Li Rui stopped in puzzlement and turned his head to look at the young woman. He saw that she was of medium height, had extremely white skin, and wore a pair of large sunglasses on her face. Although he couldn't see her features clearly, he could tell that she was a beauty from the shape of her face, her nose, her lips, and other parts of her face. She had a colorful scarf around her neck, wore a green and white suit pants, and a pair of red high-heeled leather shoes. Her feet were bare, revealing the white and tender skin of her instep. It was very tempting. After looking at her, he couldn't recognize who she was. He asked curiously, "You are …"
The young woman smiled kindly. She raised her hand and pushed the sunglasses from the bridge of her nose to her forehead, revealing her eyes. Li Rui recognized her at a glance and said, "Sister Luo, it's you."
This beautiful young woman was Luo Nana, whom he had just met not long ago.
Luo Nana smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Rui said, "Oh, to receive a few guests. What about you?" Luo Nana smiled proudly and said, "I'm going to work." Li Rui then remembered that she owned an IT company in Qingyang. He thought of the matter she had asked him and said, "I'll be busy these two days. When I'm done, I'll introduce you to some friends." Luo Nana nodded slightly and said, "There's no hurry. I'm not going to leave as soon as I come. Maybe I'll stay in Qingyang for the rest of my life." Li Rui always felt that this woman was filled with a mysterious aura. He couldn't figure her out. He didn't have time to chat with her and hurriedly went into the elevator after saying goodbye.
Li Rui secretly observed Xu Xinyi's expression after picking up Zheng Haimin and the others. He saw that she was calm, neither happy nor sad. He didn't know what she was thinking. He tried to greet her but didn't get any response from her. He felt that she was still angry with him.
The four of them went downstairs and got into the MPV. They then rushed to Gaokai District.
The investment enterprise association in Gaokai District was led by the district government and relied on by the investment promotion department. It was a semi-official and semi-private association formed by the representatives of the large number of enterprises that had settled in Gaokai District. It was registered with the district civil affairs department. There were no government officials in the association. Even if there were government officials who were the president or vice president of the association, they were usually just in name. They would have the word "honor" in front of their titles to ensure the purity of the association to the greatest extent. Therefore, to a certain extent, this association could truly reflect the overall situation of the investment enterprises in the high-risk areas.
Zheng Haimin and the other two wanted to come to this association to understand the relationship between the enterprises in the Gaokai District and the local government. It could be said that they had grasped the pulse immediately. Li Rui could not help but admire Zheng Haimin and the other two for their deep understanding of the local business investment.
Speaking of which, it was quite sad. If one wanted to invest and start a business anywhere in the country, the biggest problem was not the lack of funds, market positioning, or sales. It was the relationship with the local government and relevant functional departments. If the relationship was good, it could develop healthily. If the relationship was not good, the various functional departments would make things difficult for the company. It could even be said that the company would go bankrupt because of this.
Even if Zheng Haimin and the other two represented the world's largest pharmaceutical company and were invited to settle in by the Municipal Party Committee's secretary, Song Chaoyang, they would not have any special privileges on this issue. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the person in charge. Therefore, they had to understand the service attitude and work efficiency of the Gaokai District government from the side in advance to avoid possible losses in the future.
Li Rui felt that Zheng Haimin was a very far-sighted person. He might have already expected that Song Chaoyang would not be able to be the Municipal Party Committee's secretary in Qingyang City for the rest of his life. He could help them now, but he could not help them forever. In order for the pharmaceutical factory to develop well under the premise of no one protecting it in the future, it was quite wise to come and take the pulse early.
After arriving at the investment enterprise association, Zheng Haimin and the other two were warmly welcomed by the association's president and several members. The president took the three of them to visit the six branches of the association. Among them was the biopharmaceutical branch. Zheng Haimin and the president of the branch had a long chat. Later, the three of them were invited to the conference room to participate in a discussion. The president and the others introduced several functions of the association to them and also answered relevant questions under Zheng Haimin's inquiry.
A general manager of a foreign company at the conference said sincerely, "It was the investment enterprise association of the development zone that set up a platform for us to communicate information and exchange cooperation. It also served as a lubricant for our company and the local government. I am very grateful to this association. "
Lin Zihao also spoke at the conference. He was concerned about some more practical problems, and many of them were living examples. For example, he raised questions about the problems encountered in the construction and production process of the company's land use planning, customs supervision, electricity, and other construction and production processes.
The presidents of the association answered all his questions one after another. Some of them even gave two or three different solutions to a problem, which made him feel the sincerity of the association and the working attitude of the government.
The conference lasted for two hours. During this time, Xu Xinyi basically did not speak. She only occasionally wrote something in her notebook. Li Rui sat next to her and looked at her from time to time.
Later, Xu Xinyi was annoyed by his stare. While she was taking notes, she scribbled something in the notebook and pushed the notebook in front of him. Her pretty face showed a puzzled expression, as if she was asking him a question.
Li Rui looked at her and saw that she had written in her notebook, "If you look again, I'll dig your eyes out!" Seeing this sentence, he knew that she did not hate him too much. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He frowned, shook his head, and pushed the notebook back to her.
Xu Xinyi took back the notebook, turned to a new page, and continued to write something.
After the conference ended, it was already time for lunch. As the three of them were going back to Shanghai after lunch, Song Chaoyang rushed to Shengjing Hotel to personally send them off.
There were a total of five people at the table, including Xu Xinyi. Basically, everyone drank some wine, but not a lot. Then there was a small incident. Xu Xinyi accidentally knocked over a glass of water, and half of the water in the glass spilled out. Coincidentally, all of it flowed down the table and onto Li Rui's pants, wetting a large part of his pants between his legs. If someone who did not know saw this, they would think that he had wet his pants.
Li Rui tried his best to be calm. He did not suddenly jump up as if he was shocked. Instead, he slowly stood up with a bitter smile. Song Chaoyang, Zheng Haimin, and the others saw that his key part was wet and were amused.
Song Chaoyang handed him a napkin and joked, "Xiao Rui, don't tell anyone that you went to the bathroom. Otherwise, you'll be a joke." Zheng Haimin was already very familiar with Li Rui, so his joke was even more excessive. He deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "Hey, Xiao Rui, you just said that you wanted to go to the bathroom. Now you're doing it under the table?"
Li Rui was not embarrassed by their joke. He turned his head to look at the culprit.
Xu Xinyi did not know whether to laugh or cry. She forced herself not to laugh. Her white face was already blushing. She handed him a napkin and said, "Quickly wipe yourself." Zheng Haimin laughed and said, "Just wiping yourself won't do. Anqi, you have to buy Xiao Rui a new pair of pants. Otherwise, how can he go out to meet people?" Xu Xinyi stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go buy him a pair of pants first."
Song Chaoyang and Li Rui naturally could not let her buy a pair of pants. They hurriedly stopped her.
Xu Xinyi said, "If you don't buy a pair of pants, how can you go out later?" Li Rui smiled and said, "I'll block the front with my bag. No one can see it." Xu Xinyi said, "But it's still wet and uncomfortable." Li Rui said, "It's okay. The weather is hot now. It'll dry in a while. Hurry up and eat. "
Zheng Haimin waved his hand and said, "Since Xiao Rui has good intentions, then Anqi, you don't have to force him. Haha, Xiao Rui will have to suffer for a while. "
When they finished eating, everyone had forgotten about this little episode. Li Rui felt that the wet part was almost dry. It did not affect his walking.
Song Chaoyang, Zheng Haimin, and the others said goodbye in the private room. Then, they were sent back to the Municipal Party Committee by Lao Zhou in car number one.
Li Rui accompanied the three of them to the guest room to pack their luggage. Of course, he could not enter anyone's room to watch them pack. They did not need his help at this time. He obediently waited in the corridor. Although he wanted to find Xu Xinyi and talk to her for a while to ask for her forgiveness, he was afraid that Zheng Haimin and Lin Zihao would find out. So, he could only wait outside.
In less than a minute, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Xu Xinyi calling. When he saw her name, he felt a burst of warmth in his heart and hurriedly answered. Xu Xinyi's pleasant voice came from the other end. "Don't you want to come in and say something to me?" Li Rui said, "I do, but I'm afraid …" Xu Xinyi said lightly, "You always think too much. Sometimes I really don't understand what's going on in your head. I've already opened the door for you. You can come if you want. "Then, she hung up.
Since she said so, Li Rui could not not not look for her. He braced himself and slipped into the corridor. When he passed by Zheng Haimin and Lin Zihao's room, he deliberately quickened his pace. He did not give them a chance to see him. When he arrived at Xu Xinyi's room, he saw that the door was indeed slightly ajar. He did not hesitate to open the door and walk in. He then closed the door behind him.
Xu Xinyi had already packed her luggage. At this moment, she was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. She hugged her arms and looked at the scenery of Qingyang City. Compared to the floor-to-ceiling window, her figure was really thin and thin. When Li Rui saw this scene, his heart was filled with pity. He quickly walked over and stood behind her.
