My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 770 - 463 Local Specialties_5

After this meal, Hu Yonghua had certainly expanded his circle of friends and made a strong impression!

Expanding connections, enhancing prestige...

That’s what Hu Yonghua valued.

The cooperation between Gao Yuan and Hu Yonghua was definitely a case of mutual need and mutual satisfaction.

"Everyone, the client mentioned that this is just the first batch of orders. If the cooperation goes well, there may be additional orders to come.

I’ve already fought for this opportunity for you all. Whether you can seize it depends on your own abilities!"

As soon as Hu Yonghua finished speaking, everyone’s eyes lit up even more.

Then there was another round of toasting and merriment, and the host and guests were all in high spirits...

...

"Hic!" Slightly tipsy, Hu Yonghua staggered out of the car with the help of his driver, only to confront an unexpected figure approaching him.

The dim streetlight startled both him and his driver.

"Mr. Secretary of Hu City! I’ve been waiting for you. I’m sorry for intruding so abruptly!" The person coming over bowed deeply right away.

Once he collected himself, Hu Yonghua finally recognized who it was under the doorway light.

"Eh? You are... Have we just met at the dinner table?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Secretary, you remember me?" the young man said excitedly.

"Hm! Of course, I remember," Hu Yonghua chuckled.

Although this young man was sitting in a corner far away, he stood out among the group of portly middle-aged men.

He also seemed to be the only private enterprise willing to join the bidding, which is why Hu Yonghua had some impression of him.

"That’s great! Oh, let me introduce myself. I am Fang Ming, the acting director of Southeast Shipyard from Hujian. Here is my business card!

I didn’t have the chance to have a talk with you just now, so I excused myself from the banquet early and waited here for you. I hope you don’t mind."

After taking the business card, Hu Yonghua looked at him.

"Hello, Mr. Fang. I was wondering why you were waiting here for me. Why didn’t you speak up just now?"

I did want to, but there was simply no opening around you...

Fang Ming seemed a bit hesitant to speak and paused.

"Mr. Secretary, as you know, our Southeast Shipyard is just a private shipbuilding company. We can’t compete with the state-owned enterprises in some areas.

But we are confident in our technology and cost control!

I just hope to get an opportunity to compete on equal footing with all participants!"

Hu Yonghua was taken aback and, looking at the young man who was obviously nervous yet summoning his courage to speak up, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Ha ha! I understand what you’re saying!

Don’t worry, for this batch of orders, neither background nor state enterprise status matters.

If your proposal is better than the others, you will have the opportunity to get the order! I guarantee that!"

Upon hearing what Hu Yonghua said, the young man seemed to finally release a great weight off his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Secretary!"

Then, suddenly remembering something, he handed over a gift bag.

"Right, we have a saying back home that too many gifts won’t offend. This is a little local product from my hometown, please don’t disdain it."

"Hm?" Hu Yonghua eyed the bag being handed over, his brow furrowed.

This young man, he’s also...

He felt a surge of displeasure and his tone cooled.

"Ha! What kind of local product is inside?"

Unaware of Hu Yonghua’s dissatisfaction, Fang Ming scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ha ha! Just some Hujian Fish Balls. Look, they are homemade. The taste is really good, quite famous locally!"

Upon seeing the content of the bag – indeed vacuum-packed fish balls...

Even the driver standing by was dumbstruck.

Hu Yonghua’s expression turned even more peculiar.

So this is how you test an official?

What official wouldn’t pass such a test?
