Chapter 2256: Still You, Old Zhou, Are Cunning

Wu Hongkang nodded slightly, a look of thought appearing on his face, and nodded slowly: "Sure enough, it's still you, Old Zhou, who are cunning!"

Zhou Andong's arm lifted slightly, his index finger pointed lightly at Wu Hongkang in the void, and then he shook his head helplessly.

"I said Old Wu, you are a bit crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. This is very unkind, you won't have friends."

Wu Hongkang laughed when he heard this, and responded with a bit of teasing: "I originally thought you would directly say I was killing the donkey after the mill!"

Zhou Andong sighed helplessly, saying with regret: "Originally, I had another trick to teach you, but judging from the current situation, it seems completely unnecessary."

"Don't, can I apologize to you?" Wu Hongkang was in a hurry, and hurriedly raised the wine bottle in his hand: "It's all my brother's fault. I'll apologize to you here. I'll punish myself with half a bottle!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Hongkang tilted his head, aimed the bottle mouth at his big mouth, and gulped down the beer. In the blink of an eye, half a bottle of beer was drunk by him in one gulp.

After drinking, he wiped the corner of his mouth casually, and then continued to speak: "How about it, Old Zhou, is my sincerity enough?"

"This old guy has learned bad habits. It seems it won't be easy to fool him in the future," Zhou Andong muttered in his heart, and then said: "When convening a meeting of cadres at the middle level and above, be sure to prepare a video camera to record the entire process of the meeting completely. Keep a copy for the factory and keep one for yourself."

"If one day in the future, BYD really soars into the sky as expected and achieves great success, then this detailed meeting record will undoubtedly become a powerful bomb."

"By then, once someone questions you for embezzling state-owned assets, as long as you take it out and make it public, you can blow that Jiang Jingming to pieces and bury him completely in the dust of history."

The more Zhou Andong thought about it, the more he felt this idea was wonderful. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a trace of imperceptible smug smile.

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette leisurely, and the smoke was slowly exhaled from his mouth, forming ethereal smoke rings one after another.

"And regarding the share issue of Brave to the End, absolutely don't leave any handle for anyone. When you convene a meeting of cadres at the middle level and above, be sure to describe the future broad development prospects of the beer industry to them in detail."

"But because someone maliciously reported you to the higher-ups, you had to sell the shares of Brave to the End. But because you are very optimistic about the prospects of beer, you borrowed money everywhere, even from the bank, and bought the shares of Brave to the End at the original investment price."

"Here, we can dig another hole for Jiang Jingming. You might as well let everyone vote by show of hands to decide whether to buy back these shares. If everyone is willing, then you can sell them back to the winery at the original price."

"I think that Jiang Jingming will definitely stand out and oppose it without hesitation. Once the sales of Brave to the End explode, his ability will definitely be widely questioned. In this way, before you retire, he will not pose any substantial threat to you!"

"Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I really wouldn't have noticed this point," Wu Hongkang nodded in realization: "Speaking of which, Brave to the End currently, besides sponsoring this year's Jia-A League, doesn't seem to have much other form of advertising investment. Should the follow-up publicity be followed up quickly, and then start preparing for national distribution?"

"The publicity plan is already there," Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said slowly: "The senior management of Yugong Group and its subsidiaries are all in Beijing, including the general manager of Brave to the End. They will take the train back to Jiangzhou tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning, I will talk to him about the publicity plan."

Wu Hongkang couldn't help but say: "I also heard that CCTV is going to hold an auction for prime-time advertisements this year. In my opinion, we might as well go and join in the fun and compete for it!"

Zhou Andong grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them: "That guy Old Zhang has always been thinking about buying CCTV's prime-time advertisements. Now that he has finally waited for such an opportunity to get what he wants, and now you want to go and intervene, he will definitely be so angry that he will jump and curse."

"Why would he jump?" Wu Hongkang curled his lips: "Qin Chi is not his own industry, but Brave to the End is truly our own!"

Zhou Andong smiled and said: "Old Wu, if you say this, you have no awareness at all. If it reaches the ears of the leaders, I'm afraid you will inevitably be severely criticized."

Wu Hongkang snorted coldly, full of resentment: "I have worked diligently in Hongxing for half my life, and it can be said that I have dedicated all my youth and blood to this place. But in the end, I was maliciously reported by a villain with ulterior motives. My heart has gone cold."

"A hero is not a hero without suffering from heaven, and a mediocre person is not a mediocre person without being envied!" Zhou Andong cracked melon seeds: "You have to think about everything."

"In this life, the more you fight, the more tired your heart is; the more you resent, the more annoyed your heart is; the more you hate, the more angry your heart is. It seems like you are embarrassing others, but in fact, you are torturing yourself. You have to learn to let go, which is treating yourself well."

"All your pressure is because you want too much. All your pain is because you are too serious. Everyone has different pursuits and different positions. Don't cultivate yourself in other people's hearts, and don't force others in your own heart."

"You have to learn to digest yourself, think openly, look openly, and let go. If you have power and money, live your life well; if you don't have power and money, then live your mood well..."

Wu Hongkang looked at Zhou Andong blankly, and it took a long time before he gave a thumbs up: "Old Zhou, no wonder you can reach such a height today. Just based on this open-minded heart, I think I can't compare, and I will really learn from you in the future."

"Fuck your mother!"

An angry curse suddenly came from not far away, making the originally noisy environment suddenly quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look over.

I saw a young man wearing a white tank top and red and white plaid shorts, poking a waiter's forehead with his finger.

"Let your boss get out. Within ten minutes, if he doesn't come out, I will smash this broken bar of his."

Zhou Andong raised an eyebrow slightly, and said gloatingly: "It seems this person has a great background, actually wanting to smash the First Bar."

Now, even ordinary guests know that the boss of the First Bar has a great background, and the background is very, very deep. And this guy who is making trouble couldn't possibly not know that the bar boss is Tang Lin.

Wu Hongkang looked at the young man, his face changed: "You can still laugh?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong asked curiously, "Does that guy have a great background?"

"How should I put it!" Wu Hongkang paused slightly, and then said slowly, "Have you heard of Ren Jiazhong?"

"No!"

Zhou Andong answered, his eyes kept paying attention to the development of the situation over there. That guy kept threatening the waiter, but hadn't made a move yet.

Wu Hongkang also paid attention to the situation over there, while observing, he continued: "You haven't heard of the name Ren Jiazhong, but you should have heard of Dai."

Zhou Andong heard this, withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned to look at Wu Hongkang, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You mean that guy is Dai?"

Wu Hongkang shook his head and said: "No, his name is Chang Shengli, and he is Dai's subordinate."

Zhou Andong turned his head to look over again: "I heard that one of Dai's subordinates surnamed Bai is quite famous."

"Bai Xiaohang!" Wu Hongkang picked up a bottle of beer on the table, then opened the bottle cap with a bottle opener, and then took a sip of beer.

"But strictly speaking, Bai Xiaohang should be a friend of Dai, not a subordinate in the true sense. But this Chang Shengli is different. He often follows Dai."

"A few years ago, Dai went to Shencheng, and he followed. Now, he appears here, I guess Dai is also back."

Zhou Andong frowned, threw the handful of melon seeds he was holding onto the table casually, and then reached out to pick up the beer bottle and took a sip.

"So, Dai is also here?"

Wu Hongkang scanned left and right, and then answered: "He shouldn't have come. I have seen Dai twice before, and that person looks gentle."

"Moreover, no matter what kind of person he treats, whether it is someone with power and money or poor people, he always behaves modestly and politely, with a graceful demeanor."

"If someone who doesn't know his background, it would be hard to associate him with the underworld even if they were beaten to death. So, if he is really in this bar today, no matter what the reason is, with his style of doing things, he would definitely not allow Chang Shengli to make trouble so unscrupulously."

"Fuck your mother!"

Just as the two were talking, Chang Shengli had reached the limit of his patience. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he suddenly raised his right hand, fiercely falling towards the waiter's face. Immediately after, with a crisp sound, the waiter's face swelled up visibly to the naked eye.

A cold light flashed in Zhou Andong's eyes, and he got up to go over. At this time, more than a dozen security guards filed in from the door, and Zhou Andong sat back down slowly.

In this era, as long as it is an entertainment venue, regardless of the size, there will be people watching the venue, otherwise your business will not be able to operate steadily.

But the First Bar is an exception, because Tang Lin's identity is there. Whether it is black or white, as long as the brain is still normal and they don't think their life is too long, it is impossible to come here to make trouble.

Besides that, there is another key reason, that is, "You Say It Counts" and "Future Culture" are both here, and there are forty security guards in total.

Even if some small friction or accidents occur in the bar, as long as someone goes over to greet them, the security guards can quickly arrive to handle it.

Isn't that right? Just now, Chang Shengli made trouble, and the welcoming lady at the door ran out without hesitation, and soon called people over.

At this time, the waiter who was beaten had his face swollen high, but he didn't show any fear or retreat. Instead, he held his head high and stared at Chang Shengli with an extremely contemptuous look.

"I don't care who you are, I have remembered this slap today. At the same time, I hope you don't forget it!"

Zhou Andong heard the waiter's words and laughed: "How much courage did Tang Lin give him, he could actually be so brave."

Wu Hongkang was also happy: "Anyway, this kid is indeed responsible. You have to reward him well afterwards. This slap cannot be taken in vain."

"Ha!" Chang Shengli laughed, his laughter full of undisguised sarcasm. Immediately after, this guy raised his hand high again extremely arrogantly, and seeing the slap was about to fall fiercely...

Just at this moment, a large hand covered with calluses, as powerful as iron pliers, suddenly stretched out and grabbed Chang Shengli's wrist tightly.

Chang Shengli's eyes jumped, his eyes instantly solidified, and he turned his head fiercely to look at the person who suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist.

This person was not tall, estimated to be around 1.7 meters. He was half a head shorter than him. He was wearing a dark blue uniform, the fabric looked quite good, and the tailoring was appropriate.

Particularly eye-catching was the four characters "Jin Dun Security" printed on his chest, and next to it was a delicate chest badge, with a string of numbers clearly engraved on it.

Chang Shengli widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the other person, his eyes full of murderous intent. At the same time, the rolls of fat on his face trembled with rage.

Judging solely by his ferocious expression at this moment, anyone would think this guy was definitely not a good person; even a crying child would likely be scared back into silence upon seeing him.

"Do you know who I am?" As soon as Chang Shengli's words, filled with disdain and arrogance, fell, the five people who had been sitting at the same table with him, smiling and watching the commotion, suddenly stood up in unison as if a switch had been flipped.

The gazes of these five guys were very unfriendly, staring provocatively at the dozen or so security personnel opposite them. The security guard who had grabbed Chang Shengli's wrist was named Cao Jinquan, the deputy captain of the security team for "You Decide" and "Future Culture."

Cao Jinquan was on duty tonight, leading his men on their scheduled patrol, when he suddenly saw the bar's hostess running over, panting and looking anxious, shouting from far away that someone was causing trouble in the bar.

Hearing that someone was causing trouble in the bar, how could he let that slide?

Not to mention how Tang Lin treated them as security guards on a daily basis, the chairman was also one of the owners of the bar. Therefore, no matter who was causing trouble, he had to handle the matter properly and quickly; he absolutely could not let the situation escalate further and affect the bar's normal operations.

"Who you are has nothing to do with me."

Cao Jinquan released his hand expressionlessly, his face neither happy nor angry, looking at Chang Shengli with a very indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"If you want to drink, then drink honestly. If you don't want to drink anymore, then please leave. Do not cause trouble here."

"Fuck!" Chang Shengli turned his head to look at the other five people, grinned, and laughed with his teeth bared: "Did you fucking hear clearly what this idiot said?"
