It's not dark yet, and the sunset makes the sky very bright.
Seeing this star-studded lineup, the people outside were not as calm as the civil servants in the park, and many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Ellen!"
"Liu Han!"
"Ah! Chen Ying!"
"Teacher Zhou is here too!"
"Did I see it wrong? Why are there so many celebrities?"
The celebrities have gotten used to it and continue to chat and laugh with each other, without feeling awkward at all.
Dong Xuebin was on the contrary. He was very vigilant. He also called some staff from Jiao Neighbor County to follow him in advance, fearing that he would be surrounded by fans. Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen after entering the hotel. The common people
He was still very restrained, which made Dong Xuebin feel relieved.
Then the hotel waiter screamed.
Dong Xuebin ignored it automatically and took the people to the big box. There were about forty people sitting at four tables, most of them were comrades from the song and dance troupe.
It's time to eat.
Dong Xuebin filled up his glass and raised his glass. Suddenly, Zhang Dongfang also came in. He was also here to socialize with investors. The hotels are all nearby, making it easy to move around.
"Lao Zhang, you came just in time." Dong Xuebin said with a smile.
Zhang Dongfang was also holding a wine glass in his hand, "Haha, it's better to come early than to come by chance. I just heard the waiter said you were here, so I hurried over."
Dong Xuebin said one after another: "Then Lao Zhang and I will toast everyone."
Zhang Dongfang also said: "Thank you all for visiting our neighboring county. It's a great honor."
"Secretary Dong and County Magistrate Zhang are so polite. It's just a favor. It's a little effort." Everyone also picked up their cups and stood up. Some drank drinks, some drank beer, some drank red wine. Anyway, they all drank with Dong Xuebin and the others.
They were all happy and no one was confused.
The atmosphere was good and we had a few chats.
Finally, Zhang Dongfang looked at Dong Xuebin, "Xuebin."
Dong Xuebin stopped talking when he saw him. He also understood. He said to Meng Hanmei: "Lao Meng, please accompany everyone, I will go out for a while."
"Okay." Meng Hanmei said.
Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang came out of the private room.
As soon as he got outside, Dong Xuebin asked: "What's wrong, Lao Zhang?"
Zhang Dongfang breathed in and said: "Mr. Zhang who came with several foreign stars, could he be Mr. Zhang Longjuan of that American investment group?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Yes. Do you also know her?"
Zhang Dongfang said: "More than just knowing. That investment group is also very famous abroad. I didn't understand the situation at first. When someone just recognized Mr. Zhang when we were eating next to him, and we started chatting, I vaguely heard about it.
I still can’t believe it. That investment group is a big crocodile. You and Mr. Zhang have known each other for a long time? If their company wants to invest in our county, then..."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Xuan, it's best not to get your hopes up, but we'll see when the time comes. If you can get it, naturally try your best." Dong Xuebin actually didn't want to trouble Zhang Longjuan to help them invest this time. Last time he was in a poor county.
I just invited Sister Zhang to help and invested more than 100 million. This time I have troubled Sister Zhang to find so many foreign stars. Dong Xuebin can't ask for anything else, although it is his company that has his shares.
, but Dong Xuebin has never wanted to admit these shares. Helping Sister Zhang on the gambling boat was entirely out of personal friendship, and he had no intention of taking the money he earned. "By the way, I haven't said hello to the investors yet.
As we go, I'll make a toast too."
The investors' box is right next to it.
Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang went in.
"Hey, Secretary Dong is here."
"Haha, Brother Dong, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Come on, let's have a drink, I'd like to toast you, Secretary Dong."
Dong Xuebin hurriedly said: "No, this cup should be from me to everyone."
When Zhang Dongfang was here, the investors only talked politely and the atmosphere was not so lively. But as soon as Dong Xuebin came in, Wei Zhixuan and several county leaders and county cadres present all noticed with a wry smile that the atmosphere suddenly changed. Everyone seemed to be confused.
It feels like I have known Dong Xuebin for many years. This is the role of Secretary Dong in connecting with each other at the airport. He is indeed very good at this.
A cup of...
Three cups...
Five cups...
Dong Xuebin was not ambiguous at all, and he was enjoying himself cup after cup.
Everyone likes happy people. Seeing that Dong Xuebin, a county party committee secretary, actually drank with them like this, everyone had a better impression of him. That was liquor, or Maotai liquor.
"good!"
"Come again!"
"Secretary Dong has a good drinker!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "I can't drink well either. Today I am mainly happy that everyone is here. I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman. I have to drink no matter how many cups!"
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said: "Ha, then I will respect you too."
At this time, Zhang Dongfang and many leading cadres had to admit that although Dong Xuebin had a bad temper, his work ability was really unparalleled. He could get closer to investors with just a few words and how many cups.
He could drink the wine without changing his expression. Big bosses of investment groups like Zhang Longjuan came over in person. Liu Han and other domestic celebrities came to support them. Even Chen Ying, who was not invited, came on her own initiative and even asked from the boss -
The political, singing, and dancing troupe has invited some people. How much dignity does this bring to Secretary Dong?
After having a good time, Dong Xuebin also found an excuse to withdraw.
…
Outside.
A clerk from the county government office was talking to the restaurant owner.
"Boss, give us a discount. We've been paying for our meals with you these days, so there must be a discount," the clerk said.
"This... we have already given an internal price. This is what we said when we negotiated before. We don't dare to make money from our county at all. It is all cost price." The boss also told the truth, and he was sure that the county would save face.
You have to give it, but you can't lose money.
Dong Xuebin heard it when he was passing by. He seemed to be bargaining and looked over, "What's wrong?"
When the clerk saw that it was Secretary Dong, his face immediately became serious, and then he said bitterly, "Secretary, uh, yes... I want the hotel to give us a discount. After all, our funds are a bit... insufficient this time.
There is basically not much left now." The only two million that can be used is almost all the money spent on the stage alone, plus the travel expenses, food and accommodation for investors and celebrities, so it is a bit stretched.
Just save a little bit.
Dong Xuebin said yes, knowing that funds were tight this time, "Boss."
"Secretary Dong." The restaurant owner also knew who he was, and he was secretly complaining in his heart. If the county party secretary asked for credit, he had no choice but to agree. He had heard of this kind of thing more than once, and the leader would suffer.
It's normal to pay for meals on credit, and we've become accustomed to it, but this time it's not a small amount. The boss can still afford to pay for a few people to eat a few meals, but it's a bit... for so many people to eat for so many days...
But Dong Xuebin obviously has no intention of taking credit, and he is not this kind of person. From the time he entered the system to the present, Dong Xuebin has not even reimbursed his employer for eating out. Yes, not even once. He has paid for everything himself.
, He didn’t have that kind of habit, and he didn’t need this little money. He said: “The food is good and tastes good. Our county’s meals have been provided at your restaurant these two days. Well, are they free for us?”
"Ah?" The boss was dumbfounded, "Free?"
Several people from the surrounding county government offices almost fainted.
Dong Xuebin said: "I won't let you get it for free. Do you think this will work? Have you seen the celebrities we invited?"
The boss blinked and said: "I saw it, they are all big names." He was shy enough to ask for autographs just now. He especially liked the TV series starring Chen Ying.
Dong Xuebin nodded, this will be easy to handle, "When the celebrities leave the hotel later, I will ask someone to take a photo of your hotel name with everyone. We will add this shot to the morning and evening newspapers tomorrow. I believe it on the Internet
There will also be reprints soon.”
Needless to say.
It’s hard to go into detail about this.
The boss understood immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said without thinking, "Okay! We've covered all the meals for you, the leaders, and the guest stars these days!"
Dong Xuebin said: "Drinks too?"
"Including drinks, everything is free!" The boss agreed happily.
Zhang Dongfang, who came out later, and Chen Ying, who was going to the bathroom, also heard it.
People from the county government office and several investment promotion bureaus present were also speechless. They felt that Secretary Dong was being too picky. They just wanted to get a discount and save a little money. Who would have thought that Dong Xuebin would get it for free if he asked for it, and he would also use celebrity brand names to make it?
Soft advertising, no matter what you think, is not what a county party committee secretary should do, but looking at Dong Xuebin's expression of obvious indifference, everyone is convinced anyway, okay, you have attracted so many celebrities to appear for not only a penny.
No fees were paid, but now you are using the popularity of celebrities to save their food money? Are you also squeezing out the food money of investors and their staff in neighboring counties?
Too stingy!
I’ve never seen anyone so stingy!
And why does it sound a bit wicked??
After it was done, Dong Xuebin turned around and left, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Ying, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Ahem, Chen Ying is here too."
Chen Ying couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Old classmate, you are too..."
Zhang Dongfang quickly said, "Our conditions are limited and there is nothing we can do."
Let the celebrities even hear it, and the people in Jiao Neighbor County are a little embarrassed, a little blushing, and embarrassing.
Dong Xuebin didn't feel too embarrassed. After all, Chen Ying had a special relationship with him. They were classmates. The two walked aside alone and walked to the bathroom together. Dong Xuebin said: "Old classmate, don't you envy me now? Where is the county party secretary?"
It's such a good job, I have to take care of food, drink, this and that. If I don't have money, I have to ask for it. If I don't have enough money, I have to save. Ahem, just pretend you didn't hear me, don't tell others.
"
Chen Ying was happy, "Okay, I know, haha, I just think it's funny. It's really not easy for you to be the county party secretary." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
