Chapter 567 Brother Chen!!!
Today, Jiang Fanlei personally sent the invitation letter three days later. The date was chosen on the weekend, taking into account everyone's time.
At that time, many business people and official leaders will attend to witness the opening of the Lake Island Hotel.
Time flies, time really flies by. Chen Yi feels as if just yesterday Jiang Fanlei announced that he had acquired the island in the middle of the lake, and today the hotel was built.
"Let's go, go back quickly and do your work."
At the door of the Municipal Bureau, Jiang Fanlei waved to Chen Yi and prepared to get in the car and leave.
He came alone, without Zuoqiu Anqing.
Seeing that Zuoqiu Anqing was really not in the car, Chen Yi stopped Jiang Fanlei: "Wait a minute."
Jiang Fanlei stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Chen Yi: "Let's talk some more."
Jiang Fanlei came over and wondered: "What are we talking about? Didn't we finish talking just now?"
Chen Yi took out his cigarette case: "It has nothing to do with Huxin Island, it's about Zuoqiu Anqing."
After returning from Linxuan Village in Ningcheng, he did not mention what he saw and heard in Linxuan Village to Jiang Fanlei. Everyone was very busy and there were not many opportunities, and Zuoqiu Anqing should often be with Jiang Fanlei.
She called Jiang Fanlei twice, but she was always by Jiang Fanlei's side, and she never called him again after that.
Today, we can just have a chat.
Jiang Fanlei had an ominous premonition and said warily: "What happened to her again? You won't find out anything else, right?"
Chen Yi lit the cigarette and said with a smile: "What free time do I have? Are you having trouble with your girlfriend every day? Some time ago, I followed a case, a child abduction case. By coincidence, one of the victims was abducted to Ningcheng Lin. Yicun.
You heard it right, it’s Linxuan Village, Zuoqiu Anqing’s hometown. "
Jiang Fanlei was suspicious: "What a coincidence? The whole country is so big, but it's Linyi Village?"
Chen Yi spread his hands: "It's such a coincidence. What can I do? Now that I'm in Linxuan Village, out of concern and love for you, I took the opportunity to chat with Zuoqiu Anqing's parents... Don't get me wrong, she has a history of lying. It’s for your own good that I pay more attention to you.”
Jiang Fanlei shuddered: "You are still caring and caring, how disgusting! What's the result? Just tell the important point, don't worry, I can stand it."
Chen Yi: "It's not as serious as you think. I'll keep it short."
Later, he fully told Jiang Fanlei what he had gained in Linxuan Village. He did not include any personal information or give personal evaluations, but only mentioned objective facts.
How to judge depends on Jiang Fanlei himself.
He knew that Jiang Fanlei was not a lover, and with his trust in him, he should be able to be fair.
As the voice fell, Jiang Fanlei couldn't help but frown.
Obviously, Zuoqiu Anqing has the ambition to cross classes, and he wants to cross more than one class.
According to the nine-level division, he and Chen Yi were at the third and fourth levels, while Zuoqiu Anqing was at the ninth or eighth level.
It's okay to be motivated, but if you lack gratitude, you can easily become a person who purely worships money and follows the crowd.
It's okay to work for yourself, but being a girlfriend will be a time bomb in the future. With assets in hand, I avoid such a partner. He may stab you in the back one day, causing negative consequences.
After a long silence, Jiang Fanlei said: "Do you think I should break up?"
Chen Yi: "Don't ask me, look at yourself. I'm just telling you some facts. If you want to get an accurate answer, you need to observe from the side yourself, but don't let her notice your intentions. Be natural."
So far, Zuoqiu Anqing has not done anything extreme, so we cannot say that we are 100% sure that she is a bad woman after talking to her family.
Not fair.
It can only be said that the probability of being a bad woman is relatively high.
It still depends on the person. Jiang Fanlei is the closest to Zuoqiu Anqing and can understand him in detail with purpose.
Be cautious about emotional matters.
If Jiang Fanlei didn't have a good relationship with him, he wouldn't bother to care.
"Okay, I get it."
Jiang Fanlei was in a bad mood again. A girl kept having problems, and it was difficult for him to convince himself to ignore them.
There are many girls with no problems around, so there is no need to waste time with a problematic one.
…
Three days later in the morning, Chen Yi took Fang Shuyu to the island in the middle of the lake as requested. At this time, the parking lot was full of vehicles, including luxury cars.
In addition, there are highly recognizable official cars parked there. Although they are cheap, no one dares to underestimate them.
The people present were all well-known social elites from Yangcheng. Of course, they would not be stupid enough to think that the people sitting in the black car worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan would be ordinary characters.
There are many people who can afford a car costing 200,000 yuan, but if you are invited to Huxin Island today, you will definitely not be able to recognize people by their cars.
Chen Yi is a good example.
His car cost RMB 200,000, but Jiang Fanlei gave it to him because he won a bet. Anyone who looks down on the car because it is cheap will only end up humiliating himself.
There is no other person who can have a good status in both the official and business circles of Yangcheng.
Meng Yi also arrived, and the two sides met quickly.
Chen Yi glanced behind Meng Yi and said with a smile: "Usually when I go out, I'm surrounded by people like a boss, but today I came alone? Didn't I bring my wife with me?"
Meng Yi didn't hide it either: "I don't want to be noticed by some people, so keep a low profile. Wouldn't it be nice to live for two more years?"
Although he knows Chen Yi and knows many people, it does not mean that he can act recklessly in Yangcheng. If he brings his younger brother to such an occasion, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself if something goes wrong?
Referring to someone many years ago, he was noticed because he was too crazy, and eventually perished and was sentenced to death. If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
Chen Yi thought it didn't matter. As long as you were upright, you wouldn't be afraid of others putting on your shoes.
However, it is always right to be careful and keep a low profile. Meng Yi has learned well and likes to make a fortune in a low voice. He is already past the age of showing off and showing off.
"Your friend has something, and he did a good job."
The two walked while chatting and stepped onto the long bridge that had been built. In the past, if you wanted to get to the island, you had to row across it.
Looking into the distance, under the dazzling light is a luxurious building hanging alone on the vast blue waves, like a bright pearl, quietly embedded in the vast lake.
Because the surrounding facilities have not yet been built, many green nets and iron frames have not been removed, which looks a bit out of place in comparison.
Chen Yi looked at it for a while and said: "I haven't been here for a long time. It seems to be really good. I probably spent a lot of money on the design fee and lost a lot of money."
On the lake, several sightseeing boats shuttle slowly. The sparkling water and sky are the same color as the boat sails. Every turn of the propeller stirs the tranquility of nature.
The advantage of the island in the middle of the lake is here. It is far away from the hustle and bustle and enjoys tranquility without losing modernity.
Whatever you want, whatever you want to experience, is available here.
The estimated pricing will not be cheap, four to five figures is certain, but I don’t know if some rooms will reach six figures.
A hotel costing RMB 100,000 per night sounds expensive, but it is just a drop in the bucket for rich people.
Chen Yi met many acquaintances on the bridge. They exchanged greetings with each other and then parted ways quickly. They did not go together.
Everyone has a sense of propriety, and there is no need to force integration into someone who is not in your own circle, lest it embarrass everyone.
It's still early today, so there are plenty of opportunities to meet.
With slow footsteps, the three of them stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake, and the main building of the hotel became clear.
Chen Yi doesn't know much about architecture, but for a layman, it probably combines modern design and natural aesthetics, making it feel quite comfortable without any pressure.
There's lots of glass, with huge glass walls that sparkle in the sunlight and contrast with the lush surrounding vegetation.
There is an unfinished building not far away. You can see the rough exterior walls, the prototype of the roof garden, and scattered scaffolding.
There are shortcomings, but it adds a sense of expectation, making people can't help but imagine the magnificent scene when it is fully completed.
After passing through the granite path, a carefully laid red carpet appears and extends to the hotel door. On both sides are carefully trimmed flower beds with all kinds of flowers vying for beauty, welcoming every guest with the warmest attitude.
The receptionist in formal attire greets you at the entrance with a smile.
It's Zuoqiu Anqing.
Seeing this girl, Chen Yi unconsciously slowed down, maybe because he felt embarrassed. He rarely investigated a person for non-case reasons. In a strict sense, he was using power for personal gain.
"Brother Chen."
Before he could step forward, a voice came from behind, attracting Chen Yi to look back.
Today's maximum temperature was 25 degrees. A middle-aged man walked in with enthusiasm, wearing an executive jacket and thick glasses on his nose. He was followed by a secretary.
In addition to the secretary, there are two accompanying persons.
"Director Sun, long time no see." Chen Yi smiled and reached out his hand.
This man's name is Sun Yuanfa, who comes from the provincial government and is in charge of business. His rank is two levels lower than Fang Songping's. The two have met several times.
The whole Dongzhou market planning, commercial network layout, and the construction and development of the commercial system, including domestic and foreign trade and economic cooperation, all have to go through the hands of Director Sun.
He even came when we got married.
Seeing Chen Yi actually reaching out, Meng Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and he quickly took two steps back.
In Quanyang City, the only person who can make Chen Yi take the initiative to reach out is at least the deputy director, and he cannot interfere.
Sun Yuanfa glanced at Meng Yi, without paying attention or intending to get to know him, and stretched out his hand to hold Chen Yi's hand.
"Brother Chen, are you doing this to cheer up your friends?"
He knew that Chen Yi and Jiang Fanlei knew each other, otherwise a deputy chief of criminal investigation and captain of the criminal investigation detachment would not be able to attend such an occasion unless there was a case.
Chen Yi did not deny it and nodded with a smile: "Yes, come and have a look."
Sun Yuanfa hummed, full of authority: "Last month I had a drink with Lao Fang and I mentioned you. Do you think he wants to go to the Imperial City in the future?"
Chen Yi: "Not sure yet. Let's go in first. Director Sun invites you."
He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Sun Yuanfa smiled, walked steadily, confidently and calmly, and had a very strong aura.
Chen Yi knew that among all the guests today, Sun Yuanfa should have the highest status. He could not compare to him, and the others were just a foil.
Passing by Zuoqiu Anqing, the other party greeted everyone with a smile as usual. It seemed that Jiang Fanlei did not show any abnormality in front of her.
As long as the rifts and prejudices exist, they will only gradually expand as time goes by. According to Chen Yi's judgment, the two of them should not be able to go too far.
For Jiang Fanlei, this is considered a good thing, so why take the risk.
When everyone entered the hall, Jiang Fanlei had been waiting for a long time. As a master, he should act like a master. Even if Sun Yuanfa came, he did not go out to greet them, and he was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Director Sun."
Jiang Fanlei, dressed in a suit, immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the other party with a smile.
Sun Yuanfa nodded and praised, looking very satisfied.
The spacious and bright lobby is mainly illuminated by natural light, with simple yet elegant decoration. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the sparkling lake and the rolling mountains in the distance, which makes people relaxed and happy.
Everyone was almost here. Jiang Fanlei took everyone to visit, led by Sun Yuanfa, and everyone else followed.
The hotel has set up several exhibition areas to show guests the future of the hotel in all aspects through models, renderings and VR experience.
There are luxury rooms, specialty restaurants, spas, conference centers, etc. Every detail reveals the ultimate pursuit of quality and service.
The internal environment also exceeded Chen Yi's expectations. He used to think that Jiang Fanlei was bragging, but he didn't expect it to be really awesome. In the future, when the Lake Heart Island unveils its mystery to outsiders, it will usher in its glorious moment.
In a few years, this place is likely to become a landmark building in Yangcheng. No wonder Sun Yuanfa came here in person today, which shows how much he values it.
The success of the Lake Heart Island is also his achievement.
Just when Chen Yi was chatting with Meng Yi and others, Sun Yuanfa's voice suddenly came.
"Brother Chen, what do you think of the name Lanfan?"
"Hmm?" Chen Yi stepped forward and said, "I don't understand either, it sounds good."
This is the first time he knows that the hotel is called Lanfan, and he has never asked before.
Sun Yuanfa turned to ask for other people's opinions. Business tycoons and officials would not say anything that would be detrimental to unity at this time. They all said that the name was very good.
What does the name matter as long as it is not particularly unpleasant.
The word "Lan" represents the magnificent waves, implying that the hotel is surrounded by the lake. The word "Fan" represents Jiang Fanlei. He has the right to name it. This is his personal selfishness, and there is no problem.
Sun Yuanfa just asked casually to liven up the atmosphere and would not object. Besides, it has been registered and outsiders don't know.
"Director Sun, how about we go to eat first? Everything is ready." Jiang Fanlei said, "After lunch, I will take Director Sun to other places to go shopping. You can also go to the room to rest. You can stay as you like, free of charge. Please give suggestions for improvement of facilities and services so that I can check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps."
Sun Yuanfa nodded and changed the subject: "Mr. Jiang, I remember you said you wanted to build a museum on the island?"
Museum?
As soon as this was said, everyone looked over with strong interest.
Including Chen Yi.
He didn't know much about the lake island, and Jiang Fanlei rarely mentioned details.
Building a museum next to the hotel will give it a strong cultural atmosphere and attract more guests. He has a long-term vision.
Jiang Fanlei smiled and said, "Yes, but it can't be completed this year. It will be around this time next year."
Sun Yuanfa: "Let's go and have a look first. It's still early to eat now."
The construction of a museum is of great importance to a city, especially the theme of the museum, which he obviously cares about.
If it is just some ordinary antiques and calligraphy and paintings, it will be very disappointing.
Of course, a museum needs a foundation. It is difficult to make it famous in Dongzhou and even the whole country in a short period of time. No one has the financial resources.
"Okay, let's go and have a look first." Jiang Fanlei agreed. He knew that the other party would definitely go to see the prototype of the museum and was ready.
Everyone moved away from the hotel and walked towards the building under construction not far away under the leadership of Jiang Fanlei. The staff had already gone to get their helmets.
On the way, listening to Jiang Fanlei and Sun Yuanfa talking, everyone roughly understood the plan of the Lake Heart Island Museum.
Jiang Fanlei wanted to build a fun museum on the Lake Heart Island to capture the curiosity of tourists.
There is not only one theme, including war exhibition hall, food development exhibition hall, clothing development exhibition hall, cartoon exhibition hall, four-dimensional concept exhibition hall and more than a dozen other exhibition halls.
Just hearing the name, it is very attractive.
Chen Yi couldn't help but look at Jiang Fanlei with new eyes. He didn't realize that this guy was so business-minded and spent little money to do big things.
Antiques? Don't touch them.
Jewelry? Don't touch them.
Too expensive.
He took a different approach and was very smart. People are tired of antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.
It seems that talent is really like pregnancy. It takes a long time to see it.
Sun Yuanfa was also very satisfied and nodded continuously. It seemed that he could foresee the popularity of Huxin Island in the future, which would drive Yangcheng's GDP and cause a chain reaction, and then drive Dongzhou's GDP.
"It's in front." Jiang Fanlei pointed to the building in front.
The building area is large, surrounded by green nets, and surrounded by scaffolding and wooden boards.
The construction workers did not take a holiday, and many figures could be seen busy. Most of them wore yellow hats, and occasionally there were technical workers wearing blue hats. There was only one red hat.
Since we are here, we must go in and take a look. Safety helmets were distributed and Sun Yuanfa also put one on.
"Director Sun, please." Jiang Fanlei gestured for him to go first.
The main structure of the building has been completed. At this stage, safety is no longer a problem. Wearing a hat is just in case.
Sun Yuanfa nodded, stepped over the wooden board with his hands behind his back, and walked into the main door in an inspection posture.
At this moment, a creaking sound echoed around, as if something was triggered.
The next moment, a white shadow fell from nowhere and just hung upside down in front of Sun Yuanfa, with a distance of only a few centimeters.
This is a skeleton.
An upside-down skeleton.
The head was level with Sun Yuanfa, who could clearly see the texture on the bones and the empty eyes.
The scene was quiet in an instant, and no one reacted.
Looking at the white bone skull so close, Sun Yuanfa felt his bladder twitch and almost peed.
Even if it was daytime, even if there were many people present, no one could remain calm when facing the skull so suddenly and so close.
"What is that!"
"Brother Chen!!!"
He called Chen Yi immediately.
In the back, Chen Yi's expression also changed suddenly at this moment.
