Chapter 261: Preparing for Fate?
"It's time to get up, it's almost ten o'clock, and you'll have to go to the banquet later!" Li Zhi shook Li Xuan, who was still sleeping lazily.
The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will never go to court early! This is Li Xuan's current situation, and under Li Zhi's flattery, he was very happy last night. But the consequence of overindulgence is that I now have backache.
And Li Zhi, who was lying on Li Xuan's ear and blowing gently, looked radiant after being moisturized, and her smile was even more beautiful and moving. No wonder it is said that there are only tired cattle and no ploughed fields.
However, today's luncheon is very important, and the secretary of the Huhai Municipal Party Committee and the mayor jointly invited Li Xuan to lunch. Two ministerial-level officials issued invitations together, and this honor is not something that everyone can enjoy. What's more, Huhai City has a very special position in the country, and its importance is second only to the capital Beijing. The position of the first and second leaders in charge of the magic capital in the domestic land acquisition territory is undoubtedly more weighty than that of the feudal officials of other ordinary provinces.
Li Xuan has not seen heavyweights before, and he shook hands with the second generation last time he went to Beijing. When he got married, a group of central leaders also sent autographed inscriptions. But this time Li Xuan came to Shanghai in a private capacity, so it stands to reason that the official does not need to be so solemn. All it takes is to send a deputy mayor in charge of united front work to entertain him, and it will be enough to show respect for him.
"Why do you still have time to care about me here, it's not very troublesome for you women to dress up and put on makeup, don't let me wait for you again later!"
Li Xuan looked at Li Zhi like a well-behaved little girl, intimately dressing herself, and couldn't help but say out loud. This kind of corrupt life of the eldest young master. It's fun to enjoy it once or twice, but if you come to the clothes every day, you can reach out and open your mouth. He thought it was weird.
"Ahh
"You don't go with me. Who will be my female companion!" Li Xuan reached out and gently pinched her smooth and round chin.
Li Zhi seemed to have forgotten to slap off his thin bad hand, and just stared at Li Xuan's eyes with straight eyes. After confirming that he was not joking, Lizhi Li Ke ran away in a hurry and sat down in front of the dresser to dress himself carefully.
Li Xuan looked at her brisk back and smiled, he had hardly taken Li Zhi to any formal public occasions before. Taking her to the luncheon of the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee this time may attract the attention of others, but so what!
Before half past ten, the white-shirted Deputy Secretary-General Liu, who was waiting at home when Li Xuan went home yesterday, had already appeared in the living room downstairs of the villa and waited patiently. This Secretary-General Liu. In addition to being the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, he also serves as the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee and a proper department-level cadre.
Those who can take charge of the general office of the municipal party committee are the most trusted people by the secretary, not to mention that his position is only the main hall, but he has more real power than many deputy mayors. In the early 80s, after a decade of turmoil in the country, many persecuted cadres needed to be assigned to their posts after putting things in order, which caused redundancy and strictness in governments at all levels. For example, there are as many as 20 members of the Standing Committee of the Huhai Municipal Party Committee and 12 deputy mayors of the municipal government.
This is a very influential figure in the officialdom of Shanghai and Haihai. At this moment, he was not in a hurry, drinking tea while having a cordial conversation with Yang Wenlong, one of Li Xuan's bodyguards. Yang Wenlong was a comrade-in-arms of Li Xuan's first bodyguard, Chen Fan, who was shot several times when Li Xuan was kidnapped last time. Although he was not injured or critical, his movements were affected to a certain extent after recovery, and he could not continue to serve as a bodyguard.
So he was sent by Li Xuan to be the manager of the newly established security company. After that, a large number of innocent comrades-in-arms were introduced to Hong Kong to help. Li Xuan's personal bodyguards now have more than 20 people, and they are divided into three shifts on weekdays to take turns to be responsible for Li Xuan's safety work. A small half of them are veterans from the mainland.
Yang Wenlong was the captain of the four bodyguards who followed Huhai this time, because he was a Huhai himself. In case of emergencies, it is easier to communicate with the mainland. For example, now, he is chatting with Deputy Secretary-General Liu in a standard Shanghainese dialect.
"So Wenlong, you are from Shanghai?" said Deputy Secretary-General Liu with a look of surprise.
"I'm from Chongming Island, and after being discharged from the army and demobilized two years ago, I returned to the armed forces department in the township as an officer. Later, one of my comrades-in-arms happened to be a bodyguard for his boss in Hong Kong, and he wrote to me to help, and I didn't resist the temptation of the capitalist fancy world, so I ran to Hong Kong!" Yang Wenlong humorously laughed at himself.
He used to be a platoon commander in the army, so he was able to work in the town government after demobilization. It is precisely because he has been an officer that Yang Wenlong is more knowledgeable than ordinary big-headed soldiers, and he is one of the leaders of several internal factions in Li Xuan's security department.
"People go to high places, water flows to low places, human nature!" Secretary General Liu said with a smile, "I don't know if Mr. Li Xuan has any specific arrangements for coming to Huhai this time? If there is a place that needs to be coordinated by the municipal government, you can come to me at any time!"
"Then thank you Secretary General Liu in advance! The boss is coming to the mainland in the name of a private person this time, I don't know if there are other arrangements, after all, I'm just a little bodyguard!" Yang Wenlong shook his head and said that he knew a lot. He couldn't explain to the other party that Li Xuan came to Huhai to take advantage of the relatively closed environment in the mainland to avoid the harassment of reporters, and then meet his little lover privately by the way.
At this time, Li Xuan, who was holding Li Zhi in a white dress, walked down from upstairs, and the group set off immediately. The city specially sent a black Hongqi sedan to pick up VIPs, and Li Xuan also had the opportunity to experience the feeling of riding in an old Hongqi car.
The venue of the luncheon was chosen at the intersection of Nanjingdong Road and the Bund, which used to be the first hotel in the Far East -- the Peace Hotel! The biggest feature of this Gothic building is a green copper sheathed roof at an altitude of 77 meters, and it is one of the most famous buildings in the Bund International Complex.
The host of the luncheon had already arrived in the Jiuxiao Hall of the hotel in advance to wait, and lunch was arranged to be held in this large suite.
"Lao Wang, this Mr. Li is not simple, he has a wealth of 7 billion US dollars at the age of twenty-two, is it really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!" An old man in a blue-gray tunic, smiled at his partner next to him. He is the current first secretary of Huhai, Zhao Xiulin.
"We communists don't believe in feudal superstition, but this Li Xuan is indeed a genius! We have a population of 12 million in Shanghai, and our GDP for the whole of last year was just over 30 billion yuan. He alone is worth half a year's total production of the people of our city!"
The other person who answered the call was Wang Daohan, the current mayor of Huhai City. He sighed and said, "I heard that this Mr. Li is a philanthropist, and the newspapers in Hong Kong call him a 'good money boy'." I'm going to get rid of this old face today and see if I can get some fate out of him!" (To be continued......)
