That afternoon, Zhou Qing prepared gifts, purchasing a lot of Moutai and Tianxia.
Xiang Yongtao had the bidding conference running full swing; they couldn't afford to sit idle on their end either.
Once the gifts were ready, Zhou Weining took Zhou Qing and headed straight for Jiuyang City.
Upon arriving in Jiuyang City, the first person Zhou Qing visited was Li Hai, at which time he presented numerous gifts.
With the end of the year approaching, it was the best opportunity to cultivate connections, and giving gifts under the guise of New Year's celebrations meant that almost no one would refuse.
Moreover, the value of these gifts was just right, not so extravagant as to be embarrassing but still substantial enough to be presented with confidence.
After leaving Li Hai's home, Zhou Qing asked, "Ning Ge, why didn't you mention to Mayor Li the recent events in Anzhou County?"
