After Li Huiling got closer to Ma Yingjie, she looked straight at Ma Yingjie and asked, "Boss Luo, are you really going to invite Mr. Jack to a banquet this afternoon?"
"Yes, Secretary Luo. But, Mayor Li, where do you think the banquet should be held for Mr. Jack? After all, Mr. Jack is your guest. I think the reason why Secretary Luo invited Mr. Jack is to protect Wu Du's face for you. Once Secretary Luo appeared, at least it gave a signal to Mr. Jack that Wu Du welcomes Mr. Jack. The beautiful mayor went to greet him in person, and Secretary Luo held a banquet to entertain him. His impression of Wu Du will certainly not be bad. Mayor Li, this is just my opinion. If there is anything wrong, please give me some advice. "Ma Yingjie said these words while observing Li Huiling's expression secretly. Since Boss told him to act according to the circumstances, Ma Yingjie had to try to figure out Li Huiling's intention. Ma Yingjie also knew that Boss Luo was just looking for an excuse to let Li Huiling know that she should not be arrogant. In Wu Du's opinion, the real person who could act was Luo Tianyun, not Li Huiling. For this point, Ma Yingjie felt that Li Huiling didn't realize it. She thought that with Governor Lu Xinbo standing behind her, she had enough confidence to challenge Luo Tianyun. This was a woman's weakness in the officialdom. But of course, Ma Yingjie wouldn't say this to Li Huiling.
Originally, Li Huiling wanted to send Mr. Jack away. This was a decision she made early in the morning. She didn't want Luo Tianyun to see Mr. Jack. Now hearing Ma Yingjie's words, she thought it was reasonable. She found Mr. Jack first. Even if she asked Luo Tianyun to invite Mr. Jack, it was because she wanted to save her face. She could kill two birds with one stone, why not? Besides, if Luo Tianyun invited Mr. Jack, she would definitely accompany him. If she was there, what could Luo Tianyun do? With this thought, Li Huiling said to Ma Yingjie straightforwardly, "Ma Yingjie, I'll leave the banquet to you. I believe you will know how to arrange it."
Hearing Li Huiling's words, Ma Yingjie let out a sigh of relief. He could finally report this to his boss, Luo Tianyun. Just when Ma Yingjie was about to discuss with Li Huiling, someone knocked on Li Huiling's office door.
Li Huiling shouted, "Come in." The door was pushed open, and Ma Yingjie's eyes fell on the person who came in. However, the person who came in didn't expect Ma Yingjie to be in Li Huiling's office. A trace of unnatural expression appeared on his face, but he soon said, "Hello, Mayor Li." Then, he nodded to Ma Yingjie, which was a greeting to Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie hurriedly said, "Hello, Mayor Gu."
Gu Qingming made a sound. Ma Yingjie didn't hear it clearly, but Ma Yingjie didn't bother to hear it clearly. He looked at Li Huiling and said, "Mayor Li, let's set the venue of the banquet in Wu Du Hotel. What do you think?"
"You can arrange it. I believe you will arrange it well," Li Huiling said again. Ma Yingjie saw Gu Qingming's expression change from the corner of his eyes. He was worried that Gu Qingming would say something else, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trust, Mayor Li. I'll go prepare it."
Ma Yingjie wanted to get out of this unscathed. If Gu Qingming got in his way, he really didn't know how to deal with it. It wasn't easy to deal with Li Huiling, but it was not easy to deal with Gu Qingming. Besides, Gu Qingming was a local of Wu Du Hotel, so Ma Yingjie didn't want to have a conflict with him at the moment.
Li Huiling felt that Gu Qingming wanted to talk to her. Seeing that Ma Yingjie wanted to leave, she hurriedly waved her hand. Ma Yingjie said goodbye to Gu Qingming and quickly left Li Huiling's office.
When Ma Yingjie walked out of Li Huiling's office, he carefully closed the door for Li Huiling and Gu Qingming. The moment he closed the door, Gu Qingming's anxious voice came out, "Mayor, did you agree to let Boss Luo invite Mr. Jack to a banquet?"
"Yes." Li Huiling answered indifferently.
"Old Luo is an old fox. Inviting Mr. Jack to a banquet is definitely not a good thing. Why did you agree to it? And this Ma Yingjie is also a schemer. How can you trust such a person? " The more Gu Qingming said, the angrier and more wronged he became. It seemed that he was so loyal to Li Huiling, but Li Huiling trusted Ma Yingjie, which made him feel very unbalanced. Besides, Ma Yingjie had gained a lot. In just one year, he had been promoted from a deputy director to a director. If this went on, Ma Yingjie would sooner or later climb over his head, which was the last thing Gu Qingming wanted to see. So early in the morning, when he heard from his secretary that Ma Yingjie had entered Li Huiling's office, he became anxious. When Ma Yingjie didn't come out after a long time, he was really anxious. He pretended to know nothing and broke into Li Huiling's office. Unexpectedly, he still heard the words he didn't want to hear the most. Li Huiling still trusted Ma Yingjie and let Ma Yingjie invite Mr. Jack to a banquet.
Gu Qingming was really afraid that Li Huiling would really do something. He had worked with Luo Tianyun for so long, but he couldn't figure out Luo Tianyun's mind. Li Huiling just came to Wu Du, but he wanted to figure out Luo Tianyun's intention. How could it be possible?
During this period, it seemed that Luo Tianyun didn't care about the high-speed railway station. However, the more he did so, the more it proved that Luo Tianyun cared about the construction of the high-speed railway station. Only when he cared about one thing, he would pretend to be so indifferent. However, Li Huiling thought that she had taken advantage of a loophole. She had taken action before Luo Tianyun could make a move. She had been preparing for this period of time, and this time, she had invited Mr. Jack. Linzigou had become the first place to build a high-speed railway station. In her opinion, it was a matter that she was determined to win.
The construction of the high-speed railway station was a fat piece of meat. No leader, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would use all their strength to fight for this fat piece of meat. Once the construction was successful, it would be incomparable wealth and political achievements. In this era, high-speed operation had become a necessity in the era of consumption. No project was more tempting than the construction of the high-speed railway, and no project could bring more benefits than the construction of the high-speed railway. This was something that even fools knew and were willing to fight for. Besides, other projects were at most one project, and the benefits could be seen and calculated clearly. The size of the cake of a project could be clearly seen by people with discerning eyes. However, in the era of the high-speed railway, the high-speed railway project was absolutely different. The high-speed railway line was a line, but this line was enough to pass through the heart of this era. Whoever grasped this line could make countless articles. This line could revitalize the economy of the whole city. This line could be hung up and used as a sword to attract investment everywhere. To put it bluntly, with the high-speed railway line, this big hen laid a giant egg. This kind of egg was something that all those in power wanted, would want, and would fight for with their lives.
But now, the egg was in his hands, and Li Huiling wanted Ma Yingjie to participate in it. Who was Ma Yingjie? Didn't Li Huiling know that?
It was a lie that Gu Qingming was not in a hurry. He thought that he could smoothly sail to the destination he wanted after getting on Li Huiling's boat, and the high-speed railway construction was firmly in his hands. With the high-speed railway construction, political achievements, resources, and wealth would all come. This was also the reason why he worked so hard to follow Li Huiling. He didn't expect that Ma Yingjie would extend his hand to the high-speed railway station construction project before he came to Wu Du. Moreover, on the first day he took office, he asked Li Huiling to give him the invitation. This was what Gu Qingming was most afraid of, and also what he was most worried about. When Luo Tianyun and Ma Yingjie, the inseparable master and servant, reunited again, Gu Qingming was afraid.
Now, both Li Huiling and Luo Tianyun wanted to take advantage of the high-speed railway construction to build a new city. Moreover, when a large amount of land was redistributed, both of them wanted to have control over it. Besides, Qiu Jiawan and Linzigou were located outside of the city. If they could make use of the opportunity of the high-speed rail construction to build a new city outside of the city, they would be able to gather the money of the country, the money from other places, and even the money from outside the port. At that time, the glorious future would be a dream for all the officials. This dream was within reach because Minister Qian Guangyao was from Capital Wu. And because Minister Qian Guangyao had already hooked up with Ran Bingbing. This was not a secret, and Gu Qingming already knew it like the back of his hand. Besides, was there anything more tempting than building a new city? The construction of a new city would affect every nerve in the area, and every meridian in the area would be activated. Of course, the most active ones were the local officials of Wu Du.
Therefore, Gu Qingming strongly recommended Mr. Jack to Li Huiling. He was a living international brand. With his design in the new city, there was no need to worry about attracting money. For this plan, he planned to petition to the higher authorities. He wanted to take the ownership of the high-speed railway construction from Luo Tianyun. He wanted to veto their original plan and start from scratch. Gu Qingming watched as the plan was realized step by step. He watched as a brand new and beautiful new city rose from the ground. He watched as the blueprint of the future waved at him. However, Ma Yingjie took advantage of a series of loopholes. This was something Gu Qingming absolutely could not tolerate. Besides, at the most critical moment, everyone was afraid of new problems. Gu Qingming was afraid, and so was Luo Tianyun. Li Huiling, who didn't know his limits, had led his opponent to his own territory. In the officialdom, the officials always didn't want to see new problems, but the most important thing they could do was to let others do new problems. It seemed that this contradiction could never be reconciled.
