Chapter 605: Find Out More!
After the group left, the people present immediately began to discuss.
“Who is that woman?” Someone asked doubtfully. “She actually knows CEO Yan and Manager Wan.”
“She should be famous in City Z because she’s so beautiful and knows so many powerful people. So how come none of us knows about her?”
“Yeah. She appears to have materialized from thin air.”
“It doesn’t matter who she is. We just have to remember to treat her with respect. Don’t be like some people and offend people for no reason!” Of course, they were talking about Chu Liren.
Chu Liren’s face turned red. He was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He was really unlucky. How would he know the woman was someone he shouldn’t provoke. If he had, would he have gone to court death?
However, no one cared about Director Chu’s thoughts. The discussion continued.
“Speaking of which, why do I feel that the younger brother sitting across from that woman looks familiar?”
“I also feel that he looks familiar!”
“Wait, I remember now. Isn’t he CEO Zeng from Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket?” With their status in the business world, they wouldn’t have paid any attention to a small general manager of a supermarket. However, these people were foodies. Plus, the stock at the supermarket sold out so easily. Even if they sent their nannies to line up early in the morning, they wouldn’t be able to get anything most of the time.
Of course, they wanted to connect with the general manager and see if they could make a reservation every day.
However, the supermarket only worked with a few businesses. They didn’t accept reservations from others. They worked on a first come, first serve basis.
They were angry, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t force people to work with them, right?
They heard that on the opening day of this supermarket, Yan Siming had personally come to congratulate them. With that, people knew they couldn’t offend the owner of this supermarket.
“CEO Zeng of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket?” Someone said, “I think Chairman Yan has brought a flower basket to the supermarket on its opening day.”
“I remember that too!”
Chu Liren and Director Ge, “...” Who had they offended? How could she be Yan Siming’s friend? Thankfully, the woman didn’t press further and only wanted them to make a donation.
Or else...
The two of them could not help but wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads!
In the future, they would have to take a detour whenever they saw them.
...
Xiao Lingyu and the others went to the private room.
“Manager Wan, your hotel’s business is really getting better and better,” CEO Zeng said with a smile. “Congratulations!”
Manager Wan said, “It’s all thanks to you and boss Xiao. Otherwise, my hotel’s business wouldn’t be so good.”
Even if the other hotels had cooperated with the supermarket, Jun Hao Hotel had already made a reputation. Most of the old customers still returned to the Jun Hao hotel to eat.
The business of other hotels slowly declined, but the business of the Jun Hao hotel was not affected much.
Xiao Lingyu said, “I believe in Manager Wan’s character, so I’m willing to cooperate with you!”
Manager Wan said happily, “Thank you for your trust, Boss Xiao. Come, let me toast to you.” At this point, he seemed to have thought of something. “Oh, boss Xiao can’t drink. Let me pour you a glass of fruit juice.” Then, he opened a bottle of grape juice and personally poured a glass for Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu raised the glass and said with a smile, “Then I wish Manager Wan good fortune! Cheers!”
Manager Wan said with a smile, “Boss Xiao, the same goes for you!”
Yan Siming, who had been ignored all this time, was obviously unhappy.
He glanced at Wan Congsong with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
“Ahem...” Yan Siming coughed twice.
Wan Congsong heard the coughing sound and immediately looked over. When he saw Yan Siming covering his mouth and coughing, he immediately reacted. He just realized that he had forgotten about Yan Siming.
Wan Congsong reacted quickly and immediately poured himself a glass of wine. Then, he said very respectfully, “Chairman Yan, I would like to propose a toast to you too. Thank you so much for taking care of my business!”
Yan Siming was somewhat satisfied with Wan Congsong’s tactfulness.
He raised his glass and said very arrogantly, “Hmph. Manager Wan, I’m only frequenting your hotel because of your cooperation with my little sister. It has nothing to do with you.”
Wan Congsong, “...”
Xiao Lingyu and Zeng Yaozu, “...”
This man seemed to be the tsundere type.
Wan Congsong also gave Zeng Yaozu a toast. After all, they were partners in names.
“Boss Xiao, this is your first time coming to our hotel for a meal, right?” Wan Congsong asked after putting down the glass and sitting down.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “It is indeed my first time here. I usually don’t have time to come over for a meal.”
Wan Congsong nodded and said, “That’s true. Boss Xiao, you’re a busy woman. So how long do you plan to stay in City Z this time?”
Wan Congsong knew that Xiao Lingyu often traveled between City Z and Peach Blossom Village. Most of the time, she went back on the same day.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “I’m here to do something. I’ll go back after the matter is settled. However, it’s hard to say when the matter will be settled.”
Wan Congsong immediately said, “Boss Xiao, may I know what it is? If there’s anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Yan Siming immediately glared at him and then fawningly said, “Yu ‘Er, if you need any help, you can come to Brother Yan. Brother Yan has connections in basically every field.”
Wan Congsong was confused at first, but then he realized Yan Siming was trying hard to endear himself to Xiao Lingyu.
Wan Congsong was very surprised, but he did not show it on his face.
Xiao Lingyu knew that it was more convenient to ask Yan Ziming for help. However, she didn’t want to trouble him. She had already owed him many big favors, and she hadn’t returned them yet. It was not that she did not want to return them, but she did not have the opportunity to do so.
Regardless, she didn’t want to trouble him with such a small matter.
Xiao Lingyu said, “I need someone to help me inquire about something. It’s just a small matter. I don’t want to trouble you, Brother Yan. However, if I need Brother Yan’s help, I will definitely ask.”
Yan Siming was satisfied with this answer. Xiao Lingyu didn’t forget him.
However, it still puzzled Yan Siming that Xiao Lingyu had to come personally from Taoyuan Village to City Z for this matter. Plus, she had to stay a few days for it.
Of course, Yan Siming didn’t continue to ask.
He knew that Xiao Lingyu would naturally tell him when she wanted to. Since she didn’t want to tell him, it meant that she didn’t want him to know for now.
...
After Xiao Lingyu gifted the two jars of health wine, there were finally some results.
“I heard from my vice leader that it was our leader who blocked the proposal.” Li Xuefeng said seriously. “There are two reasons. One is that the project will occupy farmland, and two is that the project doesn’t have enough funding.”
Xiao Lingyu said in surprise without thinking, “How is this possible? I clearly stated in the project proposal that the development of the Taoyuan Village tourism base would not occupy any farmland.
“As for the lack of funding, it’s even less likely. I’ve made a detailed budget list and the source of investment.”
She had a feeling that there must be something fishy going on. Could it be that she didn’t give a gift to the top leader?
This... might be the case.
Zeng Yaozu frowned and thought for a moment before asking again, “Xuefeng, are you sure that these two reasons are why the big boss blocked the proposal?”
Li Xuefeng nodded and said, “Yes, I have already asked around.”
Xiao Lingyu frowned deeply and thought about it.
‘What on Earth is going on? And what is the real problem?’
