Chapter 8: We are friends

It was raining for two consecutive days, and when I woke up today, it was sunny outside, but Dongfang Wenying's mood could not be bright at all.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Mingyang called her, and the voice was filled with unbearable fear. The matter had been revealed. Although Secretary Xu personally took it to the meeting and said it, he still insisted that it was broken in Zhao Jianhui's hands. If Secretary Xu was a goshawk lurking in the secret to hunt, why was it so coincidental?

Why doesn’t something happen if Zhao Jianhui doesn’t come to Guangdong without taking the inspection team? He is like a person who is just absent-minded in the two provinces of Yun and Qian. He leaves in each province for less than three days, but he has been lingering in Guangdong for eleven days now and has no intention of leaving.

Secretary Xu took this matter to the Standing Committee and said what it means? In order to save the face of the provincial party committee and government, the matter will be handled by Nanyue Province itself? But no matter who handles this matter, he can no longer distinguish it from the relationship.

Now, the only person who can save himself is Zhao Jianhui.

So, after talking about the situation, he said in a roundabout way: "Wenying, you'd better consider your suggestions carefully. I insist on not changing the original plan. Then taking Zhao Jianhui first may be our only way out. I don't want to force you, but I can't do anything. My clay Buddha crosses the river and I can't save you anymore. You can do it yourself. However, I am sincere to you, and I also hope you can remember the affection between us, and hope we can escape this disaster smoothly. If there is really that day, I hope you will forget everything you should forget and don't say anything you shouldn't say. Oh, forget it, let's take one step at a time."

After putting down the phone, Dongfang Wenying was depressed for a long time. She couldn't figure out which link she made a mistake, was it because the promised benefits were too little? Or was the public relations efforts not enough? Otherwise, how could the engineering matters be so easy to investigate? The other party could successfully find out the building a year or two ago in such a short time, and there must be an insider here.

But no matter what, she knew that she had fallen apart this time. No wonder she came to the door in person and went to China Construction Bank, Commercial Bank and other units with the land auction documents and project planning books, but she couldn't even borrow a penny. Perhaps the bank had already received hints from some people.

The nightmare I had last night was still scared. Dongfang Wenying was still in a state of fear. In the dream, an evil ghost in ancient costume was blue-faced, fangs and bloody mouth, his nails were more than one foot long. He smiled, opened his head, used his long nails to pick up his white brain marrow and put it in his mouth and ate it with relish.

I was so scared that I could not avoid it, and I couldn't even move my fingers. I clearly felt that I should die, but the evil ghost could see clearly everything he did and clearly understand it in my heart.

I woke up from the nightmare, sat up nervously, and was sweating coldly on my head.

Dongfang Wenying knew that these were all psychological factors brought to him by the fierce competition in the business world. It was the call Zhang Mingyang called him during the day that played a decisive role. However, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he was still trembling with fear and turned on all the lights in the room.

I put on my nightgown and paced around the house, my mind rolling. I never dared to lie on the bed and close my eyes. It was not until the sky was getting dark that I finally slept for a while. Now I still feel hot in my head, dry mouth, and sore and weak all over...

However, she struggled to get up and picked up the phone from the dressing table: "Director Zhao? I am Dongfang Wenjing! Do you still remember the agreement between us? Tonight, we will see you at Haixin Hotel." After that, she hung up her phone without waiting for Zhao Jianhui to speak.

Listening to the soft and charming sound from the phone, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought to himself, what was this woman smelling? She was a little impatient.

"Oh, where did we talk about it just now? The inspection notice has been sent to the province, right?" Zhao Jianhui looked at Li Wenzhong sitting in front of him and asked with a smile.

Li Wenzhong nodded and continued: "The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to it. Secretary Xu personally received it at the Standing Committee and has decided to form a working group to conduct an investigation."

Zhao Jianhui looked at him and smiled: "That's good. It's better to focus on Nanyue Province. If you need cooperation, you and the other comrades will cooperate with you. I will give this matter full of your rights. Work boldly and report to me anytime if you have anything to do." Li Wenzhong's excited face flushed a little, and he nodded vigorously with all his energy and energy: "Don't worry, Director, I will strictly follow your requirements and do my best to do my job well."

At 7:55 pm, Zhao Jianhui walked into the rotating restaurant on the top floor of Haixin Building and found a seat by the window to sit down. He looked down at the night view of the brightly lit under his feet, and his heart was filled with excitement. The mountains and rivers were magnificent and there was no tolerance for some worms to discredit.

In the afternoon, he had already reported what happened in Nanyue to Director Sun, and Director Sun fully supported his approach. After all, on some very sensitive issues, the committee also needed to respect the ideas of local officials.

A scent of orchids and musk came from behind. Zhao Jianhui turned his head and saw Yan Ruirui as peach blossoms. He was stunned when he saw him turning around. Seeing him turn, Yan Ruirui swung her slender waist and approached him. She was wearing casual clothes, with a light face and a lightweight clothing, which made her plump body more exquisite and concise.

"Mr. Zhao, it's really you. I thought I had misjudged the person!" Yan Ruirui smiled and said in broken Cantonese. Zhao Jianhui smiled softly. It seemed that she was really destined to be with this woman. She could actually meet her wherever she went. "You'd better speak in English. It sounds awkward to say that."

Yan Ruirui smiled and said, "I like this beautiful city very much, and I also like China. I am working hard to learn what you say. Isn't this good?"

Zhao Jianhui nodded: "It's good, but I just can't listen. Why are you here too? Come here to have a meal?"

"Yes, I asked my idol to have dinner here, but I didn't expect to meet you." She said, stretching out her slender hand and pointing gently: "Let's go, I'll introduce you to where she is..."

Looking along his fingers, Zhao Jianhui saw Lin Xuanling sitting in front of a round table. Today, she was wearing a black strapless gauze dress, and her snow-white shoulders looked even more crystal clear under the light. Seeing Zhao Jianhui looking over, Lin Xuanling smiled and raised her little hand to him and waved it gently.

These two girls, one is a wealthy daughter and the other is an international supermodel. I really didn't expect that they would get together.

Yan Ruirui reached out and grabbed Zhao Jianhui's arm. The two of them walked to Lin Xuanling's side. Lin Xuanling had already stood up and smiled slightly, "" said stroking Lin Shihui's broad shoulders.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see Director Zhao again here. Come, sit here." Lin Xuanling actually got up and pulled the seat for him diligently, which surprised Yan Ruirui. "Lin, do you seem to be very intimidating Director Zhao?"

Lin Xuanling smiled softly: "This is not called awe, this is called respect. My career accounts for a large proportion in the mainland. If I want to avoid being bullied in the mainland, I have to establish a good relationship with a senior official like Director Zhao."

"Oh, it seems that your respect for me is only limited to the hat on my head?" Zhao Jianhui sat down and stared at Lin Xuanling and said.

"I don't deny this." Lin Xuanling nodded gently: "I've seen it very glorious when I see it outside. In fact, I have a lot of love. Just participating in some social events that I don't want to participate in these two days is very physically and mentally exhausted. But I have no choice. As long as I still want to stay in the mainland, I need to give some people what they call face."

"I don't understand what you are talking about? Zhao, where is the hat on your head?" Yan Ruirui said, and looked at it with her head tilted, as if she was going to find the hat Lin Xuanling said on Zhao Jianhui's head.

"Don't look for it anymore. I don't wear a hat on my head. What she said is just a metaphor. Do you understand the metaphor? It means to describe the power I hold. My interpersonal relationship is the hat on my head." As he said that, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Lin, I don't deny that the phenomena you mentioned are very common in the mainland, even in Taiwan. In fact, it is not easy to do that. But if you want to say the most risky profession, you have to be an official. Every day, there are all kinds of temptations that test you. Whether facing subordinates or friends, you will fall into a trap that will never be restored by accident."

Lin Xuanling nodded: "Hehe, what Director Zhao said makes sense, but today we are friends, and there is no exchange of rights and interests. I respect you, let's have a drink."

"Okay, since we are friends, don't always call us like "director" in the future, that's too disgusting." Zhao Jianhui said with a smile.

"Then what should I call you?" Lin Xuanling tilted his head and showed his snow-white teeth as he smiled, like scallops, and as clean as jade.

"Call me Zhao Jianhui, Jianhui, Xiao Zhao, and Brother Zhao. I think you two are not as old as me, right? Then call Lao Zhao." Zhao Jianhui put a napkin and arranged the knife and fork for dining. Then he grabbed the wine glass that Yan Ruirui placed in front of him, and gently touched the cup with Lin Xuanling and Yan Ruirui.

"Okay, I'd better call you Brother Zhao. Girls' age cannot be easily told to others, but I can tell you that I'm twenty-four years old this year. But you are not allowed to call me Miss Lin. You can call me Lingling like my parents." Lin Xuanling smiled sweetly: "I've been working for a day and my belly is long gone. Come on, let's start eating."
