Chapter 1209: Without the wings of a phoenix

Li Lei took the wine glass handed over by the waiter and smiled: "Miss Nong Zi, shall we find a place to sit and have a good chat?"

Nong Zi smiled: "Mr. Li, I am honored to receive your invitation. I also want to have further exchanges with Mr. Li, but there are so many celebrities at today's ball, I don't want to be the target of public criticism."

Li Lei thought to himself, what celebrities are there? Other women are like dirt in my eyes. I only have you in my eyes. Why should I care about them?

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when a sweet voice came from behind him: "Mr. Li, is it that a small company like ours is not in your eyes? You haven't invited me to dance until now."

Nong Zi smiled, raised her hand and waved gently at Li Lei, and said softly: "Mr. Li, let's talk again when we have a chance." Then she turned and walked into the crowd.

Li Lei turned around a little angrily, thinking who is this person who is so tactless?

When she turned around and saw the woman standing behind her, Li Lei's face was as pale as a child's, and he immediately changed his expression.

Standing behind him was a charming young lady. She looked to be in her twenties, wearing a violet evening dress with a hollow heart shape under the collar, revealing a slender gold chain around her neck and a touch of snow-white breasts. A light layer of eyeliner was applied around her eyes, making her eyes look more sensual.

Li Lei looked at her, patted her forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, without the wings of a phoenix, but with a telepathic connection. Sister Caifeng, you are now a famous person in the Yellow Sea. I don't want anyone to say that your Xiangfeng Trading Company is small. It's not that I don't invite you to dance, but your flower protector is too powerful. By the way, where is Dai Yang?"

The lady in front of him is Yu Caifeng, the general manager of Xiangfeng Trading Company. The chairman of this company is Dai Yang, the son of Dai Bing, the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet. Who in the circle doesn't know that Dai Yang is pursuing Yu Caifeng? No matter what activities Yu Caifeng participates in, the two are basically inseparable. So Li Lei joked that Dai Yang is Yu Caifeng's flower protector.

The voice of not allowing the children of cadres to do business has been shouted for many years, but until now, there has been no fundamental prohibition on the children of officials from doing business. The discipline inspection department only prohibits the spouses and children of provincial (ministerial) and prefectural (departmental) level leading cadres from engaging in business activities that may conflict with the public interest within the business scope of the leading cadres, or prohibiting them from engaging in business activities in industries such as real estate development and advertising agency in the area where the leading cadres are employed, but many children and relatives of cadres are still opening companies and doing business, and there is a trend of full swing.

Some second-generation officials have publicly shouted that if they are born in such a family, they will not inherit the revolutionary work, but go into business. This is because, although the discipline inspection department has the above regulations and restrictions, officials in charge of different businesses and officials in different regions can take care of each other's children and relatives as a condition of exchange.

Even if the children of officials are engaged in legal business activities, they are often misunderstood by the outside world or cause public dissatisfaction. Because their parents or relatives have a lot of social resources, they can easily obtain or occupy scarce social resources, such as land in prime locations, huge bank loans, exploration and development of mineral resources, and franchises in special industries, etc., which give them advantages that no other company has in competition, and thus easily obtain excess profits or huge profits.

Regarding the issue of officials' children doing business, the people have long had great opinions. However, from a legal perspective, officials' children are also social citizens, and as citizens, they have the freedom to choose whether to do business or participate in other work. Restricting officials' children from doing business is not legal, nor is it a fundamental way to solve the problem. But in the current system, it can be considered reasonable.

However, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and local discipline inspection regulations do not allow cadres' children or spouses to engage in commercial activities within the scope or area of ​​the leadership of the leading cadres themselves, but do not prohibit doing business within the scope or area of ​​other leaders' jurisdiction, which leads to some exchange conditions between leading cadres. It can be said that there are no restrictions and obstacles for officials' children to do business now.

The military does not participate in local government affairs. On the surface, it seems that there is no problem for Dai Yang to open a company. But it is hard to believe that his company did not use his father's influence.

Xiangfeng Trading is chaired by Dai Yang himself, and it is legal if no one is in charge. Li Lei is better than him. Although he also runs a company and does business, this Huanghai Xingcheng Club is his. But he does not hold any public position in the company. On the surface, Li Lei is a small cadre in the fleet logistics department who only gets paid but does not work. But those who know the inside story dare not look down on him.

Because his father Li Hanting is the deputy commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet, and his mother is Shu Qin, the mayor of Huanghai City.

Just when Li Lei was lingering in the lights and wine, his mother Shu Qin had just been freed from a busy day of work. Feeling exhausted physically and mentally, Shu Qin took a hot bath early, lay comfortably on the sofa and turned on the TV.

A group of pictures appeared on the screen, and the news announcer was speaking in pure Mandarin: Municipal Party Secretary Chen Weizhong cordially visited lonely elderly people, some of whom were close to 100 years old... Shuqin picked up the remote control and pressed several buttons in a row, but the pictures that flashed by were all shots of Secretary Chen speaking.

"It's just to attract attention..." Shuqin said lightly, and then switched several channels, and finally found her figure in the news that was being broadcasted by the Municipal Economic TV Station at this time: The typhoon center predicts that Typhoon "Yingruo" will land on the coast of our city within 9 hours, with a central wind force of 12-14 or above. In the next 48 hours, there will be heavy rainfall in our city, please make preparations for flood prevention... This afternoon, Mayor Shuqin personally visited the coastal front line for field inspections, had cordial conversations with the majority of staff fighting on the front line of flood prevention, and personally...

In the camera, on the sea-blocking dam, strong winds have been blowing over the sea, and the female mayor's bangs have been blown messy, and her dress has been slightly rolled up by the sea breeze. A large group of fawning grassroots cadres surrounded her, circling around her like annoying flies.

Seeing this, Shuqin smiled slightly. Chen Weizhong, you are a member of the provincial party committee, so what? You are on TV, so what? Can't you just look at the elderly and cut the ribbon when a project opens? I still have the final say in Huanghai City... Humph, I will replace the propaganda minister sooner or later.

Alas, although everything that should be done has been done, who knows what will happen in such a big storm? Thinking of this, Shuqin sat up from the sofa and picked up the phone: "Xiao Li, I'll take a rest first, you come and pick me up in three hours."

A woman who is strong enough to suppress the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee secretary, Shuqin definitely relies on more than just her husband's influence. At work, she is simply a strong woman, doing many things by herself, not the kind of person who only knows how to listen to reports in the office all day long.

"We are a small company that has just been established. Mr. Li certainly won't take it seriously." Yu Caifeng teased, "It's not like this Xingcheng Club. Who doesn't know it in Huanghai?"

"Miss Yu, please forgive me." Li Lei replied modestly. In front of people with discerning eyes, Li Lei didn't need to emphasize that the club was not his. After a short pause, Li Lei continued, "I wonder what Miss Yu wants to talk to me about?"

What dancing or not, that's just gossip on the scene. Even if Yu Caifeng really finds me interesting, she won't come to me at this time. Seeing Dai Yang sitting not far away and talking happily with someone, and glancing at this side from time to time, Li Lei knew that Yu Caifeng must have something serious to talk to him about.

"Mr. Li, you know that our company has just opened for a short time and the business is developing very fast. Even if we build a warehouse now, it is too late, right? I have found a place that is very suitable. If Mr. Li is willing to help, we can definitely get it. If Mr. Li is interested, you can also rent it to us. If you don't want to get involved, then do me a small favor. I will thank you after the matter is completed." Yu Caifeng said with a smile.

While listening to him, Li Lei's mind was turning quickly. After Yu Caifeng finished speaking, Li Lei glanced at Dai Yang and asked with a smile: "I don't know if this is your personal opinion or Mr. Dai's opinion?"

"What do you think? What do you think?" Yu Caifeng glanced at Li Lei with a charming look, raised her body, and gently wiped the back of her white hand under her red lips and asked.

Due to the noisy voices in the dance hall, they were very close to each other. A rich fragrance like orchid and musk escaped from Yu Caifeng's body and hairline, constantly teasing and stimulating Li Lei's senses, making him a little excited.

To be honest, in terms of appearance, Yu Caifeng is not more beautiful than Nong Zi, but her manners and dress are more likely to attract men. If Nong Zi is a noble queen, then Yu Caifeng is a sexy goddess. Her body is so curvy, thin where it should be thin, and curved where it should be curved. It seems that she has experienced the baptism of hot and lingering, and it is like a bud that has not yet fully bloomed. With a little spring rain, it will bloom into a scorching flower.

"If it is your intention, I will do my best to help. If it is President Dai's intention, then please tell President Dai that if he can't do it, I can't do it either." Li Lei looked at her plump body hidden under the evening dress, and couldn't help his heart shaking, thinking about it, and his blood rushed to his head.
