Chapter 28: Zhou Liang Arrives

  Thinking of the current District Director Yang Qian's concern for himself and the Seismological Bureau, Chen Gong, who was not convinced, drove his new Passat to the district government in one breath. At the gate, he was stopped by a guard who said, "This license plate number hasn't been seen before, you need to register."

  Now Chen Gong was furious, and the security guard actually let him register. He rolled down the window, "It's me, I have an urgent matter, remember my new car number, don't waste my time again in the future." After finishing speaking, he drove the car in quickly.

  Chen Gong walked into the office without even knocking on the door. "Chen Gong, what brings you here today? Is it urgent?" Yang Jie asked.

  Chen Gongqi had not yet caught his breath, "Yang Qian, leader, I'm not convinced, I've come to report a grievance to you."

  This Chen Gong is really good at handling things. The district attaches great importance to their seismic bureau, and they just want this and that. "Speak up, what's the matter?"

  Chen Gong then spoke out about the personnel bureau's Long Bureau Chief receiving bribes from others and leaking interview questions, etc. Yang Qian listened to it and knew that Chen Gong was looking for trouble. "Director Chen, tell me your opinion, what do you think should be done?"

  "Deal with it according to the law, let the Discipline Inspection Commission and Procuratorate intervene, bring a public prosecution to the People's Court, and try and adjudicate according to the law."

  Yang Qian slapped the table, "Nonsense, Chen Gong! Have you been too idle at the Seismological Bureau lately? You have to make a big deal out of something, don't you?"

  Chen Gong didn't understand why Yang Xiu suddenly got angry and said, "Yang Qu, you asked me to express my opinion, every sentence I spoke was from the heart."

  Yang Qian's tone calmed down, "Chen Gong, I think you're sometimes a bit extreme and selfish. The issue of Director Long was reported to me by Secretary He. Do you know why we all disagree with your handling plan?"

  Chen Gong shook his head, and Yang Qian slowly told Chen Gong, "You are only considering this issue from your personal interests. In fact, since we already know about this matter, it will definitely be treated fairly. This time, the exam will secretly strengthen the investigation, and a fair result will appear. As long as there is a problem, even if you have already gone to work at the reporting unit, you will be expelled."

  Chen Gong felt that Yang Jue also had some reason, but what about Director Long, he couldn't let him off so easily.

  "Chen Gong, just take care of your Seismological Bureau, these are things that our district leaders worry about. I've made it clear to you, for now we won't make a move on Director Long, and if we were to fire him, it wouldn't be under the pretext of this recruitment leak."

  "Why, Yang Qiu?"

  Yang Qian was still very patient, as if instructing a child, "You see, the problem is still limited. I think that in this country, there may not be even one case of such fraud every year. If Director Long lets his superiors come and investigate, and it's confirmed, I'll tell you, at least he'll be expelled, and will have to be locked up for several years."

  Chen Gong thought so too, only this way would let Director Long suffer the consequences of his own actions.

  "Wrong, greatly wrong, you think that just dealing with Director Long will be the end of it, but it won't. Chen Gong, do you know? If something like this happens in our Xin Qiao district, from a selfish perspective, I Yang Jian am absolutely responsible, aside from me, the Organization Department, Personnel Bureau, and Discipline Inspection Commission of Xin Qiao district are all responsible, not only that, even some leaders of Fu Hai city will be implicated. Do you think it's worth it? Moreover, in the future, our Xin Qiao district won't be able to get support from Fu Hai city, and Fu Hai city will also fall greatly in the eyes of the leaders of Nan Bu province." Yang Jian made his words clear.

  Chen Gong also understood, yes, that's the case. The district and municipal governments will both have people to take care of this matter. It can't be blamed on the leadership, only on the evaluation system for localities and cadres in Huaxia Country. Apart from the media, who would expose such an ugly affair?

  "Director, I understand. I was indeed a bit anxious about this matter. I won't mention it to anyone else, but I still hope we can handle him through other means or arrangements without affecting Yang's work. I'll head back to the office first."

  Yang Qian managed to convince Chen Gong, feeling a bit accomplished. Yeah, it wasn't easy to get this bull to listen, and if he insists on making trouble upstairs, my position as district head will be at stake.

  Chen Gong has realized that he seriously misunderstood Song Huiyun, everything she did was for the benefit of the district, and she herself had no mistakes, nor any personal factors involved. Now blaming himself is useless, so he should apologize first. However, the phone call couldn't get through, and Chen Gong is also wondering what's going on.

  After the public announcement of the tender for the Nanmian Seismic Monitoring Station in Xin Qiao District, seven companies have reported to the Xin Qiao District Earthquake Bureau, and Chen Wanrou has also officially entered the earthquake bureau. As soon as she arrived, Chen Gong arranged for her to go to the Seismic Hazard Prevention Department under Lu Feng to learn and assist Director Xie Mingjun of the Monitoring and Forecasting Department in doing a good job with the tender work, and finally decide which department she will work in.

  Fu Hai Hongtu Architectural Engineering Co., Ltd. also officially settled in Xin Qiao these two days, and Zhou Liang came to the Seismological Bureau to sign up just a few days before the project bidding deadline.

  Originally, Zhou Liang felt that the Seismological Bureau was a place with very few people and a relaxed work attitude. But after arriving, he found it completely different from his expectations. It seems that Director Chen is doing a great job.

  The registration work was all done by Director Xie Mingjun of the Monitoring and Forecasting Department, but now Chen Wenyue has arrived. This little sister is sensible, clever, loves to ask questions and do things, so the pressure on Xie Mingjun's body has been greatly reduced.

  Zhou Liang stood in front of the Monitoring and Forecasting Department office, lightly knocking on the door, his eyes scanning the room, "Excuse me, I'm here for the engineering bidding, is registration done here?"

  Chen Wanrou was indeed quick-witted, and Zhou Liang knew he had come to sign up as soon as he saw the document bag. "Hello, please come in. The registration is over here, thank you. I'll fill this out."

  Chen Wanrou had Zhou Liang sit down, let him fill out a form, and handed over a copy of the company's information with an official seal for preliminary review.

  Chen Wanrou quickly completed a complete set of application materials and handed them over to Xie Mingjun.

  Xie Mingjun carefully looked at these materials, and Chen Wanrou did things too meticulously, moved quickly, and had high quality. This girl can replace two boys, I've never seen anyone like this before.

  Looking at the photocopy of the legal person's ID card and business license in the materials, Xie Mingjun raised his head, "You are the legal representative?"

  "That's right." Zhou Liang replied.

  Xie Mingjun thought to himself, "They're a bit young, and their company's qualifications aren't high either." "Director Zhou, our initial review usually takes three days after receiving your materials. Within those three days, whether it passes or not, I'll give you a call to let you know the situation. Your level-three qualification is indeed a bit low."

  Actually, if others heard this, they would definitely think there's no hope, but Zhou Liang heard it as if he didn't hear it at all. This is not something that can be decided by just saying it, and it's not up to you to decide, it's up to Chen Shao to decide, and our company belongs to Chen Shao anyway. But the superficial work still needs to be done, "Alright, Director of this department, you guys are busy, I'll wait for your call, goodbye."

  Xie Ming doesn't like this company very much. Firstly, they came to register at the last minute when the deadline was almost up, although they didn't break any rules. Secondly, the boss is too young and looks unstable and insecure. Thirdly, their qualifications are of the lowest level, which makes him very resistant to Fu Hai Hongtu Construction Engineering Company.

  To be honest, among the seven households that have already signed up, two families have privately invited Xie Ming to dinner, but he refused. He knows that continuing to take charge of this important position is a trust from the director, because some department heads have changed, and he wants to work hard to repay Chen Gong.

  Deng Peng, this busybody, appeared again. "Director Xie, let me take a look at the list of registered units." Deng Peng had friends in one of them, knowing each other inside out, winning every battle, so Deng Peng had to get a clear understanding of the situation first.

  Looking at the list, why are there two third-level qualified companies? Although they pose a threat far less than those with first-level qualifications, having one fewer competitor is still a good thing. So I asked Xie Mingjun if this list had not been reported to Director Chen yet.

  Because the registration deadline is approaching, everything has been counted comprehensively, and Xie Mingjun will only hand it over to Chen Gong for review, so the list is still in his hands.

  Deng Peng seriously analyzed, "I suggest taking away these two third-tier qualified construction companies. Think about it, their chances of winning the bid are the smallest, and if they pass the initial review, they still have to pay a deposit, but in the end, they won't get the project. We don't want to lead them on, so when reporting to Director Chen, delete these two companies. If no third-tier qualified companies sign up, we'll handle it the same way. Director Xie, you should know that what we're looking for in a construction company is quality, not quantity."

  Xie Mingjun nodded, actually he also thought Deng Peng's words made some sense. Why bother with so many companies? Directly eliminate those with three-level qualifications, no need to report to Director Chen for review, and avoid affecting Director Chen's precious time. These days, Chen Gong has been eating boxed lunches on the scene every day.

  At this time, Chen Gong is on the project, and Lu Feng also brought some earthquake experts to the site. They are here to look forward to the great role of this project after its completion. Chen Gong also sighed and said, "If we can really build it as we said, and the technology can reach the world's first-class level, then we will be at the forefront of the country. At that time, I will definitely go to the National Earthquake Bureau to apply for an award."

  Lu Feng suggested on the side, "Okay, Director Chen, after we lay the foundation or complete it, why don't we invite some leaders from the provincial and national earthquake departments to come and give us some momentum."

  Chen Gong thought for a moment, this is a good idea, in this way, the city and district will definitely pay more attention to our work, and the funds will not be a problem. Moreover, it can attract the attention of the leaders above, and our achievements can be reflected.

  Chen Gong had some political achievements in the industrial park management committee. In this earthquake relief effort, he also needs political achievements.

  "Xiao Lu, you're in charge of formally inviting the leaders of the Provincial Seismological Bureau and the National Seismological Bureau to come over. I'll give Director Wang a call at the provincial level and ask him to show his face."

  Chen Gong has been busy with project work these days, and at night he continues to contact Song Huiyun. After making nearly twenty phone calls, someone finally answered, "Sorry, I think we may not have anything good to say. It's my fault, I'm so old but still foolishly dreaming. Don't call me again."

  Chen Gong listened to the blind sound coming from the other end of the phone and felt very annoyed.
