After graduating from university and working for more than ten years, Xiang Fei started from the lowest level as an operator, step by step from team leader, section leader, workshop technician and workshop director to the executive deputy manager of the new materials branch, working with all kinds of people in society.

After many interactions, he had not only heard about the dirty tricks in business dealings, but had also seen them with his own eyes. He refused all invitations without legitimate reasons, and he had never accepted any money or gifts.

Through this conversation, the supplier representative looked at Xiang Fei with admiration. Unexpectedly, this young project manager was an upright person. In the buyer's market situation, he was not like some people with power who bossed suppliers around.

Although he was rejected, the supplier representative was very pleased. If Xiang Fei's request was followed and all suppliers competed openly on the same platform, no one would make any small moves, and even if they were eliminated in the end, they would still be convinced that they had lost.

Before the two bidding meetings for the infrastructure construction and item procurement of the senior care project, more than ten construction companies and equipment suppliers came to visit. Their purpose is self-evident, they all want to clear the relationship in advance in order to obtain some kind of care in business.

But Xiang Fei's attitude is very clear, that is, all companies that intend to cooperate with Changda Holdings need to participate in the bidding. Everyone competes on the same stage, and no one can be special.

According to previous practice, when determining construction bidding matters, the three parts of construction, indoor and outdoor decoration, and environmental landscaping are generally bid separately. After Guan Yuntian presided over the first two biddings, he found an excuse to withdraw from the bidding review team.

, let Xiang Fei succeed him and take charge of the remaining bidding work for the elderly care project.

The review team originally had more senior members, but Xiang Fei was the project leader, and the chairman named him to take charge of the work. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he had no choice but to take over the responsibility.

The construction company of Lao Xia, director of the Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau, was not strong enough in terms of comprehensive strength. Although it participated in the bidding, it received nothing in the bidding for the construction and indoor and outdoor decoration projects. This made Director Xia very embarrassed. His

A friend named Yu came to his office. Of course Lao Xia knew the purpose of his visit.

"Brother, Changda Holdings and this person named Xiang really don't give you face!" Boss Yu looked very frustrated.

"What face? I have inquired about the public bidding. Your construction company's overall strength is not good. What does this have to do with my face?" Lao Xia was furious.

Lao Yu's provocation method failed to work. After all, Director Xia is a smart man. He will not fall for it for the sake of his friends. Lao Xia knows very well that the pension project uses a bidding method to determine the infrastructure decoration construction unit, which is an internal matter of the company.

There is no problem with the affairs and bidding procedures. No outsider has the right to point fingers or make irresponsible remarks. Not to mention him, the director of the Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau, even leaders with higher administrative levels cannot interfere with the normal operation and management of the company.

Although Lao Xia and Lao Yu are very good friends, he also knows that Lao Yu's construction company really wants to get the infrastructure project for the elderly care project, but the company is not strong enough and Lao Xia is helpless.

In many contacts with Xiang Fei, Lao Xia had expressed similar wishes to the other party, but Xiang Fei was very principled and had no room for accommodation.

As the director of the office, Lao Xia was entrusted by the bureau leaders to work for the D City Elderly Service Center, which is also the investment attraction of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Xiang Fei was grateful for the preliminary work of the investment project, and also provided some useful suggestions to the project leader, but this could not be the reason for him to interfere in the company's bidding. Lao Xia knew very well that even if he

If you want to do that, Xiang Fei and Changda Holdings won't buy it.

Having been an office director for many years, Lao Xia considers issues carefully and knows the tricks of dealing with all kinds of people. Although his friend Lao Yu’s construction company failed to make any money from the infrastructure bidding for senior care projects, he thinks there is still a chance. After all, the bidding process is still open.

It's not over yet, but we just need to pay attention to how we do things.

Based on Lao Xia's understanding of Xiang Fei, he believed that this young man was already very upright. In addition, it was his first time to be responsible for such an important job. His cautious and principled attitude was completely understandable. If he wanted to succeed Xiang Fei

It's almost impossible to get care here.

Director Xia has been involved as a team member of the Civil Affairs Bureau since the investment negotiations for the elderly care project. Therefore, he and Guan Yuntian have met at least four times. Lao Xia feels that he and Guan Yuntian are old acquaintances. Although Xiang Fei is serious

, he acted according to the rules, but Guan Yuntian seemed to be more sophisticated. Maybe he could get what he wanted there, so Lao Xia wanted to try his luck.

After dialing Guan Yuntian's number, Lao Xia introduced himself. Of course Guan Yuntian was impressed by him, "Director Xia? What can I do for you?"

After all, it was not an aboveboard matter. Lao Xia was hesitant. Guan Yuntian finally heard what he meant, "Oh, you want to help a friend get the project? But I have withdrawn from the bidding review team, and I am not the project leader now.

, and I am not responsible for project bidding, so this matter is not my responsibility!"

"I know that Manager Xiang is responsible for project construction and project bidding. Mr. Guan, could you please say hello to him?" Lao Xia simply made it clear.

Guan Yuntian knew that during the project preparation stage of the Elderly Service Center in City D, Lao Xia not only provided certain conveniences for the project construction on behalf of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but also put forward some useful suggestions for Xiang Fei's work, so it was not easy for him to directly refuse Lao Xia.

Xia's request.

"Director Xia, you have posed a problem for me! On the one hand, we have internal regulations that company leaders cannot interfere with grassroots work without reason, so saying hello is against the principle. In addition, you may not know that the pension fund invested in you

For the project, the bidding for infrastructure projects and indoor and outdoor decoration has been completed in the past two days.”

Lao Xia disagreed with Guan Yuntian's remarks. As the chairman of the company, how could it violate the principles to say hello to the grassroots and ask them to take care of them? Such an excuse is completely evasive and unconvincing at all! Despite this, Lao Xia

After all, Xia had something to ask for, and he couldn't refute Guan Yuntian's statement face to face.

However, the purpose of Lao Xia's call was not for the infrastructure and indoor and outdoor decoration projects of the senior care project that had ended bidding. He knew that the project's environmental landscaping and greening project had not yet been bidd, so he took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Guan, I heard that it will be carried out in two days.

My friend’s company is very experienced in bidding for greening and beautification projects. They are also local companies in D City and have many convenient conditions..."

"Do they want to bid?" Before Lao Xia finished speaking, Guan Yuntian interrupted him because Xiang Fei had mentioned Lao Xia's friend who was engaged in infrastructure construction.

"Bid...," Lao Xia admitted

Because, if we are preparing to bid, there is no need to go through such a big circle, "Mr. Guan, the amount of landscaping and greening of the elderly care project is not very large, right? Is it still necessary to invite bids?"

"This..." Guan Yuntian felt puzzled. Does the specific operation of the project invested by Changda Holding Company need outsiders to worry about? "Director Xia, I don't understand what you mean."

"Mr. Guan, don't worry too much. What I mean is, if the amount of the project is not large, it would not be a waste of energy to bother with bidding."

"Is the project volume large... Let's put it this way, our senior care project in D city has a total investment of nearly 300 million, and the greening and beautification project accounts for about 25% of the total investment, which is 77%.

80 million, for such a large project, according to the company's internal regulations, the construction unit must be determined through bidding. As for other things, as I just said, now that I am no longer a member of the bidding review team, you'd better go find our project

manager because he is the project leader.”

Lao Xia didn't get anything he wanted from Guan Yuntian. The other party had already said it to this extent. Lao Xia felt that it was futile to say anything else. He couldn't help but feel depressed. He said a few polite words and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Sitting on the chair, Lao Xia thought about what Guan Yuntian said just now. He felt that although he was rejected, Guan Yuntian did not seem to completely close the door and asked him to find the project leader. What did this mean? Could it be...

..?

After thinking about it, Lao Xia shook his head with a bitter smile. It's not like he hasn't approached the project leader. It was precisely because Xiang Fei stubbornly adhered to his principles and refused to give face at all that he came up with the idea of ​​interceding with Guan Yuntian. What he said just now

Maybe it was just Guan Yuntian's excuse, and he thought there was no need to take it too seriously. His friend Lao Yu's construction company could bid for greening and beautification projects for senior care projects, but Lao Xia felt that he really couldn't help much.

After finishing the call with Lao Xia, Guan Yuntian felt that Director Xia had gone to great lengths for his friend's affairs. Maybe he had bragged a lot in front of his friends before, and his friends treated him as a figure, but dropped the ball at the critical moment. Now he doesn't.

I know how embarrassing it is.

Through previous contacts, Guan Yuntian believed that although Lao Xia had the common problems of government cadres, he had a modest personality and was a down-to-earth person. Regardless of his motivation, he was very helpful in the preparations for the elderly care project, and he was also helpful to the newcomers.

Xiang Fei provided some useful suggestions. Although he also made unreasonable requests to help his friends, he was able to accept them calmly after being rejected. He was not as angry as some people. For such people, without violating the general principles,

, Guan Yuntian felt that he could give him some face.

Thinking of this, Guan Yuntian dialed Xiang Fei's phone number, "Lao Xia just came to see me."

"Oh, Mr. Guan, why is Lao Xia looking for you?" Xiang Fei was slightly surprised.

"It's not like he wants to get projects for his friends."

"Isn't his friend's construction company already out of the bidding for infrastructure projects and indoor and outdoor decoration? Lao Xia is really difficult to deal with!"

"People know that there will be an environmental beautification and greening project next, and Lao Xia wants us to give some attention to his friend's company."
