Chapter 14720 Turn in
For several days in a row, Zuoqiu Zheng received several memorials from his subordinates, all of which were about how to increase the income from his industries. However, Zuoqiu Zheng was not very satisfied with these memorials. In fact, under normal circumstances, people like Jia Yu and others usually have some assistants around them to help them deal with some things. So sometimes, the ideas given by Jia Yu and others may not be their ideas, but may be the ideas of one of their assistants. However, these people all have one characteristic, that is, they are really lacking in doing business. It may be easy for you to let them handle government affairs, but it is not certain that they can do business.

However, Dewey never delivered the memorial to Zuo Qiuzheng, and Zuo Qiuzheng did not urge him. However, Dewey was a little anxious. He had just got off work and walked out of the East Palace when he received a call. He saw that the call was from Li Chengyang, so he answered it immediately. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Li Chengyang say, "Brother Wei, can you come to the place where we had dinner before? My father wants to see you." Dewey agreed without thinking, and then took a car to the place where he invited Li Chengyang to dinner for the first time.

When they arrived at the place and entered the room, they saw Li Chengyang sitting there with a man who looked very similar to him. This man was Li Chengyang's father, Li Mingde. When Li Mingde saw Du Wei, he also stood up. Du Wei smiled and saluted Li Mingde and said, "Hello, uncle. I'm Du Wei. It's our first meeting. I'm polite. I'm sorry, uncle, I'm a little late. I'm really sorry."

Li Mingde quickly smiled and said, "Dewey, right? You are too polite. I have heard Yangyang mention your name a long time ago. I am a little presumptuous this time. Please take a seat." The current identities of the two are a little strange. If we talk about social status, Dewey is of course higher, and if we talk about status at home, Li Mingde is higher, so the two are now very polite to each other.

Du Wei was also polite, and then the two of them sat down. After they sat down, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and Li Chengyang personally poured wine for the two of them. After Li Chengyang poured the wine for the two of them, he sat next to Du Wei. Li Mingde looked at her and just smiled, without saying anything. After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Li Mingde took out a report and gave it to Du Wei, and said to Du Wei: "This is a report I wrote based on the list that Yangyang got from home before, and after my investigation. Take a look and see if it is suitable. This report is written by me personally. It was written by someone else, so no one else knows about it, don't worry." Li Mingde said this to tell Du Wei that he didn't tell anyone else about it, because it was related to the East Palace. If others knew about it, they might hold the lifeblood of the East Palace, which was very dangerous. So he made this report himself, which meant that he knew the extent of the matter. After all, the final decision on this matter was made by Zuo Qiuzheng, not Du Wei. Li Mingde's attitude was for Du Wei and Zuo Qiuzheng to see.

Both Li Mingde and Dewey knew that the business report made by Li Mingde was actually a stepping stone for him to knock on the door of the Eastern Palace. If Li Mingde really used this report to knock on the door of the Eastern Palace, then it would be easier for Li Mingde to do business in the future. Although Li Mingde is very rich now, his social status is not very high, especially here in the capital star, where any official can arrest him. He wants to improve his social status, but it is not easy. Those big families look down on him. Even if they do, they only look at his money and his business. By then, those big families will probably eat him up and leave him with nothing, and he can't climb up to people with higher status, so now that he has such an opportunity, of course he must seize it, so it is not surprising that Li Mingde behaved like this.

Of course, all of this is because those people do not understand Li Mingde's true situation. Li Mingde is not someone who can be controlled by anyone. Li Mingde wants to knock on the door of the East Palace not to improve his status, he has greater ambitions, but no matter what the reason, he made this report very carefully. Of course, this report was not made by him alone, but the people who helped him make this report would never tell this matter, because those people are all members of the Presbyterian Church.

Dewey took the report, apologized to Li Mingde, and then he began to read it. Soon he was attracted by the report because this report gave a comprehensive analysis of the industries of the Eastern Palace, and even some information on the revenue of each industry in the past few years. These were all publicly available data, and the report gave a comprehensive analysis of these data, pointing out which industries are the best industries of the Eastern Palace now, which industries have great potential, which industries can be linked together, and which industries must be abandoned. All these things were analyzed, so the gold content of this report is very high.

Dewey read the entire report before he carefully put it away. Then he stood up with the wine glass that Li Chengyang had refilled, and said to Li Mingde: "Uncle Li, your report is really well written. I want to thank you here. I believe this report will be useful to His Highness. If His Highness really uses this report, I will certainly recommend you, uncle. Please rest assured. Come, uncle, I'll toast you a glass." Li Mingde also stood up and clinked glasses with him. Then the two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp. Then they shook their glasses at each other and laughed.

Dewey and Li Mingde are both smart people. They know very well that at this time, what they have to talk about is interests. Only interests are the most important. In the face of such interests, feelings can be put aside. Of course, their discussions will not affect the relationship between Dewey and Li Chengyang. On the contrary, it will make their feelings deeper. After all, their interests will be more deeply bound.

The meal was finished in a very pleasant atmosphere. Du Wei sent Li Mingde and Li Chengyang to the car, and then he left in his own car. He had to go home and rewrite the report so that he could send it to Zuo Qiuzheng tomorrow. Li Mingde sat in the car with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping. Li Chengyang sat there quietly. After a while, Li Chengyang said, "Du Wei is not bad, right?" When she said this, she turned her head and glanced at Li Mingde.

Li Mingde did not open his eyes, but said in a deep voice: "What? Are you tempted? Don't forget that we all have poison in our bodies, and you should also know the strength of those people. You don't think that Du Wei will really be our backer, right?"

Li Chengyang did not speak, but his face changed several times, and finally he stopped talking. At this time, Li Mingde spoke again: "But this matter is not impossible to use. After all, if you can really become Du Wei's wife, and Zuo Qiuzheng really becomes the emperor, then the poison in our bodies is not impossible to cure. After all, those people are not in the light of day. Although they can do a lot of things, what they do is also not in the light of day. Once what they do is exposed to the sun, they will be finished. We are in the dark now, but if we have the opportunity to stand in the sun, I still want to stand in the sun, but this matter must not be known to anyone, because once they know, we will really be finished."

Li Chengyang nodded, but she didn't say anything. Although she was very smart and had received spy training, in order to maximize her value, she was still a virgin. She also had never been in love before, so it was inevitable that she was attracted to Dewey. After all, Dewey was indeed very charming. It would be a lie for Li Chengyang to say that she was not attracted. That was why she asked this question.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Dewey came to the East Palace. He asked to see Zuo Qiuzheng directly. Zuo Qiuzheng was in his study dealing with the matters at hand. When he heard that Dewey was coming, he immediately let Dewey in. After Dewey entered the room and greeted him, Zuo Qiuzheng smiled and said, "Du Changshi, please sit down." Dewey was considered Zuo Qiuzheng's confidant, so he was still very polite to Dewey. After all, before Zhao Hai showed up, all the affairs in the East Palace were handled by Dewey and his men.

Du Wei did not sit down, but bowed to Zuo Qiuzheng and said: "Your Highness, this is my memorial about increasing the income of the Eastern Palace. Please take a look." After that, he handed over the memorial he had copied, and Fu Sheng quickly took the memorial and placed it in front of Zuo Qiuzheng.

Zuoqiu Zheng took the memorial and began to read it immediately. Du Wei said at this time: "Your Highness, this memorial was not written by me. It was written by someone I asked to help me. But I can guarantee that no one will know that it belongs to the Eastern Palace, and no one will tell this matter out." Du Wei knew very well that this matter must be made clear in advance, otherwise it might cause misunderstanding. After all, Zuoqiu Zheng knew that it was not written by Du Wei as soon as he saw the memorial. If Zuoqiu Zheng asked about it later, it would be bad. So Du Wei made it clear in advance, so that if Zuoqiu Zheng asked about it later, he could also reveal Li Mingde's identity. Such a situation was allowed, and Zuoqiu Zheng would not blame him for it.

Zuo Qiuzheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Du Wei say that. Then he nodded and said nothing. Instead, he took the memorial and read it carefully. The more Zuo Qiuzheng read, the happier he looked. Finally, when Zuo Qiuzheng finished reading, he had a smile on his face. Then he raised his head and looked at Du Wei and said, "Du Changshi, who wrote this memorial for you? It's very meaningful, and the analysis of various data is also very accurate. It seems that you have worked hard on it. This person is a talent, right? Who wrote it?"

Du Wei glanced at Zuo Qiuzheng, with an embarrassed look on his face, and then he said, "Your Highness, the person who helped me write this memorial was my girlfriend's father. He is a businessman and his business is pretty good."
