Chapter 214 Government Affairs Contacts
Qin Zhuoran played with Meng Yitong's little hand and whispered, "Maybe we need to ask the government to intervene."
As soon as Qin Zhuoran finished speaking, Meng Yitong knew that he and she were thinking the same thing.
"Do you know anyone?"
Meng Yitong asked with surprise.
This feeling of being in sync is really great.
"300 million. I can just talk to the local government about it."
The Qin Group has a department specifically responsible for government relations, so Qin Zhuoran doesn't need to deal with those trivial matters himself.
Some of the more important government meetings and social events were usually attended by Qin's father.
Although Qin Zhuoran was already used to this process, he didn't really know anyone there.
Seeing Meng Yitong's suspicious eyes, Qin Zhuoran coughed uncomfortably and said, "Although I don't know the person in charge in this regard, I can find them with a phone call."
Qin Zhuoran has now begun to miss the admiring look that Meng Yitong used to give him.
It’s a pity that Meng Yitong is no longer a student in the ivory tower.
In order to maintain his image in front of Meng Yitong, Qin Zhuoran took his mobile phone decisively and made a call.
When Meng Yitong saw Qin Zhuoran making a phone call, she widened her eyes and looked at Qin Zhuoran with anticipation.
The call was connected soon. When Qin Zhuoran called out "Dad", the little stars in Meng Yitong's eyes disappeared again.
Well, if I want to ask Qin's father for help, I can find them with just one phone call.
Seeing that Meng Yitong was also listening to his call, Qin Zhuoran simply turned on the speaker of his phone.
After Qin Zhuoran told his father about the general situation, he looked down at the top of Meng Yitong's head, and then asked hesitantly: "Should we go visit him?"
Father Qin was surprised to hear his son's words.
In the past, Zhuoran had always been very averse to such business entertainment.
It's really rare to hear him mention this matter on his own initiative.
Although his intention is good, isn't this project of 300 million a bit too small?
Father Qin really felt that such a small project was not worth finding the minister.
After hesitating for a while, Father Qin still sincerely suggested: "Everything else is easy to deal with, it's just this amount... um..."
Although Qin's father did not say it directly, Qin Zhuoran and Meng Yitong both understood what Qin's father meant.
Meng Yitong frowned at Qin Zhuoran threateningly.
Although the 300 million yuan is nothing compared to the Qin family's big project, Meng Yitong would not allow it. They looked down on the money because it was too little.
Seeing Meng Yitong's threatening look, Qin Zhuoran cleared his throat and said to his father, "300 million is not a small amount. It's enough to build 1,500 schools."
Qin Zhuoran said this while giving Meng Yitong a faint smile.
When Mr. Qin heard his son's words, he immediately knew that his daughter-in-law was right next to him.
Father Qin, who was caught speaking ill of others, was a little embarrassed. After clearing his throat, he said loudly, "Yitong! This 300 million project is indeed not enough for the whole country! I think you should add some more from the Qin Foundation!"
"If the budget is not enough, just ask Zhuoran to give you some more!"
It is definitely not realistic to ask the Meng family for money, so let the Qin family pay for it.
Although Qin's father had good intentions, Meng Yitong couldn't accept it this time.
This was originally a charity project of the Meng family. If the Qin family suddenly invested a large sum of money into it, who would be able to see the Meng family's involvement in this matter?
By then, the Meng family’s last charity gala would really become a joke.
Father Qin felt a little embarrassed after hearing Meng Yitong's refusal.
He really didn't want to go to the minister for this little bit of money!
"Haha, how about that, Zhuoran, you should let Manager Xiao help Yitong!"
After thinking about it, Qin's father decided to hand the matter over to Manager Xiao of the Qin Group's Government Affairs Department.
It is better to let Manager Xiao handle such small matters, so that he doesn't have to go to his superiors and then pass the matter down layer by layer, which will save a lot of trouble in the process.
As Father Qin thought about this, his voice became more certain.
"That's it, I'll have Manager Xiao call you later."
After Qin's father finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Meng Yitong looked at Qin's father's hurried appearance and couldn't help but teasing Qin Zhuoran: "A phone call?"
Qin Zhuoran knew that Meng Yitong was joking about what he had said before, that one could find someone with just one phone call.
Looking at Meng Yitong's eyes filled with stars, Qin Zhuoran couldn't help but laugh along.
At this moment, Meng Yitong's cell phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, Meng Yitong blinked uncertainly, then clicked the speaker and answered the call.
As soon as the call was connected, a calm middle-aged male voice came out: "Hello, Mrs. Qin, I am Xiao Ruikai, the head of the government affairs department of Qin Group."
"Hello." Meng Yitong said and gave Qin Zhuoran a proud look.
Meng Yitong did not expect that it was Qin's father who asked Manager Xiao to contact her.
"Mrs. Qin, I heard from Mr. Qin that you have some government matters and need me to contact them, right?"
"Yes, we want to do a public welfare project here, with a budget of 300 million yuan, and plan to build 1,500 primary and secondary schools in poor mountainous areas."
"I want you to find a way to communicate with the local government and see if they can increase the number of local teachers in these schools."
"This?" Xiao Ruikai was surprised when he heard it.
Although he has always been the person in charge of Qin Group's government affairs.
But he has always been involved in business matters.
This was actually his first time doing charity work.
"This, may the foundation know more about it?" Xiao Ruikai didn't quite understand how this kind of thing ended up in his hands.
Although he could do it, it was not within his job scope.
Moreover, after this line was expanded, it had little relevance to his subsequent work.
After hearing this, Meng Yitong couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
The Qin Foundation previously had a position specifically responsible for government affairs.
But in later work, Meng Yitong discovered that this person was just a figurehead.
Getting a high salary but basically not having to do anything.
During the investigation, it was even discovered that this person had taken kickbacks.
In a fit of rage, Meng Yitong directly cancelled the position.
After all, they are a non-profit organization, and almost every one of their projects involves external donations.
In this case, why do we need government affairs personnel who are specifically responsible for maintaining relations with government agencies?
Just find an administrative specialist to get these things done.
It is precisely because of Meng Yitong's order that the Qin Foundation has not had a staff member specifically responsible for government affairs in the past two years.
