Chapter 114 Connections
"Doctor Ye, I finally waited for you."
Mayor Ye patted Ye Wangshu on the shoulder to comfort her from the unhappiness caused by Minister Sun's attitude.
"You must be tired and hungry after such a long train ride! I'm treating you all today, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
As soon as Mayor Ye finished speaking, the crowd began to praise their mayor.
Although Mayor Ye is fair and strict, he still likes to hear people praising him sometimes. He feels very happy and walks much faster.
Minister Sun snorted coldly and walked beside Mayor Ye.
After creating some distance, Mayor Ye deliberately slowed down his pace and moved closer to Ye Wangshu. "This Minister Sun is the one who has been suppressing your village's application. He's just a little arrogant, but he doesn't have any bad intentions."
What Mayor Ye didn't mention was that Minister Sun was originally more optimistic about the development of other villages, but after Ye Wangshu's interference, the development she valued was overshadowed.
Therefore, I feel a little jealous of Ye Wangshu.
But based on Mayor Ye's understanding of this person, Minister Sun is just a little arrogant, but he has a good heart.
He had also looked at the previous applications, and the application submitted by Ye Wangshu's village was indeed not perfect.
"I can see that Minister Sun is not a bad person."
Ye Wangshu has always been good at judging people. Although Minister Sun has a bad attitude, he still gives her the impression of being upright and dignified.
His attitude just now seemed more like that of a proud person pretending not to care, but in fact he had cared about it for a long time.
"Why are you walking so slowly?"
Minister Sun was walking in front, but the footsteps beside him became farther and farther away, so he stopped immediately.
Those who came to attend the exchange meeting have always admired Mayor Ye and would not pass him when walking.
Mayor Ye intended to explain to Ye Wangshu, and the distance between them widened.
"Minister Sun, don't be so official with people. We've been on the train for so long, we're all tired. It's understandable that we're walking slowly!"
Mayor Ye laughed and walked quickly to Minister Sun.
Minister Sun looked at everyone and nodded slightly.
Ye Wangshu discovered that Minister Sun's steps were not as fast as before.
Mayor Ye had already reserved a table, and they were seated directly after entering.
The tables in Shenzhen State-owned Hotel are very large. If you are in a hurry, at least ten people can sit at one table.
However, Mayor Ye was very generous and booked five tables, one of which was in a private room.
Mayor Ye took Ye Wangshu directly to the box, and Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiaohong naturally followed.
The representatives from other villages all knew that Ye Wangshu had saved Mayor Ye's life. Although they were a little envious of Ye Wangshu for being able to have dinner with Mayor Ye, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were to have dinner with Mayor Ye and Minister Sun, they probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the meal at all.
As soon as he stepped into the box, Ye Wangshu found that there were already several people sitting there.
When Mayor Ye and Minister Sun came in, these people stood up and greeted them.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, everyone, please feel free to take a seat!"
Mayor Ye stepped forward and asked everyone to sit down.
"These are the bosses who invested in this exchange meeting," Mayor Ye introduced several bosses to Ye Wangshu one by one, and then said, "The tables outside are a bit crowded, so I brought them in. I hope you bosses won't blame me."
Mayor Ye's original intention was to let Ye Wangshu show himself in front of a few bosses. He knew Ye Wangshu's abilities, and who knows when Ye Wangshu will develop to Shenzhen.
Shenzhen is different from the city. Ye Wangshu would have difficulty moving forward without connections.
The bosses were all smart people and naturally knew that Mayor Ye wanted them to get acquainted with the woman in front of them, so they did not speak first.
Seeing this, Ye Wangshu stood up with a smile on his lips and greeted the bosses one by one.
"Thanks to Mayor Ye, my daughter Ye Wangshu was able to see the heroic figures of several bosses. This exchange meeting was worthwhile."
Ye Wangshu's ability to understand current affairs greatly satisfied the hearts of these self-proclaimed superiors. In addition, Ye Wangshu was good-looking, so they were naturally willing to give Mayor Ye some face.
"We are so lucky to be able to sponsor this exchange meeting! There will be a lot to see. Miss Ye must have some outstanding qualities to be able to come here as a representative. We must see them."
Several people looked at each other, their eyes emitting a gleam that only belongs to businessmen.
Ye Wangshu felt a little unhappy, but she knew that this was something she had to face.
In this era, she currently cannot make a name for herself with her medical skills.
If you want to live a good life, you must create your own wealth.
"I don't know much. Apart from making a few dishes, I know a little bit about medicine and have developed a few cosmetics."
In the semi-enclosed space, Ye Wangshu's cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes were clear, and his eyes flashed with the ambition that these businessmen were familiar with.
These old foxes who have been in the business world for a long time are not afraid of Ye Wangshu's ambition, but they are afraid that Ye Wangshu will pretend to be innocent.
"Miss Ye's knowledge is quite extensive. I happen to own several department stores in the provincial capital. If Miss Ye's cosmetics business becomes successful, she will definitely consider opening up my buildings!"
"Of course, of course. If you agree, my cosmetics will be available in your department store."
For a while, several bosses were talking to Ye Wangshu, but Ye Wangshu was not afraid at all and responded very well.
Mayor Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Ye Wangshu's strength when he saw this. If this was his own daughter... she would probably just hide beside him and pick up food.
"Ms. Ye, are you bringing your family with you to this exchange? Judging from her age, she should still be in school! This trip will take at least two weeks. Won't it affect her studies?"
The middle-aged man sitting next to Zhou Xiaohong had a greasy face and his belly looked like that of a woman who was about to give birth.
Zhou Xiaohong blinked, glanced at Ye Wangshu, and then turned to look at the man.
"Hello, Uncle Sun. My name is Zhou Xiaohong. I'm here with my sister-in-law to broaden my horizons. As for school... I dropped out a while ago, but I plan to take the transfer exam next year."
When talking about school, Zhou Xiaohong's cheeks turned red.
I was the one who said I didn’t want to go to school before, but now I’m still the one who wants to go to school.
But she had no choice. Before, she only wanted to learn a skill, but now she wanted to see a wider world through learning.
After all, when she was at Xiuse Barber Shop, she was very envious of those knowledgeable customers.
"Is that so?" Boss Sun's short, narrow eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze fixed on Zhou Xiaohong. "Uncle says that going to school is not only hard but also tiring. If you're willing, uncle will pay you a salary. How about you stay and work with uncle?"
There was no such thing as child labor in this era. After all, many children from poor families could not even afford to go to elementary school.
Ye Wangshu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. "Boss Sun, you're joking. My little sister is still young and wants to go to school all the time! We, as parents, also want her to go to school even more."
