I thought that I would inevitably meet Liu Yuan at Longjian’s headquarters. After all, she is the vice president of Longjian Group.
But surprisingly, until Li Lin and Yang Ping returned to Longjian headquarters from the factory, they did not see Liu Yuan.
This made Li Lin secretly rejoice and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He thought, if she saw him showing up at Longjian headquarters without him calling her in advance, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
The cafeteria on the third floor of Longjian Group.
I thought the whole floor would be an open restaurant, but unexpectedly, there was only a room of about 100 square meters used as a restaurant.
In the middle of the restaurant, there is a huge round solid wood dining table. Judging from the number of chairs placed there, it is enough for twenty or thirty people to sit around and dine together.
Moreover, the decoration and furnishings inside the house are extremely luxurious, and one can tell at first glance that it is a place specially used to receive important guests.
Liu Haidong still led the way politely and directly placed Li Lin and Yang Ping in the guest of honor seats.
At this time, the private room was already filled with Long Jian’s senior executives, and even the brothers Liu Haiwen and Liu Haiwu stood respectfully.
Only after Li Lin and Yang Ping sat down did they pull out the chairs with smiles on their faces and sit down carefully.
This shows how much Long Jian attaches importance to Li Lin's arrival.
This shows how much the three Liu brothers respect Sun Huaide!
"Secretary Li, I have an unwelcome request. Brother, I am a few years older than you. From now on, how about we call each other brothers?"
Liu Haidong's eyes were full of anticipation, but after he finished speaking, he felt a little scared of his own abruptness, fearing that the young man in front of him would not give face to him, an old man.
Unexpectedly, Li Lin smiled and said to Liu Haidong warmly, "It is such a blessing to be able to be on good terms with the CEO of Longjian Group! How can I refuse? Brother Dong, don't you agree?"
Seeing that Li Lin agreed so readily, Liu Haidong excitedly held Li Lin's hands and said, "Brother Li Lin, you are a straightforward person! I like your straightforward personality! Come on, brother, let me toast you!"
As he spoke, Liu Haidong lifted the goblet on the table and drank the full glass of liquor. He then turned the glass upside down to show that there was not a drop of liquor left.
Li Lin praised, "Brother Dong has a good alcohol tolerance! I, Li Lin, am not as good as him. Please be lenient tonight and stop when the time is right! But I must finish this first glass of toast!"
The twenty or so people at the table all looked at Li Lin.
Everyone is curious about how much Secretary Li, who looks a bit "cowardly", can drink. Can he finish two taels of wine in one gulp?
In front of everyone, Li Lin picked up the wine glass, stood up, and without hesitation, drank the full glass of wine.
He also turned the cup upside down like Liu Haidong, not a drop was left!
"Great! That's great!" Liu Haidong led the applause.
The rest of the people also cheered in admiration.
After drinking two ounces of wine, Liu Haidong spoke more casually, completely without the reserved look he had in the afternoon.
He pointed at the luxuriously decorated restaurant and said, "Brother Li Lin, to be honest, I have a standard for receiving guests at Long Jian. There is one standard for guests from the province, and another standard for guests from the city and county."
"Today, in order to welcome you, brother Li Lin, I have specially used this room to entertain provincial and ministerial leaders. It is no exaggeration to say that Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee, Governor Zhao, and Deputy Secretary Tu... have all had meals in this room!"
"Brother, you can understand my feelings, right? I treat you as my own brother, and I attach great importance to your coming!"
Although Liu Haidong's words were a bit rough, the meaning he expressed was truly moving.
Knowing that Li Lin was only a township-level cadre, Liu Haidong still treated him with provincial and ministerial level treatment. Doesn't this demonstrate his sincerity?
Li Lin smiled sincerely and said, "From the first step I took into Longjian Group, I felt Mr. Liu's attention and respect for me, Li Lin. I am grateful. I will drink one too. Thank you Mr. Liu and everyone for your hospitality!"
Li Lin stood up calmly, and in front of everyone's surprised gazes, he once again took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Two sips of half a catty of wine, you call it indulging? Everyone stared in disbelief, and then they realized that Li Lin was just being modest.
When he finished his glass of wine, everyone present cheered again.
Just at this moment, the sound of "tapping tapping" of high heels came from far away.
Soon, a woman in a plain dress and light makeup appeared in front of everyone.
When Li Lin saw the person coming, the expression on her face was a little unnatural, because the person coming was her high school classmate, the eldest daughter of Longjian Group, Liu Yuan, who once loved him to death.
Liu Yuan walked in with a smile. She came to toast the distinguished guests at Liu Haidong's order.
However, when her eyes locked on Li Lin, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat, the smile on her face froze immediately.
Li Lin? Why...why is he here?
Could he be the distinguished guest from the county that my father mentioned?
She looked incredulous, and felt as if she was in a dream, as if she was hallucinating!
She tried hard to wake herself up, but no matter how she rubbed her eyes, Li Lin was sitting right in front of her.
She stood there in a daze, at a loss for a moment.
Liu Haidong felt very dissatisfied when he saw Liu Yuan with a dazed look on her face.
His daughter is usually a little bit temperamental, but she is always smart and well-behaved at work. What happened today?
She had never been so rude when she toasted Secretary Wang and Governor Zhao before!
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing standing there? Come here!" Liu Haidong hurriedly waved to Liu Yuan who was standing at the door.
