Deputy Bureau Chief Shi was seriously handling his work in the office. On the other hand, Huang Zhimo was personally driving to Bureau Chief Tan's house to pick him up for work under the guidance of his chauffeur. After all, Bureau Chief Tan was the head of the bureau. It wasn't a problem for him to be late for work by three to five minutes.
Besides, Bureau Chief Tan and Huang Zhimo had too much fun at the private club last night. They drank a little too much. It couldn't be helped that they couldn't get out of bed in the morning. Huang Zhimo also drank a lot. If it was a normal day, he would definitely need to catch up on sleep. However, today was different. Today's matter was too important.
After Bureau Chief Tan received Huang Zhimo's call, he immediately informed the bureau's chauffeur that he didn't need to pick him up anymore. After sitting in Huang Zhimo's 7 series BMW, Bureau Chief Tan couldn't help but sigh. "Aiya, this luxury car is still the most comfortable. Chief Huang's BMW is much more comfortable than my Passat. "
"If Bureau Chief Tan feels comfortable, then I'll let the chauffeur come and pick you up every morning!" Huang Zhimo immediately patted his chest when he heard this.
"Hahaha, Chief Huang, how can I be qualified to enjoy this treatment?" Bureau Chief Tan said, "Our level is only the level of a Passat. We're not qualified to sit in a BMW."
Huang Zhimo didn't agree with this. "Bureau Chief Tan is working for the country and the people every day. You're definitely qualified to sit in a BMW. Let's just happily decide like this, right?"
"This can't be decided in a hurry. Chief Huang, I know why you came to me, but I also made it very clear yesterday." Bureau Chief Tan said, "I'm really not in charge of this matter. Bureau Chief Shi has taken all the responsibility. You should talk to him."
Bureau Chief Tan knew Huang Zhimo's thoughts too well. Wasn't it just the issue of affordable housing? He was willing to help him on this matter, but he also completely agreed with the decision of the higher-ups at that time. He gave all the power to the stone in the latrine pit.
"Bureau Chief Tan, no matter what, Deputy Bureau Chief Shi is still the deputy bureau chief. Even if he's in charge of this matter, your words … aren't they still very useful?" Huang Zhimo smiled and said, "Besides, I can't get in touch with Deputy Bureau Chief Shi. He's a bit … a bit … that, hahaha."
"A bit what? Smelly and tough, right? "Chief Tan knew his colleague quite well.
Hearing this, Huang Zhimo could only laugh. He didn't dare to say anything bad about Deputy Director Shi. "Hahaha, you know Deputy Director Shi better."
"Since you know that he is smelly and hard, then you must have hit a wall in front of him. Am I right?" Chief Tan said, "President Huang, did you not do enough?"
When Huang Zhimo heard this, he wanted to cry. This was not enough! He had offered a seven-figure sum of money to Deputy Director Shi, but Deputy Director Shi didn't even bat an eyelid. As soon as he heard that it was about affordable housing, Deputy Director Shi directly told him that Deputy Director Shi had chosen his company to be one of the five companies because of their overall strength.
Without waiting for Huang Zhimo to explain anything, Deputy Director Shi directly sent him out of the house. He didn't accept the seven-figure sum of money. Perhaps it was because he was timid, but even the various gifts that Huang Zhimo brought were rejected. He didn't keep the luxury watch that was worth more than a hundred thousand for Deputy Director Shi, nor did he accept the jewelry that was worth more than a hundred thousand for his wife. Even the Apple Three Musketeers, notebooks, tablets, and phones that were worth more than a hundred thousand for his children were all taken out.
This really left Huang Zhimo at a loss. He had been in business for so many years, but he had never seen such a stubborn guy.
If Hua Xia were all government officials like this, it would really be a good thing for businessmen like them. But after all, this was the minority that he had seen. In the face of this kind of person who couldn't become friends with him, Huang Zhimo was completely out of ideas. Only then did he shift his target to Chief Tan.
He pondered. After all, Chief Tan was the head of the department. Saying something should be of some use, right?
"Chief Tan, I've done everything well, but our Deputy Chief Shi is stubborn. Chief Tan, I'm begging you this time. Can you help me and say something?" Huang Zhimo said shamelessly, "I'm really out of ideas."
"It's not a problem for me to say something, but I can't guarantee whether it'll be useful or not," Chief Tan said perfunctorily.
"It'll be useful, of course it'll be useful. After all, you're the chief!" Huang Zhimo was overjoyed. Deputy Director Shi didn't have to give him face, but he couldn't not give face to his chief!
Chief Tan laughed dryly. Give him face? Hmph, this Old Shi might not give it to him. Didn't he give him enough face? When had he ever given him face? As long as he did anything that was contrary to the ban, Old Shi would always openly bring it up. He would even not give him a way out in public during meetings.
After so many years, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't find any evidence against him, he would have taken him down long ago.
Sigh, this Huang Zhimo's request was really difficult. However, Chief Tan had to agree. There was no other way. He had accepted Huang Zhimo's money yesterday and ate and drank his food. If he didn't do something, his "reputation" would be affected. Who would dare to ask him to do things?
With Chief Tan's agreement, Huang Zhimo felt more at ease. While he was on the way to send Chief Tan to the bureau, his men should have also rushed over.
Just as Huang Zhimo and Chief Tan arrived at the Bureau of Housing and Urbanism, they coincidentally bumped into Yang Zhen who had just arrived. The two core competitors had arrived at their destination nearly an hour earlier. It was really "envious when enemies meet".
What shocked Yang Zhen was that after Huang Zhimo got out of the car, Chief Tan actually followed him out!
Yang Zhen, who originally wanted to mock and ridicule him, quickly put on a smiling face and went forward to shake hands. "Hello, Chief Tan! You … What's wrong? "
"Oh, I met him on the way." Chief Tan played it down. "I still have things to do, so I'll go first. The auction will still take a while. You guys can wait for a while. "
Chief Tan's attitude towards this Yang Zhen who didn't have any intention of looking for him was neither cold nor warm. He didn't say much and turned to leave with Huang Zhimo.
Huang Zhimo looked at Yang Zhen proudly. "Director Yang, what a coincidence. You came so early too?"
"Isn't Director Huang the same? You came so early too." Yang Zhen said unhappily.
"Aiya, I don't have a choice. I received a call from Chief Tan this morning saying that he had something to discuss with me. That's why I picked him up and rushed over. Otherwise, why would I come so early? Coming early doesn't mean I can win this project. Isn't that right, Chief Yang?" Huang Zhimo was trying to overwhelm Yang Zhen with his imposing manner.
Yang Zhen's expression didn't change. "That's right. It's better to come at the right time than to come early. However, you have to find the right person to do this. Otherwise, if you find someone who isn't in charge of this, you won't be able to get anything done no matter how hard you try. I wonder if Director Huang has any experience in this area? "
"Aiya, I really don't have any experience in this area. I've always been very reliable." Huang Zhimo sneered in his heart.
"Hahaha, life is unpredictable. No matter what happens, you will encounter it. Director Huang, you have to be mentally prepared. Who knows, you might be able to gain some social experience today. "Yang Zhen's words were really good.
"Hahaha …" Huang Zhimo could only laugh dryly. "So, Director Yang feels that this project is already in the bag?"
