The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 370: The Lover Preparing to Escape (Part )

"At present, the five provincial planning areas in the northern region have all established a managing director and two deputy managing directors, and another supervisor directly assigned from the headquarters, who reports directly to the general director, that is, you. Among these five managing directors, except for the Dongcheng director who took office in recent years, the other few have been in office for more than ten years. The leader of Inner Mongolia is a system we absorbed from the original energy agency, and his qualifications are older than Director Jiang."

"It's a dangerous place, with deep roots and complicated forces. Many supervisors have applied for transfer back within a few months. Professor Liu, who was recently sent from the headquarters, worked as Director Jiang's personal consultant for a period of time. He has worked there for a year and has not applied for transfer back yet."

"In our five-year plan, the most critical step is to eliminate these redundant old employees in the headquarters, remove toxins and clear the silt. Only in this way can we maintain a courageous upward momentum before the new era arrives, fully accept government policies, and make all the orders issued by the headquarters like arrows on a bow, hitting wherever they are pointed!"

"Since your father took over Jiang's Energy, he has put a lot of effort into changing the company. The headquarters has also replaced batches of fresh blood, but the predecessor of Jiang's was too big. In our era, big meant competitiveness. Now it is different from the past. The policy requires us to work hard in a more advanced direction...new energy, nuclear fusion, better intelligent control and application management. Those old-timers have no international vision, let alone innovative spirit. The new generation of competitive professionals are constantly suppressed, and the headquarters can't even reach the grassroots."

"So, among our five regions, the North District is definitely not the best developed, but it is the most dangerous. I don't understand why your father asked you to come here. In fact, it would be better to go to the Central District, where the transformation has already taken shape."

There was silence in the brightly lit living room.

Everyone was listening carefully to Gao Dengfeng's story, feeling deeply moved and filled with emotion.

In fact, what he said is indeed the current situation of Jiang's Energy. Since Jiang Zhengfeng took over this mess, he has launched numerous policies and formulated major guidelines for external expansion and internal reform. The effects have been quite good when implemented on a small scale, and the momentum has been very strong in the past decade.

However, the five major planning areas of the east, south, west, north and central regions have countless branches including solar energy, wind energy, fossil fuels, hydropower and biomass energy, ranging from small villages and towns to regional thermal power plants, undertaking most of the basic work from energy supply to technological development. What a huge plate it is.

The northern part alone is so complex that it is unimaginable.

Jiang's Energy is like a giant lying on the ground. Not to mention adjusting its posture, even breathing correctly requires countless efforts. If Jiang Zhengfeng had not received the support of the people behind the scenes and carried out iron-fisted reforms many years ago, Jiang's would probably have been divided into thousands of small companies by now, and would have penetrated into cities large and small in China like flowing water. By then, the effort required to reform would have been ten times that of now.

The dinner table.

A thoughtful look also appeared on Jiang Ning's face, and she understood the meaning on several levels.

First, he was eager for Chen Yuan to come and change the current bloated and embarrassing situation. Second, the former general director was very dissatisfied with the work being carried out and even had difficulty in properly leading the executive directors under him for several years. Third, reform was imperative and he felt that even the radicals were a bit too conservative.

Dissatisfaction is evident in words.

"If the transformation of the central area has already taken shape, why should I go there?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.

Finished.

Everyone at the table was suddenly stunned, and then burst into extremely hearty laughter.

"Hahahahaha, it turns out that you and your son have the same temper." Gao Dengfeng picked up his wine glass and said with emotion: "I went to your father's office a few days ago and mentioned the current situation. Do you know what he said to me?"

"Uncle Gao, please speak."

"He waved his hand to stop me from nagging, and told me not to think of my homeland when meeting old friends, but to try new tea with new fire...poetry and wine while I am young."

All the middle-aged people looked over here.

"You are your father's sword. In the entire Jiang family, no one has a stronger background and a more ruthless backer than you! So do it with great determination. We old guys have too many concerns and cannot let go. Come, have a drink."

Chen Yuan was stunned and picked up the wine glass.

It was then that he suddenly realized.

His appointment as the general director of the northern region was not a stepping stone for Jiang Zhengfeng to give him to rise to the top, but to make him the leader of the radical faction to check and balance all the conservatives in Jiang's board of directors and its subordinate agencies.

After drinking the glass of wine, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a burning sensation in his stomach.

No wonder……

Only then did Chen Yuan understand. No wonder Pei Youwen and Ji Hai always looked at him in a very special way whenever they saw him.

No wonder when he attended the headquarters meeting as the chairman of Bauhinia Company, the directors had different opinions.

It turned out that from that time on, some people regarded him as an enemy, while others regarded him as a friend.

As the former person in charge, Gao Dengfeng took the lead in expressing his views, and the others also opened up and rushed to introduce their own situations to Chen Yuan. Some of them were old leaders of the management center, and some were high-ranking ministers in the region. The situations in different places were different, but everyone came together to at least express a signal.

They are willing to cooperate with Chen Yuan's reform work and hope to change the current bloated situation.

The topic at the beginning was serious and solemn, mainly because quite a number of people were dissatisfied with Chen Yuan's appointment this time. These people had their own businesses, and they had developed very well relying on the big trees behind them. Naturally, they were unwilling to change the status quo, and they were also afraid of displeasing their superiors.

Liu Jia from Inner Mongolia, the only relatively young person present, is the director of the Yangshao 213 Power Generation Department. He also said in his conversation that a number of colleagues have actively expressed their willingness to participate in Director Jiang’s new plan and have elected him as a representative.

"You haven't met all the leaders yet. In fact, many people wanted to come to this family dinner, but I didn't give them the chance because I was afraid that it would be difficult to talk to them because there were too many people. After the inauguration ceremony, I'm sure many people will come to you for help."

"Of course I welcome you warmly. I'm new here and I have to rely on you seniors."

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you are young, promising and determined. We should rely on you."

After some greetings, the topic gradually shifted from serious and formal business. At this moment, Monana arrived. As soon as she sat down, she gave Gao Dengfeng a warm hug and called him Uncle Gao with a smile on her face.

She sat next to Jiang Ning.

The old guys also started talking about the glorious history of the past, recounting the bloody years since Jiang Zhengfeng entered the Jiang family. Chen Yuan also became interested for a moment.

As the cups and glasses were exchanged, the night was already deep.

……

While everyone was toasting in the main hall of the villa, a small and exquisite luxury car drove in from outside the courtyard and parked in a haphazard manner not far from the door.

Two girls who were dressed fashionably and looked good walked out of the door, one on the left and one on the right.

"Didn't I tell you that the girl who played the role of the club advisor was a green tea bitch. She was very troublesome at the beginning. Sometimes she said this was not allowed, sometimes she said that was not allowed. How could I tolerate her? Does she really think she is a rich lady and everyone has to look up to her?"

"Who said it wasn't? He looked so ugly, like a pig that escaped from someone's pen. The perfume on his body was so strong that it could choke you to death. It was like a whistle was stuck in his throat and it was so hard. It made me sick."

"It's probably that friend named Gu. Don't call them these two next time. It's not bad enough."

As soon as the two girls got out of the car, they walked into the house, chattering about others until they heard voices talking in the main hall, then they stopped.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was guarding the door came out.

"Miss is back, give me the car keys and I'll park the car for you."

"Well, I'm back. What's going on in the house? Did my dad invite guests?" asked the taller girl in the short skirt.

"Yes, we've been drinking for almost two hours. We invited a big shot, and the boss was very happy today. He took out all the fine wines from his collection."

"Big shot? I've never heard from my dad who he wants to accompany," Gao Tongyu leaned over to take a look in surprise, but she could only see a few blurry figures through several screens, "Are you not drunk?"

"No, I'm just keeping it to myself. I'm having a great time," the driver replied.

"Xiao Yu, your dad has guests over, so I won't go to your house to rest for now. How about I go back?" my best friend asked with great emotional intelligence.

"Oh, it's okay. They drink their drinks and we rest upstairs. No one can disturb anyone else."

"That's fine."

As they spoke, the two girls walked into the living room. Gao Tongyu kept trying to see the figures clearly through the gap in the screen. She went up the spiral stairs to the second floor, but in the end she still couldn't make out anything.

In the main hall.

"Are you going to college and working at the same time?" Gao Dengfeng asked in surprise at the dinner table.

"Yes, I have to go to class every week, it's a hassle."

"That must be very hard. We all thought you were concentrating on helping your father with his career and put your studies on hold. I didn't expect Director Jiang to not delay both. How much energy must this take?"

"It's okay to work hard. Lan University is close to the company."

"Lan University? Didn't you go abroad to study? The educational environment in our country is far inferior to that abroad. What a pity."

"I have been living in the north since elementary school, and I was admitted to Lanzhou University by myself. I never thought about studying abroad, but I am glad for it." "Great! President Jiang's education method is indeed different from ours. My daughter is not doing well now. I sent her to study in the UK last year, but this year she asked to take a leave of absence and go home to rest without any reason... It is better to be spoiled than to make your own way step by step. No wonder President Jiang is so humble and modest. I understand now."

When people talked about this, they were filled with emotion. Most of them were middle-aged people. They also went to school from poor families and finally got to where they are today. They gave their children good educational conditions, but their children did not cherish them.

Gao Dengfeng was once a serious college student. He was born in a rural area in southern Anhui. His family was so poor that they could not even afford food. His life is quite inspiring.

The topic started.

They talked about everything from the glorious history to the education system in today's society, then to the class gap, and finally even talked about Jiang Ning.

Some people were curious about which university Jiang Ning graduated from. After asking a few questions, she could only give an answer.

These people thought that Jiang Ning was an "insider" assigned by the headquarters. Since they had never seen him before, their attitude was naturally much more cautious. After all, anyone who could be the secretary of a leader must be a close confidant.

"dad!"

The atmosphere at the table was very lively and everyone's heads were a little swollen from drinking. At this moment, a girl dressed cutely suddenly came out from behind the screen.

She was as tall as Jiang Ning, but a little chubby. She looked a lot like that popular young lady in the entertainment industry, and a bit quirky.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Oh, my daughter is here! Xiaoyu, come here quickly and let me introduce her to you." A smile suddenly appeared on Gao Dengfeng's ruddy face.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see." Monana greeted.

"Sister Na, you are here too!"

Everyone looked over, and Jiang Ning's eyes were no exception. Only Chen Yuan was a little drunk at this time. His brain was thinking about the huge amount of information that these people had just talked about. The situation in the northern region was a hundred times more complicated than he expected. This time it was not a face-saving formalism, but a thorough confrontation between the two factions, fighting for each other's interests.

Just now, when Gao Dengfeng talked about his daughter's problem, he just brushed it off and didn't want to listen to these boring family trivia at all.

At this time, of course, there is no time to care.

However, he didn't care. When Gao Tongyu walked in, her eyes were instantly locked on Chen Yuan. At that moment, she was even a little dazed, staring at his profile without moving her eyes.

On weekdays, Gao's father entertained people in the main hall, mostly with middle-aged colleagues. Today, a young man who looked a bit good-looking came, which shocked her a little. She didn't react, so she stared at him impolitely for a long time.

"Uh... hello Sister Na, uncles... hello!" After Gao Tongyu was stunned, his back straightened instantly, and his voice became a little pretentious and slightly nervous.

This is very different from her usual willful appearance.

She also discovered that among the young people in the main seats was a very beautiful lady wearing a professional suit and with great temperament. Her graceful face was so simple and elegant that there was no trace of makeup at all, just like a natural painting.

Gao Tongyu thought she was pretty and was usually the best among her sisters. But compared to this girl, she was more than ten times worse.

The little girl was shocked and became very restrained.

She was used to seeing how things were done at the dinner table at home, so no matter how dumb she was, she knew what the host seat meant. But the one being invited to the banquet was clearly her father, so how noble must the status of this young man be... She inexplicably felt her breathing stagnate.

The "big shot" the driver just mentioned is probably this boy with slightly red cheeks, leaning sideways on the seat, but why does he look like he is the same age as me?

Countless doubts filled her mind.

"These two," Gao Dengfeng introduced them all and finally came to Chen Yuan. He said with some complacency, "Our new general director of the northern region and secretary Miss Jiang."

"Hello." Jiang Ning extended her hand politely.

Chen Yuan glanced over and nodded at her.

"Dad...is the new director so young?" Gao Tongyu was spoiled after all, so she couldn't help but ask.

"You are young, which means you are a young talent! Okay, go upstairs and have a rest. I have something to discuss with these leaders."

"Understood, Dad."

Perhaps she realized her father's intention to chase her away, Gao Tongyu did not stay long. However, as she left, she looked back every few steps, her eyes fixed on Chen Yuan, as if she wanted to deeply imprint the image of him sitting on the chair with his head lowered into her mind.

When she reached the spiral staircase, she was still somewhat absent-minded and kept peeking through the corner of the screen, so she almost missed a step and fell.

"Oh my god! So handsome... How can he be so good-looking!"

She closed the bedroom door with a "click" and couldn't help but throw herself on the bed. Her legs kept swinging, hitting the soft bed like a fish's tail, and her little face naturally flushed.

Seeing her crazy look, her best friend was dumbfounded and reached out from under the quilt to pat her shoulder.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

"Oh my god! Didn't you see that? Such a handsome little brother! He looks like he walked out of a novel. I'm going to faint."

"Why is he so handsome? Who is he?" my bestie was confused.

"The guest my dad invited looks to be in his twenties at most, a handsome young man with a cool white skin. That hand! That suit! That look! No, I have to find another opportunity to spy on him!"

"Is this true? Is she as beautiful as you described? Who is she?"

"How would I know who it was? My dad kicked me out before I even asked him clearly. No, what excuse can I find to go back?"

……

This family dinner finally ended at around ten o'clock in the evening.

Several old leaders who expressed their loyalty walked him all the way to the door. Chen Yuan was already feeling dizzy at this time, but he forced himself to say goodbye to them.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after he got in the car and started the engine.

"I'm so tired... If you hadn't said the time was up, I would have continued drinking. I don't know where these old guys get the energy from."

"I'm used to drinking, of course I'm better than you." Jiang Ning's eyes stayed on his red cheeks, and she rarely refrained from mocking him.

She took out something from the bag beside her, unscrewed the lid, and a wisp of mist floated out.

"What are you drinking?"

"The water I brought is just warm now."

"That's great. Let me drink a sip. I feel a little dizzy now. Why is this car shaking so much..." Chen Yuan looked at Jiang Ning and suddenly reached out to touch her cheek. "Don't shake. I feel a little dizzy."

"I didn't shake, and..." Jiang Ning stopped talking halfway, hesitated for a moment, and handed over the cup.

The water in the cup was still warm. He took a few big gulps with satisfaction and handed it back, but the rim of the cup was stained with the taste of wine between his lips and teeth.

When you feel uncomfortable, even drinking a sip of warm water is happiness.

"Why didn't you tell me this time that this was your cup and that you didn't let me drink from it...you couldn't bear it? I knew it."

"Oh, just throw it away later. I don't care about this thermos cup." Jiang Ning fought back mercilessly.

Chen Yuan listened to her cold words, but a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, before coming here today, he saw Jiang Ning bringing a thermos cup from home that had not been used for a long time. She filled it with water in the office and did not drink it all day, but brought it to Linzhou... This couldn't be a coincidence. She knew that Chen Yuan was going to drink a lot of wine tonight, but she did it for the sake of face.

At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely happy, like a child who got candy. All the discomfort he had felt for a while seemed to melt away at this moment.

It turns out that Jiang Ning didn't stop loving him. Her feelings were always there, but she just buried them deep in her heart.

"Burp!" He let out a stinky burp.
