Noon.
Outside the airport.
A few people from the Investment Bureau and County TV Station were left guarding the place, while Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang went out and boarded an empty bus they rented. This is to pick up investors who are coming in the afternoon. Although their county air tickets are arranged to arrive around ten or eleven in the morning, there are also investors with special circumstances who do not have time to catch a flight in the morning, so many of them are arranged to arrive at noon and afternoon.

Dong Xuebin was able to sit for a while, so he walked to the front, opened the window, lit a cigarette and started smoking immediately, "Lao Zhang, how's it going at the train station?"
Zhang Dongfang sat next to him. He was a little tired from the whole morning's work, and his chubby face was covered with sweat. "It's been connected at the train station. I was contacted by phone just now. One wave is coming to our county, and another wave is on its way back to the county. Everything goes well." Li, and our local investors have basically gone directly to the arranged hotel. Neither of us can go back to the luncheon dinner, so we can only stay with Lao Wei. Well, can the actor come in the afternoon? Can we attend the dinner together in the evening? "
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch, "I'm very uncertain here. I don't know when people will arrive. I can't contact many of them and don't have contact information. I'll see if I can go back in the evening. I may not be able to attend the dinner. If not, you can go and say hello. Anyway, Culture Festival is opening tomorrow."
Zhang Dongfang said, "Can't contact you?" It doesn't sound reliable.
Dong Xuebin just asked someone to help. He really didn't know who could come and who couldn't come. He would have to make a few calls to confirm later.
"Secretary, County Chief, Boxed Lunch are here." A staff member ran into the car.
"Okay." Dong Xuebin is also hungry. After taking it, he broke it open with chopsticks and started eating.
Zhang Dongfang and several other cadres also took Boxed Lunch and ate it on Tour Bus. They ate very quickly because no one knew when work would start.
Just after eating, Dong Xuebin's cell phone rang. He put the lunch box in the car, picked it up and said, "Hey, who's there?"
"I'm Zhang Dongxing from Baohong Municipal Investment Bureau." The voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged man, and he actually spoke quite well.
Zhang Dongxing?
City Director of the Investment Bureau?
Dong Xuebin said oh, "Director Zhang."
Zhang Dongxing said, "Let me tell you. I know your Investment Promotion Culture Festival, but I didn't specify the time before, and I didn't give you a reply. Now that it's confirmed, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend tomorrow's party. There's something going on. I'll ask a deputy director of our bureau to go."
Dong Xuebin said again, "It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business." They were all on the same level, and there was nothing to be polite about.
But what Dong Xuebin said made Zhang Dongxing stunned for a moment. He thought Jiaolin County would say a few more words. After all, if I don't help them, it will definitely have some impact on their Investment Promotion Work. Some shrewd investors will take into account the relationship between Jiaolin County and the city. Who would think that Dong Xuebin doesn't even fight for it. Instead, you said "it's okay" to keep him busy? No wonder the city leaders don't like to see this County Party Secretary, he is so speechless, he is simply a thorn in the side.
"That's it." Zhang Dongxing was not interested in talking to him anymore.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xuebin was even less interested than him, so he said yes and hung up the phone first.
Dong Xuebin is not angry. I didn't think anything of it, but this phone call made Zhang Dongxing a little angry. Originally Zhang Dongxing thought he was a nobody, Jiaolin County had to point at him and beg him, but to his surprise, Dong Xuebin didn't take him seriously at all, and even sounded like he was expecting him Zhang Dongxing not to attend tomorrow, which Zhang Dongxing couldn't accept. Doesn't your mother pay too little attention to me? The Power of Time and Wealth 1912
On the bus.
Zhang Dongfang looked over, "Zhang Dongxing?"
"It's him." Dong Xuebin said calmly, "It means he won't come because he won't have time tomorrow."
Zhang Dongfang frowned, "I think we should talk about it later, or else I can ask the deputy mayor in charge?"
Dong Xuebin still thinks the same, "No need to ask, we welcome people when they come, and we won't force them if they don't come. We Investment Promotion Culture Festival can do it this time without anyone else!"
Zhang Dongfang insisted. "It can be done, but the effect is estimated to be..."
"Lao Zhang, listen to me on this matter." Dong Xuebin said confidently, "Don't worry about the guest leaders, I promise they will be indispensable. Now I am worried that there are not enough chairs at Central Park." After that, he called Su Yan, "Xiao Su, how many seat tickets have you prepared?"
Su Yan blinked, "I made two thousand pictures. This is the limit after taking into account the space of the venue. It can be less, but it must not be more."
Dong Xuebin said yes, "Then take two thousand tickets. Take my words with you. In addition to leaving these tickets to the investors attending the meeting, they will also be distributed to our county cadres. We can take into account family members, and each person will get two to three tickets. As for the remaining seat tickets, they must be approved by me and County Chief Zhang.", I don't care who city leaders or city cadres are. If someone asks you for a ticket, you just say you can't make the decision and ask him to call me. Unless I agree, any leader who has refused our county's invitation before will not be able to sit and watch the performance at the cultural evening party!" There is no limit on standing tickets, as long as you buy a park ticket, you can enter, but it is not that easy to sit down.
Su Yan made a sound.
Zhang Dongfang was speechless, "Secretary Xuebin."
Dong Xuebin said, "Let's do it like this. If you continue to arrange it, if anyone sends the ticket to a city leader without my consent, I will question him!"
Su Yan immediately said, "I understand, I will notify you immediately!"
When several cadres from the Investment Promotion Bureau in the car heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The one who dared to confront the city was the secretary of their county party committee. Well, in fact, this was not a confrontation. Secretary Dong clearly wanted to disgust the cadres of the city. If we invite you, won't you come? If you think about it then, it's not you who have the final say. They have already figured out Secretary Dong's style and temper.
There's just a problem.
Secretary Dong Why are you so sure that city leaders will also want to steal their votes?
Is there really any big star coming this time? Is that why Secretary Dong has this confidence?
But it's unlikely. How could a really famous star lower his net worth to perform on a small stage in a small place like theirs? And you don't even get a penny in appearance fees? Either he is sick or he is a living Lei Feng! Not to mention famous ones, even ordinary young actors can't do anything without money! Secretary Dong boasted Haikou at the meeting, and now he is so arrogant, but no one has much confidence.
Suddenly, a female staff member from the Investment Bureau trotted out, "A lesbian who just got off the plane came to Secretary Dong and said she was here to perform at the party."
Attending a show?
Has anyone arrived??
Dong Xuebin in the car heard this and immediately straightened his collar and got out of the car, "Where is he?" The Power of Time and Wealth 1912
"In the lobby, our person is receiving the reception. Although she is wearing sunglasses, she looks very familiar." The female department clerk panted.
Dong Xuebin looked calm and said to Su Yan, "Tell Television Station to prepare. Don't miss a single shot. Don't broadcast live. After editing, we will be on the news at night."
Su Yan responded and hurried inside.
Zhang Dongfang and the others also got out of the car at this time. Although they were not responsible for the investors, as County Chief, he must have been there to greet them, and they also wanted to see what kind of actors Secretary Dong could find without spending a penny. They were so curious.
in the hall.
Everyone went in.
Under Su Yan's instructions, the staff of County TV Station immediately became busy, and some reporters who didn't take it seriously at first quickly dropped the unfinished Boxed Lunch in their hands.
Under the red welcome banner, stood Investment Bureau and a woman with a good figure.
Dong Xuebin recognized the person from a distance and was slightly shocked, "Hey, Chen Ying?"
The woman also saw Dong Xuebin, smiled, took off the wide toad mirror on her face, revealing a pretty face, and waved to him, "Old classmate, long time no see."
As soon as he took off his sunglasses, the atmosphere in the whole place became silent.
"Ah!"
"Chen Ying! It's Chen Ying!"
"Isn't this the one who plays Ge Ge?"
"Ah! It's really Chen Ying!"
"Oh! I like her scenes so much! Especially the recent TV series!"
Chen Ying, Dong Xuebin's elementary school classmate, Dong Xuebin didn't know she was a star until they last met, and asked her second aunt to help her find a show, and since then Dong Xuebin paid close attention to her, and even though he didn't like watching TV, he often watched her a few times. He knew that Chen Ying was no longer the same as before. Compared with the last time he saw her, the drama Chen Ying released made her even more famous. Seeing Zhang Dongfang's expression, people like Lao Zhang who don't watch many TV series and movies obviously recognized Chen Ying, and the reputation of his old classmate was also evident.
Many people recognized him at a glance, and some airport staff and passengers shouted out. Jiaolin County's staff were also excited. They didn't expect Secretary Dong to find such a big-name TV star. This was such a surprise!
But Dong Xuebin's next words made Jiaolin County's people almost fall down.
"Why are you here?" Dong Xuebin never called her.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dongfang and the county staff almost fainted. Damn it, you didn't invite anyone to co-write it?
Chen Ying smiled and said, "I heard that you need actors here. No, I came here after I pushed the schedule. An old classmate needs help, so I didn't say anything. Although my main job is filming, I have also released two singles. Not many people have heard of them, but I can also contribute to your party. Why don't you tell me? I have to hear it from other people to find out. Isn't it too interesting?"
Dong Xuebin was very moved and said, "You have been busy recently, you have taken on two dramas, right? I didn't contact you because I was afraid of delaying your development."
"Stop talking about that. I wasn't polite to you about what happened last time. Are you still polite to me?" Chen Ying said with a smile. (To be continued)
