When Su Nuan came out of the study, it was already lunchtime, so she went straight downstairs to the restaurant to eat.
After lunch, Su Nuan took Chen Meirong to the study.
The writing on the invitation cards that had been written earlier was almost dry, and Su Nuan said to Chen Meirong while holding the draft list.
"According to this list, divide it into three groups. I will personally deliver the invitations to the first few people. You will deliver the invitations to those in the middle who have dealings with the Su family later. The majority of the invitations to the latter group are merchants and executives who have cooperated with the Su Group. Chen Yunlong will be responsible for delivering them. Make sure to deliver all the invitations this afternoon."
After Chen Meirong took the list, she immediately gathered all the invitations together. She quickly divided all the invitations into three parts according to the list, and handed the part of the invitations that Su Nuan was responsible for directly to Su Nuan.
"The Lantern Festival is just a few days away. Everything that needs to be prepared needs to be done within the next two days. If you have any difficulties, please come to me. I hope nothing goes wrong with this banquet. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Miss, I will do it."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll make a phone call and then I'll be out."
Su Nuan came out of the study and called the mayor's office directly. Secretary Li answered the phone. After learning that the mayor was free in the office, he made an appointment to visit him later. Later, several city government leaders and the military district commander called. After everyone made an appointment, Su Nuan got up and went back to the room to change into going-out clothes, put on some light makeup, put the invitation in her handbag, went downstairs and asked Johnson to drive her out.
The first place they had to go was the city government, and the first person they had to visit was Mayor Wang. The car stopped at the door of the city government. After greeting the guard, Su Nuan took Johnson directly upstairs to the mayor's office.
When they arrived at the office door, Secretary Li received them.
I was very familiar with Secretary Li, so I spoke directly without any formalities.
"Secretary Li, Happy New Year! It's not the holiday season yet, so I'm here to wish you a happy new year and success in your career."
After saying that, he took out a red envelope from his bag and handed it to Secretary Li.
Secretary Li was a little stunned by Su Nuan's actions. After he came to his senses, he wanted to refuse directly.
Su Nuan blocked it back. "This is a New Year's greeting, I can't refuse it. I wasn't in Shanghai during the New Year this year and didn't come to pay New Year's greetings. I'm sorry for not being polite. I'm giving you a red envelope to show my appreciation."
Secretary Li had no choice but to accept the red envelope.
"Comrade Su, what brings you here today?"
"It's something. After the Su family returned to China, the city government leaders helped them a lot. This year, they went to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. It was rude of me not to greet the mayor and other leaders. The Lantern Festival is coming soon. I am planning to hold a cocktail party and invite all the leaders to celebrate the festival together. This is the invitation for you, Secretary Li. Please come on time. I will go in and give the invitation to Mayor Wang first."
Secretary Li took the invitation and said he would arrive on time, then watched Su Nuan knock on the door and enter the mayor's office.
After Su Nuan entered the office, she exchanged a few pleasantries with Mayor Wang and explained her purpose.
Mayor Wang agreed without hesitation. The reason why he agreed so readily was that in addition to the huge amount of financial support that Su Nuan provided to Shanghai, which improved his political achievements, Su Nuan was also very considerate in his dealings with others. Mayor Wang also wanted to make close friends with Su Nuan, so he had to attend the first banquet hosted by the Su family.
In the early days of reform, the country was in the early stages of economic development, and there was no such taboo about exchanges between officials and businessmen as in later generations. That's why Su Nuan asked the city government leaders to attend the banquet without hesitation. With the endorsement of the city government's attendance at the banquet, the Su family could not be underestimated in the Shanghai business community even though they had just returned to China.
The goal was achieved. Before leaving, Su Nuan asked Johnson to send two boxes of tea to Mayor Wang. The tea was from an ancient tea tree. Mayor Wang was also a tea lover. Tea was not a valuable item. It would not have any impact to collect some tea during the Spring Festival. When he heard Su Nuan say that it was tea from a century-old tea tree, he accepted it without hesitation.
After coming out of the mayor's office, Su Nuan asked Secretary Li that the other municipal leaders he was familiar with had all gone to work today, so he took Johnson and knocked on the doors of other leaders' offices. The leaders who received the invitation were very happy and said they would attend the banquet on time. Before leaving, Su Nuan also left some New Year gifts.
After leaving the city government, there were only a few invitation letters left in Su Nuan's bag, so she asked Johnson to drive directly to the Shanghai Military Region.
