Xiao Hong pulled Shen Yi to sit on the sofa.
"My uncle was sent to Africa a long time ago, and my parents are too busy managing the family business to find the time to help him."
"I was on summer vacation when they conscripted me."
Shen Yi curled his lip without any politeness.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about conscription? You've become a member of the delegation and received a warm welcome from the country, and you're still feeling wronged?"
Xiao Hong laughed twice.
"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged, how could I dare to feel wronged?"
"However, what makes me happiest is being able to meet you all."
"You all had a good time in university, right?"
After Xiao Hong finished speaking, he looked at Li Tian.
Li Tian had already adjusted her mindset when Xiao Hong came in.
"It's alright, I'm just going through the motions with all the learning, but I'm not as well-informed as you are outside."
Xiao Hong shook his head.
"Li Tian, you're starting to give me that official talk now. When I invited you to Hong Kong two years ago, there was absolutely no other reason behind it."
After saying this, Xiao Hong seemed to feel a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
"I know that trust isn't something you can just buy. I won't dwell on the past; I'll leave it to you to see how I perform in the future."
Li Tian laughed.
"Xiao Hong, please forgive my family's concerns. After all, I am still young and a minor, and I cannot make decisions on my own."
"We're all friends, let's just talk it out and move on."
"Many good restaurants have opened in Beijing in the past two years. They will definitely treat you to a comfortable meal."
Shen Yi smiled and changed the subject.
Not to mention that the Li family disagreed with Li Tian going there alone, he also didn't approve.
Their relationship has gone beyond simple friendship; it now involves national and familial interests.
Xiao Hong smiled and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder.
"It's a deal, you guys have to treat us!"
Shen Yi patted his chest.
"It's just a meal; we can afford to treat any one of them."
Xiao Hong smiled.
"As you may have guessed, the reason my family sent me here is to try to develop my career in the mainland. Hong Kong will be returning to the motherland in just a few years, and the development prospects in the mainland are much broader."
Li Tian nodded.
"Normal investments that benefit the country and its people are certainly welcomed by the government with open arms."
"If you have an idea, just talk to the relevant staff, and an official will definitely contact you."
They are still students, and it's impossible for their families to act as matchmakers just because of a few words from Xiao Hong.
Normally, if you can't attract investment, you don't need to use personal connections.
"The disaster in Jiangnan was very severe. If the Xiao family is interested, could they consider investing in and building a factory there?"
"I believe they will definitely offer special preferential policies over there."
Xiao Hong nodded.
"My family is in the electronics business. We have a factory in the Special Economic Zone, and we do want to expand into the inland areas south of the Yangtze River."
In fact, he was just representing the Xiao family to test the government's attitude.
He was still a student, did not work in his family's factory, and had no decision-making power.
However, one cannot be ambiguous when it is time to express one's opinion.
The Xiao family did indeed have this plan.
When Li Tian said this, she was actually thinking of her uncle-in-law, Zheng Yu.
The benefits should not go to outsiders; achievements should naturally be given to one's own people.
Attracting investment is definitely the most outstanding achievement.
"My uncle is now the Party Secretary of a disaster-stricken county. If the conditions there are suitable, please give him priority consideration."
Xiao Hong gave a knowing smile.
The Xiao family used to have a lukewarm relationship with everyone.
The advantage is that you won't offend anyone, but if something goes wrong, no one will lend a hand.
If he could establish closer ties with his former classmates, that would naturally be a wonderful thing.
This was partly his original intention in making friends.
"Forget about later, just write down where your uncle lives and his contact information now. Our business delegation will be focusing on that area later."
Li Tian found paper and pen and wrote down Zheng Yu's contact information.
There's no need to say much; just tell Zheng Yu where he lives, and it'll be easy to find the government and locate him.
"Do you know Zhu Xinghe from the Zhu family? His family is from the capital."
Li Tian and her brother exchanged a glance.
It can't be that much of a coincidence.
Zhu Xinghe has only been in the south for a short time.
"I heard you just went south, and you two already know each other?"
Xiao Hong nodded.
"Before I came here, I attended an engagement party with my parents. Zhu Xinghe was one of the main characters there. I had never heard of him before."
"But I heard they have powerful connections."
"He's from a prominent family in the capital."
Li Tian didn't rush to answer, but was curious about Zhu Xinghe's agile movements.
Who is the female lead?
"The only daughter of a bigwig in Guangdong Province, it's a powerful alliance, the engagement ceremony was very grand and solemn."
Li Tian gave a knowing look.
Zhu Xinghe was quite a figure.
It's remarkable that they were able to start afresh so quickly after being ostracized from the capital.
Of course, it's always good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.
Outsiders did not know the real reason why they left the capital.
Li Tian looked at Xiao Hong.
"What do you want to know about this person?"
Xiao Hong shrugged.
It can't be said that there was a direct purpose, but asking certainly implies there was one.
"It's always better to know more about such a big shot. Besides, he's in business, so we'll inevitably have to deal with him in the future."
Li Tian shook her head.
"We haven't had any direct contact with him. His reputation isn't particularly good. You know, he has powerful connections. If you can befriend him, great; if not, definitely don't offend him."
Li Tian gave a mixed account of her views.
She couldn't possibly tell Xiao Hong the whole truth.
Because she was unsure about the relationship between Xiao Hong and Zhu Xinghe.
In business, there are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies.
Xiao Hong nodded.
At least he was certain that Zhu Xinghe was from the capital, and that Li Tian and the others knew him, so his background must be unfathomable.
As for his reputation and character.
That's not what they value most.
Everything is simply for the benefit of each party.
Upon closer examination, how many truly good people are there in the business world?
A good businessman is one who doesn't maliciously cheat people.
Shen Yi knew that Li Tian didn't mean to say more; talking about people behind their backs was easy to spread, so it wasn't worth it.
"Xiao Hong, how many days will you be staying this time?"
"My old house is still there. I might need to take care of some things, so I'll probably stay for a few more days."
Who doesn't have their own private matters? Shen Yi didn't press further.
"Where are you staying? Have you made all the arrangements?"
Xiao Hong smiled.
"That house hasn't been cleaned in a long time, it's definitely uninhabitable. I'm just taking advantage of the delegation to stay in the state guesthouse."
"If I come again next time, I'm afraid I won't get this kind of treatment."
Shen Yishen agreed.
"Yes, let's fully experience the glory of our nation."
Xiao Hong chuckled.
This glory was earned with real money.
Regardless of their purpose in donating, they ultimately contributed a significant amount of money to help the disaster-stricken people.
The honor is well-deserved.
