Chapter 640: Private chat with Li Jia

Xixi hearing me say this, then said: "Uncle, I can only try; if there is another suitable person, I will step down."

Xixi, believe in yourself. In Xue County, your bold work is what matters. I fully support you. Of course, this matter, you cannot tell others for now; after the year passes, then I will announce it. said Cui Chengshan.

Right, what Cui Xian said is correct; today's matter we discussed, no one may spread it randomly. Everything will be spoken of after the year passes. I also said.

Why must we wait until after the year passes? I don't quite understand. Yang Tao asked.

This? Around here, personnel changes usually happen after the year; before the year, we don't move people randomly. Cui Xian explained with a smile.

Yang Tao, don't you understand? It's just to let everyone have a good year.

Personnel appointments and removals are conducted after the year. Xixi's experience is shallow; she will surely struggle to convince everyone.

By then, Cui Xian will still need to think of a solution. I said.

Understood, I won't ask further; everything is left to me. I know how to handle it. Cui Chengshan said happily.

Actually, around here, personnel appointments and removals are usually decided privately; the official announcements have already been settled.

Li Jia went to the city for tourism project development,

Xixi also made a big step forward.

For them, this is a great thing.

I said to Xixi: "Confidential work must be done well; otherwise, you are not fit to be a leader. Do not tell outsiders about this, including your father and mother, understand?"

After the announcement, then tell them. For now, do your main job well; the historical excavation of Ancient Xue Kingdom continues.

Have you been in contact with your father?

Uncle, I understand. I haven't been in contact with my dad; lately I'm not feeling well, so after a few days I'll contact my dad to see what information he has gathered. Xixi said.

There are still over two months until the year ends, Jianqiang; what should we do next? Yang Tao asked.

Yang Tao, investment—you haven't seen the scenery of Xue County? Developing a tourism project needs money; we must put up real cash. You agree, right, Chengshan, Li Jia? I laughed.

Right, what Mr. Zhao said is correct. I heard Ms. Yang, upon coming here, is considering the project; truly, you should seriously consider our Xue County's tourism project.

Like this, there are still places in Xue County you're not familiar with; tomorrow I'll take you to look, guaranteeing you won't regret the investment. Cui Chengshan said.

Alright, then tomorrow I'll trouble Cui Xian. Tomorrow I'm free anyway. Yang Tao said lazily.

Li Jia said: "Tomorrow, Mr. Zhao, how have you arranged things?"

I have nothing tomorrow. I said.

Then good, tomorrow at ten a. m. I have something to report to you. Li Jia said, looking at me.

Li Jia, tomorrow you won't accompany us? Cui Chengshan asked.

Tomorrow, I really have important matters to report to Mr. Zhao. Chengshan, you accompany Ms. Yang. Li Jia refused Cui Chengshan.

Cui Chengshan said nothing more.

After we finished the drinks in our cups, everyone dispersed.

I and Yang Tao returned to the hotel to sleep,

Li Jia sent Xixi home. Cui Chengshan went on his own.

I and Yang Tao returned to the hotel,

Yang Tao did not return to her room; she followed me into the room,

After entering the room, she directly asked me: "Jianqiang, I want to ask you,"

"You said to let me invest in the matter,"

"I really can't go on with this; how much money do I have, you don't have a clue in your heart?"

"Moreover, developing this tourism project definitely isn't something that can be done with just a few million; it's a major undertaking. Do we have that kind of strength? By then, I'll see how you wrap things up."

I smiled at Yang Tao,

"Yang Tao, what are you afraid of? Worst case, you just go back to the United Kingdom; anyway, they can't chase you to the UK for money."

"If I didn't say this, how would others believe me? Look, they're giving us good food and drink. As for us, we take each day as it comes, enjoying the moment."

"I'm not like you; if I'd known you were this kind of person, I wouldn't have contacted you. What kind of person are you? Not a word of truth." Yang Tao angrily shut the door and left.

Her leaving was just fine; I need to take a shower and sleep.

Regarding the investment money, I temporarily need to keep it secret. However, Yang Tao is good; I want to make good use of her.

The next morning at ten a. m., Li Jia came.

I opened the room's door,

Li Jia was dressed very beautifully,

a deep red shirt, collar high open, revealing her fair neck.

Li Jia saw me smile slightly,

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

After saying that, she closed the door.

I pointed to the sofa in the room and said: "Li Jia, please sit."

Li Jia sat on the sofa; I poured her a cup of water.

Li Jia took it,

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for giving me a chance to talk privately. Today I have important matters to report to you."

"Li Jia, I should thank you. You helped me solve a major problem regarding Xixi."

"Mr. Zhao, that's a small matter; Xixi just got stuck in a rut, and a few words from me set her straight. Young people, ah, when young they're most prone to go astray." Li Jia sighed.

"Indeed, not to mention young people making mistakes; even at my age I'm prone to take the wrong path."

"Mr. Zhao, since meeting you, I feel I can learn a lot by being with you."

"Today I came mainly to learn from you." Li Jia said humbly.

I waved my hand,

"Li Jia, you don't need to say that. Your ability is very strong. I have high hopes for you. It's just that the stage in Xue County is too small; later your stage will be bigger."

"This stage, it wasn't Mr. Zhao who recommended it; I really don't know how to thank you."

"Mr. Zhao, I came to see you today mainly to thank you; without you, there would be no tomorrow for me, Li Jia."

"I have a card here; it's some money I saved myself, and also a token of my heart. Please accept it." Li Jia said, having finished, and took out a card to give to me.

I looked at Li Jia.

Then I laughed, hahaha.

"Li Jia, sending me money is really unnecessary. Let me put it this way: I'm not short of money. The Da Heng Group's assets are several billion; in my eyes, that's nothing."

How much can you give me?

Put this away.

I'm helping you, but also helping myself. First, I'm optimistic about your ability; second, I'm optimistic about Xue County's tourism project.

We just happened to meet in Xue County; this is also fate.

"Li Jia, no need to say thanks anymore. Just work hard from now on."

Li Jia, feeling embarrassed, put the card away.

Then he hesitated and looked at me.

Without speaking, his face turned red first.

I understood Li Jia's meaning.

"Li Jia, you don't need to think too much."

"I really don't want anything from you."

"Money, women—I really don't lack those."

"I need a capable assistant; we just need to work together to get things done."

Li Jia's face turned even redder.

Then he said: "I know, Mr. Zhao looks down on me; I was previously with Cui Chengshan. Mr. Zhao, there are some things I really can't do."

I heard Li Jia say that.

I quickly said: "Li Jia, I don't mean that. Between us, there's really no need for that."

"If I had any other thoughts about you, I would have already acted on them."

"I wouldn't wait until today."

"Li Jia, I don't mean to look down on you."

"When a man and a woman are together, first and foremost is mutual respect."

"I respect you."

"You came from elsewhere to Xue County; to have gotten this far, you must have put in a lot of effort."

Li Jia listened to me finish speaking, didn't say anything, and tears first flowed down.
