Chapter 387 Just say what you need to say.
Contrary to her usual behavior, Qin Mengjuan actually took the initiative to have some physical contact with Dawei.
Touching Dawei's hand is secondary.
The leg under the table brushed against Dawei's calf, seemingly unintentionally.
She has already matured a bit, and has a very charming mature woman vibe.
His gaze became somewhat indescribable and enigmatic...
David felt a little dizzy.
This……
This is probably not a good thing.
It doesn't feel right to call her "sister."
He has already recognized Wang Guozheng as his godfather.
She admitted to being Wang Guozheng's sister.
You should call her "aunt" because of the generational difference.
She's not Wang Xiaodan. Wang Xiaodan is so much younger, calling her "aunt" would make her seem old, so she calls her "sister."
Thinking of this, Dawei pulled his hand away from the cup.
Just as she pulled back a little, Qin Mengjuan grabbed Dawei's hands with both of them, looking at him with a playful expression.
"What, am I old and no longer attractive?"
"..." David stared at him blankly.
"Don't you like taking shortcuts? If you take this shortcut, you'll get promoted faster. In Guangdong Province, I can give you anything you want. Your godfather is far away and can't help you with specific things."
"I……"
"Don't be shy. Be honest. You can say anything here. I also took shortcuts to get here. There's nothing shameful about it."
"That's not what I meant, Governor Mengjuan..."
Qin Mengjuan's smile froze, and her eyes sharpened: "You think I'm too old?"
David had one hand held by her, and he quickly waved his other hand, saying, "No, no."
You are not old at all.
In the prime of life.
If you were a flower, you would be in full bloom, at your most beautiful.
"Not at all old."
Qin Mengjuan was amused by him again: "Then why don't you accept it?"
A true man knows what to do and what not to do.
David's face darkened, and he pulled his hand back from holding the glass, placing it on the table as a sign of disrespect.
It's fine if you don't drink it.
The woman in front of me had pursued my godfather.
No matter how much of a jerk I am, I can't touch a woman like that.
I don't know why Qin Mengjuan suddenly acted like this...
This is not a good thing.
"Oh?" Qin Mengjuan scrutinized the other person with a complicated expression: "That shocking kneeling incident in Kyoto, why not talk about what you should and shouldn't do?"
Dawei said seriously, "Governor Mengjuan is humiliating me."
I have come here solely to offer my congratulations; I have no other intentions.
If I do something wrong that makes you think I'm an opportunist, someone who would sacrifice anything to get ahead, then I won't blame you.
That's not your fault.
This means there's something I didn't do well enough, and that's why I give people this impression.
I will seriously review and reflect on this.
but!
I will never do anything that goes against my original intentions.
I kneel, but I kneel to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness.
My godfather:
Being loyal to the people—that is loyalty.
He is my godfather's adopted son, and he is very filial to his godfather; this is filial piety.
My godfather's only daughter, Wang Xiaodan, was loved and cared for with utmost devotion; this is kindness.
He was willing to help ambitious young people like me. Besides me, my godfather also helped many younger generations. He was loyal and devoted to his friends. This is true loyalty.
My godfather was loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous.
What wrong have I done by kneeling?
It's one thing if outsiders laugh at us.
I never imagined that you, as my godfather's confidante, would look down on me like this?
In reality, they underestimated my godfather.
This trip was completely unnecessary for me.
After David finished speaking, he tried to get up.
"Wait!" Qin Mengjuan shouted sternly, gesturing for him to sit down. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
David sat down, fuming and not saying a word.
Qin Mengjuan straightened her legs, sat up straight, picked up her wine glass, downed the wine in her glass, and resumed her usual serious demeanor at work.
"Don't blame me."
You must have put a lot of thought into getting these two orchids.
You came here specifically to see me, didn't you?
You're too quick-witted.
I saw a side of myself that many people don't see.
They also witnessed the power struggle between me and Vice Governor Zhou, and even guessed the outcome.
If someone like you were a friend, that would be our good fortune.
If they were enemies, then they would be a purple disaster for us.
So, I have to help my older brother check you out before giving you a try.
Your godfather is usually a good judge of character, but he was quite old when he met you, so I'm worried he might have made a mistake.
If you want to enter my circle and come into my view, of course I have to test you.
Don't be angry.
Everything I just said was a lie.
I'm not interested in you.
I have an eagle in my heart.
You just need to do your own thing.
David looked into her eyes, somewhat bewildered, his heart pounding with anxiety. He was relieved that he hadn't been seduced.
Power, wealth, and lust.
Qin Mengjuan always plays her best cards.
I just wanted to test whether I could be bought off by these things.
A person who can be easily bribed, a person without any bottom line or principles, a woman who dares to touch even her godfather's confidante—that is absolutely unacceptable.
Fortunately, I withstood the test.
"So that's what happened. You...you scared me just now."
"Heh, not at all. You've got some nerve, kid. You dare to embarrass me. Even your godfather wouldn't dare treat me like this."
"I was wrong, I was wrong... Aunt, please don't hold it against me, a junior. I'll punish myself with three cups!"
David downed three cups in a row.
After finishing the drink, he quickly picked up some food to pat his stomach down.
Alcohol is the best icebreaker.
Qin Mengjuan's displeasure vanished instantly.
"Calling her aunt is correct."
Calling someone "sister" would mean there's a generational difference.
"So, you came here to see me for no reason other than to bring me orchids and congratulate me?"
David nodded affirmatively.
Qin Mengjuan was still somewhat skeptical: "You're such a busy person, a simple congratulatory text message would have been just as good, and you didn't need to come all this way to deliver the orchids."
Just say what's on your mind.
Since he's already calling her aunt, how could I not help my own nephew?
"It would be too formal not to tell you."
David lowered his head and whispered slowly, "Well, there really is something."
Two things.
The first issue is the approval process for the Meiyuan Expressway, which is currently stuck with Vice Governor Zhou and his team.
Taking advantage of Chen Tiecai's investigation, I urge Vice Governor Zhou to push things forward. I think he will do so quickly to protect himself.
The second thing... is about the bank.
Yuanshan County is poor.
Many wealthy people from Keyuanshan County who have moved away from the county are quite rich.
These local notables have substantial savings in banks in Yuanshan County, which they leave for their families.
Therefore, the county bank has money.
But I can't control the bank. Last time, when we were trying to get a job for the wife of our executive director—the head of a small county bank—we couldn't do anything about it. We had to find someone from the province to handle it.
It will probably be difficult to get a loan from the banks in the county.
Several projects are currently underway in the county, but there is a significant funding gap.
Foreign banks don't know much about Yuanshan County, making it even harder for them to issue loans.
I'd like to ask my aunt for help.
"Could we try to influence the people at Yuanshan County Bank to find someone who works with our county government and can help us secure financing?"
