On Saturday, the main building of Huarong Hotel was closed and not open to the public because it was booked out for today and tomorrow.
At 5:30 in the evening, Tan Mingchao and Wawa’s engagement ceremony was held. This event caused a sensation in the overseas Chinese community, and some celebrities had already arrived in Longcheng and were invited to attend the banquet.
…
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Liu Hongxu took Brother Qiu and walked quickly towards the An family's villa.
Brother Qiu also dressed up and put on a very formal suit, which made the scar on his face look much better.
Soon, the two walked into the villa and came to the living room.
An Zecheng sat on the sofa, wearing a well-fitting suit and a low-key yet elegant blue tie.
Liu Hongxu stood aside and asked, "Commander, we have already communicated with diplomat Bai. Do you think we should go and pick him up now?"
An Zecheng raised his arm and glanced at his watch. He felt that the time was almost up. "Go ahead, as fast as possible. I want to take him to see Lao Tan alone."
The meeting between the garrison and Dabai was also arranged in advance by Anze City, and the two sides had already communicated in advance.
Lao An made such arrangements because Bana City’s military power is very strong and its ties with the Longcheng administrative faction are extremely close. It is no exaggeration to say that it can influence the situation in Longcheng to a certain extent.
This kind of relationship naturally made the White Queen take off on the spot, so she is now regarded as a guest of honor in the top circle of Dragon City.
After receiving instructions from Anze Cheng, Liu Hongxu stayed here, and Brother Qiu immediately led the team and left the villa.
…
Ten minutes later, Brother Qiu, with more than 30 people, drove six or seven military vehicles to the foreign guest hotel in Longcheng.
Because of Tan Hengqiang's engagement, the Longcheng Police Department cooperated with the relevant work and closed several unimportant streets.
In this way, the safety of senior leaders attending the engagement banquet can be ensured without affecting the normal travel of the people of Longcheng.
At this time, Brother Qiu and his convoy were traveling through these closed streets at a very fast speed.
But Brother Qiu's face didn't look good. He was holding his stomach and looking around the street.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu, his deputy who had followed him for many years, asked with some concern: "Brother Qiu, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I don't know what I ate. My stomach hurts a little."
Xiaoyu asked hurriedly: "Why don't we stop for a while?"
Brother Qiu lowered his head, looked at the time, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about it when we get there."
"good."
Xiaoyu had no choice but to nod, and urged the driver: "Drive faster!"
Brother Qiu panicked and quickly reminded him, "Don't! Try to be steady!"
"OK."
The driver understood and gradually accelerated in a steady manner.
…
At the same time, foreign guests hotel.
Dabai was sitting on the big sofa in the suite, looking at his clothes in the large dressing mirror in front of him.
After choosing for a long time, he turned around and asked a young man next to him: "Xiao Qi, do you think I look better in a white suit or a black suit?"
Xiao Qi is a member of the Bai family and is also Dabai's current secretary. He accompanies him on this trip.
Hearing Dabai's question, Xiaoqi grinned and said, "Brother, you look good in anything you wear. Even if you go out in a pair of shorts, people will applaud you."
"hehe."
After listening to this, Dabai pointed at Xiaoqi and said, "Your style of flattery is a template for a treacherous official!"
"If that's the case, then there isn't a single good person in the Lao Li faction! That's how everyone talks!"
"Come on!" Dabai waved his hand: "Okay, let's just choose this black one. Tan Mingchao is getting engaged, so I should be handsome and low-key...!"
The two were bragging when there was a light knock on the door.
Xiao Qi walked over quickly, opened the door and saw a cadre from the Longcheng Municipal Party Committee Office standing outside.
The other party walked in and said to Dabai politely, "Mr. Bai, excuse me for disturbing you."
Dabai buttoned up his suit and asked, "What's the matter?"
The cadre nodded slightly: "It's like this, because the Ministry of Finance needs to report to the leaders, so I want to ask you if we can sign the terms of those contracts today."
Dabai glanced at his watch and agreed without hesitation: "Sure, we still have time. Where do we go to sign?"
"The hotel's conference room will do."
"Okay, let's go."
After both parties finalized the agreement, they left the suite and walked towards the conference room at the end of the corridor.
This time, in addition to attending the engagement banquet, Dabai also has to sign many economic and trade cooperation terms with Longcheng, as well as a series of rights and interests in the canal channel.
Before this, we had discussed it several times and the relevant content had been finalized.
Soon, Dabai followed the other party out of the guest room and into the meeting room.
…
The Anxi convoy arrived at the gate of the Foreign Affairs Hotel, and Brother Qiu led a group of people and walked quickly towards the lobby.
In front of them, many people in work clothes were changing shifts. There were about 20 to 30 of them, holding their work cards and punching in on a machine.
Then, this group of people were let into the hotel one by one under careful inspection by security personnel.
Qiu Ge had no choice but to stand behind and wait for them to finish. At this time, he felt another cramp in his abdomen and couldn't help but hold his stomach again.
Xiaoyu couldn't help but tease, "Brother Qiu, can you still hold it in? It's okay if you can't, I brought a plastic bag."
"Get lost!" Brother Qiu cursed irritably.
After waiting for about five minutes, the staff finally finished their work. Qiu Ge and his friends then walked to the door and showed their credentials to the security guards.
Brother Qiu endured the abdominal pain, his muscles tensed, and tried to speak to the security guard in a calm voice: "Hello, we are here to pick up Chief Bai."
The security guard checked their IDs and glanced at them again: "Do you have any firearms?"
"Yes."
"Hand it in first, and I'll give it back to you when I get back."
Brother Qiu frowned: "We are the An faction garrison, do we still need to hand it over?"
The security guard smiled and said, "Even if you are the Jade Emperor's bodyguard, you have to surrender your gun when you come to me. Please understand. This is also to ensure the safety of foreign guests."
It was urgent to do the work, so Brother Qiu didn't care too much and waved his hand to urge, "Hurry up, hurry up."
The group of people took out their weapons, long and short, thick and thin, and put them all into the box on the table.
"Okay, just come downstairs and get it later." The security guard said, took a label, slapped it on the weapons box, and then stuffed the box under the table.
Brother Qiu was so anxious that his eyes sparkled: "Can we go in?"
The security guard waved his hand and said, "No, you have to wait a while. I have to ask Officer Bai's people to come down and pick you up."
As he spoke, he picked up the intercom and shouted a few words upstairs.
After waiting for about five minutes, Brother Qiu was already sweating profusely, and Xiao Qi finally came out of the hotel.
…
At a certain port, a cargo ship is slowly approaching the shore.
In the cabin's dining room, members of the visiting group were eating around several tables.
Su Tianyu put down the cup, turned his head and asked, "We have been floating on the sea for more than ten days. Do you want to get off the boat and take a walk?"
Su Tiannan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, we'll be there soon. Stay calm and don't run around."
