#362 - Chapter 362 The One Favored by Fate

The next day, early in the morning, the five negotiation teams set off simultaneously.

The distance to Longnan City in Ganlan Province was the shortest, so the negotiation team going there arrived first.

Longnan City had established three resettlement camps:

Hanwang Resettlement Camp, located east of Longnan City, was the largest of the three;

Wufeng Mountain Resettlement Camp, located north of Longnan City;

Bailongjian Resettlement Camp, located west of Longnan City.

Since the resettlement camps established by the Huaguo government had previously deployed ultrasonic transmitters, the Chamber of Commerce had their basic information.

The negotiation team went straight to the Hanwang Resettlement Camp, and the plane landed on the open space outside the camp.

The security guards patrolling the city wall saw a plane landing nearby and hurried to report it.

This place was remote and had no airport, so they had never seen this situation before.

The mayor of Longnan City was in the Hanwang Resettlement Camp, and he rushed over after receiving the news.

At this time, the five members of the negotiation team had disembarked from the plane and arrived at the city gate of the resettlement camp.

"Hello, is this the Hanwang Resettlement Camp in Longnan City?" the leading staff member shouted.

"That's right, who are you?" Mayor Hou Zhongxiang asked.

"Hello, we are from the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. We are here today to talk to you about cooperation," the staff member, a girl, said, using her hand as a megaphone to shout loudly.

She was wearing a gray professional suit, her face was fair, and she was out of place in this desolate land.

"Huatong Chamber of Commerce? Hurry, hurry, hurry, open the gate!" Mayor Hou Zhongxiang, upon hearing that it was someone from the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, hurriedly urged the security guards to open the city gate. He himself also ran out of the city in a panic to greet them in person.

After all, he was the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and he had heard of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

"Hello, uncle, we are from the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, my name is Cheng Jin," the staff member said, extending her fair little hand and smiling.

"Hello! Hello!" Hou Zhongxiang looked very excited. He first wiped his hand on his body before shaking Cheng Jin's outstretched little hand.

"Uncle, I wonder if the mayor of our Longnan City is here?" Cheng Jin asked.

"I am, I am! I am Hou Zhongxiang, the mayor of Longnan City. I wonder what your company is doing in Longnan?" Hou Zhongxiang was a little incoherent.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Mayor Hou, I didn't know it was you, I was a little presumptuous," Cheng Jin quickly bowed and apologized when she heard that the sloppy uncle in front of her was Hou Zhongxiang.

"It's okay, it's okay. How about we go into the city to talk?" Hou Zhongxiang suggested.

"Okay!" Cheng Jin nodded.

"Hey! You, Ergouzi. Hurry up, take someone and drive two off-road vehicles over here! Didn't you see we have guests? You have no sense of propriety!" Hou Zhongxiang turned his head and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey! Okay, I'll go right away!" A young man watching the excitement in the crowd not far away responded and turned to run towards the city.

"Mayor Hou, no need to trouble yourself, we can just walk," Cheng Jin dissuaded him.

"No trouble, no trouble. We'll wait a moment, it'll be quick," Hou Zhongxiang said, brooking no refusal.

Seeing this, Cheng Jin didn't say anything more and had to wait quietly.

Hou Zhongxiang looked behind her, the other four people were all wearing suits, their right hands placed inside their jackets, unsmiling, standing there motionless.

According to his knowledge, these four people should be bodyguards.

"Manager Cheng, you're laughing at us. This is a small place, and very few people have come since the virus outbreak, so everyone is very curious," Hou Zhongxiang said with a polite greeting.

"Mayor Hou, you're too kind, I also come from a small place," Cheng Jin said with a smile.

"Oh? Really? Where is Manager Cheng from?" Hou Zhongxiang asked curiously.

"Not far from here, Qinzhou City," Cheng Jin replied generously without hiding anything.

"Qinzhou? That's very close! The mayor of Qinzhou City and I are old friends, should I give him a call and ask him to come over?" Hou Zhongxiang was very surprised.

"No need, Mayor Hou. When I was in Qinzhou, I was just a little girl from a remote mountain village and didn't know the mayor," Cheng Jin quickly waved her hand, a little shy.

"Oh? Really? Then how did you get to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce?" Hou Zhongxiang saw that Cheng Jin was being frank, so he didn't force her and continued to chat.

"I used to go to university in Jingmen City. After the virus outbreak, I was trapped in the Baisha Resettlement Camp in Jingmen City. Later, I was fortunate enough to be selected and recommended by Mayor Xu to participate in the Huatong Chamber of Commerce's trainee training. After the training, I worked in the Chamber of Commerce," Cheng Jin replied.

"So that's how it is," Hou Zhongxiang nodded.

Perhaps this is someone favored by fate.

"Since you are from Qinzhou, why didn't you go to Qinzhou, but came to our Longnan? I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious," Hou Zhongxiang asked.

"Mayor Hou, you think too highly of me. We are just grassroots staff, where do we have the right to choose? Wherever the Chamber of Commerce sends us, we go," Cheng Jin didn't mind.

"Beep beep ~"

Soon, the car drove over.

Ergouzi turned the steering wheel sharply and parked the car sideways in front of them. Then he got out of the car and took the initiative to open the door.

Hou Zhongxiang glared at him, but didn't criticize him. This kind of recklessness wasn't something that had happened in just a day or two.
