Chapter 824: Dividend from Dry Shares
Chapter 824: Dividend from Dry Shares
Though Lin Hao understood Cheng Jiayao's small intentions, he wasn't angry, clearly giving her enough respect.
Cheng Jiayao knew she was in the wrong and smiled flatteringly, quickly explaining, "County Magistrate Lin, I was involved in this project when we initially attracted investment, so..."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Hao raised his hand to signal that there was no need to explain further.
"County Magistrate Lin, this way please!" President Feng smiled and gestured invitingly.
Since he was here, he might as well stay!
Led by President Feng, Lin Hao strode towards the hall.
This forest hot spring resort hotel is somewhat different from the city hotels, with a main structure and other areas being independent one-story buildings.
According to President Feng, this is because the hot springs need to be brought into each room, so the buildings cannot be too tall.
Lin Hao was intrigued upon hearing that the hot spring could enter the room, allowing him to soak in the spring in his room.
After all, bathing in natural hot spring water is very comfortable, easily relieving fatigue, and is said to beautify the skin.
The group passed through the brilliantly decorated hall, took the elevator straight to the restaurant on the third floor, and entered a luxurious private room.
As the most revered guest, Lin Hao naturally sat at the head seat, while Cheng Jiayao sat on one side accompanying him.
Oddly enough, beauty executive Dong Yue sat on the other side, while President Feng occupied the lowest seat.
Cheng Jiayao clearly noticed this and whispered an explanation, "County Magistrate Lin, tonight is President Dong treating us, with President Feng accompanying us!"
"Oh..." Lin Hao nodded slightly, clearly understanding.
"I know you're busy. President Dong wanted to treat you, and President Feng wished to meet you, so they arranged it together," Cheng Jiayao explained softly.
"No problem!" Lin Hao nodded.
Given that tonight's gathering was organized by Dong Yue, she should sit in the host's position.
Of course, it's not that President Feng didn't want to host, but rather Dong Yue insisted, leading to this arrangement.
Soon, the hotel served a table full of fine wine and food, and everyone began chatting while eating.
"County Magistrate Lin, I salute you to express my gratitude for your support to Anbang Supervision Company and to me personally," Dong Yue raised her glass in invitation.
"President Dong, you're too kind. It's just a minor effort, not worth mentioning!" Lin Hao humbly clinked glasses with her.
Seeing her good friend offering a toast, Cheng Jiayao hurriedly picked up her glass and said, "County Magistrate Lin, I'll join you for one!"
"Yaoyao, I also want to thank you! Thank you for your help!" Dong Yue clinked glasses with her.
"With so many years of friendship and being classmates, saying thank you feels too formal," Cheng Jiayao said with a smile.
"You were classmates, why didn't you mention it before, hiding it from me?" Lin Hao jokingly criticized with a smile.
"Haven't I told you now?" Cheng Jiayao laughed.
"Right, right, it's not too late now. Old classmates, let's finish the drink!"
Lin Hao chuckled, clinked glasses with them, and drank it all.
Once the beauty executive had finished her toast, President Feng also came over with his glass to offer a toast.
"County Magistrate Lin, I enjoy making friends. Please feel free to visit for a hot spring soak anytime!" Feng Jiaxiang said with a smile.
"President Feng, you're too kind!" Lin Hao politely clinked glasses with him.
After he finished his drink, President Feng smiled and requested, "County Magistrate Lin, our resort hotel project is also a county-level investment attraction project, and I hope the county can support us."
"Since it's an investment attraction project of the county, the county committee and government will definitely support it vigorously," Lin Hao replied perfunctorily.
This is a project introduced by the previous administration, so it doesn't have much to do with him, and he doesn't want to get involved.
Someone of President Feng's managerial level naturally understands the reasoning, so he didn't expect Lin Hao to help him just because of a drink.
However, he wasn't in a rush; he had already met County Magistrate Lin, and there would be plenty of opportunities later.
Perhaps Dong Yue refrained from discussing work due to President Feng's presence, while President Feng also refrained from making too many requests due to the presence of others.
After they were full and satisfied, the three, as previously agreed, went to the hotel rooms to soak in the hot springs.
The hot spring hotel does indeed have the spring brought into the room and into the bath, but the bath isn't very large, just about twice the size of a bathtub.
Nevertheless, soaking in the hot spring at the hotel is indeed a very pleasant experience.
President Feng gave them three room cards, with adjacent rooms, which conveniently facilitated communication.
"County Magistrate Lin, we'd like to visit your room for a while," Dong Yue said.
"Why? Is there something else you want to discuss with me?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, we won't eat you!"
Cheng Jiayao stepped forward to support him, took the room card, swiped it, pushed the door open, and helped Lin Hao inside.
Dong Yue, being clever, followed closely behind and immediately closed the door.
Lin Hao had drunk quite a bit tonight, and with the beauty's support, he staggered into the room and slumped onto the sofa.
"Alright, what else do you want to discuss?" Lin Hao asked directly.
Dong Yue glanced at Cheng Jiayao, sat on Lin Hao's other side, and linked her arm with his, looking intimate.
"County Magistrate Lin, you're drunk, how can we discuss anything?"
"I'm not drunk, just a little tipsy," Lin Hao said, shaking his head to clear it a bit more.
Cheng Jiayao smiled at her friend and said, "Yueyue, if you have something to say, just tell County Magistrate Lin directly."
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point," Dong Yue also felt that sooner or later she had to say it, so there was no need for reservations.
Lin Hao knew that her invitation to dinner probably meant no good, yet he couldn't refuse Cheng Jiayao, so he came reluctantly.
Seeing the beauty discussing serious matters, Lin Hao blinked to make himself even more alert.
"County Magistrate Lin, I understand our county is about to develop a new city area and the new-energy vehicle industry, so I want to ask you to help introduce some supervision projects to me," Dong Yue got straight to the point.
"You can rest assured; Cheng Jiayao is your classmate and also your good friend, so I will definitely help you," Lin Hao replied perfunctorily.
"Here's the thing, I want to gift you some dry shares of our company. What do you think?"
Dong Yue was straightforward, mentioning it directly in front of her good friend.
"Forget about dry shares; you're trying to get me to make mistakes!" Lin Hao refused decisively.
"County Magistrate Lin, I know that might not be good for you, so I let Yaoyao hold the shares on your behalf, and there will be dividends every year."
Dong Yue pushed her good friend forward, thinking that having Cheng Jiayao hold shares for Lin Hao would have no impact on him.
"Regarding dividends, just consider Director Cheng, no need to consider me," Lin Hao still refused.
"County Magistrate Lin, you don't even know how many dry shares I'm giving you and how much the annual dividend is; are you in such a hurry to refuse?" Dong Yue smiled lightly.
