Guo Peihua smiled faintly, with a look of doting in his eyes, because he had watched Qi Yu grow up step by step. She had been extremely smart since she was a child, and had studied abroad for many years. Many times, her views could refresh people like him, the older generation.
He said softly, "Xiao Yu, this is an extremely important matter for you. I hope you will think it over carefully and don't act on impulse. This investment attraction project in Dongtai is indeed the most competitive project plan among so many cities. But the plan is virtual after all. How to turn it into a reality requires sufficient judgment. I hope you can observe calmly and think from many aspects."
Qi Yu could tell that Guo Peihua was speaking from the bottom of his heart, so she nodded and her face became serious. She said softly, "Uncle Guo, I want to live in Dongtai for a while. Is that possible? That way I can get to know this city in more detail."
Guo Peihua was slightly stunned, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Since you are interested in this city, everything is up to you. But you must remember, remember not to bring personal emotions into the business world."
When Qi Yu saw that Guo Peihua agreed to her request, she stared and nodded, then held up her delicate chin and looked out the window.
That boy is really good at talking, he praised Dongtai to the sky...
Qi Yu thought that he should go on a private visit to see if Dongtai was worth investing in and whether the local customs and culture were as simple and beautiful as he said.

He only had a brief chat with Zhao Guoyi, but Fang Zhicheng knew that Zhao Guoyi's move had brought him a lot of help and would lead to his status in Dongtai rising.
Fang Zhicheng just returned to the office when he received a call from Qi Yu. When the two were talking privately just now, Fang Zhicheng handed her a business card. Fang Zhicheng heard that Qi Yu would stay in Dongtai for two days, so he hurried out to pick her up in a Jetta. Following the iconic billboard that Qi Yu pointed out, Fang Zhicheng saw Qi Yu holding a suitcase. He got out of the car to help Qi Yu put the suitcase in the trunk and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to stay!"
Qi Yu glanced at Fang Zhicheng and asked doubtfully, "Are you not welcome?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand quickly, thinking that Qi Yu was quite outgoing, and said with a smile: "Of course you are welcome. It would be my honor to have you stay for a few more days."
Qi Yu waved her hand and said mischievously: "I didn't decide to stay just to honor you. The city of Dongtai has indeed attracted my curiosity, so I plan to stay for a while and take a good look at this city. And you, as the host, must accompany me. Also, this is a private event for us, which has nothing to do with work, so we don't need an official reception. I can pay you a tour guide fee!" After that, she opened her shoulder bag and took out a pink wallet.
Fang Zhicheng quickly held Qi Yu's hand and said with a wry smile: "Why are you talking so politely?"
"Since you don't want it, forget it." Qi Yu shrugged, feeling that she was indeed a little too cold, and stuck out her tongue and said, "I almost thought this place was a foreign country..."
Paid labor is important in foreign countries, and Qi Yu is obviously used to giving tips.
First, he called Li Hui and asked her to book a suite in the most luxurious hotel in the county. Then Fang Zhicheng sent Qi Yu to the hotel. However, Qi Yu did not get in the car. She shook her finger and said, "I don't want to stay in a hotel. It's not very human..."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and smiled bitterly: "That's really making things difficult for me..."
Qi Yu blinked and asked, "Where do you live?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and said truthfully: "I live in the County Party Committee Guesthouse, but the conditions are not as good as here."
Qi Yu snapped her fingers and said happily: "Then book me in the guesthouse, so that if there are any problems, I can find you at any time."
Fang Zhicheng showed hesitation on his face, thinking that Qi Yu was a distinguished guest. Although the conditions of the guesthouse were good, Qi Yu's family was from the hotel business. If she was arranged to stay in such an ordinary place, wouldn't it be too disrespectful
Qi Yu looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Do you think I'm troublesome?"
Fang Zhicheng quickly denied it and sighed, "How can that be possible! The main reason is that I want to give you the best reception. If you live in a guesthouse, it is obviously not appropriate..."
Qi Yu laughed and said, "Didn't we agree on this just now? This time I am staying in Dongtai for a few days as a private person, so I can't ask for any special treatment..."
Fang Zhicheng stared at Qi Yu's pretty little nose and thought that this daughter of a big family must have watched too many movies and felt that one should experience life from the grassroots level so that one can be down-to-earth. After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and called Li Hui again, asking her to help book a room in the guesthouse.
"It's been arranged." Fang Zhicheng hung up the phone, smiled, and thought to himself that since Qi Yu was looking for a feeling of being at ease with whatever happened, he would take the initiative to cooperate with her and act out this scene with her.
Arriving at the guesthouse, Qi Yu placed the box against the wall, opened her arms, fell straight onto the bed, closed her eyes, and said happily, "I'm so tired, let me lie down for a while."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly, found a kettle, boiled some water for her, and said softly, "You take a rest first, I'll come back to you in ten minutes?"
He glanced at Qi Yu. Qi Yu now looked like a well-behaved kitten, indescribably lazy. Her brown shoes had been kicked aside and her legs were slightly apart. She was lying in the most relaxed way.
When Qi Yu heard that Fang Zhicheng was leaving, she stretched out her hand and shook him weakly, "Don't leave yet. I'll just lie down for a few minutes, rest for a while, and then go out for a walk."
Qi Yu was really tired. She said she would only sleep for five minutes, but not long after, her head tilted and she fell asleep. Fang Zhicheng made a cup of tea, turned around and saw her breathing lightly and steadily. He shook his head helplessly, then sat on the chair and waited for Qi Yu to wake up.
After waiting for half an hour, there was still no sign of Qi Yu waking up. Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that Qi Yu was really brave. She could sleep so peacefully with him being a living person in the room. She was either fearless or ignorant.
Raising his wrist, he found that it was already six o'clock. Fang Zhicheng thought about letting Qi Yu rest for a while, so he walked over quietly, helped Qi Yu spread the quilt, and then prepared to spread it on her. Just as Fang Zhicheng leaned over to help Qi Yu cover the corner of the quilt, Qi Yu suddenly opened her eyes, frowned, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Fang Zhicheng quickly took two steps back, raised his hands to the sky, and explained: "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, and I was afraid that you would be cold, so I covered you with a blanket."
"Are you really so kind?" Qi Yu looked at Fang Zhicheng's face again and again with suspicion.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed: "It's more real than pearls..."
Qi Yu pulled the quilt and checked her whole body. Finding nothing wrong, she said softly, "You are a good person and you are lucky. Not touching me is the best choice you made today because I am a karate master." After she finished speaking, she threw two punches in a very professional manner. In Fang Zhicheng's eyes, she looked quite cute.
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself, no matter what Qi Yu's inner world was like, judging from her appearance, she was innocent, as if she had never been polluted by the outside world. However, this was normal. Qi Yu had been well-fed and well-clothed since childhood, living in an ivory tower, and was extremely well protected. It was natural that she felt a little out of place when she suddenly came into contact with the outside world.
After Qi Yu rested for a while and regained her vigorous energy, Fang Zhicheng took Qi Yu for a walk around the area, chose a good restaurant, and ordered some Dongtai specialties. The novelty made Qi Yu's appetite whetted, but Fang Zhicheng didn't eat much, just watched quietly by the side, and talked to Qi Yu from time to time.
After the meal was finished, Qi Yu touched her slightly bulging belly and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that this restaurant doesn't look big, but the food is so good, especially the sweet and sour carp, it's so delicious."
Fang Zhicheng waved to the waiter, then paid the bill and said with a smile: "If you are willing to invest in a project in Dongtai, I can guarantee that the boss will make this sweet and sour carp for you every day."
Qi Yu puffed up her cheeks and changed the subject: "Let's go to the night market."
Fang Zhicheng did not notice the cleverness in Qi Yu's eyes. He turned around and led Qi Yu out. Not far away, a black car flashed its lights. Fang Zhicheng glanced at the license plate and saw that it was not a local license plate of Dongtai, Huainan. He understood that this must be a bodyguard privately arranged by the Qi Group to secretly protect their daughter. All the actions of himself and Qi Yu from beginning to end were probably under strict surveillance.
Fang Zhicheng was not disgusted. After all, Qi Yu's identity was unusual. Those terrorists probably dreamed of kidnapping her. It would make money much faster than robbing a bank or assassinating someone.
