Chapter 2308: The smartest person in the woolen mill

~8 min read 1,422 words

"Good!" Dai Weimin responded without hesitation; such a good thing was naturally something he would ask for.

"Deputy Factory Director Dai!"

Liu Bo, standing behind, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Dai Weimin. He was unaware that Dai Weimin had resumed his work, but the Factory Director inviting Dai Weimin to dinner clearly revealed some unusual implications.

"Principal Liu, hello!" Dai Weimin responded with a smile, then stepped aside to let Zhou Andong go first, then followed behind with Liu Bo.

The last ones were Bai Lili and Wang Yue; they were very unfamiliar with Dai Weimin. In fact, they hadn't heard at all that there was still a deputy factory director surnamed Dai in the factory.

Originally, they wanted to greet Dai Weimin, but they never found a suitable opportunity to speak, so they could only walk silently at the end.

At this time, there were not many people in the fourth-floor corridor. After all, the total number of school staff was no more than two hundred, and this time the wage distribution was based on the frontline staff's basic salary, neither benefits nor bonuses, so the amount for everyone was the same. Therefore, the wage distribution speed was quite fast, and everyone could leave after signing their names.

"Factory Director!"

"Factory Director!"

"Factory Director!"

"..."

Seeing Zhou Andong, the teachers greeted him enthusiastically one after another, among whom two female teachers shed tears.

"Factory Director!" The two female teachers came to Zhou Andong and bowed to him.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Andong wanted to stop them but it was too late, so he could only sigh. Looking at the clothing of the two female teachers, it was obvious that their family life had already reached a very desperate point.

"Factory Director!" A female teacher of forty-two or forty-three wiped the corner of her eye, her voice choked with sobs: "My father-in-law is in poor health, my mother-in-law is disabled, and my husband and I are both school teachers."

"At the beginning, although the wages were halved, there were still some savings at home, and life could barely go on. But after the Spring Festival this year, my father-in-law had a serious illness, and not only were the family's savings spent, but we also owed more than two thousand yuan in external debt."

"Actually, even so, biting our teeth and tightening our belts, my father-in-law and mother-in-law went to the vegetable market every day to pick up some rotten leaves, and they wouldn't starve to death."

"But three months ago, wages were suddenly suspended, and our whole family fell into a desperate situation. If it weren't for colleagues helping out, borrowing some money here and borrowing some rice there, our whole family wouldn't have been able to persist until now; I reckon the grass would have grown on our graves."

Hearing the female teacher's words, Zhou Andong felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and at the same time, he hated those maggots Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun to the bone.

Damn it, you eat big fish and meat every day, smoke famous cigarettes, drink famous wine, and sit in small cars, yet you turn a blind eye to these staff members who have fallen into a desperate situation. If I don't send you all in, I won't be able to rest easy for the rest of my life.

Zhou Andong held the female teacher's hand, swept his gaze over the others, and said in a deep voice: "I will give you an explanation."

Everyone thought Zhou Andong's explanation was to make up for the wages of these years, and didn't think in other directions. Even if someone met Zhou Andong in the afternoon and shouted that they must thoroughly investigate Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, no one took it seriously; I reckon even the person who said this was just venting, not expecting Zhou Andong to really investigate.

At this time, Zhou Qianyi and Zhang Xuan heard the movement outside and came out of Guan Mingli's office.

"Brother!"

Zhou Andong nodded and looked at Zhang Xuan: "How is it, is the audit team from Hong Kong accustomed to it?"

"They are all Chinese, what's there to be unaccustomed to." Zhang Xuan smiled: "Ms. Zhou arranged for them to stay at the Jinwan Hotel, with breakfast and dinner provided by the hotel, and only lunch at the woolen mill; it's quite good."

Zhou Andong said to Zhou Qianyi with a smile: "The accommodation and meal expenses for the audit team will be reimbursed by the woolen mill. You keep the bills well."

"Okay!" Zhou Qianyi said with a smile: "This is the woolen mill's business, so the audit team's entertainment expenses should naturally be paid by the woolen mill; the Jinwan Hotel is not a charity."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly and said to Zhou Qianyi: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on this place, especially the security at night must be done well."

The expression on Zhou Qianyi's face also became serious: "I will send more people at night, and the Municipal Bureau will also increase police force."

Zhou Andong continued: "In addition, the factory security department cannot be trusted. No matter what they say, we won't use a single person, and they cannot even get close to the factory gate."

"Security Department Director Huang Junyong came to find me, just after you finished the appointment meeting."

The expression on Zhou Qianyi's face became somewhat strange: "He said a lot, and also cursed Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun for half a day, saying they were not things, ruining such a good woolen mill."

"Now that Factory Director Zhou has come, seeing that good days are coming, yet Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun are still engaging in internal fighting for their own selfish interests; they should be shot."

Zhou Andong blinked: "And then?"

Zhou Qianyi laughed 'heh': "Then, he requested that the security work of the Finance Department be handed over to the Security Department; there is no need to spend money to hire security guards outside, and even less need to owe the Municipal Bureau a favor."

Zhou Andong asked with full curiosity: "How did you answer?"

Zhou Qianyi said: "I said, this matter is not up to me, let him go find the Factory Director. He also said he would go find you. How come, didn't he go?"

Zhou Andong smacked his lips, then looked at Dai Weimin standing on the side: "Old Dai, is our woolen mill's Director Huang the only smart person, and the rest are all fools?"

Dai Weimin was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and couldn't help but laugh.

"Director Huang is indeed very smart and full of feelings for the woolen mill. Otherwise, how would he dare to curse Director Shi and Factory Director Hu?"

Zhou Andong said with great emotion: "It was me who neglected this talent, Director Huang, but he didn't come to find me. He must be angry with me, blaming me for not valuing him, this talent. I must talk to him properly tomorrow. Such a good cadre who is dedicated to the public cannot have his heart hurt."

"Factory Director!"

"Factory Director!" 【2308-4

"Principal Liu!"

"..."

The faculty and staff who had finished receiving their wages came out of the large conference room and greeted Zhou Andong and Liu Bo one after another. In just over ten minutes, the last twenty or so people had also received their wages.

Zhou Andong said to Wang Yue and Bai Lili: "What are you two waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and get your wages? The finance department will be off work in a while."

"We're going right now!" Wang Yue and Bai Lili ran into the conference room holding hands.

Zhou Andong looked at Liu Bo: "Principal Liu, why aren't you going?"

"No rush!" Liu Bo was very steady, because he knew that Principal Ma and Principal Yan would definitely be the last to receive theirs.

He went in only after Wang Yue and Bai Lili came out. Just as he expected, Principal Ma and Principal Yan were receiving their wages.

Zhou Andong said to Zhang Xuan: "We're going to eat in a while, you should come along too."

"Okay!" Zhang Xuan asked: "Where are we going to eat?"

"I haven't decided on a place yet!" Zhou Andong said: "You choose; wherever you say, we'll go."

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment: "It's been a long time since I've been to Taifeng Tower, let's go there."
