They just had to put that label on themselves.
"Li Xiuyuan's methods are quite shrewd." Wang Qidong glanced at Chen Guangda, and his suspicions about Chen Guangda lessened somewhat.
He knew Chen Guangda well; he was capable in business, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to build such a large business. However, he had no talent for political struggles within the system.
"By the way, Li Xiuyuan hinted that you shouldn't tell anyone about this kind of thing," Wang Qidong instructed.
"Then, Minister Qidong, are we just going to take the blame for this?" Chen Guangda asked, frowning.
Wang Qidong smiled. This was why he said Chen Guangda lacked political acumen. Did he think he could simply refuse to take the blame? From the moment you won the bid in the central town, you had no way out.
Previously, Li Xiuyuan asked you to report him, and you thought you could get away with it by refusing. But in reality, you might as well have just agreed. Because once Li Xiuyuan said it, you would have to take the blame, whether you wanted to or not.
Economic activities and politics are inseparable, especially when the project is contracted to the government. It is even more inseparable from politics. You can't expect to make money without putting in any effort.
"Do you have evidence to prove that Li Xiuyuan reported Wang Zhixing in your company's name? Or do you have evidence to prove that Li Xiuyuan hinted at it to you? Or even if you have evidence, can you produce it?"
"Naive!" Wang Qidong uttered two words, walked out of the empty private room, and headed towards the private room where Li Xiuyuan and Wang Zhitao were. Chen Guangda was stunned for a long time before quickly following him.
The moment Wang Qidong pushed open the door to the private room, his face was full of enthusiastic smiles.
Li Xiuyuan also jumped up from his chair and strode towards Wang Qidong.
"Minister Wang, welcome, welcome."
"Xiuyuan, it's been a while. How are you doing in Central Town?" Wang Qidong asked with a smile as he shook hands with Li Xiuyuan. He was the one who escorted Li Xiuyuan to take up his post in Central Town.
"Thank you for your concern, Minister Wang." Li Xiuyuan expressed his gratitude first. He knew that he couldn't just come up with something like "it's fine" or "not bad" right away. He had to express his thanks first. After expressing his gratitude, Li Xiuyuan continued, "The work in the central town is progressing smoothly. I have to thank Minister Wang for sending me to take up my post. The leaders of the town's Party committee and government have been very supportive of my work."
Wang Qidong smiled broadly. This was Li Xiuyuan. Even after going to the central town, his speaking skills hadn't declined. Back when he was a secretary in the county government office, even the secretary spoke highly of Li Xiuyuan. He could attribute credit to the leader in just three sentences. Who wouldn't like a subordinate like that?
"Haha, it's mainly because you're capable. I saw the news about the completion of the first phase of the Meilin Village project a while ago; it was done very well." Wang Qidong waved his hand with a smile and then walked towards the head of the table. He didn't need to be polite at all at this kind of dinner.
Li Xiuyuan sat down next to Wang Qidong before introducing Wang Zhitao to him.
"Minister Wang, this is Wang Zhitao, the director of the Economic Development Office of our central town. He was previously transferred from the county government office."
"Hello, Minister Wang," Wang Zhitao quickly stood up and said.
Wang Qidong smiled and nodded: "Yes, hello, please have a seat. You went there last winter, right?"
