The wine in the glass was as red as blood. Shaking the glass gently, Shen Menglan took a careful sip. The taste was mellow and timeless, and she really had a long aftertaste.
Shen Menglan put down her wine glass gracefully and squinted her eyes slightly. She was in a good mood.
She grew up in the upper class and claimed to be a princess of the upper class, but in fact she had not been happy since she was a child and did not have much self-confidence.
When she first arrived in Chujiang, she had a difficult time. Although she claimed to be the chairman of the largest private enterprise in Chujiang, she had always been passive, especially when dealing with officials. She was at a complete disadvantage.
But now, everything has turned around.
She squinted at Xu Bing, the mayor of Jingjiang, who was sitting in front of her.
This is Xu Bing, who prides himself on being powerful and feels good about himself. When dealing with him before, this guy always had lustful eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
At that time, I had something to ask for, and even though I felt sick in my heart, I still had to compromise and compromise.
But now, the situation is different. Shen Menglan has become the favorite of Chujiang. Her Wanhai Group has been receiving good news since the beginning of the year.
As for the cities in Chujiang, the economy is in trouble. Who doesn’t want to attract investment?
Just like Xu Bing in front of him, he had talked with Tu Gang many times, and his enthusiasm for Wan Hai's investment in Jingjiang was extremely strong. The two failed to reach a consensus in the negotiations, so he went to the provincial capital to personally A visit has come.
Seeing Xu Bing's frank and generous look, Shen Menglan couldn't help but laugh.
If it had been before, Xu Bing would probably have been holding a wine glass, squinting his eyes and talking about those disgusting words without shame or impatience. How could he be as honest as he is today?
Shen Menglan feels that she has more dignity today than ever before.
In this world, dignity is linked to strength. Wanhai Group is different from the past, and Shen Menglan will naturally not be what she used to be in the eyes of others.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Tu is here today. We can have a good talk about the expansion of several of your factories in Jingjiang. You and I reached an agreement last year. You agreed to purchase land with a certain amount of funds. At that time, we also made full preparations. Preparations have been made and demolition work has begun.
We are very sincere, but you changed your mind at the critical moment. This is not credible!" Xu Bing said.
Shen Menglan frowned slightly, looked at Tu Gang and said, "Uncle Tu, what's going on?"
Tu Gang coughed dryly and said bluntly in Mandarin that was extremely difficult to understand: "Menglan, what you talked about before... I didn't know about it before. But I went to Jingjiang for several on-the-spot inspections. Due to the changes in our equipment and production lines last year, After the replacement, the current production capacity of several of our branches can fully match our marketing.
Now that we have limited funds, the core funds must be used for marketing. This is a plan decided by you personally, so I think it is not urgent to expand the factory for the time being.
Of course, Mayor Xu has good intentions, but I can’t completely deny it. So if the conditions are particularly suitable, we will still fully respect Jingjiang’s sincerity!”
Xu Bing's expression changed and he secretly cursed the old fox.
This Tu Gang really did one thing to his face and another behind his back. When he was discussing investment with China Merchants Bureau, he kept saying that Jingjiang was not the only choice for Wanhai Group. Wanhai Group now has many investment options, and Jingjiang was not the most advantageous. place.
But now, he changed the topic and actually said that investing in and expanding the factory was not urgent. Isn't this two-faced?
Shen Menglan pretended to be serious, but she was happy in her heart.
Tu Gang is worthy of being a veteran who has followed his father for many years. He is very good at figuring out the leader's thoughts. What he said was just right, just enough to give Shen Menglan an excuse.
Shen Menglan personally poured a glass of wine for Xu Bing, and said with great shame: "Mayor Xu, to be honest, I really feel ashamed. You have always taken such good care of our Wanhai Group, but now we are because of our own business problem and cannot give you satisfactory results.
You may not know that the internal and external environment has changed so much now. Last year our Wanhai Group was in danger, but this year things have turned around. Since the Chinese New Year, our production capacity has tripled.
This has posed an unprecedented test to our working capital and company management. Since the beginning of this year, I have devoted most of my energy to this area, and I have left Uncle Tu to be fully responsible for the investment!"
She paused slightly and said: "Uncle Tu just said the problem of funds, and he was telling the truth. There are too many places looking for us to invest now, and we actually don't have many projects that we need to invest in. Under such circumstances, there are Sometimes we will be in trouble.
But my personal determination to invest in Jingjiang remains unchanged, and I am still optimistic about the future of our Jingjiang."
Xu Bing was overjoyed and stared blankly at Shen Menglan. Shen Menglan sneered secretly in her heart and changed the topic and continued:
"But in terms of time, we may have to consider the future. We will consider this matter again at the end of this year. If it doesn't happen by the end of the year, we may have to postpone it further!"
Xu Bing's smile froze instantly. Doesn't this mean Shen Menglan didn't say anything?
From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, there were so many changes, and if it is delayed for another year, another change will happen. Isn’t this a long time coming?
Besides, at this critical moment, Xu Bing needs to show off his achievements.
This matter seems to be so bad. By the end of the year or the beginning of next year, Chen Jing will have already been beaten to death. Maybe the person in charge of the project has changed. If so, the day lily will be cold. ?
Seeing Xu Bing's appearance, Shen Menglan felt very satisfied.
But her face showed more and more embarrassment, and her unique advantage as a woman came into play again. She picked up the wine glass and toasted to Xu Bing sincerely.
She knew in her heart that these officials wanted to save face, and she really wanted to offend them severely. None of these guys were vegetarians.
A mayor wants to fight to the death with Wan Hai Group. The energy in his hands is enough for Shen Menglan to drink a pot. She cannot take such a risk.
A beautiful woman toasted sincerely, with a look of guilt on her face. No matter how angry Xu Bing was, he couldn't vent the anger.
After finishing a glass of wine, Xu Bing pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Shen, it seems that you are really in trouble with this matter. Okay, I will report this matter to Secretary Chen and let him choose another talented person. I will do it for the time being. This can only go so far.”
Shen Menglan took a deep breath and pretended to be confused: "Mayor Xu, aren't you the leader of the political axe? Do you still need to report this matter to Secretary Chen Jing?"
She coughed and pretended not to understand: "Mayor Xu, you know I am a Hong Konger. I have never understood the mainland system. How come I am the mayor one moment and the secretary of the municipal party committee the next. The scope of political responsibilities Isn’t it just you who makes the final decision on everything here? Does Secretary Chen have to take care of everything?"
Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, his face stiffened.
Shen Menglan's question touched on his sore point. Chen Jing now emphasizes political functions and has never asked Xu Bing to report to him on these tasks.
But the problem is that Xu Bing can't handle it now. Several deputy mayors within the government are eyeing this project!
As the mayor, he has been keeping the project in his hands for a long time with no results. What will others think of him?
He had no choice but to throw the problem at Chen Jing. However, after Shen Menglan said this, Xu Bing seemed to have no status.
Shen Menglan frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Mayor Xu, you and I are friends. Maybe I asked this question inappropriately. Please forgive me. I know there are many rules in officialdom. I...I don't understand. If I said something wrong, so please don’t treat me the same way!"
Xu Bing laughed dryly, shook his head and said: "You are right. In the mainland, the party leads everything. Secretary Chen has high prestige in Jingjiang, and our political work also needs to be reported to him!"
Shen Menglan looked at Xu Bing's embarrassed look and really wanted to find a place where no one was and laugh.
Xu Bing is also like today? Wasn't this big pervert used to be angry and arrogant, and would always use his power to suppress others? How come he has become a good boy in front of this girl today?
The feeling in Shen Menglan's heart was simply indescribable.
She enjoyed it quietly for more than half a minute before she suddenly woke up. She immediately thought of Chen Jing.
She suddenly wondered, could she one day be able to make Chen Jing bow down in front of her? Chen Jing was the most self-righteous, violent and domineering man. If...
As soon as she had this thought, she quickly rejected it in her heart.
Chen Jing is not comparable to Xu Bing. The two of them are not on the same level. I am afraid that I will only be able to live under the pressure of this person for the rest of my life. It will be difficult to compete with this guy.
When she thought about it, all the excitement she had just felt disappeared, and she felt a little dull.
Who is Xu Bing? He is just in the Mainland. If such a person were in Hong Kong, he would not even be able to cross the threshold of the upper class.
What's the point of being able to defeat such a person? It's a pity that I was so excited just now.
Shen Menglan will never forget her identity. She is the daughter of the Shen family. Her father is one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong. When did her vision become so low?
She quickly turned around her thoughts and said: "Mayor Xu, let me make this promise to you today. In Jingjiang, I will only recognize you, Mayor Xu, and I don't care who the secretary is or not. I have the greatest hope for you." Sincerely, this answer I give you today is also my most candid answer.
No matter who comes to talk to me about this matter in the future, I will ignore them, not even your Secretary Chen Jing!"
Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. As soon as Shen Menglan said this, he felt much more comfortable. The anger that had just remained deep in his heart was gone.
He was even a little arrogant, wondering if this woman still had a role for herself.
But this thought flashed through his mind and was quickly eliminated. At this time, if he is still thinking about women, that is the way to death. No matter how impulsive he is, he must suppress it and do whatever he wants. Must not... To be continued.)
