This was the first time Feng Yu went to Zhang Han’s office . This was his Beijing Municipal Party Committee office . Beijing was richer than Bing City, and the office was bigger and nicer than Zhang Ruiqiang’s .

The only thing Feng Yu was not satisfied was the tea . Zhang Han’s father’s tea was not as nice as Zhang Ruiqiang’s .
“Uncle Zhang, I need a favor from you . ” Feng Yu was straight to the point .
“As long as it is not against the rules, I will try my best to help . ” Zhang Han’s father knew that his daughter and Wen Dongjun will be together in the future and there was nothing he could do . But Wen Dongjun was not a scheming person, and if he enters the government service, he will be at a disadvantage . When Zhang Han’s father was still in power, he could take care of Wen Dongjun . But what if he retires? Who will look after Wen Dongjun?
Zhang Han’s father was not confident to take care of Wen Dongjun after he retires . To let his daughter, have a good life in the future, Wen Dongjun needs to move up the ranks in the government .
Although Zhang Han’s father could not help Wen Dongjun for long, Wen Dongjun’s childhood friend, Feng Yu could . These two grew up wearing the same pant and were very close . If it were not for Feng Yu’s help, Wen Dongjun would not be able to buy two apartments in Beijing .
Zhang Han’s father cannot make both of them closer, but he must not let both of them drift apart . He knows that when he was still in power, he must help Feng Yu as much as possible to pave a path for his precious daughter .
When Feng Yu heard that Zhang Han’s father was willing to help him, he said: “I would want to treat Deputy Mayor Liu to a meal . ”
Zhang Han’s father choked on his cigarette smoke . He knew that it should not be an easy task when Feng Yu had come to him for help . But he never expects Feng Yu wants to meet the Deputy Mayor .
“Xiao Feng, why do you want to meet Old Liu?”

“Nothing much . I want to buy a stake in Beijing Quanjude Company . I heard that the City Government is the one who makes all the decision . That’s why I am asking you to introduce me to Deputy Mayor Liu . ” Feng Yu said casually .
“You want to buy a stake in what company? Quanjude? Isn’t that a roast duck restaurant?”
“This year May, the Beijing Quanjude Company was set up . I am interested in this company and want to invest in it . ” Feng Yu explained .
“Although I do not have many interactions with Old Liu at work, we do not have any conflicts . It should not be a problem to ask him up . But I cannot interfere with the City Government’s work . I can’t help you much . ” Zhang Han’s father wanted Feng Yu to know that he can’t help to persuade Deputy Mayor Liu .
“No problem . I am confident that I can convince him . ” Feng Yu smiled .
“Okay . I will call him now . ”
Deputy Mayor Liu did not know why Zhang Han’s father asked him out for dinner . But this was the first time Zhang Han’s father had invited him for dinner, and he can’t refuse . Furthermore, many of the City’s work needs the approval of Public Security . Zhang Han’s father was not only Beijing’s Director of Police Force, but he was also the Secretary of Public Security Committee .
“This evening 7 pm . Gao Zhuang Hotpot . You need me to send someone to pick you?”

“No need . I will be there myself . ”
Gao Zhuang Hotpot was also an established restaurant in Beijing . It serves Sichuan Hotpot . Deputy Mayor Liu was from Shancheng, and Feng Yu had purposely arranged for the dinner to be at this restaurant .
10 minutes before 7 pm, 2 Songjiang Olympic model, cars stopped in front of the Hotpot restaurant . Misuse of government cars? Never mind . Even their higher-ups do not care about this . Why should he care?
Feng Yu had made a reservation for a VIP room and also a table in the main hall for the drivers .
After some simple introductions, Feng Yu invite everyone to have dinner first .
“It’s been a while since I had such authentic Sichuan Hotpot . I did not know that there is a restaurant in Beijing that serves such good hotpot . ” Deputy Mayor Liu put down his chopsticks and wiped his sweat with a clean handkerchief .
“Hahaha . Luckily this is a double pot . I can’t handle the heat . It is too spicy . ” Zhang Han’s father looked at the boiling red-hot chili oil in the pot . He tried a bit of the soup earlier and dare not to touch it again/
“Everyone of us has different tastes . But we still have hotpot together . ” Feng Yu said .
Deputy Mayor Liu took a sip of tea: “Manager Feng, we are done eating . What is it you are looking for me?”

Deputy Mayor Liu was not sure of Feng Yu’s relationship with Secretary Zhang . Just because both were from Bing City? There was a huge difference in their age, and both should not be friends . Both of them might have some under table dealings .
But Deputy Mayor Liu also felt that this was impossible . Secretary Zhang had good reputations and was never seen being close to any businessmen . Could it be that this Manager Feng had some relations with the higher-ups? Secretary Zhang did not tell him anything .
“Mayor Zhang, are you in charge of the City’s funds?”
Deputy Mayor Zhang frowned . What does this young man want? He was interested in the City’s assets?
“I am the person-in-charge . ” He was the Senior Deputy Mayor of Beijing, and even if he was not in charge of this, he could also make decisions . Deputy Mayor Liu was now very interested in what favors does Feng Yu wants from him .
“I want to invest in Beijing Quanjude Company . ” Feng Yu replied .
“You want to invest in Quanjude? Why?” Deputy Mayor Liu knew that Beijing Quanjude Company was converted into a shareholding and he was the one who issued this order .
“Because I like Quanjude and I want to bring it to greater heights . ” Feng Yu replied calmly as if bringing Quanjude to greater heights was an easy task .
“Bring it to greater heights? How are you going to do that?”
“Setting up a chain of restaurants . ”
“We do not need your help to do this . We are also planning to do this ourselves . ” What Feng Yu said was similar to Jiang Xianjun’s plans . Deputy Mayor Liu knew the benefits of this proposal, but why should they let other people invest in the company? They could do it themselves .
“Because I can let Quanjude grow within a short period . For instance, I can use restaurants to invest and merge into Quanjude Holdings . Or we can let the restaurants in Shancheng to serve our Quanjude roast ducks as their specialty . At the same time, we can serve the specialties of other regions . ”
“You have restaurants in ShanCheng?” Deputy Mayor Liu asked .
“Currently I do not own any restaurants, but if you agree to let me invest, I will have restaurants immediately . Not only in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore and even in the US . ” Feng Yu replied confidently .
All Feng Yu needs to do was to buy over some restaurants in good locations . This was an easy task for Feng Yu . In his previous life, customers need to queue up for Quanjude restaurants . The demand was much more than the supply . One reason was because of Quanjude’s brand, and the other was their roast ducks were very delicious .
With Quanjude’s brand and it's roast ducks, the chain of restaurants will surely have good businesses . Especially the special sauce that comes with the roast ducks . Even the Westerners like the taste .
Deputy Mayor Liu saw Feng Yu’s confident reply, and he turned to Zhang Han’s father: “Secretary Zhang, what do you think?”
Deputy Mayor Liu was not asked Zhang Han’s father for his opinions . He was asking of Feng Yu can really deliver what he said . Zhang Han’s father had only introduced Feng Yu as a businessman from Bing City and did not tell him what business Feng Yu was doing .
“Manager Feng’s Wind and Rain brand, Aiwa brand, and Songjiang brand are all doing very well . I think it should not be a problem for him to manage Quanjude!”
