Under Tang Yi's warm invitation, no, after Zhou Xing opened his mouth, Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng "reluctantly" accepted Tang Yi's banquet.
Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng are in a very awkward mood at the moment. Today is a family dinner hosted by Tang Yi for his "future son-in-law", but they have the audacity to stay and enjoy the meal. This is a very rude behavior.
However, will they miss a meal
No, no, the real core issue is who to eat with.
Zhou Xing is the chairman who controls all the shares of Shining Star Group, a conglomerate with a market value of over one trillion yuan. Its influence is extremely huge. A little deviation can drive the economy of a place.
For people like Zhou Xing, if they miss today's meeting, it may not be so easy to see him again next time. For the economic development of Anyang, Secretary Lin, Mayor Zeng and others have to bite the bullet and "spend" this meal. .
After everyone sat around the dinner table, Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng told jokes together, relying on the excellent qualities of politicians in dealing with people. After a few words, the atmosphere at the wine table quickly became lively.
"Don't just drink and chat, come on, come on, eat food, everyone eat food." Ye Yufang greeted everyone enthusiastically, then looked at Zhou Xing and said: "Xiao Xing, try the sweet and sour pork ribs made by auntie, take a look Does it suit your taste?"
"Okay." Zhou Xing nodded to Ye Yufang.
When Zhou Xing was about to stretch out his chopsticks, Tang Xin took a step ahead of him and put a piece of orange-red sweet and sour pork ribs into his bowl. He smiled sweetly and said, "My mother's sweet and sour pork ribs are as delicious as Aunt Lan's. Hurry up." Taste it.”
Zhou Xing smiled slightly, quickly picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl, and put it into his mouth. It was crispy, tender, sweet and sour, and the delicious flavor of the gravy immediately exploded in his mouth, conquering his taste buds instantly.
"Auntie, your cooking skills are much better than my mother's! This sweet and sour pork ribs is so delicious." Zhou Xing cleared the food in his mouth and gave a thumbs up with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Yufang's face lit up, she looked at Zhou Xing happily and said, "If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, Auntie will make it for you."
"Hmm, um..." Zhou Xing nodded and continued to eat at the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks.
Tang Xin gave Zhou Xing a roll of her eyes. Those talking eyes seemed to say: Liar, in order to flatter my mother, you actually belittled Aunt Lan's cooking skills.
Zhou Xing smiled back with a "wink" and looked proud.
Seeing Zhou Xing and Tang Xin frequently exchanging glances and showing affection, Tang Yi was probably pleased, and looked at Zhou Xing with eyes full of love.
"Come, Xiaoxing, let's have a drink." Tang Yi raised his glass and invited Zhou Xing to drink.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up, raised his glass and clinked his glass with Tang Yi to drink together.
We ate food and chatted for a while.
In a reciprocal manner, Zhou Xing picked up the wine bottle and filled Tang Yi's empty glass, then filled his own wine glass, picked up the wine glass with both hands, and said in return: "Uncle Tang, I respect you."
Zhou Xing responded to Tang Yi twice in a row. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and was polite and thoughtful. Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng secretly praised him.
After three drinks, the banquet was coming to an end. Secretary Lin took a break and asked Zhou Xing: "Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask if I could trouble you to take some time to give an academic lecture at Anyang Institute of Technology."
After hearing what Secretary Lin said, Mayor Zeng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but applaud his proposal.
Mayor Zeng looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly: "Yes! Mr. Zhou, it's rare for you to go back to your hometown. I wonder if Anyang has this honor?"
Zhou Xing is not only the chairman of Shining Star Group, he is also a genius scientist and the author of the most advanced and popular "Tebo Theory of All Things".
Since the advent of Tebo Theory of All Things, Zhou Xing has not given an academic lecture in public. If Anyang can get this opportunity, Anyang will definitely become famous and famous all over the world.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was slightly startled. He originally thought that Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng would provide some financial support, but he never expected that they would entertain this idea.
"Secretary Lin, Mayor Zeng, I have no experience in giving speeches in this area, and the schedule is a bit rushed. Look...!" Zhou Xing thought for a moment, looked at Secretary Lin and Mayor Zeng and refused.
"Mr. Zhou, I've seen the product launch conference you hosted. You have plenty of experience in giving speeches. As for the time, can you squeeze in some time? This speech shouldn't take up too much of your time." Mayor Zeng looked on. In a hurry, he looked at Zhou Xing and begged.
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, for you it is just a speech that delays a while, but for Anyang, it is an opportunity to promote Anyang to the world. In recent years, due to the investment and construction of Xingyao Group, Anyang has undergone great changes. Changes in robot production base, molybdenum material production base, as well as Tianhai New District, nano medical cabin production base, coupled with the arrival of supporting factories, have created a large number of jobs... Anyang is now like the Shenzhen City in the 1990s, with a rapid development Extremely fast." Secretary Lin excitedly introduced Anyang's economic situation to Zhou Xing.
After a pause, Secretary Lin said solemnly: "Due to the previous shortcomings of Anyang's economic scale, geographical location, etc., Anyang has always had a low reputation in the country and even the province. To continue to seek development, Anyang urgently needs to attract a large number of people. High-tech talents come to Anyang for development, so your academic speech to promote Anyang is a very, very important opportunity for Anyang."
After hearing Secretary Lin's introduction, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly. It was just an academic speech. After he said it, if he did not go to Anyang Institute of Technology to give a speech, he would become a sinner hindering the development of Anyang!
"Secretary Lin said very clearly that the lack of elite talents has now become the biggest problem hindering Anyang's 'deep cultivation and intensive development'. To recruit talents from all over the world, we must first promote the 'Anyang' business card. Mr. Zhou, your This speech is very, very important to Anyang." Mayor Zeng looked at Zhou Xing longingly and said eagerly.
"Well, I understand!" Zhou Xing nodded in understanding.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?" Mayor Zeng was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Xing in confusion.
"You have described it like this, how can I still refuse?" Zhou Xing looked at Mayor Zeng and said, dumbfounded.
"Haha, great, I'm so grateful." Mayor Zeng nodded excitedly and asked eagerly: "Mr. Zhou, I wonder when you will have time? I will ask someone to make arrangements immediately."
"It's rare to go back to my hometown. I have other arrangements tomorrow, so I'll make arrangements for the afternoon the day after tomorrow!" Zhou Xing thought for a moment and confirmed.
"Okay, okay, no problem! It may be too urgent tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow will be just right." Mayor Zeng looked happy and nodded.
Seeing Zhou Xing nodding, the speech was finally finalized. Secretary Lin raised his glass and looked at everyone happily: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for letting us drink this glass to wish your first academic speech a complete success."
Hearing this, everyone raised their wine glasses one after another, and the cups intertwined with each other, making a "ping-ping-pong-pong" sound.
