Li Qingmei was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the Pearl Harbor Hotel with her mobile phone in hand, the expression on her face was extremely tangled.
What was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone was Ye Su's name and number. Just after talking to Ye Su on the phone, Li Qingmei felt a little weird.
Today is the annual gathering day of the e7 group in Qingjiang City, and the Pearl Bay Hotel has always been the designated venue for the e7 group gathering. The meeting to discuss the content of the next stage of cooperation has ended, and what is about to begin is the necessary dinner process.
.
The so-called e7 group is the collective name for a conglomerate of seven influential group companies in Qingjiang City’s upper class society.
E is the initial letter of elite, which means elite.
The e7 group was first born fifteen years ago. At that time, Qingjiang City did not have the political and economic status it does now in China. At best, it was just enough to reach the threshold of a second-tier city.
However, with the tilt of national policies and the unique geographical location of Qingjiang City, some far-sighted businessmen are keenly aware that Qingjiang City will usher in an opportunity to take off!
Under this premise, these businessmen realized that in the process of rapid urban development, there must be a large number of opportunities, and these opportunities may be difficult to grasp with their own strength alone.
Therefore, some of these businessmen gathered together and formed a relatively loose group. The purpose of the group was to share resources and information with each other, and then jointly ride the wave of the economy, so that their respective enterprises and companies
Get opportunities for development and advancement.
This is the origin of the e7 group.
At the beginning, the entire group had as many as thirteen members, but as time went by, some companies eventually violated the rules and regulations set by the e7 group and were eliminated by the e7 group. Now, the entire group has
The group has settled down to just seven members.
The codename of the name was therefore changed to e7.
At the same time, the rapid development and rapid changes in Qingjiang City over the past fifteen years have also proved the uniqueness and sharpness of these businessmen. Riding on this wave, the wealth owned by the e7 Group and its influence in their respective industries have snowballed.
increase.
The various groups that were once only considered medium-sized have now basically grown into leaders in their respective industries in Qingjiang City.
Any member of the e7 group has at least one billion in assets, so that today's e7 group even has a certain influence on the economy of the entire Qingjiang City.
Of course, its influence is not big enough for the government to really pay attention to, but after all, it has only been fifteen years. If it continues to develop, God knows how far the e7 group will eventually develop.
The Li Group controlled by Li Qingmei is a member of the e7 Group. Since Li Qingmei's father died of a heart attack four years ago, Li Qingmei replaced his father and became the new chairman of the Li Group.
In the past four years, from being doubted about his ability and having a disdainful attitude towards him, to winning the recognition of most people today, the hardships and grievances Li Qingmei has endured are truly indescribable to outsiders.
Today is the e7 group's annual rally, but what is very different from previous years is that this year's e7 group rally has the participation of government officials for the first time.
The official came from the Qingjiang Development and Reform Commission and was the director of the Development Planning Division of the Development and Reform Commission. His name was Ren Guoxin.
The reason why I came to participate in the e7 group's rally is that it represents the government's attitude of attaching great importance to private entrepreneurs.
Therefore, it can be regarded as the government’s recognition of the e7 group. This is undoubtedly great news for the entire e7 group.
Originally, this should have made Li Qingmei happy. After all, everyone else in the e7 group has completely recognized her, and she truly regards herself as a member of e7, and this matter
The benefits to the entire group are obvious, and Li Qingmei is certainly happy to see the results.
But during the discussion on related follow-up cooperation projects in the afternoon, Li Qingmei was not happy at all.
There was no other reason. The way Director Ren Guoxin looked at her was really too uncomfortable.
Throughout the afternoon, whenever Li Qingmei spoke, Director Ren's eyes would always be fixed on her. Especially when she stood up, she could feel the gaze.
Glancing up and down her legs and waist.
Hong Guoguo is unabashed!
Director Ren was already in his fifties, and he was old enough to be Li Qingmei's father, so Li Qingmei felt extremely disgusted by such a look.
However, because the other party's position was too important, and because he was a representative of a related party, Li Qingmei could not easily offend the other party no matter what, so he had no choice but to spend the afternoon laughing and apologizing.
Finally, when it was time to have dinner, Director Ren came over to ask Li Qingmei if she was married. Looking at the hateful face of the other party, Li Qingmei didn't even think about it.
He said that although he has not yet started a family, he already has a boyfriend, and the relationship is very good, and he is planning to get married.
As a result, Director Ren expressed great regret and was very curious about Li Qingmei's boyfriend. He hoped that Li Qingmei would bring her boyfriend over during dinner no matter what.
The other members of the e7 group are all human beings, so they have naturally seen the clues. However, for them, chastity and moral integrity are both worthless things, so in order to cater to Director Ren,
Several other directors of the e7 group also encouraged Li Qingmei to bring out the boyfriend they had never seen before at night.
In fact, Li Qingmei also knew a little bit about their thoughts. These half-grown old men had already had various thoughts about her. Although she had become more powerful over the years, those thoughts had not been realized, and
Because of her toughness, those people finally accepted her existence, but if there is a chance, those old men will never let it go.
This is a society where individuals cannibalize others.
Therefore, with no other choice, Li Qingmei had to find a way to find someone to pretend to be her boyfriend.
But after taking out her mobile phone and looking through the phone numbers, she still couldn't find even one suitable candidate. Either the old man knew or heard of her, or he had the idea of pursuing her. If she really found her,
If she pretends to be her boyfriend, Li Qingmei is afraid of giving the other party a wrong hint, which will cause more trouble later.
As a result, after turning over and over again, Li Qingmei's eyes were fixed on Ye Su. The encounter on the plane more than half a month ago appeared in his mind, and then he dialed Ye Su's number...
…
When Ye Su happily agreed to help, Li Qingmei was momentarily distracted and wandered...
