Chapter 275 Unbeatable Treatment! I, Boss Zhao, am just that awesome!
The crisp ringtone of the cell phone startled Qin Shuang from her daze.
Upon seeing that it was Xiao Jinhua calling, Qin Shuang quickly answered the call.
"Hello Chairman Xiao, we have arrived in Yanjing and are currently at the State Guesthouse. However, General Manager Zhao has something come up and cannot attend the party. He asked me to tell you that we can get together tomorrow when you have some free time."
Xiao Jinhua, on the other end of the phone, was extremely surprised.
He assumed that Zhao Ruilong and his companion would stay at the Yanjing Grand Hotel.
I never expected it to be a state guesthouse...
However, what he was more curious about was why Zhao Ruilong couldn't even attend the CCTV Olympic bid live broadcast gala, and why he didn't bring his secretary Qin Shuang with him...
But no matter how curious he was, the intelligent Xiao Jinhua wouldn't be foolish enough to directly ask Qin Shuang for information.
As Zhao Ruilong's absolute confidant, there's no way he would tell me the truth.
"It's alright, Mr. Zhao is very busy, I understand, but you should be able to attend the party, right?"
"I can."
"Okay, so you probably haven't had lunch yet, right?"
"No, I just arrived at the state guesthouse and haven't checked in yet!"
"Okay, then you can check in first. I'll be there in just a few minutes. We can have a quick meal together later, and I'll give you the tickets to the party while I'm at it."
Qin Shuang frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised.
Isn't Xiao Jinhua being a bit too enthusiastic and polite?
He is currently recognized as the richest man in China!
Is it really necessary to be so polite to one of my secretary's little secretaries?
But since Xiao Jinhua had already said so much, how could he refuse?
Moreover, his warm hospitality was entirely due to Zhao Ruilong's influence.
"Okay, see you in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shuang turned and walked into the state guesthouse.
Compared to the Peace Hotel where I stayed in Tianhai before, it was a completely different experience.
The state guesthouse is solemn and elegant, exuding oriental culture and showcasing the charm of traditional Chinese style.
The Peace Hotel is exquisite and luxurious, with every detail showcasing its prestige and extravagance.
But no matter which one it was, Qin Shuang knew that she wouldn't be able to afford it if it weren't for President Zhao.
And just as she was checking in.
Xiao Jinhua, along with Lin Shumiao, quickly left the company and headed to the state guesthouse.
Lin Shumiao, a man of broad mind and robust build, with the typical forthrightness of a northerner, felt the car sink heavily as soon as he sat in the Mercedes-Benz W14.
In Xishan Province, which is rich in coal resources, she is well-known and is called "Sister Miao".
She was born into a railway family; three generations of her family worked in the railway system, and she was no exception.
However, back then, she followed the trend of the times, took a temporary position, and started her own business, engaging in coal transportation.
Her business is quite unique; she doesn't buy large trucks and engage in various forms of overloading, speeding, and illegal transportation to make more money.
Her coal business mainly involved reselling train car quotas to coal bosses who needed to transport coal out of the country.
Lin Shumiao made a lot of money through this highly profitable business, which was like "getting something for nothing," and began to venture into the railway equipment industry.
They rely on the railway and live off the railway.
Initially, they only purchased and supplied small items such as food and seats, but gradually they began to provide high-end vehicle parts and railway equipment.
As Lin Shumiao's profits and strength grew, he was no longer satisfied with securing railcar quotas and selling railway parts.
With the rapid economic development of the Dragon Kingdom, the demand for electricity is increasing, which in turn leads to a continuous rise in coal prices.
Even after upgrades and renovations, the three existing heavy-haul coal railways are nearing capacity saturation.
Upon learning that the Railway Administration was planning to build a new heavy-haul railway capable of operating coal trains with a capacity of 20,000 tons, which could transport at least 300 million tons of coal annually, Lin Shumiao was naturally quite interested.
The Yanhu High-Speed Railway was able to attract social capital participation, making Zhao Ruilong's Huilong Group one of the shareholders. Lin Shumiao naturally wanted to do the same, investing money to build a heavy-haul railway and becoming a shareholder.
However, while her background and connections were quite good in Xishan Province, they were somewhat insufficient in Yanjing.
Even after finding Xiao Jinhua, who was known as the richest man in China and whose family had considerable connections in the Ministry of Finance, it was still a bit of a struggle.
but……
The relationship that Xiao Jinhua and Lin Shumiao couldn't handle, Zhao Ruilong could manage with ease.
Everyone knows that the Yanhu High-speed Railway project has been planned for a long time, but it has also been highly controversial.
It was thanks to Zhao Ruilong and his son, who contributed both money and effort, and their strong support for Liu Zhiheng, the deputy director known as the "high-speed rail fanatic," that the first phase of the project was successfully implemented, completing the strategic plan of "market for technology."
The first phase of the Yanhu High-speed Railway, from Jingzhou to Tianhai, is currently under construction day and night, and the introduction of a series of technologies, including high-speed trains and dispatching systems, is also progressing smoothly.
In addition, the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail plan has begun active preparations, which represents a huge market with a trillion-yuan output value.
As the "high-speed rail fanatic" and deputy director, Liu Zhiheng will surely rise rapidly to become the most powerful person in the railway system.
If you want to get in touch with Liu Zhiheng, then asking Zhao Ruilong to act as a go-between is naturally the best choice.
Unfortunately……
Xiao Jinhua's plans couldn't keep up with the changes.
I originally thought that inviting Zhao Ruilong to Yanjing to participate in the Olympic bid live broadcast gala would be an opportunity to introduce Lin Shumiao to him.
Who knew that, as soon as the talent arrived in Yanjing, something came up at the last minute and he was unable to attend the party.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Jinhua naturally asked around to find out what urgent matter Zhao Ruilong had that made him skip the high-profile and significant Olympic bid gala that evening.
Xiao Jinhua's phone rang not far after he drove the Mercedes-Benz.
"Hello, it's me. Did you find out?"
"What? Are you sure? You checked the license plate carefully?"
Xiao Jinhua leaned forward, looking surprised.
His reaction made Lin Shumiao, who was sitting next to him, a little nervous.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll be there in about ten minutes. Please make the dishes light and easy to prepare, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jinhua turned to look at Lin Shumiao and, without waiting for her to ask, said directly:
"He went to see President Shen!"
"..."
Lin Shumiao was dumbfounded.
Meeting with President Shen...
Lin Shumiao would never have believed it if Xiao Jinhua hadn't said it.
Even if Zhao Ruilong is the beloved son of Zhao Lichun, the top official in Handong.
Even though his Huilong Group invests heavily in high-end industries, which benefits the country and its people.
But he's not qualified to see President Shen, is he?
After pausing for two or three seconds, Lin Shumiao asked with a furrowed brow:
"Are you sure? This is no joke!"
"I'm absolutely certain that it was President Shen's motorcade that picked him up from the airport and took him to the state guesthouse."
"Uh……"
Lin Shumiao had nothing more to say.
My mind was instantly in turmoil.
Even though she was doing very well in Xishan Province, her assets, both overt and covert, amounted to tens of billions.
however……
She rarely even gets to see the top official in Xishan Province, let alone the third or fourth-ranking official.
But what about Zhao Ruilong?
Go directly to President Shen!
Moreover, President Shen arranged for his motorcade to pick up Zhao Ruilong from the airport.
What an honor?
What kind of treatment is this?
this moment.
Lin Shumiao couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Just who is this General Manager Zhao?"
"Even if his father, Zhao Lichun (Zhao Shuji), came to Yanjing, he wouldn't receive the same treatment, would he?"
Xiao Jinhua shrugged.
"There's nothing we can do, Mr. Zhao is just that awesome!"
"And I'm not bragging, he's met President Shen more than once."
"The first time was when General Lu Changsheng introduced him to Zheng Peiyun, the director of the National Defense Administration. After that, Director Zheng took him to see General Shen, and then Handong Province began to implement the military-civilian integration development strategy."
"The second time was for the first phase of the Yanhu High-speed Railway project. There were significant disagreements within the Railway Administration regarding the introduction of high-speed trains. After he met with General Manager Shen, he quickly made a final decision!"
Lin Shumiao casually asked, "And what about this time?"
Xiao Jinhua was taken aback, then gave an awkward, bitter smile.
"I wish I knew."
"However, every time he met with President Shen, they discussed important matters."
"Therefore, I believe this time will be no ordinary event either, otherwise President Shen wouldn't have sent Secretary Su to pick him up at the airport in person!"
Lin Shumiao clicked her tongue in amazement:
"He's so young, yet he's received such high regard from President Shen. He's really amazing!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Jinhua glanced sideways at the window.
"If it were simply a matter of making significant contributions to economic development and national defense, it wouldn't deserve such preferential treatment."
"He must be able to offer suggestions and provide good ideas and advice in some areas to earn Mr. Shen's appreciation and recognition."
"And this is something that ordinary people can't compare to. That kind of vision that transcends the mundane, surpasses the present, and is ahead of the world is something that not everyone can have."
Lin Shumiao casually asked, "So, in that case, will President Shen extend his affection to Zhao Lichun's father and give him special attention?"
Xiao Jinhua chuckled.
"Is there even a need to ask?"
"If he wasn't entrusted with important responsibilities, or even groomed as a successor, would they have delegated authority to allow Handong to conduct a pilot project for high-quality economic development?"
Lin Shumiao smiled awkwardly but politely.
She knew her question was a bit naive.
"It seems that if I want to take my career to the next level, I must get close to Zhao Ruilong as soon as possible!"
Having secretly made up her mind, Lin Shumiao suddenly asked with a smile:
"By the way, what's the name of the secretary to General Manager Zhao that we're about to meet?"
"Qin Shuang!"
"is it beautiful?"
"It was absolutely stunning, truly one in a million, a beauty of unparalleled grace."
Lin Shumiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
The young and promising Zhao Ruilong, and his stunningly beautiful female secretary...
The relationship between these two is clearly not as simple as that of a boss and his secretary.
In an instant, Lin Shumiao secretly made up her mind to find out Qin Shuang's preferences as soon as possible.
Even if catering to her preferences doesn't win her over to work for me, at least I can get her to say a few good words for me in front of President Zhao.
As a career-oriented woman who has been married three times.
Lin Shumiao certainly knew that the power of "pillow talk" should not be underestimated.
The women around important figures can easily charm and say a few nice words.
All of these are more effective than saying ten thousand flattering words in front of important figures.
Think of this.
Lin Shumiao suddenly felt that it was good that she hadn't seen Zhao Ruilong today.
First, meet his beautiful secretary, Qin Shuang, to get acquainted and build a good relationship.
Meeting in person tomorrow will make it easier to find topics to start a conversation and avoid too much awkwardness.
"Chairman Xiao, you should have investigated Qin Shuang's background, right?"
"Of course I checked. She's from Wenshan City, Hanjiang Province..."
……
When Xiao Jinhua and his companion arrived at the state guesthouse.
