Since there was a formal welcome banquet in the evening, no one drank any alcohol at noon. They just had a simple meal. The comrades from the Gegang delegation and the large-scale working committee were assigned to different rooms to rest.

Lin Zhiyuan was afraid that Director Guo would cause trouble again, so he pulled Bai Yuquan to his room to chat.

After the two entered the house, Bai Yuquan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lin Zhiyuan had a cold face, "What are you laughing at?"

"What's there to laugh at?" Bai Yuquan said it was nothing, but he laughed louder and louder, until his whole body was shaking.

Lin Zhiyuan was so angry that he twisted his arm and held it behind his back, "Why are you laughing when there is nothing to laugh at?"

"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle!" Bai Yuquan begged for mercy loudly, "Zhiyuan, you are still as charming as before! You attract bees and butterflies wherever you go."

"You're talking nonsense. If you dare to say that again, I'll break your arm."

"What? Are you trying to silence me? Director Guo was so eager to feed you the food. Who at the table couldn't see that? It's not enough for you to kill me alone."

Lin Zhiyuan was furious and increased the force on his hands. Bai Yuquan could no longer laugh and kept begging for mercy.

It has been a long time since the two of them had such a joke and playfulness.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Nong's soft voice sounded again, "Assistant Lin, have you rested? I'm Guo Xinyi!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Zhiyuan let go of Bai Yuquan and then made a threatening gesture of wiping his neck.

Bai Yuquan nodded repeatedly, and Lin Zhiyuan turned around to open the door. Guo Xinyi was standing at the door with a plate of fruit and a sweet smile on her face. "Assistant Lin, I hope I didn't disturb your lunch break! I'll bring you some fruit."

"How can this be so embarrassing? Aren't there service staff? How can we trouble Director Guo!"

"Those waiters are rough and clumsy, I'm afraid they won't be able to serve the leaders well."

Although Lin Zhiyuan was standing at the door and his refusal was obvious, Guo Xinyi still squeezed towards Lin Zhiyuan and said, "I don't know what the hotel room conditions are like. Don't treat me badly, leader. Let me check it out."

Lin Zhiyuan was so scared that he quickly dodged. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise Director Guo would have really fallen into his arms.

When Guo Xinyi entered the room and saw Bai Yuquan, her expression changed immediately. "Director Bai is here too. Are the two leaders discussing work?"

Bai Yuquan knew that this was not the time to joke around, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Director Guo, I will report my work to Assistant Lin."

"What a coincidence! I also want to report to Assistant Lin about the work of our Bincheng State-owned Assets Management Bureau!" Guo Xinyi put the fruit plate on the coffee table and quickly glanced at Lin Zhiyuan with her bright eyes. "But since the two leaders are already discussing work, I will look for Assistant Lin when I have time."

Guo Xinyi apologized and left the room.

Lin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa with his legs spread out.

Bai Yuquan came closer again, "Zhiyuan, Director Guo is really good-looking. Didn't you see the way she looked at you just now? She was about to shed tears. I really envy your luck with women."

"Your luck in love may turn into your misfortune. Yuquan, you must not make mistakes in life! Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Bai Yuquan touched his head and laughed at himself, "I still have self-awareness. It's not easy for me to make this kind of mistake, unlike you, who can do it easily."

"roll!"

At six o'clock in the evening, Mayor Sun of Bincheng City appeared at Bangchuidao Hotel. Before the welcome dinner, he had a long talk with Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Shuguang.

Mayor Sun wanted to do his best to promote Ge Gang's acquisition of Bincheng Steel Plant. He told Bai Shuguang that the Bincheng Municipal Government welcomed all businessmen who wanted to invest in Bincheng, including state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises. The city would provide a series of preferential policies to speed up the acquisition. At the same time, Mayor Sun also hoped that after the acquisition was successful, Ge Gang would be able to fully accept the employees of the previous Bincheng Steel Plant and absorb as much local Bincheng labor as possible in the future.

Bai Shuguang made a promise on behalf of Ge Gang on the spot, "Mayor Sun, don't worry, Ge Gang's acquisition is not only for the development of the company itself, but also hopes to use this acquisition to improve the level of Bincheng's steel industry, increase employment and tax revenue, which is the responsibility of state-owned enterprises."

"I feel relieved with what Mr. Bai said." Mayor Sun turned to look at Lin Zhiyuan again, "Assistant Lin, I heard that you are also a cadre who graduated from Gegang, and you are the pride of our Donghai. I also hope that Assistant Lin can help the economic development of our hometown in the future and help us introduce more large enterprises to Donghai."

"Mayor Sun, you are too kind. I dare not be the pride of Donghai, but I always keep in mind my job responsibilities. The large-scale working committee is to serve the local area and enterprises. If there is a chance, I will definitely create more such opportunities for my hometown."

Bincheng is a separately planned city and the most economically powerful city in Donghai Province. The Party Secretary and Mayor here are both at the vice-provincial level and are directly managed by the central government. To be the mayor here, you need a certain level of ability.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, which even exceeded the time limit. The conversation only came to an end when the hotel manager personally invited them to the banquet hall.

Compared with the welcoming banquet at noon, the dinner was of a higher standard and both the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves very much.

The next day, Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Shuguang declined Bincheng's invitation to travel and started working directly.

The two drove directly to Bincheng Steel Plant to conduct field research.

Thanks to the active cooperation of Bincheng, the preliminary research work was completed smoothly and the two sides soon entered the substantive negotiation stage.

According to the current work progress, if the asset audit of Bincheng Steel Plant goes smoothly, the two parties will be able to complete the acquisition before March.

At the end of December, Lin Zhiyuan returned to Ge'an with the members of the large-scale working committee. Bincheng was basically a done deal, and the rest was just a matter of following procedures and relying on time.

Lin Zhiyuan reported to Li Zhenshan, who agreed to Lin Zhiyuan's request. Other comrades of the large-scale working committee returned to Yanjing first, while Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Yuquan continued to stay in Ge'an. They would not leave until Gegang officially signed the contract with the German side.

This is exactly what Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Yuquan meant. With this arrangement, the two of them can stay in Ge'an to celebrate the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Day, Lin Zhiyuan and Su Jin took Ah Su out shopping.

Su Jin was in high spirits. She sat in the back holding her daughter and kept pointing at the buildings on the roadside. "Ah Su, do you still remember this hospital? When you were sick as a child, your parents brought you here for injections."

Asu shook her head in confusion. She was only two years old when she left Ge'an. How could she have any memory of it?

However, Su Jin took the time to point out the buildings on the roadside and tell her daughter about the past.

It wasn't her daughter's memory she wanted to evoke, but her own.

In this city, there are the shining footprints of her and Lin Zhiyuan along the way.

Looking at her daughter's fair face, Su Jin silently said in her heart, "Daughter, I hope you can be as lucky as me and find a man who loves me as well as I do."
