Chapter 2338

At this time, Liu Zhiguang was like a different person compared to two years ago. His whole person had become much thinner, his skin had become much darker, he had a crew cut on his head, but he looked very capable, and his body also revealed a sharpness that he didn't have before.

"General Manager Lei!" Liu Zhiguang stretched out his right hand with a full face of smiles, shaking hands tightly with Lei Ming, while saying at the same time: "I'm really sorry, I'm late!"

A smile brighter than the sun bloomed on Lei Ming's face, and he waved his hand, saying: "Not late at all!"

At this time, Lei Ming couldn't see a trace of the shadow of a underworld big brother at all; his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, exactly the same as the expression of an ancient brothel procuress when receiving guests.

"It's that Third Master and I came early."

As the saying goes, money can not only make the mill push the ghost, but also make the underworld big brother break his waist. The reason Lei Ming was so polite to Liu Zhiguang was because they wanted to sell clothing to Russia. And Liu Zhiguang's connections in Russia just happened to satisfy their needs.

If they could successfully open the Russian market, Third Master would be able to eat until his stomach flowed with oil, and he, Lei Ming, as the Deputy General Manager of Wenliang Trading Company, would naturally be able to drink soup until he was full, and it would be the most delicious first-pass soup, the kind with a layer of oil floating on top.

"General Manager Lei, hello!"

"General Manager Lei, hello!"

There were two other people behind Liu Zhiguang, precisely the two subordinates who had delivered goods with him at the border of Dongning City last year. At that time, they were almost caught, and one of the guys named Lao Qing even got shot in the leg, and then the three of them escaped across the border to save their lives.

(Forget to look back at Chapter 812)

Liu Zhiguang walked into the private room, his gaze scanned the private room, and then his vision fell on Wen Sancao; the dissatisfaction in his eyes flashed away instantly, covered up by the smile on his face that was as warm as the spring breeze.

Liu Zhiguang walked quickly to Wen Sancao, stretched out his right hand, and said: "Third Master, I'm really sorry, because I was delayed by some temporary matters, making you wait for a long time."

Wen Sancao sat without moving, a faint smile hanging on his face, shaking hands with Liu Zhiguang. In the eyes of this old thing, Lei Ming going to the door to welcome Liu Zhiguang was already giving him enough face.

He did indeed attach great importance to Liu Zhiguang, but to make him stand up to welcome him, Liu Zhiguang was not qualified enough. At least from the strength Liu Zhiguang currently displayed, he was not enough to be seen in front of his Third Master Wen.

"Third Master!"

"Third Master!"

Lao Qing and Guan Shisheng called out very politely. Both of them were also engaged in the business of licking blood on the edge of a knife. Wen Sancao's reputation in the underworld was indeed not small, but they really weren't afraid. Moreover, this time it was the other party who had a request for them.

"Sit!" Wen Sancao nodded, then said to Lei Ming: "Leizi, notify them to serve the dishes."

"Alright!" Lei Ming agreed, then stood at the door and beckoned to a waiter: "Waiter, serve the dishes!"

That waiter hurriedly agreed, turned around, and ran downstairs to notify the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Lei Ming returned to his seat, poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhiguang, and said with a smile: "General Manager Liu, this tea is Longjing from the eighteen trees in front of the imperial palace; you can't get it on the market. Taste it and see how it is."

"Is that so? Then I have to drink a few more cups." Liu Zhiguang picked up the teacup, blew on it, and then took a shallow sip: "Delicious, such top-grade good tea, it definitely can't be bought on the market. But for Third Master, wanting to drink it is just a matter of one sentence; I don't know how many people have sent it to your hands."

"Hahaha..."

Wen Sancao burst into laughter, happily accepting Liu Zhiguang's flattery: "Old Brother Liu, fifteen thousand woolen coats are no problem; I guarantee delivery by the end of this month."

Liu Zhiguang's eyes lit up, and he said very readily: "The payment is also no problem; pay upon delivery."

Wen Sancao was very satisfied with Liu Zhiguang's words: "Old Brother Liu, don't forget, what I want is dollars!"

Liu Zhiguang laughed: "I won't forget, I have already prepared the dollars."

Getting Liu Zhiguang's affirmative reply, Wen Sancao laughed loudly again; it could be seen that this guy was in a very good mood at this time.

This dinner party today wasn't for talking about business, but for connecting feelings, so the words were finished in two or three sentences, the waiter also brought the dishes up, and the five people began to push cups and change cups.

After three rounds of drinking, because Wen Sancao still had to rush to attend Jia Dai's farewell banquet, he left after drinking a few cups of wine. In Wen Sancao's view, giving Liu Zhiguang enough face today was already enough, and letting Lei Ming stay to accompany them was already very good.

Downstairs at Tianfu Building, near the entrance, sat a young man and a young woman. While eating, they were chatting about something, and the young woman would occasionally be teased by the young man into laughing out loud.

When Wen Sancao came down from upstairs and his figure appeared at the stairwell, the young woman facing the stairwell looked up inadvertently. Her gaze didn't even linger on Wen Sancao, and then she quickly turned back to the young man, continuing to laugh and talk with him in a low voice; that glance looked very casual.

And the boss, seeing Wen Sancao come down, hurriedly greeted him with a full face of smiles, fawningly saying: "Third Master, have you finished drinking?"

Wen Sancao nodded expressionlessly, responding indifferently: "I still have some matters, I'll leave first. They haven't finished drinking yet; if they need anything, just serve it to them, and all expenses will be on my account."

As soon as the boss heard this, he hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying: "Alright, Third Master, don't worry, I will definitely serve Third Master's friends comfortably!"

After speaking, the boss even personally sent Wen Sancao out of the door, diligently opened the car door for him, and watched Wen Sancao get into the car.

The moment Wen Sancao's car slowly drove away, the smile on the boss's face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of helplessness, and he cursed in his heart.

"Damn it, it sounds nice to put it on my account, but when the hell will you send the money to me?"

The boss was cursing in his heart, but he could only curse in his heart. As for asking Wen Sancao for the debt, forget it; those of them who do small business, who would dare to offend Wen Sancao? Did they still want to do business?

Wen Sancao cared most about face. If you go to him to ask for a debt, that is slapping his face. Of course, he will definitely give you the money, but the retaliation afterward will also follow. As for reporting to the police, that's even more unthinkable. Because you report to the police in the front, Wen Sancao will get the news in the back. The final result wouldn't be as painful as hitting a piece of tofu to death.

What no one noticed was that when Wen Sancao got into the car, the young man and woman seemed to have a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and then the young man picked up the cigarette placed on the table, his movements appearing somewhat casual, but also seeming to have some deep meaning.

As Wen Sancao's car slowly drove away, the cigarette in the young man's hand was also skillfully lit by him. At the same time, a black Santana that was originally parked by the roadside opposite quietly followed Wen Sancao's car.

At the same time, Zhou Andong also returned to the Woolen Mill. He walked quickly upstairs while explaining some things to Liu Liyuan beside him.

"You know the Overseas Trust Bank of Hong Kong, right? It has already started business in Beijing. You go run for a loan tomorrow, tell them, as long as they make the interest the lowest, they will become one of the Woolen Mill's partners."

"I don't know much!" Liu Liyuan followed behind Zhou Andong: "I heard about it in the Finance Department; it is said that this bank is very capable."

"Whether it is capable or not, let's not talk about it first." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "They have already started business in Beijing. You go talk to them about a loan tomorrow, tell them, as long as they can make the interest the lowest, they will become one of the Woolen Mill's partners."

Liu Liyuan said with doubt on her face: "Given our factory's current situation, if we want to get a loan from a foreign bank, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. In comparison, I think it's more appropriate to find the Big Four banks. Although it won't be that quick to get a loan from them, after all, we are partners with them, so they will give us some face, right?"

Zhou Andong asked: "How much face do you think the Big Four banks can give us?"

Liu Liyuan hesitated slightly: "Each bank should be able to lend us four or five million, right?"

"Even if one bank can lend us five million, the four banks added together won't be more than twenty million." Zhou Andong shook his head with a light laugh; at this time, the two had already gone up to the third floor: "We are going to build three primary schools, and there are also staff family buildings; what is this mere twenty million enough for?"

Liu Liyuan gritted her teeth, seemingly having made a big decision, and then said: "Alright, then I will go to the Overseas Trust Bank tomorrow. As long as I can talk down a part, it will be easier to talk to the Big Four banks."

"No need!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "When you go to the Overseas Trust Bank, go directly to the person in charge of the bank and say that the Factory Director of the Woolen Mill is called Zhou Andong."

Liu Liyuan was stunned, secretly muttering in her heart. If these words hadn't come from Zhou Andong's mouth, she would definitely have cursed out loud. It's fine for you to brag, but don't use me to play around. If I really said this to them, and they didn't give face, it would be your face that is lost, and I would also be embarrassed to death myself.

It's just that she didn't dare to say what she was thinking in her heart, just nodded: "I'll see the situation when the time comes."

Zhou Andong knew that this woman didn't believe his words as soon as he heard it, but he didn't remind her, just smiled. If it couldn't be talked down, he would just make a phone call when the time came.

"Factory Director, Factory Director Liu!" Dong Wenjuan, a girl from the factory office, stood at the door of Zhou Andong's office. When she saw the Factory Director had returned, she immediately walked up quickly.

Zhou Andong looked at Dong Wenjuan somewhat curiously and asked: "Why haven't you left work yet? Are you waiting for me at the office door?"

Dong Wenjuan hurriedly replied: "Factory Director, it's like this. When I got off work, Factory Director Wu Hongkang of the Red Star Winery called to find you. He wants you to go to the old place at six o'clock tonight and invites you to drink."

After Zhou Andong finished listening, he couldn't help but smile, looking at Dong Wenjuan, and continued to ask: "Just because of this matter, you have been waiting here?"

Dong Wenjuan grinned, revealing two cute tiger teeth, and then nodded forcefully: "Yes, I was afraid you wouldn't know about this when you came back late, so I waited for you here."

Zhou Andong was amused by Dong Wenjuan's silly expression and asked again: "Then if I didn't return to the factory, what would you do?"

Dong Wenjuan blinked, then scratched her head: "I would wait until six o'clock. If you hadn't returned by then, I would go home."

"I thought you would say wait until dark." Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "I don't have a secretary yet; you temporarily serve as my secretary."

"Alright!"

Dong Wenjuan hadn't reacted yet, just reflexively agreed. No matter what requirements the leader had, she would agree first. But immediately after, this girl's body seemed to have been electrocuted, trembling fiercely, and then her whole person was stunned.

She opened her eyes wide, looking at Zhou Andong in disbelief, her mouth slightly open, unconsciously saying "ah": "Factory... Factory Director, did you just say, let me serve as your secretary?"

"Temporarily!" Zhou Andong deliberately put on a straight face and said: "If you can't do it well, I will change people immediately."

Dong Wenjuan's heartbeat instantly accelerated, as if it were about to jump out of her chest. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then hurriedly said: "I will definitely be able to do it well, Factory Director!"

Her voice revealed a trace of nervousness and excitement. She really didn't expect that just because she had been working for a short time and was the youngest in the factory office, she was left behind by that bastard Han Minsheng to "work overtime," and in the end, there was such an unexpected harvest. This really lived up to that old saying: the old man lost his horse, how could he know it wasn't a blessing!

The reason Zhou Andong and Gu Bing didn't arrange a secretary was actually for many reasons. First of all, the current Woolen Mill was in a very special period, and it was very difficult to find someone completely trustworthy to serve as a secretary. Because, whether it was the Party Committee Office or the Factory Office, they must have a deep interest relationship with Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun.

If they requested to arrange a secretary, then it was almost certain that this secretary would be Shi Guoqiang or Hu Dajun's person. In this way, they wouldn't have any secrets.

And now, Zhou Andong let Dong Wenjuan serve as his secretary, which also had certain considerations. First of all, Dong Wenjuan was young, obviously having just started working not long ago, and it was unlikely she had any interest entanglements.

Secondly, it was Dong Wenjuan who went to the small canteen to find him at noon. Through this point, it could be preliminarily judged that this girl shouldn't have an interest relationship with Hu Dajun. Otherwise, it was unlikely she would be directed to run errands, and even less likely she would be left behind to "work overtime" at night.

So, Zhou Andong's impression of Dong Wenjuan was not bad, and he decided to let her serve as his secretary temporarily and observe for a few days: "See your Deputy Director Chen tomorrow, and have him come to my office."

"Alright!" Dong Wenjuan immediately entered the role of secretary, quickly answering, and then asked: "Factory Director, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow? I'll make preparations in advance."

"No arrangements!" Zhou Andong asked casually again: "Did Party Secretary Gu leave?"

Dong Wenjuan nodded: "The Party Secretary left directly after getting off work."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong pushed open the office door and said at the same time: "You go home from work quickly too."

"Factory Director!" Liu Liyuan opened her mouth and said: "Since there's nothing else, I'm leaving too."

Zhou Andong stopped his footsteps and asked: "Do you have anything to do at home now?"

Liu Liyuan shook her head: "No!"

"Since there's nothing to do, why not go with me to find Wu Hongkang, and let's sit down and drink a little!" Zhou Andong had a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go; I just feel that it's boring for Wu Hongkang and me, two big men, to drink. If there were a lady present, the atmosphere would definitely be much better."

Liu Liyuan really didn't expect that Zhou Andong would invite her to attend a private dinner party, which was really beyond her expectations. But in just a split second, she understood the deep meaning of Zhou Andong's invitation.

This was absolutely not because it was boring for two big men to drink, but a clear and explicit signal Zhou Andong was sending her, which was that he had already completely accepted her.

A smile appeared on Liu Liyuan's face, and she felt a relaxation she had never felt before: "As long as you and Factory Director Wu don't find me an eyesore, I will naturally listen to the leader."

"Then there's no problem!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You call home first, so you don't have to worry at home if you go back too late."

"Good!" Liu Liyuan agreed readily: "I'll go back to the office to get some things, and call home by the way."

At the same time, at Tianfu Building, Lei Ming and Liu Zhiguang and the others also finished drinking and were walking downstairs.

Lei Ming hugged Liu Zhiguang, who was flushed from drinking and walking somewhat unsteadily, looking like brothers: "General Manager Liu, let's find a place to relax and sober up next!"

Liu Zhiguang's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to check the time: "It's still early, let's find a place to relax later; let's find a bar to continue drinking now."

"No problem!" Lei Ming looked like he was in a very good mood, the smile on his face never decreasing: "Where do you want to go, General Manager Liu, you say."

Liu Zhiguang said with a look of yearning: "I heard that there is a bar in Houhai that is quite good, and there are stars singing there every night. Let's go there."

When Lei Ming heard this, he hesitated. Although Liu Zhiguang didn't directly say the name of the bar, a bar with stars singing every night, there was no need to ask; it was definitely the first bar.

"What?" Liu Zhiguang didn't hear an answer and asked somewhat dissatisfied: "General Manager Lei, is there any problem?"

"No problem!"

Lei Ming waved his hand. He hesitated because he was afraid that Chang Shengli, that idiot, would take action against the first bar tonight. He really didn't want to be suddenly disturbed by that idiot Chang Shengli while he was drinking.

More importantly, if that idiot made trouble at the first bar, and he was at the scene, he would likely be involved. However, he thought again, tonight was Jia Dai's farewell banquet; even if Chang Shengli wanted to retaliate, he shouldn't take action tonight.

Just when Lei Ming and Liu Zhiguang went downstairs, the young man and woman sitting at the entrance also paid the bill, and followed behind Lei Ming and Liu Zhiguang, going out of Tianfu Building together.

At the same time Lei Ming and Liu Zhiguang got into the car, the young man also rode a motorcycle parked at the entrance, and the young woman grabbed the young man's shoulder, stepped on the foot pedal beside the motorcycle, and raised her long legs to straddle the back seat of the motorcycle.

Immediately after, Lei Ming's Duke and Liu Zhiguang's Crown slowly drove onto the road, and the young man rode the motorcycle, following far behind.
