100: Sincere effort will be rewarded.

"Secretary Lin, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to use the arrival of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to promote the Lu You scenic spot.

If an ordinary township Cadre had such an opportunity, wouldn't they try every possible means to curry favor with the person?

Yet you took a unique approach, which really surprised me. Aren't you afraid that if the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee finds out, he might have a negative opinion of you?"

Chen Yuqing looked at him with sparkling eyes and said.

"No matter how high-ranking a leader is, their fundamental purpose is to serve the people.

If the leader finds out, he will only be pleased. Why would he have a negative opinion of me?

The higher the leader, the greater their vision and breadth of mind. The things you are worried about simply won't happen."

Lin Zifeng said confidently.

"Our Secretary is right, so President Chen doesn't need to worry about that. Tomorrow, besides the on-site recording by the Municipal Television Station, our Propaganda Department will also take plenty of videos and photos at the scene.

President Chen should also arrange for people to do the same. When the time comes, these videos and photos can all become material for our promotional work."

Jiang Yufei said with great confidence.

Chen Yuqing nodded and said: "Don't worry, Committee Member Jiang, we made preparations before we came.

We not only brought cameras but also small video cameras. We won't let such a good opportunity slip by."

After discussing the work, Lin Zifeng and Jiang Yufei stood up, ready to take their leave.

But Chen Yuqing spoke up: "Secretary Lin, we knew each other before I decided to invest here, so we can be considered friends, right?"

"Of course! I have always considered President Chen a friend! Is something wrong?"

Lin Zifeng was stunned and asked in confusion.

"But I feel that ever since I invested, our relationship has actually grown more distant. Apart from discussing official business, it seems like we have nothing to say to each other."

"That's because we are both too busy."

"Oh, then I will take up a little more of Secretary Lin's time. There is a private matter I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you have the time?"

Upon hearing what Chen Yuqing said, Jiang Yufei and Wang Linfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of strangeness in their gazes, while Li Ou's expression remained normal.

"President Chen, you are too polite. You are the God of Wealth for our Heping Town. If you have any instructions, won't I be at your beck and call?

How about this, President Chen? It will be dinner time in a while. You have been to Heping Town twice, and I have never treated you to a meal in a personal capacity.

Today, I will treat you personally. How about we chat while we eat?"

Lin Zifeng's expression remained normal, but he thought to himself, 'What is she trying to do? A woman's mind is truly hard to guess.'

"Alright, then take me to taste some other specialties of Heping Town! I have eaten at that Flavor Restaurant many times, let's change to a different place!"

Chen Yuqing agreed readily.

"Alright, I'll listen to President Chen. Committee Member Jiang, call Town Chief Cao. You and Town Chief Cao can accompany President Wang and Assistant Li to dinner!"

He agreed to Chen Yuqing first, then said to Jiang Yufei.

Jiang Yufei agreed, and the group walked out of the room together and headed downstairs.

Upon arriving downstairs, Jiang Yufei led the two others toward the Flavor Restaurant, while Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuqing walked side by side in the opposite direction.

There is more than one restaurant in Heping Town; it's just that the Flavor Restaurant has the best taste.

Lin Zifeng led Chen Yuqing into another restaurant.

The owner was reconciling accounts at the cash register. Hearing the commotion, he looked up and saw Lin Zifeng walking in with Chen Yuqing. He quickly put down the ledger in his hand and walked out from behind the cash register.

With a face full of smiles, he said: "Secretary, welcome to my humble shop. Is this your girlfriend? She is truly beautiful, just like a fairy. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!

What would you like to eat? Feel free to order; I guarantee you will be satisfied. I am treating you today, and I hope you will give me this opportunity."

Facing the enthusiastic owner, Chen Yuqing's pretty face blushed, and a hint of joy arose in her heart.

Lin Zifeng quickly explained: "Boss Yu, you've misunderstood. She is an Investor who has come here; she is not my girlfriend. Please don't spread rumors.

Also, if you insist on treating us, we will turn around and leave immediately. You must charge us the full price."

The owner smiled naively. Seeing him pretend to leave, he quickly said: "Don't, please don't go. If others find out that you came to my place to eat but left without eating, I won't be able to do business anymore. I'll be cursed to death by the common people of Heping Town.

Can I just listen to you? You two, please sit in the Private Room. Whatever dishes you want to order, just say the word."

Only then did he signal to Chen Yuqing to walk with him toward the Private Room. While walking, he said: "Boss Yu, just make us a few of your signature dishes.

We aren't drinking alcohol, so bring us two large glasses of plain water."

"Alright, it will be ready in a moment. Please wait a while."

The owner agreed and walked toward the kitchen, muttering to himself as he went: "Only this incredibly beautiful young lady is worthy of our Secretary Lin.

What a perfect couple! If they can't be together, then Heaven must be blind."

The two sat in the Private Room. Hearing the owner's muttering, Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, quickly saying: "Don't mind him! This owner has no bad intentions; he just speaks without a filter."

"I can tell that this owner is a straightforward and outspoken person.

What I didn't expect is that you have only been working in Heping Town for such a short time, yet your prestige among the locals is already so high.

The local masses truly support and love you! Otherwise, the owner wouldn't have said that just now, fearing that if you didn't eat, he would be cursed by all the common people in the town."

Chen Yuqing said meaningfully.

"Isn't this due to the support that you Investors have brought me?

Furthermore, the common people of Heping Town are too simple, honest, and kind. Facing such common people, I always feel there is no way to repay them!"

Lin Zifeng said with heartfelt emotion.

"Only by giving sincerely can you receive such returns, which is enough to comfort the heart. This is a two-way street; you don't need to feel any pressure. It should become the motivation for your continuous progress."

Chen Yuqing said with an appreciative look.

"Chatting with President Chen is truly refreshing. You are truly a female CEO who is no less capable than any man."

"Now that it's just the two of us here, can we not be so formal with our titles? It feels a bit strange."

"Then, when there is no one else around, let's address each other by our names!"

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

The two chatted very harmoniously. Lin Zifeng felt that Chen Yuqing, this icy beauty, was showing signs of melting a little.

Because she was smiling more and was no longer so sparing with her words; she was communicating with him very happily.

He could clearly feel that this was not his illusion, but something he genuinely felt.
