Chapter 1471: A tiring day

Afternoon.

Inside the hotel.

Dong Xuebing is in the corridor making a phone call to arrange the schedule. The banquet hall door opened, and Jiang Mayor's secretary, Li Xiaona, quickly walked out.

" Mayor Dong."

"Ah, Secretary Li."

"You go ahead and make your call."

"No problem, I'm done. What's up?"

"The meal is almost over. Mayor Jiang asked me to check how your arrangements are going."

"The itinerary is all set. We'll visit several pre-arranged project areas first, ready to depart anytime. I've hired a bus for an extra half-month, waiting downstairs. I've also had some additional brochures printed, which should be done within an hour. As for the English version of the project brochure, it will be ready before 5 p.m." Dong Xuebing has a lot on his mind. "Let me think if there's anything else, um, should be nothing."

"Foreign and domestic investors are going together?"

"Yes, let's have a broad overview today. Let everyone understand our county. As for the specific projects, I'll contact them separately. Is there any arrangement from Mayor Jiang?"

"No, I just wanted to ask. Mayor Jiang said you've organized large-scale investment promotion conferences before, with more experience than anyone else. So, you can make all the arrangements. If you need anything, report it to the county, and they will give the green light. The county won't interfere with anything else."

"Thanks for Mayor Jiang's trust. Alright, I'm a bit pressed for time here. Let Mayor Jiang know about the arrangements. I need to go downstairs to organize the staff."

"Sure, Mayor Dong, take care of yourself. I can see you're a bit pale."

"Ah, maybe I haven't had lunch. It's alright, it's nothing."

"You can't go without eating. No way, no way, I'll get something for you."

"No need, Secretary Li. We'll talk on the way. I'm in a hurry to go downstairs." He didn't even have time to take a bite in the morning with the city. During the welcoming banquet, he was too busy with the arrangements and didn't eat anything. Time was running out, and he couldn't afford to worry about these things. After speaking, Dong Xuebing hurriedly went downstairs to make phone calls. "Cheng Director, go and contact them again, ensure they are all prepared. The investors could arrive in as little as an hour and have finished their meals by then. Yes, it must be foolproof. If anyone has a problem, I'll hold them responsible."

Beep, beep, beep. Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and said, "I have another call. Hold on." Saying that, he pressed the screen. "h.e.l.lo, Director Zhang."

Zhang Longjuan smiled, "Are you busy to the point of being dizzy?"

"Yes, it's a bit overwhelming." Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and said, "I was just about to call you. I've arranged the afternoon schedule. Is there any problem on your end?"

"No problem."

"Okay, then follow my arrangements."

"You can also decide on my project. I am too lazy to look. You recommend a few to me, and we'll sign the contract directly."

"Come on, don't say that. You should also take a look appropriately.

"If I look at your projects, I might s.n.a.t.c.h away the best projects."

"I would be more than happy. I'll arrange a good project for you. You've come from so far away, and I feel guilty if I don't provide the best."

"Haha, alright, I'll check in the afternoon."

"By the way, you are an expert in this field. Although we are from the investment promotion department, many things may not be as clear to us as they are to you. These days, you must act as an advisor to our Investment Promotion Bureau. Teach us which projects are not reasonable and which are most attractive; you have to guide us on all this. I'm counting on you, hehe. Also, regarding the inspection team you brought, you must speak highly of us. I know they won't believe everything you say, but if you can praise us a bit, it will have an effect."

"Haha, you're ordering me around."

"Cough, cough. I'll treat you to a big meal later."

"I will be waiting. I know you're busy, do your thing."

After hanging up the phone, just as Dong Xuebing left the restaurant, several county committee members approached him, asking about specific arrangements.

Dong Xuebing gave them detailed instructions.

After understanding, they went to make arrangements.

The current Zhen Shui County has formed a united force like never before.

Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang set the tone, and no one else could have objections, nor would there be any. All departments cooperated strongly with the work of the investment promotion department, vowing to fight this hard battle. Even though some people had quite a few opinions about Dong Xuebing, no one doubted Dong Xuebing's ability. Although it was said that the current situation was the credit of the Investment Promotion Bureau, everyone understood that Dong Xuebing was the one who brought in all these investors. Even if they scolded or didn't like him, Dong Xuebing's ability was unquestionable by everyone.

Helpless.

Others just have this ability.

1 pm: The welcome banquet in the banquet hall is dispersed.

1.30 pm: Investors went downstairs one after another. Dong Xuebing and the staff of the Investment Promotion Bureau each took charge of a bus, leading people to the project areas. They played the role of tour guides on the bus, introducing the scenery and environment of Zhen Shui County and briefly revealing some excellent project details.

2 pm: Arrive at the project area and start the inspection.

4 pm: Inspection concluded, driving to the next location.

6 pm: The buses returned to the hotel and dinner again to host the investors.

7.30 pm: County leaders called Dong Xuebing's mobile phone to inquire about the situation.

8 pm: The banquet dispersed. Dong Xuebing accompanied several investors who had shown a hint of investment intention today, discussed with them, answered their questions, alleviated their worries and concerns, and finally negotiated on policy preferences, revealing the bottom line.

9.15 pm: Dong Xuebing drove home to rest.

9.20 pm: Dong Xuebing was called back by another phone call. A foreigner had a stomachache and was rolling on the floor in pain. It might be that the foreigner couldn't adapt to the local water and soil. The temporary staff arranged by the county couldn't figure out what to do, so they had to call Dong Xuebing. He rushed back and called an ambulance, but the foreigner, with a weight of around 300 pounds, couldn't be moved by medical personnel. In the end, Dong Xuebing alone lifted him, put the foreigner in the ambulance, and accompanied him to the hospital.

11 pm: After the infusion, the foreigner recovered. Dong Xuebing finally left the hospital.

Midnight: A call came. There was a problem with the inspection site for the next day. Dong Xuebing quickly made a few calls to a.s.sign tasks.

1 am: Dong Xuebing finally returned home and slept on the bed.

5.10 am: Dong Xuebing was awakened by another phone call. Without even was.h.i.+ng his face, he got in the car and left.

Exhausted.

He was exhausted.

But despite being tired, Dong Xuebing hasn't felt so fulfilled in a long time.
