Rebirth: 1977

When Xia Yingying saw the huge sum of three hundred thousand yuan put into her bank passbook and counted the zeros one by one, she was so excited.

When she returned to Beijing this time, she originally wanted to show off her wealth in front of her old friends, but she ended up watching them ordering the best dishes and wine for everything.

The way of playing was fresh and unconventional and she was not familiar with it.

Thinking back to when they first came to Pengcheng and Yangcheng to play, I gave them the best in order to show off my status as the daughter of the Pengcheng leader.

As a result, she accidentally spent more than 100,000 yuan of Xia Zijian's money. At that time, Xia Yingying spent money as she pleased and never felt bad about the money that flowed out every day.

Since it was not money she earned, she would not feel sorry or reluctant to spend it. In the end, she is in a difficult situation now.

Xia Yingying, who earned her own money, suddenly felt like her Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and she actually felt distressed about spending her own money.

Since these friends had been entertained by her with great hospitality and now said they wanted to invite her back, she had to let them do the same.

After having this idea, she actually felt at ease guarding her purse and not spending it recklessly. Only then did she realize that there was really a different kind of happiness in eating for free.

Although she could see that these people were only willing to pay small amounts, when it came to paying large amounts, they started to pass the buck to each other.

If it were the original Xia Yingying, she would definitely be the one who stepped forward and paid.

This time when she returned to Beijing, she held her wallet tightly and watched those people say nice things and put on a show for her. She didn't want to be the scapegoat again.

Instead, he was watching the fun and jokingly said, "Oh, I didn't expect the food in our Beijing restaurant to be so cheap? I almost forgot about it.

You should remember, right? A seafood dinner and a breakfast in Pengcheng cost ten times as much as in Beijing.

If you had taken the money I used to treat you to back then and spent it in Beijing, I could have treated you to a feast every day for a year."

The project that Hou Yong chose this time was actually quite difficult, mainly because his company’s qualifications were too low.

For projects worth more than 10 million yuan, the company's qualifications are generally required. Fortunately, the market has just been liberalized, and many industry rules seem to be in name only and cannot be strictly enforced.

Strictly speaking, a construction company like Hou Yong that does not have the required qualifications is not qualified to undertake a project worth tens of millions of yuan.

However, it is still possible to play a marginal ball.

However, this 50 million yuan project requires a third-level qualified construction company to undertake it.

The person in charge of the Urban Construction Bureau did not dare to release the project casually, but Hou Yong had Xia Yingying by his side. Who really dared to use the standards to refuse?

However, this time, three construction companies have both the qualifications and the connections to introduce us, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the competition has reached a "white-hot" level.

During the days and nights that Hou Yong was waiting for Xia Yingying, his competitors were also meeting with different people with connections.

If Xia Yingying had returned to Pengcheng two days later, the project would have been finalized and handed over to someone else. A company with second-level construction qualifications had basically been negotiated and was ready to sign a contract.

The director of the Urban Construction Bureau started to have a headache when he saw Xia Yingying walk into his office.

"Ms. Xia, I'm not trying to offend you, but the qualifications of Boss Hou's company are too low. If I give it to you, I'm afraid there will be complaints from below.

If it affects your father's reputation as an official, it would be a loss for the greater good."

Before Xia Yingying came, she thought this project was already hers. She didn't expect that she would be rejected even if she stepped forward.

"I'm not scared. My dad is his leader. What does that have to do with me signing the contract for this project?

Don't confuse us.

Why is Mr. Hou's company inferior to others? This project must be ours."

This is one and a half million dollars!

How could Xia Yingying give up just because of a few words?

"I heard that you were appointed as the director because of my father's recommendation, right?

What? Now his daughter is being rejected even when she comes to discuss a small project?

Can you say that you are repaying kindness with enmity?"

Xia Yingying was a little angry and said some unpleasant words.

Hou Yong told her this, but some things are something one knows very well or is tacitly understood. How can one say it out loud?

The director was angry but couldn't show it, and Hou Yong was embarrassed but couldn't show it.

He neglected to notice what happened in the past few days. He was wholeheartedly waiting for Xia Yingying to arrive. He had done all the preparations before and thought that everything was foolproof. He didn't expect to see the director's embarrassed face.

She was also winking at him. He thought for a while and recalled that the director had been saying that his company was not qualified enough.

This is his weak point. It is impossible for him to spend millions to improve the company's qualifications.

The accumulation of original capital for private enterprises is a long and difficult process.

He was unwilling to give up and waste all his efforts.

There are always more solutions than problems.

"Ms. Xia, please don't get excited. The director is an old friend of ours. He won't deliberately make things difficult for us."

He persuaded Xia Yingying, then looked at the director and said in a negotiating tone:

“You should know that no matter what the qualifications of these construction companies in Pengcheng are, the houses built by their workers are actually the same.

Our company has completed several projects here, and there have been no mistakes in either quality or management.

The reputation among the client is very good.

Now that Miss Xia is here, we are determined to win this project.

But I don't want to embarrass you, so please give us some advice. What can we do to make up for the shortage of our company? How can we win this project? "

The director felt very uncomfortable, but he also agreed with Hou Yong's words. The lack of qualifications of his company meant that he could not come up with the registered capital.

Other hardware is easy to upgrade.

He looked at Xia Yingying who had an unhappy expression. After all, she was Leader Xia's daughter, so how could he dare to offend her!

I thought I could present facts and reason with her to persuade her to go back, and then compensate her when there is a suitable project in the future.

Now, no matter how much he says, it would be "repaying kindness with enmity".

He sighed helplessly: "Boss Hou, you have been in this industry for many years and should know the industry rules.

If I can give it to you, how could I not agree?

But this project has high requirements and fierce competition, and everyone is watching us."

He looked at Xia Yingying's stubborn expression, stood up and said politely:

"Miss Xia, please sit here for a while. I want to talk to Boss Hou alone."

Xia Yingying sneered, "What shameful words are you saying? Are you still trying to avoid me?"

Hou Yong didn't know what the director was up to, but since he obviously didn't say no, he thought there was still hope.

He hurriedly stood up and explained to Xia Yingying:

"The director will definitely talk to me about some technical matters. Please sit down for a while. We won't be delayed too much."

Xia Yingying was just spoiled when she grew up, it's not that she has no intelligence and can't read other people's expressions.

On the contrary, she was born in a family of officials and was influenced by them since childhood. She was accustomed to the tricks of officials who stepped on the powerful and flattered the weak and engaged in intrigue.

She is now very clear about her position and wants to make money with her current identity. If she loses this domineering attitude, I am afraid that few people will really pay attention to her.

After all, as Xia Minglei's daughter, she may be unfamiliar with the business world, but she can understand the officialdom.
