Xu Yillong knew that Qian Lingyun had already made his decision by inviting him to dinner. If he could hold out for one more round, he would probably be able to completely win the Shannan Ancient City project.
On the way to the cafeteria, Xu Yillong and Qian Lingyun were walking and chatting in front. After a few words, Xu Yillong slowed down and walked side by side with Li Lin.
He smiled and said to Li Lin, "Brother, you are quite direct in your words, but I like it. There are not many cadres as upright as you nowadays. However, doing so can easily offend people and is not conducive to your own advancement. It is better to be more tactful."
Li Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are exaggerating. Sticking to the bottom line is the basic ethics of every cadre. Most of our cadres in Pingyang can do things with impartiality. As for offending people... it is normal to offend a small number of people in order to protect the interests of the majority. If you don't even have this determination and ruthlessness, you don't deserve to be called a leading cadre."
Li Lin's words were very high-pitched. If you didn't hear them with your own ears, it would be hard to believe that they came from the mouth of a young man in his twenties.
Xu Yilong's father Xu Yongchang often used these kinds of big-picture, high-level words to criticize him.
If Li Lin lives in the Xu family in the future, the two of them, one old and one young, will definitely be able to chat with each other...
Qian Lingyun and Tang Yiming were walking in front, seemingly chatting casually, but their attention was all on Xu Yillong and Li Lin behind them.
Hearing the two of them chatting so casually and relaxedly, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Xiaolin and Xu Yillong knew each other before?
I haven't heard Xiaolin mention it either...
Zhao Chengyi, Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan returned to Shannan in shame.
He organized his words and, under the watchful eyes of Cao Ziming and the other man, dialed Zhai Yuhan's number.
The moment the call was connected, his body collapsed into a straight line, which showed how much he was afraid of Zhai Yuhan.
"Brother Han, something unexpected happened."
"What accident?"
"Xu Yilong is also competing for the Shannan project!"
"Who? Xu Yillong? Damn, why would he go to Shannan County?" Zhai Yuhan was stunned, his face full of surprise.
Zhao Chengyi asked, "What do you think we should do next?"
Zhai Yuhan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that his father has a close relationship with Wang Jin. If we compare backgrounds, we have already lost a move!"
"Then what about us...?" Zhao Chengyi asked cautiously.
Zhai Yuhan then said, "If you can't compare your background, then let's use some tricks..."
Zhao Chengyi changed the call to speakerphone mode. Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan also pricked up their ears to listen to what big brother had to say.
Zhai Yuhan chuckled and said, "Check the company behind Xu Yilong and expose his dirt! Then find someone to spread the word in the media, saying that Xu Yilong used his connections to engage in unfair competition... Lead the public to speculate that he and Pingyang's Qian Lingyun are a community of interests... The bigger the fuss, the better."
"In this case, the Pingyang Municipal Committee will definitely try its best to distance itself from Xu Yilong in order to maintain its credibility. By then, won't we be able to re-enter the Shannan project by changing companies? Haha, maybe we can take the opportunity to alienate the relationship between the Xu family and Wang Jin... In the future, no one will be able to compete with us for projects in Hanjiang! Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Zhao Chengyi and the other two nodded continuously and praised Zhai Yuhan's methods.
Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan smiled at each other and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Zhai Yuhan's strategy. "Big Brother is Big Brother. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he takes action, he can overturn the situation! This is a brilliant move!"
night.
Xu Yillong returned to his temporary rental "base camp" looking a little tired.
At this time, his good friend and partner, another young man from Beijing, Qu Xiuwen, had rushed to Pingyang from the provincial capital.
As soon as they met, Qu Xiuwen asked with a little confusion, "Brother Long, did the talks go wrong?"
Xu Yilong smiled and said, "Qian Lingyun insisted on giving us only two-thirds of the project, and also wanted us to pay a deposit of 100 million first... Based on my usual temper, I really wanted to flip the table on the spot... But I didn't want to give up the project so easily, so I kept holding it in, holding back a lot of anger... Haha... When have I ever been so passive in front of a department-level official!"
After understanding the whole story, Qu Xiuwen said with a smile, "Ah, this is really difficult for our Master Xu. If this deal fails, I will use all my connections to replace Qian Lingyun! I will help you vent your anger... By the way, I heard there is also the Shannan County Magistrate, right? Replace him too and send him to a barren land to relieve the hatred in your heart, Master Xu!"
Hearing Li Lin's name, Xu Yilong said hurriedly, "No, no, no... I have nothing to say if you replace Qian Lingyun, but don't touch Li Lin!"
Li Lin?
This was the first time Qu Xiuwen heard this name, but he immediately understood that the county magistrate of Shannan was called Li Lin.
He smiled and joked, "How rare! Why would Master Xu speak for a department-level cadre? What means did he use to win you over?"
The two are good friends who can talk about anything.
Xu Yilong laughed and said, "Li Lin is one of us. He is Wenwen's boyfriend."
ah?
Wenwen’s boyfriend?
Qu Xiuwen was so shocked that his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist.
He sat down in front of Xu Yilong and asked in surprise and curiosity, "Quick, quick, tell me, who is this Li Lin, and how could he catch Wenwen's eye?"
Xu Yilong spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "I don't know what the hell! Wenwen has set her sights on this guy! Some time ago, she even cried and begged me to go to Secretary Wang and plead for Li Lin... She said that if I didn't help Li Lin, she would not recognize me as her brother... Alas, girls grow up and become unpredictable... I am helpless and sad... My beautiful sister was kidnapped inexplicably... To be honest, I really want to beat this guy up to vent my anger, but I dare not..."
Qu Xiuwen was so happy after hearing this that he couldn't straighten his back...
He laughed loudly, "You, the sister-loving maniac, are now reaping the fruits of your own labor, right? You watched Wenwen being kidnapped, and you just stared at her helplessly, unable to hit or scold her... Hey, this Li Lin is so lucky, he will be able to rise to prominence when he marries into your Xu family! By the way, what kind of person is he? Since you have this relationship, why didn't he speak up for you today?"
Xu Yilong sighed and said, "It's not that he doesn't support me, but Wenwen hasn't told him about our Xu family's family background until now. He doesn't even know that I'm Wenwen's brother! Oh... Although I know about this relationship, I can only pretend that I know nothing, otherwise Wenwen will be so angry that she will break off relations with me! I can't break this window paper, and if anyone wants to break it, it will be Wenwen..."
Qu Xiuwen widened his eyes in surprise, shook his head slowly, and said in disbelief, "I've only read about princesses hiding their identities to recruit princes in books before, and I thought it was all made up by the ancients. I didn't expect that I would actually see it with my own eyes today... The ancients were not deceiving me! Wenwen is really romantic... If Li Lin knew in the future that Wenwen was the daughter of the director of the State Taxation Bureau, how shocked he would be! It's exciting just to think about it..."
Xu Yilong smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense... I have to call Wenwen to talk things over. She doesn't even know that I met Li Lin yet!"
As he spoke, Xu Yillong walked into the bedroom, took out his cell phone and called Xu Wen.
