Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Unbelievable

Luo Ziling reacted swiftly, slightly surprised at first, but he quickly recovered and stood up to greet the new arrivals.

“Mr. Luo, Mayor Ding, I didn’t expect to see you here having dinner,” he said as he walked forward, extending his hand toward Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming who were standing at the doorway, and invited them into the private room.

As Wu Jianjun shook hands with Luo Ziling, he smiled and explained, “It’s quite a coincidence. There is a reception held here today, and the hotel manager mentioned that there were some very handsome young men dining here. I thought it might be Mr. Luo and Miss Yang, so I asked the hotel manager about it, and it turned out to be you guys, what a surprise.”

“While I am with Mr. Wu for a toast,” Ding Zhongming said as he shook hands with Luo Ziling, his eyes turned to the people sitting at the table.

He was taken aback when he saw Ouyang Feifei.

Ding Zhongming knew Ouyang Feifei.

Last year, he represented Yuezhou at the investment promotion conference held in Qiantang, where he met Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei was a distinguished guest, and she was received by the principal leaders of the province.

As an official of his level, he was not qualified to speak with Ouyang Feifei directly, at least not at the investment meeting.

Ouyang Feifei had no plans to invest in Yuezhou, so she would not have any contact with the officials from Yuezhou.

Thus, it could only be said that he knew of Ouyang Feifei, but Ouyang Feifei would not know him.

After the meeting, Ding Zhongming looked up information on Ouyang Feifei, and he was greatly surprised upon learning about her identity.

Ouyang Feifei is so beautiful and young, yet she already controls the vast assets of the Ouyang Family; anyone would be surprised.

It could be said that even an official like Ding Zhongming had to look up to Ouyang Feifei.

Unexpectedly, today he met Ouyang Feifei here at the Xianheng Grand Hotel.

Ouyang Feifei having dinner with Luo Ziling also proved from another aspect that Luo Ziling’s identity was extraordinary.

However, having been in the official circles for many years, Ding Zhongming’s psychological quality was quite good, and after a brief surprise, he quickly regained his composure.

After handshakes, Luo Ziling immediately introduced the people at the table.

The first introduction, of course, was his grandfather, Luo Liansheng.

When Luo Liansheng heard that the guests were main officials from Yuezhou, he was also a bit surprised.

He did not lose his manners; he stood up, shook hands with Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming, and introduced himself as an old man from Yuezhou who had been away from home for more than twenty years.

Upon hearing that this elderly man was Luo Ziling’s grandfather, and seeing Luo Liansheng’s extraordinary demeanor, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming showed their respects.

The second person Luo Ziling introduced was Yang Qingyin, this time stating her full name.

The third person he introduced was Ouyang Feifei.

After Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming stood up, both Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei dropped their earlier light-hearted demeanor and instantly transformed into dignified goddesses.

Yang Qingyin simply extended her hand to lightly shake hands with Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming, but she didn’t say much.

Ouyang Feifei did the same, politely reaching out and shaking hands with the two officials without any further gesture.

“Miss Ouyang, we have met before,” Ding Zhongming said with a smile while shaking hands with Ouyang Feifei: “Last year, during the investment promotion conference in Jiangnan Province, Miss Ouyang attended and I, representing Yuezhou, also participated. I had the honor to meet Miss Ouyang then, though you might not remember me.”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at Ding Zhongming and nodded slightly, softly saying, “At the beginning of the year, I indeed attended the investment conference in Jiangnan Province.”

Hearing the conversation between Ding Zhongming and Ouyang Feifei, Wu Jianjun seemed quite surprised.

Ding Zhongming didn’t let his colleague feel embarrassed and immediately clarified Ouyang Feifei’s identity.

“Mr. Wu, this lady is the Sect Leader of Lingyun Group, the youngest business prodigy in Huaxia, Miss Ouyang,” having clarified Ouyang Feifei’s identity to Wu Jianjun, Ding Zhongming added, “It’s unexpected that Miss Ouyang would visit Yuezhou. We hadn’t heard any news and failed to welcome you, for which I apologize.”

Wu Jianjun, of course, had heard of Lingyun Group and the Ouyang Family.

After learning about the formidable strength of Lingyun Group, he became aware of the Ouyang Family.

After the investment conference last year, Ding Zhongming had reported that failing to connect with Lingyun Group–a behemoth–and bring them to invest in Yuezhou, was a regrettable matter.

At the time, he agreed with what Ding Zhongming had said, but he also knew that Yuezhou, being a smaller city, might not necessarily appeal to Lingyun Group.

Unexpectedly, he met the beautiful President of Lingyun Group, Ouyang Feifei, today.

He knew that Ouyang Feifei often met top leaders directly, and Grandfather Ouyang, of the Ouyang Family, was also highly respected by many top leaders.

Therefore, he immediately broke into a smile, and reached out his hand again, “I’m very fortunate to meet President Ouyang in Yuezhou. I hope you enjoy your time here.”

Initially, Ouyang Feifei just intended to remain indifferent. But at that moment, Luo Ziling gave her a significant look.

She immediately understood and showed a slight smile, saying to Luo Ziling, “I am currently attending a business meeting in Zhonghai. I heard my friend was visiting Yuezhou, so I came to join the fun as well. Grandfather Luo was also returning, so I accompanied him back.”

Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming, being very experienced in life, instantly understood from Ouyang Feifei’s words that she was interested in Luo Ziling. Knowing Luo Ziling was in Yuezhou, she set aside all other matters to come and accompany him.

This afternoon, they had investigated the background of Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling, and soon realized that a top leader surnamed Yang might be related to her.

Ding Zhongming also called the deputy director who had asked for his phone number earlier to inquire about Yang Qingyin’s identity, but the other party was not willing to share much, only mentioning that one of the girls was a family member of a high-level official in Yanjing, advising them to be cautious.

The words of the deputy director made Ding Zhongming and Wu Jianjun fully believe that Yang Qingyin was the family member of that Yang high official.

Understanding this, they showed up here for dinner.

This afternoon, they had been paying attention to the movements of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.

They kept track of their movements through the car plates.

Eventually, their subordinates reported spotting Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin at the Xianheng Grand Hotel, and as they were also hosting guests there, they rushed over to offer a toast.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the important figure Ouyang Feifei in the private room.

If Ouyang Feifei were willing to invest in Yuezhou, it would be an important political achievement for them.

Additionally, forging a connection with the top elite families of Yanjing would definitely be of great assistance to their future paths.

Both Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming felt that coming to the hotel to find Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin was a very wise decision.
