Chapter 66 Drinking Party
"Then we won't bother you anymore."
Chi Wenyan nodded and stopped looking at them.
A few people went out and thought that even though they had fallen to this point, they were still so arrogant. They might never be able to return to the Chi family in their lifetime.
The Chi family is not something he can go back to whenever he wants, and they are just here to talk.
After a few people left, the private room became quiet. Chi Wenyan took out his mobile phone, clicked on the pictures, looked at them over and over again, and finally stopped at Ji Wan's smiling face.
The corners of his lips unconsciously raised a smile.
…
At six o'clock in the evening, Ji Wan arrived at the Hanyangting Hotel on time.
Following the private room number given by Francis Ng, she arrived at the door of the room and gently opened the door. She was wearing a white dress, like a ray of moonlight under the night sky, quietly breaking into this room full of hidden dangers.
In an instant, countless eyes were focused on her.
"Xiao Wan is here, come and sit down."
Wu Zhenhai waved his hand gently, calling Ji Wan over. Ji Wan stood next to Wu Zhenhai and quickly scanned the people present.
"Xiao Wan, let me introduce you. This is Director Wang from the local Culture and Tourism Bureau..."
Ji Wan greeted everyone one by one with a polite and humble attitude, and the older elders couldn't help but praise him.
However, not everyone's eyes were so friendly. Some middle-aged bosses in suits looked at Ji Wan greedily.
Especially the eyes, which slowly scan from top to bottom.
That lustful look is really disgusting.
Wu Zhenhai frowned slightly and moved his body to block Ji Wan.
"Miss Ji is so young, but she has such a great talent for design. She has a bright future ahead of her."
"You're too kind. I heard that Antu Enterprise has become a leading industry in H City, and the quality of their auto repairs is also top-notch. I should learn from you."
The person who casually complimented her was stunned. He didn't expect that Ji Wan also knew about his company. He immediately felt a lot more favorable towards her.
I originally thought she was just a pretty face, but anyone who could attract Wu Zhenhai to social events must be quite capable.
"You may be young and talented, but don't be conceited. When it comes to business, you can't just rely on good looks."
I don't know who said this sourly, and then seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and coughed.
Wu Zhenhai's face changed slightly. These people saw that Ji Wan was young and beautiful, so they started to suppress her at this time. They were so shameless.
He was about to say something when Ji Wan gently pressed the back of Wu Zhenhai's hand. Wu Zhenhai looked at her and saw Ji Wan smiling with a shrewd look in her eyes. She did not directly refute the man's remarks.
"You're right. In the business world, a glamorous appearance isn't enough to survive; real strength is key. Although I'm young, I understand this principle. Just like your company produces nylon, but its environmental technology lags behind. I previously purchased a batch out of admiration, but unfortunately... perhaps you should consider upgrading your equipment. Using greener materials would actually be more cost-effective."
The man's face changed and he quickly looked at Director Wang, whose eyes darkened.
"Ahem, our factory's equipment is maintained every month, and we also import green materials from abroad. Miss Ji, it's better not to talk nonsense."
"How dare I say anything? Who wouldn't have visited the site before purchasing goods? However, the city has been developing rapidly in recent years, and importing any materials is just a matter of a phone call. I believe your factory will definitely develop and improve. Otherwise, if something really happened, you wouldn't be here..."
Ji Wan paused at the right tone and smiled apologetically.
"Look at me, I've only been out for a short while, so I can't talk. Please excuse me, I'll toast you a glass."
Ji Wan pretended to pour the wine, but the man didn't dare to say anything. He quickly stopped her from pouring the wine, fearing that the woman would reveal something again once she opened her mouth.
A hint of relief flashed in Wu Zhenhai's eyes.
During this time, no one dared to say anything to Ji Wan. After eating and drinking for a while, Director Wang looked a little annoyed.
At this time, Ji Wan toasted everyone one by one and tried to get close to them. With Wu Zhenhai's support, she was not afraid of embarrassment.
To make connections, one needs to be thick-skinned, and this is the perfect time to pay tribute to Director Wang.
Director Wang leaned slightly to the side, raised his hand slightly to block the wine glass, and it seemed that he was refusing the toast.
Ji Wan chuckled, walked over and said, "Director Wang, I really want to thank you very much."
Director Wang was stunned and didn't understand what Ji Wan meant.
"I went to H City today and took a friend for a walk. I really got to experience the coastal scenery. To be honest, I ate a lot of squid while I was here. I almost felt full. It was so delicious."
Ji Wan's eyes were as bright as stars, and his expression just showed that he was still unsatisfied.
The specialty of H City is local seafood. Not to mention tourists, even the director, a local, can't help but sneak to the night market to have a few bites after work.
"Our seafood is so fresh. I'm not proud of it. When the seafood city ranking was held, this place was ranked first."
"I tasted it, Chief. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I have a request."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang's happy expression turned calm. He could guess what Ji Wan wanted to say.
In fact, he didn't want to participate in this social event. He was required to do environmental protection charity, add luster to it, increase people's income, and help some needy households.
This public welfare project is not very popular, is difficult to implement, and requires precise assistance. Director Wang is having a headache.
Wu Zhenhai had some friendship with him and said that he could help plan a charity project, but the project would inevitably require sponsors to join in order to get started.
With the attitude of giving it a try, he came to attend this social event.
Although it is normal for businessmen to talk about business, these people attach too much importance to public welfare as profit.
He keeps talking about how much money is needed and what kind of tourist attraction is to be built. The tourism industry in H City has long been saturated. Adding anything will cause serious internal competition, and in the end it will not be worth the cost.
In the end, it has been in deficit all the time, but it still has to use the name of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau. It is the Cultural and Tourism Bureau that is losing money, and they can just get away with it cleanly.
It's not that he didn't understand, but that made him even more disgusted. If it weren't for his friendship with Wu Zhenhai, he would have left long ago.
"Director Wang, I'd like to buy a lot of local seafood to take back. I want to give it to relatives and friends, and I also want to share it with friends and spread the word. Does the Director have any recommendations? It would be best if it's freshly caught by fishermen."
Director Wang was stunned. He didn't expect Ji Wan to say this.
"Over at Beihai Port, they catch and sell fresh fish. You can go and have a look if you need any."
"Thank you, I like this fresh taste."
Ji Wan smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, as if this was the real purpose of her coming to the social event.
"You were brought here by Wu Zhenhai. Don't you want to talk about the project?"
"How dare I talk about anything? My family's company is in a downturn. To be honest, I'm just an ordinary worker and don't earn that much. Instead of thinking about these things, I'd rather think about how to lie down and eat, drink and have fun."
Ji Wan's face was full of sincerity. Perhaps because of this sincerity, Director Wang did not see any hypocrisy in Ji Wan, and the two of them started chatting unconsciously.
