Chapter 93

After hanging up the phone, I fell into thought.

Right now, because I'm too busy, I can't spare any time to deal with the Qi He Kuang matter.

The cooperation with Zaocheng Mining Group was just right, so why did they suddenly stop cooperating?

There must be a reason behind it.

Xiao Guo's management level is obvious,

I sent him there, and he basically doesn't need to do anything.

Other deputy mine directors are responsible for production,

Sales are directly linked to Zaocheng Mining Group.

Xiao Guo simply takes a high salary, drinks tea and reads newspapers, and that's his work.

Er Ying and Tong Qing have gotten much better after treatment in the Provincial Capital.

Er Ying can do simple housework, and Tong Qing can also speak a few words now.

Xiao Guo lives together with them in Qi He. Sister no longer has to worry about him.

When I find time, I will definitely go to Qi He to see the current situation of Qi He Kuang.

Just as I was thinking that, the phone rang.

Li Ming replied with a text message,

He will bring Xiao Long back to the company tomorrow,

I replied to him with "Okay".

At this moment, Shi Yong came in from outside,

As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door of my office,

"Brother, what's going on? After drinking with Niu Ju yesterday, how did it become like this? Sun Dajun was promoted to General Manager.

I can't understand, why this happened.

I sent Xiao Hua home, and he kept complaining about you all the way, saying you were messing around.

Although Xiao Hua's management of the company hasn't been great these years, he does have many years of experience.

That Sun Dajun is just a green youngster,

You suddenly promoted him to General Manager,

How outsiders will view our company,

Will they think our company is a joke.

It's so casual to replace a General Manager; regarding replacing Sun Dajun as General Manager, I sincerely disagree."

Shi Yong spoke incessantly.

After hearing Shi Yong finish speaking,

I asked Shi Yong for a cigarette,

After lighting it, I started smoking, and after two puffs,

I said, "Shi Yong, not only you disagree, I also disagree in my heart. But what can we do by disagreeing? Sometimes I also can't be the head of the household."

"What, you're the chairman, your word is law in the company, how can you not be the head of the household?" Shi Yong asked.

I looked at Shi Yong,

"Shi Yong, when we were drinking yesterday, did you notice Niu Ju deliberately picking a fight? First he picked on Hou Laoban because Hou Laoban didn't sponsor him.

Later he had Li Kezhang and Captain Guo compete with you in drinking.

Fortunately your drinking capacity is good, you made those two submit.

Do you know why Niu Ju wants to stir trouble? Because Niu Ju wants to use the incident of Xiao Long confronting Sun Dajun to trouble Li Ming.

Not only does Xiao Long have to go in for punishment, Li Ming also has to undergo investigation.

You say I could just ignore it?"

"Li Ming's matter, you obviously have to handle it. But how did it become linked with Sun Dajun becoming General Manager?" Shi Yong said.

"Niu Ju's intention is to make Sun Dajun the General Manager. Only then can he let Li Ming and Xiao You go. Can I refuse Niu Ju's condition and prevent Sun Dajun from becoming General Manager?"

I took a drag of the cigarette and said.

"That's really the point. I didn't expect Niu Ju to become such a person; his reach is too long. Why does he meddle and point fingers at our group's affairs?" Shi Yong said angrily.

"Of course it's for profit. Shi Yong, forget it, let's not think about this. When you sent Xiao Hua home, besides his complaints about me, did he also complain about Sun Dajun, Niu Ju, and them?" I asked.

"About that, Xiao Hua didn't mention Niu Ju, but he harshly scolded Sun Dajun, calling him heartless, ungrateful, basically a beast," Shi Yong said.

"Now Xiao Hua also knows Sun Dajun is a beast. He just doesn't know this is Niu Ju's arrangement.

Shi Yong, I've arranged something for you; find time to have a drink with Xiao Hua.

Tell Xiao Hua about Niu Ju arranging Sun Dajun as General Manager.

See what his reaction is.

I just can't understand how a conflict arose between them.

Xiao Hua has a brother‑in‑law relationship with Niu Ju,

How could Niu Ju abandon Xiao Hua and use Sun Dajun instead?"

"I feel that this godson relationship is closer than the brother‑in‑law one. Brother‑in‑law is just a partnership in that aspect. The godson is more obedient," Shi Yong said.

After hearing Shi Yong's words, I just wanted to laugh,

"Shi Yong, you're too vulgar; the same words in your mouth turn sour. Still, you make sense. I think besides the relationship, there are other matters.

I feel the larger their conflict, the more beneficial it is for us."

"Let them quarrel, fine, I Shi Yong will stir the fire again. Tonight I'll go find Xiao Hua for a drink, chat with him, and see his reaction," Shi Yong said.

I said, "Alright, Shi Yong, some words shouldn't be said so plainly. As long as Xiao Hua understands, that's enough. I brushed him off for a reason."

Don't worry, brother. There's another thing: how could Ya Li also be supporting Sun Dajun? They got together so quickly. Shi Yong said.

What do you mean by 'got together'? Sun Dajun is how old, and Ya Li is how old. Shi Yong, don't think wildly. Ya Li supports Sun Dajun because she's considering Southern Group's interests. I said.

What era is this? Age is hardly a gap nowadays. Nowadays, old men eating young grass is common.

Maybe Ya Li just likes that type. I've tried giving her flirtatious looks several times, but she got no response—turns out she doesn't like muscular men. Shi Yong said, exaggeratingly raising his thick arms.

Enough, stop showing off your muscles. Hey, besides Ya Ling liking your muscles, Shi Yong, don't mess around with Ya Li—after all, she's a representative of Southern Group.

We still owe them money.

By the way, go check the construction site tomorrow to see how Shi Jinhe's work speed has been these past few days.

I'll wait for Li Ming tomorrow and have Xiao Long apologize to Sun Dajun in person. I said.

Going to the construction site is simple, but making Xiao Long apologize is probably difficult—this kid has a somewhat stubborn temperament. Shi Yong said.

He's a bit stubborn, but we still have to do it. You don't know—Niu Ju has already canceled his internship quota at the police station. If he doesn't apologize, he might not be able to fulfill his wish. I said, smoking and looking downstairs.

Alright, then you persuade Xiao Long. I'm going to meet Xiao Hua.

Tonight, you figure out something to eat on your own. Shi Yong said.

Don't worry, I'll just have a simple bite at the restaurant tonight—you go get busy. I said.

Shi Yong then left.

I finished that cigarette and then drank two cups of tea,

I was thinking, how should I persuade Xiao Long tomorrow? This Xiao Long really is as Shi Yong said—he has a somewhat stubborn temperament.

At that moment, Sun Dajun and Ya Li pushed the door and came in.

Seeing me, Sun Dajun, who was leaning on a cane and standing, hastily pulled a stool over to sit by me.

Dad, you can't keep standing. Hurry up and sit down to rest.

After making Sun Dajun the General Manager, this kid has been good to me too.

Ya Li said at the side: "Chairman Zhao, Sun Zong just told me he wants to have dinner with you tonight to discuss his ideas."

I looked at Ya Li, then at Sun Dajun,

and then sat down on the stool.

I said: "Dajun, having ideas is good; what I fear most is you having no ideas. In that case, General Kang, let's have dinner together tonight and hear Dajun's ideas."
