Chapter 208 Mayor's Secretary
"Mr. Ren, this is so lively!" When Zhou Tong arrived in the city, he came to pick up the people and couldn't help but smile.
Ren Bufan rolled his eyes and automatically filtered: "Add an extra table in the hotel."
"no problem!"
Send someone to the sports center to bring Luo Jing over, and everyone finished lunch together.
When they were about to rush over to prepare, Su Tian came over and whispered: "Bufan, it's still early now. We want to go shopping in the commercial street."
"I'll ask the driver to send you."
"No," Su Tian said quickly, "The bus here is very convenient, and Luo Jing has a transportation card."
With so many people together, there is no need to worry about safety issues. I just think that the girls are shopping together and I probably won’t see Su Tian until the party starts. I feel quite depressed.
Of course, thinking that he is too selfish, he can't let Su Tian wait for a long time in bored at the venue.
"I have some change, why don't you take it first?" Ren Bufan fumbled into his pocket and took out dozens of dollars.
"No need," Su Tian quickly refused, "We just stroll around and don't buy anything."
"Prefer to bring it with you? Maybe you can use it? Why don't you bring a little more?"
"It's really no need, just put away the money!" Su Tian said softly.
"That's it? Then... then you bring my phone with you!" Ren Bufan thought for a while, took out his phone and handed it to Su Tian, "If there is something wrong, you can call Zhou Tong at any time and find me through her. Or it's more convenient when I want to find you!"
Su Tian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! I'll hold the phone, I don't want the money. We'll just stroll around the commercial street, you don't have to worry."
"Um!"
The commercial street is actually not far from the sports center, and they don’t even have to take a bus. Nine girls waved goodbye to Ren Bufan and walked along the street with a smile.
Seeing them leave, Ren Bufan followed Zhou Tong into the venue. He was preparing in full swing, quite busy.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, just as the performers were in place.
The program list was already arranged, and the opening was kicked off by the Wuzhou Choir. Then there were students from the Dance Department of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, who danced the dance choreographed in advance, followed by solo, duet and chorus performances from the Vocal Department of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, and then skits and crosstalks from the Conservatory of Music students.
In fact, most of today's programs are performed by students of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music. First of all, the cost is relatively low, and secondly, it is mainly because of the lack of fame. Wuzhou Conservatory of Music is a well-known university in China and is full of talents. They need a stage to show themselves, and the company needs performers, which hit it off.
Of course, in addition to students from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, the company also tried every means to invite some well-known local performing artists.
The Wuzhou Choir is well-known and is also the easiest to invite.
In addition, Yang Jie, a well-known local magician, accepted the invitation.
Yang Jie is an old artist, in his 60s this year, and his work is still first-class.
Everyone calls him a magician, but he himself prefers to be called "the magician".
While they were still setting up the stage, students from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music had already come to rehearse and they took the performance very seriously.
The Wuzhou Choir arrived around 14:00 pm and joined the rehearsal.
At around 15 pm, Zhou Tong came over and whispered to Ren Bufan: "Mr. Ren, someone from the city government is here!"
“Where?”
"Come with me!" Zhou Tong took him to the stage where he was rehearsing.
There was a young man in casual clothes on the side of the stage, talking and laughing.
Ren Bufan turned around and asked Zhou Tong with his eyes, sure he was from the city government?
Zhou Tong nodded for sure, then took the initiative to go forward and smile and say hello: "Hello, I am Zhou Tong, general manager of Renren Network Technology Co., Ltd.!"
"Hello hello! Manager Zhou, this is Secretary Ding of the mayor's office." Someone from the opposite side said, pointing at the young man with a national face next to him.
"Hello!" Zhou Tong quickly shook hands with him, and then pointed at Ren Bufan, "Secretary Ding, lucky to know! This is our General Ren."
"I know, Mr. Little Ren!" Ding Mi laughed, "It's quite famous."
"Hello!" Ren Bufan went over to shake hands with him.
"Old Little Ren!"
Both parties introduced themselves, and Ren Bufan shook hands with several other city staff members who followed Secretary Ding.
"Secretary Ding, I heard that the city government leaders came to watch the party today, but I didn't expect it was you!" Ren Bufan said.
"No, no!" Secretary Ding waved his hand quickly, "I just came here to find out in advance. The mayor will join his wife to attend the party in the evening."
"The mayor comes here in person?" Ren Bufan was startled, "Is it true or false?"
"Aren't I going to make an outpost for the mayor? Haha~" Secretary Ding smiled, "But the mayor said that this time he was just here with his wife and did not want to be disturbed, so let me communicate with you to see if I can arrange a quieter position."
"No problem!" Zhou Tong replied immediately, "We have already arranged it. Secretary Ding, I wonder if the mayor has time to have a meal with us, President Ren, before the party?"
"I'm sorry for this!" Secretary Ding said, "The mayor refuses any additional itinerary today, including meeting with President Ren, and just wants to accompany his wife quietly. Let's make an appointment next time you have time!"
"How is that?" Looking back, he saw Ren Bufan's expression a little regretful, Zhou Tong continued to ask, "Secretary Ding or everyone present has time to give him a look?"
"We really want to do it! After all, Mr. Little Ren is very famous online now." Secretary Ding smiled, "It is also an honor to be able to eat with Mr. Little Ren! But today is really inconvenient, next time, next time!"
"Okay! Then we will make an appointment next time." Zhou Tong said with a smile, "Secretary Ding cannot break his promise!"
Secretary Ding was slightly stunned. He was actually just polite. He didn't expect Zhou Tong to say this. As for this, he could not change his words. So he nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, then I'll make an appointment next time! Don't worry about anything else today, just prepare the party and don't make any mistakes! The night is the mayor's private itinerary, and it has nothing to do with official business, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it! So it's best not to bother him and his wife."
"Is it convenient to ask?" Ren Bufan looked at Secretary Ding, "Why did the mayor suddenly decide to bring his wife here to watch the performance?"
"This is the mayor's private itinerary, and I'm not convenient to disclose it." Secretary Ding shook his head.
"Yes, you shouldn't ask too much about your private itinerary." Zhou Tong smiled, "By the way, Secretary Ding, I heard that the mayor has implemented many policies that benefit the people in the past few years of his tenure. It is very admirable! Especially the city road leveling policy a month ago, it really touched the citizens. I personally admire the mayor very much. He is an excellent commander who dares to think and do, only does practical things and does not talk nonsense. The huge Wuzhou City is thriving under his governance. It is really amazing! It seems that nothing will hurt the mayor!"
Listening to her inner praise, Secretary Ding felt honored, and a smile appeared on his face: "The mayor is indeed focused on municipal affairs, so there are very few private itineraries like today. Otherwise, why should I give instructions and no one is allowed to disturb me? However, municipal affairs work is really tiring. It is hard to imagine that the mayor was so excited when he first took office. He was in his fifties in just a few years! Sometimes I feel sorry for the mayor, and I have to worry about this and that every day, and I have no time to care about my own body."
Ren Bufan wanted to speak, but saw Zhou Tong wave his hand slightly, as if he was telling her not to speak for now. She continued: "I didn't expect that a person who is so capable of being so worried about the municipal government?"
"Isn't that?" Speaking of this, Secretary Ding sighed, "In recent years, the mayor has increased its efforts in urban exhibition construction, launched road leveling plans, and various new policies to benefit the people. The city government's money is rushing out. Now the tax revenue has not been returned, and the above funds have not been reached. Several major roads have been forced to stagnate temporarily, which has a great impact on citizens. How can you not worry?"
"So that's it!" Zhou Tong thought for a moment, "Since it is a policy of benefiting the people, why not consider private donations?"
"This is municipal work. The city government asked the public for donations, and the society was not good!" Secretary Ding said, "The mayor does not want to increase the burden on citizens."
"Oh~ If the city businessman could take the initiative to raise funds, it would probably be much better, right?" Zhou Tong said.
"How is it that easy? Even if you call it in the name of the city government, the response level may not be enough." Secretary Ding replied, "What's more, the mayor doesn't want to do this. It's difficult to ask the merchants to take the initiative to raise funds!"
"That's not necessarily!" Zhou Tong smiled when he heard the words, "Secretary Ding, do you know the leader effect?"
"certainly!"
"As long as a leader appears, the flock will follow him." Zhou Tong said, "In fact, there are many rich businessmen in Wuzhou City, but there are no leaders. Whenever a leader appears, it is actually very simple to want everyone to donate money to build a way for the city government! Our General Ren has always supported the municipal government and doesn't mind being the leader once!"
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Ren is now the focus of many media, and his popularity is extraordinary." Zhou Tong said, "There are countless media attending the party tonight. We decided to take the initiative to donate 10 million yuan to pave the city road at the end of the party! With Mr. Ren's current popularity, once it spreads, it will definitely cause people from the society to follow suit. By then, the municipal funding problem will be alleviated and the road-ping policy will be successfully completed!"
Secretary Ding showed a surprise expression: "With Mr. Ren's current fame, he can indeed successfully achieve the leading effect. If he can really attract business people to raise funds to contribute to the municipal government, that would be a great achievement! It's just that ten million is not a small amount. Some people will never make money in their lives. Mr. Ren is willing to take it out?"
"Our President Ren is a good at making money," Zhou Tong replied with a smile, "The money problem is not a problem for him!"
"If this matter really works, it will undoubtedly be the biggest birthday gift to the mayor's wife!" Secretary Ding sighed.
Chapter completed!
