At the groundbreaking ceremony for the project, Luo Guangming invited celebrities from all walks of life to attend.
Jiang Ning even invited Mayor Yu Qi to the site to deliver a speech at the groundbreaking ceremony.
The group company began preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony the day before. The stage was set up, various congratulatory banners were hung, and colorful balloons, flags, air columns, and ornamental columns were all prepared.
This morning, the staff arranged the flower baskets again and placed two excavators in a prominent position.
Foundation stones, shovels, and red silk were placed on the platform.
At eight o'clock, the stereo started playing the latest popular songs.
The lion dance team also began to dance, and firecrackers and drums sounded to create momentum for the groundbreaking ceremony.
More than a hundred chairs were placed below the stage, and the distinguished guests took their seats one after another before 10 o'clock.
The surrounding area was filled with onlookers, a huge crowd discussing the grand groundbreaking ceremony.
"See that woman in the cheongsam? I heard she was the one who made the decision to buy this land, spending over 50 million! She's got guts!"
"This project is a five-star hotel, designed with reference to large hotels abroad. It will definitely be the largest hotel in all of China in the future."
"Look! TV reporters and newspaper reporters are here, taking pictures of the podium! I wonder which important person will be here today!"
Just as they were discussing this, the welcoming music started, and Yu Qi, surrounded by other leaders, walked into the venue and took a seat in the front row.
After the guests were all seated, the host began the ceremony, extending a warm welcome to the leaders and guests.
She gave a detailed introduction to the distinguished guests and leaders of the group company.
When Yu Qi was introduced, he stood up and waved to the people behind him with a warm smile. His gaze swept across the back row and he saw Wang Xiufen clapping and looking at him with admiring eyes.
He nodded slightly and sat up straight again.
After all the leaders had finished their introductions, the host, following the established procedure, invited the relevant leaders to come to the stage and give speeches.
Those leaders included those from the Urban Construction Bureau, the Planning Bureau, and the Market Management Office.
In short, such a large project involves many aspects, and neglecting any one of them can hinder the project's progress.
Finally, Yu Qi took the stage and delivered a speech.
He stated that the construction of this hotel represents the country's economic take-off and symbolizes the great achievements of reform and opening up. He urged all departments to actively cooperate to advance the project on schedule and strive to deliver a satisfactory result by the time the 1990s arrive.
With the mayor's full support, Jiang Ning is confident that the project will be completed smoothly.
During the mayor's speech, the background music was "My Motherland and I." The passionate music and his infectious speech brought the atmosphere of the entire ceremony to a climax.
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.
However, Moses Chan, who was sitting in the back row of the VIP section, was not in such a good mood.
Although he clapped along, his face was as cold as an iceberg.
He glanced at Jiang Ning, his eyes carrying a subtle hint of provocation.
After the leaders finished speaking, the ceremony entered its final stage. All the government leaders and group company leaders went up on stage, each picked up a shovel adorned with silk ribbons, and together they shoveled soil and tossed it onto the foundation stone.
This scene was captured by all the reporters and became the front page headline of the next day's newspapers.
After the ceremony, government leaders, led by hostesses, left the venue in an orderly manner and departed by car.
Other VIPs also left one after another.
Many people would come over to say goodbye to Luo Guangming and Jiang Ning and chat for a few minutes when they left.
"Please come to Fuqiang Building tonight; we have prepared a cocktail party."
The group also prepared a dinner.
"Okay, we'll definitely be there."
Everyone echoed in agreement.
The fact that the mayor was invited to the groundbreaking ceremony of Fuqiang Group is a huge honor and a testament to their strength. The mayor might even attend in the evening, so everyone naturally responded enthusiastically.
With a connection to Fuqiang Group, are you still worried about not having projects in the future?
Moreover, besides Fuqiang Group, Jiang Ning also has an international trading company. If you can cooperate with her, it means you can earn foreign exchange. No one would give up such an opportunity.
In a short time, Fuqiang Group became a rising star in the business world of the capital.
Just as the guests had left and Jiang Ning was accompanying Wang Xiufen to go home, the bodyguard who had been protecting the twins came to report to Jiang Ning that Jiao Jiao and Tong Tong had disappeared two hours ago after being called away by Kun Kun.
Jiang Ning's legs went weak for a moment, and she yelled at the bodyguard.
"Why did it take you so long to report to me?"
The bodyguard was also helpless; after dropping the twins off at school, he would usually wait outside the school.
By the time the teacher realized they were missing and came out to tell them, more than an hour had passed.
Before he could finish explaining, Jiang Ning paced back and forth, trying to come up with a solution.
In any case, the children disappeared from the school, and the bodyguards didn't see them leave the school gate, so it's best to start the search from the school.
Jiang Ning, accompanied by bodyguards, quickly arrived at the school and demanded that the teachers send people to search for the person within the school.
As expected, the two children were eventually found in a sports equipment room.
When they were found, both children were unconscious, with three empty soda bottles next to them.
Jiang Ning quickly took them to the hospital.
After emergency treatment, the two children were finally out of danger, but they still hadn't woken up. The doctor told Jiang Ning that they had been found to have traces of sedatives in their bodies. Although the drugs were clearing them out, it would take time to completely purify their blood.
The homeroom teacher was terrified when she heard about this.
“Jiaojiao’s mom, I really don’t know how they got into the equipment room. Normally, no one is allowed in there, and the room is always locked.”
Jiang Ning pursed her lips and remained silent, sitting by Jiao Jiao and Tong Tong's bedside, waiting for them to wake up.
Perhaps they will only know the truth when they wake up.
Prior to this, Jiang Ning went directly to the school and asked the principal to close the school and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
She suspected that the person who gave them the soda was someone from the school who was very familiar with the twins.
Principal Wang Hua initially had some reservations, feeling that she was making a mountain out of a molehill.
He only agreed to cooperate after Lin Chen had brought the police to the school and taken coercive measures.
However, keeping so many primary school students confined at school and preventing them from going home has caused dissatisfaction among the students' parents, who have gathered at the school gate demanding an explanation from the school.
Under pressure, the police had no choice but to register the students and let them leave one by one.
Jiang Ning understood what the police were doing, but when the teacher wanted to leave the school, Lin Chen firmly refused to let her.
"Is it appropriate for teachers to stand idly by when something like this happens to students? Nobody's leaving tonight!"
The equipment room was cordoned off, and the police registered the teachers overnight, especially those who had access to the equipment room.
After handing over the school affairs to Lin Chen, Jiang Ning returned to the hospital to stay with the children.
