Chapter 213

Zhou Andong returned to the winery. Except for those on duty, everyone had already finished work. He went to Jian Qiu's office, but there was no one there; he didn't know where she had gone.

Then he came back and pushed open the door of Gu Bing's office, only to see this guy had gotten a set of tea sets from somewhere and was leisurely drinking tea.

Zhou Andong walked in with a smile: "You didn't leave after work, but are hiding in the office drinking tea alone. What good news is there?"

Gu Bing picked up the tea cup and handed it to Zhou Andong: "Come, taste how this tea is."

Zhou Andong took it and drank it in one gulp, then smacked his lips: "What kind of junk is this? It doesn't taste good at all. It's not even as good as the tea dregs in my office that cost a few cents."

Gu Bing looked at Zhou Andong with contempt: "You are just a blockhead. Letting you drink such good tea is like a cow chewing on a peony."

Zhou Andong curled his lips: "Tell me, what good news is there? Let me hear it too."

Gu Bing didn't answer, but asked: "Where did you run off to today? I couldn't find you for a whole day, and Jian Qiu wasn't there either. I wanted to share this good news with you both, but couldn't find anyone."

Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette on the desk and lit it: "If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to, I'm leaving."

"Don't!" Gu Bing picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cup: "Jiang Xiaobai signed its first agent. As of yesterday, in one month, the sales revenue in Henan Province alone reached six million. That's sales revenue, not sales volume."

Zhou Andong calculated: "Nearly four hundred tons of sales volume. I think there must be cross-regional sales by distributors in neighboring provinces, otherwise, in one month, Henan Province alone couldn't have digested four hundred tons."

"Who cares!" Gu Bing said: "As long as it's sold."

"You don't know anything!" Zhou Andong said angrily: "When there is only stock in Henan Province, this kind of cross-regional sales isn't a big problem. But now that Jiang Xiaobai has finished stocking, and each province has started selling, if there is still this kind of cross-regional sales behavior between regions, the harm will be great."

In this era of barbaric development, the phenomenon of cross-regional sales is very serious, and enterprises are also cracking down on it, but the effect is minimal. Zhou Andong must formulate a severe punishment measure to avoid this kind of thing from happening.

Zhou Andong grabbed the phone on the desk and quickly dialed a string of numbers: "Uncle Qian, I am Zhou Andong. Come back to the main factory at ten o'clock tomorrow morning for a meeting."

Qian Zhen's voice came from the receiver: "What happened?"

Zhou Andong said: "Regarding the issue of cross-regional sales."

Qian Zhen was startled: "The cross-regional sales problem appeared just after each province finished stocking?"

Zhou Andong smiled: "No, I suddenly thought of this problem, so I called everyone to have a meeting to study it and formulate a severe punishment measure."

"Okay!" Qian Zhen said: "It just so happens I have some things to handle back there."

Zhou Andong said: "By the way, notify the other branch factory directors."

Seeing Zhou Andong put down the phone, Gu Bing asked: "Is it really that serious?"

Zhou Andong didn't pay attention to him and walked out. There was no good way to deal with this matter, nothing more than supplementing the contract to prohibit cross-regional sales in various places. Another thing was heavy penalties, even up to canceling the agency rights.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Zhou Andong about to leave, Gu Bing asked hurriedly.

Zhou Andong said: "Tired for a day, going back to sleep."

Gu Bing asked: "Have you eaten?"

Zhou Andong didn't look back and said: "What time is it and you haven't eaten?"

Gu Bing snorted coldly: "Going to sleep so early, you definitely didn't do anything good during the day."

Having strolled for a whole day, Zhou Andong felt sticky all over. After getting home, he took a shower, watched TV for a while, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep.

He didn't know what time it was, but in his daze, Zhou Andong felt a smooth, tender body exuding a familiar scent crawl into the quilt and then hug him from behind.

Zhou Andong turned over, hugged that tender body, and said in a daze: "Why did you just come back?"

Jian Qiu kissed Zhou Andong on the lips, her tone still full of excitement: "Husband, the song 'Blue and White Porcelain' is too great, especially the lyrics. I like it too much."

Zhou Andong opened his eyes wide: "What did you call me just now?"

Jian Qiu smiled: "Husband!"

Zhou Andong dug his ears: "Is it an illusion?"

"Husband... husband, husband, husband..." Jian Qiu leaned into Zhou Andong's ear and called out one after another, her breath like an orchid, making Zhou Andong's ears itch, and he reached out to hug Jian Qiu...

After a storm, Zhou Andong lit an after-sex cigarette. A layer of fine sweat beads hung on Jian Qiu's smooth skin, and she lay lazily in Zhou Andong's arms, drawing small circles on his chest.

Zhou Andong glanced at the fairy in his arms and said weakly: "Is it because you're happy that you're calling me husband so actively?"

"Yeah!" Jian Qiu smiled charmingly, "You didn't see it. When I showed 'Blue and White Porcelain' to An Jing, that little woman suddenly became dazed and even said she wanted to compete with me and snatch you away."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes, and Jian Qiu said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of expression is that?"

"Nothing!" Zhou Andong said reflexively, then got up and got out of bed, "I'm going to take a shower."

Jian Qiu raised her snow-white arms: "Hold me, I want to take a shower too."

Zhou Andong helplessly picked up Jian Qiu, left the bedroom, and entered the bathroom.

The next morning, an explosive piece of news detonated the ancient city of Jiangzhou. It could be said to be earth-shaking, like a strong earthquake, shocking everyone into speechlessness.

One hundred and thirty-seven people in Jiangzhou were taken away for investigation, and the biggest rat among them was Lin Zhimin. It is said that when this guy was caught, he was still acting tough, but when he saw the big leader of the investigation team, he was so scared he almost wet his pants.

Zhou Andong heard the news a bit late because it was almost nine o'clock when he got up. Just as he arrived at the office, he received a call from Cheng Zhanjun.

"It's over, one hundred and thirty-seven people, including Lin Zhimin."

Zhou Andong was silent for a while: "What a shocking number this is."

"Yeah!" Cheng Zhanjun sighed, "I didn't expect it to be rotten to this extent. If you hadn't sent Zhao Jianlong to prison, such a big mine wouldn't have exploded. It's really hard to say what Jiangzhou would have developed into in the future."

Zhou Andong sneered. The development of Jiangzhou was definitely a miracle. Occupying the transportation hub connecting the two major regions of North China and Northeast China, it lacked neither sea, land, nor air. After decades of development, it had been forcibly developed from a former heavy industry city into a fourth-tier small city.

Cheng Zhanjun continued: "There is one more thing. I thought about it and felt I should still tell you."

Zhou Andong was startled and frowned: "What is it?"

Cheng Zhanjun said: "Jiang Yuhai was also taken away."
