"Mr. Lin, Mayor Tang and I have made an appointment at the Yuelong Hotel at eight o'clock tonight." Peng Tao said on the phone.
"Yuelong Hotel? Okay, I'll be there on time." Lin Hai hung up the phone.
Regarding Hou Xianpin's previous matter, he and Mayor Tang had already made a good start. Even if Tang Sen was not easy to talk to, he still had to give himself some face.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Hai arrived at the Yuelong Hotel and invited the mayor to dinner. It was considered polite to arrive earlier.
Lin Hai parked the car and stood at the entrance of Yuelong Hotel, waiting and playing with his mobile phone idly.
"Huh?" A white Audi A4 drove over.
Lin Hai took a look, wasn't this Liu Liang's car?
Sure enough, Liu Liang opened the door and got out of the car. Also coming out with him was a man in his fifties.
man.
"Dad, it starts at eight o'clock, do we need to come so early?" Liu Liang started to complain to Liu Hongju as soon as he got off the car.
"What do you know? Coming early represents a kind of respect and attitude. If you invite others to dinner, what if they arrive before you arrive?" Liu Hongju lectured.
"Then it's not so early. I can still play two games." Liu Liang drooped his head, looking unhappy.
"I said you can't make progress and only know how to play all day long. You will be a senior soon and you will have to take over the family business as soon as you graduate next year. What do you think you can do!"
"We'll learn more when the time comes." Liu Liang looked unconcerned.
"Sigh." Liu Hongju really had nothing to do with his son.
"Let me tell you, Xiaoliang, when you meet Vice President Gong, you must be polite and leave a good impression on others. You know, we businessmen have a lot to do with these official people.
It’s a big benefit, from now on you..."
"Haizi?" Before Liu Hongju could finish speaking, Liu Liang walked towards Lin Hai.
Liu Hongju was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick Liu Liang. This unsatisfactory son was imparting his experience to him, but when he arrived, he ran away.
"Liangzi, what a coincidence?" Lin Hai smiled and greeted Liu Liang.
"Oh, I was having fun with that fat guy Wang Peng, but my dad caught me and had to eat with the guests. I was so annoyed." Liu Liang pouted behind him.
"What's the trouble? Vice-President Gong is the second-in-command of the court. Do you think anyone is qualified to have dinner with him? I don't know how many people are envious but can't come here."
When Liu Hongju talked about Vice President Gong, his face could not help but reveal a sense of superiority.
"Oh, don't lecture me. My classmate is still here. Can you save some face for me?" Liu Liang said unhappily.
"Hello, uncle, I am Liu Liang's classmate, my name is Lin Hai." Lin Hai had a good relationship with Liu Liang and hurriedly greeted Liu Hongju politely.
"Oh, hello." Liu Hongju looked at Lin Hai and saw that Lin Hai was wearing ordinary clothes. A trace of contempt flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he said perfunctorily.
"Haizi, what are you doing here? If nothing happens, let's have dinner together later." Liu Liang said enthusiastically.
Liu Hongju frowned, why is this child so ignorant?
"Xiao Lin, originally you and Liu Liang were classmates, so it would be okay to have a meal together, but today, we are inviting an honored guest, so why not next time..."
"Uncle, no need, I'm waiting for someone too." Lin Hai was not so cold-hearted.
"Okay, next time Xiao Lin has a chance to play at home, let's go in first." Liu Hongju obviously didn't want to waste time here, so he waved to Lin Hai and left with Liu Liang.
"Oh, why are you so anxious? Haizi and I will chat for a while..."
"If you have anything to talk about, come in with me first and see if the private room is ready. Vice President Gong is not an ordinary person..."
Seeing the two of them entering the hotel, Lin Hai shook his head.
"Xiao Liang, let me tell you, if you want to survive in society, connections are very important. I heard that the young masters of the Ye Group and the Zhao Group are all in your school. If you have nothing to do, try to get close to these people. It will be useful to you.
The good thing is, don’t always hang out with the kids who look like they’re from the village at the door, what’s the use?”
"What did you say, Dad, we are best friends."
"Humph, your best friend can be your meal, let me tell you..." Liu Hongju sat in the private room and started a new round of education for Liu Liang.
"Mr. Lin, are you here so early?" Peng Tao arrived at around 7:30.
"I have nothing to do, so I came here. Director Peng, thank you this time." Lin Hai smiled slightly.
"What are you saying? Mayor Tang is very grateful to you because of Secretary Hou. Otherwise, I may not be able to invite Mayor Tang based on my face alone." Peng Tao waved his hand quickly.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and the time passed quickly.
"Xiao Liang, it's almost time. Follow me to the door and wait." In the private room, Liu Hongju looked at the time and saw that it was already 7:50, and hurriedly called Liu Liang out.
"Let me tell you Xiaoliang, those who are leaders usually arrive at the right time or arrive a few minutes late so that they can appear relevant, but we must wait at the door in advance, otherwise..."
Liu Hongju was walking out as he was talking, and the phone suddenly rang.
When he lowered his head and looked at the caller ID, Liu Hongju's waist immediately dropped.
"Oh, Dean Gong..." Liu Hongju nodded and bowed.
"What! You have something to do at home and you can't come?" Liu Hongju's expression changed.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Dean Gong, you are too polite. Okay, okay, then next time..." Before Liu Hongju could finish speaking, the phone call was hung up.
Liu Hong would have wilted after a while.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Vice President Gong has something to do and can't come." Liu Hongju felt frustrated.
"What, you can't come? Damn, if you can't come, you should have told me earlier. The dishes are all ordered. Isn't this a waste of time?" Liu Liang suddenly became angry.
"Okay, stop talking. It would be nice if I could just call and say something." Liu Hongju said with a frown.
"Then, what should we do with this table of dishes?"
"What else can we do? Mader, let's eat by ourselves! We have to walk around if we can't eat!" Liu Hongju said angrily.
"Eat it by yourself, I won't be able to finish it until I die." Liu Liang muttered with a pulled face.
"Huh? Wait!" Liu Hongju's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly pulled Liu Liang over.
"Xiao Liang, is that person over there your classmate just now?" Liu Hongju pointed towards Lin Hai.
Liu Liang followed Liu Hong's raised hand and immediately rolled his eyes.
"I said, Dad, what's wrong with your memory? That's Haizi. He just said hello to someone, but he immediately forgot about it."
"Shouldn't I confirm it with you?" Liu Hongju suddenly became excited.
"Xiao Liang, how is your relationship with your classmate?" Liu Hongju suddenly became excited.
"That's good, brother Tie!" Liu Liang raised his eyebrows.
"Really, that's great, let's go there!" Liu Hongju pulled Liu Liang and left.
"Oh, what are you doing? Dad, let me go and I'll go by myself." Liu Liang shook Liu Hongju's arm away.
"Uncle Liu, Liangzi." Lin Hai looked a little strange when he saw Liu Liang and his son coming back.
"Xiao Lin, uncle has ordered a meal. If you are okay, let's eat together. You and Xiao Liang are best friends, and it's just a good time to deepen your relationship."
"Uncle, no need, I'm still waiting for someone." Lin Hai shook his head, not knowing what Liu Hongju meant.
Didn't he invite someone? Why did he come over to invite me to dinner again and act so enthusiastically?
"Oh, isn't this Director Peng?" Liu Hongju pretended to have just discovered Peng Tao, with a look of excitement on his face.
Lin Hai suddenly understood. Damn it, it turned out that he was here for Peng Tao.
"Hello, you are..." Peng Tao obviously didn't know Liu Hongju.
"I am……"
Before Liu Hongju finished speaking, Peng Tao suddenly pointed toward the roadside.
"coming."
"Who is coming?" Liu Hongju asked subconsciously.
"My guest." Lin Hai walked towards the black Audi that had just stopped.
When Liu Hongju saw Audi's license plate number, his heart skipped a beat.
