Then, Liu Tao dialed Principal Zhang's mobile phone.

However, the other party did not answer. Liu Tao hit three times in a row, but the other party refused to answer.

It made him so depressed.

It seems that being an official is prudent, especially when an official reaches a certain level, he is even more cautious. Unfamiliar numbers, basically dare not answer.

There was no way, Liu Tao had to send a text message to the other party, indicating his identity.

Less than a minute later, the other party called.

"Liu Tao, I didn't expect it to be you. How did you know my phone number? Principal Zhang's hearty laughter came from the other end.

"I called Director Su, and she told me." Liu Tao replied.

"I said. How? Is there anything you want me to do? Principal Zhang asked.

"yes. I want to discuss something with you, but I wonder if it's convenient for you to talk now? Liu Tao asked.

"Convenient, what's inconvenient about this. You say. Principal Zhang said.

"I want to contract the school cafeteria. Of course, just one of them. Liu Tao said straight to the point.

"The school's cafeteria was re-tendered after the contract expired. If I'm not mistaken, there should be half a year left before it expires. If you terminate the contract with the contractor now, you will be required to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages. Principal Zhang said.

"I'll pay for the liquidated damages." Liu Tao said.

"If you say so, then this matter will be easy to handle. Which restaurant do you want to contract? Principal Zhang asked.

"The first restaurant or the third restaurant. Both cafeterias are quite large and host a large number of students. Liu Tao said.

"I'll tell you the truth. The contractor of the first restaurant is a relative of a certain leader of the provincial education department, and if the contract is hastily terminated. I'm afraid I'm going to make me passive. As for the third restaurant, it also has a background, but it is slightly smaller. Or I'll contract you the third restaurant. Principal Zhang said.

"Okay!" Liu Tao readily agreed. In fact, for him, there is no difference between the first restaurant and the third restaurant, as long as he can contract it and hand it over to Shui Linglong to operate, basically the rest of the restaurants will be under a lot of pressure.

To put it bluntly, the more you survive to the bottom, the more likely you will lose.

"This matter is in charge of Minister Qin of the Logistics Department. I'll give him a call right now. You just go to him and find him. Principal Zhang said.

"Yes. I'm sorry to disturb your rest, and I'll treat you to dinner another day. Liu Tao said.

"You don't need to be so polite with me. But if I have the opportunity, I want to ask you to help pull the strings, I want to invite Director Su to dinner. Principal Zhang hesitated for a moment and said.

"No problem. I'll arrange this. Liu Tao said.

"Thank you very much. I'll call Minister Qin now, and you can just go over directly." Principal Zhang then hung up the phone.

Liu Tao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the disconnection sound from the other end of the phone. It is important to know that Dongshan University is a well-known university in the country. The presidents of Dongshan University are all academicians, and the administrative level is very high. However, Rao is like this, and he still can't get rid of the human feelings and sophistication of this society.

Liu Tao is no stranger to Minister Qin. The last time he contracted the business district, Minister Qin single-handedly facilitated.

He quickly came to the door of the other party's office and knocked on the door. Then walked in.

"Liu Tao, come, sit. Principal Zhang had just finished calling me when you came. Minister Qin stood up very enthusiastically and greeted.

"Yes! Didn't bother you with work, did you? Liu Tao smiled at the other party, and then sat down.

"Nope." Minister Qin hurriedly shook his head. said: "I just went to work, and I haven't started working yet. ”

"Minister Qin. We're all old acquaintances, and I don't go around in circles with you. How much is the annual contract fee and liquidated damages for the third restaurant, you can directly quote the amount to me. Liu Tao said.

"It stands to reason that after the restaurant contract expires, it will be re-tendered. But like you said, we're old acquaintances, so we don't have to think about it so much. In addition, the current business district is running very well, in addition to contributing a part of the profits, but also solving the life problems of so many students, so that the teachers and students of the school feel very satisfied. Sit down here for a moment, and I'll count it for you. Minister Qin said.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded.

Soon, Minister Qin reported a number. For Liu Tao, this number is just a drizzle.

"When will the contract be re-signed?" Liu Tao asked.

"Anytime. I can call the contractor at Restaurant 3 right now and ask him to come over and terminate the contract. Minister Qin said.

“ok。 Do you want cash or check? Liu Tao asked.

"Either way. There are too many words in cash, so it's better to check it. Minister Qin replied.

"I'll call Shui Linglong right now and ask her to come over and sign the contract." Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Minister Qin nodded and called the contractor.

But after a while, a man with a red face from drinking and not yet sobering up rushed in.

"Minister Qin, what the hell is going on! Why do you want to terminate the contract with me? The man asked loudly at Minister Qin.

"Mr. Huang! Don't be in a hurry! Sit down and talk slowly. Minister Qin said with a smile. He knew very well in his heart what kind of background the contractors of the school cafeteria were, but there was no way, Liu Tao's background was too big for him to imagine. Otherwise, Principal Zhang would not have personally called to inquire about this matter. Weighing the pros and cons, he naturally has to offend the owner of the restaurant.

"Speak slowly! You're going to terminate the contract with me, what do I have to say! Mr. Huang scolded indignantly.

"The contract still has half a year to expire, and we will compensate for liquidated damages according to the contract signed at the beginning. Don't get excited, sit down and talk. Minister Qin tried to control his emotions and persuaded with a smile.

"Why do you want to break the contract with me? Is it because of this kid? Mr. Huang had also noticed Liu Tao at this time.

"Not bad! It's because I want to contract the restaurant. Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.

"Why are you fighting with me, boy? Do you know what Lao Tzu does? Mr. Huang blew his beard at Liu Tao and glared at him and asked.

"I don't care what you do. All in all, I have contracted the third restaurant. Liu Tao's face showed a hint of domineering.

"Okay! You kid has a kind! Minister Qin, you have to terminate the contract with me, do you? If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not informing you. Mr. Huang's words were full of threats.

"This ...... Mr. Huang, I have something to say. I can only follow the call from President Zhang just now. Minister Qin whispered.

"It's been a long time, you're a relative of Principal Zhang! Yes! You wait for me! I promise you won't be able to open this restaurant! Mr. Huang continued to threaten.
