Volume 3 Senior Officials _1462 Such a Coincidental Encounter
Hu Fei has left, and Wang Maoliang is still immersed in deep thought. During this period of time, he has been paying close attention to Guan Pingzhi's every move. Hu Fei has indeed had very little contact with Guan Pingzhi in the past few months, and even this time
Neither of them had a single conversation when they came to Beijing to attend the National People's Congress.
This is definitely abnormal.
Zhao Qingyang foolishly snatched Hu Fei's cooperation project this time, which indeed caused Hu Fei to suffer losses. However, Wang Maoliang could see that Hu Fei did not seem to value this cooperation with the French very much.
Wang Maoliang knows that Hu Fei has always been a decisive person. Once he finds that something cannot be done, he will give it up decisively instead of being indecisive and stuck in a dilemma over a useless project.
Moreover, Hu Fei must have been very clear in his heart that this was a very good opportunity to counterattack, and it was also an opportunity that Guan Pingzhi desperately needed. However, Hu Fei chose to remain silent, or in other words, he chose to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Of course, what Hu Fei was watching was the fight between his two tigers, Wang Maoliang and Guan Pingzhi, not the fight between Zhao Qingyang and Lei Guofu.
Wang Maoliang also heard about Guan Pingzhi's desire to set up his own business, and the news was relatively reliable. Looking at Guan Pingzhi's extraordinary rise, Wang Maoliang also knew that the driving force behind it was the Chen family.
Although Guan Pingzhi has good abilities and is also the executive vice governor of Jiangnan Province, this does not mean that the executive vice governor will definitely be able to become the governor. There are too many such examples in the political arena, and the deputy provincial committee committee
Secretary Wang Huan is equally qualified to compete, even more competitive than Guan Pingzhi.
If it weren't for the Chen family's behind-the-scenes efforts, Wang Huan would most likely be the governor of Jiangnan Province.
Why did Guan Pingzhi have the idea of setting up his own business?
Wang Maoliang took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and walked slowly to the balcony. If Guan Pingzhi really left the Chen family, should he change his strategy?
To be fair, Guan Pingzhi's ability is quite good, and no matter what his purpose is for leaving the Chen family, as long as Guan Pingzhi is not contributing to the family, he should also support him.
Guan Pingzhi was born in an ordinary worker's family, and his father-in-law was only a department-level cadre. He was able to get to where he is today basically because of his own ability.
The question is, who knows if this is real, or if it is just a show, a one-act drama carefully directed by Chen Haoyang?
Li Lin is a typical son of a rich family. No matter what he does, he always pays attention to face. If he wants to invite Hu Fei to dinner, he cannot go to a low-end place. Usually, the first choice for official entertainment is the Capital Hotel.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Fei drove to the Capital Hotel.
"Afei, you are really a busy man. It's really not easy to meet you."
Seeing Hu Fei walking into the hotel, Li Lin greeted him with a big smile.
"Li Lin, I just had a meeting and rushed over here."
Hu Fei held Li Lin's hand and smiled, "You also know that this is a time when there are many meetings. So, if you invite me in the evening, it will be an apology."
"No, no, it's me, Li Lin, who is here to treat you today."
Li Lin laughed and waved his hand, "Although we have worked together for a long time, this is the first time we have dinner together."
His voice paused, "I know you are no longer what you used to be. You are already a rising political star in the political arena. You have a bright future. People who want to treat you to dinner can line up from here to Zhangjiakou."
"You can't say that. It's just a meal. I'm afraid there will be more people who want to treat you to dinner."
Hu Fei was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that he couldn't let Li Lin treat him to this meal today.
"No, I can't compete with you."
Li Lin waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. The preparations should be almost complete upstairs. Let's chat while drinking."
When the two of them arrived at Tan's Restaurant, the private room had naturally been prepared long ago. The manager of the restaurant personally arranged for them and was extremely polite to them.
"Afei, what would you like to drink?"
Li Lin threw away the menu in his hand. He had already ordered a few dishes in the restaurant, and naturally the rest was to drink. "I know you like to drink vodka, but that wine is too strong and will affect these few dishes."
How about the taste of the dish and some red wine?"
"Okay, let's have some wine. We'll be driving later."
Hu Fei smiled and nodded.
"Then let's have two bottles of Lafite."
Li Lin waved his hand to the restaurant manager, looked at Hu Fei, and said with a smile, "A Fei, you are the only one among this younger generation that I really admire. The rest of the people who have been promoted so quickly mostly rely on the strength of their families. Don't you?"
Likewise, any move you make can cause a stir."
"Li Lin, your words are a bit exaggerated."
Hu Fei was a little dumbfounded. The way this guy spoke was really unique. The Li family was a wealthy and powerful family, and Li Lin's grandfather was even more powerful than the old man of the Chen family.
"It's not an exaggeration. Didn't you write an article about loans a while ago? My old man mentioned your name when he scolded me. I said, how can you die if you are not so smart?"
Li Lin rolled his eyes, "It's so bad that I don't dare to go home now, for fear that my old man will scold me when he sees me."
"Can you still talk properly?"
Hu Fei sighed, but his heart was moved. What did Li Lin mean by this? Could it be that tonight's dinner has something to do with the Li family?
While they were talking, the food and wine were served.
"No more, no more, let's eat. I haven't eaten the shark fin here for a while. It tastes good."
Li Lin greeted with a smile and waved away the pretty waitress who was waiting on the side.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere quickly got up. Li Lin was really funny when he spoke, and he spoke in a wild and unconstrained style. He talked about things now and then. When he was talking lively, someone walked in, "
Li Lin, why are you here?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and saw a young man wearing a white suit striding in.
"Oh, Mr. Wen, it's such a coincidence that you are eating here too."
Li Lin stood up with a smile, shook hands with the young man, turned around and introduced to Hu Fei, "A Fei, let me introduce to you, this is a famous literary young man in Sijiu City. However, he only knows people like me.
People who are just eating and waiting to die are different. Mr. Wen’s business has become bigger."
"The mineral resources in western Sichuan and the oil in northeastern Sichuan account for almost half of the country."
"By the way, Mr. Wen, this is Hu Fei, the grandson of the Chen family who has been missing for more than 20 years, and whom the old guys have been talking about a lot lately."
"Young Master Wen, hello."
Hu Fei took the initiative to reach out to Mr. Wen.
"Oh, it turns out you are Hu Fei. I have long admired your name."
Young Master Wen smiled and shook hands with Hu Fei, "Don't listen to this kid Li Lin, I don't have that much ability, it's just a little face given to me by others."
After some pleasantries, Li Lin asked the waiter to bring him a brand new pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Hu Fei vaguely understood that today's dinner was probably just for him to meet this young man.
