Chapter 230 I'm Not Panic, Don't Panic

Two days later.

A sunny morning.

The Binh Duong Municipal Government and Jianghai Group officially signed the contract.

At the same time, the Municipal Finance Bureau signed a loan agreement with three banks in the provincial capital.

During the lunch break, Qian Lingyun was extremely happy. He threw the "noontime drinking ban" out of his mind and clinked glasses with Ren Jianghai and Yang Wanquan frequently.

“Mr. Ren, thank you for your investment. Don’t worry, the Pingyang Municipal Government will not treat you unfairly in terms of policy. We will not reduce the subsidies you deserve, and will not ask for more taxes and fees than you deserve. You can run the cotton mill with peace of mind.

When the time is right, our municipal government will also consider promoting the cotton mill to go public! Hahahaha, in short, the cotton mill has a bright future, and Mr. Ren has a bright future too!"

Qian Lingyun drank three cups in a row, patted Ren Jianghai's shoulder with one hand, and said excitedly.

Yang Wanquan also stood up excitedly, his face beaming with joy. As the main person in charge of the reorganization of the cotton mill, he had made great contributions to Pingyang City.

He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling at the thought of leaving a strong and brilliant mark in his work resume.

He stood up and walked to Ren Jianghai, holding up a full goblet and congratulating him, “Mr. Ren, I sincerely toast you for the successful reorganization of Pingyang Cotton Mill and your wise and powerful decision.

Just as Mayor Qian said, our Pingyang City will never mistreat friendly merchants who come to invest here. If you have any problems in the future, you can come directly to me and Mayor Qian for help. As long as it does not violate the principles, we will definitely help you!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Ren Jianghai's expression, picked up the goblet and drank it all, and after drinking it, he laughed heartily three times...

Throughout the lunch, Ren Jianghai had a faint smile on his face. That smile was deep and intriguing, and only Li Lin could understand it.

Qian Lingyun saw Li Lin sitting silently on the side, so he waved at him and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, you have made a great contribution to this reorganization, but this is all due to President Ren's extraordinary courage. Shouldn't you also toast to President Ren? Ah? Hahaha..."

Li Lin smiled indifferently. Compared with Qian Lingyun's heroic excitement, he was like a swaying sapling in the shadow of a big tree.

He did not reject Qian Lingyun's proposal. He stood up calmly, walked to Ren Jianghai, and raised his glass to him. "Mr. Ren, I toast you. You are a good person. I always believe that you can make the right decision. Cheers!"

Li Lin's tone was flat.

Ren Jianghai's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He felt that there was something else behind Li Lin's words, and the implied meaning struck deep into his heart.

He stood up and clinked glasses with Li Lin. His smile was a little stiff, and he said with a lack of confidence, "Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Li. Without you, I couldn't have made up my mind."

"Oh?" Li Lin pretended to be confused. "I don't think I played a big role in this matter. Mr. Ren is too modest."

After saying that, Li Lin raised his glass, took a sip, then turned around and returned to his seat.

As Ren Jianghai listened to Li Lin's words, he felt as if his conspiracy had been exposed.

But how is this possible? Who can guess what he is thinking?

Ren Jianghai calmed himself down, thinking that he was being too sensitive. He smiled helplessly, raised his head to drink the toast, and sat back in his seat.

afternoon.

Because of drinking, Qian Lingyun and Yang Wanquan did not return to the city government, but stayed in the city hotel to rest.

Li Lin only took a small sip from beginning to end, as if he hadn't drunk anything at all.

He looked calm, sitting upright in his office, flipping through his phone from time to time to check messages.

Two hours later, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps in the corridor.

Zheng Hao and Zhang Mingchen hurried into Li Lin's office and reported in a hurried voice, "Team Leader, there is another supplementary agreement to be signed this afternoon, but Mr. Ren...can't be contacted!"

Li Lin frowned and asked, "Did you go to his room to check?"

Zhang Mingchen said, "We knocked several times, but no one answered. We were afraid something might happen, so we asked the hotel manager to open the door, but we found that Mr. Ren was not in the room at all. Team leader, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, I'll go report to Mayor Qian and Mayor Yang."

Having said that, Li Lin put away his phone, left the office, and walked towards the room where Qian Lingyun was.

Zheng Hao and Zhang Mingchen looked at Li Lin's calm back and were surprised. They wondered if Team Leader Li wasn't worried about Ren losing contact? Why didn't he look nervous at all?

Although he didn't drink much at noon, Qian Lingyun was exhausted because of the reorganization. Seeing the reorganization was finally successful, he relaxed for a rare time and slept soundly in the room.

Li Lin knocked on his door.

Qian Lingyun asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

"I'm Li Lin."

"Okay, here I come."

Qian Lingyun got up with difficulty, patted his face to make himself sober, and then opened the door.

"Xiao Lin, is there anything wrong? Is Mr. Ren awake and wants to talk to me about something?" Qian Lingyun asked with a smile.

Standing at the door, Li Lin said to Qian Lingyun, "Mayor Qian, I don't know what happened. Mr. Ren suddenly couldn't be contacted."

Li Lin's voice was not loud, but to Qian Lingyun it was like a bolt from the blue.

"You...what did you say? We can't contact Mr. Ren? Have you tried to look for him carefully? This kind of thing is not to be joked about!" Qian Lingyun was a little panicked and felt extremely nervous.

At this time, Yang Wanquan heard the noise in the corridor and pushed the door open. He saw Li Lin standing at Qian Lingyun's door reporting on his work. He smiled and asked, "Xiao Lin, the restructuring agreement has been signed. Why are you still working so hard? Didn't you take a break at noon?"

Li Lin glanced at Yang Wanquan and said to him calmly, "Mayor Yang, Ren Jianghai can't be contacted."

ah? !

The smile on Yang Wanquan's face froze instantly, and he froze in place. His legs were a little weak, and he asked weakly, "Xiao Lin, you said that President Ren... has lost contact? What does this mean?"

Qian Lingyun also stared blankly at Li Lin in front of him.

Li Lin said to the two of them seriously, "Mayor Qian, Mayor Yang, our people have looked for him, but they can't contact Ren Jianghai no matter what means they use. Now it is basically certain that Ren Jianghai has lost contact."

"But...but he just signed a cooperation agreement with us this morning! If he unilaterally breaks the contract, he will have to pay the penalty!" Yang Wanquan said almost hysterically.

At this moment, his scalp felt a little numb and he didn't dare to think too deeply. When he thought about Ren Jianghai running away, Pingyang would lose more than 20 million in vain, and he, as the person in charge of the restructuring office, could not escape the blame!

Qian Lingyun was also dumbfounded. The effect of the alcohol immediately dissipated. He tried to regain his composure and said, "Don't panic! Don't panic! Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Xiaolin, quickly take someone to his room to see if his luggage is still there..."
