Chapter 1874 [Waiting for a long time and no one came? 】
Afternoon. High-quality updates will be here
It's past four o'clock.
The sun just happened to shine into Dong Xuebin's temporary office, so Dong Xuebin lit a cigarette and leaned his butt on the desk, squinting in the sun, which felt warm and comfortable.
There was a knock on the door suddenly.
The person who came in was Meng Hanmei, "Secretary."
Dong Xuebin looked at her, "Here we come? Didn't it say it was after six o'clock?"
Meng Hanmei gasped: "No, the person didn't arrive, but the phone call came. The people from the British-UK exchange group brought a translator from their country to call the county party committee office. Later, the call was transferred to me, and the translator also
I don’t know where they got it from in the UK, and they didn’t speak Mandarin very well. In addition, there was noise on the phone. It took me talking to him for a long time before I understood. He asked us what food we had prepared for the evening. I said it was a Western restaurant, so I guess.
They agreed with their appetite, but the translator said that they had been eating Western food and were tired of it. When they came to the Republic, they wanted to try the dishes of the Republic. He also said that this was the idea of the British people. Let us prepare now.
.”
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch, "What time is it?"
Meng Hanmei was also very unhappy and said: "Yeah, it's already this time, where can we prepare for them to go? It's sooner or later than later. We have to come soon!"
Dong Xuebin said: "It seems that they don't understand what it means to do as the Romans do. They really regard themselves as uncles. They can do whatever they want and do whatever they want!"
Meng Hanmei said: "I couldn't refute on the phone. Later, someone from the city answered the phone. I don't know who it was. It should be a cadre from the municipal government office. Anyway, it means that we can entertain foreign guests well. Everything is fine."
According to the wishes of the foreign guests, high-quality updates are what I can say? I can only agree."
Dong Xuebin was quite annoyed. Aren't these people causing trouble? He suppressed his anger and said, "There's still more than an hour left for people to arrive?"
Meng Hanmei hummed, "The translator said that in one hour, we have already met some investment groups in the city and had lunch. Our next stop is here."
"Is it too late to change hotels now?" Dong Xuebin asked.
"I don't know, ten or twenty people are okay. Counting our own people, there will be forty or fifty people this time, and we also need to reserve a banquet hall. We can't eat with other diners, right?
?The time is definitely... I can only say that I will give it a try." Meng Hanmei said.
Dong Xuebin said: "Just give it a try. Try your best to do it well."
Meng Hanmei said no more, "Okay, then I'll go quickly."
As soon as she left, Dong Xuebin also went out smoking a cigarette. He happened to see Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan, deputy secretary of the county party committee, talking as they walked. Dong Xuebin said: "Secretary Zhang. Secretary Wei."
"Secretary Dong." Both of them turned around.
Dong Xuebin informed them: "The welcome location has changed. It is no longer the previous Western restaurant. The high-quality update is here."
Wei Zhixuan was startled, "Isn't everything settled?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Lao Meng just got the letter. We have made a reservation, but the British people are not satisfied and asked us to change places. They said we don't want to eat Western food. We don't know where the location is yet. Lao Meng has already gone to arrange it."
After Lao Meng has finished fixing the place, we will let everyone go there."
Zhang Dongfang frowned and said, "I've already sent people to decorate the banners, so I'll call them back quickly. Alas, this is a big deal."
Wei Zhixuan also muttered unhappily, "Foreigners have too many things to do."
Dong Xuebin also felt something, "They will leave tomorrow, so you can just fool them."
The three of them chatted and got along fairly well. It was completely opposite to the tit-for-tat fighting scene at the first meeting of the Standing Committee. Now the people of the Dong and Zhang families have entered a period of ambiguity, or relaxation.
During the period, both sides were relatively restrained, so they did not cause any other disputes. For the time being, a balanced stage was maintained. This is a good phenomenon. No county can continue to develop in an environment where fierce leadership battles continue.
…
It's less than six o'clock.
Meng Hanmei had just decided on the location of the hotel, and she was also a member of the county party committee. She temporarily cleared the hotel and left the banquet hall to them, although she felt a little sorry for the people who had booked there in advance.
, but there is nothing we can do, foreign guests are the most important.
Knowing the location, everyone rushed there.
Decorating the venue, setting up banners, etc., it was a complete mess.
Those British people's words were simple, but they never thought about how long the neighboring county would have to deal with because of their words.
I just managed to catch up.
This is one of the best hotels in Jiaolin County, and it is also very grand.
In front of the hotel, Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang stood at the outermost, followed by some cadres at the back, Deputy Secretary Wei Zhixuan, Director of the County Party Committee Meng Hanmei, Executive Deputy County Magistrate Xu Zhuang, Standing Committee Deputy County Magistrate Song Hefei, and so on, except for
In addition to some members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, most cadres from relevant departments also came, as well as investors and many entrepreneurs from neighboring counties that the county government had invited, a sparse number of thirty or forty people.
Xu Zhuang looked into the distance and asked, "Is anyone here yet?"
A county government staff member said: "County Magistrate Xu, we haven't arrived yet."
"It should be almost time, right?" Wei Zhixuan also looked at his watch, "It's already six o'clock, what time was it promised?"
Meng Hanmei said: "The notice from above is to arrive at the hotel around six o'clock. There may be a traffic jam on the road. Well, it should be here soon."
Just wait.
What else can be done?
five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
But it was almost half past six. I waited and waited, but I still didn’t see the motorcade coming.
It would be fine if all the people here were ordinary people, just wait and see. But the problem is that everyone from the county party committee secretary to the county cadres are here. In addition to civil servants like them, there are also people from the county who rely on personal relationships to call them.
A dozen entrepreneurs, and let them stand here dryly waiting for half an hour??
Many leaders have lost face.
Those entrepreneurs are all getting impatient. Which one of them is not worth tens of millions? Waiting outside for so long in the cold weather? If it weren't for the sake of the county, they would have walked away long ago!
Dong Xuebin also looked ugly, "Call! Ask!"
Meng Hanmei was the one who was in charge of contacting me about this matter, so she took out her cell phone and called there, "Hello, I'm Meng Hanmei from Jiao Neighbor County."
There was a middle-aged man on the other end, "Oh, Director Meng."
Meng Hanmei said: "I would like to ask, when will the people from the exchange group arrive?"
This person was obviously a cadre in the city. Hearing this, he said: "Hey, look at my memory. I just said I would inform you, but I forgot about it in a hurry. They didn't go to your county for dinner at night. The people in the exchange group suddenly changed.
I have decided to go to the city to eat, but I will still go to your place for accommodation. I should be able to arrive before eight o'clock." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
