Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Qian Lingyun arrived at Dongsheng Hotel on time.

In the box on the third floor, Li Lin, Sun Huaide and Hou Yaodong were already waiting here.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Lin knew that Qian Lingyun had arrived and quickly stood up to greet him.

Sun Huaide sat there without moving.

Hou Yaodong stood up and stood aside.

Everyone met.

Qian Lingyun was the first to reach out his hand, "Boss Sun, it's been a long time since we last met in Pingyang!"

The two met once at an investment promotion conference and had a drink together, but other than that they had no other relationship.

Sun Huaide then slowly stood up, with a polite smile on his face, and shook hands with him, "Mayor Qian, how are you?"

Qian Lingyun shook his head helplessly, "You should be very clear about my situation. I am just an idle person..."

Sun Huaide smiled and said, "Mayor Qian is too modest. A dragon will fly sooner or later. You are just gathering your strength now!"

It’s a pleasure to chat with open-minded people.

Although Sun Huaide has a mysterious identity and a high status, he is humble and polite. Qian Lingyun likes to interact with such people.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you are too kind! Compared with Mr. Sun, a real dragon, I am at most a frog in a well! Hahaha..."

"Mayor Qian's analogy is too modest. Let me introduce it to you."

As he spoke, Sun Huaide pointed at Hou Yaodong.

"Hou Yaodong, responsible for all of Dongsheng Group's business in Hanjiang Province!"

Qian Lingyun immediately extended his hand and shook it, "Hello, Mr. Hou! I'll be thankful for your care in Hanjiang Province from now on!"

"Mayor Qian, you're too polite. I may have to trouble you with many things." Hou Yaodong said with a polite smile.

"Oh?" Qian Lingyun pretended to be surprised and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid I can't help you much. Everyone knows that I'm just a nominal director of the National People's Congress! Hahaha..."

Hou Yaodong smiled and said meaningfully, "Boss Sun just said that Mayor Qian is a dragon and will soar into the sky sooner or later. I, Old Hou, will wait until you become successful before bothering you again!"

The meaning of the words is very specific, clearly saying that Qian Lingyun will soon be in charge of a region, and then he will be able to help him!

Upon hearing this, Qian Lingyun burst into laughter, shook Hou Yaodong's hand vigorously, and did not make any statement.

At this time, Li Lin seized the opportunity and offered the seats to the three people.

The four of them sat down.

I found that there was neither food nor wine on the table.

There is only a pot of tea.

But no one was confused.

Instead, they smiled at each other and consciously picked up the teacup in front of them.

Qian Lingyun knew that the banquet could only begin after the important matters had been made clear.

As the middleman, Li Lin spoke first.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Hou, Mayor Qian... I'll just say what I want to say."

The three of them looked at Li Lin, waiting for him to start.

Li Lin looked calm and said in a serious tone, "The position of Pingyang mayor is vacant this time, and Mayor Qian is one of the candidates."

"If we only look at qualifications, Mayor Qian must be the first choice for mayor."

"But the situation is a bit complicated now. First of all, the attitude of provincial leaders is unclear."

"Secondly, Lan Xiaoqin and Liu Hao are both very strong. I'm afraid they will become strong competitors for Mayor Qian."

"Mr. Sun and Mr. Hou, both of you are well-known Confucian businessmen in China, with strong connections and wide channels. Mayor Qian and I are extremely honored to have you two come forward today."

"Next, I would like to ask Mr. Sun to help me think of a way to help Mayor Qian win the election!"

Li Lin's words raised the status of the three people.

Because of Li Lin's words, Qian Lingyun would not feel inferior for asking Sun Huaide for help.

Sun Huaide would not feel that he was lowering his status by helping Qian Lingyun get the position of mayor.

The atmosphere at the beginning was very harmonious, and both sides were in an equal and friendly environment.

Qian Lingyun looked at Li Lin with gratitude. He felt inferior in front of a big shot like Sun Huaide.

However, Li Lin's opening remarks did not make his situation sound bad, which gave him more confidence in the conversation between the two parties.

Sun Huaide did not speak first, but drank his tea calmly.

He wanted to first see Qian Lingyun's attitude, whether he was determined enough to give up everything.

Only with such determination is it worthy of Sun Huaide's help!

Feeling the expectant gazes of the crowd, Qian Lingyun put down the teacup, as if he had made up his mind.

He said, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Hou, please forgive me for being frank."

"We have no connection at all, but today I ask you to help me."

"I, Qian, am very grateful that you can come. Before that, I must make my attitude clear."

"During the two years I served in Pingyang, my shortcomings were exposed and I was eventually forced to step down in disgrace."

"I regretted it for a long time, especially after I returned to the provincial party committee and faced those mocking eyes."

"I only regret that I shouldn't have been so aggressive and made drastic reforms, but neglected to unite with my comrades."

"During the past six months of silence, I have often reflected on myself and discovered that I do have some fatal flaws."

"Until now I am not sure if I have corrected everything, but I can promise that I will try my best to control myself!"

“I personally have no hope for the election of Pingyang mayor this time.”

"So please don't feel any psychological burden, Mr. Sun and Mr. Hou."

"I don't ask for a complete victory, I just want to give it a try! I will have no regrets in this life!"

"If I can win, I will definitely go all out and open up a whole new situation in Pingyang!"
