Chapter 301 Thank you in person
Bian Jie looked at Li Youcai and nodded involuntarily, with a gleam of approval in his eyes.
"You're quite good. What you said today was very insightful and even gave me a lot of inspiration."
"It's just a trick. I came up here mainly to say thank you in person. I know you must have spoken up for me, otherwise they wouldn't have reached a unified conclusion so quickly."
When the bid was being made, Bian Jie was in charge. If he hadn't given the order, the people in the project team would never have made a decision so easily. It would have taken a lot of tug-of-war before the winning result was announced.
Moreover, Li Youcai had already sat down at that time, and Director Gong was talking in Bian Jie's ear, and his expression kept changing, all of which Li Youcai saw.
Now that he has successfully won the contract, it is only right for him to come up and thank Bian Jie in person.
"You should thank me for not accepting this award. The reason you were able to win the bid is fundamentally because you were well prepared."
"And you did an excellent job in presenting the bid, especially your point about companies shouldering their due social responsibilities and paying attention to people's livelihoods while developing the economy. These two points are very good!"
Bian Jie took a sip of tea, looked at Li Youcai and said frankly, "I've investigated you. You haven't been to school for many years. You don't like working in the countryside. You like gambling. No, I should say you're addicted to gambling. You're a bad example in the eyes of many people."
"But you were able to control yourself, successfully kicked your gambling addiction, and were brave enough to venture into business. In just one year, you acquired the old flour mill land and established a farmers' market. Honestly, when I saw these two things happen to the same person, I couldn't even believe it."
"I really can't find any reason for your success. In the end, I can only attribute it to bad luck."
"But when I visited your bakery, I found your management was very advanced, and the workers' spirit and energy are something you rarely see even in many large state-owned factories."
"Your forward-thinking vision and excellent management skills, coupled with your innovation and adaptability today, really makes me curious: are you the same person you were two years ago and you are now?"
Bian Jie asked the question in his mind.
Ever since he learned that he had a daughter, he had been investigating them.
Even after finding Chu Xinyan and Li Youcai, he still paid close attention to them, and even sent people to investigate Li Youcai's past.
This completely different performance from before really shocked Bian Jie.
“It’s the same person, and it’s not the same person.”
Facing Bian Jie's question, Li Youcai replied with a smile:
"In the past, everyone was fed from the same pot. Whether you worked more or less, the results were the same. There was no direction for people to move forward. No matter how talented or smart you were, there was no place to use them. Without hope, you could only live day by day."
"After reform and opening up, the country wanted to develop its economy. Although it was a process of feeling its way across the river, it eventually opened up a new corner of the sky. The country allowed some people to get rich first, so why can't I work hard too?"
"So I studied while working on my business. With some luck, I finally got to where I am today. Success is still a long way off, so I'll just keep doing it small."
Li Youcai's answer was so relaxed that Bian Jie could hear something different.
There is no such thing as overnight success in this world. Li Youcai has worked his way up from nothing to where he is today, and he must have gone through a lot of hardships that others cannot see.
But he didn't say a word, just said it was a bonus of shit luck. It seemed like a joke and seemed like he was mocking himself, but in Bian Jie's opinion, this was an optimistic attitude.
This made Bian Jie feel that Li Youcai was different from others.
"How is Xinyan?"
"I haven't had time to tell you that Xinyan is pregnant. She is recuperating at home now. It has been almost 5 months and the checkups are all good." Li Youcai said excitedly.
"Really?" Bian Jie was delighted when he heard that.
Just now he truly felt the joy of becoming a grandfather, but then he felt a little sad.
For him, having relatives but not being able to recognize them is a great torture.
"You're out? Who's taking care of her at home?" asked Bian Jie.
"My eldest aunt is helping out at home, and there's also my neighbor's sister-in-law, so there's no shortage of people around."
"That's good."
Bian Jie subconsciously squeezed his hands, which was a conditioned reflex when people were anxious.
Li Youcai saw it and said, "I've tried before, but Xinyan still had a deep grudge against you at that time. Now that she's pregnant, her emotions are even more unstable. I didn't dare to stimulate her again. I'll try to work on her after she's stable after giving birth."
"You're right, she's emotionally unstable right now, so it's best not to provoke her."
Bian Jie looked at Li Youcai with a hint of eagerness in his eyes. "The medical conditions in rural areas are poor, and the distance to the hospital is far. It's okay now at five months, but wait a few more months and the inconvenience will become apparent. It's best to go to the hospital early to take care of the baby. I'll have someone arrange a room for you at the county hospital. It will be safer if you move there sooner."
Li Youcai could see that Bian Jie wanted Chu Xinyan to do something, and he could understand to some extent the painstaking efforts of a father.
"Okay, then we won't be polite. If I live in the county town, I won't have to run back and forth between the two places, which will be much more convenient."
Li Youcai agreed readily.
Bian Jie smiled. As a man, he could also feel Li Youcai's kindness.
Dangdang...
There was a knock on the door.
Bian Jiefang walked towards the door and shouted, "Come in!"
The secretary pushed the door open and reported softly, "Leader, there was a major accident on Shanhu Road. A jeep ran through a checkpoint and then overturned and exploded. Two people inside died on the spot."
"Also, a driver who was tied up was just rescued in the city hall parking lot. He said his captors were none other than the wanted criminal Jiang Yongbiao, who had escaped from prison. The stolen vehicle was an old jeep from the Teng County government's small fleet. Jiang Yongbiao's target was Zhong Yuanbing, the director of the Guangyuan Cannery, who was attending the bidding meeting."
"Based on the police's current investigation, it has been confirmed that the jeep that overturned and exploded was the robbed bus, and the deceased are likely Jiang Yongbiao and Zhong Yuanbing."
The secretary's report was loud and Li Youcai could hear it clearly.
This made him a little unbelievable.
Is Zhong Yuanbing dead?
After listening to the report, Bian Jie's face darkened. "How could a Teng County bus be robbed at the city hall?"
"According to the driver, this car belongs to Deputy County Chief Zhou Wei. Because it's old, Deputy County Chief Zhou rarely uses it, and it's always been used by his nephew Zhong Yuanbing. This time, Zhong Yuanbing was riding in this car to the city government to participate in the bidding meeting, which is why it was targeted and robbed."
"Using public buses for private purposes has reached this extent! It's simply lawless!" Bian Jie slammed the table in anger.
Li Youcai was wondering in his heart whether Zhong Yuanbing was really dead.
If this news is true, then he really has to say that God has eyes and actually took that bastard away.
"You have work to do first, so I'll leave first." Li Youcai stood up and said goodbye.
