Around 8 am.
The sun is rising.
It's like a wave in the sky.
The black Land Rover Range Rover is leading the way, and the tour bus is following closely behind. The convoy had left the city and even caught up with the three tour buses escorting the Chinese investors. Dong Xuebing is afraid the City Government and other districts will chase after them, and he asked Gong Na to bring her men to take a detour. He had contacted Zhang Longjuan and the rest of the businessmen to set off earlier, and they managed to catch up with Gong Na's tour bus on the outskirts of the city. Both teams met up.
Beep …
Beep … Beep …
Dong Xuebing honked.
Gong Na, who was in the tour bus in front, also noticed them. She looked out of the window and waved at Dong Xuebing's car. Dong Xuebing smiled and gave her an OK sign. He then pressed the window and gestured to the driver of the tour bus behind him. He pointed to the three tour buses in front, and the bus driver understood what he meant. He sped up and drove behind the three tour buses. The four tour buses lined up in a row, and Dong Xuebing saw there was no more space for him. He stepped on the accelerator and drove in front of the four tour buses to open a path for them. He even turned on the car's stereo.
A rock song started playing.
It was full of vigor and passion.
Dong Xuebing hummed along and looked at the tour buses in the rearview mirror. He is in a good mood. Hua Li, Lv Weiguo, Lv Weiguo, and all the people from the County's Investment Promotion Agency. I'm sorry.
One minute …
Two minutes …
Three minutes …
Dong Xuebing's phone rang suddenly.
He looked at the number and saw that it was from Deputy Mayor Hua Li.
Hua Li and the City's Investment Promotion Agency had called not long after they set off. But Dong Xuebing did not answer any of them as he is afraid of accidents. Now, they are out of the city and are about to reach Zhen Shui County. Dong Xuebing switched off the music and answered the call. Listening to the enemy's cries of defeat is a form of entertainment for Dong Xuebing.
"Hello, Mayor Hua?" Dong Xuebing asked while driving.
Hua Li's cold voice came from the other end, "Why did you only pick up the phone now!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Ah … I was busy just now, and you called me? I didn't hear you. Sorry, it's too messy here. "
Hua Li immediately asked, "Where are you now?"
Dong Xuebing looked at the road signs. This was Chenggang County's territory, but he replied calmly: "I have reached Zhen Shui County and had just entered the suburbs. I am driving towards the county town. What's wrong, Mayor Hua? What's the matter? Did something happen at the investment fair? "
Seeing that the other party was asking even though he already knew the answer, Hua Li was infuriated. "Come back here right now!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am already in the County. Is it urgent? "
Hua Li said angrily, "I told you to come back, so come back for me! Bring the investors back! "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "I thought what is it? Mayor Hua, why are you angry at me?"
Hua Li shouted, "Tell me, why am I angry with you? Huh? The investors from all the counties had already contacted them. Why did Zhen Shui County want to interfere? Ah? What are you all trying to do? Are you all rebelling? The City Government had emphasized the importance of this investment fair more than once! What is your Zhen Shui County trying to do?! You all are destroying the unity! Don't you all know the big picture?! I don't want to say anymore! Turn around and come back right now! I want to see all the investors in one hour! "
Dong Xuebing was also amused by him. How can I let go of this opportunity that I had gotten my hands on? Bullsh * t! "We can't go back now."
Hua Li asked. "Can you say that again?"
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "I can't go back no matter how many times I say it."
Hua Li was furious. "Fine! You all are not going to listen to the City Government's instructions? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Mayor Hua, don't accuse me. It's not that I am not going to listen to the City Government's instructions, but I feel your request is unreasonable. If you all want to argue with me, then I will argue with you. I also have to make things clear. I am not the one who wants to snatch the investors from the other counties. Where are the investors from the other counties? I don't know. If this carries on, all of them might leave anytime. Manager An and the rest had already expressed that they want to return home. I knew the situation is not right and could only help the rest of the Investment Promotion Agencies to explain to them. But we still need to settle this matter and cannot let the investors wait in the hotel. That's why I decided to let the investors come to Zhen Shui County to help the investors who are not there. Did I do anything wrong? "
Hua Li was still angry: "Why didn't you report to the city! Huh? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to report to the City Government. Furthermore, why didn't Chief Lui and the rest of the Investment Promotion Agencies report to the City Government? They are the ones who shirked their responsibilities first! I am puzzled! How come Chief Lui and the rest are fine after they left the investors behind, and I, who had tried my best to clean up their mess, got scolded? "
Hua Li heard this and replied. "I had already reprimanded them! I had also reported this to the City Government! All of them will be punished for this incident! "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I think your decision is wise. Leaving the investors behind is a bad move, but we will not go back now. Chief Lui and the rest had disappointed the investors, and everyone thought Chief Lui and the rest had ignored them after getting the investors. All of them are still angry, and if I bring the investors back now, it will be like adding fuel to the fire. Not only did I stand the investors up again, but I'm also 80% sure that the investors won't go to the district and county for inspection after I go back. This is tantamount to intensifying the conflict, so I have reservations about your decision! "
Hua Li shouted angrily. "Why did Old Lui and the rest not wake up in the morning? They are responsible for this incident! But it is because you forced them to drink last night! Am I right? "Dong Xuebing laughed.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Mayor Hua, what kind of logic is this? You can't be lying. There were so many people at the bar last night, and I don't believe everyone is blind. Even the waiters saw what happened. How can I force them to drink? From the beginning, I had made it clear that I didn't want to drink. It was Chief Lu and the others who forced me to drink. My subordinates had to drink for me several times, and I was on the verge of vomiting. I had no choice but to drink by myself. Even after drinking, I expressed that I didn't want to drink anymore. However, Chief Lu and the others ignored me and kept toasting me. What could I do? I can only give them face and drink with them. How come you are accusing me of forcing them to drink? Mayor Hua, I think anyone with a little bit of logic would know that 50 people are desperately drinking with me and toasting me cup after cup. Who is the one who is trying to get who drunk? Am I the one who forced 50 people to drink with me? Are you kidding me?! They are willing to drink! I also did not point a gun at their heads to force them to drink! Now that you're drunk and you've delayed your business, you're blaming me? How can you do this?! "
Hua Li was speechless.
Dong Xuebing replied firmly. "I will still say the same thing. If you want me to bring the investors back now, then I can only refuse to carry out this order. I will seriously suspect if you are biased in your decision, and I will also doubt your judgment. You can report me to the City Government, and I am not afraid of being punished. But I will say this. I will be able to justify myself no matter where I go. I, Dong Xuebing, am not afraid of being slandered!"
Doubt my decision?!
Doubt my judgment?!
Hua Li was once again enraged!
Although he knew this Zhen Shui County's Executive Deputy Mayor is not someone easy to deal with, he did not expect him to question the City's Leader!
Before Hua Li could reprimand Dong Xuebing, Dong Xuebing continued. "They forced me to drink, and I must be drunk?! They are drunk, and I am the one to blame?! Chief Lui had helped other Counties to lure away the investors who were going to our Zhen Shui County, and this is his job?! We had helped them to calm the investors down, and they had no choice but to bring the investors back to our County for an inspection. Do you not know the bigger picture?! What a joke! I just want to ask! Whose view of the overall situation was this? Ah?! Is it Mayor Hua's or Lui Weiguo's?! Anyway, I don't think it is the City Government's bigger picture. Zhen Shui County is also a part of Meihe City. Now, Chief Lui had made a mistake, and our Zhen Shui County had helped them. This is normal. If the investors are going to our Zhen Shui County, doesn't that mean the City Government is going to lose? But why is Mayor Hua so angry?! Why do you seem to be biased against our County?! I'm not in a good mood today, so please don't take offense at my harsh words. But no matter what you say about this matter! Our Zhen Shui County also has a clear conscience! "
Hua Li was enraged. "Fine! Good! Alright! "
Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "I still have many things to settle and will not disturb Mayor Hua. I will send the investor back after he calms down!"
Patter!
This is the second time Dong Xuebing hung up on Hua Li!
