Chapter 1972 Hot spring bath

Qin Feng would not take what Xiao Jianan said too seriously. What Xiao Jianan lacked the least was good wine and cigarettes. When his business grew to a certain scale, it was actually no longer about business but relationships. Socializing was Xiao Jianan's main job.

But what Xiao Jianan said was right. The previous meal with Chen Wuning and Zhu Lijun was basically spent drinking, so I was still hungry.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate and picked up the dish and started eating.

Qin Feng, Xiao Jianan, Li Jing and Meng Dan had dinner together. During the meal, Xiao Jianan did not talk about other topics, but just chatted. The four of them talked and laughed, and finished the meal in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Of course, the bottle of Moutai was also drunk by Qin Feng and Xiao Jianan.

Qin Feng drank a lot of wine during the two meals. Even though he had a good alcohol tolerance, he still felt a little dizzy.

After dinner, Qin Feng was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Jianan.

"Qin Feng, Li Jing told me that you have booked a room in the hotel. You are too polite. You came to Dongyang and booked a room in another hotel. Isn't it a waste of time to open this hotel?"

"We're not going anywhere tonight. I've specially prepared a room for you here in the Red Mansion. From now on, this room will be yours alone. You can stay here when you return to Dongyang. Come on, I've built a new hot spring room upstairs. Let you experience it." Xiao Jianan forcibly pulled Qin Feng upstairs.

Xiao Jianan actually built a new hot spring pool upstairs. Qin Feng didn't know how much it would cost, but no matter how much money it cost, it was worth it for Xiao Jianan. The Red Mansion itself was not open to the public. It was a place for Xiao Jianan's private banquets.

Four people entered the hot spring pool. Qin Feng and Xiao Jianan were shirtless and wearing shorts, while the two women, Meng Dan and Li Jing, were wearing bikini swimsuits.

Qin Feng refused at first, thinking it was too embarrassing, but Xiao Jianan forced the arrangement and Qin Feng couldn't refuse, so he went into the pool with Xiao Jianan first.

But when Meng Dan and Li Jing, two women wearing bikini-like swimsuits, also entered the pool, Qin Feng was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look.

However, since everyone had already entered the pool, he could only pretend to be calm and chat with Xiao Jianan.

Then the waiter came up with the wine.

The two women drank red wine, French. Xiao Jianan and Qin Feng drank foreign wine, Remy Martin or something, anyway, that's how Xiao Jianan introduced it. Qin Feng didn't know much about these foreign wines, but he knew they were definitely not cheap.

Qin Feng had already drunk a lot of white wine that night and felt that he was about to get drunk. He really didn't want to drink anymore, but Xiao Jianan kept persuading him and he couldn't refuse.

The two women were drinking red wine and chatting over there, while Qin Feng and Xiao Jianan were leaning against the pool, smoking and drinking foreign wine. It must be said that it was really enjoyable to take a bath here after dinner and drinking.

"Hey, Qin Feng, business is not good now. My situation is very difficult." Xiao Jianan sighed after taking a sip of wine.

Qin Feng knew that Xiao Jianan was about to get to the point.

"Mr. Xiao, you have a wealthy family and your business is booming. Who in Dongyang doesn't know you, Mr. Xiao Jianan? You are actually trying to play the victim to me. That's too much!" Qin Feng smiled.

"I'm not trying to be pitiful at all. I'm telling the truth." Xiao Jianan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"When you were still in Dongyang and Secretary Zhou was still around, my life was indeed easy. If you said that my business was booming at that time, I would never deny it. But now... things change over time." Xiao Jianan sighed again.

"What's wrong? Is there anything that you, Mr. Xiao, can't settle in Dongyang?" Qin Feng asked.

"Luo Chu is the mayor. I don't know if you know that when Luo Chu was still the deputy secretary, I had a disagreement with Century Group over the development of Tianyuan Homes. The incident ended up being a big deal, and Secretary Zhou knew about it."

"In the end, I won and successfully acquired the land for development. But I offended Luo Chu because of this, and the offense was deep, because Luo Chu personally stood up for Century Group on this matter at the time."

"Now Luo Chu is the mayor. Although this incident doesn't count as a grudge against him, he still doesn't have a good impression of me. After he became mayor, I tried many ways to visit him, but he never met me once and didn't give me any face at all." Xiao Jianan shook his head helplessly.

Qin Feng knew Luo Chu well and he was indeed not a very cunning person.

Qin Feng somewhat understood Xiao Jianan's difficulties. With Zhou Qiming's death, Xiao Jianan lost his biggest political capital in Dongyang. In their circle, doing business is actually a political resource.

"Where is Huang Ming? Don't tell me you haven't thought about following Huang Ming's path." Qin Feng asked while drinking.

"You know, Huang Ming was transferred from Shuanglin City to Dongyang City as the party secretary. Not long after he came to Dongyang, a local real estate company from Shuanglin City came to Dongyang and began to enter the real estate industry in Dongyang City. Recently, it has been very aggressive. I am no match for it. All the fat meat has gone into its mouth. The two properties I have opened now are useless."

"The most important thing is that I can't contact Huang Ming at all, and he doesn't pay any attention to me. These big leaders are very taboo about dealing with businessmen, let alone a stranger like me who has no one to introduce him to. It is even more impossible for them to have any intersection with me."

"Brother, you should be able to feel how difficult my situation is in Dongyang now, right?" Xiao Jianan handed Qin Feng another cigarette.

Qin Feng nodded. He knew that Xiao Jianan was not lying. Real estate was a special industry. Without the support of political resources, it would be difficult to move forward.

"Qin Feng, I definitely can't handle Dongyang anymore. I have to move to another place. This industry is a process of sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, the only thing waiting for you is destruction. There is no such thing as maintaining the status quo."

"Besides, Dongyang has experienced great development in recent years. Just taking the real estate market as an example, the amount of development in the past few years is equivalent to what might not be achieved in a normal ten years. The inventory is too high. There is not much room for Dongyang's real estate market to move forward in the future." Xiao Jianan further said.

"Are you going to give up Dongyang?"

"I'm not giving up. I still have a lot of assets and people in Dongyang. It's impossible for me to give up. I just want to move the main development direction out of Dongyang."

Qin Feng nodded and understood what Xiao Jianan meant, but Qin Feng still did not say it out loud. Xiao Jianan obviously wanted to go to Xiquan, otherwise he would not have come to find Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, I want to go to Xiquan." Xiao Jianan raised this question again. Xiao Jianan had mentioned it last time, but Qin Feng refused on the grounds that it was not the right time.
