The Second New Bridge Wind and Cloud Chapter 30 ?? The Appearance of a Love Rival
It turns out that this trick was set up by Chen Gong early on, and one day he saw Deng Peng and took the initiative to tell him that these companies are actually not bad, but the most important thing is sincerity.
Deng Peng thought Chen Gong was hinting at money, so he foolishly asked someone to send money over. Now that Deng Peng thinks about it, Chen Gong never said anything about taking money, looks like he misunderstood himself.
Deng Pengke really didn't realize that all of this was Chen Gong's plan. If he hadn't sent the cash, Chen Gong might not have been so successful. After all, there are many eyes watching here, and some things aren't just settled by one person saying so. Now is the time to talk about the three "gongs" - justice, fairness, and transparency.
With Deng Peng's self-inflicted downfall, Chen Gong smoothly selected Fuhai Hongtu Construction Engineering Company and finally got the green light to start work. Chen Gong could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The procurement of equipment and instruments is a matter of course, but since few people know about it, the Seismological Bureau signed an agreement with Beijing Hongtu Industry Co., Ltd. to introduce advanced short-period and long-period seismographs as well as ultra-long period or wide-band seismographs from abroad.
The contract signing ceremony was held in the office of the Seismological Bureau, and Director Xu also understood the so-called relationship between Hongtu Company and Director Chen. However, he didn't dare to speak randomly, knowing that some things are better left unsaid and unasked, as confidentiality is one of the most important tasks of the office.
Work is going smoothly, but Chen Gong's romantic luck hasn't made any progress. Except for his contact with Wei Shuqin, he has almost lost touch with Song Huiyun and Xiao Xingya.
Everything was ready, only waiting for the east wind. The new bridge district seismic station's foundation laying ceremony was finally held, and Wang Shuai, director of the southern province seismic bureau, attended the scene in person. Through his connections, the director of the national seismic bureau's seismic monitoring department also came to the event. At that time, the provincial, municipal, and district media and newspapers all reported on this matter, and Chen Gong also rode on the leaders' prestige to appear in several newspapers.
On the day of the foundation-laying ceremony, all roads nearby were blocked off. Cars going back and forth were stuck in traffic for nearly an hour, with horns blaring everywhere. "What's this? Another leader has come, it's always like this. What's the difference between this and ancient times when officials went on inspection tours?" "This is a classic case of disturbing the people." "Let's get out and take a look... did something happen up ahead or what..."
Here at the scene, the host is introducing the leaders attending the groundbreaking ceremony. "Next, please welcome the Director of Seismic Monitoring Bureau of National Earthquake Administration to give a speech."
The applause erupted immediately, and I suspected that these crowds were all government department employees acting as crowd actors. Although they were facing the weather, they had to pretend to be like the crowd. If the leaders looked closely, they would find that, wow, the quality of the people in Xinqiao District is quite high!
The deputy mayor in charge from the municipal government was Qian Guangming, and Secretary Yuan Weihua, District Mayor Yang Xiang and several standing committee members and deputy mayors all arrived. The specifications were still quite high, otherwise the road would not have been closed off. Upon hearing that the minister was about to give a speech, everyone also started applauding.
The Director of the Seismological Bureau's Earthquake Monitoring Department read out his prepared speech on stage with great enthusiasm, "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders from provinces, cities, and districts, good morning. Today, I stand here with great excitement to give a speech for the upcoming modern earthquake monitoring station. Currently... our government should take the lead in this project, it is for social service, we welcome supervision from society at any time. Finally, I would like to thank the seismological system of Southern Province and the New Bridge District Committee and Government of Fuhai City for their strong support, without which this project could not have been successfully launched. I believe this will be a new highlight of our government, rather than just an image project, it is a practical and down-to-earth project. That's all for my speech, thank you."
To put it bluntly, this groundbreaking ceremony was basically all about speeches. Director Wang Shuai, Vice Mayor Qian Guangming, and Secretary Yuan Weihua all went up one by one to give their talks. After everyone used shovels to break the ground, this ritual was finally completed.
The cars nearby can finally pass through, and the relevant leaders in the district also sent off the leaders who came to Xin Bridge one by one. Before leaving, Wang Shuai specially called Chen Gong aside and said that after the project is completed, several experienced personnel who are proficient in business and familiar with technology must be equipped, otherwise this advanced hardware will not be able to play a big role even if it is well-matched.
Chen Gong also felt grateful to Wang Shuai. Without this old man, he might not have been able to make such a big name for himself. "Thanks again to Director Wang's support. If you hadn't given us the indicator of a demonstration point in Xin Qiao District, neither the district nor the city would have given us such great support. If we were only building an ordinary earthquake monitoring station, I think it would be good enough if the deputy district head came."
Taking advantage of the smooth completion of today's tasks, Chen Gong drove himself to Fuhai. Not only did Song Huiyun and Xiao Xingya gradually become estranged from him, but his girlfriend Wei Shuqin was also moving to Nancheng City. Since Wei Chengxu's daily commute was indeed too tiring, he bought a house in the Nancheng urban area, and Wei Shuqin would soon be transferred to work at the Nancheng Daily News Agency.
Chen Gong arrived at the Fuhai Daily News building before Wei Shuqin got off work. At the entrance of the stairs, there was a man standing around Chen Gong's age, about thirty years old, with a refined demeanor and holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, looking very anxious.
Nowadays, chasing a girl is so difficult. With fewer women, even fewer beautiful women and even fewer beautiful, elegant and understanding women, it's not about money or background, but there are many excellent men.
That man was on the phone, not far from Chen Gong, so Chen Gong heard his conversation, talking about the municipal government, saying something about leaders having a meeting, and also mentioning that there were leaders coming down from the province, it seems this guy is also an official.
Chen Gong sent a text message to Wei Shuqin that he had arrived at the bottom of her unit and was wandering around nearby.
In recent years, the housing prices in China have skyrocketed. Chen Gong couldn't help but wonder, what kind of people need houses and what kind of people can afford to buy them? This building starts at 7,000 yuan, that one is already limited in quantity. Is there really such a huge market for this house?
Chen Gong thought, this house is now like the symptoms of the Huaxia National Stock Market crash a few years ago. Everyone knows that buying it can preserve and increase its value, making a stable profit without any loss. But after the stock market crashed, it never came back. Will this house end up the same way?
Chen Gong wandered around in circles and returned to the entrance of Fuhai Daily, where he found Wei Shuqin's figure, but there seemed to be a man in front of her. Who was it?
As I walked closer, it was the handsome man who had been holding flowers earlier. He was asking Wei Shuqin out to dinner, but she didn't agree and said she had something on. The man ignored her refusal and insisted on putting the flowers in her hands, and Wei Shuqin also helplessly held them against her chest.
"Hey, Shuqin, who is he?" Chen Gong walked over with a smile.
Wei Shuqin saw Chen Gong coming, and immediately walked to his side, holding onto his hand tightly. "He's a friend, we met a few days ago, I told him I already have a boyfriend. That Tang Bing, he's my boyfriend, Chen Gong."
Tang Bing was very elegant, stretching out his hand, "Chen Gong, you're lucky, you have such a beautiful and kind lady as your girlfriend, so you must be careful, the pressure and competition will be great."
Chen Gong also knew that this Tang Bing was up to no good, wasn't he just trying to flirt with Wei Shuqin? He retorted, "We're on very good terms, and besides, the competition registration has already closed, I think nobody else has a chance now."
Tang Bing let go of his hand, "Shu Qin, I'll leave first. If there's a chance, I'll come and ask you out to play again. Chen Gong, I hope you can always be so confident." After finishing speaking, Tang Bing got into a Mercedes-Benz and left.
Chen Gong looked at Tang Bing's ride, "What does this guy do, driving a Benz? How did you two meet, not online, right? I told you not to chat with strangers online, let alone meet them in person." Chen Gong wasn't really sure, so his tone wasn't too heavy, but that little brat had indeed affected his mood.
Wei Shuqin found a trash can and threw the flowers in, "Tang Bing is my dad's unit's deputy director of the municipal government of Nancheng City, young and promising, right? Only one year older than you, met at dinner once, then kept pursuing me."
It's not a bad thing to show off one's achievements, but this guy is both the leader and drives a Mercedes-Benz, Chen Gong still has some pressure in his heart, "Shu Qin, he's a government official, driving a Mercedes-Benz?"
At that time, Wei Shuqin had this question in her mind when she met Tang Bing. Later, after listening to Wei Chengxu's words, she knew that he was a master's graduate from Qinghua University in Beijing and was sent by the General Office of the State Council for on-the-job training. It is said that his family is very rich, and the car is also brought from Beijing, still with a Beijing license plate number.
Chen Gong was also a bit angry in his heart just now, and didn't notice Chen Bing's license plate number. Such an excellent man, Chen Gong's confidence really wavered, "This guy is great, very good, I'll take on his challenge anytime."
Wei Shuqin patted Chen Gong's back, "You, a spoiled son of an official family, are still afraid of others' challenges? Disgusting! Who approved his joining? I'm the one who belongs to you alone."
Two people came to Wei Shuqin's home in Fuhai, simply packed up a bit, Chen Gongke moved his waist and back sorely, "Shuqin, why do you take so many things? Just put them here, this house is not for sale or rent. Besides, it can't be taken away, just come back to Fuhai when there's time."
Wei Shuqin didn't put down the big bag in her hand, "No, no, these are all my childhood toys and photo albums. Look, this is my favorite skirt when I was a kid, isn't it pretty? And...".
Chen Gong stared blankly at Wei Shuqin, "Wow, I really admire her. Are all women like this when it comes to nostalgia? 'Okay, okay, you take it, why are you still holding onto that large photo frame alone?'"
Chen Gong finished speaking, and saw Wei Shuqin throw away other things, her face didn't look good. Chen Gong took a closer look, the large frame was a middle-aged woman, who looked very similar to Wei Shuqin. Chen Gong had a puzzled expression, he had been to Wei Shuqin's home before, but had never seen her mother.
Chen Gong had already guessed it, probably Wei Shuqin's mother had passed away, but now it was not good to confirm it either. "Shuqin, then take them all, I'll help you carry some."
Wei Shuqin took out a handkerchief and wiped away a few tears, hugging the photo frame. "Chen Gong, this is my mother, she passed away many years ago."
