noon.
Outside the airport.
Several people from the investment promotion bureau and the county TV station were left guarding inside, while Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang went out and boarded an empty bus they rented to pick up the investors who were coming in the afternoon. Although the 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 or afternoon.
in the car.
Dong Xuebin was able to sit for a while, and he reached the front as soon as he could. He opened the window, lit a cigarette and started smoking immediately. "Old 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 connected at the train station. I was contacted by phone just now. There is a wave that is almost coming to our county. There is a wave." Bo is on his way back to the county. Everything is going well, and our local investors have basically gone directly to the arranged hotel to stay. Neither of us can go back for the lunch dinner, so we can only stay with Lao Wei. Okay, okay, can the actor come in the afternoon? Can we join the dinner party tonight?"
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. I 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." Well, if you can’t help it, go and say hello, since tomorrow is the opening of the cultural festival.”
Zhang Dongfang said, "Can't get in touch?" It sounds unreliable.
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 Magistrate, the lunch box is here." A staff member ran into the car.
"Okay." Dong Xuebin was also hungry. I took it, broke it open with disposable chopsticks and started eating.
Zhang Dongfang and several other cadres each took their lunch boxes and ate on the bus, eating quickly because no one knew when work would start.
Just after finishing his meal, 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 City Investment Promotion Bureau." The voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged man, who actually spoke quite well.
Zhang Dongxing
Director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau
Dong Xuebin said, "Director Zhang."
Zhang Dongxing said: "Let me tell you. I know about your investment and cultural festival, but I didn't specify the time before, and I didn't give you a reply. Now it's confirmed. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the party tomorrow. Something happened. I Let a deputy director of our bureau go. "Dong Xuebin said again, "It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business." They are all equal, and there is nothing to be polite about.
But what Dong Xuebin said made Zhang Dongxing stunned for a moment. He thought Jiao Neighbor County would have to say a few more words. After all, if I don't help them, it will definitely have some impact on their investment work. Some smart investors will consider the relationship between Jiao Neighbor County and the city. Who would have thought that Dong Xuebin didn't even fight for it? . Instead, you said "it's okay" to keep him busy? No wonder the city leaders don't want to see this county party committee secretary. He's so ungrateful that he's 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. He said yes and hung up the phone first.
Dong Xuebin was not angry. He didn't think anything of it, but the phone call made Zhang Dongxing a little angry. Originally, Zhang Dongxing thought that he was a special figure, and Jiao Neighbor County had to point at him and beg him. Unexpectedly, Dong Xuebin didn't take him seriously at all. Even his tone seemed to be expecting Zhang Dongxing to not attend tomorrow. This made him Zhang Dongxing can't accept it. Your mother doesn't pay much attention to me, right
On the bus.
Zhang Dongfang looked over and said, "Zhang Dongxing?"
"It's him." Dong Xuebin said calmly: "It means he won't come if he doesn't have time tomorrow."
Zhang Dongfang frowned and said, "I think we'd better talk about it later. Otherwise, why don't I ask the deputy mayor in charge?"
Dong Xuebin still had the same idea, "No need to ask, we welcome people when they come, and we won't force them if they don't come. We can hold this investment and cultural festival without anyone!"
Zhang Dongfang insisted: "It can be done, but the effect is estimated to be..."
"Old Zhang, listen to me on this matter." Dong Xuebin said with confidence: "Don't worry about the guest leaders, I promise they will be indispensable. Now I am worried that there are not enough chairs in the Central Park." After that, he called over. 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 certainly not more."
Dong Xuebin said yes, "Then press two thousand tickets. Take my words with you. In addition to leaving these tickets for the investors attending the meeting, they will also be distributed to the cadres of our county. We can take into account family members. Two tickets will be given to each person." Three tickets. As for the remaining seats, they must be approved by County Magistrate Zhang and I. I don’t care who the city leaders or city cadres are. If someone comes to you for tickets, you just say you can’t make the decision and let him Call me. Unless I agree, any leader who has refused our county’s invitation before will never 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's not that easy to sit still.
Su Yan groaned.
Zhang Dongfang was speechless, "Xue Bin's [Book] note."
Dong Xuebin said: "Let's do it like this. If you continue to arrange it, if anyone sends the tickets to a city leader without my consent, I will question him!"
Su Yan immediately said: "I understand, I'll notify you right away!"
Several cadres from the Investment Promotion Bureau in the car heard this, and they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The one who dared to confront the city was their secretary of the county party committee. Well, in fact, this was not a confrontation. Secretary Dong made it clear that he was. If you deliberately want to disgust the city cadres, why don’t we invite you not to come? If you think about it then, it's not you who have the final say. They have already figured out Dong Shuji's style and temper.
There's just a problem.
Why is Secretary Dong so sure that the city leaders will also want to steal their votes
Is there really any big star coming this time? Is that why Dong Shuji 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 of appearance fee? 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! Dong Shuji boasted about Haikou at the meeting, and now he swears so confidently, but everyone has little confidence.
Suddenly, a female clerk from the China Merchants Bureau trotted out from inside. "A lesbian who just got off the plane came to the director [Secretary] and said she was here to perform at the party."
Attending a show
Has anyone arrived?
Dong Xuebin in the car heard it and immediately straightened his collar and got out of the car, "Where is he?"
"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: "Ask the people from the TV station to prepare. Don't miss a single shot. Don't broadcast it live. After editing, it will be on the evening news."
Su Yan responded and hurried inside.
Zhang Dongfang and the others also got off the bus at this time. Although they were not responsible for the investors, as the county magistrate, he would definitely have to go to greet them, and they also wanted to see if the director did not spend a penny. I’m so curious as to what kind of actors we can find.
in the hall.
Everyone went in.
Following Su Yan's instructions, the staff of the county TV station immediately became busy, and some reporters who didn't take it seriously at first quickly dropped their uneaten lunch boxes.
Under the red welcome banner, stood a person from the investment promotion agency and a woman with a good figure.
Dong Xuebin recognized the person from a distance and was slightly surprised, "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 primary school classmate, Dong Xuebin didn't know she was a star until the last time they met, and asked her second aunt to help her find a show. Since then, Dong Xuebin has paid close attention to her, even though he doesn't like watching TV. I have watched Chen Ying from time to time, and I know that Chen Ying is no longer what she used to be. Compared to the last time I saw her, the last drama that Chen Ying released made her even more famous. Seeing Zhang Dongfang's expression, people like Lao Zhang who didn'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. The staff in Jiao Neighbor County were also excited. They didn't expect that the director would actually find such a big-name TV star. Wow, this is so surprising!
But Dong Xuebin's next words made the people in Jiao Neighboring County 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 else
Chen Ying smiled and said: "I heard that you need actors here. No, I came here as soon as I pushed the schedule. My old classmate needed help, so I naturally had nothing to say. Although my main job is filming, I have also produced two songs. Not many people have heard of the single, but it can still help you at the party. Why don't you tell me about it? I have to hear it from other people. 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.
