153. A Private Night Banquet: The Deputy Mayor's Shock and Respect

Twenty minutes later.

The two arrived at a private restaurant called "Jingyaxuan" not far from the hospital.

Although this restaurant has a small storefront and a somewhat secluded location, its interior is elegantly decorated in a classic style, creating a very tranquil environment.

Lin Zhifeng was clearly a regular here. The owner personally welcomed them into the most secluded private room and quickly served several exquisite signature dishes, as well as a bottle of aged Moutai.

The door to the private room was closed, shutting out the noise from outside.

Lin Zhifeng personally unscrewed the bottle, filled Jiang Ye's glass to the brim, and then filled his own glass as well.

He picked up his wine glass, stood up, and looked at Jiang Ye with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Jiang, this first drink is for you! Your life-saving grace is like a second birth! I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please!"

After saying that, Lin Zhifeng tilted his head back and drank the spicy liquor in his glass in one gulp.

Jiang Ye didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip of his wine.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the private room gradually became more familiar and relaxed.

Lin Zhifeng put down his wine glass, let out a long sigh, and a deep weariness and lingering fear flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, I just heard my mother crying on the phone saying that Xiaoya had an accident. I felt like the sky was falling down."

Lin Zhifeng gave a bitter laugh, a tear welling up in his eyes, and poured out his heart to Jiang Ye.

"I've devoted all my energy to my work. Xiaoya is my only daughter, whom I had when I was forty. You could say she was born late in life, and I cherish her dearly."

"However, when Xiaoya was two years old, her mother passed away due to a sudden and serious illness."

"From then on, Xiaoya became my only source of emotional support in this world. If something really happens to Xiaoya tonight... Mr. Jiang, to be honest with you, I, Lin Zhifeng, absolutely do not have the courage to live on. I will definitely go with them."

At this point, Lin Zhifeng's voice choked up, and he picked up his glass and took another big gulp.

Listening to Lin Zhifeng's heartfelt words, Jiang Ye couldn't help but be moved.

He could feel the deep, boundless paternal love emanating from the man before him.

"Mr. Lin is a lucky man, and Xiaoya is a blessed child. She will definitely grow up healthy and safe," Jiang Ye comforted her softly.

Lin Zhifeng nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and gradually calmed down.

Looking at Jiang Ye's young, composed face, which exuded an extraordinary air, he couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, after chatting for so long, I still don't know what you do for a living? Judging from your demeanor, you're definitely not an ordinary person."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks, and said calmly:

"Mr. Lin, you flatter me. I'm just a businessman. I currently run an investment company called Kunlun Capital."

"Clatter!"

As soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, Lin Zhifeng's chopsticks suddenly fell onto the table.

His eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy from exhaustion, suddenly widened, and he stared at Jiang Ye in shock, as if he had seen some incredible monster.

"You... what did you say?! You're the mastermind behind Kunlun Capital?!"

Lin Zhifeng's voice changed tone due to extreme shock.

Jiang Ye, seeing Lin Zhifeng's flustered state, raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded: "That's right, it's me. Mr. Lin, have you heard of our company?"

"I've heard so much about it!"

Lin Zhifeng slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.

"President Jiang, oh President Jiang! You truly are a man of few words, yet you reveal your true abilities!"

Lin Zhifeng sat down again, and his gaze toward Jiang Ye was no longer just filled with gratitude, but also with deep admiration and respect.

"To be honest, as the vice mayor in charge of the economy, I've come into contact with countless investment institutions and capital tycoons. But frankly, I have absolutely no interest in those so-called venture capital firms!"

Lin Zhifeng snorted coldly, his tone revealing a deep disgust for capital.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Ye learned Lin Zhifeng's true identity.

It turns out that the middle-aged man crying his heart out for his daughter was none other than Lin Zhifeng, the executive vice mayor of Hanzhou City in charge of economic and industrial development!

"Oh, it's Mayor Lin!" Jiang Ye said casually, "Why are you so pessimistic about investment institutions?"

Lin Zhifeng smiled:

"I hadn't finished speaking!!"

"Those investment institutions only care about making quick money! They either frantically speculate on real estate, driving up prices and sucking the blood of ordinary people; or they get involved in things like internet finance and P2P lending, making a complete mess of things! They provide absolutely no real help to the real economy!"

At this point, Lin Zhifeng changed the subject, staring intently at Jiang Ye.

"But Kunlun Capital is different!"

"I've seen through Kunlun Capital's investment strategy in Hanzhou over the past two years! You haven't touched those quick-money bubble industries, but instead, you've poured tens of billions of yuan into Hanzhou's high-tech development zone!"

"From semiconductor chip manufacturing to new energy vehicle battery research and development, and even the underlying algorithms for artificial intelligence! Your investments are all in the core technologies that our country currently needs most, and which are also the most vulnerable to being held back by foreign countries!"

Lin Zhifeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and even couldn't help but raise his glass and toast Jiang Ye.

"President Jiang, your investment acumen is absolutely astute! On behalf of the Hanzhou Municipal Government and the people of Hanzhou, I thank you! Kunlun Capital has made an indelible contribution to the booming development of Hanzhou's high-tech industry today!"

Faced with such high praise from the executive vice mayor of Hanzhou, Jiang Ye simply smiled modestly.

"Mayor Lin, you flatter me. I just feel that the true rise of a country or a city ultimately depends on the real economy and core technologies. Making quick money may be exciting, but it's just a castle in the air. Since I, Jiang Ye, hold capital, I should leave something of real value for this society."

Jiang Ye's grand vision made Lin Zhifeng nod repeatedly, and his evaluation of Jiang Ye rose several levels again.

The two hit it off as they talked, from the international macroeconomic situation to domestic industrial upgrading, and then to the future urban planning of Hanju.

Lin Zhifeng discovered that although Jiang Ye was young, his vision was so broad, his thinking so quick, and his grasp of policy trends so precise that it was simply outrageous!

Jiang Ye often only needs a few words to pinpoint the crux of many of the economic problems that have troubled Lin Zhifeng for a long time, and provide a brilliant solution.
