Bazhong City has leapt from a third-tier city to a nationally renowned second-tier city in just one year. If it were not for the geographical intercalation, it might even have become a first-tier city. This is naturally due to the strong rise of Shenlong Group.
Therefore, the municipal party committee and government attach great importance to Shenlong Group.
Not only leaders at the municipal level, but even leaders of the provincial party committee frequently come to Shenlong Group for inspection.
The inspection is just an excuse. The main purpose is to support the Shenlong Group, to bring the two parties closer together, and to see if the group has any preferential policies or special requirements from the government. As long as it is what the Shenlong Group needs, the government will definitely do everything possible to meet it.
There is no way, who can blame the Shenlong Group for being so domineering? In just over a year, it has grown into one of the world's top 500 companies and is ranked extremely high.
The city's GDP also suddenly soared, and then the province's GDP also soared.
It’s all because of Shenlong Group.
The reason why Shenlong Group has set up its headquarters and several major factories in the small mountain city of Bazhong is, of course, because the big boss Tang Xiaobao is nostalgic for his hometown. Many people know this, but the vast majority of people find it difficult to understand and even think that Tang Xiaobao is a bit short-sighted.
The provincial party committee suggested that Tang Xiaobao move the company to Chengdu, where transportation is more convenient. Officials from other first-tier cities also came many times, hoping that Shenlong Group would relocate the company to their first-tier cities. For this purpose, they offered many extremely generous investment conditions. Unfortunately, Chen Mengyao rejected them one by one.
In this regard, Chen Mengyao actually supports Tang Xiaobao.
The provincial party committee also attached great importance to this, fearing that Shenlong Group would not be able to resist the temptation. Not only did it repeatedly increase the preferential treatment for Shenlong Group, but it also replaced Bazhong with a new secretary.
Huo Guangdi.
The former secretary of the Mianyang Municipal Party Committee was airlifted to Bazhong City a few months ago.
It can be seen that the provincial party committee and government attach great importance to Bazhong City.
Before taking office, Huo Budi was summoned by several members of the provincial party committee for a heart-to-heart talk, and they all mentioned the same issue.
After arriving in Bazhong, we must maintain good relations with Shenlong Group.
Huo Guangdi was not discouraged because Bazhong City was inferior to Mianyang City in all aspects, nor did he feel aggrieved at all. He was not a fool and knew that this was the leader's attention to him.
After arriving in Bazhong, Huo Guangdi visited Shenlong Group three times in just half a year, and naturally, he also became friends with Chen Mengyao.
Huo Guangdi was a little surprised and even more delighted when he suddenly received a call from Chen Mengyao today.
When Huo Guangdi learned that it was Tang Xiaobao who wanted to invite him to dinner, he agreed immediately.
Huo Guangdi put down the phone, his face still filled with excitement. He called out to the door, "Xiao Li."
His secretary, Li Rui, who was also the director of the First Secretary Department of the Municipal Party Committee, hurried in. Seeing that his boss looked happy today, he was also a little curious and said with a smile, "Boss, what's going on?"
As Huo Guangdi's secretary, Li Rui was naturally his trusted and beloved general. The two were inseparable every day and had a very good relationship. When there were no outsiders present, he would just call him boss. This was a habit in official circles.
Huo Guangdi checked the time and said, "Please notify the driver, Xiao Liu, to come pick me up right away and take me to a dinner party at the Jiangbei Hotel."
Li Rui was stunned.
Dinner party?
What kind of dinner party could make the boss so happy?
"Boss, the Standing Committee meeting is going to be held at 6 o'clock. Also, Director Feng from the Finance Bureau is coming to report on his work. He's already waiting upstairs."
Li Rui said.
Unexpectedly, Huo Guangdi simply waved his hand and said, "Call Xiao Liu first and have him drive over immediately. Then notify Mayor Li and the other members of the Standing Committee and tell them that I have an urgent matter. The Standing Committee meeting will be postponed to tomorrow morning at 9:00. As for Director Feng, you can find a time when you are free and give him half an hour."
Li Rui was a little shocked.
Such an important meeting of the Standing Committee had to be postponed to tomorrow, and Huo Guangdi and Mayor Li were not getting along with each other... He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Because he was Huo Guangdi's confidant and there were no outsiders around, he casually asked, "Boss, is this appropriate? I'm afraid Mayor Li will ask for it again later..."
He didn't finish his words...
Huo Guangdi smiled and said, "Let him do whatever he wants. Today's dinner is very important. It's Tang Xiaobao from the Shenlong Group. We must attend on time. Let's go and do it quickly."
Li Rui was also shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but said in surprise, "Ah, Tang Xiaobao? He has never eaten with government officials before. Okay, I'll do it right away."
Indeed, Tang Xiaobao is a mysterious person who is hard to find. He usually hates dealing with government officials. Even the big men in the municipal party committee and government don't have the chance to see him often, let alone have dinner with him.
When we arrived at Jiangbei Hotel, the manager was already waiting there.
"Hello, Secretary Huo, Mr. Tang and Mr. Shen are waiting for you in the Rose Hall."
The manager was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was extremely beautiful and this was not the first time she had met Secretary Huo. She smiled respectfully and led the way.
"Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, Secretary, please come this way."
Jiangbei Hotel has a total of four special private rooms, and the Rose Hall is one of them. It only receives some dignitaries and is not often open to the public. If you don’t have some connections, you can’t get in here.
After knocking on the door, the manager heard someone inside calling for someone to come in. He then opened the door and invited Huo Guangdi and Li Rui in.
Huo Guang saw Shen Mengyao at first sight. Next to Shen Mengyao sat a heroic young man, who was Tang Xiaobao.
He immediately stepped forward, shook hands with Tang Xiaobao, and said with a very cordial smile, "Boss Tang is truly an elusive figure. I've been in Bazhong for half a year, but this is the first time I've met you. Nice to meet you."
Tang Xiaobao also smiled and said, "Secretary, you are very busy. I hope I didn't interrupt your work today."
Huo Guangdi shook Tang Xiaobao's hand vigorously, then said with a smile, "My job is to serve the people. How can I be held responsible? Mr. Tang, please take a seat."
Then he shook hands with Shen Mengyao again.
Li Rui also stepped forward to shake hands. He was considered a secretary of the municipal party committee and a rising star in the political arena. He was a favorite of the secretary and had seen many big scenes. He should have been calm, but how could he be calm now? When he introduced himself, he was so excited that he was incoherent.
Everyone sat down, and the manager then asked Shen Mengyao, "Boss Shen, can we serve the food?"
Chen Mengyao nodded.
Soon, someone started serving the dishes, and two bottles of Moutai were also placed on the table.
Tang Xiaobao was about to stand up to pour some wine, but Huo Guangdi glanced at Li Rui, who then reacted and immediately grabbed the bottle and started pouring the wine.
That's what secretaries do.
Although he reacted quickly, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in Huo Guang's eyes.
