Li Rui casually said, "As long as the interests of our county can be guaranteed, there's no need to bargain with them. It's not a bad idea to accept their investment plan. It can also save time and improve the efficiency of the enterprise."
Bo Yubing's pretty face suddenly froze. She stared at him with a strange expression and said in a sarcastic tone, "You are so generous. You sold the scenic spot to others without bargaining. Did you receive benefits from others?"
Li Rui laughed. "How is that possible? I am an honest and upright person. How can I accept bribes from investors? You're the one who said that there's no bargaining, okay? I'm just following your lead. "
Bo Yubing rolled her eyes at Dong Xuebing. "Luckily, you are not the County Mayor. If not, you will have to sell the County's assets cheaply!"
Li Rui chuckled and said, "Then why don't you sell it to me at a high price?"
Bo Yubing ignored Dong Xuebing and returned to her seat. She picked up the phone and made a call. "We need to hold a meeting with the Standing Committee to discuss this investment, and we need people from the Tourism Bureau to attend. We need to make a few copies of this report."
Li Rui looked at the time on his watch. It's already 2.30 pm. Although it's still not too late to hold the Standing Committee meeting, the members of the Standing Committee will not be able to give any good opinions if they attend the meeting without understanding the situation. "Make copies of this report first. Every member of the Standing Committee, including the leaders of the Tourism Bureau and Investment Promotion Agency, will have a copy. Let them understand Mr. Jiang's investment proposal through this report. We will hold a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss this project."
Bo Yubing put down the phone and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Are you the County Mayor or am I the County Mayor? Do I need you to teach me what to do? "
Li Rui shrugged at Dong Xuebing and walked out.
Bo Yubing rolled her eyes at Dong Xuebing, but she is holding back her smile. After Dong Xuebing left, Bo Yubing looked at the report and sighed. "What's the point of sending a copy of this report to everyone? Could it be that we, the government officials, are better than that professional investment advisor? Sigh, it's just some random research. "
Before he got off work in the evening, Fang Qingyun personally called Li Rui and invited him to have dinner together. She even said that Zhang Wei would accompany him. Li Rui had already made an appointment with Jiang Han. How could he miss the appointment? He made an appointment with Jiang Han for tomorrow night.
After work, Li Rui called Jiang Han and asked her what she wanted to eat for dinner. Jiang Han didn't know what to eat, so she asked him to recommend a place to eat the northern specialties. Li Rui didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of the northeastern style Kitchen Fish (Stewed Fish in an Iron Pot) that he had eaten with Ma Yuming and Gao Jianxin. Although this dish wasn't a local dish in Shuanghe, it had a unique northern flavor. He thought that it would be attractive to a southerner like Jiang Han, so he recommended it to her. Jiang Han gladly agreed.
After returning to the guest house, Li Rui drove straight to the hotel where Jiang Han was staying, the Huangting Hotel. He picked her up at the hotel's main entrance and drove all the way south along Shuangyang Road to the farmhouse in the southern suburbs.
From two o 'clock in the afternoon to six o' clock now, Jiang Han had actually changed her outfit in such a short period of time. Her rose-red formal suit was gone and was replaced by an extremely sexy casual dress. She wore a wine-red long-sleeved high-collared sweater which was light and tight. It wrapped around her straight and slender shoulders, slender and well-proportioned arms, and her voluptuous breasts and slender waist. Her curves were moving. She wore a densely checkered miniskirt which hugged her hips. Below the miniskirt, her slender legs were wrapped in blue-gray velvet stockings and she wore a pair of black, pointy boots. Such an outfit, on a mature beauty like her, was extremely sexy and seductive.
Li Rui noticed her outfit and his heart thumped. He wondered why she was dressed so beautifully when she was eating with him. He regretted it a little. If he had known that she would dress like this, he would not have brought her to the farmhouse where the fish in the stove was. The environment there was not good enough for her. She should have been brought to a top class restaurant, at least a five-star hotel restaurant. Even the restaurant in the four-star hotel Huangting Hotel was not good enough for her. But since they had already left and the car was already heading there, it was not good to change the location. He could only risk it all and offend the beauty this time.
Even so, Li Rui still felt that he should give her a heads-up. He said, "The place I brought you to is not as good as a top class restaurant. It's not dirty, but it's not good either. It's not good enough for your taste. You must be mentally prepared. If you can't accept it, we'll change the location now. "
Jiang Han tilted her head and smiled at him. "It's okay. Haha, what taste do I have? I'm just an ordinary person! I often sit on a small stool by the street and eat the dirty Malatang. But it doesn't matter, as long as it's delicious. "
Li Rui was relieved when he heard that. He smiled and said, "You even changed your clothes? Don't you feel cold wearing a dress? "
Jiang Han said, "Not at all. I feel that the temperature here is about the same as in my hometown. I just wear this in the winter and put on a jacket."
Li Rui asked again, "Where's the investment consultant?"
Jiang Han said, "I told him to go eat alone. We are friends, but he's not close to you, so I didn't bring him along."
Li Rui said, "Your investment advisor is really a talent. I've skimmed through his report before, and it really made me gasp in amazement. I've never seen a report with such a detailed description and such precise data. It's an eye-opener today."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "It's okay. He has to be worthy of his million-yuan annual salary."
Li Rui was shocked and said, "You're giving him a million-yuan annual salary?"
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Yes, is it a lot? He's really talented, and he's worth that price … "
The two chatted and laughed along the way. Unknowingly, they had passed through three to four crossroads and arrived at the southern suburbs. They shuttled through the alleys of the village for a while before finally stopping at the simple parking lot outside the Stove Fish Farmer's courtyard. The business here was very good. It was just past six o 'clock, but there were already six or seven cars parked in the parking lot. There would probably be more diners coming.
The two got out of the car together. Li Rui led the way and led Jiang Han into the courtyard. They asked for a private room from the waiter and sat separately. They ordered fish, side dishes, and cold dishes. Li Rui asked Jiang Han if she wanted to drink wine. Jiang Han said that if he wanted to drink, then she would drink with him. Thus, Li Rui ordered two bottles of Tsingtao Pure Life.
After the waiter walked out of the private room, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded from the private room next door. Jiang Han was slightly shocked and turned her head to look. She saw that the so-called private room was separated by plaster boards. The wall was one meter high from the ceiling. It could only block the view of the private room next door, but it could not block out the sound of people and smoke.
Seeing this, Li Rui was very apologetic. He said embarrassedly, "The private rooms here are all simple partitions. You can hear everything clearly even if you talk next door. If you can't get used to it, let's go somewhere else."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "I can get used to it. Don't think of me as so precious. I'm just an ordinary person like you."
After the tea was served, Li Rui poured a cup for the two of them. The two drank tea and chatted while watching the waiter busily put the soup, fish, side dishes, and other ingredients into the pot. He covered the pot with a lid and let it simmer. After the wine and cold dishes were served, he changed the tea to wine and drank slowly.
Twenty minutes later, the delicious big fish was finally cooked. The waiter took the lid away and invited the two of them to taste and enjoy. As the host, Li Rui picked up a piece of the delicious fish belly for Jiang Han. After tasting it, Jiang Han was full of praise. She very considerately picked up some fish meat for him with her chopsticks.
The two of them ate and drank, chatted and laughed. The atmosphere was very pleasant and warm. At the beginning of the order, Jiang Han said that she would accompany Li Rui to "drink a little". But when they really drank, it was not just a little. In less than half an hour, the two of them had already drunk four bottles of wine. Li Rui felt that the tipsy feeling was just right and did not want to drink too much. Who knew that Jiang Han was in the mood to drink and actually ordered two more bottles. Li Rui could not refuse. He had already made up his mind to treat Jiang Han, so he could not say "don't drink anymore" to Jiang Han. Otherwise, he would seem stingy. He could only accept.
However, before the new wine was served, the intoxicated and beautiful Jiang Han paid a small price for the two bottles of wine she had drunk earlier. She went to the washroom in the courtyard to relieve herself, while Li Rui waited alone in the private room.
Suddenly, a woman's scream sounded in the courtyard. Li Rui heard it and his heart trembled. He felt that it was Jiang Han's voice. He quickly got up and ran out of the private room to the door. Just as he ran to the door, Jiang Han was already panicking. She stumbled up the stairs and threw herself into his arms. She cried out, "Save me, there's someone …"
Li Rui quickly opened his arms to support her. Seeing that she looked back at the southwest corner of the courtyard, he followed her gaze and saw that the bathroom door in the southwest corner was dimly lit. A short man with a big belly stood there and looked over. With the dim light, he could see that he had an evil smile on his face and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Han. It seemed that something had happened with Jiang Han just now. He asked, "It's okay, I'm here. What's wrong?"
Jiang Han calmed herself down and held onto his arms. She said with shame and indignation, "I just … just finished relieving myself. When I came out, I almost bumped into that man. I was just about to walk around him when he suddenly reached out and hugged me. I was so scared. If I hadn't called out to him, he wouldn't have let go of me … It's him, he's still standing there!"
