"Okay, very good! Lao Ji, you must take this opportunity to find a way to keep Red Sea Electronics. I will ask for credit for you at that time, hahaha... OK!"

"What's the matter? So happy!" Cen Aini asked with a smile.

Gao Changlong returned to the dining table and sat down, "Oh! Lao Ji called just now and said that Tai Tianming, chairman of Taiwan Red Sea Electronics, will go to Nanqiao for inspection next week. Red Sea Electronics is preparing to build a new factory in our province. It is said that the total investment is at least more than 50 million US dollars. This is a big deal. If this project can be taken down, our entire city's task of attracting foreign investment today will be completed." Gao Changlong said, his face unable to contain his smile.

"I think you officials are becoming more and more like businessmen now." Cen Aini smiled.

"Hey, that's right for businessmen. Now we focus on economic development and everything serves economic development. If an official is not like a businessman and still holds the same old style, then he will not be a qualified cadre who adapts to the new era."

Gao Changlong said as he looked at his daughter who was eating, and smiled and said, "If you want to say that young man Li Rui is really good. Last time Lao Ji told me that he would adjust the plan for the construction pilot of the Qingshanquan Town Small Town, which is said to be proposed by Li Rui. Although the plan is forward-looking, I am still worried that they can realize this plan without the support of a large industry. Now it seems that I am over-considering. Their actions are very fast, so that they can attract large companies like Honghai Electronics to come for field inspections so quickly, and they are also preparing to introduce a large cement factory. As long as one of these two projects is implemented, the pilot project of the construction of this small town will be very successful."

Gao Changlong usually rarely talks about work at home, because Li Rui had to say a few more words today, but Gao Jie seemed to have never heard of it and had no reaction at all. Instead, Cen Aini asked Gao Jie with concern: "How are you and Li Rui now? Why haven't you heard you mention him recently?"

"Not suitable!" Gao Jie looked up and replied.

"Not suitable?" Cen Aini was surprised when she heard this, "Why is it not suitable? You have been getting along well before, what's going on? Have you two quarreled?"

"Mom!" Gao Jie put down her job impatiently, "Please do not control my affairs in the future? I am so adult, wouldn't I know what to do?"

"No, I just care about you. It turns out that I have introduced several of you to you, but you don't like any of them. I've gotten along with Li Rui, why are you..."

Before Cen Aini finished speaking, Gao Jie suddenly stood up and said, "I'm full, you can eat slowly." Then she turned around and left.

"You..." Cen Aini said halfway, and watched Gao Jie go upstairs, sighed and said to Gao Changlong: "Old Gao, look at your daughter, now... I don't know what to say about her!"

Gao Changlong also felt very strange. Although the relationship between Gao Jie and Li Rui was not officially revealed, he had already acquiesced in his heart. What's more, this young man Li Rui is not bad in terms of work ability or other aspects. He also felt very satisfied, otherwise he would not have mentioned it at home today.

"Think about it, I haven't seen her come back in the past month. Could it be that there is something wrong with the two of them?" Cen Aini recalled carefully.

"She is almost thirty years old. Can't she handle her own affairs well? Don't be fooled by it." Gao Changlong was also quite depressed.

Cen Aini argued: "It's because she's almost thirty, are you just watching her stay single? This woman is a hurdle for giving birth to a baby. If she's over thirty, she's an elderly mother. And the older she gets, the greater the danger. Can I just ignore it?"

"What do you think you should do?"

"What should I do?" Cen Aini looked at Gao Changlong with dissatisfaction, "Don't always work all day long. You have to be concerned about your daughter's affairs. She has listened to you since she was a child, so you can't take some time to talk to her, and hear what she was thinking, and whether there was really something wrong with her and Li Rui."

Gao Changlong frowned and pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "Okay! Find time for me to talk to her."

...

"Gao Jie, are you free this weekend? I made an appointment with Lao Zhao and the others to go to Pengshui to eat local dishes. Then I will come to your bureau to pick you up?"

"It's a weekend... I'm sorry, I've agreed to have dinner with her at home."

"That's it... OK, Sunday, let's go out together on Sunday, go shopping or watch a movie, are you okay?" Because of the change in noble attitude during this period, Li Rui tried to make his tone very gentle and humble.

"Forget it, I want to rest well at home on Sunday, but I don't want to move." Unfortunately, Gao Jie refused him like the previous two weeks.

"Gao Jie, what's going on? Is it because I am a descendant of the Zhang family that you don't want to pay attention to me? I've told you a long time ago that the Zhang family now has no relationship with me except my sister-in-law and Zhang Zhuoyang. See if you know me and I have gained some wealth from the Zhang family? I don't want to live under their shadow, nor do I want to gain any wealth from them. I want to live my own life. Do you think I used to be false to you? I tell you that I'm serious, I just want to be with you and live with you. I really don't understand what you think now, is it okay to say it? We can face it together and solve it together." Li Rui finally couldn't help it and whispered to the phone.

Gao Jie obviously didn't expect Li Rui to suddenly explode. She was silent for a long time before saying, "Li Rui, please let me think about it again, okay?"

Li Rui took a breath and said, "Okay, but you have to give me some time. Is one month enough?"

"good!"

Li Rui was still a little unwilling to give up and quickly added: "If you are because of the Zhang family, I advise you not to do this. I still say the same thing, I have my own life, and my marriage is not something they can interfere with, nor can they interfere with..."

But before he finished speaking, the other party hung up from the phone.

"Damn!" Li Rui suddenly raised his phone and wanted to smash it on the ground, but he thought that it was not easy to buy a phone these days, and he kept in touch with Ma Wenjie all the time these days, for fear that Red Sea Electronics would be in trouble, so he could only retract his hand and throw it on the table, cursing with great depression: "It's paralyzed, what's this all!"

The emotional dissatisfaction did not affect Li Rui's work. On Monday, Ma Wenjie accompanied Tai Tianming and his party to Qingshanquan Town for inspection. Li Rui received the news the day before and immediately contacted Yu Shungen and Yang Chao, and rushed to the toll station of the national highway early to greet him. Ma Wenjie and Tai Tianming and his party set off from the provincial capital Jiangning along the Jingming (Yanjing to Mingzhu City) Expressway, which was just opened to traffic last year, to the only county-level city under Pengcheng, get off the expressway, and then transfer to the national highway. It took more than five hours to get the nearly 400-kilometer journey, and it was already past twelve o'clock when they received it.

They drove a seven-seat bullet of a three-star Dodge, and in addition to Ma Wenjie and Tai Tianming, they also had two followers.

"Li Rui, let me introduce you to you. This is Mr. Tai Tianming, chairman of Taiwan Red Sea Electronics Group; Mr. Tai, this is my child, Li Rui, secretary of the Party Committee of Qingshanquan Town, Nanqiao County." Ma Wenjie introduced the two.

In fact, when Tai Tianming got off the car, Li Rui had already recognized him. Although he had never met him face to face in his previous life, as a storied figure in the industry and business world, he often saw him on TV, the Internet and the covers of financial magazines. However, Tai Tianming looks very young now. Li Rui estimated that he is only in his early forties, tall and handsome.

"Hello, Mr. Tai!"

Li Rui stretched out his hand enthusiastically. Tai Tianming seemed a little surprised at Li Rui's youth. He has been investing in the mainland for six years and is very familiar with the situation in the mainland officialdom. It is rare for a full-level cadre to be so young, not to mention that he is the party secretary of a town. Moreover, he heard Ma Wenjie introduce that Qingshanquan Town is also a pilot project for the construction of a small town in the province, which shows the status of Qingshanquan Town in the local area.

However, the look of surprise was fleeting in his eyes. He held Li Rui's hand and said politely: "Hello, Secretary Li."

Then, Li Rui quickly introduced Yu Shungen and Yang Chao to Tai Tianming and Ma Wenjie respectively. Ma Wenjie was a little surprised. After all, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the executive deputy county magistrate came to the county boundary to greet him in person in the scorching sun. This is very high! However, Tai Tianming looked like he had seen the world and naturally shook hands with Yu Shungen and Yang Chao and said hello.

"Mr. Tai, Mr. Ma, you must be tired after being exhausted, right? We have prepared a lunch at the county guesthouse to wash the two bosses." Yu Shungen said with a smile.

Facing Shungen's kind invitation, Tai Tianming looked embarrassed and said, "Secretary Yu and County Magistrate Yang, I'm really sorry. The two leaders are despicable. But this time we have a tight schedule and we will rush back tonight, so I think we'd better go to the scene first."

What's going on? It's nearly 800 kilometers back and forth, and you're going back that day? Tai Tianming's words made Yu Shungen, who was originally full of hope, Yang Chao, including Li Rui, feel very surprised. At the same time, they also have an ominous feeling. Li Rui quickly turned his eyes to Ma Wenjie, but saw that he looked a little embarrassed and kept winking at him.

"Secretary Yu and County Magistrate Yang, it's really a short time for us to come here this time. Mr. Tai will fly to Taipei early tomorrow morning. Don't be polite, the two leaders, I'd better hurry up and go to see the scene." Ma Wenjie then stepped forward and explained.

"Okay, okay, then let's lead the way and go directly to Qingshanquan Town. But you always have to eat, right?" Yu Shungen was very experienced after all, and said with a smile.

"We have eaten some dry food on the road. It's okay, but work is more important." Although Tai Tianming's tone is very polite, he always gives people the feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away.

"What's going on? It seems that they have no sincerity at all!" Yu Shungen said to Li Rui with obvious displeasure after getting in the car.

"I don't know what's going on. When Mr. Ma called me yesterday, he said that Tai Tianming was very moved by the land price we reported. As far as I know, they were optimistic about Wushan City in southern Jiangsu before, but the land price there was four times higher than what we claimed, 80,000 yuan per acre! The same two thousand acres of land, the price difference is 120 million. They invested in business to make money, not to do good deeds, and this benefit is obvious, not to mention that the transportation conditions here are not much worse than those in Wushan City. If they really don't have sincerity, why are they still coming to investigate? I guess they want to deliberately take us to get some benefits in future negotiations." Li Rui said while thinking.

In fact, although that's the case, Ma Wenjie kept winking at him just now. He hadn't tasted it yet, and he didn't know what Ma Wenjie meant. Is there really something wrong with it? He was also very confused.

Yu Shungen thought about it and did make it so. His face finally felt relieved. He laughed and said, "These businessmen are full of twists and turns in their stomachs. If you want to get some more benefits, just say it! Just for their investment of at least 50 million US dollars, can we still agree?" As he said that, he took out his elder brother from his bag, "Secretary Ji is still waiting to entertain them. I have to report to him first and say hello."

It is not difficult to hear from the phone call from Yu Shungen to Ji Faling that Secretary Ji also had doubts. Yu Shungen explained what Li Rui had just said to Ji Faling. After putting down the phone, he let out a long sigh, as if comforting himself: "I hope they want to take us on purpose."

Then he turned his head to the secretary Xiao Wang sitting in the back seat and said, "Xiao Wang, do you have anything to eat? It's almost a little bit, and I'm already hungry."

Xiao Wang quickly took a plastic bag from the shelf behind the back seat and said, "Secretary Yu, there are a few packs of instant noodles."

"Take it over and eat it for a few bites, and it's better to have a hungry place." Yu Shungen shook his head helplessly.

Li Rui also took a pack and started gnawing with mineral water. When he came here today, he wanted to report to Yu Shungen about the pilot situation of village affairs disclosure, so he got on Yu Shungen's car. Fortunately, there were a few packs of instant noodles on Yu Shungen's car, and I don't know if Yang Chao behind had anything to cushion his stomach.
