Chapter 1449: Zhang Longjuan is here

It's nine o'clock.

The sun is getting higher.

The square in front of the city center park is warm, and the weather is excellent.

"Not much time left."

"Hurry up with the project details."

"Get the English version printed for them."

"Where are those college graduates from our unit? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Be smarter in a while. The district has already given orders; make sure to retain people."

"Show the best attitude. This task is not ordinary; we need everyone in top shape. If there's a mistake, accountability will be at the individual level."

"Yes, Director Ma."

"Quick, everyone, move!"

"The delegation from the foreign company should be here before noon."

"Good; as soon as the delegation arrives, everyone studies them carefully and comes up with targeted solutions and breakthroughs in all aspects."

"Yes, Director Chen."

"We guarantee to complete the task."

"What are you waiting for? Don't wait. Those who know English, get ready."

The noise was incessant, with the voices of various county investment leaders shouting instructions and the busy responses of their subordinates. It was not quite on the city side either. Initially, Deputy Mayor Hua Liang wouldn't stay at the investment promotion meeting the entire time, but he broke the norm this time. He sat in a temporary tent next to the rostrum, seeming prepared to work and stay there all day. Lu Weiguo was on the side making phone calls, chattering away to someone, and people kept coming in through the park gate, some of them being temporary reinforcements and others being investment promotion staff with good English skills. Everyone rushed over, creating a tense atmosphere.

However, in Zhen Shui County, it was a completely different scene.

"Director Chang."

"What's up, Xiao Gong?"

"Can I borrow your mirror? I forgot to bring mine."

"Hehe, of course, here, take this one."

"Mayor Dong, things are almost sorted out. We're just waiting for the investors to arrive."

"Alright. Let's all take a break then. Old Zheng, have a smoke."

The leader clearly couldn't win the argument against Chang Juan and retorted, "You're just causing trouble."

Chang Juan remained unyielding, "Who's causing trouble? I'm just ignoring you. You got excited by yourself. Are you addicted to finding fault with others?"

The leader found himself outnumbered and couldn't argue with them.

Finally, Dong Xuebing spoke, looking at him, "If you want to cancel our booth, fine. List the serious mistakes we've made, then submit it for approval. If the order comes down from above, we won't say a word, pack up, and leave. Right now, there's no such approval. If you have nothing else, we're busy and won't bother you. Okay?"

Nearby exhibitors heard this, giving them a few glances. But everyone was busy with their matters, not caring much about others. They exchanged some words but were occupied with their work.

"Where did this Mayor Dong come from?"

"He speaks too bluntly, a bit uncultured."

"He's not being polite with the investment promotion leader from the city, sighs."

"They brought it upon themselves. This is the City Investment Promotion Event. You might not attract any investment if you don't build a good relationship with the responsible team."

"Yeah, he's too straightforward."

"Zhen Shui County is in trouble this time."

"They won't be able to retrieve a single penny. Let's see how they explain it to the county."

Due to Zhen Shui County collectively staying in a presidential suite that was much more expensive than everyone else, other investment promotion personnel from different counties harbored animosity toward them. The conflict focused on Zhen Shui County, and people from other counties enjoyed watching their misfortune.

Ring, ring, ring.

Dong Xuebing's phone rang.

Checking the number, he ignored the investment promotion leader, who had been silenced, moving a bit away to answer the call. "Hello, Sister Zhang."

"Where are you?"

"In our city. How about you? Your phone was off earlier."

"I turned it off while on the plane."

"You've arrived in the city."

"Yeah, I'm here."

"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier? I would have arranged for a car to pick you up."

"No need. I said I wanted to give our handsome boy a surprise. Wait for it."
