After lunch.
It's dark outside.
The stars are shining brightly, and the night sky is beautiful.
After giving them some instructions, Dong Xuebing walked out of the hotel alone and called his driver, Xiao Wang. Dong Xuebing's car arrived at the entrance, and he boarded the car.
"Secretary." Xiao Wang greeted Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Let's go back to the quarters."
Family quarters? Don't they still have to receive guests? However, Little Wang was just a chauffeur. Of course, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. He just had to carry out the leader's instructions. Hence, he did not even have a hint of doubt on his face. He stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
Dong Xuebing reached home.
Dong Xuebing did not have any work to do, and he brought a cup of tea up to the second floor. He sat on the balcony outside and enjoyed his tea while admiring the moon. He was also trying to calm himself down. He was furious with those City Government officials and those foreigners. All of them were too shameless!
On the other side.
At the entrance of the hotel.
The people left one after another.
The investors had left, and so had most of the county's officials. Only a few leaders and staff were left. The number of people was pitifully small.
A staff from the County's Party Committee looked around and asked Meng Hanmei softly. "Director Meng, is this welcoming team a little … too shabby?" It's not that he thinks they should welcome those foreigners. After this incident, no one in Jiaolin County has a good impression of those foreigners. He had brought this up because of the City Government's attitude. Baohong City's Party Committee Secretary and Mayor had gone to welcome the foreigners. Although Zhang Dongfang is also present, the person in charge is Party Secretary Dong. Without him around, the welcoming team is too small, and compared to the City Government's attitude, they are not keeping up with the higher-ups.
Meng Hanmei looks at that staff. "What else can we do?"
That staff scratched his head. "Should I call more people from the County's Party Committee over?"
His thinking is simple. With more people, they will be able to make a name for themselves.
But Meng Hanmei waved her hand. "Don't be so smart. Didn't you see that Party Secretary Dong is angry today? He had even closed the hotel. This is a show of his attitude."
That person paused for a second and thought for a while. Secretary Dong had already thrown a tantrum, and if they wait for Secretary Dong to leave, they will be giving Secretary Dong a hard time. This is not something they can do. Sigh … Look at the commotion.
8 pm.
Jiaolin County's suburban road.
A few Audi A8's were driving on the road, and there are government vehicles leading the way. There are about ten cars in a long line. is
In one of the cars.
Deputy Chief Niu's face is still black. He did not have a good meal because of the phone call with Dong Xuebing, and he is in a bad mood. The City Government had assigned him a task, and he had instructed him to take care of the foreign guests. He must ensure the foreign guests' exchanges in Baohong City are successful, and he must treat them with the best hospitality. Deputy Chief Niu remembered all these and followed his instructions strictly. He had accompanied the foreign guests and arranged everything. Even if this is not a political mission, it is close to it. That's why Deputy Chief Niu did not care about Dong Xuebing and the rest. Furthermore, he knew the City Government had a bad impression of Jiaolin County's Party Secretary, and this affected his attitude. That's why he had forgotten to inform them about the change of the itinerary. Deputy Chief Niu did not do it on purpose, but he and the rest of the staff from the City Government Office did not expect Jiaolin County's Party Secretary to scold them!
This bastard!
What kind of Party Secretary is he?!
"Chief Niu, why don't we inform the City Government?" A staff from the City Government Office asked. They had also heard about the phone call earlier.
Deputy Chief Niu's face changed. "Let's go over first!"
"We are in Jiaolin County now, and we will reach soon." Someone reported.
Deputy Chief Niu nodded. "Make arrangements for the foreign guests first, and we will talk about other matters later!" He cannot take this lying down, and he must focus on the bigger picture.
After a while, the car arrived at the restaurant. This is the place they had agreed to meet.
Deputy Chief Niu had told the people from Jiaolin County over the phone to arrive before 8 pm, but they failed to meet again. When the foreign guests' car arrived, it was almost 8: 30 pm, and Zhang Dongfang and the rest of the people from Jiaolin County had to wait in the cold for half an hour.
It's fine once.
It's fine even if it's twice.
But there should not be more than three times.
Zhang Dongfang, who was waiting for Dong Xuebing, was furious. He had reservations about Dong Xuebing's earlier outburst. He felt that no matter what, he should at least treat the guests well. But now, he changed his mind. The guests' arrival time was different from what they had told them. The dinner date was changed again and again, and the guests were still not here. Dong Xuebing had gone back on his words. Even Zhang Dongfang, who was a senior comrade, wanted to leave!
This is too much!
Don't they have any sense of time?
The motorcade drove over and stopped the cars one by one. The people also got off the cars.
There were quite a number of people in the British exchange team. A group of foreigners, some with blonde hair and some with red hair, were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. After they came down, they exchanged a few words with each other. Then, they looked at the welcoming scene at Jiaolin County. A few of them frowned, as if they had some opinions and were not too happy.
Deputy Director Niu was also infuriated when he saw this. He was no longer unhappy, but furious. He felt that he had been disgraced. He went forward and said, "Why is the welcoming team like this?"
Meng Hanmei's face changed. You all had arrived late twice! You all had stood us up once! Now, you all dare to throw a tantrum at us?! This is tantamount to complaining first!
The people from Jiaolin County ignored him.
Deputy Chief Niu looked around the group of ten people and asked. "Where is your County's Secretary Dong? Why is he not here? " As the person-in-charge of Baohong City's foreign guests reception, Deputy Director Niu is very confident. Also, he had been scolded by Dong Xuebing, and his tone is aggressive. "What are you all doing?! Ah?! Didn't the City tell you all to give the best reception?! Is this how you all receive the guests?! The County's Party Secretary is not here! There are only so few people here! Are you all not taking the City's orders seriously?! "
The people from Jiaolin County heard what Dong Xuebing said and felt what Dong Xuebing said about Deputy Chief Niu was right. This person was arrogant and did not know what he was doing for this mission. He was only a Deputy Divisional Chief. What's the point of shouting at us?! Do you think you can represent Baohong City?! Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror?!
Everyone was cursing in their hearts!
This Deputy Chief Niu is too arrogant!
Deputy Chief Niu did not stop and continued scolding them. He vented his anger at Dong Xuebing on the people from Jiaolin County!
"Chief Niu!" Zhang Dongfang walked up from behind and interrupted him.
Deputy Chief Niu noticed Zhang Dongfang among the crowd and knew him. Although he had not greeted Zhang Dongfang many times in the past, he had softened his tone when scolding Jiaolin County. He knows Zhang Dongfang is close to the City Government, and he has to give him some face. "Mayor Zhang."
Zhang Dongfang asked. "Should we receive the guests first?"
Dong Xuebing dares to scold Deputy Chief Niu, and although Zhang Dongfang does not dare to scold him, he is not afraid of Deputy Chief Niu. After all, this is because of their rank, and Old Zhang is also angry.
Deputy Chief Niu and the City Government's staff were pissed.
Before they could say anything, the people from the British exchange team behind them chattered for a long time. Then, the translator grunted a few times and walked up to them. The translator said, "Where's your investor? It's still early, and the exchange team wants to speak to the entrepreneurs first. "
Deputy Chief Niu replied. "Ok. I will make the arrangements now."
The translator nodded and left.
"Where are they? Gather all the investors and arrange for an exchange meeting. It's getting late. A simple exchange meeting will do. "Deputy Director Niu gave the order.
Meng Hanmei said indifferently, "Everyone has already left."
Deputy Chief Niu stared at Meng Hanmei. "What do you mean?"
Meng Hanmei didn't give him a good look. She originally wanted to bear with it and fool them away tomorrow, and everything would be fine. However, this man with the surname Niu didn't know how to do things and didn't know how to speak. He was just like the group of foreign guests, standing in front of them as if he was high above them. Meng Hanmei didn't have a good attitude anymore. She directly said, "The entrepreneurs we invited arrived before six o 'clock. They were waiting for you and the foreign guests, but they didn't arrive. They didn't even inform us. Director Niu, do you mean to make them wait here foolishly for more than two hours? Wait for the foreign guests to meet them? If I remember correctly, the foreign guests want to bring our investors to their countries, right? But why do I feel our entrepreneurs are waiting for the foreign guests to meet them, hoping to get a chance to invest in them? "
Old Meng did not scold Deputy Chief Niu, but everyone knows she is furious!
Indeed, there was a big problem with these people's attitude. If it was a foreign investor from Jiaolin County, it was fine for them to wait and keep a low profile. But now, it was a foreign investor who came all the way to Jiaolin County to beg them to invest. Why did their attitude seem to be the opposite? It seems like Jiaolin County owes these foreigners.
You all can do whatever you want?
You all can stand us up if you want, and our entrepreneurs have to come over if you want to invite them over?
