The twelfth floor of the Tianhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Building, the office of Vice Mayor He.

Vice Mayor He, dressed in a gray suit, sat on the leather sofa, frowning slightly, and drinking tea absentmindedly. On the opposite side was Director Xia of China Merchants Bureau, with a sad face, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were more obvious, and the gaiwan tea in front of him had not touched at all.

The atmosphere was very depressing, and both of them were silently thinking about problems.

For a long time, Vice Mayor He took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Is there really no hope?" Although the tone was calm, there was still a hint of bitterness.

"It does seem to be very small at the moment," Director Xia shook his head helplessly, and continued:

"Our bureau has done a lot of work, and I myself have talked to Mr. Jiang twice, and his attitude is really incomprehensible. According to the information learned inside Vice Mayor He's family banquet in Chapter 55, the vast majority of the members of the delegation were in favor of choosing Chenyang City, and it is estimated that even if Mr. Jiang is inclined to us, he cannot ignore the other shareholders of the consortium and insist on going his own way, not to mention ...... Alas, Ningsha's current situation really broke the old man's heart. ”

The two fell silent again.

Dididi, Director Xia's mobile phone rang, standing out in this quiet, well-soundproofed office.

Director Xia took out his mobile phone and glanced apologetically at Vice Mayor He, who waved his hand lightly to show that he didn't mind.

Director Xia stood up, walked to the window and pressed the answer button on his mobile phone.

"Hey, who's that? What, the delegation booked a plane ticket the day after tomorrow! Director Xia's voice suddenly became louder.

"Well, tell me more about ......

When Vice Mayor He heard this, his heart tightened, and his face became gloomy.

Director Xia turned off his phone for more than ten minutes before turning off his mobile phone, and his face was even more ugly than Vice Mayor He.

"Mayor He, the delegation informed us that they have booked a ticket for the night after tomorrow and are preparing to return to China for a board meeting. According to internal information, Mr. Jiang has planned to give up the right to make decisions and let all the shareholder representatives of the board of directors of the consortium in Chapter 55 of the family banquet of Vice Mayor He vote to choose the plan. This ......"

Vice Mayor He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

"Forget it, Lao Xia, I know you've done your best." Vice Mayor He said calmly.

Director Xia's face was cloudy, and he was speechless for a while.

"Lao Xia, since the delegation is leaving, we must not lose our courtesy, after all, there is an old saying in China, buying and selling is not benevolence and righteousness," Vice Mayor He paused and continued:

"In this way, tomorrow night, I will invite Mr. Jiang in my private name, I don't have to go to the hotel, it seems too formal, just in my house, set up a family banquet to see him off."

Director Xia nodded and sighed helplessly.

Vice Mayor He called Secretary Lin in and said to him:

"Xiaolin, you go to the city government guest house and ask them to send two chefs with better skills to prepare a dinner table at my house tomorrow, and it is best to get some dishes with local characteristics."

When Director Xia heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

"Mayor He, I don't think there's a need to set up a banquet at home, so let's introduce a very distinctive private restaurant, the place is a bit out of the way, and it's not big, but the privacy is very good, and there won't be any trouble. The key is that according to my vision, the quality of the dishes there is not even comparable to the VIP restaurant of Tianhai Hotel. And the atmosphere is very warm, and setting a table there is similar to the nature of a family dinner. ”

"Oh, there's such a place?" Vice Mayor He was a little surprised, Lao Xia's tea ceremony and food taste were famous in the city, and it was not easy to get his praise, which aroused his interest.

The two discussed and decided to arrange it by Director Xia, mainly to invite Mr. Jiang and his granddaughter, and let Vice Mayor He's wife also attend, so as to increase the atmosphere of the private banquet, and reduce the number of personnel to contact feelings, and then look at the specific situation and make the final effort.

In the C luxury suite on the twentieth floor of Tianhai Hotel, Mr. Jiang, who has gray hair, sits on the sofa by the window, stroking Huali with his hand

Wooden cane, looking out the window quietly distracted.

Her granddaughter, Jiang Yueting, was sorting out documents and packing up with an assistant. After a while, seeing that there was no movement on her grandfather's side, she was a little uneasy, so she came over to take a look.

"Grandpa, can't you still think about it? After all, we are not a charity, and the interests of the group must always come first, which is what you taught us, right? Jiang Yueting sat down next to her grandfather and persuaded softly.

Mr. Jiang was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said:

"Tingting, you're right, I've been fighting in the mall for so many years, and I'm rarely emotional, this time, alas, ......"

Mr. Jiang sighed deeply.

"Grandpa, if you really can't let go of Ningsha, donate a sum of money in the name of the group, help them repair roads, build a few primary schools or something, and do your best. And, a lot of people do. ”

Mr. Jiang patted his granddaughter's hand gently, and it seemed that he had no choice but to do so.

"Grandpa, just now Director Xia of China Merchants Bureau called, tomorrow night Vice Mayor He will hold a family banquet and invite grandpa and me over, you can see ......" Jiang Yueting said.

"Go ahead, I met Vice Mayor He once, he is a very good official, young and capable, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to cooperate with him. We'll come over tomorrow with some gifts and apologize to him. Mr. Jiang said regretfully.

Jiang Yueting nodded, then stood up and went to discuss with the assistant about arranging tomorrow's banquet.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The ordering department of the private restaurant of Youran Farm received a young man who claimed to be the assistant to Director Xia of China Merchants Bureau, and wanted to see the dishes in person

The general person in charge of the museum said that there are important things to explain.

The waiter had no choice but to call Li Youran. Li Youran received the assistant in the office, and when someone came to explain the situation, Boss Li was taken aback.

What the? The deputy mayor and his wife are going to hold a banquet, and they have to invite the boss of an Australian consortium. Li Youran felt that his head was bigger twice, these big bodhisattvas, if they don't go to a star-rated hotel, how can they come to patronize their own small temple, if something goes wrong, then what's the matter?

The assistant saw the other party's concerns, and he comforted him, it's just an ordinary meal, don't be so nervous, just clear the restaurant on the second floor and do a good job of service. As for the safety issue, there is no need to worry about it at all, the city government will naturally have arrangements.

Li Youran also calmed down, it seems that this matter can't be pushed off, so he can only go ahead. He chatted with his assistant in detail to learn about some specific situations. Especially after learning that the owner of the Australian consortium was born in Ningsha, he gradually felt a sense of proportion.

After sending off the assistant, Li Youran hurriedly went to Chef Liu to discuss the specific arrangements with him, which was not a bit sloppy.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

At half past six the next night, Li Youran was informed by the waiter that the guests had arrived. He didn't dare to slack off, packed his clothes, and went downstairs to the backyard!!
