Chapter 24: Rejection
Qiao Xi was sent to the long-distance station by Zhang Liang, got on the car to the city, and after four or five hours of going around, he appeared in this bustling city.
There is a stark contrast between this place and Koquanzi Village, with high-rise buildings, roads extending in all directions, and bustling crowds everywhere.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and she called her classmates, determined where to meet, shuttled through the neon-lit streets, and appeared in a restaurant.
Song Huihui is Qiao Xi's four-year classmate in college, she is a chubby girl, and now she sits in the office of the city government, and she comes to a bear hug when she sees Qiao Xi.
"My good baby, why did you lose weight like this?" Song Huihui beckoned the waiter over and ordered several dishes in one go.
Qiao Xi didn't explain too much, and directly cut to the topic, "Huihui, you work in the municipal government, can you let me infiltrate the site of the investment promotion, I want to go in and pull some funds for our Xiaoquanzi Village." ”
Song Huihui rolled her eyes directly, looked at the meal sent by the waiter, and handed the chopsticks to Qiao Xi, "Xixi, don't think about this, I'll also go and help you inquire, it's impossible at all, if you want to enter the investment promotion, you must have an invitation letter." The government also invites entrepreneurs to transform and upgrade the local industrial chain and promote economic development and transformation. What is your reason for entering the investment association? If the municipal government wants these entrepreneurs to settle down here, they need to constantly promote the city brand, not to mention your Xiaoquanzi Village? ”
Qiao Xi was silent, his chopsticks chattering on the rice in the bowl, and he lost his appetite at all.
"Xixi, don't get angry. Since you have come to the city, I will play here for a few days, and I will tell you early if there are any good policies of the city government in the future. Song Huihui comforted.
Qiao Xi ate two bites of rice and raised his head, "Huihui, what kind of companies are coming to the investment promotion this time?" ”
"There are companies in everything." Song Huihui thought for a while, "The real industry, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, drones, and travel companies and so on. ”
Qiao Xi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Song Huihui's arm, "Huihui, can you tell me about that tourism company, I have been studying what kind of development path is suitable for our Xiaoquanzi Village recently, and tourism seems to be suitable for us." ”
Song Huihui was a little embarrassed, and under Qiao Xi's repeated questioning, she spoke: "Actually, this is not a secret, it has been introduced on the official website of the government, it is a large tourism company, Jinding Tourism Company, and their boss personally came to participate in the investment promotion." ”
"Is their boss named Ji Xuyang?" Qiao Xi had already opened his mobile phone to search for Jinding Tourism, saw the official introduction, and looked up and asked.
Song Huihui nodded, and said with a smile: "It's him, I also saw him come to the city government today, he is very handsome, and he is not very old." ”
Qiao Xi also saw a photo of Ji Xuyang on the Internet, which was indeed similar to what Song Huihui said, but her focus was obviously not here, and her eyes became hot, "Ji Xuyang has come to the city, do you know which hotel she lives in?" ”
Song Huihui became vigilant, "What are you doing?" You don't want to meet him privately, do you? I'm telling you, don't poke the basket, the government finally invited him, and you scared him away. ”
Qiao Xi was so anxious that he almost swore an oath, "No, I just want to meet him and ask him to show us a way for Xiaoquanzi Village to develop." ”
Song Huihui looked at Qiao Xi with some distress, "Xixi, from the time you sit down, all you talk about is your village, is it really worth it for you to do this?" ”
Qiao Xi smiled, her eyes showed a bright light, and her expression became firm, "It's worth it!" This is also the mission given to us by this era, what are we educated for so many years, isn't it to realize self-worth? Do you remember what we used to say? A person can be ordinary but not mediocre, bury his head in doing ordinary things, and take on the mission given to us by this era, then our life will be extraordinary. ”
Song Huihui seemed to have returned to that passionate time, with a faint excitement in her eyes, and then smiled, "Okay, I'm afraid of you with so many big reasons waiting for me." I'll tell you the hotel where Ji Xuyang lives, and it just so happens that his accommodation is also arranged by us in advance. ”
5th Floor, Shangri-La Hotel, Room 508.
After Qiao Xi finished dinner, he appeared at the door of Ji Xuyang's room, tidied up the white shirt on his body, and rang the doorbell.
The door quickly opened, and a tall man stood in front of Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi has seen his photos on the website before, and this is even more good up close, his facial features are very handsome and delicate, he is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, and his body is well-proportioned and sturdy, and he is a sports enthusiast at first glance.
"You are?" Ji Xuyang's voice was very pleasant.
"Hello, my name is Qiao Xi." Qiao Xi calmly stretched out his palm, "You should be Mr. Ji Xuyang, right?" Today, I also read the introduction of your Jinding tourism company on the Internet, I am the resident secretary of Xiaoquanzi Village, can I delay you a little time? ”
"Secretary Qiao, hello." Ji Xuyang's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, but he still shook Qiao Xi's hand politely, "If there is anything, it doesn't matter if you say it." ”
His palms were wide and dry, and they were also very powerful, which made Qiao Xi feel a lot of favor.
"Mr. Ji, are you here to participate in the China Merchants Association?" Qiao Xi took out a stack of materials that had been prepared long ago from his backpack, "This is a detailed introduction to our village, Mr. Ji can take a look, I think our village is very suitable for tourism development, surrounded by mountains, the people are simple, and there are many preserved old buildings." ”
Ji Xuyang looked at the information in his hand for a while, and then found the village photos taken by Qiao Xi from it, and said politely: "I'm sorry Secretary Qiao, I won't consider the investment in your village for the time being." ”
He looked at his watch, still smiling, "If nothing else, I'm going to rest." ”
Qiao Xi was anxious, "Mr. Ji, do you want to think about it again, our village is very sincere." ”
Ji Xuyang shook his head, "Secretary Qiao, let me tell you the truth, your village is not suitable for tourism, at least not for now, I don't see anything that attracts me, I just see poverty and backwardness." ”
Qiao Xi's heart sank, and just as he was about to speak, Ji Xuyang was already frowning a little displeased, "Secretary Qiao, I am a businessman, you seem to have found the wrong person, and the poverty alleviation should be done with your government's poverty alleviation office." ”
Qiao Xi's face turned red, coughed twice, and said, "Mr. Ji, can you come to our village for a field trip?" Give us a chance, shall we? ”
"I'm really going to rest." Ji Xuyang didn't stop at all, strode into the door, and before Qiao Xi could catch up, Peng closed the door with a bang.
Qiao Xi touched her nose and felt embarrassed, but for the sake of the development of the village, she had no choice.
She is not alone, there are more than 200 families waiting for her behind her, hoping that she can lead them out of poverty. Like the outside world, the old can be supported and the sick can be treated.
She thought about it and didn't leave the hotel, but sat at the door of Ji Xuyang's room. She decided to wait for him here and be sure to come out tomorrow morning.
She took out a pen and paper from her backpack, she was too hasty before, and she didn't express the superiority of Xiaoquanzi Village clearly, she decided to write a new material to Ji Xuyang, hoping to make him a little interested.
After writing the material, she hugged her legs and fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Ji Xuyang came out of the room, almost tripped over Qiao Xi, and looked up, revealing infinite surprise.
Qiao Xi rubbed his eyes and woke up, then stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, are you awake?" ”
"You've been here all the time last night?" Ji Xuyang's eyes showed a bit of complexity.
Qiao Xi just smiled and handed over the materials that had been rewritten last night, "Mr. Ji, look at this again, our village still has a lot of capital for tourism development." ”
Ji Xuyang waved his hand, "Secretary Qiao, I made my intentions clear yesterday, and now I'm going out for breakfast, can you please end here?" ”
"Would you like to take a look?" Watching Ji Xuyang stride away, Qiao Xi was a little lost, biting her lip and staying where she was.
Ji Xuyang entered the elevator, and at the moment when he was about to close the elevator door, Qiao Xi rushed in from the outside.
"Mr. Ji, where are you going to have breakfast, together, or I'll invite you."
