"Secretary Liu, I will go to Longjian Group to sign the agreement today. You and County Mayor Ma just wait for my good news!" Jiang Weihua said with a confident smile.
Facing the confident Jiang Weihua, Liu Yong pretended to be calm, nodded firmly at him, and said, "Well, go ahead. County Magistrate Ma and I will be waiting for you to come back to the hotel for the celebration party!"
His words were full of encouragement and expectation, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
Liu Yong knew that this cooperation was full of uncertainties, but he didn't want to dampen Jiang Weihua's enthusiasm, so he could only pray silently in his heart that everything would go well.
...
At Longjian’s headquarters, Liu Haidong was sitting in the boss chair, thinking about the company’s future development.
At this time, the secretary came in and reported, "Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the Shannan County project is coming to our group today to discuss cooperation. What kind of reception do you think we should give him?"
Liu Haidong answered without hesitation, "Of course we will give him the highest level of reception. Secretary Li Lin is the benefactor of our Longjian Group."
Ever since Wang Zhili of Sanding Trading disappeared, Longjian Group has terminated all cooperation with Sanding.
Now Longjian’s sales rights in Hanjiang have been fully handed over to Dongsheng Group.
Dongsheng Group was very generous and paid Long Jian more than 200 million yuan for the goods in advance. This money solved Long Jian’s urgent needs.
Liu Haidong knew very well that all this was inseparable from Li Lin's help.
Therefore, Li Lin's position in Liu Haidong's mind is supreme. As long as Li Lin says a word, Liu Haidong is willing to do anything for him.
Now that the Shannan County delegation has come to discuss cooperation, he doesn't need to think too much to know that Li Lin must be among them, so he must give him the highest level of courtesy.
However, after thinking about it, Liu Haidong felt puzzled again.
Logically speaking, he and Li Lin have a very close relationship now. Why didn't Li Lin inform him in advance when Shannan County wanted to discuss cooperation?
He was full of doubts, so he picked up his phone and prepared to ask Li Lin what time he would arrive.
But surprisingly, when he called Li Lin several times, the phone was always turned off.
This made him feel uneasy and he didn't know what was going on.
Why did Li Lin turn off his phone at this important moment? He was filled with questions.
Seeing that Liu Haidong had no other instructions, the secretary was about to arrange the reception work, but was suddenly stopped by Liu Haidong.
Liu Haidong thought for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute, Secretary Li Lin's phone call is not going through, and I'm not sure what happened in the meantime.
So, you notify the group's top management, and come with me downstairs to welcome the Shannan County delegation. If Secretary Li Lin comes along, we will receive them according to the highest standards. If Secretary Li Lin doesn't come..."
The secretary was a little dazed. He didn't know what to do if Secretary Li Lin didn't come, so he asked, "What if Secretary Li Lin didn't come?"
Liu Haidong sneered and said, "Secretary Li Lin hasn't even come yet, so what's the point of talking about cooperation? We'll see what happens when the time comes!"
At this time, Liu Haidong began to wonder. He didn't understand why Li Lin couldn't be contacted at the critical moment when he attached so much importance to the Longjian project?
However, he knew very well that as long as Li Lin did not give the order and did not get Li Lin's approval, this cooperation project could not be signed with anyone!
Twenty minutes later, the secretary came in again and reported that the representative sent by Shannan County would arrive at the headquarters soon.
Liu Haidong nodded, stood up and prepared to go downstairs to greet him.
He straightened his clothes and then walked downstairs with the group's top executives.
...
At this time, Jiang Weihua and his party drove slowly into the Longjian headquarters in two cars.
When Jiang Weihua saw the crowd standing at the door waiting to greet them, a smug look appeared on his face.
He thought that Longjian Group attached so much importance to the cooperation with Shannan County, it seemed that the successful signing of the contract was a foregone conclusion.
His heart was filled with confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of success.
When the vehicle stopped in front of the headquarters, he got out first in high spirits. Without waiting for the comrades from China Merchants Group to catch up, he walked towards Liu Haidong and other senior executives of Longjian with a smile on his face.
His steps were brisk and powerful, as if announcing to the world that his success was about to come.
"Mr. Liu, sorry for keeping you waiting!" Jiang Weihua said, and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Liu Haidong.
His face was filled with a warm smile and his eyes were full of anticipation.
However, Liu Haidong did not respond to his enthusiasm immediately.
He smiled politely and did not rush to shake hands with him. Instead, he looked around, searching for Li Lin in the crowd.
But what surprised him was that after everyone in the car got off, Li Lin was nowhere to be seen.
He was full of doubts, but he didn't immediately turn cold. Instead, he shook hands with Jiang Weihua symbolically, then asked him with a smile, "Comrade, where is Secretary Li Lin? Why didn't he come?"
He wanted to confirm one last time why Li Lin didn't show up.
Jiang Weihua was caught off guard by Liu Haidong's question. He originally thought that his arrival would be warmly welcomed, but he didn't expect that Liu Haidong's focus was on Li Lin.
His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, but he still pretended to be calm and replied, "Li Lin has other important things to deal with. I will be fully responsible for this cooperation."
What is more important than Longjian's project? Didn't Li Lin go through so much trouble just to introduce Longjian Group to Weishui Township?
Liu Haidong understood everything instantly... He thought, the phone was turned off and he didn't show up for the negotiation. He must have been dumped by those people in Shannan County!
Jiang Weihua, Yu Xiubao and others were still waiting for Liu Haidong's next words with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Liu Haidong's face darkened, and he didn't even bother to perfunctorily respond. He said coldly, "Leaders, please go upstairs first. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you... Haiwu, you accompany the county leaders."
Jiang Weihua, Yu Xiubo and the others were stunned. How could Liu Haidong's attitude change so quickly? Was it because Li Lin didn't come?
At this time, all the senior executives also understood Liu Haidong's attitude and followed Liu Haidong away.
In an instant, the warm welcome became cold.
Only Liu Haiwu and his secretary were left at the door. They looked at Jiang Weihua and others who were standing there in a daze with smiles in their eyes.
"Please come in, everyone. Let's go to the conference room upstairs to talk." Liu Haiwu raised his hand and said politely.
Jiang Weihua was helpless, and the heroic spirit in his heart suddenly disappeared...
