Chapter 416: An Unprecedented Welcoming Procession

When Li Huaide received the call, he was utterly shocked!

Asking him to drop everything and go specifically to greet Xu Damao? It was mentioned above that the reason he was asked to go was because of his good relationship with Xu Damao. Asking him to go was to curry favor with Xu Damao.

It's flattery, it's really flattery!

What does this tell us?

This shows that Xu Damao is awesome now. Just thinking about how Li Huaide used to make things difficult for Xu Damao and even ripped him off...

Furthermore, they treated him like a clown at the dinner table. Cold sweat broke out on Li Huaide's forehead.

Wait a minute, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The reason the boss asked me to go is definitely because we have a good relationship.

Li Huaide kept trying to reassure himself, he was terrified.

He didn't know how high Xu Damao had reached, or whether he would hold a grudge against him.

Li Huaide understood human nature all too well.

Two people who seem to have a good relationship actually harbor resentment towards each other, secretly competing and wanting the other dead.

So, once a friend of yours becomes successful, the first thing you shouldn't do is flatter them, but rather think about yourself and whether there's anything you might have done that they might hold a grudge against. Then, quickly try to make amends.

Li Huaide is that kind of person. Otherwise, how could he have done so well?

Let's see how far Xu Damao has climbed up the ladder before we talk!

Li Huaide thought for a moment, then immediately called his driver and set off ahead of schedule.

Yes, he was going to find the leader and go with him.

Yes, he heard that their Minister of Industry was also going, so he went ahead to find him and hitch a ride to ask around.

He met the minister, and even managed to bump into his car. He set off in the minister's car.

The minister was very enthusiastic towards him, instructing him to cultivate a good relationship with Xu Damao and create a lively atmosphere when he met him, etc. Basically, he was trying to curry favor with him.

Li Huaide nodded repeatedly, then cautiously asked, "Sir, could you give me a heads-up? Who exactly is this Xu Damao? Is it really necessary for a high-ranking official like you to go and greet him?"

It's only been a short time, more than half a year. No matter how much you slack off, you can't possibly become that awesome, right?

The minister remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know who he is either. The reason I was able to go there was because he provided us with a lot of things and help."

They asked me to go there to thank them. People really are fickle; fortunes change every thirty years. Never underestimate a young person's potential!

Unfortunately, Xu Damao is now handling all business related to domestic affairs, including providing and transporting supplies.

Because of this one line, the domestic situation is now excellent. People no longer have to go hungry.

The grain, various industrial materials, and even finished vehicles, both new and used, that Xiao Rizi obtained were continuously transported over by boat.

Most importantly, they were all donated, given away for free, without any money involved.

Given this, how could the higher-ups not take it seriously?

Finally, the minister's car arrived at the airport.

Then, not only Li Huaide, but even the minister was shocked.

The Minister of Industry here wouldn't even have a chance to squeeze to the front.

Waiting here were more than a dozen leaders from the Haizi area. Moreover, they were all elders.

My goodness.

Seeing this, Li Huaide was completely stunned.

Li Huaide couldn't believe how high Xu Damao had risen to.

If Xu Damao held a grudge against him, he could really bring him down with just a few words!

Leaders, why did you call me here if there's nothing wrong?

Li Huaide was really uneasy!

He really didn't want to show up, so that Xu Damao might forget about him.

Right now, all he wants is to be forgotten by Xu Damao.

In front, Xu Damao's parents and his sister were treated like VIPs, being flattered by a group of leaders.

Everyone spoke to them with great kindness and friendliness, as if they were long-lost relatives.

He Yushui and her husband also came. Although everyone was quite welcoming to them, they didn't receive the same treatment as Xu Damao's parents.

There's no way around it; Xu Damao is definitely a heavyweight these days. If you displease him, a single word from him to Lao Mo could really shut down this entire project.

Besides them, there was a large group of young women and married women, all of them beautiful. They were all dressed in matching bright colors and holding flowers in their hands.

This airport reception was unprecedented in scale; besides several hundred security personnel, nearly a hundred other people also showed up.

This display of power and pomp could really scare Li Huaide to death!

so horrible.

Even welcoming the king of a certain country wouldn't involve such a grand display!

Finally, amidst great anticipation, a Boeing 737 pierced the sky, spread its wings, and slowly descended towards the airport.

Yes, this is a plane from Hong Kong. If it weren't for Old Mo's insistence, this plane would never have landed here before it was scrapped.

After much anticipation, the plane disembarked and taxied onto the runway, eventually coming to a slow stop.

Get off the machine and take the stairs to the car.

Various welcome vehicles, get on.

Young women and married women lined up and rushed forward, flanking them on the left and right to welcome them.

The leaders waited at the end of the line.

Finally, the plane door opened.

Old Mo walked ahead, appearing first in everyone's sight, holding Chen Yao's hand.

"I'm back, finally back! The air in my hometown is so much fresher and sweeter than abroad!"

Old Mo took a deep breath.

Princess Anne and Xu Damao appeared behind him.

Unfortunately, Hu Huizhong and the others couldn't appear as Lao Mo's wives, so they couldn't stand in that position. They could only follow at the very back.

Lao Mo lifted his leg and led Chen Yao down the stairs from the plane.

Princess Anne Xu Damao, along with a group of women, followed her down.

The eldest daughter-in-law lined the street to welcome her, and the young girls waved the flowers in their hands and began to shout loudly.

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome..."

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome..."

When Lao Mo arrives, they will present him and the others with flowers.

The girls were very enthusiastic, and by the time everyone reached the back of the line, their hands were full of flowers.

Princess Anne was the most popular, receiving the most flowers. Chen Yao was next.

There's no way around it, foreigners are just popular. Even if it was out of curiosity, they still gave most of the flowers to Princess Anne.

Princess Anne said thank you gracefully, speaking fluent and standard Mandarin.

There was no other way; in order to return to China, Lao Mo spent billions to make up for the language deficiencies of all his women.

Now, every one of his women is an all-around translator.

Finally, Lao Mo found the leaders and shook hands with them one by one.

"Welcome back, welcome back!"

The leaders shook hands with them one by one, and were deeply moved.

Finally, Old Xu's hand and Old Mo's hand were clasped together.

"I'm finally back!"
