008. The three men who are not simple
Jetta drove straight into the parking lot outside a particularly grand eight-story building, and the huge golden signboard of the "Vatti Hotel" can be seen from a distance. This is the largest hotel in Lingyang City at present. In addition to high-standard food and accommodation, it is said that there are many high-end special service projects.
Chen Guobin came here once and knew a little about the situation inside. With his experience before his rebirth, such things are nothing, so it is not surprising.
When they got off the car, a suspected foreman in neat uniforms immediately trotted and enthusiastically guided Chen Guobin and the other two to the hotel gate. It could be seen that someone had given him instructions. The young man who was driving was very sensible and did not follow him.
Lin Shilan seemed a little embarrassed for a moment. She didn't know she was here today. She had heard Qu Aobai say something indignantly, but that's it.
"Secretary Chen, why are we here?" Lin Shilan stretched out her arm and rubbed him gently, frowned and whispered.
Chen Guobin smiled relaxedly: "It's okay, we're just having a meal."
Hearing his tone, Lin Shilan quickly calmed down and nodded and said nodded.
After entering the lobby, the three of them took the elevator again and were finally led to a very high-end private room on the fourth floor. Seeing the domineering name on the door, it seemed to be a top private room.
After the door opened, I saw that it was very spacious inside. A 29-inch large color TV was playing Jackie Chan's classic action movie, which made people in the house laugh from time to time. There was a large eight-immortal table with good texture in the center of the private room. At this time, there were two men and two women sitting around, both over 30 years old. Except for the more elegant woman in black, the woman in black should be a little younger.
"Old Li, why did you come?" A middle-aged man with a shorter, dark skin, but bright eyes quickly glanced at the three of them and smiled generously: "I'll get two more glasses later! Please sit down." He waved his hand enthusiastically.
"What the hell is it?" Li Pihe shook his eyebrows, his tone was a bit vulgar, and he walked by and sat down, "We are government officials, so we are not as good as you!"
Chen Guobin pointed at everyone, sat down on one side of Li Pihe, while Lin Shilan sat on one side of Chen Guobin, and the other side was next to the woman in black next to a short black man.
"What are these two?" The short black man smiled and stared at the two young men, Chen Guobin and Lin Shilan, but asked Li Pi.
"Let me introduce it..." Li Pihe showed the three of them the identities of higher intellectuals without missing a trace, and did not say much.
Afterwards, Li Pihe briefly introduced to Chen Guobin to two other middle-aged men present. Among them, the short black man was Wei Kunlin, the boss of the famous Hongda Road and Bridge Group in Lingyang, which surprised Chen Guobin. Another man who looked a little introverted was Jiang Yufan, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China. He was not astonishing, but not simple.
Then, Wei Kunlin and Jiang Yufan briefly introduced the women around them in turn.
Among them, the woman in black who was well-manned by Wei Kunlin was the vice president of Hongda Road and Bridge Group, named Chen Yan. When Wei Kunlin introduced, she seemed to casually explain that she was a master's graduate from a prestigious university. Like Chen Guobin and the other two here, she also had a major in transportation.
The middle-aged woman who was a little shy and pretty, sitting next to Jiang Yufan was Liu Xiaofang, the president of Xiangyin Branch of the Municipal Agricultural Bank. According to Jiang Yufan, this time we were together was just a coincidence, and we took the opportunity to let her meet the influential Xiangyin fellow villager.
Chen Guobin naturally realized that Li Pihe, Wei Kunlin and Jiang Yufan had a close relationship, and they were both typical Xiangyin people. In fact, they had a little Xiangyin accent while speaking.
When Li Pihe's eyes swept over Liu Xiaofang, they were a little playful. They flashed by and then cast a meaningful look at Jiang Yufan, who was serious on his face, and then returned to normal.
Each greets each other one by one.
"Secretary Chen, I didn't expect that we are still our own family." Chen Yan smiled on her face, and she looked at Chen Guobin, who was neither humble nor arrogant and Lin Shilan, and sincerely sighed: "By the way, Xiaolin is your girlfriend, right? She is so young and beautiful!"
Lin Shilan was embarrassed and shook her head quickly: "No! Sister Chen, look at what you said, our Section Chief Chen has been married long ago."
Chen Yan said in surprise and said with a smile: "I can't tell it? Section Chief Chen is young and has a talented personality. His lover must be an ordinary person."
"Mr. Chen has been awarded." Chen Guobin smiled slightly, "Kolin and I were called by Director Li to have a free meal today. I didn't expect the dinner to be so high, and I am very honored."
Li Pi coughed at the right time, helped to skip the awkward atmosphere, and glared at Wei Kunlin again: "You told us not to come and eat the air, right?"
"Oh?" Wei Kunlin smiled apologetically, immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie placed on the table, turned a button, and said concisely: "Select the dishes!" Then he put it down and joked casually with Li Pi.
Not long after, the private room door was opened again, and a team of more than a dozen people walked into the outside, with slender and beautiful waiters. Each of them held a plate in their hands, containing steaming, fragrant and pleasant dishes, or Maotai.
Their movements were so skillful that they quickly set up a banquet, and they filled up a cup for everyone present. Then they bowed respectfully, said politely, "Please use it slowly" and left in unison.
Wei Kunlin took the lead in raising his glass and smiled confidently: "Today we are gathering together for a meal. This is a kind of fate. Just talk casually and relax. Come on, have a drink first!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them. The three old men in Xiangyin immediately drank the two-liang glass of wine. Chen Guobin only took a small sip, and Chen Yan and Liu Xiaofang were the same. Lin Shilan accidentally drank all the food, and her forehead immediately wrinkled Lao Gao, looked uncomfortable, and was choked and coughed several times.
Chen Guobin frowned immediately, reached out and patted her back twice, and whispered: "Why are you doing so urgently? Girls should be more polite!"
Lin Shilan pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "It's okay! I was just accidentally choked just now."
Everyone laughed without saying a word, with a slight slight slight playful gaze.
"Okay, be careful next time!" Chen Guobin glared seriously and explained. Lin Shilan nodded happily, and Chen Yan next to her thoughtfully handed a tissue, asking her to wipe her mouth.
After three rounds of drinking, the conversation became stronger.
At this time, the faces of the three other men including Li Pihe and the Yin Yin were a little rosy. They spoke a lot louder, and the topic became less and less slight. Even Jiang Yufan, who was more introverted, also had a lot of words. However, they were just talking in general and didn't say anything specific.
Chen Yan and Liu Xiaofang also had a good alcohol tolerance. After they met many times, they talked more, and Liu Xiaofang's shyness naturally disappeared a lot.
Chen Guobin occasionally said that for occasions like this, there is no need to show off at will, not to mention that he is not very interested now. He just drank slowly at his own pace, and Lin Shilan in front of him was much slower after drinking the first cup in one breath, but her face was already very red.
"Kobayashi, that's all I've drunk." Chen Guobin took off the cup in front of her in time and "eat more food."
Lin Shilan responded with a smile, and couldn't even grasp the chopsticks very steadily. She shakingly picked up a chicken leg, grabbed it with her hands, and started to chew it in a less elegant way.
Chen Guobin shook his head and sighed.
"...In fact, for Xiangyin, the most beneficial thing is to build a highway to the provincial capital." When talking about the construction of the second-level road in Xiangyin, Li Pihe said this with emotion.
Wei Kunlin immediately became interested: "Old Li, you really dare to think about it. There is no real expressway in the province now."
"Tsk!" Li Pihe glared at him disdainfully, "Only your eyes are worthy of staying in this palm-sized place and waiting to die. You must know that in the near future, highways will definitely become the mainstream of highway transportation construction in my country, and economic take-off will definitely be accompanied by the booming development of the automobile industry, which will greatly stimulate the development of highways. Looking at the developed countries in the world, this is the case."
Wei Kunlin looked humble and sighed: "It's just that the construction cost of expressways is too high. One kilometer of expressways can be built with six or seven kilometers of secondary roads. And there are not many cars running on the road now, and the secondary roads can meet the needs for the time being. How could the government departments be willing to build the expressway? Damn, if the government is willing to build it, that would be great."
Li Pihe took a sip and sighed: "When you need it, it will be a bottleneck. The road construction industry requires great forward-lookingness."
"Yes." Chen Guobin, who often agrees with Li Pi, took it at the right time and said easily: "In our country, due to the deep-rooted bureaucratic style, changes in ideas are usually from the bottom up. This is how road construction should be done. We should give full play to more subjective initiative and do it first. For example, there is no expressway in our province yet. If we build this first expressway, the advertising benefits alone will be very considerable. In this regard, the construction of highways will definitely not suffer any losses. In fact, Xiangyin's location advantage is very poor.
Wrong, less than 70 kilometers away from the provincial capital, the economic foundation is also possible. As long as you are determined and cooperate with multiple parties, you can build a highway. If you make a breakthrough in the investment attraction policy, enterprises that are not suitable for development in the provincial capital will easily be attracted to the scent and produce a series of valuable butterfly effects, and finally roll into a big snowball. To put it more exaggeratedly, among the potential counties and cities near the provincial capital, whoever builds the first expressway first will be able to seize the commanding heights of economic development."
Chen Guobin had long had a deep understanding of this statement. He proposed at this time that it was because the atmosphere was just right, and he wanted to make a breakthrough, hoping to help his father who was working in Xiangyin. For example, the boss of Hongda Road and Bridge Group and the president of the Municipal Agricultural Bank of China are both potential heavyweights who have great value for road construction. It is better to meet by chance than to meet, and you have to show it when you need to show it.
Wei Kunlin's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly: "Secretary Chen has a lot of ideas! It seems that intellectuals are intellectuals, and they are really different." There is a lot of appreciation in his eyes.
"Mr. Wei has been too awarded." Chen Guobin smiled faintly, "I'm just talking about it on paper."
"What we lack now is talk about on paper." Li Pihe took it with some anger: "If our government departments have more talents like Xiao Chen, then the horsepower will be much more."
