Chapter 1413: Something Big Happened

When Zhou Andong returned to the distillery, it was almost midnight. He first smoked a cigarette in the living room, and only after his body was completely warm did he enter the bedroom.

Jian Qiu opened her eyes in a daze, her voice hoarse: "Did the person come?"

"He came!" Zhou Andong got into the quilt.

Jian Qiu turned over, hugged Zhou Andong, and buried her head on his shoulder.

"Sleep."

The next day, Zhou Andong called Gu Qing over to chat about the cooperation with Zhao Liangping.

He said he would hold a board meeting to study it, but actually, he was saying it for Zhao Liangping to hear, telling the other party that the group was not decided by him alone.

During the negotiation, I compromised, which means I, Zhou Andong, treat you, Zhao Liangping, as a brother, resisting the pressure from the board of directors to give you profit.

If I don't compromise, it's because the board of directors doesn't agree, and I, the Chairman, have to consider everyone's emotions and cannot engage in arbitrary decisions, otherwise the enterprise will have problems.

Even if Zhao Liangping finds out in the end that Yuxi Real Estate has nothing to do with Yugong Group, Zhou Andong doesn't care. Don't say I deceived your feelings; that's too naive. Business negotiations are, of course, a mix of truth and falsehood.

"Cooperation is no problem." Gu Qing said: "After the New Year, I will organize a team to go to Yangcheng for inspection."

"Then that's it."

Zhou Andong tapped the table with a pen.

"In the afternoon, I will let Zhao Liangping go to Yuxi Real Estate to find you. Remember, be strong during the negotiation; you don't need to give me face."

"Understood!" Gu Qing chuckled: "Then I'll go back; it's the end of the year, and I'm dizzy with work."

"Go ahead!" Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile.

It's the end of the year, and before the holiday, all departments are busy with finishing work, conducting annual summaries, and holding annual meetings.

Especially the financial departments are the busiest, with year-end inventory, closing accounts, verifying income and expenses, and organizing various accounts.

Especially the Group Finance Department, auditing, issuing annual reports, preparing the budget for the second year, and preparing for tax liquidation.

In addition, this year is the first year of dividends, and the accounting workload for this part is not small.

There are also a bunch of things like wages, performance bonuses, year-end bonuses, and welfare distribution.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone on the desk rang. Zhou Andong grabbed the phone, and Du Chunlai's voice came from the receiver.

"Chairman, something happened."

Zhou Andong's eyes twitched. Du Chunlai called him personally, so the matter definitely wasn't small.

"What happened?"

Du Chunlai said in a deep voice: "Three of our factory workers, on their way home from the early shift this morning, encountered several hooligans molesting a woman. They stepped forward to stop them and were stabbed by the hooligans with knives. Two of them were seriously injured, and the situation is not very optimistic."

Zhou Andong asked: "Does Director Wu know?"

Du Chunlai said: "She doesn't know; she went to inspect the branch factory. It's almost New Year, so she definitely has to go down for a walk."

Zhou Andong asked again: "Which hospital are they in?"

Du Chunlai said: "Affiliated Hospital."

"I'm going over now."

After Zhou Andong hung up the phone, he called the car pool and asked Wang Wentian to prepare the car.

Then he got up, put on his down jacket, and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he almost bumped into Gu Bing.

"In the morning, what are you doing sneakily at my office door?"

Gu Bing said angrily: "What do you mean sneaky? I was just about to knock on the door, and you came out."

Zhou Andong ignored him and walked away.

Gu Bing chased after him: "So urgent, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Andong explained the situation: "I didn't have time to ask in detail whether those hooligans were caught."

"I'll go with you."

As a group director, such a big thing happened, so he had to go see it.

The two left the factory office, and Wang Wentian had already parked the car at the entrance.

After getting in the car, Zhou Andong said: "Go to the Affiliated Hospital."

At the same time, Du Chunlai and Deputy Factory Director Yan Zhimin, as well as the workshop directors and team leaders of the three injured workers, also drove to the Affiliated Hospital.

They drove relatively fast and arrived at the hospital one after another with Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong grabbed a young nurse and was asking about the three heroes who were stabbed by hooligans while acting bravely, whether they were in the emergency room or the operating room.

"You are Zhou Andong."

The young nurse had sharp eyes and recognized Zhou Andong at once, saying excitedly.

"I know about this matter. One was slightly injured, and the other two were seriously injured and have already been pushed into the operating room."

Zhou Andong asked again: "Which floor is the operating room on?"

The young nurse pointed to a corridor not far ahead: "Walk inside, go left after going out the door, and there is a three-story small building.

Pass through the three-story small building, and behind it is the inpatient department. The operating room is on the seventh floor of the inpatient department, numbers five and six."

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhou Andong thanked her and walked quickly inside.

The young nurse seemed worried and ran after him.

"I'll take you there."

Zhou Andong did not refuse; having someone lead the way was better than searching around by himself.

The Affiliated Hospital was the best Grade A hospital in western Liaoning, and it was being expanded, so it was too messy inside. Even if you were told, you would have to search for a while.

Zhou Andong, Gu Bing, and Wang Wentian entered from the emergency side, while Du Chunlai and the others drove directly into the inpatient department parking lot.

Zhou Andong, Gu Bing, and Wang Wentian, led by the young nurse, had just arrived outside the operating room on the seventh floor of the inpatient department when Du Chunlai and the others also arrived.

"Chairman!" Yan Zhimin shouted.

Zhou Andong turned his head and saw Yan Zhimin and Du Chunlai.

"You guys came so fast."

Du Chunlai sighed: "Such a big thing happened, Xiao Zheng almost stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank."

"The matter has already happened." Zhou Andong said: "We can only do our best to let the results develop in a good direction."

Gu Bing said: "Don't chat here, hurry up."

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong nodded.

The young nurse was still leading the way in front, walking along the corridor, then turning a corner. In front was a large hall with many people.

Some were standing, some were sitting, and some were squatting there wiping tears.

A young man was sitting on a rest chair with his head down, his arm injured, wrapped in thick gauze.

Workshop Director Ma Qilin walked over quickly: "Wei Zhiyong."

The young man looked up, saw it was Ma Qilin, and stood up.

"Director."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes turned red, and he choked, unable to say a word.

Zhou Andong thanked the young nurse again, then walked over and patted Wei Zhiyong on the shoulder.

"You guys are all good, you didn't lose face for our distillery."

"Chairman."

Seeing that Zhou Andong had come, Wei Zhiyong's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Yang Hai was stabbed seven times. When he was sent here, he was already unconscious. Zhu Weijun was stabbed three times, the situation is a bit better, but the doctor said it's not very optimistic either."

Zhou Andong patted Wei Zhiyong on the shoulder again: "Which ones are Yang Hai and Zhu Weijun's parents?"

Wei Zhiyong turned and shouted: "Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhu, our Chairman and Vice Chairman are here." ===== CHAPTER 1414 =====
