I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

Licheng Restaurant.

As an old hotel in Yihe District, Songjiang City.

As the financial crisis gradually spreads to the entire industry, it is normal that business dinners have become less frequent.

However, business tonight seemed unusually slow. It seemed that except for two tables of guests in the largest private room, there were no other guests on the entire second floor.

There were no fewer waiters on the second floor than usual. From the staircase, the lobby to the private rooms, nearly twenty people were busy.

"Yixin, have you confirmed with Jiang Hao? Can he arrive in the evening?"

Outside the box, Uncle Ren was in unusually high spirits tonight.

A standard slicked-back hair and a pair of silver-framed glasses match his already gentle face.

Although he was dressed simply in work clothes, his elegant and mature temperament was fully displayed.

"Dad! I've already contacted Brother Jiang!"

"He left half an hour ago, but there was a bit of traffic on the road. He should be here soon."

Compared to Uncle Ren, Ren Yixin looks really handsome when standing next to him!

He is about 1.8 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, having just shaved his head in the summer.

Sure enough, not everyone can pull off a buzz cut.

Ren Yixin's short haircut perfectly displays the advantages of his facial features.

After getting married, her temperament has become much more stable than before.

Looking at his son, who has changed so much in the past few years since returning to China, Uncle Ren couldn't help but feel a flash of pride in his heart.

On this occasion today, he, who usually seldom praises his son, spoke up for no reason.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work today!"

"Dad, why am I working so hard!"

"Yes! Dad, this is what Yi Xin should do."

Zhou Qianqian beside him helped Ren Yixin to refuse.

Compared to Ren Yixin, she dresses much more youthfully and beautifully.

A white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts.

The only difference is that there is a pink bear pattern embroidered in the center of the white short-sleeved shirt.

There was also a pink braided rope on her wrists and a pair of pink shoes on her feet.

Compared to the past, her clothes nowadays are becoming more and more youthful, and she is becoming more and more obsessed with girly pink.

"Qianqian, I'll have to trouble you two tonight. Please arrange for the guests to be seen off then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his hand rang, and he hurried inside to answer it.

Ten minutes later, almost all the guests at the two tables in the box had arrived.

Of course, there are still about ten minutes until the agreed dinner time.

At the main table where Uncle Ren was sitting, except for two empty seats next to Secretary You, all the other seats were full.

Faced with the two empty seats at the table, the guests present were extremely patient.

They chatted with each other while waiting for someone to come.

Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door.

The first person to enter the room was Ren Yixin. After bringing Jiang Hao and Yu Xintong in, he sat down at another table.

At this moment, all the guests' eyes were focused on the two of them.

The people at Uncle Ren's table stood up one after another and sat down with Jiang Hao and the other two.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry to everyone, the road is a bit congested! I'll drink three glasses of wine first!"

"Mr. Jiang, you're welcome! You arrived a few minutes early! Right? Lao Ren?"

Secretary You next to him was the first to speak, and at the same time threw the words to Director Ren.

"Yes! Jiang Hao, you're welcome, I'll treat you tonight, it's delicious!"

"Haha! I haven't congratulated you on your promotion, Uncle Ren!"

"I will have to rely on you, Uncle Ren, to take care of my business in Songjiang City from now on."

That’s right, today’s dinner is actually Uncle Ren’s promotion banquet.

As Mayor You was promoted from mayor to top secretary, Uncle Ren, the director of the tax bureau, naturally also rose in status.

In less than two months, he was promoted to deputy mayor of Songjiang Municipal People's Government, mainly in charge of financial work.

In fact, most of the people in the box today are Uncle Ren’s relatives.

Only the table where Jiang Hao sat was filled with government leaders he was familiar with.

"How can I take care of you? Haha! You still have to take care of the city and provide more jobs!"

Uncle Ren began to decline at this moment, and the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became heated.

"Boss Jiang, your Sea Whale Technology is developing really fast! In the blink of an eye, it has reached a scale of over 1 billion."

Although Uncle Ren hosted the dinner, it was Secretary You who mainly communicated with him.

Jiang Hao and Deputy District Chief Lu had tacitly not had much contact since they were placed under double supervision.

This dinner was the first time Jiang Hao communicated with Secretary You in the past two months.

“Haijing is a track that I have already planned and anticipated.”

“It developed so quickly in the early stages, which was a bit beyond my expectations.”

Secretary You raised his glass again and asked tentatively.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, in the current environment, there are not many Internet companies with such a good momentum as Haijing!"

"Are you interested in continuing to invest in the software industrial park in the south city?"

The word "continue" is said in a rather implicit way. After all, although the last investment was led by Jiang Hao, the company has nothing to do with him now.

Secretary You also deliberately avoided the word "Chichiro" at the dinner table.

Under the financial crisis, the bubble of chinchillas was naturally burst.

From its high of $33, the stock market value totaled over $900 billion, and then plummeted all the way.

It is now worth only US$14, which has fallen below the issue price, and its market value has fallen back to RMB 380 billion.

Moreover, the stock price is still falling, which means that it has completely returned to the market value that Totoro should have!

Anyway, this loss is now fully borne by Tencent.

In this game, Jiang Hao could be said to have escaped half a year in advance, reaped the lion's share of the profits, and was not affected by the economic crisis at all.

"Secretary You, to be honest, Haijing has no intention of expanding at the moment, and the funds raised in the A round are not much. If we invest in the industrial park..."

"Don't worry about the funding. Our government will help you!"

Secretary You quickly brought up the government's reason at this moment, hoping to help him dispel his inner concerns.

It is really rare that the government can lend funds to his company at this point in time!

However, Jiang Hao's plan against the sea whale had never considered taking such steps. It would be too fast and he would not be able to run steadily!

"Secretary You, Haijing has no such idea for the time being, but after the B round or the next C round, there will be an intention to expand."

"If the timing is right, the next phase of the Software Industrial Park project can be started by Haijing."

Secretary You nodded in understanding when he heard this and raised his glass again.

While drinking, he also winked at Uncle Ren.

Sure enough, Uncle Ren soon took over the topic from him.

"Jiang Hao! Uncle and you have known each other for many years."

"Life is not easy in the city and the province right now!"

"Companies outside are closing down one after another, and there is no way to stop it."

After all, it was Uncle Ren who asked him to do so, so Jiang Hao was willing to accept the advice Uncle Ren gave him a few months ago.

Today is the day when Uncle Ren and Secretary You were promoted.

If I mention this to him specifically, I'm afraid it might sound like a political task.

Under the current adverse environment, the government must be having a hard time. I hope it can make some investments to boost the economy.
