Xu Yun raised his glass and said, "Uncle Qin, do you want to hear my advice? If you believe me, let's drink this glass of wine and I will tell you my opinion. It is said that the onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved. What do you think? "
Qin Zhongming had been waiting for Xu Yun to say this. Seeing that Xu Yun had said so, he also raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's drink! I really need you to give me some pointers. I'm lost. I'm old, and I'm really confused. "
The two of them raised their glasses. There was about six or seven coins in the glass. They drank it directly. After drinking it, they smacked their lips because of the spiciness, but their stomachs were warm. Huaxia people couldn't talk about anything without drinking. This habit had really become an unchanging rule throughout the ages.
Qin Wan 'er hurriedly got up and scooped up the mutton and vegetables in the pot for the two of them. She complained and muttered, "Okay, Xu Yun, don't let my father drink so much. What can't he drink? Isn't the Confucius family's wine good? Why must he drink so much? I think you are a big stupid donkey."
"Hey, Uncle Qin, listen, listen, how can Qin Wan 'er talk like that? What did I do to become a stupid donkey? " Xu Yun grinned and said, "We drink the wine of our province every day. What's wrong with changing the style? How can it be stupid to taste the wine of other provinces for a change?"
Qin Zhongming pretended to be angry and said to Qin Wan 'er, "Wan' er, what you said just now was really too much. Quickly pour a glass of wine for Xu Yun and apologize."
Qin Wan 'er stared at him and said, "I apologize to him? I am already giving him face by not cutting him. Why should I apologize to him? Dad, are you kidding? Who asked him to drink such a high alcohol content? Isn't the 38% wine good? This is 68% wine! None of you should drink anymore. "
Xu Yun ignored her. This was a 750ml bottle of Smothered Donkey, which was half a liter. The two of them had drunk 650ml, and they hadn't even drunk half a bottle. Of course, Xu Yun wouldn't stop. "Come on, Uncle Qin, I don't expect her to pour wine for me. I'll pour wine for you. Let's drink and not waste time with her. We Hua Xia people are particular about drinking in pairs. Come, come, come. "
Qin Wan 'er still wanted to get angry, but Ruan Qingshuang pulled her and motioned her to sit down. "Just let them drink. Don't stop them. Uncle Qin and Xu Yun are not the kind of people who lose control after drinking. It doesn't matter if they drink."
"Okay, I'll take this glass. Sister Frost, the alcohol content is too high. I'm afraid my dad can't handle it." It was not that Qin Wan 'er did not want her father to drink. She was just like many other children. She was worried about her father's health.
Ruan Qingshuang nodded. "I know. I'll keep an eye on them for you."
Xu Yun continued to provoke Qin Wan 'er. "Did you hear that? Did you see that? Learn from Sister Frost. I'm not trying to provoke you, but if you can be half as virtuous as Sister Frost, you won't have a problem getting married."
Qin Wan 'er was so angry that she rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Qin Zhongming looked at the young people bickering. Although he didn't say anything, he was very happy in his heart. It was said that between young people, fighting was affection. If they didn't fight and scold, they wouldn't love each other.
"Uncle Qin, listen to me. I'll tell you about your current situation. Tell me if this is the case." Xu Yun said seriously, "Originally, the artificial lake project you proposed was a good thing. It could improve the development of tourism in Hedong City. To put it bluntly, it could attract some tourists to stay in Hedong City for a few more days. This could drive the economic development of the whole city's food, accommodation, and all kinds of consumables."
Qin Zhongming nodded. "Xu Yun, you know me best. When I first proposed this project, the city actually suspected that I was making a fuss. Sigh, it would be great if someone like you could be used by the country. Nowadays, the ability of the country's civil servants is really lower than the average level of society. Too many people are afraid that they won't be able to survive in this survival of the fittest society, so they take on this iron rice bowl job … Sigh, this is the country and society's failure. How many people like you who are really capable are not used by the country? What a pity. "
Xu Yun blushed at Qin Zhongming's flattery. "Uncle Qin, you're being too serious. I was just saying it casually. Feng Guoqing didn't admit that the artificial lake project was good at first because he was afraid that you would do something and steal his limelight. It's not that people can't see the advantages of this project. "
"You're right. Indeed, Feng Guoqing keeps a close eye on everything I do." Qin Zhongming was full of praise for Xu Yun's observation skills.
Xu Yun continued, "But later, he admitted that it was a good project and let you be in charge of it. Uncle Qin, Feng Guoqing wants to take advantage of the fact that you're new to Hedong City and don't have many connections here to give you this fat meat. This way, many people will consider that you don't have any connections here, and they'll be shameless enough to recommend their connections to you. If you refuse, you'll offend them. That's why you're in a deadlock of being betrayed by everyone. "
These words made sense. Qin Zhongming was truly moved by the fact that the onlooker had a clear view of the situation. Up until now, he still couldn't understand why Feng Guoqing would give him such a lucrative job. One had to know that this was an opportunity that many people dreamed of.
"Also, if you accept any bribes, Feng Guoqing will not hesitate to send someone to report you to the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Xu Yun smiled and continued, "So, in this matter, Feng Guoqing is a double-edged sword. No matter which side you take, he will be able to hurt you. If you accept bribes, he'll have something on you. If you don't accept bribes, you'll offend all the people around you. No matter which choice you make, it'll only be beneficial to him. "
Qin Zhongming nodded. That was indeed the case. No matter what, he had been ruthlessly checkmated in this game of chess.
"In order to save the people around you, you announced the provincial bidding. This is your last resort." Xu Yun guessed correctly, and then he sighed. "However, we didn't expect that Lu Feng would cause such a big mess. He made the decision without permission, and actually wanted to use the advantage of being a local bully to intimidate the bidders from outside the city. In the end, it caused such a big mess and gave you even more trouble. "
Seeing that Xu Yun was a little embarrassed, Qin Zhongming patted Xu Yun's shoulder. "Haha, Xu Yun, you're not to blame for this. You can't blame Lu Feng and the others. They thought it through. Actually, I understand. If I gave the project to Lu Feng, I would be relieved. Because of my relationship with you, I believe that Lu Feng won't cut corners. But I have to make the bidding public. This is not to prove how honest I am, but to show Feng Guoqing. "
Xu Yun nodded. "Uncle Qin, I understand what you said. So, I know even more clearly that this job can't be given to Lu Feng and the others. Once it's given to them, Feng Guoqing will definitely find some clues and frame you for abusing your power."
Qin Wan 'er couldn't listen to it anymore. She didn't expect that the government compound where her father worked would be so full of intrigue. "Dad, since Feng Guoqing doesn't like you, you should write a letter to apply for a transfer! Why do you have to lower yourself to his level? "
"It's not that I haven't thought about leaving, but if I leave, I'll be running away. In the political struggle, once you start running away, it means that you've lost forever." Qin Zhongming was very serious when he said this.
Xu Yun raised his wine glass and toasted Qin Zhongming. "Uncle Qin, we can't run away from this, and we can't lose. Feng Guoqing has the mentality that you can't do this project well, so he dares to let you be in charge of this project and then wait to see you make a fool of yourself. Then you have to do a beautiful job of transforming this artificial lake. That would be equivalent to slapping Feng Guoqing's face with a loud and clear slap! "
Qin Zhongming smiled bitterly and sipped his wine. "I also want to finish this project beautifully, but I really don't have the strength to do it. Because of the problem with the bidding of the artificial lake, no one in Hedong City dares to mess with it. They all think it's a piece of fatty meat soaked in poison. Although the fatty meat is fragrant, no one wants to take a bite and lose their life. "
"Since we are bidding in the province, there are many companies in other cities that can do this project. Such a piece of fatty meat, there will be people who want to eat it," Xu Yun said affirmatively.
"Yes, there will definitely be people who want to eat such a piece of fatty meat. You know, our condition is to directly give away more than 900 mu of land around the artificial lake!" Qin Zhongming sighed. "This is not a small temptation for any company. Otherwise, no one would bring a gun to fight with Lu Feng. Since ancient times, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its old haunts. And this kind of person who can suppress a snake in its old haunts is not an ordinary strong dragon … "
Xu Yun knew Qin Zhongming's worry. "You are afraid that provoking this kind of person will bring unnecessary trouble to Hedong City?"
Qin Zhongming nodded his head: "That's right, if another bidding is announced, then this person who can bring people to take down Lu Feng and the others will definitely come to compete again. Once he takes down this project, if Lu Feng finds out ….. Hehe, Xu Yun, even if you have a good temper, can you tolerate a group of people who bullied your brother and openly engage in construction under your nose?"
"Of course not," Xu Yun said bluntly. "I will definitely destroy him."
Qin Zhongming sighed. "This is what I am worried about. I am worried that in the end, the people who have the ability to win this project are really those who are not afraid of Lu Feng. By then, it will be too late. This project will not be a good one, and it will cause a bloody storm in Hedong City. By then, I will really become the sinner of Hedong City. Because I can't control it, I am worried that what happens in the end will be something I cannot bear. "
