28: Chapter 28: The Wicked Complain First!
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
Hardly a few steps out the door, Wang Kun narrowed his eyes and turned around in fury, glaring at Wu Jie.
Wu Jie laughed and said, “What can I do?
President Tang pays my salary, of course, I’m going to fulfill my duties loyally!”
“Ha!
What a way to fulfill your duties loyally!”
Wang Kun took out a pack of Soft Zhonghua, lit one, and smoked it.
He blew a ring of smoke and scolded Wu Jie:
“Don’t forget, you are just a liaison for Tang’s.
You are not Tang Long, and definitely not Tang Xiao!”
“What right do you have to talk back?
What authority do you have to be so directive?”
“Who is qualified to bid and who gets the contract is not your decision to make!”
Wu Jie rely smiled faintly.
“Go on, keep talking.
My daily work recordings are reported to the real estate departnt, and President Tang takes this project very seriously.
She will listen to the recordings to understand the project’s progress!”
“You!!”
Wang Kun was so angry that his face turned green.
“Playing tricks with , huh?
Alright then, I’m ga!”
When he reached the conference room door, Wang Kun shouted loudly, “This eting is adjourned for today.
All manufacturers are to resubmit their information before next Monday!”
With a sidelong glare at Wu Jie, Wang Kun stord off.
Wu Jie snorted with a cold laugh and leisurely went upstairs.
But soon, a crowd gathered around Wang Kun’s Range Rover.
So were there to invite for a al; others were there for a round of golf—all kinds of reasons.
If the bidding qualification review were to be strict, many enterprises would have no chance of being shortlisted, let alone win the bid.
Knock, knock, knock!
Wu Jie had just sent a ssage to Tang Xiao when soone knocked on the door.
“Co in!”
The door opened, and to Wu Jie’s surprise, it was Zhu Yan, the boss of Ansheng Cent.
Zhu Yan was a sowhat plump middle-aged man with a bald head, a sycophantic smile, and a bowing and scraping deanor.
As soon as he entered, he placed two packs of cigarettes on the table.
“Engineer Wu, I am really sorry, one of the clerks made a mistake with the docunts, causing you the trouble of pointing it out.
I apologize for that!”
Zhu Yan, with a smile plastered on his face, respectfully handed over two brochures, one of which had a thick envelope tucked inside.
“Engineer Wu, this is our company’s brochure for your consideration!”
Zhu Yan passed one brochure, while he quickly placed the other with the envelope into the filing cabinet.
He was adept at it, clearly an old hand at this.
Wu Jie pretended not to see and flipped through the brochure casually.
“Ansheng Cent, a factory with over twenty years of history, definitely reliable in quality, it’s just the corporate credit…”
“We had to shut down for rectification during the environntal crackdown.
I invested a huge amount of money in technological upgrades, which caused a breakdown in the financial chain.
That’s why our credit rating isn’t up to standard.
The staff can be ignorant at tis, so…
I hope you can understand, Engineer Wu!”
Zhu Yan’s face was all smiles, extrely respectful in his deanor.
Wu Jie nodded slightly, “For such a large project, the amount of cent needed is substantial, and the bidding process will be very strict, but however strict it is, it is still a matter of following the rules.
You should understand what I an, right?”
“Understood!
Of course, I understand!” Zhu Yan rose to his feet imdiately, “Then I’ll thank Engineer Wu.
Go on with your work, I’ll contact you again in the evening.”
In the evening?
Wouldn’t that be a whole package of dining and entertainnt?
No way!
I have principles; how could I be so corrupt?
“We’ll see about that!” Wu Jie replied with a smile.
Zhu Yan left with a nod and a bow, showing he was very considerate by closing the door behind him.
As soon as the door closed, Wu Jie opened the drawer, revealing the envelope, and sure enough, it was a stack of red banknotes.
Ding!
The phone rang, Tang Xiao sent a ssage.
“Wang Kun abuses his power for personal gain, that’s within my expectations, but as long as the project quality, schedule, and budget are all within reasonable limits, his greed isn’t too ugly, the board would know, yet they wouldn’t do much about him.”
Wu Jie chuckled, pulled the red banknotes out of the envelope, added two packs of cigarettes, snapped a photo, and sent it over.
“So does this count as abusing power for personal gain?”
Soon, Tang Xiao replied, “Not bad!
I didn’t expect you to be so capable, you’ve received a red packet so soon, and it’s not a small amount either, that’s about a month’s salary for you, right?”
Wu Jie replied with a sheepish grin, “So what do you think I should do, accept it?
Or accept it?”
Tang Xiao replied with a voice ssage, “Isn’t that obvious?
Count exactly how much there is, I’ll keep my word, and double it for you!”
Wu Jie, “Forget it, this is just the beginning, there will definitely be more to co.”
“Alright then, I really want to see how capable you are, but…
your luck seems to be running out, Wang Kun gave a call, we’ll talk more later!”
Wu Jie put down his phone, snorted and chuckled coldly.
“That son of a bitch Wang Kun, he definitely wants to transfer back!”
Knock knock knock.
The door was knocked on again.
“Co in!”
The door opened, and a big, fat man in a suit ca in.
“Engineer Wu, hello, I’m Su from Baisheng Construction Steel Material!”
Su?
That’s a hefty figure indeed!
Almost two hundred pounds, the big fat man entered with a smile like a Maitreya Buddha.
“Mr.
Su, ha, please take a seat!”
“I didn’t bring any docunts this ti, but I did bring a can of good tea leaves from my hotown, I’d like Engineer Wu to taste it, and if you think it tastes good, I’ll bring you more next ti!”
While speaking, a tea can was passed over.
Wu Jie opened the box and instantly raised his eyebrows.
A tea leaf box stuffed with shiny banknotes, truly an excellent local product!
“Uh…
this tea isn’t bad!”
He tossed the tea box into the drawer, Wu Jie chuckled, “Actually, your company’s problem isn’t that big, it’s just that the bidding requirents are too high regarding the registered capital, but you can increase your registered capital, or wait for the bidding conditions to change!”
“Thanks for the tip, Engineer Wu!
Are you free tonight?
I know a private restaurant that’s pretty good…”
…
Receiving and sending off nurous visitors.
By the ti Wu Jie finished, the drawer was filled with all sorts of ‘docunts and specialty products’.
After a while, Tang Xiao called directly.
“Calling instead of texting, looks like it’s bad news!” Wu Jie teased as soon as he picked up the phone.
Tang Xiao laughed, “Wang Kun complained to , saying you do whatever you want in the project departnt, your attitude is arrogant, and it’s impossible to work with you, which is very bad for work progression, he wants to transfer you back!”
Wu Jie snorted, “Damn it!
I’m at their beck and call without a single complaint, and that’s called doing whatever I want?
I just pointed out that many manufacturers are cheating, and that’s considered arrogant?”
Tang Xiao said, “Blocking soone’s way is like killing their parents.
You prevented him from controlling everything, of course he’d badmouth you.”
Wu Jie sneered and shook his head, “So what’s the group planning to do?”
“I’m the kind of person who doesn’t respond well to being forced!
He asked to transfer you back, but I won’t, on the contrary, I’ve already ordered the Real Estate Division to appoint you as the deputy manager of the project, specifically responsible for quality supervision…”
Before Tang Xiao could finish speaking, bam, the office door was kicked open by Wu Jie.
“Wu Jie!
You’ve got so nerve, daring to take bribes!
Soone, search this place!!”
