After buying the bag, Lin Yi brought Liang Ruoxu around the mall before going to the place he had agreed to eat at with Lu Yanmin.
The restaurant wasnât very large, but it had luxurious decor, and most importantly, it had some official backing.
There wouldnât be much of a problem with them eating here.
âUncle Lu, Iâm really sorry to have asked you out when youâre so busy.â
Although Lu Yanmin was a student of Liang Xianghe, Liang Ruoxu was still very polite, displaying the attitude expected of a younger generation.
âGirl, youâre really becoming more and more promising. Youâre still so polite to me.â Lu Yanmin smiled.
âI remember when I was young, I went to visit your grandfather. I was so comfortable, but you dragged me to the shooting range. Compared to then, youâve really changed.â
Lu Yanmin only dared to speak like this in private. If there were outsiders present, he would have to be polite to Liang Ruoxu.
âUncle Lu, youâre really too much. My background is nothing special, but youâre exposing me.â
âAlright, alright, alright. I wonât say anymore.â
Lu Yanmin pushed the menu over. âYou guys can order the food. Iâm okay with anything.â
âUncle Lu, you should do it. Weâll follow the host.â
âSince youâre not outsiders, I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
Lu Yanmin took the menu and ordered a few signature dishes. Then, the three of them got to the point.
âPresident Lin, what do you think about Dongsan County?â
âWeâve already started working on it, but the effect wonât be obvious,â Lin Yi said.
âThe final idea is to attract investors and solve the unemployment rate. There will be more young people pouring in, and the countyâs economy will strengthen. If the cycle continues, not only will they escape poverty, but might even experience new developments.â
âDo you have a specific fund-raising plan?â
âOur idea is to build a chip industry park with Lingyun Group as the lead. Then, weâll bring other companies in. That way, our goal will be achieved,â Lin Yi said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMoreover, Dongsan County is located at the intersection of three cities. If we empower the commuting infrastructure, we can completely connect the three cities.â
âChip industry center!â
Lu Yanminâs eyes lit up. âIs this a national project?â
Lu Yanmin knew a lot about Lin Yiâs situation. She only knew that his Lingyun Group had produced the first five-nanometer photolithography machine in the country.
Therefore, the development of the chip would soon be on the agenda.
However, he did not expect the factory to be built in Dongsan County!
âOur company has already put this on the agenda, so we want to see what discounts the city can give us,â Lin Yi said.
âBut you donât have to be too direct. You can put aside my relationship with
Liang Ruoxu and treat me as a normal businessman.â
âHow can I do that? Kid, based on your relationship with Ruoxu, I have to do my best to help you. Logically speaking, youâve done a good deed for Yuhang, so helping you is a given. No matter what, I have to do my best.â
âThereâs really no need.â Lin Yi smiled.
âI came to Dongsan County because I had nothing to do. I wanted to challenge myself and do something meaningful.â Lin Yi said.
âIf everything is handed out, this matter would be meaningless, so just treat me as a normal businessman.â
âWellâ¦â
Lu Yanmin was in a difficult position, but at this moment, Liang Ruoxu spoke.
âUncle Lu, just do as he says. If he doesnât do well in the end, itâll only be because heâs not capable enough. The failure will have nothing to do with us.â âAlright then. Since youâve said so, I wonât dwell on this matter.â Lu Yanmin said,
âHowever, I donât have much power. You can use the land in the three eastern counties as you wish without paying a dime. But remember, you canât occupy agricultural land. In terms of taxes, I can give you tax rebates and discounts. This is a discount that I can give under normal circumstances.â
Lin Yi nodded. The policy was standard and there was nothing special about it.
In other words, if other companies came here, they could also enjoy the discount if they were big enough.
âIâm satisfied with this. Thank you, Secretary Lu,â Lin Yi said.
âWhatâs there to thank me for? These are all very conventional policies. Youâre embarrassing me by thanking me now.â
âItâs considered very good.â Lin Yi raised his glass. âHereâs to you.â
âNow that weâre done talking business, itâs time to chat.
When he found out that Lin Yi had created Lingyun Group in just over a year,
Lu Yanmin was shocked.
He was sincerely impressed.
It was soon past one in the afternoon. Because they had work to do, they ended the lunch there.
The two of them first sent Lu Yanmin away before returning to their car.
âIs there something going on in Zhonghai?â Lin Yi said. âYouâve come a long way, so you should stay a few more days before you leave.â
âIâve already called the driver and asked him to pick me up tonight,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âAnd even if I stay, I wonât sleep with you. Itâll delay my rest.â
âI can tell at a glance that youâre young. Childish! Inexperienced!â
âHow am I immature?â
âDo you think now, guys who sleep obediently at night arc better? After youâve tasted the sweetness, youâll know how great those guys who can go seven times in a night are.â
âI donât have that much desire. I just want to sleep.â
âWomen who havenât been nourished will easily grow old,â Lin Yi said.
âYouâre not as pretty as my mother-in-law to begin with. If you donât take care of herself, you wonât stand a chance in the future.â
âIâll strangle you!â
One could compare Liang Ruoxu to anyone else, except for Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi crushed her in every single aspect.
That afternoon, Lin Yi brought Liang Ruoxu to other places and had dinner with her before sending her away.
Lin Yi didnât stay in Yuhang for long and drove back to Dongsan County.
After returning to Dongsan County, Lin Yi called Lu Yanmin.
âIs Secretary Lu busy?â
âIâm not busy. I just got home.â Lu Yanmin smiled and said,
âAre you still with Ruoxu?â
âShe left a long time ago. Iâm already in Dongsan County,â Lin Yi said.
âI have something else to tell you.â
âWeâre all on the same side. Tell me.â
âOther than our chip industry park, I also want to develop the countyâs real estate industry. If I do this through normal means, what policies can I receive?â The reason why he did not mention this at the dining table was because he was afraid that Liang Ruoxu would overthink.
If he mentioned the real estate industry, she would definitely know that he was doing Ji Qingyan a favor. Hence, he chose to only mention it now so that she would not get jealous.
âHuh? Is the Lingyun Group wants to develop the real estate industry?â
âI am thinking of it.â
âThe policy is still the same as before. Iâll give you tax refunds, but commercial land is different from industrial land. You have to spend money to get land. I can get you the lowest price, but it wonât be free.â
âHmmâ¦â
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment.. âWhatâs the lowest price for the land?â
