Chapter 1135 The Right Time

The next day, dusk.

Yu Mingyuan and the others went to the Municipal Reception Hotel to pick up Gui Mengjun and his group, and together they went to the place arranged by Lao Li.

In the second car.

Su Tianbei said with emotion, "This President Gui is still amazing. He actually managed to fool my eccentric father!"

Dabai scoffed upon hearing this, "Isn't he just good at sucking up? I just don't want to engage in those worldly things. Otherwise, with my EQ, I would have been your brother-in-law long ago."

Su Tianbei's head buzzed when he heard this. "I beg you, I really beg you, can you stop bragging? What EQ do you have? If you look at my sister one more time, my dad will want to beat you to death!"

Dabai did not argue with Su Tianbei, but said with a sigh, "If that's the case, then I can only be Mingyuan's brother-in-law. I need to hurry up and woo his daughter!"

"Why don't you woo Zhang Taotao?" Su Tianbei asked, "Isn't she pretty cool too?"

"I don't like being a gigolo!" Dabai said very seriously.

"…If it wasn't against the law to fuck your mouth!! I would have to make you submit." Su Tianbei gritted his teeth and cursed, "You're showing off too much, you know that?"

The two bickered all the way to Longhe Wharf in Longkou District.

The convoy stopped, and more than twenty people, led by Jin Maohui, Yu Mingyuan and others, stepped onto the passenger ship.

On the deck terrace, everyone sat around the dining table, chatting and waiting for Li Mingsheng.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Li Mingsheng arrived on the ship very discreetly with five or six people.

"Mayor!"

"Hello, Leader!"

"…!"

Everyone immediately stood up to greet him, while Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the staircase and whispered, "Set sail, follow the predetermined route."

"Alright!" The staff on the ship nodded.

Li Mingsheng took off his suit jacket, revealing a white shirt, and waved his hand, "We're doing things under other people's noses, so let's not be too extravagant. Everyone, sit wherever you like."

Everyone sat down, and Li Mingsheng shook hands with Gui Mengjun, who sat next to the host.

In fact, Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, including Kong Zhenghui, Zhou Tonghui and others, were very clear about Gui Mengjun's purpose for meeting Li Mingsheng today, so after everyone exchanged greetings, no one took the initiative to disturb them, and even the toasting环节 was omitted.

Next to the main seat, Li Mingsheng picked up his chopsticks and turned his head to greet, "Give me a bowl of rice!"

"Okay, sir!" The waiter immediately responded.

"You won't lack alcohol here these days." Li Mingsheng picked up his chopsticks and said in a normal tone, "Let's not engage in the drinking culture, let's eat something and chat!"

"Okay, okay." Gui Mengjun behaved very humbly in front of Li Mingsheng, because after all, in terms of rank, the Dragon City Mayor was definitely a regional leader. The head of an autonomous region has more weight than the head of an ordinary city, not to mention the special political situation in Dragon City.

Li Mingsheng picked up the vegetables and asked casually, "I heard that the political situation in your Golden Triangle has also changed."

Gui Mengjun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the other party meant, "Yes, the old Governor is not in good health, he is seriously ill!"

"Your old Governor is also a hero of his generation." Li Mingsheng sighed and asked softly, "Will it have a big impact?"

Gui Mengjun didn't expect the other party to talk to him so deeply, so after thinking for a while, he slowly replied, "There will definitely be an impact. The new candidate is still unclear. There may be changes in the political affairs, but a family like mine can't be connected with the changes in the upper echelons!"

Gui Mengjun's words were very modest, and he euphemistically conveyed two meanings to Lao Li. First, if Governor Pu passes away, it seems that it will not have a great impact on the Gui family. Second, the changes in the Golden Triangle will not affect the arms business.

Li Mingsheng nodded slowly, "Your family has connections with Yanbei, right?"

"Yes, my mother's family has some kinship with the Pu family. According to seniority, I actually have to call Mr. Gu of Yanbei my brother-in-law." Gui Mengjun said with a smile, "But according to Chinese custom, they're distant relatives."

"Hehe, then your family can be considered royalty?"

"Not really, it can only be said to be the result of generations of accumulation."

"Well, eat, eat." Li Mingsheng greeted.

Gui Mengjun heard the words and moved his chopsticks. After thinking for a long time, he cut into the topic he wanted to talk about, "Mayor Li, actually, I have something I want to report to you this time!"

"Speak!" Li Mingsheng picked up the rice handed over by the waiter and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"The economic environment in Dragon City is so good now, it is indeed fertile ground for developing business." Gui Mengjun paused and said tentatively, "Actually, we also plan to invest in Dragon City, especially the newly established districts and special zones, which are very attractive to us!"

"Hmm, hmm!" Li Mingsheng nodded to show he was listening.

"If you approve, I would like to integrate some capital by the end of next year or the beginning of the year after, and put the hot money into Dragon City to do some bigger projects." Gui Mengjun observed Li Mingsheng's expression, "This will also help promote the economy of Dragon City."

Li Mingsheng turned his head, glanced at Gui Mengjun lightly and said three words, "Wait a little longer!"

Gui Mengjun blinked, "Yes, yes, this matter also depends on the timing!"

At this point, Gui Mengjun didn't mention the investment, and Li Mingsheng didn't continue the topic.

Five or six minutes later, Li Mingsheng finished his meal, wiped his mouth and said, "Xiao Gui, you can play here for a few days, let them entertain you well. I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll leave first!"

"Okay, Mayor Li!" Gui Mengjun immediately got up.

"The timing you mentioned is very important." Li Mingsheng patted Gui Mengjun on the shoulder, seemingly inexplicably.

"Yes, yes!"

After the two finished talking, everyone immediately went to see Li Mingsheng off the ship.

…

Ten minutes later.

Li Mingsheng sat in the car, inserted his hands and looked out the window and said, "You should also accompany Gui Mengjun for a walk later!"

"Okay, Leader!" Li Yuan turned his head and asked with a smile, "Did you reject him?"

"Not a rejection, now is not the right time." Li Mingsheng waved his hand, "He's just paving the way."

…

In the Dragon City Dockworkers Association compound, in a room of a certain special department.

A middle-aged man looked at the board material diagram he made himself and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Zhang Ming?!"

"He's already on his way." The garrison behind him replied.

"This person has some ability, but he's just too slick." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "He should be knocked into shape!"
