Chapter 2471
That afternoon, Qi Canghai drove Yu Ruizhi, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, and Su Xinghui to the Yanzhong Grand Hotel, which was the most luxurious hotel in Yanzhong City. He took the three of them up to the top floor of the Yanzhong Grand Hotel, which was the 28th floor, via a dedicated elevator. Lu Keren was waiting for them in a suite on this floor.
Besides being the most luxurious hotel in Yanzhong City, the Yanzhong Grand Hotel was also the tallest building in Yanzhong City. This hotel also had shares from the Lu family, which was why Lu Keren could invite them to the top floor, where ordinary people couldn't set foot.
The three followed Qi Canghai out of the elevator and walked into a suite that was ridiculously large. The living room alone was at least nearly 100 square meters. Now, a dining table had already been set up in the living room. This dining table wasn't large, because Lu Keren hadn't invited many guests today—just three people, and Qi Canghai was considered a companion.
Lu Keren and his son Lu Guojun were waiting for them in the suite. Seeing them enter, both stood up. Lu Guojun's face still looked a bit awkward, but Lu Keren was beaming, showing no signs of any grudges at all.
Lu Keren smiled and said to Yu Ruizhi, "Young Master Yu, how are you! I went to the capital for a meeting some time ago and saw Yan'an. At that time, I told him that you raised a good son—promising. Seeing you today, you are indeed a talent!"
Lu Keren naturally knew Yu Yan'an, but whether they had a good friendship was another matter. However, no matter what, he was Yu Ruizhi's elder, so Yu Ruizhi could only nod and say, "Thank you for the compliment, Executive Vice Governor Lu!"
Lu Keren nodded at him and looked at Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, "This must be Niece Sister Sister Ruoqiu, right? You are much more beautiful than those celebrities."
Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu also nodded very politely and said, "Thank you, Executive Vice Governor Lu."
Lu Guojun then realized that Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu was the girl he had wanted to flirt with when he was at the karaoke street the other day. He was now rejoicing endlessly; fortunately, he hadn't succeeded in flirting with her that day, otherwise, he would have been in trouble that day.
Lu Keren looked at Su Xinghui again and said with a smile, "You must be Young Master Su, right? I have attended several meetings with Governor Lu. I envy him for having such a good son-in-law! You are only 28 this year, right? You have already been a county party secretary. You are truly a formidable young man!"
Su Xinghui also nodded and said, "Thank you, Executive Vice Governor Lu!"
Lu Keren said, "Sit, sit, sit. Don't be polite, be casual."
Several people sat down, and waiters immediately started serving dishes. This 28th floor not only had these ridiculously large suites but also a separate kitchen. The chefs in the kitchen were all famous special-grade chefs in Yanbei Province, serving specifically for the shareholders of the Yanbei Grand Hotel.
The dishes served by the waiters were all famous Yanbei Province dishes. However, there were no wild animals among these dishes. Apparently, Lu Keren had also inquired that Su Xinghui was very disgusted with eating wild animals and had even boycotted a banquet for this reason when he was in Chongjin County.
Lu Keren wanted to ease the relationship today. If the relationship became even more strained because of such things, that was not what he hoped to see.
Lu Guojun opened a bottle of Moutai and started pouring wine for everyone. After the wine was poured, Lu Keren said, "Young Master Yu, my son had some misunderstandings with you yesterday. Fortunately, the matter didn't escalate. However, he is very sincere today in wanting to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive him!"
Lu Guojun picked up his wine glass and said to Yu Ruizhi, "Brother Ruizhi, I didn't know your identity yesterday and caused a misunderstanding. I hope you don't take it to heart. Come, I'll toast you!"
Yu Ruizhi said lightly, "I hope this really was just a misunderstanding."
Yu Ruizhi's words made Lu Guojun very awkward. Fortunately, Yu Ruizhi then picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Lu Guojun hurriedly drank the wine in his own glass in one gulp, which just happened to cover up his awkwardness.
Lu Keren said, "Come, everyone, eat. The food here is quite good. The chefs here are all special-grade chefs."
Everyone started picking up food. Among today's dishes, although there were no wild animals, there was no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas. However, most of the mountain delicacies were vegetarian. The northern part of Yanbei Province had many mountains. In the northern mountains, mountain goods like shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots were abundant, and their quality was top-notch—first-class ingredients.
And although the southeastern part of Yanbei Province didn't border the sea, it wasn't far from it, so seafood was also very common in Yanbei Province. Especially in a luxury hotel like the Yanzhong Grand Hotel, the seafood was all alive, which was naturally first-class ingredients.
These ingredients, under the skillful cooking of the special-grade chefs, became delicious dishes. Everyone nodded repeatedly after eating.
After having a drink with Yu Ruizhi, Lu Guojun's expression became more natural. He picked up his wine glass again and said to Su Xinghui, "Team Leader Su, I seem to have had some misunderstandings with you some time ago. I hope you don't take it to heart. I'll toast you!"
Su Xinghui also said lightly, "I hope this really was just a misunderstanding."
Lu Guojun was stuck again, but he didn't say anything. He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and Su Xinghui also drank his glass of wine in one gulp.
Qi Canghai saw that the atmosphere was a bit off, so he hurriedly toasted Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui, striving to liven up the atmosphere. This actually made the atmosphere at the table much better.
Lu Keren also took the initiative to toast Yu Ruizhi and the others several times. As an Executive Vice Governor, he was so willing to lower his status, which surprised Su Xinghui a bit.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Lu Keren said, "Young Master Yu, I heard that you do a very large business, right? What kind of business do you do?"
Yu Ruizhi said, "I wouldn't dare say it's very large. I mainly run a leather goods factory and then cooperate with local governments to engage in tourism development projects."
Lu Keren said, "Then do you have any plans to invest in our Yanbei Province? Our Yanbei Province's animal husbandry is quite developed, which is a very good source of goods for your leather goods factory. If you build a factory here, you won't have to worry about the source of goods at all."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Hmm, I will consider it."
Lu Keren said, "If you engage in tourism development, our Yanbei Province also has many beautiful landscapes. There are also many historical sites here, which are very suitable for tourism development. If you want to invest in our Yanbei Province, I can give you the most favorable policies."
Lu Keren's words were a great temptation for ordinary people. As an Executive Vice Governor, saying he would give the most favorable policies was not a joke. If Yu Ruizhi really wanted to make a large investment here, one favorable policy could potentially be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in wealth.
