Chapter 1361

Jiangzhou!

Industrial Park, Yugong Liquor Industry Main Factory.

Two small cars with provincial capital license plates and one bus stopped at the factory entrance, and more than thirty people got off.

Tall, short, fat, thin, men and women alike, they stood there, looking at the quiet factory gate with expressions of disbelief.

"Where are the people?"

A middle-aged woman dressed fashionably with a large wavy perm shouted with a livid face.

"What is going on? The provincial inspection team has arrived, and there isn't even anyone here to welcome us?"

A guy wearing a suit, with a potbelly and big ears, had a face so gloomy it could drip water.

He was Xiong Zhaoming, Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Industry and the leader of this inspection team.

Accompanying the team were key members of the Department of Industry and leaders of state-owned enterprises, and that middle-aged woman.

She was Jiao Meimei, Director of the Publicity Division of the Provincial Department of Industry.

At this moment, the gatekeeper, Old Liu, ran out; he was also an old employee of the distillery, a few years younger than Old Zhao.

"Oh my, are you the leaders of the inspection team from the province?"

Jiao Meimei asked with a dark face: "What is going on with your factory? Weren't you notified yesterday that the inspection team was coming down? Why isn't there even anyone here to welcome us?"

It was no wonder she was angry; their department organized inspection teams to go down every month, regardless of whether it was a state-owned or private enterprise.

Which one didn't welcome them with lanterns and colored streamers, firecrackers, and gongs and drums?

But looking at the Jiangzhou Distillery, they really didn't take them seriously at all.

They were notified yesterday, but upon arriving here, there wasn't a single person.

"You were half an hour late, and the leaders thought you weren't coming, so they went back." Old Liu said with a face full of smiles: "I will call and notify the factory leaders right now."

Old Liu turned and ran into the guard room, grabbed the phone, and called the General Office.

At this time, Tian Zhuang, Director of the General Office, was standing in front of the window, seeing the situation at the main gate clearly.

Tian Zhuang was the director of the No. 9 branch factory, just over forty, with very strong capabilities, and Qian Zhen had recommended him to Wu Huilin.

Since he was recommended by Qian Zhen, Wu Huilin naturally trusted him, and it was exactly the time when people were needed.

She transferred Tian Zhuang over without hesitation to serve as the Director of the Group's General Office.

The phone on the desk rang, and Tian Zhuang smiled; he naturally knew who was calling.

After letting it ring a few times, he turned and picked up the phone, then heard Old Liu's voice.

"Director, the provincial inspection team is here, right at the main gate."

Tian Zhuang asked: "What did you say?"

"I said exactly what you told me to." Old Liu's voice was very soft: "That leader's face turned black; he looks very angry."

Tian Zhuang laughed: "Like this, in a while, tell them the phone in the leader's office isn't working, and you have to go to the factory department in person to notify them, so ask them to wait a bit longer. Remember, your attitude must be good."

Old Liu patted his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, Director, I guarantee I'll handle things properly."

"That's it then!" Tian Zhuang hung up the phone and then called Zhou Andong: "Chairman, the inspection team is here."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "The leader of the team is Deputy Director Xiong Zhaoming of the Department of Industry. I inquired a bit, and this guy's reputation isn't great, so let them drink the northwest wind at the gate for a while."

Tian Zhuang checked the time: "It's almost noon; should I take them to eat first, or take them to visit first?"

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "Take them to eat first, then take them to visit, and send them to the municipal guesthouse in the evening. Remember, after sending them there, you all come back; let them pay for the accommodation and meals themselves."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong cursed: "Damn it, coming to me to sponge off a meal, do they really think my money was blown here by a strong wind?"

Tian Zhuang's mouth twitched: "This, it might not be very good, no matter what, that is a Deputy Director of the Department of Industry, what if they give us a hard time..."

"It's fine." Zhou Andong said: "I've already arranged everything; no matter how angry they are, they have to swallow it. They don't have the guts to give us a hard time."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Tian Zhuang felt relieved; if the Chairman said it was fine, then it was definitely fine.

"Then, can I improvise here?"

Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "Yes, just improvise, don't be afraid of offending them."

"Alright!" Tian Zhuang also laughed: "With your words, I'm not afraid of a fart."

"That's it then."

Zhou Andong hung up the phone and picked up a cigarette to light one.

After taking two puffs, he reached out and picked up the phone to dial a string of numbers, and the other party answered quickly.

Zhou Andong called out in a syrupy voice: "Dad, how have you been lately?"

"Cough... cough cough cough... cough cough..."

A burst of coughing came from the receiver, and it was a while before Jian Zhengxue sighed.

"Can you stop being so mushy, you brat? I just sprayed a mouthful of water all over the documents."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Calling you Dad makes it seem intimate, doesn't it?"

"Enough." Jian Zhengxue said hurriedly: "Calling me Dad is intimate enough, but don't call me 'Daddy', I've got goosebumps."

Zhou Andong suppressed his laughter: "I think calling you 'Daddy' is better."

"Talk about business!" Jian Zhengxue didn't have time to mess around with him.

"Alright, let's talk business." Zhou Andong said: "The Yugong Group has been established for a year, and our factory's thousands of employees have been working day and night, achieving such great success. You, as a leader, aren't you going to come down and take a look, to boost the morale of the vast number of employees, and let us create brilliance again?"

Jian Zhengxue was silent for a moment: "Are you brat brewing some kind of mischief?"

"Daddy!" Zhou Andong said dissatisfied: "How can you say that? Aren't I your son?"

"Stop!" Jian Zhengxue said: "You are my son-in-law."

"As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son."

Zhou Andong picked up the handset, leaned back, and put his feet on the desk.

"Half a son is still a son. If you don't agree, I'll go tell my mom that you don't recognize me as your son."

Zhou Andong brought out the old lady of the house, and Jian Zhengxue's face turned black.

As for Gu Minglan now, she likes this brat as much as she disliked Zhou Andong in the beginning.

No matter who she is chatting with, she will definitely mention Zhou Andong, and then looking at the envious eyes of others, she couldn't be more proud.

If he dared not to recognize Zhou Andong as this half-son, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat when he got home.

Thinking about it, Jian Zhengxue suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the past at home, his wife was number one, his daughter was number two, and he was number three.

Now that he had a son-in-law, he always felt his position could move.

But looking at it now, his position had indeed moved, just not from third to fourth.

Especially encountering a thick-skinned son-in-law like Zhou Andong, he reckoned he definitely couldn't suppress him.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in asking me to come down?"

"What purpose could I have?" Zhou Andong said very seriously: "A son has achieved results, and just wants to show off in front of his father and get a word of praise."
