a little.
Soon, lunch was over. Xia Ruofei returned to his room upstairs.
Although he hadn't visited the Forbidden City or the Great Wall, Xia Ruofei wasn't in the mood to go out for a stroll. Moreover, he only had one afternoon. With the traffic in Beijing, he probably wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
After Xia Ruofei returned to his room, he took out his cell phone and called Xue Jinshan.
"Boss Xia, you're in Beijing?" Xue Jinshan's voice had a hint of excitement.
Xia Ruofei had told Xue Jinshan yesterday that he would personally come to Beijing to coordinate the project.
"Yes, Jinshan, how's it going now?" Xia Ruofei asked, "Have you handed in the materials?"
"Boss Xia, it's too difficult to enter the door of the national ministry …" Xue Jinshan smiled bitterly and said, "We've been here for a few days. After putting in a lot of effort, we finally handed in the application materials to the Drug and Cosmetics Registration Administration Department. But after several trips, they said that it hasn't been accepted yet. I don't know how long it'll be delayed …"
Xue Jinshan also felt very depressed. He had witnessed the efficacy of the Heart-Nourishing Soup with his own eyes. It was definitely a blessing for the majority of autistic patients. If it could be mass-produced as soon as possible, it could revolutionize the treatment of autism.
But there was no other way. For the national ministry, it might be a big deal in your eyes, but for them, it was insignificant.
If they strictly followed the number of working days for each link, they would have to wait until God knows when they could be approved for production and put on the market.
Xia Ruofei said faintly, "Jinshan, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks! Don't worry … How about this, Director He from the provincial bureau is hosting a banquet for the comrades from the National Food and Drug Administration tonight. You guys should also attend! It'll be good to know a few more people and coordinate the approval in the future. "
"Boss Xia has a way!" Xue Jinshan said excitedly, "Boss Xia, it'll be great if we can find an acquaintance in the National Food and Drug Administration!"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "I'll call you after the location is confirmed. You guys can take a taxi there together."
"Okay, okay!" Xue Jinshan said quickly.
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, he thought about it and sent a text message to He Kun, telling him that a few of his company's employees who were in charge of the project would also be attending the banquet.
He Kun, who was in the middle of a seminar, replied to Xia Ruofei's text message after about half an hour.
He Kun naturally wouldn't mind if a few more people attended the banquet. He also sent the location of the banquet to Xia Ruofei in advance.
Xia Ruofei looked at it. It was in an alley near the Rongcheng Hotel, and the name was "Wang Fu's Private Home Cuisine."
Xia Ruofei forwarded the location information and the private room number to Xue Jinshan.
He slept in the hotel room and got up around 5: 30 to pack up. He Kun's secretary came over to remind Xia Ruofei to get ready to leave.
The group of people took the Buick minivan from the Beijing Garrison Office, turned around in the nearby alleys, and soon arrived at a quaint courtyard house.
This was where the "Wang Fu's Private Home Cuisine" was located.
The courtyard house was the type that had multiple entrances. There were antique lanterns hanging at the door, and the copper nails on the door were shiny. It looked extremely luxurious.
Xue Jinshan had already brought two research institute employees to the Wang Fu's Private Home Cuisine.
The two employees were a man and a woman.
The woman's name was Bai He. She was as beautiful as her name suggested. She gave off a refreshing vibe.
The man's name was Zhou Qing. Although he still had a hint of childishness on his face, he was quite capable among the research institute employees, and was highly valued by Xue Jinshan.
Both of them were fresh graduates, so they were a bit nervous in this kind of situation.
When Xue Jinshan saw Xia Ruofei and the group of people, he quickly greeted them and said, "Boss Xia."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Jinshan, this is Director He Kun of the Provincial Food and Drug Administration."
Xue Jinshan and the other two quickly greeted He Kun respectfully.
For the sake of Xia Ruofei, or more accurately, for the sake of Tian Huilan, He Kun's attitude was very amiable. He smiled and exchanged a few words with the three of them.
Then, He Kun said, "Brother Xia, let's go to the private room and wait! Section Chief Qi and the others get off work at five o 'clock sharp, but there's a lot of traffic during the evening rush hour in Beijing. It will probably take a while for them to arrive! "
"It's okay." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Brother He, let's go in first!"
From He Kun's tone, Xia Ruofei knew that he had invited a section chief this time. Although he was a cadre from a national ministry, he knew that He Kun was a dignified cadre at the deputy department level, so there was no need for him to wait respectfully in the lobby.
The group of people arrived at the quaint private room.
Xia Ruofei originally thought that they would only have to wait for half an hour or an hour. Since they were asking for help, it didn't matter if they were late.
He didn't expect that they would have to wait for more than two hours.
It wasn't until eight o 'clock in the evening that three people finally appeared at the door of the private room after He Kun made two phone calls.
What made Xia Ruofei frown slightly was that the three of them walked a little unsteadily, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on their bodies …
