Chapter 77 Sanctimonious
The two followed Secretary Wei to the conference room, where they saw Xu Menghao sitting in the main seat reviewing documents.
Some staff members were seated on either side of the conference table.
Secretary Wei gestured for Ye Cheng and Shen Qingrou to sit in their seats and wait quietly for Xu Menghao.
About ten minutes later, Xu Menghao looked up from his documents, glanced at Ye Cheng and Shen Qingrou, and then pointed to the pot-bellied man sitting to his right and said, "This is Mayor Yin Shushan. Qingyuan Mountain is under his jurisdiction. I will have him cooperate with your work."
Yin Shushan stood up with a smile and took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Mr. Ye, you are a man of great talent and outstanding ability. I have long admired you."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Ye Cheng reached out and shook hands with Yin Shushan, smiling slightly, "I hope you will give me more guidance in the future, Mayor."
"Haha... You're too kind."
Shen Qingrou took the initiative to extend her hand and lightly shake hands with Yin Shushan, and simply greeted him.
Yin Shushan's eyes lit up as he looked at Shen Qingrou's stunning beauty, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in this situation. He flattered her, saying, "President Shen is our God of Wealth. On behalf of Qingyuan Mountain, I would like to express my gratitude to the Shen Group for their investment and development."
Shen Qingrou sneered inwardly: "Are you implying that I should give you a gift, you God of Wealth?"
"We still need the mayor's support."
Shen Qingrou also gave Yin Shushan a lot of face.
At this moment, Xu Menghao suddenly said, "No need for polite words. I have already reported this project to the city lord, and he attaches great importance to it."
This is the contract we worked on overnight; please take a look.
Secretary Wei took the contract from the table and handed it to Shen Qingrou.
Although Ye Cheng was discussing the project, Shen Qingrou's position represented the Shen Group, so she should be the first to review the contract.
Shen Qingrou didn't even look at it before handing it directly to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng took the contract with both hands, opened it and looked at it carefully. Finding no problems, he nodded to Shen Qingrou.
Shen Qingrou looked at Xu Menghao: "I can sign now. Is there anything else you would like to add, District Chief?"
Xu Menghao gestured, "It's all in the contract, just sign it."
Secretary Wei handed her a pen, and Shen Qingrou signed her name elegantly under his guidance.
After she signed it, Secretary Wei handed the contract to Xu Menghao.
After signing the papers, Xu Menghao walked over to Ye Cheng and said, "The development rights are now yours. Qingyuan Mountain is a demonstration project for our eastern district. Whether it can be done well or not depends on Brother Ye's efforts."
Happy cooperation! "
His use of the phrase "Brother Ye" was actually an endorsement and support for Ye Cheng.
Although he is the boss of the East District, he cannot focus all his energy on one place and still needs the cooperation of his subordinates.
If subordinates secretly obstruct the project, it will be impossible for it to be completed smoothly.
By saying this now, he is telling his subordinates that he is over fifty years old, but for the sake of this project, he is willing to treat Ye Cheng as a brother.
If you don't cooperate properly, don't blame me for being impolite!
However, in this situation, Ye Cheng also had to consider the face of everyone present: "A strong general has no weak soldiers. Under the leadership of District Chief Xu, the East District is full of talented people."
I will learn diligently from my seniors and fully cooperate with all the leaders to ensure the success of this project.
It was a pleasure working with you.
Xu Menghao and Ye Cheng clasped hands: "Let's get it started as soon as possible."
Ye Cheng nodded.
Xu Menghao then turned to Yin Shushan and said, "Mayor Yin, please fully cooperate with Brother Ye's work."
Yin Shushan immediately made a guarantee.
After signing the contract, there was nothing else to do, so Xu Menghao went to attend to other matters.
Ye Chengze and Yin Shushan agreed to go to the site together.
Actually, it doesn't really matter whether I go or not; the plan has already been made.
The main purpose was simply to find an opportunity to invite Yin Shushan to dinner and get to know him better.
A local official is more powerful than a distant one.
Yin Shushan readily agreed.
Ye Cheng left Yin Shushan's contact information and arranged a meeting place before they each drove away.
In the car, Shen Qingrou asked in confusion, "Why did you specifically emphasize having a late-night talk with Secretary Wei? Can't we talk during the day?"
You don't think Secretary Wei has any unusual hobbies, do you?
Ye Cheng was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about? You fujoshi, can't you think of anything normal?"
Shen Qingrou continued teasingly, "Hehehe, I guessed right, you're embarrassed and angry now, aren't you?"
I never imagined you were that kind of person!
Ye Cheng was speechless: "Have you ever seen anyone giving gifts or building connections in broad daylight?"
It's all done secretly behind people's backs.
"Talking late into the night by candlelight" is a metaphor.
That meant I was giving him a gift, and I believe he understood my underlying meaning.
Shen Qingrou asked in bewilderment, "Where did you learn this from? It's so sophisticated, I've never heard of it before."
Ye Cheng chuckled and said, "I created it myself."
Shen Qingrou was shocked: "You created this yourself!"
Are you sure he can understand?
I didn't understand a word of it, but I felt there was something wrong with that "talking late into the night by candlelight."
Ye Cheng said, "If you think there's a problem, then he's a shrewd person, so he must also think there's a problem."
Shen Qingrou then asked, "You mentioned unofficial history to Secretary Wei earlier, specifically mentioning the Yongzheng Emperor. Was there any special meaning behind that?"
Ye Cheng asked, "Is District Chief Xu diligent in his duties? Is he capable?"
Shen Qingrou understood; it turned out she was alluding to Xu Menghao.
"Did he mention the unofficial history of the great scholar Ji? What was the implication behind that?"
Ye Cheng grinned mischievously: "I bet he wants me to send him a beautiful woman."
Shen Qingrou was surprised: "He looks quite refined, he doesn't seem like a lecherous person!"
Are you misunderstanding something? Or are you just a pervert, so you assume everyone else is perverted too?
Ye Cheng suddenly brought his face close to Shen Qingrou's face as she was driving: "Have you ever heard of what a 'refined scoundrel' is?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover; a person may appear virtuous, but they are merely putting on a show."
Shen Qingrou was startled by Ye Cheng's sudden action: "Are you going to demonstrate to me what a refined scoundrel is?"
Ye Cheng sat back down in his seat: "I can't demonstrate that."
Shen Qingrou then asked, "Are you really going to send Secretary Wei a beautiful woman?"
Ye Cheng said, "In the information you gave me, you mentioned that Secretary Wei has a white moonlight, but she didn't accept his pursuit because she thought he was poor."
He's over thirty and still unmarried, stuck at the bottom of society, seemingly a failure.
In my personal opinion, he tends to become obsessed with whatever he is injured in.
His fondness for beautiful women satisfies his sense of lack to the greatest extent.
Of course, this kind of obsession is also his biggest weakness.
As for sending him beautiful women, how could someone as upright as me do such a thing?
Shen Qingrou nodded in agreement: "Your analysis of Secretary Wei makes a lot of sense, but I can't agree with your claim of being upright."
Are you honest? You're not honest at all; you're full of cunning schemes.
"If you don't send Secretary Wei, the beautiful lady, are you planning to find an opportunity to go clubbing with him?"
Ye Cheng said helplessly, "Alright, stop testing me. I've already laid out the bait; let's see if Secretary Wei will take the bait."
Shen Qingrou suddenly felt a pang of anxiety: "What if we find out in the end that he really is connected to Gray Tower?"
