Chapter 2369

Zhou Andong turned around and poured a cup of tea for Feng Ermin and Wu Xiangqun respectively. Wu Xiangqun's gaze was fixed on the teacup in front of him, and he knew it like the back of his hand. He knew deeply that the reason why this cup of tea was placed in front of him was entirely because of Feng Ermin.

Although there was a trace of unhappiness deep in his heart, when he thought of Zhou Andong's enthusiasm for his childhood friend Feng Ermin, that trace of unhappiness vanished instantly, replaced by joy and celebration.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette, handed one to Feng Ermin first, and then turned to Wu Xiangqun, handing the cigarette to him. From this small action, it could be seen who was the more important guest in Zhou Andong's heart. But Wu Xiangqun was not angry because of this, but instead, his mood became even better.

And this guy also took out a lighter, lit the cigarette for Zhou Andong first, and then turned to Feng Ermin, preparing to light it for him. This action made Comrade Ermin so scared that he almost threw the cigarette on the ground, waving his hands in a panic: "Wu Zong, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"

Wu Xiangqun looked at Feng Ermin with a face full of smiles, and didn't force it, but very naturally stuffed the lighter into Feng Ermin's hand, and winked at him at the same time.

"This is Factory Director Zhou's office, not in the Group." Wu Xiangqun said with a smile: "And you are childhood friends with Factory Director Zhou, so there is no superior-subordinate relationship between us here, we are just friends."

Feng Ermin lowered his head to light the cigarette, sighing in his heart. On the way here, Wu Xiangqun told him more than once that as long as there was a suitable opportunity, he must mention the Woolen Mill teaching building and staff dormitory project, because this project was very important to them.

But he knew about the dispute between Brother Dong and Daguang Group, so how could he say it? But if he didn't say it, he would definitely be cleaned up after going back, and his days in the Group wouldn't be very good in the future, which made Feng Ermin feel very tangled and helpless, and also frustrated.

Zhou Andong took a drag of the cigarette, and through the curling smoke in front of him, his gaze fell on Feng Ermin. The tangled expression on this kid's face and the look of being unable to speak made the corners of Zhou Andong's mouth twitch.

At such a big age, his personality is still the same as when he was young. Whenever he encounters something, even if he is bullied, he comes to find him to complain, and the expression on his face is like constipation.

"Wu Zong!" Zhou Andong knew Feng Ermin too well, and Wu Xiangqun brought him to see him, so the purpose was self-evident: "When Director Huang called me, he mentioned the matter of the Woolen Mill building teaching buildings and staff dormitories. Now, you brought my childhood friend over again, so just say it straight."

Zhou Andong spoke, one is not wanting to talk nonsense with Wu Xiangqun anymore, and the other is to relieve Feng Ermin.

Wu Xiangqun was stunned. He completely didn't expect that when reuniting with his childhood friend whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, Zhou Andong didn't reminisce as he thought, but suddenly changed his target, suddenly threw the topic to him, and disrupted his previous plan instantly.

Originally, Wu Xiangqun intended to let Feng Ermin open his mouth first to break the deadlock and mention the construction of teaching buildings and staff dormitories. Then, he could logically take over the topic. In this way, it wouldn't cause Zhou Andong's disgust, and perhaps he could take advantage of this childhood friend relationship to successfully take down this project.

However, reality went against his assumptions. Zhou Andong didn't hide it and brought the words to the table, which made Wu Xiangqun have no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

"Factory Director Zhou, I came to visit you this time, indeed for the teaching building and staff dormitory project. I know that you have Yuxi Real Estate in your hands, so this project naturally cannot be handed over to other companies.

It's just that, due to the mistakes made by that idiot Dong Yujun, Daguang has now fallen into a predicament. So, I had to request Director Huang to call you, just to see you smoothly.

One is to apologize to you for the mistakes made by that idiot Dong Yujun. The second is to earnestly request you to raise your hand high and give Daguang a chance. Because Daguang still has thousands of workers, which is the rice bowl of thousands of families."

Saying, saying, Wu Xiangqun's voice gradually became low, even a bit choked, and his eyes gradually became moist, as if a burst of uncontrollable emotion was surging in his heart.

Wu Xiangqun sighed repeatedly, seeming to want to release all the helplessness and pain in his heart through these sighs: "Factory Director Zhou, I am definitely not morally kidnapping you!"

Wu Xiangqun's tone revealed a trace of earnestness: "To tell you the truth, if I were you, even if I could say a flower out of the words, I would absolutely not give Daguang a chance."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiangqun took a deep breath: "It's just that, I have no other way. Because of that idiot Dong Yujun, he not only offended you but also offended the city government. Now our company's situation is very difficult, and we can't get any projects..."

Wu Xiangqun knew very well in his heart that with Zhou Andong's status and position, if he wanted to understand Daguang's current situation, just one phone call, all the information would be placed in front of him. So, he didn't need to lie to Zhou Andong. On the contrary, if he was honest and showed sincerity, maybe he could move Zhou Andong.

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed, then looked at Feng Ermin: "Ermin, how many years has it been since we met?"

Feng Ermin was stunned and said hurriedly: "Thirteen years!"

Zhou Andong nodded and looked at Wu Xiangqun: "Wu Zong, the Woolen Mill's primary school, junior high school, and technical secondary school, I want to build a modern school, keeping pace with international standards, with a budget of about 160 million. Of course, this includes software and hardware facilities. Plus the staff family building, the total investment is about 200 million.

However, you should also know a little about the situation of the Woolen Mill. It is unrealistic to take out 200 million at once. So, Yuxi Real Estate must advance funds first. After the project is completed, pay 10%. The remaining 90% will be settled in stages within five years."

Wu Xiangqun was dumbfounded. He had thought of all possibilities, but he didn't think it would be such a result. Yuxi Real Estate was actually advancing funds first.

If someone else said this, he definitely wouldn't believe it, but Zhou Andong said it, and the credibility was still very high.

Because many people know that Zhou Andong attaches importance to education. Another thing is that Yuxi Real Estate has money, and 200 million is really not much.

Zhou Andong looked at Wu Xiangqun with a smile that wasn't a smile: "I will definitely give Ermin face, and I can also give you Daguang a chance, but you Daguang can't hold this project."

Wu Xiangqun didn't speak, his brain was running rapidly. Advancing funds is no problem, Zhou Andong's reputation can be guaranteed, not to mention there is Director Huang, he doesn't worry about Zhou Andong defaulting on the debt. It's just that 200 million in funds, Daguang can take it out, but it's also very strenuous. The important thing is, the account is emptied, how does the Group operate?

"Factory Director Zhou, give me two days to hold a meeting and study it."

Zhou Andong looked at Wu Xiangqun with a face full of astonishment: "Wu Zong, the total investment is 200 million, need to advance funds, and it is settled in stages within five years. Did you really hear what I said?"

Looking at the stunned expression on Zhou Andong's face, Wu Xiangqun was very happy in his heart. I guess this guy thought he could scare him away like this. In this way, not only did he give enough face to his childhood friend, but he could also give an explanation to Director Huang. Zhou Andong is worthy of being Zhou Andong, he really played a good abacus.

"I heard it clearly!" Wu Xiangqun said with a smile: "The whole country knows that Factory Director Zhou attaches importance to education. Since the Woolen Mill can't take out money for the time being, and Yuxi Real Estate has so many projects under construction, the funds must be very tight. Then give us Daguang a chance to contribute to the cause of education."

Zhou Andong opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but the words reached his lips and were blocked by something, unable to make a sound. Then, he scratched his head subconsciously.

This kind of hesitant, helpless look was all seen by Wu Xiangqun, making this guy very happy in his heart. Zhou Andong, oh Zhou Andong, you thought you could scare me away with advancing funds? You really underestimate me, Wu Xiangqun, too much.

200 million in advanced funds will indeed bring pressure to the Group, but this is not unbearable. Moreover, this money doesn't need to be taken out all at once, the Group has a buffer time.

More importantly, as long as the Woolen Mill teaching building and staff dormitory project can be taken down, it is equivalent to releasing an important signal to the city government that Daguang Group has reconciled with Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong smacked his lips: "Wu Zong, you brought Ermin, I will definitely give his face. But he is just an ordinary worker, I handed the project to you Daguang, what is the significance?"

Wu Xiangqun pondered for a while: "This also needs to be studied in a meeting, but it's not a big problem. I guarantee that the benefits will be implemented."

Zhou Andong looked at the confused Feng Ermin, then looked at Wu Xiangqun, the expression on his face changed and changed, and finally sighed.

"Many staff dormitories have become dangerous houses, and reconstruction is imminent, so I will give you two days, and I can only give you two days, not even one more day."

"No problem!" Wu Xiangqun stood up: "Factory Director Zhou, then I will say goodbye first."

Feng Ermin stood up hurriedly. Wu Xiangqun patted his shoulder and said kindly: "Ermin, you haven't seen Factory Director Zhou for more than ten years, stay and reminisce. Besides, it's off work now, no need to go with me."

Zhou Andong pressed Feng Ermin's shoulder, then sent Wu Xiangqun out of the office, not forgetting to urge: "Wu Zong, don't forget, you only have two days."

Wu Xiangqun smiled: "Within two days, I will definitely give you an answer."

"Good!" Zhou Andong shook hands with Wu Xiangqun, watching this guy disappear at the stairwell with people, and a smile appeared on his face.

At the same time Zhou Andong returned to the office, the three principals Liu Bo, Ma Qingmin, and Yan Minru entered Liu Lijuan's office with the application for building teaching buildings and staff dormitories.

"You're here!" Liu Lijuan stood up to greet them, then poured tea for the three.

Liu Bo asked somewhat puzzled: "Factory Director, why is it so urgent?"

Liu Lijuan took the three applications, recalled Zhou Andong's words, and couldn't help saying: "Shi Guoqiang is going to suffer!"

The three principals Liu Bo, Ma Qingmin, and Yan Minru were stunned. It was Liu Bo who asked again: "What do you mean?"

Liu Lijuan smiled mysteriously: "Unspeakable, unspeakable!"
