Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 102 Chaos 5
Eric returned to Beijing. Three days later, he announced his decision to resign in the conference room. His final term will end at the end of the month. During the current period, he is mainly preparing for the handover with the new president of Greater China, Peter.

The meeting room was very quiet, and no one made a statement.

Eric tried to put on a relaxed look and asked everyone with a smile, "Any questions? I don't have many chances to answer your questions."

After a long time, someone whispered in the corner, "Eric, I wish you all the best." Then it aroused a few compliments from the people around, and finally sent a few words of "take care" to the boss.

Eric's face flushed a little, and he replied politely, "Thank you everyone."

He looked at the fruit bowl intentionally or unintentionally, Eunuch Jia, and Jiana. They didn't say a word, but there seemed to be a contemptuous smile on the face of the fruit bowl, and Eric felt a chill in his heart.

"Where's Zhang Yong? Why didn't you see him again?"

Before Ma Xiaoqing could speak, he was preempted by the fruit plate, "Isn't he very busy all the time, he is also the resource department, the engineering center, and a lot of business communication with Yaxu's GNSS. It is too difficult to meet him, you They are about to leave, so who cares what he does. Whether he is here or not, the result is not the same. Boss, shall we adjourn the meeting? Or should everyone wait here for Zhang Yong to come back?"

Fruit Bowl looked at Eric with a smile and said these words.Eric's face turned from red to blue, and everyone felt his anger, but finally he let out a long sigh, "Okay, let's end the meeting."

Zhang Yong who returned to the company heard the news and was quite helpless.He can't understand many things, but he can see many things that he doesn't want to happen.

He rushed to Eric's office immediately, not knowing what to say, but he should have a few words with the boss who was leaving.

At the door of Eric's office, Jiana blocked the drive, "I'm busy, I have time to see the boss now. Manager Jia is inside, just wait a moment."

Zhang Yong returned to his office, and his impression of Eunuch Jia was a little better in his heart, at least he was not completely heartless, it seemed that everyone still had human nature.It's a pity that he didn't know the content of the conversation between Eunuch Jia and Eric.

Eunuch Jia pushed Eric a card, which he had just applied for at the bank downstairs.

"Eric, this is what Cathy asked me to hand over to you. I didn't expect you to leave so soon. I don't think so."

Eric looked suspiciously at Eunuch Jia's disobedient expression, "How many cards are there?"

"One hundred thousand. Cathy said something, a little heart." Eunuch Jia repeated.

"One hundred thousand?" Eric sneered, "This is far from the conditions we talked about at the beginning. Is this a one-off?"

"Eric, Cathy and I talked about it. It is true that this is not the condition we negotiated with you before, but it is not our problem. Our previous condition was based on the fact that you are here as the president of China. You are here, Everything is easy to talk about. But now that you leave suddenly, everything has changed, and we have to rely on ourselves, so the previous conditions will naturally change."

"You should know best, without me, Cathy and the others wouldn't be able to enter Eka's door. I'm leaving, but I've already done what I should do."

Eunuch Jia showed a very disdainful smile. Before that, Eric never knew that Eunuch Jia would smile like this.

"Have you finished what you have done? Are you finished? Now Yaxu is not convinced, and he is about to file a lawsuit with Eka. The new president of China will arrive soon, and no one knows how he will deal with the rest of the matter. Cathy and Xinya It’s getting started, but no one knows what the future holds. You said that in this case, Cathy still took out 10 yuan, isn’t it very righteous.”

"Xiao Jia, it has nothing to do with the future. What we talked about at the beginning was to let her get started. I have already achieved it. I hope Cathy can fulfill her promise. I don't want the shares anymore, but I should honor the price we negotiated."

"The [-] is for cash, don't you want it? Boss, if you don't want it, I'll accept it. It's not easy to settle the accounts between me and Cathy, this bitch is not a good person. But I'm not afraid of her blackmailing me. I'm not like you. I came all the way from Hong Kong. I'm a local man from Beijing. I've seen a lot of black and white here. Who am I afraid of? Eric, you still keep the [-] Come on, Cathy is really upset, this thing is not necessarily going to go anywhere."

Hearing black and white from Eunuch Jia again, Eric felt extremely uncomfortable.He really wanted to imitate Zhang Yong and put some pressure on Eunuch Jia, but found that once he did not have the crown of CEO of China, he would lose the power to deter Eunuch Jia.He wanted to throw this card on Eunuch Jia's face again, but found that he still couldn't do it. 10 yuan was just a month's salary for him, but he really didn't have the courage to throw this month's salary out. .

Then he smiled, yes, didn't he deserve all of this?Isn't it his own choice to deal with what kind of people?
"Ka stay, thank Cathy for me, you go out."

"That's right, Boss. If you don't take it for free, don't take it. If you don't take it, it will be cheaper for me." Eunuch Jia stood up and walked out the door with three swaying steps.

He met a figure he least wanted to see, "Zhang Yong, you're back, thank you!" He greeted Zhang Yong with a smile.Zhang Yong nodded, "Well, I just came back."

Zhang Yong walked into Eric's office with mixed feelings.Everything looked fine, Eric's face was not very good, but compared to the scene when Tiger was kicked out by SKydon, he was still a lot more decent.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I went out this morning."

"Oh," Eric forced a smile, "Just now Penny said something, she said you were there or not, but the result is the same."

Zhang Yong didn't know what to say, "Maybe the result will be the same whether I'm here or not. But I was recruited by you, you are kind to me, if you have any bad news, although I can't change anything, I wish I could at least be by your side. It's not the first time I've seen my boss leave and I know what to expect. Some things, if they can be avoided, I try not to let them happen. Leaving is just a change of working environment, and I don't want to see something miserable scene."

"Unbearable," Eric recalled these words in his heart, with a mocking smile on his face, was the conversation with Eunuch Jia just now considered unbearable?
"Thank you, Zhang Yong. I don't blame others for anything bad. I got to where I am today."

"When are you leaving? I'd like to treat you to a private meal."

"No need for dinner, Zhang Yong, I am very glad to meet you, see you again when I have a chance in the future. I was going to wait until the end of this month to handover with Peter, but Peter just sent an email, saying that I can leave at any time, he doesn't want to leave." No handover is required."

"No need for any handover?" Zhang Yong was taken aback, and had some bad thoughts about the new boss.

……

……

Li Mei came to the Bidding Office of the Ministry of Finance with the letter paper of the association and the inspection report signed by Professor Guo of Peking University.

The staff received her politely and sent her out politely, but the supervisor was obviously very dissatisfied.

"Letters can be mailed, even if they are delivered in person, is there no one else in Zhonghe? They have to go there in person with a big belly. She is also uncomfortable, and we are also uncomfortable. Is this the real version of Qiu Ju's lawsuit?"

"Director, I'm a little afraid of her. I hope her new evidence is valid, otherwise, I'm really worried about her..."

The female staff member didn't have the heart to say the latter words.

"Don't do this. What we want is fairness and fairness, which cannot be affected by any external factors. Hurry up and read the test report he provided."

The expert's conclusions are quickly placed on the supervisor's desk.

"First, the report is a test report made by the GNSS Association and Professor Guo of Peking University, and it has certain reference value.

Two, but the report is actually an assessment in the name of Professor Guo, and has nothing to do with any institution of Peking University.

Third, although the report uses the association's red-headed letterhead and has the signatures of the association's experts, the association has not stamped it, nor has it signed by a legal person or manager, so this report does not represent the official opinion of the association, it can only be regarded as A folk assessment.

To sum up, no matter what the conclusion of this report is, it is not enough to be an authoritative report to overturn the conclusion of the previous bidding company.

However, in order to ensure fairness and notarization, we still sent this test report to Huatian Technology, the winning bidder, and asked them to clarify the conclusions of the report.

Huatian Technology's reply letter is attached below.

We do not doubt Professor Guo's notarization and professionalism, but many technical details are best known only to manufacturers.For example, as pointed out in the report, Mag cannot be powered by ordinary batteries. The fact is that Mag can provide battery boxes, which can be powered by random lithium batteries or powered by ordinary batteries through the built-in battery box.Such details, Professor Guo is not clear.At the same time, we believe that although ordinary dry batteries are required in the bidding document, the rechargeable lithium battery provided by Mag is a better solution, and at the same time can meet the requirements of the bidding document. bonus items.

There are also a few details that are similar, such as the issue about the serial port...

……

Final conclusion: We believe that the new evidence provided by Zhonghe can only be used as a reference, and it is not enough to support their appeal. The replies from Huatian Technology and the tenderee are well-founded, so we recommend dismissing Zhonghe's appeal.

Looking at this conclusion, the supervisor frowned.

He fully believed in this conclusion, which was exactly the same as his feeling when he first saw the test report.Some local bidding offices may still be shocked by the signs of Peking University and the association, but these people in the ministry have too much experience, and you can basically see through it at a glance how valuable this kind of report is.

But just like that, he felt a little nervous. Li Mei's crying with her belly out came to his mind again, what should I do?
In the end, he still made up his mind, "Notify Zhonghe Company and Li Mei that their appeal has not been passed."

On the second day, the staff of the Bidding Office looked towards the door from time to time during their busy work.They hope that that figure will not appear again, and the entire bidding process will continue.The end of the year is coming soon, if it is not completed as soon as possible, it will still be troublesome for the Ministry of Finance in the end.

However, Murphy's Law once again showed its magic, and they soon saw the figure with a potbellied staggering pace, and everyone felt their hearts tighten.

Mr. Zhao was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and a week passed without any progress.

He knew that Li Hui would notify him immediately of any situation.But he still couldn't bear it, and called Li Hui again.

"How? What's going on."

"I'm about to report to you. Although Zhonghe has the report from Peking University and the association this time, the appeal still has not been passed and has been rejected."

"Then what do we do now? Shall we sign the contract?" Master Zhao was not at all relaxed, because there was no sense of excitement in Li Hui's words.

"But Li Mei started crying again in the Ministry of Finance."

"Is she crazy?" Master Zhao looked serious, "I'm afraid the Ministry of Finance won't be afraid of her crying."

"The Ministry of Finance is not afraid, but Li Mei refuses to give up. She insisted that the expert group, the bidding company, and the procurement office all took advantage of us, so they all spoke for us, even denying such an authoritative report in her hand, So, she said..."

"What else is she going to do?"

"She said that this time, the Ministry of Finance will sue together, and all three parties will be sued in court."

Master Zhao suddenly felt that his head was three times bigger, "She, she, she said that she even sued the Ministry of Finance? Don't talk about Zhonghe, even the Development and Reform Commission would not dare to offend the Ministry of Finance."

"Mr. Zhao, I have communicated with the Ministry of Finance together with the tendering company. They said that no matter where the lawsuit goes, Zhonghe has absolutely no chance of winning. And if they continue to make trouble like this, they will be severely punished in the future and banned from participating in government procurement for three years. And so on. They also told Li Mei about the consequences, but Li Mei said..."

"say what?"

"She said it was intimidation, and if she threatened her again, she would call the police."

Li Hui couldn't hear Master Zhao's voice, "Mr. Zhao, they are actually digging their own grave. If we have time, we can delay it for a while. In the end, we will win, that is..."

Li Hui couldn't go on talking anymore. He and Master Zhao both understood that once this matter went through legal procedures, it might not be finished in a few months. Even if he won the lawsuit by then, Tianshi might have closed its doors.And closing the door this time is no different than last time, I'm afraid there will never be a chance to turn over again.

"Okay, you can continue to communicate with the bidding company, and I'll think of other ways."

……

……

Zhonghe Group, the office of the boss Gao Ping.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Zhao of Tianshi Company has called you for the third time, and I hope to talk to you."

"Find an excuse to return it, saying that I've been busy and it's inconvenient."

Gao Ping turned to Deputy General Manager Wang Xun, "What do you think?"

Wang Xun said: "Some things, if we lose, we should admit it. I think it's okay to put some pressure on the Ministry of Finance, but to be honest, I don't have the guts to go to court with the Ministry of Finance anyway."

Gao Ping pondered, "Sometimes a lawsuit is not necessarily for winning. I wonder what the Ministry of Finance thinks about legal proceedings? Didn't you say to put pressure on them? We put pressure through the law. Anyway, there will be mediation before the trial. We Is it too late to withdraw the lawsuit at the last minute?"

"Mr. Gao, I think it's a little dangerous for Li Mei to continue doing this."

"Do you think it would be more dangerous if you don't let her go on?"

……

……

Li Mei was still waiting in the office of the Bidding Office. She opened her coat, and her abdomen became more and more obvious.

After receiving a text message on her mobile phone, she stood up with difficulty, "The company has agreed to my lawsuit request, you wait to receive the subpoena from the court."

……

Master Zhao received a new text message, and there were only fifteen days left before the final payment day, counting the weekend.
