Chapter 77: They Are All Big Bosses

“City Lord Li, Chairman, this way…”

The car passed through the alley and arrived at the entrance of the restaurant by the sea. The environment was very elegant and simple, and the wooden door was low-key and restrained. Dalong Restaurant.

This name was quite simple.

Li Zhengkang raised his eyebrows slightly. As he walked in, he turned to his assistant and said, “Have you notified everyone who is coming? After all, we didn’t prepare in time. Go get a cup of tea first. We’ll wait for a while.”

“Don’t worry, City Lord. I’ve already informed them.”

While Li Zhengkang was preparing, Xu Wenping, who was on the other side, was also a little strange. He never thought that there would be such an ordinary restaurant on this coastal road. It even seemed a little narrow. After entering the house, other than a simple booth, there was only a big private room.

Xu Wenping could see the excitement in Jiang Yueming’s eyes. He leaned over and before he could ask anything, Jiang Yueming whispered, “Chairman, this restaurant is my own business, but it’s under Assistant Gao Qiang’s name. I originally planned to use it in case of emergencies, but I didn’t expect it to really be useful one day!”

Xu Wenping raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was true. The layout of the outer area was just a middle-to-low-end restaurant. It was better than letting Li Zhengkang, a city lord who was close to the people, go to a luxurious place like a big hotel.

However, there was a huge parking lot in front of them. Even if there were forty to fifty cars, it would not be crowded.

Just as they stepped in, a low-key Volkswagen stopped at the back as far as possible. A middle-aged man in a suit got out and bowed to Li Zhengkang from afar.

Just as he was about to wait for a while, he looked up and saw Jiang Yueming. He said in surprise, “Xiao Jiang? Why are you here?”

There was a hint of surprise in his tone. At the same time, he was interrogating Jiang Yueming. Obviously, even the CEO of the Imperial Corporation should not be able to attend such a meeting.

Jiang Yueming didn’t feel that it was shabby at all. Instead, his expression was interesting. He quickly went forward to shake hands and said, “Hello, President Du!”

“Of course I don’t have the right to sit with you. I’m here to accompany our chairman…”

As he spoke, Jiang Yueming secretly gave him a look.

Du Jinglong looked over and saw Xu Wenping and Li Zhengkang sitting opposite each other. A surprised look flashed across his eyes. Firstly, he was surprised at Xu Wenping’s youth. Secondly, he was surprised that Xu Wenping and Li Zhengkang were sitting opposite each other with cigarettes in their hands. They looked relaxed and calm without any pressure.

“Hiss…”

Du Jinglong sucked in a breath of cold air and whispered into Jiang Yueming’s ear, “Is this the chairman who bought Tongrun Equipment? Tongrun Equipment has already reached the limit for eight consecutive days! I’m afraid it’s just as he said!”

“Who is this gentleman? What’s his relationship with City Lord Li?”

Jiang Yueming was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled bitterly and whispered into Du Jinglong’s ear, “I don’t know the details, but the two of them address each other as brothers. It seems that they want to marry off their daughter or something… In short, it shouldn’t be too bad.”

Du Jinglong’s expression fluctuated, while Jiang Yueming’s face was filled with pride.

Seeing this, Du Jinglong was happy for Jiang Yueming. He smiled and said, “You brat, this time you have an opportunity to soar!”

“Xiao Du! What are you doing? Why are you laughing so happily?”

At this moment, a carefree voice came from outside. It was two old men and a middle-aged man walking toward them. One of the two old men had a goatee and a walking stick in his hand. However, the crutches were covered in glue, and there was some dirt on the cuffs.

The other one was dressed up abruptly. He was wearing a pair of flowery green shorts and flip-flops. His face was glossy and his hair was combed back.

The person who asked was the fashionable old man in flip-flops. Du Jinglong’s expression lit up and he quickly bowed to greet him. “President Kong, Old Master Zeng, Old Master Long! Hello!”

The two old men were already very relaxed, but the middle-aged man seemed to be the leader of the three. The middle-aged man looked like a typical science and engineering man. He had a straight face and did not seem to know the ways of the world.

“Good, good, good!”

“Aiya… The few of us old fellows had wasted too much time and actually let the City Lord wait here?”

While they were talking, a group of people had already poured in.

At this moment, Li Zhengkang also stood up and said with a smile, “It’s fine… Today, Xiao Xu is the host, so I’ve invited everyone over for a meal. If I’ve disturbed you, please forgive me.”

Although they didn’t have much face, Li Zhengkang might say a few polite words. It could be seen that these people who came were all very important in Jin Hai City.

Xu Wenping was actually a little nervous after suddenly experiencing such a situation. He quickly picked up the cigarettes in his hand and distributed them.

The old man who was called Old Master Zeng immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Little mister is very outstanding. You’ve learned how to offer cigarettes at such a young age? Then I’ll take advantage of my seniority and smoke one!”

“Haha… Master Long isn’t old and looks very energetic!”

Li Zhengkang took the lead and entered the room. Everyone began to take their seats. The former took Xu Wenping’s seat, while the first person on the right was Mr. Kong, followed by Old Master Zeng and Old Master Long. Three to five more people came behind, totaling less than ten people.

After taking his seat, Li Zhengkang smiled and said, “Aiya… All of you are the elites of our Jin Hai’s industry and commerce. Since I took over, I have neglected all of you. Today, I would like to apologize to all of you!”

No one would say that it was okay. Everyone waited quietly for Li Zhengkang to speak

“But now I have to ask. I realized that in Jin Hai, there is still the problem of eating and getting cards, which has caused quite a bit of resistance to the elites of the business world. Although people’s livelihood is a big problem, economic development is still the core concept and cannot be neglected.”

“Today, I gathered everyone here mainly to talk about the issue of the cadre style of those who take bribes and secretly do things. The second is to help each other. Only when the business community of Jin Hai City is united can we achieve results. In short, working together to develop Jin Hai City is our personal guiding principle!”

“Elders, you all have connections below. I’ve also seen your information, so I won’t introduce you too much. Today, I’ll introduce you to our rising business star in Jin Hai City. He’s also a close friend of mine!”

“Chairman of the Imperial Corporation… Mr. Xu Wenping!”

After a long speech, a few words fell sonorously. Everyone immediately applauded and gave Xu Wenping a kind smile.

After that, the comments became even more enthusiastic. Everyone introduced themselves one by one. Xu Wenping broke it down in detail and understood the power of these people in front of him..
