88: Welcoming investors
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yuhan, Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting walked over to the car. Seeing that the two had something to discuss, Wang Zhongyu and the others did not step forward to disturb them.
"Secretary, I truly didn't expect Wu Dexing and the others to have such shameless intentions, trying to steal the fruits of our labor. It's simply unreasonable.
Thankfully, you were prepared early, which left them with no recourse.
Otherwise, even if they couldn't succeed at the Enlarged Standing Committee Meeting, who knows what tricks they might pull in the future!
Seeing the frustrated look on certain people's faces was truly gratifying."
Wei Ting said, looking relieved.
"Town Head, I didn't expect your words to be so sharp. Our Secretary Wu almost spat blood right then and there from anger.
I doubt he'll dare to indulge in such wishful thinking again."
Lin Zifeng said with a smile.
"When it concerns the interests of Heping Town, of course, I will share the same hatred for the enemy as the Secretary.
I was so angry then that I wanted to curse. What he said was truly too insulting."
Wei Ting recalled the scene just now, and a trace of anger reappeared on her face.
Seeing Wei Ting's reaction, Lin Zifeng thought to himself, it seems this person is someone who hates evil like fire!
She's quite compatible with my temperament. I hope we can continue to cooperate happily like this in future work!
Thinking this, he smiled and said, "It's not worth getting angry over people like that.
It's getting late, Town Head, let's head back!
I won't be returning to Heping Town tonight. I'll stay in The County Seat, waiting to welcome the investor at the Expressway Exit tomorrow."
"Understood, Secretary. Then I'll return to the town. I still have some preparatory work to arrange tomorrow morning! We'll keep in touch by phone."
He nodded. The two got into their respective cars, and the two vehicles drove out of the County Committee Compound one after the other, separating at the intersection.
By the time Lin Zifeng returned home, it was almost ten o'clock.
Lin Jiahua and Zhang Chunhua were already accustomed to him coming home at this hour.
He chatted with his parents for more than ten minutes before going to shower and sleep.
The next morning, before eleven o'clock, Lin Zifeng brought a few people to the Expressway Exit, waiting to welcome the arrival of Chen Yuqing and the others.
Jiang Yufei finished a phone call on the side and came over to him.
"Secretary, I contacted Assistant Li Ou. The car they are taking should be exiting the highway in about twenty minutes.
There are three people traveling with CEO Chen in total. Just like us, four people are riding in one car."
He nodded, turned, and looked at Wang Zhongyu, saying, "Zhongyu, call the pre-booked Farmhouse Restaurant. They can start preparing the dishes we ordered in half an hour.
We can't waste too much time on lunch."
Wang Zhongyu acknowledged him and went to make the call.
"Secretary, you are truly stingy. They are preparing to invest fifty million for us! They are definitely a major backer.
And you're taking them to a Farmhouse Restaurant for lunch?
If you ask me, it would be appropriate to treat them at the best hotel in The County Seat, the Junyue Hotel."
Since the two had a good personal relationship and there was no one else around, Yufei spoke quite casually.
"You don't understand this. They aren't people lacking money. What kind of delicacies haven't they already eaten?
It shows more sincerity to treat them with our local specialty food.
Besides, our town has many places that need money! Isn't it better to save unnecessary expenditure and use it where it's more useful?
Whether they decide to invest or not doesn't depend on food and drink anyway.
If they don't want to invest, serving them rare delicacies won't help either.
It's enough to observe the necessary etiquette and show our sincerity and enthusiasm."
Lin Zifeng said with a smile while watching the vehicles passing by on the highway.
The man in front of her lacked the superficiality of his peers. Whatever he said seemed perfectly reasonable, making listeners comfortable and extinguishing any desire to refute him.
He was handsome, and his inner aura was even more charming. She wondered what kind of ideal girl he had in mind?
Was she a cold and stunning beauty like Chen Yuqing, or the gentle and sweet type?
She wondered if he would like someone like her?
Thinking this, a trace of shyness appeared on Yufei's pretty face. She quickly dismissed these thoughts because an Audi Car had already driven out of the Toll Booth.
Lin Zifeng was waving toward the car. The car turned on its hazard lights and pulled over toward them.
The people sitting in the car all saw Lin Zifeng and the others standing by the roadside.
Li Ou, sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and said with a smile, "CEO Chen, Secretary Lin has brought people here to meet us!"
Chen Yuqing revealed a slight smile, while Chen Yuxi's gaze remained fixed on Lin Zifeng.
Seeing the car approach, Lin Zifeng quickly signaled for the driver to follow his car, and then he got into his vehicle with Jiang Yufei.
Li Qiang drove ahead to lead the way, also turning on the hazard lights.
More than ten minutes later, the two cars stopped one after the other in front of a Farmhouse Restaurant.
Everyone got out of the cars. Seeing that Chen Yuxi had also come along, Lin Zifeng's eyes lit up, and his joy was evident.
Suppressing his excited and happy mood, he first walked up to Chen Yuqing.
Shaking hands with her, he sincerely said, "CEO Chen, welcome."
"Secretary Lin, that's thoughtful of you. Thank you!"
Chen Yuqing nodded and replied.
Afterward, after shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with Li Ou, he finally came before Chen Yuxi. Holding her slender, fair, soft little hand, he said "Welcome, welcome" aloud, but secretly winked at her.
Before letting go, he even used his finger to scratch her palm.
Chen Yuxi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave him a charming glare, yet she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
The group entered the Farmhouse Restaurant under the guidance of Jiang Yufei.
Because they had called ahead to notify them, the waiter started serving the dishes shortly after they were seated in the Private Room.
Jiang Yufei looked at Chen Yuxi, who was sitting next to Chen Yuqing, and couldn't help but think that the appearance and temperament of CEO Chen's younger sister were equal to, if not better than, her older sister!
She wondered how The two sisters grew up? Both were breathtaking beauties, like a pair of gorgeous twin lotus flowers.
Having a pair of daughters like this, their parents must be very proud no matter where they go, right?
Just as Jiang Yufei was filled with emotion, Lin Zifeng enthusiastically introduced the dishes to the three guests.
After the introduction, he continued, "Distinguished guests, these farmhouse dishes are all specialties of Yushu County. Please try them and see how they taste."
The group smiled and nodded, then picked up their chopsticks and began eating lunch.
While eating, the group occasionally chatted. Chen Yuqing and the others praised the taste of the farmhouse dishes profusely.
Jiang Yufei secretly glanced at Lin Zifeng, thinking that he had guessed correctly again.
Since they had things to do in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol, and the meal concluded in less than half an hour.
