Jiang Wan was listening to Chen Xing talking on the phone. She could hear a female voice on the other end of the phone, and she could see that when Chen Xing was talking to the other party, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. After seeing Chen Xing hang up the phone, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who did you talk to? Mayor Chen, you are smiling so happily."
An old friend of the family. Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Jiang Wan. He had forgotten that Jiang Wan also had some impression of Zhong Ling. He couldn't help but ask, "Zhong Ling, do you remember her?
Is she that Chairman Zhong? " Jiang Wan's eyes lit up slightly. How could she not remember her? Although she didn't know Zhong Ling, she, a weak woman, came out alone with the idea of becoming a strong woman like Zhong Ling. She hoped that one day she could return to her hometown in glory and make people look at her with new eyes. In her heart, Zhong Ling was once her inspiration.
"Yes, it's her. The tourist area she invested in in Ximen County has been completed and is ready to open for business during the Spring Festival. She asked me to go back to support her." Chen Xing said with a smile, "Jiang Wan, do you plan to go back for the Spring Festival?"
"I … I don't know yet." Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, and her expression darkened. She sighed silently. Of course, she wanted to go back, but deep in her heart, she was still afraid of the cold past. Although she had left in a fit of pique, and she did not have the slightest bit of nostalgia for the home of the past, nor did she have the slightest bit of affection for it. However, in the end, she did not officially divorce her husband. At that time, she was hot-headed and left with a few hundred dollars.
Now thinking about it, Jiang Wan didn't know if her husband's family would still come to pester her after she went back. This was what Jiang Wan was most worried about, but she really wanted to go back. She hadn't been home for two years. Thinking of her white-haired parents and her brother who couldn't walk, Jiang Wan's eyes became moist.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Seeing Jiang Wan's appearance, Chen Xing was immediately flustered. A waiter passed by and also looked at them strangely, which made Chen Xing smile bitterly. Those who didn't know better would think that he was bullying the proprietress of this restaurant.
"Nothing, I suddenly miss home." Jiang Wan picked up a tissue to wipe her tears and squeezed out a smile.
If you're homesick, then go back for the New Year. It's almost the end of the year, and there are only a few days left before the New Year. Look at you crying. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. Look at those waiters. Maybe they think I'm a hooligan.
I might not be able to go back this year. Jiang Wan shook her head sadly. It was the Spring Festival, and the restaurant's business was good. I might not be able to leave. Moreover, this was the first Spring Festival since I took over the restaurant. No matter what, I should stay and keep an eye on it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease.
You're right. Chen Xing suddenly understood and looked at Jiang Wan thoughtfully. He knew that Jiang Wan probably still had something on her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shed tears for no reason. However, since she didn't intend to say it, Chen Xing wouldn't be nosy enough to ask. Changing the topic, Chen Xing smiled and said, "I didn't book a private room in advance tonight. I wonder if Boss Jiang still has a seat?"
"Mayor Chen is making fun of me again. You call me Boss Jiang, I can't accept it." Jiang Wan's attention was diverted by Chen Xing's question. Her tears turned into a smile, and she coquettishly rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. "Others might not have a seat, but Mayor Chen, you can always have a seat."
"That's good. If there aren't any seats, I plan to ask Boss Jiang to set up a table for me at the door. I'll sit there and eat." Chen Xing smiled and walked upstairs with Jiang Wan.
If Mayor Chen really sat at the door to eat, it would become the headline of Nanzhou City tomorrow. Jiang Wan covered her mouth and chuckled. At the same time, she introduced to Chen Xing, "There are a few private rooms upstairs that Lin Hong left for emergency use. I also left them there because I was afraid that there would be no place to entertain the guests. I didn't expect it to be put to use so quickly."
"Oh right, who is Mayor Chen inviting tonight? Why did he ask you to come and book a seat first?" After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she asked curiously.
"He's also a friend from our hometown. He didn't ask me to come and book a seat first. It's just that the time I agreed on with him hasn't arrived yet. I just came early to see how your business is doing." Chen Xing smiled.
"Thank you, Mayor Chen, for your concern." Jiang Wan was startled when she heard that. She looked at Chen Xing with a certain affection in her eyes again.
Chen Xing didn't pay attention to Jiang Wan's expression. He took out his phone and called Sha Yuanbao, telling him that he had arrived early. After telling Sha Yuanbao the private room number, Chen Xing sat down. He still chose a seat by the window and opened the window. The cold sea breeze blew in, adding some coldness to the winter night. However, it made people feel more energetic. Chen Xing especially liked this feeling.
"Mayor Chen, what do you want to drink? I'll get it for you." Jiang Wan stood aside and said.
"I'll ask the waiter to bring up a pot of tea." Chen Xing smiled. "Jiang Wan, go and do your work. As a big boss, you don't have to stay here all the time. Just go and do what you need to do. We don't need to stand on ceremony."
"I don't have anything to do. Besides, I have to accompany the mayor no matter how busy I am. Other people don't have this opportunity." Jiang Wan smiled mischievously, like a young girl. There was no trace of being a wife at all.
Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Chen Xing didn't insist. Jiang Wan simply sat aside and chatted with Chen Xing. About a few minutes later, Sha Yuanbao and Huang Ming came over together. As soon as they entered the door, Sha Yuanbao apologized repeatedly. "Oh, I didn't expect Mayor Chen to come and wait for me in advance. I'm so impolite. I'll punish myself with a cup of tea later.
"Chairman Sha, don't be so polite. There are still more than ten minutes before our appointment. I came here in advance because I have nothing to do. This restaurant is opened by a friend of mine. I came here to drink tea and chat with her." Chen Xing smiled and introduced Jiang Wan to Sha Yuanbao. "She is also from Hai City. She is from Ximen County.
"Oh, we are from Hai City. When fellow villagers see each other, tears will come out of their eyes. We, who are working hard in different places, should support each other." Sha Yuanbao enthusiastically reached out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Wan. It seemed that he was very polite to Jiang Wan. As for whether it was because of Chen Xing, only Sha Yuanbao himself knew. But there was no doubt that Sha Yuanbao's way of doing things left a good impression on others.
"Jiang Wan, Chairman Sha is the famous richest man in Hai City. I don't know if you've heard of him." Chen Xing knew that Jiang Wan was still confused about Sha Yuanbao's identity and threw him a questioning look, so he said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Xing's introduction, Jiang Wan, who was shaking hands with Sha Yuanbao politely, was shocked. She was born in a humble family. She had never thought that she would shake hands with such a rich man. The way she looked at Sha Yuanbao was very different. This was the real richest man in the city. In her eyes, he was also an unattainable figure.
"Chairman Sha, Jiang Wan and I are really working hard in different places. You are different. You should be the one supporting us." Huang Ming joked at the side. For a wealthy man like Sha Yuanbao, wherever he went, he would be warmly received by the local officials. Unlike Huang Ming, who had to work hard to build up his business and make connections everywhere. If it wasn't for Chen Xing backing him up, Huang Ming didn't think that his business would be doing so well.
"You Xiao Huang." Sha Yuanbao smiled and nodded at Huang Ming. He did not say anything and looked at Chen Xing. After they exchanged greetings again, they took their seats. Sha Yuanbao was still accompanied by his beautiful female assistant. Their relationship did not seem to be that of a simple superior and subordinate relationship.
As the owner of the restaurant, Jiang Wan was busy preparing for the meal. Sha Yuanbao looked at Huang Ming and said with a smile, "Xiao Huang, there is an opportunity now. I wonder if you dare to invest."
"Oh, Chairman Sha, tell me about it." Huang Ming's eyes lit up. Sha Yuanbao had called him over tonight. Huang Ming had thought that it was because of his good relationship with Chen Xing. Now it seemed that there was another reason.
"I want to invest in a building in Chongbei City. If you are interested, you can also invest. Depending on how much money you have, I will convert it to your total investment." Sha Yuanbao smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. He was not afraid of Huang Ming investing. No matter how rich Huang Ming was, in his eyes, that amount of money was nothing. If he let Huang Ming invest, he would not be able to get a lot of shares. He would only be indirectly pulling Chen Xing in. The current problem was that he could not get the land he wanted. Initially, the officials of Chongbei City were very warm to him and welcomed him to invest. However, once they heard that he wanted the land where the Municipal Government Guest House was, the officials' attitude became ambiguous. They actively introduced him to other land, but they did not mention the guest house. This made Sha Yuanbao feel helpless.
Investing in real estate. Hearing this, Huang Ming frowned. The real estate business was not as small as his investment in the restaurant. It was not something that he could afford to invest billions of yuan in. However, Sha Yuanbao was rich. If he could follow Sha Yuanbao and get a share of the profits, it might be a good choice. Huang Ming thought to himself. Previously, his eyes were fixed on the F&B industry. Maybe this was an opportunity to step into other industries. Although the real estate market had passed its most glorious period, it was still recognized as a rising industry. Huang Ming seemed to be tempted, but then he smiled bitterly. I'm afraid that Chairman Sha won't be interested in my little money.
Xiao Huang, what you said is meaningless. Do I look like that kind of person to you? Sha Yuanbao pretended to be unhappy. Although he said so, Sha Yuanbao did not really care about Huang Ming. Huang Ming's greatest value was his relationship with Chen Xing. This was what Sha Yuanbao was interested in. Sometimes, relationships could not be bought with money. For people like Chen Xing, who was already in a high position at such a young age and had a bright future, Sha Yuanbao guessed that Chen Xing's pursuit of money would not be very strong. Therefore, Sha Yuanbao wanted to start with Huang Ming. This was also a way for Chen Xing to build a good relationship.
Chairman Sha, let me think about this matter. I will give you an answer as soon as possible. Huang Ming thought about it carefully. He did not agree immediately. Even if he agreed, it would depend on whether he could raise the money. Therefore, Huang Ming did not dare to agree on a whim. He had to think about it carefully later.
Chen Xing saw that the two were almost done talking. He smiled and said, "Is Chairman Sha familiar with the general manager of Watson Pharmaceutical, Wu Zhongming?
Old Wu, I have a good relationship with him. Speaking of which, I also hold 10% of the shares of Watson Pharmaceutical. " Sha Yuanbao smiled and looked at Chen Xing in confusion. Why did Mayor Chen suddenly ask about this?
It's nothing. I just happened to go to Xing Hua County two days ago. It just so happened that Watson Pharmaceutical was inspecting Xing Hua County. I hope to promote Watson Pharmaceutical to invest in Xing Hua County. Xing Hua County is extremely rich in Chinese herbal medicine resources. This is a natural treasure that has not been developed yet. Chen Xing explained to Sha Yuanbao and said, "Since Chairman Sha is familiar with Boss Wu, then I will take the liberty to ask Chairman Sha to help me in this matter.
Mayor Chen is too polite. I just heard from Old Wu yesterday that he values the resources of Xing Hua County very much. He originally intended to invest in Xing Hua County. This matter is not a difficult matter. I will help Mayor Chen, it should not be a big problem. " Sha Yuanbao smiled in a relaxed manner.
That's great. It seems that I owe Chairman Sha another favor. Chen Xing was in a good mood.
Please don't. Mayor Chen's words are too kind to me. Sha Yuanbao waved his hand again and again.
