Chapter 2048 Go watch the excitement
That morning, Pi Yangyang brought Su Xueqing to the company and was about to go upstairs.
A middle-aged man who looked quite energetic walked briskly into the company lobby, carrying a brown leather bag under his arm.
After he came in, he looked around and walked straight to the elevator.
The lobby manager had been watching him ever since he came in.
Seeing that he was about to go upstairs, she quickened her pace and caught up with him, politely asking, "Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the lobby manager and said arrogantly, "I'm a friend of your General Manager Lan. He invited me. Which floor is he on?"
The lobby manager said "Oh," a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. But she showed no emotion on her face, maintaining her professional smile, and pointed to the front desk, saying politely, "Sir, please register. I'll contact General Manager Lan right now."
A hint of displeasure flashed across the middle-aged man's face, and he said in a cold tone, "So troublesome?"
The lobby manager said, "Sir, I'm sorry, this is company policy. Please come over and register."
Although the middle-aged man was somewhat reluctant, he still went to the front desk and registered.
The receptionist immediately made an internal call to verify that he did have an appointment. Only then did the lobby manager personally lead him to the elevator, press the button, and escort him upstairs.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Pi Yangyang's heart skipped a beat. After he went upstairs, Pi Yangyang went to the front desk and asked, "What was that man's name?"
The receptionist glanced at the register and said, "Chairman, his name is Bai Kaixuan."
Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Okay, I understand."
He and Su Xueqing then took the chairman's private elevator to their office.
After escorting Su Xueqing to her office, Pi Yangyang said, "I'm going to check with President Lan. The person who just came was the second son of the Bai family."
Su Xueqing hummed in agreement and went to her desk to begin her workday.
Pi Yangyang arrived at Lan Bowen's office door, but before he could even go in, he heard Bai Kaixuan say, "President Lan, you've been promoted, and you don't even respect your brothers anymore? Such a big project, and you didn't even leave your brothers a drop of soup!"
Lan Bowen said, "President Bai, are you blaming me? I had no choice! After all, I'm with the Yan Group now, and everything must be done in the best interests of the group. Initially, your bid did not meet our requirements; many of your quotes were higher than our ideal price..."
Bai Kaixuan laughed and said, "President Lan, it was indeed my fault in the last bidding! But don't worry, Huading Building Materials will definitely cooperate with President Lan with the utmost sincerity in the future."
"Well, for this hospital project, we need to add a building materials company to supply the supplies, and you were the first person I thought of. But Mr. Bai, let me be clear from the start: if you still think of me as a sucker, then you should back out now..."
Lan Bowen said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"How could that be?" Bai Kaixuan's laughter was a little awkward. "I was influenced by other people in the company at the time, that's why..."
Lan Bowen said, "Alright, those who understand, understand. Let's not dwell on the past. What we need to consider now is future cooperation..."
Upon hearing this, Pi Yangyang gently knocked on the door.
Soon, Lan Bowen's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Pi Yangyang pushed open the door and entered. Lan Bowen quickly stood up and respectfully greeted, "Chairman."
Bai Kaixuan initially thought it was Lan Bowen's subordinate reporting to him, so he remained seated.
Seeing Lan Bowen's reaction, Bai Kaixuan stood up in surprise, looked at Pi Yangyang, and asked incredulously, "Chairman?"
Lan Bowen said, "Yes, he is Chairman Pi of the Yan Group."
Bai Kaixuan exclaimed in shock, "I never expected the chairman of the Yan Group to be so young!"
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "I didn't bother you, did I?"
Lan Bowen quickly replied, "No, it's perfect that you're here. I'll report this to you."
Pi Yangyang sat down, and Lan Bowen poured him a cup of tea before saying, "This is Bai Kaixuan, the second head of the Bai family in Xingyi. Under his name is Huading Building Materials, which has always been a partner of my Shanhe Infrastructure. This time, in order to speed up the hospital construction, we have decided to introduce another building materials company to cooperate with, so as to ensure a sufficient supply of materials..."
These matters were originally entrusted to Lan Bowen by Pi Yangyang, and now Lan Bowen is simply putting on an act in front of Bai Kaixuan.
"Yes, but Mr. Lan, while we must ensure the progress, we cannot be careless about the quality of building materials," Pi Yangyang said seriously. "The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is a key project for our group, and all departments and the community are paying attention to it. If the quality of the project is affected by the building materials, then the responsibility will be huge."
Before Lan Bowen could speak, Bai Kaixuan quickly said, "Chairman, please rest assured. Although Huading Building Materials is not particularly large in scale, all its materials have obtained international certifications, and there will absolutely be no problem with their quality. President Lan is very clear about this; we have had a cooperative relationship for many years..."
Lan Bowen nodded and said, "Yes, Chairman, the quality of Huading's building materials is guaranteed. Moreover, we will strictly control the quality at our construction site. If any substandard materials are found, we will resolutely refuse to accept them and immediately terminate the cooperation."
Pi Yangyang nodded solemnly, "Then there's no problem. You can continue your discussion. I'm leaving."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
But just as he stood up, Bai Kaixuan's phone rang.
He looked at his phone somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's my son calling..."
Lan Bowen said, "Go ahead and accept it, it's okay."
Bai Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly went to the side to answer the phone, and said in a low voice, "Why are you making a call at this hour? Don't you know I'm discussing a collaboration with someone?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed abruptly, and he said angrily, "This is outrageous! You all hold them off, I'll be right back!"
Even after hanging up the phone, his face remained filled with resentment.
"President Bai, what happened?" Lan Bowen asked curiously upon seeing this.
Bai Kaixuan said angrily, "A bunch of thugs suddenly appeared out of nowhere and are causing trouble at the company. President Lan, Chairman Pi, I'm sorry, I have to go back immediately..."
Lan Bowen asked in astonishment, "Someone dares to cause trouble in your company?"
Bai Kaixuan said, "Things haven't been peaceful lately; many people are keeping an eye on my Huading Company!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked outside.
Upon reaching the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back, saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Lan, I will handle this matter properly and it won't affect our cooperation."
Once his figure disappeared, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Pi Yangyang's lips.
"It seems that his Huading has encountered quite a bit of trouble! Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back so hastily."
Lan Bowen said, somewhat taken aback.
Pi Yangyang said, "It all started with the Xingyi Industrial Park project! Once this project was confirmed, all sorts of shady characters started to show up."
"You mean... someone is deliberately targeting Huading?" Lan Bowen asked in surprise.
Pi Yangyang said noncommittally, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, come with me to see what's going on?"
Lan Bowen was taken aback. "Going to Huading to see the excitement?"
"Yes, let's go see what trouble he's in."
Pi Yangyang seemed very interested in going to see what was going on.
Lan Bowen smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go take a look."
Pi Yangyang called Tie Niu, who was waiting in the security room, and together with Lan Bowen, they left the company and headed to Huading Building Materials in Baijia Village, Xingyi.
Just as Bai Kaixuan was rushing back to Xingyi, the entrance of Huading Building Materials was surrounded by a huge crowd.
A group of young people with brightly colored hair, their emotions running high, confronted the company's security guards through the iron gate.
At the entrance, a middle-aged woman slumped to the ground, sobbing and weeping as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Two young men stood in front of the iron gate, holding a banner.
The banner read: "Unscrupulous merchants, you've ripped me off! Pay back my hard-earned money!"
The handwriting is crooked and contains typos; you can't tell what it means without careful reading.
The woman sobbed uncontrollably as she recounted a story in broken sentences.
It turns out that her family had recently built a house using materials from Huading Building Materials.
But just as the house was completed and the family was happily preparing to move in, it suddenly collapsed.
Her husband happened to be in the house; his leg was crushed, and he is still in the hospital.
She came here to demand an explanation from Huading.
They arrived here early in the morning, making a big fuss and attracting a lot of onlookers.
In the first Buick minivan opposite Huading, Bai Kaishan looked sullen.
He stared at the banner and said angrily, "What kind of people did Tiger find? If this is done, won't Huading's reputation be ruined?"
