Chapter 921 - 962: The Arrival of the Saintess
Su Mengxin made her stance clear; she intended to push Li Yifei into the limelight. Song Zhentao, a shrewd man, could easily discern this, and it was apparent from Li Yifei’s statements that he was preparing to make substantial investments in Mile City. This was even better news for Song Zhentao.
The development of a city obviously benefits from the presence of more enterprises. If substantial investments could be attracted, it would greatly benefit the local overall development. Sometimes a large enterprise can support the growth of a city. Although the enterprises Li Yifei planned to invest in were not as dominant as large state-owned enterprises, leveraging the Su Family’s wealth to bring in investments worth billions would also be a significant political achievement. Even without Su Mengxin’s help, this would allow him to accumulate enough political capital to advance smoothly in his career.
Song Zhentao was not yet fifty years old, yet he had already become the Municipal Party Secretary. He definitely had the potential to rise further. Therefore, he had a natural fondness for those who could improve his political performance.
Originally, he planned to accompany Li Yifei throughout, but being the Municipal Party Secretary, directly accompanying Li Yifei would be too ostentatious and might make others feel uncomfortable. As a leader, he had to consider all aspects, so after speaking with Li Yifei for a bit, he let Li Yifei and his group enter on their own.
In Mile City, Li Yifei had always kept a low profile. Even if he had attended a social gathering before, he remained on the sidelines. He did not like superficial interactions; he preferred genuine communication.
Now, however, things were different. He had to step into the spotlight and engage in such social interactions. He had prepared himself mentally for this, so after parting ways with Song Zhentao, he became the center of attention, leading his group inside.
As soon as Li Yifei and his group entered, many eyes were drawn to them. Among the four, Xu Yingying was recognized by everyone. Su Mengxin, radiant as ever, had left a lasting impression during her last visit to Mile City, attended by almost all the local notables.
Ning Xin’er, being a major celebrity, was frequently seen on television, but these company heads seldom watched entertainment shows, so not many recognized her. However, both her appearance and demeanor made it clear to these executives that she was no ordinary person.
Although beautiful women attracted attention, many here were seasoned individuals over fifty, well-accustomed to such sights and thus quite immune to their charm. What concerned them more was the positioning of these four individuals together.
At that moment, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were walking side by side, Xu Yingying linking arms with Li Yifei; Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er, both hailing from prominent families, followed half a step behind, clearly understanding that even this half step was enough to highlight their men.
