Night.
It's past 8 pm.
Dong Xuebing, Chang Juan, Chen Yunsong, and Gong Na are in the hotel's elevator to attend a banquet organized by the City's Investment Promotion Agency.
Fourth floor …
Fifth floor …
Sixth floor …
Chang Juan asked. "I heard you had slammed the table with Chief Lui?"
Chen Yunsong and Gong Na had also heard about it and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "What's there to slam the table? We had only argued for a while."
Chen Yunsong asked. "The City is too much to ask us to let those foreign investors go. Why should they do this?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "No matter what they do, we will not change our plan. We will gather at 8 am tomorrow and arrange for the cars. If the City refuses to lend us the cars, we will get them from Zhen Shui County. If we do not have enough cars, we will contact the rental company. I will bring the foreign investors back to Zhen Shui County, and the few of you will continue to hold the investment fair. The foreign investors' visit to Zhen Shui County had helped us a lot, and we must not let this opportunity slip by. I hope we can attract some smaller investors to invest here."
Gong Na blinked. "But what if the City …"
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "We will deal with it when it comes."
Chang Juan smiled. "That's right. We will not leave a single person for those foreign investors, and their first stop must be our County."
Dong Xuebing looked at them and suddenly said. "Let me say this first. This piece of cake will make everyone go crazy. There are many benefits involved, and there will be many things happening in the shadows. Some dirty tricks might be used against us. Everyone, be careful and be alert."
"Ok."
"We know."
Ding! The elevator door opened.
The few of them did not say anything else and walked out.
A staff from the City's Investment Promotion Agency is leading them to the entrance. But that staff looks at Dong Xuebing with disdain. After all, Dong Xuebing had fallen out with Lv Weiguo and the City's Investment Promotion Agency. That's why the staff will not treat Dong Xuebing nicely.
Banquet Hall.
The doors are wide open.
Dong Xuebing entered with his men and attracted everyone's attention. Before the dishes are served, Lv Weiguo and a few leaders from the City's Investment Promotion Agency had arrived. They are chatting with Chen Mingming and the rest at the main table. The rest are also chatting, but they are looking at Dong Xuebing and his men.
The atmosphere was strange.
No one went up to speak to Dong Xuebing. They should have heard about Dong Xuebing and Lv Weiguo's fight.
Dong Xuebing did not mind and continued walking in with his men to look for an empty spot. He did not say a word.
But to everyone's surprise, Lv Weiguo spoke to Dong Xuebing first. "Mayor Dong, have a seat here."
Hmm?
What about me?
Dong Xuebing was also puzzled. What is Lv Weiguo doing? Dong Xuebing does not think this Mr. Lui will be so magnanimous. He had just challenged him, and this Mr. Lui will still take it to heart. Impossible! This old girl was very narrow-minded! Dong Xuebing replied. "Chief Lui, it's fine. Your place is almost full, and I will sit with Old Chang, Xiao Chen, and the rest." After saying that, Dong Xuebing sat down at a table with no one else.
Seeing this, Chang Juan and the others followed suit.
Lv Weiguo did not mind and continued chatting with the others.
Not long after, almost everyone had arrived. All six tables were filled, and the dishes were served.
Lv Weiguo looked around and stood up. "Thank you all for your hard work today. Before lunch, I would like to say a few words. The number of foreign investors attending this investment fair is the highest in Meihe City's history, and the scale of the foreign companies is much larger than the previous years. During lunch, the Mayor had praised all the Investment Promotion Departments, especially the people from Zhen Shui County. The City Leaders had praised all of you for your hard work!"
Clap … clap … clap …
After saying that, Lv Weiguo started clapping.
The rest of the Investment Promotion Agency staff looked at each other and clapped.
Chen Yunsong and Gong Na looked at each other. They don't understand what Lv Weiguo is trying to do. Why did he not cause trouble for Zhen Shui County and even praised them? But everyone wants to be recognized for their work. Chen Yunsong and Gong Na felt smug when they saw everyone applauding them. Hmmm … although Dong Xuebing is the one who arranged this, and they did not do much.
Dong Xuebing placed his palms together and bowed to everyone.
The applause stopped.
Lv Weiguo laughed. "This lunch is approved by the City Government, and it is to reward all of you for your hard work over the past two days." Looking at his watch, he said, "It's half past eight. It's past working hours. The investors are basically resting, so there's no alcohol restriction today. Everyone, drink and eat as much as you want. Relax and prepare for tomorrow's and next week's investment work. Alright, let's eat."
At this time, many people were hungry. As soon as Lv Weiguo's voice fell, everyone began to eat. Some took food and some poured wine.
The wine is a local brand, and Dong Xuebing had never heard of it before.
He looks at the alcohol content. 52%. This is considered a high alcohol content.
Suddenly, Lv Weiguo poured a glass of wine and raised it to Dong Xuebing. "Come, Mayor Dong. I want to have a toast with all of you from Zhen Shui County."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Chief Lui, we are not good at drinking."
Lv Weiguo laughed. "Which one of us in the Investment Promotion Agency can't drink? I had even raised my glass. Are you not going to give me face? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I don't usually drink. If you really can't drink, let's stop."
Lv Weiguo didn't say anything. He raised his cup and gulped down all the wine in it.
Chen Yunsong saw this and also finished his glass. Chang Juan and Gong Na did not finish their glasses. They only took a sip.
Only Dong Xuebing was left, and everyone was looking at him. Dong Xuebing had no choice but to pour himself a glass of wine and drink it slowly. But he drank it slowly and finished it in half a minute.
After finishing his glass, Chen Mingming stood up and raised his glass. "Mayor Dong, your Zhen Shui County is in the limelight this time. Let me have a toast with you. Hahaha."
Huh?
Dong Xuebing noticed something was wrong.
What's the meaning of this? Taking turns? Is he trying to get me drunk?
Dong Xuebing was quick-witted. He immediately knew that Lv Weiguo was trying to get him to pay his respects. If Dong Xuebing was drunk, he might not be able to wake up the next morning. He might even be sent to the hospital for an IV drip. At that time, Dong Xuebing will not be able to contact Manager Zhang anymore. Lv Weiguo and the rest will be able to make use of this opportunity to get Manager Zhang to stay in the City tomorrow. At that time, Lv Weiguo and the rest will be able to make use of this opportunity to get Manager Zhang and the rest to stay in the City.
