Chapter 273 Making a fuss about engineering

(This chapter is considered the third update yesterday. I didn’t expect it to be so late in one night!)

The bidding results of Luzhuang City quickly reached Linjiang. As Zhang Hui, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government and director of the Beijing Office who was named by Governor Zhang Jinchi to do this, he hurried to Zhang Jinchi's office to report the news to Zhang Jinchi as soon as he got the news.

After listening to Zhang Hui's report, Zhang Jinchi looked up at Zhang Hui meaningfully and asked, "Are you saying that in this bidding event, Song Ming, who has always regarded himself very highly, actually did things in accordance with the rules and regulations proposed by Chen Ping. He did not seek connections and went through the back door, but he just obtained this project based on the strength of the company?"

Zhang Hui nodded and said, "Yes, Governor Zhang, I think the reason for this situation is that someone communicated with Governor Song in advance, and Governor Song did not want to have any conflicts with the Xiao family, so he reminded Song Ming of something, so in this bidding, Song Ming listened so obediently."

Zhang Jinchi said with an oh, "So that's the case. Of course, this statement is reasonable and makes sense."

Although Zhang Jinchi's tone was very calm and there was no dissatisfaction in his words, when Zhang Hui heard Zhang Jinchi's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and felt a sense of calmness before the storm.

Sure enough, Zhang Jinchi then looked down and asked Zhang Hui in a stern tone: "Secretary General Zhang, then I want to ask you, do you just want to escape responsibility through this explanation? Or have you never thought that this would happen before? Then isn't your approach perfunctory?"

Zhang Jinchi's words were so scared that Zhang Hui shivered. He hurriedly explained: "Governor Zhang, I have absolutely no intention of perfunctory you. You are my leader. The task you assigned me is a military order. I must complete it even if I go to the mountain of swords and go to the sea of ​​fire!"

Zhang Jinchi waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear these promises that make people calluse me. I just want to speak with facts."

"Director Zhang, you said that as long as Song Ming participates in the bidding for this project, you can provoke conflicts between the Song family against Chen Ping and even the Xiao family. But now the result is that the Song family takes the initiative to make a step back. No matter what the reason is, it is Director Zhang's mistake, right?" Zhang Jinchi asked.

"Governor Zhang is not like this," Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "Actually... this situation is also in my original plan."

This answer made Zhang Jinchi meaningfully. He looked up at Zhang Hui and said, "I hope this is not a lie that you made up temporarily by Director Zhang, because deception is more shameful than mistakes."

"Of course I won't lie to you, Governor Zhang!" Zhang Hui promised, "Because I have carefully studied Chen Ping's past and found that he is a very combative official. Such officials usually cannot sit idly by and wait for emergencies. So when I asked the Song family to participate in this project, I thought that he might communicate with the Song family and resolve this crisis."

"The analysis was very good and very well-established, but unfortunately I don't want to listen to your analysis. I just want to know your next countermeasures." Zhang Jinchi said.

Zhang Hui said: "Governor Zhang, I think we should focus on the construction of the project next."

Zhang Jinchi said: "Tell me carefully."

"It's like this. I have learned about Song Ming's Jiangnan Engineering Construction Company through channels before and knows some of its construction projects," said Zhang Hui. "In fact, Song Ming's company seems to be very strong, but in fact it is composed of many contractors from all over the world. If the company's capabilities alone are based on its ability, it is not enough to fully undertake this huge project worth tens of billions."

"After saying so much, what do you want to say?" Zhang Jinchi asked Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui replied: "Governor Zhang, what I mean is that after receiving this project, Song Ming will definitely divide the project into many small projects and then hand it over to the contractor below to do it."

"I think Governor Zhang, you should also know that the quality of contractors like this is uneven. What if there is a contractor in it that caused a construction site accident due to cutting corners or other reasons? In this matter, I think it is necessary to bear certain responsibilities, right?" Zhang Hui said.

Having said that, Zhang Jinchi couldn't understand. Zhang Hui's meaning was nothing more than trying to bribe a contractor under Song Ming, or simply put an unresponsible contractor in the construction of the project. Then, if there is no problem during the construction process, they will be able to make a fuss about this matter.

However, what Zhang Hui didn't know was that Zhang Jinchi actually understood what Zhang Hui had plans from the beginning, but he didn't plan to say it so early. He felt that forcing Zhang Hui to say it with such a harsh attitude would make him more attentive and responsible in order to please him.

Then Zhang Jinchi smiled and nodded and said, "It's true. Since it is a project that the central government attaches importance to, everything should be done according to strict standards. How can any contractor be arranged to do it casually? This is really unreasonable."

Zhang Jinchi said this, and then asked Zhang Hui: "I wonder if you have already contacted you, Director Zhang?"

Zhang Hui replied: "Yes, Governor Zhang, I know that Song Ming Company does have a few greedy contractors under their command. They cut corners as much as possible no matter what project they do. At most one-fifth of the tofu project can be used on the project. It is considered that they have a conscience. Because of this, they have had problems on several construction sites, but because Song Ming has a strong relationship, there has not been much trouble until now."

After listening to Zhang Hui's answer, Zhang Jinchi deliberately took a breath and said, "There is such a shocking thing? Director Zhang, you must keep an eye on these foremen. This is a project that the central government attaches importance to. You can't let them do this so casually. If something happens, you must report to me as soon as possible. Do you know?"

If Zhang Hui didn't understand what Zhang Jinchi said, then he would have been in vain for so many years in the officialdom.

Obviously, Zhang Jinchi said this just because he hoped that Zhang Hui could let all these foremen participate in the project, and he must ensure that there was a problem with the project, and then report to him as soon as possible, so that he could make a big fuss about this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hui said to Zhang Jinchi: "Please rest assured that Governor Zhang, I will do my best to complete all the tasks assigned by Governor Zhang!"

After receiving Zhang Hui's answer, Zhang Jinchi showed a satisfied smile.
