The Chen family is a "landlord". Since Xia Mingpeng and his wife insisted on going back to the Home Inn Express Hotel chain, they naturally arranged a car to take them back to the hotel, and Jiang Min accompanied them in person. As for Chen Zhendong himself, he was kept by Qin Lan.

Qin Lan is a workaholic. Since she wants to intervene in the renovation of the old city in Beishan District, it is definitely not enough to have a project plan alone, and there will definitely be many questions that Chen Zhendong himself needs to help answer and explain. Moreover, Chen Zhendong has only heard the news about the plan prepared by the municipal government. The municipal government has not officially announced it yet. As the leader of the municipal party committee of Dongtong City, Qin Lan naturally understands this kind of thing. It must be overturned before the municipal government announces the final plan, otherwise once the municipal government announces the plan, her second uncle will not be convenient for her to speak again. So when Xia Mingpeng and his wife were sent away, Qin Lan refused to delay Chen Zhendong for a moment.

Chen Zhendong naturally understood that this matter would not be too late. Otherwise, even if Vice Governor Qin was willing to come forward, it would probably be useless. Besides, if this is the case, Vice Governor Qin would definitely not come forward again.

Of course, at this time, Chen Zhendong had never thought that the key figure was actually Xia Yunjie. Since he had intervened, even if the final plan of the municipal government was announced, he could overturn it. It was just that the specific person would have to do more trouble.

So when Chen Zhendong saw Qin Lan so concerned, he was naturally grateful and happy. After personally helping Xia Mingpeng and his wife close the car door, he accompanied Qin Lan and Xia Yunjie back to the hotel lobby.

As soon as the three of them returned to the lobby, the elevator door opened and a group came out from inside. Walking in front were two middle-aged men, one with a big belly and the other with a gentle temperament and a hint of majesty of the superior.

Seeing the group of people walking out of the elevator, Chen Zhendong's face changed significantly, but he immediately returned to normal, and then he faced the elegant middle-aged man with a smile.

"Good evening, Mayor Zhang!" Before the person could arrive, Chen Zhendong had already reached out.

The one who was called Mayor Zhang by Chen Zhendong was the deputy mayor Zhang Rui who mentioned at the dinner table before that he supported his plan.

"So it's Mr. Chen, hello!" Seeing Chen Zhendong appear in front of him, a hint of embarrassment flashed on Vice Mayor Zhang Rui's face, and then reached out to shake Chen Zhendong and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see, I'm sorry this time, I'm afraid you will waste your efforts." After Chen Zhendong shook hands with Deputy Mayor Zhang Rui, the middle-aged man with a big belly stretched out his hand to Chen Zhendong and said, both in his expression and tone, showing the winner's pride.

"Hello, Mr. Han, things are done by man, there is always hope until the end." Chen Zhendong reached out and shook Mr. Han, and replied without showing any weakness.

The colleagues are enemies, and this Mr. Han is Han Xiang, the chairman of Donghong Construction Group mentioned earlier by Chen Zhendong.

If Chen Zhendong really invites Vice Governor Qin this time, this time it is destined to have a fierce conflict with Donghong Construction Group, unless he gives up this project. Since he does not give up, Chen Zhendong naturally does not need to be humble and polite in the face of Han Xiang who is aggressive and acts as a winner at this time.

"Haha, that's it, that's it. Hey, is this your new secretary, Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen is still as sensible as ever. This secretary is good, has a good temperament, and is also beautiful!" Han met Chen Zhendong and knew that he would not give up on this project. Otherwise, he would not have been in his current attitude. The fat on his face couldn't help but tremble, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he was haha. Even when he was talking, a pair of mung bean eyes narrowed slightly, and looked up and down with an ambiguous expression.

Seeing that Han Xiang actually said that Qin Lan was his secretary and there was something in his words, Chen Zhendong couldn't help but change his face. He was about to scold him for not talking nonsense, but Deputy Mayor Zhang Rui was already haha: "Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to you. This is Lu Pinyuan, the son of Governor Lu. He just returned from studying in the United States and is now the deputy director of finance of Donghong Group. You shouldn't know him before."

When Vice Mayor Zhang Rui introduced, a young man who was quite tall and handsome, with a faint arrogance on his face walked up from behind, stretched out his hand at Chen Zhendong and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Chen Zhendong's face changed slightly. He used to think that Donghong Construction Group was just a little bit nepotism and interest relationship with Vice Governor Lu Yilin, so he thought that if he could move out of Vice Governor Qin, he might not have won't get back to the situation. After all, the relationship between his wife and cousin is not much intimate. But after Deputy Mayor Zhang Rui introduced this, he realized that he might have miscalculated the interests between Vice Governor Lu Yilin and Donghong Construction Group.

Lu Pinyuan's appearance for a banquet for Deputy Mayor Zhang Rui shows that the boss behind Donghong Construction Group is probably the Lu family, and it was precisely because of this that Deputy Mayor Zhang Rui chose the Donghong Construction Group's plan. After all, if he is in the career of the officialdom, Vice Mayor Zhang Rui cannot do without the support of provincial leaders.

"So it's Director Lu, hello!" Chen Zhendong's face quickly returned to normal. He shook hands with Lu Pinyuan with a smile, but his mind was turning rapidly, weighing the pros and cons of continuing to participate in the renovation of the old city in Beishan District.

After all, a company that is only a little bit nepotistic about Vice Governor Lu, with Chen Zhendong's current financial power and relationship network, would not be very afraid. But if the boss behind this scene is the Lu family, Chen Zhendong would have to be afraid. Even for this, even if he now has the ace of Vice Governor Qin, he would have to give up decisively. After all, he has only reached the relationship of Vice Governor Qin through his childhood friends. In detail, how much effort he is willing to do with Vice Governor Qin, he has no idea at all.

"Is the information in this beautiful secretary the project plan for the renovation of the old city in Beishan District? As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. I wonder if it can make me see it?" Lu Pinyuan looked at the information in Qin Lan's hand and said with a smile.

Chen Zhendong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and a look of struggle and pain appeared in his eyes.

Although Lu Pinyuan did not speak as explicitly as Han Xiang, the meaning in his words was that he knew very well, that he wanted Chen Zhendong to completely withdraw from this project and that he would express his opinion.

"Director Lu, don't you know the reason for commercial secrets? Since you and Mr. Chen are competitors, don't you think your request is too excessive? Also, correct me, I am not Mr. Chen's secretary." Qin Lan was also the leader of the municipal party committee after saying that he was struggling and painful in Chen Zhendong's eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so how could he not know what Lu Pinyuan meant. Before Chen Zhendong could speak, he was already cold and said without hesitation.
