Chapter 2889

"Zhou Dong!" Zhou Guodong said, striking while the iron was hot: "Since you're so optimistic about Qiong Province's future tourism industry, shouldn't we sit down and talk?"

"Right!" Peng Han continued adding firewood: "Because of the real estate collapse, so many planned projects across the province have been put on hold. If Zhou Dong could take over a few projects, it would be an opportunity for us and for himself—truly a win-win."

"Indeed a win-win!" Zhou Andong nodded, then quickly took back his words: "Let me think about it."

Think about it? Zhou Guodong and Peng Han exchanged glances again—Zhou Andong wanting to think about it—how could that be? Thinking it over and over, wouldn't they end up considering running away?

"Comrade Chenglin!" Zhou Guodong looked toward Song Chenglin: "Did you bring what you were supposed to bring?"

"Brought it!" Song Chenglin came himself, without a secretary. He opened his briefcase, took out a thick file folder from inside, then pulled out a stack of documents from the folder: "Zhou Dong, this is the Coconut City Urban Development Plan. Please take a look."

Zhou Andong blinked but didn't take it, instead looking at Zhou Guodong and Peng Han: "Two leaders, the urban development plan is confidential. As a businessman, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to look at this, would it?"

Zhou Guodong took the documents and forcibly placed them into Zhou Andong's arms: "Showing it to others would definitely be inappropriate, but showing it to you, Zhou Andong, couldn't be more appropriate."

Zhou Andong sighed, picked up the documents, and handed them to Seeing Jian Qiu: "You hold onto them for now. We'll look at them tonight back at the hotel."

Zhou Guodong laughed, saying that in the future, all core development zones of Coconut City were in the planning document. As long as Zhou Andong was willing to look, he would surely be moved. Even if he had reservations, Zhou Guodong could convince Zhou Andong to stay and invest.

Next, they went to the arcade streets of Coconut City, then to the highway still under construction. After this loop, it was already past four in the afternoon, and after returning to the guesthouse, it was past five.

Just as they entered the guesthouse lobby, Zhou Andong saw Tang Lin boredly flipping through a newspaper in the first-floor lounge area, Zhang Zuo with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes darting around as he stared at several pretty attendants.

When Meng Lin appeared in the lobby, this guy's gaze fell on Meng Lin and wouldn't move. Then his gaze followed Meng Lin's steps, eventually landing on a group of people entering through the main door.

"Damn!" Zhang Zuo cursed, jumping to his feet: "Da Lin, Zhou Dongzi is back."

Tang Lin put down the newspaper, turned his head toward the main door, and smiled. After they arrived at the guesthouse, they had booked an eighth-floor suite, then went to knock on Zhou Andong's room 8026, but after knocking for a long time, there was no response.

They were also starving, so since no one was there, the two went to the restaurant to eat. After eating, they came back to knock on the door again, still no response, so they could only return to their own rooms, slept, woke up, and went to knock again—still no one came.

Then, the two idle men came to the lounge to wait. Since Zhou Andong had gone out, they would just block him in the lounge. Sure enough, they blocked him.

"How's that?" Zhang Zuo said proudly: "I said blocking here would definitely work."

Tang Lin rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and said: "Cut the nonsense."

"Stop right there!" security reached out to block the two, while several other security guards watched them warily.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "They're our people—let them come over."

Security looked at the person in charge, waited until he nodded, then let Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo pass.

Everyone watched curiously as Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo approached. Zhou Andong introduced: "Leader, this is Nie Wen's partner, Tang Lin!"

If Zhou Andong had directly introduced Tang Lin, Zhou Guodong might not have known, but by saying he was Nie Wen's partner, there would be no problem.

"Oh, so you're Comrade Tang Lin!" Zhou Guodong warmly shook Tang Lin's hand, then immediately said something to Peng Han.

Peng Han suddenly understood and enthusiastically said: "Comrade Tang Lin, welcome to Coconut City as a guest."

Then Zhou Andong introduced Zhang Zuo: "This is Zhang Zuo, his grandfather is Old Zhang of the General Staff."

Zhou Guodong and Peng Han weren't surprised—being able to run into this place to find Zhou Andong with Tang Lin, their identity and background couldn't be simple.

The two then warmly shook hands with Zhang Zuo. This time, Zhang Zuo had used his brain—he didn't dare spout nonsense.

A group of people once again came to the noon restaurant. The evening banquet was even more luxurious than noon, all seafood.

Two hours later, full and satisfied, Zhou Guodong tightly gripped Zhou Andong's hand and said earnestly: "Zhou Dong, I hope you can carefully examine Coconut City's development plan. As long as you stay to invest, Coconut City and Qiong Province will absolutely not disappoint you."

Having said all this, if Zhou Andong still played Tai Chi, that would be going too far: "I will definitely take a good look."

Zhou Guodong laughed: "Your arrangements I've already made—Xiao Jiang will personally accompany you there."

Secretary Jiang Yunfeng said: "Zhou Dong, I called customs to check—the cargo ship arrives at port tomorrow morning, and unloading should finish around 2 p. m., so we can go at noon."

"Good!" Zhou Andong shook hands with Jiang Yunfeng: "Thank you, Secretary Jiang."

"Not a bother!" Jiang Yunfeng said politely: "It's just what I should do."

Peng Han and Zhou Guodong left, the reception staff also departed, and Meng Lin personally saw Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu back to their room, arranging two service staff on standby—whenever Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu had a request, she would be notified immediately.

"Phew!" Zhou Andong let out a long breath, took off his jacket, and plopped onto the sofa.

Tang Lin took out a cigarette and tossed one to Zhou Andong: "Where did you go this afternoon?"

"Just wandered around the city." Zhou Andong took the cigarette, pulled out a lighter, and lit it: "How much funds do we still have according to your account?"

Tang Lin thought for a moment and said: "Around thirteen million."

Zhou Andong took off his shoes, lazily leaned against the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table: "The future development of Qiong Province centers on tourism. You can consider it—buy a few buildings here."
