Chapter 1434: Zhen Shui County’s secluded exhibition counter
Two days later.
Saturday, early in the morning, around five o'clock.
Most of the sky was still dark, with a faint hint of dawn spreading at the horizon. The streetlights cast a halo on the streets.
Dong Xuebing left his house, got into his car, and called Zhang Longjuan.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, are you busy?"
"Not at all. Haha, what's up, my little handsome guy?"
"I just wanted to confirm the time and number of tickets for the flight with you."
"Considering the time difference, it's still early morning there. Why are you up so early?"
"Yeah, today is the investment promotion conference. I must rush to the city later, so I must leave early. I should have prepared yesterday, but there were some issues on the city's side. The venue hasn't been secured yet, so it got delayed today. There's still much to do, so I must discuss the flight details with you first. Should I book three tickets for your company's senior management as well?"
"Don't worry about the plane tickets."
"We can reimburse here."
"Such a small amount of money. I can afford it."
"Well then, what are your plans?"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
"Haha, look at the time. I'll give you a surprise when the time comes."
"Any surprise is fine, just make sure you can come. We'll discuss the timing later."
"Don't worry. I will come. But I have to arrange things here first. The timing is uncertain yet. Wait for my message."
"Alright, I know you're busy. No rush."
"No hurry is fine. Haha, let's stop here. I got another call coming in."
"Alright. You do your thing. Call me when the time is confirmed."
While he spoke casually, Dong Xuebing wasn't as indifferent in his heart. The estimated plan had undergone significant changes, and Dong Xuebing now wanted to swallow the reassurance pill as soon as possible. However, Sister Zhang's way of doing things was reliable, and they had a deep relationship. There shouldn't be any changes. With this in mind, Dong Xuebing felt more at ease. While driving, he made another call.
"Hello, City Investment Promotion Bureau."
"I'm Dong Xuebing, in charge of investment promotion in Zhen Shui County."
"Oh, Mayor Dong. We were just about to inform you."
"Is the venue ready? We can come over now."
"Yes, everything is ready. You can come over now. Remember the address, It's at the Central Park on South Street Second Avenue."
"Central Park?"
"This investment promotion conference is quite large, and there wasn't a large venue available, so they decided at the last minute to set up facilities and booths in Central Park."
"Alright, I got it."
"The investment promotion conference starts at 9 a.m. Hurry over."
Ten minutes later.
In the courtyard of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
Dong Xuebing's car arrived, and he got out after parking.
"Who are you?"
"I'm from Zhen Shui County."
"How should I address you?"
"Dong Xuebing."
The person was slightly surprised, probably having heard of Dong Xuebing's name, giving him a deep look. He immediately searched through a box nearby and handed him a work permit. "Your access pass."
Dong Xuebing took it. "Good, thank you."
"The exhibition area for Zhen Shui County is at the back."
"Just keep going inside?"
"Yes, keep going straight along this road."
Dong Xuebing nodded, using one hand to clip the access pass to his clothes, making it look formal. This pass was designed to better maintain order at the venue, preventing unrelated people from entering. It also differentiated identities because most investment promotion staff from one county or district wouldn't recognize those from another. If the people from Zhen Shui County caught hold of the investment promotion staff from Cheng Gang County, for example, thinking they were investors and kept handing out flyers, it could be embarrassing. With the work permit, everything became more convenient, at least giving a clear identity at a glance.
Inside the park.
Green grass surrounded them; it was morning, so the air was very fresh.
The park had a considerable area, including small hills. However, it seemed that the rear mountain wasn't the venue for this event. Most booths were concentrated in the front square as soon as they entered.
Walking and walking.
Walking and walking.
Dong Xuebing looked around at the booths on both sides and surprisingly didn't find the sign for Zhen Shui County.
It wasn't until he walked for about three or four minutes that he saw Zheng Dayou, Chang Juan, Gong Na, and others. He was slightly stunned; they seemed to be arguing with someone.
"It's too far."
"There's no space in front anymore."
"But we can't be assigned here."
"It's not too biased. Investors will visit every corner."
"Then why are our booths an exception at Zhen Shui County compared to others?"
"Director Zheng, this is the exhibition area arranged by higher-ups. It doesn't matter how much you shout at me; I'm just a messenger. The booths have already been booked, and we can't change it now."
"Who made the arrangement?"
"Mayor Hua made the arrangement."
The staff member said a few more words and left.
Leaving a group of Zhen Shui County Investment Promotion Bureau staff members with gloomy faces.
Dong Xuebing's expression also darkened when he heard it. He looked at the booth with Zhenshui County's sign hanging, almost at the bottom of the small hill. It was the farthest and worst location among all the booths. Even the temporarily built booths were lower quality than others, with old tables and chairs.
Different treatment.
Arranged by Deputy Mayor Hua Li.
Enough is enough. This guy hasn't finished yet. Why didn't he notify me in advance of the Investment Promotion Conference? Now he's playing this nasty trick on me.
Dong Xuebing was a little annoyed. He hadn't settled the account with Hua Li for Hui Lan's incident yet, and he didn't expect the other party to be fed up with him several times first.
