Xuan Qingfeng cleared his throat and started talking about business. Mayor Wu was not a fool. He naturally knew why Xuan Qingfeng invited him here this time. Of course, it would not be as simple as reciting old friendships. He has already made preparations, but he doesn't mind, because he will not refuse anything that can bring benefits to him. Of course, all this must be done without affecting his future.
Xuan Qingfeng got straight to the point and asked: "Xiao Wu, are you sure about that project now? Is there any room for change?"
Mayor Wu had long known that Xuan Qingfeng had invited him here for this purpose, so he didn't show any surprise and said: "The project has been confirmed and will be handed over to Qing Hongsheng. Mr. Xuan, You are a sensible person, and I won’t hide it from you. I think Mr. Xuan should know who Qing Hongsheng is. In fact, the Qing family has already found us before our city’s project was launched. I hope we will The project was left to Qing Hongsheng. The Qing family’s status in Bangzi Country’s political arena is still quite high, and our city leadership team had to give in to this, so the project was naturally left to Qing Hongsheng.”
Xuan Qingfeng nodded slightly and said: "I understand this. The strength of the Qing family in Bangzi Country cannot be ignored. If the Qing family puts pressure on you, you really can't help but give up this face, Xiao Wu. , since you are so honest with me, then there is no need for me to pretend to be in front of you. In recent years, the development of Jinding Group has been unsatisfactory and faced with many crises. Today's Jinding Group also urgently needs a good The project turned around the situation. Originally, I was hoping that I could win this project and help Jinding Group turn around. However, this kid Nanhao was so unlucky. Not only did he not win this project, he also had an arrogant attitude and offended you. It really makes me sad. I’m so angry.”
"Don't blame him, Mr. Xuan. In fact, the problem in this matter is not his." Mayor Wu said, "Even if Nanhao had not done that, this project would not have been handed over to Jinding Group. This project has already been completed." Sure, the so-called bidding meeting is just a formality. But what Mr. Xuan said made me feel ashamed. When I was in the most difficult time, it was Mr. Xuan who helped me regardless of reward, and now I I sat in the position of mayor of Nanming City, but failed to repay Mr. Xuan's kindness. I feel really ashamed."
"Xiao Wu, please don't say that. We are all our own people. If you say that, it would seem too foreign." Xuan Qingfeng said, "I helped you in the first place because I thought you were a human being. Not bad, at least, with your ability, it shouldn’t be such a result. I don’t want to get anything from you. Even now, it is still the same. I admit that I want to get this project, but if this affects you If you want your future, even if you are willing, I will not agree to it. Everything must be done without affecting your political future. Otherwise, I helped you get your current status, but I made you unable to sit still. Doesn't this position mean that I haven't done anything? Xiao Wu, as for you, don't feel any psychological pressure. Since the Qing family has already talked about this project and has given it to Qing Hongsheng to do, then so be it. , Don’t feel guilty, what is our relationship? I have always treated you as one of my own. If you are so indifferent, it will make me feel hypocritical."
Xuan Nanhao listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but nodded secretly. There is no doubt that Xuan Qingfeng's speaking skills are much higher than his own. It is indeed difficult for people to say anything when playing the favor card like this. Originally, Mayor Wu owed Xuan Qingfeng It was a favor. Now, Xuan Qingfeng still acted like he was thinking about Mayor Wu at every turn. This made Mayor Wu feel a little overwhelmed. Even if he wanted to refuse, he would find it difficult to say it out loud.
Mayor Wu has long been mentally prepared, knowing that since he came today, he may not be able to give up so easily. In fact, he still respects Mayor Wu in his heart, and he is not the kind of ungrateful person. , when I was in the most difficult time, if it weren't for Xuan Qingfeng's help, I'm afraid that not only would I not have the status I have now, but I would have nothing. Now, Xuan Qingfeng still pretends to think about himself, and says In view of his difficulties, if he did nothing, it would seem too unkind. Even if word got out in the future, he would be criticized.
Taking a deep breath, Mayor Wu said: "Mr. Xuan, let's do this. I'll make a suggestion and you can see what you think."
"Say." Xuan Qingfeng said.
"This project has been handed over to Qing Hongsheng. Now it is a foregone conclusion. I am afraid it is something that cannot be changed. My power is limited and I cannot reverse this situation at all." Mayor Wu said, "And it is something that cannot be changed." , if I have to do it, I'm afraid I will offend the Qing family, and it will be difficult to continue to mix in this circle in the future. Mr. Xuan often said in the past that people can't help themselves in the world. In the past, I still I don’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Now, I have a deep understanding. I will definitely not be able to win this project. However, the Nanming City Government has several big projects in the future. I can’t guarantee that I can hand them over to them all. Xuan Lao will do it, but there is definitely no problem in winning one or two. After all, the strength of Jinding Group is also there. Xuan Lao, what do you think of this?"
Xuan Qingfeng said so much in a roundabout way, wasn't his purpose just to get Mayor Wu to say such words himself? Xuan Qingfeng is not the kind of greedy person, and he also knows that it is definitely not possible to win all those projects. Possibly, if he is aggressive and forces Mayor Wu, not only may he get nothing in the end, but he may even turn against Mayor Wu because of this. This will not do him any good, so he will give up as soon as possible. , that’s it.
The goal has been achieved. Xuan Qingfeng was naturally overjoyed. He smiled and said: "Whatever you say is fine. I invited you over today just to have some family time. After all, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and by the way, I have no other intention to ask Nan Hao to apologize to you. However, since you said so, I will be disrespectful. Xiao Wu, I did not misjudge you. You can rest assured. I guarantee it with my reputation. I will definitely do a good job in the next project, and I will not let you fail to explain it, so that you can add a lot to your political achievements."
"I naturally believe in Mr. Xuan, otherwise, I would not be willing to do the project for Mr. Xuan." Mayor Wu said, "I know Mr. Xuan's character very well, and naturally he will not let me be affected in any way." of."
"Of course, to tell the truth, in my heart, I have always treated you as my son. It may be a little abrupt to say this, but it is what I mean, so I will not harm you no matter what. Xuan Qingfeng said. After a pause, Xuan Qingfeng turned to look at Xuan Nanhao and gave him a look. Then, he turned to Mayor Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, I heard that your child is about to be one month old." Yes, right?"
"Yes, the full moon will be in three days." Mayor Wu said, "The little guy is very cute. When can Mr. Xuan have time to visit Nanming City?"
Nodding slightly, Xuan Qingfeng said: "I have been busy during this period, so I didn't take time to go there. This is a little thought from me. It can be regarded as a blessing for the child." As he said, Xuan Qingfeng started from Xuan Nanhao took a gift box in his hand and handed it over.
"Why do you have the nerve to let Mr. Xuan spend money?" Mayor Wu declined.
"I can be considered his elder. It's just a small kindness. Xiao Wu, don't refuse me." Xuan Qingfeng said, "It's not a precious thing, it's just a small kindness. If you want If you don’t accept it, you won’t give me face.”
"Since Mr. Xuan said so, I will accept it. Thank you Mr. Xuan." Mayor Wu said.
Nodding with satisfaction, Xuan Qingfeng said: "Open it and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll change it another day."
Xuan Nanhao watched from the side and couldn't help but secretly admire him. Xuan Qingfeng was really impeccable in his words and deeds. He was still far behind. This gift-giving was really a very deep knowledge. He wanted to make the other party unable to refuse. , to accept this gift, you must accept it happily, and it must not affect his future, and you must have a suitable excuse, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., these cannot be done casually, ginger is still spicy, There is no doubt that Xuan Qingfeng is a master in this aspect.
Mayor Wu opened the gift box and was stunned for a moment when he saw the gift inside. It was a unicorn carved from a top-grade jadeite. It was lifelike. At first glance, it was worth a lot. Mayor Wu couldn't help but look at Xuan Qingfeng in amazement. He glanced at it and said: "Mr. Xuan, you...your gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Xuan Qingfeng smiled slightly and said: "How can I take back what I gave away? Besides, this gift is not for you, but for the junior I have never met. This gift is only mine. My heart, if you refuse, wouldn't it hurt my heart very much, because you don't regard me as one of your own."
Mayor Wu smiled awkwardly. He had already said this. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to refuse. Moreover, if his attitude was too tough, it would inevitably make Xuan Qingfeng feel uncomfortable and deeply Taking a breath, Mayor Wu said: "Since Mr. Xuan said so, I will accept the gift first."
