Chapter 116: Dealing with Xiao Feng
"Dad, don't get upset; in a few days you'll know," Sun Dajun said triumphantly.
After Sun Dajun finished speaking, his phone rang; it was Ya Li calling to invite Sun Dajun to a meal.
Sun Dajun said to me, "Dad, General Manager Kang invited me to dinner tonight; are you going?"
I shook my head and said, "I won't go; I'll just have a bite at the restaurant later and keep General Manager Kang company."
Sun Dajun left happily.
I picked up the phone and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles from the restaurant, to be delivered to my office shortly.
After the arrangement, I leaned on my crutch and started walking again.
It's been almost three months since the accident, and I still haven't thrown away the crutch; I'm really anxious.
When will I be able to return to my former self?
Thinking back, when I inspected the site at Niushiling, I often ran alone up the ridge wildly.
But now I have to walk with a crutch,
I angrily threw the crutch away,
Since I no longer had the crutch in my hand, my body lost its balance,
My hands scrambled, finally grasping the edge of the desk, preventing a fall.
The other injured limb also bore weight on the floor, a piercing pain that made me break into a cold sweat.
That pain is physical, but the ache in my heart has nowhere to vent.
I look at this office, at the honor certificates on the wall, and estimate that it won't be long before they end up in the trash heap.
Sigh, that's fate.
I let out a helpless sigh, able only to accept silently.
A week passed quickly,
These days I've been waiting for news from Xiao Feng in Hainan.
Du County has already transferred ten million funds to us,
Once Xiao Feng's side finalizes it, I can arrange for someone to pay the ten million to General Manager Yu as material account funds.
It's truly laughable: a chairman of a Group Company scheming to hollow out the very company he founded.
It's really meaningless.
I am no different from Xiao Hua.
People are selfish.
Forget it, I won't think about it.
Just waiting for Xiao Feng's news; as long as she gets the company sorted, the funds will be paid to General Manager Yu, who will then transfer them to Xiao Feng's company.
I've been cooperating with General Manager Yu for a long time; I've done similar operations before.
To facilitate off‑the‑books accounting, intended for giving gifts to certain people.
Can't run the accounts through the company, fearing detection.
While I was waiting for news from Xiao Feng's company,
Sun Dajun came in and said, "Dad, this afternoon we need to convene a meeting of middle‑level leaders."
I replied, "This afternoon, why?"
Sun Dajun smiled mysteriously, "Dad, there's a good show today. It'll show you how I deal with Xiao Feng."
Hearing that revived my spirits,
Regarding Sun Dajun's handling of Xiao Feng, I fully support it; the fiercer their struggle, the more it benefits me.
Let them all show their true colors; that way I can learn even more.
I said, "Indeed, great, then go ahead and convene it. All middle‑level leaders of the company should attend. Right, don't forget to inform General Manager Kang."
Sun Dajun gave a mysterious smile,
"Dad, don't have General Manager Kang join; the company's female staff need not attend."
I couldn't figure it out,
What is Sun Dajun up to, barring women from attending—could he be planning a bloody move against Xiao Feng?
Bloody is just bloody.
This Xiao Feng opposes me openly and covertly everywhere, and even transferred that much money while Zhou Wei and I were hospitalized,
Thinking of it makes my heart ache; if he hadn't colluded with Xiao Hua,
I wouldn't be in this huge predicament now.
In my mind I thought, never mind that Sun Dajun wants to beat him, I damn well want to beat him too.
There's a good show to watch at noon today.
I quickly called Shi Yong and Shi Jinhe to come over.
I hadn't seen Shi Jinhe for a while, so I also asked about the construction site—how the project is progressing now.
Time quickly reached the afternoon,
The company's Conference Hall filled with people,
All the company's middle‑level leaders attended.
Sun Dajun chaired the meeting,
He spoke first, mainly outlining the current state of the company and the policies he devised, and how they should be implemented.
How to lighten the Group Company's burden, and how to boost employee efficiency.
Listening to Sun Dajun's speech, I thought to myself, this kid does have some ability; perhaps I misjudged him before.
Maybe he has a master behind him guiding him; otherwise Sun Dajun couldn't have spoken like that.
After Sun Dajun finished speaking, I led the applause.
The other people in the company also applauded, and then the other responsible persons of the Group Company all spoke about how to implement and carry out Sun Dajun's formulated policy.
They were all just words of loyalty.
They had said this to me before, and to Xiao Hua, and now they say it to Sun Dajun; there's nothing we can do about it.
A single sentence from Sun Dajun could make them lose everything they currently have.
Taking this opportunity, I chatted with Shi Jinhe, mainly asking about the progress of the construction project.
Shi Jinhe said: "The water, electricity, and piping for Building 1 of Guanghua Garden have all been installed. Interior installation began this month; it's expected to be completed by early September, while the other buildings will be a bit slower."
I nodded.
"Has Bureau Chief Zheng gone to the construction site?"
Shi Jinhe said: "I went to have a look; I'm very satisfied."
I said: "That's easy to handle. By the way, did you know that Zaocheng TV went undercover for a visit a few days ago?"
Shi Jinhe laughed,
"I know, so I'm not afraid of their undercover visit; after all, our building quality speaks for itself, and I only use qualified building materials—what's there to fear?"
I patted Shi Jinhe on the shoulder,
"How is Xiao Shitou doing now?"
Shi Jinhe was just about to answer me,
At that moment, Shi Yong called out to me: "Brother, quick look."
I and Shi Jinhe followed Shi Yong's gesture, raising our heads to look at the large screen in the meeting room.
The large screen suddenly displayed a set of images,
This set of images was taken by covert filming,
I thought at the time, could it be that they're playing Xiao Fang's undercover footage?
But what I didn't expect was a man and a woman,
and they were in a bedroom,
a man and a woman were performing a short film, and everyone stared at the screen without speaking.
What is this? How could the company's screen show such images?
I was about to say something,
Sun Dajun gestured with his eyes to stop me,
As the lens pulled forward,
I finally made out the man and woman in the lens,
The man I didn't know, very muscular, but the woman I recognized,
she was Xiao Feng's wife,
Xiao Feng's wife is a flight attendant, very beautiful.
I know this; Xiao Feng spent a lot of money to marry this flight attendant.
After marriage, Xiao Feng doted on his wife immensely, agreeing to any request she made.
Every year at the Group Company gathering, Xiao Feng would bring his beautiful wife to attend,
in order to show off his wife to everyone.
Today his wife appeared before everyone again, and in this manner on camera,
quite meaningful,
Everyone remained silent, watching the screen below, this man and woman's wonderful performance.
Xiao Feng's wife was very into it, her voice rising and falling.
I looked at Xiao Feng,
Xiao Feng's face went from white to red, then to purple, and finally black.
I estimate his little heart has already exploded.
Shi Yong beside me was even more engrossed,
his mouth open,
the ash had burned his hand, yet he didn't even notice,
We can't let this performance continue, otherwise what would the Group Company become, not to mention being laughed at.
I quickly stood up,
I loudly said: "Stop quickly, what is this, this is the Group Company's meeting room."
