They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Jiang Han's statement is reasonable and well-founded.

From business logic to project expectations, every sentence directly points out the essential issues.

Building a film and television city can bring a lot of benefits to the local area.

It can help you all add more tangible achievements to your performance reports.

Trying to negotiate with me?

Consider why the land has been vacant for several years!

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for Director Zhang, who was in charge, to speak.

To be honest, they had already anticipated this when they heard that someone was interested in the land.

As long as the price isn't ridiculously low, I'll agree.

They simply wanted to secure as many favorable terms as possible before finalizing the investment agreement.

Jiang Han continued speaking without waiting for the other party to respond.

"Employment, consumption, and tax revenue are the three direct returns that a film and television city can bring to the local area."

"My requirement is simple: the land parcel should be subject to the bidding process for commercial land."

"The price is based on the appraised value, without any additional profit-sharing clauses."

Qiu Siyao took out another stack of papers from her bag, which listed the data she had compiled overnight.

"Director Zhang, we have made calculations based on regional economic data."

"After the film and television city is built, the initial job opportunities will include infrastructure construction, studio operation, catering and accommodation, etc."

"These positions range from construction workers to skilled workers to service personnel, covering the needs of different employment levels."

"The annual tax contribution is expected to grow steadily in the third year of the project."

"Once a business district is established, the value of the surrounding land will also rise accordingly, and in the long run, it will be a process of continuous appreciation."

"These data are available for your reference."

Director Zhang took the form and read it through from beginning to end.

Then it is passed on to the other people around it in turn.

Zhang Jianguo had worked within the system in Jingzhou for many years and had met many businessmen, both large and small.

But someone like Jiang Han can personally explain the pros and cons of a project in a clear and logical manner.

Very few.

Zhang Jianguo is 52 years old this year and has worked in the system for nearly 30 years.

He has seen too many developers.

They make grandiose claims, demanding all sorts of support, favorable policies, and low prices right off the bat.

Once the contract is signed, either the construction period is delayed, or the land is held onto and the price is expected to rise.

People like Jiang Han bring their own calculation sheets and list out the benefits one by one.

This was the first time he had ever seen it.

"President Jiang, judging from your work ethic, I believe you can make this project a success."

Zhang Jianguo stood up and extended his hand.

"Based on your conditions, the specific bidding process and the construction of supporting facilities will be handled by the relevant staff after the meeting."

……

That noon, the district government hosted a luncheon.

They were arranged at nearby private restaurants.

The private room was simply furnished, with several small flower and bird paintings by local artists hanging on the walls.

There was no fancy setup, but the dishes were prepared with care.

The casserole was served, and the broth from the braised free-range chicken was still bubbling away.

The steamed sea bass was just caught from the reservoir this morning.

Several dishes of seasonal vegetables, plus a pot of pork rib and lotus root soup, the soup is milky white, and the lotus root pieces are stewed until soft and tender.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the table relaxed.

"President Jiang's willingness to invest is a real lifesaver for us."

Jiang Han raised his wine glass.

"Director Zhang, let's not talk about the terms at the dinner table today, let's just speak frankly."

"Once the project is launched, all needs will be met by prioritizing local resources."

"I won't take advantage of public resources, and I won't suffer any losses either."

Zhang Jianguo slammed his wine glass on the table.

"Great! Mr. Jiang is so agreeable!"

"As Mr. Chongjiang said, all the supporting facilities will be in place within one month. I mean what I say!"

Qiu Siyao listened quietly from the side.

She would occasionally help Jiang Han fend off a drink or two, and she could tell that Jiang Han wasn't just smiling insincerely.

My husband seems to really understand these rules.

Whom to greet, what to say, and when to respond...

Everything was handled perfectly.

They started chatting casually at the dinner table.

Zhang Jianguo mentioned that he had written poetry when he was young and almost went to apply to a drama academy, but his family forced him to take the civil service exam instead.

Jiang Han interjected, saying that Director Zhang's literary talent was still intact.

Why not write a message for the film studio when it opens?

Zhang Jianguo was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, raised his glass, and toasted Jiang Han again.

The dinner party ended at 2 PM.

Zhang Jianguo and Director Li stood at the entrance of the restaurant to see them off.

Both of them had a flushed face from drinking.

President Liu opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz and was about to invite Jiang Han into the car.

Jiang Han waved his hand.

"Director Liu, we've had dinner and drinks. Siyao and I have something else to attend to."

He patted President Liu on the shoulder.

"Thank you for running around today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

President Liu glanced at Jiang Han, said nothing more, smiled and nodded as he got into the car.

Jiang Han opened the car door and let Qiu Siyao get into the back seat first.

He went around to the other side and sat down.

The security personnel arranged by Fengxing were already waiting in the driver's seat.

"President Jiang, where are we going?"

"Yunqi Mountain Villa".

Upon hearing these four words, Qiu Siyao's ears flushed a faint red.

She has been living alone in the villa at Yunqi Mountain Villa recently.

Jiang Han took her there after drinking, and she knew better than anyone what was going to happen.

Qiu Siyao turned her head to look out the window, the blush on her cheeks spreading all the way to her neck.

She reached out and rolled down the car window, letting in a cool breeze that dispersed some of the smell of alcohol.

Jiang Han leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed.

He reached out and touched Qiu Siyao's fingers on the seat, holding them in his palm and gently rubbing his thumb against the back of her hand.

The car was parked at the entrance of Yunqi Mountain Villa.

The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the back door, waiting for the two people to get out.

"President Jiang, I'll wait outside."

"No need, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

The bodyguard didn't ask any more questions, nodded, closed the door, and left.

The motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on automatically, casting a warm yellow glow on the marble floor.

A very faint scent of gardenias wafted through the living room; it was the aromatherapy that Qiu Siyao had changed last week.

Jiang Han entered the room, reached out and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Qiu Siyao stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and ran her fingers through the hair at the back of his head.

A very soft groan escaped from his throat.

When her lips parted, a thin layer of red had already appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Let's go upstairs first."

The two people walked up the stairs.

The door to the master bedroom was pushed open.

The bed sheets were newly changed, light gray pure cotton, and the corners of the quilt were tucked in neatly.

Qiu Siyao stood at the foot of the bed, her fingers pinching the hem of her clothes.

"Honey, what are you looking at?"

"It's up to you."

"I...I have nothing to look good about me."

What do you think?

Jiang Han walked over and pulled Qiu Siyao to sit down on the bedside.

His palm covered her knee, the touch through the stockings was warm and delicate.

The fingertips slowly moved upwards along the curve of the calf.

Jiang Han picked her up and placed her in the center of the bed, then bent down.

When you press your lips against the side of your neck, you can feel the pulse beating rapidly and powerfully under your skin.

Qiu Siyao's skin glowed with a warm luster under the light.

The curves of her waist were accentuated by the shadows, making them appear exceptionally slender.

At one point, she suddenly hugged him tightly, leaving very faint red marks on his back with her fingernails.

"Don't hold back, it's just the two of us here."
