Chapter 731: Meeting

teps outside."No need to go to the hospital. It's too expensive! We’ll deal with it here!" The girl said after hearing the young man’s words, thinking for a moment."It's fine, I've borrowed some money...Miracle Taoist sodu

When Yunxi and the others returned from the restroom, Liu Zhen and that Director Lin had already left the office and moved to the adjacent office of the Integrated Section chief.

"Yunxi, Director Lin has contacted Director Wang. At 9:30 AM, there will be an opening ceremony in the Health Bureau's conference room where Director Wang will attend; we should go there."

Seeing Yunxi and the others enter, Liu Zhen stood up and said to Yunxi.

Liu Zhen didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, his rank was higher than that of this Director Lin's, but during their conversation, Director Lin had ignored him, which made him very unhappy. However, since he came with a mission, he had to endure it despite his dissatisfaction.

"Haha, Group Leader Yunxi and Miss Li, you're back! Please sit down quickly, I'll get you some tea!" Seeing Yunxi and the others return, this Director Lin who had previously ignored Liu Zhen immediately stood up with a smile on his face.

"Director Lin's kindness we appreciate, but this time, we came to give lectures in Deep Sea City at the invitation of Director Wang. Even though Old City isn't in the same region as Deep Sea City, Director Wang is an old senior figure in the health system; it wouldn't be proper for us not to take him seriously. Let's go to the conference hall."

The smile on Director Lin's face was very warm, but Yunxi felt even more disdain towards him and replied sternly.

Hearing what Yunxi said, a stiff expression appeared on Director Lin's face; his smile gradually vanished as he said, "Then everyone please take your seats. Director Wang will be here shortly!"

Although Director Lin was smiling, in his heart he was furious. The implication of Yunxi's words was clear: We are guests invited by your Deep Sea City Director Wang and aren't here to curry favor with you; moreover, we're not locals so don't try to control us.

Liu Zhen felt secretly pleased upon hearing Yunxi's words but also grew anxious. While Yunxi and the others didn't care about this, Liu Zhen had a task to accomplish and couldn't afford to offend anyone in Deep Sea City; otherwise, how could he, as an acting deputy director, have been so eager to talk with a mere section chief

Director Lin led them into the conference hall with a stern expression. As Liu Zhen and the others saw the conference hall before them, their faces showed surprise.

Initially, Yunxi and the others were puzzled about why Director Wang asked them to come to the conference room instead of using it for training healthcare workers. But once they arrived, they understood why this arrangement was made.

The Yunxi group looked at the conference room in front of them. Actually, it couldn’t be called a conference room anymore; it should be referred to as an auditorium. They never imagined that the luxurious level of the Deep Sea Health Bureau's meeting room would be similar to their provincial auditorium, even though it wasn't as big.

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Zhen and his group couldn’t help but think silently. "Deep Sea must be very wealthy; a health bureau looks like this. How about the municipal government"

The Section Chief Lin looked smug upon seeing their reactions and thought to himself, 'A bunch of country bumpkins.'

Many people had come to Deep Sea for study visits in the past, including officials from inland areas. When they saw this meeting room, everyone was shocked. Every time he saw such expressions, his heart secretly rejoiced.

The Section Chief Lin led Yunxi and his group to an office next to the conference room and said, "You can rest here now; the opening ceremony will begin at 9:30."

Upon hearing what the Section Chief Lin said, they all entered this office. After sitting down, Li Qing took out several stacks of documents from her bag and handed them to Yunxi and Liu Zhen. When Liu Zhen received the materials from Li Qing, he also started looking at them.

This part was under Yunxi's responsibility; usually in Ancient City, he could hardly get involved, so he had no idea about these things. After arriving in Deep Sea, they played around like tourists for two days and didn’t pay attention to any of this. As the highest-ranking person from Ancient City here today, he definitely needed to speak at some point, so he wanted to familiarize himself with everything, even though he didn't need to be overly professional but must know the major points.

The Section Chief Lin was very uncomfortable seeing all three of them flipping through documents and ignoring him. Even Liu Zhen, who had been eager to talk to him, now focused on reading the materials intensely, making him feel displeased.

Moreover, when these people didn’t invite him into the room to sit, his face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. He glanced at them before turning around and walking out.

Around nine o'clock, outside their office, there was a loud noise as people started talking. Shortly after, a staff member walked in and said, "All teachers, the meeting is about to start."

"Alright, we'll go right away," Yunxi stood up upon hearing this and said. After saying that, he looked at Liu Zhen and Li Qing before walking out with them towards the conference room.

The conference room at this moment was clearly well-prepared, with around forty to fifty people sitting inside chatting while waiting for the meeting to begin.

Upon entering, Yunxi and her group found their nameplates on a seat at the podium and walked over. The people below looked up at them as they took their seats and started speculating.

A staff member then approached them, whispered something in their ears, and left.

Looking around the conference room, Yunxi's group silently nodded in approval; it seemed that Deep Sea Bureau had been well-prepared for their arrival.

The staff member who spoke to them was responsible for setting up the venue. These people belonged to another office within the Health Bureau and were not related to Lin Section Chief's Comprehensive Department, so Lin didn't know any details about this arrangement.

Exactly at 9:30 AM, four middle-aged men entered together from outside and sat down on the podium. They nodded at Liu Zhen and his group before nodding again at those present in the audience.

Liu Zhen originally intended to stand up and shake hands with them but seeing that these four did not acknowledge him and instead began addressing the audience, he reluctantly sat back down.

Section Chief Lin, sitting among the crowd, clearly saw Liu Zhen's actions and smirked disdainfully: "Those country bumpkins think they can curry favor with Director Wang They're dreaming!"

In reality, the leaders of the Deep Sea Health Bureau did not make any special effort to meet Yunxi and her group beforehand. In their eyes, these three were small fry who weren't worth special recognition even if invited by them—it was merely a courtesy towards Old City.

Director Wang's speech won enthusiastic applause from everyone.

A vice-director who had just entered alongside Director Wang instructed Liu Zhen to give his speech.

While Liu Zhen was speaking, Yunxi suddenly froze in her seat. She hurriedly searched through her bag but couldn't find what she was looking for; her face fell with disappointment.

It turned out that she had forgotten a document—a hastily written speech稿。作為這個項目的負責人,她必鬚髮言。因此,這兩天她抽時間寫了一份發言稿,隻是現在無論如何也找不到那份發言稿了。

Yunxi realized her speech draft wasn't in the bag, and she couldn't help but panic. She knew it was time for her to give a speech soon. If she didn’t have her notes, even one small mistake would be extremely embarrassing for the Old City's health system. Thus, she was very anxious.

Just as Yunxi was feeling worried, something suddenly caught her eye. She remembered that before getting off the car, she had been reviewing her speech draft. At this thought, she felt a sense of relief. Clearly, Xiao Yu must not have left yet; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to feel so happy and content.

Yunxi took out her phone and made a call. After saying two sentences, she hung up the phone and sat back down to listen to Liu Zhen's speech.

A short while later, after Liu Zhen had finished speaking, an middle-aged man who arrived at the stage with Director Wang was about to start his speech.

“Excuse me everyone, including all of our experts and teachers from Old City. I have another meeting downtown that I must attend immediately. Brother Zhang, you take over here! Please treat our guests from Old City well!” Just as this middle-aged man prepared to speak, Director Wang took the microphone away from him and interrupted his speech.

After Director Wang spoke, he walked out of the meeting room, but before he could even reach the door, it was opened from the outside. When he saw who had pushed open the door, Director Wang suddenly froze.

"Haha, Director Wang!" Xiao Yu was the one who had entered through the door, and upon entering, he greeted Director Wang by name.

“Xiao... Brother Xiao, are you here to see me Come on, let’s go talk in my office. It's too chaotic here!” Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, Director Wang finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said that to Xiao Yu.

When Director Wang saw Xiao Yu, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He knew very well the background behind Xiao Yu’s family. Moreover, he had heard about the scene at the police station from someone else. That incident made him realize that he had underestimated Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu was just an ordinary playboy from Beijing, then such an event would not have happened. Furthermore, after this incident occurred, nothing bad happened to Xiao Yu and his friends, while a high-ranking official in charge of politics and law was dismissed. This showed how much power Xiao Yu possessed.

Moreover, the last time he had dinner with Wu Shouye, they talked about Xiao Yu and said that without him, Director Wang wouldn't have been able to become director. Therefore, seeing Xiao Yu here made his heart jump with excitement. Although there was some friendship between them, their relationship wasn’t deep enough. Thus, when he saw Xiao Yu now, he thought Xiao Yu must want something from him, as it didn’t seem like Xiao Yu had any other reason for coming.

He knew that this could be a great opportunity to build a closer relationship with Xiao Yu, so naturally he wouldn't miss the chance. In just a moment, he was already considering how to handle whatever request Xiao Yu might make. As long as it wasn’t something beyond his capacity, he would do anything for him and execute it flawlessly.

“Director Wang, please wait a minute. I am here to bring some gifts to my fiancée!” After hearing what Director Wang said, Xiao Yu chuckled and explained.

"Fiancée" Hearing this, Director Wang’s mind went blank for a moment; then he murmured to himself before quickly turning around to look at Xiao Yu. When he saw Xiao Yu heading towards the Old City delegates on stage, his face paled with shock.lue and white porcelain vase was still kept there. If he wanted to buy the vase, of course he would have to go there.Xiao Yu's vehicle took the lead while Mr. Cai and the others followed in a minivan....
