Li Rui frowned. Had Zheng Meili become so arrogant? She even dared to talk about Yu Heping investing in her Gold Mine Group? But then again, in the territory of Qingyang, Old Yu could still cover for him. Even if this matter was spread out, no one could do anything to him. What's more, Fang Qingyun wanted to rely on him and would never take any action that was disadvantageous to him. Zheng Meili was precisely aware of this point, so she told the truth. To some extent, it was also to speed up the progress of the acquisition case. Zheng Meili's courage and shrewdness in this small matter were really impressive. It seemed that she was more difficult to deal with than before.
"Xiao Rui, don't say anything else. Hurry up and come with me to accompany Chief Zheng. At the same time, we can deepen the cooperation. I know that you are very knowledgeable about the acquisition and the development of the Fairy Cave scenic spot. Maybe you can give Chief Zheng some good suggestions."
Fang Qingyun urged Li Rui to hurry up again, like a groom in a hurry to marry the bride calling for a matchmaker.
Li Rui finally understood why Fang Qingyun wanted him to go over. She wanted him to give Zheng Meili advice so that after she obtained the management rights of the Fairy Cave scenic spot, she could immediately start to develop it on a deeper level. It was also equivalent to providing her with more channels to make money. If Zheng Meili made money, Yu Heping would make money. Fang Qingyun's position in Yu Heping's heart would be higher. Humph, this Fang Qingyun was getting more and more shameless. Not only did she want to rely on Zheng Meili, who represented Yu Heping, but she even wanted to use him to strengthen her position. Unfortunately, she miscalculated. He would not let her do as she wished. "I can't go over. I'm dealing with a pollution incident in Liqing Town …"
Fang Qingyun did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him. At the same time, she did not ask what the pollution incident was. "Aiya, no matter what you're dealing with, it's already noon. You have to have lunch, right? You just have to spare some time for lunch. Hurry up and come over. Let me tell you, if this acquisition is successful, it will be your achievement as the deputy county head in charge of investment promotion. Haha. "
Li Rui was about to decline when Fang Qingyun said, "Hurry up, Chief Zheng specifically asked for you to come and accompany him. Hehe."
Li Rui was shocked. "Chief Zheng ordered me to sit with you?"
Fang Qingyun said, "Yeah, she said that you're an old acquaintance. Since she came to Shuanghe today, she wanted to have a drink with you. I think she's frank, generous, and broad-minded. She's not as bad as you made her out to be, haha. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. Xiao Rui, you have to look forward. Don't just remember the past. "
Li Rui did not want to go at first, but when he heard that Zheng Meili wanted to see him, his curiosity exploded. He wanted to see what Zheng Meili was up to. He said, "Okay, I'll go. Which private room is it?"
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui instructed the driver to turn back to the county. He also told Ma Yuming about the banquet and asked him to wait at the government building after lunch. He would pick him up after lunch and then go to Liqing Town.
Twenty minutes later, Li Rui arrived at the Huangting Hotel. He rushed to the restaurant and stopped at the door of a private room. Fang Qingyun's secretary, Ren Xiaowen, was standing at the door. When Ren Xiaowen saw him, he quickly invited him in.
Li Rui walked into the private room and his eyes lit up. He saw that the room was resplendent and the lights were gorgeous. It was originally the brightness of the day, but with the illumination of the lights, it was even brighter. Looking at the big table in the middle of the room, there were three people, one man and two women. The man was Fang Qingyun, sitting at the head of the table on the left. Beside him was a beautiful woman in her thirties with heavy makeup and a seductive appearance. Her beautiful hair was tied up in a bun, and she had a very fashionable air fringe on her forehead. Her charming eyes revealed a bit of sharpness. She wore a white office suit and sat upright in her seat, giving off the aura of a female CEO.
Li Rui had already guessed that Zheng Meili would be in this private room and that she would be sitting at the head of the table. However, when he saw this beautiful woman, he still didn't recognize that she was Zheng Meili. It couldn't be helped. Compared to the Zheng Meili who used to show off at the Qingyang Hotel, her appearance and aura had changed a lot. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was like a different person.
Zheng Meili saw that he was stunned for a few seconds after seeing her. He probably didn't expect her to change so much. She smiled with satisfaction.
Li Rui saw the strange smile on her face and finally confirmed that she was Zheng Meili. He was shocked. She has changed a lot! If we were outside and she met me, I definitely wouldn't be able to recognize her as Zheng Meili! "
There was another woman sitting at the head of the table. She was younger, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had shoulder-length hair and was also wearing an office lady suit. She had delicate features and a low-key aura. She should be Zheng Meili's secretary.
Fang Qingyun saw Li Rui arrive and was overjoyed. She pointed to the seat next to her and said, "You're finally here. Come and sit down. Director Zheng has been waiting for you for a long time."
At this moment, he didn't have the demeanor of a county party secretary at all. He was more attentive than a broker.
Zheng Meili watched Li Rui walk over and sit down. She smiled faintly and said with the demeanor of a female CEO, "Li Rui, you didn't expect this' Director Zheng 'to be me, did you?"
Li Rui thought to himself, 'I knew it was you ten days ago, but I don't know why you're so proud of yourself.' He thought to himself, 'She knows I'm the deputy county head of Shuanghe County, but she still calls me by my name. Obviously, she thinks she's on the same level as me, the deputy county head. I even asked her to invest in Shuanghe County. That's why she's so confident.' Li Rui thought to himself, 'Haha, this woman is actually quite interesting. No matter how much she's changed, she hasn't changed her self-righteous and pretentious personality. However, with her current net worth, she's qualified to be self-righteous.' He smiled and said, "It's been so many years since we last met. Chief Zheng, you're even better than before.
Zheng Meili was so happy that she couldn't help but laugh. She giggled a few times and said: "You are indeed worthy of being the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Your words are so nice. Just based on what you said, it's worth it for me to come to Shuanghe today."
Fang Qingyun saw that the two of them were chatting and did not want to be left out. She smiled and interrupted, "Director Zheng, look, everyone is here. I'll ask the kitchen to serve the dishes."
Zheng Meili nodded and did not look at him. She ordered the secretary, "Give the gifts to Secretary Fang and County Magistrate Li."
Fang Qingyun had just asked Ren Xiaowen to find the waiter to serve the dishes when she suddenly heard this. She was surprised and happy. She said modestly, "Director Zheng, you brought gifts? You're too polite. There's no need for that. "
Zheng Meili said indifferently, "It's not a gift. It's two small things produced by my company. I'll give them to you as a greeting gift."
The secretary took out two exquisite gift boxes from the bag beside her. She stood up and walked around half of the table. She placed the gift boxes on the tables in front of Fang Qingyun and Li Rui.
Fang Qingyun couldn't help but be curious. He opened the lid of the box and saw a shiny golden bowl. The bowl was not big, only about five centimeters in diameter. It was carved with exquisite patterns on the inside and outside. There were patterns of dragons, phoenixes, auspicious clouds, and so on. Obviously, it was just a souvenir or a collection. It couldn't be eaten.
"Oh … Oh, this … this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it. Director Zheng, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this gift. It's too expensive … "
Fang Qingyun looked at the golden bowl with a shocked expression. She quickly put the lid back and pushed the gift boxes in front of Zheng Meili.
Zheng Meili smiled faintly and said, "What's so expensive about it? There are many such golden bowls in my company's craft company. They're piled up on the assembly line. I'm too embarrassed to give them away. If I give them to you, I'm afraid you'll dislike them. So, Secretary Fang, you don't have to be so polite. Look, Li Rui didn't even say anything. "She pushed the gift boxes back to him.
Fang Qingyun looked at Li Rui and saw that he had put the gift boxes aside as if he had accepted them. She was surprised at how thick-skinned he was. She smiled apologetically and said, "Well, since Director Zheng is so polite, it would seem pretentious if I didn't accept them. I'll accept them. Thank you for your kindness, Director Zheng." She put the gift boxes aside.
Zheng Meili said to Li Rui, "Li Rui, you should know why I'm here in Shuanghe. I'd like to hear your opinion on my acquisition of Fairy Cave scenic spot and your analysis of its future development and profits."
Li Rui looked at her expression. She didn't seem to be listening to his opinion seriously. Instead, she looked more like a child who had scored full marks on an exam and was waiting for her teacher's praise. He realized that she was trying to show off her powerful capital and pioneering business ambitions. She wanted his praise and flattery. Otherwise, why would she consider his opinion and analysis when she had already decided to plagiarize Jiang Han's acquisition plan? He wasn't her strategist and hadn't seen her for years. What reason did she have to listen to his opinion? He found it funny when he thought about it. This woman was even more arrogant and vain than before. He smiled and said, "My opinion can affect Director Zheng's decision?"
Zheng Meili smiled and said, "Of course not, but there's no harm in listening."
