Zhan Tiancheng admitted that he only contacted Baishou through Zhang Xiaonan, and he really never looked for Baishou in person.

"Lao Zhan, you and Lao Zhang have been friends for many years, between you, a phone call and a greeting can handle anything."

Zhan Tiancheng nodded and hummed.

"Lao Zhan, thank you for looking up to me and treating me as a friend. I'm honored, I'm flattered, and I treat you as a friend. But after all, you and I are new friends, and I think it's not appropriate for you to pull me into cooperation, and you shouldn't ask someone to pass on the word. ”

Zhan Haitao said: "Dad, I think Xiaobai is right. ”

"Lao Zhan, I think you are my senior, and you are also my predecessor in terms of age. But in the industry, even if I am a newcomer, I am the same age as you, and I should be equal. Therefore, when you entrusted Lao Zhang to find me, instead of you speaking in person, I thought you looked down on me. I made up my mind that I wouldn't work with you this time. ”

The white hand is reasonable, Zhan Tiancheng can only apologize, he underestimated the white hand too much.

Zhan Haitao also said that his father was not.

"Lao Zhan, there is another important reason why I don't cooperate with you this time, that is, in the relationship with friends, I have three principles for dealing with people. ”

"What are the three principles?" Zhan Haitao asked.

Bai Shou said his three principles of conduct and behavior, "...... My general rule is that a friend is a friend, and business is a business. If a friend is in business with a partner, they can't be friends. ”

Zhan Tiancheng nodded and asked, "Xiaobai, don't you mean the same thing about this cooperation and partnership?" ”

"It's not a meaning, Xiao Zhan, what do you think?"

Zhan Haitao said: "Xiaobai is right. Xiaobai, my dad still doesn't understand, you explain it. ”

"Lao Zhan, this project of the School of Finance was contracted by me alone, and I have no partner. But now there are six engineering teams working on the construction site, in addition to my men. My relationship with them is a typical partnership. We have strict contractual constraints, and the accounts are cleared and there are no sequelae. If anyone violates the contract, I will definitely deny it. ”

Zhan Haitao sighed, "You mean to say that my dad and Zhang Xiaonan and Fang Zili went to pull the project, not a cooperative relationship, but a partnership?" ”

"Isn't it? What should I do if I go to pull the project together and succeed? What if it doesn't work? How much does it cost? How do I split the project? How do you divide good projects from non-good projects? A series of problems, contradictions, and difficulties will emerge one after another. If your dad wins the project alone, and then talks with Zhang Xiaonan and Fang Zili, there will be no such problems, which is the fundamental difference between cooperation and partnership. ”

Zhan Haitao thought for a while and said to Zhan Tiancheng: "Dad, I think Xiaobai is right. If we had cooperated rather than partnered, we would not be where we are now. ”

Zhan Tiancheng sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, now your father and I are not human inside and out." ”

Zhan Haitao asked Bai Shou, "Xiaobai, have you heard any recent discussions?" ”

"What discussion?" Pretending to be stupid with white hands.

"said that my father partnered with others and defrauded Zhang Xiaonan and Fang Zili of their money."

Whitehand understated: "I've heard of it." ”

Zhan Tiancheng asked, "Xiaobai, do you believe it?" ”

"I don't believe it." White-handed without thinking.

Zhan Tiancheng sighed again, "Alas, now it is more and more evil." I won't hide it from you, Xiaobai, this is a mess for me. ”

Bai Shou comforted: "Lao Zhan, I don't think you care, the rumors stop at the wise." Everyone is busy, and after a while, things will turn the page. ”

Zhan Tiancheng was a little sad.

The white hand cared, "Old Zhan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhan Haitao said: "Xiaobai, I won't tell you. This time there was a lot of discussion, and the situation was a little tense. My dad was afraid that he would not be able to get by, and he was afraid that he would be greatly affected. ”

The white hand snorted, "What can't you get by?" What are the significant implications? ”

"Dad, you tell Xiaobai." Zhan Haitao urged.

Zhan Tiancheng said: "Xiaobai, the Municipal Construction Association will hold a formal general election around New Year's Day. I'm afraid that this matter will affect me and affect me to lose the election, and I won't be able to be the next executive director. ”

The white hand listened, and there was a sudden silence.

"Xiaobai, please help my dad." Zhan Haitao said.

White Hand nodded, thinking for a long time.

"Maybe I can help with that, because it's not in my business. However, I don't know the ins and outs of what happened. ”

Zhan Tiancheng was a little surprised, "Didn't Lao Zhang and Lao Fang tell you?" ”

"No, they want to say, but I'm not interested." Lying with white hands, his face does not change and his heart does not beat.

Xiao Zhan urged Lao Zhan again, "Dad, you tell Xiao Bai in detail about the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Zhan Tiancheng said it again.

Baishou listened carefully and concentrated, Zhan Tiancheng spoke for about eight minutes, and he didn't say a word.

Zhan Tiancheng said, but he didn't open his mouth with his white hands, pretending to be unfathomable.

Zhan Haitao said: "Xiaobai, there are no outsiders here, you have something to say." ”

The white hand still does not speak.

Zhan Tiancheng asked, "Xiaobai, what's wrong with me?" ”

"Yes, quite a few. In other words, it is precisely because of your mistake that everyone's groundless suspicion is aroused, and you are at a loss for words. ”

"Xiaobai, you say." Old Zhan and Xiao Zhan spoke in unison.

"The first suspicion is that the project comes and goes quickly, which is very much like a scam. Then, every participant in the scam is the object of suspicion, and you can't escape Lao Zhan. ”

"The second suspicion is that the project does exist, but it has not been implemented and is not on the agenda. And you are the only one, Lao Zhan, and you were the first to say that this project is about to be implemented. ”

"The third suspicion, that Erguotou, is your friend of Lao Zhan. He set up a deception and managed to escape, his fate unknown. Then you are left Lao Zhan, even if you are a victim, you have to bear the main responsibility. ”

"The fourth suspicion is that the three of you are a partner, and there is not even a verbal agreement, which is a big problem. If you really take the project, I don't know what you will do with it. So people have reason to be suspicious, especially Lao Zhan, saying that you didn't want to win the project at all, or you knew in advance that the project was nothing. ”

"The fifth suspicion is the consequence, a total loss of 150,000 yuan. But your Lao Zhan didn't lose a penny, and 150,000 yuan was all borne by Zhang Xiaonan and Fang Zili. In my opinion, this is neither reasonable, nor reasonable, nor compliant. ”

"Lao Zhan, this last point has the most people talking about it. Because you are friends with Zhang Xiaonan and Fang Zili, as the old saying goes, you share blessings and difficulties. I think, if you don't take a little responsibility, what will your friends think? Will they suspect you? ”

The father and son of the Zhan family were silent.

"Lao Zhan, Xiao Zhan, I said nonsense, just for reference, you don't have to care."

Zhan Tiancheng looked ashamed, waved his hand and said, "Xiaobai, you say, how can I recover the impact?" ”
