Zhao Manfu replied: "Don't have too much hope, just slowly work hard to get involved."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Okay, I know how to handle this matter."
Zhang Yunqing left Zhao Manfu's office and returned to the office of the Ministry of Commerce.
Production manager Xu Kun came to the office of the Ministry of Commerce and asked Zhang Yunqing: "Mr. Zhang, our owner organizes a regular meeting every week. Do you want people from the Ministry of Commerce to participate?"
Zhang Yunqing touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "We currently have a lot of things to do, and we don't have enough manpower. If we don't clearly know that there are cost-related matters, we don't need to send people to attend the meeting."
Production manager Xu Kun replied: "That regular meeting is usually about design and production arrangements. If it involves cost, their owner's cost will arrange a separate meeting."
After listening to production manager Xu Kun's answer, Zhang Yunqing said: "If this is the case, our business department will not need to participate in the weekly production meetings organized by the owner for the time being."
Production manager Xu Kun replied: "Okay. I'm just here to ask about this matter. I'm leaving first."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Walk slowly."
A few days later, Zhang Yunqing came to Tao Ting's office again.
Zhang Yunqing smiled and asked: "Mr. Tao, hello."
Tao Ting asked Zhang Yunqing to sit down and asked: "Mr. Zhang, hello.
I have found out what you asked me about last time.
Because this project is not directly operated by our company.
It is equivalent to helping the relevant departments to build it on behalf of them. Our company is just a construction agency.
Therefore, a clause was added to our contract requiring the implementation of fixed asset investment management regulations.
But regarding the Fixed Asset Investment Management Regulations, our company doesn’t have any ready-made documents after I asked around.”
After hearing what Tao Ting said, Zhang Yunqing looked helpless and asked: "Mr. Tao, isn't this a big joke?
I don’t know where to find the documents agreed in the contract, so if that’s the case, how can we execute the contract?”
Tao Ting could also clearly hear the dissatisfaction in Zhang Yunqing's words, and calmly comforted her: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Things can always be solved."
Zhang Yunqing agreed: "Mr. Tao, so much has been done on the project now, and there is a lot of content that needs to be confirmed and priced, but we can't find the documents agreed in the contract. Can we not be anxious?
You don’t know that the leaders of our company have been urging me to come to you for this document for a long time. How can I explain it to the leaders when I go back now?”
Tao Ting laughed and said, "Look, you're so anxious. You're too anxious. I haven't even finished what I said. How about you ask me to finish my words before getting anxious?"
Zhang Yunqing lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to himself: "That's true. Tao Ting didn't say that there is absolutely nothing we can do. Let's listen to what she has to say."
Zhang Yunqing then smiled at Tao Ting and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, I'm still too anxious and excited. Please give me some advice, Mr. Tao, on how to find this file."
Tao Ting smiled and said: "That's right. Look, your contract and the general contractor's contract all mentioned this document. People from our company told me that this contract document was issued by the Audit Bureau where the project is located."
Zhang Yunqing asked: "The documents issued by the Audit Bureau? Did they provide the contact person of the Audit Bureau?"
Tao Ting replied: "It is true that there are no contacts left."
Zhang Yunqing asked: "How about you help us contact the Audit Bureau?"
Tao Ting smiled again and said: "You, you see, people in our production department will definitely not contact the Audit Bureau. In my department, I am the only one you see. I am busy here every day to drink water."
I don’t have time, so how can I find someone from the Audit Bureau to help you?”
Zhang Yunqing asked with a wry smile: "In that case, you are not going to take care of this matter."
Tao Ting replied: "It's not that we don't care, we still have to take care of what should be taken care of. What I mean is that we don't have the manpower and time to deal with this matter.
But now this matter has affected at least the quality and price assessment of the construction units of three of your garden landscape bid sections.
You can discuss among the three units how to find this document."
Zhang Yunqing said with a smile: "Forget it, if I tell them two more bids, it will probably take me a long time to explain such a complicated matter clearly.
Then I will first go to the Audit Bureau to ask someone, slowly find the department that issued the document, and then study it after getting the document."
Tao Ting replied: "By the way, I think this document matter can be perfectly solved by just doing this."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Okay, let's find this document according to your instructions, and then we'll see what to do after we find it.
Our leaders are more concerned about our progress payment review, and I don’t know how the review is going now.”
Tao Ting replied: "The cost consulting company has completed the review of all your progress reports and handed them over to us on time.
Our company is reviewing this payment application internally, and has notified the general contractor to issue an invoice. You can also contact the general contractor to issue an invoice."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Okay, I will talk to the project manager Mr. Zhou when I get back later and ask him to coordinate the payment with the general contractor."
After Zhang Yunqing found out these important information, he hurried back to the Nanshan Project Department, and then asked Zhou Wencheng to go to Zhao Manfu's office to report clearly the information he had just found out.
When Zhao Manfu saw Zhang Yunqing and Zhou Wencheng come to the office, he asked them to sit down and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Yunqinghui reported: "I just came back from the office of the owner, Mr. Fang Tao Ting. Because the information is more important, I invited Mr. Zhou to come with me and report the situation to you."
Zhao Manfu arranged: "Well, okay, Yun Qing, please tell me first, what is the current situation and what do we need to do?"
Zhang Yunqing continued to report: "I went to Tao Ting today to talk about two things.
One thing is where is the fixed asset investment management regulations document.
The second issue is the status of our progress payment review."
Zhao Manfu directly demanded: "We are more concerned about payment. Please tell us about the progress payment review first."
Zhang Yunqing continued to report: "Okay, let's report on the progress payment review first.
According to the news disclosed by Mr. Tao, the cost consulting company has handed over the results of the progress payment review to the owner, and the owner has notified the general contractor to start issuing invoices.
Therefore, Mr. Tao suggested that we should issue invoices to the general contractor now. Otherwise, our money will not reach our account."
Zhao Manfu asked: "Why do I feel like I didn't understand it? Their progress payment review didn't tell us how much it was at all? Right?"
