Chapter 413 It's not necessarily a blessing to be flattered
Li Nan stayed in Lanzhi for three days, and then went to Dujiang with the Lanzhi County investment promotion team to participate in the reporting work of the investment promotion meeting.
True to his word, Fu Shengyang brought many reporters to attend the ceremony on the first day of the investment fair and delivered a passionate speech.
Both Zhong Minxiu and Mu Xiaotian attended the ceremony that day.
The first and second leaders of the county party committee personally led the team, and leaders of the municipal party committee came to the ceremony to support them. Meng Jinxing remembered Ge Yunzhuang's instructions and did not appear in Dujiang that day.
Shi Ju and the people from the Investment Promotion Office followed Mu Xiaotian, and the mobile phone in her hand was getting hot. Not to mention the companies that were interested were hesitant and unwilling to come to the site to sign contracts, and those Nannan companies that had already negotiated at every turn
When relocating a business, there are always reasons why you can't spare the time to sign a contract today.
Accompanying Xiaoxing, he reported the situation to Mu Xiaotian. Shi Ju took advantage of Fu Shengyang's presence. Mu Xiaotian was too embarrassed to lecture, so he immediately ran away and called Meng Jinxing to come to the rescue.
Fu Shengyang led a group of municipal party committee members, accompanied by Zhong Minxiu and Mu Xiaotian, and walked around the exhibition hall. His face became increasingly ugly, and he finally left without saying a word.
Zhong Minxiu also returned to Lanzhi immediately.
Mu Xiao angrily asked Shi Lei to find Shi Ju and reprimanded him loudly in front of everyone, "...Today is such a big occasion. The leaders of the municipal party committee and so many reporters from the news organizations came to support in person, but you didn't even prepare for the signing of the contract.
How did you become the director of the Investment Promotion Office?"
Shi Ju had never had a grain of rice or water in her mouth from morning until now. She was sweating all over her head and face. Her face was as pale as a vegetable after being scolded by Mu Xiaotian, and she was full of grievances and had no place to complain.
After Mu Xiaotian finished breathing, he glanced around and asked angrily: "Where is Meng Jinxing?"
Shi Ju quickly said: "The construction of the mining medical point is fully completed. An acceptance team from the Provincial Health Department went to Dujiang and Meng County today to accompany them to the mining area."
"Sanitation is Huang Liang's responsibility, what is he going to do?" Mu Xiaotian was quite unhappy.
"But the mining industry is in charge of Meng County!" Shi Ju muttered and continued.
Mu Xiaotian glanced at him, waved his hand and strode away. The huge exhibition hall suddenly became deserted.
…
Meng Jinxing and Huang Liang, together with the first and second leaders of Lanzhi Mining Hospital, accompanied the inspection team of the Provincial Department of Health for two days in the mining area. They returned to Dujiang alone and attended the inauguration ceremony of the new Lanzhi Sino-German auto parts production line.
We also held discussions with a group of old employees who had been transferred from agricultural machinery factories, listened to their work and living conditions, and solved problems for some of the employees who had difficulties on the spot.
On the fourth day of the investment fair, Mu Yuansheng went to Dujiang to inspect the Tokugawa Building, which was renovated from the former county government building. Meng Jinxing went to attend the inauguration ceremony of the building, and the person who drove him was Tian Rong again.
"Why are you here today?" Meng Jinxing asked casually as he got in the car.
"Chen Chang had something to do, so he transferred me here." Tian Rong smiled and handed Meng Jinxing a bottle of mineral water, "Meng County, drink water."
"Thank you." Meng Jinxing took it and put it in the door pocket of the car.
Tian Rong glanced at him through the reflector, and her disappointment flashed past.
The grand opening ceremony of Tokugawa Building was beyond Meng Jinxing's expectation. Not only Fu Shengyang and Deng Kun were present, but also Liang Yu, Liu Guohua, and Vice Governor Gao Shan came to congratulate.
In comparison, only one of the leading cadres of Lanzhi County was present, Meng Jinxing, which seemed very unconventional.
Meng Jinxing took advantage of the time when the leaders on the stage were cutting the ribbon and found an opportunity to ask Mu Yuansheng's secretary whether he had not informed the commissioning office in advance.
Unexpectedly, the secretary smiled slightly and said that it was Mu Dong's idea that there were too many people coming and it was unnecessary. You introduced this project, and Lanzhi only needs you to be present.
Meng Jinxing couldn't help but wonder, what does Mu Yuansheng mean?
Anyone else would definitely be happy that Mu Yuansheng valued him so much.
Not so with Meng Jinxing.
He now fully understands the difficulty of walking in official circles. This kind of courtesy that seems to be beautiful on the surface, on the other hand, puts him in a position of public criticism. No leader of the county committee and county government will be happy if he knows about it.
It happened that the provincial and municipal leaders were all present today, so he couldn't just walk away and show his dissatisfaction to Mu Yuansheng.
He looked up at Mu Yuansheng, who was cutting the ribbon with a smile on his face, holding a red silk hand. Suddenly, he felt that the smile was chilling under the strong sunlight, and he himself felt like a thorn in his back.
Deng Kun lowered the window before getting into the car and leaving, beckoning Meng Jinxing over, "Xiao Meng, the investment promotion meeting is not a decoration. Although you have a lot of burdens now, investment promotion work is always a prerequisite for development, and you should be concerned about it.
You still have to pay more attention to me, and you can’t always let your first and second leaders run ahead and help you do your work!”
"I will definitely remember the mayor's criticism and take the investment promotion work seriously," Meng Jinxing replied.
Deng Kun nodded, "Is the investment fair about to end? I'm waiting for your transcripts!" After he finished speaking, he patted the back of the driver's seat and asked the driver to drive.
Meng Jinxing stood side by side with Mu Yuansheng and others. After watching the municipal government's motorcade leave, he turned around and said to Mu Yuansheng: "Mr. Mu, thank you for inviting me as your deputy to attend such a grand occasion today. It is a great honor! I also
If something happens, don’t bother me.”
"Meng County please." Mu Yuansheng smiled and asked Meng Jinxing to get in the car without asking him to stay.
As soon as the car drove away, Tian Rong said: "Meng County, you have to be careful these two days."
Meng Jinxing didn't respond, so he expected her to continue talking.
Sure enough, Tian Rong saw that Meng Jinxing had his eyes closed and did not respond, so she had to say the following by herself, "I heard from Director Shi that Mu County has been holding back a lot of anger for the investment promotion meeting for the past two days, and today I heard that De
Chuan made such a big fuss but only invited you. He was so angry that he pounded the table and scolded Mu Yuansheng for being arrogant!"
Meng Jinxing thought, scold me!
I was thinking to myself, but there was still no expression on my face, and I didn't even open my mouth.
Tian Rong shut her mouth boredly and concentrated on driving.
That night, Meng Jinxing and Guan Xinnan hosted a banquet for Xu Heng and Zhu Yaochang. Not only Chen Yunlai, but also the Zhu family brothers and sisters were present, and even Bao Heping came to accompany them.
Zhu Yi dragged Zhu Cheng and Bao Heping here because after she tested Meng Jinxing with Li Nan that morning, Meng Jinxing never answered her call again. She confirmed that Meng Jinxing was really angry.
, also realized that Meng Jinxing really had feelings for Lei Yunyao, and she was even more jealous. After vowing to destroy their marriage, she decided to change her strategy.
With Zhu Cheng and Bao Heping around, and in front of the two investors, it was indeed hard for Meng Jinxing to be too distant from Zhu Yi, but his attitude was not as casual as in the past.
During the banquet, Meng Jinxing went outside to answer the phone. Zhu Cheng followed him out later and talked to Meng Jinxing.
"Be careful, I apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Yi!" Zhu Cheng and Zhu Yi have different personalities. They are sincere and down-to-earth people. When they say one sentence, their expressions are full of apologies.
Meng Jinxing felt a little uncomfortable. The relationship between him and Zhu Yi has always been a secret. Does Zhu Cheng's apology mean that he knows what happened between his sister and Meng Jinxing, or did Zhu Yi lie in front of Zhu Cheng?
Zhu Cheng didn't know what Meng Jinxing was thinking, so he continued: "Xiaoyi has been willful since she was a child. She always fights for the people or things she likes. I had a good talk with her. After all, feelings are different from ordinary things.
It has to be approved by both parties. Besides, you have a family, and it’s not good for her to keep pestering you like this!"
Meng Jinxing looked at him awkwardly, feeling that nothing he said was appropriate.
Zhu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Cao Ping also talked to her heart-to-heart. She has also figured it out and won't bother you anymore."
When Meng Jinxing heard this, Zhu Yi did not fully confess to her brother and sister-in-law what was going on between them, but instead expressed her own wishful thinking.
After hearing this, Meng Jinxing felt slightly sorry.
In any case, Zhu Yi is a girl with excellent conditions in all aspects. She is even far superior to Lei Yunyao in many aspects. Being favored by her is the yearning of many young men.
Meng Jinxing is also an ordinary person in this regard, and sometimes he feels quite proud when he thinks about it.
This was also a big reason why he clearly felt that this girl was dangerous, yet he was tempted by her and went to bed again and again. In his opinion, although he had no feelings for her, she was in love with her after all.
Listening to Zhu Cheng's words at this moment, he was even more convinced that Zhu Yi had true feelings. He was depressed and told his brother and sister-in-law about his feelings, but in the end he still remembered to protect his reputation and did not say that they had slept together.
He finally said sincerely to Zhu Cheng: "Zhu Yi is a good girl, but I dare not accept her love. I feel ashamed!"
"Hahaha..." Zhu Cheng smiled and pushed Meng Jinxing, "Just let it go. Don't ignore her with a fierce face. If we can't be a family, we can always be friends, right?"
It's okay that Zhu Cheng didn't say this, but when he said this, Meng Jinxing's heart sank. Could this be Zhu Yi's little trick because he stopped paying attention to her?
However, after all the talk, he couldn't refuse Zhu Cheng's enthusiasm. After all, given Zhu Cheng's family background, it was rare to truly regard him as a friend.
Back in the private room, Zhu Cheng laughed and asked Zhu Yi to toast. Meng Jinxing and Zhu Yi clinked glasses and drank a glass each. The little farce came to an end for the time being. Although Meng Jinxing didn't know what Zhu Yi was thinking, deep down in his heart,
I always feel like something is wrong.
…
The next day was the last day of the investment promotion conference. Meng Jinxing went to the venue in Dujiang early in the morning.
When Shi Ju saw him, she came up to him, pointed to the sparsely crowded exhibition hall and said, "Muxian came as soon as the doors opened, and his face was so gloomy that he looked like he was about to be beaten..."
Before he could say the word "thunder", Mu Xiaotian had already walked over and said to Meng Jinxing from five or six meters away: "Jinxing, it was you who strongly advocated the relocation of industries and enterprises to the south. What, are these enterprises moving or not?"
Not moving?”
Meng Jinxing sneered in his heart. Mu Xiaotian ran faster than anyone else when it came to grabbing the credit. When the investment meeting suffered a slight setback, he was blamed for not signing contracts with industrial companies!
"Mu County, have you forgotten? I have been busy with the upgrading of the industrial park recently. Negotiations for the relocation of industries and enterprises to the south are being run by the leadership group. You should know better than me!" Meng Jinxing smiled and faced Mu Xiaotian.
Mu Xiaotian was at a loss for words. He originally wanted to prevent Meng Jinxing from coming to Taiwan, but because the old man had forced him into the leading group for relocating industrial enterprises to the south, and Meng Jinxing's recent work direction was indeed not focused on negotiations, he was just trying to kill him.
Chapter completed!
