Chapter 1485: Jealousy from other counties
Investors had temporarily chartered a bus outside the hotel. After the foreign guests boarded, Dong Xuebing turned to his Land Rover, opened the door, and entered.
"Xuebing."
"Hey, Sister Zhang."
"Aren"t you drinking?"
"Well, I have to drive. How can I come back tomorrow?"
"Ha, then let me drive for you."
"Come on, you"ve been drinking too. I"m fine."
"Then, I will sit in your car. The bus is crowded, and I am not used to it."
Zhang Longjuan entered Dong Xuebing"s Land Rover and sat in the pa.s.senger seat. Dong Xuebing was happy to have Sister Zhang ride with him, smiling and gesturing to the bus driver before taking the lead.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhang Longjuan smiled, "Ha, there"s many things waiting for me. Can I not hurry back?"
Dong Xuebing said, "You"ve come all this way, and these days have been busy with work. I haven"t had a chance to take you around properly."
"Next time."
"When is the next time?"
"Hehe, who knows."
"Well, if you let them go first, you can stay another day."
"Oh, you"re thinking about it. It seems I am quite charming."
"Oh, that"s not what I meant. Hey, I can"t argue with you. I won"t say anything, okay?"
Zhang Longjuan chuckled and fluttered her eyelashes, teasingly. Suddenly, her phone rang with a series of beeps. She said with a delighted expression, "It"s Old Xu," and pressed the speaker b.u.t.ton. In the compartment, Xu Yan"s voice clearly said, "Old Zhang, where are you?"
Zhang Longjuan glanced at Dong Xuebing and said, "I"m in your man"s car."
Dong Xuebing sweated at what she said. Xu Yan helplessly said, "Your mouth is still so sharp. What ‘my man"? Don"t talk nonsense; it"s a joke when people hear it. You should be more decent."
Zhang Longjuan smiled, "You don"t admit it or not. Anyway, in my heart, I know. Ha, our relations.h.i.+p has been for many years. Who can deceive whom?"
Xu Yan said, "Did you and Xiao Bing just finish dinner?"
Zhang Longjuan said, "Yes, we were just about to book a room. Are you coming?"
Xu Yan criticized, "You"re in front of the child. Don"t be so indecent."
"Urgent, can"t you see? Urgent," Zhang Longjuan laughed brilliantly, "You"re still so protective. Rest a.s.sured, I won"t s.n.a.t.c.h your man."
"I think you need a good beating."
"Haha, I"m about to go to the provincial capital. You"re right. I dare not go there when you say that."
"What are you doing in the provincial capital? Is the business there finished?"
"Yes, the contract is signed. I have a flight tomorrow morning. I"ll leave directly from the provincial capital then."
"Then, you and your foreign friends are staying at a hotel? About that, I"ve finished work now. After you send them to the hotel, come to my place. Come with Xiao Bing."
"Let me ask him."
Dong Xuebing said, "No, I don"t know anyone in the provincial capital. What arrangements can I make?"
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said to her phone, "Alright, it"s settled then. See you later. Take advantage of this time, and I"ll coax Xiao Bin a bit more and ask about his skills in bed."
"You haven"t finished, have you?"
"Haha, goodbye."
"Hurry up and hang up; you"re wasting my phone bill."
The two teased each other for a while before finally hanging up. It was evident that their relations.h.i.+p was excellent. Putting away the phone, Zhang Longjuan stared at Dong Xuebing. "Speak up. What about Old Xu"s performance in bed? You didn"t say last time."
Dong Xuebing blushed, "There"s nothing. What are you talking about?"
Zhang Longjuan laughed, "Old Xu has tacitly admitted it. You still don"t admit it."
Dong Xuebing didn"t argue with her, driving his car. After a while, a bright light suddenly flashed in front. Looking closely, two police cars stopped in the middle of the road. They seemed to be checking for drunk driving, holding something in their hands.
Dong Xuebing had just seen that one car had pa.s.sed without being stopped, but when he came over, he was stopped without hesitation. Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes, feeling that someone deliberately arranged this. They had received information from some investors in Zhen Shui County that he had been drinking and driving. Yet, just now, he saw a car not being stopped, and he was stopped without hesitation.
Dong Xuebing shook his head, feeling that this was intentional. Since leaving Zhen Shui County, Dong Xuebing had entered a different jurisdiction. He wondered which unit or person had arranged this. Dong Xuebing"s car came to a stop, and the police officers came over, looking as if they were checking for drunk driving.
Dong Xuebing was satisfied. At least he could disgust these people with their small-mindedness. "What should we do?" Zhang Longjuan glanced at him. "It"s nothing," Dong Xuebing said, pressing the car window and looking at the few people outside. "Blow into this." The instrument was handed over. There was no need to blow; as soon as the window opened, they could smell the strong scent of alcohol on Dong Xuebing.
But Dong Xuebing just smiled, didn"t take it seriously, patted himself, silently reversed for a second, and blew into the instrument.
Beep, beep. The instrument displayed a result.
A number popped out—zero. The people about to take action were stunned on the spot. Zero blood alcohol content? How is that possible? How can there be such a strong smell of alcohol without any trace of it?
"Blow again."
"Why?"
"The instrument may have a problem."
Dong Xuebing didn"t care. He lowered his head and blew again when they handed over another instrument.
Beep, beep. Still zero.
A few people were speechless on the spot.
"Comrades, this is hard work," Dong Xuebing said sarcastically, closed the car window, and drove away. They watched the taillights of the Land Rover in the distance and looked at each other but had no way to respond.
They had indeed received information targeted at Dong Xuebing. This could be seen from the fact that those who had been embarra.s.sed by Dong Xuebing in the past had arranged this. Two hundred million! That was a significant investment. If it weren"t for Dong Xuebing intervening and if he hadn"t drunk everyone under the table, this investment might have gone to other counties.
Now, after inspecting Zhen Shui County, these foreign investors left immediately. They had heard that the foreigners had a flight tomorrow morning, leaving no chance for any other county. How could everyone not care about such a huge benefit? How could they not be infuriated? "Dong Xuebing, you are truly shameless!"
