The next morning.
There is a big problem with the investment fair, and this news cannot be kept a secret.
Now, all the County's departments are working with the Investment Promotion Agency to prepare for this investment fair. Everyone's heart tightens when they heard this news.
Xiang Daofa's face changed when he got the news. He immediately asked his secretary, Zhou Jun, to call Jia Yan to the County's Party Committee Compound. Although Xie Huilan is in charge of this investment fair, and she will not be happy if anything happens to her. But Xiang Daofa is the one who overthrew Xie Huilan and forced Jia Yan to work for the Investment Promotion Agency. If anything happens to the investment fair, Xiang Daofa will be held responsible and might cause the City Government to criticize him. This is something Xiang Daofa does not want to see.
In the office.
Jia Yan quickly said. "Uncle Xiang, I …"
"What are you waiting for?! Ah? What do you want? "Xiang Daofa banged the desk.
"There is a small problem with the investment fair." Jia Yan quickly explained. "But I will settle it as soon as possible."
"Small problem? Master Park is going to withdraw his investment! You call this a small problem?! "Xiang Daofa got even angrier." Only twenty investors had attended the investment fair! This is a small problem?! Then tell me, what is a big problem?! Ah?! What are you doing?! You can't even handle such a small problem?! "
Xiang Daofa is a leader who values political achievements and is passionate about his reputation. He had spent a lot of money and manpower on the construction of the city. That's why when he saw the Investment Promotion Agency is doing well, he wanted to take control of the Agency and kick Xie Huilan's men away. That's why he neglected some other matters. Now, Xiang Daofa realized it's not easy to get credit for the Investment Promotion Agency. This investment fair is the same as the previous ones. There's no way he can hold it well!
Xie Huilan!
Is she trying to set me up?!
Xiang Daofa finally understood Xie Huilan's intentions. She had expected this to happen, and that's why she had objected to Jia Yan's appointment during the Party Committee meeting. Xiang Daofa had to vote for Jia Yan to be appointed, and Xie Huilan had avoided her responsibilities. She had objected to Jia Yan's decision to host the investment fair, but she still cooperated with Jia Yan. She did not interfere with the investment fair and even asked Jia Yan to give money to Jia Yan. This is not because Xie Huilan is looking at the bigger picture. She is trying to boost Jia Yan's reputation and make him and Xiang Daofa fall even harder!
Xiang Daofa is furious. Other than Jia Yan's incompetence, he is also angry that Xie Huilan is more far-sighted than him.
How can the investment fair go wrong?!
Xiang Daofa and the rest of Yan Tai County's leaders had not thought about this. They had only noticed the changes in the investment fair this year. Last year, the Investment Promotion Agency had attracted 50 million RMB worth of investments, and Park Master is interested in their County's economy. That's why many people thought it is because of the changes in the economy or the construction projects. Not many people think it is because of Dong Xuebing. After all, he had only been appointed as the Chief for three months.
But who knows this will happen?!
There are so many of them at the same time! Even Park Master's investment is canceled!
Xiang Daofa's heart turned cold. Xie Huilan is trying to embarrass him at the cost of both sides? She wants to ruin his reputation?! She is even giving up her credit for this?! No. This is not what she is thinking. Xiang Daofa paused for a while and realized what is going on. Xie Huilan is not only trying to embarrass him, but she also wants Xiao Dong to take over the investment fair. She has no intentions of giving up on the investment fair!
But Xie Huilan is using an open scheme, and no one can find fault with it. It's because Jia Yan is too useless!
Xiang Daofa's face turns black. She wants Xiao Dong to take over?! Xie Huilan! Aren't you a little too naive? I am the one who had kicked Xiao Dong out, and the Party Committee had made the decision. Even if Jia Yan is not doing well, do you think I will let Xiao Dong take over? Slap my own face?! Admit my foresight is not as good as yours?! Admit I had interfered with the County Government?! Impossible! But the investment fair will not work! Don't even think about it! Xiang Daofa will not admit defeat to Xie Huilan. At most, both sides will suffer. If Jia Yan messes up the investment fair, I will be embarrassed, and Xie Huilan will also be embarrassed! Furthermore, this matter is not irreversible yet.
"Uncle Xiang." Jia Yan looked at Dong Xuebing nervously. "Master Park's five-year tax exemption is not a precedent. I want to communicate with him as soon as possible and try to get the project back on track. As for the investors, I have contacted a few friends yesterday and asked them to help. If they are willing to come, the number of participants will be at least 50 to 60."
"Have you contacted them? Can they arrive tonight? "
Tomorrow is the opening day of the investment fair, and the investors who will be attending tonight will be staying at the designated hotels.
"It should be about time. I had sent a car to pick them up." Jia Yan is also not sure if he can get the investment groups to attend. He had only tried his best to get them, and he is not sure if he will succeed. But he can only say this.
Xiang Daofa's expression softened. "Master Park's project is more important, and you must not try to get it. You must get it."
Jia Yan hesitated. "I will try my best. But I'm afraid … someone is messing with us. Master Park had made an agreement with the Investment Promotion Agency, and now he changed his mind. Someone must be behind this." Jia Yan had never thought of this as his responsibility. The first person he will think is Dong Xuebing, as he had gotten Park Yongxi to be one of the investors. Jia Yan does not want to think about why an investor would do something like this. He just wants Xiang Daofa to know this is not his fault.
… …
Morning.
County's People's Hospital.
Dong Xuebing leaned against the bathroom window and lit a cigarette. At this time, a nurse entered the room.
"Chief Dong, smoking is not allowed in the hospital."
"Haha … just one cigarette. Half a cigarette. Is that alright?"
"No." The nurse replied. "You are a patient now, and you must listen to us."
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "You have so many patients, and why are you fighting with me? Alright … alright … I will not smoke, alright? Haha … "
Dong Xuebing did not know that Xie Huilan had called the People's Hospital's Director and asked him to give Dong Xuebing a checkup. Dong Xuebing was the Mayor's fiancé, and the Hospital Director treated this as a political task. He immediately assigned a nurse to look after Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing was not allowed to smoke and was not allowed to leave the hospital without permission. He even made the nurse watch Dong Xuebing swallow his pills every day.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing extinguished his cigarette and looked at the nurse. She kept turning back to look at him as she walked away. He lit another cigarette secretly and answered the call.
It's Zhao Xinglong.
Zhao Xinglong asked about Dong Xuebing's health and said. "Have you heard about Master Park's investment?"
"Is this true?" Dong Xuebing had heard about it, but he does not know the details. "Didn't we discuss it? What problem can there be? "
"Master Park wants five years of tax exemption, and the County Government will not agree to this."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Did the investment fall through?"
"Chief Jia is still in discussion, and I don't know the details. Xiao Dong, you are the one who got Master Park's investment, and Party Secretary Xiang had instructed you to call Master Park to talk to him."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Mayor Zhao, I am telling you everything, and you want me to talk to him? How come Party Secretary Xiang thinks I am the one who got this investment? He kicked me out of the investment fair's person-in-charge and still wants me to work for him? Even if I am magnanimous, I should not be so magnanimous. What does Party Secretary Xiang want? Didn't he appoint Jia Yan to be in charge of the investment fair? I thought it has nothing to do with me?! "
Xiang Daofa, how dare you say this!
You can order me around whenever you want and kick me out when you don't need me?!
You took my power, robbed my political achievements, and I'm already in the hospital. Yet, you still want me to wipe your ass for you? You all want to get credit for me?! Then what?! After I get Master Park's investment, the credit will still belong to you and Jia Yan! This bro is once again going through a strenuous and unrewarding task. Once again, I'm making a wedding dress for you? I will be working for you all for nothing?! F * * k! Am I crazy?!
Zhao Xinglong knew Xiao Dong is unhappy, but he still needs to pass down his instructions. "This is a critical period, and you are the head of the Investment Promotion Agency …"
Dong Xuebing is furious. "Is Party Secretary Xiang and the rest thinking I am behind this?"
"… I think so too." Zhao Xinglong is also furious.
Dong Xuebing got even angrier. "Mayor Zhao, you should know what kind of person I am, and the County Government should know what I am doing. No matter how bad I am, I should still be able to look at the big picture. I will not ask Master Park to withdraw his investment just because I am in charge. Am I that kind of person? Furthermore, investors are willing to invest because of our County's environment and have their own plans. Why would they do something that will make them lose money?! Do you think I can make them withdraw their investment with just one sentence?! How can I do that?! "
"I know." What Dong Xuebing said is what Zhao Xinglong is thinking. He also believes Xiao Dong did not do anything.
"Jia Yan is useless, and Party Secretary Xiang does not know how to pick the right people. How can they blame me when they fail?! Oh, they will get the credit, and I will bear the responsibility. How can there be such a good deal in the world?! "
These bastards!
