"Gaijan is a newly promoted deputy minister, and he has never worked on such a large project in the past. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info his family is very poor...... I mean relative to some of the other ministers. Zhang Heping commented meaningfully on Gai Zhan.

The subtext of his words, even if he was as cute as Wang Jiji, could be heard, and he asked with a smile: "Peace, do you want to say that this Gaijan is very incorruptible, or that he hasn't had time to corrupt yet?"

"I guess it's the latter. Zhang Heping said.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "You can still draw conclusions now, I'm afraid you need to contact Gai Zhan." ”

Zhang Heping said: "Xiao Feng's scruples are also right. We don't know much about this Gaijan, and it's hard to say if he didn't have time to be corrupted, or if he wasn't greedy himself. However, judging from the atmosphere of Avare, it is rare for officials to be completely ungreedy, and Gaijan can be promoted all the way, I am afraid it is not so clean. ”

Feng Xiaochen didn't refute him, but said: "This analysis also makes sense, then, what other information do you know about this Gai Zhan?"

Zhang Heping said: "As far as we know, this Gai Zhan is a little ambitious, he is not willing to stop at the position of vice minister of industry, but intends to go one step further, hoping to become a minister, and even be able to enter the cabinet." He had spoken of this idea on a number of occasions, and when we had asked some of the officials in Avaré about it, they confirmed it. ”

"This explains why Gajan did not make his personal request directly to us. I think he should be in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wants to make money, and on the other hand, he wants to establish an image of integrity, at least he doesn't want this incident to affect his career. Feng Xiaochen analyzed.

"Exactly. Zhang Heping said.

"Director Luo is right, these people just want to be a watch again, and they want to set up an archway. Feng Xiaochen said with emotion.

"So what should we do next?" Wang Genji asked.

Zhang Heping grinned, pointed at Feng Xiaochen and said, "It depends on Director Feng, it is said that Director Feng has always been good at dealing with such complex affairs. We are only responsible for providing information, not for solving problems, and it is your business to solve problems. ”

"Let's take care of this. Feng Xiaochen nodded in response, and then said: "But we still have to thank Director Zhang, without the information provided by Director Zhang, we just don't know anything about Gai Zhan, and we don't know where to start." Now that we know his background, we can prescribe the right medicine. ”

"What's the right medicine, doesn't he just want money and is embarrassed to say, let's just take the money and shoot it. Wang Genji said disdainfully, "Since this surnamed Gai wants to make money, then let's tell him directly, let him find a way to increase the price of the equipment a little, and the part of the increase is his." Anyway, it's not our Chinese's money, we don't feel sorry. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Heping and Feng Xiaochen, expecting their approval. Who would have thought that the two men would just look at each other after hearing this, and then laugh and say nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Wang Genji was a little hairy, he looked at Zhang Heping, then at Feng Xiaochen, and asked, "What do you mean, am I not right?"

Zhang Heping smiled: "I said a long time ago, this is something you consider, right or wrong, I don't judge favorably." ”

"Then Xiao Feng, do you think what I said is wrong?" Wang Jiji turned the finger to Feng Xiaochen again.

Feng Xiaochen said helplessly: "Lao Wang, it's good that things are so simple. Didn't you hear Director Zhang say that Gai Zhan is an ambitious person, he wants money, but at the same time he also needs a name. If you give him money like this out of thin air, it is impossible for him to accept it, and he may even hit the target backwards, saying that we are co-opting and corrupting him, and then we will be passive. ”

"Not really?" Wang Jiji hesitated, "If we give him money, why should he hit a target." Besides, he's chirping crookedly these days, doesn't he just want money, pretending to be a saint. ”

"He's willing to pretend to be a saint, what should you do?" Feng Xiaochen said, "For this kind of person, we can only outwit it, not attack." ”

"That's your business. Zhang Heping stretched, then pointed to the coffee on the table with his finger, and said, "Who pays for this coffee?

"Lao Wang, you should pay for what you take. Feng Xiaochen looked at Wang Jiji and said with a smile.

Wang Genji jumped up and said, "Why should we pay for it? Peace, I just told you to find a place, who told you to find a café." You also work in an agency, don't you know that you can't be reimbursed for drinking coffee?"

"Why, you can't report it? I thought your system was looser than ours, and I wanted to get rid of your light and open up foreign meat. Zhang Heping grinned.

Of course, this kind of talk is just a joke, and it can be regarded as a kind of humor with the characteristics of the institution, and people outside the system like Nguyen Phuc Gen will definitely not understand it. Feng Xiaochen called the waiter to settle the account, and inquired about the invoice, and the other party really said that it could be opened into office supplies and the like, and he would definitely not let several leaders pay out of their own pockets.

Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji returned to the Heavy Equipment Office and reported to Luo Xiangfei what they had learned from Zhang Heping. After Luo Xiangfei consulted the leaders of the Economic Commission, he summoned Feng Xiaochen, Wang Genji, Tian Wenjian, Gong Zhenxing, and relevant personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Machinery to hold a project coordination meeting to discuss matters related to "trade practices." At the meeting, everyone carefully avoided sensitive terms such as "kickbacks" and "benefit fees" and replaced them with more neutral terms such as "business expenses" and "public relations costs". However, everyone who participated in the meeting knew in their hearts that the crux of the project was stuck somewhere, and the only way to break through this crux was to adopt some inhumane means.

The matter is clear, and there is a consensus on the means that need to be taken, but the question of who is going to negotiate with Gajan, and who will ultimately handle the matter, becomes a difficult problem. There are two aspects to saying that this matter is difficult. One is that most people don't know much about the methods of engaging in this kind of transnational unspoken rules, and they feel that they don't know where to start, and on the other hand, everyone is afraid of taking responsibility, after all, once this kind of thing is investigated, the person in charge will have some risks.

"Since you don't have time, I'll do it. ”

After being cold for more than ten minutes, Feng Xiaochen broke the silence and took the initiative to take over the matter. At this meeting just now, everyone was shirking each other, saying that they had important work related to the national economy and people's livelihood to do, and they couldn't get out. Of course, Feng Xiaochen knew what everyone was thinking, so he took over the matter.

"This ......" Luo Xiangfei showed a hesitant look, he had the intention to object, but it was not appropriate to say it directly. This matter is coordinated by the Heavy Equipment Office, Feng Xiaochen took the initiative to undertake this matter, and Luo Xiangfei, as the deputy director in charge of the daily work of the Heavy Equipment Office, should be encouraged. The reason for his hesitation was that he was well aware of the risks of this matter and did not want Feng Xiaochen to be implicated. However, he can't say this, otherwise the others will not do it: Feng Xiaochen is your confidant, so if you don't let him take the risk, then do we people deserve to take the risk?

"Xiao Feng ......" Wang Genji, Gong Zhenxing and others also wanted to speak and stopped, their thoughts were similar to Luo Xiangfei, everyone had a good relationship with Feng Xiaochen, and they couldn't bear to see this shrewd and capable young man fall into this pit. But if they object, who will carry the burden? Everyone is an old fritter, who is willing to do such a thankless task.

Tian Wenjian took the lead in applauding and said, "Okay, Director Xiaofeng's spirit of bravely shouldering heavy burdens is really worth learning from." To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was an urgent matter in our ministry that I was responsible for, I would have volunteered to take on this burden. However, I also have self-knowledge, Xiao Feng was well-known and capable in the Metallurgical Bureau in the past, and he had to do it in this matter, and if someone else did it, he might have done it. ”

Hearing Tian Wenjian praise Feng Xiaochen like this, Luo Xiangfei frowned, but it was inconvenient to say anything. Feng Xiaochen didn't seem to understand Tian Wenjian's intentions, but said with a smile: "Director Tian praised me too much, I just saw that everyone was busy, I just happened to have some free time, I can go and get in touch with Gai Zhan." In fact, if Director Tian can spare a day or two, I am willing to give Director Tian a hand, and Director Tian will deal with this matter. ”

"I just can't find the time. Let's just say that there is a meeting today, I have taken leave to come out, and I will have to work overtime after I go back, maybe I will have to stay up all night tonight. Tian Wenjian said that he was even more miserable than Yang Bailao, and everyone understood what he thought, so they all sneered, and it was inconvenient to say anything.

"Since Xiao Feng took the initiative to ask Ying, then Xiao Feng should contact him first, listen to what Gai Zhan thinks, and then speak. Luo Xiangfei said, "However, the matter of contact with Gai Zhan was collectively decided by our joint meeting, and there are meeting minutes as evidence. In case of a change in the policy in the future, everyone needs to prove to Xiao Feng and not let Xiao Feng be held responsible. ”

"No problem!"

"That's for sure, in fact, Xiao Feng took the initiative to help us all share our worries, how could he let him take responsibility alone. ”

"We can't do anything about it, who makes international trade practices like this?"

"That's it, Xiao Feng is doing things according to international practice......"

Everyone echoed and expressed their desire to block bullets for Feng Xiaochen. However, this kind of talk is just to listen to, and if you want to talk about meritorious deeds in the future, everyone will say that they have also contributed to it. And if the state has a new policy and takes a negative attitude towards this kind of thing, I am afraid that most people will claim that they only reserved their opinions at the beginning and had nothing to do with the matter.
