Lin Qing thought about it silently. She picked up a white handbag that she always carried with her. It seemed that she had just changed her position, but in fact, Lin Qing had already used her phone.
Just two or three seconds later, Lin Qing's phone rang. This time, it was Lin Qing's turn to give Chen Xing an apologetic smile. Mayor Chen, I'm sorry. I have to take this call in your office.
It's okay. Just answer it. Chen Xing smiled.
Lin Qing picked up the phone and talked to the person on the other side in English. Chen Xing's English was not good, so he could not understand what the other side was saying. He was not in the mood to listen.
After a while, Lin Qing finished the call. She smiled helplessly. This person could not relax even if he wanted to. She came to Jiangcheng to have fun, but she did not expect someone to invite her to dinner.
Why? Does she have friends in Jiangcheng?
Not really friends. It's a senior executive of the Ford Group. I don't know why he came to Jiangcheng. He heard that I was in Jiangcheng these two days, so he called to invite me to dinner. Since our company has business dealings with the Ford Group, we used to have some dealings. Now that he called to invite me, it would be embarrassing not to go. Lin Qing smiled bitterly.
Lin Qing said it casually, but Chen Xing was surprised. Is Boss Lin familiar with someone from the Ford Group?
I know a few senior executives, but there are so many employees in the Ford Group. I don't have the ability to know all of them. Lin Qing smiled.
Chen Xing's mind started to work. Boss Lin, I know why the people from the Ford Group came to Jiangcheng. Recently, there was an inspection team from the Ford Group coming to Jiangcheng for inspection. The person you know should be one of the members of the inspection team.
Really, I didn't know about this. Why? Is Ford going to cooperate with Jiangcheng? Lin Qing asked in surprise.
Hehe, it would be great if we could cooperate. Now they are just here for inspection. Whether we can cooperate or not, it's not clear yet. If Boss Lin is familiar with their senior executives, it would be great if you could help us. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen, is this a request or a request? Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing with a smile.
Of course it's a request. I hope Boss Lin can help me. I don't dare to ask Boss Lin for help. Chen Xing smiled faintly.
Mayor Chen's words made people feel comfortable. But then again, you are the mayor. Even if you give me instructions, I don't dare to say no. Otherwise, I won't be able to survive in the mainland in the future. Lin Qing said half-jokingly.
Boss Lin, by saying that, are you treating our party's officials as tyrannical elements? Today, I have to correct you. Our party's officials are public servants who serve the people. It's not like what you think. As someone who has studied abroad and returned to China, you have to change your image and understanding of our country's officials. Chen Xing said seriously.
I was wrong. Mayor Chen, don't be so serious. You're making my heart pound. Lin Qing covered her mouth and chuckled. Alright, I'll definitely help you, Mayor Chen. I don't want Mayor Chen to accuse me of something else later.
Boss Lin is someone who receives a salary from a foreign company. Even if I put a big hat on you, it won't affect you much. Chen Xing smiled. But to be honest, I'm very grateful that Boss Lin is willing to help.
We can be considered old acquaintances. Mayor Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Lin Qing smiled and looked at the time. Mayor Chen, I won't disturb your work anymore. Today, I came to visit you. There's nothing else. Since I'm here, I won't disturb you anymore, Mayor Chen.
I'm very happy that Boss Lin remembers me, an old friend. How can I disturb you? Chen Xing smiled. If Boss Lin comes to Jiangcheng in the future, feel free to come over and visit me.
As he spoke, Chen Xing walked Lin Qing out. No matter what, Lin Qing was willing to help him talk to the people from the Ford Corporation. She had given him enough face. It wasn't a big deal for him to walk her out.
Boss Lin, if you have time tonight, can you do me the honor of having dinner with me? Outside the door, Chen Xing invited her.
Mayor Chen, I'm afraid I can't do it tonight. You saw it just now. He just called to invite me to dinner. I've already agreed. If I don't keep my promise, it'll be hard for me to deal with him in the future. Lin Qing smiled.
When Chen Xing heard this, he nodded. He did hear Lin Qing talking on the phone just now, so he didn't force her. Boss Lin, let's talk about it next time.
Mayor Chen, I'll be staying in Jiangcheng for a few more days. Don't worry, you won't be able to run away from this meal. I'll definitely pay for it. Lin Qing said with a face full of smiles. Coincidentally, I'm going to have dinner with the people from the Ford Corporation tonight. I'll help you find out more about the cooperation between Jiangcheng Automobile and the Ford Corporation. Take it as an early thank you for the meal.
That one meal isn't enough. I'll have to treat you a few more times. Chen Xing smiled.
The two of them chatted for a while and Lin Qing left with a smile. Chen Xing sent her to the elevator and didn't send her any further. Lin Qing had already attracted the attention of many people since he had sent her to the elevator. In the Municipal Government, everyone knew that those who could be sent here by the mayor were important guests. They had to remember this person's face in case they offended him the next time they came.
After sending Lin Qing off, Chen Xing stood there and thought for a while. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't have much hope for Lin Qing's help. After all, she wasn't from the Ford Corporation. Even if she could speak to them, she might not be able to make much of an impact. It was better not to have too much hope.
Downstairs, Lin Qing returned to the car. The young lady who had been waiting in the driver's seat turned to look at Lin Qing and smiled. Sister Lin, my call just now was timely, right?
Yes, you did well. You didn't waste your training and you didn't forget my instructions. It wasn't someone from the Ford Corporation who had called her. It was the young lady who had called her.
Hehe, my imitation of the male voice was not bad, right?
Not bad, I managed to pass the fake off as the real one.
When the young lady heard Lin Qing's words, she nodded in satisfaction. She was a 'recruit' who had just been trained and was now in charge of helping Lin Qing. Naturally, she hoped to gain Lin Qing's approval.
Sister Lin, what should we do next? Do we really have to facilitate the cooperation between the Ford Corporation and Jiangcheng Automobile? The young lady turned to look at Lin Qing.
Do we have that much ability? Lin Qing smiled. Xiao Lan, watch more and speak less. In our line of work, we might die one day. There's no benefit in keeping our mouths shut.
Alright, pretend I didn't ask anything. The young lady mumbled.
