White Cloud Hotel. At this time, the hotel entrance was already filled with people. You Quan, the president of the Nanzhou Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the core members of the association stood at the entrance, waiting for the arrival of the city leaders. Without a doubt, these people were the celebrities of Nanzhou's business world. Among them were businessmen from other parts of Nanzhou, but they also had certain business achievements in Nanzhou.
At this time, those who arrived a little late didn't enter the hotel after parking their cars. They directly waited outside.
President You, I heard that the city's main leaders will be coming tonight. A clear and melodious female voice rang in You Quan's ears, making him feel very comfortable to listen to.
After hearing it many times and being used to it, You Quan was already very familiar with this voice. He couldn't help but pay attention to this voice. The owner of the voice was the chairman of Nanzhou's Minghe Business Public Relations Consulting Group Limited, Lin Hong. Minghe Group's main business was to help people with public relations consulting. There were many ways to do this. Any enterprise that encountered difficulties, whether it was from the business world or the government, or a foreign enterprise that had just entered Nanzhou and was harassed by the locals, could find Minghe Group to solve it.
But one thing that couldn't be denied was that Minghe Group's reputation wasn't good. Two years ago, a foreign private enterprise came to Nanzhou to open a branch factory. Because they were harassed by some local gangsters and demanded protection fees, the enterprise called the police. Not only did they not solve the root of the problem, but they were even more disturbed.
At this time, some enthusiastic local people pointed out a bright path. They said that if they went to Minghe Group, everything would be solved. In the end, the enterprise did go to them, but Minghe Group's public relations fees were too high, so the enterprise angrily refused. In the end, the enterprise's factory was stormed and smashed. Later, they paid a lot of public relations fees to Minghe Group, and then they were able to resume normal operations.
As a result, some people joked that foreign enterprises, as long as they weren't particularly famous, had to pay protection fees to Minghe Group. Of course, Minghe Group never admitted to such things. They only collected public relations fees to help people solve their problems. As for why they didn't dare to cause trouble with large groups, it was because large groups that invested in Nanzhou were all valued by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Minghe Group wouldn't target those kinds of enterprises. This was also the reason why Minghe Group could continue to exist. Aside from the fact that the people in control of the company had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, it was also because the company picked on soft persimmons to squash.
Lin Hong was the chairman of Minghe Group and was also a famous female entrepreneur in Nanzhou. Although she rarely appeared in public, the business world of Nanzhou was no stranger to her. Although she was already 28 years old, she was still single. She had many followers, but none of them were able to win her heart. Some people said that Lin Hong was already taken, and that she had been bought over by some big boss. This kind of gossip was always heard, but not many people knew the truth. Those who knew the inside story just laughed it off, and no one revealed anything.
The reason why You Quan paid attention to this Lin Hong wasn't because of how powerful Lin Hong's group was. In terms of power, to be able to sit in the position of chairman of Nanzhou's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the companies under his control were quite large in Nanzhou City, and even in Nanhai Province. In his eyes, Lin Hong's company was nothing more than relying on connections to make money. Without a backer, a company like Lin Hong's would collapse with a bang. There was simply no way for them to survive.
To say that You Quan was moved by Lin Hong's beauty, that wasn't true. To say that he wasn't moved at all was impossible. The alluring scent that Lin Hong's body emitted would sometimes make a middle-aged man like him palpitate with eagerness. However, he had long passed the age of impulsiveness. Women, to him, had long since become the spice of life, dispensable. What he cared about was his own wealth, and when his status could rise to another level.
You Quan was also a person of great weight in Nanzhou City's business world. He had a wide network of friends, and his relationship with the government was also very harmonious. You Quan was even more clear on what kind of person Lin Hong was. Using eight words to describe her couldn't be more appropriate. She was as beautiful as a fairy, but her heart was as venomous as a scorpion's. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a person who could blackmail others. You Quan also had his own connections in the city, but when it came to Lin Hong, You Quan still maintained a respectful distance. A beauty was beautiful, but it also depended on whether one had the fortune to enjoy it.
At this moment, Lin Hong stood by his side and spoke. You Quan also replied with a smile. Tonight, the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary Ge, Deputy Secretary Shen, the newly appointed Mayor Chen, and Deputy Mayor Lin would all come. It could be said that the top few people in Nanzhou City were all coming. This also showed the importance that the city attached to the business world. He believed that everyone would be encouraged.
Lin Hong could feel the complacency in You Quan's words. He smiled and shot a glance at You Quan. Right now, the other party's face was beaming with happiness. Tonight, with so many important leaders present, You Quan, as the president, was clearly proud. If it was put in other people's eyes, they would also think that You Quan's connections in the government were very strong.
"Of course. These past few years, under President You's leadership, the Municipal Chamber of Commerce and Industry has played a significant role in promoting Nanzhou City's economic development. That's why we can have this kind of situation today. Therefore, it's all because of President You's leadership." Lin Hong's breath smelled like orchids, and he took the opportunity to flatter You Quan. In the social arena, what you relied on was your mouth. Regardless of whether you had background or not, it was necessary to have good relations with others. Lin Hong was well aware of this. You Quan was also considered a powerful businessman in Nanzhou City. Lin Hong didn't mind maintaining a harmonious relationship with him. Although she had a backer, she was still a businessman at heart. Business was business. She needed to have good relations with people in this circle to seek her own development.
。
A backer might not necessarily be able to be relied on for long. Lin Hong had always been preparing an escape route for herself. Even if Li Haocheng had always doted on her, who knew if there would be a day when he would get tired of her? Furthermore, it was hard to guarantee that Li Haocheng would always be in a high position. There would always be a time when he would stumble, or when he would retire to the second tier. At that time, Lin Hong could only rely on herself. It wasn't too early for her to prepare an escape route for herself. This was also the reason why Lin Hong wasn't willing to rely on a public relations consulting company to make a living. If she didn't have a backer like Li Haocheng, she wouldn't even be able to keep her company open. She still needed her own industry to feel at ease.
Oh right, President Lin, I wonder what the background of this new Mayor Chen is? Do you know? You Quan seemed to be asking Lin Hong inadvertently. He understood Lin Hong's background, so this question wasn't without purpose.
President You must be joking. If even you don't know, then there's no way I would know. I'm just a little girl. How would I know more about official matters than you? Lin Hong shook her head and said lightly. She really hadn't asked Li Haocheng about this. A few days ago, Li Haocheng spent a night at her villa. That night, she was busy talking about the Jindu Hotel. Li Haocheng tossed and turned on her stomach for half an hour before he fell asleep. She really didn't know much about Chen Xing.
You Quan's mouth moved, but he only chuckled and didn't say anything more. In the entire business world of Nanzhou City, Lin Hong could be considered a well-informed person. At this moment, he didn't know if Lin Hong really didn't know or was pretending to not know, so You Quan couldn't be bothered to ask.
En, even Miss Zheng is here? You Quan suddenly froze. When he saw the agile figure next to him, his expression suddenly became much more solemn.
Following You Quan's words, Lin Hong also looked to the side, and his expression also became very interesting. It was a very beautiful woman. In terms of looks, Lin Hong didn't think she was much worse than the other party, but she lacked a bit of temperament. They were both beautiful women. When they appeared in the same place, it was inevitable that they would be judged and secretly compete with each other. At least, that was what Lin Hong thought. However, every time he stood with the other party, Lin Hong always felt a sense of inferiority and lost the brilliance of the past. For a woman like Lin Hong who was very jealous, when she met a woman who could suppress her in all aspects, Lin Hong really couldn't restrain her sullenness. If she could, Lin Hong would definitely teach the other party a lesson. However, Li Haocheng had warned her not to offend that woman, so at this moment, when Lin Hong saw that the other party had also come tonight, her spirit wilted a lot.
The Miss Zheng in their eyes didn't come here, but entered the hotel alone. Lin Hong twitched his mouth and didn't look at the other party again. At this time, You Quan's eyes lit up. Here comes the leader.
As You Quan spoke, he had already stepped forward. He didn't know which leader came first. The car approached. When You Quan saw Ge Jian-ming through the window, his body trembled. He didn't expect that the first one to come would be the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming. This gave You Quan a shock. Usually, the leader who came last was the first to come today.
Secretary Ge, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come. You Quan stood in front of the car door, a small distance away from the car. This distance was very particular. When Ge Jian-ming got off the car, You Quan immediately went forward and shook hands with Ge Jian-ming respectfully.
En, the others are not here yet? Ge Jianming glanced around and frowned imperceptibly.
Not yet. You Quan laughed dryly. He knew that Ge Jian-ming was referring to the other officials in the city. At this moment, You Quan didn't dare to delay. Secretary Ge, please come in first.
You Quan introduced the members of the Chamber of Commerce to Ge Jian-ming. Secretary Ge, these are the backbone members of the Chamber of Commerce. They were all very encouraged when they heard that you would come tonight.
At this time, Ge Jian-ming finally had a smile on his face. With You Quan's introduction, Ge Jian-ming shook hands with the members of the Chamber of Commerce one by one and said with a smile, "You are all the pillars of the Nanzhou business community. You have made an indelible contribution to the economic development of the city. As a local official, I should be thanking you. It is my honor to attend your gathering tonight."
Ge Jian-ming's words drew cheers from the crowd. The speech of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was very good, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
You Quan glanced outside. The other leaders were not here yet. You Quan couldn't care about anything else. He smiled and led the way, entering the hotel with Ge Jian-ming. Taking good care of Ge Jian-ming was his top priority. Later, he would arrange someone to wait at the entrance for the other leaders to come.
Ge Jian-ming arrived a few minutes earlier. Not long after, Chen Xing, Shen Lingyue, Li Haocheng, and the others arrived one after another. Seeing that Ge Jian-ming was already here, everyone was surprised.
This is the new Mayor Chen. I don't think I need to introduce him to you. Ge Jian-ming stood together with Chen Xing with a smile and introduced him to You Quan.
No need, no need. I've already seen Mayor Chen's elegant demeanor on TV. Today, I can finally see him. You Quan shook Chen Xing's hand with a face full of smiles. His eyes carefully sized up Chen Xing. This was the first time he was in close contact with Chen Xing. Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity.
Feeling the strength from his hand, Chen Xing also smiled and nodded at You Quan. In the future, he would have to deal with these influential people in the Nanzhou business community.
Chen Xing and You Quan exchanged greetings. Then, with You Quan's introduction, they got to know some people. Tonight was his first appearance in front of the Nanzhou business community as the mayor. Chen Xing also seemed to be in high spirits.
