Chapter 2284

"I just sweated a little, just wash simply."

Zhou Andong walked over, opened his arms, hugged Jian Qiu, and kissed her on the lips.

At this time, Zhou Andong's hair was still wet and not completely wiped dry. Crystal-clear water droplets kept dripping down his hair, falling on Jian Qiu's fair and delicate face.

Jian Qiu stretched out her slender fingers to gently wipe away the water droplets on her face, and then gently helped Zhou Andong wipe away the water stains remaining on his face, a happy smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Andong grabbed Jian Qiu's hand and asked: "First day in office, what do you think I should wear?"

Jian Qiu said with a smile: "Wear a suit. I bought you several suits, and I only saw you wear one."

Zhou Andong pinched his wife's cheek and said fiercely: "The temperature has been 36 or 37 degrees these past few days, and you actually told me to wear a suit and tie. Do you want to heat me to death so you can go find neighbor Old Wang?"

As soon as the voice fell, only a crisp "pa" sound was heard. Jian Qiu slapped Zhou Andong's hand away without ceremony and said unhappily: "I want to find neighbor Old Wang, are there any neighbors around your house?"

Zhou Andong laughed "heh", then grabbed his wife's hand and came to the sofa. He sat down first, then pulled hard, letting Jian Qiu sit on his lap.

Zhou Andong used his fingers to gently comb his wife's smooth hair while saying: "You say, if I burn the first fire as soon as I take office on the first day, will it seem a bit too hasty?"

Jian Qiu nestled in Zhou Andong's arms and said thoughtfully: "After the news of you being appointed as the director of the Woolen Mill spread, they should have started preparing. Therefore, if you can decisively burn the first fire as soon as you take office today, it will definitely catch them off guard."

"I think so too." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Since the knives and guns have been laid out, there's no need to cover up. Just start working when we meet."

Jian Qiu was just about to say something, but suddenly a coquettish look appeared in her eyes. She foolishly smiled, held Zhou Andong's face, kissed him on the lips, and whispered.

"Endure it, it's only a month or so."

Zhou Andong said with a straight face: "Comrade Jian Qiu, please rest assured, I am now empty of everything, have no interest in female sex at all, and will definitely not go find neighbor Cuihua."

Jian Qiu laughed "puchi", grabbed under her butt, and Zhou Andong took a cold breath of "si". Immediately after, Jian Qiu laughed and jumped up.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, bye!"

Looking at the Jian enchantress who was deliberately twisting her waist and looking back step by step as she walked to the bedroom, Zhou Andong got up and wanted to chase her.

Jian Qiu was so scared that she rushed forward two steps, came to the bedroom door, and raised a forbidden gesture.

"The old lady is sleeping, don't mess around."

Zhou Andong gritted his teeth and whispered: "You wait!"

Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong, who was still standing with his flagpole, and gave him a coquettish look: "Husband, come back early tonight, I'll welcome you."

Zhou Andong walked over, and Jian Qiu opened the door and flashed into the bedroom.

"Sigh!"

Zhou Andong lowered his head and glanced at the brother who was still standing firmly and unyieldingly, sighed helplessly, returned to the bathroom to put on clothes, took out a cigarette and lit it, then came to the window, opened the window, and it took a long time for his heart to calm down.

After smoking, Zhou Andong closed the window, turned and left the room. Naturally, when he came to the restaurant, he saw Gu Bing, who was shameless, slurping porridge.

"I say Secretary Gu!" Zhou Andong walked over and sat down: "Your house is not close to here. Running here to eat breakfast early in the morning, do you still want any face?"

Gu Bing swallowed what was in his mouth: "I was thinking, the two of us are taking office on the first day, isn't it a companion to go together?"

Sister Wu brought breakfast to Zhou Andong. Zhou Andong picked up a boiled egg and tapped it: "It seems you have already prepared."

"The Woolen Mill is not a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, does it need preparation?" Gu Bing's tone was very contemptuous: "What do you want to do, you say, I'll do it!"

"No!" Zhou Andong's hand peeling the eggshell paused, then raised his head, with an unbelievable look: "How do you know I will move on the first day?"

"Look down on whom?" Gu Bing looked at Zhou Andong with disdain: "I tell you, it used to be that I didn't want to use my brain, do you really think I have no brain?"

Zhou Andong blinked, then laughed lightly: "Did Uncle talk to you?"

"No!" Gu Bing immediately denied reflexively: "That uncle of yours has always looked down on me, how could he talk to me?"

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "It seems that Uncle still cares about you quite a bit. But that's right, no matter how useless, he is still his own son."

Hearing Zhou Andong's old-fashioned tone, Gu Bing, who originally had a good appetite, lost interest in eating and put the half-eaten fried dough stick on the plate.

"Chatting with someone like you is really disgusting, not eating."

"Was I right?" Zhou Andong laughed uncontrollably and bit half an egg, chewed twice, then hurriedly picked up the water cup beside him and poured it into his mouth, then his throat rolled, and then he opened his mouth and let out a long breath.

"Hahahaha..." This time it was Gu Bing's turn to laugh happily: "Deserved, why didn't you choke to death."

Zhou Andong didn't pay attention to him, drank the remaining half cup of water: "Tell me, what did Uncle talk to you about?"

"Didn't I say it?" Gu Bing denied stubbornly: "That uncle of yours has always looked down on me, how could he talk to me about anything. Besides, don't you know about this?"

"Forget it if you don't say it." Zhou Andong stopped paying attention to Gu Bing and started eating with his head down.

After eating, it was just past seven o'clock. The two came to the courtyard. Zhou Andong just wanted to light a cigarette when he heard Su Su's voice.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

As the voice fell, Su Su's little figure ran out from the moon gate. Seeing Zhou Andong, she accelerated and rushed over.

"Slow down!" Zhou Andong hurriedly squatted down and hugged Su Su.

The little thing looked at her father's face, her little mouth pouted, bean-sized tears slid out of her eyes, and then she stretched out her little arms and hugged Zhou Andong's neck tightly, crying "wa", sounding very aggrieved.

Zhou Andong felt heartache, and also swore that he would definitely not drink with Su Su in the future. Even if he drank, he would stop when it was enough. Even if he drank with the Heavenly King, he couldn't be drunk in front of Su Su.

"Su Su be good, don't cry, don't cry, isn't Daddy fine?"

Gu Bing complained from the side: "You, as a father, are not qualified at all. Yesterday Su Su saw you drunk and unconscious, and was scared to tears. It took a long time to coax her well."

"Su Su!" Zhou Andong patted Su Su's back gently and comforted her: "Daddy promises you, never drink again, okay? Don't cry, don't cry, look, you've cried into a little flower cat, it's not good-looking..."

Regardless of whether Su Su could understand, Zhou Andong comforted her for more than ten minutes before the little girl stopped crying, but she was still sobbing, looking pitiful and cute.

At this time, Lao Si appeared yawning: "Finished crying? Let's go, follow Fourth Aunt to brush teeth and wash face. After eating, Fourth Aunt will take you to RT-Mart to buy delicious food."

When Su Su heard about going to RT-Mart, she sobbed and said: "Daddy, I want to brush teeth and wash face, eat well so I can go to RT-Mart to buy delicious food."

Zhou Andong reached out and wiped Su Su's little face: "Go!"

Looking at Lao Si leading Su Su away, Gu Bing sighed: "In the future, I must have a daughter."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Then hurry up and get married. The feeling of having a daughter to love, tsk tsk tsk, you can't experience it now."

Gu Bing curled his lips, raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, let's go see the audit team from Hong Kong first, and then we have to go to the Organization Department."

At this time, state-owned enterprises had not yet been de-administrative. The appointment and removal of state-owned enterprise leadership teams were managed by the Organization Department of the Party Committee at all levels. For example, municipal state-owned enterprises were managed by the Municipal Organization Department, and county state-owned enterprises were managed by the County Organization Department.

Therefore, Zhou Andong and Gu Bing had to go to the Organization Department first, and then the deputy minister would go to the Woolen Mill with them to announce the appointment.

However, Wang Jianmin would also go with them, because the Party Committee appoints Party positions, and the government appoints administrative positions.

According to convention, it would be announced by the Organization Department together, but the situation of the Woolen Mill was different. Wang Jianmin had to go to support Zhou Andong.

"Wait for me!"

Zhou Andong walked quickly toward the back, passed through the winding corridors and courtyards, and came to the study in the fourth courtyard. He pushed the door, entered the room, opened the desk drawer, took out a document from it, and then turned and came out.

Seeing Zhou Andong coming back with a document bag in his hand, Gu Bing asked curiously: "What are you holding?"

"Talk in the car!" Zhou Andong didn't stop his pace and continued to walk forward: "What time did the people from the Trust Bank arrive yesterday?"

Gu Bing followed quickly and responded: "The plane landed after three o'clock yesterday afternoon. I went to pick them up, and after picking them up, I arranged them all in the Jinwan Hotel."

Zhou Andong nodded and asked again: "Who is the leader who brought them here? Do you know?"

"Know, it's simply familiar to the point of being familiar." Gu Bing tilted his head and looked at Zhou Andong, saying mysteriously: "Guess who it is?"

"Do you think I have half a catty less IQ than you?" Zhou Andong rolled his eyes and laughed unhappily: "Didn't your words clearly tell me it's Zhang Xuan?"

Gu Bing immediately lost interest in chatting and walked forward with his head down.

Zhou Andong laughed "heh": "There's enough time, why walk so fast?"

At this time, Wang Wentian had already driven the car out of the garage and stopped at the entrance of the hutong. Today the chairman was going to take office at the Woolen Mill, so he got up early and wiped the car clean, even without a bit of mud on the tires.

Gu Bing walked straight to the car, reached out and opened the door, got into the car, and then used force, only to hear a "bang" sound, and the door was closed heavily.

Zhou Andong got into the car slowly from the other side and ordered Wang Wentian in the driver's seat: "Go to the Jinwan Hotel."

After saying this, he handed a document bag in his hand to Gu Bing: "Take a look!"

Gu Bing snorted coldly, took the document bag reluctantly, tore open the bag somewhat roughly, and pulled out the documents inside. It was just a few sheets of paper, and it was Zhou Andong's handwriting on it.

"Lack of motivation, impractical style, low efficiency, incomplete system, these four major problems..."

Gu Bing muttered softly, his brows slightly wrinkled. After about ten minutes, Gu Bing slowly raised his head: "This indeed comprehensively and accurately summarizes the predicament currently faced by the Woolen Mill. However, it is not easy to truly solve these problems."

After saying this, Gu Bing closed the document gently and continued: "For the leading cadres in the factory, it's still easy to handle. Anyway, we are going to have a thorough cleanup. Those who are capable go up, those who are mediocre go down, and those who are in positions but not doing anything or have no achievements will be replaced by a batch of fresh blood with ability and responsibility. In this way, the management level should be effectively improved and enhanced.

But ah, the really tricky thing is the workers. Everyone is the same whether they do more or less, and there is no obvious difference in wage treatment. As a result, the phenomenon of mixing days at work is naturally common. And this situation is not unique to the Woolen Mill; it can almost be said to be a common problem for workers in all state-owned enterprises. Wanting to change this status quo, how easy is it? If you are not careful, I am afraid it will trigger mass incidents, and then the situation will be difficult to clean up."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "At the beginning, wasn't the Jiangzhou Distillery the same? How is it now?"

"Different!" Gu Bing shook his head: "If it weren't for the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government being of one mind, and under the interference of some people, vigorously promoting the retreat of the state and the advance of the people, implementing the shareholding system, and letting workers become the masters of the factory, it would be impossible to change this status quo.

But the Woolen Mill is different. It is too special. The Beijing Municipal Government cannot let go and retreat completely, and even the controlling rights will not be handed over. So the Woolen Mill is still a state-owned enterprise. Even if we have 10% of the shares, if we want to raise wages for workers, we have to be approved by the city. So, you want to solve this matter, it is completely impossible."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Brother Five, do you think that if those old men above don't give me the greatest autonomy, I will agree to come to the muddy water of the Woolen Mill?"

"Ah?" Gu Bing's eyes widened: "Is the Beijing Municipal Government also going to retreat from the Woolen Mill?"

"No, no, no!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "This is like what you said, the Woolen Mill is too special, the Beijing Municipal Government cannot retreat. However, the city can retain controlling rights, but the shareholding system reform must be carried out. If they don't agree, we will resign and leave immediately. They can toss however they want, I won't serve them."

Gu Bing blinked and said with a smile: "If the city can really agree to the shareholding reform and let workers become shareholders, this matter will be easy to solve."
