Chapter 2173

Gu Bing looked at the crowd with tears in his eyes, and then his gaze fell on Zhou Andong, hating him so much that he gritted his teeth, but he still had to wear a smile on his face.

"I just feel that with the Chairman accompanying the leaders, I won't go forward and add to the chaos."

Zhou Andong, who was sitting beside Cheng Zhanjun, moved two seats to the side and said with a smile: "Chairman Gu, the Old Secretary is from Beijing, and you are also from Beijing. It just so happens that you can accompany the Old Secretary for a few more drinks."

Cheng Zhanjun looked at Zhou Andong with a half-smile. How could he not guess what kind of bad idea Zhou Andong was playing?

This kid is getting worse and worse, and the bad water in his stomach is bubbling out. Especially his heart, even a mouse would get lost if it ran in.

"Chairman Gu!" Deng Zhangli said with a smile: "It's one thing for you to hide yourself, but it's a bit inappropriate to pull Wu Zong along."

Cheng Zhanjun nodded along: "Chairman Gu, Wu Zong, it's not easy for me to come down once. You can't hide. You must drink more tonight."

Zhou Andong chuckled. This was not a private occasion, and Cheng Zhanjun couldn't scold Gu Bing as soon as he caught him, but being able to make Gu Bing suffer and feel uneasy in his heart made him feel inexplicably good.

Gu Bing sat beside Cheng Zhanjun, and Wu Huilin sat down next to Gu Bing, tilting her head to look at Zhou Andong who was sitting on her other side, and glared at him fiercely.

"Chairman!" Zhang Chaoming walked over, bent down, and asked in a low voice: "Can we start serving dinner now?"

"Wait a little longer!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "There are still a few very important guests who haven't arrived yet."

If it were just the old man and the old lady and Shang Hui and the others, there would be no need to wait specifically, but the experts and scholars responsible for the automatic temperature control of the sky garden could not be waited for.

"Are there other guests coming?"

Wu Huilin was very curious. You must know that besides Chen Wenqi and Deng Zhangli, there was also Cheng Zhanjun, the full-time Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Zhou Andong was such a cunning person, and the identities of the people who let these leaders sit there and wait must not be simple.

Zhou Andong opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, then waved his hand gently to fan the smoke away.

"They are the experts who made the automatic temperature control system for our sky garden project. If we can apply the automatic temperature control technology to our off-season greenhouses, we can build a fully automated and highly modernized off-season vegetable planting base."

"Automatic temperature control system?"

When proposing the construction of the sky garden, Cheng Zhanjun knew about this thing, but he had always regarded this thing as a supporting facility for the sky garden.

Now that he suddenly heard that if this thing could be used in off-season greenhouses, it could build a fully automated and highly modernized off-season vegetable planting base, his heart suddenly became hot.

In this era, anything that has to do with high technology, automation, and modernization is political achievement.

Chen Wenqi and Deng Zhangli's hearts were also fluctuating greatly, and the look in their eyes at Zhou Andong was different, very eager.

Zhou Andong naturally knew what they were thinking, and continued: "There won't be much of a problem applying it to off-season vegetable greenhouses, but the main thing is that the price is too high. This can only be taken one step at a time."

Deng Zhangli suddenly said: "What if the city gives the enterprise a subsidy?"

Chen Wenqi's eyes lit up: "If this fully automatic temperature control system can really be applied to greenhouses, it's not a big problem for the city to give the enterprise a subsidy."

Cheng Zhanjun pondered and said: "The province can also strive for it."

Is there such a good thing?

Zhou Andong looked at the three big bosses, and the raised corners of his mouth couldn't be pressed down no matter what. Inviting these guests today was too worthwhile.

The city didn't have much money, but one or two million was definitely no problem. As for the province, it had to be at least ten or eight million. Would they be embarrassed if they gave less?

"I thank the leaders first."

Zhou Andong was not short of money, but who would think that there was too much money? And it was this kind of money that could be taken for nothing in a fair and aboveboard way.

"After the experts have the results of the demonstration, I will go to the leaders to ask for money."

Cheng Zhanjun laughed loudly: "Asking for money is no problem, but don't expect too much. After all, the province is also poor, and it's impossible to give too much."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes. He was thinking of flattering Cheng Zhanjun well, but now it was saved.

At this time, an off-road vehicle drove into the courtyard, followed by two commercial vehicles.

"They're here!"

Zhou Andong got up to greet them, and Cheng Zhanjun, Chen Wenqi, and Deng Zhangli also followed.

They were experts and scholars, after all, they had to be respected, so they naturally couldn't sit there and wait.

The two commercial vehicles hadn't stopped steadily yet, and Shang Hui and the others got off the off-road vehicle.

Then, they saw Zhou Andong and a group of big bosses walking over quickly, and they were suddenly a little numb.

What's the situation? Are these big bosses all drunk? Otherwise, why would they be so labor-intensive to greet these small fries like them?

Immediately after, they heard the sound of car doors opening. Looking back, they found that there were two more commercial vehicles behind.

Then one old man after another with gray hair got off the commercial vehicles. Shang Hui and the others suddenly realized.

The big bosses were not greeting them, but these old men who had just gotten off the car.

"Professor Zhao, Professor Qian, Professor Sun, Professor Li—"

Zhou Andong greeted them one by one, and then introduced them to Cheng Zhanjun, Chen Wenqi, and Deng Zhangli.

After both sides were polite, Zhou Andong introduced the old man and the old lady who were standing on the side, watching the fun happily, to everyone.

"Uncle, Aunt, how are you!" Cheng Zhanjun greeted the old man and the old lady with a smiling face: "You have cultivated a good grandson for Jiangzhou and Liaoning Province."

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong looked at Cheng Zhanjun. Why did this sound so awkward? It must be that this old guy did it on purpose.

Cheng Zhanjun, this full-time Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was really not enough to look at in front of Man Man Laoyezi Zhou, but he still had to be polite.

As for the old lady, it was completely different. Her wrinkled face, full of traces of time, glowed.

Her eldest grandson was truly promising. So many big figures were surrounding her and greeting her enthusiastically, wasn't it because of her eldest grandson?

Zhou Andong greeted everyone to come to the dining table, and then introduced Jiang Gengping and the other professors from the Agricultural University to Professor Zhao and Professor Qian and the others.

"Zhang Chaoming, everyone is hungry, serve the food."

Zhang Chaoming's spirit was lifted, and he greeted them to serve the food. Immediately after, bowls of stewed meat were brought up.

And Zhou Fuyun also arranged for people to take down the roast lamb, put it on a cutting board covered with iron sheet, and then tore the whole sheep apart.

Whether it was Shang Hui and the others or the few reporters from the other group of the provincial TV station, looking at the bowls of stewed meat and roast lamb in front of them, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A young man's throat rolled, and he looked at the young reporter next to Shang Hui's group and whispered.

"When we just arrived here, we saw the roast whole lamb and felt sorry for you that you didn't have this mouth-watering blessing. But I didn't expect Zhou Andong to pick them up."

The young reporter said with a smile: "You wouldn't know that Sister Shang is from Jiangzhou, right?"

"I know!"

The young man saw that the leaders had already started eating, so he naturally didn't be polite, picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of steak first.

The young reporter's hands were not slow either. She picked up a large piece of roast lamb and sent it into her mouth, then muttered.

"Sister Shang is very familiar with Zhou Andong. We were able to come because Zhou Andong sent a car to pick us up."

As time passed, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, mainly because Zhou Andong was besieged.

Whether it was the people Cheng Zhanjun brought down or those heads and brains in the city, they toasted Zhou Andong one cup after another.

And these people were all veterans of the wine field. Even if Zhou Andong soaked in the wine vat every day, he couldn't stand it.

So, this time he was really drunk. When he woke up the next day, he found himself in the farm dormitory.

He lay on the bed in a daze, unable to remember how he returned to his room last night no matter what.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Andong exhaled a long breath, and then smiled bitterly. Soldiers can drink, and these officials are not much worse.

"Bang bang bang..."

A heavy knock on the door sounded. Zhou Andong picked up a glass of water on the nightstand, gulped it down in one breath, and then said.

"Come in!"

Gu Bing pushed the door and walked in. This guy's face was also not very good, probably he was also poured down last night.

"Just got up?" Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and threw it to Gu Bing, then took the lighter and lit the cigarette.

"It's stuffy and hot in the room, why don't you even open the window?"

After Gu Bing took the cigarette, he yawned, then opened the window, and waves of heat were sent into the room by gusts of wind.

"Damn!" Zhou Andong cursed: "You might as well not open the window."

Gu Bing laughed dryly: "Although it's a hot wind, it can also let the room change the air, right?"

As he spoke, this guy sat on the chair in front of the window, and took out a lighter from his pocket to light the cigarette in his mouth.

"That bunch of big masters can really drink. I don't even know how I went to the room. This is still Huilin blocking a lot for me, otherwise I doubt whether I can see today's sun."

Zhou Andong got out of bed after finishing a cigarette: "I drank a stomach full of wine last night, and my stomach is empty when I wake up this morning. Let's go to the canteen to see if there is anything to eat."

Gu Bing stood up lazily and yawned again: "I haven't even washed my face."

Zhou Andong ignored him, left the room, came to the public bathroom, and washed his face at the sink, mainly to make himself sober. This day is really damn hot.

Gu Bing also hurriedly wiped his face, and then the two left the dormitory building, and the heatwave rushed toward their faces.

"Damn, this day is really evil." Zhou Andong looked up at the clear blue sky: "I feel like it's thirty-five or thirty-six degrees."

Gu Bing shook his head and walked toward the canteen: "The canteen has a fan, it should be a little cooler."

The two came to the canteen. Several ceiling fans were spinning. Because of the large space and the fans, the canteen was indeed very cool.

"Uncle, Chairman Gu!" Zhou Fuyun sat in front watching TV. Seeing Zhou Andong, he hurriedly stood up: "Haven't you eaten yet? I'll go get it for you right now."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Just get two cold dishes. In this hot day, I can't eat stir-fried dishes."

It was already eleven o'clock, and the kitchen was busy. Some dishes were already out.

But Zhou Fuyun didn't take these dishes, but personally mixed a smashed cucumber, red oil tendon, spicy beef tripe, and then cut a large plate of sauce beef.

Someone wanted to bring it up, but he didn't let them, but sent the dishes over himself.

"Uncle, I mixed it myself. Taste it and see how it is?"

Zhou Andong picked up his chopsticks and tasted it: "Not bad!"

"Hehe!" Getting Zhou Andong's praise, Zhou Fuyun couldn't help laughing: "What do you want for the staple food?"

Zhou Andong picked up a slice of sauce beef and put it in his mouth: "Rice is fine."

"I'll go get it." Zhou Fuyun left quickly.

Gu Bing was eating something and muttered: "Speaking of which, your cheap nephew is really good. Except for everywhere proclaiming that he has an uncle who is the chairman, he didn't use your banner to get benefits for himself."

Zhou Fuyun brought two bowls of rice and put them in front of Zhou Andong and Gu Bing: "Uncle, Chairman Gu, if you need anything else, just call me."

"Good!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Go get busy."

The two were eating when Zhang Chaoming came: "Chairman, Chairman Gu!"

Zhou Andong pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down, let's eat together."

"I'm not hungry!" Zhang Chaoming shook his head and sat down opposite: "The leaders returned to the city last night, Grandpa and Grandma returned to the village, and Wu Zong left this morning."

"In addition, Professor Zhao and Professor Qian and the others are conducting research in the greenhouse with Professor Jiang from the Agricultural University. It is said that there is no problem with our greenhouse applying the automatic temperature control system."

Zhou Andong said while eating: "Keep an eye on this matter, set up a pilot first, and see how the effect is. If the effect is good, replace all coal heating next year."

Thinking that the farm would become an automated and modernized off-season vegetable planting base, Zhang Chaoming, as the general manager, was excited.

A bowl of rice went into his stomach, and a plate of sauce beef was also eaten for more than half a plate. Zhou Andong finally didn't feel so hungry.

Zhou Andong said to Zhang Chaoming: "Get me two boxes of self-heating lunch boxes."

"I'll have someone send it over." Zhang Chaoming used the canteen phone to notify the production workshop of self-heating lunch boxes to send two boxes of rice to the canteen.

After more than ten minutes, a young man carrying two boxes of rice entered the canteen, sweating profusely.

"Here!" Zhang Chaoming beckoned.

The young man walked over quickly, put the lunch box on the table, and then hurriedly greeted Zhou Andong and Gu Bing.

"Chairman, Chairman Gu!"

Zhou Andong nodded. This young man was very unfamiliar and should be an employee recruited from an outside village.

"Go get busy." Zhou Andong said to Zhang Chaoming, and then stood up: "We are leaving too."

Zhang Chaoming sent Zhou Andong and Gu Bing to the car. He didn't turn around to walk to the factory department until the car disappeared. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and his body was full of energy. At the same time, he was very glad that he agreed to Zhang Xuan's job hopping to the farm.

"Chairman!" Wang Wentian asked: "Are we going back to the city?"

"No!"

Zhou Andong leaned lazily against the back of the chair. In the hot day, even if there was air conditioning in the car, he couldn't lift his spirits.

"Go back to the village and pick up Grandpa and Grandma."

…………………………

Tanghezi during the day was quiet, because young people were either working on the farm or working at the furniture factory. Almost all the people at home during the day were old people and children.

In this hot day, and it was noon, the old people couldn't come out. And children, if it were before, they would definitely be splashing in the Xiaoqing River behind the village at this time.

But the flood had just passed for two days, and the water in the Xiaoqing River hadn't completely receded. The adults at home watched the children strictly. If anyone dared to go to the Xiaoqing River to take a bath at this time, a belt would be inevitable.

So, even if it was summer vacation now, those naughty boys were either hiding at home or hiding with their little partners in some cool place.

"Wentian, just park the car at the entrance of the village, I'll walk."

"Okay!"

Wang Wentian agreed, parked the car at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Andong got off the car.

Gu Bing behind rolled down the car window and shouted: "Where are you going?"

Zhou Andong said without looking back: "I haven't been back for a long time, I'll stroll around."

"Really have a problem." Gu Bing muttered and closed the car window: "Why stroll around in the hot day, not afraid of heatstroke."

Zhou Andong carried the self-heating lunch box in his hand and walked to the village slowly. Suddenly, a young man with bare shoulders, wearing big shorts and slippers, appeared in his sight.

This guy had a cigarette in his mouth, a wine bottle in his hand, and dragons and phoenixes drawn on his body, and he walked swaying.

"Second Kid?" Zhou Andong raised his eyebrows and muttered: "When did this garbage come back?"

Liu Yahang was arrested for speculation and profiteering. It was this guy who reported him. On the day Liu Yahang was released from prison, this guy was so scared that he ran away overnight.

"Zhou Andong?"

Second Kid also saw Zhou Andong. His footsteps paused, and then he puffed out his chest and walked over.

"Damn, Zhou Andong, you made a fortune, now you don't even recognize your brother?"

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched. This garbage really remembers eating but not beating. He couldn't remember how many times Second Kid had been cleaned up by him, but he still dared to act in front of him.
