"The meeting is over. You can go to have dinner now. Mr. Carter and Miss Newell, please wait for a moment," said the leader of the municipal part committee. After the investment promotion conference held by the municipal part committee was over, Richard and Amy were asked to stay for a while.
The leader asked them to sit opposite to him and made a cup of tea for them.
"The reason why I let you stay is that I have something to discuss with you," said the vice mayor supervising inviting investments politely.
"Yeah, sure." Although Richard sat beside Amy, he didn't take a single look at her.
"I have a program and after my consideration, I thought only your groups have the ability to work on this project," said the vice mayor. He handed the materials to Richard and Amy to read.
Just now, he had shown many programs to other companies in the meeting. But this program was intended for these two companies because only the HD Group and the Newell Group were capable of working on this project.
After reading the materials, Richard and Amy were very interested in this project.
The project aimed at building a large resort, where the local people could start rural tourism, which could advance the economy and bring well-being to people there.
Richard had gone to this place before. It was a beautiful place to develop tourism. Road was available there so they could save a large amount of money, which was better than most scenic spots in the remote villages.
Amy had heard of this place before but she had never been there. Thus, she knew nothing about this place.
"What is the characteristic of this place? It is quite far from the city," asked Amy.
"There is information about this place in the materials. But since you have been abroad before, you may not familiar with the place. We can go there on Friday and you can decide whether you will work on this project," answered the vice mayor.
"This Friday?" Amy and Richard asked together. They were both free this Friday. The arrangement of the vice mayor was appropriate. If they went there on Friday, they could stay there for one night and then investigate the place on Saturday and Sunday.
"Are you very busy on Friday?" asked the vice mayor. Seeing they were so surprised, he thought they might be very busy on Friday.
"I'm free. I just think it is a little hasty because it is Wednesday today," said Amy. She wanted to finish a great project after returning home so as to live up to what Mr. and Mrs. Newell expected of her.
"It is not very far from here. Although located in the suburb, it is still within R City. It may take two hours to drive there. That is just right. If the place is very distant, people won't travel there and there is no need to invest," said the vice mayor.
"OK, I will make some arrangements. Let's contact on Friday," said Amy. She was very interested in this project since she always wanted to spend her weekends in a quiet place. If the project was finished, she could go there on weekends.
Then the three people went to the hall to have dinner.
"Mom, where do you go? Why don't you take me with you?" asked Allan.
