Chapter 56 Behind bars
If you don't listen to the boss, you will suffer the consequences.

The consequence of liking to wear skirts was that Liang Weining caught a cold.

I slept until two in the afternoon on Saturday, when I was interrupted by a call from Uncle Ming.

The other party heard her strong nasal tone when she spoke, so he suggested: "Teaching is not as important as health. Secretary Liang should rest at home this week. I will tell my husband about your situation truthfully."

After that, the phone was handed over to Josie.

The boy's words were full of concern, and he reminded his sister to take medicine on time, drink plenty of water, and not stay up late or get too tired.

Liang Weining listened and laughed, feeling warm in her heart.

Before hanging up, Josie suddenly said, "Daddy flew to New York early this morning and it will probably take several days for him to come back. When sister recovers, you can come to Pokfulam to visit me anytime."

The boss is on a business trip?
She knew nothing about it.

It might be an urgent official business, otherwise it wouldn't be so sudden.

Liang Weining didn't think much about it. After the call ended, he lay back down and continued to sleep.

This time I had a long dream. I dreamed that I fell into a pile of zombies and my body was torn into countless pieces.

The horrifying scene made her break out in a cold sweat. She sat on the bed in a daze, her thoughts wandering.

It was late at night and my best friend was not at home because she was working overtime.

Liang Weining cooked a bowl of instant noodles by herself and sat in front of her laptop, her fingers moving across the keyboard. That night, she looked up some things on the Internet.

Monday came in a flash.

I haven’t been feeling well since I caught a cold, so I almost clocked in on time today.

When passing by the director's office, I glanced at the closed door and guessed that the boss was probably still in New York and hadn't returned yet.

The morning passed quickly.

Half an hour before lunch break, seeing Liang Weining stamping the application form with the seal of the secretarial office, Vivi leaned in to take a look at the content and asked curiously, "Little Boss, why are you doing this?"

“Be prepared.”

what?
Vivi was confused.

Liang Weining didn't explain. He took the application form and took the elevator to the third floor, the logistics department of the building.

This trip was delayed until noon.

When returning from the Logistics Department, go to the first floor of the building to get the documents.

"Secretary Liang, I was just about to call you on the top floor."

"what's up?"

The receptionist pointed to a dark figure sitting in the reception area not far away. "The other party has been waiting for you for a long time. He said he is from Yunhai Construction."

Sea of ​​clouds construction.

She stood there, feeling a little suspicious.

For three whole days, the Board Office was busy preparing for the upcoming construction bidding.

The boss has not returned yet.

Only yesterday afternoon did she receive a private message from Xu Zhou, saying that Mr. Chen had asked her to replace him as a judge at the bidding meeting this Friday.

Liang Weining thought he had misheard and quickly typed: [Mr. Chen, are you serious? ]

Xu Zhou replied with one word: [Yes.]

【.】

Just a few short sentences, with virtually no usable information.

He neither revealed which company the boss preferred nor gave any additional instructions.

Such an important bidding meeting was actually decided by a secretary.

What an international joke.

Liang Weining entered the chat interface and couldn't help wanting to send a private message to the boss several times, wanting to ask him what was going on.

Why does being Chen Jingyuan's secretary make things more and more weird?
She couldn't figure it out.

I tossed and turned all night, but couldn't figure it out.

Amidst such dire straits, Friday finally arrived.

There were five judges for this bidding meeting, including Director Lin from the Marketing Department and three other senior vice presidents.

Naturally, the remaining seat was supposed to be reserved for the core figure, Mr. Chen.

As a result, the person sitting in the seat now is Secretary Liang from the Board Office.

Upon learning that Secretary Liang would be Mr. Chen's full authority to participate in the review and make decisions, everyone was briefly surprised before returning to normal.

The key point is not who comes forward, the key point is the person who has the final say, and it must be the person at the top.

Mr. Chen is not in the country, so it is normal for him to entrust Secretary Liang to convey the message remotely.

Seeing everyone's understanding, Liang Weining could only pretend to be calm. Lianwu Island Project was a big project, and most of the companies participating in the bidding were well-known in the industry. No matter their scale or strength, they should not be underestimated.

Among them, Fengteng Construction and Yunhai Construction are the most prominent.

But Liang Weining was clear-headed. Putting aside the background check file that had been tampered with, just based on the bank card that the other party had secretly slipped to her at the launch ceremony last time, she was doomed to have no chance of winning the bid.

But the time is not right yet, she cannot rush into it.

After the first two stages of the bid evaluation process were completed, representatives from each company were arranged to drink tea and wait next door.

In the huge bidding room, the four judges looked through the bids and quotations in their hands one by one, and almost unanimously agreed that Fengteng Construction had a slight advantage.

Liang Weining is more supportive of the construction of Yunhai.

The reason is simple. Yunhai has a good reputation, strength, and no bad record. Most importantly, their corporate culture is clean and upright, and their construction team has won awards from the mainland government for three consecutive years.

The four judges supported Feng Teng simply because the latter has been rooted in the city for many years and has a certain amount of personal connections.

Director Lin of the Marketing Department questioned, "Excuse me, Secretary Liang, is the above your opinion or Mr. Chen's intention? If it was Mr. Chen's personal instruction, please provide evidence."

Liang Weining paused.

Facing Director Lin's aggressive questioning, she said calmly: "Do you think that a mere secretary like me would dare to risk a lawsuit and recklessly convey the executive director's instructions?"

"Indeed, it is impossible for a secretary like her to be so bold."

Seeing that it was getting late, one of the vice presidents urged, "Since it is Mr. Chen's decision, there is no need to say more. Let's decide on Yunhai."

The three words "Mr. Chen" carry a lot of weight, and no one dares to refute them.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, completely beyond Director Lin's predictions.

So much so that in the end, the other party's eyes when looking at Liang Weining changed.

I thought everything was settled.

Unexpectedly, when the winning bid was announced, the Fengteng team called a halt on the spot.

The other party claimed: "We now suspect that there is bribery and leaking of bid prices within China Hong Kong. Before we find out the truth, we request to temporarily close the bid."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

A vice president asked: "Who took bribes and who missed the bid?"

The answer shocked everyone.

Feng Teng pointed the finger directly at Liang Weining, the chief secretary of the China and Hong Kong Directors' Office.

As one of the reviewers.

Secretary Liang was being roasted alive on the fire at this moment.

She thought about the dream she had over the weekend.

A dream of falling into a pile of zombies.

Liang Weining sat motionless on the chair and looked at the other party: "Words are not enough, do you have any evidence?"

Of course there is evidence.

The person in charge of Fengteng took out a USB flash drive and a voice recorder from the file bag.

Through the computer projector on the screen in front, everyone listened to the contents of the recording, as well as the high-definition photos of Liang Weining secretly accepting bribes from Yunhai Construction.

The evidence was conclusive. Even the Yunhai team, as the parties involved, were stunned and confused after seeing it, and were completely unable to make any excuses.

At this point, Director Lin of the Marketing Department spoke first: "Secretary Liang is suspected of violating regulations. The China-Hong Kong Tendering Association has always been fair and just. In my opinion, this bid can only be scrapped."

Void!

"This evidence is clearly false. You haven't investigated it thoroughly yet, so how can you just throw it out so hastily?" The Yunhai team was very emotional.

fake?

Director Lin snorted coldly: "Secretary Liang met with the internal personnel of the bidding company in private. This can't be fake, right? Tell me, why did she meet with them for no reason?"

"Yes, private meetings are already against the rules."

"I didn't expect a secretary to be so bold as to do this right under Mr. Chen's nose."

As the discussions around her grew louder, everyone's eyes, each with their own sinister intentions, were all fixed on the girl, as if they wanted to poke a hole in her.

Liang Weining felt a buzzing in his forehead. Due to a cold and difficulty breathing, he sat alone on the chair, looking a little shaky.

Just when the situation was getting out of control, the door of the bidding room that had been closed was slowly opened.

Everyone at the scene subconsciously looked towards the door.

The first person to come in was Xu Zhou, special assistant to the executive director.

There is no doubt that the appearance of Special Assistant Xu indicates a message.

Mr. Chen returned to China.

　The heroine's feelings for the hero are about to have a major breakthrough, I haven't written it yet, so I'll have to wait and see tomorrow.
