The reason why Niu Haixin was able to get this position was not just because he owed a favor to the Kang family.
In order to reach an agreement with other competitors, he had to make various concessions and promises.
For example, he had already agreed with several people on how to distribute the money in the Shanghai guesthouse account.
It's nothing more than an exchange of interests. Supporting him to get promoted is exchanged for transferring most of the money to other departments to do other things that can make achievements or simply to fill holes for others.
There are so many things that can be used to exchange interests in Shanghai.
Even before the document announcing Niu Haixin's succession was issued, he was already very busy.
For example, the twelve private rooms that were built magnificently but had never been occupied by anyone.
Several people with connections in the Corps’ internal units have already made an agreement with Niu Haixin that they will have a good meal of foreign food next time they go to Shanghai, and the price must be the real internal price!
Niu Haixin easily agreed to pay three cents a night.
This made Niu Haixin have a pretty good reputation in the Corps for a while.
Some people even think that Niu Haixin is indeed better than Zhang Hongcheng in this regard.
In Niu Haixin's opinion, only those with shortsightedness would try to take advantage of accommodation.
Those who are truly cunning have their eyes on the properties in Shanghai where the Corps’ guesthouse is located.
The two buildings of the guesthouse headquarters have been coveted by many people.
Since it is to be upgraded to a Shanghai office, each unit has reason to send institutional representatives to the office.
There should be no problem for one department to occupy one or two offices.
Then there were the eight rooms that Zhang Hongcheng earned for the Corps.
Of course, they never thought about living there themselves. They used the Corps' assets to do favors for others and "borrowed" them for their connections and friends in Shanghai to live there.
Niu Haixin seemed to be quite good at manipulating others. On the surface, he politely refused, but in private he had already reached an agreement with many people.
Niu Haixin sometimes sneered in his heart.
He heard that Zhang Hongcheng had a lot of connections in Shanghai, but with the eight rooms he got, he could also build a network of relationships in Shanghai in advance.
If Xiao Zhang knew about this, he would probably be furious...
Niu Haixin is checking the list of all personnel at the guesthouse in Shanghai.
Except for a few regular employees, almost all the others are temporary workers, and most of them are young women.
"No wonder those guys wanted to find me to act as a matchmaker," Niu Haixin's heart, which had remained calm for years, couldn't help but stir when he saw the black and white photos of these female employees. "These beautiful women, I know at first glance that Zhang Hongcheng is definitely not a good person!"
Especially Zhang Hongcheng's girlfriend Chu Miaohong. No wonder some people have been thinking about her and even trying to make him find a way to break up the couple.
"Huff, huff, huff," Niu Haixin said, loosening the screws a little anxiously. "This girl from Shanghai is indeed of good quality, but if you want me, Old Liu, to act as a matchmaker for you, the price I mentioned earlier won't do!"
…
The Corps Headquarters appointed Niu Haixin to replace Zhang Hongcheng in handling the affairs of the Shanghai Office and the Guesthouse because they were impressed by Niu Haixin's communication skills.
In their view, with old comrades like Niu Haixin around, at least the work in Shanghai will not come to a standstill.
As long as Niu Haixin can take control of the main business, he will be able to surpass the young man Zhang Hongcheng on the surface.
As to whether there would be any problems with the guesthouses in Shanghai, the incoming Minister Kang scoffed at the idea.
During this period, Zhang Hongcheng will return to the Northeast and be hidden away, where he will farm and cultivate his character.
If the problem in Shanghai is really serious, the position of deputy director of the guesthouse in Shanghai will be enough to bring peace of mind to this young man.
Even at that time, even if he was the director of the guesthouse, it was not impossible for him to give it, because he had Niu Haixin, the director of the Shanghai office, to put pressure on him.
Minister Kang Shumao believed that with his many years of experience in commanding subordinates, it would not be easy to deal with a young man in his early twenties.
Even if that young man finds connections and wants to be transferred, he won't be able to go anywhere unless he agrees.
Even if Old Li, who is about to retire, has some objections, he still has something to say.
He will not demote Zhang Hongcheng, but will give him an important task.
I heard that the Fourth Division of the Corps encountered another setback in its wetland development efforts.
It shouldn't be considered unfair for a genuine educated youth company commander who leads a team to develop wetlands!
hehe.
Liu Haixin swore that in all his years of work, he had never acted as quickly as he did now.
In just three days, he rushed to Shanghai with two people.
This young man, Zhang Hongcheng, is much more cunning than he imagined.
When the two met, they were both smiling and very friendly.
Until Niu Haixin came to the rumored "magnificent" Northeast Construction Corps Guesthouse in Shanghai.
Niu Haixin and two other people stayed at the door of the guesthouse and did not dare to take a step inside.
Could this two-story building in front of me be the rumored guesthouse with two buildings?
Mottled walls, withered ivy, muddy corridors, yellow and black curtains and windows covered with cobwebs.
The lobby of the guesthouse was dark and gloomy, like a ghost town, with only a dim electric light hanging there.
Before people even enter, a rotten smell and pungent steam hit them in the face.
Even the waiters standing behind the half-worn counter were wearing large masks.
This made Niu Haixin think of a commune guesthouse where he once lived.
Except for the lack of the smell of pig manure and chicken shit, this place is almost a one-to-one replica of the countryside.
