Chapter 535: Internal Major Cleanup?

"Yanzi, you've only been back a few days, and Chen Yang wants to send you off to Deep City—too bullying! I'm going to find him and talk to him." He Guangming had finally looked forward to his daughter's return; he didn't expect that right after finishing her wedding, Chen Yang would assign her to Deep City for training. This made him very uncomfortable.

"Dad, Deep City is a special zone; our provincial capital can't compare to it. How could that be called a posting?" He Jinyan had always been full of fantasies about Deep City; Ouyang Sheng had just conveyed Chen Yang's opinion to her, and she agreed without hesitation.

"You've been spoiled since childhood; suddenly going to a faraway, unfamiliar place, I really can't rest easy!" He Guangming naturally knew Deep City was a good place. But the two cities are too far apart; it's hard for father and daughter to meet even occasionally. He said in a consultative tone: "Just find a job in Qingshui City; lower pay doesn't matter—our family isn't short of money."

He Jinyan spoke softly: "Dad, this isn't about money. My husband is about to be sent to Goat City to develop the market. The boss letting me go to Deep City for training is just to hold a nominal position there; later I'll be sent to Goat City to reunite with my husband. You surely don't want me, just married, to live apart from my husband, right?"

He Guangming, hearing this, said unhappily: "Ouyang Sheng too—working with his father at the Tax Bureau would be fine; why does he have to go around causing trouble? Over a broken Audi, he's now become Chen Yang's lackey."

He Jinyan saw He Guangming criticizing her husband, unhappily retorted: "Dad, don't talk nonsense—that Audi was new when it came into my husband's hands. Moreover, the boss didn't just give a car; today he also gave my husband a Happy Countryside apartment as a wedding home."

"What are you saying? Chen Yang gave that brat Ouyang Sheng another apartment?" He Guangming, surprised, also slightly frowned; after a while he muttered to himself: "This guy wouldn't be trying to bribe me and Ouyang Sheng's father, would he?"

He Jinyan gave He Guangming a roll of her eyes. "Dad, aren't you overestimating yourself? Their backing is the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Kong and Mayor Lin. Over these years, he's carried out so many big projects in the Southern District; when has he ever taken the initiative to see you?"

He Guangming snorted: "Times have changed; Chen Yang and Mayor Lin's daughter are already divorced. Haven't you seen how unfriendly Old Master Lin is toward him?"

He Jinyan said dismissively: "Old Master Lin doesn't like my boss, but Mayor Lin's daughter remains close to my boss. According to my husband, they're actually making a sacrifice for Qingshui City—exchanging the dissolution of their marriage for greater investment in Qingshui City."

"Hmph, that's just Ouyang Sheng brat guessing wildly!" He Guangming had actually asked Chen Yang himself for the answer; he genuinely admired him. The main reason for his displeasure right now is still that his daughter has to go work in Deep City.

Southern cities are all flashy, worldly places; after staying there a long time, the couple probably won't want to return to Qingshui City.

He Jinyan actually understood He Guangming's feelings; she patiently persuaded: "Dad, Goat City isn't far either; I miss you—taking the train back is just a night's journey."

He Guangming said displeased: "If you work in Qingshui City, we can see each other every day—isn't that better than going to Goat City?"

He Jinyan comforted her father: "Dad, my husband and I working in Goat City is only temporary. Once the market there is developed, we will definitely return to work in Qingshui City."

He Guangming looked at He Jinyan with a doubtful gaze: "My precious daughter, that place is a flashy world; you've grown accustomed to the good life there—would you still look down on Qingshui City, this dump?"

He Jinyan laughed: "Dad, rest easy! Gold nests and silver nests aren't as good as one's own doghouse. No matter where I go, I'm still a person of Qingshui City!"

"Besides, the company's headquarters is in Qingshui City; my boss doesn't like managing affairs, so he'll definitely let my husband come back to take charge. By then I'll come back too."

He Guangming, hearing this, thought his daughter was being unrealistic: "The person in charge of Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd has always been Song Yajun; even if it goes public, it would still be them as CEO—how could it possibly be handed over to that greenhorn Ouyang Sheng?"

He Jinyan saw He Guangming looking down on Ouyang Sheng, displeased: "Dad, what's lacking about my husband? Why can't you say a few good things about him?"

He Guangming immediately put on a smile: "Good daughter, don't be angry—I'm stating facts! I've interacted with Song Yajun many times. Though he lacks pioneering spirit, his execution ability is strong. As long as he firmly carries out Chen Yang's plan, Ouyang Sheng definitely won't get a chance."

He Jinyan gave a light snort: "Dad, you're definitely going to misjudge this time. The boss recalled my husband from Xinan County precisely to split Song Yajun's power."

He Guangming furrowed his brows at once. If his daughter wasn't mistaken, that means Chen Yang intends to carry out a major purge of the internal management of Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd.

The matter of Song Yajun inviting Modu businesspeople to visit Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd, He Guangming was aware of. But Kong Jie and Lin Jianguo gave no response, so he didn't think much of it. Unexpectedly, this matter touched Chen Yang's reverse scale!

He Guangming suddenly felt torn. If Chen Yang removes the old-timers led by Song Yajun from Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd, will the company erupt in a major upheaval? Will there still be a chance to go public in the future?

Thinking of this, he no longer bothered to persuade his daughter about going to Deep City; he immediately returned to his study and called Lin Jianguo.

"Mayor, I've heard Chen Yang wants to carry out an internal major purge of Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. Will that affect their IPO plans?"

On the other end of the line, Lin Jianguo replied in a low voice: "Director He, this is an internal matter of Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd; let's not worry about it."

He Guangming saw Lin Jianguo not worried either, and his heart instantly relaxed. Chen Yang can become the richest person in Dongjiangsheng, owning several well-known enterprises province‑wide; his management ability is beyond doubt. What he worries most about is the other party ignoring everything and handing all important responsibilities to Ouyang Sheng.

His son‑in‑law's character is too flamboyant; at present serving as a market director is passable, but being CEO of a listed company would surely cause a big joke…

Thinking of this, He Guangming decided to meet Chen Yang again for a talk. If the other party is determined to get rid of Song Yajun, then he, as the district head of Southern District, also needs to make some preparations in advance.

Bear in mind, Song Yajun has been managing Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd for over a decade, with many close subordinates. If a mass incident were to break out, he, as the district head, couldn't avoid responsibility either.
