Chapter 425 – Earth-shattering punch!! (1/2)
Xie Huilan, Zhao Xinglong, and other leaders are still making their rounds in the Investment Promotion Agency offices. Until now, other than the Agency’s leaders, most people don’t know the contract signing had been canceled. A Deputy Director from the County Government is still ordering the TV station’s staff to film the ceremony.
“Secretary Hu, please help us to buy some time.”
“It’s already 3 pm. I can’t buy any more time.”
“I will think of a solution and will let you all handle the situation here.”
Dong Xuebing ran upstairs after speaking to Hu Silian and Luo Haiting. He avoided the County Leaders and returned to his office to make phone calls. His solution is simple. He must settle this problem first. Since the Chicken Manure Processing plant is canceled, then he will switch to other projects. He must let the County Leaders host the contract signing no matter what.
One call…
Two calls…
Three calls…
But how can the contract signing be arranged so last-minute?
Most of the time, the agency might not have any contract signing within a month. No investors will sign the contract within this short span. They must consider and plan their budget before they sign the contract. After a few calls, Dong Xuebing could not get anyone to sign the contract today and slammed the phone in anger. “Damn!”
Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Zhao Xinglong asked angrily when Dong Xuebing answered. “Where are you? Is the contract signing ceremony canceled? Xiao Dong… What the hell are you all doing?! You all are embarrassing Mayor Xie!” The inspection ended, and the Leaders found out what happened.
Dong Xuebing could not refute. “Sorry, we had failed in our duties.”
“You all had failed us! You… I really don’t know what to say about this!”
“Mayor Zhao, someone had set us up. This morning, Peng Kenong was still…”
“Don’t give me excuses! Come over and explain to Mayor Xie now! You… you should know how much Mayor Xie trust you and had come to help you by hosting the contract signing ceremony! But you…”
Dong Xuebing really felt he had failed Sister Xie and Mayor Zhao. Damn! Don’t let me find out who is behind this! This is too much! Dong Xuebing composed himself and rushed downstairs. He needs to explain to the County Leaders and takes responsibility for this screwup.
Fourth floor…
Third floor…
When Dong Xuebing reached the second floor, his phone rang again.
Luo Haiting shouted angrily. “Chief Dong, come to our main entrance now!”
Sun Shuli is furious and started arguing with Peng Kenong.
“Mr. Peng, didn’t you say you are busy at work? Why are you at the restaurant?”
“I had finished my work and drove past here. No matter how busy we are, we must not skip our meals.”
“All the County Leaders and our agency have been waiting for you, and you are just having lunch nearby?! You are so near, and you refused to turn up? What’s the meaning of this?!”
Dong Xuebing immediately realized what had happened. Peng Kenong had been dining in a restaurant near the Agency, and Sun Shuli saw his car turning out from the restaurant’s carpark and blocked him. Xie Huilan and Zhao Xinglong had walked to the main entrance because they heard the commotion.
Dong Xuebing is furious. Peng Kenong is just eating at the restaurant next to the Agency, and he purposely did not answer his calls. He even claims he is busy in his company!
Peng Kenong!
This is too much!
But before Dong Xuebing could flare up, he is shocked by what happened next!
The Mercedes doors opened, and Da Feng County’s Investment Promotion Agency’s Chief, Pang Zhou, and Mayor Li Feng stepped out with a frown!
Da Feng County’s Leaders?!
Sun Shuli’s face changed. “Mayor Li? Pang Zhou?!”
Everyone understood what happened when they saw Li Feng and Pang Zhou!
Why did Peng Kenong change his mind suddenly! It’s Da Feng County who is behind this! Peng Kenong should be having lunch here when Li Feng and Pang Zhou found him and entice him with better benefits! As a businessman, he will invest in the County with the best benefits!
F**k!
