After returning home, Lin Mai called Fang Zhuoyue.
She said that she bought several dishes of her own braised vegetables today and asked him to come back early for dinner.
He hasn't been back for dinner in the past two days.
Fang Zhuoyue said harshly on the other end of the phone: "It's not like you cooked the braised vegetables yourself. I won't eat it." After that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Mai was furious on the other end of the phone for three seconds. This uncle was too disrespectful.
Although the braised vegetables were not braised by her herself, they were braised according to her secret recipe.
The taste is almost the same as the one she braised herself.
But this guy was so disgusted that he must be looking for an excuse to have dinner with Tao Zhiyun.
Lin Mai wanted to call Fang Zhuoyue again and ask if he and Tao Zhiyun were dating, but then the phone kept ringing.
The call was from Shen Xiaoping.
She told Lin Mai that Mayor Wang's secretary called her in the afternoon as if he was impatient.
Lin Mai didn't take it seriously: "At least wait until Mayor Wang comes to see me three times before you tell me again."
She went to see Mayor Wang before, but Mayor Wang changed his mind at a moment's notice and she was rejected. So she wanted to let Mayor Wang know what it was like to be rejected.
After finishing the call with Shen Xiaoping, Lin Mai wanted to call Tao Zhiyun.
It suddenly occurred to me that if Tao Zhiyun was dating Fang Zhuoyue, it would be impossible to receive her call, so he would have to wait until the evening.
The phone hadn't been quiet for half an hour when it started ringing again.
This time it was Niu Lili calling.
I haven’t contacted Niu Lili for a long time. Either Niu Lili is too busy or Lin Mai is too busy.
Lin Mai was getting married at that time. Niu Lili's cousin also got married that day, and her cousin also got married that day. They all rushed together, so she was unable to attend Lin Mai's wedding.
Now that we were in touch, the two good friends were a little excited and chatted enthusiastically.
Niu Lili apologized for not being able to attend Lin Mai's wedding.
Lin Mai didn't care at all.
The two chatted casually, and Niu Lili changed the subject: "I saw your propaganda department placed an advertisement in our newspaper, saying that it wanted to sell all the real estate of Wantong Group in Jiangcheng. Why would you do this? ?”
Lin Mai was very vigilant. Although she believed in Niu Lili's character, she was still afraid of what might happen.
The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart.
Lin Mai didn't reveal even a word of the truth to Niu Lili. She only said that she didn't want to be hit, so she wanted to move Wantong Group to other provinces for development.
Niu Lili said: "The price you pay is too high!"
Lin Mai smiled: "Although the cost is high, it may be worth it in exchange for the smooth development of the company in the future."
The two good friends chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Although Niu Lili will not betray Lin Mai, the walls have ears.
The conversation between her and Lin Mai was eavesdropped on the extension by her colleagues, who then informed Mayor Wang's secretary.
Mayor Wang's secretary told Mayor Wang again.
Mayor Wang was anxious and angry, and was speechless for a long time.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Mai called Tao Zhiyun before going to bed.
He asked straight to the point if she was friends with Fang Zhuoyue.
On the other end of the phone, Tao Zhiyun was as shy as a young girl falling in love for the first time, and asked her how she knew.
Lin Mai said: "I saw it accidentally.
When did you become friends with Zhuo Zhi? What should Dr. Liu do?" She asked a series of questions.
After listening to Lin Mai's words, Tao Zhiyun was silent for a long time, and then said: "Just half a month ago, I officially dated Zhuo Zhuo.
As for Dr. Liu, I only dated Zhuo Zhuo after I broke up with him, so I don’t have the best of both worlds."
She asked uneasily: "Maizi, have I gone too far? Dr. Liu was so kind to me, but I broke up with him..."
Lin Mai leaned on the bedside and pinched his eyebrows: "I'm not a relationship expert, so I can't answer your question.
The only thing I know is that if you don't love the other person, breaking up is your responsibility to yourself and the other person."
She gossiped and asked: "You broke up with Dr. Liu, what was Dr. Liu's reaction?"
"Of course he feels uncomfortable. He also said that he would not give up until he saw me get married."
Lin Mai said: "Then you should marry Zhuo Zhi as soon as possible and let him let go of you as soon as possible so that he can find his own happiness."
Tao Zhiyun hummed and said that she and Fang Zhuoyue would hold a wedding at the May Day meeting next year.
Lin Mai asked gossiping: "I really didn't expect that after you had chosen so many times, you actually picked Excellence.
Didn't you always reject him from the beginning?
How did he touch your heart?”
Tao Zhiyun said: "In order to reject excellence, I once said, I don't want a man who can't support the family.
Unexpectedly, he took this sentence seriously and worked hard for me.
When he took a bankbook worth one million as a betrothal gift, I...my heart fell in love with him~"
Lin Mai thought that Tao Zhiyun would never choose Fang Zhuoyue because of this million dollar betrothal gift.
The person she probably liked deep down in her heart was Fang Zhuoyue, and the one million bankbook was just the catalyst.
Lin Mai asked: "Will Zhuo Zhuo's mother agree to let you marry her son on May Day?"
Fang Zhuoyue wanted to be with Tao Zhiyun, but Wang Wenfang was the biggest obstacle.
Tao Zhiyun said: "Zhuo Zhuo has not mentioned this matter to Ms. Wang.
Zhuo Zhuo said that he would tell his mother after the Chinese New Year.
Let him arrange everything, don't let me worry about it, don't let me worry."
After talking to Tao Zhiyun on the phone, Lin Mai fell asleep.
Ah! I really want to sleep in the warm embrace of Professor.
Two days later, Mayor Wang received news that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to buy all the real estate owned by Wantong Enterprise in Jiangcheng.
Lin Mai also sent people to Star City to have close contact with relevant leaders and discuss moving Wantong Group to Star City.
Mayor Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Ask the secretary to contact Lin Mai's secretary Shen Xiaoping again, and ask Shen Xiaoping to tell Lin Mai that he has something very important to discuss with Lin Mai.
Shen Xiaoping's answer is always three words: "I will try my best."
More than two hours later, Mayor Wang finally received a call from Lin Mai himself.
Lin Mai said apologetically on the phone that she had been too busy these days and had been discussing business with people.
Because I was too tired, I went home and fell asleep.
Although her secretary has been contacting her, she has never been contacted. I am really sorry, and Balabala keeps apologizing.
Mayor Wang said it didn't matter, but what he was thinking was that this little girl was so bad that she couldn't even believe a single punctuation mark in what she said.
Lin Mai said on the other end of the phone: "I heard that Mayor Wang came to see me in an emergency, but I am currently too busy to go to Mayor Wang's office."
When Mayor Wang heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to explode on the spot.
He thought Lin Mai called him and agreed to meet him.
Unexpectedly, he called me just to reject him.
Just when Mayor Wang was about to speak and use the authority of the leader to force her to come to his office, Lin Mai spoke again on the other side of the phone:
"Mayor Wang, do you think this is okay? I want to treat a client to dinner tonight, and you will come too.
First, I will apologize to you, and second, we can discuss things at the dinner table.
I can only find time to meet with you tonight, so I apologize for my inconvenience."
Although Lin Mai was not talking to Mayor Wang one-on-one, the initiative now rested with Lin Mai, and Mayor Wang could only nod his head in agreement.
What can I do if I don’t agree?
If Lin Mai keeps making excuses not to meet him.
Then he quietly moved the company to Star City, and his job as mayor came to an end.
Force her to come to your office?
Her business has grown so big that she may not necessarily give him this face. Then his face will be ugly.
It's better to agree to her, at least it won't look bad.
At six o'clock in the evening, Mayor Wang took his secretary to the place where Lin Mai made an appointment to pack up the Haoshichi flagship store.
Everyone says that the service at the Baohaochi flagship store is quite good, and it certainly lives up to its reputation.
As soon as the two people entered the Baohaochi flagship store, a waiter brought them hot water and soap and asked them to wash their hands.
There was also a male waiter who wanted to polish their shoes with a shoe polishing tool, but Mayor Wang strongly refused.
As a state cadre, he always felt that he was engaging in corruption by letting his servants polish his shoes.
Lin Mai received a notification from a waiter and learned that Mayor Wang was coming, so he took Xiao Man downstairs to greet him.
A group of four people went upstairs and entered the exclusive private room. Mayor Wang saw a man in his thirties sitting in the private room who looked like he was from Hong Kong.
Lin Mai smiled and introduced Mayor Wang and the Hong Kong man to each other.
Only then did Mayor Wang know that the Hong Kong man was the Hong Kong boss who was planning to acquire the real estate of Linmai Enterprises.
His eyes lit up imperceptibly, and he stared at the Hong Kong man a few more times.
Everyone sat down, and Lin Mai respectfully asked Mayor Wang to take his order.
Mayor Wang smiled and asked the Hong Kong boss to order.
Finally, Mayor Wang and the Hong Kong boss ordered mushroom hot pot, spring rolls filled with fried shepherd's purse and pork, beef and carrot buns and several other snacks.
Lin Mai asked the waiter to serve two bottles of Maotai.
She smiled and said to Mayor Wang and the Hong Kong boss: "I am allergic to alcohol. I have to stay in the hospital when I drink. My assistant Xiaoman drinks with you on my behalf."
She is not allergic to alcohol, mainly because she doesn't like drinking and is afraid of getting into trouble when she gets drunk.
Xiao Man has a good capacity for drinking, he is good at persuading people to drink, and he is also very measured. He will not forcefully force people to drink, but he can make people drink the wine obediently.
The Hong Kong boss was fed so much by Xiao Man that his tongue was tied in less than half an hour.
Originally, Mayor Wang sounded a little strenuous when he spoke Hong Kong-style Mandarin.
Now he was drunk and spoke in a bird's language, as if the mayor was listening to a foreign language, which he couldn't understand at all.
However, he probably understood everything about the back-and-forth business battle between the Hong Kong boss and Lin Mai while he was awake.
The Hong Kong boss wants 400,000 to buy all the real estate of Linmai Enterprises in Jiangcheng.
Lin Mai gritted his teeth and refused to let go of the five hundred thousand yuan.
The two of them argued with each other for more than half an hour. The Hong Kong boss said in frustration: "Four hundred and eighty thousand, I won't even buy a penny more."
Lin Mai sighed and said: "That's okay, 480,000 will be 480,000.
If I hadn't been in a hurry to get rid of it, you wouldn't have picked up this leak."
The Hong Kong boss looked proud.
Lin Mai saw that the Hong Kong boss was so drunk that he turned into a pile of mud, so he asked someone to take him back to the Jiangcheng Hotel where he was staying.
Mayor Wang on the side asked in disbelief: "You guys concluded the negotiation so quickly?"
Lin Mai stood up and poured him a glass of Maotai wine respectfully: "What's so quick? We've been talking for several days."
Xiao Man excitedly raised his neck and drank a glass of Moutai in one gulp, and happily said to Lin Mai: "Now we have the expenses to move to Star City."
After that, let’s persuade Mayor Wang to drink.
Mayor Wang covered the wine glass with his palm and refused to drink anything.
Although he loves to drink Maotai, he and Lin Mai have important things to talk about, and he is afraid that drinking will cause trouble, so even if he wants to drink again, he will hold back.
He took a few bites of the food and asked Lin Mai, "What kind of business does that Hong Kong businessman want to buy your factory and company?"
If the business scale of this Hong Kong businessman is not small, then he can make up for the losses caused by Lin Mai's move to Star City.
In this case, he didn't insist on asking Lin Mai to stay.
Lin Maidao: "Boss Yuan doesn't plan to do business. He wants to buy my factory and head office to use as a warehouse to stack goods."
Mayor Wang was stunned when he heard this: "You spend so much money just to use these houses as warehouses?"
Lin Mai chuckled lightly: "You think a few hundred thousand is a lot, but in other people's eyes it's not worth mentioning at all.
Boss Yuan is in the shipping business.
When the goods shipped back from abroad arrive at the shore, they have to find a warehouse to store them first, and then find a buyer to sell them.
It costs millions to rent a warehouse every year, so why spend more than 400,000 to buy these factories and businesses like mine?"
Mayor Wang asked: "Why did he go to our Jiangcheng to buy a warehouse? Is it convenient to ship goods?"
"Why is it inconvenient? Our Yangtze River flows into the East China Sea."
Mayor Wang suddenly felt resentful, since that Hong Kong businessman couldn't contribute a little bit to Jiangcheng's tax revenue.
Then he couldn't let Lin Mai go, he still had to beg this prickly head to stay.
