"Mr. Luo, thank you for your kindness, but I just got divorced a few months ago, and I really don't have the time to deal with a partner now. I'm sorry for living up to your kindness!"
Comrade Xu still declined politely.
Even if this made Deputy Secretary Huang, who was behind Xi Zhilan, feel uncomfortable, had a bad impression of Comrade Xu, and was detrimental to his career development, he did not want to change his decision.
Besides, Deputy Secretary Huang is still a deputy secretary after all. Even if he is the deputy secretary of a province, it is still difficult for him to exert too much pressure on Xu.
You know, since he became the richest man in the province, which senior official in the province has he not seen?
There are also a few high-ranking officials in the province who have formed friendships.
Therefore, it is not so easy to touch him easily.
…
However, on the way back in the car, this incident gave Xu Tongdao the idea of expanding his business to other provinces.
Operating in this province is like putting all your eggs in the same basket. It is not safe. If Deputy Secretary Huang really targets him in the future, it will definitely affect his business and many procedures that could have been completed.
, it may become very laborious.
But if part of the business is expanded to other provinces, the situation will be different.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, just because you are within the jurisdiction of the other party. If half or even more of his business is in different provinces, it will be difficult for the senior officials of a certain province to control him.
At that time, the initiative will be in his hands, Xu.
On the contrary, officials who want political achievements came to win over Comrade Xu. It is not easy to achieve both sides, but if you can really achieve both ends, it will definitely be very satisfying.
Tongdao Xu was thinking about where to move his business when his cell phone suddenly rang.
There are new messages coming in.
He took out his cell phone and saw a text message from Xi Zhilan.
——"Mr. Xu, I'm glad to meet you today. It's a pleasure chatting with you. I hope we have another chance to meet."
Luo Yong hasn't conveyed my intention to her yet?
Tongdao Xu frowned slightly, and then he was relieved - yes! I had just said goodbye to Luo Yong, and at this time Luo Yong might not have figured out how to convey my thoughts to Xi Zhilan.
Judging from the meaning of this text message, Xi Zhilan seems to be interested in me?
It's a pity, if I met her before getting married, maybe I would really consider being with her.
But now...
Comrade Xu pondered for a moment and gave her a polite reply: "There will be a chance."
After a while, Xi Zhilan replied: "Then I will wait for the next time we meet."
Xu Tongdao: "Okay."
She didn't send another text message. Xu Tongdao played with his phone and sighed inwardly.
He had a hunch that as long as he remained unmarried, he would probably continue to be arranged for similar blind dates.
If this continues, he will only offend more and more people.
This is probably the price you have to pay for staying single.
…
This evening.
After dinner, when he and his brother Xu Tonglu were drinking tea and chatting about work in the yard, Xu Tongdao told Xu Tonglu his decision.
"Xiaolu, our business needs to go global and we cannot continue to operate in this province. Next, you can arrange for Ximen Real Estate to go to neighboring provinces to acquire a few pieces of land. Later, you can also arrange for other subsidiaries to develop the market in neighboring provinces."
Xu Tonglu frowned, "Brother, our funds are limited. Originally, we didn't have enough funds to expand the market in our province. At this time, exploring the market in neighboring provinces will affect our layout in the province."
Comrade Xu shook his head, "I know, but we have to go out sooner or later. We can't create a prison for ourselves. This is not good for our long-term development."
Xu Tonglu looked confused, "Brother, the group development plan you made before was not like this. Why did it suddenly change? Did something happen recently?"
Comrade Xu smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly felt that eggs cannot be put in one basket. This is too restrictive. Now is the era of economic leadership. All parts of the country must rely on investment to develop their political achievements. This is what we are going to do.
It’s a good opportunity. We can’t do it now with multinational companies, but we should be able to try it across provinces.”
"this……"
Xu Tonglu was confused and helpless.
But he couldn't fight against his eldest brother's decision. He was just working for his eldest brother, Tongdao Xu. Since his eldest brother had decided, he could only implement it.
…
at the same time.
At Deputy Secretary Huang's house, Deputy Secretary Huang's lover, Director Zhang, put down his cell phone, frowning and looking unhappy.
"What's wrong? Auntie?"
Xi Zhilan, who was sitting next to her, asked curiously.
She had just returned to China, and today she had a blind date with Xu Tongdao under the arrangement of her aunt. After the blind date, she was invited to her home by her aunt.
According to her aunt, Director Zhang, she wanted to stay at home for a few days.
Just now, they were watching TV, chatting, and eating melon seeds.
At this time she is still kowtow!
Director Zhang looked at her with a frown, and suddenly cursed angrily: "That boy named Xu really doesn't know how to appreciate someone! We don't even dislike him for being married for the second time, but he actually got married! It's really unreasonable!"
When Xi Zhilan heard this, the smile on her face froze, and she stopped holding the melon seeds to her mouth, "Auntie, what do you mean? That Comrade Xu, Mr. Xu, doesn't like me?"
She was surprised.
She had already heard about Tongdao Xu's situation. Although he was the richest man in the province, he was married and his son and daughter followed him after the divorce.
She didn't dislike this situation of being divorced and raising a baby, but he disliked her instead?
This made her feel incredible.
Her family background, education, appearance, temperament... which one is not top-notch? From childhood to adulthood, from home to abroad, how many people have chased her over the years?
This was the first time she was rejected.
Originally, when she heard that her aunt was going to introduce her to a rich man who was divorced and had a baby, she was quite resistant. It was her aunt and mother who repeatedly did her ideological work before she reluctantly convinced herself to meet with Comrade Xu.
When she met Xu Tongdao in person today, she felt that aside from his status as a divorced mother with a child, his appearance and conversation basically met her criteria for choosing a mate.
So I convinced myself in my heart: Forget it! It’s just him! Stop picking and let yourself settle down!
She finally convinced herself and even took the initiative to send a text message to give a clear signal. But the result? He didn't even like me?
She was so angry that her chest rose and fell a lot.
Director Zhang sighed, reached out and patted Xi Zhilan on the back, and sighed: "It's not that I don't like you, Lan Lan, just now Mr. Luo told me on the phone - that guy just got divorced a few months ago.
I'm still healing myself now! I don't want to talk about relationships for the time being, so, Lan Lan, don't take it to heart, don't make yourself angry! It's really not your fault, it's that kid's problem! Do you understand what I mean?
