Zhang Zhuoyang can't say that he doesn't believe what Li Rui said, at most he is half-convinced! However, he was still very interested in the development of commercial real estate on the land of the textile factory, otherwise he would not have come all the way from Hong Kong. Of course, he also has his considerations, and the idea of this commercial real estate project is very attractive. Second, the land price is not high, even if the real estate market falls into a long-term downturn, it will not lose money, especially in the case of no project for the time being, and it is not a big deal to try the water.

"Fourth, you are so optimistic about the real estate market, so why don't you jump out and do it with me? You're so willing to nest in Pengcheng! Even if you want to stay here, you will be in charge of the textile mill project when it is negotiated. ”

"Don't mind! Later, I will only be responsible for introducing you and Zhao Wenlong to each other, and I don't care about how to talk about it between you. Li Rui shook his head, and then asked rhetorically: "Boss, do you say that in our country, it is better to have power or money?" ”

Zhang Zhuoyang did not say anything, it is good to have money, but power, especially in this country, money is under the constraints of power. He can get rich because he is a child of the Zhang family, once he lacks the foundation of power, the so-called wealth is just a passing cloud.

Li Rui knew what Zhang Zhuoyang was thinking, and if he was given a choice now, he might choose another path.

"I've been thinking a lot about it for more than half a year, and I want to say that the money alone is enough to make my current life very good, but what do I really want? Some time ago, I just figured it out, and I wanted to take a good walk in the officialdom and see if I could make a name for myself. Li Rui said.

Zhang Zhuoyang looked at Li Rui and was silent for a while before sighing and said, "Fourth, you have to think clearly, it's not easy for you to take this road!" ”

Of course, Li Rui understood Zhang Zhuoyang's subtext, and smiled: "I just want to try, if it really doesn't work, I'll come back to you when the time comes." ”

Since Li Rui said so, Zhang Zhuoyang could only divert the topic and said, "How about Zhao Wenlong?" It is still a bit bold to choose this commercial real estate project at this time. ”

Of course, Li Rui knows that Zhao Wenlong, the success of Huazhongcheng in his previous life is there, how can a person from such a grassroots background be an idle person if he can do that role. He introduced Zhao Wenlong's situation again, and specially mentioned his theory of fish farming.

"This Zhao Wenlong is a bit interesting, his theory of fish farming has something in common with your view of land acquisition just now, no wonder you want to help him so much." Zhang Zhuoyang said with a smile.

Zhang Zhuoyang and Zhao Wenlong met and chatted very happily, and the next day he went to see the textile factory plot accompanied by Zhao Wenlong, and after a simple exchange, Zhang Zhuoyang immediately made a decision to cooperate with Zhao Wenlong. On the third day after Zhang Zhuoyang returned to Hong Kong, a team from the Ascendas Group flew to Pengcheng to begin negotiations with Zhao Wenlong and preparations for the preliminary development.

"What, you're going on a blind date again?" One afternoon, just after class, Li Rui received a call from Gao Jie, "That didn't work out last time?" I thought you were already living in amphibious habitats. ”

"Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths." Gao Jie scolded on the phone, and then said: "You don't know that I'm bored during this time, my mother has found a lot of people to introduce me to people." Today, this was introduced by the wife of Commander Li of the military sub-district, and I want you to come over and help me as a staff officer. ”

"Isn't it? How old are you, and you still learn from those little girls who deliberately used me as a shield! Li Rui was surprised.

As soon as she heard Li Rui say that she was old, Gao Jie was suddenly stimulated and said, "What's the matter, what's wrong with my age?" In a word, will you help with this at all? If we don't help, neither of us will know anyone in the future. ”

Li Rui slapped his mouth lightly, and he was also cheap, which woman would like to hear others say that she was old, and hurriedly said: "Okay!" You said the time and place, and I rushed to it immediately. ”

Since the last time we met in Huazhong City, Gao Jie called for the first time, and heard that her previous blind date was unsuccessful, and this time she actually forced herself to be a shield, Li Rui not only was not disgusted, but secretly happy in his heart.

The location of the blind date was arranged in the western restaurant on the second floor of the International Hotel, and Gao Jie was already waiting at the gate of the hotel when Li Rui arrived, and he was a little surprised to see him driving a 212.

"I haven't seen it for a few days, and I've been mixed with the car family!" It can be seen that Li Rui can come, and Gao Jie is very happy.

"You're standing outside like this, and you're not afraid of being seen?" Li Rui said.

Gao Jie pursed his lips and said, "I made an appointment at six o'clock, and now the time has already passed, and people are estimated to have been waiting on it for a long time." ”

Li Rui is right to think about it, being late for a date is a woman's patent.

followed Gao Jie to the second floor, stood at the top of the stairs Gao Jie looked for it, pointed to a man sitting on the side and said, "That's him." I'll go over later, and you'll come in five minutes, and then we'll pretend to meet, and then I'll invite you to sit with us. ”

Li Rui took a closer look, although he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but the man looked like he was in his thirties, with his waist straight and his hands on his knees.

"He's a soldier?"

Gao Jie nodded and said, "A staff officer of the 12th Army is said to have just returned from studying in Russia. ”

"Soldiers, staff officers, returnees. So the future is bright! If you look at it right, I'm not really a light bulb! Li Rui said deliberately.

Gao Jie slapped him and said coquettishly: "Where is so much nonsense! You can see who you and I are in a few minutes after we meet. I'll go first, remember five minutes! As he spoke, Gao Jie's expression fell, he straightened his chest, and walked inside unhurriedly, with a graceful and noble temperament spontaneously emerged.

Li Rui lit a cigarette and leaned on the handrail at the staircase, there were not too many in the western restaurant, and the seat Gao Jie was sitting on was deliberately facing his side. looked at Gao Jie sitting there upright, with exquisite makeup showing a smile and a smile, showing the charm of a light mature woman. The longer they get along, the more Li Rui feels that his resistance to Gao Jie is slowly weakening, if such a stunner is like that, it feels really so, but if you really want that, the risk is too great, Li Rui thinks about it and thinks it's not a taste.

After smoking a cigarette, Gao Jie had already looked here twice, Li Rui smiled and tidied up his clothes, and slowly walked into the western restaurant.

"Huh! Li Rui is so coincidental, you are also here. Seeing Li Rui walk in, Gao Jie couldn't wait to get up and say hello.

"Yes, Gao Jie, you are also there." Li Rui walked over with a smile.

At this time, Gao Jie's blind date, the staff officer of the 12th Army, also stood up.

"Let me introduce, this is my friend Li Rui, and this is Liang Jun." Gao Jie introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Li." Liang Jun greeted Li Rui with a smile.

The word Mr. came from the mouth of a soldier, which surprised Li Rui a little, and after a careful look, he was a big man who was about 1.80 meters tall from him, with a burly figure, an angular face, and a very sharp gaze.

"Comrade Liang Jun, hello." Li Rui deliberately said in a proper manner.

Liang Jun shook hands with Li Rui with some surprise, the title of Mr. is still relatively trendy in China now, and the young man in front of him did not respond.

"Li Rui, you're alone, right? Let's sit together. Gao Jie hurriedly invited.

"Isn't it too intrusive?" Li Rui said deliberately, taking advantage of Liang Jun's inattention and squeezing his eyes at Gao Jie.

Gao Jie secretly glanced at him, and said very enthusiastically: "Don't bother, don't bother!" ”

Listening to the interaction between the two of them, Liang Jun was stunned again, but he had to invite immediately: "Comrade Li, let's sit together." ”

Li Rui took the opportunity to sit down next to Gao Jie, the two of them sat together, and Liang Jun was opposite, and the scene seemed a little incongruous.

The waiter came over to order, and Liang Jun ordered a medium-rare steak and borscht. Li Rui couldn't help but secretly say when he heard it: It's really from Russia, the bloody old Maozi's eating habits.

Gao Jie took the order book and discussed with Li Rui in a whisper, "I see you order Formosa steak, beef short ribs, they are grilled, they taste good, I have eaten them." ”

"I'm not familiar with this place anyway, you can just help me decide." Li Rui smiled.

Seeing that the two looked affectionate, Liang Jun on the other side felt a little unnatural, coughed, and asked, "Come to a bottle of red bar?" ”

"What do you say?" Gao Jie deliberately looked at Li Rui and asked for advice, as if the two of them were a couple.

"I'm okay with that." However, Li Rui thought that he was playing the role of a spoiler today, and said deliberately: "But I can't get used to that thing, the waiter brought me a bottle of Moutai." ”

"Poof", Gao Jie couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said when he found that something was wrong: "Forget it, I don't want it either, just have a glass of orange juice." ”

"I'm sorry sir, we don't have Chinese baijiu here." The waiter said on the side. He also felt that today's guest was very strange, how could he go to a Western restaurant to eat and ask for Moutai.

Before Li Rui could speak, Gao Jie next to him shouted: "What's going on here?" If you don't have it here, you won't have a Chinese restaurant next to it! How to do business, not flexible at all. In an instant, the originally graceful and noble aristocratic aura suddenly disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I'll ask the manager for some advice." The waiter hurriedly said.

Liang Jun looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, what is the situation? Before he came today, the introducer made it very clear that Gao Jie, the daughter of Gao Changlong, secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, is 28 years old, divorced, deputy director of the office of the Mining Bureau, and a cadre of the deputy department of the enterprise. It is said that he is decent, gentle and generous, but it seems that something is wrong with his posture. With an embarrassed face, he said, "I don't want the red wine, I'll have a glass of orange juice too." ”
