Chapter 1215: Don't Bring Trouble Upon Yourself

The plane landed smoothly at Nanhong City Airport, Tong Huaiyu unfastened his seatbelt, wanting to say something to Yuan Wanqi, when Zhao Hong stepped forward.

"Sir, please keep your distance from Ms. Yuan."

The young man raised his eyebrows: "You fucking—"

Tong Huaiyu waved his hand: "Xiao Guang!"

Xiao Guang glared fiercely at Zhao Hong, but still shut his mouth.

Yuan Wanqi smiled and said: "Zhao Hong, it's fine, Mr. Tong has no ill intent, and we might still cooperate in the future."

Tong Huaiyu gave Zhao Hong a meaningful glance, then stopped moving forward and made way.

As soon as Yuan Wanqi stepped out of the cabin door, she saw a line of luxury cars parked below, with a large crowd gathered nearby, including many reporters.

As she descended the spiral staircase, applause suddenly erupted; a young woman in her early twenties, very pretty, handed her a bouquet from her arms.

"Thank you!" Yuan Wanqi took the bouquet and bowed slightly in thanks.

At that moment, a man in a suit, dignified in bearing, under fifty years old, extended his hand.

"Welcome, Ms. Yuan Wanqi, General Manager of Qiangjiang Dongfang from Xiangjiang, leading the team to inspect and invest in Ganjiang Province, supporting the nation's economic construction."

This man was Ganjiang Province's Deputy Secretary Fan Liangjun, also the second uncle of Fan Yu and Fan Jie.

An elegant woman in black professional attire introduced herself to Yuan Wanqi.

Yuan Wanqi smiled and shook hands with Fan Liangjun: "Coming to the mainland to invest and participate in the nation's reform and opening-up will surely become one of the most important and meaningful decisions we Dongfang make. In the future, all Dongfang employees will surely be proud of this decision."

Fan Liangjun happily said: "We hope Ms. Yuan can play a bridging role, bringing more Hong Kong entrepreneurs into Ganjiang, to understand Ganjiang and develop business there.

Our Ganjiang Province faces major national strategic opportunities across the board, with various regions enjoying advantages like low costs and strong infrastructure. We hope Hong Kong entrepreneurs seize these opportunities and accelerate their return to hometown development."

Yuan Wanqi nodded: "I will certainly bring back what I see and hear in the mainland to Xiangjiang and share it with everyone."

"Ms. Yuan, please get in the car." Fan Liangjun personally opened the Audi's door.

"Thank you!" Yuan Wanqi bent down to get in the car, and immediately after, Fan Liangjun also sat down.

Fan Liangjun's secretary, Cui Xiangyang, opened the passenger door and was about to get in, when Zhao Hong tapped his shoulder.

"This is my seat."

Cui Xiangyang frowned, displeased: "This seat isn't yours to take; go sit in the rear car."

Zhao Hong stared sternly and shook his head: "I am Ms. Yuan's bodyguard; she cannot leave my sight, so you go sit in the rear car."

Cui Xiangyang was furious, about to say more, when Fan Liangjun said: "Xiangyang, you sit in the rear car."

Cui Xiangyang swallowed the words already at his throat, dissatisfied, glanced at Zhao Hong, then got into the rear car.

Fan Liangjun didn't mind either, because to retain Hong Kong merchants, one shouldn't put on airs too high.

Moreover, in such a private space inside the car, refusing the bodyguard entry—what does that mean? What are you planning?

Although these are trivial matters, this Dongfang General Manager may not think so much, but he cannot afford to be careless.

The motorcade slowly proceeded toward the special lane, Fan Liangjun said:

"Last year, after the designers spoke and confirmed the reform and opening-up route, competition between cities and regions, investment promotion became the unavoidable main act.

Only by winning this real battle of investment promotion can one seize the initiative and gain control in regional economic competition. Looking nationwide, especially in inland and coastal cities, investment promotion tactics are endless.

But ultimately, a city's appeal is the key to winning investment promotion. As a heroic city and provincial capital, Nanhong City has never lacked appeal.

Just this June, we confirmed the deep implementation of the strong provincial capital strategy, taking reform as the fundamental path, innovation as the fundamental drive, adhering to problem orientation, market orientation, and innovation orientation, seeking momentum, vitality, and dividends from reform.

Accelerate building a hub and four centers, truly transforming provincial capital advantages into development advantages, strengthen and optimize the business environment, through deepening foreign exchanges and cooperation, actively explore investment models, and build a strong magnetic field for investment attraction..."

Regardless of Fan Liangjun's character, his ability is genuine.

After arriving in the city, they went directly to the provincial guesthouse.

Many people had already arrived, besides several heavyweight provincial leaders, the Nanhong City Party Secretary and Mayor were also present.

There were also many state-owned and private enterprise bosses; of course, those who could attend this banquet were either influential or had connections behind them.

………………

At this time, Tong Huaiyu also arrived in Nanhong City, casually found a restaurant to prepare a meal.

When he had just disembarked from the plane, seeing reporters, he had stayed hidden on the plane and not come down.

This is also this guy's cleverness: no matter how arrogant or reckless, he never lets himself be exposed to public view.

"Brother Yu!" Xiao Guang finished ordering, threw the menu on the table: "Let's stay one night in Nanhong City; this flight made my bones sore, and we still have several hours of driving to Gan Province—too much suffering."

Tong Huaiyu said: "Tonight we must go to Gan Province, because the Dongfang inspection team will also arrive there tonight."

Bringing this up, Xiao Guang hehehed with a lewd laugh: "That Yuan woman, though she's put on some years, is truly damn hot, especially that mature charm still lingering—makes my heart itch; if I get the chance, I'll have her."

Tong Huaiyu's eyes turned cold: "Xiao Guang, I warn you: you can mess with any woman, but not that one. Once you do, big trouble will come; even your father won't be able to save you then."

Xiao Guang was unconvinced, but seeing Tong Huaiyu's icy gaze, he could only mutter: "I know, I won't touch her."

"There are plenty of women; don't bring trouble upon yourself." Tong Huaiyu's gaze softened: "Now, with foreign reform and opening-up, many foreign investors still have great doubts about our country.

The state spares no effort in investing massive manpower and resources in overseas propaganda to prove its image; if at this time you can't control your zipper, the result will surely be severe punishment, and you won't even get a chance to go to prison—you'll be sent straight to the execution ground."

"No... it won't be that serious."

Xiao Guang's voice sounded somewhat unnatural; in his view, it's just a Hong Kong woman.

"No?" Tong Huaiyu coldly snorted: "You can try, but I'll have the funeral wreath ready for you first."

Xiao Guang said nothing; he was indeed arrogant, but not stupid. Especially regarding Tong Huaiyu's words, he had believed them since childhood, because they had never been wrong.
