Comrade Xu went into the bathroom and took a shower again. He put on his bathrobe and sat at the rattan table by the window, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and laughed at himself.
Whispering to himself: "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise; those who conquer others are powerful, and those who conquer themselves are strong; those who are content are rich, those who are strong are ambitious; those who do not lose their place will live long, and those who die without dying will live long..."
This is a passage from the Tao Te Ching he bought last year.
When he saw it, he liked it very much. After reading it, he remembered it carefully.
As he read it softly at this time, what he was really savoring was actually the first sentence - he who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise.
After being reborn, he felt that he "knows people".
His experience before his rebirth allowed him to see through the true thoughts behind many people's words and expressions after his rebirth.
Grasping people's hearts is one of his specialties after his rebirth.
but……
It wasn't until today, or rather tonight, that he finally felt like he knew himself.
He could finally see himself clearly.
Especially when it comes to women...reinforcement?
Obviously he can't do it.
Even though I really like Wei Chunlan in my heart, but...
Just like tonight, when faced with Xia Yun, a beautiful woman who took the initiative to undress and sit in his arms, he couldn't hold it back.
He didn't want to find any more reasons or excuses.
He had given up hope in his determination in this area.
At this time, the self-blame and guilt in his heart were actually not much.
Just a little helpless and a little self-deprecating.
Looking up at the night outside the window, he asked himself that if something similar happened next time, he might still be unable to control it.
so……
Either kill yourself or let yourself go.
Killing yourself is of course impossible.
Therefore, you can only let yourself go!
Make peace with yourself.
If you can't be the person you want to be, you can only accept yourself as you are.
…
The next morning.
Tongdao Xu and others went to the agreed place as promised and discussed again with the leaders of Biyun District about the purchase of the wasteland next to the Sancha River Bridge.
One night passed.
Not only did Xu Tongdao not feel depressed because of self-blame, but he looked radiant and energetic.
During the meeting, he saw Xia Yun in the conference room.
Xia Yun also saw him.
In comparison, Xia Yun looked much more haggard, with deep dark circles under her eyes, which seemed to tell everyone that she didn't get a good rest last night.
Xu Tongdao subconsciously glanced at her a few more times.
I found that even though she had deep dark circles under her eyes, she was still the most beautiful woman inside and outside the conference room today.
Her appearance is not inferior to Zeng Xueyi's, but her figure is even better than Zeng Xueyi's.
Today's consultation meeting was held fairly smoothly.
It's just that the meeting was a bit long.
After more than two hours of negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
The wasteland next to the Sancha River Bridge, starting from the edge of the road and covering a total area of 24,880 square meters, has been completely transferred to Ximen Real Estate Development Company.
The total transfer amount is 15 million.
The two parties agreed that Ximen Real Estate Development Company must formally develop the piece of wasteland within three years. Otherwise, Party A has the right to take back the development rights of the piece of land without compensation.
In addition, Party A promised to mobilize all the tombs on the wasteland and move them away within three months.
Within 7 days from the date of signing of the contract, Party B (Ximen Real Estate Development Company) shall pay the first land transfer fee of 5 million to Party A.
Three months later, after all the tombs on the wasteland have been moved, Party B will pay Party A the second land transfer fee of 10 million.
There are many other detailed terms.
But the main ones are the above.
Jin Yunfei is mainly responsible for negotiating the terms with Party A. Comrade Xu does not need to speak most of the time.
When the signing was officially signed in the afternoon, he formally walked up to the signing table and signed the formal agreement.
The land transfer fee for this piece of land was paid in two installments, which he had specifically asked Jin Yunfei to pay before.
Regardless of whether the land purchased this time is the wasteland at Sancha River Bridge in Biyun District, the funds he paid must be divided into at least two installments.
no way.
Who told him that the funds he currently has at his disposal are not sufficient!
If it is divided into two phases, it will be no problem at all.
There is a three-month buffer period. With the profitability of the branches under his name, it is not difficult to earn 10 million.
During this three-month buffer period, he can calmly look for partners, attract people to invest in the land, and jointly develop the land.
…
After the agreement was officially signed, there was naturally a celebration dinner that evening.
At the dinner, Luo Jinyun, the mayor of Biyun District, brought his secretary, Dai Chengyi, director of the district committee office, and others to congratulate him, and spoke enthusiastically to Xu Tongdao and others for a long time.
He also stated that the district committee strongly supports Ximen Real Estate Development Company’s investment and development in Biyun District.
The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious.
Comrade Xu occasionally caught a glimpse of Xia Yun at another table.
Seeing that her brows were always slightly furrowed and her mood was not very beautiful, I suddenly thought and decided to say a few kind words to her.
After all, she paid a lot last night.
"District Chief Luo, District Chief Hou, Director Dai, I'll excuse you for a moment. I want to thank Director Xia. She really contributed a lot to our successful cooperation this time. I have to give her a toast!"
Comrade Xu said this.
Luo Jinyun and others subconsciously followed his gaze to look at Xia Yun at the other table.
Luo Jinyun and Dai Chengyi looked puzzled.
Of course they don't know Xia Yun.
But the deputy district mayor showed a smile and nodded in praise: "Okay, okay! Yes, Director Xia has really worked hard these days. Mr. Xu, I will go with you, and I will also toast her and thank her for her efforts."
contribute."
Luo Jinyun and Dai Chengyi looked at each other and followed them with a smile.
As soon as these people moved, the attention of everyone in the banquet hall was attracted.
By the time Xia Yun noticed all the eyes around her looking at her, Tongdao Xu and others had already arrived in front of her.
Comrade Xu raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, you have worked hard these days. I admire your enthusiasm and drive for your work. If it weren't for your perseverance and hard work these days, our cooperation might not be so smooth.
Well, here, on behalf of our Ximen Group, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, and I’d like to toast you!”
With that said, Comrade Xu drank the wine in his glass.
There was applause and cheers from all around.
Xia Yun looked at him blankly.
This is in line with the old saying: the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Comrade Xu said seriously, "I admire your enthusiasm and drive for work." When Xia Yun heard it, she seriously suspected that he was deliberately irritating her.
At that time, her pink face felt slightly warm.
Before she could react, Deputy District Chief Hou followed up with a toast and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, you completed the task I gave you this time very well. I am very pleased. The organization will record your credit for you."
, I won’t say much else here. I’d also like to toast you! I hope you won’t be arrogant or impetuous in your future work and keep up the good work!”
As he spoke, Deputy District Chief Hou raised his neck and drank the entire glass of wine.
There was another round of applause and cheers from all around.
Xia Yun subconsciously stood up and looked around blankly. She saw smiling faces one after another, and also saw the eyes of many people looking at her, showing obvious envy and jealousy.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that Xu Tongdao was not here to ridicule her, but to show his support for her and show his merit.
