Chapter 1387

~8 min read 1,451 words

Xiong Zhaoming was very angry at being blocked at the gate, feeling that his authority had been seriously provoked.

It was really because Liu Qingjun was too polite to him yesterday. If the person standing in front of him was Old Liu from the distillery,

he would be angry, but he would definitely not think that his authority had been provoked.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he, this Industrial Department leader, had no prestige at all in the distillery.

"Director, Factory Director Liu has come," a woman said, leaning her body and whispering.

Liu Qingjun walked over with a full face of smiles, "Director Xiong, I thought you all returned to the province today, so I didn't make any preparations."

Xiong Zhaoming, who had a dark face, was stunned; he hadn't mentioned visiting the research institute at all.

According to the normal itinerary, after visiting the electronics factory yesterday, they were indeed returning to the province today.

Thinking of this, the Director's gloomy face instantly cleared up, and he felt a bit embarrassed in his heart.

Comrade Liu Qingjun was so good, and he had misunderstood him; it really shouldn't have happened.

"Factory Director Liu, normally speaking, we are indeed returning to the province today. But the day I came down, the Department leader told me that there were many world-renowned research achievements that were born in our Jiangzhou Electronics Factory Research Institute, making the people of the whole country proud.

Although the glory is no longer there, he has always been thinking about it. When he learned that the electronics factory had been acquired by the Yugong Group and invested heavily in new research projects, he was so excited he didn't sleep for several days.

That day, he held my hand and repeatedly instructed me to visit your electronics factory research institute on his behalf. If there are any difficulties, you can bring them up, and the Department will definitely solve them as appropriate. Originally, I was going to go yesterday afternoon, but the TV station suddenly came to interview, so the matter was delayed."

Solve as appropriate?

Liu Qingjun sneered in his heart; this was just bullshit.

Besides smelling very flavorful, you couldn't grasp or see anything.

Liu Qingjun said very helplessly, "Director Xiong, you want to visit the research institute?"

Xiong Zhaoming said with some displeasure, "Why, is Factory Director Liu very troubled?"

"No, no!" Liu Qingjun waved his hands hurriedly, giving a bitter smile, "Visiting the research institute, it's not up to me to say."

"It's not up to you?" Xiong Zhaoming didn't believe it at all, thinking it was Liu Qingjun pushing him off, "You are the Factory Director of the electronics factory; if it's not up to you, who is it up to? I'm telling you, this was instructed by the Department leader; you better consider the consequences."

"You don't know," Liu Qingjun explained, "The research institute is nominally managed by the electronics factory, but it is independently managed and operated. Even I, this Factory Director, have to apply and register to go to the research institute; if I don't get permission, I can't get in either."

"What?" Xiong Zhaoming's brow furrowed, "Independently managed and operated, and even you, this Factory Director, can't get in?"

"Right!" Liu Qingjun asked, "Do you know Qiu Dongfang?"

Xiong Zhaoming said with some annoyance, "I know, that Hong Kong-funded enterprise."

Liu Qingjun nodded, "Now the electronics factory is jointly controlled by the Yugong Group and Qiu Dongfang, but the research institute has been split off and fully acquired by Qiu Dongfang. In other words, if you want to visit the research institute, even the Group's Board of Directors doesn't have the right to decide; you have to have the high-level leaders of Qiu Dongfang nod."

Xiong Zhaoming was stunned; he could play the official power with any enterprise in the province, whether it was a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, and use the power in his hands to exert pressure to achieve his goals.

But facing foreign capital, he still had self-knowledge. Running to the door of foreign capital to play official power—don't say his head was made of iron, even if it was titanium alloy, it would have to be knocked open by others.

But he couldn't not go in; the money had been taken, and he had patted his chest and guaranteed it. More importantly, as long as the matter was handled, the other party would build a factory in Fengjing, which related to whether he could sit in that Director's chair.

A middle-aged man beside him with a corrupt belly said, "I heard that Zhou Andong is the General Manager of Qiu Dongfang."

When Xiong Zhaoming heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Qingjun, "Zhou Andong is the General Manager of Qiu Dongfang?"

Liu Qingjun sighed in his heart and could only nod, "Right!"

Xiong Zhaoming smiled, "Factory Director Liu, you call Zhou Andong and tell him I want to visit the research institute."

Liu Qingjun shook his head, "Director Xiong, I am only the Factory Director of the electronics factory, not even a Director; if I call, not only will it be useless, but I will also be scolded."

Xiong Zhaoming thought about it and felt that Liu Qingjun's credibility was still quite high.

Just looking at the hospitality standard at noon yesterday, Liu Qingjun and Zhou Andong were definitely not on good terms.

If this call was made, Liu Qingjun being scolded was one hundred percent certain.

"Go to your office; I will make this call myself."

"Fine!" Liu Qingjun could only agree, taking Xiong Zhaoming and the others to the factory building.

Xu Jiangshan hadn't spoken, silently following behind.

He had been pondering in his heart why Xiong Zhaoming insisted on going to the research institute.

Could it be that, just as the Chairman said, his purpose was very impure?

Liu Qingjun arrived at the office, first poured a cup of tea for Xiong Zhaoming, and then grabbed the phone and called Zhou Andong.

Soon, Zhou Andong's voice came from the receiver, "Who is this!"

Liu Qingjun said with a smile, "Chairman, it's me; Director Xiong from the Provincial Industrial Department is in my office, and he wants to talk to you on the phone."

"He wants to talk to me?" Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Fine, give the phone to him."

Liu Qingjun looked at Xiong Zhaoming, holding the phone and gesturing, "Director Xiong."

Xiong Zhaoming put down the teacup, got up and walked over, and took the phone, "Zhou Andong, I am Xiong Zhaoming, Deputy Director of the Provincial Industrial Department."

"I know it's you," Zhou Andong said in a very flat tone, "If you have anything to say, just say it; I'm very busy."

Xiong Zhaoming's anger flared up; this Zhou Andong was truly lawless.

Listening to this tone, not only did he not take him to heart, but he also treated him as a subordinate.

"Zhou Andong!" Xiong Zhaoming said in a very stiff tone, "The Department leader is very concerned about the work of the research institute. When I came down, the Department leader repeatedly instructed me to visit the research institute on his behalf. If there are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Zhou Andong.

"The research institute has a very high security level; Qiu Dongfang does not allow any irrelevant personnel to visit. That's it."

"Beep beep beep..."

Before Xiong Zhaoming could react, a busy signal came from the receiver.

This old thing's face turned from black to white, from white to green, from green to green, then from green to purple...

His chest heaved violently, and the sound of his wheezing could be heard by everyone in the office.

Liu Qingjun and Xu Jiangshan looked at each other, and the two smiled imperceptibly.

And the others were so scared they didn't dare to move, even breathing lightly and slowly, afraid of startling Xiong Zhaoming and bringing fire upon themselves.

After a while, Xiong Zhaoming took a long breath and slowly put down the phone.

"Old Feng, notify the Department that the Jiangzhou Distillery has serious safety hazards, order it to suspend business for rectification for one month, and impose a fine of eight million yuan."

You, Zhou Andong, aren't you arrogant? Even I, this Deputy Director of the Industrial Department, aren't in your eyes.

Fine, I want to see if your neck is harder, Zhou Andong, or if the guillotine in my hand is harder.

If I don't make you kneel in front of me, I, Xiong Zhaoming, will change my name from now on and call myself Dog Zhaoming.
