As more and more people gathered, the scene was divided into three factions around their booth.
One group does not support the redivision of booths, another group demands a new draw and random division, and then there is the neutral group, who do not care no matter what happens and just want to watch the fun.
Song Fuyu stood by and watched quietly, not prepared to speak for the time being.
"Make way, Vice Minister Wang and Director Deng are here!"
The young comrade who was sent to call people half an hour ago came over with the Deputy Minister of Commerce and the person in charge of the venue.
Following them in were two public security comrades led by Xiao Ming.
"What's going on?!"
"The trade fair will start tomorrow. You guys didn't mention your dissatisfaction with the booths long ago. Now you're asking for a new division. That's simply nonsense!"
"You are now asking for a new draw. What will happen to the factories that have already been arranged? How can we waste the whole day for you?"
I got off the train at two o'clock in the morning last night and checked into the guesthouse.
I had slept for less than three hours when I was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
Wang Luqing, who was already feeling a little dizzy, felt his head hurt even more when he heard what the person knocking on the door said to him.
"Who is the leader?"
One of the public security comrades called by Xiao Ming also understood the situation and asked in a serious tone.
They had originally received the task of maintaining order. After all, starting tomorrow this venue would receive many foreign clients, and they had to ensure that everything was foolproof and that no mistakes were made.
But I didn't expect to be called over before it even started.
The group of people who had just been clamoring to re-divide the booths looked at the uniforms the two men were wearing and no one responded.
"Who is the leader?"
Seeing that no one came forward, the public security comrade asked again.
"Since no one has admitted it, why don't you all just follow us to the institute!"
"Yes...it was the people from Qushi Garment Factory who took the lead!"
"Yes! They are the ones leading the charge!"
"They thought the Qinshi Garment Factory was too eye-catching and couldn't stand the fact that they were occupying such a good location, so they encouraged us to come here to protest."
Having found the target, everyone instantly directed their attacks at the people at Qushi Garment Factory.
"You're bullshitting!"
"You were obviously involved as well. When we were having dinner last night, you said you were going to cause trouble early this morning. It would be best if you destroyed the Qin City Garment Factory's booth layout so that they wouldn't have time to rebuild it!"
"Nonsense! Don't try to accuse us. We have never said such things!"
"Comrade Public Security, it was the people from the Qushi Garment Factory who took the lead!"
Several staff members of the Qushi Garment Factory did not expect that everyone would turn against them so quickly. They started cursing at everyone, and the scene became even more chaotic than when Song Fuyu and her team first entered the venue.
Faced with so many condemning voices around, a person who was either an employee or a leader at the Qushi Garment Factory started to throw caution to the wind. He picked up a wooden stick and was about to smash it at the booth.
"ah!"
Before the people around him could react, a spherical object hit the man's wrist and the wooden stick fell to the ground.
"who!"
"Who hit me!"
He covered his painful wrist and yelled at the onlookers in frustration.
"It's me!"
As the sound rang out, everyone looked in the direction of Song Fuyu, only to see that she was still holding the slingshot in her hand which had not been put into her bag.
"Why do you hit me?"
"You deserve to be beaten!"
"you!"
"Don't thank me, I just suddenly feel overwhelmed with love."
"Your original crime was just gathering a crowd to cause trouble and destroying the unity of the people. But if you really hit it with this stick, it will become damaging state property, which is much more serious than the original charge."
"So I saved your life, understand?"
"I want you to mind your own business!"
Song Fuyu rolled his eyes at him. He had already been subdued by the police, but he was still being stubborn and refusing to repent.
"We, Hengshi Steel Plant, do not agree to change the booth!"
"We, Qishi Steel Plant, do not agree to change the booth!"
"We, Anshi Iron and Steel Plant, do not agree to change the booth!"
......
Things here have not been dealt with yet, and several steel plant directors, represented by Chen Guoxing, came in from the gate and loudly expressed their opinions.
Not long after this group of people started making trouble, Chen Guoxing received a notice from his employees.
The employees of Hengshi Iron and Steel Plant who came with them all knew that Song Fuyu was the daughter of the plant director, who doted on her. If there was a problem with her booth, the plant director had to be notified immediately.
After receiving the news, Chen Guoxing did not rush to the venue, but found several other steel plant directors and told them that some plants wanted to draw lots to change their booths.
The sales of these steel mills each time account for at least half of the sales at the trade fair.
They all came a few days in advance to set up their booths, so it would be very disadvantageous for them if they had to change them at the last minute.
Joining forces with several other factory managers is not only to support their daughter, but also to defend the interests of their own factory.
When Wang Luqing saw several steel plant directors coming over, he not only had a headache, but he also felt like fainting.
"Factory managers, please give me, Wang, some face and calm down for a moment."
"We have only one demand, that is, no replacement is allowed!"
"Don't worry, the booths at the trade fair have been set up this way over the years, and it is impossible for them to be changed this year because of the ideas of individual factories."
With Wang Luqing's repeated assurances, several big shots were finally sent away by him.
"Comrade Public Security, please help me deal with the situation here."
Originally, I wanted to protect the Baoqu City Garment Factory and let them participate in this trade fair, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. They can't make much money anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they are there or not.
"Don't just stand here and watch the fun. Go back and continue to improve your own factory! If something like this happens again, and you maliciously disrupt the order on site and try to damage the interests of other factories, once discovered, you will be disqualified from participating in future trade fairs."
As soon as Wang Luqing finished speaking, the onlookers nearby disappeared instantly, and hurried back to their own places, fearing that the police comrades were watching them.
"Get up, everyone, come with us."
"Comrade Public Security, it was Su Ziyong who wanted to smash something with a stick, and we didn't have any, so there's no need for us to go with him, right?"
“Heh~”
"Were you involved just now?!"
"Whether you smashed anything or not, follow us! You are innocent. We will investigate thoroughly once we get to the police station."
After everyone was taken away, Song Fuyu and a few others were the only ones left at the scene.
“Huh~”
"Oh my god, what kind of people are these? They are so scary!"
Liu Aihua still felt a little scared when she thought of the stick that the man had just swung. If it had smashed their things or injured their people, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Director Xiao Song, you are amazing."
"Your slingshot is so accurate! Now I have one more reason to worship you! You must teach me when you have time."
After the Hai Shi event, Xiao Ming regarded Song Fuyu as his idol, and now his admiration for him is even stronger!
"Okay, come to work!"
