"Mr. Chen, just remember one thing: in the Meilin Village project, the construction period is a very important milestone. The second phase of the project must be completed before winter this year, understand?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Chen Guangda, who nodded: "Understood, Mayor Li, I've got it."

"Mayor Li, besides this, is there anything else that Guangda Construction needs to do?" Chen Guangda asked Li Xiuyuan.

"Aside from the issue of the construction period, the rest is about everyone cooperating and helping each other, and doing our best to complete this project well..." Li Xiuyuan was speaking when Wang Yonghua knocked on the door and came in.

Li Xiuyuan waved to Wang Yonghua as he entered.

"Yonghua is here. Come, let me introduce you. This is General Manager Chen from Guangda Construction."

"General Manager Chen and General Manager Wang Yonghua are our partners in the first phase of the Meilin Village project. The construction machinery they provide is of guaranteed quality and quantity, and has never had any problems..."

Li Xiuyuan introduced the two of them.

After the two shook hands, Li Xiuyuan continued, "President Chen, if any construction machinery is needed in this second phase of the project, we can consider cooperating with President Wang. Of course, this is just a suggestion; the specifics will depend on your Guangda Construction Company, and you two will need to discuss it."

Chen Guangda smiled broadly and was very enthusiastic towards Wang Yonghua: "The person introduced by Mayor Li is definitely no problem. Moreover, this General Manager Wang has participated in the first phase of the project and is very experienced. It would be great to cooperate with General Manager Wang. Please take good care of him."

The person Li Xiuyuan introduced seemed to have an unusual relationship with him. Before the meeting, as soon as Li Xiuyuan arrived, Wang Yonghua went to open the car door, and the two spoke very intimately. Now Li Xiuyuan was being polite, saying it was just a suggestion, but could he not listen to this suggestion?

At the same time, Chen Guangda was also wondering what Li Xiuyuan meant by introducing Wang Yonghua to him. Was it to transfer benefits through Wang Yonghua? That was indeed a possible method.

Chen Guangda didn't think anything of it. Although Li Xiuyuan hadn't met him before the bidding process, he still knew the rules.

He won't shortchange Li Xiuyuan on his share.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. I'm just trying to make a living by working for Mayor Li. I would be extremely grateful if you would be willing to give me a chance to cooperate," Wang Yonghua said with a smile.

He learned the results of the bidding at noon today. He thought that Li Xiuyuan had not made any moves and was going to lose to Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng. But to his surprise, Li Xiuyuan actually won.

Regardless of how much money one can make by participating in the second phase of the project, the key is to prove oneself.

“Alright, since you two can chat, then you two chat. I happen to have something to do. You two chat, and we’ll have dinner together later.” Li Xiuyuan said, standing up. He would only give an introduction to these matters and wouldn’t get involved in the whole process, so as not to give anyone a handle to use against him.

Chen Guangda smiled and nodded, then stood up to see Li Xiuyuan off, thinking to himself, "This Li Xiuyuan may be young, but he's quite cautious."

As soon as Li Xiuyuan left, Chen Guangda and Wang Yonghua started chatting. Chen Guangda originally thought that Wang Yonghua was just a channel to transfer benefits to Li Xiuyuan. Who would have thought that Wang Yonghua could actually bring in construction machinery?

But Wang Yonghua took it very seriously.

"Mr. Chen, since you're willing to give us a chance to cooperate, why don't you come to our company tomorrow? Our entire range of construction machinery has been prepared for the second phase of the project and can be delivered at any time. We can discuss the price then..."
