Back to the prime of life

Chapter 99 I Need to Know This Person (Part )
When Xu Weiguo arrived, he took a look and saw that the two of them were chatting. He couldn't help but have a new understanding of Lu Changge's social skills. This kid can talk more than him anywhere. It feels like the bar is his home.

Of course, these were all his inner thoughts. On the surface, he still rushed over to shake hands, "Mr. Wang, you're here so early, I feel embarrassed."

"It's okay. I just happened to have something to do upstairs and came down just in time to finish it."

After they exchanged pleasantries, Lu Changge nodded at Xu Weiguo.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Lu Changge, my nephew."

"He's Director Xu's nephew?" Wang Hongcheng raised his eyebrows. "We already met him just now, but I didn't hear him talk about it!"

"Almost. According to seniority, he's my nephew."

Xu Weiguo crossed his arms and looked at his watch. "Mr. Wang, please wait a moment. I have a few friends I need to call to urge them."

"It's okay, there's no rush."

Lu Changge still didn't know what this meal was for, so he and Wang Hongcheng asked indirectly, "Are you all treated today?"

Wang Hongcheng smiled and shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "They are all leaders of the local government, they have to come."

"for what?"

"Attract investment."

Oh, yes, Lu Changge suddenly realized that he had been overthinking it, almost creating a TV series. In fact, Wang Hongcheng was a businessman with nothing but money. Why else would he be approached for investment?

"Are you really Director Xu's nephew?"

"If he says yes, then it is."

Wang Hongcheng didn't mind his pretense and guessed, "Definitely not."

Lu Changge didn't have time to say anything more because Xu Weiguo started to lead people in. These people were all leaders of the new development zone. Today, he, the deputy director of the office, was personally leading the team to support the people from the investment promotion office.

Wang Hongcheng looked like a young man. Lu Changge didn't expect that he was so comfortable and at ease. Most importantly, he was not arrogant and could get along well with others. Instead, he seemed like the kind of person who was suitable for working in officialdom.

In addition, most of the people in the development zone were recently promoted. They had never seen Lu Changge and were very curious about this young man.

At this point, Xu Weiguo changed his tone again. He addressed a small, sallow-skinned, middle-aged man working at the Investment Promotion Office and said, "Director Lu, this is your relative. He's young and promising, too. I've invited him here today to introduce him to you."

Director Lu narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and replied casually: "Okay, okay, I'll take care of this little brother later!"

Little brother!
Maybe it was because her face was too tender that someone called her that.

Xu Weiguo's eyes froze for a moment, but he didn't say anything at the moment.

While arranging seats, Wang Hongcheng inexplicably gave up his seat to Lu Changge and said, "Boss Lu, you sit next to Director Xu."

Hearing him call Mr. Lu, Director Lu of the Investment Promotion Office next to him changed his expression.

Lu Changge pretended not to see it, and he would not snatch the protagonist position from Wang Hongcheng today.

You have to pay to sit in the C position.

Otherwise, this kind of food is not that delicious.

Therefore, Wang Hongcheng's words "Mr. Lu" can be interpreted as giving him face on purpose, or it can be interpreted as pushing Lu Changge forward.

It's hard to say what happens between people. In short, it's extreme to easily think that others are good to you, or to easily think that others are not good to you.

In a word, people’s hearts are hidden, so don’t think too much.

Of course, on the surface, helping him more meant no one would randomly call him "little brother" anymore. As for that seat, Lu Changge definitely wouldn't sit there. Who knows how expensive the price might be on that chair. It's not like he couldn't invest, but he couldn't sit on it without a clear conscience. That would be a huge rip-off.

After sitting down, Xu Weiguo made a few opening remarks, all clichés, nothing much to say. Finally, he turned to Lu Changge and said, "Changge, Mr. Wang is here today. He graduated from a foreign business school and is quite impressive. It might be helpful for you to hear his insights on our economy and investment."

Lu Changge nodded in agreement.

He understood that what Xu Weiguo did today was essentially the same as when he racked his brains to come up with ideas for him during the water pollution incident.

Only when you are well can I be well.

The reverse is also true.

Wang Hongcheng was even more impressed by Lu Changge after hearing this. What on earth had he attracted others to? It was truly bizarre.

As for other things on the table, they either build relationships and feelings, talk about how your father and I have met before, or flatter each other. Officials say that your family business is big, and businessmen say that you, as a director, will be promoted quickly. That's basically it.

When it came to Director Lu of the Investment Promotion Office, he casually mentioned how determined the municipal government was and how good the policies of the development zone were. He welcomed Mr. Wang to invest here and said they would provide good service.

During this period, Lu Changge learned that the plaza opened by Wang Honghui's family in Jiangzhou was called Jiangxing Commercial Plaza. It was very popular after its opening, and people at the dinner table boasted that it would become the new commercial center of Lelang District in the future.

Lu Changge was stunned when he heard this. Why didn’t he remember that there was such a shopping mall in Lelang District?
Anyway, the leaders of the development zone wanted to take this opportunity to let Wang Hongcheng invest in another one.

However, such a large-scale project cannot be agreed upon in a few words or over a few meals. Instead, it requires constant contact and can only be completed bit by bit.

Today, it’s just the beginning.

Wang Hongcheng asked Xu Weiguo a few more questions about Lu Changge. It was actually a very small detail, but Xu Weiguo caught it and knew that this person was also interested in Lu Changge, so he urged Lu Changge to contact more people.

After the dinner, Lu Changge and Xu Weiguo went together.

In the car, yes, Director Xu now has his own official car. He said to Lu Changge, "What do you think of Wang Hongcheng?"

"An ordinary businessman, I haven't found anything special yet."

Xu Weiguo laughed. "I heard the family's assets are worth hundreds of millions. How can you call it nothing special?"

Lu Changge made this judgment because he later forgot that there was a shopping mall called Jiang Xing among the better ones in Jiangzhou, which meant that in the era of rising and falling, it sank.

"That's his house, not his. But this is a private conversation. I won't say it to his face."

"That's natural. It's hard to separate this kind of person from his family. He just occupies a lot of resources, even if he himself is average."

Lu Changge did not deny this. "He asked me to meet him later. I want to see if he has any plans to invest again."

"Row."

After saying this, Xu Weiguo began rubbing his temples. "Due to the impact of the previous incident, everyone from top to bottom is now focused on water pollution control. At the same time, economic development cannot be ignored. As the new deputy director of the office, I don't know what to do."

Lu Changge thought, this is just the beginning. It is 2007 now. When the financial tsunami hits in a year, Jiangzhou, which mainly relies on foreign trade exports, will definitely be hit hard. You will have even more headaches by then.

On the other side,
Wang Hongcheng was also picked up by his younger brother.

"Lu Changge is indeed an interesting person. No wonder the girl you like admires him so much. You don't know that he is the nephew of Director Xu of the New Development Zone, right?"

Wang Honghui was shocked. "I've never heard of such a relationship between them. Is it true?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's real or not. Even if it's fake, Director Xu is willing to recognize it, so it's the same as the real thing." Wang Hongcheng pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart, "I have to know this person."
