Cheng Kewen didn't say anything and looked at Qin Zhigang, Qin Zhigang took out a cigarette from his pocket and didn't open it, Qin Zhigang knew that the restaurant was non-smoking.

"Oh, Pengfei, about the subsidy of this delegation, why don't you report our thoughts to Mr. Qin. Cheng Kewen reminded when he saw Qin Zhigang holding a cigarette.

"Hey, I almost missed something so important. Mr. Qin, considering that this delegation is for the development of enterprises and uses weekends to travel around the world, we give each member of the delegation a certain living allowance of 2,000 US dollars per person, do you think it is okay?"

"Okay, okay, we're working very hard, I can buy something with a little subsidy, such as cosmetics, clothes, and I can also leave a souvenir," Cao Yayun said.

Qin Zhigang coughed a few times, Cao Yayun stopped talking, Qin Zhigang said: "I think it's better to call it a meal fee, running around outside, the time for eating may not be guaranteed, let everyone prepare something to eat casually." ”

"Or Mr. Qin is thoughtful, we are not familiar with the domestic situation, we always use a typo, it should be called the wrong meal fee, in fact, it is the lunch fee, okay, let's arrange this, Kewen and I will accompany the whole process during the whole delegation of overseas activities, if there is anything you need or adjust, you can just say it." Tang Pengfei said happily.

"In the end, Mr. Qin, the height of the consideration of the problem is different, and it is too good to call the lunch fee. Cao Yayun almost clapped her hands after speaking, seeing Qin Zhigang's serious expression, Cao Yayun's joy disappeared all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and ate the fruit on her plate.

Qin Zhigang suddenly asked: "Tang Pengfei, didn't you see the one who accompanied you to my office last time, it was your assistant external public relations liaison specialist, Miss Liu Manli, did she accompany the whole delegation this time?"

Cao Yayun heard that a piece of fruit in her mouth was almost stuck in her throat, she finally relieved her breath, her face was full of jealousy, she put the fruit knife on the plate, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and stared at Qin Zhigang's eyes, Qin Zhigang didn't see it, and was still waiting for Tang Pengfei to answer.

"Oh, I didn't report to you, Miss Liu Manli recently went back to the United States, her 5-year-old daughter is sick in the United States, she wants to go back to take care of it, but it doesn't matter, when you have a face-to-face communication meeting with customers in the United States HSD to promote business exchanges between the two countries' telecom operators, we asked Miss Liu Manli, not to be precise, Ms. Liu Manli to come over as a translator and accompany you to the activities of HSD in the United States. ”

"Oh, yes, Ms. Liu Manli is warm and capable, and I am very impressed. Qin Zhigang said.

"Thank you Mr. Qin for your kindness, we will definitely convey Qin Zhigang's appreciation to Ms. Liu Manli to her. Tang Pengfei said.

At this time, Cao Yayun's face turned red and her face was angry, thinking to herself, you old pervert, you have to use your brains when you see other people's good-looking women, what do you think of me, is it a rag? But the thought of going to Paris, France to shop immediately turned into a smiling face and said: "We Qin are always affectionate and righteous people, in our company everyone says that we Qin always care about people and love people, you will know after a long time of cooperation with our President Qin, and you will not suffer a loss if you make friends with our President Qin." ”

"Then please convey on my behalf to Ms. Liu Manli that the United States is going well, and that her daughter is recovering soon. Qin Zhigang said.

"Thank you, we'll pass it on. Mr. Qin, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Hey, you don't have to deliberately, we are born and matured, and now we are friends, even if we have ideas, it doesn't matter if we say something wrong, let's discuss it together, this kind of discussion is very constructive and very productive. Qin Zhigang said encouragingly.

Tang Pengfei straightened up, straightened his tie and said, "Mr. Qin, I don't know if you are satisfied with the itinerary of our preliminary 'data center project technical inspection team'?

"Oh, frankly speaking, I am still very satisfied with your itinerary plan, you have considered the problem so carefully in such a short period of time is still commendable, the specific details can be gradually improved in the implementation, such as focusing on the experience of examining the success and failure of foreign communication developed countries to establish data centers, and grasp the latest development achievements of modern science and technology, so as to better apply the successful experience of foreign countries to the construction of our data center project, and it is okay to run a few more points. Qin Zhigang said.

"I've been running around a lot of places, it's a bit like a world tour. Cao Yayun said.

"Director Cao, you can't say that, the main task of our delegation is to investigate, this is the main line, and all activities are carried out around the main line. Qin Zhigang said.

"Mr. Qin is right, we want to raise the theme of this inspection activity, mainly to investigate the latest technological achievements and the successful experience of foreign communication operators, so that this delegation is of great significance. Tang Pengfei continued: "By the way, Mr. Qin, do you see whether this 'data center project technical inspection team' will be arranged before the bidding or after the bidding results come out, please instruct." ”

Tang Pengfei saw that it was an understatement, and now he had to force Qin Zhigang to make a statement, in other words, the success before the bidding meant that the money was also out, and the project must be given to us. If the cost of the tour group is out after the bidding results come out, the wool is out of the sheep, and it should be included in the project cost.

Qin Zhigang didn't feel abrupt by Tang Pengfei's question, in fact, when the two of them were enthusiastically introducing the itinerary for going abroad just now, Qin Zhigang was already thinking about this problem, Qin Zhigang smiled and said: " The reason why we want to use international bidding for this data center project is to make this project a world-class goal, otherwise we can copy the successful experience of other places in China, so we really hope that a powerful world-class high-tech company like you will participate. Overseas investigation is a technical means, which will aim at the world's highest level at the starting point of the project, but it is not our goal, our purpose is to complete the construction of the data center project as soon as possible and give full play to social and economic benefits. Qin Zhigang waved his hand to the waiter as he spoke, asking the waiter to add some coffee to his coffee cup.

"Mr. Qin said very well, it is too high, it is not the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, this kind of political style is unmatched, I feel admired from the bottom of my heart, deeply educated and inspired. When Tang Pengfei was pouring coffee for Qin Zhigang, he seized the time to say a word of praise.

"As for the problem that Mr. Tang just mentioned, I think about it like this, according to our initial plan for me internally, the project promotion team will start work next week, and the bidding documents should be issued after a week of preparation, and the bidding activities will be completed within a week, and the bid evaluation and Q&A will be completed within a week, so that it is a month. In the second month, the bid was opened and the winning bidder signed a business procurement or service contract, and at the same time, we began a three-month expansion and renovation of the computer room, the fifth month began equipment installation and network commissioning, and the sixth month began trial operation, and then the Schindler Communications data center was fully put into operation. Qin Zhigang said.

"These ideas are so good, Mr. Qin is very far-sighted in considering the problem, and he put the new data center into service in half a year, which is breathtaking, world-class, amazing. Cheng Kewen sighed.

"You don't know, everything in the company is in the stomach of our President Qin, he knows everything best, he revealed all the plans to you, you have to take advantage of the opportunity." Cao Yayun said proudly.

"These milestones are not a trade secret, and we have described them in your tender to show the time urgency of our project. As for the key factors of winning the bid, the product quality, price and service. If we want to seize the time to start the inspection abroad before the bidding, it will inevitably make people feel preconceived and lack of fairness, so my point of view the preparation can be started as early as possible, and the real travel is still at the end of the bidding, and it is more appropriate to sign the business contract intention after the trip. ”

"Okay, Mr. Qin said well, we will make some preparations in advance, and communicate and plan with relevant customers, and wait until the business contract intention is signed, and the delegation will set off immediately after confirming that we have won the bid. ”

"Yes, you don't think I'm always demanding, I'm telling you as a friend, we do any work to stand the test of the masses, especially the bidding project must be fair and open, which is also a kind of promotion for you, only the price is reasonable, the product is excellent, the service of the business can win the bid, you say right? We are also responsible for the enterprise. Qin Zhigang took a sip of coffee after speaking.

"We keep in mind Mr. Qin's teachings and must work hard to serve well. Tang Pengfei said.

"As for the bidding project, if you have any questions, you can ask Director Cao, she is the deputy leader of our project team, and she has the authority to strengthen communication. ”

Cao Yayun said angrily: "It's our President Qin who looks up to me, tell me if you have any problems, if I can't solve it, I'll go to Mr. Qin, and he will definitely help me." ”

"Thank you Director Cao for your strong support, Mr. Qin, you can rest assured, we will keep in close contact with Director Cao, and we will consult Director Cao in time if there is any unclear place in the bid. ”

"But then again, the major decisions of the enterprise are still the final decision, as long as Mr. Qin supports it, you have hope. Cao Yayun said.

"We still have to believe that the project promotion team will be in line with the attitude of seeking truth from facts to evaluate the bid, I think this overseas delegation I invited Zhang Zhihong vice president to participate together, he understands technology, see the problem more professional than me, before the project promotion team evaluation results come out, Zhihong will definitely come to listen to my opinions, I am the first person responsible for the enterprise, of course, I have to take full responsibility for the important decisions of the enterprise, this is also a kind of responsibility, I also hope that you have a good performance, and finally have a good expected result. Qin Zhigang said.

"Thank you Mr. Qin for your trust, we will work hard, we will win this bid, and complete the construction of the data center project in accordance with your technical requirements, Mr. Qin, you can rest assured." Tang Pengfei said.

Qin Zhigang put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Today's communication is very effective, otherwise, there will be a period later." After Qin Zhigang finished speaking, he picked up the gift placed next to the chair and took it up and continued: "I will accept this small gift, I hope we will cooperate happily." ”

Tang Pengfei and Cheng Kewen have been sending Qin Zhigang and Cao Yayun out of the restaurant and accompanying them to the elevator, after Qin Zhi and Cao Yayun took the upward elevator door closed, Tang Pengfei and Cheng Kewen high-fived each other to congratulate.

"I had a good conversation with Qin Zhigang today. Tang Pengfei said.

"Today, I owe you Brother Tang, he speaks very well, and the younger brother only has admiration. Cheng Kewen said.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, after the rain, the sky is clear, Hengyuan Huxin Pavilion Jiuqu Bridge is crowded, located in the center of the lotus pond, the Huxin Pavilion teahouse connecting the Jiuqu Bridge at both ends is one of the oldest teahouses in Jianghai City, it was built in 1559, it has a long history of more than 400 years, it is an important cultural and historical landmark building in Jianghai City, the whole teahouse is an all-wood structure, there is no iron nail, the main entrance of the teahouse is hung above the three-word plaque of "Huxin Pavilion", and the eaves are hung with the "tea" word flag to the wind.

Stepping into the teahouse, the calligrapher Mr. Gao Shixiong inscribed "the first teahouse on the sea", as well as the stone tablet left in the Qing Dynasty, are even more simple and elegant. The Huxin Pavilion Tea House is divided into two floors, there are 28 horns on the roof, and the doors and windows of the beams are carved with lifelike birds, animals and figures. The furnishings in the tea house are all mahogany square tables, Chinese coffee tables, and round ancient stools. The scene of sitting by the window in the garden suddenly came into view, fragrant tea and pleasant ancient music, which has a unique and elegant rhyme.

As soon as Zhang Zhihong and Weng Wensheng stepped into the teahouse, a waiter took the initiative to step forward and said: "Good afternoon, two nobles, please come with me, there is a private seat upstairs, two upstairs, please." Zhang Zhihong and Weng Wensheng followed the waiter up the wooden stairs.

On the second floor of the teahouse, Zhang Zhihong and Weng Wensheng were drinking afternoon tea and talking in a low voice.

"Has the data center project started?" Weng said.

"Last night, the project promotion team had a kick-off meeting, and the bidding work will start in full swing next week. ”

"How much attention does Qin Zhigang attach to this project? Weng Wensheng asked.

"I have already focused on this project, and when I went to the hotel for breakfast this morning, I saw him and Cao Yayun eating with two men in suits, and it is estimated that manufacturers related to the project have flocked to the hotel. ”

"Well, as we expected, during the last term before his retirement, he wished there was such a once-in-a-lifetime project with more than a billion yuan, Qin Zhigang has violated the basic requirements of the enterprise leaders to prohibit meeting and communicating with relevant stakeholders before the bidding of commercial contracts, and now Qin Zhigang is like a drunken gambler, you have led him to the edge of the cliff, but he doesn't know that in order to compete for more interests, he just looks at the ethereal rainbow in the sky, but he doesn't know that the cliff is already under his feet, and one step forward is the abyss, okayZhihong, your chance has come. ”

"The teacher is really clever, he said it too vividly, too accurately. After Zhang Zhihong finished speaking, he raised his teacup and saluted Weng Wensheng.

"Zhihong! I told you last time that there are indeed many advantages to being a leader, but there are also disadvantages, the advantage is that your decision-making opportunities and power are huge, you can do everything you want, and no one will stop you. The disadvantage is that you are on the stage, there are many opportunities for mistakes, and the possibility of mistakes increases dramatically, if you overestimate your IQ, and there is no one around you to guide you and analyze the general trend for you, then you will sooner or later fall into the quagmire dug by yourself or others. You see that Qin Zhigang is now beside Cao Yayun, and that stupid woman will send Qin Zhigang to the grave sooner or later. ”

"The teacher's analysis is very correct, with your guidance from the teacher, I am doing it step by step..."

Weng Wensheng interrupted Zhang Zhihong's words and said: "You are wrong to think so, you are step by step, what about the future, where is the future, you can only rush forward without going forward, prepare early and start early, you must be ambitious, you must win the position of the number one, you have a future, of course, I will fully support you to achieve this goal, I am old, I will retire in a few years, you are young, there is a great future, you step by step is stagnation, is regression, live up to the teacher's training of you." It can also be said that you are the only candidate who can replace Qin Zhigang at present, you must have a clear understanding of this issue, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to put it more seriously, this is your last chance to be the leader, if you miss this opportunity, you will always stand at the feet of others, there is no chance to turn the tables again, you must take advantage of it. ”

"The teacher is right, I will grasp it well, this time Qin Zhigang handed over the data center project to me to be responsible, and I have a great chance of winning and pushing him into the quagmire. Zhang Zhihong said.

"Now it is important for you to concentrate on starting the work of the Beijing Group, so that the leaders of the group will pay attention to you and create a good political environment for your future succession. Wang Xianglin and Liu Mengjia have been going to Beijing for a while to attend a training course for cadres called new business transformation, have they opened up any channels in the Beijing group company?" Weng Wensheng asked.

"Oh, the two of them have been studying in Beijing for more than a month, and it is said that they have been confined to the group's training base on the outskirts of Beijing, where there is no progress in activities. ”

"I'm just saying, you have to go out to Beijing to do the work in person, you can't wait, the number one can't wait, although at present, only you are the most suitable to take over after Qin Zhigang, but the situation will change, I believe that many people are looking at this position, you must open up the group's rising channels, not a general working relationship, it is to have someone to support you at the group level, people who can stand up for you, you can win. ”

"Why don't you wait a little longer and see what the situation is, what do you think, teacher?"

"Wait! There is only a dead end, to be honest, it is a little late for you to start the work of the group, do you tell me which leader of the company has gone to Beijing recently?" Weng Wensheng asked.

"Recently, oh, remember, Tang Wenzhe from the company's personnel department recently went to Beijing, Liu Mengjia told me on the phone that Tang Wenzhe went to Beijing Yanxihu Group Training Center to visit them, and had dinner with them in the canteen of the training center, and learned about some training. Zhang Zhihong said.

"You see, this Tang Wenzhe must have taken the opportunity to go to Beijing to do work before you, and you still said that you have to wait and see, and there will be no chance to wait for it. ”

"Teacher, is the situation so serious? What do you suggest I do next?" Zhang Zhihong asked.

"Well, I heard that your daughter and Liang Qizheng's daughter Liang Xiaohui are best friends?" Weng Wensheng said.

"Yes, they are all studying in the same school in middle school, they all know each other in the school student union, my daughter is 5 years younger than Liang Xiaohui, my daughter is in the third year of high school, my daughter is now graduating from high school and preparing to take the TOEFL to go to college, Liang Xiaohui is now working in our company, serving as Qin Zhigang's secretary, and their relationship has always been very good. ”

"Oh, you also told me that you are very familiar with Director Wang Xuekang of the Group's Commission for Discipline Inspection. Weng Wensheng asked.

"Yes, I have been an old friend for many years, and he also asked me to help me ask Wu Minghua, the vice president of the group, who is responsible for organizing and cadre selection, to have a meal with me next time I go to Beijing. ”

"Zhihong! I didn't say you, such a good opportunity is placed in front of you, why don't you make good use of it? Don't miss the opportunity, time is not waiting for me!" Weng Wensheng said with emotion.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with dignified manners and dressed in a navy blue village girl costume came over, added hot water to the teacups of the two guests, and brought a plate of spiced beans and a plate of mung bean cake and said, "Please use it slowly, this is a small snack you ordered." After saying that, the waiter smiled and left.

As soon as Zhang Zhihong stepped into the teahouse, the waiter led them to sit at the reserved window table and set up a pickup device in advance, and this waitress was the field detective of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's procuratorate.

Weng Wensheng continued: "Zhihong, this time Qin Zhigang fell into this project, because the temptation is too great, there is no turning back, you must find a way to get through the relationship of the group company recently, it is urgent." You let your daughter talk to Liang Xiaohui first, see what Liang Xiaohui and the family need you to help do, and you will do your best to help. Then let Liang Xiaohui tell his father that you want to go to Beijing to visit Liang Qizheng, you have also been Liang Qizheng's assistant general manager, and you will clearly propose to Liang Qizheng in Beijing that you want to serve as the next general manager of Jianghai City, you must show your attitude, and it is a resolute attitude, and you will truthfully report to Liang Qizheng after serving as the general manager, hoping to get his support, and find a way to contact the vice president of the group responsible for the appointment and dismissal of cadres, and then you have to do everything possible to get close to him, and do a good job in the relationship with the vice president, in the future when you promote the leader of the Jianghai City company, as long as this vice president can help you, Liang Qizheng supports it, you will be able to successfully achieve the goal of becoming the number one of Jianghai Schindler Communication Company. Weng Wensheng said.

"What's the use of getting close to them, I've always been here, and I can't call them often, people are very realistic now, I don't get benefits, and I don't have the basis of the feelings formed by frequent exchanges, so why should people help me. Zhang Zhihong said helplessly.

"I think you're a nerd, don't you have two treasures in your hand in Beijing every day. Weng Wensheng said with a smile.

"You mean Wang Xianglin and Liu Mengjia?" Zhang Zhihong said suspiciously.

"That is, I think the two of them can't do good things, and they are still very capable of doing bad things, that Wang Xianglin is a good hand, low-voiced, flattering and flattering, that woman Liu Mengjia is still a little beautiful, scratching her head and making a pose, throwing herself into her arms to seduce a man is still very capable, I guess you just arrange for the deputy general manager of the group to have a look with Liu Mengjia and will be captured by her, let the two of them give full play to their strengths in Beijing, and it won't be long before there will be results. ”

"Mengjia is still very good to me, or..." Zhang Zhihong hesitated a little.

"What's the use, this kind of person will never die with you, it's completely an exchange of interests, if you are not the vice president of the company, can she like you, love you, and sacrifice everything for you? This kind of woman now sees you in a high position and slaps you, once the wind blows, the first to betray you is this kind of woman, I have seen a lot, no matter what, you are now the key time to rise, it is when you are employed, you are reluctant to let women can't trap the wolf, and you can't be promoted. Weng Wensheng said.

Zhang Zhihong suddenly came to his senses and said: "The teacher is right, they are in Beijing every day during this time, they should know that it wasn't me who helped them this time, the two of them would have suppressed Qin Zhigang a long time ago, maybe they have been laid off now, and they can't help me if they don't help me at a critical time, as for... Liu Mengjia, I'll find a way to make up for her in the future..."
