Return To 1998

Mr. Luo, thank you for your kindness, but I just got divorced a few months ago, and I really don't have the heart to deal with someone right now. I'm living up to your kindness, I'm sorry!

Xu Tongdao still declined.

Even if it makes the deputy secretary Huang behind Xi Zhilan uncomfortable, doesn't have a good impression of his Xu Tongdao, and is detrimental to his career development, he doesn't want to change his decision.

Besides, Deputy Secretary Huang is a Deputy Secretary after all, even if it is a Deputy Secretary of a province, it is still difficult for him to exert too much pressure on Xu Xu.

You must know that since he became the richest man in the province, which high-ranking official in the province has he not seen?

There are also several high-ranking officials in the province who have made friendship.

Therefore, it is not so easy to move him easily.

...

However, on the way back in the car, this incident gave Xu Tongdao the idea of ​​expanding his business to other provinces.

Operating in this province all the time is like putting all eggs in the same basket, which is not safe. If Deputy Secretary Huang wants to really target him in the future, it will definitely affect his business, and many procedures that could have been done. , may become laborious.

But if part of the business is expanded to other provinces, the situation will be different.

The magistrate is not as good as the current one, just because you are under the jurisdiction of the other party. If half of his business or even more of his business falls in different provinces, it will be difficult for a senior official in a certain province to hold him.

At that time, the initiative will be in his hands.

Instead, it is not easy to do things both ways, but if it is possible to achieve both, it must be very cool.

Tongdao Xu was thinking about where his business could be transferred, but the phone on his body suddenly rang.

A new text message comes in.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Xi Zhilan.

——Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you today. It was a pleasure to chat with you. I hope we will have a chance to meet again.

Luo Yong hasn't conveyed my meaning to her yet?

Tongdao Xu frowned slightly, and then he was relieved—yes! I just parted with Luo Yong. At this time, Luo Yong may not have figured out how to convey my meaning to Xi Zhilan.

Looking at the meaning of this text message, this Xi Zhilan seems to be interested in me?

It's a pity, if I met her before I got married, maybe I would really consider being with her.

but now……

Tongdao Xu pondered for a moment and gave her a polite reply: There will be a chance.

After a while, Xi Zhilan replied, Then I'll wait for the next meeting.

Tong Xu said: Okay.

She didn't send any more text messages, Tongdao Xu played with the phone and sighed inwardly.

He has a hunch that as long as he doesn't get married, it is estimated that similar blind dates will always be arranged.

If this goes on, it will only make him offend more and more people.

That's probably the price to pay for being single all the time.

...

this evening.

After dinner, when he and his younger brother Xu Tonglu were drinking tea in the yard and chatting about work, Xu Tongdao told Xu Tonglu of his decision.

Xiaolu, our business has to go out, and we can't continue to circle in this province. Next, you can arrange for Ximen Real Estate to go to the next province to get a few pieces of land, and then you can arrange for other subsidiaries to develop the market in the next province.

Xu Tonglu frowned, Brother, our funds are limited. Originally, to expand the market in this province, the funds are not enough. To expand the market in neighboring provinces at this time will affect our layout in the province.

Tongdao Xu shook his head, I know, but we all have to go out sooner or later. We can't create a prison for ourselves, which is not good for our long-term development.

Xu Tonglu looked puzzled, Brother, the group development plan you set before is not like this, why did it suddenly change? Did something happen recently?

Tongdao Xu smiled and said, No, I just suddenly feel that eggs cannot be put in one basket, this is too restrictive, just now is the era when the economy is in command,

All parts of the country must rely on attracting investment to develop political performance. This is a good opportunity for us to go out. We can't do it now for multinational companies, and we should be able to try it across provinces.

This……

Xu Tonglu was both puzzled and helpless.

But he can't resist the decision of the elder brother. He is only working for the elder brother Xu Tongdao. Since the elder brother has made such a decision, he can only implement it.

...

at the same time.

At Deputy Secretary Huang's house, Director Zhang, the lover of Deputy Secretary Huang, put down his mobile phone, frowning, and his face was not very good-looking.

What's wrong? Auntie?

Xi Zhilan, who was sitting next to her, asked curiously.

Not long after she returned to China, she had a blind date with Tongdao Xu under the arrangement of her aunt. After the blind date, she was invited to the house by her aunt.

According to what her aunt, Director Zhang, wanted to keep her at home for a few days.

Just now, the two of them were chatting while watching TV and eating melon seeds by the way.

She is still knocking!

Director Zhang frowned and looked at her, and suddenly scolded angrily: That kid with the surname Xu really doesn't know how to praise him! We didn't even think he was a second marriage, but he's still in the middle of it! It's really outrageous!

When Xi Zhilan heard the words, the smile on her face froze, and the melon seeds that came to her mouth also stopped, Auntie, what do you mean? That fellow Xu, Mr. Xu, didn't like me?

She was surprised.

She had already heard about Xu Tongdao's situation. Although he was the richest man in the province, he was married, and his son and daughter followed him after the divorce.

She didn't dislike this kind of divorce with a baby, but he disliked her instead?

It made her feel incredible.

Her family background, education, appearance, temperament... Which one is not top-notch? From childhood to adulthood, from home to abroad, how many people have chased after you over the years?

It was the first time she was rejected.

Originally, when she heard that her aunt was going to introduce her to a rich man who was divorced with a baby, she was quite conflicted. It was her aunt and her mother who repeatedly did her ideological work, and she reluctantly persuaded herself to meet Xu Tongdao.

Seeing the real person Xu Tongdao today, she felt that aside from his status as a divorcee and a baby, his appearance and conversation basically met her criteria for mate selection.

So I convince myself in my heart: Forget it! It's him! Stop picking and settle yourself down!

She finally persuaded herself, and even took the initiative to send a text message to give a clear signal, the result? He didn't even look at me?

She was so angry that her chest heaved a lot.

Director Zhang sighed, reached out and patted Xi Zhilan's back, and sighed: It's not that I didn't like you, Lanlan, just now Mr. Luo told me on the phone - that kid just got divorced a few months ago. I'm still healing myself now! I don't want to talk about feelings for the time being, so, Lan Lan, don't take it to heart, don't be angry with yourself! It's not your fault, it's that kid's problem! Do you understand what I mean?
