The next day.
Noon, County Party Committee Guest House.
The inspectors from Japanese foreign companies arrived. A total of five or six people drove two black Toyota Ruiz. County Party Committee Xiang Daofa and his secretary personally greeted them outside. They were also accompanied by several people from the Xiang Department, Deputy Cao Xupeng, and Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau Meng Xianglin. , Lu Dafa, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, and so on. From this situation, it is not difficult to see that Xiang attaches great importance to this inspection team, and it is almost time to catch up with the inspection by city leaders. Dong Xuebin shook his head slightly as he watched from a distance. Someone from the media also came. He felt that Xiang Daofa was putting on a show. Ever since he learned about Xiang Daofa's plan yesterday, Dong Xuebin has become even more disgusted with the task assigned to him by the bureau this time, and he resists it from the bottom of his heart!
"On behalf of Yantai County, I would like to welcome you." Xiang Daofa said enthusiastically.
The accompanying translator said in two languages: "This is Xiang, this is Mr. Sakamoto."
"Hello, Xiang."
Sakamoto smiled and shook hands with Xiang Daofa. Click, click, a camera in the distance recorded this shot. It must be the front page of today's county newspaper.
Dong Xuebin had no intention of listening to them. He turned to a staff member of the county committee office and said, "Where is County Magistrate Xie?"
The young man whispered: "The county magistrate seems to have a meeting to hold, but he didn't come."
Dong Xuebin curled his lips in his heart. It is the county government's business to attract business and capital. Your county committee has started to organize things this time. It's not that Sister Xie won't come, but you don't want Sister Xie to get involved because you're afraid of sharing the political achievements, right? What the hell are they doing one by one! The hand is also stretched too long! On the other hand, looking at Xie Huilan, before leaving yesterday, Sister Xie had asked him to clear the way for the inspection team and protect their safety. This was a relatively big thing in Yantai County recently, even if Xiang Daofa was cautious and afraid. Someone from the county government was involved, and Sister Xie didn't want to cause any damage at all. Looking at Sister Xie's level, it's no wonder that her vision and overall view are different from those who have been leaders in central departments. In comparison, Xiang Daofa is a bit Xiaojiazi was so angry that his eyes only focused on the political achievements he could see!
After that, everyone started to go inside one after another to prepare for their meal.
"Director Dong." Someone called him.
When Dong Xuebin turned around, the person calling him was a middle-aged man under fifty years old, "Is it Director Meng?"
Meng Xianglin nodded, walked up and said: "The first stop of the afternoon inspection team is Wutian Township. The possibility of investment there is very high, so no mistakes can be made. When the time comes, you will send two people to follow the whole process to avoid any accidents. Be sure to give The delegation left a good impression.”
Dong Xuebin replied without answering: "I know."
Seeing him like this, Meng Xianglin frowned and said, "Director Dong, you need to pay more attention to this."
Hey, aren't you done yet? Dong Xuebin said: "I attach great importance to it. I don't need you to tell me to understand." He doesn't attach much importance to it. If this matter is done well, Xie Huilan will not have any great political achievements, and Xiang Daofa, who has gained a profit, will definitely not He will remember his own good deeds and continue to cause trouble for himself in the future. If he fails to handle it well, Dong Xuebin will have to take responsibility and pay for this failure. How can you let Dong Xuebin take such a disgusting task seriously
Meng Xianglin was disgusted and said: "I won't say more. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not saying the ugly things first. No one can bear this responsibility!" After that, he turned around and left. Dong Xuebin is a higher level, and he is the person in charge of this investment promotion. He has regarded Dong Xuebin, who was sent to protect the safety of the inspection team, as a subordinate, and naturally he is not very polite when he speaks.
Dong Xuebin was annoyed, you are from China Merchants Bureau, why did you teach me a lesson
Meng Xianglin attaches great importance to this investment promotion, even more than any previous one. Not only is the amount of investment from the other party very high, but also the image of the foreign company is also an opportunity to open up the embarrassing situation of investment promotion in Yantai County. , as long as it is properly publicized, more companies and funds may choose Yantai County in the future. This is a critical step. Of course, what Meng Xianglin values more is political performance. As long as he can win this electronic components factory When he arrives in Yantai County, Meng Xianglin's career will most likely be taken to the next level.
After the meal, Xiang Daofa and other county leaders left the guest house, and Meng Xianglin and Lu Dafa enthusiastically greeted the people of the inspection group.
The leader, Sakamoto, is obviously the person in charge of this matter. He should have a big say in deciding whether the funds can be landed in Yantai County. Therefore, Meng Xianglin and the others are very enthusiastic about Mr. Sakamoto. Xu Sakamoto, who is in his forties, also knows about him. It's up to them to ask for help. Whoever has money is the boss these days, so Sakamoto rarely says anything and is very polite. He usually just nods, smiles, or hums, without showing anything, just for socializing. The work is all done by secretaries and attendants.
Not long after, Sakamoto said something in Japanese to the translator next to him.
The translator tilted his head and said, "Mr. Sakamoto said he wanted to go to the countryside to have a look."
"No problem." Meng Xianglin said immediately: "We will lead the way."
Lu Dafa quickly went out to arrange the car. After a while, the leaders and staff of the China Merchants Bureau got into the car and drove to Takeda Township, followed by two Toyota Ruiz from the foreign enterprise inspection team. Although Dong Xuebin was very dissatisfied with this task, he did not neglect it. He called the county bureau and temporarily summoned two police officers, asking them to wear plain clothes and drive along. They were responsible for the safety of the inspection group. He also contacted the Wutian Township Police Station I contacted the comrades and told them to do their job well.
Ring ring ring, the phone rang.
Dong Xuebin answered, "Mom, what's going on?"
"Have you eaten?" Luan Xiaoping's voice sounded on the other end.
"just ate."
"Oh, if you are free tonight, you can come over to mom's place."
"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebin thought about it, "Don't stay at night, I'll go over now. There won't be any work in the afternoon. Where are you and the school dormitory?"
"Um."
"Okay, just wait for me."
"It's not a big deal, just drive slower on the road."
Dong Xuebin did not return to the station. Instead, he went to a supermarket and bought some nutritional supplements. Then he drove to the staff dormitory of County No. 1 Middle School, went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Mom, I'm here."
Luan Xiaoping, who opened the door, looked at the bag in her son's hand and complained, "Why do you buy these messy things again?"
"Hey, you can drink it. It's good for your health anyway." Dong Xuebin walked in sideways.
"Mom, Tian'er can't drink so much. It's just a waste of money." Luan Xiaoping took the thing from his hand and put her chin on the coffee table. "The tea has just been brewed, just in time to drink." She scolded her son. Luan Xiaoping actually feels very good about wasting money. Every time Xiao Bin comes, she has to buy her some nutritional supplements. This is because she feels sorry for her.
Dong Xuebin took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, Mom, what's the matter?"
"Wait a minute." Luan Xiaoping walked back to the hut, and when she came out, she had an extra sweater in her hand.
Dong Xuebin said happily: "Bought for me?"
Luan Xiaoping glared at him, "Mom knitted it for you, try it on."
"Oh, why are you spending so much time? It doesn't cost much to buy one now, and I'll make you tired again." In the past, my family was poor, and Dong Xuebin's winter sweaters and trousers were all knitted by his mother stitch by stitch. , sometimes you have to start knitting in the summer, taking a break from the busy work to start stitch by stitch, and it takes several months to take shape. It is too tiring. Now that the family has money, few people buy wool to knit sweaters anymore. "Isn't your blood pressure been low recently?" Is it stable? Look at you..."
Luan Xiaoping disapprovingly picked up the sweater and pointed it at him, "Go and try it. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it."
Dong Xuebin felt warm in his heart, took off his coat and put on his sweater, "How is it?"
"It generally fits. Are the sleeves a little too long?"
Dong Xuebin said: "It's not long, just hold it a little longer."
Luan Xiaoping reached out and touched it, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it fits well. It's getting cold now, so don't take it off if you put it on. This is much warmer than your leather jacket."
The sweater was gray. Although the sweater I didn’t buy was fancy, it fit snugly. Dong Xuebin liked it very much. He looked in the mirror and smiled, "Mom, thank you."
Luan Xiaoping smiled and said, "If you like it, Mom will give you another scarf tomorrow."
"No, no, no, no." Dong Xuebin said hurriedly: "If I have to tire you any longer, I still feel bad for you."
Luan Xiaoping snorted, "If you knew you cared about mom, you would have done less dangerous tasks. Mom didn't tell you about you this time. She was missing for several days, and mom almost died of panic." It's not just anxious, Dong Xuebin did it During those days when she was undercover, Luan Xiaoping's soul was gone when she learned that her son had suddenly disappeared. She was worried at home all day long, for fear of some bad news, and she cried countless times.
"Mom, don't tell me whether this will work or not, I was wrong, wrong." Dong Xuebin smiled and gave his mother a hammer on the shoulder, and then the matter was cleared up.
Luan Xiaoping patted her son's hand on her shoulder and said, "Okay, Mom knows you are busy, so go back to work."
"You have classes in the afternoon, right? Yes, I'll take you to school."
"It's only two steps away from the school. What's the gift?"
In the end, Dong Xuebin drove his mother to the gate of County No. 1 Middle School. Seeing his mother enter the school gate, Dong Xuebin turned the steering wheel and turned around.
night.
Dong Xuebin returned to the bureau's family hospital and called to inquire. The afternoon inspection went smoothly and there were no accidents.
Yes, this is not the Middle East, what could happen
After putting down his mobile phone, Dong Xuebin went to take a bath. While taking a bath, he thought about his Zhengke matter. Suddenly, the mobile phone in the bathroom outside started chirping. Dong Xuebin frowned, turned off the shower head and wiped his right hand. He opened the plastic curtain and reached out to grab the mobile phone, trying not to let the mobile phone touch the water. I pressed the answer button slightly away from my ear.
"Hey, who's there?"
"Director Dong, I'm from the transportation team. I was told to report all the matters related to the foreign company inspection team to you."
Dong Xuebin frowned deeper, "What happened to the inspection team?"
The man said: "I'm at the scene right now. A Toyota Ruiz belonging to the inspection team collided with someone."
"Where are you? Are you okay?" Dong Xuebin's heart tightened.
"The people in the inspection group were fine. The headlights of the car were slightly bruised, and the car that was hit had bruises on the rear buttocks. It was no big deal. But later, the owner of the Citroen car that was hit started arguing with the people in the inspection group. There was some dispute, and both sides started to fight. We just got it under control. How do you think this matter will be handled? "
"Where is the location? I'll be there right away!"
“Not far from the west exit gas station…”
After the traffic policeman finished speaking, Dong Xuebin dried himself impatiently and walked out of the bathroom.
At this time, the phone rang again. It was Meng Xianglin from China Merchants Group. "Director Dong, do you know about the car accident of the inspection team? You should go and deal with it first."
Damn it, when did you become my superior
Dong Xuebin didn't even bother to talk to him and hung up the line.
Meng Xianglin on the other end was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little angry. Are you taking me too seriously
Dong Xuebin quickly got dressed, went downstairs, got in the car and went straight to the west exit where the incident occurred. It was not too far away. Dong Xuebin arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes and saw a car from a distance. Toyota Ruiz and Citroën were parked on the side of the road. Several traffic police were directing the traffic. The police seemed to have just arrived. The two police cars were flashing red and blue lights. After all, a fight was involved. This was no longer the scope of the traffic police. .
"What's going on?" Dong Xuebin strode up.
A policeman was saying something over there. Hearing the words, he took a look and quickly trotted over respectfully, "Director Dong."
Beside the Citroën, a young man was half-sitting on the ground, with traces of blood on the corners of his mouth, blue eyes, and messy hair. Next to him was a woman in her early twenties, who might be the young man's wife, who was crying while giving the young man Wiping away the blood, there was a slap mark on the woman's face. The blow was very severe. On the other hand, Mr. Sakamoto quietly closed his eyes and meditated in the Toyota without even getting out of the car. The two people from the inspection team were standing outside holding their shoulders. They were also safe and sound. Except for some stains on their clothes, they were not injured.
Dong Xuebin frowned, "Whose responsibility is it?"
The policeman looked over there and said in a low voice: "It's the responsibility of the Japanese. Some passers-by proved that the Toyota went the wrong way when turning the corner, and hit the Citroen at the corner. Well, you know, Japan’s traffic rules are different from ours. It seems that driving forward and backward is exactly the opposite of ours. They drive on the left, and the steering wheel position seems to be different. Maybe you are not used to it. "Getting used to it is the hardest thing to change.
"Then the driver doesn't have a domestic driving license?"
"I just looked at the car booklet. It is there, but it was from many years ago and has expired long ago."
"Chinese?"
"should be."
"Where's the one who hit?" Dong Xuebin asked, "Who struck first?"
The policeman hesitated and said, "The people in the inspection team said it was the other party who struck first, but passers-by and the Citroen driver who was beaten all said it was the Japanese who struck first."
Dong Xuebin frowned in disgust. He knew without looking that it was not the young couple who made the first move. There were three or four old men in the other inspection team's car. At first glance, they were not easy to mess with. The Citroen driver also brought With a wife in tow, how could they beat her first? But this matter itself is not easy to deal with. Should it be taken back to the inspection team and detained? This will affect their impression of Yantai County, but if we don't deal with it, how will we explain to the people who were beaten
In the distance, a man in a suit walked over impatiently, "Why haven't you dealt with it yet?"
The policeman whispered to Dong Xuebin: "This is the driver who hit the person and also participated in the fight."
Dong Xuebin glanced at him and thought to himself, "How can you still be so arrogant after hitting someone?"
"Our boss asked, can we leave now?" The driver looked at Dong Xuebin and the others, "We still have something to do! Can you please hurry up?" He spoke good Chinese, but he didn't sound Japanese at first glance.
The policeman knew the importance of this group of people and immediately said: "Please wait a moment, we are processing it."
The driver smacked his lips, looked at his watch and said: "It's been more than ten minutes, how efficient are you at work? If you can't handle it, do you need me to call you? Let me tell you again, it was the other party's car that suddenly got into the car in the middle of the road. When we came out, the man pushed us and made a move first, so we acted in self-defense. There was no responsibility at all from the beginning to the end!”
Dong Xuebin gave him a cold look, "It's not because you said you have no responsibility that you have no responsibility! Do you understand?"
When the policeman heard that he was holding it against him, he became a little annoyed and said, "Brother, your driver's license has expired a long time ago. If you really think about it, this is driving without a license."
The driver's face darkened, and he immediately turned around and went back without saying a word.
The policeman cursed in a voice that only he and Director Dong could hear: "The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power! What the hell!"
Dong Xuebin also disliked the driver. Are you justified in beating him
Over there, the driver opened the car door and whispered to Mr. Sakamoto in Japanese: "Boss, those Chinese police are deliberately looking for trouble and won't let us go." The driver also knew that it was too late for the people in Yantai County to curry favor with them, even if they beat someone. Nothing would happen, so he wasn't nervous at all. Moreover, although he was Chinese, after studying abroad in Japan, he accidentally saved Mr. Sakamoto's wife when she collapsed on the street during childbirth. From then on, Sakamoto was very grateful to him. Not only did he hire him as a full-time driver, but he also trusted the driver very much. Otherwise, he would not have taken him with him as a driver when he came to Beihe Province.
When Sakamoto heard this, he frowned. In his opinion, this was a trivial matter, so small that he didn't even take it to heart.
They were mumbling something, but Dong Xuebin couldn't understand it. He walked up to the young couple and said, "I'm from the bureau, how is the injury?"
The young man bared his teeth and said: "Comrade police, these little Japanese are too unreasonable. I was driving normally and walking fine, but suddenly a car came from behind and hit me. I got out of the car and argued with them, but they even started to attack me. Beating people, look, my wife was also beaten."
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "It's getting late, so we'd better solve it as soon as possible. Everyone should go back to their homes and don't delay going to work tomorrow. Do you think this will work? Let them pay some money, including medical expenses and the loss of the car crash. Three Wan, let’s keep this matter private, what do you think?”
The young couple disagreed, and they couldn't swallow this breath.
Dong Xuebin patiently talked for a while, and then the young man said: "Comrade police, I will give you face, okay, thirty thousand or thirty thousand, but the driver in the black suit must apologize to me and my wife in person!"
Dong Xuebin felt that this request was not too much, so he nodded slightly. RO
