It's 9 pm.
The sun is high in the sky.
The plaza in front of the city's park is warm, and the weather is good.
"There are only a few minutes left!"
"Hurry up! Give me the project list! "
"Get them to print out the English version!"
"Where are the university graduates from our unit? Why are they not here yet? "
"Be alert later. The district had given the order to keep them here!"
"Show your best attitude. This is not an ordinary mission, and we need to be on our best behavior. If we make any mistakes, we will hold them accountable!"
"Yes, Chief Ma."
"Hurry up! Get moving!"
"The foreign companies' information will be sent over before noon."
"Alright. Once the information is here, we must study it and find the right solution."
"Yes, Chief Chen."
"We will complete this mission."
"What are you waiting for? Stop waiting. Those who know English, get ready."
The investment fair is noisy, and it is filled with the shouts of the leaders of the various counties and districts and the busy voices of their subordinates. It is not quiet in the City. Hua Li, as the Deputy Mayor, will not be attending the investment fair. But this time, he is the first to sit in a temporary shed beside the podium. Lv Weiguo is making phone calls at the side, and no one knows what he is talking to. Many people are running into the park. Some of them are temporary staff, and some are Investment Promotion staff who are fluent in English. All of them rushed over to the park, and the atmosphere is very tense.
But Zhen Shui District?
They are the complete opposite.
"Chief Chang."
"What's wrong, Xiao Gong?"
"Can you lend me your mirror? I forgot to bring it. "
"Haha … of course. I have brought two mirrors with me. You can have this."
"Mayor Dong, we are almost done. We are just waiting for the investors to arrive."
"Alright, then let's all take a break. Come, Lao Zheng, have a smoke."
"Smoke mine."
"Alright. I had taken out my cigarettes. Xiao Chen, do you want one?"
"Ok. Thank you, Mayor Dong."
Chang Juan crossed her legs to touch up her makeup, and Gong Na is fixing her hair in front of the mirror. Both of them are discussing the difficulties of the morning aerobics exercises. Dong Xuebing, Zheng Dayou, and Chen Yunsong are smoking outside the booth and chatting about the breakfast they had at the hotel. The investors are not here yet, and it's fine to relax for a while.
The contrast was too great.
In the midst of the bustling plaza, Zhen Shui County's calmness stood out.
Deputy Mayor Hua Li noticed this and looked at Dong Xuebing and the rest with a straight face.
Lv Weiguo hung up the phone and took a sip of water. He noticed the situation in Zhen Shui County and frowned. He and Deputy Mayor Hua had instructed everyone to get ready for this mission. Who knew that Zhen Shui County didn't take it seriously? They were even chatting and smoking casually. Like leader, like soldiers. How could they not be motivated at all? What kind of people are they?!
"Mayor Hua." Lv Weiguo walked over.
Hua Li looked at Zhen Shui County and asked. "What's wrong, Old Lui?"
Lv Weiguo replied angrily. "What is Zhen Shui County doing? They don't know how to look at the big picture."
Hua Li waved his hand. "Let the other Counties' Investment Promotion Agencies prepare. I will inform the higher-ups to cancel Zhen Shui County's booth if necessary!"
Lv Weiguo nodded and did not say anything.
Cancelling the exhibition booth was already the most severe measure. Normally, this measure would only be taken when the county had committed a serious mistake. It was within the scope of Hua Li and Lv Weiguo's authority. However, the problem now was that Zhen Shui County had not committed a mistake. Ordering a presidential suite? That is Dong Xuebing's money! Not doing well in the Investment Promotion Agency? Let's not talk about Lv Weiguo's interference and Hua Li had arranged the worst booth for them. It's not a mistake for them to not get any investors. Zhen Shui County is also free now. That's because they had settled everything, and the investors are not here yet. So, it's fine for them to chat and smoke. Yesterday, many Counties' Investment Promotion Agencies did the same thing, but Hua Li and Lv Weiguo did not say anything. But when it comes to Zhen Shui County, Hua Li and Lv Weiguo are considering the harshest punishment. Zhen Shui County's booth will be cancelled!
The people from the other Counties were shocked by Zhen Shui County's free time.
After a while, a City's Investment Promotion Agency's leader walked over. It was the person who had argued with Chang Juan yesterday. He stepped forward and started scolding the people from Zhen Shui County. "The investors will be arriving soon. What are you all doing? Why are you all not preparing? If you all continue to be like this! The City has the right to cancel your booth! There is no place for you all in the City's Investment Promotion Agency! You all better think carefully! " He was beside Hua Li and Lv Weiguo when they were talking, and he had overheard their conversation.
"What?"
"Cancel the booth?"
Zheng Dayou, Chen Yunsong, and the rest were stunned. After that, they got angry.
They had been suppressed for too long. From the moment they arrived at the investment fair, they were bullied by the City Government. Once, twice, thrice. But this is not the end. It seems like everyone in the City is going against Zhen Shui County for no reason. They just don't like Zhen Shui County!
Chang Juan stared at that person. "Why?!"
Zheng Dayou was also furious. "We had prepared everything! What's with our attitude? What's wrong with our attitude? We are ready to play, and you still don't want us to take a break? Today's investment fair is not open yet! The investors are not here yet! We are free to do what we want! "
That City's Investment Promotion Officer sneered. "You all are not working hard, and you all think you all are in the right?"
Zheng Dayou's temper is not bad. After all, Zhen Shui County's Investment Promotion Agency's performance had always been last and second to last. But after Dong Xuebing took over the Investment Promotion Agency and attended the investment fair with him, his temper had changed. He immediately retorted. "Fine! Show us which part of our work is not working hard!"
That Officer stared at him coldly. "You all can put on makeup! Those who smoke, smoke! You call this working hard?! "
Zheng Dayou replied. "We are ready! What do you think we should do? Pretend to be busy? Pretend to be busy? What's the use?! Smoke?! Take a look around yourself. There are at least ten people smoking, if not tens of them! Some of your Investment Promotion Agency's staff are also smoking. Look at that person, and look at that person. He is from your Agency, right? Why is it fine for them to smoke, and we will be punished for smoking?! "
Chang Juan replied. "What's wrong with makeup? Makeup is also for work, and the Investment Promotion Agency has a rule that is different from other agencies. Facial features must be presentable. Why? This is to leave a good impression on the investors and not let them get sick of us. Makeup is also the same. We are not doing this because we want to look good. We are doing this for work, and it is a form of respect to the investors! How come you are saying makeup is not working?! I saw you smoothing your hair earlier, and that is also makeup. Why don't you say you are doing it yourself?! "
That Officer cannot win against Chang Juan and shouted angrily. "Nonsense!"
Chang Juan retorted. "Which one of us is nonsense?! Ah?! Now that I'm ignoring you, you're getting excited. Are you addicted to finding trouble with me? "
That Officer replied angrily. "Who is provoking us?!"
"Haha! It's not me! "Chang Juan replied.
If yesterday's incident in the hotel corridor was considered a debate, then today's situation was clearly a quarrel. The few of them immediately started arguing. In the past, Dong Xuebing will be the one to handle the arguments. But after Chang Juan joined, Dong Xuebing has a powerful ally and does not need to do it himself.
That Officer is outnumbered and can't win against them.
In the end, Dong Xuebing looked at that Officer and said. "You all can cancel our booth, but you all must list out the serious mistakes we have made and report to the higher-ups. If the higher-ups approve of our booth, we will pack up and leave. Now, the higher-ups have not approved our booth, and don't try to scare us with this excuse. Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, we will still be busy, and we will not entertain you. "
The people at the nearby booths all heard it and looked at them a few times. However, they were still busy with their own things, so they didn't have the time to care about others. They just talked to each other.
"Where did this Mayor Dong come from?"
"You're too blunt with your words. You're a little rude."
"How can he speak so rudely to the City's Investment Promotion Agency's staff?"
"They are asking for trouble. This is the City's investment fair, and if they don't build a good relationship with the City's Investment Promotion Agency, they might not even get a single investment."
"That's right. He just needs to sway his words."
"Zhen Shui County is going to suffer this time."
"We can't get a single cent back. Let's see how they are going to answer to the County."
Due to the fact that Zhen Shui County was staying in a presidential suite that was many times more expensive than all of them, the investment officials from other counties were hostile towards their county. The target of the conflict was also Zhen Shui County, so they were happy to see them make a fool of themselves.
Ring … ring … ring …
Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and ignored the City's Investment Promotion Agency's staff. He walked further away and answered the call. "Hello, Sister Zhang."
"Where are you?"
"I'm in our City. What about you? Why is your phone switched off when I called? "
"When I was flying? My phone should be switched off. "
"You are really on the plane? You are coming to our City? "
"Yes. I have arrived."
"Heh … why didn't you tell me earlier? I will arrange for a car to fetch you."
"No need. I had said I will give our handsome boy a surprise. Haha … wait for it."
