Chapter 2133

Zhou Andong smoked silently, then looked up at the window. It was foggy and overcast, and rain could fall at any time.

"Are there still instant noodles, ham sausages, and mineral water prepared for the music festival?"

"There are quite a few." Wu Huilin looked fortunate: "Fortunately, you asked to prepare more at the beginning, and we can distribute them as benefits to employees if they can't be sold. Otherwise, if a flood really happened, we wouldn't be able to do anything.

Mainly, when other places suffered from floods, besides donating money, food and drink were sent to the disaster area truck after truck. When our own hometown suffers from a disaster, and there is no food or drink, it's really unjustifiable."

Zhou Andong sat there, thinking with a deep frown, and the scenes and memories of his previous life constantly appeared in his mind.

He wasn't too worried about the Jiangzhou River. In his previous life, because of Zhao Jianlong, his former brother-in-law dug sand downstream of the Jiangzhou River, causing the riverbed to sink seriously, the river water to erode the banks, and the height of the embankment to be forced to increase, making the bank slope steep. Once a flood was encountered, the embankment would collapse and breach.

The situation is different in this life. Zhao Jianlong had already eaten a bullet twenty years early, and his former brother-in-law opened a restaurant.

Therefore, there shouldn't be a big problem with the Jiangzhou River. The only thing that needs attention is that the water accumulation in the city is relatively serious, especially to ensure the safety of several railway culverts leading to Tiebei, and to prevent people from taking risks to cross.

These culverts accumulate water during heavy rain. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to cause accidents. For many years, whenever it rains, some citizens try to pass through these culverts regardless of the danger, resulting in many unfortunate incidents.

So, the only thing that needs attention is the Lingchuan River.

Thinking of this, Zhou Andong looked up: "Hold a general cadre meeting tomorrow. We must also make emergency preparations. It's better if no flood occurs, but if it does, making preparations in advance can minimize losses."

Wu Huilin said: "I will notify them in a while."

The two were discussing the flood control plan when Gu Bing arrived. Seeing Zhou Andong, his eyes widened.

"You still dare to come back, huh?"

"I say, Chairman Gu, do you know what you are saying?" Zhou Andong laughed: "There are many places I dare not go, but I am the Chairman of the Yugong Group. If I don't even dare to return to my own home, what kind of heaven-defying and people-resenting things must I have done?"

Gu Bing hummed: "You asked me to hand over the management rights of the brewery; isn't that a heaven-defying and people-resenting thing?"

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Zhou Andong said righteously: "Did I remove you from your post?"

"Huh?" Gu Bing was stunned: "That's true, no."

Zhou Andong said earnestly: "I asked you to hand over the management rights of the brewery because there is a more important position waiting for you."

"A more important position?" Gu Bing's eyes lit up: "What position?"

"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with the Beijing Woolen Mill, right?" Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette: "Now the losses are extremely serious, and it's on the verge of bankruptcy.

But because the Woolen Mill has special significance to the country, and more importantly, the four thousand employees of the Woolen Mill, that's four thousand families. Once the factory goes bankrupt, where will these four thousand families go?

Therefore, the Beijing Municipal Government has always wanted to reform the Woolen Mill, but hasn't found anyone capable of doing this job, so they found me and asked me to serve as the Deputy Secretary and Factory Director of the Woolen Mill."

Gu Bing asked hesitantly: "Let me go and serve as the Secretary?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong laughed, with an expression of asking for credit: "But I recommended it. After all, we cooperate so tacitly; I can't trust others to serve as Secretary."

Gu Bing smacked his lips and pondered: "If someone else recommended me to serve as Secretary, I would be very happy, but since you recommended it, I have to reserve my opinion."

"Damn!" Zhou Andong said very dissatisfied: "Are you doubting my character?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Bing said very disdainfully: "If you had character, everyone in the world would be a gentleman."

"..."

Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing: "If you don't want to go, I definitely won't force you."

Originally, Gu Bing was very suspicious that Zhou Andong was pitting him, but hearing this, he hesitated again.

"Really, it's okay if I don't want to go?"

"Of course!" Zhou Andong waved his hand indifferently: "Such a good thing, if you don't want to go, there must be someone willing. You know, the Woolen Mill is a bureau-level enterprise, and there are plenty of people who want to go in and be the Secretary."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong shook his head with regret: "Originally, I thought that if you went over to serve as Secretary, we would cooperate very tacitly.

Besides, your level has been raised all of a sudden, and your family, as well as those elders in the courtyard, will have to look at you with high regard.

A bureau-level leader in his thirties, even in their generation, is not too many; it is definitely young and promising. And those buddies of yours, who would dare to show off in front of you?"

Zhou Andong said this, and Gu Bing's heart suddenly became active. He straightened his chest, and his head was raised.

"If you say so, I can consider it."

"Don't consider it." Zhou Andong said firmly: "Don't go either. I'd better find someone else."

"Don't!"

Gu Bing was suddenly anxious, sat down beside Zhou Andong, and hugged his shoulder.

"What kind of friendship do we have? We are comrades-in-arms who fought side by side and suffered together. If you find someone else, can the cooperation be as tacit as ours? What if things go wrong? Will you regret it?"

Zhou Andong took away the arm Gu Bing used to hug his shoulder: "Forget it, my character is not good; what if I pit you?"

"Look at you." Gu Bing laughed: "I was joking. Who in the whole country doesn't know that your Zhou Andong's character is top-notch? Whoever says your Old Zhou's character is not good, I will fight him to the death."

The expression on Zhou Andong's face was very tangled: "Do you really want to go?"

"I don't want to go." Gu Bing said seriously: "But since you are going, I must go, because I cannot let you fight alone; I must accompany you."

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed: "Alright, as long as you are not forced."

"It's a deal." Gu Bing patted Zhou Andong's shoulder excitedly: "Our brothers join forces, invincible in the world. Even if the Woolen Mill is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we can kill them until not a single piece of armor remains."

Wu Huilin held her forehead and sighed helplessly. The man she found was really simple and was firmly manipulated by Zhou Andong, this cunning fox.

But she didn't say anything, because she heard from Zhou Andong's words that the weight of the Woolen Mill Secretary was very heavy and very important to Gu Bing. Even if Gu Bing didn't want to go, she would persuade him.
