Zhang Weiqiang managed to get out of the hospital, but his body was still very weak. He could only sit in the yard to bask in the sun at noon with Tan Yufen's support every day, and most of the time he could only lie in bed to rest.

Lao Wan, Da Hu and the others did not dare to tell him the gossip, let alone discuss with him about blocking the road. As a result, Zhang Wei and his wife were kept in the dark.

As the bidding date of November 8th approached day by day, Chu Tianshu, who was busy preparing, felt a faint sense of ominousness in the calm.

Subconsciously, Qingyuan Satellite TV decided to broadcast the bidding process live. It is impossible that such a major change would not arouse the vigilance of Kunpeng Industrial. However, Wang Zhiyuan has not made any move in the past few days. Is he really sure that he can make it happen?

The instrument factory got it in one fell swoop?

Furthermore, on the afternoon of November 7, Chu Tianshu accompanied Jian Ruoming to the Triumph Hotel to implement the final preparations for the site. He asked about which city leaders would come to give guidance on the bidding tomorrow. Jian Ruoming only said that there were deputy directors in charge.

Mayor Tang Yifu did not mention Executive Vice Mayor Yi Haitao.

Chu Tianshu clearly remembered that Wang Shaolei said personally that Yi Haitao would be at the scene to preside over the overall situation on the day of the bidding. Now it seems that he will not be able to attend as scheduled. The final decision-making power of the bidding site is entirely in the hands of Tang Yifu.

.

After returning to the office after the inspection, Chu Tianshu sent a text message to Wang Shaolei, telling him that the bidding would be officially held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

Wang Shaolei took a long time to call Chu Tianshu back. He said that there was a mass incident in Lingnan County yesterday caused by village cadres demanding collection of reserved money. He accompanied Vice Mayor Yi to Lingnan County early this morning. What happened

It's very complicated. I definitely won't be able to make it back tomorrow.

Although Wang Shaolei never mentioned the bidding, from his helpless tone, Chu Tianshu could feel that at least Yi Haitao was helpless when it came to the bidding for the instrument factory.

This made Chu Tianshu very disappointed, even a little depressed.

In this case, Xiang Wanqing's hard-earned TV broadcast may not help matters.

Chu Tianshu hesitated again and again and sent a text message to Wu Mengdie.

Wu Mengdie quickly replied to the text message, saying that she would arrive at the bidding site before nine o'clock tomorrow.

After get off work, Chu Tianshu did not meet with Fan Yibing, Zhao Pingyuan and others about the next day's work as before. Instead, he drove back to Dangui Piaoxiang alone in a depressed mood.

After entering the door and opening the window, I suddenly remembered a few dull thunders in the sky.

The cold wind hit, and Chu Tianshu felt an unprecedented sadness.

After months of busy work, and even a near-death experience, the bidding for the instrument factory had its ups and downs, with hopes and disappointments constantly alternating, but the final result was back to the original point. This made Chu Tianshu feel the desolation of the world, and also

I felt the cruelty of competition in officialdom and was full of confusion about my future career.

In the face of wealth and power, the strength of thousands of laid-off workers is so insignificant. Imagining their helpless expressions in the future, Chu Tianshu, who had tried his best, fell into deep self-blame.

Lying on the bed, Chu Tianshu looked at the ceiling and prayed silently: I hope Lingyun Group's plan can impress the review experts. After all, this plan is conducive to the long-term development of Qingyuan City and protects the rights of laid-off workers to the greatest extent.

Although the hope is extremely slim, this is also the last chance!

At 8 o'clock in the morning on November 8, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission Director Jian Ruoming led Chu Tianshu, Fan Yibing and other heads of relevant departments and other staff to the bidding site of the Triumph Hotel. They were uniformly dressed and wearing badges, and some were looking carefully.

There are signs, tables and chairs, and some audio and electronic displays are being adjusted. It can be seen that the preparations for the bidding are basically ready.

Huang Rushan took leave citing physical discomfort.

Duan Qingshan and Zhao Pingyuan and others were responsible for welcoming and arranging the review experts.

Ouyang Meimei and Liu Chunna and others were responsible for receiving members of the state-owned enterprise reform leading group, including of course Tang Yifu, the leader of the leading group.

At around 8:10, Xiang Wanqing brought the live broadcast team of Qingyuan Satellite TV to the bidding site. She only said hello to Jian Ruoming and Chu Tianshu, and then she was busy instructing the TV station personnel to arrange facilities and select camera seats.

, debugging the lens, everything is busy but not chaotic, and orderly.

Just before and after the live TV team arrived, Han Li, the director of the Square Police Station, arrived at the Triumph Hotel with several policemen. In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, they dressed in casual clothes and were on guard outside the hotel. The order inside the hotel was still left to Huang Tianbao.

Security personnel are responsible for maintenance.

At 8:20, Coster, who picked up the review experts, arrived early, and the experts were arranged to rest in the conference room next to the scene.

At about 8:30, members of the leading group, Director of the Bureau of Land and Resources Shen Guozhang and others, arrived one after another. Under the guidance of Ouyang Meimei, they were arranged to wait in another conference room. Deputy Mayor Tang Yifu did not show up.

Afterwards, the heads of companies participating in the bidding entered the Triumph Hotel one after another. They were chatting and laughing, and all of them looked smug. Even those heads of companies who knew they were here to serve as foils were in high spirits. This was because there was a TV

Because of the live broadcast, they certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity to do free advertising.

At 8:40, Wang Zhiyuan from Kunpeng Industrial arrived at the scene. His appearance caused a small sensation. The heads of several other companies participating in the bidding shook hands with him and greeted him with such enthusiasm that one suspected that they were not at all.

The opponents who are about to compete are old friends whom we haven't seen for a long time.

There are similarities between the business world and officialdom. Opponents can attack each other behind their backs, but on the surface they always maintain harmony.

What's more, the heads of these companies don't have much hope for the success of the bidding, and some of them have already reached a tacit understanding with Wang Zhiyuan.

When the energetic Wang Zhiyuan walked into the bidding site, he immediately saw Chu Tianshu who was organizing the registration procedures. He dealt with several business leaders and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to say hello: "Director Chu, it's been a long time."

Missing."

Chu Tianshu held Wang Zhiyuan's hand and said: "Mr. Wang, thank you for your strong support for our work."

"Haha," Wang Zhiyuan patted the back of Chu Tianshu's hand hard and said with a smile: "Support each other, support each other. Please take care of me."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, please go through the registration and sign-in procedures here, and then wait in the lounge." Chu Tianshu said without being humble or overbearing.

Wang Zhiyuan signed the registration book coolly, raised his head, smiled at Chu Tianshu, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you. Goodbye." After that, he turned and walked towards the lounge.

Chu Tianshu secretly wondered: Why didn't Wang Zhiyuan say hello to Jian Ruoming? With his acting style, this was too abnormal.

The heads of all the other bidding companies were here, but Wu Mengdie was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but feel anxious secretly.

According to the announced bidding rules, any person in charge of a company participating in the bidding who fails to sign in and register before 9:40 will be deemed to have given up automatically.

Ouyang Meimei stood in front of the hotel door and looked forward to it. Tang Yifu had not yet arrived at the bidding site.

However, Tang Yifu's secretary called Jian Ruoming and said that Vice Mayor Tang had an important official event that was temporarily arranged and needed to come out to socialize. If he did not arrive at the Triumph Hotel before nine-thirty, Jian Ruoming asked Jian Ruoming to follow the established procedures.

Host bidding.

Xiang Wanqing took the opportunity to test the camera and came to Chu Tianshu. She glanced at the busy staff and film crew and asked quietly: "What's going on? Lingyun Group hasn't arrived yet?"

Chu Tianshu looked down at the registration form and said, "Yes, this is not normal."

At this moment, there was a burst of women's noises and the scolding of the security guards outside.

Fan Yibing hurried over and said: "Old Chu, a group of protesting laid-off female workers from the instrument factory came to the door of the hotel. I heard they were noisy and said that there were other people who took to the streets to block the road."

Chu Tianshu asked hurriedly: "Where is the traffic jam?"

Fan Yibing said: "The intersection of Hongxing Street."

Chu Tianshu's mind buzzed, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At this time, Wu Mengdie sent a text message to Chu Tianshu, and we were blocked at the intersection of Hongxing Street turning to the Triumph Hotel.

Hongxing Street is only more than 300 meters away from the Triumph Hotel. It is the only way to the Triumph Hotel after getting off the beltway.

However, Wang Zhiyuan also came from Linjiang, so why wasn't he blocked?

Chu Tianshu immediately judged: This was a conspiracy! The purpose was to block Wu Mengdie on the road, force her to be more than ten minutes late, and use the rules to exclude Lingyun Group from bidding.

Time was running out and there was no room for Chu Tianshu to hesitate. He walked quickly to Jian Ruoming and reported in a low voice about the laid-off workers from the instrument factory taking to the streets to block the road. He bluntly stated his guess and hoped that Jian Ruoming would be more vigilant.

, don't get involved.

Jian Ruoming's brows furrowed and he made a decisive decision, saying: "Xiao Chu, please take someone to deal with it quickly. I'll report to the leadership group."

While Chu Tianshu went to report to Jian Ruoming, Xiang Wanqing had already taken the photographer outside and started taking pictures.

Blocking the entrance to the courtyard of the Triumph Hotel was a group of female employees, about twenty of them, but there were already many people gathered on the sidewalk, asking and asking each other.

Chinese people like to meddle in other people's business. When they know something is going on, they will gather around to watch the fun.

Dozens of laid-off women and spectators had gathered. They blocked the hotel entrance and exit, holding banners and placards such as "We want to survive," "We want to work," and "Defend the Instrument Factory to the death."

A few sly-looking guys were running around in the crowd, and seven or eight hotel security guards lined up to watch them from a distance. They did not take any action to disperse or dissuade them, but just blocked them from entering the hotel courtyard.

Chu Tianshu was so anxious that he didn't have time to think too much. As he walked out, he dialed Tan Yufen's number.

Wu Shicai is not in Qingyuan, and among the laid-off workers, only Zhang Wei and Tan Yufen have this appeal.
Chapter completed!
