The person who came was Lin Qing, the Deputy General Manager of the Gray Group in the Greater China Region. Chen Xing had dealt with her a few times, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were old friends. Her arrival was indeed unexpected, and Chen Xing did not expect it at all.
Director Lin, what brings you here today? What a rare guest! Chen Xing smiled.
If Mayor Chen welcomes me, I will come here every day. Lin Qing smiled.
Welcome, of course. Chen Xing smiled and invited Lin Qing to take a seat. They exchanged pleasantries. Yu Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Qing and Chen Xing were familiar with each other. He quickly poured them a glass of water.
Director Lin, are you here to inspect the market in Rivertown? We don't have a branch of Gray Bank in Rivertown. It would be a pity for a multinational financial group like Gray Bank to miss out on Rivertown. Chen Xing said with a smile.
After hearing Mayor Chen's words, if I wasn't here to inspect the market, I reckon Mayor Chen wouldn't welcome me.
Haha, Director Lin, you have misunderstood me. No matter if you are here for inspection, sightseeing, or visiting friends, I will always welcome you.
With Mayor Chen's words, I can rest assured. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to sit here. Lin Qing smiled.
Lin Qing's words indirectly indicated that she wasn't here to inspect the market. Chen Xing was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. Why did Director Lin come to Rivertown this time?
I wonder if Mayor Chen would believe me if I told him that I was here to visit Mayor Chen? Lin Qing squinted her eyes and smiled.
Of course, I believe you. I'm happy that Director Lin remembers me. Chen Xing smiled.
As the two of them chatted and laughed, Lin Qing's expression became slightly more serious. Actually, Jiangcheng was considered one of the important economic towns along the coast of Huadong. The Gray Group had always been paying close attention to it. Maybe it was really possible for us to open a new branch here in the future.
Is that so? That couldn't be better. Our Jiang City has always welcomed foreign banks. Now there are many branches of well-known foreign banks in the city. I hope your Gray Group can also open a branch of Gray Bank in Jiang City. Chen Xing smiled.
As the two of them spoke, the office phone rang. Chen Xing smiled apologetically at Lin Qing and walked over to answer the phone. When he saw that it was an internal line from the Provincial government, Chen Xing's expression froze and he picked up the call.
Comrade Chen Xing, it's me, Zhao Conggang. On the other end of the line, Zhao Conggang introduced himself.
It was Governor Cong Gang. What instructions did he have? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. Just now, Huang Zhenping had mentioned Zhao Conggang on the phone. Now that Zhao Conggang had called him, Chen Xing immediately knew that it was Huang Zhenping, the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Province, who had 'tipped off' Zhao Conggang.
Comrade Chen Xing, regarding the matter of Jiang Qi, I feel that there is a need to communicate with you. The province has always been paying attention to the situation of Jiang Qi, especially Governor Zhiming, who has repeatedly shown concern and inquired about the development of Jiang Qi. This time, they were able to invite the Ford Corporation over for an inspection, and it was Governor Zhiming who put in a lot of effort. Therefore, the province has high hopes for the cooperation between Jiang Qi and the Ford Corporation. Zhao Conggang said slowly over the phone.
Chen Xing listened to the other party's words. There was no need for the other party to explain. Chen Xing understood what the other party meant. Zhao Conggang said that the province hoped that Jiang Qi and Ford could cooperate. This, in turn, meant that they didn't want to see Jiang Qi and Hua Qi sign a contract for the time being, so they asked the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Province to step in and stop it.
Governor Cong Gang, if we can cooperate with the Ford Corporation, our city would also be happy to see it, but the problem is that the Ford Corporation hasn't given us a definite answer. Jiang Qi and Hua Qi have already gone through half a year of negotiations and have settled all the details of the cooperation. Both sides have put in a lot of effort for this. Now, the province wants to stop both sides from signing the contract with just one sentence. Isn't this a bit unreasonable? Moreover, they didn't fully consider the actual situation.
Comrade Chen Xing, what you said is a bit wrong. The province has always been paying close attention to the situation of Jiang Qi and understands the situation of Jiang Qi. If you say that the province didn't consider the actual situation, are you trying to say that the main leaders of the province make decisions with their butts?
Governor Conggang, you've misunderstood me. Chen Xing pursed his lips. He felt a bit annoyed. He really didn't get along with Zhao Conggang. Most importantly, Zhao Conggang was obviously targeting him.
Alright, Comrade Chen Xing, regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding or not, there is no point in talking about this. Let's get back to the main topic. Regarding the signing of the contract between Jiang Qi and Hua Qi, I hope that the city will fully understand and comply with the intention of the province. Zhao Conggang said indifferently.
Hearing this, Chen Xing didn't say anything. Damn, I already asked Liu Anding to wait for two days. If he didn't get a reply from the Ford Corporation, he would directly sign the contract with Hua Qi. Now you're saying this to me?
Governor Conggang, the city will consider the actual situation and make the best choice for Jiang Qi. At the very least, we will guarantee that we will have a clear conscience and a clear conscience to the people.
Zhao Conggang almost choked to death by Chen Xing's words. What did he mean? Could it be that if we do as he said, we will have a clear conscience to the people?
At this moment, Zhao Conggang was speechless. Both of them seemed to realize that they could get angry with each other in a few words. In the end, Zhao Conggang said, "Comrade Chen Xing, I have already expressed the intention of the province very clearly. I won't say anything more. You are also a busy man. That's all."
After Zhao Conggang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Chen Xing pursed his lips. There was really nothing to talk about between the two of them. If Zhao Conggang didn't hang up the phone, he would find an excuse to say that he had something to do.
However, although he was annoyed in his heart, Chen Xing was really troubled. The intention of the province that Zhao Conggang mentioned was none other than Zhou Zhiming's intention. If Zhao Conggang didn't make this call, he could pretend that he didn't know. However, the problem was that Zhao Conggang had made this call. In two days, once Zhao Conggang insisted that Jiang Qi and Hua Qi sign the contract, Zhou Zhiming would be greatly offended.
It seemed that he still had to make a trip to Fu Jianjia's place. Chen Xing thought to himself. For this kind of matter that required him to bear the consequences, he had to bring Fu Jianjia along. He couldn't be so stupid as to rush forward alone.
Mayor Chen, did you encounter something troublesome? Lin Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, asked with a smile.
Nothing much. Chen Xing straightened his expression and walked over with a smile to sit down. Boss Lin, I'm sorry to have made you wait for so long.
It's okay. Mayor Chen, you only made this call for less than two minutes. Lin Qing smiled and pointed at her hand. There was an exquisite watch on her delicate wrist.
It seemed that Boss Lin was a person with a strong sense of time. Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Lin Qing.
Fortunately, because of work, he often had to fly around in the sky. He had to be punctual even if he had to catch a plane. Hence, he usually had a strong sense of time. Lin Qing smiled.
