Afternoon.
Around 5 pm.
The signing ceremony ended early, and Meng Rui went on stage to give a speech.
After a while, a bus was waiting outside. Party Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, and the rest of the investors boarded the bus and went to the hotel. Today is a memorable day. Although this investment fair will not be recorded in the history books, all the leaders in Zhen Shui County know this will have a significant impact on the county's future development.
200 million!
An investment of nearly two hundred million!
This is something many people can't even imagine!
When Dong Xuebing said he will get 50 million RMB to invest in Zhen Shui County during the Party Committee meeting, other than Mayor Jiang, no one believes him. They felt Dong Xuebing is too arrogant. Many people are waiting to see how Dong Xuebing will resign before the results are up. But now, the contract is locked in the safe, and the 200 million RMB investment is right in front of everyone. Many people are shocked. This is beyond everyone's expectations, and the way they look at Dong Xuebing had changed. They knew Dong Xuebing is capable, but they did not expect him to be so capable!
Everyone started to leave. Today's lunch is not only for the investors, but it is also a celebration for all the staff involved in the investment fair.
Only Dong Xuebing and a few people stayed.
Li Xiaona walked over. "Mayor Dong!"
Dong Xuebing was packing up with Changjuan. "What's wrong, Secretary Li?"
Li Xiaona asked. "Why are you still here? Party Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang are looking for you. Everyone is going to the hotel. You should go too. "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am not done with my work here."
Li Xiaona quickly replied. "You are the star of the show today. How can you be missing?"
"I will go later." Dong Xuebing points to the safe. "I need to send the contract back to my office first. We will talk after this is done."
"Don't. We are all waiting for you."
"Don't wait. I will be worried if you are not done with this."
"You are too much. Alright … I will inform the leaders."
"Ok. I will be there in an hour. Let everyone eat first. Don't wait for me. We are not the star of the show today. It is the investors."
"Ok. Hurry up."
"Got it. It won't be too late." Dong Xuebing turned to Zheng Dayou and the rest. "Old Zheng, you all go and accompany the investors. I will handle this."
Zheng Dayou said, "Don't."
"Listen to me. Go." Dong Xuebing said.
Cheng Yujie immediately said, "I'll stay. The office key is with me."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Alright. Sister Cheng will stay behind, and the rest of you can leave."
Zheng Dayou, Chang Juan, Chen Yunsong, and the rest did not say anything. Li Xiaona called a few other staff members and boarded the last bus back to the hotel. Only Dong Xuebing, Cheng Yujie, and some staff remained at the venue.
If it were in the past, Dong Xuebing would be in high spirits after getting such a good result. He might even argue with those County Leaders who thought he could not complete this task. But after so many things had happened, he is getting older, and Huilan, Xu Yan, Jiang Fangfang, and the rest have been educating him. Other than showing a happy expression, he does not show any arrogance. He is very calm and did not think of going for dinner. Instead, he wants to finish what he has to do and not let it get to his head.
Dong Xuebing carried the safe to the bus.
Dong Xuebing and Cheng Yujie returned to the Investment Promotion Agency together.
On the way, the Investment Promotion Agency's Office Chief, Cheng Yujie, flattered Dong Xuebing. "Mayor Dong, you had done well this time. It's almost 200 million."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's all because of everyone's hard work."
Cheng Yujie asked. "What did we do? It's all because of you. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't say this. One person's power is limited, and it's all because of everyone's hard work."
Cheng Yujie is overjoyed. "Our Investment Promotion Agency can finally make a name for itself."
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. That's right. In the future, who will dare to look down on the Investment Promotion Agency? An unpopular agency? That's a thing of the past. Dong Xuebing has reason to believe the Investment Promotion Agency will be a department with lots of manpower in the future, and many people will be eyeing the vacant positions.
… …
6 pm.
Dong Xuebing and Cheng Yujie went to the hotel.
The banquet hall is very lively. Dong Xuebing can hear the voices inside before he even opens the door.
When Dong Xuebing entered, the banquet is halfway through, and he was warmly welcomed. Party Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang even reserved a seat for him. Many government officials and investors started toasting Dong Xuebing. Many of them had heard about Dong Xuebing's alcohol tolerance. Dong Xuebing is in a good mood and started toasting with everyone.
When the banquet is almost over.
Zhang Longjuan suddenly smiled and raised her glass. "Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, and everyone from Zhen Shui County, thank you for your hospitality. Let me represent our team to give you a toast." After drinking, Zhang Longjuan said. "We have been here for more than a week. After drinking, Zhang Longjuan said, "We've been here for more than a week. I just asked my friends and they don't have the intention to go to other places for investigation, so we're going to fly back to M Nation tomorrow. I've just asked someone to book the tickets for tomorrow morning. Everyone has a lot of things to do when they go back, so we can't stay for long. As for those who have invested here, we'll send someone to deal with the affairs and projects here later. The money will also be in place on time. Don't worry about it. In the future, we'll definitely have more opportunities to interact with each other. Haha. "
Secretary Meng asked. "Are you going back so soon?"
A Chinese man replied. "We still have lots of work to settle in the company."
Jiang Fangfang looks at them. "Tomorrow's flight? Today?"
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said, "We're going to stay in the provincial capital tonight so that we won't be able to catch the plane the next day. So, we plan to leave after dinner."
Dong Xuebing heard this and said. "I will send you all back tonight."
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "Thank you, Mayor Dong."
Jiang Fangfang looks at Dong Xuebing. "Are you alright?"
"I heard you are not feeling well recently." Meng Rui is concerned about Dong Xuebing. "Should we ask Old Zheng to go with you?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Thank you for your concern. I am fine, and I will go with you tonight. I will come back tomorrow after sending everyone off."
"Are you sure you are fine?"
"Haha … I am fine."
"Alright. Thank you for your hard work."
After the meal, many domestic investors left. Zhang Longjuan and her foreign friends also went upstairs to their rooms. Before leaving, they had to pack their things.
Dong Xuebing and the rest sent them out and returned to their rooms.
In the banquet hall, Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, and the rest of the leaders had not left. After Dong Xuebing and the Investment Promotion Agency's staff entered the banquet hall, Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang raised their glasses.
Meng Rui laughed. "Everyone had witnessed the investment fair's results, and I will not say anything else. Mayor Jiang and I would like to propose a toast to all of you."
Jiang Fangfang added. "Thank you all for your hard work these few days."
Dong Xuebing, Zheng Dayou, and the rest quickly raise their glasses. "It's all for work."
They clinked glasses and drank. The county officials beside them also drank a glass of wine.
After drinking, Jiang Fangfang looks at them. "I had discussed with Secretary Meng earlier, and everyone who had participated in the investment fair had contributed. Let's not beat around the bush. Let's talk about the bonuses first. Those who had been transferred to the Investment Promotion Agency will get 20,000 RMB each, and they will get their year-end bonuses." Jiang Fangfang continued. "As for the Investment Promotion Agency's staff …"
Chang Juan and Cheng Yujie are looking forward to it.
Even someone at Zheng Dayou's level was looking forward to it.
The only person who does not mind is Dong Xuebing. He does not lack money, and he doesn't care how much they give him. Anyway, he had gotten the credit, and this is what matters to him.
Jiang Fangfang replied. "500,000 RMB for everyone."
Chang Juan, Gong Na, and the rest got excited.
Many leaders are envious of Dong Xuebing!
500,000 RMB! This amount is equivalent to their annual salary!
But everyone knows this is what the Investment Promotion Agency deserves. They had brought in so many investments for Zhen Shui County, and no other department can compare to them. If Zhen Shui County can get rid of the title of a National Poor County in the future, the Investment Promotion Agency will be the one to get the credit.
Meng Rui put down his cup and smiled. "As for the reward for the leaders, it is slightly higher, especially for Mayor Dong. Everyone had witnessed Mayor Dong's hard work and achievements in this investment fair. I believe no one will have any objections, right? Haha. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Secretary Meng, I don't need to give my bonus to the Investment Promotion Agency. Our Agency's facilities and environment are still not good, and I want to improve it."
Meng Rui waved his hand. "Don't worry about this. The County will increase the Investment Promotion Agency's funds in the future, and your bonus is still yours."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then … thank you, Leader."
Zheng Dayou, Chang Juan, and the rest also thanked Meng Rui.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Longjuan and the rest had finished packing their luggage.
Dong Xuebing had asked his secretary, Yao Cui, to follow them, and she had called Dong Xuebing.
"I will send Manager Zhang and the rest off first." He turned to Zheng Dayou. "Old Zheng, can you help me keep an eye on things here? I will be back tomorrow. "
Zheng Dayou replied. "Alright. Leave it to me."
Jiang Fangfang smiles. "I suggest we give Mayor Dong a round of applause."
Everyone heard this and started clapping. Dong Xuebing deserves this round of applause.
