27: Chapter 27: Forceful Retort!
Wu Jie stood up, and Wang Kun’s smile beca even more brilliant.
“Oh!
Look at my mory, I actually forgot that Tanglong Industrial Group also has a representative here!”
“Ladies and gentlen, please quiet down!
This is Tang’s representative, Engineer Wu Jie!”
“I see Engineer Wu seems to want to say a few words, so co on, let’s welco him with a round of applause!”
Wang Kun led the clapping, and the eting room imdiately burst into applause.
But it was clear to everyone that Wang Kun’s enthusiasm was feigned.
However, Wu Jie didn’t care.
“You want to do subcontracting and material supply to make money, and our two companies invest in developnt, of course, to make money, but making money is not a reason to do shoddy work!”
“Mr.
Wang said earlier that he would strictly control quality, so now I’d like to ask, how companies that have been criticized and punished by the governnt for bidding fraud, shoddy construction, and supplying inferior goods can have the nerve to co here?”
“Who gave you the courage?
Liang Jingru?
If you want to muddle through and take shortcuts, to beco subcontractors and suppliers for this project, you’ll have to ask for my permission first!”
Bang!
Wu Jie slamd a stack of files onto the table with force.
The sound was loud and clear, deafening.
Suddenly, the complexions of a dozen people changed, and they all looked towards Wang Kun.
And the entire eting room imdiately beca noisy and chaotic.
“Engineer Wu, aren’t you being a bit heavy-handed?
Everyone here is a high-quality enterprise; there can’t be any problems!”
“We’re all conscientious businesses, well-known in the industry, not so small workshop or unit.”
“What do you an by that, Engineer Wu?
Isn’t Mr.
Wang the one who makes the decisions for this project?”
“Exactly!
You’re just a technical liaison for Tang’s, what gives you the right to make decisions?”
“What does ‘muddle through’ an?
What’s ‘taking shortcuts’?
Mr.
Wang, won’t you say sothing?”
…
The eting room was as lively as a marketplace.
Wu Jie showed no signs of panic; on the contrary, he appeared poised and started to sketch on a piece of paper with a pen.
Ding!
[System: Acquired Wang Kun’s hatred 6000]
Ding!
[System: Acquired Luo Hao’s hatred 2000]
Ding!
[System: Acquired Fan Bing’s hatred 3000]
…
Startling the grass to scare the snake!
The words Wu Jie had just said weren’t directed at anyone in particular.
Only those with a guilty conscience would feel hatred towards Wu Jie.
Because if Wu Jie really ‘exercised strict control,’ they would surely have no play, no business.
Such a probe was truly exhilarating!
Not only did it weed out the unqualified vendors, but it also earned a hefty batch of energy points in the process.
Why not do it?
However…
Amid the many questioning voices, Wang Kun’s expression changed unpredictably, and he was almost on the verge of exploding.
“What on earth do you want to do??”
Wang Kun lost his temper, taking a quick step forward, and glared at Wu Jie with his back to the crowd.
With a forced smile, Wu Jie said, “Engineering quality is the lifeline!
We must strictly control and carefully screen!
Isn’t that what you said earlier?
If you’ve forgotten, no worries, I’ve been recording on my phone all along!”
As he spoke, Wu Jie took out his phone, which was in recording mode.
Suddenly!
Wang Kun was so furious he almost leapt up and smashed Wu Jie’s cell phone to smithereens.
“Good!
Well done!”
Wang Kun pointed at Wu Jie, grinding his teeth, “Playing gas with , huh?
Fine!”
Turning around, Wang Kun put on a smile, “Everyone, please stay calm!!”
“Engineer Wu didn’t say anything wrong!
As engineers, we naturally focus on quality and safety.
If we all follow the rules and use the proper procedures, there won’t be any cutting corners or engaging in shady practices!”
Once Wang Kun said this, the venue imdiately fell silent.
After all, no one dared to admit publicly that they were ‘counterfeit and shoddy’.
“Is that so?”
Wu Jie suddenly spoke up, pointing at a stack of docunts on the table: “Here is so of the competitive bidding qualification material from the vendors.
I may have limited knowledge, but I’ve still found quite a few forgeries!”
“For instance, Mr.
Zhu from Ansheng Cent, you provided a scanned copy of a 3A enterprise credit certificate, but when you were photoshopping it, could you at least erase the underlying text properly?
It’s visible to the naked eye under the light that it belongs to soone else.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan from Ansheng Cent imdiately blushed with embarrassnt, wishing he could crawl into a hole.
“Shall we pass it around for everyone to have a look?
Or, you could bring out the original, and I will believe it’s genuine!”
“I…”
Zhu Yan tried to defend himself, “It must have been a clerical error, I didn’t know about this!”
Wu Jie laughed, “Right, it must have been temporary workers!”
Picking up another scanned docunt, Wu Jie said with a laugh, “Mr.
Su from Baisheng Construction Steel, did your clerks make a mistake, too?
Why does the registered capital on the industrial and comrcial website show that your company has only 5 million, yet on this scanned copy, it’s recorded as 30 million?”
“President Du from Quanant Protective, it’s not hard to check the list of enterprises with Grade A security qualifications.
Do we need to check on the spot whether your enterprise has any qualifications or not?”
“Mr.
Shi from Hongyun Cable, I really admire your courage.
Your company’s business license has been revoked, and yet you dared to bid.
Impressive!”
“Mr.
Fan from Bute Elevators, the authorization docunts you received from several international elevator manufacturers seem to have expired a long ti ago, right?
I found online that just last year, your distributor rights were revoked due to overdue paynts.
What’s going on with that?”
“Mr.
Luo from Changsen Landscaping, could you explain why the individual amounts in the performance contract, when added up, are so far from the total bid price?
Are you saying you can’t even do simple math when working on a project?
Did your accountant not finish elentary school and doesn’t know how to add and subtract?”
…
With each ntion of a vendor, Wu Jie collected two bursts of energy points.
One was from the disdain of the company representatives, and the other naturally ca from Wang Kun.
That these vendors had infiltrated the process wasn’t a guess—it was certain they had given Wang Kun generous gifts, with promises of kickbacks after winning the bids.
In any case, without vested interests, they wouldn’t have such animosity towards Wu Jie.
“Enough!!”
Finally, Wang Kun could bear it no longer.
Wu Jie chuckled, “What’s wrong, Mr.
Wang?
Are you feeling a deep loathing towards these problematic vendors?”
“I…”
Wang Lun glanced at the many nad company presidents, bit his teeth hard, and argued forcefully, “This is nothing but a qualification screening process.
Owing to the rush, not all companies were sufficiently prepared, so so mistakes are inevitable!”
“I trust that all the enterprises present will submit materials that comply with the regulations before the deadline!”
Wu Jie nodded and said, “I believe so too.
So please bring the originals next ti.
Copies and scanned docunts can indeed be easily mistaken.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Kun nearly choked with rage.
Contracts, business licenses, certificates of honor, and so on…scanned copies are essentially just printed images, and they are the easiest to fake.
But if you have to bring the original items, how could you possibly forge those?
Would you have to rush to find soone to forge stamps, create fake certificates?
That wouldn’t work either!
In this age of internet, one search will reveal everything.
In an instant!
Wu Jie wildly harvested countless energy points, showing just how many people loathed him to the core.
And if looks could kill, Wu Jie would surely be dead and dismbered by now.
“We will take a break!” Wang Kun shouted, turning his head to glare at Wu Jie.
“Let’s step outside and have a chat!”
