Chapter 27 Gao Jie's Blind Date
Zhang Zhuoyang cannot say that he doesn't believe what Li Rui said at all, at most he is half-believing and skeptical! However, he is still very interested in the commercial real estate project of the textile factory, otherwise he would not have come from Hong Kong far away. Of course, he also has his considerations. First, the idea of this commercial real estate project is very attractive. Second, the land price is not high, and even if the real estate market falls into a long-term downturn, it will not lose money, especially when there is no project for the capital recovery, it is no big deal to try the water.
"The fourth brother, you are so optimistic about the real estate market, why don't you jump out and work with me? You are so willing to stay in Pengcheng! Even if you want to stay here, you will be responsible for the textile factory project after negotiation."
"Don't go! I'll only be responsible for introducing you and Zhao Wenlong's relationship later. I don't care about the specific matters between you." Li Rui shook his head and then asked back: "Boss, do you think it's better to have power or money in our country?"
Zhang Zhuoyang didn't say anything. It's good to have money, but he has power, especially in this country. Money is subject to the constraints of power. He can make money because he is a child of the Zhang family. Once he lacks the basis for power, money is just a passing cloud.
Li Rui knew what Zhang Zhuoyang was thinking. If he had asked him to choose now, he might have chosen another way.
"I have also thought a lot in the past six months. I want to say that the little money I earned in your company alone is enough to make my life very good now, but what do I really want? I just thought it through some time ago that I want to have a good time in the officialdom and see if I can make a name for myself." Li Rui said.
Zhang Zhuoyang looked at Li Rui and was silent for a while before sighing: "Fourth brother, you have to think clearly. It is not easy for you to walk this path!"
Of course, Li Rui could understand Zhang Zhuoyang's subtext and smiled and said, "I just wanted to try it. If it really doesn't work, I will come to you later."
Since Li Rui said that, Zhang Zhuoyang could only change the topic: "How about Zhao Wenlong? I'm still a little daring to choose this commercial real estate project at this time."
Of course, Li Rui knew Zhao Wenlong. The success of Huazhongcheng in his previous life was there. How could a person from a grassroots background be an ordinary person? So he introduced Zhao Wenlong's situation and specially mentioned his fish farming theory.
"This Zhao Wenlong is interesting. His fish farming theory has similarities with your view on land acquisition just now. No wonder you have to help him like this." Zhang Zhuoyang laughed.
The meeting between Zhang Zhuoyang and Zhao Wenlong was very pleasant. The next day, he accompanied Zhao Wenlong to see the textile factory plot. After a simple exchange, Zhang Zhuoyang immediately decided to cooperate with Zhao Wenlong. On the third day after Zhang Zhuoyang returned to Hong Kong, a team of Tengfei Group flew to Pengcheng to start negotiations with Zhao Wenlong and preparations for preliminary development.
"What, are you going to have a blind date again?" One afternoon, Li Rui received a call from Gao Jie, "That didn't succeed last time? I thought you had already lived together."
"The dog can't spit out ivory." Gao Jie cursed on the phone, and then said, "You don't know that I'm so annoyed during this period. My mother has found many people to introduce me to a partner. Today this was introduced by Commander Li of the Military Sub-district. I want you to go over and help me with the staff."
"No? You are so old, and you still learn from those little girls to deliberately treat me as a shield!" Li Rui was surprised.
When he heard Li Rui say that she was old, Gao Jie was immediately stimulated and said, "What's wrong? So what's wrong with me? Do you want to help this in one sentence? If you don't help, we won't know each other in the future."
Li Rui gently slapped her mouth, and she was also a slut. Any woman who would like to hear someone say she was old and hurriedly said, "Okay! You talk about the time and place, I'll arrive immediately."
Since last time she met in Huazhongcheng, this is the first time Gao Jie called over. When she heard that she had failed to date in front of her, she forced herself to be a shield again. Not only did Li Rui not disgusted, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
The blind date was arranged in the Western restaurant on the second floor of the International Hotel. When Li Rui arrived, Gao Jie was already waiting at the hotel gate. He was a little surprised to see him coming with a 212.
"I haven't seen each other for a few days, I've been in a car family!" It was obvious that Li Rui would come, and Gao Jie was very happy.
"Would you be afraid that others will see you when you stand outside like this?" Li Rui said.
Gao Jie curled her lips and said, "I made an appointment at six o'clock. Now it's past, so I guess I've been waiting on it."
Li Rui thought about it and was right. It is a woman’s patent for being late for dating.
He followed Gao Jie to the second floor, stood at the entrance of the stairs and looked for it, pointed to a man sitting on the side and said, "It's him. I'll go there later. You can walk in after five minutes. Then we will pretend to meet by chance, and then I'll invite you to sit with us."
Li Rui looked carefully and found that although he couldn't see the full picture clearly, the man looked only in his thirties, with his waist straight and his hands on his knees.
"He's a soldier?"
Gao Jie nodded and said, "A adviser to the 12th Army is said to have just returned from studying in Russia."
"Soldiers, staff, overseas returnees. That's a bright future! If you take a look at it later, I won't really become a light bulb!" Li Rui said deliberately.
Gao Jie beat him and said coquettishly: "Where do you come from so much nonsense? You can fall in love with me in a few minutes. You think I am. I will go there first, remember for five minutes!" As he said that, Gao Jie's expression was closed, she straightened her chest, and walked slowly into it. A graceful and noble temperament arose.
Li Rui lit a cigarette and leaned on the handrail at the stairs. There were not too many people in the Western restaurant. Gao Jie was sitting intently facing him. Seeing Gao Jie sitting there upright, her exquisite makeup showed her every frown and smile, showing the charm of a mature woman. The longer she spent time together, the more she felt that his resistance to Gao Jie was slowly weakening. If such a beauty was that, it would be too that way, but if she really wanted that, the risk was too great. Li Rui felt that she felt uncomfortable.
After smoking a cigarette, Gao Jie had already looked here twice. Li Rui smiled and sorted out his clothes, and slowly walked into the Western restaurant.
"Hey! Li Rui is so coincidental, you are here too." Seeing Li Rui walk in, Gao Jie couldn't wait to get up and say hello.
"Yes, Gao Jie, you are here too." Li Rui walked over with a smile.
At this time, the noble blind date partner, the staff officer of the 12th Army, also stood up.
"Let me introduce it. This is my friend Li Rui and this is Liang Jun." Gao Jie introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Li." Liang Jun greeted Li Rui with a smile.
The word "sir" came from a soldier, which surprised Li Rui a little. He looked at it carefully. He saw a big man about 1.80 meters tall, with a burly figure, a angular face and a very sharp gaze.
"Hello Comrade Liang Jun." Li Rui said intentionally.
Liang Jun shook hands with Li Rui unexpectedly. The title of sir is still relatively trendy in China now, and the young man in front of him didn't even respond.
"Li Rui, are you alone? Let's sit together." Gao Jie quickly continued to invite.
"Is it too disturbing?" Li Rui said deliberately, and while Liang Jun was not paying attention, he still squeezed at Gao Jie.
Gao Jie secretly gave him a blank look and said enthusiastically: "Don't disturb, don't disturb!"
Listening to the interaction between the two of them, Liang Jun was stunned again, but he had to invite him immediately, "Comrade Li, just sit together."
Li Rui sat down next to Gao Jie. The two of them sat together, and Liang Jun was opposite each other, and the scene seemed a bit inconsistent.
The waiter came over to order food, and Liang Jun ordered a 50-minute cooked steak and borscht. Li Rui couldn't help but think: I really came back from Russia, and the bloody Russians' eating habits.
Gao Jie held the order book and discussed with Li Rui in a low voice, "I think you order Formosa Plastic Steak. The beef steak is grilled and tastes good. I've eaten it."
"I'm not familiar with this place anyway, just help me decide." Li Rui smiled.
Seeing the two of them looking intimate, Liang Jun opposite felt a little unnatural, coughed, and asked, "Come on a bottle of red wine?"
"What do you think?" Gao Jie deliberately looked at Li Rui for advice and said, as if they were just a couple.
"I have no objection." However, Li Rui thought that he was playing the role of a disruptor today, and deliberately said: "But I can't get used to that thing, so the waiter gave me a bottle of Moutai."
With a "puff", Gao Jie couldn't help laughing, and when she found that it was inappropriate, she hurriedly said, "Forget it, I don't want it anymore, just have a glass of orange juice."
"Sorry, sir, we don't have Chinese liquor here." The waiter said on the side. He also thought that this customer was very strange today, so he didn't ask for Moutai when he went to a Western restaurant for dinner.
Before Li Rui could speak, Gao Jie next to him shouted: "What's going on here? You don't have it here, there won't be a Chinese restaurant next to you! How to do business, it's not flexible at all." In an instant, the originally graceful and noble aura suddenly disappeared.
"I'm sorry, I'll ask the manager for instructions." The waiter said quickly.
