Chapter 2368
Wu Xiangqun brought five people. Besides Feng Ermin, there were also Business Department Manager Sun Bowen and two female workers from the Business Department.
But Wu Xiangqun only brought Feng Ermin into the office. As for Sun Bowen and the two female workers, they were arranged by Dong Wenjuan to drink tea in her office.
"Wu Zong, welcome, welcome!"
As soon as Zhou Andong saw Wu Xiangqun, he stood up immediately, walked quickly to greet him, and shook hands with Wu Xiangqun tightly with a face full of smiles.
Before coming, Wu Xiangqun had actually prepared various responses in his heart. He even anticipated that he would be met with cold sarcasm or even humiliation from Zhou Andong. He thought that regardless of whether he could take down the project, as long as he could ease the relationship with Zhou Andong, that would be a victory.
After all, because of Dong Yujun's mistakes, considerable losses were caused to Yuxi Real Estate. And as the current general manager of Daguang Group, being resented was also something he couldn't argue against.
However, what Wu Xiangqun completely didn't expect was that Zhou Andong not only didn't treat him coldly but also showed unusual enthusiasm. This sudden enthusiasm caught Wu Xiangqun off guard, and even made him suspicious, making the smile on his face look exceptionally stiff and unnatural.
"Factory Director Zhou, due to the mistakes made by Dong Yujun, it has brought not small losses to Yuxi Real Estate. I have always felt deeply guilty about this. Here, I solemnly express my apologies to you."
Wu Xiangqun steadied his mind, took a deep breath, decisively apologized to Zhou Andong, and then was about to bow.
Zhou Andong grabbed his arm quickly with sharp eyes and fast hands. The smile on his face disappeared, and his tone was no longer enthusiastic: "Wu Zong, apologies are unnecessary. To be honest, the anger in my heart has never dissipated.
That is to say, Director Huang called me, so I have to give this face. If it were someone else, even if the Heavenly King stood in front of me, it wouldn't work. Don't say entering my office, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Woolen Mill."
Zhou Andong's face changed too fast, as if he had instantly gone from the hot summer to late autumn. Although it didn't have the extreme cold of winter, it was enough to make people feel cold on their skin.
Wu Xiangqun, who was originally in a low posture, saw Zhou Andong's attitude change suddenly, and immediately put his posture even lower, and the degree of bending was also greater than before, and a burst of anger was also suppressed in his heart.
After all, his rank was the same as Zhou Andong's, and he was already over forty years old, yet he still had to bend down and act small in front of this young man who was not even thirty. How could he not feel stifled?
However, in order for Daguang Company to get rid of the current predicament, and also to keep the chair under his butt, he had no choice but to bow his head in front of Zhou Andong.
At the same time, Wu Xiangqun asked about all the women in Dong Yujun's ancestral eighteen generations in his heart. If it weren't for you, Dong Yujun, being so stupid and greedy, how could Daguang Company have fallen into such a difficult predicament?
"Factory Director Zhou, I understand this in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have requested Director Huang to come forward and make this phone call to you."
Feng Ermin stood there motionless, looking at the scene before him with dull eyes, his mouth slightly open, and his heart was even more turbulent, wave after wave, unable to calm down.
He knew that his childhood friend was very awesome now, very, very awesome. But what he knew was all learned from the news. As for Zhou Andong's true strength and influence, he hadn't personally felt it.
By contrast, his understanding of the Group's boss was deeper. First, Dong Yujun, no matter who it was, as long as they made a slight mistake, regardless of the location or occasion, scolding you was light, kicking a few times, and slapping were all common occurrences.
Don't look at their section chief always being arrogant in front of them, wearing a stinky face all day, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of yuan. But once he saw Dong Yujun, he immediately became like a grandson, wishing he could run to Dong Yujun's office every day to kowtow three times and shout 'long live'.
As for Wu Xiangqun, although he hadn't been in office for long and wasn't as domineering as Dong Yujun, the prestige of being the boss was no less than that. He had just arrived at Daguang Group and quickly cleaned up several department managers so that they were obedient, and none of them dared to flutter.
But now?
Although he had limited knowledge of the dispute between Jingqi, Daguang, and Yuxi, he knew very well in his heart that the behind-the-scenes of Dong Yujun being taken away for investigation definitely couldn't be without the figure of his childhood friend.
And right now, Wu Xiangqun, the current boss, was actually so humble in front of his childhood friend, and even didn't dare to speak loudly. How could this not make him feel shocked? At the same time, he truly realized that his childhood friend had already stood at a height that he needed to look up to and found it difficult to see.
"Sit!" Zhou Andong made a gesture of invitation. The posture that should be done was done, and for this God of Wealth who sent money, he couldn't really be kept out of the door.
A look of relief finally appeared on Wu Xiangqun's face, and the originally tense smile gradually became natural, no longer as stiff as before, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Factory Director Zhou, today I came to visit you rashly, and there is a special reason, that is, I brought an old friend of yours."
Before coming, Wu Xiangqun specifically arranged for someone to take Feng Ermin to purchase a brand-new outfit: white shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, and also went to the barbershop to get a haircut. The whole person looked brand new.
When Feng Ermin walked into the office, Zhou Andong just took a glance and thought he was Wu Xiangqun's secretary, so he didn't pay much attention. At this time, hearing Wu Xiangqun's words, Zhou Andong's gaze truly fell on Feng Ermin.
Zhou Andong stared at Feng Ermin in front of him, and the memory in his mind emerged quickly. At that time, Feng Ermin was dark and thin. Although he was still so dark now, he had been running on the construction site for many years, and his body was quite strong. But no matter how he changed, he was already fourteen or fifteen years old when he left Tanghezi, and his appearance when he was young could still be seen.
"Ermin?" A look of surprise and joy suddenly bloomed on Zhou Andong's face. He opened his arms quickly and gave Feng Ermin a warm and powerful hug: "You bastard, you left Tanghezi for so many years and didn't even say you'd come back to take a look."
A hug caught Feng Ermin off guard, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. But at this moment, a warm current surged into his heart like a tide and spread throughout his body quickly. This warm current seemed to be a long-lost familiarity, making the corners of his eyes moisten slightly.
All morning today, his mind had been thinking about a question. When he saw Zhou Andong, would that guy still be able to recognize him? After all, it had been more than ten years since they last met.
In the news, he saw that Zhou Andong hadn't changed much compared to when he was young, but his own changes were quite obvious. If Zhou Andong really recognized him, would he still treat him as a brother like when they were young?
After all, people were already such big figures, while he was just an ordinary small worker. This gap in status made Feng Ermin's heart full of unease and doubt.
"Brother Dong!"
Finally, Feng Ermin took a deep breath and called out 'Brother Dong'. But after these two words were spoken, he found that he didn't know what to say next.
Zhou Andong understood the different emotions in Feng Ermin's heart and kicked this guy's butt: "Fuck, you're almost thirty years old, why are you still as pretentious as when you were young? Sit down and talk."
Feng Ermin took a kick, the indescribable emotion on his face disappeared, he grinned and laughed 'heh', and then sat on the sofa with a thud. When he was young, if he was bullied, Brother Dong would kick him like this, and then take him to take revenge.
