After a new company was established, the first problem it faced was the market. Market competition was the main problem that plagued the development of the company. However, the development of the sales market needed to be gradual and persistent. Just as they were confused about the production task, an opportunity fell from the sky and surprised them.
Qin Ruyu had just turned on her computer when a familiar voice came from the phone.""Is it Qin Ruyu?"
Qin Ruyu saw that it was an unfamiliar number and hesitated for a moment before saying,""I'm Qin Ruyu. Who are you?”
The other party said,"I'm Zhang Guoliang!" He couldn't even recognize his old classmate's voice?”
Qin Ruyu hesitated for a moment before she came to a realization. She said excitedly,"Guoliang! After not seeing each other for a few years, her voice seemed to have changed. Where are you?"
Zhang Guoliang said,"I've aged since we last met. Even my voice has aged a lot." I'm already in Sanhe City, and I'm staying at Wuzhou International Hotel, 28th floor, room 2806.”
"Do you have any plans for the afternoon?" asked Qin Ruyu. If you're fine, I'll go see you immediately.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I'm going to the Sanhe Power Plant to handle some matters. Come over tonight!"”
"What business do you have at the Three Rivers Power Plant?" asked Qin Ruyu.”
Zhang Guoliang said," To participate in the bidding for the technical transformation project of Sanhe Power Plant. Didn't you participate?"
"Really?" Qin Ruyu asked in surprise. Why didn't we know?"
Zhang Guoliang said," Your salespeople only know how to run around the country. They don't even know about the project bidding under their own eyes. Isn't that giving up what's near and seeking what's far?”
Qin Ruyu said,"I'll treat you to dinner at the Five Provinces Hotel tonight. Let's talk when we meet!"”
In the evening, Qin Ruyu, Yan Yihu, and Yan Junfang treated Zhang Guoliang and the others to a meal at the Five Continents International Hotel before returning to his room to talk. Since there were no outsiders in the room, Zhang Guoliang gave them a detailed introduction to the bidding of Sanhe Power Plant.
"Do you think our company can still participate in the bidding?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Zhang Guoliang said," Sanhe Power Plant didn't invite you. How can you participate in the bidding?”
"Just get them to send an invitation letter to our company!" Qin Ruyu said.”
Zhang Guoliang said," The tender will be opened in 10 days. Can we make it in time?"”
"What's there to be late for?" Qin Ruyu asked. Everything depends on one's own efforts!"
Zhang Guoliang said," The technical transformation plan for this power plant is very complicated. I worked overtime for half a month to write it. Can you design it in a few days?"”
"With your technical modification plan as a reference, do we still need half a month for this plan?”
Zhang Guoliang couldn't help but look around and ask in surprise,""You mean you copied my proposal?”
"No! I didn't plagiarize, but you came up with a new plan for me.”
"What if the technical staff of the power plant sees that our two companies 'plans are similar?" asked Zhang Guoliang.”
"This requires you to improve on the original plan and come up with a better plan," Qin Ruyu said.”
Zhang Guoliang hesitated for a moment and said,""My rice bowl will be in danger!”
Qin Ruyu said,"We can't let you take this risk for nothing. As long as we can win the bid to buy you a three-bedroom and two-living room apartment." If you want to work with us, we'll still hire you as the deputy chief engineer.
Yan Yihu continued," Our chief engineer is about to retire. As long as you do a good job, we'll hire you as the chief engineer in the future.”
Zhang Guoliang thought to himself," I've been working for Binhe Power Construction Company for several years, but I don't even have a decent house. It's great that I can help them get a big house!" However, on second thought, there were only 10 days left. Would they have the ability to take down this fortress?”
So he asked,"Can you get this bid in such a short time?"”
Qin Ruyu said,"Where there is a will, there is a way. I think there is a lot of hope."”
"Please do your best to help us, Chief Zhang. We'll definitely fulfill our promise after we succeed."”
Zhang Guoliang said,"President Yan, my old senior, don't call me President Zhang. Just call me Little Zhang."”
"The three of us graduated from the same school, so we can just call him Brother Yan," said Qin Ruyu.”
"It's more cordial for us to call each other brothers, so there's no need to be so polite.”
"Who did you contact at Sanhe Power Plant?" asked Qin Ruyu. How did you know about this project?”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Do you still remember Gao Zhanxiang from the fourth class of the power automaton class?" He was the tall guy who sang " The Love of a Boat Trainer " with you at the National Day Gala. He was now the head of the Biotech Department of the Sanhe Power Plant. His father was the chief engineer of the power plant.”
"He's also here in Sanhe!" Qin Ruyu exclaimed. Why didn't I know about it at all?"
Zhang Guoliang said," We have a good relationship. Gao Zhanxiang was the one who told me about the bidding for this project.”
Qin Ruyu said,"This is great. I'll also ask my old classmate for help. Our hope is even greater."”
"When I graduated, I heard that the two of you were dating. Is that true?"”
Qin Ruyu said,"Strictly speaking, he once pursued me. I never meant that."”
"Why didn't you agree?" Zhang Guoliang asked.”
"I don't have any feelings for him at all. How can I agree to him?" Qin Ruyu said.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Even if we don't want to be lovers, we should still be friends!" Why did you cut off contact?"
"Maybe I hurt him too badly, so he might hate me in his heart.”
"It's been so many years, I won't blame you now."”
"No matter what, I must ask him for help." Qin Ruyu said. I don't think he'll leave it alone.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I'll give Gao Zhanxiang a call first. You can go to the factory tomorrow morning to ask him for help."”
"Yes! There was no time to lose. She would look for him tomorrow morning.”
"Guoliang, can you accompany me to find Gao Zhanxiang tomorrow morning?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I can't speak up for you in public. I can only help you do your work behind your back." If my colleagues find out, it'll be hard to explain to the company.”
"Yes! Guo Liang is representing their company in the bidding. He can't openly stand on our side. It's already good enough that he can help us from behind.”
They discussed the next step of the plan and said goodbye to Zhang Guoliang to go home.
At 9 am the next day, Qin Ruyu and Yan Junfang brought the company's qualification documents to Sanhe Power Plant to look for Gao Zhanxiang. As they had an appointment in advance, Gao Zhanxiang welcomed them warmly and led Qin Ruyu and Yan Junfang to a small meeting room.
After Qin Ruyu and Gao Zhanxiang shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, she introduced,""This is Yan Junfang, the assistant to the general manager of our company.”
Yan Junfang took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Zhanxiang and said,"Please take care of me, Section Chief Gao!"
Gao Zhanxiang carefully sized up Yan Junfang and said,""There's no need for introductions. We've met long ago.”
"You've seen him long ago?" Yan Junfang asked in surprise. Why can't I remember?"
Gao Zhanxiang smiled and said,"I went on stage to give you flowers at the National Day Gala. Unfortunately, I was stopped by the security guard and didn't give it to you personally."”
Yan Junfang patted her head and thought for a while before saying,"I remember now. A young man went on stage to present flowers and was pulled by the security guard. He fell and threw the flowers at my feet. I'm really sorry. I didn't help you back then.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," At that time, many people wanted to go on stage. You were so scared that you kept retreating. How could you care about helping me? Actually, we all want to see how beautiful you are up close.”
Yan Junfang smiled and said,"Aren't I just an ordinary young girl?" What's there to see! "From now on, it'll be easy for Section Chief Gao to see me. Just give me a call and I'll come over immediately to let you see me. I'll only leave when you're tired of looking at me.”
"Yes!" Qin Ruyu said. This old classmate of mine likes to look at beautiful women.”
Gao Zhanxiang said embarrassedly,"I was just joking!" Why take it so seriously? At that time, everyone liked you very much and wanted to support you and create a happy atmosphere.”
Yan Junfang said," Thank you, Section Chief Gao, for taking the lead to support me. The next time you present flowers, I'll definitely receive them personally and give you a hug on the spot."”
Qin Ruyu said," In the future, if you want to give this little beauty flowers, it'll be easy. Just give us a call and we'll come and get them. We'll take as many as you give us. We'll accept them without any mistakes."”The three of them laughed.
Gao Zhanxiang said embarrassedly,"Let's get down to business!" I have to attend a meeting soon."
Qin Ruyu said," I won't stand on ceremony. I'd like to ask an old classmate for a favor. Give us a chance to bid for the power plant's technical transformation project." We have the ability to do this project well.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"It's not that I want to give face to my old classmates, but you guys are too late." The invitation letter had already been sent out, and the bid would be opened soon. It was already too late.”
"What's there to be late for?" Qin Ruyu asked. You can just send me a new invitation letter!”
Gao Zhanxiang said," If you had come earlier, I could have recommended it to you. However, the six bidders have already been decided. The addition of one unit requires the bidding leadership team to hold a meeting to discuss it.”
Qin Ruyu said," So what if it's research? You just need to convene a meeting to study it!"”
"How can I have the right to call a meeting?" Gao Zhanxiang asked. The chief engineer had to gather the heads of the relevant departments for a meeting to discuss the matter.”
"Isn't the chief engineer your father? Just tell him and ask him for help.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"You don't know how stubborn this old man is. If I ask him this question, I'll definitely be scolded."”
Qin Ruyu saw that he was afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger behind, so she forced him to say,"I don't care if you get scolded or not. You have to do your best to fight for me. If you don't solve this problem for me, I won't leave. I'll go home with you for dinner.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," There's no problem with eating. We're no longer poor students. It's not a problem for you to eat at our house for three years." As long as you have the time to come, I warmly welcome you!”，
Qin Ruyu said," Stop joking. Go and talk to your father. Try to solve the problem as soon as possible."”
Gao Zhanxiang had a helpless look on his face as he sighed and said,""I really can't do anything to you. I'll go and try!”
Gao Zhanxiang went to the chief engineer, Gao Jingtian, and told him about Sanhe Power Automatic Company's request to be shortlisted for the bidding. Gao Jingtian lost his temper and said,""Nonsense! How could he do that? Absolutely not. Tell them to leave!"
Before Gao Zhanxiang could say anything, Gao Jingtian had already left. Gao Zhanxiang left the chief engineer's office in embarrassment and went to the small conference room to meet Qin Ruyu and Yan Junfang.
When Qin Ruyu saw him come back with a sad face, she hurriedly asked,"What did your father say?"
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I knew he wouldn't agree, but you insisted on making me hit the nail."”
"Is there no hope at all?" asked Qin Ruyu. Think of another way!"
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I really have no other tricks!"”
"You've already done your best. I won't blame you." Don't lose heart. Let's all think calmly. Maybe we'll figure something out.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I have to go to a meeting right away. You guys rest here for a while. I'll treat you to lunch."”
"I can't let it affect your work. Hurry up and go to the meeting!" Qin Ruyu said. Let's rest here for a while."
After Gao Zhanxiang left the meeting room, Qin Ruyu asked,""Little Yan, I think it'll be hard to break in. Let's just go back!”
"Let's think about what else we can do," Yan Junfang said. The key was how to do the chief engineer's job well. As long as the chief engineer fully supported him, things would be easy.”
"Is there any way to move Chief Engineer's heart?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Yan Junfang said," Many people like money and beautiful women. I wonder what the chief engineer likes.”
" I don't know anything about Chief Engineer Gao Jingtian," Qin Ruyu said." I don't know what he likes."”
Yan Junfang said,"Ask your classmate Zhang Guoliang!"”
"Yes!" Qin Ruyu said. Give Zhang Guoliang a call and ask him to help us think of a way. This kid has a lot of clever ideas.”
Qin Ruyu called Zhang Guoliang and explained their encounter at the power plant over the phone. She asked him if he had any ideas.
Zhang Guoliang thought for a moment and said," It's not appropriate to bribe an old classmate. Besides, it's difficult for Gao Zhanxiang to control the situation. The power is in his father's hands."……”
Zhang Guoliang pondered for a long time on the phone before saying,"I got it, I got it!"
"What do you have? Tell me quickly!" asked Qin Ruyu.”
"Have you seen the Thirty-Six Stratagems?" Zhang Guoliang asked. One of the thirty-six stratagems was called the honey trap. This honey trap was invincible.”
Qin Ruyu was shocked and hurriedly asked,""You mean to find a prostitute for Gao Zhanxiang's father? Gao Zhanxiang will definitely beat you up if he finds out.”
"Old classmate, you've misunderstood! How can we help him do such a dirty thing?”
"Where did the beauty in this honey trap come from?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Do you still need to look around for this beauty?" You are the famous flower of our school and Gao Zhanxiang's dream. Now that he's single and you're single, aren't they a perfect match made in heaven?”
"To think that you came up with such a stupid idea!" Qin Ruyu said angrily. Thinking back to how I rejected him mercilessly back then, he already hated me to death. Now that you mention it, he will definitely fall out with you.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Maybe he can't forget his old feelings and hopes that you will return to his side and be united with him forever!"”
"No, absolutely not!" Qin Ruyu said. There were more boys than girls in school, so of course, girls were favored! Now that he's surrounded by beautiful women, would he still be interested in me, who can't get married?”
Zhang Guoliang thought for a moment and said,"What you said makes sense. It's hard for people's thoughts to remain unchanged as time passes."-- That's right! I suddenly remembered! Don't you have a little sister by your side? I see that she has delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. Let her go…”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Ruyu said happily. This was indeed a good idea! Hurry up and come over to discuss our countermeasures and carry out our plan as soon as possible. I'll wait for you in the small conference room on the second floor. You must be quick!”
When Yan Junfang saw that Qin Ruyu had finished her call, she hurriedly asked,""What do you mean by honey trap?”
"Xiaoyan, listen to me analyze the current situation. If we want to get the bidding rights for the Sanhe Power Plant's technical transformation project, we must do a good job with Gao Jingtian and Gao Zhanxiang and make them serve us willingly. How could he move their hearts? It wasn't appropriate for them to give him money since they were classmates, and he wasn't short of money. Gao Jingtian only had one son, Gao Zhanxiang. Gao Zhanxiang was already 28 years old and still had no girlfriend, which made Gao Jingtian and his wife very anxious. If there was a girl who could make Gao Zhanxiang's heart flutter and give him a little comfort in his heart, their family would definitely be ecstatic. Under such circumstances, it would be easy for us to ask them for help.”
Yan Junfang said,"Sister Yu, I heard that Gao Zhanxiang has been madly in love with you in school for several years. Now that he's reliving his old dream, he must be very happy." I think the two of you are a perfect match. Don't hesitate anymore.”
"I didn't like him in the past, and I still don't like him now. How can I be friends with him?" Qin Ruyu said.”
Yan Junfang said,"You don't need to like him. It's fine as long as he likes you." Let him chase after you for a while more to solve the problem of our bidding.”
"The problem is that he doesn't like me anymore. Now that he has so many beautiful girls around him, he definitely won't be interested in me, the " Leftover Woman " that no one wants. I think he likes you very much. His eyes light up when he sees you. I once rushed onto the stage to give you flowers. I'm your loyal fan. You're the girl he likes.”
"No, no!" Yan Junfang said. I have no feelings for him at all. I will never be friends with him.”
"Hey!" Qin Ruyu said anxiously. I'm not really asking you to be friends. I'm just asking you to make her happy. It was fine as long as he was happy. In fact, it was just a game. After the game ended, they would go their separate ways and not interfere with each other.”
Yan Junfang said,"We're making a game, but they'll definitely take it seriously!" When that time comes, Gao Zhanxiang will be in trouble if he doesn't let go of me. You can't joke about this!"
Qin Ruyu and Yan Junfang were in a deadlock. Suddenly, Zhang Guoliang hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. After Qin Ruyu explained the issue that they had just debated to Zhang Guoliang in detail, she slowly said,"Xiaoyan's worries are understandable. The key is how we act out this scene.”
"Tell me your brilliant idea!" Qin Ruyu said.”
Zhang Guoliang took a sip of water and looked at Yan Junfang."" Firstly, we should express our intention to encourage them to get along well with each other, but we shouldn't make it too clear so that they can guess, ponder, and explore, and let their imaginations run wild. We didn't make any promises to him, so there won't be any repercussions if we ignore him in the future. Second, I'll say the sensitive words. I rarely come to Sanhe City when I'm working in another city. It's not easy to get my help. Third, Xiao Yan is not participating in the lunch gathering of our old classmates today. Xiao Yan will not know what we are talking about together. Xiao Yan does not have to take any responsibility. Fourth, Xiaoyan should try not to talk much when he visited Gao Zhanxiang's parents at his house tonight. He just had to maintain a steady, reserved, and shy demeanor.”
"Do I still have to go to his house to meet his parents?" Yan Junfang asked. How can I do that?"
"Hey! We're not really friends, so what's there to be embarrassed about?”
"Aren't you playing me like a doll?" Yan Junfang asked.”
Qin Ruyu said,"Your character is just a pretty vase. Just let them see it." As for their fantasies, that was their business.”
"Isn't this a little unfair?" Yan Junfang asked.”
Qin Ruyu said," There are too many people who have fantasies about you. There's no need for you to consider their feelings. Once our goal is achieved, we'll withdraw our troops."”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Little Yan, let's not hesitate anymore!" I'm sacrificing myself to help you now. You should be more concerned than me. Let's quickly study the detailed plan and try to take down this fortress as soon as possible.”
"Xiaoyan, you can go back now. I'll pick you up at eight o'clock in the evening. You must dress up beautifully and try to charm their entire family.”
Yan Junfang had just left when Gao Zhanxiang returned.
"Where's Xiaoyan?" he asked as soon as he entered. Didn't I say I'll treat you guys to a meal?"
Zhang Guoliang said,"Xiaoyan said that he won't be attending the class reunion." We were all old classmates. It was inconvenient for a little girl to talk among us, so we let her go back.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," What's so inconvenient about that? We're not outsiders. Her father is our schoolmate!"”
Zhang Guoliang said," It's even more inconvenient to say that. We address her father and brother. She should call us uncle."”
"There's no need to be so particular," Qin Ruyu said. We're eight years older than her, so we don't have to call her uncle. Let's just call each other brother and sister! Xiaoyan keeps calling me sister, so you can just call me brother!”
Zhang Guoliang said," It's not appropriate to call him uncle. It'll create a generation gap. It's better to call him brother or sister."”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"It's almost 12 o'clock. Let's go out and eat!"”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I'll treat you to lunch today. Let's find a place nearby!"”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"No! You're a guest from another city, so I have to be the host. I should be the host.”
Qin Ruyu said,"You guys don't have to fight. I'm the most suitable host." Gao Zhanxiang is God, Zhang Guoliang is a guest, so I should be the host.”
Gao Zhanxiang was about to speak when Zhang Guoliang stopped him and said,"Stop arguing! Let's let our school belle and old classmate treat us to lunch today!”
They went to a restaurant near the school and opened a quiet private room. They ordered a few dishes and opened a few bottles of beer to chat about the weather.
Zhang Guoliang said,"Zhan Xiang, we haven't been in contact for a few years. You're doing well!"”
Gao Zhanxiang shook his head and said,"Where, where!" After so many years, he was only a small section chief. It's really annoying to be so busy all day long.”
Zhang Guoliang said," The power plant is an authentic state-owned enterprise. It pays a lot of wages and bonuses. The employee benefits are also very good. You should be content!”
"Yeah!" Qin Ruyu said. The power industry is a high-income industry. You're in luck.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I heard that you're still single, but I don't know if you have a girlfriend." It's time to find one!"
Gao Zhanxiang blushed and said,"Yes!" He should have found a wife long ago. However, she doesn't even like me. What can I do?”
"Is it because the girl doesn't like you, or are your standards too high?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"To be honest, I have quite a few girls around me. However, I have no feelings for them. Mom and dad force me every day. I'm so annoyed!”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Don't you have a crush on a girl?"”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I like her. If a girl doesn't like me, it's useless." Let's not talk about this annoying topic today. Let's talk about something else!”
"We're old classmates," Qin Ruyu said."If you have something to say, just say it. If you like a girl, I'll do her job. Don't be shy.”
Gao Zhanxiang looked up at Qin Ruyu and then at Zhang Guoliang before lowering his head shyly.
Qin Ruyu saw that the time was ripe and asked,"Zhan Xiang, what do you think of my little sister, Yan Junfang?" Are you interested in her?”
Gao Zhanxiang immediately raised his head and asked,"Are you talking about Xiaoyan, who came with you?”
"That's right!" Qin Ruyu said. This girl is quite good-looking!"
"It's more than just possible!" Gao Zhanxiang said excitedly. Who else in Sanhe City was prettier than her? The number one beauty of the Three Rivers!"
"If you're interested, I can help you get in touch with them," Qin Ruyu said.”
"She listens to you?" Gao Zhanxiang asked.”
"She should be the one to decide on her marriage," Qin Ruyu said. However, this girl has always treated me as her biological sister and is very obedient to me.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"To be honest, I've been infatuated with this girl for a long time." However, there are thousands of young men who like Xiao Yan. How can a commoner like me have such a blessing?”
"You're underestimating yourself!" Qin Ruyu said. You have a stable income and a successful career. Which girl wouldn't be tempted by you?”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Yan Junfang's reputation as the number one beauty in Sanhe is not undeserved. She is indeed a rare beauty." She was like a fairy from heaven, while I was a commoner from the mortal world. The difference was too great, and I didn't dare to have any improper thoughts.”
"You've been a fan of Xiaoyan for a long time. Don't you have any thoughts about him?" asked Qin Ruyu.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I like her very much! However, he did not have much hope at all. He just wanted to see her. There are many outstanding men in Sanhe City. There are thousands of people who like her. How could they fall for a fool like me?”
Zhang Guoliang shook his head and said,"Wrong! You're so wrong! The fate of husband and wife was predestined. No matter how rich or powerful you were, it was useless. You had to be fated. Who would have thought that the Seven Celestial Maidens from the heavens would descend to the mortal world and become husband and wife with Dong Yong? If Xiao Yan was a fairy, then you would be Dong Yong. As long as you gave your heart, you would be able to move Yan Junfang one day. An upright man must first dare to think. Only by daring to think can he dare to do it. Only by persevering in his efforts can he achieve his goals. You don't even dare to think about it. You're really a coward. You've embarrassed us old classmates.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I've thought about it for half a year, but I still haven't found out that I have the slightest fate with her."”
Qin Ruyu said,"Think about it. When you went on stage to present flowers, which one of you knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, then threw the flowers at her feet?"”
Gao Zhanxiang said helplessly,"Hey! How am I kowtowing to propose? He was pushed down by the security guards!"
Zhang Guoliang said,"Many things that seem to be accidental have an inevitable fate. All of this is the arrangement of fate." You're the first young man to propose to Yan Junfang. She'll be touched by you eventually. You should cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and strive for it.”
"What opportunity?" Gao Zhanxiang asked. I don't even have the chance to get close to her. How can I work hard?”
"With me acting as your sister, do you still have to worry about not having a chance?" Qin Ruyu asked.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I don't think Xiaoyan is interested in me at all. I really don't have confidence."”
Qin Ruyu said,"The two of you got along very well in the small meeting room this morning!" When I was talking to you, she stared at you passionately. How could you say that she didn't have any interest in you?”
"Really?" Gao Zhanxiang asked in surprise. Why didn't I see it?"
Qin Ruyu said,"As the saying goes,'The onlooker sees clearly, but the person involved is mystified.' How did you notice the change in Xiaoyan's expression?!”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I really want to look at her a few more times, but I'm really embarrassed. I'm afraid that people will laugh at me."”
"I've asked Xiaoyan about it before. Xiaoyan has a very good impression of you. She even asked if you were married.”
Gao Zhanxiang scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly, not knowing what to do. He asked shyly,"Really? Don't tease me!"
"Why would I lie to you?!" Qin Ruyu said.”
Gao Zhanxiang was at a loss. He scratched his head and muttered to himself,"What should I do?"
Zhang Guoliang patted Gao Zhanxiang's shoulder and said,""Silly boy! Hurry up and chase! If I wasn't married, I would have to compete with you. She was such a good girl! Having Xiaoyan as a wife was a lifetime of happiness.”
Gao Zhanxiang giggled happily. He looked at Qin Ruyu and Zhang Guoliang and said,"To be honest, I really don't know how to chase a girl! What could he do to win a girl's heart?”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Zhan Xiang, haven't you watched movies and television dramas? He would take care of her in life and give her full support in her work. He would just cater to her preferences and make her happy. The key is to give your sincere love and use your sincerity to move the girl's heart.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I understand what you're saying. I don't know where I should start."”
"There's something I need your help with right now," said Qin Ruyu.”
"What is it?" Gao Zhanxiang asked.
"Have you forgotten?" Qin Ruyu asked. Your Sanhe Power Plant's technical transformation project was shortlisted for the bidding!”
Gao Zhanxiang shook his head and said,"I can't make the decision!"”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Ask your father to help!"”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I've already talked to him. He said no and even lectured me." What can I do?"
Zhang Guoliang said," That's because you didn't seize the opportunity. Tell him about it when he's in a good mood and he'll agree to help."”
"When he's in a good mood?" Gao Zhanxiang asked. I don't see him smiling at me.”
"Why is he unhappy?" asked Qin Ruyu.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," They introduced me to a few girls. I didn't agree to meet them. My parents have a lot of opinions about me. They always have a gloomy face.”
"You're almost thirty and you still don't have a girlfriend. How can they not be anxious?" Qin Ruyu said. If you bring a girlfriend home, they will be very happy.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Where am I going to find a girlfriend?!"”
Zhang Guoliang said,"You silly boy, why don't you get it?" Isn't Yan Junfang your girlfriend?”
"Xiaoyan is willing to be my girlfriend?" Gao Zhanxiang asked in surprise. Wasn't this just daydreaming?”
"Of course, she's not your girlfriend yet. She might be your girlfriend in the future.”
"What's the use of that?" Gao Zhanxiang asked. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Zhang Guoliang said,"You're going to chase after me now!"”
"How?" asked Gao Zhanxiang.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"Think of a way to help her!"”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I can't do anything if Dad doesn't want to help.”
Qin Ruyu said,"Your old man will definitely be very happy to see you bring Xiaoyan home." Things would be easier once the old master was happy.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Isn't this lying to Mom and Dad?"”
"Haven't you watched TV dramas?" Zhang Guoliang asked. Bringing a girl home to make the old man happy was a son's filial piety. Why not pursue the girl and fulfill his filial piety?”
"Will Xiaoyan agree to this?" asked Gao Zhanxiang.”
"Leave this matter to me!" Qin Ruyu said. If she dares to say the word 'no', I'll spank her.”
"When will you be at my house?" Gao Zhanxiang asked.”
"Tonight, the three of us will go to your house to visit your parents.”
"So fast?" Gao Zhanxiang asked. Can Xiaoyan come?"
"Don't worry!" Qin Ruyu said. I'll make a call and she'll be here immediately.”
"Should we go and tell Mom and Dad to prepare dinner?" Gao Zhanxiang asked.”
"There's no need to inform your parents. It's best to give them a surprise.”
Zhang Guoliang said,"I'll treat you tonight. I'll go to your house after dinner."”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Don't argue with me. I'll treat you to dinner."”
Qin Ruyu said,"You have to be enthusiastic when you see Xiaoyan, but don't be anxious for success." After all, you haven't reached that step yet. Don't force her to express her stance. They had to cultivate their feelings step by step. When the time was right, they would naturally succeed in one fell swoop. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I understand. I know my limits." It's already good enough that she started dating me. Even if she doesn't catch up with me in the end, it's my blessing to be able to look at her a few more times.”
"With such a good attitude, I'm relieved." Qin Ruyu said. Let's discuss the details of our visit to your house tonight!”
The three of them discussed the matters of the evening. Gao Zhanxiang arranged for Zhang Guoliang to rest at the power plant guest house, and Qin Ruyu returned to the company to work.
Yan Yihu had been busy for the entire morning, and his head was dizzy and exhausted. After eating lunch in the staff canteen, he fell asleep on his desk. Yan Junfang quietly came in from the small door in the middle and saw that he was asleep, so she did not disturb him. At 2:30 pm, she saw that Qin Ruyu had returned and called her in.
"What did you say after you sent me away?" Yan Junfang asked.”
Qin Ruyu said,"This Gao Zhanxiang is really devoted to you. When he proposed to visit his house with you, he was very happy and expressed his willingness to help us put on this show."”
Yan Junfang said," Gao Zhanxiang pursued you in school for several years. You two are a perfect match. Why did you let me interfere?"”
Qin Ruyu said," That was then and that is now. Times have changed, and things have changed. I'm old and no longer attractive. You're the only one who can play this role."”
Yan Junfang said," I'm not interested in him at all. How can I get along with him when I feel uncomfortable seeing him?"”
Qin Ruyu said," It's just a show. I'm not really asking you to be friends with him. Don't think too much." Once the contract was signed, she would ignore him.”
Yan Junfang said,"My acting skills are really too poor. It's over if I screw up on stage."”
Qin Ruyu said,"You don't have many lines. You just have to keep smiling."”
Yan Junfang and Qin Ruyu were talking when Yan Yihu pushed open the small door in the middle and quietly entered Yan Junfang's office.
"What are you guys acting?" Yan Yihu asked as soon as he entered. Tell me."
"I wanted to report to you, but I didn't disturb you since you were sleeping soundly." It was very difficult to get shortlisted for the power plant technical transformation project.”
"Why?" Yan Yihu asked.
Yan Junfang said," We were too late. The six bidders have already been decided. We can't get in."”
"Find someone familiar and think of a way!" Yan Yihu said.”
"The head of the Biotechnology Department is my classmate, and his father is the chief engineer," Qin Ruyu said. My classmate asked his father, but his father refused without leaving any room for negotiation.”
"When will the tender be opened?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Qin Ruyu said," There's still 10 days before the winning bidder is announced. There's not much time left to turn around.”
Yan Yihu flew into a rage and said with a straight face,"What's wrong with you guys? A project worth tens of millions of dollars right under our noses, yet we know nothing about it. Quickly call Zheng Tianxi over to come up with a countermeasure!”
Qin Ruyu waved her hand and said,"Wait a minute. Don't be anxious. Let me finish."”
"What else do you have to say? Hurry up and say it!" Yan Yihu asked impatiently.”
" We want to use the honey trap to attack the chief engineer of the power plant, Gao Jingtian, and motivate him to win the bid," Qin Ruyu said.……”
Qin Ruyu reported their plan in detail.
"Using a honey trap in the bidding competition?" Yan Yihu shook his head again and again. It was truly a strange story in the world! We are a legitimate company that abides by the law. We should rely on our strength to defeat our competitors and win the bid. It was illegal and disgraceful to use unfair means of competition. I don't agree with you guys messing around. It's better to think of a way from the right path!”
" I've thought of all the ways," Qin Ruyu said." I can't move that stubborn old man, Gao Jingtian, no matter what I say. I can only use the honey trap to tackle the problem."”
Yan Yihu said," Lawful operation is the basic principle of the company's development. Fair competition is the normal means of enterprise development. You can't come up with bad ideas when you encounter difficulties.”
Qin Ruyu said,"You're always thinking about principles and fairness. Can our competitors compete with you fairly?" It was impossible to not put in some effort on such a large project. They were all using all kinds of connections and means to win over the leaders of Sanhe Power Plant to win the bid. What can they do if they don't hesitate to bribe you with a lot of money? This was bribery, and bribery was a crime. What can you do when they go to a karaoke bar to make a lady their groom? You can't do that. That's corruption and illegal. If we stick to the Principles, we won't have the ability to compete with them and won't be able to win the bid.”
Yan Yihu said,"No matter what, you can't ask the girl to play the honey trap!" What if they really took it for real and wouldn't let her go?”
" We've already discussed this with Gao Zhanxiang," Qin Ruyu said." We're just putting on a show for his father, Gao Jingtian. The goal is to motivate Gao Jingtian to work for us."”
"Gao Zhanxiang knew this was a scam, but he still agreed?" Yan Yihu asked.”
"I agree!" Qin Ruyu said. He said that he had to cooperate well with the act.”
"Don't worry, Dad!" Yan Junfang said. Your baby won't be cheated, won't be taken away.”
Yan Yihu thought about it and sighed."Since there's no way out, you can try! He had to be careful and not let others catch him.”
They discussed a few more details and then went to do their own work.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening after dinner. Yan Junfang, Qin Ruyu, and Zhang Guoliang walked into his house under Gao Zhanxiang's lead. Gao Jingtian and his wife had just finished dinner and were watching TV in the living room. When they saw their son leading three young men in, they hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Yan Junfang followed closely behind Gao Zhanxiang. When she stepped through the door, she deliberately wrapped her left hand around his arm and tilted her head slightly to his side. It looked like the two of them were intimate and natural like a pair of lovers who were in love. Gao Jingtian and his wife were both surprised and confused."No wonder my son doesn't care about the girl beside him. He already has this fairy-like girl.”
After walking into the living room, Gao Zhanxiang introduced the two old men who were dumbfounded,""Her name is Yan Junfang. These two are my classmates, Qin Ruyu and Zhang Guoliang.”
Yan Junfang didn't wait for Gao Zhanxiang to introduce the two elders to her before nodding slightly and saying,""Hello, Uncle! Hello, Auntie!"
Qin Ruyu and Zhang Guoliang nodded and greeted Gao Jingtian and his wife.""Sorry for the sudden visit!"
Ever since Yan Junfang entered the room, Gao Jingtian had been staring at this beautiful little girl. He had an indescribable fondness for her, but there was also a hint of doubt in his fondness. She looked at him and felt that he seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Seeing that everyone was standing awkwardly, Mrs. Gao quickly greeted the guests."Please sit, please sit! Zhan Xiang, quickly make tea for the guests!" Gao Zhanxiang hurriedly went to clean up the tea set and make tea.
Yan Junfang sat down next to Mrs. Gao and held her hand.""Is Auntie feeling well?"
Mrs. Gao hugged Yan Junfang's shoulder and carefully studied her face."It's alright, it's alright! He could eat, drink, and sleep without any major illnesses.”
Gao Zhanxiang placed a cup of tea in front of the guests and said to his mother,"Mom, how can you look at people with your face like this? Xiaoyan's face is red from embarrassment!”
"Didn't you bring Xiaoyan home so that we could take a look? The girl looked like the Seven Fairies. She was really likeable!”
"Xiaoyan looks familiar," Gao Jingtian said."I think I've seen him somewhere before."”
Gao Zhanxiang smiled. Everyone in the city is familiar with him."
"Why?" Gao Jingtian asked.
"She's Yan Junfang, the champion of the Miss Courtesy Competition in Sanhe City!" The newspapers often published huge photos of her, and her image often appeared on television. It was just that she had never seen her in person.”
Gao Jingtian and his wife looked at her and compared her appearance with the one in their memories.
"I knew Xiaoyan was no ordinary girl at first glance," Mrs. Gao said generously."She's truly worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in Sanhe."”
Yan Junfang said," This is all hype by the news media. I'm just an ordinary girl. It's hard to live up to my reputation."”
"Your glorious image is publicly acknowledged by everyone, so there's no need to be humble," said Gao Jingtian.”
"A distinguished guest has come to visit, but Zhan Xiang didn't even greet us. At the very least, he should have a simple meal!" Look at the mess at home.”
Qin Ruyu said," Zhan Xiang and we are old classmates. Xiaoyan and Zhan Xiang have a good relationship too. We're not outsiders, so there's no need to be too polite. This time, he would first get to know the family. Perhaps he would have to come and see them often in the future!”
Yan Junfang said," I'm young and ignorant. I don't know etiquette. If there are any shortcomings or mistakes, please criticize and correct me. You don't have to be polite."”
Zhang Guoliang said," Zhan Xiang and I were classmates in the same dormitory for four years. We were like brothers. If there's anything I can do for you, I'll be as filial as Zhan Xiang.”
"Thank you, thank you!" Gao Jingtian said. We haven't reached the point where we can't take care of ourselves. When that day comes, I won't be polite.”
Yan Junfang said,"Senior, it's a blessing for us juniors to be healthy and energetic.”
Mrs. Gao touched Yan Junfang's hand and asked,""How old is Xiaoyan this year?"
Yan Junfang said,"I'm 20 years old this year. I was born in the year of the monkey.”
"He's still young!" Mrs. Gao said. You're still a student, right?"
"I didn't go to university. I'm already working," Yan Junfang said.”
"When did you two meet?" Mrs. Gao asked. Why didn't I know about it?"
Gao Zhanxiang hurriedly answered for Yan Junfang,""We met on National Day last year. It's been a few months.”
"You brat, you didn't even tell me about it and made us worry about your marriage every day. It turns out that you already have someone in your heart."”
Gao Zhanxiang said embarrassedly,"Xiaoyan is a celebrity. I don't want everyone to talk about him."”
"Xiaoyan is still young," said Mrs. Gao."Zhan Xiang should take care of him and not be so careless.”
"Don't worry, Auntie! Zhan Xiang treats Xiaoyan quite well."
Mrs. Gao patted Yan Junfang's shoulder and said,""If Zhan Xiang bullies you, come and complain to me. I'll avenge you.”
"Don't worry, Auntie!" Yan Junfang said. Zhan Xiang won't bully me."
Qin Ruyu looked at Gao Jingtian and said,""I'm sorry, but we have something to trouble you with, President Gao.”
Gao Jingtian was smart enough to know that these people must have something to ask of him, so it was too late for him to hide. Therefore, he said,"We're not outsiders. There's no need to be polite.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," It's about their request to participate in the bidding for the technological transformation project. Dad, please help them!"”
Gao Jingtian's expression suddenly became unusually serious as he questioned Gao Zhanxiang,""Didn't I tell you? It was already too late. The bidders had already been decided.”
"Uncle, we are indeed late." Qin Ruyu said. I shouldn't have troubled you at this time. However, we don't want to lose this opportunity. Please think of a way!”
"There's only ten days left before we leave," Gao Jingtian said.”
Yan Junfang said,"Uncle, please help us. We will definitely be able to do this project well."”
Seeing Yan Junfang plead for mercy, Mrs. Gao said,"Isn't it just giving them a chance to bid? Just think of a way to help the children!”
Gao Jingtian felt that it was inappropriate to reject her outright, so he said slowly,""Let me try! I'm not the only one who has the final say in this matter. I have to ask the factory manager.”
Yan Junfang nodded at Gao Jingtian and said,""Thank you, Uncle. I've troubled you!”
Gao Zhanxiang had just returned home after sending the guests off when Gao Jingtian asked him with a straight face,""What's going on between you and that girl?”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"I'm almost thirty. Can't I find a girlfriend?"”
"I'm asking you how far you've progressed with her," Gao Jingtian said."Has she agreed to be your girlfriend?"”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"There has to be a process to getting a girlfriend! I think Xiaoyan is very good. I like her very much.”
"I want to know if she likes you and if she'll marry you," Gao Jingtian said.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," Feelings need to be cultivated step by step. Gradually, feelings will develop over time. I believe she will definitely like me."”
"Zhan Xiang, I'm your father," Gao Jingtian said."I hope you can find a girl you love! However, you and Yan Junfang are not suitable, and it's impossible.”
"Why?" Gao Zhanxiang asked disapprovingly.”
"Yan Junfang is the most beautiful woman in the city," Gao Jingtian said leisurely. The lads were all looking at her eagerly, all of them eager to fight. You can't see the situation clearly and still want to go in and join in the fun. Isn't that asking for trouble? Everyone says that beauties are trouble. I didn't believe it in the past, but when I saw her, I realized that this metaphor was too vivid. She has been in our power plant for less than two hours and has caused a sensation in the entire plant. Many people want to leave their jobs to see this little beauty, which has already affected their normal work. Everyone was talking about this girl in groups of three or five. Many young men were racking their brains to get close to her, making everyone fascinated and unable to work at ease. If we let her stay in our factory for a long time, who knows how many people will have wild imaginations and how many strange stories will happen. How could he want such a girl? How was she a beauty? She was simply a vixen who could bring disaster to the country and the people! Aren't you asking for trouble by bringing a vixen into your house?”
"Is it her fault for being beautiful?" asked Gao Zhanxiang. Who doesn't want to be prettier?"
"Yes!" Gao Jingtian said. It was not her fault that she was beautiful. But can such a beautiful girl marry you? There were thousands of people chasing after her. There are many people with better conditions than you. It's definitely not your turn.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Whether I can catch up or not, I will try my best to catch up. Even if I can't catch up, I won't regret it."”
"There's nothing wrong with finding a beautiful girl," Gao Jingtian said."I also want to find you a beautiful daughter-in-law." However, being too beautiful was a disaster. If you marry her and have thousands of eyes on your wife, can you go to work in peace all day long? Don't let your imagination run wild!"
"As long as Yan Junfang likes me, I'll marry her. No matter how many people have their eyes on her, I'm not afraid."”
Gao Jingtian sighed." I think you're the victim of this vixen. You've lost your mind." How good would it be to find an honest and reliable girl to live with! Why did he have to have this wet dream of marrying a fairy? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you'll suffer. If you don't listen to me, you silly boy, just wait to suffer!”
Mrs. Gao panicked when she heard Gao Jingtian's words. She said,"What's wrong with my son? Why isn't he worthy of her? Even if she was a fairy from heaven, she could also marry Dong Yong from the mortal world! Besides, our son is also very outstanding.”
Gao Jingtian said," The marriage of the Seven Celestial Maidens to Dong Yong is a story made up by people. It's the yearning of the poor people for a better life. How can such a bizarre story happen to Zhan Xiang?"”
"I think Xiaoyan is a good kid. I like her from the bottom of my heart," said Mrs. Gao. I don't like hearing you call her a vixen. Who doesn't want to find a beautiful girl to marry? When you were young, didn't you pursue me because you saw that I was young and beautiful? Zhan Xiang is chasing a beautiful girl, and you're trying to stop him. What are your intentions?”
"You old hag, you're really unreasonable!" Gao Jingtian said. Can you compare to Yan Junfang? You really don't know your limits."
"I wasn't as pretty as Yan Junfang when I was young, but I was also an outstanding beauty!" Mrs. Gao said. If I'm not pretty, why do you chase me so hard?”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Don't talk about the two of you anymore. I don't want to hear it!" What I want to say is that I don't want to give up on Yan Jun. I must work hard to pursue him.”
"Yes!" Mrs. Gao said. He had to chase after her sincerely.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"Dad, help me!" I like her very much and I don't want to give up.”
"You really don't know your limits!" Gao Jingtian said. Can't you see? He's here to ask me for help, not to be friends with Zhan Xiang.”
Gao Zhanxiang said," Even if they're here to do something, I still want to seize this opportunity to get closer to Xiaoyan. Maybe from now on, we'll have a bright future and develop a relationship."”
"It's not illegal for you to help them," Mrs. Gao said."What's there to be afraid of?" His son would be very sad if he lost this opportunity.”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"As long as you give them a chance to bid, I won't blame you even if I can't catch up to her." After I give up on her, I'll marry whoever you ask me to marry without any complaints.”
Gao Jingtian thought to himself, This silly boy is already obsessed with Yan Junfang. If I don't help him, he will blame me for the rest of his life. Just help them!"
So he asked,"Do you mean what you said?"”
"Of course it counts!" Gao Zhanxiang said.
" I'll give you half a year," Gao Jingtian said." If she doesn't agree to be your girlfriend, I'll find you another girl. Don't let your imagination run wild with Yan Junfang."”
Gao Zhanxiang said,"It's a deal!"”
"It's a deal!" Gao Jingtian said.
The next morning, Gao Jingtian went to the factory manager's office and asked for an additional quota. The factory manager agreed without much thought. Public bidding and fair competition were the basic principles of this technical transformation project bidding. This was not a big problem for the plant-level leaders, nor did it violate the principles. Gao Jingtian returned to his office and called Gao Zhanxiang, asking him to send the invitation letter to Sanhe Electric Power Automatic Company. The invitation letter and bidding documents could be sent online, and Yan Junfang received the bidding documents on the same day. Yan Yihu quickly gathered the leaders and relevant personnel of the technical department and sales department to study the technical proposal and prepare the tender.
With the technical modification plan provided by Zhang Guoliang as a reference, they saved a lot of trouble. Yan Yihu referred to the modern management technology of domestic and foreign power plants and formulated a set of advanced technical transformation plans. Qin Ruyu sent the technical proposal to Gao Zhanxiang for advice. Gao Zhanxiang was very happy after seeing it. Gao Zhanxiang then sent the proposal to Gao Jingtian's computer for comments. After all, Gao Jingtian was an expert in this field. After careful study, he proposed changes. The technical proposal was gradually perfected after many modifications, laying the foundation for the successful bidding.
In addition to the technical and price advantages, the success of the bidding must also have a relationship advantage. Even though Sanhe Electric Power Automatic Company was the latest to get involved, their connections were not ordinary. The Chief Engineer Gao Jingtian and the Chief of the Technology Department Gao Zhanxiang supported the bid.
In the blink of an eye, 10 days had passed. Qin Ruyu introduced the technical transformation plan of Sanhe Power Plant to the judges at the tender meeting, winning the judges 'strong interest. After Gao Jingtian and Gao Zhanxiang's evaluation, they recommended Sanhe Electric Power Automatic Company's technical standard as the best solution.
The evaluation of the commercial bid mainly depended on the price. The project cost was closely related to the technical transformation plan, so the judges had to carefully calculate the price and judge whether the supplier's offer was reasonable. The judges reviewed and calculated the supply price of Sanhe Power Automatic Company one by one, fully affirming the rationality of the offer.
The after-sales service terms of Sanhe Power Automatic Company were incomparable to the bidding units in other places. Due to the geographical advantage, they could arrive at the site within two hours to eliminate faults and ensure the normal power generation of the power plant, eliminating the worries of the power plant.
After the comprehensive evaluation of the review team, Sanhe Power Automatic Company won the bid with a total price of 26 million yuan. The main reason for the success of this bid was the recommendation of Gao Jingtian and Gao Zhanxiang from Sanhe Power Plant. Of course, the technical proposal provided by Zhang Guoliang also created favorable conditions for the successful bidding.
