After the two sides parted ways, Chen Guangda finally had the mind to sort out the results of this bid. This bid came out of nowhere. Although Guangda Construction Company was capable, capability was never the reason for winning a bid.
Before today, he had no connections in the central town, and he inexplicably won the bid. He must find out the reason for winning the bid.
Li Xiuyuan led his men back to the town government. Although it was already time to start work, he had drunk alcohol at noon and planned to rest for a while before going directly to Meilin Village for a meeting.
Meanwhile, after hearing that Li Xiuyuan and the others had returned, Zhang Xingguo immediately called Ma Tao and asked him to come to his office. Hou Peng was also keeping an eye on whether Qi Weihua had returned and was preparing to talk to Qi Weihua again.
Zhang Xingguo still has Kang Yong's support today, but after Qi Weihua supported Li Xiuyuan, he became a lone figure at the town party committee meeting.
Ma Tao knew he couldn't avoid this matter and had to give Zhang Xingguo an explanation. He couldn't tell the truth, but he had to make his stance clear. So after receiving Zhang Xingguo's call, Ma Tao first went to Li Xiuyuan to ask for his opinion on whether he should go to Zhang Xingguo's place.
If Li Xiuyuan doesn't agree, then he won't go.
From today onwards, he has no way out.
Or rather, after kneeling down to Li Xiuyuan and writing the statement a few days ago, there was no turning back.
Li Xiuyuan had just lain down in his dormitory when he saw Ma Tao coming to see him. He smiled and said, "Since Secretary Zhang is looking for you, then you should go. This is something you have to face eventually. You can't avoid it. You'll see each other all the time, and you'll have work-related interactions with him."
Ma Tao nodded. He understood. The key point of Li Xiuyuan's words was the last sentence: from now on, he and Zhang Xingguo would only have work-related interactions.
“Okay, Mayor Li, you rest now. I’ll go and explain things to Comrade Zhang Xingguo,” Ma Tao said.
Li Xiuyuan laughed. This Ma Tao was quite a character. The key point was in the last sentence, "explain it to Comrade Zhang Xingguo" rather than "explain it to Secretary Zhang".
After seeing Ma Tao off, Li Xiuyuan went to bed to rest.
Ma Tao quickly arrived at Zhang Xingguo's office. Zhang Xingguo had a gloomy face and watched Ma Tao enter without saying a word, just staring intently at Ma Tao.
Ma Tao braced himself and asked, "Secretary Zhang, is there something you need from me?"
"What's up?" Zhang Xingguo almost laughed in anger. "What do I need you for? Do you really not know?"
"I don't know." Ma Tao shook his head, deciding to play dumb for now. He felt that his attitude was clear enough, and Zhang Xingguo didn't need to press for details. Wouldn't it be better to save face for both sides?
But Zhang Xingguo was in a bad mood at the time. He spent a long time explaining to Deputy Director Chang at noon, but Deputy Director Chang only said coldly, "I know. Your central town's bidding is fair and just, which is good. You are doing a good job as secretary."
Zhang Xingguo knew that he had not only gained nothing, but had also offended someone, and the culprit was Ma Tao. However, Ma Tao was still pretending to be ignorant and unaware of the situation.
“Fine, you don’t know what I’m telling you, we agreed to bid for Zhengda Company this morning, so why did you support Li Xiuyuan?” Zhang Xingguo questioned Ma Tao with a gloomy expression.
