Everyone had a lively meal in the small banquet hall, with big fish and meat, good smoke and good wine. It was rare to be so extravagant and wasteful. If it hadn't been for the purpose of entertaining foreign guests and city cadres, they wouldn't have booked such a banquet.
Lots of food and wine. Nowadays, it is very strict to check public funds for food and drink. No one wants to make a mistake because of this, let alone be criticized by the city and the province for this. This time, I really enjoyed it.
Of course, the atmosphere at the dinner table is not that of eating.
Because of what happened before, everyone has a knot in their hearts.
"Secretary Dong cursed again."
"Yes, and this time he is a city cadre."
"Khan, if we really go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, it will be really troublesome."
"It shouldn't be a big problem if you poke them. After all, they were the ones who neglected their duties in the first place. They can only criticize Secretary Dong's working methods. After all, even if Deputy Director Niu is a city cadre, he doesn't have to worry about it, and his level is not high.
Not as tall as Secretary Dong."
"What if it goes further to the higher-level Discipline Inspection Commission?"
"Have you forgotten what Secretary Dong did before he took office? He is a disciplinary inspection cadre, or a cadre of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He will definitely be able to get back, otherwise Secretary Dong will definitely not curse people. He has this confidence, you
Didn't you see Secretary Dong's expression? He didn't take it seriously at all."
"But the other person is accompanying a foreign guest, so the nature is different."
"Well, this is a foreign guest... This is really a bit troublesome."
"It's more than just a little troublesome? This has a huge impact. The province and the city attach great importance to the exchange of foreign guests this time. If something happens, there will be no way to deal with it."
While everyone was angry at the foreign guests, they were also very worried.
They are all civil servants, and they speak in a measured manner. Even when chatting, they dare not talk about too sensitive topics, but those entrepreneurs are different. They speak very freely. Many of them started out as farmers, have no education, and speak very politely.
Well, it's hard for them to talk about the city cadres, but they can still talk about the foreign guests, because no matter how important those British people are, they don't have any direct interest relationship with them, so they have no scruples about talking. In addition,
After drinking some wine, many people started to curse.
"These grandsons!"
"England! I've always disliked them!"
"That's right, when Lao Zhou and I applied for a tourist visa to the UK, it took us a month or two to get the visa, and finally it was approved for us. We didn't agree at all, and it ruined many of the things we had originally planned.
It was all messed up, and I was confused. It’s just a tourist visa. Is it so difficult? As for keeping people from our Republic out? Didn’t they come to the capital this time just to simplify the visa process? It seems that their attitude
It's good. But how about we talked for a long time? Have you all watched the news? After struggling for so long, we finally gave a specific time and there is no conclusion yet, which means we don't know when, let's wait! You call this
What's the matter? They don't welcome people from our Republic at all! They think we are their colony! They also look down on us! The British media has no positive reports on us! They even ask us to invest in them.
?Trying to make fun of his second eldest brother!"
"What Lao Zhang said is right. They do have a great prejudice against our country. Why did they take the initiative to simplify the visa process this time? It wasn't just for our money. They saw that we had more money, so they became jealous. But this time
They are begging us to invest, right? If you come to solicit investment, you must have an attitude of soliciting investment, right? But we have also seen what they are like! They all look like high-ranking nobles! If you want to come, let us know! If you don't want to come, we won't.
Come on! There’s no notice! This is a slap in our face!”
"The key is that the city is still supporting them in such a condescending manner. I really don't know what to think!"
"Begging us to invest in this attitude, those foreigners really don't treat us as human beings!"
"The above attitude is mostly due to political needs. Things here are complicated."
"Then you can't be so rude, right? Are you an exchange group? Does this have any meaning in communication? They are clearly here to boss us around! Look! Secretary Dong is going crazy!"
A group of entrepreneurs scolded the foreign guests in twos and threes, and there was also an element of Dong Xuebin in it, because as a county party committee secretary, Dong Xuebin had already expressed his anger in front of everyone. The county party committee secretary even cursed, and they cursed a lot.
It doesn't matter if you scold me.
During the meal, everyone was talking about this matter, and their attitude tendencies were almost the same. Everyone was disgusted with the attitude of the foreign guests and the people accompanying them in the city. But disgust is still disgust, and what needs to be done must still be done.
, seeing that it’s eight o’clock and the meal is finished, didn’t the city inform foreign guests that they want to stay here?
Meng Hanmei said: "Then I will arrange accommodation."
Zhang Dongfang urged: "Lao Meng, no matter how things go, we still have to suppress the situation. Those people will leave tomorrow and don't cause problems."
Meng Hanmei nodded, "I know."
But Dong Xuebin suddenly said: "What accommodation arrangements are there?"
Meng Hanmei was startled, "The hotel has already booked the foreign guests' accommodation for the night, I'll go check it out..."
Dong Xuebin interrupted directly: "Where to stay! You call now! Cancel all the reserved rooms for me!"
Zhang Dongfang, Wei Zhixuan and others were shocked when they heard this, and Meng Hanmei also said hurriedly: "Secretary, this... where will the foreign guests stay when they come?"
Dong Xuebin said coldly: "I don't care where they live! Live wherever they like! There is no place to sleep on the street! The county doesn't care about their accommodation! And Lao Meng! You don't have to pay the bill for this meal."
It's the county's account! You submit the bill to the city! Let the city reimburse it! It was originally a meal for foreign guests. If we give advance notice, we can cancel it. Now that we can't cancel it, we can only eat it ourselves. It's because the people in the city have neglected their duties.
The losses caused will naturally be borne by them, as a matter of course!"
Meng Hanmei said, "How about... the city for reimbursement?"
Everyone was stunned, they had never heard of such a thing!
But Dong Xuebin said matter-of-factly: "If you don't ask them for reimbursement, who can you ask for it? Hand the bill! Just hand it to Deputy Director Niu! Just say what I said!" In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for the city to reimburse them for this expense.
Yes, but this is Dong Xuebin's style of doing things. He is not doing it for reimbursement, not for the money, this guy is doing it to disgust Deputy Director Niu who just fucked them!
As for accommodation?
Get out of here, uncle!
I still care about your accommodation? That’s a great idea!
"Secretary, this..." Meng Hanmei smiled bitterly.
Dong Xuebin said forcefully: "Do as I say!" (To be continued)
