"I... I..." Zhao Desan was stuttering from Wu Min's words, not knowing how to answer.

"Hmph! Both of us sisters are your women now. Are you satisfied, you philandering man?" Wu Min glanced at Zhao Desan enchantingly.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." Zhao Desan didn't know how to answer.

"Sigh... Feelings are really hard to explain. I clearly know that Qiqi likes you, but I still think of you and can't let you go." Wu Min said somewhat helplessly.

Hearing Sister Wu say this, Zhao Desan knew she wasn't blaming him, so he listened quietly as Sister Wu continued: "But I warn you, besides us two sisters, if you go out and flirt with others again, if I find out, I won't be done with you!"

Zhao Desan nodded quickly, but in his heart, he was pondering Sister Wu's words. He thought, could it be that he could sleep with both sisters? Could it be... could it be that they wanted to be with him together? Zhao Desan knew his thoughts were a bit absurd, but with Sister Wu's words, it meant she didn't oppose him maintaining such a relationship with both sisters. As for what to do later, he would take it one step at a time.

Early the next morning, they rushed to the venue of the national investment promotion meeting in Sanya. After arriving, Wu Min discovered that the exhibition halls here were already packed, basically all with investment promotion teams from various local governments in Hainan, and there were basically no governments from other places. Finally, Zhao Desan went to find the staff responsible for organizing the meeting, and after much persuasion, he bought a place of about ten square meters in an inconspicuous corner of the venue at a high price, which counted as the Chanba District's own exhibition area.

Setting up the booth, posting advertisements, and distributing flyers, the members of the Chanba District investment promotion team worked in an orderly manner under Wu Min's command. This wasn't Wu Min's first time participating in such an activity, and the Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, Ma Luko, was very experienced in organizing such activities, so these procedures were already familiar. However, after encountering such cold treatment, everyone had no confidence in their hearts, especially Wu Min. Having traveled such a long way here only to be treated coldly by the organizers made her wonder: could they attract a 'golden phoenix' this time? But fortunately, they had already negotiated with Boss Lin about investing and building a factory in Chanba District, so they wouldn't return empty-handed.

Because basically everyone participating in this activity was an investment promotion team from local governments in Hainan, as an investment promotion team from an outside region, Chanba District seemed much more pathetic. Because the local government's investment promotion teams had the advantages of timing, location, and people, they displayed a glamorous posture, each trying their best to recommend the favorable terrain conditions and preferential investment policies of their own regions. Some were led by county heads or secretaries, and some were even led by city-level leaders like mayors. Everyone put down their usual official airs; as long as an enterprise came to discuss investment, they were welcomed all the way and could sign agreements on the spot, appearing very enthusiastic.

Because this negotiation meeting was held in Sanya, all the enterprises that came to negotiate were basically enterprises that had the intention to invest in Hainan. Compared with the hard-working recommendations of these local government investment promotion teams, there were quite a few enterprise bosses who came to negotiate. Usually, when dealing with these government leaders, they had to keep their tails between their legs and nod and bow, but at this time, it was these government leaders who were begging them. These bosses had a trace of arrogance on their faces, and looking at the preferential conditions proposed by the other side, they would still arrogantly continue to negotiate conditions. That arrogant expression seemed to tell them: me coming to your place to invest is already giving you face.

Compared with other investment promotion teams that had some visitors, no one came to the Chanba District side. On one hand, the booth was too small and inconspicuous; on the other hand, they were an investment promotion team from outside the province and had no attraction to the enterprises that came to participate in the investment negotiation. Wu Min had not expected things to be like this at all. The cold scene made her feel somewhat disheartened, and the Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, Ma Luko, and Zhao Desan and others were all dejected. Such a situation made Wu Min feel very anxious.

For three consecutive days, which was also the last day of the investment promotion meeting, seeing the people from the surrounding local government investment promotion teams with joyful faces, while the people from the Chanba District investment promotion team all looked dejected, Wu Min felt even more disappointed. She knew that if she couldn't introduce a large enterprise with strength this time, having made such a big fuss to come all this way only to negotiate an investment intention with one tire enterprise, then it would be basically impossible for her to strive for political achievements in economic data to be promoted to the city.

Just when Wu Min felt that this investment promotion work could only end in disappointment, a turning point appeared. At this time, Zhao Desan discovered a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, who brought several people to the adjacent booth and was saying something, occasionally gesturing with her hands. However, the staff at the adjacent booth seemed not to understand what she was saying, and they stared at each other blankly.

The adjacent booth belonged to the investment promotion team of another municipal government in Hainan, and its projects were somewhat similar to those of Chanba District, having both local specialties and advantages provided by policies as features to attract commercial investment. At this time, the woman gestured with a medicinal herb for a long time, and seeing that the staff had no reaction, she looked somewhat regretful, so she put down the sample in her hand and walked toward the Chanba District booth.

Zhao Desan saw from afar that this woman's dress was not that of an ordinary woman. She was wearing a bohemian-style long skirt, with a Burberry silk scarf around her neck as an embellishment, the sun hat on her head was also Chanel, and even the sunglasses, one could tell at a glance, were high-end goods. He vaguely heard the woman speaking with an accent from the southern region, but because there was still some distance, he couldn't hear it very clearly.

There's a chance! Seeing the woman walking toward this side, Zhao Desan felt happy in his heart and hurriedly greeted her enthusiastically, asking politely in standard Mandarin: "Madam, do you need my help?"

"Can... can you speak Cantonese?" the woman said in broken Mandarin, appearing very strained.

"Lei hou!" Zhao Desan smiled. He still understood some Cantonese. Seeing Zhao Desan start speaking Cantonese, the beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she started talking to Zhao Desan in Cantonese.

Wu Min was dozing off in a daze just now, but suddenly heard a burst of gibberish. Opening her eyes, she saw Zhao Desan talking to a noblewoman. It didn't sound like a foreign language, and the few people around were also curiously looking at Zhao Desan.

"Xiao Zhao, what country's language are you speaking with her?" Wu Min saw this woman, and after hearing Zhao Desan's explanation, seeing this woman standing in front of the booth with great interest looking at the Chanba District's investment promotion projects and policies, Wu Min stood up and asked Zhao Desan in a low voice.

"It's not a foreign language at all!" Zhao Desan said with a smile, "This is Cantonese!"

"Isn't she Chinese? Can't she speak Mandarin?" Wu Min looked at the woman who was looking seriously in front of the booth with some confusion.

"She seems to have grown up in Hong Kong and can't speak Mandarin." Zhao Desan explained, "This lady's name is Selina, and she is a representative of a comprehensive group listed in Hong Kong. She is quite interested in our Chanba District's investment promotion projects, especially in the areas of medicinal herbs and mineral water."

"Really?" Wu Min was very surprised, but now she couldn't care about that much. Since someone took a fancy to these things, it wouldn't be bad to learn more, so she hurriedly said to Zhao Desan: "Then you act as a translator, introduce me to this woman, and I will talk to her."

Zhao Desan knew that Sister Wu must be very excited in her heart right now. After all, besides the tire manufacturing enterprise that had already been negotiated, so far, no enterprise had really been interested in entering Chanba District. Having finally caught one, how could she not be excited? Zhao Desan nodded and politely introduced Wu Min to Selina. Selina was also somewhat surprised to see that the District Committee Secretary who came for investment promotion was also a beautiful woman who looked very elegant. However, seeing Wu Min's enthusiastic attitude, she had a bit of a good impression. All along, the impression that mainland officials had left on her was that of a high-and-mighty official attitude, which made her have the idea of continuing to talk with Wu Min.

The two sides communicated through Zhao Desan's translation. After communicating, Zhao Desan and Wu Min learned that this was a Hong Kong businesswoman from a family enterprise, with the family surname Shangguan. However, because this Ms. Selina had lived abroad since she was a child and only returned to Hong Kong to work in the family enterprise after graduating from a foreign university, the enterprise mainly operated in real estate and manufacturing, and also involved many fields such as pharmaceutical production and the beverage and food industry. It was a large comprehensive enterprise group, and her father was the chairman of the group, but because he was old, the main business of the company was handled by Selina.

After a brief exchange, Wu Min learned that this Ms. Selina was very interested in the projects and policies they had come to promote. One was about traditional Chinese medicine, and the other was about the beverage and food industry. Selina said that in recent years, due to the fierce competition in the pharmaceutical market, while the traditional Chinese medicine market was flourishing and increasingly favored by patients, the profit margin was relatively large. The enterprise intended to invest in a large traditional Chinese medicine enterprise in the mainland and was quite interested in Chanba District's unique terrain conditions and the local people's habit of planting traditional Chinese medicine.

Selina told Wu Min that she was originally vacationing in Sanya and heard that there were many projects at the investment promotion meeting held in Sanya, so she thought of coming to take a look. But she came with a few close friends, two of whom were American friends, and she herself had grown up abroad since she was a child and had stayed in Hong Kong after returning to the country, so she couldn't speak Mandarin. That was why the communication at the booth next door hadn't been successful just now. Fortunately, Zhao Desan could speak a little Cantonese, so the two talked very enthusiastically. Wu Min nodded with a full face of smiles, sparing no effort to recommend Chanba District's favorable investment policies and planning development, which made Selina, who grew up abroad, even more interested in the ancient capital and decided to have a good talk with Wu Min.
