Liu Haidong's sudden change in attitude made Jiang Weihua and others extremely embarrassed.
Jiang Weihua looked at Liu Haiwu's half-smile and felt bitter in his heart, but he still tried to force a smile on his face. His steps seemed particularly stiff, as if every step was filled with lead, and he mechanically followed Liu Haiwu upstairs.
His mind had been constantly filled with the scene of himself being highly praised in Shannan County after his successful cooperation with Longjian Group. But at this moment, this beautiful fantasy was like a fragile bubble, ruthlessly punctured by reality.
When they walked into the huge conference room, it was empty and the silence was suffocating.
Jiang Weihua's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed in an instant, and his heart felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on it, chilling it halfway.
He was originally full of confidence, firmly believing that this trip would successfully finalize the cooperation and add a strong and colorful stroke to his political achievements. However, the cold and deserted scene in front of him instantly broke his mentality.
"Didn't we say that everything has been discussed? Why is Long Jian so perfunctory? Isn't this looking down on me? After all, I am here to represent Shannan County!"
Jiang Weihua kept questioning himself in his heart, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He sat blankly in the middle of the delegation, his hands clenched into fists, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
Anger, confusion, loss, all kinds of emotions intertwined in his heart, causing him to fall into deep pain.
Liu Haiwu sat alone opposite Jiang Weihua and others, with a nonchalant look on his face and his eyes drifting away from time to time. It was obvious that he had no interest in this reception mission and was just dealing with it out of boredom.
His casual attitude was like a sharp knife, constantly hurting the self-esteem of Jiang Weihua and others.
He was basically a free man in Longjian Group. The fact that Liu Haidong allowed him to receive Jiang Weihua and others was enough to show that Liu Haidong did not attach importance to this group of people.
This feeling of being looked down upon made the whole scene seem unusually cold. Both sides were silent, as if they were blocked by a thick layer of ice curtain.
Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the conference room became so oppressive that it made people breathless. Finally, Jiang Weihua could no longer tolerate the suffocating silence.
When he came, he solemnly promised Secretary Liu Yong that he would definitely bring back good news.
But now, I can't even see Liu Haidong. If Liu Yong knew this, my image in his mind would definitely be greatly reduced.
Moreover, he has so many subordinates following him in the China Merchants Group, but today he is being treated so coldly. The prestige he has built up over the years might collapse in an instant.
No! I have to fight for it anyway.
Jiang Weihua took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions. He pretended to be calm and forced a smile on his face, but that smile was uglier than crying.
He opened his mouth slowly, "Sir, may I ask...what position do you hold in Longjian? What is your name?" His voice trembled slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of flattery.
Liu Haiwu smiled broadly and said, "As for me, I am usually in charge of the office reception work. My last name is Liu."
His answer was brief and casual, and he didn't even look at Jiang Weihua.
"Oh! Mr. Liu, right? Hello, hello... We are here today to sign an agreement with Long Jian. Do you think we can ask the relevant leaders to contact us?"
There was a faint glimmer of hope in Jiang Weihua's eyes, and that look of expectation was as if a drowning person was desperately grasping at the last straw. His tone was full of sincerity and eagerness.
Liu Haiwu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't received any notification in this regard, I'm afraid I can't arrange it for you."
His answer was understated, but it hit Jiang Weihua's heart like a heavy hammer.
"This...but we had already communicated with your company before we came! It was you who asked us to come! Why do you have this attitude now? Are you playing a trick on us?" Jiang Weihua could no longer suppress his inner anger, and his voice unconsciously rose by several decibels.
His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. As a deputy county chief, when had he ever suffered such humiliation and contempt?
Liu Haiwu frowned helplessly. He was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, and now he felt it was even more difficult.
Moreover, he also knew that Li Lin was a cadre of Shannan County. For Li Lin's sake, he didn't want to make things too embarrassing so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Li Lin.
So, he forced a polite smile and said, "Okay, I'll make the contact for you. As for the outcome, I can't make the decision!"
Hearing this, Jiang Weihua seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness. His tense nerves relaxed a little and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that even if Liu Haidong did not show up, as long as he could meet the main person in charge and negotiate the cooperation, he could give an explanation to Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan when he returned.
After Liu Haiwu left the meeting room, he went directly to Liu Haidong's office.
As soon as they met, he asked with a puzzled smile, "Brother, what's going on? Didn't you welcome them at the beginning?"
Liu Haidong smiled and patiently explained, "You don't know, these Shannan County cadres are here to discuss cooperation. I originally thought that Secretary Li Lin would come...
I didn't expect this group of people to come here alone, bypassing Secretary Li Lin. Do you think I can receive them? I let them in because of Secretary Li Lin's face!"
"Ah? They skipped Secretary Li Lin and came to discuss cooperation with us? What are these people thinking? They take themselves too seriously!" Liu Haiwu looked surprised and his eyes widened.
