Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After the Lantern Festival.

The bidding for the construction project of Taihe Hotel has finally ended. Taihe Second Construction Company successfully won the bid with a slight advantage and became the contractor of this project.

Director Gong came to Bian Jie's office again to report on his work.

"Secretary Bian, the construction bidding for the Taihe Hotel project has now been completed. This is the construction plan provided by the Second Construction Company. Please take a look." Director Gong handed a folder to Bian Jie with both hands.

Bian Jie flipped through the documents casually and asked, "Is the project funding in place?"

Director Gong quickly replied, "It's already in place."

The funds for the construction of Taihe Hotel were obtained by Bian Jie from the Taihe Mining Bureau. The other party not only agreed to pay, but also received the money very quickly.

"This construction fund must be used for its intended purpose. There must be detailed accounts for every penny spent. You are the person in charge of the project. If there is any problem, I will find you." Bian Jie closed the document in his hand and then threw it in front of Director Gong.

"Yes! Please rest assured, leader. I will do my job well and ensure that every penny is used to its full potential." Director Gong stood at attention and replied quickly.

Then he put away the document and stood aside.

Director Gong finished his work report but didn't leave yet.

Bian Jie looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

"Leader, do you think we can start the investment promotion work for the guesthouse?" Director Gong asked tentatively.

The guesthouse building has been in disrepair for many years. The Municipal Party Committee has no money to renovate it, and it would be a pity to leave it idle. Contracting it out is the best option.

Bian Jie pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Okay."

After hearing these two words, Director Gong's face relaxed. He finally got the answer he wanted.

-----------------

Soon, the news that Taihe City Guesthouse was recruiting contractors was published in Taihe Daily, which also marked the official launch of the investment promotion work.

Taihe City Guesthouse has a construction area of ​​more than 120 square meters, with guest rooms. There are restaurants and banquet halls on the second floor, and some shops on the first floor.

Located in a prosperous area in the center of Taihe City, it was once one of the landmark buildings in Taihe City.

Now it has fallen into disrepair and looks dilapidated, but even so, it is difficult to conceal the commercial value of this building.

For a time, there were quite a few people asking and inquiring.

Seeing this investment newspaper, Zhong Yuanbing was a little angry.

Because Director Gong had promised him that he would inform him as soon as he got the news, but now he had to get the information through other channels.

This made Zhong Yuanbing feel a lot of resentment towards Director Gong.

"Director Gong, after eating so many of my meals and drinking dozens of bottles of Moutai, actually played this trick on me."

"He's really an ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed!"

Zhong Yuanbing sat in his office, gritting his teeth in hatred.

But he still took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then picked up the phone.

Toot toot...

"Hey."

Hearing Director Gong's voice, Zhong Yuanbing said with a smile: "Director Gong, it's me, Xiao Zhong."

On the other end of the phone, Director Gong raised his lips and said, "It's Yuanbing. Are you calling me about the guesthouse?"

"Director Gong is so smart, he guessed what I was thinking right away, haha..." Zhong Yuanbing smiled and then said, "Director Gong, I'd like to treat you to a meal. I hope you will do me the honor of coming."

"It's not that I don't want to honor you, but I really don't have time recently. The start of the Taihe Hotel project alone has kept me busy. I think we can get together again in a few days, and I'll treat you then." Director Gong said.

Hearing this, Zhong Yuanbing's face froze, and a surge of anger rose to his head.

What do you mean by no time? What do you mean by kicking someone on the back of the head?

How could Zhong Yuanbing not hear such an obvious excuse?

"Director Gong, I'm young and ignorant. If there's anything I haven't done well, please bear with me. Or you can just give me a few words or scold me."

Zhong Yuanbing suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to put on a smile, even lowering his status to speak softly to Director Gong.

"What are you talking about, Yuanbing? I really don't have time. So, in a few days, as soon as I have time, I will call you and we can go eat fish. It's my treat."

Director Gong said this with a smile, but his words still contained a refusal.

"Yuanbing, I have a meeting to attend. That's it for now. We can talk later." After saying that, Director Gong hung up the phone.

Woo woo woo...

The receiver was busy.

Zhong Yuanbing's nose was almost crooked from anger.

"What does the surname Gong mean?"

Zhong Yuanbing really couldn't understand why Director Gong had suddenly become a different person, and his attitude towards him had taken a 180-degree turn. They had been on good terms before.

This is not common sense!

Really confused, Zhong Yuanbing picked up the phone and called his uncle Zhou Wei and told him about it.

Zhou Wei was also confused.

"Are you sure you haven't done anything wrong to offend him?"

"I'm almost worshipping him. How could I possibly offend him? Uncle, I'm worried that this Gong guy is playing two-faced with us. It's very likely that someone else is eyeing the guesthouse." Zhong Yuanbing put forward his own guess.

"That's possible."

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Zhong Yuanbing had no solution for the time being and could only ask for help from his uncle Zhou Wei.

"You pay close attention. Since it is a tender, you are qualified to bid. Prepare the bid first and wait for my news." Zhou Wei said on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I see."

Zhong Yuanbing put down the phone.

Zhong Yuanbing was determined to win the contract for the guesthouse. He had been preparing for it for such a long time, and now that it was about to begin, something unexpected happened on Director Gong's side.

He couldn't help but curse Director Gong a thousand times in his heart.

That night.

In a private room of a state-owned hotel in Taihe City.

Director Gong's face was rosy and his mouth was full of alcohol, and he was drinking happily.

"Director Gong is such a good drinker. Let me toast you another glass. I'll drink it first. Please help yourself."

A man in his twenties raised his glass and toasted Director Gong, then drank it in one gulp, looking very happy.

"Uncle, we are relying on you for the guesthouse." Another man at the same table looked at Director Gong expectantly.

Director Gong looked at his nephew and sighed.

"This matter is not as simple as you think. Everything else is easy to deal with, but Zhong Yuanbing has been thinking about it for so long that he will definitely not let it go easily."

"Uncle, you are the supervisor and the person in charge. It's up to you to decide who to assign the contract to."

"No matter how powerful that guy named Zhong is, he's just a canned food seller. Why should we be afraid of him?" Gong Hui said indifferently.

"I'm not afraid of him, not even Zhong Yuanbing's uncle Zhou Wei. What I'm worried about is the person behind Zhou Wei." Director Gong said.

"Is there someone behind Deputy County Chief Zhou? Who is it?"

"Don't ask about such things." Although Director Gong was drunk, he was not out of control yet. He immediately scolded his nephew Gong Hui.

Seeing this, another person echoed, "Director Gong, please rest assured. We will not make things difficult for you. We will follow all the procedures according to the rules. We will bid when it is time to bid and spend when it is time to spend. When the time comes, we will win the bid with real money, and no one will be able to find fault with it."

We'd like to ask you to give us some help and lean towards us. As long as we win the bid, we'll transfer the Chuncheng Juxin Restaurant to Gong Hui in return."

"Don't worry, if you do this, no one will be able to trace you back. It's absolutely safe!"

"Second Uncle!" Gong Hui shouted anxiously.

"What's the rush? You have to let me think about it."
