CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 334 CRUISE ACTIVITY

The next day, Li Jing, as agreed, went to meet the leaders of Hai City with Liu Dazhi.

The city leader behind Liu Dazhi was a middle-aged woman with the surname Xiao.

According to Liu Dazhi’s introduction, she was the second-in-command of the Hai City Party Committee Propaganda Department, and also served as the director of the Development Center, commonly referred to as Director Xiao.

Director Xiao looked about forty to fifty years old and was slightly plump.

When she first met Li Jing, she found him much younger than expected, and couldn’t help but show a bit of surprise.

The three of them exchanged in a small conference room, mainly discussing the international professional fitness competition.

Upon learning about Li Jing’s abilities, Director Xiao clearly showed appreciation for him.

Moreover, Li Jing had a natural charisma, spoke eloquently, and was a legitimate top student from a prestigious university, quite different from most rich second-generation individuals, which left a particularly good impression on Director Xiao.

Of course, the main reason was that Li Jing helped her solve the key work of the international professional fitness competition.

The conversation among the three was very pleasant.

Beside them, Liu Dazhi also appeared very happy, willingly playing along with Li Jing and occasionally chiming in.

After chatting for about an hour, since Director Xiao had other matters to attend to, the discussion ended.

Finally, Director Xiao personally accompanied Li Jing out of the conference room.

Just as they stepped out, they saw a middle-aged man waiting respectfully in the corridor.

Upon seeing Director Xiao, the middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to greet respectfully.

Then, he saw Director Xiao with Liu Dazhi, was initially taken aback, but then seemed to recognize them, hurriedly addressing "President Liu."

Director Xiao’s attitude towards the middle-aged man was indifferent, merely nodding slightly, noticeably more indifferent than her attitude towards Li Jing.

Director Xiao did not rush to speak with the middle-aged man and continued smiling and chatting with Li Jing, with Liu Dazhi accompanying her.

The middle-aged man, noticing how warmly Director Xiao and Liu Dazhi treated Li Jing, was inwardly surprised and couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Li Jing.

Once the three ended their conversation, Director Xiao glanced at the middle-aged man and said blandly, "If you have something, let’s talk in my office."

The man quickly nodded.

After Director Xiao turned to leave, the middle-aged man quickly passed a business card to Li Jing with a respectful face as he passed by.

Li Jing was a bit surprised, not expecting him to offer a business card.

The middle-aged man had no time to explain, simply nodding with a smile, before quickly catching up to Director Xiao in front.

Seeing this, Liu Dazhi explained on the side, "This man’s surname is Zhu, and he seems to specialize in event planning. In the past couple of years, he has worked with some internet celebrities, frequently organizing large online celebrity events.

He also has related businesses, apparently has an account, and established a company based on it."

Liu Dazhi explained, "Nothing problematic about this person that I’ve heard, just very keen on networking and likes to socialize upward.

I suppose he saw you and Director Xiao chatting warmly and thought you had a unique identity, so he gave you a business card hoping to connect. It’s up to you, President Li, whether you want to engage with him or not."

When talking about this person, Liu Dazhi’s attitude seemed quite indifferent, appearing not to take it seriously.

It was evident that Liu Dazhi’s status was much higher than that of the middle-aged man, not truly caring about the latter.

Li Jing didn’t have any particular thoughts about the man, merely didn’t dispose of the card in front of Liu Dazhi, casually putting it away.

After leaving the government compound, Liu Dazhi continued to speak with emotion:

"President Li, since Director Xiao appreciates you so much, if you ever need anything in the future, you can also seek her help.

Director Xiao likes to support young people, and you’re certainly outstanding for your age, if you two join forces, it would be incredible.

If President Li ever makes it big in Hai City, don’t forget about me, Lao Liu."

Director Xiao’s appreciation for Li Jing made Liu Dazhi more respectful towards him, even considering Li Jing as a potential opportunity for the Liu Family’s resurgence.

Li Jing didn’t care much about this, simply nodding slightly.

Developing in Hai City was not his goal, so he didn’t take it to heart. His interactions with people like Liu Dazhi were merely for convenience in Hai City.

After all, with the resources and influence of these people, he felt more confident doing anything in Hai City.

This was a realization he gained after becoming wealthy; having money was just the foundation, acquiring more resources and relationships through money was most important.

Li Jing then parted ways with Liu Dazhi.

Liu Dazhi left in his own chauffeured car, while Li Jing contacted Zeng Chao to come pick him up.

Just as Li Jing got in the car, he received a message.

Seeing the sender, he was somewhat surprised—it was Zhou Yingying.

"Brother Jing, do you have time today? We have a big event happening here, taking a luxury cruise around the nearby island attractions.

It lasts for two days and one night, offering views you can’t usually see on a tour in Hai City. And there will be plenty of beautiful women too.

I happen to have a spot, can bring one friend, wondering if you’d be interested, Brother Jing?"

Having encountered many gold diggers, Li Jing could immediately see what Zhou Yingying was thinking.

However, after yesterday’s incident, he didn’t feel aversion towards Zhou Yingying, and was somewhat interested after hearing her description, so after a moment’s consideration, he agreed.

Around two in the afternoon, Li Jing met Zhou Yingying as agreed.
