Zhen Shen County.

Clouds shielded the scorching sun.

Inside the hotel, a welcoming banquet was held for the investors. Initially, a private room was arranged to accommodate twenty people comfortably. However, now there were not only a dozen foreign investors but also over seventy domestic investors. The county couldn't favor one group over the other, so upon receiving a message from Dong Xuebing, the county hastily arranged a banquet hall. The hall was large, with a somewhat festive atmosphere resembling a ballroom. Due to the large number of people, it was challenging to set up tables, so the banquet was changed to a buffet. Nearly a hundred investors, Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, and other county leaders were mingling together. Some stood, some sat on the surrounding sofas, and others found individual dining tables. Food, drinks, and music made the atmosphere lively, and the place was bustling with activity.

The most eye-catching figures inside were still Jiang Fangfang and Zhang Longjuan.

One was elegant and mature, and the other was glamorous and seductive. Wherever they stood, they attracted attention. Beautiful women always stood out.

"Mayor Jiang."

"Mr. Chen is here too?"

"Oh, you still remember me."

"Of course, this time I want to take another look at the project from last time."

"Yes, take another look. I haven't decided yet."

"Mayor Jiang, haha, I've been looking for you for a long time. Let's have a drink. Last year, when I came to Zhen Shen County, you didn't give me face. This time, it can't be tea instead of wine."

"Then I'll have red wine."

"Alright, any alcohol will do. I toast to you for choosing Zhen Shen County."

"Good. Bottoms up."

"It's Ms. Zhang, right? Hello."

"Don't call me ‘you.' Just call me Old Zhang. Haha."

"That won't do. I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for choosing our Zhen Shen County."

"No need to be so polite. Haha, your Mayor Dong is my good friend."

"You're Mayor Dong's friend. Naturally, you're also a friend of our Zhen Shen County. I'll toast to you."

"Alright, bottoms up."

The division of labor in the banquet hall was clear.

Jiang Fangfang was responsible for building good relationships with these domestic investors, chatting with everyone about projects or just casual topics. Most of the investors who came this time were males, and having such a beautiful county mayor around pleased everyone. On the other side, Secretary Meng and several county officials were responsible for communicating with foreign investors. Secretary Meng's secretary, Zhang Feng, surprisingly had a good command of English, and her translation skills were much better than the few people hastily brought in from the city. Secretary Meng also intentionally approached Zhang Longjuan and chatted with her.

Of course, the busiest person there was Dong Xuebing.

Zheng Dayou's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Zheng Dayou couldn't help but frown, "Chen Mingming."

He looked towards Dong Xuebing, wanting to ask, but seeing that Dong Xuebing didn't speak, Zheng Dayou answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, the furious voice of Chen Mingming, the head of the Meiyang District Investment Promotion Bureau, came through, "Old Zheng, what is Zhen Shen County up to?"

Zheng Dayou wasn't in a good mood either, "What do you mean by what we're up to?"

"What do I mean?" Chen Mingming shouted, "You didn't even say hello and just took away the seven investors we contacted. What's the meaning of this?"

The tone was loud.

Dong Xuebing, Cheng Yujie, and others also heard it.

Seeing this, Dong Xuebing stepped forward, took Zheng Dayou's phone, and sternly said, "Why are you shouting? Is your voice naturally this loud?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Dong Xuebing."

"You..."

Dong Xuebing cut him off, "Sober up, Chen Mingming. Let me tell you, don't shout here. The day before yesterday, your Meiyang District snatched investors who were originally heading to our county. Do you remember what I told you then? I didn't say anything. Investment promotion work relies on individual abilities. If you can make investors choose your district, that's your ability. Now that your investors have actively come to our county, don't waste your breath. You, yourself, delayed the investor's inspection, angered them, and now you still have the nerve to argue with us? If I hadn't intervened to smooth things, your punishment wouldn't have been just a disciplinary action."

Chen Mingming held back for a long time, "Who are you to barge in like this?"

Dong Xuebing said, "The investors have chosen our Zhen Shen County. If you can't accept it, come to our county and take them back. I'll be waiting."

Beep.

Dong Xuebing hung up the phone.

Handing the phone back to Zheng Dayou, Dong Xuebing said, "In the future, you might as well not answer such calls. If they want to shout, let them shout. We're doing everything upright and proper. There's no problem at all. There's no need to be concerned. I've never heard of someone fearing confrontation when they're right."

Chen Mingming was indeed furious. He had never seen a county leader so unscrupulous.

Initially, when he was drunk last night, he wanted to mess with Zhen Shen County a bit. Unexpectedly, not only did they not seize Zhen Shen County's foreign investors, but even their investors were embarrassed. Just now, when he sobered up, Chen Mingming received a message that the higher-ups had decided to give each of them an administrative warning.

Defeated.

Humiliated.

Now, every investment promotion department in the city felt this way.

All ten counties, including the city's Investment Promotion Bureau, had colluded to squeeze Zhen Shen County, suppress them, and even set traps to catch them. But the final result was that Dong Xuebing single-handedly dealt with all of them, and he did it ruthlessly.

Dong Xuebing.
