Chapter 464: Hometown
The four old men here are worrying about the marriage of Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi in the corner, but the restaurant on the other side has already begun to have guests.
Xiucheng Hotel completed the venue layout as quickly as possible, and faced the banquet with the attitude of completing the political task, and the service attitude was really different from its state-run identity.
However, even so, it is difficult to hide the objective fact that Xiucheng Hotel is only a three-star hotel, and the personnel and equipment are a little unable to keep up with the gathering of guests.
"The economic conditions of Xiucheng have come up in the past two years, but the grade of catering and entertainment has not been mentioned."
Zhou Shuo sighed, looking at the restaurant decoration that was already a little old, and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Zhi thought about it very much, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, if I hadn't held such a big banquet two years ago, I would have asked me to come here for a meal by myself, I'm afraid I would have to feel distressed for a long time." ”
"As long as the Pan Han Group is still around, I think Embroidery City will definitely become a beautiful city one day, do you say?" She blinked and looked at Zhou Shuo expectantly.
Who is her brother Zhou, Li Zhi believes in his heart that Zhou Shuo is a person who is accustomed to creating miracles. Of course, this is not her feeling alone, everyone who has witnessed Zhou Shuo's start from the slight cold to today's business community in the embroidery city, one by one, what can ordinary people do?
Zhou Shuo took Li Zhi's hand, nodded lightly, and said affirmatively: "Of course, this is our home, the city we grew up in, and I will build it beautifully." ”
Xiucheng, Zhou Shuo really can't say what kind of feelings he has for it. In his previous life, he was born and raised in Sri Lanka. But Xiucheng is only a third-tier weak city under Bohai Province after all. Later, he rose step by step in the workplace, and the eldest could not return home. To speak of his heart. In fact, like all Chinese, they have a hometown dream.
The embroidery city in the previous life really missed too much. It did not develop much in the most critical decade of reform and opening up, and by the 10s of the 21st century, the citizens of the city could only live an ordinary life.
This city, which was once the pearl of the Bohai Corridor in history, is now not even as glorious as it was in the Liao and Jin countries a thousand years ago, and there is no scenery of China's heavy industry base at the beginning of the liberation of the Republic.
It is not like Fengtian with the world's top industrial technology, unlike Dagang, which has China's well-known scenic environment and commercial status, unlike the steel city with almost inexhaustible resources, and unlike the border city, which has its own unique cultural characteristics and border city advantages.
It's just a bit of a history. It's a bit of an old industry, a little bit of a once important transportation position, and a little bit of a rich old foundation. It is only one of China's 283 prefecture-level cities, which is extremely ordinary. Its citizens are industrious, as are people in other parts of China. Its citizens are brilliant, and so are the rest of China.
Zhou Shuo just hopes that at least in this life, the people of Xiucheng no longer need to be like themselves, they must leave their hometowns to get a job and realize their ideals.
The city, if only to stop making so many mistakes in history. If you miss so many opportunities, you will become a great city.
In his heart, he has always believed so surely.
Not to mention the whispers of Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi, the guests at the door of the restaurant rushed in one after another. The restaurant staff responsible for recording the names of the recruits kept calling out the names and units of the recruits. Soon the scene gradually became lively. Occasionally, some distinguished guests who are usually just famous and cannot meet each other will immediately surround them with another group of people to make friends, as if the banquet is a good opportunity to socialize.
"Sunshine Group. Ma Boyan, Ma Bochang. ”
Suddenly, the door of the restaurant resounded with the roll call of the staff. It's different from the lively atmosphere before. Suddenly, there was a quiet pin drop in the dining room.
Ma Bochang, chairman of Sunshine Group, who doesn't know this in the business community of Xiucheng? A few days ago, the tragic situation of Sunshine Motor City was obvious to all. The feud between the two families is not deep, at this time the Ma brothers suddenly appeared, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Ma Boyan, the dignified executive vice mayor, appeared here, and he actually used the name of Sunshine Group, which has too many meanings. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhou Shuo, thinking if there would be a dragon fight for a while?
However, the result is destined to disappoint everyone, everyone is a decent person, and no matter how big the conflict is, it will not break out in public. In doing so, the style is too low and the pattern is too small, which also means that one side has fallen into disadvantage.
"Comrade Li Zhi, congratulations on not forgetting to study at work, and still being admitted to our excellent university in Xiucheng with your own efforts." Ma Boyan followed Ma Bochang behind him, and he stretched out his hand from afar. Judging from the smiles on the faces of the two, it really doesn't look like a smashing field.
"Mayor Ma, Mr. Ma, I would like to express my gratitude to the two of you on behalf of Li Zhi." Zhou Shuo shook hands with Ma Boyan and Ma Bochang, and said with a smile.
Li Zhi looked a little flustered, bowed and saluted Ma Boyan and said, "Hello Mayor Ma, Mr. Ma is good." ”
"You see, I'm in a hurry, and I haven't prepared any gifts."
Ma Boyan looked at Zhou Shuo, Ma Bochang naturally stood in front of Li Zhi, Ma Bochang touched around his body, and actually took out a key, and stuffed it into Li Zhi's hand without saying anything.
"This is a Mazda that my bastard boy ordered earlier, and it's not a good car, so I'll give it to you as a welcome gift."
"I can't take this!" Li Zhi was startled, subconsciously pushed the key back, shook his head and said, "This gift is too precious, besides, I can't drive......"
Ma Bochang and Li Zhi were pushing back and forth because of a key, as if they were holding a red-hot soldering iron, and no one wanted to take it back.
Instead, Zhou Shuo and Ma Boyan looked at each other quietly for a while, tilted his head to stop Li Zhi's hand and said, "Since it is Mr. Li's intention, then you can put it away." Luckily, you don't have to work on the railroad anymore, so you don't have to worry about corruption. ”
"So, then I'll put it away?" Li Zhi looked at the car key in his hand, this is a car, she actually wants a car?
"Put it away." Zhou Shuo nodded lightly.
"Mayor Ma, please come in." Zhou Shuo's face didn't seem to react to Ma Bochang's delivery of a car, and said nonchalantly.
Ma Boyan and Ma Bochang followed behind Zhou Shuo, and he led them into the restaurant. The two of them didn't think that they would change Zhou Shuo's good face back to just one car, it was just a stepping stone. Zhou Shuo, the president of Fanhan Group, is worth nearly 50 billion yuan, and how much is the interest of a Mazda with this money deposited in the bank for a minute?
Therefore, Ma Bochang's doing this was just a test of Zhou Shuo. Test his attitude towards the two and whether there is a possibility of contact.
The result is still uncertain, Li Zhi accepted the car keys, and Zhou Shuo also made a gesture that could be discussed. For Ma Bochang, who is already in trouble, this is already a good start.
"Mayor Ma, please take a seat, Mr. Ma, please take a seat." Zhou Shuo ordered someone to pull open the head chair of the main table and let Ma Boyan up. He and Ma Bochang sat on both sides, and the waiter hurriedly brought three cups of tea, and then was driven away by Zhou Shuo from afar.
"I use tea instead of wine, toast Mayor Ma and Mr. Ma, and thank you two for coming to Li Zhi today." Zhou Shuo picked up the teacup, and finally showed some smiles on his face. It's not the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, he has a straight face, mainly to show an attitude. The visitor is a guest, and you can't thank the guest without a smile, right? If you really do this, it will inevitably be a little down.
"Where, as the deputy mayor of Xiucheng, I am also happy that Comrade Li Zhi of Xiucheng has such an outstanding talent......
Ma Boyan picked up the teacup and said: "In the past, there may have been some misunderstandings and unpleasantness between us, I also borrowed tea instead of wine, how about we meet and smile?" ”
Zhou Shuo squinted at Ma Bochang and saw that his face looked a little gray, but he still reluctantly raised the teacup.
In the secret fight with Ma Bochang, Zhou Shuo didn't suffer a loss, and now that everyone is smiling, what does he have to insist on? So he smiled and said: "Mayor Ma appreciates his face, of course I have to continue as a junior." Don't say anything about meeting and laughing, just think it's a bad job for me, don't you accompany Mr. Ma here. ”
When Ma Bochang heard Zhou Shuo's words of "making amends", his nose almost lost his breath. If you want to just treat it as if you don't have it, what does it mean to "just do" you did badly? You treat me like a woman and you can't be coquettish? It's really infuriating! Wow, yes, yes
This Ma Bochang sang Peking Opera in his heart, but his face was still unremarkable, and he nodded with a smile: "Where, they all say that they don't know each other if they don't fight, aren't we also a friendship?" ”
"Yes, yes, then a toast to our friendship." Zhou Shuo reached out and touched the two of them, and then took a sip of tea gently.
The tea is not good tea, but the three of them have a feeling of spring breeze on their faces.
"Mr. Zhou, now that the grievance has been resolved, do you think you can ask you to withdraw the notice to Sunshine Auto City?"
Having said that, who knows if Ma Bochang is dripping blood in his heart at this time. The president of the dignified Sunshine Group, the second in the business community of Xiucheng, and the new junior, it is really too bad to say such things. Ma Bochang has never said such soft words in the past ten years of business, and he has begged someone in such a low voice.
Zhou Shuo put down the teacup, lowered his head and thought about it, then turned his head to look at Ma Boyan and said: "It depends on Mayor Ma, if Xiucheng City Commercial Bank can allow personal capital to enter, what does it matter if Fanhan Group and Sunshine Group form a strategic partnership?"
