Chapter 214: Still Too Weak
Zhou Andong gave a bitter smile: "Leader, you tell me this news, should I be happy or unhappy?"
Cheng Zhanjun laughed heartily: "That depends on your own mood. If you're happy, laugh; if you're unhappy, cry."
Zhou Andong felt a sigh in his heart. He thought that with Zhao Jianlong arrested, Jiang Yuhai wouldn't be transferred to a "clear water yamen" (a low-power, low-corruption government office) like in his previous life, but he didn't expect he still couldn't escape being crushed by the wheels of history.
However, he knew that Jiang Yuhai definitely didn't have any financial dealings with Zhao Jianlong. The biggest possibility for him being arrested was that he had provided convenience to Zhao Jianlong in violation of regulations in certain aspects.
Therefore, Jiang Yuhai's problem wouldn't be too big. Plus, with a father like Jiang Zhengmin, he would eventually be transferred to a "clear water yamen." Although it happened six or seven years earlier, Jiang Zhengmin had truly escaped a disaster. Once he was transferred to the head office, Jiang Yuhai's comeback would only be a matter of time.
"Did anyone from the Tong family come?" Zhou Andong asked.
Seeing Jian Qiu was sitting on the sofa flipping through yesterday's newspaper. Hearing Zhou Andong's words, her ears immediately pricked up.
Cheng Zhanjun said: "They came. Seeing Tong Huaiyu will be out tomorrow."
"Damn it!" Zhou Andong muttered a curse, "That trash Seeing Tong Huaiyu should be dragged out and shot, then thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
"I think so too, but some things, even if you know they are right, you can't do. Because once you do, it won't bring any benefits, but rather disaster."
Cheng Zhanjun's tone was also a bit helpless, "Alright, I still have a lot of things to handle here, let's stop here." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Andong gave a cold sneer and slowly put down the phone, "In the end, it's still that I, Zhou Andong, am too weak."
Seeing Jian Qiu got up, walked behind Zhou Andong, and wrapped her arms around his neck: "I believe that sooner or later, there will be a day when you grow to a point where the entire Tong family won't dare to look down on you."
Zhou Andong smiled and patted Seeing Jian Qiu's hand: "This time, a total of 137 people were arrested, including Lin Zhimin."
Seeing Jian Qiu was stunned: "Lin Zhimin?"
Zhou Andong nodded: "It is said that they are already preparing to report it to the provincial level."
【Empty line】
Seeing Jian Qiu shook her head slightly: "Lin Zhimin, that really surprises me."
"Lin Zhimin's reputation has always been good!" Zhou Andong said mockingly: "Turns out he was also a hypocritical piece of trash."
"Pop, pop, pop..."
The office door was knocked. Seeing Jian Qiu let go of Zhou Andong's arm and stood straight: "Come in!"
Yao Jun pushed the door and walked in: "Brother Dong, everyone is here." Then he greeted Seeing Jian Qiu: "Sister-in-law!"
"Let's go!" Zhou Andong got up, "Go to the meeting!"
After leaving the office, Zhou Andong called out to Yao Jun, who was about to leave: "Da Jun!"
Yao Jun stopped. Zhou Andong whispered two sentences in his ear. Yao Jun nodded and left quickly.
Seeing Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong with a smile: "What's the matter, whispering, and even hiding it from me."
Zhou Andong said: "Seeing Tong Huaiyu will be out tomorrow. I asked Da Jun to buy some gifts to send over."
Seeing Jian Qiu was full of confusion: "You want to buy gifts to send to Seeing Tong Huaiyu?"
Zhou Andong nodded very seriously: "You don't know, we have already turned hostility into friendship. Yesterday I went to visit him, and it made him so happy that his whole body was trembling, as if he had a cerebral thrombosis. When I left, his eyes were teary, so reluctant to let me go."
"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed, "We don't get to know each other without a fight, and Jiangzhou is my territory. You say, he's coming out, if I, the host, don't send some gifts to him, can my heart feel at ease?"
Seeing Jian Qiu curled her lips: "I'd be a fool to believe your nonsense."
"Believe it or not." Zhou Andong shrugged and walked toward the conference room.
At the Huwang Town Winery, Zhang Deyou's mood hadn't been very good these past few days. Originally, their Jiangzhou Erguotou's strategy of sinking into the rural market was quite successful, and sales were rising steadily. They were just preparing to expand production when Jiang Xiaobai was launched.
At first, they didn't care. After all, Jiang Xiaobai was a 100ml small bottle. It wasn't that there weren't such small bottles of white liquor on the market, and the price was mostly between one yuan and one yuan. But Jiang Xiaobai was three yuan and eight cents, which wasn't cheap, so they thought Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't pose a threat to Jiangzhou Erguotou.
But the final result was that before Jiang Xiaobai had even signed a provincial agent, just by being launched in Jiangzhou, it had brought no small impact to Jiangzhou Erguotou in less than a month.
Sales had fallen by 26%, which meant they were about to lose their position in Jiangzhou. Once Jiang Xiaobai spread throughout the province, the market they had finally opened in other cities would also be squeezed out.
Zhang Deyou walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of resentment, "Zhou Andong, you really are like a ghost that won't go away."
"Bang!"
The office door was suddenly kicked open by someone. Zhang Xingfei walked in with his elegant long hair, swaying: "Old man, what are you doing?"
Zhang Deyou said with a livid face: "Get out, knock before coming in."
Zhang Xingfei curled his lips as if he hadn't heard, sat on the desk, picked up the cigarette placed on it, and lit it: "I'm in a bad mood, why are you venting your anger on me? If you have the ability, go and deal with Zhou Andong."
Zhang Deyou was trembling all over with anger: "Get out, don't sway in front of me, I get angry when I see you."
Zhang Xingfei held the cigarette in his mouth, looked at Zhang Deyou with slanted eyes, and then reached out: "Give me money, and I'll go. How long I can disappear in front of you depends on how much money you give me."
Zhang Deyou suppressed his anger: "Didn't I just give you two thousand two days ago?"
"Two thousand?" Zhang Xingfei said disdainfully: "You have the nerve to say that. Now prices are rising every day, even finding a prostitute has damn well increased in price. What can I do with two thousand yuan? And I have so many brothers, don't they need money to eat and drink?"
Zhang Deyou felt a stuffiness in his chest, holding a breath he couldn't exhale, then opened his mouth and breathed desperately, only calming down after a long while.
"I have no money, get out of here quickly."
Zhang Xingfei shouted: "Old thing, don't forget, this winery is my mother's, which means it's mine. The money earned is also mine, why don't you give it to me?"
"Little bastard!" Zhang Deyou grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and smashed it at Zhang Xingfei.
Zhang Xingfei tilted his head to dodge, and then saw Zhang Deyou pick up a stool and was about to smash it at him. Scared, he shouted "Mom!" and ran away.
"Old thing, you wait for me, I'll go find my mom and let her dismiss you as factory director."
Zhang Deyou felt a wave of dizziness in his head, his body swayed, and he sat on the stool. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Zhou Andong had said a while ago.
This little bastard, his personality isn't like me at all, and even less like his two sisters. Could he really not be my seed? Once this thought arose, it took root and sprouted in his heart, and it was growing rapidly. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
