Shanyue doesn't know what's going on

Chapter 33

Xiangyuan still bought a hard-seat train ticket for the return journey, and slowly swayed back to City G along the winding railroad tracks. She arrived at the company almost at the same time as her, and the invitation letter issued by China State Construction Engineering Corporation for the steel structure of the Qingyuan Overpass.

China State Construction’s centralized bidding is the largest building materials bidding in South China, and it is known for its strict requirements in the bidding process, but once the bidding is successful, the project volume is large and the profits are considerable, although in the past it would also be published on the bidding website Bidding information, but the actual winning bid is often limited to one of the units that has received a formal invitation to bid.Although Jiang Yuan once undertook a sporadic processing task of China State Construction Engineering Corp., he had the advantage of being in the same city. It was the first time he had received this invitation letter. Therefore, Xiang Yuan’s trip to Yunnan can be said to be a disheartened trip. return.

Jiang Yuan's colleagues originally had different opinions about her origin and identity. This time, she was a young woman who walked alone in Kunming with 4000 yuan in her pocket, and brought back what Ye Binglin had longed for for many years. One day at work, she walked through the company's office corridor, listening to the compliments from her colleagues, and seeing the warm eyes exchanged, she knew what was being said in the silent dialogue.But Xiang Yuan didn't care, and didn't intend to explain. For her, the reputation is false, and the benefits are real.

Ye Bingwen also praised Xiang Yuan in front of everyone at the meeting for giving a vivid lesson to the company's marketing and sales staff by "acting personally". She pretended to be puzzled and just laughed without saying a word.She neither takes credit for being arrogant, nor is she humble but condescending, and she handles it so calmly, which makes gossiping people feel that it is meaningless.

Only Qian Ze in the company is really happy for her. Compared with the interests of his own company, he is more like purely happy from the bottom of his heart for Xiang Yuan's successful return. When he said "I know there is nothing difficult to stop you" At that time, the little pride made Xiang Yuan feel for a moment that the boy standing in front of him was the boy who failed his final exam many years ago, but was more excited than anyone else when he saw his friend get the highest score in the class. .She shook her head and said, "It's just an invitation letter. More than a dozen manufacturers have received it, and they are still far away from winning the bid." But the slightly raised corners of her mouth inadvertently revealed the little joy that had been suppressed before.

At the sales staff meeting that month, Xiang Yuan rejected the management bonus given to her by the company for the first time, but asked to follow up the bidding task that was not in the area she was in charge of.The manager of the marketing department was in charge of the South China region. In the end, Ye Qianze asked Ye Binglin in the hospital to formally authorize Xiang Yuan to be in charge of this bidding on the grounds that Xiang Yuan had dealt with China State Construction Engineering Corp. and it was easier to communicate during the bidding process. Two young marketing assistants were transferred to her from other markets to assist her in her work.

After personally going to China Construction to buy back the bidding documents, Xiang Yuan and the two girls who assisted her began to prepare the bidding documents non-stop. Although the contents of the bidding documents required by China Construction were cumbersome and strict, Xiang Yuan followed Shen Ju'an For two years, I have been familiar with this job. The only thing that I can't handle is that Jiang Yuan doesn't have a team like Yongkai. The two assistants have just graduated from university for about a year. The carelessness of young people is a big taboo in the bidding preparation work. The most frightening thing for Xiang Yuan is that once she found that the official seal was not stamped on the quotation form that the little girl was about to package. It may mean that the entire bidding document is invalid. In desperation, she has to personally do the slightly important things. While teaching them, she has to check again and again.The little girl repeatedly apologized to her with shame, she sighed and said: "It's okay, you are just too young." When she said this, she remembered that in terms of age, she was actually not much older than them, but why did she She has never experienced such frizz and ignorance, could it be that she has never been young?When she was a child, she had to allow herself to grow into an adult.

She expressed doubts about why Qianze assigned these two hairy girls to her, but after a while, she began to understand his good intentions.The entire Jiangyuan is like an old car, with a big frame, high fuel consumption, and extremely slow speed.It's not that there are people who can do things, but most of the positions are not lower than her. How can they be willing to listen to her dispatch? Those ordinary employees have already left work early after 03:30 in the afternoon.At least those two girls could work overtime with her for a week until the early morning with red eyes. Once, in order to bind the tender documents, they begged the eldest sister in the logistics department to delay home cooking for two hours. He did something vicious enough to damage Yin Gong.

Of course, these are tolerable and negligible. What really made Xiang Yuan so angry that he almost gnawed his teeth before restraining himself was that China Construction clearly required that bidding units must have the second-level qualification standard for construction steel structure engineering processing. Xiang Yuan had confirmed to the Jiangyuan Enterprise Management Department that the company had the qualification in advance, but at the final stage of making the tender, when she asked the Enterprise Management Department for a copy of the qualification certificate, the director of the Enterprise Management Department patted her head and told her that Jiang Yuan was just After passing the second-level qualification certification, half a year has passed, and the qualification certificate from the certification center has not yet been received.

The director of the enterprise management department repeatedly emphasized that the company has indeed passed the certification, but there is no certificate for the time being. Xiang Yuan was speechless on the spot. She believed it, but could the bidding unit also believe it?Without qualification certificates, everything is in vain.She didn't have an attack, because it was a waste of any saliva to the head of the department who had passed such an important certification for half a year and didn't know what stage the certificate had reached. She would rather focus on finding another way.

She called the certification center, and they replied that due to the batch arrangement, Jiang Yuan's certificate would not be issued until 20 days at the earliest, and at that time there were only 10 days left before the bid opening date, so Xiang Yuan and Ye Qianze went to Started the process of running around for this thin piece of paper, looking for the certification center, treating guests, eating, giving gifts, begging for mercy, looking for higher authorities, treating guests again, eating again, giving gifts again, and begging for mercy... The longest record is that they In order to make an appointment with a director of the Quality Association, the two waited in his office for a full eight hours on a working day.In the end, after spending countless manpower, money, energy and time, the certification certificate was finally held by Xiang Yuan two days before the bid opening. At that time, she held the paper with mixed feelings.Ye Qianze took a long breath and asked, Xiang Yuan, what are you thinking.Xiang Yuan said, I only have two words - excited.How could she tell him, in fact, at that moment, she thought for the first time in her heart, if Jiang Yuan was her story, if!
On the eve of the bid opening, Xiang Yuan let the two girls go home to rest, and stayed in the office to verify and confirm the information repeatedly. She could accept failure, but she couldn't bear negligence.However, when she thought of the word "failure", she knew that the failure of the bidding was commonplace, and she could not help but anticipate the gains and losses.

On the second day, Xiang Yuan and two assistants went to the bidding site. Ye Binglin, who had been ill for a long time and had limited mobility, struggled and asked Qian Ze to push him in a wheelchair. He booked a room in a hotel near the China Construction headquarters and waited for it. There have been idle equipment and personnel in steel structure workshops, and they are looking forward to rain after a long drought.

Half a day later, when the bidding results came out, Xiang Yuan returned to the room where Uncle Ye was. Looking at the old man with a rosy face and bright eyes due to anticipation, she thought she was still calm because of those simple words. Pause hard.

The light in the old man's eyes faded little by little, and the contrast of disappointment made him look older.There are three bidding packages in total, and the 2 bidding manufacturers are sorted according to their comprehensive scores. The No. [-] is undoubtedly China Construction’s own tertiary building materials manufacturer. No.[-] is a large factory in Nanjing. The third bidding package It was taken away by a building materials manufacturer in this city that had just been established a few years ago. Xiang Yuan was still holding the business card of the person in charge of the manufacturer. Zhang Tianran, her alumni, was said to be a relative of Mrs. Ouyang's natal family.Jiang Yuan was ranked fourth by one point, and missed the processing task that would fill the entire first half of next year. In fact, she couldn't help but admit that even if Zhang Tianran was not a relative of Ouyang's family, she might not have won him. That new factory has one-third of Jiangyuan's staff, but twice its output.If you lose, you lose.

When the bid was opened, the two little girls hugged each other and cried on the spot. No wonder they were worthless. They had to work overtime for so many days. Just for this day, just asking for the process without the result is nonsense.However, Xiang Yuan was so busy consoling the two girls who attracted the audience's attention that he forgot what he was thinking at the moment the result was announced.

She squatted beside Ye Binglin's wheelchair and said sorry softly.Ye Binglin stopped her apology, patted the back of her hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, sighed, and said that the hospital was still waiting to give him physical therapy.

Xiang Yuan and Ye Qianze sent the old man back to the hospital together. After sitting for a while, they said goodbye and returned to the company.After eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the company were all turned off. Xiang Yuan squatted in the office, picking up the waste paper on the floor one by one. This is what I learned from Shen Ju'an when I was making bids. Even if it is too late to shred useless things , nor can it leave it on the desktop.But now it's not just the things under her feet that have become waste paper, but also the tenders that she thought were hopeful a day ago.

She stacked the A4 papers scattered all over the floor neatly in her hands. She never expected that there were so many. Half of them were not finished, when the lights in the aisle were turned on, and she heard the sound of shoes stepping on the paper.

"Xiang Yuan, are you okay?" She knew it was him.

Xiang Yuan kept squatting and looked up at Ye Qianze, "It's okay, it's not the first time I didn't win the bid, it's just a pity for these papers."

Ye Qianze took a few steps on the paper, the rustling sound made him feel a little hard to settle, so he also squatted down, looking at Yu Xiangyuan's eyes, "My father and I know that you have done a lot, and it is not you who did not win the bid." problem." He shrugged, "For Jiangyuan now, it is not easy to rank fourth among the [-] major domestic factories."

Xiang Yuan smiled and said, "To be honest, if you don't win the bid, there is no difference between No.4 and the last place."

Her hands were still moving, Ye Qianze took the stacked paper from her hand, "It's so tiring to squat." He simply sat on the waste paper, and then patted the place beside him.

Xiang Yuan straightened up, turned his head to look away, and laughed.

"Sit with me," he said.

"Sitting back hurts."

Ye Qianze grabbed her hand and pulled it down, "Sit down."

"Okay, okay." She made a gesture of surrender, and pulled her hand out of his palm. No matter how embarrassed a person is when he is unlucky, it doesn't feel good.

Reluctantly sitting cross-legged beside him, Xiang Yuan said, "It's time to start, Father, where do we start, outlook on life, values ​​or how to better face setbacks?"

Ye Qianze said seriously, "Then let's talk about what happens when we are unhappy." He laughed as he said it himself.

Xiang Yuan squinted at him, "When you're unhappy, don't you just toss the pumpkins at Uncle Li's house."

When he was a child, Uncle Li’s second son always bullied him, pushing him to the ground, and he couldn’t cry in front of his mother when he fell in pain. Later, Xiang Yuan saw him and took him to the pumpkin patch of Uncle Li’s house, where the pick was as big as two fists. Cut a hole in the pumpkin, dig a hole in it, stuff the dead mouse in it, and carefully sew the lid back on.The young pumpkin grows strong, and the incision will heal in a short time. The two found the melon and removed the thread. A few months later, they heard Uncle Li's scream when he cut the pumpkin, and all the unhappiness was laughed away.

Ye Qianze couldn't help laughing, "That was all your ghost idea, and it all happened when I was young, it's long gone."

Xiang Yuan smiled and repeated, "Yes, it's long gone."

"After studying, my dad told me that when encountering unhappy things, I should think, 'Heaven has given me a great responsibility, and everyone is here'." What about the day when you are unlucky enough to die?"

"Nonsense." Xiang Yuan scolded with a smile. "Why do you brothers go to two extremes? Your younger brother Ye Yun said that when he was sad, as long as he saw the sun the next day, he would feel that what happened yesterday was a nightmare, and the sunrise would dissipate."

"I was joking with you, Xiang Yuan. Do you remember that Wang Yangming once said, 'When you haven't seen this flower, this flower and your heart will die together, and when you look at this flower, the color of this flower will be clear for a moment When you wake up, you will know that this flower is not outside your heart.’ In fact, sometimes I feel that people’s sorrow, joy, love, and hatred are all like this flower. You open your eyes and see it, and it exists. It can be regarded as nothingness. If you think this way, you can be relieved, there is really no need to be too persistent."

Xiang Yuan sneered, "You have become a Buddha. In my opinion, if that flower is real, even if you close your eyes for the rest of your life, it will bloom as it should, and you should thank it."

"Then at least I won't be sad when it thanks."

"I don't have your realm."

"Then how do you get yourself to relax?"

Xiang Yuan said, "Relieved? If I am unhappy, I will never be relieved. The past will pass, but I will never forget it. I will remember every bit of it in my heart. Looking back for many years, it seems to be alive."

"You are not such a person." Ye Qianze shook his head, "You are the smartest and open-minded girl I have ever seen."

"A smart and open-minded girl." Xiang Yuan repeated, the faint sarcasm on his face was for himself or for his words, "Qian Ze, do you think you understand me?"

"At least I know that you are not someone who will stay where you are because of disappointment, just like your name, go far, go to the farthest place, go farther than us."

Xiang Yuan was inexplicably disappointed. He didn't know that the reason why she wouldn't stay, but got up after falling down, was not because of open-mindedness or bravery, but because she was afraid to take another look at the one who tripped her. place.

"Thank you for your explanation, Qian Ze." She stood up.

Ye Qianze smiled wryly, "But this is probably a failed solution."
