"Mayor Li, the banquet is in room 8888 on the eighth floor of the Wu Du Hotel. Secretary General Gao is waiting for you downstairs. I just checked it again. There shouldn't be any mistakes. I hope Mayor Li is satisfied." Ma Yingjie said carefully on the phone.
"Is the secretary here?" Li Huiling asked.
"I haven't reported to the secretary yet. I asked Mayor Li first. I'll report the situation to the secretary right away. When will you arrive? " Ma Yingjie seemed to ask Li Huiling casually. Li Huiling didn't expect Ma Yingjie to report to her first. She was secretly happy, but she didn't show it. She said to Ma Yingjie calmly, "Ma Yingjie, we'll be there in 20 minutes." Before Ma Yingjie said anything, Li Huiling hung up the phone.
Ma Yingjie immediately called his boss, Luo Tianyun. When the phone was connected, Luo Tianyun asked Ma Yingjie first, "Are you ready?"
"Yes. Secretary. " Ma Yingjie told Luo Tianyun about the preparations and the arrival of Li Huiling and Jack to his boss. Luo Tianyun was very satisfied with Ma Yingjie's arrangement for the banquet. He praised Ma Yingjie on the phone, "Well done. I'll be there soon."
Luo Tianyun hung up the phone. Ma Yingjie was relieved. He was worried that he would be scolded by his boss because he didn't like extravagance. He didn't expect that his boss not only didn't scold him, but also praised him. It seemed that his boss was not as old-fashioned and frugal as he thought. He also cared about the big picture.
Ma Yingjie didn't go downstairs. He stood at the door of the VIP room and waited for the arrival of the guests. Gao Fali was downstairs, so his task was to welcome them upstairs. However, Ma Yingjie stood at the elevator door. He had to lead the bosses to the VIP room, which was also a kind of considerate etiquette. At 12 o 'clock sharp, the elevator stopped on the eighth floor. Ma Yingjie knew that the bosses had arrived. As soon as the elevator door opened, Boss Li Huiling and others were in the elevator. To Ma Yingjie's great surprise, Gu Qingming was also in the middle. Ma Yingjie was stunned for a moment, but soon, his whole face was covered with a warm smile. Boss Luo Tianyun was a little surprised to see Ma Yingjie standing at the elevator door to welcome them. He didn't expect that Ma Yingjie would be so meticulous, so he said to Mr. Jack, "Mr. Jack, please."
Ma Yingjie also smiled at Mr. Jack. Mr. Jack recognized Ma Yingjie, so he smiled back and said in poor Chinese, "Young man, I remember you."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jack. I've known your urban design philosophy for a long time, and I've remembered it." Ma Yingjie greeted Mr. Jack with a smile and led the way in front.
Mr. Jack suddenly became interested. He left Luo Tianyun and Li Huiling and walked two steps quickly. He walked side by side with Ma Yingjie and asked Ma Yingjie, "Young man, do you really know my design philosophy?"
"The architecture of the city should be integrated with the natural landscape, saving energy, resources and reducing pollution. The 'high-tech style' of sustainable development is Mr. Jack's usual philosophy, which is also the philosophy that Wu Du lacks the most. So, Mr. Jack, welcome to Wu Du. Let me get some of the master's immortal aura and learn from you." Seeing Mr. Jack really interested, Ma Yingjie took the chance to chat with Mr. Jack. He didn't speak loudly and deliberately, so that only Mr. Jack could hear him. He didn't want the people behind him to hear him. Seeing Ma Yingjie talking with Mr. Jack, Luo Tianyun slowed down on purpose. Li Huiling didn't have the nerve to chase after Mr. Jack in front of Luo Tianyun.
Li Huiling looked at Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming also went to Linzigou, but he didn't follow Li Huiling. In the morning, he intentionally avoided meeting and contacting Li Huiling, but Li Huiling didn't call him. Seeing that it was time to invite Mr. Jack, Gu Qingming couldn't sit still. He took the initiative to call Li Huiling, apologized and asked to attend the banquet with her. Li Huiling didn't really want to fall out with Gu Qingming. Seeing that Gu Qingming was willing to apologize, a woman's vanity was satisfied, so she agreed to Gu Qingming's request and took him to attend the banquet. Of course, Li Huiling was very clear that at present, she and Gu Qingming were the real interest groups. Because they had the same interest goal, they had the same idea, which was to take over all the authority of the high-speed railway station from Luo Tianyun.
Now Li Huiling focused his eyes on Gu Qingming. He was very clear that Li Huiling also began to worry. Even he was nervous, not to mention Li Huiling. He and Li Huiling still underestimated Ma Yingjie. They didn't expect that Ma Yingjie was talking with Mr. Jack in front of them, and it seemed that they had a good talk. He and Li Huiling focused their attention on Luo Tianyun. Luo Tianyun treated Jack in a completely businesslike manner. When they thought they could be relieved, they didn't expect that Ma Yingjie and Mr. Jack would establish a good relationship. Now Mr. Jack's face was full of appreciation for Ma Yingjie, which made Li Huiling and Gu Qingming lose confidence.
At this time, what else could Gu Qingming do except to give Li Huiling a very confident look? This woman didn't listen to him, so she would suffer losses later. Gu Qingming thought so, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face. "People under the eaves have to bow their heads." This was the comforting words that Gu Qingming persuaded himself to apologize to Li Huiling in the morning.
Ma Yingjie led Mr. Jack to his seat in the VIP room, but Mr. Jack still wanted to chat with Ma Yingjie. He even wanted to sit next to Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie said with a smile, "Mr. Jack, I can't do that. My leader will criticize me."
At this time, Luo Tianyun had led Li Huiling, Gao Fali, Gu Qingming, and Mr. Jack's two assistants in the room.
As soon as they entered this VIP room, Ma Yingjie found that Li Huiling's expression was still a little unnatural and embarrassed. She naturally knew the standard of this kind of banquet, but she didn't expect that Luo Tianyun would invite Mr. Jack with the highest standard of Wu Du's reception, and Gu Qingming obviously didn't expect that Luo Tianyun would invite Mr. Jack with this kind of standard. Their eyes met again unconsciously. Ma Yingjie saw this action and expression, but Ma Yingjie thought that Luo Tianyun also saw it. Who was he? Could such a small action escape the boss's eyes? However, the expression on Luo Tianyun's face was very calm, and no one could tell that he had seen the eye contact between Li Huiling and Gu Qingming.
Although this kind of VIP banquet was not very particular, the top seat was always the seat of the important person. Especially since Ma Yingjie had brought Mr. Jack to his seat, the other seats were much easier. However, at this time, Luo Tianyun spoke. He pointed to the seat next to Mr. Jack and said, "Mayor Huiling, you can sit next to Mr. Jack. With this kind of pairing, you won't feel tired doing anything, and eating will be more interesting. Am I right, Mr. Jack?"
Regarding Luo Tianyun's jokes, especially the joke directed at Mr. Jack at the end, the atmosphere of the VIP room was suddenly enlivened. Li Huiling, who had been very nervous, couldn't help but smile charmingly. Looking at Mr. Jack, Mr. Jack shrugged and pretended to enjoy it. After Li Huiling's seat was settled, Luo Tianyun sat opposite to Mr. Jack. In this way, it was easy for the other people to sit down.
After everyone was seated, Ma Yingjie ordered Hong Yu to serve the dishes. Every dish was ordered by Ma Yingjie, so it was very meticulous. And for every dish, Hong Yu was an excellent guide. From the customs of Wu Du to the culture of Wu Du, Hong Yu was very detailed. What surprised Ma Yingjie was that Mr. Jack was not only interested in these dishes, but also interested in Hong Yu's explanation. He even said, "If this wine is also Wu Du's specialty, it will be so beautiful."
At this time, Ma Yingjie felt that Gao Fali was a little uneasy. There was a trace of fear on his face. Ma Yingjie was also worried. After all, this was Wu Du's wine. In China, this wine had an improper name and it was not acceptable.
Ma Yingjie stole a glance at the boss. Luo Tianyun didn't show any anger. Ma Yingjie was relieved. When he was about to say something, Gu Qingming, who had been immersed in eating, said, "Mr. Jack, this wine was specially shipped by air by our Secretary General Ma. He was worried that you wouldn't like our Wu Du's wine."
"Really?" Mr. Jack looked at Ma Yingjie in surprise. At this time, Li Huiling also said, "Of course, Mr. Jack, this wine is produced in your hometown. How can it be shipped by air? Besides, we don't receive guests with this kind of wine. "Li Huiling's words were obviously attacking Ma Yingjie for using the wrong wine.
At this time, Luo Tianyun's face changed. Ma Yingjie's heart tightened. He didn't expect that he still made a mistake on the wine. This was a loophole that Li Huiling and Gu Qingming could easily find. Moreover, this wine also gave Hong Yu a lot of commission. If Gu Qingming knew about this, Ma Yingjie was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain himself in front of the boss, Luo Tianyun.
Just when Ma Yingjie was stunned and didn't know how to deal with it, the boss, Luo Tianyun, looked at Mr. Jack and said with a smile, "Mr. Jack, it's not cheap to ship this wine to China by air. We just want you to have the feeling of home in a foreign country, and this feeling is matched with our Wu Du's special dishes. We hope that you can treat Wu Du as your hometown. Wine and dishes are inseparable. In China, this is a kind of fate match. I wonder if Mr. Jack's hometown has this kind of fate?"
