Chapter 228: "Exposed".
Ma Zhongling hurriedly walked into Zhou Nan's office and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, that little lady is relieved, no longer insisting, and agrees to talk to you about cooperation in the afternoon." ”
Ma Zhongling's "little lady" was originally unintentional, but when he heard Zhou Nan's ears, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But he also knew that Ma Zhongling had no malicious intentions, so he nodded and smiled, "Well, I know, I talked to her brother Zhang Xiao on the phone...... It is outrageous to put forward so many harsh conditions, and to take land at zero cost, it is simply to take us as the wronged leader. ”
"If it weren't for the limited time, the Mengjiawan project was also advancing, and we had to get ahead of them, and Sky Group might not be the most suitable investor. But now, we don't have much choice but to lower our profile as much as possible and cooperate with the sky. ”
However, on the whole, the strength of this enterprise is still very strong, and it can be ranked among the top ten private enterprises in the sea. Moreover, Zhang Xiao is not bad, and he is very credible. ”
Ma Zhongling hesitated for a moment, then smiled lightly, "Secretary Zhou, in fact, that piece of land is not worth much, it is nothing more than a locust forest in two villages, and the rest is wasteland, and idleness is idle...... If they really insist, they might as well agree to them. ”
"How much can a few trees be worth? Just give the villagers a little compensation. ”
As long as the Sky Group is willing to invest, this tens of millions of projects will have a strong stimulating effect on the economy of Ningshan Town and even Ningshan County, and it is normal for them to pay a little price.
Zhou Nan smiled faintly.
He knew that Zhang Qiangti, secretary of the county party committee, also meant the same thing, and pointed out that in the end, as a last resort, he could also promise the Sky Group to acquire land at zero cost -- this was the final bottom line of the county party committee. But Zhou Nan was reluctant to do so.
It seems that this piece of land is indeed worthless, and the town and county "press" it through administrative means, and the cost of land can be ignored; If this opening is opened, if the next step is to introduce enterprises to follow suit, what should the town do?
Zhou Nan has always thought long-term in his work, and will not only focus on the present.
"Lao Ma, we are attracting investment, not treating guests and giving gifts, and we can't lure wolves into the house...... This is a red line that must not be crossed. Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "You go and arrange it, I'll go over in half an hour, and let's have a formal talk with Mr. Zhang." ”
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, I understand, I'll arrange it right away." Ma Zhongling nodded in response, turned around and walked out of Zhou Nan's office.
………… Zhang Ningning was very unhappy in her heart, and her body was filled with an inexplicable irritability.
Although her brother Zhang Xiao had thoroughly clarified and explained the stakes to her on the phone, Zhang Ningning still couldn't accept it.
It is not so much that she rejects the project and rejects cooperating with a central town in a poor county, but that she "rejects" Zhou Nan as a person.
Although she had no intersection with Zhou Nan before, she was no stranger to Zhou Nan. is also a person in the business community of Haidu, Zhou Nan is so well-known in Haidu, she has long heard of some things about Zhou Nan.
Even, she met Lan Ruo once, and was deeply amazed by Lan Ruo's noble temperament and peerless appearance. In her subconscious, Zhou Nan already has a fairy-like woman like Lan Ruo, and she is still eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, faintly revealing some ambiguous feelings for herself, this is simply a big carrot!
Women are sensitive, and their sixth sense is very strong, and Zhang Ningning is naturally no exception.
Zhou Nan raised his hands and kept throwing at the touch of "eagerness" in his eyes, and Zhang Ningning could clearly perceive it...... What's even worse is that she herself actually had some kind of "response" to this in her heart, which made her a little ashamed, a little panicked, and a little overwhelmed.
She couldn't accept that she had a certain feeling for a very strange man, and she couldn't accept that a man who was "famous" had a certain feeling for herself.
Under the interweaving of complex emotions, she blamed it all on Zhou Nan's "shamelessness", and deliberately and with a suggestive surname, she had a bad feeling for Zhou Nan.
In the conference room of the Ningshan Hotel.
Zhang Ningning took his two attachés and sat there quietly, although he looked calm, his heart was actually turbulent.
In a moment, Zhou Nan pushed the door in with Ma Zhongling, Zhang Zhijun and Song Xiaolin, she hesitated, but still got up and said hello to Zhou Nan with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, Mayor Ma, Mayor Zhang, good afternoon." ”
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, please take a seat." Zhou Nan smiled slightly and sat opposite Zhang Ningning, while Ma Zhongling and the others sat on either side of him, and Song Xiaolin took out a notebook and prepared to take minutes of the meeting.
In fact, the intention of cooperation has been determined, and there is nothing to talk about. The specific details of the investment need to be negotiated later, and the negotiations before signing the framework cooperation agreement are nothing more than Sky Group to put forward some conditions as much as possible, and then clarify the approximate investment amount according to the demonstration of the project.
For Sky Group, this framework cooperation agreement is actually a bit redundant and has no legal effect at all, because all negotiations are formalities before the actual investment begins; But for Ningshan Town and Ningshan County, this is very different. As long as the cooperation framework agreement is signed, it can be included in the agenda as a major task, and it can be reported to the party committee at a higher level to win policy support from above.
To put it mildly, this is still a political achievement that can be written into a work summary report.
Because of Zhang Xiao's phone call as a foreshadowing, the atmosphere of the talks between the two sides was relatively harmonious. Although Zhang Ningning felt uncomfortable, she would not show it.
"Mr. Zhang, for the requirements, opinions and suggestions put forward by you, we will immediately convene a party committee to study, and if it can be solved immediately, it will be solved immediately, and if it cannot be solved in the town, I will coordinate with the relevant departments of the county to help solve it. All in all, I hope that our cooperation will be successful, and I also hope that Sky Group can successfully open up new economic growth points in Ningshan County. ”
"Win-win is our goal." Zhou Nanlang laughed, and looked at Zhang Ningning's gaze with a little softer.
This kind of soft gaze made Zhang Ningning feel not very "comfortable", she frowned secretly and said, "Secretary Zhou, in fact, these have been reflected in the framework agreement of cooperation...... Secretary Zhou, you see that we have signed the agreement now, since the project investment has been determined, it is better to settle it as soon as possible, I still want to rush back to Haidu tomorrow, there is still something to do at home. ”
At this moment, Zhang Ningning regretted taking the initiative to invite Ying to Ningshan County, she wanted to end the matter here quickly, and then leave Ningshan, away from Zhou Nan, a man who made her "very uncomfortable".
"Sign the agreement now?" Zhou Nan was stunned and hesitated.
After all, this project is the largest investment project in Ningshan County so far (excluding the garment industrial park project invested by Feiteng Group, which is introduced by the city and not introduced by Ningshan County), and the county leaders must be present.
But he could see that Zhang Ningning didn't seem to be very interested in it, and her mood didn't seem to be quite right.
Zhou Nan stared at Zhang Ningning deeply, hesitated for a moment before nodding and smiling, "Okay, since Mr. Zhang is busy with affairs and is in a hurry to go back, then, let's sign it in the afternoon?" However, this is not a trivial matter for the county - let's prepare a little, and I will also report to the main leaders of the county, so we have to have a ceremony, right? ”
"Mr. Zhang, please go to the VIP room for a while - Xiao Song, you go over and sit with Mr. Zhang, Lao Ma, you can arrange it immediately, let's have a small signing ceremony, the speed should be fast!" Zhou Nan said to Ma Zhong.
Ma Zhongling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up to make arrangements. In fact, there is no need to prepare anything, it is nothing more than to make a banner, decorate the venue, invite a few leaders to participate, and let the town and county propaganda departments leave a video or something.
Originally, Zhou Nan also wanted to invite reporters from all the major media in the city to do public publicity, but now that he is in such a hurry, it is obviously too late to invite the news media again, so he has to give up.
Zhou Nan immediately dialed the phone number of Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, and briefly explained the situation, Zhang Qiang was helpless, and agreed to attend with the county magistrate Sun Fuli, and rushed over immediately.
Zhou Nan agreed with Zhang Qiang, and then hurried to the VIP room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Song Xiaolin was making tea for Zhang Ningning and others, and smelled the fragrance of elegant jasmine tea, Zhou Nan frowned and subconsciously said softly, "Xiao Song, Mr. Zhang's skin will be allergic when he drinks flower tea, so ask someone to change it to green tea." ”
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, I know. Change it right away. ”
As soon as Zhou Nan said this, Song Xiaolin didn't react, and Zhang Ningning's attaché didn't react either, but Zhang Ningning was suddenly startled, and immediately raised his head and stared at Zhou Nan with incredible eyes, and a blush of surprise instantly appeared on his delicate face.
Zhang Ningning really doesn't drink jasmine tea, and if she drinks it, she really has skin allergies. But this is Zhang Ningning's extremely private personal living habits, which only the relatives at home understand, and even the people of the Sky Group don't know much. And even if someone in the company knows that she doesn't like to drink jasmine tea, they don't know that she has skin allergies when she drinks this thing.
How did Zhou Nan find out?
As Zhang Ningning's only man in his previous life, Zhou Nan naturally knew Zhang Ningning's strange "fetish", and when he smelled the fragrance of jasmine today, he didn't think too much about it, so he reminded Song Xiaolin by the way.
But after saying this, he knew that the "bad dish" was also "exposed", which would definitely arouse Zhang Ningning's suspicions.
If it were another woman, maybe she would laugh it off and not think much about it, but Zhang Ningning's mind was too delicate, so she naturally wouldn't let go of Zhou Nan's abnormal words.
Sensing that Zhang Ningning's suspicious and penetrating cold eyes fell on him, Zhou Nan smiled awkwardly, wanting to divert the topic, but couldn't find anything to say for a while.
Zhang Ningning frowned and couldn't stop looking at Zhou Nan, his eyes flickered, and his heart flashed.
………… Song Xiaolin made tea and left, Zhang Ningning's attaché also left, leaving only Zhou Nan and Zhang Ningning sitting on both sides of the sofa in the VIP room, each silent, and the atmosphere was very dull.
Long.
Zhang Ningning took a sip of the teacup elegantly, and then smiled faintly intentionally or unintentionally, "Secretary Zhou seems to know me very well, and even knows that I don't drink jasmine tea, but I remember that I didn't know Secretary Zhou before this." ”
Zhou Nan was speechless, and his eyes became a little swaying and complicated.
He knows Zhang Ningning's surname too well, no matter how he explains it, it can only make her suspicious. Besides, he couldn't explain it.
Seeing that Zhou Nan was silent, Zhang Ningning suddenly smiled mockingly, "I know Chairman Lan Ruo, Secretary Zhou is really blessed to have such a fairy-like fiancée who captivates the country and the city." But I found that Secretary Zhou seems to be a little dissatisfied......"
Zhang Ningning's words were clearly a bit harsh.
Although Zhou Nan's face did not change, he really smiled bitterly in his heart, Zhang Ningning is good at everything, but there is only one problem, that is, he is "too persistent", sometimes he speaks too harshly, he is unforgiving, and he refuses to leave room for others.
This was true in previous lives, and it seems that it is also true in this life.
Zhou Nan was still silent.
Seeing that he was still indifferent, Zhang Ningning couldn't help but feel ashamed, and slowly got up and looked down at Zhou Nan, with a mocking look floating on his incomparably beautiful face, "What, Secretary Zhou, is this expressing disdain for my words?" ”
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about......
"So, please answer me Secretary Zhou, what are you asking about my personal **?" Zhang Ningning looked at Zhou Nan coldly.
"I didn't inquire about Mr. Zhang's personal **, and I don't care about your personal **. Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, just an unintentional remark, I really don't mean anything else. Seeing Zhang Ningning "aggressive", Zhou Nan was also a little unhappy in his heart - why is this little girl's skin still this old problem?
Is it necessary to hold on to such a small thing?
didn't know that it was a trivial matter in his eyes, but in Zhang Ningning's heart, it was a big thing.
With her beauty and life experience, there are many men around her. But Zhang Ningning is a very traditional woman in her bones, her private life is very rigorous, and she never interacts with any unfamiliar men. And Zhou Nan is just a stranger in her eyes now, how can he be familiar with her **?
"That's strange, in addition to my family, even many of my friends don't know that I have this private matter that my skin will be allergic when I drink flower tea, how did you know about it, Secretary Zhou?" Zhang Ningning sneered.
Zhou Nan was speechless, looking up at the woman in front of him who was full of affection for him in his previous life, but finally left sadly because he didn't get anything in return, his heart was full of mixed feelings, his heart was stirring, and it was difficult to contain.
............, "Zhang Ningning, do you have to find out about some things?" Isn't that interesting? You're still like this......" Zhou Nan sighed, "The past is like a dream, and many things are both true and false, so it's hard to explain clearly......"
Zhou Nan's deep gaze turned to the side, his voice became very vicissitudes and emotion, and he continued to say softly, "I do know you very, very well, even better than you yourself...... Hey, don't ask me why, I can't tell you an answer at all. ”
"Not only do you not drink jasmine tea, but you also don't eat beef, although you have a petty bourgeois temperament, you only drink coffee and don't eat Western food; You never drink white wine, beer, only red wine, but you have to mix it with light salt water; You like beige, sky blue, and you hate big red the most; You like the classics, but you hate the so-called four famous novels; You like to drive, but you don't want to get a driver's license; You have a black birthmark on your left calf and a scar on the right side of your waist, you like to sleep naked, you ......"
Zhou Nan almost got carried away and spoke in an extremely gentle tone, until Zhang Ningning's face turned red and his lips trembled and interrupted him, "You...... You...... You...... Shut up! ”
Zhou Nan's words not only shocked Zhang Ningning, but brought her a strong shock that she couldn't describe in words, all the terrible feelings of being able to hide in front of a man almost made her faint on the spot.
These are all very private ** of her, many of which are not even clear to her family, and she is ashamed to say it, but this week Nan actually came to her like a few treasures...... Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Am I crazy or is the world crazy?
The world was spinning in front of him, and Zhang Ningning sat on the sofa, looking at Zhou Nan with blank eyes, but he couldn't say a word.
Zhou Nan sighed again, his eyes became very clear, "Ning Ning, you just need to remember that I will never hurt you...... If you want, I'll be your friend forever. ”
"You think it's an illusory dream." Zhou Nan got up slowly and said softly, "You rest for a while, and then we will attend the signing event." ”
After speaking, Zhou Nan strode away, leaving Zhang Ningning to sit there alone, falling into a wordless shock and unprecedented emotion.
Zhou Nan also can't control his emotions under the agitation of feelings, the two are alone, today's face-to-face "passionate collision" and "frank communication" completely belong to the two people, so they will bury themselves deep in their hearts and never mention it again.
As for whether it will pierce the layer of window paper between the two and lead to where the relationship between the two will go, Zhou Nan didn't think much about it.
………… Six o'clock in the evening. Ma Zhongling took the people in Ningshan Town to simply set up the venue, just hung a banner in the conference room of the Ningshan Hotel, and then set up a signing table and set up two table signs.
Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, and Sun Fuli, the county magistrate, rushed over one after the other, and almost entered the door at the same time, and Ma Zhongling and other town cadres hurriedly greeted them.
After Zhang Qiang entered the door, he smiled and waved his hand to Zhou Nan and said, "Comrade Zhou Nan, where is Mr. Zhang of the Sky Group?" ”
