"At the same time, you were introduced by Deputy Secretary Tao Wen. If you have an accident, Deputy Secretary Tao Wen’s face will not look good, so I accepted the contract to make you think that I will help you win the bid, and then stop playing around. It has caused a bad influence on you Zhendong Group and Deputy Secretary Tao Wen. If I say that, don’t you understand?" Sunan looked at Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng said so just and awe-inspiringly, he seemed to be a really unselfish official. Some are uncertain, things may really be like what Xu Zheng said.
Xu Zheng watched Sunan just watched him not speak, smiled and said, "Well, I know you don’t believe what I said. Now in this social atmosphere, many people would rather believe in crooked ways than an official who is decent. Honest. But let me tell you, I don’t care if you believe it or not, Xu Zheng is going to stick to my principles, so this time I can only say sorry.”
Sunan smiled, no matter what, even if he loses, he still has to maintain a certain demeanor, but he is not a fool. Xu Zheng can't fool him with these few words. He looked at Xu Zheng and said, "Xu Shi Long, things may be like what you said, then I have already failed, and I am also very relieved. After all, you let me see what a clean official is like."
Xu Zheng smiled and said, "I told you about this, why are you still suspicious of me?"
Sunan smiled and shook his head, and said: "I don't doubt you, I just have a question. Whether from the strength of Liu Kang's Kangsheng Group or the bidding proposal submitted by them this time, I can't find him better than me. The winning place, can you tell me why Haichuan City chose them?"
Xu Zheng's face changed a bit, but he returned to normal immediately. He knew that Sunan had reached the key point. He insisted that this bidding was fair and just. Then there must be a justifiable reason for choosing Liu Kang. Sunan is the chairman of Zhendong Group. He is certainly not ignorant of airport construction. He really can't just make up a reason to prevaricate the past.
Xu Zheng is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom. He immediately found the excuse: "Su Dong, the Kangsheng Group that chose Liu Kang was the review decision of the review committee. Their director had already made this choice at the conference just now. I’ve explained it, so I don’t need to repeat it with you, right?"
Sunan laughed. He understood that Xu Zheng was playing officialdom with himself at this time. Does this guy really think he is a fool? It's not a thing to let myself lose the election, and want to teach myself a set of high-sounding rhetoric.
Sunan didn't say anything. He packed up the calligraphy album and contract. Without saying goodbye, he stood up and walked out of Xu Zheng's office.
Xu Zheng didn't expect Sunan to leave like this. He panicked. He wanted to call Sunan, but he didn't know what to shout, so he could only watch Sunan leave like this.
Xu Zheng knew that Sunan had seen through his tricks. Originally, he wanted to borrow the returned gift to find a way to deal with the relationship with Sunan, even if he couldn't handle it as harmonious as before, at least he wouldn't turn his face. But at present, it seems that this goal is difficult to achieve. Sunan was not a fool, he saw that he was playing with him.
Xu Zheng immediately thought of calling Tao Wen, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to explain. This call must be made before Sunan can call Tao Wen. Otherwise, Tao Wen heard Sunan's opinions preconceivedly, and didn't know how he would treat himself. It is best not to let Tao Wen feel sick to him. After all, Tao Wen is still the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and his own leader.
Xu Zheng dialed Tao Wen's phone, Tao Wen connected. Tao Wen didn't know about Sunan's bidding, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Deputy Secretary Tao, that's the case. I have something to report to you. The winning unit of our new airport project has emerged. Unfortunately, the review committee ultimately did not choose Mr. Sunan's Zhendong Group."
Tao Wen paused. He was actually very concerned about this matter in his heart. He wanted to help Sunan do this. He didn't expect that he had told Xu Zheng to take care of Sunan. Xu Zheng still let Sunan lose the election. , This kind of result really made him very unhappy. He was very awkward, so he said coldly: "That's it, okay, I know. Do you have anything else?"
Tao Wen didn't even ask the reason, Xu Zheng felt even more guilty, and said with a smile: "Deputy Secretary Tao, I want to explain to you that this decision was made by the review committee, and it is not easy for me to interfere."
Tao Wenxin said: You treat me as a fool. What is the decision of the review committee? If the review committee can finally decide which company won the bid, wouldn't you, the mayor, be deaf? But it's like this, you can't say that. Tao Wen also played an official tone and said: "I know, you are also doing things according to the regulations, okay, I know, you don't need to explain anything. I'm hanging up."
Tao Wen didn't wait for Xu Zheng to say anything, he hung up the phone. Xu Zheng was there for a long time holding the phone. He knew that Tao Wen was offended by him this time. Also, I was unnecessary. Tao Wen has been in the officialdom for a long time. He can see the essence of the problem at a glance. The essence of the problem is that Sunan’s company did not win the bid. No matter how he explains it, he can’t explain Sunan’s failure to win the bid. So Tao Wen doesn’t need to listen to his own explanation at all.
Many times, in the officialdom, it is necessary to plant more flowers and less thorns. This time I was forced to plant thorns. Naturally, Xu Zheng felt very awkward in his heart. In the future, I should be careful of the characters of Tao Wen school.
Tao Wen, who hung up the phone, was also very awkward. The old leader’s son rarely came to ask for help, and he wanted to do it. However, Xu Zheng told him that he was arrogant to himself, but he told him not to do so in private. The company won the bid.
Tao Wen knew that his official career benefited a lot from Sunan’s father Su. The officialdom of that era was still very orthodox. Old Su appreciated that he was a talent, so he took the initiative to promote himself several times. Old Su was not a benevolence. The people who watched the newspaper have never asked for anything in return in recent years. As for myself, it is just that every time I go to Beijing to visit him at Su Lao's house. I am very grateful to Su Lao, this time Sunan came to the door, Tao Wen still felt that he could give it back once, but he didn't expect that it would be nothing in the end, and he would inevitably feel a little guilty in his heart.
Tao Wen dialed the number of Sunan. He wanted to explain the matter to Sunan. He said, "Brother Su, where are you?"
Sunan said: "I am on my way back to Beijing from Haichuan."
Tao Wen was stunned. This time Sunan came to Haichuan to listen to the results in person. It seems that he really attaches great importance to the new airport project this time. He said even more guilty: "My brother, you won’t come to Haichuan. Look at me here, is it mad at me because I didn't win the bid this time?"
At this moment, Sunan has calmed down. He can blame Xu Zheng, but he can't blame Tao Wen. He smiled and said: "No, Deputy Secretary Tao, I know you are really helping me this time. I can only thank you, how can I dare to be angry with you? I am really not in the mood if I don't go to you. Next time, I will definitely visit you the next time I have a chance."
Tao Wen smiled bitterly, and said, "But in fact, your old brother still didn't help you. It's useless to me. My brother asked me to do such a small thing. I didn't do it. I felt ashamed to see Su. old."
Sunan smiled and said, "Don't say that, don't blame you, this time I was tricked by Xu Zheng."
Tao Wen was also wondering why Xu Zheng refused to help. He originally thought that Sunan didn't take care of Xu Zheng, so he asked: "What's the matter, you tell me."
Sunan smiled and said, "I really learned about Xu Zheng. This guy has a good way of talking and doing things."
Speaking of Sunan, he told Tao Wen what happened before and after, including how Xu Zheng first accepted his gift, how he later accepted the contract, and finally how to say a lot of high-sounding words after winning the bid.
In the end, Sunan concluded: "I am really convinced by Xu Zheng now. If I play tricks on me, I still come to educate me. It's really a personal thing."
After listening to Tao Wen, he was furious. He felt that Xu Zheng was not only playing Sunan by doing this, but he was also playing tricks, so he said: "What, Xu Zheng dare to treat you like this? He is not only bullying you. , Slapped my old face too."
Sunan smiled and said, "Forget it, don't be angry with this kind of villain. I have seen a lot of this kind of people in recent years, and I don't care."
Tao Wen said guiltily, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm getting old too, the following guys don't take me seriously anymore."
Su Nan said, "Deputy Secretary Tao, don't do this. It's none of your business. I'm embarrassed to say that. It's me who didn't handle this matter properly, but it's causing you trouble."
Tao Wen said: "Since things have been like this, we are not talking about anything, but let me tell you, brother, things are not over until today, I will remember all of them. Oh, are you really not here?"
Sunan smiled and said, "Just forget it this time, I'm really not in the mood. Next time."
Tao Wen said: "Okay, I understand your current mood, but you won't come over if you come, just don't forget that you still have my old brother in the East China Sea."
Sunan said, "I know."
The frustrated person hurriedly left, and the feast of the proud person was about to unfold, but the mood of the proud person might not be better than that of the frustrated person.
Liu Kang and Wu Wen sat in the office of the Xiling Hotel to discuss the evening banquet to celebrate the winning of the Kangsheng Group. Liu Kang's face was sinking, and there was no joy in the winning bidder's face.
