The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 247 Using someone else's name to make a big deal out of nothing (3k)

Northeastern-style iron pot stew is all about being down-to-earth.

When the waiter lifted the four wooden covers at the same time, the instant surge of hot steam made Wang Wanning, who had never had such a dining experience before, instantly brighten her eyes, and even her cherry-like mouth couldn't help but open slightly wider.

"There should be a goose stewing in this iron pot. Try it."

Gu Heng picked up the serving chopsticks on the table and offered Wang Wan Ning a piece of sliced ​​goose leg meat. The goose meat, which had been stewed over a wood fire for more than an hour and served with the restaurant's unique sauce, looked incredibly appetizing.

"Brother Gu Heng, you're so amazing!"

Wang Wanning whispered to Gu Heng, "You can tell what's stewing in this pot just by glancing at it."

“In Northeast China, very few geese can survive the winter.”

Gu Heng picked out a few good pieces of meat for Wang Wan Ning, then picked out a few pieces for himself, and whispered, "After you eat this a few more times, you'll be able to tell the difference at a glance."

“It’s delicious!”

Wang Wanning put the piece of goose leg meat into her mouth, chewed it gently a couple of times, and her eyes immediately brightened.

"That's for sure."

Gu Heng smiled at Wang Wanning. A banquet venue chosen by the Changbai Mountain Management Committee couldn't possibly be bad in terms of either environment or food.

The banquet had just begun, and everyone was still quite restrained.

They exchanged pleasantries and pleasantries, while also taking the time to eat something to tide them over, lest they feel unwell the next day if they didn't have enough to eat when they drank baijiu later.

Today, Zhao Hongbo, as the highest-ranking representative of the investment promotion team, naturally sat in the main seat, flanked by Gu Heng and Fan Hong on either side.

At this moment, Zhao Hongbo looked at Gu Heng and Wang Wanning talking in hushed tones, and then at the demeanor and poise that Wang Wanning displayed in her words and actions, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Mr. Fan, is the girl next to Chairman Gu Chairman Gu's girlfriend?"

Zhao Hongbo leaned closer to Fan Hong, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"For now, we should just be friends."

Fan Hong paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, then responded to Zhao Hongbo in a low voice.

"Oh……"

"Then I understand."

Zhao Hongbo's ability to reach such a position within the system naturally stems from his profound understanding of the vastness and depth of the Chinese language.

Fan Hong's answer implied that Wang Wanning was not Gu Heng's girlfriend at the moment, but that was only for now, and it was hard to say what their relationship would be in the future.

"Chairman Gu is not only young and promising, but also has an extraordinary vision."

Zhao Hongbo's words were clearly loaded with meaning: "Miss Wang appears to be very elegant, so her status must be quite extraordinary, right?"

"In my opinion, Director Zhao is also very discerning."

Fan Hong smiled slightly: "I wonder if Director Zhao has ever heard of Junyao Group of China Overseas?"

"Junyao Group?"

"That sounds familiar."

Zhao Hongbo frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

"Director Zhao, you must have heard of Ruyi Airlines and Junyao Dairy, right?"

Seeing Zhao Hongbo's expression, Fan Hong offered further advice.

"Of course I've heard of it."

After answering, Zhao Hongbo paused slightly, a guess forming in his mind: "Could it be that Miss Wang..."

"good."

Fan Hong nodded: "Junyao Group is the parent company of Ruyi Aviation and Junyao Dairy. Its current total market value exceeds 30 billion, and Miss Wang's father is Mr. Wang Junjin, the chairman of Junyao Group."

Fan Hong did not hide Wang Wan Ning's identity. In fact, just as everyone was about to sit down, he took the opportunity to ask Gu Heng if he should keep it a secret if Zhao Hongbo and the others asked about Wang Wan Ning's identity.

Gu Heng's answer was: there's no need to deliberately introduce it, but there's also no need to deliberately hide it.

In short, if Zhao Hongbo and the others ask, then tell them Wang Wanning's identity; but if they don't ask, then there's no need to bring it up.

For Gu Heng at this stage, Junyao Group can be considered a tiger's skin.

Gu Heng's ability to gain the favor and respect of many prominent entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan at the province's annual entrepreneurs' dinner recently is inextricably linked to his position as a director of Junyao Group.

With a total market value of over 30 billion yuan, Junyao Group may not be considered outstanding in the Yangtze River Delta region, which is full of hidden talents, but if it is placed in Jilin Province, it is a behemoth that looks down on all others.

Apart from Xiuzheng Pharmaceutical and Chifeng Gold, other private enterprises can only look up to him. Moreover, his main business is in the aviation field, which sounds high-end and classy.

If Zhencui Group wants to secure as many preferential policies as possible from the local government when it comes to investing in the Changbai region, it must first instill confidence in the local government regarding its intended investment projects and convince them that it has the ability to increase local employment and promote local economic prosperity.

So-called investment promotion is really no different from blind dating.

The more favorable the conditions the man presents, the more outstanding the conditions the woman he can be matched with will be.

In this context, the level of confidence that a Zhencui Group backed by Junyao Group can inspire in the local government is naturally vastly different from that of a Zhencui Group valued at only a few hundred million yuan. "No wonder Miss Wang looks so elegant and poised; it turns out her family background is so illustrious."

As expected, Zhao Hongbo's voice unconsciously carried a hint of surprise after learning Wang Wanning's identity.

"Director Zhao may not be aware of this."

Fan Hong casually added, "Besides being the chairman of Zhencui Group, our Chairman Gu is also a director of Junyao Group and the second largest shareholder of Ruyi Aviation. That's why our Chairman Gu and Ms. Wang are so familiar with each other."

Gu Heng has many identities. The people who can figure out all of Gu Heng's current identities are either the top entrepreneurs from Jilin Province who stood in the front row at the Jilin Province Entrepreneurs' Banquet that day, or his trusted confidants and trusted lieutenants.

Even Wang Wanning only has a superficial understanding of Gu Heng's many identities; she doesn't have a complete grasp of them.

Director of Junyao Group!

Ruyi Aviation's second-largest shareholder!
When Fan Hong revealed this news, Zhao Hongbo was completely unsettled.

If Wang Wanning's identity is a symbol of Gu Heng's vast network of connections, then...

Therefore, Gu Heng's status within Junyao Group is a reflection of his own strength.

He was a little puzzled just now. Even though Gu Heng was the chairman of Zhencui Group and had hundreds of millions of assets at a young age, making him a promising young talent, it was still not enough to make a noble lady like Wang Wan Ning behave so docilely and attentively.

It turns out that Zhencui Group was just the tip of the iceberg that the other party had revealed, while the part of the iceberg that was truly hidden in the deep waters was the real behemoth.

'Director Huang...'

'You seem to be overestimating yourself today!'

Zhao Hongbo sighed inwardly. As for whether Fan Hong's words were true or not, he didn't really doubt them. If he didn't know about such things, he probably wouldn't actively investigate. But once he knew, it would be too easy for him to verify whether Fan Hong's words were true or false.

……

Gu Heng, standing to Zhao Hongbo's left, couldn't help but let out a meaningful smile as he glanced at the two whispering to each other.

"garrulous……"

"eat more."

Gu Heng placed two more pieces of black pork ribs on Wang Wan Ning's plate: "Stewed food in an iron pot tastes best right after it's boiled. Because there's firewood under the iron pot, as long as it's not extinguished, it will continue to heat up, making the ingredients stewed in the iron pot even softer and more tender."

Black pigs have a more delicious flavor and richer nutritional value than the white pigs commonly found in the market, so their price is much higher than that of ordinary white pigs.

By this time, the pork ribs, which had been simmered over a wood fire for a long time, had absorbed all the rich juices and sauces from the iron pot.

One bite, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

"You should eat more too."

"Aren't you going to drink later?"

Although Wang Wanning ate in a very elegant and refined manner, the oil from the stew in the iron pot inevitably smeared onto her red lips, making them look shiny and delicate, like flower petals, and strangely alluring.

"I'll drink tonight, but not too much."

Gu Heng touched the wine glass in front of him, which was clearly yellow: "This is a specialty wine brewed by the Changbai region. It's fine for these middle-aged men to drink a lot, but if I drink too much at my age, I'll suffer tonight."

"Why are they fine when they drink it, but you suffer when you do?"

Wang Wanning paused, looking slightly puzzled.

Do you know what the specialties of the Changbai Mountains are?

Gu Heng did not directly answer Wang Wanning's question: "Just search it online yourself, and then look at the effects of those local specialties, and you'll understand why."

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wanning immediately followed Gu Heng's instructions and began searching.

The internet quickly provided the answer.

Ginseng: Primarily nourishes the five internal organs and greatly replenishes vital energy;
Sika deer antler: tonifies the kidneys and strengthens yang, promotes sperm production and nourishes blood;

Forest frog oil: Nourishes the kidneys and replenishes essence, nourishes yin and moistens the lungs;
Schisandra chinensis: astringes the lungs and nourishes the kidneys, stops sweating and astringes semen;
……

As Wang Wanning browsed the answers provided online, her face gradually flushed, because she now understood why Gu Heng had said those things.

So-called specialty wines of the Changbai region are obviously brewed from the special products of the Changbai region. But can wine made from these special products still be called specialty wines?
That's clearly an aphrodisiac!

Her brother Gu Heng was already at the prime of his life, and if he drank too much of this kind of alcohol, the consequences would be...

The deeper Wang Wanning thought about it, the rosier her face became.

"knew?"

Seeing Wang Wan Ning's expression, Gu Heng knew that she had understood his meaning.

"understood……"

Wang Wanning lowered her head, her voice barely audible. Her rosy cheeks, combined with her exquisitely beautiful face, truly embodied the phrase "a feast for the eyes."
