Back to the teenage years

Chapter 545 No need to give in!
The daylight gradually dims and the lights come on.

There are pedestrians passing by on the Spring Breeze Road, and there is spring breeze passing by.

Li Yufei sat under the window in the hall, staring at the night outside for a long time. She had not been back for a long time since she transferred to the provincial capital Lijin in her senior year of high school. However, every tree and blade of grass, as well as every person here, seemed to have been engraved in her memory.

After a while, Li Yufei saw that Li Xiaoman and Zhang Yunqi had stopped chatting, and turned her head to Zhang Yunqi and said, "Why did you come down?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "The company is discussing cooperation with a foreign component company and needs me to come forward."

Li Yufei asked: "Have you reached an agreement?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "The results will be out in the next two days."

Li Yufei asked, "When will you return to Lijin?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "I'll tell you later."

Li Yufei tucked the hair around her ears and smiled.

Zhang Yunqi was brewing tea and asked, "How about you guys? Is the school on holiday recently? Why did you come down?"

Li Yufei said: "I asked for leave to come here. There was a cultural performance and fundraising event in the city yesterday. My uncle called me and I came here."

Zhang Yunqi understood.

This cultural and artistic performance is naturally also to raise funds for schistosomiasis.

Holding an art performance in Jiangchuan doesn't require a big scale. Li Yufei is not a star and has no works yet. She can only be regarded as a commercial actor at the moment. However, this girl has already teamed up with international superstar Jackie Chan to shoot a commercial before her debut and appeared directly on CCTV. She has some fame, no shortage of resources, and a large list of commercials. She is most likely the biggest star in this art performance.

Li Xiaoman took a sip of tea, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. She continued, "The cultural performance last night was held at the Dongfeng Gymnasium. Many business representatives in the city went there and donated money. Boss Zhang, why didn't you go, a big boss like you?"

Zhang Yunqi was discussing a 400 million yuan deal with Philips yesterday, so how could he be in the mood to watch any art performance? Of course, he didn't know about it at all. He probably thought that the company executives below received an invitation and went to participate. He said, "I didn't know about it yesterday, but so many companies in the city went there. How much money did they contribute?"

Li Xiaoman was not satisfied with Zhang Yunqi's statement, making a good thing seem extremely vulgar, and said: "How can this be called apportionment? Don't say it so harshly. Most companies donated 10 or yuan, of course there are some that donated more. Jiangchuan State Investment Corporation donated yuan, and the one who donated the most was Lu Yuanzhou from Xiongsen Group, who donated million yuan. It was very generous. Director Xie was very happy. By the way, Lu Yuanzhou also went on stage to give flowers to Yufei..."

When Li Xiaoman said this, Li Yufei pulled her wrist under the table, so she held back and said nothing. In fact, she had not finished explaining the matter in detail.

Zhao Chengming, this romantic man, has been pursuing Li Yufei for three years, from Jiangchuan to Lijin, and from Lijin to Jiangchuan. Last night, he saw his father Zhao Jianqiang donate 100,000 yuan on behalf of Jiangchuan State Investment after Li Yufei sang a song. He jumped three feet away with joy. Lu Yuanzhou turned around and donated 1 million yuan directly. The whole audience was boiling. When Lu Yuanzhou went on stage to present flowers to Li Yufei, Zhao Chengming's face was deformed with anger...

Zhang Yunqi said frankly: "No matter what, this money is used to help the people of Jiangchuan see doctors and buy medicine. They have made such a great effort, which is really worth learning from."

Li Xiaoman laughed: "Boss Zhang is being modest now? I heard that you also donated 50 yuan."

Zhang Yunqi corrected: "It's not me, it's Aiwa Electronics."

Li Xiaoman held her cheek with her white and tender hands and asked, "Actually, I'm curious about a question."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "What's the problem?"

Li Xiaoman said: "If you were at the cultural performance last night and saw what Lu Yuanzhou did, would you have donated more?"

Li Yufei turned her head and looked at Zhang Yunqi.

Zhang Yunqi said directly: "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the corridor of the box.

Zhang Yunqi looked over and saw that it was Liu Bin, the head of the Personnel Section of the Health Bureau who had not booked a private room, who was begging for help at the door of someone else's private room, and the noise was getting louder and louder.

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, a person from the provincial department personally went to the door to persuade them: "This is what's going on. Mr. Xie from the Health Department came down from Lijin and wants to receive a few guests. Can the comrades inside make way for him?"

Someone inside said, "Director Xie? I don't know!" Zhang Yunqi raised his eyes and looked inside through the door. The most senior person sitting inside was Wang Hai, director of the Municipal Engineering Bureau.

Liu Bin's voice seemed to be pleading: "In addition to Director Xie, our Secretary Li Hongjie is also coming. They want to entertain some important guests, and it's official business."

The man imitated his tone and said, "This is what happened. Our Director Wang Hai is here today to entertain Secretary Hu Xianxun, and it's also official business!"

Li Xiaoman and Li Yufei heard every word of these sarcastic words, which were particularly harsh to their ears. One was their biological father and the other was their biological uncle.

In fact, with the identities of Li Hongjie and Xie Yun, they couldn't suppress a director in Jiangchuan. This matter itself was very strange. Xie Yun was still okay, as he had a higher position but was not in the same system after all. He couldn't control it and couldn't do anything about it. It would be better for the county magistrate to be in charge.

Li Hongjie is very different.

This also shows that after Yang Jiarong left Malijin, the water in Jiangchuan became turbid again.

At this time, the sound of a car was heard outside.

Zhang Yunqi turned his head and saw a black BMW 740i parked outside the door. Lu Yuanzhou and Liao Ming, director of the Health Bureau, walked in.

Zhu Xianchun, deputy director of the Health Bureau, hurried over to greet him. He probably told him about the failure to book a private room. Liao Ming's face suddenly turned dark and his expression was very dissatisfied. But just such a small matter made Liu Bin so scared that his body was shaking, making Zhang Yunqi feel as if this young man's life was over.

Lu Yuanzhou raised his hand to check the time, and said with a smile: "Director Xie should be here soon. It's okay. Xiongsen Group also has a road connection project in Jiangchuan. I'll go in and say hello."

This young man seemed to have very strong communication skills. Under the guidance of Liu Bin, he walked straight into the box where Wang Hai, director of the Municipal Engineering Bureau, was.

Zhang Yunqi saw him take out a business card from afar, but because they were in the box, he couldn't hear clearly what was said. However, what was quite magical was that Wang Hai's table, who Liu Bin had put up as a threat even to Xie Yun and Li Hongjie, actually stood up and gave up the box.

After the group came out of the box, Wang Hai shook Lu Yuanzhou's hand and said with a smile: "Boss Lu, let's talk about it in detail later. We thought they were joking before. Since Secretary Li and Director Xie really have business, it is only right for us to give way."

"No need to give way! My dad and I will have this meal in the hall today." A voice rang out in the hall, clear yet exceptionally firm.

Lu Yuanzhou, Wang Hai, Liao Ming and others all looked over and saw Zhang Yunqi, Li Yufei and Li Xiaoman sitting under the window of the hall.

The one who spoke was Li Xiaoman.

There were actually not many people present who knew Li Xiaoman’s identity, including Lu Yuanzhou and Liao Ming.

Lu Yuanzhou's attention was attracted by Li Yufei, and then he looked at Zhang Yunqi next to him.

Zhang Yunqi picked up the tea and said to Lu Yuanzhou, "Mr. Lu, come and have a cup?"

Lu Yuanzhou didn't move, but took out a Zhonghua cigarette and lit it.

Liao Ming's dark face was already full of embarrassment: "Ms. Li, this, this is not appropriate..."

Li Xiaoman glanced at him, then shifted her gaze to Lu Yuanzhou and Wang Hai, her voice calm: "What's inappropriate? They are already sitting in the box to eat, why force them? Besides, we invited Secretary Hu Xianxun today, the fake Secretary Li can't afford to give up his position!"

"What Secretary Hu Xianxun? What fake Secretary Li!" A powerful voice came from the entrance of the lobby of Chuncheng Hotel.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Li Hongjie and Xie Yun appear at the entrance of the hall.

Li Hongjie stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm, but there was an indescribable sharpness in his eyes as he glanced at the crowd.

The atmosphere seemed to become tense all of a sudden!
Liu Bin was trembling all over. Liao Ming, with sweat on his forehead, had already walked up to Li Hongjie to explain. Wang Hai was laughing awkwardly. Lu Yuanzhou put out his half-smoked cigarette and when he walked towards Xie Yun, he looked at Zhang Yunqi deeply.

Zhang Yunqi picked up the teapot, filled a cup with warm Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea, and placed it on Li Yufei's table.

Li Yufei held the black tea and took a sip.
