Chapter 1143 The Western Regions Have Not Been Poor Since Ancient Times

In the banquet box of Kunlun Hotel, golden light softly sprinkles on every exquisite decoration, creating a luxurious and mysterious Western style.

The walls are hung with hand-woven tapestries with intricate patterns and colorful colors, telling stories of the ancient Silk Road.

In a corner of the box, behind a carved screen, one can vaguely see an ancient zither quietly placed, as if ready to play a melodious ancient tune from the Western Regions at any time.

The waiters were dressed in colorful national costumes, with delicate caps on their heads and tasseled belts around their waists. As they walked lightly, the bells made pleasant jingling sounds, adding a lively atmosphere to this luxurious banquet.

Qing Yun and Sun Hongbing sat in the box. Looking around, Sun Hongbing couldn't help but sigh, "This banquet box in Kunlun Hotel is really unique."

"It was a wise move for our ancestors to conquer this place!"

The two men smiled at each other, with a hint of vulgarity in their eyes that any man would understand.

Fine grape wine in a luminescent cup. In the Western Regions, grape wine is still the best.

Sun Hongbing took a sip of the wine in the glass and praised, "This wine is really good. However, compared with the Western Region style in summer, it still lacks some flavor."

Qing Yun nodded, with a teasing smile on his face, "I'm afraid the bad taste is not the wine, but the dancing of those dancers."

Sun Hongbing laughed and said, "We came at the wrong time. If it were summer, those ethnic costumes with exposed belly would be called ethnic costumes. That's the real Western style.

I heard there are big foreign horses here. In the summer, call Lao Shi, Lao Yang, and Lao Xiong. You are not allowed to bring your wife. Let's have fun here and ride horses. "

Emperor Yun did not dare to accept these words.

Even though Sister Xiaoya was not here now and had gone to deal with other things, he would not dare to do so.

Sun Hongbing gave him a sidelong look, called him a "coward" with a smile, and then stopped talking about it.

This guy has six wives. It would be really difficult for him to go out and play with this group of old hooligans without any of them.

What can Emperor Yun say? He can only say that he is not destined to have that fate in this life.

Moreover, if you want to go to a brothel to listen to music, you can do it at home.

Sister Xiaoya, Zhang Xiaoli, and Su Caiwei, this trio, when they dance, can make him transform into a wolf.

As night falls, the banquet box of Kunlun Hotel is brightly lit, illuminating every detail in the room, making it even more magnificent.

At 8 o'clock, the dinner officially began. The waiters were dressed in colorful ethnic costumes, like elves walking out of a painting of the Western Regions. Their movements were graceful and quick, placing plates of exquisite cold dishes on the table. Each dish was as pleasing to the eye as a work of art.

Qing Yun and Sun Hongbing sat in a beautifully decorated box, talking in low voices, waiting for the dinner to begin.

Their eyes kept wandering over the waiters, praising the Western-style costumes, but at the same time, they couldn't help but have a hint of masculine playfulness.

It's not obscene, it's normal.

Not watching is disrespectful.

At least that's what Emperor Yun thought.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, Mr. Sun, I have long heard of your great names. I am Chen Zhifeng, and I have come here uninvited. I hope you will forgive me."

Following a loud and gangster-like laugh, the door of the box was pushed open and Chen Zhifeng appeared at the door. His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Sun Hongbing's hand trembled slightly, not because there was some magic in Chen Zhifeng's laughter, but because the appearance of this laughter was beyond his expectations.

Kunlun Hotel is no different from other hotels; it is a state guesthouse.

As a state guesthouse, every brick and tile of it exudes solemnity and mystery.

When there are no major reception tasks, this place is open to the public, but like the Great Hall of the People, some areas are not open to the outside world.

Especially the high-end boxes in the banquet hall like the one they were in were not open to ordinary guests.

The security level of the box they were in was so exaggerated that, in his opinion, it was almost an iron wall and ordinary people could not even touch the threshold.

What surprised Sun Hongbing even more was that just before the dinner, the Western Region specially sent a senior official, accompanied by the head of the science and technology department, to visit Qing Yun in person. Before leaving, he also specifically instructed the hotel to ensure Qing Yun's safety and not to disturb him in any way.

Under such strict security and special instructions, Chen Zhifeng was able to move around here as if he was alone, which forced Sun Hongbing to re-evaluate Chen Zhifeng's strength and background.

Chen Zhifeng seemed to enjoy the astonishment on Sun Hongbing's face. He walked up to Qing Yun and extended his hand. "Hello, Mr. Qing."

Qing Yun stood up with a smile and shook hands with Chen Zhifeng. "Mr. Chen, your presence here really makes our dinner party more glorious. Please take a seat, please take a seat."

Chen Zhifeng looked around the box and said with a smile, "The Western-style decorations of Kunlun Hotel are very authentic, making people feel as if they are on the Silk Road thousands of years ago.

The Western Regions style here, Mr. Xiaoqing and Mr. Sun must stay for a few more days to experience it when they come to Dihua. "

Hearing this, Qing Yun responded indifferently, "Mr. Chen is well-informed. The decoration here is indeed unique."

Chen Zhifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, his intuition told him that this dinner was far more complicated than he had expected.

However, when he sat down confidently and prepared to ask the waiter to add more dishes and chopsticks like a host, several details made his smile freeze in an instant.

At this time, three sets of bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed on the table, as if his arrival had been anticipated.

What surprised him even more was that in front of him was a box of Mohe cigarettes and a box of white unlabeled special supply cigarettes. This was exactly his habit - a pack of Mohe cigarettes followed by a pack of white unlabeled special supply cigarettes.

This kind of fit in details made him feel a little uneasy.

What shocked him the most was that there was an Yingjisha meat-cutting knife placed on his seat.

This kind of knife is a specialty of the Western Regions, sharp and exquisite, but Qing Yun and Sun Hongbing did not have it.

He has always presented himself as a straightforward man.

Even at a business banquet, when he ate grilled food from the Western Regions, he only used a small knife to cut it, and then tore it apart with his hands. He drank wine and ate meat with big gulps, and his main focus was on being rough.

A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Zhifeng's eyes. He looked directly at Qing Yun, with a hint of inquiry in his voice, "Boss Qing, you seemed to have known that I would come a long time ago?"

There was a slight tremor in his voice.

After learning that Qingyun had arrived in Dihua, he hesitated for a long time and finally decided to come directly tonight.

But he never told anyone about this decision.

The details he noticed at this moment made him feel a little chilling.

Qing Yun smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders. He was calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
"Mr. Chen is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. My schedule is very tight, so tonight is your only chance to see me. After tonight, you may not be able to see me again."

Chen Zhifeng's expression changed slightly.

This dinner was originally a meeting carefully arranged by him, but he did not expect that it would become a meeting carefully arranged by Mr. Xiaoqing in front of him.

Qing Yun's attitude made him feel unprecedented pressure, and he realized that he might have underestimated the young man in front of him.

Moreover, his understanding of Qingyun is far less than Qingyun's understanding of him.

Because, at this time, a dipping sauce appeared in his place.

It's his favorite.

Chen Zhifeng's vest was sweating.

This dipping sauce is a flavor of the Inuit people and is not available in China.

The juice of pickled puffin is so smelly that ordinary people cannot accept it. But since it is something that has been eaten too much, he only dares to eat it at home.

Most people would never know about his peculiar hobby.

Only people around him would know.

But Qing Yun not only knew about it, but also put this sauce in front of him.

This thing, which is not available in China and only his chef can make in the Western Regions, now appeared in front of him in such a grand manner.

What does this represent?
Chen Zhifeng swallowed unconsciously.

Could it be that this kid has completely inherited the Ling family's strength?
Yes, Qingyun is the only one.

That means your strategy needs to change.

Chen Zhifeng took a deep breath. He knew that he was not facing an ordinary businessman, but a man with a deep background and powerful resources...

Top Yanei!

His attitude became more humble, and his voice was full of sincerity, "Mr. Xiaoqing, I want to make friends with you."

Qing Yun looked at Chen Zhifeng's face, as if assessing his sincerity, then smiled slightly and nodded.

"Well, that sounds great. I personally like making friends."

Chen Zhifeng noticed that Qingyun's attitude had softened, and he quickly seized the opportunity and said,

"I heard that the Yanhuang Group under President Xiaoqing is making mobile phones. I have a lot of sales on hand."

He paused, his tone full of sincerity, "Boss Xiaoqing, please believe me, the reason I intervened in Boss Sun's project this time was entirely out of good intentions."

He licked his lips and continued, “The Western Region is a multi-ethnic area with complicated relationships.

Mr. Sun, you may have thought too simply about the Beipo incident. This is exactly what happened when Song Ruhua started in the Western Regions but ended up with nothing.

The local authorities here can only coordinate but cannot make the final decision. In such a core area, there are countless eyes watching.

What's more, you have now changed the nature of the land from industrial to residential and commercial land, which is even more popular and has attracted people from all walks of life to salivate over it.

I am stuck here now, actually I am helping you to avoid unnecessary troubles."

Sun Hongbing heard this and looked between Qingyun and Chen Zhifeng for a few times. When he saw Qingyun tapping his knees under the table, his face darkened and he coughed with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. If it weren't for you, we would have been torn to pieces by those monsters, right?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that he did not buy into Chen Zhifeng's "good intentions".

But at this moment, a wave of shocking waves was set off in his heart.

What the hell, who is this little bastard Qing Yun? ! And what is his background? !

To be able to make a person who is definitely at least a child of a big courtyard bow his head so readily...

This is definitely not something that a son-in-law of the Qin family or a deputy director of a major project promotion team can do!

At this time, Chen Zhifeng shook his head and squinted at Sun Hongbing, "Boss Sun, don't get me wrong, I will help you with all the follow-up matters of this project, and I guarantee that no one will cause you any trouble.

Don't worry, I have no idea about this piece of land. Just consider it as my gift to Mr. Xiaoqing."

It looked like words of submission, but they revealed a domineering attitude that Sun Hongbing could not question, causing Sun Hongbing's eyes to twitch several times.

He was choked by this statement.

He did not doubt that Chen Zhifeng was deceiving him, creating difficulties where there were none, and then solving the difficulties in exchange for favors.

During the past few days in the Western Regions, he also noticed some unusual things.

The water here is too deep.

And unlike other places in the country, the water here has a different kind of turbidity.

In other places, there are only two kinds of contradictions: in the central areas and within the local areas.

But it's internal after all.

And the Western Regions...

It can be said that this was the most complicated situation he had ever seen in his life.

There is even a sense of internal and external interweaving between the Western Regions and the inland areas, and between ethnic groups...

If this land wasn't so fertile and fragrant, he actually wouldn't want to get involved here.

So when Qing Yun asked him about his plans, his intention to back out was somewhat genuine.

But after seeing the confident look on the little bastard's face, frankly speaking, he became more active again.

Well, at this moment, Sun Hongbing had a new understanding of his iron alliance.

It's ridiculous that I was looking for a strong supporter everywhere. It turns out that the true God has always been by my side.

But although Chen Zhifeng said this frankly and directly, it made him very unhappy.

It turned out that he was just a matchmaker for Chen Zhifeng to meet Qingyun. Although Chen Zhifeng called him Mr. Sun, he actually never took him seriously.

At this time, Qing Yun spoke, put her hand on Sun Hongbing's shoulder, and smiled lightly.

"Maybe Mr. Chen doesn't understand our relationship. Brother Sun is my best friend. I wouldn't have been able to succeed without Brother Sun's help. I'm a very loyal person."

Sun Hongbing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then patted Qing Yun's hand, looking at his smile, feeling warm in his heart.

He was too lazy to guess what Qing Yun's background was.

Sometimes, the best option is to see through the situation but not speak it out. If you speak it out, you will no longer be friends with them.

The kid in front of him is always the little bastard who dared to take advantage of him for nothing when they met for the first time, and he is always the coward who shouts that he wants to do a one-stop service but dares not put it into practice.

Looking at the eyes of the two people in front of him, Chen Zhifeng immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and offended his best friend.

However, Chen Zhifeng did not feel any regret or dissatisfaction. Seeing that Qing Yun was willing to stand up for Sun Hongbing, he felt somewhat happy.

It seems that this young man is indeed a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

He is a bachelor, so he admitted his mistake directly.
"It's my fault! Mr. Sun, I'm so sorry! I'll punish myself with three Sunglasses!"

There are many mistakes in this kind of thing. He didn't say any more nonsense. He picked up the Wuliangye on the table and asked the waiter to bring a bowl.

In Yili, the way of drinking is unique. Locals pour the wine into a small dish and give it a poetic name - "moon wine".

The "Sun Wine" is made by filling a small bowl with wine, which is as strong as the scorching sun and is awe-inspiring.

When Sun Hongbing saw the bowl, his face turned green. A bowl of wine was more than three taels of liquor, and a bottle of Wuliangye could only fill three bowls.

He quickly persuaded, "Boss Chen, it's over! It's over! This way...

We can say that we didn't know each other until we fought. Let's just forget about this and no one will mention it from now on.

Good friends’ friendship is all in the wine. Xiaoqing and I will drink a bowl with Mr. Chen, and we will be good friends in the future.”

There was a hint of helplessness in Sun Hongbing's voice. It was not that he was easy to talk to, but he couldn't stand this unit of measurement.

I've never seen anyone drinking like this!
He knew very well that the boy next to him who started to smirk was not afraid at all.

That guy's alcohol tolerance is bottomless. He claims to have been a professional in helping people get into the car for 18 years. Anyway, every time they drank, no matter whether it was himself, Shi Yuzhu, Yang Xu, or Xiong Haige, they were all helped into the car by this guy one by one.

And the Chen Zhifeng in front of him is obviously also a ruthless person.

I'll use a pound of wine to apologize, and we haven't even started eating the food yet!

Sun Hongbing felt that if he started this, he would definitely crawl under the table before halftime today.

Qing Yun laughed a few times, then stood up.

"Mr. Chen, how about you do what my brother Sun wants? Let's drink this bowl of wine and talk while we eat.

I like making friends. It is fate that I met Mr. Chen today."

Seeing that Qingyun gave him a way out, Chen Zhifeng also went along with it.

Raise the bowl and drink it all in one gulp.

The three of them smiled at each other, the heat of alcohol burning in their stomachs.

Sun Hongbing almost vomited on the spot, and Qing Yun quickly asked him to eat something to drink less alcohol.

Sun Hongbing didn't care about face or not. Anyway, he was not the protagonist today. He was just a drinking companion. He said frankly that he could not drink much, so he gave in and asked for a moon cup to drink with them.

Chen Zhifeng naturally did not take it as an offense. Instead, he felt that Sun Hongbing was a genuine person.

After eating a few bites of food, Qing Yun took the initiative to bring the topic back to the topic.

"Mr. Chen, you may not know that my phone is not something that can be sold well in the Western Regions."

Don't think that the Western Regions are poor...

In 2020, the city with the highest GDP per capita is Pengcheng, and the second-ranked city is from the Western Regions, also known as Heiyushan.

Moreover, this is the first time in Pengcheng's history that it has surpassed Heiyu Mountain.

In the previous 30 years, Heiyushan led the country by a large margin in terms of both per capita GDP and per capita income.

When Yun Di was studying at Shu University, many of his students came from the Western Regions, and everyone's living standard was far ahead of other college students at that time.

Basically, the per capita living expenses are several times more than that of ordinary college students, or even with one more zero.

On the contrary, students from Dihua, the capital of the Western Regions, are poorer...

But this poverty is only relative to Heiyushan. Overall, they are much richer than students in other provinces.

Therefore, the mobile phones of Yanhuang Group, which seem to have powerful functions but are actually enhanced copycat phones, will not have much sales here.

He knew what Chen Zhifeng meant, but Emperor Yun, who always liked to take the initiative, just ignored it.

Seeing this, Chen Zhifeng smiled helplessly.

got used to.

All I can say is that the young master who dares to come out and do things is definitely not a fool.

This is especially true for Qingyun, the wild young master.

But he was confident that he could convince Qing Yun.
