Afternoon.
It's raining heavily outside, and the atmosphere in the hotel lobby is tense.
Many hotel staff are looking at Dong Xuebing anxiously. They are afraid he will do something shocking like the last time. That time, Da Feng County's leaders were embarrassed because of Dong Xuebing's actions. The County's Mayor was furious and almost took out his anger on the hotel. The hotel's Boss also scolded them, and everyone knows about this.
The standoff lasted for a few seconds.
The lobby manager braced himself and came up to them. "Do you have a reservation?" Ma Li is standing in front, and the lobby manager is talking to her. But she kept glancing at Dong Xuebing behind them. She looks nervous as she does not know why they are here.
Ma Li kept quiet for a while and replied. "We are waiting for someone."
The lobby manager asked. "Do you need us to arrange the accommodation and …"
"No need. Thank you." Ma Li rejected.
The lobby manager looked at Dong Xuebing and did not say anything. He took a look at Dong Xuebing and left. He whispered something to a staff member, and that staff member immediately went upstairs. After a while, five more security guards appeared in the hotel and patrolled the lobby. They would look in Dong Xuebing's direction from time to time and communicate with each other through their walkie-talkies.
Dong Xuebing got annoyed. I did not do anything to you all, and why are you all looking at me? Are you all crazy? He had just arrived, and so many security guards are looking at him. Many of his colleagues are around him, and Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. This is ruining his image.
But he does not know that his image is no longer there.
Suddenly, the elevator door not far away opened, and Geng Yuehua walked out without a smile. Seeing the atmosphere in the lobby, she frowned slightly and glanced at the hotel security guards.
"Mayor."
"Mayor Yuehua."
"Mayor Geng."
Ma Li, Pan Zhengyi, and the rest quickly walk over.
Geng Yuehua looks around. "What happened to them?"
Ma Li coughed and said, "Well, I'm not sure either. It happened as soon as I entered the hotel."
Geng Yuehua was obviously not a person who liked to talk nonsense. She nodded and told them the room number. "Go to the sixth floor. The investors have already made an appointment. They're all here. It's raining heavily outside. I don't know what time it will be if we drive back now. Go up and get ready. We'll welcome the investors here. After dinner, we'll bring them back to Nanshan District!"
Did they find him?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Xuebing did not expect Da Feng County to release them so quickly. Seems like Mayor Yuehua is influential, and his methods are powerful.
…
At night.
It was getting dark.
After accompanying the Japanese investors to a welcoming banquet, everyone left the private room. Looking outside, the rain had not stopped. Instead, it was getting heavier.
Dong Xuebing felt bored as almost no one had bothered to talk to him since afternoon. He felt there's no need to stay any longer and went to look for Geng Yuehua, who was speaking to a Japanese through her translator. After Geng Yuehua finished, Dong Xuebing walked over. "I still have something to attend to at home. Mayor Yuehua, I will return to the District first." Many cars from the Investment Promotion Agency had arrived, and Dong Xuebing does not need to send her back.
Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing coldly. "Everyone is here. Why are you the only one giving special treatment?"
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "It's because everything is fine here, so …"
"What do you mean nothing? Do you think the investors have nothing to do with your district? "
"I didn't say that. Alright. I will continue to accompany them. I … I will give them a call." Dong Xuebing remembered Geng Yuehua checking his watch and cooking for him in the morning, and he could not be angry with her.
Dong Xuebing is right.
After a while, Geng Yuehua called her secretary, Ma Li, over. "I had spoken to the investors. Bring them back to the district now. Be careful of the roads!"
"Ok." Ma Li asked. "What about you?"
"You all leave first. I have an appointment with Mayor Li, and I still have something to attend to."
"It's raining heavily. How about you let Xiao Wang stay behind to drive you?"
Geng Yuehua looks at Ma Li. "… Xiao Dong will stay behind! That's all! "
Everyone around them heard this and looked at Dong Xuebing. Everyone knows Mayor Yuehua is very hardworking. How can she let Dong Xuebing wait? Dong Xuebing doesn't know what time he will be back, and it might not even be at night. This is also giving Dong Xuebing a hard time. Everyone knew what Dong Xuebing was thinking and went back to work. Ma Li accompanied the Japanese investors downstairs, and Pan Zhengyi and a few men drove to the entrance to pick them up. After that, they returned to Da Feng County. Only Dong Xuebing and Geng Yuehua remained in Da Feng County.
… …
9 pm.
Dong Xuebing sat in the hotel lobby smoking and glanced at the elevator from time to time. He had been waiting for a long time, but he saw Li Feng and Wang Bo going upstairs. They should be going to look for Geng Yuehua.
Finally, the elevator door opened, and Geng Yuehua and Li Feng walked out side by side. Wang Bo followed behind with his bag.
"Mayor Yuehua, should we leave tomorrow? I had spoken to the County Government Guest House. "
"No need. I still have something on."
"Alright. I will not stay. It's raining outside, and be careful."
"Ok. Mayor Li, you don't need to send me off."
Dong Xuebing noticed Wang Bo, who was walking at the back, was staring at Mayor Yuehua's back. His eyes were looking down, and Dong Xuebing did not know where he was looking at. Even Li Feng was smiling when he looked at Geng Yuehua's face. Everyone loves beauty, and Geng Yuehua's body was very attractive. Every time Dong Xuebing looked at her, he would feel thirsty.
Some women, even if their faces were dark all day long, could still be dazzlingly beautiful.
Dong Xuebing parked his car outside the hotel lobby.
Li Feng and Wang Bo sent Geng Yuehua out and met Dong Xuebing's eyes.
Dong Xuebing alighted from the hotel lobby and smiled. "Mayor Li, Secretary Wang." He greeted them and let Geng Yuehua in.
Li Feng will not say anything to Dong Xuebing in this situation. He looked at Dong Xuebing and waved goodbye to Geng Yuehua.
Geng Yuehua also returned Dong Xuebing's greetings and boarded the backseat.
The Cayenne left in the rain.
Everyone in the hotel was relieved when they saw Dong Xuebing leaving. Once bitten, twice shy. Dong Xuebing had finally left.
… …
In the car.
The air is cold, and Dong Xuebing asked. "Mayor Yuehua, do you need me to switch on the air-conditioner?"
"No need." Geng Yuehua is sitting behind Dong Xuebing, and Dong Xuebing can see her shoulders from the rearview mirror. "Have you been to Da Feng County before?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. The last time I came here was to settle some matters and had some dealings with them."
The voice behind Dong Xuebing changed. "What did you do at the Investment Promotion Agency this morning?"
"This morning?" Dong Xuebing pretended not to know. "What did you say?"
"You scolded Secretary Wang in public!"
"Oh, the situation was like this. Secretary Wang insisted that he didn't know …"
Before Dong Xuebing can finish, Geng Yuehua interrupted. "Did you scold him?"
"I think so." Dong Xuebing replied.
"You are a Party Member! You are a government official! "Geng Yuehua shouted." You keep scolding people! Tell me, what are you doing?! "
Dong Xuebing retorted. "I am doing this for the District. We …"
Geng Yuehua did not let Dong Xuebing finish his sentence. "You dare to say you are doing this for the District? What is wrong with your way of working? You don't need to explain! Give me a report tomorrow! "
"Mayor Yuehua …"
"Go!"
Dong Xuebing knew someone from Da Feng County had complained to him. He continued. "Da Feng County had snatched our investor back, and they are looking down on us. I had to speak to him politely, but he will not take it seriously. Mayor Yuehua, I am not trying to talk back to you, and I am not trying to take credit for myself. If I did not scold them in the morning, they will not return our investor so quickly. I had dealt with them before and know their way of doing things.
Geng Yuehua replied coldly. "You are still trying to reason with me?"
But there was also a bottom line.
Dong Xuebing is furious with Geng Yuehua. "You want me to submit the report, and I will submit it. No problem. I know you have an opinion of me, but …"
"What opinion do I have of you?"
"… you know."
"I really don't know." Geng Yuehua's voice turned cold. "Tell me!"
Dong Xuebing felt bored and decided to keep quiet. I had sent you to Da Feng County to help our district, and you still want to pick on me? After arguing with Geng Yuehua, Dong Xuebing is no longer in the mood and stepped on the accelerator.
Suddenly, Geng Yuehua shouted. "Watch the road!"
Dong Xuebing immediately stepped on the brakes and saw a bend in the foggy road. Screech! The Cayenne slammed on its tires and skidded forward!
"Stop!"
"I can't stop!"
The car skidded down a slope!
Under Dong Xuebing's terrified gaze, the Cayenne skidded down the slope and entered a small forest. The engine died immediately!
The car stopped, and Dong Xuebing can hear their breathing.
Dong Xuebing turned around and was sweating profusely. "Are you alright?"
Geng Yuehua took a deep breath and did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat and tried to restart the car. But the Cayenne could not start the engine even after seven to eight tries!
The car broke down!
And it's in such a remote forest!
The rain pitter-pattered on the car, getting heavier and heavier.
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and regretted arguing with Mayor Yuehua. He is a man, and why did he argue with Mayor Yuehua?
