First Secretary of Rebirth

Not long after Ling Wei came back from the capital, the central government issued a document on the establishment of a pilot project for private financing and construction of high-speed highways in Yingzhou.

For a while, the official circles in Yingzhou were almost boiling. No one knew where Mayor Ling got so much energy to be personally received by the Prime Minister.

Needless to say what Sun Zhou felt like, Li Zhihe, who was the first to approach Ling Wei, seemed to have eaten ice cream in the dog days, and anyone could see the refreshment on his face.

"Mayor, I heard that this time in Beijing..." A group of people were waiting in the waiting room for the plane to Hong Kong City. Li Zhihe was naturally closer to Ling Wei because he was a member of the Ling faction.

Ling Wei waved his hand and said, "Comrade Zhihe, the establishment of the pilot project by the central government is to protect the corresponding state, but it will take at least three to five years for this matter to bear fruit. We have a heavy burden on our shoulders."

Ling Wei was very grateful for Prime Minister Wei's support, but it was precisely because of his gratitude that he understood the weight of this support.

Seeing that Ling Wei didn't want to continue talking about the capital, Li Zhihe's face was a little embarrassing.But then his mood cleared up again. Did you see that, even when he was interviewed by the Prime Minister, he was calm as usual. Mayor Ling's bearing was very incomparable.Being able to work with such a mayor has a bright future!

Seeing Li Zhihe and Ling Weiyan laughing at Yanyan, Sun Zhou felt a little blocked.

Ling Wei didn't mention the matter of meeting the Prime Minister in the capital beforehand with anyone. Later, he tentatively inquired about the news from He Chaoyang through Liu Duan, and the result surprised him. There was no sign of this meeting, which means that the Prime Minister He thought of Ling Wei, and then randomly called him over.

What kind of opportunity is it to make an impression in Premier Wei's eyes.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhou's mouth became bitter, because with the favor of Prime Minister Wei, Ling Wei's position in Yingzhou was further consolidated. Originally, he wanted to start with his economic problems and find a way to prevent him from participating in the National People's Congress. The plan to be appointed by the mayor had to die down.

He has already seen that unless there is a problem with Yingzhou Expressway and Yingzhou Port, Ling Wei's position in Yingzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai.

But now the construction of the expressway has just started, and the investment promotion work of Yingzhou Port has not yet started. It will be three years before Ling Wei has achieved results. Whoever moves Ling Wei in the past few years is a fool.Because Yingzhou's development path was formulated by Ling Wei, this development blueprint has already received the support of the central government, and it is the young mayor who wants to do this well.

Apart from lamenting that he was born at an untimely time, Sun Zhou also had to suppress other thoughts.Based on his current position, if he wants to stay in Yingzhou, he must assist Ling Wei to boost Yingzhou's economy. As for the future... Sun Zhou's eyes darkened. If Ling Wei really has a problem, the fox tail Sooner or later it will be revealed.

What he can do now is to try to express himself, and to wait patiently for the opportunity.

In the journey of everyone's thoughts, Hong Kong City is already in sight.

"Tired?" He Chaoyang asked in a low voice as he picked up Ling Wei's luggage.

"I'm fine." Ling Wei shook his head and smiled decently at the manager of Zhou's public relations department who came to pick him up.

Because they borrowed the Zhou family's relationship in Hong Kong, Yingzhou and his party had communicated with Zhou's public relations department beforehand. Zhou Ximu couldn't reveal his relationship with He Chaoyang, so he only sent a deputy to pick them up. machine.

"Little San didn't come." He Chaoyang curled his lips.

"Didn't you not let him come?" Ling Wei glanced at him while shaking hands with him.

They were speaking in Mandarin, and Manager Mai from the PR department couldn't hear clearly. Seeing that He Chaoyang was following Ling Wei, his expression froze, and he wanted to shake hands with him instinctively. He Chaoyang shook his head, and followed Ling Wei forward.

Manager Mai is not very clear about the relationship between He Chaoyang and Vice President Zhou, but he once followed Vice President Zhou to the capital to work for a period of time. This tall young man was drinking with Vice President Zhou at that time. He has great respect for this man, so although Manager Mai hasn't seen He Chaoyang for several years, this time he recognized him at a glance.

Under the reception of Manager Mai, the group entered the hotel where they were staying.

As a secretary, He Chaoyang lived in a business suite with Ling Wei. As soon as he entered the door, his cell phone rang.

"Second Brother, are you here?" Zhou Ximu's elegant voice came into his ears.

"You don't come out to greet your brother when he arrives, you're getting fatter!" He Zhaoyang joked.

"I'm going to the airport to pick you up, you have a problem, and I don't show up, you have a problem, why is it so difficult to be a younger brother?" Zhou Ximu laughed.

"Come on, I can't say no to you." He Chaoyang smiled and said, "We'll talk when we meet tonight."

"it is good."

Hanging up the phone over there, Ling Wei also came out of the bathroom here.

"Xi Mu?"

"Yes." There were drops of water on Ling Wei's forehead that were not wiped clean, He Zhaoyang took a towel and wiped it carefully for him.

"There's still time, let's take a bath." The weather in Hong Kong City is very hot, and Ling Wei has always been a clean person.He Chaoyang patted his head and said, "I'll prepare clothes for you."

Ling Wei originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of attending the welcome dinner hosted by Zhou Ximu in the evening, it was natural not to be rude.

He Zhaoyang found a change of clothes, and while pushing him into the bathroom, he laughed in a low voice: "Do you want me to go in and serve you?"

His answer was a door that slammed shut.

Let him serve the bath, whether he can attend the dinner party is unknown.

The dinner held by Zhou Ximu was Chinese style, maybe it would make all the officials in Yingzhou feel friendly.

"Mayor Ling, hello." Zhou Ximu stood at the door of the banquet hall and greeted Ling Wei with a smile.

Ling Wei looked at him calmly. Although he was a cousin, Zhou Ximu's appearance did not have much similarities with He Chaoyang. Among the brothers of the He family, He Yuwu was majestic and He Chaoyang was domineering, while Zhou Ximu in front of him had Exhibiting a kind of aristocratic temperament that can only be cultivated by a big family in the Hong Kong city.

He was smiling, very elegant, but there was a hint of alienation in his extremely modest smile.This is an indescribable sense of distance, maybe because of his temperament, maybe because of his family background, in short, Zhou Ximu gives people the feeling that he looks very friendly but is very difficult to get close to.

However, no matter how high-end Zhou Ximu was, when he saw Mayor Ling and Secretary He, his overall demeanor gradually disappeared.At this moment, the smile on his face is sincere and earnest, even when shaking hands with Ling Wei, he even winked playfully at He Chaoyang.

"Let me go." It's enough to hold it, but how about holding on to it?

He Zhaoyang glared at Zhou Ximu, reached out and grabbed his opponent's hand and shook it hard.

Has this person eaten gunpowder?Zhou Ximu felt wronged, he glanced at Ling Wei, and then at his second brother, this was the first time he met Ling Wei, can second brother stop being so stingy?

"Brother, Secretary He." While the two were still fighting, Ling Kai walked over from outside with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Kai." Glad to see his younger brother, Ling Wei dragged him inside to talk, leaving the He brothers on the spot.

"It's all you." He Zhaoyang exerted more strength before releasing Zhou Ximu's hand.

This is when a daughter-in-law forgets her younger brother, Zhou Ximu had no choice but to endure being squeezed into a white hand, and smiled and greeted the Yingzhou officials who came in one after another.

The official dinner was carried out according to the procedures. After Zhou Ximu took the stage to express the welcome of the corresponding state officials, Ling Wei took the stage to express his gratitude to Zhou for his warm reception.

Seeing Ling Wei and Zhou Ximu having a happy conversation, the officials in Yingzhou knew that Ling Wei had a close relationship with the future head of the Zhou family, and everyone couldn't help but change their minds for a while.

Why didn't I see that Mayor Ling was coming unusually before?Although he did a good job in Jianghai before, he didn't show his background.But since he arrived in Yingzhou, first Governor Li, then Premier Wei, and now even the little prince of the Zhou family has treated him with courtesy.

I heard that Mayor Ling's family doesn't have any foundation in Guangning. What is the chance for him to be favored by so many big shots?

The wider Ling Wei's contacts, the happier Li Zhihe will be.In contrast, Sun Zhou's mood was even more complicated.The Zhou family had sent people to Yingzhou to inspect the land before, but they couldn't reach an agreement. Although it was only the manager of a branch of Zhou's company, Li Weifeng still put on a very high standard to receive him.Now the next head of the Zhou family actually wants to take the initiative to match up with Mayor Ling, such a relationship...

"This is Mr. Sun Zhou, our executive deputy mayor of Yingzhou," Ling Wei smiled and introduced Sun Zhou and Zhou Ximu, "Mayor Sun will be mainly responsible for attracting investment to Hong Kong in the future, please take care of us. "

"What does Mayor Ling say? The development of Yingzhou is always on the mind of even grandpa. I will definitely try my best to help."

"Then thank you very much Mr. Zhou." Sun Zhou hurriedly toasted Zhou Ximu with a glass of wine.

Zhou Ximu clinked glasses with him, then turned around and continued socializing with Ling Wei.

Although he is very concerned about Yingzhou's affairs, Zhou's is not the main investment target of Yingzhou Port, and the public relations department of Zhou's is also doing all the contact with the business community in the port city. Courtesy enough, but not warm.

Sun Zhou also knew that his relationship with Zhou Ximu would be disgusting, so he could only watch Zhou Ximu follow Ling Wei to greet the officials of Yingzhou one by one. This feeling of being behind everyone could only be suppressed in his heart taste.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to rest, while Ling Wei and He Chaoyang followed Zhou Ximu to his private house.

Ling Kai went to the airport by car after meeting Ling Wei. He still had work to do and had to take a late flight to the United States.Ling Wei watched his younger brother's spiritual temperament rise to a new level, and his whole body also glowed with unprecedented confidence. It must be hard work working with Zhou Ximu, but if the ability is improved, it is definitely worth it.

"How is Ling Kai doing at work? Did it cause you trouble?" Ling Wei asked.

"He is very good, very down-to-earth and hard-working." There are many smart people in this world, but what is rare about Ling Kai is that he is smart and not impetuous.Perhaps, this is the trait of the Ling family?

Zhou Ximu didn't live with his grandfather, he lived in a villa facing the sea.

As soon as He Chaoyang entered the door, he took off his shoes and got into the kitchen, not knowing what he was doing.

"Mayor Ling, please drink coffee." Zhou Ximu invited Ling Wei to sit on the sofa and poured Ling Wei a cup of coffee.

"Are you looking for death? Drink coffee for my family Ling Wei at night." The coffee is very fragrant, and someone's dog's nose can smell it immediately. "Serve hot milk tea."

"Got it!" Zhou Ximu yelled inside, and made an apologetic gesture to Ling Wei.

Ling Wei was embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I can drink anything."

"I have a bad stomach, and I'm still trying to be brave." Someone ran to the kitchen door and gave Ling Wei a look.

Even though Mayor Ling maintained his composure, he was at a loss for what to do by his unabashed intimacy.

Zhou Ximu went to the bar to make milk tea in person, and said with a smile while making it: "This time, Mayor Ling should have a taste of my craft."

"Let's find a cigarette," someone said dissatisfied again, "Brother."

"Brother Ling Wei? Brother Ling? Brother Wei?" It's been a long time since I saw He Chaoyang, and Zhou Ximu also became mischievous. While combining various names, he casually called out, "Second sister-in-law?"

puff!The mouthful of water that Ling Wei had just imported spewed out with a puff.

"Damn you!" He Chaoyang came out with a tray, and when he saw Ling Wei was choked, he immediately glared at his younger brother accusingly, "You Ling brother is a man, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ximu shrugged with a smile, "Anyway, the identity of the second sister-in-law is here, so I'll get used to it in advance."

"Hmph," He Chaoyang put the tray in front of Ling Wei, and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to his nonsense, didn't you eat enough just now? I cooked seafood noodles for you."

"Brother, where's mine?" Zhou Ximu's milk tea was ready, he watched the two of them meet and started to eat noodles, he couldn't help turning his head to look, it seems that this is his house, right?His brother's dominance over the past few years has not changed at all.

"Not for you."

"Brother!" Zhou Ximu looked at his brother eating noodles, and couldn't help but feel black, "Use my kitchen, my pot, and my bowl..."

"Huh? Do you have an opinion?" Second Young Master He raised his eyebrows, and took a mouthful of face very, very showily.

Zhou Ximu completely lost the inherent image of a nobleman in front of his brother, and saw Vice President Zhou squatting in front of his brother in a very unscrupulous manner, looking at the bowl of green and white seafood noodles overflowing with fragrance, swallowing involuntarily.

He hasn't eaten the noodles cooked by his brother for two years, it's strange.

"Brother, give me a bite."

With Zhou Ximu's matchmaking, the business circles in Hong Kong City have more or less given some face.

"Mayor Ling, it seems that the business community of Hong Kong City is very interested in our joint venture project in Yingzhou Port!" Li Zhihe looked at the guests from Hong Kong City who kept coming, and his tone was a little excited.

Ling Wei nodded, and followed Zhou Ximu's introduction to greet the business people in Hong Kong City one by one.

"Brother Ling, there are a lot of people here who are here to join in the fun, and there are actually only three families who are interested in corresponding to Zhougang." Zhou Ximu introduced him and explained to him in a low voice.

"Don't talk about three, even if one can make it, I will be satisfied."

"You don't pursue too much." Zhou Ximu smiled and glanced at him, Ling Wei was ashamed, why didn't he find that Zhou Ximu's elegant appearance also buried a stinky soul?

No wonder when he praised Mu's elegance and temperament yesterday, Zhou Ximu's second elder brother, his pillow man He Ershao curled his lips. Does that mean elegance and temperament?That's a stylish pretense, right?

This, this... is there such a brother?Ling Wei carefully recalled the growth experience of him and Ling Kai, and found that he had never experienced a brotherhood like He Er and Zhou Ximu complaining about each other.But He Er also said that whoever grows up with bare buttocks, the other party's embarrassing things and bad things have all been witnessed, not to mention temperament, even if you put gold on your face, you can only see gold Get off that muddy monkey face.

"Laugh if you want to, I won't stop you." Zhou Ximu said helplessly.

Because his brother loves Mayor Ling so much, he probably knows all about the embarrassing things that happened since he was a child.Zhou Ximu lamented that He Chaoyang had a wife and forgot his brother, and continued to introduce Ling Wei with an elegant smile.

The two were chatting with a businessman who was interested in the corresponding state, and the conversation was getting better, but there was a commotion at the entrance.

Zhou Ximu's slender eyebrows raised, as if a big shot had arrived.

Sure enough, following people's gazes, a tall figure walked over slowly.

"Mr. Tang! You're here, so welcome!" Zhou Ximu smiled brightly, and after apologizing to the merchants, she took Ling Wei to greet her.

The Tang family is a well-known shipping family in the port city. The Tang family's shipping reaches all major ports in the world. The Tang family is also known as the ship king of the port city.

Among the three companies introduced by Zhou Ximu that are interested in Yingzhou Port, Tang Corporation is the most powerful among them. If Tang Jiayuan intends to invest in Yingzhou Port, then the investment promotion plan for Yingzhou Port has already been half successful.

"Mr. Zhou, hello." Tang Jiayuan smiled and shook hands with Zhou Ximu, and greeted, "How is Director Zhou?"

"Very good, thank you Mr. Tang for your concern."

The two stood together to greet each other, and the two future heirs of the family attracted all the attention in the venue.Ling Wei stood aside, looking at the two of them quietly, wondering if the upper-class people in Hong Kong City were like Tang Jiayuan and Zhou Ximu, with outstanding looks and elegant personalities.Perhaps because of the age difference, Tang Jiayuan was even better than Zhou Ximu in terms of demeanor.

Noticing Ling Wei's gaze, Tang Jiayuan immediately turned his gaze.

"This is..." His eyes were deep, as if he had the power to see through people's hearts.

Ling Wei's heart tightened, and he quickly calmed down.

"Let me introduce you to you two," Zhou Ximu said with a smile, "This is the mayor of Lingwei who came from Yingzhou, and this is Mr. Tang Jiayuan, the executive vice president of Tang Shipping."

"Mayor Ling, hello." With a smile on his face, Tang Jiayuan stretched out his hand to Ling Wei.

Ling Wei stretched out his hand to shake it back, the man's fingers were slender and his palm was warm, but Ling Wei still felt the thin calluses in the man's palm the moment he shook hands.

"Curious?" Ling Wei's eyes showed doubts, and Tang Jiayuan seized the opportunity sensitively.

This mayor from the mainland was different from the government officials he had met before. His temperament was not at all like those scheming politicians. If he was a university teacher, Tang Jiayuan would be more convinced.

Because he was a little curious about Ling Wei, Tang Jiayuan naturally observed a little more, and the more he observed, the more he liked him.

Ling Wei didn't notice Tang Jiayuan's thoughts, but because of Tang Jiayuan's kindness, his attitude towards him became even more enthusiastic.

This is a big client that Yingzhou strives for, and it doesn't hurt to make people laugh twice more.However, Mayor Ling's smile had a different charm in Tang Jiayuan's eyes. He didn't realize it. The cat in the corner couldn't sit still.

"What is this person's background?" After Ling Wei took Tang Jiayuan to chat with Sun Zhou, He Chaoyang dragged Zhou Ximu aside to question.

"The second child of the Tang family, the actual controller of Tang's shipping." Zhou Ximu said truthfully.

The Tang family is a big family in Hong Kong City, and the internal relationship is intricate, but no matter how complicated the relationship is, it can't compete with Tang Jiayuan's unique influence in the Tang family.Because Tang's Shipping had a business crisis more than ten years ago, if Tang Jiayuan, who was only 20 years old, was not ordered to withstand the joint attack of several opponents, I am afraid that Tang's Shipping today has changed hands.

Since then, Tang Jiayuan has become famous in the first battle, and through more than ten years of hard work, Tang Shipping has gradually transformed from a family business into a modern company with a reasonable system.

In his thirties, his prestige in the Hong Kong city is almost as famous as some of the older generation of tycoons. Even Zhou Ximu has to admit that compared with Tang Jiayuan, he is still not as popular.

"Damn, the way he looks at Ling Wei is very unusual." He Chaoyang didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Tang Jiayuan smiled especially at Ling Wei.

"Brother, are you mistaken?" Zhou Ximu took a few glances and found that Tang Jiayuan treated Ling Wei no differently from others.

"Can I still be wrong?" As he said, he squeezed towards Ling Wei. This Tang family looked like a big boss from afar, and he had to watch his wife more closely.

"I never heard that Tang Sheng has that hobby." Zhou Ximu reminded in a low voice.

"If you don't have that hobby, you have to guard against it."

As soon as He Zhaoyang walked to Ling Wei, Tang Jiayuan said to Ling Wei: "I'm very interested in what Mayor Ling introduced. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"What does Mr. Tang mean?"

"I still have a business meeting going on. Time is limited so I can't discuss this project in detail. If you have time, how about coming to my office tomorrow morning to talk?"

Obviously Yingzhou was looking for cooperation opportunities, but Tang Jiayuan said so, it seemed that Yingzhou was already on an equal footing with Tang Corporation.

Tang Jiayuan is showing kindness, and Ling Wei has already felt it.

"I am honored to visit your office, Mr. Tang."

Tang Jiayuan looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him, a slight appreciation flashed in his eyes.However, his experience has helped him hide his emotions well. After shaking hands with Ling Wei to say goodbye, Tang Jiayuan left calmly.
