Mr. Chen, I don't know what benefits Zhao Qiang promised you, but I really hope that you won't interfere in our company's affairs. I'm in charge of the company. This is the will of Zhao Qiang's father. I hope that Mr. Chen won't cooperate with Zhao Qiang. After another short silence, Zhong Ling said to Chen Junhe.
Miss Zhong Ling, it's not right for you to say that. Why would Zhao Qiang promise me any benefits? I'm willing to invest in the Zhao Group because I'm optimistic about its future. I know that your group has just opened a tourist area in Jianghai Province. I've also learned about it. I'm very optimistic about the future of that tourist area. The other businesses of the Zhao Group can be said to be developing well. Although the current scale of the Zhao Group can't be compared with those big companies that are worth more than ten billion yuan, I'm optimistic about your potential. I'm investing in the Zhao Group purely out of the profit-seeking market behavior of businessmen. If there's potential, I'll invest. How can you say that I'm cooperating with Mr. Zhao Qiang?
Chen Junhe stared at Zhong Ling. His burning eyes seemed to melt Zhong Ling and continued. Also, Miss Zhong Ling also said that Mr. Zhao Qiang's father made a will to let you take charge of the company, but that will is different from my investment in the Zhao Group. A company must abide by the market rules to survive in the market. Don't you think so, Miss Zhong Ling? "
Chen Junhe said with a confident and calm smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. He added, "As far as I know, the tourist area in Jianghai Province occupied almost 80% of your group's cash flow, and you also borrowed a lot of money from the bank. At present, your group should be in a very tense stage of capital chain. I think I'll invest a lot of money at this time. It should be timely and urgent. The other shareholders of your group are very welcome. I don't know why Miss Zhong Ling is so resistant.
I didn't expect Mr. Chen to know the situation of our company like the back of his hand. " Zhong Ling gave Chen Junhe a rather sarcastic look.
"As an investor, of course, I need to have a deep understanding of the company I want to invest in. Whether it has market potential, the company's operating performance, and so on, I have to know all these. Otherwise, how can I dare to invest with confidence? After all, I'm taking out 500 million yuan, not 500 million Vietnamese Dong. Even the richest person has to be cautious. Chen Junhe smiled.
So, does Mr. Chen have to get involved in our company's business? Zhong Ling looked at Chen Junhe, trying her best to control her emotions.
Miss Zhong Ling, why do you have such a deep prejudice against me? My investment in your company is a normal market investment. It has nothing to do with any involvement. I have no intention of getting involved in the matter between you and Zhao Qiang. Chen Junhe smiled bitterly. The expression on his face did not seem to be fake at all. Soon, Chen Junhe spread his hands and said with a smile, "It's rare for Miss Zhong Ling to come today. Can we talk about something else instead of these business investments? Otherwise, it would be too much of a wet blanket."
Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. My mind is on the company. I'm not in the mood to talk about other things. Zhong Ling glanced at Chen Junhe. That handsome face was now disgusting in her eyes. Zhong Ling wanted to spit on it. Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ling thought that since she came out with Chen Junhe today, she should make things clear. She simply said, "Mr. Chen, let's be frank. What will it take for you to give up the cooperation with Zhao Qiang?" "I don't know what Mr. Chen thinks about the potential of the Zhao Group, but I think only Mr. Chen himself knows what he is thinking. I hope that Mr. Chen is an expert. There are many companies with great development potential but in urgent need of funds. Mr. Chen can invest in them, but don't invest in our Zhao Group."
"Miss Zhong Ling, you're a business operator. How can you say such childish words? It's my business which company I want to invest in. I've never seen someone like Miss Zhong Ling who takes the initiative to reject an investment." Chen Junhe looked at Zhong Ling and smiled. The meaning of his words had clearly indicated that he would not give up the cooperation with Zhao Qiang. Just when Zhong Ling thought that Chen Junhe could no longer be persuaded, Chen Junhe changed the topic. "However, I really admire Miss Zhong Ling. If Miss Zhong Ling really wants me to give up the investment, I can consider it if you can come up with conditions that can tempt me."
"Conditions that can tempt you?" She didn't know what the conditions that could tempt Mr. Chen was referring to. Zhong Ling was stunned. Then she looked at Chen Junhe vigilantly. Chen Junhe said the word "admire", and she vaguely guessed something in her heart.
"Hehe, I didn't expect a smart person like Miss Zhong Ling to deliberately pretend to be stupid. I think Miss Zhong Ling understands what I mean. If that's the case, then I'm too disappointed." Chen Junhe looked at Zhong Ling with a faint smile. The fiery passion in the depths of his eyes had already expressed his inner thoughts.
"I just don't understand what Mr. Chen means." Zhong Ling's heart tightened. What she was afraid of had come true.
"It's meaningless for Miss Zhong Ling to pretend to be confused, but since Miss Zhong Ling wants me to make it clear, then I'll be thick-skinned and say it. My condition is for Miss Zhong Ling to be my girlfriend. What do you think, Miss Zhong Ling?" Chen Junhe looked at Zhong Ling and smiled.
"Mr. Chen, you must be joking. I'm a married woman. Although my husband has passed away, I have never thought of finding a new life partner for myself. I can only disappoint Mr. Chen. If that's the condition, then there's no need to talk about it." Zhong Ling looked displeased.
"Miss Zhong Ling is still young. Is she really going to be a widow for the dead Zhao Gaopeng?" "Hey, I don't believe it." Chen Junhe sneered.
"Mr. Chen, please behave yourself. What do you mean by that?" Zhong Ling's face was livid. She was infuriated by Chen Junhe's words.
"No, I just said it casually. Miss Zhong Ling, you don't have to take it to heart. But I still mean what I said just now. I hope that Miss Zhong Ling can be my girlfriend. Since the first time I saw Miss Zhong Ling, I fell in love with Miss Zhong Ling. I believe that you are the other half of my life. I hope to create a career with Miss Zhong Ling. Chen Junhe looked at Zhong Ling with a fiery gaze.
At this time, Zhong Ling almost vomited when she heard Chen Junhe's words. Fortunately, she hadn't had dinner tonight. Otherwise, she would have vomited. Chen Junhe was a proud and successful man, but he said those words without blushing and was so narcissistic. Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Zhong Ling said, "I don't know if Mr. Chen has heard of the saying that a forced melon will not be sweet. I have no feelings for Mr. Chen at all. Mr. Chen keeps saying that he wants me to be his girlfriend. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"There's nothing ridiculous about it. Feelings are cultivated. Miss Zhong Ling often refuses my invitation. Of course, that won't work. I think if Miss Zhong Ling is willing to come out as often as she did today, as long as Miss Zhong Ling has more contact with me, she will fall in love with me." Chen Junhe said with a confident face.
After hearing Chen Junhe's words, Zhong Ling couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up directly and sneered. "I don't think I have so much time to cultivate feelings with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen should find someone else. Excuse me!" After Zhong Ling finished speaking, she ignored Chen Junhe and walked straight out of the box.
Chen Junhe, who was sitting in his seat, watched Zhong Ling leave angrily. He didn't say anything to stop her. He looked at Zhong Ling with a sneer. His eyes were malicious. He wanted to pursue Zhong Ling. It was nonsense to say that he liked Zhong Ling. He just wanted to swallow the Zhao Group and get both wealth and beauty. Although Zhong Ling was a divorced woman, Chen Junhe didn't mind talking about love with Zhong Ling because of her appearance. After he successfully swallowed the Zhao Group, it wouldn't be too late to kick her away.
Tonight's meeting with Zhong Ling was not very pleasant, but Chen Junhe was not in a hurry at all. The good show had just begun. Zhao Qiang was purely a fool. Chen Junhe was not worried about Zhao Qiang. On the contrary, Zhao Qiang would help him a lot. Zhao Qiang wanted to help him regain control of the company, but he didn't know that Chen Junhe was a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Only a fool like Zhao Qiang would naively think that his so-called good brother would help him sincerely. But how could there be so many Lei Feng in this world?
However, because Zhao Qiang was stupid enough, Chen Junhe had a chance to take advantage of him. Zhao Qiang would cooperate with him in the company. Chen Junhe believed that when their next moves were carried out step by step, Zhong Ling's situation would be even more difficult. He didn't believe that he couldn't get a woman.
When Zhong Ling left the hotel, Chen Xing was on the third floor of the hotel, exchanging toasts with the people of Yangcheng's Nanzhou Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Shiqing and the other people of the Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to toast Chen Xing. Chen Xing also gave face to these entrepreneurs of the Chamber of Commerce. He did not refuse any of them, and mingled with the people of the Chamber of Commerce. The atmosphere was lively.
After three rounds of wine, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Chairman Zhao, this time I am representing my hometown government to attract investment in Yangcheng. I won't talk about other people, but all of you here are the elites of our Nanzhou City. You have struggled outside and achieved certain results. It has not been easy for you, but it is also very amazing. As the mayor of Nanzhou, I am proud that there is a group of outstanding people like you in Nanzhou City. But as the old saying goes, when you become rich, you must repay your hometown. You have achieved success outside, but don't forget the people of your hometown. Here, on behalf of the people of my hometown and the government, I sincerely invite all of my friends here to return to your hometown to start a second business. Nanzhou City will always be your home, and you are always welcome to come back and invest."
Zheng Jue had been sitting quietly, listening to Chen Xing's impassioned words. Zheng Jue couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Xing's eloquence.
Mayor Chen, your words have also touched the bottom of our hearts. It's not that we don't want to return to our hometown to invest and start a business, to repay the people of our hometown. Mayor Chen, since you have come to Yangcheng this time, we who are wandering outside should also respond to your call and actively return to our hometown to invest and investigate. After Chen Xing finished speaking, Zhao Shiqing followed up on Chen Xing's words.
Chen Xing nodded with a face full of smiles. Zhao Shiqing's words were a gesture. He didn't expect these people to rush back to their hometown to invest just because of a few words from him. Businessmen pursued profits, and the essence of the market was to obtain profits. If there weren't good and suitable business opportunities in their hometown, they wouldn't take out money to invest just because of his words. However, it was undeniable that people were social creatures with feelings. In two different cities, with the same business opportunities and conditions, Chen Xing believed that these people would choose to invest in their hometown first. This was all he wanted, and it was enough.
After drinking a lot of wine, Chen Xing excused himself to go to the bathroom. He stood by the window in the corridor and felt the cold wind for a while. After drinking, his whole body was warm, but when the cold wind blew, his whole body felt comfortable, and he also felt much more energetic.
Eh, why does that look like Zhong Ling's back? Chen Xing blinked and tried to look down. From upstairs, he couldn't see very clearly. The person who looked like Zhong Ling's back had also stepped into the car. The door was closed, and he couldn't see her back anymore.
That Mercedes-Benz RV really looked like Zhong Ling's. Chen Xing glanced at the car, smiled, and shook his head. He didn't think too much about it. Someone called him from behind.
Mayor Chen, I knew you were outside. You Quan walked up with a smile. Mayor Chen, are you okay? If you can't drink anymore, you have to control yourself later. I think Mayor Chen really drank a lot just now.
It's okay. It's rare for us to get together with our friends from the Yang Cheng Chamber of Commerce today. Everyone is in a good mood, and it's okay to drink a few more glasses. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.
I just chatted with Zhao Shiqing for a while. He really intends to return to his hometown to invest. His glass factory is now in the stage of rapid expansion, and he is considering building branches in other places. He said this time he wants to go back to his hometown to have a look. You Quan smiled.
Really, that's a good thing. In fact, if the entrepreneurs of Nanzhou outside of Nanzhou are united, it will also be a huge force. Chen Xing smiled. He still remembered the list in his hand. There were many people who had achieved success outside of Nanzhou.
Not bad, especially entrepreneurs like Zhao Shiqing who had achieved success outside of Nanzhou. If they all returned to their hometown to invest and start a business, it would be a huge return of capital. You Quan nodded in agreement.
This time, the first stop for investment was set to be Yang Cheng. He hoped to get a good start. He didn't want to leave without any results. Chen Xing smiled. This time, as the mayor, he personally led the team to visit a few cities. Many people in the city were also waiting to see his results. If he didn't achieve anything, many people would probably laugh at him. Chen Xing was also under a lot of pressure. Nowadays, the government's economy was in charge, and investment was the top priority. While Chen Xing attached importance to environmental protection and education, he also couldn't ignore economic development. His policy philosophy was to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic development. The two should not conflict, and sustainable economic development should not be at the expense of the environment.
I believe that Mayor Chen will succeed. You Quan smiled and complimented Chen Xing.
President You, I've troubled you a lot on this trip and wasted a lot of your time. You won't delay President You's work, right? Chen Xing turned to You Quan and said.
That won't happen. I'm in a semi-retired state now. The company has my children and professionals to take care of it. I'm very free. This time, I can come out with Mayor Chen and do something for the city. In fact, I'm very happy. You Quan smiled.
President You, I see that you're still young. Are you planning to give up your position so soon? Chen Xing smiled and said, "I have to retire sooner or later.
I should let the young people have more chances to advance and give them some training. Otherwise, how can I hand over the company to them in the future with confidence? " You Quan smiled. He also had a pair of children. His daughter was married, and his son had just graduated. Both of them were working in the company. Now, his daughter and son-in-law were also in charge of a branch company. They were doing well. You Quan was very satisfied with his children.
As the two of them were talking, Zheng Jue also came out. When You Quan saw Zheng Jue, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Zheng also came out.
I was wondering why I didn't see President You and Mayor Chen. It turns out that they've gone outside to cool off. " Zheng Jue smiled.
…
Zhong Ling left the hotel in a car with a depressed look on her face. She had met with Chen Junhe tonight to try to persuade him not to interfere with the internal affairs of the Zhao Group. However, as Chen Junhe had said, his investment was just a normal market investment. Zhong Ling had no right to stop him. Zhao Qiang and the other founding members of the company who had started the business with Zhao Gaopeng added up to 50% of the shares. Since they had all agreed, Zhong Ling had no way to stop them.
Thinking about the company, Zhong Ling's face turned solemn. She had rushed back to Yangcheng after the New Year because the company was facing a crisis. Zhao Qiang was unwilling to let her take charge of the company. Zhong Ling didn't expect Zhao Qiang to bring in an outsider this time. She didn't know what Zhao Qiang was thinking. Chen Junhe was obviously not a kind person. Zhao Qiang was obviously inviting a wolf into the house.
After thinking for a long time, Zhong Ling finally called Zhao Qiang. As a stepmother who was younger than Zhao Qiang, she rarely took the initiative to call Zhao Qiang.
"Zhao Qiang, where are you? Can we come out and talk?" Zhong Ling said to Zhao Qiang.
"Oh, isn't this my good stepmother? Did the sun rise from the west today? She actually called me." Zhao Qiang said sarcastically on the other end of the phone.
"Zhao Qiang, I want to meet you. Tell me, where are you?" Zhong Ling went straight to the point. She knew Zhao Qiang's character. It was fine to let him ridicule her, but there was no need to pay attention to him. The more she paid attention to him, the worse he would say.
"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to ask me out today. This is really rare." Zhao Qiang smiled proudly. "I'm at Lianfeng Hotel. If you want to come, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Ling frowned. She could still hear the laughter of a woman beside Zhao Qiang. She had heard of Lianfeng Hotel, which was also a five-star hotel. In Yang City, five-star hotels were not very rare, but Lianfeng Hotel was famous. The sauna inside was very famous in Yang City.
