Chapter 1473 A Good Bird Chooses a Tree to Roost in (Updated Later)
"Xiao Feng! Have you finalized the contract with Honghua Company?"
"I haven't finished it yet. Some parts of this bid document are unclear, so I need some time."
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little nervous, like a student who was daydreaming in class and was suddenly called by the teacher to answer a question.
"Not very clear? What's not clear? Forget it, come up here!"
"Oh, okay."
Feng Shuyun hurried out and went upstairs to Cong Jinhong's office.
After knocking on the door and entering, Cong Jinhong was not as harsh as Feng Shuyun had expected. Instead, she kindly asked her to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of water, which made Feng Shuyun flattered.
"What's wrong, Xiao Feng? This isn't the first time you've drafted a contract, so why are you so unsure this time?"
"Here's the thing, Mr. Cong. The winning bid is quite vague in some places. For example, regarding the payment schedule for the first phase of the project, the bid simply states that payment must be made before the project is completed. But there's no specific standard for this. We can't just pay them without even doing any work."
Feng Shuyun swallowed her saliva and carefully expressed her doubts, while at the same time she couldn't stop cursing in her heart.
As a non-professional, I feel that there is something wrong with this bid. I don’t know if the experts who evaluated the bid were blind to choose such a bid and bring such trouble to their work.
Cong Jinhong narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Of course we can't just pay them casually. Everything has to follow the rules. I've just talked to Secretary Shang. When the time comes, we can pay according to industry practices. You don't have to worry."
After hearing Cong Jinhong's words, Feng Shuyun immediately understood Cong Jinhong's evil intentions.
Feng Shuyun said it so clearly, but Cong Jinhong didn't directly object. So is there any need to guess what she is thinking?
"You've been talking so much, isn't it just about giving them the money in advance? So you didn't understand what I just said?"
"We're a large corporation after all. You can't ask me to draft a fuzzy contract, right? If something goes wrong, won't you put the blame on me?"
But Feng Shuyun didn't dare to oppose Cong Jinhong, because she was promoted by Cong Jinhong and brought all the way from the southwest to the capital. Her bright future depended on Cong Jinhong.
After Cong Jinhong finished speaking, Feng Shuyun whispered, "Mr. Cong, if the contract isn't clear enough, we might have to pay Honghua several million before the project even begins. Mr. Li might not agree."
Cong Jinhong glanced at Feng Shuyun and said coldly, "Who said we paid millions before we even started? The R&D center at another branch factory has a monthly research budget of millions. Do you think Deputy Team Leader Li cares about a few million?"
Feng Shuyun didn't dare to say anything. Since Jin Hong had called Li Ye "Deputy Team Leader Li", wouldn't she be scolded if she didn't understand the situation?
[Li Ye is the deputy leader of the office building preparation team, and I am the leader. Can't you tell the difference between the big and small Wang?]
At this moment, Cong Jinhong was in a bad mood. If Feng Shuyun continued to be stubborn, she would definitely be scolded and embarrassed.
Seeing Feng Shuyun remained silent, Cong Jinhong smiled and asked, "Xiao Feng! You've been working for two or three years, right?"
Feng Shuyun answered honestly, "Mr. Cong, I've been working for three and a half years."
Cong Jinhong nodded and said, "Yes! It's been more than three years. You've performed very well in the past few years. It's time for you to take on more important responsibilities."
Feng Shuyun suddenly became nervous, feeling that what Jin Hong said to her at this moment seemed to have some meaning of "exchange".
Three and a half years are enough to turn an ignorant college graduate into a cautious workplace slave. When your boss promises you a sweet date, you have to wonder whether you will be slapped in the face next.
Cong Jinhong looked at Feng Shuyun and smiled again, "By the way, last time you said your brother wanted to work in our group?"
Feng Shuyun was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, he didn't get into high school, so he doesn't meet our unit's hiring standards."
Cong Jinhong waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with graduating from junior high school? Many of our Southwest Heavy Duty Truck executives only graduated from elementary school! I'll make some arrangements for you today."
Feng Shuyun felt sick in her heart because Jin Hong's naked threat was so disgusting.
Feng Shuyun was admitted to university from the countryside and became the golden phoenix of the surrounding villages. Then her father pestered her every day to find a job for her younger brother so that he could also leave the countryside and eat the government food.
Feng Shuyun told her father that Southwest Heavy Duty Truck's performance was not good right now, and if she really became a worker, she might be worse off than a farmer.
But no matter what, Feng Shuyun's father was stubborn and pestered Feng Shuyun every day, insisting that his son be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural status in 1993. Feng Shuyun, his daughter, was also convinced.
If she dared to say no to help now, her brother's job would definitely be ruined.
"This contract is urgent. How about this? I'll work overtime with you tonight and try to get it reviewed by Secretary Shang tomorrow morning."
“Okay, okay!”
Faced with Cong Jinhong's aggressiveness, Feng Shuyun could only agree helplessly.
The two worked hard most of the night until dawn, when they finally drafted an ambiguous contract, which was then locked in the safe by Jinhong.
"Go home and take a day off today! I'll give you leave. If anyone asks, just say the contract hasn't been drafted yet."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Feng Shuyun dragged her tired body home from get off work, and the more she walked, the more certain she became that she would probably become the scapegoat.
Although Li Ye is the deputy leader of the office building preparatory group and Cong Jinhong is the leader, Feng Shuyun has seen Li Ye's dominance in recent days and knows who has the final say.
If Li Ye's opinion conflicts with Jin Hong's, then he will definitely be in trouble if he is caught in the middle.
Now it is obvious from Jin Hong that she wants to sign the contract without telling Li Ye, it would be strange if Li Ye is not angry.
The rumors about Li Ye have been circulating in the group headquarters recently and are quite mysterious. Li Ye is a ruthless person who would send people to jail to eat steamed buns at any time.
Feng Shuyun sat at the bus stop on the side of the road, confused and dazed. She got on and left several buses that arrived at the station.
She thought about the hardship she had endured studying for ten years, and the difficulties she faced after graduating and starting work. What if everything suddenly went back to zero?
"No, this won't work."
Feng Shuyun suddenly made a bold decision.
She walked back a distance and stood at the intersection near Jingnan Group.
The intersection has a wide view and you can see cars coming from four directions. Li Ye's Mercedes-Benz is very eye-catching and can be seen from a long distance.
At 7:50, Li Ye's Benz arrived on time, and Feng Shuyun hurried over to wave.
[A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Everyone says Li Ye is cruel and ruthless, but no one says Li Ye treats his subordinates badly!]
