Today, Taoyuan Building was newly decorated. The exterior walls and glass walls were specially cleaned by a professional company. Every piece of glass looked brand new and shone brightly under the sun.
The small square in front of the building was also beautifully decorated. Inflatable arches, balloons, and banners made the atmosphere jubilant.
A red carpet extended from the entrance of the small square to the entrance of the building. Two stone lions were also hung with red ribbons. A small stage was built at the main entrance of the building, just at the same level as the steps in front of the door. When Xia Ruofei and the others arrived, the speakers were playing music to warm up the scene.
Xia Ruofei had already seen Feng Jing on the bus. She was holding a walkie-talkie and hurriedly arranging the final work.
The employees on the bus also stretched their necks and looked at the building where they would work in the future with a trace of excitement.
The east side of the building was the parking area for the ceremony. Several security department veterans were responsible for maintaining order.
It was still early, and most of the guests had not arrived yet. There were very few cars in the parking area.
The security department veterans skillfully directed several cars to the innermost part of the parking area and arranged them neatly.
After the bus stopped, Dong Yun was the first to jump off the bus. She held a loudspeaker and said loudly, "Everyone, put your belongings on the bus first. Now get off the bus and line up. Then, go to the designated seats in the square! The directors and supervisors of each department are responsible for gathering your people. When you arrive at the square, listen to the on-site staff! "
Everyone quickly got off the bus and lined up. Dong Yun gave a few more requirements, mainly emphasizing the order of the venue, including the silencing of mobile phones, no walking around, no whispering, and so on.
After that, Dong Yun led everyone to the small square in front of the building.
Xia Ruofei also followed behind the line and walked to the small square.
Feng Jing saw the large group from afar and also came up with a walkie-talkie.
Xia Ruofei left the line and walked over to ask, "Manager Feng, is everything ready?"
Feng Jing said, "Basically, it's all arranged. We just need to pay attention to the timing at the end. But it's not a big problem. The guests' speeches will be at the beginning, and the chairman's speech will be at the end. It can be long or short. The main thing is to take into account the time we set for the unveiling. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "En! That's good! Everyone has worked hard … "
Feng Jing smiled and said, "Chairman, there's still one or two hours before the ceremony begins! You go upstairs to the office and rest for a while! It's almost time, I'll ask Liu Qian! "
Xia Ruofei said, "I'll take a look at the scene first!"
Feng Jing nodded and walked side by side with Xia Ruofei toward the small stage in front of the building.
As she walked, she introduced the main procedures of the ceremony to Xia Ruofei. "Chairman, at the beginning of the ceremony, there will be a lion dance performance. Following that, there will be a five-minute video clip. It will mainly introduce the achievements of Taoyuan Company. After that, there will be a speech from the guest representatives. After that, there will be your speech. Finally, there will be the unveiling ceremony. The entire process will be controlled to forty minutes to an hour …"
Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly, "Have you decided on the guest speaker? You have to let them know in advance! Once those leaders go on stage, the time will be out of our control. Many people say that they don't even need to read their speeches for an hour! "
Xia Ruofei wasn't exaggerating. Those who could become leaders these days, which one of them wasn't "battle-hardened"? They had participated in countless meetings and ceremonies since they became politicians. If they didn't have a time limit to give a speech, it wouldn't be a problem for them to speak for half a day.
Feng Jing pursed her lips into a smile and said, "We've mainly invited the leaders of Zhonglou District, the city's Bureau of Commerce, as well as some leaders from the industry and commerce, taxation, banking, and other departments. Now, Zhonglou District has clearly replied that Vice Mayor Hong, who is in charge of commerce, will be participating. He should be the most influential leader this time, and the guest speaker we've decided on will be him. We've already discussed this with the district government in advance, including the time of the speech.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "When Vice Mayor Hong arrives in a while, you can mention it to him tactfully. Don't make any mistakes in this segment. If we miss the auspicious time, we will suffer a big loss."
Xia Ruofei specially invited the famous Uncle Xu to set the auspicious day and time. For this, he also sent a valuable gift. Although this was a reciprocal gift, after all, he paid a big price. Even if he didn't particularly care about the auspicious time and auspicious day, it didn't mean that he was completely indifferent to it. It was naturally best to ensure that the ceremony would be unveiled on time at 11: 23.
"Don't worry! I will. "Feng Jing said.
Then, Xia Ruofei looked around the scene again. He saw that Feng Jing had indeed arranged everything well, and he couldn't help much here. On the contrary, because he was here, Feng Jing had to accompany him. It was easy to delay things.
Therefore, after Xia Ruofei walked around, he said, "Sister Jing, then I will go to the office first. You have to keep in touch with the guests at all times. When the important guests are about to arrive, inform me to come downstairs to greet them. Don't be rude."
"Okay." Feng Jing said, "You can rest assured! I have arranged for a person to contact each guest. Their itinerary is under control. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said thank you to Feng Jing. Then, he stepped into the building and took the elevator to his big office on the top floor.
The space here was much bigger than the office in Taoyuan Farm. Xia Ruofei even felt a little uncomfortable.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the situation in the small square for a while. Then, he returned to the spacious reception area. A full set of tea sets had been prepared. He took out a small bag of Dahongpao tea from the space and began to leisurely make tea.
The fragrance of the tea overflowed. Xia Ruofei tasted the tea for the first time. The fragrance lingered in his mouth. Then, he leaned on the soft sofa and prepared to close his eyes to rest.
At this moment, Xia Qing in the space suddenly took the initiative to contact him with Divine Thoughts. "Master, the Heart Congealing Grass has matured again!"
Xia Ruofei suddenly became energetic. He sat up straight and asked with Divine Thoughts, "Oh? How many Spirit Crystals did you use this time? "
"Almost all five Spirit Crystals have been used …" Xia Qing said. Then, he explained, "Master, the Spirit Crystals used this time are slightly more than last time. The main reason is that after the Heart Congealing Grass was harvested, it grew naturally on Lingtu Island in the Realm Heart for a period of time. In fact, it has recovered a little. But this time, the next round of cultivation will be carried out immediately after harvesting, so …"
Xia Ruofei said, "It's fine! So many Spirit Crystals have been used. It doesn't matter if it's half a Spirit Crystal or not! "
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Xia Qing, harvest the Heart Congealing Grass now and start brewing the medicine immediately!"
Xia Ruofei was very anxious about Ling Qingxue's cultivation. He planned to give Ling Qingxue the second dose of medicine after he finished his business here.
In any case, the medicine would not go bad after being brewed in the Ring-Tu space. He would let Xia Qing prepare it in advance so that he could directly use it when the time came.
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing said.
Then, Xia Qing asked, "Master, this Heart Congealing Grass … should we transplant it to Lingtu Island? In the Origin Realm, it consumes Spirit Qi very quickly. Even if we remove the Time Array Flags, we might need to continuously use Spirit Crystals to replenish it … but Lingtu Island … only you can go up there … "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "Transplant it to the Mountain Sea Realm first! Without the thirty times faster flow of time, its Spirit Qi absorption speed will be much slower. We won't need to provide additional Spirit Qi for it to absorb. "
In fact, if it wasn't to speed up the maturation of the Heart Congealing Grass, the best choice would naturally be to plant it in Lingtu Island's herb garden.
Although they were both in the Mountain Sea Realm, Lingtu Island's herb garden was most suitable for the growth of spirit herbs. However, Xia Ruofei couldn't leave now. He also didn't want to take the risk of entering the Ring-Tu space in this relatively unfamiliar environment. Therefore, he could only compromise.
When he found an opportunity to enter the Ring-Tu space, he would transplant the Heart Congealing Grass into the herb garden. Although transplanting it multiple times might cause some damage to the Heart Congealing Grass, this type of spirit herb's vitality was still very strong. As long as its foundation wasn't damaged, it could recover with some time.
Xia Qing said, "I understand, Master! Then I'll transplant it to the Mountain Sea Realm first. Then, I'll start brewing the medicine! "
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work! "Xia Ruofei said.
Then, Xia Ruofei reminded Xia Qing to be careful during the transplant. He had to do his best to protect the roots of the Heart Congealing Grass.
Just as he finished talking with Xia Qing, Feng Jing's call came in.
Xia Ruofei's heart skipped a beat when Feng Jing called at this time. Did something happen?
He quickly picked up the phone. "Sister Jing, did something happen?"
Feng Jing said, "Ruofei, the government just informed us that Vice Mayor Ni, who is in charge of urban construction and commerce, will be coming to attend our opening ceremony. Moreover, he has already left the city hall. Do you think … you should come down in advance and personally welcome Vice Mayor Ni when he comes …"
Xia Ruofei was stunned. He knew that when the Taoyuan Company moved its headquarters, they didn't invite guests everywhere with great fanfare. They mainly invited some of the city's bureau leaders, bank leaders, and district leaders who were related to the company's business. They didn't invite the city's municipal government.
Vice Mayor Ni came uninvited, which surprised him a little.
Of course, the Taoyuan Company's development was obvious to all, and its valuation was almost two billion yuan. It was also a well-known private enterprise in the three mountains. It wasn't unusual for a city leader to attend the ceremony.
Xia Ruofei's brain quickly turned, and he basically figured out the reason.
During the last change of government, he glanced at Vice Mayor Ni's resume. With his memory, he naturally remembered all the information.
Vice Mayor Ni wasn't a newly promoted city leader. He was already a Vice Mayor in the previous municipal government, but his ranking was relatively low. He was mainly in charge of science, education, culture, and health, and didn't have much authority.
Not long after Song Qiming took office in the three mountains, the municipal government adjusted the division of labor of Vice Mayor Ni. Vice Mayor Ni's area of responsibility became the hot urban construction and commerce. Not long after, he entered the municipal government's standing committee. He was the only standing committee member in the government, aside from the mayor and executive vice mayor.
Although the adjustment of the area of responsibility was a matter of the government, Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that it had nothing to do with Song Qiming, the head of the municipal government. What's more, Vice Mayor Ni quickly became a permanent member.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xia Ruofei wasn't particularly surprised that Vice Mayor Ni came uninvited.
He said, "I know, Sister Jing. I'll be right down!"
Xia Ruofei thought about it and said, "By the way, Sister Jing, you'd better inform the district government that Vice Mayor Ni is coming. We have to inform them in advance …"
Feng Jing said, "Okay! I'll call them right away! "
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei took the elevator to the first floor.
After Feng Jing came up to him, she said with a smile, "Ruofei, you're the one with the foresight …"
Xia Ruofei was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Jing said, "I heard that Vice Mayor Ni is coming in person. The district government is in a mess. Then, the district office quickly contacted me and said that Secretary Chen of the district committee had decided to attend our ceremony at the last minute, and he left immediately! I heard that he was going to do some research, but he changed his schedule at the last minute! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Isn't that normal? A municipal government's standing committee member is coming in person. Isn't it too careless for the district government to send a Vice Mayor? That's why I said that we have to inform them as soon as possible! Otherwise, they will definitely blame us! "
Feng Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Also, the district government has made it clear that Vice Mayor Hong's speech will be canceled …"
"Vice Mayor Hong wouldn't dare to go up on stage to give a speech if Vice Mayor Ni is coming." Xia Ruofei said, "Contact Vice Mayor Ni's secretary immediately and ask if the leader can go up on stage to say a few words. If he refuses, we will contact the district government!"
"Okay!" Feng Jing said.
Xia Ruofei muttered to himself, "What the hell is this! Why didn't he tell us in advance that he was coming? Isn't he causing trouble for us? How many arrangements have to be changed? Also, the seating arrangement, our staff has to print out the seating plates … I don't know how much trouble he'll cause us! "
Feng Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Chairman, you can just say that here! If you say that in front of those bosses, you'll attract hatred! "
A municipal government's leader is coming in person, and you're still so proud and unhappy. Isn't this showing off? Although Xia Ruofei didn't really think that it was a big honor, the key was that others didn't think so!
In fact, Vice Mayor Ni's sudden arrival really caused a series of chain reactions.
