Chapter 560

After stabilizing the stock price of ST Tianqi, Chen Yang summoned Huang BaiMing, Zhao Feiyang, Zhou Baolin, Hu Jiahao, and Chen Chong to the villa of the East Jiang Business Alliance on Jiangmen Dao to hold a meeting, discussing the specific intentions of investing in Lianzhou.

Since Chen Yang had put Liu Jianghua forward, everyone present expressed willingness to go to Lianzhou to expand their companies' businesses.

As for what industry they would invest in and how much they would put in, Chen Yang gave no standard. After all, he was merely a middleman; how much investment could actually be attracted depended on Yan Feng's own ability.

After the meeting ended, Huang BaiMing suggested going out to relax. Chen Yang guessed where he wanted to go, and to avoid trouble for himself, he directly declined. But he still promised to reimburse all expenses for this outing.

Only after everyone had driven off did Chen Yang take his fishing rod to the banks of the East Jiang River to enjoy some quiet time.

But Lin Wei's arrival soon broke this tranquility.

"As the chairman of a listed company, you still have spare time to fish here—life isn't bad, huh!" Lin Wei, guided by Du Yue'e, easily found Chen Yang. Seeing him living a leisurely life like idle clouds and wild cranes, her unnamed anger flared up for no reason.

I have to work during the day and take care of the child at night. Chen Yang, on the other hand, ignores everything and still has spare time to fish. This is totally unfair!

"Honey, how did you come?" Chen Yang saw Lin Wei holding Chen Shengli in her arms, his expression unpleasant, and immediately put down his fishing rod to take the son over.

"Who's your wife?" Lin Wei snorted coldly: "We've already divorced; from now on just call me by my given name."

Chen Yang laughed: "It's clearly you who refuse to remarry, so why are you angry at me?"

Lin Wei pinched Chen Yang hard, spoke angrily: "I won't remarry, and I haven't mistreated you, have I? My parents haven't mistreated you either, have they? What's the point of you making a big show of investing in Lianzhou City?"

Chen Yang had long been prepared, and feigned difficulty saying: "Honey, investing in Lianzhou is the governor's order; I'm also forced!"

Lin Wei gave a heavy snort and said: "Then is pulling Liu Shijie and the others into investing in Lianzhou also the governor's order?"

Chen Yang didn't expect that the matter he had just discussed in a meeting would be known to Lin Wei; his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Lin Wei to have infiltrated the East Jiang Business Alliance so quickly.

However, his reaction was also quick; he immediately said: "Honey, this is indeed the governor's meaning; if you don't believe me, you can go ask him yourself."

Lin Wei saw Chen Yang pushing all responsibility onto Liu Jianghua, and gave him a direct eye-roll. As a lowly township party secretary, what qualification does she have to meet the governor? The last time she met Liu Jianghua was at the groundbreaking ceremony of Chen Yang's investment in the East Jiang New City project.

No, you must pull these people to Qingshui City, otherwise don't ever set foot in the Lin family's gate.

Chen Yang didn't want to go to Qingshui City to invest with his face lowered again, nor did he want to argue with Lin Wei; he immediately made an excuse: "Honey, this isn't up to me! If the governor investigates later, even our dad couldn't bear this responsibility!"

Lin Wei showed no fear, extended her right hand to Chen Yang and said: "Give me your phone; I'll go talk to those friends of yours."

Chen Yang thought carefully, confirmed there was nothing unfavorable to him hidden in the phone, then took it out of his pocket and handed it to her.

After Lin Wei took the phone, she immediately started calling according to the contacts list. What reassured Chen Yang was that she only talked about work, asking nothing else; otherwise this weekend would be hard to get through.

After a few calls, aside from Liu Shijie and Huang BaiMing themselves having business in Qingshui City, the others merely exchanged pleasantries with Lin Wei and gave no commitments.

However, Lin Wei was not discouraged, and brought Chen Yang to the villa now belonging to the Lin family to meet Lin Guojiang.

Chen Yang saw Lin Guojiang and Hu Qingwan arrive together in Xingcheng, and guessed he couldn't just brush it off this time.

Because as soon as he said "no", it would mean completely cutting ties with the Lin and Hu families.

"Dad, Mom, what special occasion is today that you've both come over?"

Lin Guojiang saw Chen Yang still willing to acknowledge him, his stern expression eased a little. He lightly sighed and said: "Chen Yang, regarding the matter of the Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company, I really didn't consider things thoroughly."

But Qingshui City is after all your hometown, and Lin Wei is the mother of your child. I hope you can, out of past feelings, lend a hand to Qingshui City's development.

Chen Yang discovered that since Lin Guojiang became mayor, his personality had changed a lot. Previously he was clear about grudges and favors, now he only cares about interests.

He directly said: "Dad, I temporarily won't consider returning to invest in Qingshui. This has nothing to do with you; mainly I just don't want to get too busy."

Of course, if the conditions are suitable, I can recommend the friends of the East Jiang Business Alliance to invest in Qingshui City.

Upon hearing that, Lin Guojiang immediately asked: "Chen Yang, what specific standards do you have for the suitability of the conditions you mentioned?"

Chen Yang answered him: "Dad, I can't answer that. But one thing is certain: the investment environment in Qingshui City must at least give investors confidence, right?"

Lin Guojiang immediately fell silent. During this period he had also done plenty of outward investment promotion, but those out-of-town merchants, after strolling around the city, all found various excuses to leave. The reason is simple: they don't trust Qingshui City's investment environment.

Although Lin Guojiang repeatedly assured that the government would not make things difficult for any enterprise and promised the best preferential policies, he still couldn't win over those merchants' hearts.

"Chen Yang, letting you sell the company was my idea; if you have any grievances, just take them out on me." Seeing Chen Yang insist on the matter of the Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company, Lin Wei immediately stepped in to defuse the situation for Lin Guojiang.

Chen Yang could hardly believe Lin Wei's words. Before selling the company, they had communicated. Lin Wei had chosen to stand on his side.

To avoid making the atmosphere too awkward, Chen Yang decided to step back first. He told Lin Guojiang: "Dad, I'll communicate with the Business Alliance's friends to dispel their misunderstandings about Qingshui City. As for whether they will subsequently be willing to invest in Qingshui City, I can't give you any guarantees."

Fine, as long as they're willing to come, I'll receive them with the highest standard of treatment. What Lin Guojiang wanted was also a fair competition opportunity. Qingshui City's foundation is better than Lianzhou's; as long as Chen Yang's friends are willing to go to Qingshui City, he has confidence in keeping them.

As for the matter that Yan Feng was formerly Liu Jianghua's secretary, Lin Guojiang had no great reservations.

Yan Feng is a mayor, he is also a mayor; their work is both to boost Dongjiangsheng's economic development. As Liu Jianghua, the deputy secretary of the provincial Party Committee in charge of the province's economy, it's impossible for him to show favoritism.
