It was noon. Yu Xiubo whispered in Li Lin's ear, "Secretary Li, we are done now. Should we go back?"
Yu Xiubo's voice was low, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Facing Long Jian's top executives, he was still a little restrained, especially in front of Liu Haidong, the CEO of a listed company worth tens of billions, he always felt uncomfortable.
After all, when he and Jiang Weihua came to Long Jian before, they had witnessed Long Jian’s arrogance firsthand.
The feeling of being despised and ignored made him feel from the bottom of his heart that he was more than half a head shorter than Liu Haidong.
Li Lin was talking to Liu Haidong at the time. Hearing Yu Xiubao's reminder, he paused slightly and looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock. It was indeed time to go back and report the results of the battle to Liu Yong and others.
I guess at this moment Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan are already waiting in the hotel, eagerly waiting for Li Lin to bring back good news.
Li Lin was about to get up, but Liu Haidong quickly grabbed his arm and stopped him from leaving.
"Secretary Li, lunch is ready. Let's drink a few glasses at noon today. You must give me this face!" Liu Haidong's tone was sincere and enthusiastic, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Li Lin declined politely, "We can't drink at noon. The county leaders are still waiting at the hotel. We can drink again some other time when we have time."
Li Lin's expression was calm and firm, and he seemed very unfazed by Liu Haidong's attempts to keep him.
"How can that be possible?" Liu Haidong quickly leaned close to Li Lin and whispered mysteriously, "I asked someone to prepare a secret dish for lunch! It's specially for you, brother. Don't let my kindness go to waste!"
Liu Haidong had a mysterious smile on his face, as if the secret dish was a rare delicacy in the world.
Secret dishes and the like were not very attractive to Li Lin. He turned around and glanced at Yu Xiubo and the others, and saw that everyone nodded and smiled at him, their eyes full of expectation, and they were obviously happy to have a meal at Longjian.
Liu Haidong immediately understood and hurriedly walked to Yu Xiubao, held his hand and said affectionately, "Brother Yu, right? It's not easy for you and Secretary Li to come to Longjian, so I have to do my best to be a good host. Secretary Li also said that we won't drink at noon, just eat, so please give me some face, okay?" Liu Haidong's attitude was cordial and enthusiastic, which made Yu Xiubao flattered.
Yu Xiubo looked at Li Lin in embarrassment. He couldn't make the decision! So he smiled and asked Li Lin's decision with his eyes.
Li Lin smiled and turned to say to everyone, "Since Mr. Liu sincerely invites us, let's have lunch here."
Li Lin's tone was relaxed, as if this was just a very ordinary decision.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiubo smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your warm hospitality. Thank you... hehe..."
He was extremely excited at the moment. He never dreamed that one day Long Jian’s boss would shake his hand and invite him to stay for dinner.
This is a world of difference from the treatment I received when I came here with Jiang Weihua in the morning.
At the same time, he was also a little confused. How could Liu Haidong, the boss, be so respectful to Li Lin, a township-level cadre?
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it. The more he thought about it, the more curious he became about Li Lin's background.
He squinted his eyes, stared at Li Lin's back in a daze and laughed, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing that Li Lin agreed, Liu Haidong seemed particularly happy. He asked everyone to sit down again and asked his men to refill everyone's tea.
Then he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Li Lin with a smile, "Secretary Li, I have another suggestion. Why not invite Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Ma from your county to have a meal together? After all, Longjian and Shannan County are now relatives, and they will meet sooner or later!"
Liu Haidong was smiling, his eyes showing sincerity and expectation.
Or maybe Liu Haidong was very good at handling things. His proposal directly raised Li Lin's status in Longjian Group.
When Jiang Weihua came before, he didn't even have a meal. Now that Li Lin came, he not only prepared secret dishes, but also took the initiative to invite Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan to come and eat together.
It not only demonstrated Long Jian's hospitality, but also brought glory to Li Lin.
Li Lin agreed, so he turned around and said to Yu Xiubo, "Director Yu, I'll call Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Ma, and you send someone to drive back to pick up the two leaders."
Before Xiu Bo could reply, Liu Haidong immediately stopped him and said, "No need, we have plenty of drivers at Longjian. I'll send someone to pick him up."
He turned to Liu Haiwu and said, "Haiwu, take two people to the provincial hotel to pick up Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Ma. Remember to drive the company's best car. Do you hear me?"
Liu Haiwu nodded like pecking at rice, "Brother Xing, I'll leave now!"
...
Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan were still waiting for Li Lin's response in the hotel.
It's already past eleven o'clock and there is still no news. Could there be another accident?
The two of them were speechless and could only drink tea while waiting silently.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing. Liu Yong looked out the window from time to time, while Ma Qingyuan kept fiddling with the teacup in his hand.
Just at this time, Li Lin called.
Liu Yong quickly answered the call and asked expectantly, "Xiao Lin, how is things going?" There was a hint of anxiety and nervousness in his voice.
"The cooperation agreement has been signed. Now Mr. Liu from Longjian wants to invite you and County Magistrate Ma to meet and have a simple meal together. I wonder if the secretary thinks it is appropriate?" Li Lin asked calmly, as if it was not a big deal.
After all, Liu Yong was not invited in advance, and I called him to invite him to dinner at the last minute, and I was afraid that he would feel embarrassed and unable to refuse.
