Chapter 2125: List (4000 words)

Jiao Liwei said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it."

Hu Dajun smiled slightly. He didn't intend to get Jiao Liwei's answer today either.

However, he believed Jiao Liwei would agree, because this guy believed in fate.

"It's already past eleven." Hu Dajun checked his watch: "Let's go eat together."

Jiao Liwei waved his hand: "I'm not hungry yet; I'll go in a while."

"Fine!" Hu Dajun stood up and walked out: "I'll go myself."

Watching Hu Dajun leave, Jiao Liwei sneered, raised his hand, and stroked a mountain-leaning stone beside the sofa. This was something he bought with a lot of money. It was said to be a high-quality Taishan stone taken from the Jade Emperor Peak of Taishan, and it had also been opened by a master.

"Hu Dajun, oh Hu Dajun, you have a good plan, actually wanting to use me as a gun. Do you really think you are the only smart person in this world?"

Jiao Liwei said mockingly, but he was also pondering in his heart how to solve this matter. He naturally didn't want Zhou Andong to block his path.

After more than ten minutes, he stood up, came behind the office desk, sat on the large and comfortable office chair, reached out, picked up the phone, and dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, the other side connected, and a low and powerful voice came: "What's the matter?"

"Dad!" Jiao Liwei called affectionately: "Just now Hu Dajun came to find me and talked about some things."

"Oh?"

This person was Jiao Liwei's father-in-law, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the General Office, Zhang Qinghe.

Although he was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law engaging in superstition, he was quite approving of his ability.

"About Zhou Andong?"

"Right!" Jiao Liwei explained the matter: "Hu Dajun wants to use me as a gun, but his words also make sense. Zhou Andong serving as the Woolen Textile Mill plant director blocks my path in the future. But if I go out now, it's not easy to go up a step either."

"Your analysis is correct." Zhang Qinghe said thoughtfully: "Hu Dajun stands behind the Yin family. If Zhou Andong cannot control the leadership team and the Woolen Textile Mill becomes chaotic, the Yin family will definitely make a big fuss and let Zhou Andong get out. At that time, Hu Dajun will be transferred back to the Woolen Textile Mill to continue serving as plant director.

However, Zhou Andong serving as the Woolen Textile Mill plant director is a decision from above. You unite to get him out, which is slapping the superior leaders in the face, and the board will definitely fall down.

And you, as the Executive Vice Plant Director, will not only be the first to be hit by the board, but also the heaviest one. At that time, don't talk about going further; it would be good if you could work until retirement in the position of Executive Vice Plant Director."

"Then what should I do?" Jiao Liwei frowned: "Do I really have to avoid the sharp edge and squat in the plant waiting for him to make way or be transferred?"

"I have also been thinking about your problem these past few days." Zhang Qinghe pondered for a moment: "I'll make an appointment with Director Tong of the Ethnic Affairs Committee for dinner tonight, and you come along."

"Good!"

Jiao Liwei's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he agreed readily. When he put down the phone, he felt that the gloomy sky above his head finally cleared up.

Hu Dajun stands behind the Yin family, and his father-in-law stands behind the Tong family. He was indeed able to serve as the Executive Vice Plant Director of the Woolen Textile Mill because his father-in-law exerted effort, but without the Tong family speaking, he wouldn't have had any possibility of sitting in this position.

Because the Woolen Textile Mill is the Yin family's backyard, among the eleven members of the Party Committee, seven are Yin family people, three are Tong family people, and he has to be counted among these three.

As for the last one, named Dai Minsheng, he was able to enter the Woolen Textile Mill, serve as Vice Plant Director, and enter the Party Group team because the previous Vice Plant Director had problems and was taken away for investigation.

At that time, the Mayor was very dissatisfied with the Yin family engaging in mountain-topism in the Woolen Textile Mill, and also caused problems, so he inserted Office Deputy Director Dai Minsheng into the Woolen Textile Mill.

He wanted to stir up the water in the Woolen Textile Mill and find a chance to cut off the Yin family's hands, so that the Woolen Textile Mill would become his pocket. But as soon as Dai Weimin entered the Woolen Textile Mill, he became a mascot.

As Vice Plant Director and a member of the Party Committee, his orders couldn't even leave the office. The leaders of the departments he was in charge of didn't bird him at all, and they went directly to the Secretary or Plant Director to report work. Dai Weimin got angry several times.

Then, after the Secretary finished the Party Committee meeting, the Plant Director opened another one, criticizing the leaders who engaged in one-man-rule and couldn't unite comrades, then carried out a division of labor adjustment. In the end, the work he was in charge of was adjusted away, and Dai Weimin became a bare-pole commander.

At that time, the Mayor was very disappointed with Dai Weimin, and just when he was preparing to open fire on the Woolen Textile Mill again, he was suddenly taken away for investigation. Dai Weimin naturally couldn't stay out of it.

But what was surprising was that many people were implicated and fell, but Dai Weimin landed safely. However, his future was also gone, and he could only be a mascot in the Woolen Textile Mill, waiting for his age to arrive, changing to another place to stay for two years, and then retiring.

And in the Woolen Textile Mill, not only plant leaders, but even plant workers didn't have the thinking of this Vice Plant Director Dai Weimin. Perhaps they would only think of him if they bumped into him and looked carefully: "Oh, this is our plant's Vice Plant Director."

At this time, Zhou Andong had already arrived at Courtyard No. 6, supported Jian Qiu as she got out of the car, and then saw Zhao Qun who was on duty.

"Hey, Old Zhao, you're on duty today. Just right, I'll treat you to a drink."

Zhao Qun's mouth twitched fiercely, and then he said with a fake smile: "There's still an hour before the shift change. I'll wait for you at the gate."

"Ah?" Zhou Andong blinked: "You still have an hour before the shift change? That won't do. I'm here to see the Old Master, and I have important things to do. I don't know when I'll leave."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhao Qun said with a firm tone: "You've invited me so many times. If I don't agree again, it's really not right.

Chairman Zhou, you go find the Chief to report things. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you. It doesn't matter. Today, no matter what, I have to drink with Chairman Zhou."

"Does it really not delay your work?" Zhou Andong blinked: "I think there are plenty of chances to drink. It wouldn't be good if it delays work."

Zhao Qun guaranteed: "Rest assured, it definitely won't delay work."

Zhou Andong rubbed his nose, turned his head to Wang Wentian: "Wentian, is there wine in the trunk?"

"Yes!"

Wang Wentian had been watching the excitement for a long time. Hearing the Chairman ask if there was wine in the trunk, he knew what was going to happen. He walked to the back of the car, wanting to laugh but not daring to, opened the trunk, and moved out a case of special-supply Yugong wine.

Because these wines were placed in the trunk for emergencies, there were only special-supply types.

Wang Wentian held the case of wine and came over, placing it beside the guard post.

Zhou Andong said with great regret: "I really want to drink a few cups with you, but there are too many things to do this afternoon, so I can only find another chance later. So, you guys take this wine back and drink it yourselves."

Seeing the wine, Zhao Qun's eyes lit up. He said to the guard on duty in the post: "Go, move the wine back, put it with the instructor, and say Boss Zhou came and invited us to drink. Also, have him pool some money and go outside to get a few dishes. We'll drink well tonight."

This guy wasn't polite at all, had people move the wine away, and then saluted Zhou Andong.

"Thank you, Boss Zhou!"

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched: "We're all brothers; isn't it very normal to invite you guys to drink? Why be polite?"

Zhou Andong supported Jian Qiu as they entered the courtyard. When they were almost at the door, Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Serves you right, letting your mouth be sloppy. Every time you come, you tease him. I didn't expect you to get yourself into it this time, losing a case of wine."

"I really didn't expect this kid to become smart." Zhou Andong also laughed: "However, I really don't have time today, otherwise I'd really like to drink well with him."

The door opened. Gu Minglan was very disappointed to see the two standing at the door: "Didn't bring the child?"

Jian Qiu said helplessly: "She went to nursery school."

"What does it matter if she goes to nursery school or not?" Gu Minglan snorted, turned around, and sat on the sofa: "You know I'm bored at home; couldn't you have brought the child over?"

"Mom!" Zhou Andong ran over and diligently massaged the Old Buddha's shoulders: "I know you're bored at home. In another twenty days, your grandson will be born. At that time, you can play however you want, but now you have to rest well and recharge your energy."

Gu Minglan raised her hand and hit Zhou Andong, saying unhappily: "Nonsense, is having a child for you to play with?"

Zhou Andong chuckled: "Mom, how is my technique? Is it comfortable?"

Gu Minglan nodded: "It's indeed not bad. I feel very relaxed all over."

"I'm much more professional than those so-called massage masters." Zhou Andong blinked at Jian Qiu, who rolled her eyes at him.

"By the way!" Gu Minglan asked: "You just said grandson, did you check? Is it a boy?"

"No!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "I just said it casually. Actually, I still like girls."

"Nonsense!" Gu Minglan said: "Your dad and I only had Qiuqiu, that's because we didn't have any inheritance, but you are different. With such a big family business, how can it work without a son to inherit it?"

"Regardless of whether it's a girl or a boy." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Just have a few more when the time comes."

Jian Qiu snorted: "Do you think I'm a pig?"

Gu Minglan glared at her daughter, then said in a gentle tone: "It's good to have a few more. Only when there are many children will the family be prosperous. And you don't go into officialdom, so when the time comes, pay the fines that should be paid. It's not like you can't afford it."

"That's exactly what I think." Zhou Andong chuckled again, provocatively looking at his wife, and received another eye-roll.

"Alright!" Gu Minglan patted Zhou Andong's hand: "Your grandpa is still waiting. Go in quickly."

Zhou Andong nodded and walked toward the Old Master's study, then knocked on the door.

"Come in!" The Old Master shouted.

Zhou Andong pushed the door and walked in. The Old Master was looking at documents and said without even raising his head: "You sit first, wait for me to finish processing this document."

"Good!"

Zhou Andong walked over, picked up half a pack of cigarettes on the desk, lit one, and then casually put the cigarettes into his pocket.

Then this guy wandered around the study, finally standing in front of the bookshelf, casually picking up a book and flipping through it.

Just at this time, he saw a space beside it, with several cans of tea leaves placed there, the packaging looking very exquisite.

There were Longjing, Maojian, and Dahongpao, two cans of each, exactly six cans, one of each had been opened.

Zhou Andong scratched his head, endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it. His eyes glanced at the Old Master from time to time, and his hands carefully picked up the three unopened cans of tea leaves.

Then this guy held them in his arms, walked lightly to the door, slowly opened the door a crack, and slipped out sideways.

The Old Master didn't raise his head, but his peripheral vision saw Zhou Andong's entire crime process. His eyelids kept jumping, and the expression on his face was indescribably painful.

The old man was truly helpless. Is this finding a granddaughter-in-law or finding a bandit? Before, he only swiped cigarettes when he came over; now he even swipes tea leaves into his pocket. In the future, things must be hidden tightly, otherwise all these things will be moved away by him.

Outside, the mother and daughter sitting in the living room were very strange to see Zhou Andong sneaking out of the study, until they noticed the tea leaves in his arms and realized what happened.

"..."

Jian Qiu was speechless: "It seems you've discovered a new continent again."

"Hehe..."

Zhou Andong grinned, picked up Jian Qiu's small bag, opened it, and could only put down two cans.

"Where to put this one?"

Jian Qiu took it over and put it on the coffee table together with the bag: "Just put it here."

Gu Minglan looked at the unscrupulous couple and shook her head helplessly. She knew this tea; the Old Master treasured it very much. Whether it was his son or grandson, no one could touch it, but today it was ended by his granddaughter-in-law's husband.

"Dongzi, if you like drinking tea, your dad has a few boxes of good tea there, but he took them all away. When I go to Guangdong, I'll mail them back to you."

"No need, no need!" Zhou Andong shook his head violently in refusal: "Keep them for my dad to drink himself."

"He can drink anything." Gu Minglan's tone was very firm: "When he went to the countryside back then, didn't he drink tea dust just the same?"

"That!" Zhou Andong hesitated: "Then I'll listen to Mom."

"Slap!" Jian Qiu hit Zhou Andong: "Do you still want any face?"

Zhou Andong said aggrievedly: "Mom said she'd give it to me, it's not like I asked for it."

"Alright!"

Seeing her daughter still wanting to say something, Gu Minglan snatched the conversation.

"It's a waste for your dad to drink such good tea leaves. Give it to Dongzi to drink."

"Mom, you're too good." Zhou Andong was so happy: "Having a mother-in-law who loves her son-in-law is good. Grandpa is processing documents, it should be about time. I'll go in and take a look."

"Go!" Gu Minglan waved her hand.

Zhou Andong entered the study again. Just as the Old Master closed the document and reached out to take the cigarettes on the desk, he realized they were gone after grabbing empty air, remembering that the cigarettes had been taken away by the brat in front of him.

"Give me a cigarette!"

"Aren't there some in your drawer?"

Zhou Andong took out the cigarettes unwillingly, handed one to the Old Master, and then used a lighter to light it for the Old Master.

"Grandpa, your health is not good. The doctor has said many times to let you smoke less."

"I'm already at this age, what can smoking more or less do?"

The Old Master stood up and moved his tired body.

"When it's time to see Marx, you have to see him. Even if you don't want to see him, you can't."

After speaking, the Old Master opened the drawer, took out a folder, and placed it on the desk.

"You take a look, this should be useful to you."

Zhou Andong picked it up with confusion. After opening it, it was actually the leadership list of the Woolen Textile Mill, with personal resumes and evaluations behind each name. ===== CHAPTER 2126 =====
