Chapter 327: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (12)
Translator: 549690339
The moment Zuo Hancheng appeared, everyone in the private room was stunned.
In the next moment, Gu Tianming looked at Zuo Hancheng in shock and stood up slowly at the same time.
The moment Zuo Hancheng entered the room, Anhao raised her head and met his gaze.
His gaze was very cold, but no other emotions could be seen. His cold gaze only pierced into her eyes the moment they met. Anhao immediately felt as if a cold needle had drilled into her heart, making her shiver violently.
However, it was only for a moment before Hancheng’s gaze shifted away from her. Just like Wenner just now, he did not seem to know her.
Anhao’s heart was beating rapidly, and the atmosphere around her changed slightly because of Zuo Hancheng’s appearance.
Gu Tianming was naturally the first to react, but he obviously did not expect to meet a person like Zuo Hancheng here. He wanted to go forward and speak, but he did not speak rashly.
Gu Tianming only looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief until Wenner walked in behind him and introduced him with a warm smile.”Come, let me introduce you. This is a friend I invited today. He’s the international CEO of Shengling Group. Do you still need me to introduce you?”
“Shengling Group?” Although Minister Zhao was usually in Beijing and had never seen Zuo Hancheng’s true face, he immediately looked up in Zuo
Hancheng’s direction when he heard the words ” CEO ” and ” Shengling Group.”
Gu Tianming smiled and said,” I thought you looked familiar just now. It’s indeed Mr. Zuo. I remember that the last time we met was eight months ago at the provincial business and political joint meeting. At that time, I didn’t manage to negotiate with Mr. Zuo, so I’ve always felt a little regretful. He did not expect to meet her here today. This was really fate!”
Gu Tianming walked over to greet him as he spoke. When he reached Zuo Hancheng, he extended his hand politely to shake his hand.
Zuo Hancheng had one hand in his pocket the entire time, as if he did not see Gu Tianming’s outstretched hand. His indifferent gaze swept past him, and his gaze suddenly fell on Gu Anhao.
After all, Gu Tianming had been in the political circles for many years. Zuo Hancheng, a big shot that even the province could not invite, had always kept a low profile. He had repeatedly wanted to have some contact and friendship with this person who had almost monopolized the economic and commercial network of City A five years ago, but Zuo Hancheng was an extremely difficult person to deal with.
In the past five years, the invitations that he had sent out on behalf of the mayor and the political power had been rejected by Shengling Group every time. Zuo Hancheng had always been elusive. Today, he had suddenly appeared here. It was already suspicious enough.
However, when Zuo Hancheng’s gaze landed accurately in Gu Anhao’s direction, Gu Tianming, who was standing very close to him, immediately saw the sharp glint in Zuo Hancheng’s eyes.
Gu Tianming’s heart skipped a beat. He turned around and looked in Gu Anhao’s direction unexpectedly. He saw that Gu Anhao, who had been trying to find a way to avoid such an occasion and always caused trouble, was now sitting quietly on the sofa. It was as if she had become a different person. She was so quiet that it was a little strange.
After a few rounds of observation, Gu Tianming was not sure what was going on. However, Zuo Hancheng could not leave A City, and A City could not offend him. Otherwise, if Shengling Group, which had already monopolized the main economy of A City, left, the economic ratio of A City would definitely drop in an instant. It would also be pushed down by at least five or six places from the first-tier cities in the country. This would definitely affect his future career.
Gu Tianming observed Zuo Hancheng’s gaze with some caution. Then, he saw that Wenner, who had walked in later, had a strange smile on his face. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched. He felt that the silent atmosphere in front of him was the beginning of some kind of disaster. He instinctively retracted his hand that Zuo Hancheng had completely ignored and smiled.
“Mr. Zuo has been leading your company into the business world of City A for so long, but you haven’t had any private contact with me. It’s rare to see you today.”
As soon as Gu Tianming finished speaking, Minister Zhao stood up and walked over at the same time. He looked at Zuo Hancheng with admiration.” I’ve long heard of Shengling Group’s great name, but I didn’t expect the person in charge of Shengling Group to be so young. Since you’re already here, let’s sit down and get to know each other. After all, the officialdom is inseparable from the business world, and the business world is inseparable from the officialdom. I heard that President Zuo has rarely had any contact with the political world in City A. Could it be that he has never planned to participate in too many projects and investments related to the government? After all, the development prospects of City A were also related to how strong Shengling Group’s foothold was.”
Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze away from Gu Anhao, who was curled up on the sofa like an ostrich. He glanced at Minister Zhao, who had just placed his hand on Anhao’s shoulder. The smile in his eyes was cold and did not reach his eyes.
His voice was so cold that it seemed to be as far away as a few glaciers.”Minister Zhao, I haven’t seen you before, but I recognize you.”
Upon hearing this, Minister Zhao, who had already drunk quite a bit, reached out to shake his hand.
However, Zuo Hancheng merely glanced at his outstretched hand and said calmly, ‘”‘1 wonder if the misunderstanding between Minister Zhao and General Ouyang two years ago has been resolved? Do you need me to help you pass a few words?”
Minister Zhao’s smiling old face was instantly stunned. He looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief.
This…
Gu Tianming, who was standing at the side, knew that Minister Zhao had offended Ouyang Shangguan back then and almost lost his position in the National X Council. However, he did not expect Zuo Hancheng to know about such a confidential matter.
The reason why Shengling Group was not to be trifled with was not only because of its strong financial resources in the country, but also because the Zuo family and Shengling Group seemed to have an unbreakable relationship and status in the domestic military world. Even a cautious person like General Ouyang would draft a letter to decide to hand over the manufacturing rights of domestic military equipment to the factory under Shengling Group. It was obvious that this relationship was indeed extraordinary.
Zuo Hancheng was already the target of many people in the political world who wanted to collude with him but had never succeeded. However, he held a few important economic resources in the coastal areas near A City. Just a simple stomp of his foot was enough to shock nearly ten provinces around him. In addition, the forces behind them were in the military and hidden in the dark. Although Zuo Hancheng was only a businessman in their eyes, he was definitely a threat.
Hearing him suddenly say something that was almost touching Minister Zhao’s Achilles ‘heel, Minister Zhao and Gu Tianming looked at each other silently.
She really did not understand why Zuo Hancheng would suddenly appear with such an attitude.. Could it be that one of them had offended him?
