Then Zhang Juncai sat for a while longer, and chatted with Hou Peng for a bit, but his attitude wasn't very enthusiastic. He mainly expressed his hope that the town would provide more support for Li Xiuyuan's work.
As for Wang Yonghua, Zhang Juncai ignored him completely from beginning to end.
"Xiuyuan, I have some guests over. When you have time later, I'll call Lao Shao and we'll sit down together." Zhang Juncai stayed for more than twenty minutes before getting up to say goodbye.
"Okay, definitely, definitely, I'll arrange it." Li Xiuyuan got up and saw him to the door, then sat back down at the table.
Hou Peng looked at Li Xiuyuan with a complicated expression and said, "Xiuyuan, I didn't expect you and Director Zhang to have such a good relationship."
Director Zhang? That's Old Zhang. What do you mean by "good relationship"? Back then, Old Zhang came to me with an envelope.
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, then smiled and said, "It's alright. Back in the county, I got along well with Director Shao and Director Zhang. We were close and often ate together."
"Heh, you get along with Director Shao and Director Zhang? You get along with directors of powerful departments, right? If you're willing to cultivate relationships, then you're willing to cultivate relationships. Who can laugh at you?" Hou Peng thought to himself, his face slightly stiff as he said, "That's great. From now on, our central town will definitely receive strong support from the county bureau in the areas of finance and industry and commerce."
Li Xiuyuan was a shrewd person. He could tell some of Hou Peng's thoughts from Hou Peng's expression. He sighed silently, "Hou Zhen, he's not someone I can talk to. They're all bureau chiefs from powerful departments."
It's about who I can talk to, and whoever can become the director of a powerful department.
Zhu Wei and I couldn't get along. He had already reached the position of bureau chief, but he was kicked off.
However, Li Xiuyuan certainly wouldn't explain these things to Hou Peng. He nodded with a smile, and as the dinner party came to an end, Wang Yonghua brought up the serious matter of machinery leasing.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Wang Yonghua without any politeness: "President Wang, you were introduced by Hou Zhen, so there's definitely no problem with that. I can make the decision to give you this business..."
"Thank you, thank you, Li Zhen." Wang Yonghua didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to be so agreeable, but he was interrupted by Li Xiuyuan as soon as he opened his mouth.
"No need to thank me, you should thank Mayor Hou. However, I would like to make two requests. First, regarding the quality of the construction machinery, you must be honest and reliable. You can't send machinery that breaks down every three days or every other day, slowing down our project progress. We will not owe you a penny of the money due, but the work that needs to be done cannot be delayed in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yonghua readily agreed, "Li Zhen, don't worry, I'm sure."
"Secondly, since you've taken on the project in Meilin Village, all of your company's machinery must be prioritized to ensure the project's progress in Meilin Village..."
Both of Li Xiuyuan's requests were related to time. When Wang Yonghua saw Li Xiuyuan agree, he was overjoyed, thinking that he would have to have a couple more meals to express his feelings before the other party would agree. He didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would agree so quickly, so he didn't pay attention.
However, Hou Peng, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. He understood. In the Meilin Village project, Li Xiuyuan valued time the most. He didn't care much about other things, such as who made money.
