Chapter 2365

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face, and at the same time, a low chuckle came from deep in his throat. The sound was very soft, but it was full of contempt and mockery.

"That old thing Yin Zongquan, if he hasn't developed Alzheimer's, it's absolutely impossible for him to take the field personally. With his status and position, if he takes the field personally, it means there is no room for maneuver left.

By that time, it's either win or lose; there is no second choice. But if he doesn't move and sits firmly on the fishing platform, even if he loses the Woolen Mill, he can change direction at any time and won't let himself fall into a passive position."

Zhou Andong finally finished eating the ice cream and casually tossed the stick into the trash can: "So, until the moment of life and death, how could he possibly take the field personally?"

Gu Bing frowned and said: "Does this have anything to do with you suppressing that evidence?"

"It has everything to do with it!" Zhou Andong had a brilliant smile on his face and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you think the city government is an iron plate?"

Gu Bing looked at the brilliant smile on Zhou Andong's face and felt that this smile was very sinister no matter how he looked at it: "You mean that old thing Yin Zongquan won't come, but a certain leader in the city will definitely come over."

"That's right!" Zhou Andong reached into Gu Bing's pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and lit it: "If the city government were an iron plate, the reform of the Woolen Mill should have started two years ago. Why would it be dragged until now, and finally, they invited us over?"

"So what?" Gu Bing snatched the cigarette back: "What does this have to do with you suppressing that evidence?"

"I'm asking you!" Zhou Andong tilted his head and looked at Gu Bing: "If they want to cause trouble, will the leader come down secretly?"

"Of course not!" Gu Bing said very definitely: "Since they want to cause trouble, naturally they have to make a big scene."

Zhou Andong took a drag of the cigarette and said softly: "Since they want to make a big scene, naturally they will bring reporters. In this way, the shit basin will be buckled on our heads. Even if the Central Committee takes the shit basin off for us, the shit on our bodies will be hard to wash clean. The final result can only be that we are transferred away."

Gu Bing rolled his eyes, then smiled very wisely: "I know what you are going to do."

Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing, Gu Bing also looked at Zhou Andong, the two looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.

After a while, Gu Bing asked: "Do you know who will come down from the city?"

"I don't know!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "But no matter who comes down, since he doesn't want me to have a good time, then I will disgust him to death."

Gu Bing laughed 'hehehe': "Now, I truly hope that old thing Yin Zongquan comes down. By then, he won't be able to buckle the shit basin on us, and conversely, we will be able to feed him a mouthful of shit to eat. That feeling should be very refreshing, right?"

"Pa pa pa..."

The office door was knocked. Zhou Andong turned around and sat down behind the desk: "Come in!"

Dong Wenjuan, the new factory director's secretary, pushed the door and walked in: "Factory Director, Factory Director Chu Hongjun of the First Branch Factory and Factory Director Chen Min of the Second Branch Factory are here to report their work to you."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Let them in."

"I'm going back, maybe someone will report work to me too." Gu Bing said with a smile and walked out.

Immediately after, Chu Hongjun entered the office. Zhou Andong picked up the cigarettes on the desk, got up and walked out from behind the desk, and said very enthusiastically: "Comrade Hongjun is here, sit down quickly!"

Dong Wenjuan first poured a cup of tea for Chu Hongjun, then refilled Zhou Andong's teacup, and then silently retreated.

Chu Hongjun sat on the sofa somewhat cautiously and took the cigarette handed over by Zhou Andong: "Factory Director, I came to report work to you yesterday, but you suddenly held a meeting, so I could only come today."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhou Andong said in a very gentle tone: "As long as you are here, I am happy!"

At the same time that Chu Hongjun was reporting work to Zhou Andong, in the general manager's office of Daguang Group, Wu Xiangqun was slumped in his chair listlessly, like a deflated ball.

His brows were tightly furrowed, he kept sighing, and he was holding a cigarette that was about to burn out. Smoke curled, and the whole room was shrouded in his worries.

Former General Manager Dong Yujun was placed under 'two regulations'. Originally, everyone thought that Party Committee Secretary Wei Hongwen would be the biggest winner of this power struggle. However, the development of the matter completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Due to Dong Yujun's wrong operation, the group suffered a loss of up to 40 million, and the project was not saved. This result made Wei Hongwen furious, so angry that he had a sudden heart attack. Although after the doctor's all-out rescue, Wei Hongwen's old life was saved, whether he can return to Daguang Group is still an unknown.

Under these circumstances, the superior leaders had to take emergency measures and transferred Wu Xiangqun to Daguang Group to serve as general manager. For Wu Xiangqun, this was undoubtedly an order given in a crisis. However, Daguang Group is now a mess; whoever takes over gets a headache.

Suddenly, Wu Xiangqun's arm shook violently, and the cigarette butt that had burned out was thrown to the ground by him. Then he raised his arm, looked at the finger burned by the cigarette butt, and sighed long again.

The group lost 40 million, which had nothing to do with him. The project was lost, just find another one. When he received the appointment, he was also excited and didn't sleep well for a night, and when he took office, he was also full of confidence, but reality gave him a big slap in the face.

Because Jingqi and Daguang colluded, they not only offended Chaoyang District but even the city government didn't like them. No matter what engineering project it was, they were all excluded, the reason being lack of credit. Even if Daguang wanted to develop projects independently, the city government wouldn't approve land for him.

However, Daguang is a bit better; there were still some projects in hand, and it could survive for a year or a half. But when the projects in hand are finished, if they still can't ease the relationship with the city government, they can only wait to die.

The most miserable is Jingqi. It has no development capability itself, but relying on development qualifications, it lived quite comfortably by collecting some affiliation fees. Originally, there were two affiliated projects in hand, but after the private sale of the Yuxi Real Estate affiliation project, the bosses of those two affiliated companies were almost scared to death.

Their projects were not big, but their entire net worth was pressed on them. They didn't have such a powerful background and backing as Yuxi Real Estate. If Jingqi really sold the project, they wouldn't even be able to cry, they could only find a high building and jump down.

Half of Jingqi's management was taken away for investigation. After the new management took office, those two affiliated companies rushed to Jingqi. They would rather pay liquidated damages, would rather stop work on projects under construction, and find new affiliated companies, just to terminate the affiliation relationship. If Jingqi were not an enterprise under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it wouldn't be able to hold on at all and would be finished directly.

"Sigh!"

Wu Xiangqun sighed again. If he couldn't get projects as soon as possible, the chair under his butt wouldn't sit long either. But the relationship between the group and the city government was so stiff, wanting to get projects was simply a pipe dream.

"Dog-day Dong Yujun!" Wu Xiangqun couldn't help but scold, then picked up the cigarette case, lit another cigarette, and took a fierce drag.

"Pa pa pa..."

The office door was knocked. Wu Xiangqun sat up straight. No matter how upset he was, he couldn't let his subordinates see.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open gently, and Mao Hongfang walked in with a face full of smiles: "General Manager Wei, I have good news to report to you."

This guy was Dong Yujun's confidant at first. When Dong Yujun was about to finish, he betrayed his master without hesitation and defected to Wei Hongwen.

Now Wei Hongwen is very likely not to come back. Even if he can come back, it is impossible to control the group. He defected to Wu Xiangqun without hesitation again, becoming a veritable 'three-surname slave'.

Wu Xiangqun frowned. He didn't have a good impression of Mao Hongfang, but he had to admit that this guy was smooth in his dealings. With such a person around, he really saved a lot of worry.

"What is it?"

Mao Hongfang closed the door gently, and the smile on his face didn't disappear: "The Woolen Mill's primary school, junior high school, and technical secondary school are going to build teaching buildings, and they also want to build staff dormitories."

Hearing this news, Wu Xiangqun was not very happy: "Regardless of whether this news is true or false, don't you know that the factory director of the Woolen Mill is now Zhou Andong? Let alone the grudges between us, he has Yuxi Real Estate in his hands, why would he give the project to us?"

"There is something you overlooked." Mao Hongfang put away his smile: "Our SASAC Director Huang has a good relationship with Zhou Andong. He doesn't need his old man to talk to Zhou Andong personally, just make a phone call and build a bridge. With this phone call from Director Huang, Zhou Andong can't not give face, he will definitely see us."

Wu Xiangqun was a bit moved, but still had doubts: "Even if there is the director's face, Zhou Andong sees us, in the end, there definitely won't be any results."

Mao Hongfang smiled again, leaned toward Wu Xiangqun, and whispered: "Just now I went to the toilet and accidentally heard two workers chatting. One of them is Zhou Andong's childhood friend."

"What?" Wu Xiangqun stood up suddenly: "Are you sure that worker is really Zhou Andong's childhood friend?"

"I can't be 100% sure." Mao Hongfang shook his head: "But I can hear that they shouldn't be joking."

Wu Xiangqun walked back and forth twice, then said to Mao Hongfang: "Go, call this worker to my office."

"Okay!" Mao Hongfang left excitedly. If he could take down this project of the Woolen Mill, he would definitely be the first merit.

Wu Xiangqun lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. With the director building a bridge, plus the help of Zhou Andong's childhood friend, even if the Woolen Mill project couldn't be taken down, it would definitely be able to ease the relationship between the two sides. This was too important for him.

Soon, Mao Hongfang returned, followed by Feng Ermin, who had a confused face. He was just an ordinary worker, why would the boss suddenly look for him?
