Chapter 301: Cold Reception
Since Ye Ming finished saying that, Zhang Jiankun didn't say a word, he kept leaning his head on the back of the car, and closed his eyes with a gloomy face. Ye Ming didn't take the initiative to take care of him, and sat calmly on the other side, glancing out of the car window with his eyes a few times, watching the scenery on both sides with great interest. Su Xueling was already preoccupied, and when she saw that they were silent, she didn't bother to find anything to say, staring at the distant mountains and rivers in front of the car window, and fell into a state of contemplation......
From this time on, until the plane landed at the capital airport, Zhang Jiankun never looked at Ye Ming with his eyes again, nor did he say half a word to him......
At the pick-up gate of the airport, Director Lou of the Min'an Municipal Office in Beijing led a group of entrepreneurs to wait there early. I don't know if it is a deliberate arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, the entrepreneurs who picked up the airport are welcomed by the county and city signs, and the rightmost is Director Lou, holding a sign of "Warmly welcome Minister Zhang Jiankun and members of the Min'an City Investment Promotion Group"; To the left of Director Lou, there is a businessman representative, holding a sign that reads "Warmly welcome Secretary Su of the Min'an District Committee and Director Liu of the China Merchants Bureau"; Further to the left, there are representatives of businessmen from several other counties and districts, each holding a sign welcoming the secretary of the county and the director of the investment promotion bureau, but there is no one from Beishan County.
Ye Ming knew that Zhang Jiankun would definitely tell those entrepreneurs in Beishan about his insistence on his own unwillingness to compromise before getting on the plane, and it was estimated that they would find a way to embarrass themselves, but he didn't expect them to arrange a farce to "humiliate" themselves so quickly, and the contempt and anger towards Zhang Jiankun in his heart added a little more!
Several other county and city secretaries also noticed Ye Ming's predicament, and they all looked at him with complicated eyes, with different expressions on their faces: sympathetic, surprised, gloating, and complacent...... All kinds of expressions!
Su Xueling followed closely behind Ye Ming, and when she saw that Beishan County was the only one missing from those welcome signs, she immediately understood the reason, and looked up at Zhang Jiankun, who was shaking hands with Director Lou and the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes, but this look was fleeting, and she turned her head to look at Ye Ming, who was walking side by side with her, and saw that he had a calm look on his face, as if he didn't take this kind of cold reception and humiliation to heart, and couldn't help but admire his determination to be pampered......
When Ye Ming and Su Xueling walked out of the pick-up gate, an old man in his sixties with bright eyes, accompanied by Zhang Jiankun, Director Lou and several other businessmen, walked over quickly, greeted Su Xueling warmly, shook hands with Su Xueling, and said in a voice that was very inconsistent with his age: "Xiao Su, I called Minister Zhang two days ago and said that at the inaugural meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, we must invite you, a famous flower drum opera, to come over and add luster to our celebrations. The last time we met, I said: I started listening to Flower Drum Opera when I was seven or eight years old, and I have been listening to it for nearly 60 years, and I have to listen to a classic song of Flower Drum Opera almost every day to fall asleep.
"I used to like to listen to the plays of Li Guyi, Ling Guokang, Xiao Chong, Zhao Juyun and other teachers, but after you debuted and became famous more than ten years ago, I became your most loyal fan. The last time we met, I sang a piece of "Mending the Pot" with you, and this time I am going to sing a song "Bangs Chopping Wood" with you at the celebration site, to satisfy my long-cherished wish of an old flower drum fan for many years, hahaha! ”
As soon as Ye Ming heard the old man's words, he knew that he must be Qiu Haiyun, the president of the Min'an Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Jiankun, Director Lou and several businessmen who followed closely behind Qiu Haiyun saw Qiu Haiyun laughing, so they also applauded and laughed with him.
Then, Qiu Haiyun pointed to several other businessmen who followed him, and said to Su Xueling: "Xiao Su, this Mr. Liu Hong and Mr. * are all from Beishan, and you have known each other four years ago, so I won't introduce them." The rest are also well-known entrepreneurs from Min'an, and they are all directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and I will introduce them to you one by one. ”
Subsequently, he introduced several other businessmen to Su Xueling.
Ye Ming saw that Liu Hong, * and other entrepreneurs from Beishan were indeed in the welcome team, but he deliberately did not hold a sign to welcome him, the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, and was even more convinced that this was deliberately arranged by Zhang Jiankun and Liu Hong and others, and the resentment in his heart was even more irrepressible, but his face was still silent, and he stood aside silently and watched coldly......
After Su Xueling waited for Qiu Haiyun to introduce all the people, she quickly returned to Ye Ming's side, and said to Qiu Haiyun, Liu Hong and the others with a smile: "Bosses, this is Secretary Ye of our Beishan County Party Committee. Secretary Ye has just been promoted to Beishan, and you may not know each other, so I take the liberty to introduce it. ”
Qiu Haiyun set his eyes on Ye Ming at this time, the smile on his face was undiminished, but there was obviously a trace of disdain in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to Ye Ming very politely, saying "Lucky will be lucky", but there was no trace of "lucky meeting" in his expression.
Seeing that Su Xueling solemnly introduced Ye Ming, Qiu Haiyun shook hands with Ye Ming again, so he had to walk over and shake Ye Ming's hand, and said a few polite words such as "Jiuyang" without smiling, and then quickly flashed to the side and stood with Zhang Jiankun.
Ye Ming has been refined into steel at this time, quite a bit of a calm mentality of "Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remains unchanged", although he knew that Liu Hong and others were instructed by Zhang Jiankun to deliberately snub and humiliate themselves, but when he shook hands with them, he was still full of smiles, as if he didn't take today's cold reception as a thing, which made Liu Honghe* a little drumming in his heart, and couldn't figure out what this young and quiet county party secretary was thinking......
When rushing to the hotel where the welcome banquet was held, Ye Ming encountered embarrassment again: Zhang Jiankun and other city leaders, as well as secretaries of other counties and districts, and directors of the China Merchants Bureau, were all dragged by their county's business representatives to take their luxury cars, but he, the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, had no one to invite him to take the car, so he could only go to the minibus of the Beijing Office of the People's Security with those accompanying service personnel and news reporters.
Su Xueling had already been pulled by Qiu Haiyun to take his Bentley Flying Spur, but seeing that Ye Ming was mixed in a group of service personnel and news reporters, and was about to follow those people to get on the bus, she quickly turned around and walked back, followed behind Ye Ming, and prepared to get on the bus.
Director Lou of the Beijing Office hurriedly ran over and said, "Director Su, Chairman Qiu invites you and Minister Zhang to take his car, go over quickly, the car is waiting for you." ”
Su Xueling said very coldly: "Director Lou, I followed Secretary Ye to attract investment, and my duty is to be a good assistant and do a good job of service for Secretary Ye, not to accompany the leader and boss to ride in luxury cars, drink and sing." Please tell Chairman Qiu and Minister Zhang: I appreciate their kindness, but I can't forget my identity and responsibilities. Thank you! ”
