Chapter 2129: Gift

~8 min read 1,424 words

"Is that so?" Zhou Andong was very surprised, not expecting it to be such a coincidence: "Indeed, I am going to the Woolen Textile Mill, probably on August 2nd or 3rd."

"Really?" Hu Lan's eyes were very bright, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden: "This is too good. Let's see who dares to bully me in the future."

"Right!" Zhou Andong nodded: "I have always helped relatives, not reason. Whoever dares to bare their teeth at you, you tell me."

These words made everyone laugh. They all thought it was a joke, including Hu Lan.

But what Zhou Andong said was sincere. Regardless, Cao Jingsong was also the Chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a proper department-level official. If someone really bullied Hu Lan, it definitely wouldn't be an ordinary worker.

He really hoped that someone who didn't have long eyes would go to find trouble with Hu Lan. At that time, he could use this as an incision to perform surgery on Jin Shiguang first.

Lian Kai carried the wine in, and Xiaobei, who followed behind, held a few bottles of drinks in his hand. Immediately after, the waiter started serving dishes.

"Come come come!"

Zhou Andong opened a bottle of wine, poured it for Cao Jingsong and Old Zhou first, and then was about to pour it for Cao Mo, but was immediately stopped by him.

"Andong, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

"Why be polite with me?" Zhou Andong held down Cao Mo's hand, filled the wine glass, and then looked at Xiaobei: "Are you drinking?"

"I'll drink a little." Xiaobei pushed his wine glass forward.

Zhou Andong finished pouring for Xiaobei, and finally poured for himself: "Uncle Cao, say a few words."

"Say what?" Cao Jingsong said with a smile: "Family, don't do those empty things. Come, drink."

"Right!" Old Zhou said: "It's all in the wine, bottoms up."

Several women also raised their drinks and clinked them together. After the wine went down, the atmosphere came up.

This meal lasted for over two hours, and a total of four bottles of wine were drunk. Watching Old Zhou and Old Cao becoming more energetic as they drank, Zhou Andong didn't dare to let them drink anymore. After all, their age was there.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette, distributed a circle, and then lit one himself, looking at Hu Lan.

"Sister-in-law, how is your plant director Hong Jinyan as a person?"

"Not very good!" Hu Lan put down the chopsticks in her hand: "Our plant director is very domineering. It can be said that the fashion factory is decided by Hong Jinyan alone, and she can't listen to anyone's suggestions.

Since she served as plant director, she has appointed people by favoritism, replacing the section chiefs of the design section, sales section, and procurement section, and transferring them to other departments.

Since then, the woolen clothing designed has become uglier and uglier, and sales have become worse and worse. Every quarter, a batch of clothing is processed centrally, and the prices are all half-price or two-fold or three-fold."

Zhou Andong puffed on his cigarette, thinking thoughtfully: "What is the relationship between the people in charge of the design section, sales section, and procurement section she replaced and her?"

"The design section chief is her cousin, originally the production section chief. He knows nothing about design, but was transferred to the design section. At that time, many people in the plant had complaints, but Hong Jinyan didn't care at all."

Speaking of this, Hu Lan paused: "As for the sales section chief, he was originally the safety section chief. It is said that Hong Jinyan had an affair with him. As for whether it's true or false, I don't know.

The procurement section chief entered the plant with Hong Jinyan when she served as plant director. As for what relationship, I don't know. Usually, it looks very normal, and I haven't heard any rumors."

Zhou Andong nodded: "What about Vice Plant Director Kong Weimin?"

"Assistant Kong." Hu Lan organized her language: "Very young, graduated from a prestigious school, and when Hong Jinyan replaced the design section chief, he explicitly opposed it. Hong Jinyan even scolded him.

It is said that Hong Jinyan wanted to remove Kong Weimin as assistant many times, but the general plant leaders never agreed. Because Kong Weimin graduated from a prestigious school and was invited by a big leader above three times to invite him.

If Kong Weimin was removed, not only would the impact on the plant be bad, but that big leader would definitely be dissatisfied, and everyone would be scolded."

Zhou Andong puffed on his cigarette. The problem with this Hong Jinyan was not small, including the three section chiefs she replaced, which definitely wasn't as simple as appointing people by favoritism.

This meal lasted for over two hours. Through Hu Lan, he had also touched on some situations about Jin Shiguang.

Xiaobei finished paying the bill, and the group walked out of the restaurant. Zhou Andong asked Wang Wentian and the others to take out the things in the trunk.

"Uncle Cao, Aunt, take these cigarettes and wine back."

Looking at the cigarettes, wine, tea, and health products placed on the ground, Cao Jingsong and Deng Yuzhi didn't know what to say.

"Andong!" Cao Jingsong said helplessly: "What are you taking these things for?"

"The wine is brewed by our own family, and the cigarettes, tea, and health products were all sent by others." Zhou Andong

"You!"

Cao Jingsong didn't say anything more and let Cao Mo move the things onto his car. Because he knew that no matter what he said, Zhou Andong would never take the things back.

Before getting into the car, Zhou Andong asked Hu Lan: "Sister-in-law, do you hold a leadership position in the factory?"

Hu Lan smiled and said: "I am the deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section. I'm just a runner; it doesn't count as being a leader."

"Alright, I understand." Zhou Andong helped Jian Qiu into the car: "Uncle Cao, Auntie, after I finish being busy for this period, let's gather again."

Cao Yi said to Deng Yuzhi: "Mom, Xiaobei and I are going to stay over there, and we will return to Jiangzhou with my big brother tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Deng Yuzhi agreed, watching her daughter, son-in-law, and Zhou Andong get into the car, and only looked at her son after they disappeared from sight.

"Your father and I are going straight home; you guys take a taxi back."

"I'm going home. With so many things in the car, are you and Dad going to move them upstairs?"

Cao Mo opened the car door and got in, not forgetting to call out to his wife.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car."

Cao Jingsong glanced at his son. It was obvious that this kid had an ulterior motive; helping him move things upstairs was fake, moving them to his own home was the real goal.

Cao Jingsong didn't bring a driver, so he drove himself. By the time they got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

Cao Mo left behind two cases of liquor, two cartons of cigarettes, and two boxes of tea. As for the health supplements, Deng Yuzhi told him to take them all to his mother-in-law, and everything else was moved upstairs.

"Whew!"

Cao Mo put the two cases of liquor on the floor, and then saw his old mother place two wooden boxes, whose packaging wasn't particularly exquisite, on the coffee table. He walked over quickly.

"Dad, hurry up and open them to see what's inside!"

"Since Andong sent them, they must be good things." Hu Lan said this, but she was also very curious about what was inside.

"Open them and see!"

Cao Jingsong and Deng Yuzhi were also very curious. They watched Cao Mo open the larger box, which contained a tea set.

At first, they didn't think too much about it, but when they picked up the note on top and saw the description, the whole family felt their bodies lose control, unable to move, and their mouths went dry.

After a good while, Cao Mo opened the other box, which contained a jade cabbage; under the light, it was crystal clear.

"Gulp!"

Cao Mo swallowed his saliva. He knew that the things Zhou Andong sent would definitely not be simple, but he didn't expect them to be this extraordinary.
