I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"What did Xu Damao whisper to you?" Yan Bugui was still upset about what happened just now.

"What else can I say, Dad? I've already paid the ten yuan rent. Shouldn't you share some of the rent with me?" Influenced by Xu Damao's words, Yan Jiecheng directly made a request.

The room fell silent instantly.

At this moment, the two of them were like tenants in this house, and Yan Jiecheng's identity as a rent payer seemed to be even more superior.

"Are you going to make a scene?" Yan Bugui frowned, not wanting to lose his dignity in front of his son.

"Whatever you think, just remember, from today on, this is the house I rent!" Although Yan Jiecheng did not want to have a complete breakup on this issue, he was firm in his attitude.

Yan Bugui could only snort coldly and said nothing more.

Yan Jiecheng returned to the house and told Yu Li what had happened, and she had no objection.

After all, having lost his house and being in debt, he might never be able to recover if he doesn’t find another way out.

Before leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao asked his third uncle to get a certificate.

Afterwards, he took Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng away from the place.

At the same time, Su Meng also encountered many setbacks in the Construction Bureau.

She came to participate in the bidding, but found that this bidding was conducted in the form of internal invitation.

The information has been published in newspapers before. Construction companies are required to submit application documents on their own initiative, and will only be invited to participate in the bidding after being reviewed and approved.

Although the invitation list has not yet been made public, according to information obtained from Uncle Liu, Jinsheng Construction Company is not on the internal invitation list.

In order to be included in the invitation list, Su Meng had to use connections and find ways everywhere, and gave many gifts, but she was never able to get in touch with the person who really had the decision-making power.

If she can't even get the qualification to bid, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

At this time, in the office of the director of the Construction Bureau, Lou Xiao'e was talking with Director Wang.

"Mr. Lou, why don't you just hand over the Qiu Ding Commercial Building to your Chenze Construction Company? Why do you have to conduct an open tender?" Director Wang expressed confusion.

As the director of the Construction Bureau, he was well aware of the strength of various construction companies in the city, and among them, Chen Zelian Construction Company was undoubtedly the strongest.

According to his estimation, he could have reached a direct cooperation with Lou Xiao'e and handed over the Qiu Ding Commercial Building project to them for construction.

However, Lou Xiao'e insisted on proposing an open tender, which left Director Wang puzzled: Which business would refuse business that came to its doorstep and instead push it into the market?

"Director Wang, I am also considering the overall interests of the city. If we privately select Chenze Construction Company, can other officials in the Construction Bureau also choose the company they like? We must remember that our country is a country of the people, and fairness and justice must be reflected in many aspects!"

"Moreover, adding this link can also boost the confidence of other construction companies in Sijiu City. You don't want to see Sijiu City become silent, right? If the construction industry wants to progress, there must be competition."

Lou Xiao'e explained her original intention of applying for open bidding.

These words were not her original idea, but the concept taught to her by Ye Ming.

Of course, there are more far-reaching considerations behind Ye Ming's move.

That is to further push up housing prices by introducing capital.

Although she did not have a deep understanding of this, compared to ordinary people, she had been with Ye Ming for a long time and had some understanding of his thinking.

"I was too shallow to guess your lofty ambitions. I originally thought that Mr. Lou was dissatisfied with my offer and was trying to reject it. I didn't expect that you are the one who truly seeks development for Sijiu City!"

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Director Wang couldn't help but express his heartfelt feelings to her.

He had not thought about these aspects before and was still stuck in the traditional way of thinking.

“No, no, I just came back from Hong Kong, and many of the concepts I talk about are borrowed from actual cases. No matter what method is used, as long as it can solve the problem, it is a good method.

I sincerely hope that our country's construction companies can go global!"

Lou Xiao'e's response was just right and her actions were well-founded.

"Mr. Lou is a person who walks at the forefront of the times. While we are still adapting to the pace of change in the world, Mr. Lou is already thinking about how to participate in the competition in the future. I am really ashamed of myself!"

Director Wang showed his humility and quickly realized his own limitations from Lou Xiao'e's words.

"Director Wang, you are too polite. You are the one who makes the rules, and I am just a person who provides advice. If we want to truly open up the situation in Sijiu City, we still need a leading force like you."

"You still say I'm polite. Mr. Lou is a leader in the business world, but he can also think deeply about problems at the grassroots level. An open-minded entrepreneur like you is the pride of our city."

Han Chunming listened to Lou Xiao'e and Director Wang praising each other, and wondered when he could reach Lou Xiao'e's level.

The issues being discussed in the office right now are all completely new perspectives for him.

Director Wang also faces the same confusion and often only focuses on the matters at hand.

He had never thought about some of the views raised by Lou Xiao'e, and he benefited a lot from listening to them.

At the end of the conversation, Lou Xiao'e took Han Chunming away.

When he was about to go downstairs, Han Chunming noticed Su Meng in the corridor.

He knew that Su Meng had established Jinsheng Construction Company. When he saw her here, he remembered the internal invitation list on Director Wang's desk, and Su Meng's company was not on it.

From this, the purpose of Su Meng's trip is self-evident.

At this moment, Han Chunming recalled what Lou Xiao'e said about "giving other construction companies opportunities", and driven by an indescribable impulse, he decided to help.

"Sister Lou, I'm going to the bathroom!"

Han Chunming found an excuse and quickly left the scene.

However, he did go to the bathroom.

Director Wang also needed to satisfy his physiological needs. When Han Chunming left, he noticed that the other party seemed to want to go to the toilet as well, so the two might meet there by chance.

"Director Wang!"

"Oh? Are you Mr. Lou's assistant?"

Director Wang had some impression of Han Chunming.

"Yes, my name is Han Chunming!"

Han Chunming responded enthusiastically.

"Not bad, you are so young and you can work for Mr. Lou. Your future is limitless!"

Director Wang praised Han Chunming.

"No, no, I can't keep up with Sister Lou's pace.

I just heard her say there is a construction company called Jinsheng that has great potential, I don’t know what the situation is.”

"Jin Sheng?"

Director Wang also repeated the name in confusion.

At this point, both of them had completed their convenience.

"Director Wang, Sister Lou is still waiting for me. I'm leaving first!"

Han Chunming put on an apologetic smile, packed his clothes and left in a hurry.

He had already tried his best to help once, and the outcome was beyond his control.

On the way downstairs, Han Chunming slapped his face lightly again, feeling that he had been acting stupid again!
