Lin Ying glanced at Zhang Dongliang and said with a smile, "I just came back from Mr. Chen's place. Boss Li, what are you doing?"

"It's just a little gift!" Li Jianghu said as he asked someone to put down the things. "It's not anything expensive, so please don't refuse. It's just a few bags and some cosmetics!"

Li Jianghe felt a little regretful that the news came out too late in the evening. He had no time to prepare after receiving the news. Otherwise, careful preparation would definitely make Lin Ying more satisfied!

Fortunately, his wife also likes shopping. She just bought two new bags and took them out from Li Jianghe before she even unpacked them. When she passed by a department store, she also bought a set of high-end cosmetics.

Even such a gift is actually quite shabby, but I can always make up for it later.

Lin Ying holds great power now. If she can't even pass the first round of screening, then she won't be able to see Chen Fei later.

Lin Ying smiled and said, "I'll make a call."

She wants to explain to Fade Chen!

As soon as the call was connected and she explained, Fade Chen said, "Take it!"

"But will it violate the company's rules?" Lin Ying was very worried. Her opportunity was hard-earned, and it would not be worth it if she made her boss feel bad by accepting gifts.

"You are my assistant. If no one gives you gifts, it means our company is doomed. My son said it himself: it doesn't matter if you accept some things. You can just report to your boss, Secretary Lin Xiaoyu, later!" Chen Fei was speechless. His assistant's boss was actually his son's secretary.

Shouldn't it be switched? But this is a small matter. If my son wants it this way, then so be it.

Lin Ying was a little dumbfounded. Just reporting it was enough? This was too humane.

After hanging up on Fade Chen, she was still worried, so she called Lin Xiaoyu. After just a few words, she called Chen Chen instead: "Take it. We'll split it in half when we meet. Bring it to me when you come to the headquarters to complete the joining procedures. Remember, from now on, any gifts you receive will be split by me!"

Chen Chen looked like he was deeply corrupt.

Lin Ying was immediately helpless, but since the young boss had said so, "I understand. I will definitely bring it back!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying returned to the living room, looked at the two bags, and nodded slightly. They were the latest models on the market, each costing about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

"Boss Li and all the bosses, please take a seat!" Lin Ying then asked everyone to sit down.

Zhang Dongliang felt bad as soon as he saw it. Li Jianghe and others brought gifts, but he had nothing. The key point was that he had offended Lin Ying just now and spoke to her so rudely.

Zhang Dongliang was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. Lin Ying was no longer the same person she used to be. She was no longer someone he could afford to offend. He glanced at the bags. Lin Ying actually accepted the gifts. That made things easier.

"Assistant Lin, I have something to do, so I'll be out for a while. I'll be right back!" Zhang Dongliang said and ran out of the room.

He was in a hurry to buy gifts. Now was a critical time for the project. With Li Jianghe and his people coming, it was certain that Lin Ying would become Chen Fei's assistant. The project... would require her.

But when he drove to several shopping malls, they were all closed. He was so angry that he wanted to die and regretted his impulsiveness.

Zhang Dongliang slapped himself in the car: "I let you go crazy, I let you go crazy, now you're going to kill yourself!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Dongliang remembered that he had bought a diamond necklace for his wife not long ago. He quickly called his wife and asked, "Where's your necklace? And your bag?"

"What?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I need it, send it to me quickly!"

"Zhang Dongliang, what do you mean..."

"Fuck, I want to send someone away, send it to me quickly..." Zhang Dongliang explained quickly, and then his wife collapsed.

At Lin Ying's home, Li Jianghe and others were looking at Lin Ying.

Lin Ying was explaining to everyone, "I can speak to the engineering side of things, but this is a local mega-project for our Hailv Group, and it's quite significant, so we have to be very particular about which company to hire. You all know me, and I won't hide anything from you. I've just taken over, so I don't know much about the situation yet. Once I understand the specific project and Mr. Chen's ideas, I'll talk to you again!"

"Of course I should!" Li Jianghe said with a quick smile, "We haven't prepared enough for today. Assistant Lin, how about we have dinner together tomorrow? What do you think?"

"I need to ask the boss for instructions!" Lin Ying said

"Of course I should!" Li Jianghe nodded. "Then we'll get ready first. I'd like you to come to our company and give us some guidance later."

Lin Ying was speechless. She didn't understand engineering, so how could she guide any work? These bosses were really shrewd.

But she didn't refuse. Since the other party was so considerate and gave her face, Lin Ying would not be as rude as Zhang Dongliang.

"It's settled then. I'll ask the boss later!"

After Lin Ying finished speaking, Li Jianghe and the others saw that it was almost time, so they said goodbye. They got in the car, and the others asked Li Jianghe what Lin Ying meant.

"It's nothing, he's very polite to us!" Li Jianghe said, "You still think she's just a barmaid, but now we all need her. Local CEOs who are bigger and more powerful than us also need her. She's our benefactor now."

Li Jianghe said with a hint of regret: "The news came too late today. We are not well prepared. We only brought a few bags from home. It's not sincere. Let's go back to eat and prepare well. The Small Commodity City project is a big project!"

"The project is huge, but what about the settlement? What if Mr. Chen doesn't have the money?"

Li Jianghe was speechless as he looked at the boss who was talking. "Didn't you do your homework? The Sea Green Group is out of money. Do you think those government officials are idiots? How could they trick Mr. Chen into signing the contract without doing any thorough research?"

The news about Chen Fei signing a contract with the government had been leaked a long time ago. The news came from within the government. The government knew that Chen Fei was rich, so they deliberately took advantage of Chen Fei being drunk to discuss cooperation with him!

Unexpectedly, Chen Fei finally accepted the contract!

Li Jianghe continued, "The 500 acres of wasteland in the suburbs was granted to Mr. Chen by the government. The day after signing the contract, Mr. Chen paid the government. Director Zhang was very surprised. We, the project managers, can't delay the government's payment? Mr. Chen is just very generous with the money. I know some people at work, and the bosses here have long known Mr. Chen's background. Mr. Chen signed a multi-billion dollar investment contract with the government at Qianlong and just acquired a super-large state-owned enterprise. How could he be short of money?"

"Hiss... this... then I'm relieved. Old Li, this time you have to lead us to win the project. It's worth over a billion. If we can get a share, it will be enough for us to make money for a long time."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll work hard. I'm usually quite polite to Miss Lin!" Li Jianghe said, "Judging from what she said tonight, we have a chance. At least she didn't kick us out and even explained to us that she needed to consult the boss, right? That means there's a chance!"

Li Jianghe decided that he must prepare well for tomorrow and give a generous gift!
