Song Ning looked at Gu Zheng. "I wonder if my 'driver' still has some time to spare?"
"At your service, Boss Song!"
By now, Gu Zheng's curiosity had been thoroughly piqued.
Besides, he was delighted to go along with Song Ning rather than be left out!
Song Ning gave them an address from memory.
Gu Zheng was a little surprised. "Isn't that address in the Southern Suburbs?"
When they finally arrived after their dusty journey, they found that the place was indeed far from the city center, on a site still under construction.
Quite a few people were setting up platforms, hanging banners, and putting up slogans.
Gu Zheng surveyed the area. "This should be a government pilot site earmarked for economic development."
Song Ning nodded. The term "development zone" wasn't in use yet in this era.
But in a few years, this area would indeed grow into Rong City's financial center.
After asking around, Song Ning found the Exposition's temporary office in a nearby building.
The office was large, with desks arranged in several areas. A few people clustered around each desk, apparently handling different tasks.
People kept coming and going, and banners, slogans, and other materials for the venue lay scattered across the floor. The whole place looked busy and chaotic.
Song Ning was just about to ask who was in charge... when she heard a man in the group at the far end actually swearing in English. The gist of it was-
"You ignorant bumpkins don't understand anything! You must do everything my way! If you insist on having your way, I'll stop helping you! Then your event will fall through!"
How could a foreigner be throwing his weight around on Chinese soil?
Song Ning and Jiang Chengshi exchanged a glance and decided to take a look.
