In the last year of the 20th century, Quancheng City, the capital of Huanghai Province, the ruby ??city square was filled with neon lights, bright lights, and crowds of people, making it indescribably lively and prosperous.
It is the hottest season of the year, and many people rush out to cool off after dinner. In fact, the sun has just set, and it is even hotter and unbearable outdoors. But this cannot stop citizens.
Everybody loves a good time.
Ruby Plaza is a large-scale comprehensive plaza newly built in Quancheng City not long ago. It is very large and more fashionable than the previous two plazas. Many well-known brands have settled in it and there are several large stores. Since the day it was built, it has become the new favorite of Quancheng citizens.
Since the reform and opening up, due to its superior geographical location and effective leadership measures, Huanghai Province has developed rapidly, no less than the southeastern coastal provinces. Quancheng, the capital of Huanghai Province, has become a bright pearl in the eastern part of China, shining brightly.
In the parking spaces outside the city square, there are rows of cars parked, including many expensive luxury cars. There are all kinds of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, and you can even occasionally see one or two expensive sports cars that are not common in China. It will take a few more years for top sports cars to become popular in China.
Two cars drove over one after another and parked in the parking lot near Ruby Square.
The car at the beginning is an old Audi, followed closely by a dark gray BMW, which looks more high-end and majestic. However, discerning people generally not only look at the car, but also the license plate. The Audi car bears a small license plate of the provincial capital. Although it is not the car of a leader of the provincial or municipal party committee, it is still extraordinary. The owner of the car should be a leading cadre with a certain status. BMW's license plate is more popular, and it should be a car for wealthy people.
As soon as the Audi stopped, a young man in his thirties hurriedly jumped out of the passenger seat, opened the back seat door, and reached out to cover the top of the door. Then, a middle-aged man in his forties slowly stepped out of the car. Every move he made showed his magnanimity and authority.
Unlike most middle-aged and pot-bellied leading cadres, this middle-aged man has a standard figure, wearing a white shirt, crisp black trousers, shiny black leather shoes, and his hair is meticulously combed. He looked very energetic and looked several years younger than his actual age. As soon as I got off the car, I stood there with my hands behind my back, looking at the Ruby City Square. Compared with the huge ruby ??square, individuals seem extremely small. However, the middle-aged cadre stood there with a condescending look, as if he was the master of Ruby Square.
After the BMW stopped, three people got out, two men and one woman, one old and two young.
The older man, about fifty years old, is neatly dressed and has a smart and capable look on his face. You can tell at a glance that he is a veteran of the mall. The temperaments of businessmen and official leaders are very different, and experienced people can tell them apart at a glance.
The remaining men and women are much younger, both in their twenties. The man is tall and handsome, with a good figure of an athlete. Although he is wearing a white shirt and black trousers and tries to dress up as mature as possible, he can't suppress the vigorous vitality radiating from his body, which makes him feel relatively young. . The girl next to him looks younger than him, and her clothes are relatively simple. She wears a simple purple skirt with a little makeup. On her white and round neck, she wears a pearl necklace that shines with a light beige luster. There was a wedding ring on her finger, but no other ornaments. The more simple and plain the dress, the more it brings out her beauty and brightness.
Fan Hongcai was originally a great beauty, a famous campus beauty of Capital University. Together with Li Qiuyu and Tong Yan, she was once hailed as the "Campus Beauty Trio" by the boys of Capital University.
The young man who got off the car with her was naturally her husband Li Feng.
Li Feng and Fan Hongcai originally worked together in the capital. Li Feng also opened his own computer company in the capital. He graduated only a few years ago and became well-known in the IT industry in the capital. Fan Hongcai worked in a scientific research unit in the capital. When she was still in school, Fan Hongcai once expressed her willingness to study abroad and continue her education. However, Li Feng was really "indulgent" and was "fooled" by him for a while, which made Fan Hongcai dizzy and promised him not to go abroad again. Of course, this is not entirely due to Li Feng's deception. Another reason is that Fan Weiguo was transferred to the capital to work. Fan Hongcai couldn't bear to leave his parents, so he Anxin and Li Feng lived in the capital. From time to time, he accompanied his mother to go shopping. Acting coquettishly in front of my father made my little life enjoyable.
Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn last year. Li Feng's father fell seriously ill. Although he was sent to the hospital in time for rescue, his health was not as good as before. The doctor told him to rest absolutely and not to work any more. The Li family's huge industry was suddenly leaderless. Li Feng¡¯s motherShe is a typical good wife and mother, who is excellent at caring for her husband and raising children, but she knows nothing about the intrigues in the shopping mall. Li Feng ranks third among his cousins, but is actually the only son in the family. Seeing that the building was about to collapse, he had no choice but to close down the computer company in the capital and rush back to Quancheng with his wife to take over the handicraft industry.
Fortunately, Li Feng is not a nerd. As soon as he graduated from Capital University, he rejected the extremely favorable conditions of several employers and directly opened his own computer company and started his own business. After a few years, I made some money and lived a well-off life without relying on support from my parents. Li Feng's father was also highly educated. He was a government cadre before going into business. He was relatively open-minded. Although he really wanted his son to come back and inherit his huge family business, he saw that Li Feng insisted on starting his own business and did not object. In any case, starting a computer company is also a major trend in the world today. Seeing that he was only in his fifties and could still work for at least ten more years, he was not so anxious. After a few years, I really can't work hard anymore, and my son has already experienced it. At that time, all the family property will be handed over to him, leaving him to deal with it, and I will only enjoy peace and happiness.
Nowadays, people are not as good as God. Li Feng was forced to take over the family business midway. Only then did he realize that traditional companies and the IT industry are really not the same thing. Apart from anything else, the complexity of personal relationships in traditional industries is far more complicated than that in IT. The company is comparable. In particular, the Li family's industry is mainly real estate, which has higher requirements for personal connections.
Since my country opened up its real estate market, the first priority for any real estate company, no matter how big it is, is to have a good relationship with the government. Whether your background is strong or not, and whether your backing is strong or not, often directly determines whether the company can develop and grow, and can even directly determine the company's life or death.
This is really not Li Feng¡¯s expertise.
¡°For example, inviting District Mayor Xian Hancheng of Dongcheng District out for dinner tonight is a chore that he has to deal with. Logically speaking, he should have invited this meal a long time ago, but he has already offended someone by delaying it. Xian Hancheng thought he was in control.
Fortunately, Uncle Qian was there to help, which gave Li Feng some confidence.
Uncle Qian is the middle-aged man in his fifties who came with them in the car. He is currently the vice president of "Jiufeng Industrial Co., Ltd." Lao Qian is the most senior veteran of Jiufeng Industrial. He is one of the first batch of old people to start a business and conquer the world with Li Feng's father. He is loyal to the Li family and Jiufeng Company. Li Feng's father begged him with tears on his bed, asking him to do it. He will wholeheartedly assist his son and continue to develop Jiufeng Industrial.
Therefore, Li Feng has to discuss all major company matters with Uncle Qian.
Lao Qian did live up to his trust and tried his best to assist Li Feng.
For example, now, Lao Qian knows that the "young master" is not good at socializing, so he takes the initiative to greet Xian Hancheng.
"District Chief Xian, please."
Old Qian said respectfully.
Xian Hancheng smiled slightly and said gracefully: "President Qian, please, Mr. Li, Researcher Fan, please."
Fan Hongcai¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly and said: ¡°District Chief Xian, I am not a researcher. I just work at the Institute of Optoelectronic Engineering and am a very ordinary scientific research assistant.¡±
Although Li Feng returned home and inherited the family business, doing business was really not Fan Hongcai's strong point, and he really couldn't do it. I came to Quancheng with my husband and still worked in a scientific research institution as a scholar. Originally, Fan Hongcai had no plans to come to the banquet tonight. She was more "afraid" of this kind of business entertainment than Li Feng. But Uncle Qian said that this was their first time hosting Xian Hancheng, and the couple should show up together to show their sincerity. Jiufeng Industrial Company is currently facing a huge crisis, and Xian Hancheng is the key figure. Only by gaining the support of Xian Hancheng can we have a chance to resolve the issue.
Seeing that Uncle Qian was so serious, Fan Hongcai had no choice but to show up.
Xian Hancheng didn't want to know her situation very well, so he called her "Researcher Fan".
Fan Hongcai was young and thin-skinned, so she hurriedly explained.
To Fan Hongcai, being called a researcher without being a researcher is like plagiarism and she really doesn¡¯t dare to accept it.
Seeing Fan Hongcai¡¯s embarrassed look, Xian Hancheng was distracted for a moment.
Xian Hancheng, as the district chief of Dongcheng District in Quancheng City, holds a high position and has seen countless beauties of all kinds. But such a beautiful and pure intellectual beauty as Fan Hongcai is really rare.
"Haha, the Institute of Optoelectronics is our first-class higher-level scientific research institution in Quancheng. Anyone who can engage in research there is a great intellectual. I heard that Miss Fan and Mr. Li are classmates, and they are both top students who graduated from Capital University. , this is really amazing. The title of researcher, for Fan Xiao?As far as I'm concerned, it's just around the corner. "
Xian Hancheng said with a haha.
Although she knew that Fan Hongcai was Li Feng's wife, she still wanted to call her Miss Fan, but she didn't know what the reason was.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, he dislikes the title "Mrs. Li".
