Night.
County.
The neighborhood was peaceful. Some people went home to play with their children, some worked overtime at work, and some couples went shopping outside. It looked very harmonious. However, the atmosphere in Jiaolin County was actually very tense in a place that the commoners couldn't see.
Su Yan went to the hotels one by one.
Deputy Chief Niu brought the foreign guests to the hotels one by one.
But this was Jiaolin County, and it was Dong Xuebing's territory. Even if Deputy Chief Niu and the rest were from the City Government, they could not be compared to the local government's connections and efficiency. So, even if Su Yan left later than Deputy Chief Niu, he only needed to make a few phone calls, and everything was settled. He only needed to use Dong Xuebing's bank card to settle the bills. Actually, it does not matter if he settles the bills tomorrow or the day after. The County's Party Secretary had spoken, and this was his credibility. No hotel would be afraid of their leaders going back on their words. Dong Xuebing did not need to say much. Su Yan only needed to pass on Dong Xuebing's orders, and there would not be any problems in Jiaolin County.
But there were still some small problems.
Dong Xuebing was still admiring the moon at home when Su Yan called. He answered. "Xiao Su, how is it going? Have you booked all the rooms? "
Su Yan replied. "Yes, and I had asked my men to inform them. But the last hotel I went to refused to let me use my card. I don't know if it is …"
Dong Xuebing frowned. "There are no more rooms left?"
"There are still a lot of rooms left, and the people there will not accept new guests. But …" Su Yan replied.
Dong Xuebing frowned and said. "It's fine. I know. Thank you for your hard work today. Come back and rest after you are done."
Su Yan immediately replied. "It's fine. I am not tired. I will go and find out what the foreign guests are doing."
Dong Xuebing nodded. He knew his secretary had understood what he meant. "Ok. Keep me updated."
The call ended.
Dong Xuebing rang again.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and did not know who it was. "Who is this?"
It was a middle-aged woman. "Secretary Dong, my surname is Sun. You might not remember me, but we met at a dinner party earlier."
Dong Xuebing does not remember, but he cannot say this. "Oh, I know. Manager Sun?"
The person who called Dong Xuebing and spoke to him in this manner must be one of the local entrepreneurs in the banquet hall. If not, the person must be a government agency staff, and his tone will be different. Dong Xuebing could tell from the tone of his voice that this person must be from the banquet hall.
The woman laughed. "I didn't expect Secretary Dong to still remember me. It's my honor. I just received news that the County Government had reserved all the remaining rooms in the County's hotels. I know why. Coincidentally, one of the hotels is my private property. Haha … that's why I did not ask my men to collect the money."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Manager Sun, this is my personal investment, and I don't want to trouble all of you."
The woman said, "You're treating me like an outsider. The county's matters are our matters. I've always felt that a business is not only about making money, but also about having a certain level of social responsibility. Hur Hur, you know what I mean. My sense of social responsibility is ultimately a social responsibility of China, and not some other place's. That's why you didn't get someone to settle the bill for us. I definitely won't accept it. There might be some losses, but it's only for a day or two. We can still afford this bit of loss."
Dong Xuebing felt touched. "Thank you, Manager Sun."
The woman said, "You don't have to thank me. This is also what I wanted to do. This bunch of foreigners should be taught a lesson. They came here expecting us to do things for them, yet they are still acting all high and mighty. How can we make them feel comfortable? They must be joking with us! "
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing nodded. Everyone might be fighting fiercely, but when it comes to dealing with a foreign enemy, they will not hesitate.
… …
On the other side.
The foreign guests were in an uproar.
Deputy Director Niu and the people from the Municipal Government Office couldn't understand what they were saying, but they knew it was not something good. They had no choice but to accept it. They continued to arrange hotels for the foreign guests. But in the end, even after they went to the hotels and made phone calls, the news they got was that there were no more rooms available. Deputy Director Niu and the others could tell that the people from Jiaolin County must be obstructing them. Otherwise, how could Jiaolin County, which was not a tourist destination, run out of rooms in several high-class hotels?
It must be Dong Xuebing!
There's no need to ask! Only a hooligan like him will do something like this! Even Zhang Dongfang does not have the guts to go against the foreign guests!
Damn!
Why did they meet this bastard?!
This is going against the City Government!
But it's useless to say anything now. Deputy Chief Niu and the rest's first priority is to settle the foreign guests down!
That translator conveyed the foreign guests' message. "How come there is no hotel? Everyone is tired and needs to rest. It's been almost an hour. Why are you asking us to stand outside? If you all are going to do this, we don't mind reporting this to the Provincial Government! "
All the foreign guests are hot-tempered.
The translator they brought from Jiaolin County is also arrogant.
Deputy Chief Niu had no choice but to look at the hotel opposite from the corner of his eyes. He pointed to the hotel and said. "Why don't we go there?"
The translator stared at the hotel. "Stay there?"
Deputy Director Niu said, "Let's make do with it for now. After all, it's too late to go back or to the other counties. We'll be delayed even longer. Everyone, please stay here first, and I'll make arrangements for other things. This time, we really did not do our job well. Please understand. I'll definitely give everyone an explanation."
The translator suppressed his anger and went back to tell the foreign guests.
From the foreign guests' expressions, they can tell their attitude.
After a while, the translator came back and told Deputy Chief Niu. "Everyone said that this place is not suitable. You all should look for another hotel. If you all can't find one, just go back. There's no need to say anything else. Anyway, the foreign guests had said that everyone is not satisfied with this exchange. They will report this to the higher-ups!"
Deputy Chief Niu quickly said. "It's the local County that did not do their job well. We also … …"
"There's no point in saying that." The translator left and spoke to the foreign guests for a while more. After that, everyone boarded the bus with a black face.
"Chief Niu." One of his men said. "We … …"
Deputy Chief Niu clenched his fist. "What 'we'! Let's go! Go back to the City! Contact the hotel in the City! "
"But if we go back … … it will take more than an hour!" That man said.
Deputy Chief Niu vented his anger on that man. "So what if it takes more than an hour?! We still have to go back after three hours! Why don't you tell us where we will be staying tonight? Ah? Sleeping on the streets? "
"Huh? Ok. I will contact them." His subordinates were also a little uncomfortable with Deputy Director Niu's attitude. Why are you yelling at me? Aren't you being unreasonable in your own home? You're frowning at your own people, but when you're talking to a foreign guest, you're always making others feel uncomfortable.
Deputy Chief Niu took one last look at the streets of Jiaolin County and boarded his bus. Bam! He slammed the door. "Drive! Back to the City! " Today, Deputy Chief Niu had lost all his face. Jiaolin County, especially Dong Xuebing, had ruined his reputation. Deputy Chief Niu was still angry with Dong Xuebing, and he even had the urge to beat Dong Xuebing up!
This is too much!
Dong Xuebing! You brat, just you wait!
Deputy Chief Niu was thinking of how to report Dong Xuebing to the City Government. He will not tolerate this!
A group of cars drove out of the county town noisily.
The foreign guests and the City Government's people had all left. They were forced to leave by Dong Xuebing.
… …
Family quarters.
Dong Xuebing went to his office in the middle, and a few County leaders returned home together. After all, they are living in the same compound.
But when the car stopped downstairs, Zhang Dongfang received a call. Meng Hanmei and Deputy Secretary Wei Zhixuan's phones rang.
"Hello."
"Mayor Zhang."
"What's the matter? What is it? "
"The foreign guests and the City Government's people had left!"
"Huh? What happened? Why did they go back so suddenly? "
"I heard that there are a few good hotels in our Jiaolin County, but all the rooms are sold out. Not a single room is left. The foreign guests are not willing to stay in small hotels, and the people from the city are not willing to contact us to arrange a guest house for them. So … they have all returned to the city!"
"There are no hotels left? How can this be? "
"It's true. I had asked earlier, and all the hotels are booked up. Even the windowless rooms in the basements are all booked!"
After hanging up.
The other two also put down their phones.
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Dongfang said. "The foreign guests had left."
"I also heard about this." Wei Zhixuan said.
Meng Hanmei blinked her eyes and smiled wryly. "I know more from my side. It seems that Secretary Dong had paid personally to book all the remaining rooms in our County's hotels!"
Wei Zhixuan gasped. "What?"
Zhang Dongfang almost lost his balance. "Secretary Dong booked the rooms?"
How much is this?!
This is the first thought that popped into their minds!
Even if there are not many rooms left in those hotels, it should not be too few. Also, there must be suites in those hotels, and it should cost at least a few hundred thousand RMB.
