Noon.
Around 12 pm.
A small banquet hall on the fifth floor of the hotel.
Dong Xuebing put down his chopsticks. It's been a while since he had eaten so much. He leaned back on his chair and smoked.
Ring … ring … ring …
Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Mayor Dong, I'm Changjuan."
"Sister Chang, what's wrong? Is your luggage ready? "
"It's almost ready, but your luggage …"
"My room is empty. All the rooms are reserved for the investors."
"Alright. Xiao Gong and I will help you bring your clothes downstairs."
"Alright. I had finished my lunch here, and I will go upstairs to look for you. Wait for me."
"Alright. Xiao Gong said it's not good to touch your luggage and doesn't know where to put it. I thought she is right and called you."
"I will go upstairs to pack."
"We will wait for you in the Presidential suite."
"You haven't eaten? I will bring some food with me. "
"No need. Haha … we will just have something to eat later."
"That won't do. It's already been hard on you two women to carry luggage at noon. Alright, don't worry about it. Wait for me for ten minutes."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing noticed the Party Secretary and Mayor had not arrived yet. He walked over to Hua Li. He is not giving Hua Li face. He is giving the investors some respect. If he wants to leave, he should at least inform them. "Mayor Hua, investors, I have something to attend to upstairs, and I need to leave first. I'm sorry, but I need to settle some issues in my room."
Hua Li asked. "Is the Presidential suite ready?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Almost."
Hua Li asked. "Are there enough rooms?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "The suites cannot be used. A Presidential suite can only accommodate two people, and six suites can accommodate twelve people. But the investors have thirteen people, and we might need one more person … there are only six Presidential suites in the hotel? It's hard to arrange. " These businessmen are all influential businessmen, and they cannot let them stay in the guest rooms. It's not about whether they can sleep in the guest rooms or not. It's about respect. Also, they had announced that they had prepared a Presidential suite. But what about the extra person? They cannot let him stay downstairs. Even the executive suite's luxurious room is not as luxurious as the Presidential suite.
Hua Li also pondered.
Zhang Longjuan heard it and laughed without thinking. "What's so hard about that? Let my friends stay in the presidential suite, and I'll stay in the business suite."
Lv Weiguo hurriedly said, "How can we do that?"
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's leave it at that."
Hua Li looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded to let him make the arrangements. CEO Zhang's words also made many people more aware of this woman's ability. No wonder she was able to accumulate such a large fortune at such a young age. It could be seen from her team leadership ability and attitude.
…
Outside.
Dong Xuebing left the banquet hall.
At this time, a few waiters came over with dishes.
Dong Xuebing glanced at them and immediately stopped them. "Don't send these dishes in. Make another set or send them to the other dishes. I will be taking them away."
"Ah? Take it away? "The two waitresses looked at him in astonishment.
Dong Xuebing snatched the plates from her. "That's it."
The waitresses almost fainted. Who is this person? How can he snatch our dishes? Everyone in the banquet hall is the City's leaders and investors, and the Party Secretary and Mayor will be coming later. This …
"Don't!"
"What are you doing?!"
The two waitresses panicked.
The few staff from the City Investment Promotion Agency, who were guarding the banquet hall, wiped their sweat and quickly stepped forward. "You all can ask the kitchen to make more dishes."
"Sorry." Dong Xuebing left with the dishes.
The waitress stamped her feet. "This … how can you do this?"
The staff from the City Investment Promotion Agency replied. "Err … that is Mayor Dong."
Huh? Mayor? The two waiters immediately fell silent.
If Dong Xuebing dared to snatch the dishes a few hours ago, the staff from the City Investment Promotion Agency will not agree. But it is different now. This banquet is held because of Dong Xuebing. All the foreign investors are here because of him, and they can't say anything about Dong Xuebing snatching two dishes. But in their hearts, they felt this Zhen Shui County's Executive Deputy Mayor is too unreasonable. Dong Xuebing can afford a 4 million RMB Land Rover and even spent 500,000 RMB on the Presidential suite. Do you think these two or three dishes are a problem? It doesn't take long to order a set of dishes, but Dong Xuebing had to snatch the dishes when the City's leaders are having their meal!
This is ridiculous!
I have never seen a government official like him!
… …
Top floor.
The elevator opened with a ding.
Dong Xuebing walked out and saw the few Presidential suites across the corridor were open, and the hotel staff were cleaning inside. Only the room he stayed in yesterday is closed. Dong Xuebing carried the dishes with both hands, but he can't move his hands. He could only kick the door open.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
"Hey, I'm coming!"
When the door opened, Gong Na's little face appeared.
Dong Xuebing smiled and entered the room. "Where is Chief Chang?"
Gong Na quickly replied. "Sister Chang is in the kitchen heating up the leftover rice from yesterday. We are preparing to cook two dishes."
"Didn't I say you don't need to worry about me? I had brought the dishes. Are you all hungry? Let's eat. "Dong Xuebing placed the dishes on the dining table.
Changjuan also came out. "Oh, why did you bring the dishes here? Can't you just ask the waiters to bring the dishes?"
Dong Xuebing smiled. "It's nothing. Sister Chang, eat while it's hot."
Gong Na volunteered. "I will go get the dishes. Mayor Dong, how much do you want to eat? Can I have one bowl? "
"Don't worry about me. I had just finished eating with the staff, and I am very full. You all can carry on with your meals." Dong Xuebing sat down at the dining table.
Changjuan asked. "They are all in the banquet hall?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Yes. The Party Secretary and the Mayor will be coming later, and they should be having dinner until late. We are not in a hurry to clear the dishes. You all can eat first."
"Soft fried prawns? I like to eat this. "
"The squirrel mandarin fish should taste good too. Try it."
Gong Na came back with rice and started eating with Chang Juan. The two of them had been busy the whole morning, tidying up the house and moving boxes. Zheng Dayou and Chen Yunsong's luggage must have been packed and moved by the two of them. Obviously, they were starving and ate happily. Although Dong Xuebing said he does not want to eat, Gong Na still gave him a pair of chopsticks and an empty bowl out of politeness. Dong Xuebing also ate some of the squirrel mandarin fish.
"Where is our room?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Changjuan looked up. "It's still the fourth floor. Those are the old rooms."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Have you placed all the luggage there?"
Chang Juan replied. "Yes, and I had asked the staff to take the luggage downstairs. Only your luggage is left."
"Alright. I will pack up later, and you all don't need to worry about it. After dinner, Sister Chang, contact Director Cheng and the rest. Ask our Investment Promotion Agency to get ready. The County Government had also sent more people to help us. Ask Cheng Yujie, Xiao Hong, and the rest to work overtime. We must finish those projects before we arrive. Even if it is just to save face, we must do it well."
Chang Juan replied. "Alright. I will contact her."
Dong Xuebing looks at Gong Na. "Xiao Gong, go back to the venue in the afternoon and tell Old Zheng to return to Zhen Shui County to set up the arrangements. I will not be at ease without an old comrade."
Gong Na quickly swallowed her food. "Yes, Mayor Dong."
Sister Chang, after I leave tomorrow, you will be in charge of the investment fair with Xiao Chen and Xiao Gong. If you are short of manpower, contact me, and I will transfer Xiao Xiao over to help you. Although the situation is favorable to us now, we cannot afford to let our guard down. I have brought the people here, but I don't know if they will invest in us. Scouting and investing are two different things. What we need is not for these people to go through the motions but to implement the project. Only when they sign the letter of intent and settle the contract can it be considered a success. So, as I said, we must win this investment fair! "
Just like what Dong Xuebing had said, he can only guarantee Sister Zhang will invest, but he can't guarantee other investors will invest. That's why he must put in more effort. Sister Zhang had given him this opportunity, and he must make good use of it. Today is the only day he can relax. Tomorrow will be the day of the battle!
After assigning the tasks, Dong Xuebing packed his luggage downstairs.
… …
During this time, there was a small incident in the banquet hall.
"Mayor Hua, Party Secretary and the Mayor will be here in ten minutes." A staff entered the banquet hall to report.
Hua Li nodded and saw a waitress entering with the dishes. He asked. "Are all the dishes here? How many dishes are left? "
The waitress quickly replied. "We still need a few bowls of soup."
Hua Li nodded and frowned. "Only a few bowls of soup? Where are the fried prawns and squirrel mandarin fish? Aren't those your signature dishes? How come I don't see them? " Dong Xuebing had recommended the hotel's signature dishes to Manager Zhang and the rest earlier. He wants the investors to try them, but he did not see any.
The waitress paused for a second.
Hua Li asked. "What's wrong?"
The waitress wiped her sweat and said. "Three dishes had been served earlier, but … but Mayor Dong took them away when he went out. The kitchen is preparing them now and will be here soon."
Mayor Dong?
He took the dishes away?!
Hua Li: "…"
Lv Weiguo: "…"
The other Counties' Investment Promotion Agency chiefs: "…"
A deep sense of helplessness immediately surged into the hearts of many people!
You dare to steal from the City Government?! You even dare to take the dishes from the Mayor, Party Secretary, and businessmen's banquet?!
Everyone was speechless!
Only Zhang Longjuan was amused by his words!
