"Assistant Feng, I'm very sorry, that's all we can do. ”

"Yes, Dean Kang, if that's the case, it's a pity. ”

"Excuse me, how is the Equipment Industry Company going to deal with this?"

"As I said, everything works according to the contract. I'm sorry, Dean Kang, but we've already given you a chance......"

Three days later, the talks unsurprisingly collapsed. Kang Haidong asked the secretary of the hospital office to write the plan in the most euphemistic way, but Feng Xiaochen denied it on the spot. In fact, Kang Haidong also knew that his plan would definitely not satisfy Feng Xiaochen, but he had no choice, because he really did not dare to promise to complete the design in half a year or less, and this was Feng Xiaochen's bottom line for the Petrochemical Design Institute.

In the past three days, Kang Haidong has not made any efforts. He held a meeting with a number of people and tried to convince the researchers to devote themselves to the design of the ethylene plant and complete the task in the shortest time possible. Those veteran engineers and middle-level cadres responded to his requests, and although they kept emphasizing the difficulties, they also expressed some determination. The younger generation is completely different, they all gave silent answers to Kang Haidong's words, at most when Kang Haidong asked them to express their position by name, they said "everything is arranged by the hospital", and the negative attitude of sabotage is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, how dare Kang Haidong pack a ticket for Feng Xiaochen, he could only ask the secretary to write a lot of specious rhetoric in the plan, and there was no content at all.

Feng Xiaochen was not surprised by this result, and even secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After chatting privately with Zhou Ting, Shao Youshi and others, he knew that the situation on the side of the petrochemical institute was very bad, and there was no possibility of completing the task at all. If Kang Haidong gave him a conclusive plan, he would really be a little difficult to do, because he knew that such a plan would be impossible to complete, but he couldn't find a reason to make trouble.

Now it's okay, the plan submitted by Kang Haidong is obviously untenable, not only Feng Xiaochen thinks so, but Wu Shican, Xue Ducang and others who came with him also have the same opinion. After reading the plan, Feng Xiaochen made it clear that he couldn't accept this plan, and Kang Haidong also made it clear that the petrochemical institute could only do this, and he just had to say another cruel thing like "if you want to kill, you have to kill casually".

Seeing off Feng Xiaochen and his entourage, Kang Haidong came to the office of Dean Xu Aizhong and reported the conversation with Feng Xiaochen to Xu Aizhong. Xu Aizhong sighed and said: "Hey, it's our fault to say this, we evaluated it at the beginning, and thought that the design could be completed in one year, but now it has been delayed for a year and a half and has not been completed, no wonder the equipment company has an opinion." ”

"The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. Kang Haidong said with emotion.

"It's not like this in one of our units, this is the case in many units, what can be done?" Xu Aizhong said indignantly, "If you want me to say, this is all a problem that has been changed by reform, and in the past, how could there be so many things." It's good now, you have to negotiate the conditions for doing some work, what bonuses, houses, job titles, it's pure individualism!"

Kang Haidong smiled bitterly, and didn't bother to debate with Xu Aizhong, but said: "Dean, the problem now is that the equipment company is very dissatisfied and refuses to accept our new plan, what should we do?"

"What did they say?"

The young man said that he would do it according to the contract. ”

"According to the contract, how does the contract stipulate?"

"If it cannot be completed on time, it will be liable for breach of contract, including the return of the contract money, and financial compensation. ”

"How to return the contract money?" Xu Aizhong snorted, "The money has already been spent, how can we return it to them?" Besides, it's not like we haven't done anything at all, haven't we held a few seminars before, and the overall design plan has been drafted several times, how can this money be refunded to them?"

Kang Haidong said: "Of course, it is impossible to return the money, but it is estimated that they will use this as an excuse to go to the head office to sue us." On the head office side, there will definitely be no way to go back, and we will definitely be asked to make some representations in the end. ”

Xu Aizhong said: "They are really looking for the head office, and we are not afraid." We took the contract money they paid, and we didn't give it to private individuals. If we reimburse the workers for medical expenses, buy equipment, buy a car, and build a house, all of which are reasonable expenses, what can the head office say? I estimate that this matter is also nonsense......

As soon as they said this, the two suddenly found that the desk lamp on Xu Aizhong's desk had gone out for no reason, and when they looked up again, they found that the speed of the ceiling fan above their heads had dropped suddenly. Then, there was some noise in the corridor of the office building, and many people came out of the office and asked other colleagues loudly:

"Hey, why did the power in our office go out?"

"Our office is also ......"

"It's like the whole building has stopped. ”

"Is there a power outage in the family area?"

Hearing these voices, Kang Haidong opened the door and came to the corridor and shouted: "Old Hou, Hou Chao!"

Hou Chao, the director of administration, ran out of his office and said to Kang Haidong: "Dean Kang, I'm here!"

"What's the power out?"

"I don't know, it won't be the power supply bureau to overhaul the line, right?"

"What line is being repaired in broad daylight, you call and ask, see what's going on. ”

"Understood!"

Hou Chaoran back to call, Kang Haidong didn't care, and still returned to Xu Aizhong's room to discuss the matter of the equipment company with him. Power outages are not uncommon, equipment inspections, transformer failures, etc., can lead to power outages, and everyone will not make a fuss.

A few minutes later, Hou Chao came to Xu Aizhong's office with a frightened face, and the first thing he did after entering the door was to close the door first, and then listened to the outside, making sure that no one was standing outside the door eavesdropping, and then walked to Xu Aizhong's desk.

"Old Hou, what are you doing here, how are you secret. Xu Aizhong noticed Hou Chao's strange appearance and asked in surprise.

"Dean Xu, Dean Kang, something happened. Hou Chao said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" both deans asked at the same time.

"The power supply bureau has pulled our gates. Hou Chao said.

"What do you mean?" Xu Aizhong didn't react for a while.

Hou Chao said: "I called just now to ask, and the power supply bureau said that we owed them the electricity bill, and they pulled our gates." ”

"Nonsense!" Kang Haidong said angrily, "When do we owe them the electricity bill?" Isn't it the beginning of the month to pay the electricity bill of the previous month, and it is not yet the end of the month, what do they charge for the electricity?"

Hou Chao said: "That's right, the power supply bureau said that they received a notice from their superiors that the bank account of our design institute had been frozen, and it was impossible to pay the electricity bill, so they pulled our gates." ”

Xu Aizhong was even more confused: "Freeze the account, isn't this nonsense, when did the bank freeze our account......

The answer was soon available, and Chen Yujuan, the director of finance, hurriedly ran over and reported to Xu Aizhong that she had just received a notice from the bank that the account of the Petrochemical Design Institute had been frozen, and the bank would no longer accept checks issued by the Petrochemical Institute from now on.

"What is the reason, why did the bank freeze our accounts?" Xu Aizhong finally couldn't calm down. The power supply bureau can explain that it is a false rumor, and it may even be that a staff member is looking for a reason to embarrass the design institute and want to get some benefits. But the bank called to notify you of the freezing of the account, which is not a joke. You know, it has been almost 40 years since the establishment of the Petrochemical Design Institute, and there has never been such a thing.

"The bank said that we did not fulfill the contract with the equipment industry company on time, and the equipment company sued us in court and demanded a refund of the full payment. The court froze our accounts, fearing that we would spend our money. Chen Yujuan sneered. When she heard about it on the phone just now, she was already dumbfounded. As the director of finance, she was of course very clear about the matter between the petrochemical institute and the equipment company, but she never expected that the other party would make such a ruthless move.

"It's been less than an hour since they left me, and they've been able to get the court to freeze our accounts," Kang Haidong said in surprise.

"This means that before those people came to us, they had already greeted the court, and they were just waiting for the negotiation with us to collapse, and they would immediately call the court to enforce it. Hou Chao's brain was quite fast, and he figured out the joints at once.

"It's too arrogant!" Xu Aizhong slapped the table fiercely, "Go to the court to sue us, and also block our accounts, and even pinch us with electricity, this is to give us a dismount position! Our design institute is also a well-known state unit, and their equipment company is on an equal footing, what do they want to do!"

Kang Haidong pondered for a while and said, "Dean, I don't think this matter is simple. If you think about it, it is impossible for the equipment company to act so fast, and it is obvious that the court, the bank, and the power supply bureau are fully cooperating with them, otherwise they would not have done so extremely. I guess they found a relationship through the Economic Commission, just to embarrass us. No wonder the person surnamed Feng dared to say cruel words, it turned out that there was such a backhand. ”

"Fart!" Xu Aizhong didn't care about the intellectuals, he scolded angrily, and then said: "If they can find someone, can't we find someone? Whose responsibility is it to block our account for no reason, and to cut off our electricity, which affects our work? I will call the head office, I want to ask, are we still a state-owned unit, a small equipment industrial company, why did it climb on our heads!"
