"Shameless! What's wrong with everyone these days? Is everyone so shameless?" He stood up angrily, wanting to slam his fist on the table, but he felt suffocated.
"These so-called experts, pointing fingers and talking about brother cities all the time, turn around and do this kind of thing! What kind of science and technology discussion is this? What a load of crap!"
"The provincial government called this morning, saying we should be cautious about this investment and avoid provoking too much of a reaction. It was supposed to be a good thing," a middle-aged man said.
"It was all Lu Feng's doing. Those cities are just jealous. What good is being jealous? They should do it themselves!" Mayor Wang's face was contorted with anger. What a great thing it was, something that was supposed to bring glory, but now it's being cursed like this.
"Now it's not just these three cities, but some other cities have also joined in. There's a county called Cao County, which said that this technology is suitable for their development. An office director in the county even called and said that we could give it a try."
Mayor Wang is suffering in his heart. Even a mute person who has swallowed bitter herbs would have to open their mouth and say when they see him, "You're the one who's suffering the most!"
"Go find Lu Feng and call him to come over. Also, have some TV discussion programs follow up and provide some popular science information about this type of technology, foreign investment, and industry." Mayor Wang thought for a moment and instructed, "Don't escalate the conflict; focus on popular science."
This morning, Lu Feng met with Smith's team. They were rather lazy and uninformed. Lu Feng, on the other hand, was more direct today. He wore slippers, carried a teacup, and sat there drinking tea all morning.
At lunchtime, both groups timed their meals, getting up and leaving as soon as it was time to eat.
Smith held an internal meeting in the afternoon and felt that Lu Feng's change was a bit strange. He thought that Lu Feng should be the one who was anxious now, but Lu Feng seemed to have more patience than him.
We called a meeting with the consulting firm to understand the local situation and update some data.
At 3 p.m., a car stopped downstairs at the hotel, and a man in a white shirt came down, asked a question at the front desk, and went upstairs.
The man walked up to Lu Feng's room door, knocked, and said, "Mr. Lu, are you there? I'm from the municipal government."
Lu Feng's door remained closed, but Feng Zhiyao's door opened next door. He came out, glanced at the room, and upon recognizing the man who had scolded them the day before, immediately turned hostile.
"Why are you knocking?" Feng Zhiyao asked, staring at him.
The man's face was amiable, much better than yesterday, and he said, "I'm looking for President Lu; the municipal government wants him to come over."
"Does he have to be there just because you want to see him? He's gone down to inspect, is that not allowed? Did you make an appointment? Did you apply? Did you get it stamped? Do you have proof? Do you have a letter of introduction? Why are you just running around banging on the door like that?" Feng Zhiyao asked in rapid succession.
The man looked embarrassed but not angry. He quickly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Feng Zhiyao's pocket, saying, "Brother, I was wrong yesterday. We're all just doing things for others, right? Why bother? It was just running an errand. I'll treat you to a meal another time. If you need anything in the future, just let the brothers know, and we'll talk it over."
Feng Zhiyao took out a cigarette and looked at it. Before he could speak, Lu Feng opened the door, glanced at the man, and prepared to close the door.
The man was quick-witted and stuck one foot in, blocking the door.
"Mr. Lu, I'm just delivering a message. You don't need to make things difficult for me. The city wants you to go there."
"I'm busy, especially today. Let's do it another day," Lu Feng said, looking at him.
What are you busy with?
"Go to sleep. Put your feet back in, or I'll break them." Lu Feng opened the door, as if he was about to slam it shut.
The other person was so frightened that they quickly pulled their foot back.
Seeing that he had been turned away, Feng Zhiyao snorted coldly, turned around, went back into the house, and closed the door.
After the man returned, he reported the truth. Mayor Wang sat in his office with a sullen face. He was no longer so angry because he could tell that if he continued to argue with Lu Feng, he would easily be driven to his death by anger.
“He’s the boss. If he won’t come, I will!” Mayor Wang stood up, took his coat off the hanger, and said, “Prepare the car. Let’s go to the hotel.”
Just as he was about to leave, the phone on the table rang. Mayor Wang answered, "Who is this?"
"The Provincial Commerce Office has invited many experts to conduct an assessment of the introduction of foreign investment in VCDs. They believe that the price is indeed too low. Please come to a meeting tomorrow to discuss this further."
"Okay! I accept the criticism and will definitely correct it."
After exchanging a few words, Mayor Wang hung up the phone and stood there somewhat stunned.
This deal might really fall through!
