Chapter 4 Chapter Four

The report of Wang Jiancheng's inspection abroad was passed before Ma Guoqiang took office, but due to personnel deployment and other reasons, it was not fully arranged, so it was delayed. Ma Guoqiang also understands that many government officials go out in the name of investigation, but in fact they are traveling at public expense.Now that the plan has been passed, he certainly did not raise any objections, but only made a few additions to the cost of the inspection.Those people don't feel sorry for spending the country's money, but he does.Among the more than 100 townships in the city, half of the township schools have school buildings that have problems to varying degrees.The cost of going out for an inspection can almost build a teaching building of an elementary school.

According to the materials he has at hand, the city's abnormal expenditures reached more than 3.2 million last year. What an astonishing figure?In a city with a strong economy, the city's finances are actually in deficit, and the accumulated loans owed to the banks have reached more than 100 million yuan, which does not include the wages and other payments owed to the employees of various units in the city, and the city's annual fiscal revenue is only 4000 yuan. about ten thousand. What he inherited was an empty shelf.No wonder several leaders proposed to auction off the land of the chemical plant. The reason is very simple, because the government has no money.He finally understood why the province sent him to pay close attention to the construction of a clean government.

Wang Jiancheng and his party arrived in Zhuhai by plane, and then entered Macau through customs.Wang Jiancheng was accompanied by Director Xiang and Deputy Director Zhou of the Urban Construction Office, as well as several people from the Municipal Party Committee. Wang Jiancheng asked: "Macao, known as the 'Oriental Monte Carlo', I don't know where to find fun." Said to the director: "Let's go see the Mazu Temple first?" Wang Jiancheng said, "Mazu Temple." Several people hitchhiked to Mazu Temple.The incense of Mazu Temple is very prosperous, and there is an endless stream of worshipers and tourists who come here admiringly.But Wang Jiancheng's thoughts are not here.

After entering the temple, they wandered around and left. After coming out, he said to the director: "Mayor Wang, let's go and see other places? Now that we're out, let's have fun!" Deputy Director Zhou said: "Macao is small, but there are many places to play." Wang Jiancheng asked: "What place to play?" Deputy Director Zhou gave examples one by one: "In addition to this Mazu Temple, there are also Lianfeng Temple, Ruins of St. Paul's and Fortress, Guia Mountain Lighthouse, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Screw Hill Garden, Coloane Hac Sand Beach, Zhuwan Water Sports The center, etc., should be fun places."

Wang Jiancheng was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Zhou, you can be a guide." Deputy Director Zhou said: "I read these materials and came prepared. I don't know where Deputy Mayor Wang wants to go next?" Wang Jiancheng said, "There is one thing you didn't mention." "Where?" "Lisboa Hotel." "Lisboa Hotel?" Of course everyone knows the Lisboa Hotel, which is a casino. Wang Jiancheng said: "Macau's gaming industry is a major feature of Macau. If you don't go to see it, it will be too late to regret it when you return to Changyuan City. We can see and see without gambling."

The Lisboa Hotel is a well-known comprehensive hotel in Southeast Asia. It has been expanded many times, and it is eye-catching with its casino. There are casinos of various grades in it.Many tourists do not hesitate to cross the ocean and come here for a quick gamble.Lisboa, which means the capital of Portugal, is the largest casino among the six major casinos under Macau Entertainment Corporation, also known as the largest casino in East Asia.The main building and the left and right wing buildings are majestic, with various shapes, varied lines, and extraordinary structure. The colors are all yellow and white, giving people a sense of grace, magnificence and ease.The main building looks like a bird cage, and the main building, together with its left wing, looks like a sailing ship.

Lisboa belongs to Macau Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd. It is a comprehensive complex of tourism, entertainment and gambling. It can provide tourists with transportation, sightseeing, guest rooms, shopping, banking and other consumer services and various types of entertainment projects. It is a small but complete social entity.In terms of tourism services, there are dozens of shopping malls, large and small, with a complete range of commodities, and the business of teahouses and restaurants is booming.Entertainment mainly includes game consoles and fitness balls.At the entrance of the hall, there is a small Wake-Up card, which reads: Gambling is not guaranteed to win, light gambling can be enjoyable, spare money to play, and keep entertaining.The casino is the main symbol of Macau as the Monte Carlo of the East.Chinese and Western gambling equipment are all available, open 24 hours.

A group of people entered the lobby of the casino. Deputy Director Zhou exchanged 20,000 yuan in chips, shared some among them, and said, "Let's have fun!" Wang Jiancheng saw that every gambling table was full of people, and piles of chips on the table were winning over and over again, which made him feel itchy and wanted to try his luck. Said to the director: "Come and go too fast, I don't enjoy playing mahjong." Wang Jiancheng said: "You don't understand now, this is the real gambling. Do you play?" "Look first." Said Director Xiang.

"Look." Deputy Director Zhou said. Wang Jiancheng said, "I'm going to try my luck." He sat down at the gaming table, and the service lady walked up enthusiastically: "Sir, do you want some coffee or something else?" "Cafe." The waitress immediately brought coffee and put it at Wang Jiancheng's table, then gave him a big cigar and lit him.With a cigarette in his mouth, he looks like a leading brother in the underworld.The others went elsewhere, Director Xiang didn't dare to walk away, so he stayed by his side. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiancheng had bad luck in gambling. He lost several times in a row as soon as he got started, so he hurriedly handed over the chips in his hand to the director.Wang Jiancheng held his breath, stared at the croupier shaking the dice, pushed all the chips out of his hand, and said, "Big."

Unexpectedly, it was a small car, and within 20 minutes, more than 10,000 yuan was gone. Director Xiang said from the side: "Mayor Wang, let's stop here, there are more fun elsewhere." Wang Jiancheng ignored him, but said: "Exchange 50,000 for me!" Director Xiang didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately cashed in the chips. Next, Wang Jiancheng's auspicious star shines brightly, he wins more than he loses, and when it gets dark, he wins more than 1 million yuan.He was very happy, and said to others: "I have lived such a long life, and I have never been so happy. You see, money comes so easily. If I were more courageous, I would have made a fortune earlier."

At this time, a service lady approached Wang Jiancheng and said, "Congratulations, sir, for getting rich." Wang Jiancheng was very knowledgeable, and stuffed a 1,000 yuan chip into the lady's hand. The lady said again: "Thank you sir, the Lisboa Hotel will give you a high-class room and free dinner for free, please accept it, sir." That night, Wang Jiancheng and Director Xiang lived in the guest room of the Lisboa Hotel, while the others returned to the original hotel. After taking a bath, Wang Jiancheng lay on a comfortable bed in the Lisboa Hotel with a bath towel wrapped around him. He couldn't restrain his joy and said, "It's more than 1 million, and it's so easy to get." Director Xiang didn't know what to say, so he just kept nodding his head and said flatteringly: "Mayor Wang's fortunes come and go, even the God of Wealth will take care of you." Wang Jiancheng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, everyone is free to move around. Just remember to gather in that hotel and be careful." Nodding to the director, "Why don't you let them move freely tomorrow, and I will stay with you." "No, I'm not a child. If you need anything, call me." Wang Jiancheng looked at the crystal chandelier above his head and said sincerely: "Life is a game of gambling. It depends on when you choose to place the right chips. Whether you win or not Losing may be in an instant." Director Xiang understood what Wang Jiancheng said.After so many years, didn't he place the right chips?But then, the gamble in Changyuan City does not know who will be the final winner.If Ma Guoqiang wins, then all of them will fall into it. The next day, Director Xiang and others went to places of interest in Macau.After playing for a day, I was very tired. I went back to the Lisboa Hotel to find the guest room I stayed in yesterday, and knocked on the door. The door opened, but it was not Wang Jiancheng who opened the door.Director Xiang was in a hurry and called Wang Jiancheng's cell phone, but the voice prompt had turned off the phone.He called the security guard and the service lady of the hotel, and asked where the man who stayed here yesterday went, and they all said they didn't know. He cried and called Deputy Director Zhou and others, saying, "Mayor Wang is missing!" In fact, Wang Jiancheng got on the plane from Zhuhai to the provincial capital the next day, but there were two more people beside him.After leaving the director early that morning, Wang Jiancheng came to the noble living room of the Lisboa Casino alone. This time, the God of Wealth did not take care of him. After he lost the more than 1 million yuan, he lost more than 2 million yuan.He wanted to call the director, but the director and the others didn't have that much money, and once the news of his gambling spread, it would leave Ma Guoqiang with a strong handle. He thought for a while, turned off his phone, and asked the manager of the casino to send someone to follow him back to Changyuan City to get the money.The manager quickly called two people, calculated the money in front of him, and said that if he got the money within two days, he only needed to pay 2.83 million. Wang Jiancheng did not dare to raise objections, even though he only lost 2.4 million. Accompanied by those two people, Wang Jiancheng returned to Changyuan City and took a taxi to Yanjiang Hotel.He didn't dare to disturb the people around him, fearing that it would be bad for him if it spread in the future, he wanted to ask his son to send money, but he was reluctant to use the money from his family to pay off his gambling debts. After much deliberation, he thought of Shi Fucai. know what to do. He used the phone in the hotel to dial Shi Fucai's cell phone: "Xiao Shi, I'm Wang Jiancheng." Shi Fucai was overwhelmed by the flattery. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiancheng called him personally, and hurriedly said, "Mayor Wang, have you returned from the inspection in Macau? Did you enjoy your trip?" "I'm at the Yanjiang Hotel." Wang Jiancheng said, "Little Shi, let me tell you something...you don't have anyone around you...well, no one else is good. I...have some trouble..." He said the matter tactfully. Shi Fucai was taken aback: "Just kidding, Mayor Wang." "it is true." Shi Fucai was terrified when he heard that, and said: "Mayor Wang, so much money... how can I get it out at once... Okay... Don't worry, I will definitely get things done, don't worry." Shi Fucai hung up the phone and was stunned for a while. That night, Shi Fucai took a lockbox and took a taxi to the Yanjiang Hotel instead of driving his own car.Knocking on room 405, a strong hand pulled Shi Fucai in, and the door closed immediately.Before he could understand what was going on, someone grabbed his hands and covered his mouth, and the password box fell to the ground.A tall man took out his mobile phone from him, turned it off, and stuffed it into his pocket. Shi Fucai saw that Wang Jiancheng was tied to a wooden chair with a tape on his mouth. The tall man opened the lockbox, roughly counted it, closed it immediately, and walked out of the room with the box. About half an hour later, the other person exited the room. With great effort, Shi Fucai broke free from the rope, untied Wang Jiancheng, and said softly, "These two came from the casino, right?" Wang Jiancheng said: "It's hard to explain in one word, don't talk about it, let's stop here." Shi Fucai understood what Wang Jiancheng meant. Looking at Wang Jiancheng, he felt that he had lost a lot of weight, and said, "Mayor Wang, how are you?" Wang Jiancheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Shi, I will never forget you." Shi Fucai was overjoyed, hearing Wang Jiancheng's tone, he had completely regarded him as one of his own. "I've been living here for the past two days and I'm not going anywhere," Wang Jiancheng said. "Then I'll bring two people to accompany you?" Shi Fucai asked tentatively, "President Wang, do you want to inform him?" Mr. Wang is Wang Ningsheng, who is now the general manager of the real estate company. "Don't tell him yet," Wang Jiancheng said, "Go ahead and pick me up here in two days." "Okay." Shi Fucai left some money on the table and left the Yanjiang Hotel. Two days later, he and Wang Ningsheng secretly picked up Wang Jiancheng from here.Wang Jiancheng used his son's mobile phone to notify several people in the city that he was back.Then, he dialed Director Xiang's cell phone: "Xiao Xiang?" "Yes...is... is it Mayor Wang?" Director Xiang stammered on the phone. "Xiao Xiang, what did you do? I looked for you everywhere in Macau, but I couldn't find you. What did you do?" Wang Jiancheng resumed his previous tone. "We were wrong, Mayor Wang, are you alright?" Director Xiang made a self-criticism, and was pleasantly surprised to finally hear Wang Jiancheng's voice. "Where are you now?" Wang Jiancheng asked. "In Macau, we are looking for you." Director Xiang said, "I have been looking for several days, but there is no news of you, and I thought you..." "My mobile phone was stolen when I was playing cards, and I couldn't find you when I went back. I thought you must have returned to Changyuan City, so I came back. This kind of thing can't happen in the future. It's very easy to tell people in the agency. Not good." Wang Jiancheng said, "Both of you fly back to the provincial capital immediately and arrive at the office tomorrow morning." "Yes, yes..." Director Xiang said yes several times in a row, and he knew what to do. In the name of Wang Ningsheng, Shi Fucai paid for the reception banquet for Wang Jian, and it was held in the most luxurious restaurant in the city, "Peach Blossom Family". Many people came, all leaders of various units in the city. Ma Guoqiang also came, standing with Wang Jiancheng, surrounded by those officials like stars. "Boss Shi, you are so generous!" A voice came, and Shi Fucai turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Standing in front of him was Bai Xue, the proprietress of the Red Mansion Restaurant.With light makeup on, she looked dignified and stylish in a black silk wide-necked dress. Such a woman is the most attractive to men. "Oh, it's you." Shi Fucai smiled, his eyes paused at the neckline of Bai Xue's dress, and he thought to himself: It's really rare for a woman who is almost 40 years old to maintain such a figure and skin. "President Shi is a man of the hour in our city!" Bai Xue said with a smile, "It's been published in the newspapers, ha ha!" Shi Fucai also laughed twice, seeing many people beside him greet Bai Xue, and thought: This woman's wrists are not softer than mine. He said in a low voice: "Boss Bai is the real man of the hour in our Changyuan, and women don't give way to men!" Accompanied by several people, Ma Guoqiang walked towards them.Shi Fucai hurriedly reached out his hand to hold Ma Guoqiang's hand, and called out, "Mayor Ma!" Ma Guoqiang nodded and said, "You are a role model for entrepreneurs in the city. If they can all be like you, it will be much easier to solve the problem of reemployment for laid-off workers!" Shi Fucai looked a little shy and said, "Mayor Ma, I just want to do my best." According to his own plan, he introduced Li Fen to Ma Guoqiang through Tong Yanzhen. He did not expect that after the two met, they got along very well and soon became good friends. During his contact with Tong Yanzhen, he found that this woman was quite vigilant, so he postponed his next plan and waited for a favorable opportunity. Ma Guoqiang held Shi Fucai and shook it heavily a few times.He saw Bai Xue beside Shi Fucai, both of them seemed to be taken aback for a moment, they reached out their hands at the same time, shook hands, and said politely: "Hello!" Bai Xue's face twitched slightly. Ma Guoqiang looked at Shi Fucai who was standing beside Bai Xue, said, "Let's chat slowly", and walked away. Shi Fucai had noticed all this. After Ma Guoqiang left, he asked Bai Xue: "Do you know Mayor Ma?" Bai Xue smiled, and said: "I met once, and it was such an occasion! Mayor Ma has a good memory, and I will remember it once I met him." She turned to look at Ma Guoqiang's back, and said sorry to Shi Fucai, Just walked aside. Shi Fucai looked at Bai Xue who was chatting and laughing among the men, he was completely different from the stiff one just now.After the banquet started, he saw Ma Guoqiang looking at Bai Xue from time to time, thinking: Their relationship should not be that simple. The land covering an area of ​​more than 40,000 square meters in the municipal chemical factory was auctioned as scheduled. The starting price was 60 million. More than 20 real estate development companies from inside and outside the province participated in the auction, and Wang Ningsheng's company was among them. Taking advantage of his own advantages, Wang Ningsheng made an appointment with several other real estate development companies in the province for joint development.The bosses of those companies also knew the influence of Young Master Wang in Changyuan City, so they had to agree. The result of the auction was bought by a real estate development company outside the province at a price of 1.2 billion.After Wang Ningsheng got the news, he couldn't help being shocked.Out of nowhere, a dark horse came out and snatched all the fat they got.Wang Ningsheng couldn't sit still, and immediately asked the representative of the company to negotiate, and the result satisfied him. In Changyuan City, no one dared not give Young Master Wang face. After the news that the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided to build a commercial building in the central area next to the municipal chemical plant was announced, the bidding date was set in two months. The construction project of the commercial building has added a new plan on the original basis, with a total investment of 150 million yuan, and the number of floors has reached 23 floors. So far the tallest building in Changyuan City. The construction companies stepped up their activities. Two months later, the bidding meeting was held as scheduled, and more than 50 strong construction engineering companies participated in the bidding. Bidders put their bids and models of previous large-scale projects in the hall for the judges to evaluate.The hall was bustling with people, and the heads of various companies were running around, trying to increase the bidding winning coefficient through various channels. Shi Fucai's Changsheng Company is also among them. In the lounge, Ma Guoqiang said to Wang Jiancheng: "The commercial building is a landmark building in the city. You are responsible for this matter, and you must check it in each unit!" "Don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter to the end." Wang Jiancheng said with a smile: "The Changsheng Group Company in our city has also come. I heard that it is a good private enterprise, and its strength is constantly strengthening. Changyuan City's economy Development is inseparable from these private enterprises. They have made great contributions to Changyuan's urban construction and promoted the development of the city's economy. We should give more support to such companies and let them play a greater role in Changyuan's urban construction. " Ma Guoqiang said: "The construction companies in Changyuan City have contributed to the urban construction of Changyuan City, and Changsheng is definitely not alone." Wang Jiancheng said: "I read Changsheng's bid, and it was close to our original plan. I thought it was very good. Enterprises want to occupy the market and survive. Mayor Ma has prejudice against Changsheng?" Ma Guoqiang said: "What prejudices do you have? Our goal is to improve the urban construction of Changyuan City. However, I think Shi Fucai, the general manager of Changsheng Company, is not very pragmatic. You have to be careful not to delay the construction of the commercial building. construction." Wang Jiancheng said: "I heard that your lover works as an accountant there. It is not easy for a laid-off worker to find a suitable job!" Ma Guoqiang said: "Because of this, I have to avoid suspicion. The work of this public bidding depends entirely on you." Wang Jiancheng said: "I have met Shi Fucai several times. He is a pretty good person. He has worked in engineering for so many years, has experience, and the company has strength. If another company has the same strength as him, I would rather choose him. If there are more companies like his in our city, you won't have to worry about the reemployment of those laid-off workers." Ma Guoqiang nodded slightly, feeling that Wang Jiancheng's words made some sense, and said: "For local enterprises, if possible, support them as much as possible, but the principles still have to be talked about." Ma Guoqiang sent someone to investigate Shi Fucai, and he knew that Shi Fucai had a lot of contacts in Changyuan City, and he got very close to Wang Ningsheng during this time.Although this person has no background, he is very scheming.He was able to climb up to so many leaders in the market in a short period of time, and his means were very good.Tong Yanzhen went to work with him through a labor service company, was it not arranged by him?For such a person, it is better to be more defensive. Wang Jiancheng said: "Don't worry, I am very supportive of the city's decision. For the construction of a clean government, principles must be put first. If he trusts people behind his back, I will first disqualify him from bidding." .” Ma Guoqiang said: "What I am worried about is the quality of the project. Now there is a folk song in Changyuan that says, Changyuan Changyuan, there are more corrupt officials than ants. It is difficult to do things without money. When you enter the door, see who has the most gifts, who builds high-rise buildings, and whoever builds the tofu. It costs a lot of money to become scum.” Wang Jiancheng said: "It was all made up by some unscrupulous people." Ma Guoqiang smiled, "Old Wang, you are wrong to say that. Without those high-ranking unruly officials, how could there be any unruly people?" Wang Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile, "I never thought Mayor Ma would be interested in such absurd words." Ma Guoqiang said earnestly: "I'm not interested. I think those ballads have a certain truth. They represent the voice of the common people, and remind us all the time that we must be worthy of the important tasks entrusted to us by the party and the people, and we must not take advantage of the power given to us by the people." for their own personal gain." Wang Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Mayor Ma, I think what you said is very reasonable. The bidding is fair and just, and no one will complain. Whether it is good in strength or good in relationship, it has to be decided by the evaluation committee. It is not anyone. It's up to you." Ma Guoqiang looked at his watch and said, "It's time, let's start." He, Wang Jiancheng and the jury members of the municipal party committee and municipal government went to the rostrum of the hall and sat down. Ma Guoqiang read out the bidding rules and the construction requirements of the commercial building decided by the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and repeatedly emphasized the transparency of the bidding work, saying that no matter where the company is, no matter how good it is, it must compete based on strength.The leaders of the construction companies in the audience were nervously preparing, thinking about how to speak to win over the members of the jury. After preliminary review, more than 20 construction companies from inside and outside the province were shortlisted, including Shi Fucai's Changsheng Group Company and Feng Desheng's Fengda Construction Company.Feng Desheng watched Shi Fucai's company grow bigger and bigger, couldn't sit still, so he made up his mind to spend money to make a way out, and got the qualification for being selected. Next, Director Xiang from the Urban Construction Office briefly introduced the qualifications of the selected companies.Wang Jiancheng was listening and felt that several large companies inside and outside the province had considerable strength, which might be detrimental to Changsheng Company.He is the overall person in charge of this bidding work, and Director Xiang, the main person in charge of the judging committee, is also one of his people. Although he is certain that Changsheng Company will win, accidents cannot be ruled out.What's more, there is Ma Guoqiang's sharp eyes staring at him behind him, making him feel uncomfortable. When the meeting came to a certain time, Wang Jiancheng called Shi Fucai's mobile phone number in the lounge under the pretext of going to the bathroom. As soon as the other party's mobile phone was connected, he turned off the phone. Shi Fucai, who was sitting in the bidding hall, saw that the mobile phone number belonged to Wang Jiancheng, so he also left the venue and found a secluded place to make a call. Wang Jiancheng came to the bathroom, closed the door, and just saw Shi Fucai's call, he pressed the answer button and said, "Xiao Shi, are you sure you will get the construction project? It seems that there are several construction engineering companies that are much stronger than your company." .” Shi Fucai said: "Mayor Wang, after the public bidding, isn't there still a discussion process? At the critical moment, it depends on you to give me a way out. If you don't help me, no one will help me." When he heard Director Xiang's introduction to other companies just now, he was at a loss in his mind. He knew his company very well. It seemed to be very famous, but it didn't have much technical strength.It is not a problem to build a building with less than 10 floors, but he has no idea about a large building like a commercial building.Take the industrial building he is building now as an example, a lot of machinery and technical personnel have been borrowed from others. Wang Jiancheng said: "You have to be mentally prepared. The outcome of the bidding is unpredictable." Shi Fucai was in a hurry and said, "Mayor Wang, Changsheng Company's technical strength is first-class in the city, and it should be sure of winning. Also, I can minimize the construction funds." Wang Jiancheng said: "It's not that simple. Now the city attaches great importance to this matter, and the outside world is also watching closely. It's not easy to handle." When Shi Fucai heard this, he became angry: "Old fox, when you asked me to save you with more than 2 million yuan, I didn't say it was difficult, but at this time, I said something like this."He asked patiently, "Is there really no other way?" Wang Jiancheng said: "Have you heard what Mayor Ma said? It is obviously biased. His words will affect the decision of which company the judges choose to undertake the construction. The last words of Mayor Ma are the standard. As the general manager, I have Always look at other people's faces!" "Is there really no hope for us?" In all fairness, in terms of aptitude and strength, he really has no way to compete with those powerful companies, but he is not reconciled, having spent so much money and thought, In the end, it was still empty. "There is still hope." Wang Jiancheng said, "Why don't you ask your financial accountant to blow the wind by your pillow? At the critical moment, it still depends on what Mayor Ma has to say." "What hope is there? Didn't it mean that as soon as the bidding meeting starts today, a discussion meeting will be held to pass it?" Shi Fucai was so anxious that he was at a loss. Wang Jiancheng said: "I just talked to Director Xiang, and I hope there is still some. Xiao Shi, hold your breath and deal with it positively. I think your company's quotation in the bidding document is too low, which is not good, and Mayor Ma will become suspicious. , I’m afraid you will engage in shabby projects.” Shi Fucai asked: "Mayor Wang, what should we do now?" Wang Jiancheng said: "That's it. When your company makes supplements, just make corrections." He turned off his mobile phone and went back to the rostrum in the lobby to sit down, glanced at the director, and said nothing.A representative of a company in the audience is making supplementary explanations. The bidding went on for a whole day, and finally the judges voted by secret ballot. As a result, no company got more than half of the votes, so the winning bidder has not been decided for the time being. Wang Jiancheng is very satisfied with the result. Wang Jiancheng made a concluding speech at the end, saying: "This bidding meeting is fair and just. Each company has its own strengths. I hope that there will be a strong company to undertake the construction of the commercial building, but the results reported by the jury are unexpected. , This shows that there is a big gap, and each company has to work hard to do a better job, so that the judges agree that your architectural plan is the best and the best..." After the announcement of the bidding results, the company representatives in the hall discussed. Wang Jiancheng walked out of the hall with the judges, when his cell phone rang, and he saw that it was Shi Fucai calling. He greeted the people next to him, got into the car outside the hall, answered Shi Fucai's call, and said, "Xiao Shi, The result is like this, there is still hope for Changsheng Company.” Shi Fucai said: "Mayor Wang, come here, I'll wait for you at the Red Mansion Restaurant." Wang Jiancheng said, "What's the matter?" Shi Fucai said: "Although Changsheng Company did not win the bid, Mayor Wang, I have to thank you." Wang Jiancheng said: "Your company didn't win the bid, what else do you thank me for?" Shi Fucai said: "It's already pretty good. Without you, Mayor Wang, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be this result." Wang Jiancheng drove to the Red Mansion Restaurant, saw Director Xiang's car following behind, and knew that Shi Fucai had also asked him out.The two got out of the car, went up to the second floor together, and entered the private room that Shi Fucai had already reserved, and saw that Shi Fucai and Liu Shi'an were already there, as well as Zhu Xiaolin, director of the municipal government office, and Xu Linyang, director of the finance bureau.Several people shook hands with each other, exchanged greetings, and the banquet began. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Shi Fucai's face turned red. He used the wine to boast about Wang Jiancheng's ability, saying: "In Changyuan City, Mayor Wang is a piece of sky. If you tell it to rain, it will rain. If you tell it to blow, it will blow, and if you stomp your feet, Changyuan City will shake three times." Wang Jiancheng said: "Little Shi, after drinking two glasses of wine, your mouth will no longer open. I'm not Sun Wukong, how can I have such great magic power? Sun Wukong still has a magic spell on his head, and he can't turn over the Tathagata Buddha even if he somersaults." palm." Shi Fucai looked at the few people beside him, and said, "Is there any Tathagata Buddha in Changyuan City who can control your Mayor Wang?" Wang Jiancheng said: "Isn't there a secretary and a mayor above me? Besides, there are the broad masses of the people." Shi Fucai said: "Who in Changyuan City doesn't know that the secretary is a piece of wood? I don't think the newcomer Ma Guoqiang will be able to build a clean government for long. What's more, with the courage of your mayor Wang, even if there is a Tathagata Buddha, Monkey King Not showing power? Does the magic weapon have no power?" Hearing this, Wang Jiancheng was very helpful. He laughed and said, "Talk about wine, although it's not practical, but it's fun to listen to." At this time Shi Fucai took out a painting of Li Fen, which he had forced to come after introducing Li Fen to Ma Guoqiang, and said, "I specially asked Artist Li to write this calligraphy for you." When Wang Jiancheng heard that it was written by Li Fen, he remembered that he had sent people to ask for it but failed to get it. He felt bad, and said, "I don't have the taste, you can keep it for yourself." Shi Fucai said, "You read the content before we talk." Wang Jiancheng read the content of the words and said: "The content is good, but it's a bit crazy to hang it in the room for others to watch." Shi Fucai smiled and said: "Qi Chong Xiaohan, this is your spirit, your courage, what's so arrogant? It's perfect." Wang Jiancheng regained his energy and said, "That's right, I will accept this calligraphy." Shi Fucai raised his glass again and said, "Cheers to 'Qi Chong Xiao Han'." Wang Jiancheng laughed again, raised his glass and drank it down. Seeing this, Liu Shi'an frowned slightly.He is now by Ma Guoqiang's side almost every day, and he has also been affected invisibly.I don't know what kind of psychology it is, but I feel a little disgusted with the hypocritical talk and flattery among those in the officialdom.
