Chapter 1602: You Are My Big Floral Padded Jacket in Winter

"Oh, so it's Zhang Zong." Zhou Andong revealed a trace of a smile on his face: "Calling on the tenth day of the New Year, are you wishing me a Happy New Year? Hurry up and say it. Once you're done wishing me a Happy New Year, I can go get busy."

"..."

Zhang Shenghui was silent for a moment: "Did you go climb the Great Wall?"

"No!" Zhou Andong knew Zhang Shenghui had nothing good to say.

"How is that possible." Zhang Shenghui said with a certain tone: "If your face hadn't been rubbing back and forth on the city wall, how could it be thicker than before."

"Old Zhang." Zhou Andong said very sadly: "We are business partners, and even more so, intimate brothers. I've always regarded you as my big floral padded jacket in winter, the lightbulb in the night, the bean bun when hungry, and the big popsicle in summer.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect, my sincere heart was ultimately misplaced, and you actually say this about me. Old Zhang, our friendship ends here. From now on, you walk your sunny path, and I'll walk my single-plank bridge."

After finishing, Zhou Andong hung up the phone without hesitation.

Qin Chi headquarters, Zhang Shenghui looked at the phone in his hand, vaguely hearing the busy signal inside, the expression on his face became very colorful.

"This bastard actually hung up on me."

Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man, the General Manager of the Logistics Department, Chen Zhidong, who was also stunned upon seeing this situation.

Because he knew that Zhang Shenghui and Zhou Andong had a very good relationship, so why did it suddenly reach this point?

"Zhang Zong, this..."

Zhang Shenghui waved his hand, sat down, then picked up a cigarette on the desk and lit it. Gradually, a smile appeared on his face.

"This bastard Zhou Andong, he doesn't want to take us along to play."

Chen Zhidong was stunned: "I can play by myself. I'll personally take people to the disaster area for relief, why must I play with Zhou Andong?"

"Zhou Andong is too cunning." Zhang Shenghui shook his head with a smile: "And his influence is far greater than ours. If we play by ourselves, we won't achieve the best results.

Furthermore, the situation in the disaster area must be very complicated. We know nothing, don't understand anything, and even the news hasn't reported it. If we go there blind, we might end up causing a big problem."

Chen Zhidong also knew that this matter couldn't be done just by a hot head. Not to mention that a natural disaster had occurred now, even going to Ali in normal times would easily cause problems if not well prepared.

"The news hasn't reported it, so how did Zhou Andong know this news?"

"Zhou Andong's background is very complicated, and his network of relationships is even more vast. Look at the advertisements on CCTV now, prime time. We've been running for more than a year and haven't gotten a single second.

Yugong Group, however, got two, Yuzhou VCD and Yugong Liquor. At this year's Spring Festival Gala, the guest tables in the front were also all Yugong Group products, and they were given close-ups several times.

And the host's transition lines, 'Drink Jiangzhou Yugong, Taste the Life of a Hundred Flavors,' appeared with very high frequency. Is this something an ordinary person can do?"

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Shenghui felt depressed. He didn't know how many people he had begged, and even offered an astronomical price for advertising fees, but the result was that there was no time slot.

Fortunately, Zhou Andong didn't lie to him. At the end of this year, CCTV would bid for prime-time advertising slots for next year, and no matter how much money it cost, he had to win it.

Chen Zhidong asked: "What now?"

"Cold mix!" Zhang Shenghui picked up the phone again and dialed Zhou Andong's office: "Boss Zhou, Happy New Year."

"..."

This time Zhou Andong was silent: "Old Zhang, did you go climb the Great Wall just now?"

"You guessed right, I even saw you on the Great Wall."

Saying this, Zhang Shenghui laughed loudly. Being able to make Zhou Andong eat a loss made him feel indescribably good.

Zhou Andong sighed: "Old Zhang, isn't it better for us to play our own games?"

"Old Zhou." Zhang Shenghui said with a smile: "I am your big floral padded jacket in winter, the lightbulb in the night, the bean bun when hungry, and the big popsicle in summer. If I leave you to play by yourself, how will you live?"

Zhou Andong's face blossomed with a smile. He wasn't afraid of Zhang Shenghui riding his coattails; there was only one purpose for doing so.

That was to squeeze a little more out of Zhang Shenghui's pocket for the people in the disaster area.

"How much do you plan to donate?"

"Two million." Zhang Shenghui said: "Additionally, I will personally donate twenty thousand, and there are also donations from our Qin Chi employees, which haven't been counted yet."

"Two million is too little." Zhou Andong said very bluntly: "I don't play with people who are too stingy."

"Then I'll donate three million." Zhang Shenghui didn't hesitate at all.

"..."

"Old Zhang, you are truly stingy." Zhou Andong sighed helplessly: "How about this, you get another one million in supplies, rice, flour, and iced black tea."

Zhang Shenghui's face was full of black lines: "I understand rice and flour, but what's the meaning of iced black tea?"

Zhou Andong said righteously: "The disaster area must be short of water. Although iced black tea can't replace water, it can relieve the urgent need, right?"

"Fine!"

Zhang Shenghui was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head. Since he wanted to ride Zhou Andong's coattails, he had to be prepared to be knocked.

"When are we leaving, and where are we meeting?"

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "We'll set off tomorrow morning. Two drivers per vehicle. We can meet at the 109 National Highway exiting Xining."

"Good!" Zhang Shenghui didn't talk nonsense: "I'll arrange for people to purchase supplies immediately. Time is a bit tight, but contacting a few more manufacturers shouldn't be a problem."

"That's it then."

Zhou Andong put down the phone, and immediately the ringtone rang again. Without guessing, he knew it was highly likely to be Wu Hongkang. Picking it up to listen, it was indeed Old Wu.

"Director Zhou, Happy New Year."

Zhou Andong felt very emotional inside; Old Wu really knew how to conduct himself.

"Are you also planning to donate something to the disaster area?"

"Of course." Wu Hongkang said with a smile: "Having associated with Director Zhou for so long, my awareness of worrying about the country and the people has deepened day by day. Now that the Ali region is hit by a disaster, I must definitely follow Director Zhou's footsteps and contribute my own meager strength."

"Old Wu, your words make me very moved." Zhou Andong said very sincerely: "I've always regarded Old Zhang as a business partner, just an ordinary one.

But I have always regarded you as my big floral padded jacket in winter, the lightbulb in the night, the bean bun when hungry, and the big popsicle in summer."

Wu Hongkang laughed loudly, feeling very refreshed: "After I received Director Gu's call, I immediately held a meeting. After research, we decided to donate two million yuan and one million yuan in supplies to the disaster area."

Zhou Andong said: "We'll set off in the morning. If it goes smoothly, we can reach Beijing around seven or eight in the evening. If the road is not easy to walk, we'll definitely arrive before ten.

But no matter what time we arrive, we'll definitely have breakfast in Beijing. Do you know which restaurant has better taste? We'll meet at the restaurant."

Wu Hongkang pondered for a moment: "To go to Ali, you have to take the 109. You're coming from Jiangzhou and passing through Shijingshan. There is indeed a restaurant there with good taste. I'll greet the restaurant in advance, otherwise, it'll be too late and they'll be off work."

Wu Hongkang said the address, and Zhou Andong took a pen and wrote it down.

"Fine, if there's anything, we'll talk when we meet the day after tomorrow morning." ===== CHAPTER 1603 =====
