Chapter 118
Below, there was silence. Those who understood naturally understood, and those who didn't thought Zhou Andong was arrogant because he had succeeded. But the situation was stronger than the people, and no one dared to be the first bird.
Liu Zhiguang and Qian Wei's faces were pale, and they felt the back of their necks cold. At this time, Zhou Andong was a big knife hanging over their heads, and they didn't know when it would fall.
Those people in the Quality Inspection Section were on pins and needles. Back then, they hadn't squeezed Zhou Andong less, and even colluded with Liu Zhiguang to wear small shoes for Zhou Andong. At this time, their intestines were green with regret. Just because Liu Zhiguang was qualified and had a good relationship with Chang Kezhang Zhao Donghai, they thought he had a bright future, so naturally, they couldn't help but flatter him.
Especially after Zhou Andong was transferred to the radio station, Liu Zhiguang picked up a bargain and became deputy section chief, and this group of guys flattered him even more. If they didn't step on Zhou Andong a couple of times when they saw him, they couldn't even eat dinner well at night. But starting today, not only could they not eat well, but they probably couldn't even sleep well at night.
Zhou Andong's first fire was very successful, mainly because Chen Laolai, Ding Liuhe, and Meng Xiaoping were heavy enough targets. The deterrent effect after killing them was quite large.
After the second fire was burned, some restless ones would probably be able to settle down.
Zhou Andong walked back and forth twice more, then bent down to pick up the red cloth bag containing the money, put it on the table, and looked at the crowd below with a smile: "Now I'm taking this money away, does anyone have any objections?"
At this time, who would dare to have objections? If anyone dared to show their head, that wouldn't be having a hard head, but being brainless.
"Since no one has any objections!" Zhou Andong waved his hand, "Then let's adjourn the meeting. After eating, go to work. Do more, let's sell a few more bottles of liquor, and we can get more dividends at the end of the year."
All employees began to leave in an orderly manner. They never thought that by attending a meeting, they could eat such a big melon, and eat it one after another. They didn't even want to eat dinner, because they were almost full from eating melons.
Out of the Cultural Palace, they started discussing the share issue in groups of three. If it were two months ago, they would definitely not be interested, and would even curse the leaders for not being well-intentioned and wanting to cheat them of their money. But now the situation was different. Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor was in short supply, and everyone could see the future of the distillery.
The more than ten brothers from the second workshop didn't leave. Wu Cheng said with a grin: "Brother, no, Factory Director, can you arrange an official position for me to sit in?"
Old Kai cursed with a scoff: "Get lost, do you have the head of an official?"
"Fuck!" Wu Cheng cursed: "Brother Kai, don't look down on me. Let me tell you, I am gold buried in the soil. As long as the factory director excavates, I can shine."
"Forget it!" Old Kai said: "Gold will indeed shine, but you are glass shards, it's good enough if you can reflect light."
These words caused a roar of laughter from the crowd, and Zhou Andong also smiled: "After you go back, prepare money. Smash the pot and sell the iron, borrow if you can, buy as many shares as you can."
"Good!" More than ten people agreed in unison. They were the ones who trusted and supported Zhou Andong the most in the factory. Naturally, they believed whatever Zhou Andong said.
More than ten guys ran away, and Zhou Andong looked at Yao Qixin, whose face was ashen: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Yao Qixin moved his lips wanting to say something, but finally didn't say it, instead looking at Wang Ruomei, whose face was like ice on the side.
A tear slid from the corner of Wang Ruomei's eye, and then she stubbornly wiped it hard with her sleeve: "Factory Director, I want to resign."
Zhou Andong was stunned: "The matter has already been clarified, and you still want to resign?"
"Right!" Wang Ruomei said: "I've already been splashed with sewage all over. Even if I wash it clean, it still smells. It's better to stay away from here, so everyone doesn't see it and doesn't feel disgusted."
Zhou Andong said: "The distillery is about to undergo comprehensive reform and establish a joint-stock company. Do you know that this opportunity is rare in a thousand years?"
"I know!" Wang Ruomei still insisted: "But there is more than one opportunity in life. If you miss this one, there will be a second one."
Jian Qiu asked: "Where do you plan to go?"
Wang Ruomei shook her head: "Take it one step at a time. A big living person, can they be suffocated by urine?"
Jian Qiu said: "How about this, I opened a shop outside, come and help me."
Wang Ruomei was surprised, thought about it, and refused: "I want to go to the south to take a look."
Zhou Andong didn't persuade her anymore, and Jian Qiu naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"Taking a look over there is also fine, there are more opportunities." Jian Qiu turned and opened the red cloth bag containing the money, took out ten thousand and stuffed it into Wang Ruomei's hand, "Take it, just treat it as me lending it to you. Pay me back when you have money in the future."
Wang Ruomei's eyes turned red again: "Director Jian, thank you." After speaking, she looked at Zhou Andong, "I wish you happiness."
Jian Qiu hugged Wang Ruomei: "Come back if you miss home. Zhou Andong and I will always be your closest people."
Finally, she couldn't hold back the tears. Wang Ruomei took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "I will."
Yao Qixin stood there alone. Wang Ruomei jumped off the stage, and seeing Yao Qixin didn't move, she turned back and said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? Go home."
Seeing Wang Ruomei talking to him, Yao Qixin was happy, but Wang Ruomei's next words made him cry.
"Go back and get the marriage certificate. You know where it is. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. If you don't arrive before the Civil Affairs Bureau gets off work, I'll chop you up when I go back tonight."
Watching Yao Qixin follow Wang Ruomei in a daze, Jian Qiu sighed: "Self-inflicted, but looking at it, it's really quite pitiful."
Zhou Andong snorted coldly: "Pitiful people must have something hateful about them. It's you who are generous enough, giving ten thousand yuan just like that."
Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong with a smile that wasn't a smile, making Zhou Andong's heart feel prickly.
"What are you looking at?"
Jian Qiu gave him a big white eye: "Don't think I don't know about the little things between you two."
"No..." Zhou Andong was anxious, "What do we two have? Tell me clearly."
Jian Qiu said with a smile: "Really let me say it?"
Zhou Andong suddenly waved his hand with a guilty conscience: "Forget it, I won't argue with you."
Jian Qiu laughed: "Guilty, right?"
"What am I guilty about." Zhou Andong muttered, took forty thousand from the red cloth bag and handed it to Yao Jun, "I'm lending you this money, you go back and scrape together more, scrape together as much as you can."
Yao Jun took the money and asked: "Don't you need it?"
Zhou Andong said: "I've already been allocated shares, if I take out money to buy more, the eating posture will be too ugly."
Yao Jun nodded, stuffed the money into his cotton coat pocket—fortunately, the cotton coat pocket was relatively large—and then patted the bulging pocket: "I'll go find Tang Wenjuan and tell her."
Yao Jun also left. Zhou Andong sat on the chair, took out a cigarette and lit it: "I really didn't expect that our Secretary Cheng is quite bold, actually really allocating shares to me."
Gu Bing chuckled: "Do you know what his nickname is?"
