"That would be great."

Diba said happily, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

She was originally worried that she would lose money after contracting this hotel, but it would be difficult to lose money if she contracted the official reception business of the Provincial Supervisory Committee and the Provincial Government. After all, official receptions are a huge expense every year.

"Don't be too happy too early. Governor Cheng is relatively clean, and the Congress promotes the construction of a clean government and puts an end to public funds for eating and drinking. It is estimated that the Provincial Supervisory Committee will soon formulate a series of restriction standards for official receptions."

Ding Ning poured cold water on her.

"ah!"

Diba opened his mouth in shock and looked at Yang Qifei in disbelief.

Yang Qifei smiled wryly: "Can we still chat happily?"

"Really?"

Diba sighed in disappointment and said hesitantly: "Then shall we still contract?"

"Why not contract? The terrain here is so good, and the provincial supervisory committee is escorting us. What a good thing."

Ding Ning said with a chuckle.

"But, will I lose money?"

Diba hesitated.

"Won't."

Ding Ning said confidently.

"Why are you so confident?"

Diba asked puzzledly.

While talking, we had already arrived at the banquet location, the largest and most luxurious private room in the hotel.

"Sorry, I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."

While Ding Ning greeted Governor Cheng, Feng Jie and others who stood up to express their gratitude, Ding Ning quietly winked at Diba: "Secret."

Seeing him showing off, Diba wished he could punch him into panda eyes.

But she was also a show person. How could she do such an uncivilized thing in front of so many people? She could only nod to everyone with a smile, while gritting her teeth and threatening in an inaudible voice:

"Humph, if you dare to betray me, you will sleep on the sofa tonight."

Ding Ning smiled broadly, as if he hadn't heard anything, and murmured to himself, a duplicitous woman threatens brother? Hehe, your ethics are far from perfect.

He was going back to Ninghai tomorrow, and he didn't believe that Diba would let him sleep on the sofa alone.

During the dinner, I don't know whether it was because he got the news that Ding Ning was going to contract the guest house of the Provincial Supervisory Committee or because his daughter was successfully rescued. Governor Cheng was in a high mood. He kept drinking from Feng Jie and others with a smile on his face.

The other leaders were also extremely enthusiastic, with smiles on their faces. They said, "I respect you, Mr. Feng." They even used honorifics, which made Feng Jie, who usually doesn't drink much, feel embarrassed to refuse.

I can force myself to pour it into my stomach.

The group of elites brought by Feng Jie may not be good at business operations, but they really don't drink well. How can these veterans withstand the test of alcohol be bombarded like this? After a while, their kung fu is the same as Feng Jie's.

Everyone's eyes were straight and their tongues were wide open when they spoke.

Fortunately, Governor Cheng still had a sense of proportion. Seeing that they were almost drunk, he ordered everyone to stop toasting and began to ask in a roundabout way what Feng Jie's impression of Urumqi was.

Ding Ning, who had been pretending to be drunk, suddenly realized and smiled bitterly in his heart. Governor Cheng was really acting out of common sense. He first made Feng Jie half drunk, and then tricked him to see if he had invested in the black market.

After all, the intention is to tell the truth after drinking.

If Feng Jie is sure that he has investment intention, the province will probably focus on Longteng Group. If there is no investment intention, Governor Cheng may not waste time on them and make other preparations.

This is human nature. At the level of Governor Cheng, although he is not a businessman, he knows how to maximize profits and will not put all his eggs in the same basket.

This also made Ding Ning realize,

I'm afraid things have undergone some unknown changes. An unknown third party must have expressed its intention to invest in Qingjiang. Governor Cheng would use this method to test the attitude of Longteng Group and make a choice.

Although Ding Ning was a little unhappy about this, feeling that he had worked hard to open up the situation but was picked off halfway, he could also understand Governor Cheng's approach.

After all, he is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. Regardless of his position, he will naturally seek the greatest interests for the Qingjiang Province he represents. This is understandable.

But he was very curious about who this mysterious third party was, and how he could make Governor Cheng think that he could compete with the Longteng Group.

Feng Jie is worthy of being a business elite. Even when he is drunk, he still adheres to the bottom line. No matter how much Governor Cheng tries to test him, he always gives an ambiguous answer. Although he has expressed his attitude that he will definitely invest, how big the investment will be and where is the bottom line?

But he never spoke, leaving Governor Cheng's face full of resentment.

You must know that businessmen pursue profits without any friendship at all. Once the bottom line of investment is cheated by Governor Cheng, Longteng Group will be passive in future negotiations, and the interests will be stuck. There will definitely be profits, but it will

Compressed to the extreme.

Feng Jie is an elite figure who has served as a senior executive in one of the world's top 500 companies. If he could be swindled out of his investment bottom line after just one drink, then his years of work would have been in vain.

"Haha, Mr. Feng, you guys have a drink first. I'll excuse you for a moment. Some friends from Yanjing are here. I'll go next door and offer a toast."

Governor Cheng made an apologetic sound and left the table accompanied by Yang Qifei.

Seeing that Feng Jie was doing everything right, he knew that no matter how much he tried, he wouldn't be able to find anything, so he stopped trying in vain.

Although it did not meet expectations, it is reassuring to know that Longteng Group will definitely invest in Qingjiang. Of course, the more investors, the better. With investors competing with Longteng Group, Qingjiang Province will gain the greatest benefits from it.

If the investor from Yanjing hadn't been his son's friend and a well-established person, he would actually be more inclined to invest in Longteng Group.

Although the people from Longteng Group are a bit difficult to deal with, and their words and deeds are impeccable, they do come with sincerity in investing, unlike the investors from Yanjing, who begged because their son wanted to help him.

Come.

"Dad, why did you come here? I just tried my best to persuade Mr. Gu to invest in Qingjiang. You are so indifferent to me, where can I put my face?"

As soon as Governor Cheng entered the house, his son Cheng Xu came up to him and complained in a low voice with an unhappy face on his face.

"Hey, I'm also very busy."

Governor Cheng smelled of alcohol and explained in a low voice. Then he looked at a young man who stood up to greet him and said apologetically: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry. I made an appointment with another investor before you came here."

Okay, don't break your promise, I'm sorry, I'm really negligent."

"Governor Cheng is too kind."

The young man smiled gently and said nonchalantly.

He didn't understand that this was Governor Cheng's little trick. He deliberately told him that there was another investor with investment intentions, just to create a competitive atmosphere and enhance his voice in the subsequent investment negotiations.

"What investor can be bigger than Mr. Gu? Having Mr. Gu invest is enough. Other investors can play wherever they want."

Cheng Xu, who was always used to being arrogant, snorted in displeasure upon hearing this.

He thought that he had helped his father a lot by pestering Gu Shao to invest this time, but he didn't expect that his father didn't appreciate it at all, which made him feel very humiliated.

"Shut up, what do you know?"

Governor Cheng frowned and glared at him unhappily. This son was good at everything, but he was spoiled by his mother and his dandy habits gave him endless headaches.

"What I said is the truth. With Mr. Gu here, there are other investors

What's up."

Cheng Xu was still in awe of this father, and his head shrank when he heard this, but he still muttered unconvinced.

"Axu, don't talk nonsense. Being an official will benefit one party. Governor Cheng is also working so hard for the economic construction of Qingjiang. Of course, the more investors, the better. My little investment cannot drive the development of the entire Qingjiang Province.

."

Young Master Gu said calmly. Although he said he didn't mind, he still felt a little uncomfortable being treated so slowly.

He wasn't too concerned about investing in Qingjiang. If it weren't for his friendship with Cheng Xu, he wouldn't be interested in investing here.

Seeing that Governor Cheng seemed to be more interested in another investor, he secretly regretted agreeing to Cheng Xu's investment here.

"Okay, okay, stop talking a few words, Mr. Gu, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Governor Cheng's wife Chen Xiuqin saw that Mr. Gu was a little unhappy, glared at her husband complainingly, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Governor Cheng took the opportunity to take a seat with a smile as he found the steps. He was not concerned about Mr. Gu's attitude towards the possibility of withdrawing capital, and even looked forward to it vaguely.

It's not that he doesn't know Young Master Gu's identity, but the more such an identity he has, the more cautious he has to be, otherwise he will be in trouble if someone with intentions makes a fuss about it.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to live up to the kindness of his wife and son, he would have immediately rejected Mr. Gu's investment.

"Mr. Gu, I'd like to toast you and apologize to you again. This time everything came together. It was me who was negligent."

Governor Cheng did not show any airs, poured a glass of wine, stood up and spoke to Mr. Gu very sincerely.

"Uncle Cheng, you are too polite. There is no reason for an elder to toast a younger one. Come on, I'll do it first as a token of respect!"

Young Master Gu's dissatisfaction immediately disappeared when he stood up to toast in person. He stood up hurriedly and drank the wine glass in front of him in one gulp. Even his title was changed from Governor to Uncle.

Just kidding, Governor Cheng's identity is there. Even if he has a great background, he would not dare to let a deputy national leader toast him.

"Little sister, you eat, you have been in Qingjiang for more than a year, and you have lost a lot of weight."

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Cheng Xu looked at Chen Xiaolu, who had been silent all this time, and said with some distress, even though he looked like a playboy, he really loved this sister.

"It's good to be thinner, so that I don't have to lose weight every day."

Although Chen Xiaolu was still mentally ill, he didn't want his family to worry, so he could only pretend to be fine and joke.

Chen Xiuqin glanced at her daughter distressedly, and while holding food for her, she said unquestionably: "Xiaolu, after the Chinese New Year, I will go back to Yanjing with my mother. If you like to be a reporter, my mother will arrange for you to join Yanjing TV Station.

."

"Mom, I don't. If I go back, it will be so pitiful for Dad to be all alone here."

Chen Xiaolu said stubbornly and looked at Governor Cheng for help.

How could she not know what her mother was thinking? People in the Chen family in Yanjing had a very serious concept of being well-matched. They spent all day trying to introduce her to the young masters of Yanjing, just to get her to marry into a wealthy family.

It’s not like she doesn’t know what kind of virtue the second-generation ancestors of Yanjing are. Apart from being domineering based on their family background, they don’t have any other skills that they can show off. She doesn’t look down on such trash.

She finally used the excuse of accompanying her father to work at Urumqi TV Station and escaped from her mother's clutches. How could she be willing to go back so easily?

Governor Cheng ignored her plea for help and pretended not to hear, minding his own business chatting with Young Master Gu.
