"The Xingsheng Group people have arrived!"
Hotel entrance.
Soone exclaid loudly.
ng Changhai imdiately looked into the distance, spotting three black cars approaching from afar, the first and last cars being luxury rcedes S-Class vehicles, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom in the middle.
The three cars had a commanding presence, instantly drawing all attention.
The waiting journalists also pointed their caras at the three cars.
Once the cars stopped, six bodyguards in black got out of the two rcedes, along with an elderly man in his sixties. Despite his graying hair, he exuded extraordinary poise.
He looked like a butler and opened the right rear door of the Rolls-Royce.
The next mont.
Ye Qingxin, dressed in a black trench coat and wearing sunglasses, appeared in everyone’s view, regal as a swan.
Her stunning appearance and elegant deanor gave off a powerful oppressive aura.
Even though she was a woman, no one dared to underestimate her.
Seeing her.
ng Changhai hurriedly stepped forward, warmly extending both hands with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum: "Hello, Miss Ye, I am ng Changhai, the County Chief of Lianyun County. Welco to Lianyun County for investnt. On behalf of the Lianyun County governnt, I would like to sign a cooperation contract with you!"
Ye Qingxin took off her sunglasses, glanced at him in surprise, and spoke in a lodious yet cold voice: "Did I ever say I wanted to sign a contract with you?"
ng Changhai’s face was full of embarrassnt; he didn’t know whether to pull back his extended hand or not.
Ma Chengwen imdiately smoothed things over, saying: "Miss Ye, County Chief ng was genuinely pleased to learn that your company is coming to invest in Lianyun County. He personally arranged the hotel’s preparations..."
Ye Qingxin rcilessly interrupted him: "I don’t like discussing cooperation with n. Be it the county chief or even the county party secretary, it won’t change my decision."
At that, she looked around the surrounding people and said: "Why haven’t I seen Chief Bai?"
Ma Chengwen instantly panicked, not expecting Ye Qingxin to ntion Bai Lu, and imdiately said: "Chief Bai is unwell and is currently recuperating at ho."
Ye Qingxin realized: "Oh, that’s the case!"
Ma Chengwen continued: "Miss Ye, Chief Bai is but an assistant director at our bureau. For such a major cooperation project, naturally, the higher-ups of Lianyun County should..."
Ye Qingxin interrupted him once more: "I said, I don’t like discussing cooperation with n. Since Chief Bai is not here, let’s conclude today’s signing activity!" With that, she resolutely turned and headed towards the Rolls-Royce.
This scene completely left ng Changhai, Ma Chengwen, and other Yun County leaders dumbfounded, as no one anticipated Ye Qingxin’s firm stance, unwilling to cooperate with anyone other than Bai Lu.
It left them feeling caught in a dilemma, intending to have ng Changhai take the lead in signing the cooperation with Ye Qingxin, thus securing a political achievent.
However, the results were far from satisfactory!
Without further thought, ng Changhai gave Ma Chengwen a look, whispering: "Quickly bring this woman back, otherwise we’ll both face disciplinary action!"
Although he didn’t understand why Ye Qingxin insisted on signing the contract with Bai Lu, one thing was clear: if this cooperation failed, both of them would be reprimanded.
After all, a trillion-yuan project was explosive, not just in Lianyun County but nationwide.
"Miss Ye, please don’t leave, please wait!" Ma Chengwen, with a smile more painful than crying, blocked Ye Qingxin’s retreat and said: "I’ll imdiately send soone to fetch Chief Bai to sign the contract for you, alright?"
Ye Qingxin: "You have twenty minutes!"
"Alright, alright, I understand." Ma Chengwen quickly agreed, then stepped aside to call Bai Lu’s office.
Attempting to have Bai Lu co over directly.
However.
Bai Lu did not respond.
Hence, he called Bai Lu’s mobile phone, yet received no answer again.
This made Ma Chengwen as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Fool, don’t you understand? She’s deliberately not answering your call, she’s showing us who’s boss!" ng Changhai said, his face gloomy with anger, having spent so much effort, but ultimately achieving nothing.
Ma Chengwen was full of urgency: "Then what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Hurry and drive to fetch her! We must get her over!" ng Changhai raged.
"Alright, alright, I’ll go get Bai Lu right away." Ma Chengwen imdiately looked at the driver, then headed to the Investnt Promotion Bureau by car.
------
"You’re saying Ma Chengwen would personally invite to the Si Hai Hotel, is that true?" In the Investnt Promotion Bureau, Bai Lu couldn’t help but look at Xu Wendong.
She had actually heard the landline and mobile phone ringing, but Xu Wendong didn’t let her answer.
"He definitely will." Xu Wendong smiled broadly.
Although ng Changhai and Ma Chengwen intended to secure cooperation with Ye Qingxin for political gain, he was the real investor behind the scenes!
Bai Lu sighed with a bitter smile: "If Ma Chengwen really cos, it ans I’ve thoroughly torn our relationship apart!"
Xu Wendong replied indifferently: "What’s the big deal about tearing apart a relationship with soone like him?"
Bai Lu remained silent, always feeling that Xu Wendong oversimplified things.
After all.
Behind Ma Chengwen was County Chief ng Changhai!
Ten minutes later.
Ma Chengwen pushed open Bai Lu’s office door, panting heavily, with a tinge of displeasure in his eyes: "Chief Bai, why didn’t you answer my call earlier?"
Bai Lu feigned surprise: "Did Director Ma call ? Sorry, I didn’t bring my phone to the restroom earlier."
Pausing her speech, she then asked: "What’s the matter, Director Ma?"
Ma Chengwen’s face turned green with anger.
He knew Bai Lu was fully aware of why he was looking for her.
At this mont, she was rely playing dumb.
Taking a deep breath, he said: "I thought long and hard, and it’s best that you handle the signing ceremony with Xingsheng Group, given that Xingsheng Group initially contacted you."
"It would be rather disrespectful to Xingsheng Group if we took your place to sign the contract."
Xu Wendong piped up sarcastically: "It’s not just disrespectful to Xingsheng Group, right?"
"Who invited you to speak?" Ma Chengwen glared at Xu Wendong.
Though he didn’t dare to rip into Bai Lu.
A re driver was not soone he took seriously.
Xu Wendong’s smile remained unchanged, not taking Ma Chengwen seriously at all.
After all, when a stray dog barked at you on the street, you couldn’t possibly bark back, could you?
Anxiously, Ma Chengwen turned to Bai Lu: "Chief Bai, hurry, they’re waiting for you to sign the contract. If they don’t see you, this cooperation might fall through!"
Regret welled up in Ma Chengwen’s heart.
Had he anticipated this, he wouldn’t have interfered with the project from the start.
Without which, how would he be reduced to pleading with Bai Lu for the signing today?
