Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, September had come to an end. Lu Jianhong was originally from the business management station. In addition to a month of familiarizing himself with the situation, he was already an expert in the industry. During this period, he also keenly felt the hostility of the mayor, Wang Jianshuang, towards him. Especially when Wang Jianshuang saw him with a strange smile, he smelled a conspiracy.
According to the country's regulations, National Day was a legal holiday and a seven-day long holiday. After Lu Jianhong settled the matters on hand, he was about to leave when Lang Xueli stopped him."Secretary Lu, there's something I need to talk to you about."
Lu Jianhong sat back down at his desk.""What is it?"
"It's like this. Boss Qian wants to have a gathering with you tonight.”
Boss Qian's name was Qian Yifeng. He was from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. Lu Jianhong knew him. A month ago, the county Land and Resources Bureau listed a plot of land that occupied 70 acres. It was mainly used for real estate development. After bidding, Qian Yifeng won the bid at a price of 70 million. Gaohe Town attached great importance to this project and specially set up a working group to help handle the relevant procedures for real estate development. In the early days of the establishment of Dingsheng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Lu Jianhong had solved many problems for it. Of course, he was very familiar with it. It was a must to improve their relationship with the boss, so Lu Jianhong agreed immediately.""No problem, but don't let the boss treat you. Is he in the county or town?”
"I've already booked a place at Qifang Garden. President Qian said that he's tired of eating at the restaurants in the county. He's still interested after eating home-cooked dishes at Qifang Garden last time.”
"Alright, you're participating too."
After contacting Qian Yifeng, Lu Jianhong called his chauffeur, Xu Zhengyang, and brought Lang Xueli to Qifang Garden.
Sitting in Lu Jianhong's car, Lang Xueli felt very upset. He originally looked down on Lu Jianhong. When Lang Jing was dating him, he never raised his eyelids when he saw Lu Jianhong. But now, the roles had changed so drastically, and the huge difference made him very uncomfortable. Comparing Lu Jianhong and Fang Zhiquan, Lang Xueli was still more inclined to Fang Zhiquan up until now. There was no reason, just because Fang Zhiquan was rich. Although Lu Jianhong was now a deputy secretary, his salary was only around 3,000 yuan a month. With this kind of income, it would be difficult to even buy a car, let alone a house with an average price of 4,000 yuan. After all, he still had a 90-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and one living room. Thinking of this, Lang Xueli felt a little more balanced.
After waiting in the Dreamlike Hall for about ten minutes, Qian Yifeng and another person walked in.
"CEO Lu, CEO Zhu, you're here." Lu Jianhong stood up and smiled.”
The dishes were quickly served, and the wine was naturally good. Qian Yifeng's alcohol tolerance was not bad. Every time he ate with Lu Jianhong, he would go all out, but he never won. After finishing three small bowls with Lu Jianhong, Qian Yifeng said with a smile,"Secretary Lu, every time I drink with you, I return in defeat.”
Lu Jianhong also smiled and said," Drinking with Boss is also one of my jobs. I'm also willing to risk my life to accompany a gentleman.”
The person who came with Qian Yifeng was Zhu Yongxing, the vice president of Prosperity. He said,"Secretary Lu's work attitude and professionalism are deeply admirable. We are very relieved to have a leader like you to help us.”
"I'm flattered to receive such praise from President Zhu. Come, on behalf of the Gaohe Town government, let me toast the two bosses.”
Qian Yifeng pointed at Lu Jianhong and said with a smile,""Secretary Lu, are you trying to catch them all?”
On such an occasion, as the director of the investment promotion office, Lang Xueli was not suitable to talk too much. He also understood this very well, so he only toasted.
After finishing three bottles of Wuliang Liquor, Qian Yifeng raised the white flag and surrendered."Secretary Lu, tomorrow is National Day. I heard that you guys are on holiday too. In the past month, Secretary Lu has worked hard for Prosperity. I don't want to delay your long holiday. I don't have any other hobbies, but I like playing mahjong. I wonder if Secretary Lu will do me the honor of playing with us.”
Lu Jianhong was a little unhappy in his heart. He had always hated him, but his expression remained calm."Since President Qian has brought it up, of course I have to accompany you. However, it seems that we don't have enough manpower.”
"It's ready-made. We're using cards to further enhance our relationship. We don't want outsiders.”Qian Yifeng nodded.
Lang Xueli was a good mahjong player. When Lu Jianhong and Lang Jing were dating, he knew that he was addicted to mahjong. In the past, teachers 'salaries were low, so they played small games. Now that their income had increased, it was said that even female teachers could win or lose two to three thousand yuan. Lu Jianhong couldn't help but glance at Lang Xueli. Lang Xueli was also looking at him. There was actually some ridicule in his gaze. He knew that Lang Xueli had always looked down on his family's financial situation. Lu Jianhong could not help but feel angry, but he smiled and said,""Then let's have a little fun. However, even though friendship comes first, we still have to have some stakes. I wonder how much money you're going to give me, so I'll be mentally prepared. You know, our income is very low. We can't afford to play with things that are too big.”
Hearing Lu Jianhong's half-joking words, Qian Yifeng laughed.""As the saying goes, a small bet is good for the spirit, but a big bet is bad for the body. Let's control it at about seventy to eighty thousand.”
Lang Xueli was shocked. Seventy to eighty thousand was equivalent to two years of his salary. If he was unlucky, he would be in big trouble. However, there was no expression on his face. He was looking at Lu Jianhong. He knew that Lu Jianhong could not afford to play with him. As long as he rejected him, he did not need to say anything.
Lu Jianhong shot a glance at Lang Xueli. His ability to judge people had greatly improved over the past few years, so he understood what Lang Xueli meant. He smiled and said,""I should have been prepared. Wait for me, I'll get someone to send the money over.”
Lu Jianhong called Duan Changjiang.""Old Duan, I'm Lu Jianhong. I need money urgently for something. Prepare 100,000 yuan for me.”
Duan Changjiang was taken aback. However, Lu Jianhong was a very reliable person. Although it was a little against the rules and it would be troublesome if Wang Jianshuang found out, he still did as Lu Jianhong said and chose Lu Jianhong's side. In the officialdom, most of the time, it was not about your ability or your background. It was about whether you stood on the right side. If you stood on the right side, you would prosper together. If you stood on the wrong side, you would suffer together.
"Secretary Lu, I didn't bring so much money.”Lang Xueli felt a chill in his heart. At the same time, he felt a little resentful. Damn it, is this what a leader is like? One phone call and it was settled with a hundred thousand yuan.
"Your house is not far from here. Go back and get it.”Lu Jianhong said indifferently. Actually, according to Lu Jianhong's nature, he would not deliberately make things difficult for him. It was just that he was really unhappy with Lang Xueli. Although he did not make things difficult for him in his usual work, he could still use this opportunity to make fun of him.
"I don't know if the bank is closed yet. President Qian, President Zhu, please wait for me for a while.”
The three of them chatted while drinking tea. After more than half an hour, Lang Xueli ran back, drenched in sweat, carrying a bag."I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting.”
This mahjong match lasted until dawn before it ended. Lu Jianhong lost quite a bit at first, but his luck gradually turned around and he made a comeback. In the end, he only lost a little over 10,000 yuan. Lang Xueli was reluctant to part with the money. He had gathered this money from a few friends, so he played carefully. At the end of the game, he actually won more than 7,000 yuan, which was a sigh of relief.
Lu Jianhong looked out of the window and pushed the mahjong tiles.""Let's call it a day. President Qian, you can't drink, but I can't play cards. I admit defeat.”
"Secretary Lu, you're too humble." Qian Yifeng laughed.”
Lu Jianhong did not expect that it was because of this mahjong match that he would have a showdown with Wang Jianshuang.
