Chapter 6

Wang Kechang was not at all afraid. He was from the Education Bureau, while Xu Ju was from the Public Security Bureau, so Xu Ju had no jurisdiction over him. Even if Xu Ju disliked him, what could he do? Could he really make things difficult for him? Even if he was not afraid, Xu Ju wouldn't dare to. After all, he had bumped into Xu Ju before, and if it got out that Xu Ju made things difficult for someone just because of a bump, it would make him look petty.

So, Wang Kechang took advantage of this and became even more fearless.

"Hmph!"

Xu Ju, with his hands behind his back, coldly snorted and turned to walk downstairs.

Wang Kechang quickly followed, realizing that Xu Ju and the others were also coincidentally meeting their superiors.

When Xu Ju saw Wang Kechang following, he felt extremely impatient: "We are going to a meeting, what are you following for? Are you going to obstruct official business?"

Wang Kechang's breath caught, and he hurriedly said, "Director Xu, you misunderstood. I was just going downstairs to go home, hehe."

Xu Ju and the few people behind him felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly. They put on cold faces, angrily snorted, and walked into the elevator.

Wang Kechang also quickly entered another elevator, his face full of tension.

Wang Liping cleared his throat, adjusted his facial expression, and watched as the Maybach slowly drove to the hotel entrance, passing through two rows of waiters. He was extremely nervous, but his face showed no signs of it.

The car stopped, and Wang Liping quickly ran to the back door, carefully opened it, and escorted the leader out of the car.

However, when he saw who was sitting in the back seat, the calmness he had been trying to maintain instantly vanished, replaced by a look of shock.

So young, too young. He had never seen such a young leader before. There was also a suitcase in the back seat, indicating that the leader had just arrived from the airport. My goodness, who could this person be?

But Wang Liping was a well-trained person. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure, bowed, and smiled, "Welcome, Comrade Zhang Jue, to the Jiangbei International Trade Hotel. It is an honor to have you personally guide our work."

As he spoke, he diligently took out Zhang Jue's suitcase and warmly guided him into the hotel.

Secretary Li also quickly got out of the car, accompanying Zhang Jue and introducing the International Trade Hotel. Naturally, a valet came to drive the Maybach away.

When Zhang Jue's foot touched the ground, even though he was used to grand occasions, he was still taken aback.

On both sides of the road, a row of male and female waiters and staff stood, all smiling and looking at him.

At the hotel entrance, two hydrogen balloons on either side rose into the sky, pulling up two red banners:

"Enthusiastically welcome Comrade Zhang Jue to the International Trade Hotel."

"All the staff of our hotel warmly welcome you on behalf of Jiangbei."

These welcoming words were prepared in advance, generic phrases. Since Wang Liping did not know Zhang Jue's exact identity, the term "Comrade Zhang Jue" was the safest choice, whether Zhang Jue was an official, a businessman, or a military person.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Jue's eyes. Such a grand welcome was indeed very grand, and he had never seen such a grand welcoming ceremony before.

However, this did not scare him. The shock was brief, and he quickly regained his calm demeanor, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, accompanied by Secretary Li and Wang Liping. He had a natural air of leadership.

When Secretary Li saw the grand welcoming ceremony, he inwardly thought it was going to be a disaster. Wang Liping had misunderstood his meaning. The VIP he referred to was someone important to Minister Zhang, not a leader.

The reception organized by Wang Liping was even more grand than that for a high-ranking official from the provincial government.

This made Secretary Li feel uneasy. If this news got out, he and Wang Liping would surely be severely criticized by Zhang Panshi. Moreover, what Secretary Li was most worried about was that Zhang Jue might be embarrassed.

After all, even if Zhang Jue had great abilities, he was still essentially a young person with little experience. Without mental preparation, he might be overwhelmed by such a grand occasion and make a fool of himself. If Zhang Jue made a fool of himself, and it got to Minister Zhang's ears, he would be in trouble.

Throughout the journey, Secretary Li was extremely nervous. However, when he saw that Zhang Jue was only briefly shocked and then became very calm, he relaxed. He couldn't help but admire Zhang Jue's composure.

"Comrade Zhang Jue, I am Wang Liping, the manager of the International Trade Hotel. It is a great honor to personally welcome you. Upon learning that you would be staying with us, I was very excited. If you have some free time, I hope you will take the time to personally guide our work, helping the International Trade Hotel move towards internationalization and modernization, flying higher, farther, and stronger."

Wang Liping, standing on Zhang Jue's left, spoke eloquently. Although it was a formality, it contained hidden meanings. Using the pretext of guiding work, he was actually flattering Zhang Jue and hoping to use this opportunity to get closer to him.

Zhang Jue smiled faintly and nodded, "Thank you for your efforts."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Liping's eyes. Zhang Jue did not mention guiding work, only saying "Thank you for your efforts," which was clearly a polite response.

Wang Liping thought it was because he was a minor figure and not worthy of Zhang Jue's attention. However, Zhang Jue was well aware of his own status. Especially when he saw the worry in Secretary Li's eyes, he guessed that Wang Liping had mistaken him for a high-ranking official, which was why he had arranged such a grand reception.

At this moment, he couldn't reveal the truth. Since the reception had already started, he had to go through with it, or no one would be able to save face. However, since he had been mistaken for a high-ranking official, he needed to handle the situation with flexibility.

If someone asked him to guide work, thinking he was a leader, and he agreed, they would be furious when they found out his true identity.

It was important to have self-awareness, and Zhang Jue did this well.

"Enthusiastically welcome Comrade Zhang Jue to the International Trade Hotel."

In the hall, a group of selected handsome men and beautiful women, forming a square, smiled and said in unison.

Zhang Jue smiled and nodded. Even though he didn't like formalities, he had to say, "Thank you, everyone. Go back to work; don't let one person delay a group. With Comrade Wang Liping's company and introduction, I will feel very familiar even though I am a newcomer, ha ha."

Wang Liping, hearing this, was so excited that his face turned red. He quickly said to the waiters, "Everyone, go back to work. Comrade Zhang Jue doesn't like formalities."

The waiters smiled and left, but inwardly cursed, "What a shameless person. It was you who insisted on these formalities, making everyone busy, tired, and nervous."

'Ding'

The elevator arrived. Wang Liping quickly gestured for Zhang Jue to enter.

However, as soon as the elevator doors opened, four or five middle-aged men walked out, who had been waiting in the elevator for Xu Ju and his group. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
