"Mayor Han, they're driving in."
Before Han Song could finish cursing, Qian Guangzhi, the director of the City Investment Promotion Bureau, came forward and whispered to him.
Han Song looked up. Sure enough, the other party's Mercedes-Benz MPV was slowly driving into the courtyard and was about to drive over. He glanced coldly at Li Rui and said fiercely, "I'll deal with you later. I must talk to your leader."
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "Up to you. I have two leaders. Secretary General Du of the Municipal Party Committee is my immediate superior. Song Shuji of the Municipal Party Committee is my highest superior. You can talk to whoever you want."
Seeing that he was still so arrogant, Han Song was so angry that he could not speak. He was also very sullen. Song Chaoyang was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the highest leader in Qingyang City. As the deputy mayor, he had to make an appointment with him in advance if he wanted to see him, let alone complain about his secretary. Even Du Minsheng, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, was also a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee. Although they were of the same rank in name, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and had a vote on important matters in the city. He was of a higher level than Han Song. Even if Han Song did not bow to him, he still had to serve him carefully. How could he complain about his subordinates in front of him? Moreover, even if he really complained to the two leaders, it was his own fault. He wanted to take the credit, so he had a conflict with Li Rui and Wang Weihua. He was unreasonable … Thinking of this, his heart was filled with resentment and helplessness. He was too lazy to pay attention to Li Rui and quickly walked to the Mercedes-Benz business car that was coming.
Qian Guangzhi and the others followed behind him and also went to greet the MPV.
Li Rui looked at how Qian Guangzhi followed his every step. Suddenly, he understood that Yu Heping might have heard about the latest progress of his boss, Song Chaoyang, from Qian Guangzhi. Of course, Qian Guangzhi didn't know the exact date of the inspection team's arrival, but he knew that his boss was looking for a five-star hotel. All he had to do was tell Yu Heping about this, and Yu Heping would use his huge connections to inquire about the city's tourism bureau. Naturally, it would be easy to find out the specific reception arrangements. Tsk... if that was really the case, then this Qian Guangzhi was Yu Heping's man.
At this moment, Wang Weihua walked over and looked at him gratefully. However, he sighed and said, "Director Li, I thank you for your protection. But the way you spoke to Mayor Han just now was really … really too aggressive. If you really fall out with him, it won't be good for your development."
Li Rui laughed and said, "I'm not going to become a soldier under him. What's there to be afraid of?"
Wang Weihua sighed and said, "That's not good either. It's best not to offend these city leaders if you can. More friends means more options. More enemies means more walls. Who knows when one day …"
Li Rui waved his hand and said with a smile, "We'll talk about this later. Let's go and welcome the inspection team first. Don't let Mayor Han beat us to it."
Wang Weihua nodded and said, "Yes, yes, let's go, let's go …"
The two of them led the reception team of the city's tourism bureau and quickly chased after Han Song and the others.
The Mercedes-Benz commercial car had already stopped. A young man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the front passenger seat. He walked to the back door and opened it horizontally. Then, three people got out of the car one after another. Two men and one woman.
Among the two men, the first to get out was a man in his late thirties. He was also in a suit and leather shoes. He had short hair and looked very energetic. He carried an ochre briefcase in his hand and looked like a manager. The last to get out was a man in his forties or fifties. He also had short hair and a fashionable hairstyle. The hair in the middle of his forehead was curled up. His hair color was a mix of black and white. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and eagle-like eyes. He looked handsome with a hint of fierceness. He was wearing a black woolen coat, a white shirt, a blue tie, dark blue trousers, and a pair of three-pointed leather shoes. When he got out of the car, he held his head high and looked dignified. He looked like a big star or a big leader.
The woman was the second to get off the car. Her hair was loose, and her figure was tall and graceful. She was almost 1.75 meters tall, and she was taller than most men in high heels. She was born with delicate features, graceful and delicate. She was wearing a long beige windbreaker, which was open at the chest, revealing a white shirt inside. Her peaks were high, and she was very burly. Her lower body was wearing a black woolen short skirt, and her slender legs were wrapped in thick opaque black stockings. She was wearing a pair of white high heels, and this similar to an office lady's suit made her not lose the charm of a female white-collar worker, but also a bit more noble and sexy, which made people's eyes light up.
Li Rui saw her appearance and guessed that she should be the secretary of the vice president. He thought of the popular joke, "If there's something to do, the secretary will do it. If there's nothing to do, the secretary will do it." He was a little envious of the vice president's luck with women.
"Welcome, welcome. Friends, you have come from afar. I'm Han Song, the vice mayor of Qingyang City. On behalf of myself and the Municipal Government of Qingyang City, I would like to express the most sincere welcome to you!"
Han Song said these pleasant words and went up to the eagle-eyed man. He stretched out his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. President, welcome."
In his opinion, the eagle-eyed man had the air of a leader. He must be the vice president who led the team this time. Moreover, he was the last to get out of the car, which was the custom of big shots walking last. Not only him, the other people in Qingyang City, including Li Rui, all thought that the eagle-eyed man was the vice president who led the team, the long-legged beauty was his secretary, and the man with the bag was the attendant supervisor.
Han Song gave the eagle-eyed man his most charming smile, his most attentive attitude, and his warmest hands. He wanted to win the recognition of the other party through his perfect performance. However, the eagle-eyed man didn't even look at his hands and dodged them. At the same time, he waved his hands and pointed to the beauty beside him. He said in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent, "I'm sorry, this is our vice president, Miss Zheng Yongyi."
As soon as he said that, everyone in Qingyang City, from the vice mayor Han Song to the ordinary reception staff, was shocked. No one thought that the guy who looked the most like the vice president was not the vice president. The woman who looked like a secretary and a beautiful vase was the vice president who led the inspection team. Wasn't this too big of a reversal? It was like a tiger accompanied by a kitten. Everyone thought that the tiger was the boss, but the tiger suddenly said, "I'm sorry, the kitten is the boss!"
Li Rui secretly clicked his tongue and turned to look at the beauty Zheng Yongyi. He saw that her expression didn't change and she didn't look angry at all. She just looked at Han Song calmly. It seemed that she was looking at him, but her eyes were a little distant, as if she didn't take him seriously at all. He thought that this woman was really something.
Wang Weihua next to him looked at Han Song gloatingly. He thought, "Aren't you awesome? Let's see if you can still be awesome now. You made such a big mistake in public, dissatisfied by the other party, and mocked by your subordinates. You, the vice mayor, have lost face today. Haha."
As the person involved, Han Song was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He hated Wang Weihua in his heart. Why didn't he tell him in advance that the vice president of the other party was a woman instead of a man? Now he made a big fool of himself in public. It would be fine if he just made a fool of himself, but he was afraid that he would annoy the other party because of this. Then the investment of the hotel would be ruined, and he would have to take all the blame. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed, resentful, and depressed.
He didn't know that even Wang Weihua didn't know that the other party's leader was a woman.
After all, Han Song had decades of experience in the officialdom and society. He was experienced and smart. After the initial embarrassment, he quickly collected his mood, turned slightly, and handed his hand to Zheng Yongyi. He apologized with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, President Zheng. Because of the negligence of the staff, I didn't have enough information. I made a mistake and made a fool of myself. Please don't take it to heart."
When Li Rui heard this, he thought to himself, as expected of a leader. This skill of shirking responsibility is really practiced to the point of perfection. At this time, he can still push the blame to others. I really have to hand it to him.
Zheng Yongyi reached out her delicate hand and shook it lightly with him. Then, she retracted her hand and said, "Mayor Han, you don't have to apologize. I don't mind."
She also spoke with a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent. Her intonation was strange, but her voice was sweet and pleasant to the ear.
Li Rui remembered that this hotel company was invested and controlled by a hotel group in Hong Kong. Then, he linked it to President Zheng's Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent. Could it be that this young and beautiful President Zheng came from Hong Kong?
On the other side, Han Song began to feed Zheng Yongyi soup. "President Zheng is so young, but you're already the vice president of a hotel group. You're really young and promising. Haha, it's rare for you to be so magnanimous. Haha, my admiration for President Zheng …"
