Chapter 478: Chapter 225: Old Xu’s Son-in-Law Is Absolutely No Ordinary Man!

About the project of investing in Jinwei Welding Materials.

Although Jiang Tao agreed too readily, Zhu Haibin didn’t think much of it.

He figured that it was likely that Jiang Tao had already gained detailed knowledge about Jinwei Welding Materials through his father-in-law, Xu Wencheng.

Besides, he was the financing party, not the investment party.

The more readily the financial backer gives money, the sooner the funds will arrive, the better!

Around 1 PM.

A Beijing-registered Mercedes G-Class and a similarly registered black Audi A8 drove one after the other into Baiyulan Hotel’s open-air parking lot.

"President Jiang, you’ve arrived!"

"President Jiang, good afternoon!"

The two security guards in the parking lot greeted Jiang Tao eagerly upon seeing him.

Zhu Haibin, standing nearby, became even more convinced that Jiang Tao wasn’t ordinary.

When entertaining big clients, he occasionally came to Baiyulan Hotel.

He had never enjoyed such a treatment.

"Good afternoon."

Jiang Tao had been coming to Baiyulan Hotel quite frequently these days and was quite familiar with the two security guards; he smiled and responded to them.

"Seems like President Jiang has been to Baiyulan Hotel quite often."

As he led the way, Zhu Haibin chatted casually.

Jiang Tao chuckled and said, "Not many times, just a few."

"Speaking of Baiyulan Hotel, I have to mention its legendary owner, President Bai Yulan."

"President Bai’s reputation in the Ping County business circle is absolutely unmatched."

"Speaking without exaggeration, even the top officials in the county have to give President Bai some respect."

While speaking, Zhu Haibin raised his thumb and his face was full of admiration.

He wasn’t a local of Ping County, but having worked here for over ten years, he had quite a few connections.

Speaking of connections in Ping County, one couldn’t bypass Bai Yulan, President Bai.

"Haha, is Sister Bai that influential in Ping County?"

Jiang Tao knew Bai Yulan was very influential in Ping County but didn’t have a concrete idea.

Today, hearing Zhu Haibin say even the top officials had to show Sister Bai respect.

Jiang Tao gained a new understanding of Bai Yulan’s influence.

"Sister Bai? President Jiang and President Bai..."

Zhu Haibin was a bit surprised upon hearing Jiang Tao’s way of addressing Bai Yulan.

"Friends."

Jiang Tao casually used two simple words to summarize his relationship with Bai Yulan.

But to Zhu Haibin, it sounded somewhat shocking!

Bai Yulan, President Bai’s friend!

President Jiang turned out to be Bai Yulan, President Bai’s friend!

Indeed!

This son-in-law of Old Xu is definitely extraordinary!

He could even connect with President Bai!

It seems he needs to further elevate his attention to this President Jiang!

While chatting, they soon arrived at the entrance of Baiyulan Hotel.

"President Zhu, President Jiang, Brother Xu, you’ve arrived. I’ve already prepared a private room on the 2nd floor; please come in."

Wang Xingguo, who had been waiting at the entrance, quickly came forward to greet Jiang Tao and his group, his attitude extremely enthusiastic.

In stark contrast to the Wang Xingguo who had offended Xu Wencheng at Jinwei Welding Materials.

"President Jiang, Old Xu, please."

"President Zhu, please."

Jiang Tao and Zhu Haibin exchanged pleasantries and walked together toward the hotel entrance.

"President Jiang, good afternoon!"

"President Jiang, you’ve arrived!"

As Jiang Tao stepped in, several client managers at the service desk who were waiting for their guests all took the initiative to greet him.

This level of treatment was something that even Zhu Haibin, a regular patron of Baiyulan Hotel, never experienced.

Under the guidance of a client manager, the group went up to the 2nd floor and into a private room.

After exchanging a few polite words, they settled down and started ordering dishes.

Jiang Tao didn’t hold back at all with Wang Xingguo, ordering seven or eight dishes with a wave of his hand.

Things like Australian lobster, Japanese Wagyu beef rolls, sea cucumber, abalone, anything expensive.

He wanted Wang Xingguo to bleed a little, as a small lesson.

Xu Wencheng was more reserved, only ordering two moderately priced dishes then stopped.

Then, Zhu Haibin and Wang Xingguo ordered a few more, bringing the total to 20 dishes.

Along with drinks, the bill for this table would likely be close to 10,000 yuan.

In a small county like Ping County, a 10,000 yuan table is considered top-tier luxury.

After ordering, the dishes started arriving gradually within ten minutes.

Wang Xingguo, like a little helper, busied himself with the wine decanter pouring wine for everyone.

"President Jiang, I will first punish myself with a drink. I was blind to challenge you."

"I hope you won’t take it to heart, and don’t hold today’s matter against me."

"I sincerely apologize to you, and I will down this drink in one go!"

After speaking, Wang Xingguo raised his glass to his lips and gulped it down in one go.

On the way to Baiyulan Hotel, Zhu Haibin had already reprimanded Wang Xingguo over the phone.

Learning that Jiang Tao was going to be a shareholder of Jinwei Welding Materials.

Wang Xingguo dared not hold a grudge over the kick Jiang Tao gave him.

Instead, he apologized to Jiang Tao, the one who hit him.

"President Jiang, today’s matter was Xiao Wang’s fault. He was quite proactive in treating everyone this time, and his apology is sincere."

"Let’s move past today’s issue, don’t you agree?"

Having realized the relationship between Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan, Zhu Haibin spoke even more politely to Jiang Tao than before.

Though he didn’t verify it was true, his gut feeling was Jiang Tao wasn’t the kind to bluff or pretend.

Jiang Tao looked at Zhu Haibin and smiled:

"Since President Zhu puts it that way, I surely have to give some face. However, my dad deserves this apology even more."

"Brother Xu, this drink, I apologize to you. Sorry for today’s matter, and my past actions were wrong too. I’ll punish myself with two drinks!"
