Xie Zhi temporarily put aside the company's affairs the next day, stayed in Xucheng, took Xie Tang to accompany her shopping at noon, and received a call from his brother at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xie Chengjiang had already talked to Song Hongjun and them on the phone, and made an appointment to cross the river in the evening and meet in Zhunan for dinner.

The main urban area of Xucheng is in Jiangbei, Zhunan Development Zone has promoted the development momentum in Xupei in recent years, a number of enterprises such as Zhunan refining and chemical base of Meigang have moved over, and a number of domestic and foreign-funded enterprises have been introduced, which has supported Xucheng's economic growth in the past two years, but the urban construction of Zhunan is very backward, except for the central road where the management committee is located, there is not even a shop to find a shopping street, there are several hotels and guesthouses, but the level is very average.

Even if Shen Huai arrives in Xucheng, he should take the time to go to Zhunan Refining and Chemical to inspect the production situation, and if he has dinner or something at night, he should always come to Jiangbei.

"How do you make an appointment to go to Zhunan for dinner?" Xie Zhi asked strangely.

"I asked them to go to the tea garden for dinner, but they said that everyone was in Zhunan, and they would not be able to get out of it relatively late, and they were afraid that the road would be blocked and it would be inconvenient to cross the river, so they asked us to cross the river to the south bank. Xie Chengjiang said.

The tea garden mentioned by Xie Chengjiang is a club invested by Jinding on the southern slope of Yebai Mountain.

Yebai Mountain is the remaining vein of the west of the Lingling, not high, the highest altitude is about 200 meters, located in Huagang District and Xiling County junction, about 20 kilometers away from the city center, not far, is the famous tea mountain in Xucheng.

In the first two years, the city engaged in the construction and development of scenic spots in Yebai Mountain, Xie Chengjiang took three or four hundred acres of mountain land there to build a tea garden, and after the formal establishment of a real estate company, a club was built in the tea garden, which was specially used for the reception of Huaineng and Jinding.

Xie Zhi stood in front of the dressing mirror in the shopping mall, knocked her forehead with her mobile phone, and couldn't understand why Song Hongjun and Shen Huai insisted on crossing the river to meet for dinner, and asked her brother: "Did you call Su Kaiwen to ask about this?"

After Shen Huai arrived in Xucheng, if he only inspected the production status of the refining and chemical base in Zhunan, he didn't need to delay for too long, and thought to himself, could it be that Meigang's follow-up actions were not in the main city, but on the south bank?

Su Kaiwen served as the deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Zhunan Development Zone and the deputy director of the park management committee at this time.

Xie Chengjiang obviously also thought about this problem, and said on the phone: "I just talked to Su Kaiwen on the phone, and several people in the team of the Zhunan Party Working Committee have not seen any abnormal ...... in their whereabouts in the past two days."

Xie Zhi pondered that Shen Huai had kept a secret before, and the main thing should be to prevent the news from leaking out so that Rongxin would know in advance, and they are now openly asking this side to cross the river to the south bank to meet for dinner, which probably means that they are ready to start making a move, and the news can be announced to the public.

Since Rongxin officially intervened in the Binjiang project and competed with Meigang for the dominance of the construction of the Binjiang business district, it has only been ten days, and another ten days will be the Spring Festival, and it is hard to imagine that Shen Huai will find a new anchor point for Meigang's follow-up actions in Xucheng in such a short time.

However, having said that, Meigang withdrew from the Binjiang business district, although it gained great benefits from the transfer of the old refinery site, but also invested some resources in the Binjiang business district, in addition to inviting the Evergreen Group to cooperate in the Binjiang plot to build a five-star hotel, build a large-scale comprehensive self-selection, department store, Song Hongjun in Hong Kong also Binjiang project, has been in contact with many investors, in the active investment intention.

Now Meigang has given up the Binjiang project, but if you don't want the early work to be wasted, and at the same time to ensure that the momentum of Xiong Wenbin's start after arriving in Xucheng is not weakened, the follow-up action does need to be fast.

"Let's see, you send me the address of the meal, and I'll go directly to Xie Tang later." Xie Zhi could only say this first and hung up the phone with her brother.

Xie Tang tried on a suit in the changing room, and when he saw Xie Zhixiu's eyebrows frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, we'll have to drive across the river to eat later." Xie Zhi said.

"So far. Xie Tang was still thinking about going to the tea garden to eat before, but he was quite eager, after all, he didn't need to say hello to any strangers, and when he heard that he was going to cross the river to eat, he was a little reluctant.

"You don't have to drive, you have to go, or I'll be bored." Xie Zhi pulled Xie Tang and asked her to accompany her across the river.

Xie Zhi was a little ashamed to see Shen Huai, and she was also worried in her heart, she didn't know what kind of face Shen Huai would give her, so she thought about pulling Xie Tang over with her-as long as she thought of what the muddy ball had done to Xie Tang before, Xie Zhi felt that the ashtray smashed Shen Huai not wronged, then even if she was in front of Shen Huai, she would not be at a psychological disadvantage.

"Okay. Xie Tang couldn't entangle Xie Zhi, and reluctantly agreed.

***********************

There is only one bridge across the river in Xucheng City, and it is still a dual-purpose bridge for highways and railways built in the early 70s.

The highway bridge is also only four lanes, although today is the weekend, but it is guaranteed that the traffic will be blocked during the rush hour in the evening, and when she saw the address sent by her brother, Xie Zhi pulled Xie Tang to drive across the river.

Unfortunately, when crossing the bridge, two cars collided in the middle of the bridge, blocking two lanes of the bridge.

Whether it is crossing the river to the south or north to the main urban area, there is only one lane left for vehicles to pass through. The four-kilometer bridge across the river drove for nearly an hour, and when it was completely dark, Xie Zhi and Xie Tang slowly moved the car to the south bank, blocking their minds and making a fuss.

After making the call, Xie Zhi learned that her brother had set off five minutes earlier than them, so she avoided the big traffic jam on the bridge, rushed to the appointed place early, and met Shen Huai and them.

The agreed place to eat is called Baiyanji, which is a quite famous scenic spot in Xucheng, but it is located on the south bank, away from the main urban area of Xucheng, in the impression of Xucheng people, it is a rural place, and the popularity is not very much.

Xie Zhi had never been to Baiyanji, but Xie Tang had played with her classmates in the past, she pointed to the road and asked Xie Zhi to get the car off the bridge, take Yanjiang Road and drive three or four kilometers to the east, passing through a town, and you can see Baiyanji at the east end of the town.

A small stone hill standing alone and abruptly on the river beach, less than 100 meters high, but covering a large area, in the dark night, the night forest is dense, and there is an asphalt road from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Maybe it's because of the rare scenic spot nearby, there is no street lamp along the river road, but it is sparse every few tens of meters when you enter the mountain, there is a lamp standing on the side of the road, you can see several ancestral halls and old buildings in the style of the nunnery along the road, the Wangjiang Pavilion on the top of the mountain, when Xie Tang came to play earlier, it was still a scenic spot, and it has been changed into a restaurant at this time.

Driving into the yard, Xie Zhi saw that Xiong Wenbin's car was also there.

Shen Huai disrupted the order of the license plates of official cars in Xiapu, but Xiong Wenbin only served as the executive deputy mayor of Xucheng, and he could only follow the old rules in any car, so his special car license plate was very easy to remember and recognize—in addition to Xiong Wenbin's car, there were two official cars in Xucheng, and Xie Zhi couldn't recognize them.

Xie Tang was still afraid of contact with strangers, and when he saw three official cars parked in the yard, he felt a little resentful, and subconsciously grabbed Xie Zhi's hand.

Xie Chengjiang's secretary Ding Qin, a tall girl with glasses, wearing a khaki coat that just covers her buttocks, black leggings, wrapped in slender and straight legs, fair skin, is a beautiful and capable young girl, saw Xie Zhi and Xie Tang get out of the car, greeted her and said enthusiastically: "You guys are blocked on the road......, right?

Ding Qin and Feng Yuzhi, the company assistant hired by Xie Zhi, is an alumnus of Huai University of Technology who graduated from the same year, and the relationship between the two is good, and they were recruited to work in SITC Group in the same batch; Ding Qin later joined Jinding Group with her brother, and she is very young, and she can be regarded as a veteran of Jinding.

It stands to reason that Feng Yuzhi's mouth should be very tight, and it is impossible to take out the matter of her being drunk and smashing Shen Huai angrily, but seeing that the corners of Ding Qin's mouth turned up slightly when she mentioned "Secretary Shen", maybe Feng Yuzhi might say something in front of her - thinking of this, Xie Zhi couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xie Zhi knew that Ding Qin, a girl, was quite scheming, and her sister-in-law had great opinions and even hostility towards Ding Qin, but she couldn't screw her brother to use Ding Qin to work by her side - Xie Zhi didn't have a good impression of this girl, so she just nodded lightly when she saw her, and Xie Tang followed her into the wooden building facing the north.

Picking up the ladder to the third floor, Xie Zhi found that there were more people coming over tonight than she imagined, not only Su Kaiwen, but also listening to the introduction, when they went upstairs, the middle-aged fat man who eagerly greeted Xiong Wenbin was Cao Zhengjiang, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhujiang Development Zone.

Xie Zhi knew that her brother had called Su Kaiwen to ask about the whereabouts of Shen Huai, Song Hongjun and others in Zhunan in the past few days, but she didn't say that Su Kaiwen would also come over for dinner together at night - it seems that Su Kaiwen should have come with Cao Zhengjiang.

And Cao Zhengjiang obviously didn't happen to come over to say hello, it seemed like he asked Xiong Wenbin or Shen Huai to come over for dinner, but Su Kaiwen was kept in the dark in advance and didn't know the situation.

Xie Zhi had never met Cao Zhengjiang before, but he knew that he and Guo Chengze were both cadres who were promoted to attract investment and develop industry in Zhunan after Xu Pei arrived in Xucheng - Guo Chengze later served as the deputy mayor of Xucheng, and was transferred to Donghua as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, and after Cao Zhengjiang took over Guo Chengze's position, he has also worked in the position of secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Zhunan Development Zone for three years.

If it weren't for Cao Zhengjiang's slightly less qualifications, and at the same time, Zhong Limin, secretary of the provincial party committee, recommended Xiong Wenbin and Xu Cheng to come, the position of executive vice mayor of Xucheng City would probably be Cao Zhengjiang's.

Xie Zhi didn't know what Cao Zhengjiang thought of Xiong Wenbin, who preemptively took the position of executive vice mayor of Xucheng, but Xu Pei was in the rising period of his career, and as Xu Pei's trust and reuse, Cao Zhengjiang's mind and vision should not be too narrow.

Looking at this situation, Xie Zhi is also more sure that after Meigang withdraws from the Binjiang business district project, the follow-up actions in Xucheng are very likely to fall in Zhunan.
