Zhou Andong returned to the office. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Feng Ermin looking around in the office like a curious child, touching this and touching that.

"What are you looking at?"

Feng Ermin turned his head. Seeing Zhou Andong back, a brilliant smile appeared on his face. Wu Xiangqun was gone, and he relaxed as well.

"I'm looking at your big boss's office. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really corrupt enough!"

Zhou Andong also laughed: "This office is the former factory director's, I just picked up a bargain." Saying that, Zhou Andong walked to the desk, picked up the cigarettes on the table, pulled one out and handed it to Feng Ermin: "How is Auntie's health? Is she quite well?"

Feng Ermin took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled the smoke: "My mother's health is quite good, just occasionally has a cold or flu, no other major illnesses. Usually, she stays at home to take care of her grandson and cook for us."

"That's good." Zhou Andong nodded: "How about Eldest Sister? She's married, right? How is she now?"

"Eldest Sister's child is already eight years old, in the second grade of primary school. Brother-in-law is a teacher at Renhe Central Primary School in Shunyi, and Eldest Sister works at the Shunyi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. A couple of days ago, she kept muttering that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was sold, making people panic. I guess she is also going to be laid off."

"She won't be laid off!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "As far as I know, as long as they pass training and assessment, both workers and leaders can continue to be employed."

Feng Ermin didn't feel surprised. With Zhou Andong's status and position, it was too normal to know some inside information.

"Participating in training is no problem, but assessment is hard to say." Feng Ermin shook his head slightly: "Who knows if it's using assessment to brush people down."

"This shouldn't be!" Zhou Andong said solemnly: "As far as I know, the one who acquired the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is the RT-Mart Department Store Company, and RT-Mart is foreign-funded. Ordinary workers are mainly trained. As long as they follow the arrangements and are not the kind who waste time, they definitely won't be brushed down.

But management is different. The main thing is the assessment of them, which will be very strict. I estimate that a large batch of people will be brushed down. And those who can stay will definitely be elite talents who can do things, know how to do things, and understand how to do things."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong looked at Feng Ermin: "Is Eldest Sister management?"

Feng Ermin curled his lips: "Salesperson!"

Zhou Andong laughed: "You don't have to worry about this. As long as she trains well, she will definitely be able to stay."

"If it's really like this, Eldest Sister can rest assured." Feng Ermin also laughed: "You don't know, for a period of time, Eldest Sister was always frowning, always thinking about what to do if she was laid off. Brother-in-law's salary isn't high, and there are old people above and young people below, wouldn't they starve?"

Zhou Andong looked at the time: "I'll call Gao Zhen, the three of us will find a place to have a drink."

Feng Ermin asked in surprise: "Is Da Zhen also in Jingcheng?"

Zhou Andong nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed Gao Zhen's office: "It's almost six o'clock, I don't know if he is in the office."

His words had just fallen, and the phone was connected. Gao Zhen's voice came from the receiver: "I am Gao Zhen, who is this!"

"I am Zhou Andong!" Zhou Andong said: "It's been a long time since we met, let's go to the first bar to have a drink."

"Good!" Gao Zhen said happily: "I'll tidy up and go over."

"Then that's it!" Zhou Andong put down the phone and said to Feng Ermin: "Let's go!"

…………………………

The incident that happened at the first bar last night was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand layers of waves. After a day of fermentation, this news spread across half of Jingcheng like it had grown wings.

The first bar has become a landmark place for Jingcheng nightlife, and its fame is so great that it can be said that no one doesn't know it. But it was such a bar that was smashed by Chang Shengli.

What is even more surprising is that Jiadai, Du Zai, and Geding, several figures with considerable influence in the Jingcheng underworld, were also arrested by the police at the first bar.

This news instantly triggered countless speculations and associations, discussing the reasons for their arrest, whether it was related to the bar being smashed, or if there were other entanglements between them. For a time, the streets and alleys of half of Jingcheng were discussing this matter, enjoying this gossip feast to their heart's content.

And tonight, the first bar was already full by just past six o'clock. Many came after hearing about last night's incident, just to satisfy their curiosity, see how the bar was smashed, and hear the narration of last night's eyewitnesses with their own ears.

Zhou Andong's car stopped in the exclusive position. The waiter at the door walked over quickly to open the car door: "Zhou Dong, hello!"

"Hello!" Zhou Andong nodded, looked inside through the window: "It's only past six, why are there so many people?"

The waiter said with a smile: "Many came for last night's incident."

Zhou Andong realized, then shook his head, and said to Feng Ermin who got off the car: "Let's go, let's go in!"

Feng Ermin followed Zhou Andong's footsteps closely and stepped into the gate of the bar together. The first thing was the visual feeling. The lights in the bar were dim, and there were several colored lights on the roof flickering, the light intertwined, creating a blurred and mysterious atmosphere. This dim light made everyone's face become blurred, as if everyone was hidden behind a thin veil.

Then it was the ears. He heard a familiar singing voice, which was 'Xiao Fang' that became popular all over the country last year.

"There is a girl in the village named Xiao Fang, she looks good and is kind, a pair of beautiful big eyes, braids thick and long..."

Zhou Andong took Feng Ermin to the empty table by the window and sat down, which was also the only empty table.

A waiter walked over, bent down slightly, leaned close to Zhou Andong and asked softly: "Zhou Dong, would you like to drink?"

"First move a box of 'Yongchuang Tianya' for me, and then serve some fruit platters and dried fruits. You can match them as you see fit." Saying that, Zhou Andong pulled 200 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the waiter: "We haven't eaten yet, you go across the street and help me roast some barbecue over."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away." The waiter took the money, then turned and walked away quickly.

Feng Ermin was coming to the bar for the first time. After sitting down, he had been looking around.

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "How is it, the environment of this bar is not bad, right?"

Feng Ermin nodded: "I always thought that bars were messy and noisy places. I didn't expect it to be like this, the sensory feeling is very good."

"Zhou Dong!" Zhou Andong was just about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout from outside the window. He turned his head to look into the courtyard, only to see a young man looking this way with a face full of smiles.

"It's really Zhou Dong!"

The young man didn't recognize Zhou Andong, just shouted tentatively, but didn't expect it to be true. But this shout of his immediately attracted the attention of several other tables in the courtyard, and then they all raised their heads to look over.

Seeing that it was really Zhou Andong, they immediately raised the wine glasses in their hands one after another. For a time, there was a sound of toasting one after another, and the scene was exceptionally lively.

"Zhou Dong, I toast you!"

"Zhou Dong, toast you!"

"Zhou Dong..."

Zhou Andong took a look. No need to think, these people are estimated to be all second-generation. Ordinary guests, even if they recognize him, wouldn't be like this.

"Thank you everyone!" Zhou Andong clasped his hands, a polite and humble smile on his face: "Wait until my wine comes, then I will toast everyone."

"No problem!"

"Good!"

"..."

An answering sound rang out in the courtyard, and Zhou Andong waved at them again.

The bonfire in the courtyard was burning, but there was no roast whole lamb mentioned last night. I guess it was too late to prepare, and there should be some tomorrow.

"Brother Dong!" Gao Zhen came, sat on the chair with a thud, and then looked at Feng Ermin: "This brother is..."

Gao Zhen's words were only half said, and then he widened his eyes, stood up suddenly, pointed at Feng Ermin, his voice trembling a bit: "You... you you... Er Nianba!"

Feng Ermin, who was originally full of smiles, turned black: "Fuck, you fat guy, it's been more than ten years, why is your mouth still so stinky?"

"Hahaha..." Gao Zhen couldn't help laughing, and then felt the occasion was wrong, so he braked quickly: "How did you and Brother Dong meet?"
