About ten minutes later.

The team members dialed all the assigned numbers.

Zhang Mingchen reported, "Team leader, I got through to three people, but they all said the same thing. They all said they had urgent matters at home and couldn't come!"

Xiao Qi also said solemnly, "Team Leader, it's the same here. They either said their family members were sick or they were sick and asked them to send a representative over. But they hung up the phone before they finished speaking. It's very strange... What happened?"

In other words, except for the representatives from Longjian, Dongsheng and the Textile Association, the other 32 merchants could not come!

In an instant, Li Lin felt that the entire sky darkened, and the dark clouds made it impossible to breathe.

Without hesitation, he reported the situation to Qian Lingyun. "Mayor Qian, there is an emergency in the investment promotion. All 32 specially invited merchants have lost contact!"

Qian Lingyun took a deep breath when he heard this, and suddenly stood up from his chair. He stood there for a long time without saying anything, and finally asked in a murmur, "How could this happen?"

Soon, all city leaders learned the bad news.

Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi hurriedly ran to the city hotel. As soon as they entered the room, they loudly questioned Li Lin, "What's going on? How did you manage to be the person in charge? Why couldn't anyone be contacted at the critical moment?"

"Li Lin! I don't care what method you use, get in touch with these merchants now!"

Yang Wanquan's hysterical voice instantly spread throughout the entire office area.

All the office staff walked out of the room and looked anxiously in the direction where the sound came from.

One group of team members was more like students who couldn't hand in their homework. They kept their heads down and remained silent, feeling anxious.

They realized that this thing was screwed!
