Zheng Haimin waved his hand and laughed heartily. "There's no need. Let's go straight back to Qingyang. When we get there, let Old Song treat us. I'm going to rip him off. " Li Rui saw that Lin Zihao was also smiling and did not seem to have any objections, so he said, "Okay, then let's go straight back to Qingyang." He wondered if Zheng Haimin had discussed this with Lin Zihao before making this decision. If he had made this decision without discussing it with him, could it be that he, as the company's vice president, had Lin Zihao under control? He thought about it again. Yes, the three of them might have already enjoyed a temporary meal on the plane, so they did not have to worry about being hungry at noon.
The commercial car quickly drove on the highway from the provincial capital to Qingyang, but none of the five people in the car spoke.
Li Rui sneaked a peek through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but want to laugh. There were three people behind, each with a laptop on their knees. They were quietly busy. Although he didn't know what they were busy with, they looked very busy and dedicated. He thought to himself that the people from foreign companies were indeed different from the people from domestic companies. Even if they were on the road, they would definitely not waste time. It was really admirable.
He took out his phone and called Song Chaoyang's office, telling him that he had successfully picked up the three of them and was rushing to Qingyang. Song Chaoyang asked, "Didn't you bring them to the provincial capital for lunch?" Li Rui said, "I asked Chief Zheng. Chief Zheng means …"
Zheng Haimin called from behind, "Is that Old Song? Let me talk to him. "Li Rui quickly said to Song Chaoyang," Chief Zheng wants to talk to you. I'll pass the phone to him. "After saying that, he turned around and handed the phone over.
After Zheng Haimin received it, he quickly chatted and laughed with Song Chaoyang, but the two of them did not talk for long.
Li Rui listened from the side and listened to Zheng Haimin explain the arrangements for the inspection activities in the afternoon. He even specially instructed Song Chaoyang to have a simple lunch and an ordinary work meal. After lunch, they would immediately rush to Gao Kai for inspection. At night, they would drink with their old classmate, Song Chaoyang, before resting.
The journey was silent. When they reached the Qingyang Boundary, Li Rui received a call from Feng Weidong.
Feng Weidong said, "Brother Li, are you in the office? Is it convenient for me to send someone to get the key from yesterday? " Li Rui said softly, "Chief Feng, I'm really sorry. I just came back from picking up some guests from the provincial capital. I'm still on the highway." Feng Weidong said, "I see. When are you going back to the Municipal Party Committee?" Li Rui said, "I'll be very busy today. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow. How about this? I'll contact you when I'm back. What do you think? "Feng Weidong had no other choice but to agree.
Holding the phone in his hand, Li Rui was a little worried. Feng Weidong had been asking for the key, but he had already given the key to Yuan Jingjing. How could he return it to him? Unless … unless he got another key that was exactly the same as the one he had! Thinking about this, he had a plan in his heart. He laughed in his heart and said, "Feng Weidong, don't even think about your daughter-in-law. Even if you get the original key, Yuan Jingjing already has enough means to stop you. Even if you open the door, won't you still have to obediently get out? " However, he was also puzzled. With Feng Weidong's status, he could get any woman he wanted. Why did he insist on this daughter-in-law? Was he a pervert?
After the car arrived at the Qingyang District, Li Rui first brought Zheng Haimin and the other two to the Shengjing Hotel to check in. Shengjing Hotel was a five-star hotel. It was also the highest and most famous hotel in the Qingyang District. Li Rui arranged for the three distinguished guests to stay here. This also showed how much importance Song Chaoyang placed on Zheng Haimin and the other two.
After Zheng Haimin and the other two entered the room, they simply washed up. Without resting, they came out again and got into the Buick minivan and rushed to the Municipal Party Committee building.
In Song Chaoyang's office, Song Chaoyang and Secretary-General Du Minsheng warmly welcomed Zheng Haimin and the other two. They exchanged greetings and went to the second floor of the cafeteria behind the Municipal Party Committee building for lunch.
Lunch was simple. This was Zheng Haimin's personal request. Therefore, Song Chaoyang brought the three of them to the cafeteria to eat. It wasn't considered neglecting the distinguished guests. As for whether it was shabby or not, it depended on what Zheng Haimin and the other two thought.
Li Rui felt that Zheng Haimin was a forthright and magnanimous person. Xu Xinyi didn't have any special requirements in terms of food. The two of them definitely didn't have any objections to eating in the cafeteria. He just didn't know if Lin Zihao would accept it. He secretly observed his expression from the side. He saw that his expression was serious and solemn, but he couldn't tell what his attitude was.
After a simple lunch, Zheng Haimin and the other two accompanied by Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, Publicity Minister Zheng Zijuan, and Deputy Mayor Han Song, who was in charge of investment promotion, Zheng Haimin and the other two went to the High-Tech District to inspect the environment. The High-Tech District Government attached great importance to this. They also sent the District Secretary, District Mayor, Deputy District Mayor in charge of industry, Bureau Chief of Investment Promotion, and many other important leaders to accompany them.
Zheng Haimin and the others visited the dense modern industrial park in the High-Tech District. They also personally stayed in a large area of desolate industrial land. Along the way, they listened to the introduction of Qingyang City and the High-Tech District's urban construction, industrial development, and other aspects. After returning to a meeting room in the District Committee building, they had an in-depth discussion with the relevant people in charge of the High-Tech District to understand the local government's support policies for foreign enterprises.
Lin Zihao's performance at the meeting was quite eye-catching. He had a deep discussion with the relevant people in charge of the district about the reward policy, investment environment standards, and land use.
Although he didn't talk too much, and didn't comment too much on the various policies of the High-Tech District, Song Chaoyang, Li Rui, and the others were still very sensitive to the fact that he and Zheng Haimin had indeed come to Qingyang City with the intention to invest. However, even if they had the intention to invest, before the investment negotiations began, this matter was not guaranteed. Therefore, the leaders in the district were worried. They were afraid that in the next contact, they would accidentally anger the three of them for some unknown reason. If that happened, they would offend a big client. Would they still invest? Therefore, people were more and more enthusiastic and polite to Zheng Haimin and the other two.
In the evening, Song Chaoyang invited Zheng Haimin and the other two to dinner at Shengjing Hotel. Although the two of them were old classmates, because of the presence of Lin Zihao and Xu Xinyi, this banquet had a somewhat official feel. Therefore, Song Chaoyang specially called Du Minsheng and Zheng Zijuan to help greet the three of them.
There were a total of seven people present. In terms of official position, Li Rui was the lowest. In terms of status, he was also the one at the bottom. Therefore, he respectfully accompanied the last seat. However, there was also an advantage to being at the last seat. That was, it was just right between the two beauties. On the left was Zheng Zijuan, and on the right was Xu Xinyi. Although Zheng Zijuan looked delicate and pretty, she was still a little short of the standard of a beauty. However, didn't the modern people already abuse the word beauty? They called a woman a beauty when they caught her. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to call her a beauty here. Moreover, she was also considered a beauty in the officialdom.
Everyone toasted each other and laughed. The atmosphere between the host and guest was harmonious. Zheng Haimin was a cheerful and extroverted person. Moreover, he met Song Chaoyang, an old classmate, so he kept chatting and laughing, becoming the focus of the private room. Du Minsheng was a little introverted and calm. In this kind of banquet, even if he tried his best to look happy, the smile on his face was not very good. It was as if he was a pretty scholar who was forced to marry by a female bandit. Lin Zihao was similar to him. He also had a faint smile on his face and did not speak much. When others toasted him, he usually drank in small mouthfuls and did not make a sound. It was as if he did not exist in the private room. Zheng Zijuan's performance was remarkable. She repeatedly toasted Zheng Haimin and the other two. Her tone was gentle, and her meaning was on point. She looked very much like the host. Xu Xinyi had two leaders present, so she deliberately kept a low profile. Other than toasting and drinking, she spent most of the time listening to everyone's laughter.
Li Rui was the busiest character. Sometimes he urged the dishes to drink, sometimes he toasted the three guests, sometimes he poured wine for the three leaders, and sometimes he poured tea for the few people. He also had to pay attention to the table rotation. He was very busy. After the meal, he almost did not eat anything. However, he drank several glasses of white wine in his stomach. His face was a little hot and his head was a little dizzy.
During the banquet, no one mentioned the investment.
Before the banquet ended, Song Chaoyang smiled and asked, "Haimin, Manager Lin, Assistant Xu, I wonder if you have finished eating? If you have, let's go somewhere else to have some fun and relax. " Zheng Haimin was a red-faced man. At this time, his face was already red from drinking. He smiled and asked, "Oh, what else do you have to do?" Song Chaoyang said, "It's nothing. We'll just go to the KTV downstairs. Everyone will sing, chat, and drink."
Lin Zihao said, "I won't go. My head is a little dizzy. I want to rest early."
Zheng Haimin glanced at him and said to Song Chaoyang, "Singing is boring. It's been a long time since we two old classmates met. Let's just go back to the room, sit down, drink tea, chat, and talk. It's very good." Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do that." After that, he looked at Xu Xinyi and smiled. He said to Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, I'll accompany Chief Zheng. You help me accompany Assistant Xu. You are all young people. You have common topics and things to talk about. Sing, dance, or even look at the night scene of Qingyang Ancient City. Anything is fine. "
Li Rui was looking for a chance to be alone with Xu Xinyi. When he heard this, he said, "Don't worry, Song Chaoji. I will definitely treat Miss Xu well."
