Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

After the bidding announcement was released on Chuxi TV Station and "Chuxi Daily", the construction of the building officially started.According to the opinion of Deputy Secretary Cai Peng, two facades should be found in the place facing the street to be the office of the engineering headquarters.Chen Mo walked around the street, and there were bustling facade houses near the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, but they were all rented by someone, and the business was very good, so they couldn't get out.In the end, I found two rooms, but they were the front rooms of the CPPCC. A few years ago, when the higher authorities encouraged organizations to set up entities, the NPC and the CPPCC moved quickly. A building was built outside the municipal party committee compound and the municipal party committee guest house. It is a hotel. The hotel of the National People's Congress is called the House of Representatives, and the hotel of the CPPCC is called the House of the CPPCC.The first floors of these two homes are front rooms, the annual rent is a lot of money, and the annual income of the hotel is also quite good, so Renzai and the Political Consultative Conference have become the two with the best welfare in the municipal government. .The two facades that Chen Mo had his eyes on were adjacent to the guest house of the municipal party committee that was about to be demolished. Chen Mo came back and reported to Cai Peng.

After the headquarters was listed, Chen Mo's work in the Municipal Party Committee was basically taken over by Peng Ligong. This made Peng Ligong very happy, as if he had picked up a lot of bargains out of thin air. He was also grateful to Chen Mo. When they met, they shook hands and It was a shoulder pat, and they made out a lot.The city recruited two young people from the Construction Bureau and the Judiciary Bureau to be Chen Mo's helpers, to receive the construction companies who came to sign up for bidding, and to coordinate all aspects of the relationship.On the day of listing, Chen Mo received a call from Chen Liang. Chen Liang said, Brother, I heard that you are going to build a building. Are you in charge of the project?Chen Mo said, yes, what's wrong?Chen Liang said, brother, I want to take that project.Chen Mo was taken aback, thinking that Chen Liang had only been working in You County Construction Company for less than half a year, so he was so courageous.So he said, Chen Liang, you have taken the wrong medicine, and you are probably close to repairing the ditch, and building a house, where is your funds?What about technology?What about the equipment?Chen Liang said, Brother, you are still looking at people with old eyes. Let me tell you, I am already the project manager of our company. I don’t have funds, I don’t know how to build houses, and I don’t have equipment, but our company has them.Chen Mo was stunned for a while. It was the first time he knew his younger brother, the brother of his own mother and compatriots, for more than 20 years.Then, he figured it out himself. Although Chen Liang respected him, Chen Liang's personality was very different from his. Chen Liang was bold and courageous since he was a child, and sometimes he did things recklessly.When he was admitted to university, his parents did not intend to let Chen Liang drop out of school, but planned to borrow money to support the education of the two brothers.Chen Liang didn't discuss with anyone, and went to work in the mine directly from school.Chen Mo was silent for a while, and then said, Chen Liang, I am in charge of the project, but I don't want you to get involved in this matter, because of my relationship with you, others will suspect blindly, even if it is a fair bidding, it is impossible It seems to be a black box operation.Besides, I'm just doing business, and the board needs to be taken by the leader. I can't count, and I can't help you.

Chen Liang stopped talking and chattered for a while, and when he was on the phone, he only said a word, and I knew that this matter could not be counted on you. Although the application fee was set to be 5,000 yuan, which would not be refunded whether the bid was won or not, and a deposit of 100,000 yuan was required (refundable if the bid was not won), but only half a month after the listing, the construction engineering company that came to sign up for the bidding There are still more than 18 companies, and the competition in the real estate industry is becoming more and more fierce.Almost all the bosses have approached Chen Mo, hoping to get care from him.Chen Mo just smiled and never expressed his opinion.He knew that he didn't have the right to make a statement, not even Deputy Secretary Cai Peng, so he just welcomed him warmly and explained patiently.Then, two young men from the Construction Bureau and the Judiciary Bureau were sent out to investigate all the companies that signed up for the bidding.The two young people are very happy, and they are very enthusiastic about their work. Chen Mo knows that it is a fat job to go out and conduct investigations in various companies, so they are happy.

The advertisement for project bidding was published, and the municipal radio and television stations broadcast it every day, and the "Chuxi Daily" also published it in a relatively important advertisement position.Ever since Shen Xiaoyan came to run this advertisement, Chen Mo paid more attention to reading "Chuxi Daily". When he saw it, he saw that Shen Xiaoyan wrote Lao Qi's reportage, which took up two-thirds of the page, and the title was very imposing. , "Sail in the Spring Tide" is also accompanied by a photo. In the photo, Lao Qi is sitting in a suit and leather shoes, sitting at a large desk, with an extraordinary demeanor.There is also a group photo of Lao Qi's leadership team of Huixin Company surrounded by a planning drawing. Lao Qi's hand is thinking about a corner of the drawing, and the other hand is pointing to the distance, as if pointing the country.Chen Mo laughed, thinking that although Shen Xiaoyan came from the provincial TV station, her concept is not new, and even the photos are a bit stereotyped, I am afraid that apart from these two poses, there will be no other photos.Then I read the article again. Although the article is full of praises, I can vaguely see a little bit of Lao Qi's history.It turned out that Lao Qi was also born in a poor family when he was young, and the two brothers made a living by making dried tofu and selling it along the street.Later, Lao Qi's elder brother died in a car accident. Lao Qi took over the responsibility of raising his elder brother's son and started his own business. The mine started to start. Lao Qi sold all his family property to invest in the mine and dug the first pot of gold. Later, he expanded from mining to mineral processing and set up his own flotation plant and electrolytic zinc plant. The enterprise developed into a cross-industry collective company. and so on.Although the article avoids the most important things about Lao Qi's family history and neglects the details, Chen Mo still sensitively read one piece of information, that is, after a certain leader's car killed Lao Qi's brother, Lao Qi magnanimously dealt with his brother's aftermath. As a result, the dignitary was moved by his generosity and helped him become an entrepreneur.

Chen Mo laughed, but he kept guessing in his heart, who would be the leader who helped Lao Qi? On the day when the engineering team registration deadline, Chen Mo asked two young people to give a brief introduction to the situation of each team, complete various forms, and then report to Deputy Secretary Cai Peng.Comparing the overall situation of each engineering team, Chen Mo felt that Haichao Company was more likely to win the bid. This company has complete qualifications, strong capital, and strong technical force and equipment. It has always occupied an absolute advantage in the real estate market in Chuxi City. .The other companies were basically the same, except for one called Jinxia Company. The two young people from the Judiciary Bureau reported that they hadn't seen anything. It seemed to be a leather bag company. However, the registration fee of 5,000 yuan was still paid.The manager of this company is named Yan Xinglei. He looks only twenty-seven or eighteen years old. His hair is always neatly combed and he wears moisturizing mousse.Yan Xinglei came to Chen Mo's dormitory one night and brought a large amount of money. He handed over his business card first, then threw the money on the sofa and said, please take care of him.Then he turned against the customer and threw himself on the sofa.Because of Yan Xinglei's action of throwing money, Chen Mo looked at this person with distaste, as if he had been insulted, thinking that this person must be used to running in the business field, and felt that money could do everything, so he was very upset. Self-confidence is also very arrogant, and everyone is regarded as a corrupt official.Chen Mo picked up the bundle of money, measured it with his hands, and said, quite a lot, hehe.Yan Xinglei said, not much, after the matter is completed, there will be another big thank you.Chen Mo said, this amount of money is enough for me. To be honest, I have never seen so much money when I grow up.

Yan Xinglei just laughed and said, Director Chen was joking, what kind of money is this? ... Chen Mo quickly interrupted him with a smile, and said, slow down, Mr. Yan, this is not something I can do, I am just an office worker. Yan Xinglei was also frank, saying, I know you can't decide, I just invite you to serve snacks, and recommend more in front of the leader. Chen Mo smiled, Yan Xinglei's frankness was actually telling himself from the side that he also had a relationship with the leader.Chen Mo originally wanted to ridicule him, but at this moment he hesitated, everything must be delayed, this is very correct.Chen Mo then picked up the money, handed it back to Yan Xinglei, and said, Mr. Yan, I warmly recommend all the companies that come to bid, how about this, you take the money back, to be honest, I will be tempted if I put it here, Afraid of not being able to stand the temptation.But, I really can't accept it. If I accept it, I will become a short-lived person. I am only thirty years old, and I still want to work, don't you think?

Yan Xinglei laughed and said, Director Chen is also a straightforward person, but you don't have to carry the burden. If the matter fails, the money will still be mine. Chen Mo said, this is not going to work, Mr. Yan, I will not accept the money, this is not a polite word, I hope you don't make it difficult for me.As for how you operate, I don't care, I sincerely wish you success.Really, if you don't take the money, we can't talk. Yan Xinglei smiled and said, it seems that you are really an honest person, Director Chen.How about this, I will take the money back first, and please support me more, our brothers will have a long future.

After Yan Xinglei left, Chen Mo was stunned for a long time, and the thick bundle of money always appeared in front of his eyes, which was so red that it seemed to illuminate his internal organs.Chen Mo felt that he was still not very knowledgeable, and he couldn't remain indifferent to money. It took Chen Mo a lot of effort to calm down, and then he took all the information of the bidding companies to Cai Peng's office to report.Cai Peng was not in the office.Chen Mo called Cai Peng, and Cai Peng replied that he was working outside.Chen Mo retreated to his office, sitting in a daze, still dangling the wad of banknotes in front of his eyes.Long Yun said, what is Director Chen thinking?Chen Mo woke up with a start, and said, he didn't think about anything, he was exhausted these days.Long Yun said, take care of your health, work belongs to the country, but your body belongs to you.Since Chen Mo took over as the deputy director of logistics, the colleagues in the office seem to be in awe of him. No wonder, the deputy director in charge of logistics holds the financial power. Asked him to nod.From this, Chen Mo sighed. This is how a person's prestige gradually increases. Looking back on his work experience over the years, some people seem to be unable to see anything special about him when everyone is equal. , Once he rises to a high position, his impression will be quite different, he is already a great man.When Chen Mo was in the county committee office, there was a deputy director who used to call each other buddies and sisters. Later, he was transferred to the director of the water conservancy bureau. When they met, they shook hands and were called official titles. It looked like a different scene.The strange thing is, not only that, even the appearance of that person has become more official day by day, this kind of change from temperament to body, Chen Mo has been trying to figure it out for a long time.

While sitting there, the cell phone rang, and it was Lao Qi's call.Lao Qi said, Director Chen, do you have time?If you have time, please come to my place, I have something to do.Chen Mo asked, what's the matter?Lao Qi said, you will know when you come.Chen Mo thought, it must be Lao Qi who is also coming to bid.Thinking of this, he called Xiao Xiang and asked if the car was at home.Xiao Xiang said he was at home.Chen Mo said, please give me a ride, there is something wrong.Xiao Xiang said, okay, where are you?Chen Mo said, I am in the office. After making a phone call and going out, the car was already waiting at the gate of the office building.As soon as Chen Mo got into the car, Xiao Xiang asked, where are we going?Chen Mo said, Big Regal Hotel.

When we arrived at the Dafuhao Hotel, Lao Qi was already waiting there.Chen Mo thought that if the office needed a car, he sent Xiao Xiang back, saying, I will come back by car later.Then he and Lao Qi went to sit in a corner of the hall.Lao Qi said, Director Chen, I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you for a long time, mainly because the mine integration side is very busy.Chen Mo asked, won the bid?Lao Qi said, there is no bidding yet, how to win, mainly to do the preliminary work, a lot of joints need to be opened up, damn it, all the snakes are going to bite people.Chen Mo knew that what Lao Qi was talking about was spending money to open joints in all aspects, so it was not easy to intervene.He took the initiative to change the subject and asked, Brother Qi asked me to come, do you want to participate in the bidding for the building of our municipal committee?Lao Qi said, I still have a lot of energy to get that. Now people, money, and things are all concentrated in the mine. Besides, I came to bid, not to cause trouble for you, let me win. Your brother doesn't have that ability yet. , someone above is in charge, if I don't win, brother will definitely not think well.When Chen Mo heard that it was not about bidding, he felt relieved and said, I am really afraid that Brother Qi will come, just like you said, this is not easy to handle.Lao Qi said that it is a lie to say that making friends does not rely on friends, but it also depends on the time and see if it can be done, not to make trouble for friends, this is the principle of my making friends.Chen Mo said sincerely, this is the friendship between gentlemen.

Lao Qi said, Director Chen, Su Fen is ill. Chen Mo was taken aback, and said, I'm sick, why are you sick? Lao Qi said, I didn't want to tell you at first, but she hasn't come to work since the beginning of the new year. She is the pillar of my hotel, you know that.I asked the waiter who was with her and found out that she was sick before the Chinese New Year.Speaking of it, don't feel burdened, her illness is related to you.I had dinner with Mayor Zhang that day, and you were drunk. Didn’t she serve you all night? When I got home, I caught a cold, and then I went on vacation. Her family was poor, and she couldn’t bear to be treated, so it turned into pneumonia. Chen Mo said, I was so drunk that day that she stayed up all night and got cold.Lao Qi said, yes.If it's just for this, I wouldn't call you here either. According to the waiter who served her, she was lying in the hospital but called your name. Chen Mo's heart twitched suddenly, and Sufen's affectionate eyes appeared in front of his eyes again. It seems that his sixth sense is not wrong, that girl does have such a feeling for him, and it is very deep.On the outside, Chen Mo pretended to be calm, saying that little girls don't know much when they first entered the society. Lao Qi smiled and said, this girl loves you too much.If you have time, go and see her, at Cui Min's place. Chen Mo said, let's go later, you can go with me too, you are the boss, you should also love your subordinates. Lao Qi said, I've already gone to see her, you can go and see her yourself.In addition, a digression, our company is bidding for the mineral development in Youxian County, which is very difficult, especially the loan is not easy, please come forward and ask Mayor Zhang to come to our company for inspection at your convenience, and support me. Chen Mo said, okay, let's see the opportunity. Coming out of Lao Qi, Chen Mo took a taxi, ordered a bouquet of flowers at the flower shop, and went straight to the hospital.When I rushed to the hospital, I bumped into Cui Min and said, Director Chen, go see someone.Chen Mo was a little embarrassed. After all, visiting a girl was a bit ambiguous.Chen Mo said, yes, see a friend.Cui Min didn't want to leave, and stood talking to Chen Mo, saying, Director Chen, you are here, I have been busy for a while during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't say hello to you, let's have dinner together later, I will be the host.Chen Mo said, just after the Chinese New Year, I was full of meat and drunk, and didn't want to eat anything. How about it, you spent a lot of time during my mother's hospitalization, and I will invite you when I am busy in a few days.Cui Min smiled and said, how dare I ask you to invite me, I invite me to invite you. After rambling for a while, Chen Mo's sweat began to ooze out. He was afraid that he would meet someone he knew. If he met someone, how should he answer when someone asked him?What Chen Mo is most afraid of is lying. He doesn't have that habit. Whenever he thinks of lying, his heart beats faster, his face turns red, and he is completely exposed before he speaks.But Cui Min seemed to be addicted to talking, he kept talking here and there, and Chen Mo wanted to say goodbye several times, but he beat him back again.Just as he was talking, Cui Min's cell phone rang, Chen Mo seized the opportunity, bid farewell quickly, and walked away in three steps. Su Fen lived in a large ward with three beds. Su Fen was on an IV drip with her eyes closed. Another girl was sitting by the bed and reading a book. She was also sent by Lao Qi to serve Chen Mo's mother, so she knew her.Seeing Chen Mo coming, the girl stood up awkwardly and said, Chen... Big Brother is here?Chen Mo said, is it better?The girl said, much better.Just as she was talking, Su Fen opened her eyes, and when she saw Chen Mo, her newly opened eyes were filled with tears.Chen Mo didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he pretended to arrange flowers, and bent down for a long time to arrange them.When she looked back, the tears in Sufen's eyes had been forced back into her sockets. The girl said, Brother Chen, you came just in time. I was about to go out to eat, and there was no one to help me.Then he went out.Chen Mo thought to himself, these girls who work in the service industry are all good people, she is not going out to eat, but she is just giving time to him and Sufen.Chen Mo didn't want to point it out either, so let her go. For a while, Chen Mo could only face Sufen silently, like a child playing "Daihu". After watching each other for a while, Sufen laughed and said, this illness is really good.Chen Mo's heart twitched again, the meaning of these words was too clear.Chen Mo said, silly sister, what's wrong with being sick.As soon as I said it, I regretted it. Sure enough, Sufen said, you only came to see me when you were sick. Chen Mo said, it's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't be sick. Sufen smiled and said, I am willing. Chen Mo had nothing to say.Sufen pretended to be naughty, but she couldn't hide her feelings. For a moment, the impulse in Chen Mo's heart reached its peak, and she couldn't help but want to lean down and kiss her tired face because of illness, wanting to put her into his arms. Sufen is still saying, I have been in the city for so long, and you are the only one who treats me well, really.We work as waiters in a hotel, those men just want to take advantage of our addiction, only you, so honest.When I saw you for the first time, I felt that you were so familiar, as if I had seen you somewhere before, I recall, recall, I know, I have never seen you before, I saw you in a dream You...really, I don't lie to you. Chen Mo listened quietly, feeling ups and downs.Sufen suddenly stopped talking, looked at him, and suddenly whispered in a viscous voice that seemed to flow, you don't know, what did your mother tell me in the hospital that day, she said, good girl , It would be great if you were my daughter-in-law. Chen Mo's heart was churning. Facing a beautiful girl, an infatuated and pure girl who was so straightforward that he even expressed some frankness, he felt impulsive, ashamed, and...love.Yes, love, real love, a man is such an animal, he has love and hate, his hate is specific, but love will never be given to anyone alone.Men are loving animals. However, on the rational side, there is another Chen Mo standing there, reminding him, no, absolutely not.Maybe it was to kill his impulse, Chen Mo suddenly made up his mind and leaned over to her, saying, Sufen, good sister, thank you for trusting me, just treat me as your big brother, you see, I don’t Sister, how I wish I had a sister. The sparks in Sufen's eyes went out all of a sudden, as if the blazing steel was suddenly quenched, and the mist came out of her eyes and rose into the air.But just for a moment, the girl smiled and said with an almost cheerful expression, really, do you really want to be my brother?I don’t have an older brother either. When I was a child, I was envious of other people having older brothers. It was time to change the dressing. The nurse got up and changed a bottle of drip.Chen Mo straightened up and said, "Sufen, I'm leaving, you can rest easy and recuperate. Pneumonia is not a serious illness, just stay for a few days and you'll be fine. I'll see you again in a few days."Although Sufen was a little bit reluctant, she nodded.Chen Mo took out all the money in his pocket, stuffed it on Sufen's pillow, and said, you can use this money first, if it is not enough, I will go back and find some more. Sufen quickly declined, saying, I don't want it, I don't want it.Chen Mo held her down and said, you don't recognize my brother?Sufen said, I do.Chen Mo said, my sister is hospitalized, can't my brother give me some money?What's more, your illness was born because of me? Sufen fell silent.Chen Mo patted her face like a big brother, and walked out.
