93: Suspicious Chen Yuqing

Gao Shengli quickly said with a smile, “Thank you, Secretary Lin, and all the Leaders for your profound friendship. Before we drink, I have something to announce.

Otherwise, if I wait until after drinking, it wouldn't be good if everyone thought I was talking nonsense.”

Everyone looked at Gao Shengli, waiting for him to continue.

Gao Shengli continued, “Although I have only been in Heping Town for half a day, I am very satisfied with the results of the inspection.

We can sign the investment contract tomorrow morning.

I value efficiency. After signing the contract with Heping Town tomorrow, I will return to the Provincial Capital. Immediately after the contract is signed, I will instruct my company's finance department to transfer the first installment of the investment to your town's account.

The next time I bring people over, it will be time to break ground.”

Hearing Gao Shengli's decision, everyone showed wild joy. They hadn't expected Gao Shengli to decide to sign the contract and invest so quickly and decisively.

This is efficiency beyond the ordinary.

Lin Zifeng quickly spoke again, “General Manager Gao is truly decisive! We, representing the Town Committee, the Town Government, and the over thirty thousand people of the entire town, sincerely thank General Manager Gao.

You definitely won't regret the decision you made today.

Come, let's toast General Manager Gao together.”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank with Gao Shengli.

The next morning, after more than an hour of consultation, two mutually satisfactory contracts were freshly drawn up.

Under Lin Zifeng's arrangement, Wei Ting did not accompany Chen Yuqing and the others on the inspection but stayed in the town with him.

As the legal representative of Heping Town, Wei Ting signed the contract alongside Gao Shengli.

After signing the contract, Gao Shengli shook hands with Lin Zifeng and the others, wished them happy cooperation, and then departed.

Lin Zifeng led the group and saw them off outside the main gate. Only after watching the sedan drive further and further away did everyone turn their attention back.

“Secretary, you should have been the one to sign as the town's representative. All this investment was brought back by you and your team.

I didn't contribute much, yet you insisted on having me sign on behalf of the town. I feel a bit undeserving!”

Wei Ting said, standing beside him with a look of gratitude.

“Town Chief, you mustn't say that. Every member of our leadership team plays their part; we can't attribute all the credit to me alone.

As the Town Chief, you are the town's legal representative. It is only right that you sign contracts with investors.

In the future, all contracts reached must be signed by you, the Town Chief. We cannot break the rules like some individual townships.

You stay in town and handle some routine work!

It's still early. I'm going to Shihu Village to accompany General Manager Chen and the others on their inspection.

I already contacted Committee Member Jiang. I'll just pack up lunch and deliver it there. I won't be coming back to town for lunch.”

After saying this, he walked toward his car.

Watching his retreating figure as he got into the car, Wei Ting felt touched and couldn't help but think that she had met a great partner and a great Leader!

Not only was he not greedy for credit, but he also considered the overall situation. Since he could achieve this level, she must also reciprocate his kindness in the future.

Thinking this, Wei Ting displayed a brilliant smile and turned to walk toward the office building.

Li Qiang parked the car in front of the flavor restaurant. He got out with Wang Zhongyu, and ten minutes later, after loading the packed lunch boxes and two cases of mineral water into the trunk, they got back in the car and set off again.

Just then, Jiang Yufei called him.

“Secretary, when will you arrive at Shihu Village? We have already departed from Dayushu Village and will reach Shihu Village in about ten minutes.”

“It will take us more than half an hour to get to Shihu Village.

Isn't General Manager Chen planning to climb the mountain? You should wait for us at the foot of the mountain and take a short rest. It won't be too late to climb after we arrive and finish lunch.”

Hearing his suggestion, Jiang Yufei agreed and hung up the phone.

More than half an hour later, Li Qiang drove the car to the foot of Shihu Village mountain. After Lin Zifeng got out, he approached Chen Yuqing and the others.

“General Manager Chen, since you insisted on not returning to town to eat, I'm afraid you and everyone else will have to settle for eating boxed lunches with us.”

“Secretary Lin, that's unfair to say. If you all can eat boxed lunches, why can't we?

Don't underestimate us. We are not delicate young ladies who have never done manual labor.”

“When Assistant Li first started this business with me, she was often too busy even to eat a boxed lunch.

My younger sister has practiced combat sports with me since childhood. She never cries out in pain, whether injured or tired.”

Chen Yuqing spoke much more than usual when facing Lin Zifeng.

Li Ou glanced at Chen Yuqing in surprise, offered a slight smile, and remained silent.

Chen Yuxi looked at him with a playful look, meaning, 'You better behave yourself. This young lady has the ability to deal with you.'

“Haha, appearances can certainly be deceiving! I also practiced Eight Extremities Fist since childhood. We should spar sometime if we get the chance.”

Lin Zifeng said, laughing heartily.

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Chen Yuxi, implying, 'If you want to deal with me, you won't be able to if I don't want you to.'

At this moment, Wang Zhongyu and Li Qiang had already brought over the boxed lunches and water.

Lin Zifeng spoke again, “General Manager Chen, it's almost eleven o'clock. Let's eat lunch together!”

Chen Yuqing agreed, and everyone gathered around and started eating the boxed lunches right there.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zifeng took a bottle of mineral water, loosened the cap, and handed it to Chen Yuxi.

Chen Yuxi accepted the mineral water with a sweet smile.

Seeing Chen Yuqing look over in surprise, he quickly picked up and opened another bottle of mineral water, handing it to Chen Yuqing.

Chen Yuqing said thank you, her eyes filled with suspicion.

She couldn't help but wonder, why did Yuxi's gaze toward Lin Zifeng seem different than before?

Was it just her imagination?

While she was deep in thought, Lin Zifeng spoke, “General Manager Chen, Shihu Village got its name because there is a giant rock on this mountain shaped like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

Around this peak, there are also some strangely shaped, naturally formed boulders that are highly scenic.

However, because the mountain path is rugged and difficult to traverse, only nearby villagers go up to admire it during the slack farming season.

If we repair the mountain road and build a sightseeing cable car from the peak down to the foot of the mountain, it will definitely attract many tourists.”

Chen Yuqing collected her thoughts, nodded, and said, “I have looked at the photos and video materials you provided, and they are indeed as you described.

However, I must see it in person. Only then can I make the most accurate judgment.

This isn't because I don't trust you; it's just my consistent work style.”

“I greatly appreciate General Manager Chen's responsible attitude toward work. Let's set off after lunch!”

Chen Yuqing smiled and nodded.
