After Ye Ming said those words, Zhang Jiankun didn't say a word anymore. He kept leaning his head on the back of the car, with a gloomy face and closed his eyes to rest. Ye Ming didn't take the initiative to answer him, and sat calmly on the other side, his eyes
Keep looking out the car window
Glancing a few times, she watched the scenery on both sides with great interest. Su Xueling was already very preoccupied, so when she saw that they were silent, she didn't bother to find anything to say. She stared at the distant mountains and rivers in front of the car window, falling into a deep thought.
in a state of...
From this moment until the plane landed at the Capital Airport, Zhang Jiankun never looked at Ye Ming again, nor did he say another word to him...
At the pick-up port of the airport, Director Lou of the Min'an City Liaison Office in Beijing led a group of entrepreneurs to wait there early. I wonder if it was a deliberate arrangement by the Chamber of Commerce, but the entrepreneurs who picked up the airport this time all held signs to welcome them according to the county and city.
, on the far right is Director Lou, holding a sign saying "Warmly welcome Minister Zhang Jiankun and members of Min'an City Investment Promotion Group"
On the left side of Director Lou is a businessman representative, holding a sign saying "Warmly welcome Secretary Su of the Min'an District Committee and Director Liu of the Investment Promotion Bureau"; further to the left are businessmen representatives from several other counties and cities.
Each representative held a sign welcoming the county secretary and investment promotion bureau director, except for Beishan County.
Ye Ming knew that Zhang Jiankun would definitely tell the entrepreneurs in Beishan that he insisted on his own opinions and was unwilling to compromise before getting on the plane. He also estimated that they would find ways to embarrass him, but he did not expect that they would arrange a "humiliation" so quickly.
"My own farce has only added a bit more contempt and anger towards Zhang Jiankun in my heart!"
Several other county and city secretaries also noticed Ye Ming's predicament and looked at him with complicated eyes, with different expressions on their faces: some sympathetic, some surprised, some gloating, some complacent...all kinds of things.
There are so many different expressions!
Su Xueling followed Ye Ming closely. When she saw that Beishan County was the only one missing from the welcome signs, she immediately understood the reason. She looked up at Zhang Jiankun at the front who was shaking hands with Director Lou and the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, her eyes filled with emotion.
A trace of disgust
She had a look of hatred, but this look was fleeting. She turned to look at Ye Ming, who was walking side by side with her. Seeing that he had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't take this cold treatment and humiliation into his heart, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
I admire Dingli for being unfazed...
When Ye Ming and Su Xueling walked out of the airport, an old man in his sixties with gleaming eyes, accompanied by Zhang Jiankun, Director Lou and several other businessmen, quickly came over and greeted Su Xueling warmly and shook hands.
, and said in a powerful voice that was very inconsistent with his age: "Xiao Su, I called Minister Zhang two days ago.
At this Chamber of Commerce’s inaugural meeting, I must invite you, a famous Flower Drum Opera master, to come over and add luster to our celebration. I said it the last time we met: I started listening to Flower Drum Opera when I was seven or eight years old and have been listening to it for nearly six years.
For ten years, I have to listen to a classic Huagu Opera piece almost every day before I can fall asleep. I am considered a typical Huagu Opera enthusiast.
"I used to like listening to Li Guyi, Ling Guokang, Xiao Chong, Zhao Juyun and other teachers' plays. But after you debuted and became famous more than ten years ago, I became your most loyal fan. I have collected videos of all the Flower Drum Opera pieces you performed.
, take it out often
Come and have a listen. The last time we met, I sang a duet of "Tending the Pot" with you. This time I am going to sing a duet of "Liu Hai Chops Woodcutter" with you at the celebration to satisfy me, a long-time Huagu opera fan.
My long-cherished wish, hahaha!”
As soon as Ye Ming heard the old man's words, he knew that he must be Qiu Haiyun, the president of the Min'an Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Jiankun, Director Lou and several businessmen who were following Qiu Haiyun saw Qiu Haiyun laughing heartily, so they joined in the fun and clapped and laughed along with him.
Then, Qiu Haiyun pointed to several other businessmen following him and said to Su Xueling: "Xiao Su, this Mr. Liu Hong and Mr. * are all from Beishan. You have known each other four years ago. I will
I won’t introduce them anymore. The others are also well-known entrepreneurs from Min’an and are directors of the Chamber of Commerce. Let me introduce them to you one by one.”
Then, he introduced several other businessmen to Su Xueling.
When Ye Ming saw Liu Hong and other Beishan entrepreneurs, they were indeed in the welcoming team, but they deliberately did not hold up a sign to welcome him, the Beishan County Party Committee Secretary. He became even more convinced that this was a deliberate arrangement by Zhang Jiankun, Liu Hong, and others, and felt deeply in his heart
His anger became even more uncontrollable, but his face remained expressionless as he stood silently and watched with cold eyes...
After Su Xueling waited for Qiu Haiyun to introduce everyone, she quickly returned to Ye Ming, smiled and said to Qiu Haiyun, Liu Hong and others: "Bosses, this is our Beishan County Party Committee Secretary Ye. Secretary Ye has just been promoted to Beishan not long ago.
, you may not know it, so I will take the liberty to introduce it.”
Qiu Haiyun then turned his attention to Ye Ming, the smile on his face did not diminish, but his eyes clearly showed a bit of disdain. He politely extended his hand to Ye Ming, saying "Nice to meet you", but his expression was full of disdain.
There is no meaning of "nice to meet you" at all.
Liu Hong saw that Su Xueling solemnly introduced Ye Ming and Qiu Haiyun shook hands with Ye Ming again, so he had no choice but to go over and shake hands with Ye Ming, and said a few polite words such as "Long time admirer" with a smile on his face.
He said something cliché, then quickly stepped aside and stood with Zhang Jiankun.
Ye Ming had been tempered into steel at this time, and he had a calm mentality of "the mountain collapsed but the color remained unchanged". Although he knew that Liu Hong and others were ordered by Zhang Jiankun and deliberately ignored and humiliated him, when he shook hands with them,
He was still smiling all over his face, as if he didn't take today's cold reception seriously, which made Liu Honghe* feel a little nervous. He couldn't figure out what this young and calm county party secretary was thinking...
When driving to the hotel where the welcome banquet was held, Ye Ming once again encountered embarrassment: Zhang Jiankun and other city leaders, as well as secretaries of other counties and cities, and directors of investment promotion bureaus, were all dragged into their luxury cars by business representatives from their own counties.
, only he, the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, had no one to invite him to take the car. He could only go with the accompanying service personnel and journalists to take the minibus run by the Min'an Office in Beijing.
Su Xueling had already been dragged by Qiu Haiyun to sit in his Bentley Flying Spur, but when she saw Ye Ming mixed in with a group of service staff and journalists, and was about to follow those people into the car, she quickly turned around and walked back, following Ye Ming, preparing to get in.
Minibus.
Director Lou from the Beijing Office hurriedly ran over and said: "Director Su, Chairman Qiu has invited you and Minister Zhang to take his car. Come over quickly, the car is waiting for you."
Su Xueling said coldly: "Director Lou, I came here to attract investment with Secretary Ye. My duty is to be a good assistant to Secretary Ye and do a good job in service. I am not here to accompany the leaders and bosses in luxury cars, drinking and singing.
Please tell Chairman Qiu and Minister Zhang: I appreciate their kindness, but I cannot forget my identity and responsibilities. Thank you!"
