Morning.
At the plaza in front of the park.
Many people were gathered outside the plaza.
Dong Xuebing was awkwardly hugged by Zhang Longjuan, who was walking towards him. His right hand, which was about to shake Zhang Longjuan's hand, almost hit Zhang Longjuan's stomach. Dong Xuebing had no choice but to return the favor. He cleared his throat and hugged Zhang Longjuan's back. His hand patted Zhang Longjuan's blazer, and he could feel the back button of her bra. It was very thin, and the straps were not wide. It smelled like sexy lingerie, and Dong Xuebing was embarrassed.
This Sister Zhang had brought so many people here without telling Dong Xuebing. Now, she came over and hugged Dong Xuebing all of a sudden. Dong Xuebing was caught off guard.
"Haha … do you miss me?"
"Sister Zhang … err … there are still people here."
"What's wrong? It's polite to hug in Fu Zhou."
"Why didn't you tell me before you came over?"
"Why didn't I call you? Didn't your Sister Zhang call you? "
"But you didn't tell me to bring so many people. I am not prepared."
"Haha … didn't I say I am going to give you a surprise? Are you satisfied?"
"How can I not be satisfied? If I knew you had brought so many businessmen here, I will not be able to sleep for the next few days. I had been looking forward to it."
"Haha … as long as you are happy."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang. You have helped me a lot this time."
"You have always been the one helping me, and it's rare for me to help you. Don't thank me. We don't need to be so polite with each other."
"Alright. I will not stand on ceremony with you. Haha …"
"Haha … you should be polite with me. The day you called me, I started to contact people everywhere. You should at least give me a reward. Huh? "
"Huh? What reward?"
"Let's talk about it later. Let's settle the situation first."
"Ok … it's not convenient to talk here. Let's stop hugging."
Although Dong Xuebing was grumbling about her sudden attack, he was overjoyed in his heart. He could feel his eyes were shining when he saw so many bosses and shareholders of big companies. After chatting with Sister Zhang, he forgot the time and realized they had hugged for half a minute in front of so many people. Dong Xuebing, who had always been shameless, felt embarrassed.
Zhang Longjuan did not feel anything and let go of Dong Xuebing with a smile. "Mayor Dong … Haha … let me introduce you."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing followed her.
Zhang Longjuan points to someone. "This is Anna, of my younger sister. Her family's company has lots of business with me, and her father is my old friend."
Dong Xuebing looked at her. Although she is the youngest among the group, she is much older than Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing shook her hand. "Nice to meet you." She said in English.
That's why he shook hands with her. "Nice to meet you." She said in English.
Zhang Longjuan continued to introduce. "This is Raynor, a business partner of mine. He was also the first friend I met in Fu Zhou. He's a very nice person, but his accent is too strong. Ha, sometimes I can't understand what he's saying."
Dong Xuebing and Raynor also shook hands.
Raynor, who is 1.9 meters tall, smiled and gave Dong Xuebing a hug.
To others, this hug is the same as Zhang Longjuan hugging Mayor Dong. The crowd did not think it was inappropriate. After all, Zhang Longjuan is an investor from M Country and had lived there for many years. His habits should be there. In China, it might be different, but over there, hugging is normal. It's just like shaking hands. Also, everyone could tell Zhang Longjuan and Mayor Dong had known each other for a long time. It's normal for two old friends to hug and greet each other when they meet. Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan were speaking softly, and no one could hear them. They could only see them chatting and smiling, and everyone thought they were greeting each other.
That's why no one cares.
Compared to this hug, everyone is more concerned about the investment.
When everyone saw Zhang Longjuan and Dong Xuebing getting to know each other, they started discussing.
"So, they are invited by Zhen Shui County."
"How come we didn't get any news about this beforehand?"
"Zhen Shui County is too secretive! I was wondering why they are so slow! "
"Something's not right. From Mayor Dong's expression, he doesn't seem to know about this."
"I also saw it. He is quite surprised. I think he also did not expect this."
"What's going on? They don't even know about this, and they managed to get so many foreign investors? Also, they are all big conglomerates worth a few hundred million or even a few billion. "
"This pie is too big."
"Then do we still have a chance?"
"Fine. We had worked hard for nothing."
"Not necessarily. Zhang Longjuan's relationship with Zhen Shui County might not be as good as it looks. The key is if this project can attract them."
"That's right. No matter how close they are, business is still business."
"That's right. Zhen Shui County is a run-down place, and there is no way they can keep such a big piece of meat."
Zhen Shui County had angered many people and was ostracized by the City Government and other districts' Investment Promotion Agencies. Now, many people are jealous of Zhen Shui County. But even though Zhen Shui County had the upper hand, everyone still felt their County will not be able to keep these foreign investors. Zhang Longjuan and the rest of the investors will be diverted away from Zhen Shui County, and Zhen Shui County will be theirs. Thinking of this, everyone's jealousy subsided. Many people are looking forward to this project and start planning their bids.
The arrival of Zhang Longjuan's team had changed many things.
The scene of Zhang Longjuan and Dong Xuebing hugging each other changed many things.
Even Deputy Mayor Hua Lihua and Lv Weiguo looked at each other in shock. Their attitude towards Dong Xuebing was not as harsh as before.
After the introductions, Dong Xuebing returned.
"Mayor Dong." Hua Li greeted him.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Mayor Hua."
Hua Li replied gently. "This is an important matter. Why didn't you report to me earlier?"
Dong Xuebing had also noticed Hua Li's change in attitude. But he knows this is not because of Dong Xuebing's achievements. It is because Zhang Longjuan and the investors are watching. If they continue to give Dong Xuebing a hard time, they will be foolish. So, Dong Xuebing replied. "I only know about this. I had only invited Zhang Longjuan, and I don't know the rest. But she is very busy, and I am not sure about the timing. I wanted to book a plane ticket to her, but she rejected me. In the end, I heard there is a group of foreign investors coming, and I did not expect so many people to come. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the airport to fetch them.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the airport to fetch them. Why would I not inform the City Government? "Hua Li nodded." That's right. I also guessed that you do not know about this. It's fine. It's fine as long as they are here. Your Zhen Shui County's invitation is very important.
It is our City's honor to be able to invite Zhang Longjuan and so many shareholders and investors of multinational companies. "Lv Weiguo opened his mouth and wanted to praise Zhen Shui County's achievements.
But he did not say it out loud. The rest of the investors looked at Dong Xuebing with a complicated look.
The City's Investment Promotion Officer, who had quarreled with them before, felt unlucky.
No one would have thought that Zhen Shui County would be able to turn things around and be so lucky.
But Dong Xuebing snorted at Hua Li and the rest's praises. He and Lv Weiguo were not welcome. Oh, before Sister Zhang came, before the group of investors arrived, you all had been messing with our Zhen Shui County. You all gave us the worst booth and did not give us the best rooms. You all still want to take away our booth rights? You all had never treated us nicely! Now, you all know Sister Zhang is invited by our Zhen Shui County, and I know Sister Zhang. Oh, all of you changed your attitude?
What a joke!
What were you all doing earlier?!
I'll remember all those debts for you!
Narrow-Minded? Dong Xuebing had always been narrow-minded towards people like them.
Lv Weiguo looked at Dong Xuebing and finally said. "Mayor Dong, you are the one who invited Manager Zhang. You should have heard what they said earlier. The site visit team does not want anyone to accompany them and want to go on their own. Also, no one will introduce this project to them. Can you tell Manager Zhang and the rest about this? Our City's Investment Promotion Agency will send some people along with them. It will also make it easier for them to do their research. "
Zhang Longjuan had come with a large group of people. Dong Xuebing had regained his confidence. He was completely disappointed with the City Government, and he does not even care about the cancellation of his booth. He grumbled for a while. "Err … I am not a man of my words."
Hua Li said: "You are very close to Manager Zhang, and she will surely consider your suggestion. Most importantly, we also want to provide better services to those investors."
Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. "I had only known Manager Zhang for a short time, and it had taken me a lot of effort to get her to join us. She will not listen to me, and if I ask too much, she will not like me, right? I think we should listen to the investors' opinions. "
Hua Li's face changed when he saw Dong Xuebing did not listen to him.
Lv Weiguo was the same. If you don't even say anything, how do you know they will not agree?
Of course, Dong Xuebing did not care. Let your people tag along? Bullshit! What are you all thinking?!
