Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning simply let go, handed himself over to the two young ladies, and let them feed him and serve her.

Zou Kai said with a smile: "District Chief Li, there is cordyceps in this soup, do you know cordyceps?" ”

"I've heard of it." Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "But today is the first time I've eaten it." ”

"Do you know what it's used for?" Zou Kai said with a smile.

"Hey, I really have to ask Mr. Zou to clean my illiteracy!" Li Xiaoning deliberately followed Zou Kai's voice and said.

Zou Kai didn't say it directly, but swept his eyes around a few young ladies, and then said with a smile: "I'll tell you a joke, and you'll understand." ”

"Then I'm going to have to listen to you." Li Xiaoning sat up straight and said.

Zou Kai took another sip of soup, then coughed twice and began to speak: "A county magistrate went to inspect the field and saw a farmer plowing, so he asked you what you were digging, and the farmer replied, 'Cordyceps'. 'What's the use?' the magistrate asked again. The farmer said, 'It's a tonic, and the man can't stand it, and the woman can't stand it, and the man and woman can't stand it.' A young man who went to the countryside with the county magistrate heard the words and said, 'Then make more at lunchtime.' The farmer replied: 'I can't stand it if I do too much.' The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you have more varieties of such a good thing?" The farmer lowered his head and sighed, saying, 'Oh! I can't stand it if I plant too much. ’”

Zou Kai finished speaking in one go, and after finishing speaking, he laughed insolently. The girls were also blushing, but they did not speak.

"District Chief Li, look, these girls are not bad, right? They all blushed, this is very pure. Zou Kai said with a smile.

Li Xiaoning naturally heard that Zou Kai seemed to be making fun of a few young ladies, but he was actually making fun of himself, or he was suggesting that he should not be so pure. He glanced at a few girls generously, and then smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the girls who blush after hearing this kind of story are all pretending to be pure, and they don't blush at all." ”

"Why?" Zou Kai asked strangely. Several girls also looked at Li Xiaoning, not knowing why he said that.

"Because if you are pure and pure, you can't understand it." Li Xiaoning said lightly. He's actually making a pun on that. It means that you said that you don't mess with me, I don't eat your set.

After two dishes, the waitress brought two glasses of cold wine, not the red wine that Li Xiaoning often drinks, but the cocktails made by the hotel's bartender. Li Xiaoning took a sip, felt very comfortable, and drank it all.

Because the first two dishes were big supplements, Li Xiaoning felt a little hot on his body, and the soft bodies of the two young ladies were about to rub against him from time to time, and he was a young man, so his body couldn't help but have some uncontrollable reactions, he glanced at Zou Kai, who was still calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zou is worthy of being a successful person, he will enjoy it, and I am studying today." ”

Zou Kai didn't care about the sarcasm in Li Xiaoning's words at all, and began to run to the theme with the strength of wine: "Okay, drink the wine too." Let's not continue pretending. You understand it, and I know it. I, Zou Kai, am actually from a turtle, so ah, I won't call you District Chief Li anymore. It's still comfortable to call your little brother here. ”

"That's what my brother looks up to." Li Xiaoning didn't want to continue to be hypocritical with Zou Kai, and Zou Kai's style was actually quite temperamental to him, so he also changed his name.

Zou Kai continued: "I won't tell you, I invite you here today, it's really something." ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaoning raised his head.

"Don't be nervous, it's a win-win situation for both parties." Zou Kai said with a smile.

"A good thing? Then I'll have to listen to it. Li Xiaoning said with a deliberate smile.

"Ouch, my little brother, you're pretending to be confused. If you pretend again, this meal will be boring. Zou Kai saw that Li Xiaoning was pretending to be stupid, so he deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction and said, "I'm not here for the new area of international tourism and resort." ”

"Oh, that's it. If you want to participate in the construction of the new international tourism resort area, just wait for the bidding. There's no need to ask for dinner in private! Li Xiaoning said in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

This tone made Zou Kai anxious, and said without thinking: "My little brother, can you stop pretending to be stupid with me?" I'm going to die if I pretend to be myself. ”

"Don't, you hit me dead, I can't afford it." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.

"Look, here we go again, isn't it? If you do so, I'll really jump off this floor. Zou Kai said.

The two of them fought with each other for a while, complaining that should have been made, being sarcastic, and being sarcastic, Li Xiaoning had somewhat regained some balance in his heart. He has known Zou Kai for a long time, but unlike Nie Tianyang, he values himself very much. Zou Kai has never looked at him very seriously. Li Xiaoning is not a saint either, and if others don't look at him squarely, he is not happy.

"Alright. Brother Zou, thank you for your hospitality, and I won't be with you. Li Xiaoning wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I'll tell you the truth." The new area of international tourism and resort must be built into a world-class one, and if you don't have that diamond diamond, it's better not to do porcelain work. ”

"So, I just don't have a chance at all?" Zou Kai asked with squinted eyes.

"Whether you have a chance or not is not up to me, it depends on whether you have enough strength." Li Xiaoning did not avoid Zou Kai's eyes at all.

Zou Kai and Li Xiaoning looked at each other for a while, then looked away and said, "Let's not talk about business today." Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, such a good dish, don't eat Lang Fei. ”

The two of them ate for three hours, and after eating, with the strength of the wine, Zou Kai pulled Li Xiaoning to sit downstairs in the performing arts city, Li Xiaoning was willing to give him another chance, under the pretext that he was drunk, he couldn't do it, and he escaped from Zou Kai's hospitality.

The reason why Li Xiaoning said so clearly to Zou Kai, in addition to not wanting to show favoritism, is that he already has a potential partner. Binhai International Tourism and Resort New Area is to be based on property rights hotels, and this field, China has not done a good job, the best cooperation object of this project is foreign enterprises.

This time, it was his own person who made the match, Dai Yimin. One of Dai Yimin's classmates knew the senior management of Sofitel Hotel Group, and through the relationship of this classmate, Li Xiaoning knew that the president of Sofitel Hotel Group Asia would fly to Songjiang, the largest city in China, tomorrow.

So, early the next morning, Li Xiaoning got on the plane to Songjiang. He brought only his secretary, Hou Shuai, with him, instead of bringing a whole delegation like other government leaders.

After Li Xiaoning took Hou Shuai off the plane, he found an express hotel to stay in, and took out the information that Dai Yimin gave him and looked at it. The president of Sofitel Asia is named Jenny, a woman who is 38 years old in Chinese New Year's Eve. As for the resume, Dai Yimin didn't get it, and all the information about this Jenny is only a little bit. Of course, Li Xiaoning also knew that her plane would land in Songjiang at half past two in the afternoon.

"Xiaohou, have you dealt with foreigners before?" Li Xiaoning suddenly asked Hou Shuai.

"When I was in school, I had a few international student friends, I don't know if it counts?" Hou Shuai didn't know the purpose of Li Xiaoning's question, so he replied honestly.

"Oh. That spoken English should be good! Li Xiaoning asked with a smile.

"It's okay, there won't be a problem with general communication!" Hou Shuai nodded and said.

"Alright, you'll be my translator later." Li Xiaoning said.

"Boss, aren't you a top student at Yenching University? Why do you need me to translate? Hou Shuai asked embarrassedly. Now Hou Shuai has also learned the affectionate address of the secretary to the leader, and has changed to call Li Xiaoning the boss.

"I know what I know, but translation is a must." Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "In this case, I must speak Chinese. The shelf at that end still needs to be ended. ”

"Oh." Hou Shuai nodded as if he didn't understand.

At 2:20 p.m., Li Xiaoning arrived outside the airport on time, and as a department-level cadre, he stood outside waiting for the God of Wealth from the United States, and he was not ashamed at all. Because many of the people who are waiting outside with Li Xiaoning are higher than Li Xiaoning, and there are also many presidents of large groups and companies. What surprised Li Xiaoning the most was that at half past two, a train convoy drove in, and Li Xiaoning looked at the license plate, which turned out to be the license plate of the Songjiang Municipal Government. And looking at the license plate number, this leadership level is definitely not low, it is estimated that he is either a deputy secretary or a deputy mayor. Songjiang is a municipality directly under the central government, and the deputy secretary and deputy mayor are the deputy provincial level, and there may even be a high allocation at the provincial level.

Li Xiaoning looked at this posture, hesitated for a moment, and then called Hou Shuai beside him and said, "Xiao Hou." I'll go back first, and you stay here. Follow Jenny, see which hotel she is staying in, who she is meeting with, keep following, and wait until she goes back to the hotel to rest before you call me. ”

"Boss, we're finally here. How? How? Hou Shuai looked at Li Xiaoning in surprise, and originally wanted to say how could he give up halfway, but found that the word was a little derogatory, so he didn't say it.

"Are you trying to say how can I give up halfway, do you?" Li Xiaoning looked at Hou Shuai and smiled, and then said: "You are wrong, I didn't give up halfway, but didn't do useless work." There is a thing in the world called foiling, when you are very good or the conditions are very good, you can choose many people to participate in the comparison, so that you can set off your excellence more and more. But when you are not inferior to your opponent in all conditions, you can only become a foil for others, and you are nothing but a clown. That's the way it is today, you look at these people. Whether it is in business or politics, they are not ordinary people, they are much better than us, do you see that person? It was a person at the level of the deputy mayor of Songjiang City, and I was obviously a short man standing with them. We can't stand on a fair platform to talk to Jenny about this on this occasion today. Because the opponent's light is too bright. At this time, we have to avoid its edge first. Do you understand? ”
