Chapter 1713: The Looks Association

"Huh?" Clearly, Sun Xiaohui was also very surprised: "There really is one?"

"Of course!" Zhou Andong laughed heartily: "His name is Yu Zhan, he's a veteran. He certainly won't mind that you're a forensic doctor, and he's currently in charge of my security work."

"Besides, he's an excellent cook. I remember you were a foodie back when we were in school. If you two could get together, he'd definitely be able to fatten you up."

"Is he handsome?" Sun Xiaohui asked: "I'm the president of the Looks Association, you know. If he isn't handsome, I'm not doing it."

"Handsome!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "A big guy, one meter eighty tall. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Alright then." Sun Xiaohui wasn't coy: "When you have time, arrange for us to meet."

"Wait until I return to Jiangzhou, then I'll give you a call."

Just as Zhou Andong finished speaking, he saw Jian Zhengrong arrive, followed by a large group of people.

"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush with me."

"My younger brother is getting married and wants to buy a house. It's that residential area at the old electronics factory, called Yuxi Huangting. I'm asking because the interest rate for loans is quite high, and I want to know if it's worth it."

Zhou Andong asked: "What size are you thinking of buying?"

"Around sixty square meters," Sun Xiaohui said: "We can't afford anything too big."

Zhou Andong raised his hand and greeted Jian Zhengrong: "If you trust me, go buy in Qiaonan. The loan isn't a problem; although the interest rate is high, compared to the appreciation of the house, the interest is nothing. Besides, if you're going to buy, buy the ninety-square-meter unit."

"Okay!" Sun Xiaohui said: "Of course I trust you, my old classmate. Since you've said so, I'll buy in Qiaonan."

"I advise you to buy a unit too; buying now is definitely not a loss," Zhou Andong said: "Also, go to Yuxi Real Estate and find the General Manager, Gu Qing. I will call and notify her to give you a discounted price."

"That's not necessary," Sun Xiaohui hurriedly refused: "We can still manage the loan and the down payment."

"Old classmate," Zhou Andong said earnestly: "Don't be polite with me. We're classmates, if I don't handle this small matter for you, how will we face each other in the future?"

"Besides, we have a discounted price policy for people with connections. You don't need to think that I'm only giving you a discount."

Zhou Andong wasn't lying at all. Xiaobei bought a house over there without any discount, simply because Xiaobei wasn't short of that little bit of money.

In fact, when the initial pricing was set, a discounted price was formulated for some people with connections and city leaders.

Although this was a fact, hearing it in Sun Xiaohui's ears, she was still very moved.

"I won't say anything else, old classmate. When you come back, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Alright, I'll contact you when I get back," Zhou Andong laughed: "I have things to do here, so that's it."

Putting down the phone, Zhou Andong thanked the young girl at the bar, then walked back.

"Secretary Jian, Mayor Yang!" Zhou Andong greeted the two: "Why are you here so early?"

"What time is it?" Jian Zhengrong raised his finger and pointed at his watch: "It's almost nine o'clock, is that early?"

Zhou Andong couldn't be bothered to argue with Jian Watching Lao Si: "What's the plan for today?"

"We held meetings until past ten last night, regarding where to place the urban complex project," Yang Mulin looked at Zhou Andong: "I wonder if Chairman Zhou has any thoughts?"

Zhou Andong thought for a moment: "Let's hear your thoughts first."

Yang Mulin said: "As early as two years ago, Wancheng had a new development plan, but it has always been in the research stage. If Chairman Zhou's urban complex project can settle in Wancheng, then this plan can be completed."

Zhou Andong's heart stirred; he vaguely guessed this new development plan.

"Tell me in detail."

At this time, the guesthouse General Manager, Wan Fuyuan, said: "Secretary, Mayor, Chairman Zhou, let's go to the reception room to talk."

"Let's go!" Yang Mulin nodded, and as he walked toward the reception room, he said: "Hongfu Road is one of the 'two axes' of Wancheng's central urban area, the Landscape Culture Axis."

"It connects multiple important urban nodes such as the Administrative and Cultural Center District, the Minying International Trade Business District, Huangqi Mountain, Dongcheng Sports Park, and Binjiang Sports Park."

"It is the east-west urban backbone of the central urban area, and also a key link and important starting point for the quality improvement of the central urban area. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government want to position it as a century-old street, creating Wancheng's comprehensive backbone and display window."

"Combining Wancheng's cultural elements, we will create a quality avenue and characteristic space with unique Wancheng temperament, creating a Central Street that possesses Wancheng's characteristic culture and conforms to the positioning of the Hongfu Road Landscape Culture Axis..."

A smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face; it was exactly as he had guessed, Wancheng wanted to build the Hongfu Road business district.

Currently, Wancheng's business district is in the Xinfeng Road area; the Canal Mall and the Overseas Chinese Hotel are all landmark buildings of Wancheng.

It wasn't until the beginning of the new millennium that the Hongfu Road business district development plan began to be implemented, and the core business district shifted from Wancheng and Dongcheng to Nancheng.

With the successive entry of major commercial entities, in just three years, the business district centered on Hongfu Road grew strong.

"While building the Hongfu Road business district, Wancheng also wants to build rail transit, covering important areas such as the Central Square and Hongfu Road."

Arriving at the conference room, everyone sat down, and Wan Fuyuan began to busy himself arranging for waiters to pour tea for everyone.

Zhou Andong listened very carefully. Although he knew that the future development of Hongfu Road would be very impressive, he was not clear about the specific plans.

This chat lasted for more than two hours, and Zhou Andong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Because of his appearance, the planning of Hongfu Road was advanced by at least five years.

Originally, he intended to place the urban complex on Xinfeng Road, but since Wancheng already had a plan to develop Hongfu Road, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Time flies, it's noon again," Jian Zhengrong checked the time: "After lunch, we'll go to Hongfu Road to take a look."

"Can do!"

Zhou Andong had only finished breakfast at nine o'clock, and then sat in the conference room for more than two hours; he wasn't hungry at all.

But with so many people here, he wasn't hungry, but others had to eat, so he could only accompany them.

Wan Fuyuan had already arranged it: "Secretary, Mayor, lunch has already been arranged. Shall we go eat now?"

Jian Zhengrong stood up: "Since it's ready, let's go eat, and then we still have to go to Hongfu Road."

At this moment, Zhou Andong suddenly saw a bald head hiding in the crowd.

Although he couldn't see the face, he felt a bit familiar with this head shape; it seemed he had seen it somewhere before.

"I haven't introduced you to Chairman Zhou yet," Yang Mulin introduced with a smile: "This is Comrade Liang Yunshi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Office."

Liang Yunshi was a woman, about forty years old, not tall, wearing myopia glasses, with short hair, looking very capable.

"Chairman Zhou, hello!"

Zhou Andong politely shook hands with Liang Yunshi: "Secretary-General Liang, hello."

Yang Mulin glanced over and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Deng, you are the Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, why are you hiding in the back?"

Being named, Old Deng walked over with an unnatural expression, his eyes dodging when looking at Zhou Andong.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Andong blinked. Isn't this the Boss Deng who booked the venue at Dongtai yesterday? ===== CHAPTER 1714 =====
