The next day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Gu Kaiwen received a call from Zhou Wanli, the head of the Environmental Protection Department of Shafu District.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu!" Zhou Wanli greeted warmly during the call.

Gu Kaiwen was thinking in his heart why Zhou Wanli called, and responded enthusiastically on the surface, "Good morning, Zhou Ke. Why did you have time to call me today?"

Zhou Wanli responded straight to the point, "Mr. Gu, I have something to ask for inquiry today."

"Oh?" Gu Kaiwen asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

When Gu Kaiwen first became famous, he once owed Zhou Wanli a favor. If Zhou Wanli was asking for something too much, Gu Kaiwen decided to help him.

"Ahem, Mr. Gu, our District Mayor Li came to you yesterday, right?" Zhou Wanli said a little embarrassedly.

If Li Changfu hadn't been his immediate boss, Zhou Wanli wouldn't have come to complain!

Gu Kaiwen smiled at the corner of his mouth, it turned out that this was the case!

"It's such a thing. What's wrong? Zhou Ke is inquiring about the whereabouts of the leader and preparing to rise up?" Gu Kaiwen responded jokingly.

Zhou Wanli was startled by Gu Kaiwen. He subconsciously glanced at Li Changfu next to him. After finding that Li Changfu was not strange, he smiled bitterly and complained, "What are you trying to find out whereabouts! Mr. Gu, I am here as a lobbyist, we..."

However, Zhou Wanli just started talking and was interrupted by Gu Kaiwen.

"Sorry, Zhou Ke, if it is about soil erosion in the Yangtze River, I have already stated the conditions here, and I have not changed my mind for the time being." Gu Kaiwen's original enthusiastic attitude suddenly became cold.

Zhou Wanli turned to look at Li Changfu. He was a lobbyist, what could he do?

‘These big guys look down on me too much! Can I influence the other party with a investment of hundreds of millions of yuan? What a joke!’ Zhou Wanli complained silently in his heart.

Li Changfu pointed to a piece of A4 printing paper and signaled Zhou Wanli to follow the above.

Zhou Wanli said according to the content of the A4 printing paper, "Mr. Gu, we know your conditions. We also held a meeting yesterday to discuss your conditions. There is no conclusion yet. Is Mr. Gu free today? Mayor Zhu, who is responsible for natural and environmental protection in the city, came to Shafu District. Let's meet again to discuss the issue of soil erosion in the Yangtze River?"

Gu Kaiwen listened to Zhou Wanli's slightly formulaic rhetoric, and he knew that Zhou Wanli must have other people around him. He was not just to reject the problem of soil erosion in the Yangtze River, but to fight for more benefits.

Now that Zhou Wanli has made a reconciliation, he agreed with the situation, "Okay! Do you arrange the place, or will I arrange the place?"

"We arranged for the No. 1 conference room in Shafu District. Mr. Gu, what do you think?" Zhou Wanli responded according to the instructions.

Gu Kaiwen asked back, "When is it?"

"Is it OK to wait for ten o'clock?" Zhou Wanli asked again.

It's nine o'clock now, Gu Kaiwen is in Shafu District. He rushed over now, and it will take only fifteen minutes at most.

"No problem, I'll come here right away." Gu Kaiwen agreed.

Nearly 9:50, Gu Kaiwen arrived at the official office building of Shafu District. Zhou Wanli was waiting for him at the door. When Gu Kaiwen drove to arrive, Zhou Wanli called the guard to let him go, and then guided Gu Kaiwen and reserved parking spaces in particular.

Gu Kaiwen stopped the car and looked at Zhou Wanli who was walking towards him. He joked, "Zhou Ke, you're ruining me!"

Zhou Wanli complained, "Mr. Gu, don't tease me anymore, I'm just an errand running guy."

"Hahaha!" Gu Kaiwen smiled, "I almost believed it! By the way, Zhou Ke, who are there today?"

"Except Mayor Zhu Senming, everyone else is acquaintance." Zhou Wanli led the way and said in a low voice, "Han Jianming and Feng Zihao from Shipan District rushed over overnight. They probably want to play the emotional card."

Gu Kaiwen nodded slightly, "Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Wanli smiled and said nothing. He heard Gu Kaiwen's name change clearly, from "Zhou Ke" to "Brother Zhou". Although it seemed a little casual, it actually means that the relationship between the two parties is closer.

In the No. 1 conference room, staff from Shafu District arranged the conference room into a circular layout. In addition to Zhu Senming, there are Qi Dengwei and Yan Zhendong from the Environmental Protection Bureau, Han Jianming and Feng Zihao from Shipan District, and Li Changfu, Zhou Wanli and Kong Guangcai from Shafu District.

Han Jianming and Feng Zihao were very familiar with Gu Kaiwen. When Gu Kaiwen walked in, they greeted Gu Kaiwen respectively.

"Mr. Gu, let me introduce you. This one is Mayor Zhu Senming." Han Jianming introduced to Gu Kaiwen.

Gu Kaiwen looked at Zhu Senming and said, "Hello, Mayor Zhu."

Zhu Senming stretched out his right hand and responded, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

After both parties met, they took a seat. Gu Kaiwen sat opposite Zhu Senming, Han Jianming and Feng Zihao sat on the left of Gu Kaiwen, and Zhou Wanli was on the right of Gu Kaiwen.

Zhu Senming said first, "I have heard of Mr. Gu's name for a long time. Now when I see him, he is indeed young and promising!"

Gu Kaiwen responded with a smile, "Haha, thank Mayor Zhu for his praise. Where did I get the name of my name? It's all notorious!"

"Mr. Gu is too arrogant!" Zhu Senming said seriously, "Mr. Gu's name is well-known. Who among us here doesn't know Mr. Gu's name?"

Everyone agreed and said that they had heard Gu Kaiwen's name.

Gu Kaiwen smiled and said, "It seems that my reputation as a bad boss has been widely spread! But to be honest, Xiao Jingzhai's consumption is still very cheap!"

"..." Zhu Senming was suddenly choked because he understood what Gu Kaiwen meant.

They just praised Gu Kaiwen's reputation in the field of environmental protection, but Gu Kaiwen deliberately distorted it to Xiaojingzhai, thus revealing an attitude that he did not consider talking about natural environmental protection today.

Of course, Gu Kaiwen is not going to give up the task of controlling soil erosion in the Yangtze River, but just to win more benefits!

Because of Gu Kaiwen's subtext, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little stagnant, and Gu Kaiwen seemed to have suddenly noticed it. He asked, "By the way, Brother Zhou, why are you asking me here today?"

Gu Kaiwen deliberately asked what he was doing today, sending another signal that if he wanted to talk to him about soil erosion in the Yangtze River, then talk carefully and don’t make any tricks to make a fortune.

Zhu Senlin breathed a little relieved. As long as Gu Kaiwen did not completely block their negotiation space, they could negotiate slowly with Gu Kaiwen.

Even if Gu Kaiwen must have land use rights, as long as the conditions are in place, it is not impossible to negotiate!

As long as you are willing to talk, it is a good start...
