She frowned and asked, "In which aspect do you fail to meet the standards?"
"The story about the workers playing cards at the construction site last time got to their ears somehow, and they thought this was the reason."
Shang Wan frowned. She punished her for playing cards, and it didn't have any adverse effects. People over there would think that this was the reason for refusing to pay, which was obviously a embarrassment.
"I will try to negotiate with the people over there." She said to Xiaoqing.
"Okay." Xiaoqing said.
It was just negotiation, without any slowdown. The other party's tone was very tough and would not give in, so she had to find people one by one.
Ultimately to no avail.
She could only discuss this matter with Shang Mingsen, and in the end she could only invite the superiors to dinner.
However, the person in charge of the meal did not agree, so the father and daughter became a little impatient.
"Abba, what should we do now?" She stood in front of Shang Mingsen's desk as blindly as a headless fly.
Shang Mingsen sat with a deep expression on his face, one hand stroking his chin back and forth.
"A Wan, it seems that the person on the other end is clearly trying to make things difficult for us. But why would they suddenly make things difficult for us? They also gave us gifts, but they didn't pay for the project just because of this completely negligible detail. It's so unreasonable."
"The only explanation is that someone is doing something behind my back." She frowned and said.
"Yes, the only explanation is that someone is behind it, but who is behind it?" Shang Mingsen said suspiciously.
Shang Wan stared at Shang Mingsen, but his mind was spinning, who could cause trouble? What is the purpose of doing this?
"A Wan, don't think about who is behind this. Now you have to find a way to meet the department director."
"Dad, if they deliberately make things difficult and the workers don't get paid, there will definitely be trouble. If they go to the city hall to protest, it will make the matter bigger. And the progress of our project will also be hindered."
"Yes! It's not a last resort, so we have to think of a way now. And it's illegal to go to the city hall to cause trouble." Shang Mingsen sighed, clasping his hands and placing them on the table.
Shang Wan clenched his hands anxiously, "Abba, do you know anyone who is familiar with the director? If so, we can use him to ease the situation."
Shang Mingsen's face relaxed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The Qi family has a good relationship with the director there. I'm going to call Zhengnan now and ask him to help pass the message along. It will be much easier for him to pass the message along than if we work a hundred times harder."
When Shang Wan heard this, he frowned and said, "Zheng Nan has a good relationship with the director?"
"The Qi family has a certain status in Mei City's political circles and has close connections with almost all official positions in Mei City. Therefore, as long as Zheng Nan says a word, those people will not dare to give him face."
She knew that the Qi family had always had unparalleled influence in politics, so this path was feasible.
But when I think about Zhengnan's attitude just now, I feel a little complicated.
"I'm going to call Zhengnan right now." Shang Mingsen immediately picked up the phone on the counter and wanted to dial.
Shang Wan looked at her father's actions and had the urge to stop him. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a relationship with him, but that she really owed him too much and couldn't repay it, so she didn't know how to refuse his request.
Thinking of this, she immediately pressed the phone.
"Abba, let's think of other ways." She said.
Shang Mingsen stared at her suspiciously: "Awan, what's wrong?"
She flashed her bright eyes and whispered quietly: "Abba, the relationship between the Qi family and me is not as good as it used to be. If there is any more trouble, we will owe too much. A debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay, unless it is a last resort.
When the time comes, it’s better not to bother.”
Shang Mingsen looked at her blankly. For a moment, his face became clear. He understood the deep meaning of Shang Wan's words.
"A Wan, we have tried all our methods just now, but none of them work." Shang Mingsen briefly and clearly explained the situation at hand.
There is no need to say too many words, just these few words are enough to remind Shang Wan that there is no other way but this method.
The smart Shang Wan heard the deep meaning in the words, and looked at Shang Mingsen speechlessly and choked.
Shang Mingsen continued: "Ah Wan, I know Zheng Nan has always had a crush on you, but now we have no choice. We can only trouble him again. After the matter is completed, we can thank him properly, which can be regarded as a favor.
"
She said nothing. Following Shang Mingsen's words, she let go of the phone button...
When the lights come on, the neon lights shine brightly.
Shang Mingsen took Shang Wan into the Hilton Hotel and came to the reserved box.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Shang Mingsen said with a smile on his face: "Director Zhang, thank you for the honor tonight."
"Dr. Shang is so kind." Director Zhang looked like he was a man of wealth and wealth.
When the two of them were saying hello, Shang Wan saw Qi Zhengnan standing aside, staring at her with a smile on his face.
She also gave him a friendly look in return, and then greeted the director. After exchanging polite words, she sat down.
"Director Zhang, it's a rare honor tonight, so I must have a few drinks." Shang Mingsen said with a smile on his face.
"I've heard that Shang Dong has a good drinking capacity, so I'm going to show him off tonight."
…
"Director Zhang, I am asking you to apologize this time." After greetings, Shang Mingsen went straight to the topic.
"How do you say this?" Director Zhang looked surprised.
Shang Mingsen suddenly sighed: "Hey, it's my fault. Some time ago, a worker was playing cards on the construction site and was caught on the spot by his daughter. The person was fired immediately and a meeting was held at that time to treat the matter as a safety issue.
The case was publicized and produced very good results. The order of the construction site has been good since then, so this incident did not have any impact. But in the end it was my temporary negligence."
Qi Zhengnan, who had been sitting silently, suddenly interrupted: "This matter is an internal matter of the construction company. As long as it does not affect the progress and the quality is passed, it will not affect the allocation of project funds."
"I think so too, but Director Zhang's staff may be more cautious and strict, and think that the standards are not met, so I came here specifically to apologize to the director tonight, hoping that the project funds can be allocated as soon as possible. The workers are waiting for the funds to be paid," Shang Mingsen said.
A sincere face.
Then Shang Wan answered: "Director Zhang, our company has always regarded safety as the first priority and adhered to construction safety very much, but now it is used as a reason to refuse funding. The mood of the workers has been very high in the past two days, and we have tried our best to comfort them, so we
I have to apologize to Director Zhang tonight, and I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."
Director Zhang looked at the three people in surprise, and then explained: "I really don't know about this matter, and I have never seen the documents for applying for project funds. I will go back and cross-examine carefully, and give Director Shang an answer as soon as possible."
When Shang Minglin heard this, a smile broke out on his face: "Thank you very much, Director Zhang. I'm looking forward to your good news."
Director Zhang smiled and said: "This matter is not a big deal? As long as the quality is excellent, the progress is not hindered, and the construction site safety is sufficient, the project payment will not be a problem."
"With Director Zhang's words, I feel much more at ease. Director Zhang, please rest assured that we will definitely pay close attention to the aspects you mentioned."
…
With the help of Qi Zhengnan, the project payment was finally settled, but what made Shang Wan embarrassed was how to thank Qi Zhengnan.
There will be more today. Something happened yesterday, so I'm sorry for not saying more.
