Tai Man sees everything, it seems that the vast majority of people present will support United Construction Company. Even if Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda join forces, they still can't beat Fei Bin. 0
 
"What about the opinion of County Magistrate Guo?" Tai Man looks at Guo Tianyi. 0
 
 
Guo Tianyi waved his hand, "County Chief Tai, you may not know that Fei Bin is my wife's younger brother. I'm just here to listen today and it's not convenient for me to give opinions." 0
 
"Do you not consider the merits of others just because they are relatives? Let's hear from others then." 0
 
 
Tai Man originally thought that most people would support United, but she was wrong. The main leaders present all expressed their opinions, overwhelmingly supporting the project to be handed over to United Construction Company. It was not most people, but everyone except her who supported United. 0
 
"County Chief Tai, it seems that the opinions of everyone present are unanimous, all believing that the Ling River Project should be handed over to United Construction Company. What do you think?" Guo Tianyi suddenly asked Tai Man. 0
 
 
Tai Man was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. If she insisted on handing the project over to Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda, she would be going against the wishes of the majority, effectively turning the meeting into a one-sided affair. Most importantly, she still didn't have a convincing enough reason to do so. 0
 
But if she agreed, like everyone else present, to hand the Ling River Project over to United, all previous efforts would be in vain, and no one would dare to compete with United. 0
 
 
Tai Man was at a loss and then thought of Yang Chen, who had helped him out of a predicament before when he didn't know what to do. 0
 
"I don't have an immediate opinion. Director Yang, it was you who took me to inspect the Ling River flood. What do you think? Which side do you think is more suitable for the Ling River project?" The Director Yang mentioned by Tai Man is naturally Yang Chen. 0
 
 
As a secretary, it is not appropriate to express opinions in this kind of situation, but as the deputy director of the government office and a deputy department-level cadre, I am qualified to express my own views. 0
 
At first, the people present were puzzled about who "Director Yang" mentioned by Tai Man was, until Yang Chen stood up and they realized it was referring to Yang Chen. 0
 
 
Yang Chen stood up and said, "All the leaders are here, and I shouldn't casually express my opinions, but since County Chief Tai called on me, I will share my thoughts. I think... Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering are more suitable for taking on the Ling River Project." 0
 
The meeting room was filled with the sound of whispers, and Guo Tianyi's smiling face turned serious as he coldly stared at Yang Chen. 0
 
 
"Oh?!" 0
 
Tai Man made a surprised sound, turned around, and pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Why? All the leaders present think that United is more suitable." 0
 
 
"United is indeed the best engineering project company for us at Hualin, and it has extensive experience in construction projects, with several ongoing projects. This is United's advantage, but it has also become its disadvantage; while United has many projects, its limited resources may not allow it to complete the Ling River Project on time. As far as I know, United has had many projects that were delivered late in recent years." 0
 
Yang Chen distributed the information he collected yesterday. 0
 
 
Tai Man took the documents and thought to herself that Yang Chen was really tight-lipped, not mentioning anything to her in advance. 0
 
Guo Tianyi couldn't help but speak up, "Although there have been precedents for delays, this is also to ensure the quality and quantity of the project. If rushing the schedule leads to shoddy work, that would be a grave mistake." 0
 
 
"County Magistrate Guo is not wrong, but as far as I know, not all of United's projects are up to standard. A section of rural road in Willow River Township under Hualin County was built by United Construction Company, and within less than six months, it has become full of potholes. All the leaders remember this, right?" 0
 
Guo Tianyi's face turned red, as there was indeed such a situation. The county even set up an investigation team to look into it thoroughly. 0
 
 
"This matter also involved our Department of Transportation. I remember it was due to a manager from United Construction Company using substandard cement, which led to his conviction," said the leader of the county's Department of Transportation. 0
 
Yang Chen nodded and said, "That's right, but the resulting losses were shared by the county's finances and United, making the county's finances even more difficult. If Ling River Project also encounters similar problems, it won't just be a financial loss, but will lead to accountability by the provincial authorities, especially since Ling River Project was specifically mentioned by Director Zhou of the Department of Water Resources." 0
 
 
"The Willow River Township incident was just an accident. If anything happens with the Ling River Project, I will take responsibility!" Guo Tianyi volunteered, reminding Fei Bin not to have any improper thoughts regarding the Ling River Project. 0
 
"County Magistrate Guo's willingness to take responsibility is something we should all learn about Integrity. However, once something goes wrong, it's not enough to just take responsibility; one must also bear the scorn of the Hualin people. After all, no one knows when the provincial authorities will allocate another twenty million to repair the Ling River channel." 0
 
 
Guo Tianyi can no longer contain his anger and slams the table, demanding, "Yang Chen, what do you mean? Are you suggesting that handing over the Ling River Project to Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering will ensure that there are no issues?" 0
 
"Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering do not have any major projects at hand, so they will be able to focus all their energy on the Ling River Project. We can also have manager Qiao and Mr. Zhao closely monitor the project to ensure that none of our subordinates take advantage of the situation. Additionally, Eight Directions Road Bridge specializes in bridge construction and mainly undertakes the construction of roads and bridges, while Hongda Engineering is mainly responsible for embankment projects. The two companies will cooperate and work together, and I believe they will definitely do a good job with the Ling River Project. 0
 
 
"Furthermore, from the quotes provided by both parties, it can be seen that Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering are hardly making any profit from this project. This allows them to allocate as much as possible of the twenty million to the Ling River Project, which is one of their advantages." 0
 
The director of the County Finance Bureau expressed concern: "As the saying goes, there is no incentive without profit; I worry that they might secretly seek personal gain in the project." 0
 
 
"I will make every effort to find time to follow up on the Ling River Project and will not give them the opportunity to seek personal gain." After Yang Chen finished speaking, Tai Man spoke up, "The County Magistrate Guo is willing to take responsibility for United, and I will also guarantee for Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering. If they encounter any problems in the project, I will take full responsibility!" 0
 
The meeting room fell silent. 0
 
 
Tai Man's words are equivalent to expressing an attitude, she supports the next project of Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering. 0
 
Many people regretted their decision, they shouldn't have expressed their support for United so early. It's like misinterpreting the will of the emperor, and in ancient times, one would have been beheaded for it. 0
 
 
In the past, government projects were all given to United, and no one expected Tai Man to break this rule. 0
 
"County Chief Tai, I think..." 0
 
 
Tai Man interrupted Guo Tianyi, " County Magistrate Guo, didn't you just say you wanted to avoid suspicion? Do you have a different opinion now?" 0
 
Tai Man directly silenced Guo Tianyi, making it difficult for him to speak. 0
 
 
Others are even more afraid to go against the county magistrate's wishes. 0
