Half past two.

Li Lin walked out of Dongsheng Hotel with Yang Ping and Qiao An.

Hou Yaodong was waiting at the door early.

When he saw Li Lin and the others coming out, he hurried to greet them.

"Did you have a good rest at noon?" Hou Yaodong asked with concern.

"I squinted my eyes and now I'm full of energy." Li Lin replied with a smile.

"Liu Haidong called me and asked about your schedule. I told them that you would arrive at the factory around three o'clock. They also asked if you could stay for dinner in the evening. I couldn't make the decision, so I didn't give them a clear answer." Hou Yaodong said with a smile.

Li Lin nodded and said firmly, "Okay, I understand. Whether to stay for dinner or not depends on how the afternoon discussion goes. If both parties are willing to cooperate, there's no harm in having dinner!"

"I have prepared the car for you." Hou Yaodong handed a pair of car keys to Li Lin with a smile.

Li Lin took a look and saw that it was a top-level luxury business car.

He smiled and declined Hou Yaodong's offer, "We brought our own car."

Hou Yaodong hesitated for two seconds, and after a long consideration, he pushed the car keys to Li Lin again, "I think it's better to drive this car. Although you are an official, this trip is for business after all. Businessmen pay attention to face and status. If you drive this car, you can better show your strength, and those people will not dare to look down on you!"

"I appreciate your kindness." Li Lin still had a smile on his face, his eyes were firm, "But Brother Hou, have you ever thought that even if Mayor Qian went to discuss business with Long Jian in person, he would not go in a luxury car.

At first glance, I, Li Lin, seem very powerful, as I always travel in a million-level luxury car. But when I leave, will they think that I, a section-level cadre, am just pretending to be powerful?

How will they view us as party members and cadres? Such a car does not match my status, and I would feel uneasy sitting in it. It is better to drive our own car, which costs more than 200,000 yuan and is not ugly. "

This time, Li Lin and his friends were still driving Yang Ping's car.

Seeing that Li Lin was determined, Hou Yaodong stopped insisting and said with a sigh, "Okay, I didn't think it through. I wish you all the best!"

After saying that, Qiao An started the car, and Li Lin and Yang Ping opened the door and sat in the back seat.

Looking at the car going farther and farther away, Hou Yaodong was a little absent-minded and stood there for a long time.

In the past two years, the three Liu brothers have actually been in contact with Hou Yaodong quite a lot. They have always wanted to ask Hou Yaodong to establish contact with Sun Huaide.

However, when Sun Huaide heard that Longjian Group wanted to get rid of Sanding Chamber of Commerce, he simply refused to meet them and directly put an end to the Liu brothers' fantasies.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Sanding's power, but he had absolutely no legitimate reason to interfere in this matter.

If you intervene forcefully, you will be laughed at by people in the circle.

Sun Huaide was not short of money, so there was no need for him to get into trouble with the people from the Sanding Chamber of Commerce because of this business.

Hou Yaodong also knew Sun Huaide's thoughts very well, so he did not think that Sun Huaide would break up with the Sanding Chamber of Commerce at all costs because of Li Lin.

After all, the people behind the Sanding Chamber of Commerce were all former famous department-level or even vice-ministerial-level leaders in Hanjiang.

Hou Yaodong took out his cell phone expressionlessly and called Sun Huaide.

"Boss Sun, I have something to report to you. Li Lin wants us to take over Longjian Group's distribution rights in Hanjiang, and use this as a bargaining chip to get Longjian to invest and build a factory in Weishui Township."

As Hou Yaodong spoke, he recalled the scene where Li Lin resolutely refused the luxury car.

Hou Yaodong couldn't help but admire Li Lin's determination and adherence to principles.

In today's materialistic society, it is rare to find someone like Li Lin who remains sober and firm.

He knew very well that the reason why Li Lin was so determined was not because he did not know how to take advantage of external advantages, but because he had a clear bottom line and principles in his heart and knew what could and could not be done.

This quality is extremely valuable in both official and business circles.

On the way, Li Lin called Liu Haidong, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Li Lin from Weishui Township. We will be at Longjian headquarters in ten minutes."

When Liu Haidong received a call from Li Lin, he immediately took his people downstairs to wait for him.

Ten minutes later, an ordinary car stopped at the main entrance of Longjian Group's headquarters.

Li Lin got off the car first, followed closely by Yang Ping.

Seeing the two people, Liu Haidong and the senior executives behind him were stunned.

Could he be Mr. Sun’s younger brother Li Lin?

He just came here in a car worth two hundred thousand yuan and with one subordinate?

Liu Haiwen and Liu Haiwu couldn't help but feel puzzled. No matter how they looked at it, Li Lin didn't seem like a big shot like Sun Huaide's younger brother!

Liu Haiwu couldn't help but whispered to Liu Haidong, "Haidong, these two people, are they not liars?"

Liu Haidong remained calm and said without turning his head, "What do you know? People with real ability don't care about these external things. The more ordinary a person looks, the more strategic he is. Don't underestimate him!"

Liu Haiwen and Liu Haiwu were skeptical, but seeing Li Lin and the other man coming towards them, they had to force a smile and followed Liu Haidong to meet them.

"Is that Secretary Li? You've had hard work on the way! Haha..." Liu Haidong took the lead and stepped forward and extended his right hand.

Li Lin smiled and shook hands with him, saying, "Boss Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Holding Li Lin's strong hand and feeling the calm demeanor emanating from him, Liu Haidong's heart trembled, and he was convinced that Li Lin was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Secretary Li, let's go upstairs first. I'll give you a brief introduction to the basic situation of our Longjian Group. Wait a minute, I'll personally take you to visit the factory, hahaha..."
