Chapter 2309

"No problem!" Zhou Andong nodded with a smile, then stepped toward the four police officers standing at the entrance of the cashier's office.

"Comrades, you've worked hard!" Zhou Andong said with a smile on his face, shaking hands with the four police officers.

One of the middle-aged police officers said politely: "Factory Director Zhou, hello, we haven't worked hard!"

Zhou Andong took a cigarette out of his pocket, then distributed one to each of the four police officers: "Come, have a cigarette to relieve the fatigue."

The police officers waved their hands hurriedly and said politely: "No need, Factory Director Zhou, we have our own cigarettes."

"You came to help, and I'm not paying you a salary, so having a cigarette is only right; don't be polite."

Hearing Zhou Andong say this, the four police officers accepted the cigarettes. Then Zhou Andong took a lighter out of his pocket, preparing to light the cigarettes for the officers.

Seeing this, the four police officers hurriedly waved their hands, took out lighters from their own pockets one after another, and said: "We'll do it ourselves, we'll do it ourselves!"

It was nothing for Zhou Andong to distribute cigarettes for them to smoke, but if he were to light them for them, and they accepted it with peace of mind, then they would truly be ignorant of the situation.

Zhou Andong didn't insist either. He turned his head to look at the security guard standing to the side and instructed: "Go downstairs and find Wang Wentian. There are cigarettes in the car trunk; bring four cartons up."

The security personnel immediately replied: "Yes!" Then he turned and walked away quickly, his movements very swift and neat.

Zhou Andong watched the security personnel's departing back, then turned his gaze back to the four police officers and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, you chat; I'll go in and take a look."

The four police officers nodded hurriedly in response: "You go ahead, you go ahead!"

Zhou Andong pushed open the door of the large conference room, and his gaze swept over everyone in the room. At this moment, in the conference room, besides company executives like Gu Bing, Ma Qingmin, Yan Minru, and Liu Bo, there were also Dou Jincheng and several accountants and cashiers.

And among these people, there was Zhen Xiaoxia, the cashier who performed most actively when Zhou Qianyi raided the finance department.

"Factory Director!"

"Factory Director!"

"Factory Director!"

Those who were originally sitting down, seeing Zhou Andong enter, stood up one after another and greeted him in unison.

Zhen Xiaoxia stood in the crowd, trying hard to restrain the excitement in her heart, not letting her emotions be too exposed.

Guan Mingli was taken away for investigation; they in the finance department were the first to know the news. Of course, this news was brought back by Dou Jincheng.

It was to tell those lackeys of Guan Mingli that your master is finished; I will be in charge of the finance department from now on, and you had better behave yourself.

And the dozen or so of Guan Mingli's trusted aides, including Gao Jianchuan, suddenly felt as if the sky had collapsed, their faces deathly pale, without a hint of blood color. The strength in their bodies seemed to have been drained away all at once; if they hadn't been sitting in chairs at the time, they probably would have collapsed onto the ground.

Thinking of the dejected state of Gao Xiaochuan and those people, Zhen Xiaoxia secretly rejoiced in her heart. When Zhou Zong (Zhou Qianyi) raided the finance department the day before yesterday, she had actively performed without hesitation, and all of this had been seen by Zhou Zong.

Now, for paying the wages of the faculty and staff, because the finance department is undergoing an audit, Division Chief Dou Jincheng needs to report to Zhou Qianyi, who is in charge of the audit work. And she, Zhen Xiaoxia, is the very person Zhou Qianyi named to assist Division Chief Dou.

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "Is it finished?"

Dou Jincheng responded hurriedly: "All have been paid in arrears, and I have already greeted the bank; starting tomorrow, we will pay the wages owed from the past few years. But this work definitely cannot be completed in one day, so we will first pay the primary school, then the junior high school, and finally the technical secondary school!"

"That's fine!" Zhou Andong nodded: "With this month's wages, it can greatly alleviate the living pressure of the faculty and staff, so they won't have to go pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat."

Yan Minru, this little old lady, is very emotional; she started wiping away tears after Zhou Andong arrived.

"Factory Director, I thank you on behalf of all the faculty and staff of the school."

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "This is a serious mistake committed by the previous leadership team; I am just correcting the error, don't thank me back and forth."

"Besides, staff not having enough to eat, and even going to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat, this is not glory for the factory leadership team, but a disgrace."

"I agree with this!" Gu Bing took over the conversation and said: "If an enterprise's leadership team cannot let the staff have enough to eat, then they are unqualified. If performance declines and the factory leadership team doesn't think of ways to improve performance, but instead relies on exploiting employees to maintain performance, that is committing a crime."

Zhou Andong and Gu Bing's words were very inspiring, making everyone in the large conference room listen with high spirits.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Secretary, Principal Ma, Principal Yan, Principal Liu, let's go; let's find a place to have a drink."

Liu Bo knew, but Ma Qingmin and Yan Minru didn't; the two looked at each other. It's true that they are principals, but not a single factory leader had ever invited them to dinner, which made them feel a bit at a loss.

"Principal Ma, Principal Yan!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Let's go; Deputy Factory Director Dai and Ms. Zhang Xuan, President of Xiangjiang Trust Bank, are still waiting outside."

Liu Bo pulled the arms of Ma Qingmin and Yan Minru: "The factory director is inviting us to dinner, with good wine and good meat, what are you still thinking about."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "That's right, today you can order whatever you want; you decide what to eat and what to drink."

This scene was full of envy in Dou Jincheng's eyes, but he knew very well in his heart that although he is now the acting Division Chief of the Finance Department, his situation is actually very awkward.

To be qualified to attend the dinner party organized by the factory director, he has to wait until he achieves results, and only then will he have a chance if the factory director is satisfied. In other words, he is still in the assessment period.

Just as his thought flashed through his mind, he heard Zhou Andong, who had walked to the door, say.

"Division Chief Dou, you have also worked hard for half a day, come along together."

Dou Jincheng was stunned, thinking he had hallucinated, and stood there without any reaction.

Zhen Xiaoxia was anxious and secretly poked Dou Jincheng: "Division Chief, the factory director said we have worked hard for half a day, let us go together."

"Ah?"

Only then did Dou Jincheng react, and by this time Zhou Andong and the others had already gone out.

"The factory director let us follow along together?"

"Yes!" Zhen Xiaoxia nodded vigorously: "You didn't hear wrong, the factory director let us follow along together."

Dou Jincheng was still a bit skeptical and looked at the other few people: "You all heard it?"

"Yes!" Several people nodded along: "We all heard it, that's what the factory director said."

The factory director is treating; what to eat or drink is not important, but being able to sit at the same table with the factory leaders to eat—such an opportunity, if missed today, will absolutely never happen again.

Dou Jincheng finally believed it, his excited face suddenly turned flushed, and he walked out quickly.

"Hurry up!"

Zhen Xiaoxia and the other few people followed excitedly.

At this time, Zhou Andong was holding four cartons of Huazi cigarettes, stuffing them into the arms of the four police officers.

"Take them; security work is not easy to do, you have to stay vigilant at all times. This is to refresh your spirits; this definitely doesn't count as bribery."
