She had just seen Han Yu off when she received a call from Mayor Hou, hurried to the city government, and learned that the two major projects she had been discussing since taking office were poached by the Binjiang Development Zone. She was so anxious and angry, wanting to complain to Secretary Lu, Mayor Wang, and Vice Mayor Qin, and so upset that she cried.
Mayor Hou handed her a tissue, smiled, and said, "Don't be anxious, and don't cry. You're a vice mayor now. You'll be laughed at if people see you like this."
"How can I not be anxious? How hard was it for me to negotiate these two projects? How can he do this? He's causing internal conflict!"
"This is the nature of a market economy, which thrives on competition. If our location and infrastructure conditions are better than the development zone, your alma mater would only choose us and not the development zone."
