Chapter 473
In the evening, when Li Chao sent his father and Yu Niang home, he told them about the negotiations between Wen Jiabei and him. Shangguan Zhongxuan pondered for a while and said, "Last time, when you talked about Xiaoliu's friend who was engaged in the development and design of scenic spots, you can first let them go to the scenic spot, evaluate it, and have more contact with Wen's side. Since they took the initiative to come to you, it means they are sincere." Zhongxuan also asked his son to calm down and do the projects in his hands down, and do not take on new projects for the time being, in case of greed and chewing too much, and hasteness will not be achieved.
Li Chao thought that his father was very pertinent. The projects he had made him feel very laborious. Even if Liu Ruosi was capable, she was still a woman after all, and she didn't have three heads and six arms. Her energy was limited. Besides, she was nominally a member of the Hong Group. If the lady Lingling had a temper again one day, she would have to transfer her away. Li Chao thought to herself, I had no choice. Well, this is a big problem. If you want to think of some solutions and prepare for the future.
When he was at work on Monday, Li Chao told Bokuan about the general content of his negotiations with Wen Jiabei.
Bokuan was dissatisfied with it. He said, "If a woman like Wen Jiabei was not forced to be furious, she would not have been shameless to find us. Judging from the current situation, Zheng Jun and the others must have given Wen's eye drops, but this matter is not worthy of the President Wen's personal appearance. There must be other more important hidden information. Behind this matter, Xiao Fei, Zeyu and the official brothers hold on to the scene. It is unlikely that Zhou Boxian would dare not make a grudge with the yamen and turn against each other for this matter. When Wen and Zheng Jun and others are having a big fight, we will come forward to stop the net and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Hey, third brother, I just asked you to come forward to perfunctory Wen Jiabei, but now you help her arrange this matter. Haha, a little strange! That woman is not an ordinary person. You won't be fascinated by her beauty, so she will go around, right?"
Li Chao thought he saw through his thoughts, and his expression was a little disgusting. He quickly picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea to cover up his panic. He cursed in his heart: "Damn, your eyes are so vicious. You know everything. Why don't you be a prophet? Being a group president is so wronged." He thought again: "Damn, what I did is bright and open, and I am worthy of the heavens and Rou'er, so I am not as despicable as you think. You are not clean, but you think others are the same as you, and they are all birds of a feather, and they are too underestimated! And I think Sister Bei is not the kind of slut in your mouth. It's not easy for others. Every family has a difficult sutra.
Why bother to make things difficult for others? I'm afraid that you are coveting their beauty and are thinking about it all day long." After pondering for a while, he said carefully: "Chairman, since you say that Wen Jiabei is an idiot, then don't underestimate them too much. Even if they have any difficulties that they can't say and are forced to do so, they will find other people to cooperate. We are not the only choice for others. Since their president came to the door in person and observed their words and actions, I can see that they are still very sincere. I think this is a rare opportunity. We should never miss it. So I think it's a good thing to talk to her more."
When they arrived at the mine, they knew that Li Chao and the others were coming, and Zheng Jun was already waiting for them at the gold mine.
The group walked around the mining area and looked around and felt satisfied.
It was almost evening when we arrived at the state government guesthouse. Zheng Jun and Rimai Mouxi held a grand dinner to entertain Shangguan brothers and Ruosi and his group of guests. The secretary and the governor were both very enthusiastic, and the bureau-level cadres at the provincial and local governments basically attended the welcome banquet, which showed their importance and love for Shangguan brothers.
Except for Li Chao, the others drank a lot of wine, and Bokuan was almost drunk.
Li Chao received special care from Rimai Mouxi. He drank the juice and watched the battle easily and comfortably. He watched everyone cheering and drinking, and all kinds of things came out, but he didn't have to suffer the pain of drunkenness, so he felt a sense of comfort and calmness that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
Moreover, Li Chao also found that Wen Yuanyuan's alcohol tolerance was not bad. At this time, she drank a lot of blush, adding a bit of feminine charm and tenderness. Moreover, her thinking was still quick, her tongue was still active, and her words became more and more funny.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Zheng Jun and Rimai Mouxi personally accompanied Shangguan brothers and Ruosi to the Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area. There was white snow everywhere along the way, but there was very little snow in the Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area. Zheng Jun explained that because of the rich geothermal resources, the snow in the scenic area had melted.
The wind and moon of Zixia Waterfall, the beautiful scenery of water and wood, and the beautiful scenery of thousands of rocks, Bokuan and his group were refreshed and happy to see it. Wen Yuanyuan couldn't help but be amazed along the way, constantly making sincere praises.
When we arrived at the hot spring area, people who were already tired were sitting in the snow and ice, putting their feet into the steaming hot spring pool. The comfortable and comfortable feeling was really something that could only be understood, not expressed in words.
Hakuan looked around and said to Kasaka, Ruosi that the hot springs here are widely distributed, which are larger and better than the Izu Hot Springs spa resort in Hokkaido, Japan.
Wen Yuanyuan has visited more hot springs and recuperation sites. She said that this place is not worse than Kobe Arima Hot Spring in Japan, Kagu Hot Spring in South Korea, and Grand Prism Hot Spring in the United States.
Li Chao and Ruo Si have also visited hot springs in many countries. They looked at each other and tacitly understood. They also talked about it several times in front of Bokuan.
Li Chao also cooked a lot of eggs and salted duck eggs in the high-temperature hot spring pool like his master's wife Pang Min last time, and distributed them to everyone. Wen Yuanyuan said that the salted duck eggs cooked in this way are very fragrant and have a unique flavor, which is unforgettable.
On the way back, Li Chao, who had not lost his childlike heart, suddenly had a whim and started a prank. When Ruosi walked over with Yuanyuan, the boy suddenly kicked the trunk of the pine tree beside him. The snow on the branch rolled down like an avalanche. Ruosi was so scared that he screamed, but Yuanyuan reacted quickly and pulled Ruosi to the side.
Bokuan and Rimai Mouxi, who were walking behind the two beauties, were chatting with each other, but they were not prepared at all. They were smashed to death, covered in white snow, Bokuan's sunglasses were covered with snow, and they could not see anything. There was even thick snow on their heads, and they looked very embarrassed.
Seeing that he had caused trouble, Li Chao hurriedly apologized to them.
Rimai Mu shook his head off the west side, and the snow on his body laughed and said, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. If you are stained with auspicious snow, you will be lucky in the coming year. Good omen, good omen. Chairman Shangguan, do you think so?"
Bokuan took off his sunglasses, glared at Lichao fiercely, turned his head to Rimai Mouxi and smiled: "Secretary, you said it well, good luck is a good sign!"
Li Chao was attacking Ruosi, Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and made a face. The three of them secretly laughed.
After leaving Zixia Waterfall, everyone drove to Xiangshuiquan Primary School again. The children had just finished class and saw that Li Chao was coming, they all gathered around excitedly and chattered about their long and short questions. Some children asked whether Riwo was a good person, and more children asked why the sister hadn't come?
Li Chao said, "Sister is going to school just like you." Then he opened the trunk of the car and asked the dolls to get the stationery and books that Qingrou asked him to bring, as well as a lot of candies, beef jerky and other snacks. The dolls flocked again and shouted to go to the trunk to move things.
Xiangyue and Junhui came over to greet everyone enthusiastically.
Seeing that Li Chao was more popular with the children than the secretary and the governor, Yuanyuan asked Ruosi curiously: "Did Li Chao donate this school? The children like her so much. It's like seeing her idol."
Ruosi shook her head and said, "No." Then she told Yuanyuan about Li Chao and his girlfriend's help and care for the children. She also told her about the donations from Riwobuji and the old chairman Uncle Shangguan.
Wen Yuanyuan sincerely praised him, "Haha, the tiger father has no dog son! Although you are a child of a wealthy family, you are still quite kind in your heart.
Ruosi looked at Li Chao who was in harmony with the dolls and said with full respect: "He is not only a good-looking person, but also a broad-minded person, not holding grudges, can tolerate others, and is also very capable. He is also funny, humorous, and generous..." Suddenly, he saw Wen Yuanyuan staring at him with big eyes and looking suspiciously, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, and asked guiltily: "Why are you watching someone like this? It's so cunning."
Yuanyuan stared at Ruosi without a smile and asked, "Liu'er, honestly, is there someone in her heart?"
Ruosi's face turned red immediately when she heard this and said angrily: "What are you talking about? People have a girlfriend and are very loving. His fiancée is also my boss in Hong's family. Besides, he is younger than me and is not my food at all."
Yuanyuan didn't believe it, and her head shaking like a rattle said, "Well, your words are not convincing. The current sister-brother relationship is fashionable. Humph, her face turned red, which means there is a ghost in her heart. In this era, when you have a wife, you have to go out to have sex with you, be romantic and happy, don't say it's just a girlfriend or a fiancée. Alas, tell my sister, does he have that meaning to you? Does he want to sneak into you?"
When Ruosi heard this, she reached out and twisted Yuanyuan's mouth. Wen Yuanyuan had already jumped away and flashed. She joked while running: "Haha, Liu'er, I'm pretending to be. Once you told your thoughts in the past, you will be as stinky as you are now, and you will be angry and embarrassed. Hahaha, I guessed right, right?"
Ruosi stomped her feet and said anxiously: "You are still chewing bed bugs, and you are not afraid of your tongue. Today I have to tear your stinky mouth."
The two of them were chasing while smiling. Someone who knew Ruo Si also came over to join in the fun. Two or three young boys came up and hugged Yuanyuan, shouting at Ruo Si: "Sister, hurry up, we will help you catch your uncle."
Yuanyuan was so angry that she twisted the face of the boy with her hands and said, "Hey, stinky brat, open your eyes and see clearly. Is I an uncle or an aunt?" After that, she pushed her not-so-full breasts hard. The boy touched the back of her head and asked in confusion: "It seems like a concubine! Is your hair so short?"
Wen Yuanyuan was even more amused and cried, "What does it look like? I'm a beauty that's like a fake one!"
Ruosi on the side had long been so smiling that she couldn't straighten her waist, and she didn't care about twisting her round mouth.
Wen Yuanyuan stared at her and said hatefully: "You are still laughing. You are such a heartless hoof. I gloat and take the blame!"
Ruosi said angrily: "You asked you to go out and put on makeup, but you didn't listen. You deserve it! Oh, my belly..."
On the way back to Jindu, Wen Yuanyuan talked to everyone about her ideas and opinions. She said: "Zixia Waterfall is so beautiful, it is the kind of beauty that can shake the soul. It can be completely built into the best hot spring resort, and it can even be compared with the top hot spring resorts in the world." She also said that if her team wanted to design and plan, she suggested that in the scenic area, in addition to the roads, some pavilions and towers that are suitable for the scenic area and necessary facilities, all other hot spring hotels and halls are built outside the scenic area. When you go to the mountain to see the waterfall, you must not build a sightseeing cable car. You can only build a plank road based on the mountain. If tourists want to appreciate the spectacular waterfall group, you can learn from foreign experience and build a small helicopter outside the restricted area and use helicopters instead of the cable car.
Finally, Wen Yuanyuan looked at the direction of Zixia Waterfall and murmured with a pious expression: "It is like a magnificent treasure given to us by God, which cannot withstand the slightest blasphemy and damage of us."
Looking at Yuanyuan's almost obsessed eyes, Li Chao made up his mind: I would definitely not be wrong with giving Zixia Waterfall to Wen Yuanyuan.
In fact, Bokuan had been moved for a long time. He said to Li Chao: "The third brother, let's ask Wen Jiabei to come out to talk after she goes back. If she gets half of it, we will take on this project."
Li Chao shouted loudly: "Chairman, you are too cruel! You can make a quarrel in half at once. The Wen family has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. I dare to bet with you that Wen Jiabei will definitely not agree."
Bokuan waved his hand and said, "This is the highest psychological price we can take over. Go back and talk to her well. You will definitely be able to deal with her. I'm optimistic about you!"
Li Chao cursed in his heart: "Damn, I'm still optimistic. You can go and talk about it. All these hot things are left to me. If you eat Xiangxiang, you can't remember me."
Li Chao looked at the smiling Ruosi and Yuanyuan, and smiled bitterly helplessly.
This day is a rare good weather in Jindu in winter. The sky is clear and green, the clouds are not stained, the distant mountains are dark, and the gentle wind brings warmth, sweeping away the haze that has been shrouded over the city for many days.
Li Chao called Wen Jiabei to go to the river to bask in the sun, have tea and chat.
Wen Jiabei happily went there as soon as possible.
On the platform of the slope of the Spring Peninsula, the two of them were bathed in the warm sunshine and chatted casually. Later, Wen Jiabei couldn't help but ask about Zixia Waterfall.
Li Chao looked embarrassed and said with a smirk: "I'm a little embarrassed to talk to you about this matter. I have reported this project to the company and the group attaches great importance to it. We have also held a meeting to discuss it specifically. The group is willing to take over, but, uh... because we did not consider this project in this year's funding arrangement, the cost of temporarily collecting the wrong funds is relatively high. You must know this. So if the group takes over this project now, you need to make a slight discount on your advance investment funds...a halfway. Please forgive me for this. Please understand and support me. Alas, I have been thinking about how to speak in front of Sister Bei. Now I'm talking about it all, and I feel relaxed all over my body. Hahaha." After saying that, I wiped the sweat on my forehead with my hands.
His behavior made Wen Jiabei giggle and joked, "Oh, what a big deal, I'll force our young master Shangguan to do this!" After saying that, he pondered for a while, then looked at Li Chao with a pair of wonderful eyes and continued, "We have a big loss to make a deal in half. Brother Chao, I'm going to tell you that there is a company in Shanghai that is also negotiating with us. They are willing to pay 20 million to take over this project, but I haven't agreed."
When Li Chao heard this, he thought it was gone. He felt that Sister Bei would definitely not agree with the plan he had just proposed, so he said, "Sister Bei, do you think this is good? Please consider this matter again. When I go back, I will discuss it with the group and discuss it again. We both try to take a step towards each other. In terms of business, it is better to have your love and be willing to do it. Whoever loses too much is unhappy, is it true that Sister Bei?"
Wen Jiabei asked again: "Can you make the decision on this matter?"
Li Chao raised his chest and nodded with certainty. Wen Jiabei pondered for a while, then looked at Li Chao with a smile and said, "Actually, just a few million is not a problem for both of us. If I agree to cooperate with that company in Shanghai, I believe that Zheng Jun and that secretary will inevitably interfere, and it is not certain to pick bones in the eggs. I like to cut the mess in everything, and it is not beautiful to drag things on the ground. Brother Chao, if you do it yourself, then Sister Bei will fulfill your heart and fulfill you?"
Li Chao was overjoyed when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine that Wen Jiabei, who looked delicate on the surface, was so generous and decisive when doing things. He raised his sword and never stagnated with mud. He was as indecisive as an ordinary woman. He couldn't help but be respectful to her. Suddenly, she thought that she was not the same to herself at that time, and she waved her sword to cut off her love. However, this time, Sister Bei bought such a big face for herself, Li Chao stopped caring about the past, and picked up the teacup and said, "Sister Bei was straightforward and neat, she really deserved to be a husband in the boudoir and a hero in the female. No wonder people outside were circulating: Jindu is a flower, and it also depends on the Wen family. I think this sentence is not only praising Sister Bei for your appearance, but also praises you for your refreshing and decisive behavior!"
Wen Jiabei giggled after hearing this, and looked at Li Chao with beautiful eyes and said coquettishly: "It's smooth-mouthed. People say that the young master of the Shangguan family is the best at speaking, and I don't know how many girls have been fascinated. Fortunately, Sister Bei is very determined and a little self-aware, otherwise she would have to die in vain and die in vain."
Li Chao smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Bei praised it."
Wen Jiabei continued, "Brother Chao, you're happy now, and finally fulfilled your wish. Then you have to remember that you owe Sister Bei a favor this time. If Sister Bei has something to ask for your name next time, you can't refuse it casually."
Li Chao nodded and replied, "Sister Bei will not dare to refuse whenever he has any questions in the future."
Wen Jiabei smiled and said, "This is my good brother. You have to remember what you promise today."
Li Chao replied: "Remember it in your heart."
Wen Jiabei was very happy when he heard this, and his words became more and more gentle. After drinking tea for a while, Wen Jiabei played with the teacup, thinking about it, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Chao, as far as I know, Ling Zun had also visited Zixia Waterfall and donated more than 10 million yuan in donations to those mountain village schools in the state. It was highly respected and loved by people from all walks of life in Bazhou. We, Wen, left more than 30 million there, but we found hatred and almost got into a lawsuit. Compared with each other, it was really a world of difference! Ling Zun's actions are masters, with precise layout, time and harmony, which makes us younger generations admire us."
A smart person like Li Chao can't hear the meaning of Wen Jiabei's strings. He did not take Wen Jiabei's words, but said seriously: "Sister Bei, you may not know that since childhood, I have regarded my father as an idol in life. Although I have a great difference from him, I also hope that one day I can become an upright and noble person like him. My father's behavior has always been based on inner cultivation, self-consciousness without reminding, freedom based on constraints and kindness for others. Therefore, many people, including us younger generations, respect him comes from their hearts."
Wen Jiabei felt a little fever on his face and hurriedly explained: "Brother Chao, don't get me wrong about Sister Bei's words. My original intention is also very much admired by Ling Zun. In fact, you can see some of the shadows of Ling Zun from you. Such a wise man is probably not to be found in today's world. If you have the chance, Brother Chao, can you introduce me to me? Let my sister listen to his teachings."
Li Chao smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? But there's no teaching. Sister Bei is so serious. My father is very peaceful and casual."
It was almost noon, and Li Chao said to Wen Jiabei: "Sister Bei, I am really happy today. I will go to the kitchen to cook a few fish in a while and ask you to taste it. OK?"
Wen Jiabei was happy to hear this and said, "Okay, I've heard from me that the young master of the Shangguan family has excellent cooking skills and is very good at cooking. Today, my sister has a good taste."
After hearing this, Li Chao thought to himself, "You know a lot about us. It's really hard for you to know yourself and your enemy."
Chapter completed!
