Chapter 1874 [Waited for a Long Time and Did Not Come? 】

afternoon.

After four o'clock.

The sun just came into Dong Xuebin's temporary office, Dong Xuebin lit a cigarette and leaned his butt on the desk, squinting and basking in the sun, feeling warm and comfortable.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The person who came in was Meng Hanmei, "Secretary."

Dong Xuebin looked at her, "Someone is here? Didn't it say more than six o'clock?"

Meng Hanmei gasped and said, "No, no one's here, it's because the phone arrived, the translator from the British-Chinese exchange group brought it from their country and called the county party committee office, and then the call was transferred to me, and the translator was also there. I don't know where they got it from the UK. They don't speak Mandarin very well, and there was a noise on the phone. After talking to him for a long time, I finally understood. He asked us what food we prepared for the evening. I said it was a western restaurant, it should be I agree with their appetite, but the translator said that they have been eating Western food for a long time, and they are tired of it. When they came to the Republic, they wanted to taste the food of the Republic. They also said that this is what those British-Republicans proposed. Let us prepare now. ."

Dong Xuebin looked at his watch, "What time is it?"

Meng Hanmei was also very unhappy: "Yeah, it's already this time, where are you going to prepare them to go, if you don't say it sooner or later, you have to say it when you have to come soon!"

Dong Xuebin said: "It seems that they don't understand what it means to follow the customs of the countryside. They really regard themselves as uncles.

Meng Hanmei said: "I couldn't refute it on the phone. Later, someone from the city answered. I don't know who it was. It should be a cadre of the city government. Anyway, the meaning is to let us entertain foreign guests. According to the meaning of the foreign guests, what can I say? I can only agree."

Dong Xuebin was very annoying. Isn't this group of people making trouble? He suppressed the fire and said, "There is still more than an hour left?"

Meng Hanmei snorted, "The translator said that in another hour, I have already met and had lunch with some investment groups in the city. The next stop is our place."

"Is it too late to change the hotel now?" Dong Xuebin asked.

"I don't know. Ten people and 20 people are okay. If we include our own people, we have 40 or 50 people this time, and we have to pack a banquet hall or something. We can't eat with other diners. Time is sure... I can only say try it." Meng Hanmei said.

Dong Xuebin said: "try it and do it as well as possible."

Meng Hanmei didn't say much.

"Okay, then I'll go quickly."

As soon as she goes. Dong Xuebin also went out smoking a cigarette. He happened to see Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, talking while walking. Dong Xuebin said, "Secretary Zhang, Secretary Wei."

"Secretary Dong." Both of them turned their heads.

Dong Xuebin informed them: "The meeting place has changed, it is no longer the western restaurant before."

Wei Zhixuan was startled, "Isn't it all set?"

Dong Xuebin said: "Lao Meng just got the letter. It's already booked, but the British people are not satisfied, let's change the place, saying that we don't want to eat Western food, we don't know where the place is, Lao Meng has already gone to Zhangluo, Wait for Lao Meng to fix the place. Then let everyone go there."

Zhang Dongfang frowned and said, "I've already had people set up banners, so I'll call them back quickly, alas, this is a mess."

Wei Zhixuan muttered unhappily, "Foreigners just have too many things to do."

Dong Xuebin also felt a little bit, "Tomorrow people will leave, you can fool them."

The three chatted and got along fairly well. Contrary to the previous tit-for-tat scene of the first standing committee, the current Dong clan and Zhang clan have entered an ambiguous period, or a period of relaxation. Both sides are more restrained, so nothing has been caused. Other disputes have maintained a balanced stage for the time being, which is a good sign. No county has been able to thrive in an environment of constant leadership struggles.

...

Not before six o'clock.

Meng Hanmei only decided on the location of the restaurant, and she also had the identity of the county party committee there. She temporarily emptied the restaurant and left the banquet hall to them, although she was a little sorry for those who booked there in advance. . But there is no way, foreign guests are the most important thing.

Knowing the location, everyone rushed over.

Arranging the venue, getting banners and the like, was a mess.

Those British-Americans said a simple sentence, but they didn't think about how long it would take to be in the county because of their words.

Just barely managed to catch up.

This is one of the best restaurants in Jiaolin County, and it is also very stylish.

In front of the hotel, Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang stood at the outermost, and the rest were some cadres at the back, deputy secretary Wei Zhixuan, director of the county party committee office Meng Hanmei, executive deputy county magistrate Xu Zhuang, deputy county magistrate Song Hefei, etc., etc. In addition to some standing committee members of the county party committee, cadres from most relevant departments also came, and there were also investors and many entrepreneurs from neighboring counties who were recruited by the county government. There were only thirty or forty people.

Xu Zhuang looked into the distance and said, "Is anyone here?"

A staff member of the county government said: "Xu county magistrate, I haven't arrived yet."

"It should be almost right?" Wei Zhixuan also looked at his watch, "It's already six o'clock, what time did you agree?"

Meng Hanmei said: "The notice above is to arrive at the hotel around six o'clock. Maybe there is a traffic jam on the road. Well, it should be here soon."

wait.

What else can I do?

five minutes……

ten minutes……

twenty minutes……

But it was almost half past six, and I was waiting left and right, and I didn't even see the team coming.

If all the people here are ordinary people, it’s fine, just wait, but the problem is that everyone from the county party secretary to the county cadres is there, except for these civil servants, and the county is called only because of human relationships. A dozen or so entrepreneurs, let them stand here dryly for half an hour? ?

Many leaders have been blackened.

Those entrepreneurs also became impatient. Which of them is not worth tens of millions? Waiting outside for so long in the cold world? If it wasn't for the sake of the county, they would have left by now!

Dong Xuebin's face was also ugly, "Call! Ask!"

Meng Hanmei was in charge of contacting this matter, so she took out her mobile phone and called there, "Hello, I'm Meng Hanmei from Jiaolin County."

There was a middle-aged man at the other end, "Oh, Director Meng."

Meng Hanmei said: "I want to ask, when will the exchange group arrive?"

This person was obviously a city cadre. Hearing the words, he said: "Hey, look at my memory, I just told you to inform you, but I forgot it in a hurry. They don't go to your county for dinner at night, and the exchange group suddenly changed. I made up my mind, I want to eat with the city, but the accommodation will still go to your place, I should be there before eight o'clock." (To be continued...)
