Chapter 2375

"Pop, pop, pop..."

A light knocking sound echoed in the office, and Zhou Andong shouted, "Come in!"

As his voice fell, the door was gently pushed open, and Liu Lijuan walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Bing sitting on the sofa, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "The Secretary is here too!"

Gu Bing nodded slightly, then stood up and said to Zhou Andong, "You two talk, I'll head back first."

"Wait a moment!" Liu Lijuan shook the document in her hand: "This is the application for building the school and the staff dormitory; it needs your signature, Secretary, and the Factory Director's."

"Sent over so quickly?" Zhou Andong took the document, opened it, glanced over it briefly, then stood up and walked behind the desk to sit down, picking up a pen to sign his name: "Secretary, you approve it too."

Gu Bing walked over, roughly read the content of the application, and signed his name with a pen: "The application is approved, but the money is still not settled."

"Don't worry about the money!" Zhou Andong leaned back in his executive chair, completely relaxed, the smile on his face very bright and impossible to hide: "Someone is rushing to provide us with advance funding; we just need to pay it back in five years."

"Someone is rushing to provide us with advance funding?"

Gu Bing widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief; it really was like a fantasy, considering the total investment was two hundred million.

"Who is this kind soul? They are simply a living Tathagata Buddha, a merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva. Tell me quickly who it is; I must set up a memorial tablet for them and kowtow and offer incense every day."

Liu Lijuan also felt this matter was too surreal and hard to believe. But she also knew that the Factory Director would absolutely not joke about this; perhaps it was really as the Secretary said, the other party was a living Buddha.

"Who this person is, you will naturally know in a couple of days. Moreover, this matter hasn't been finalized yet, so just know that such a thing exists for now; don't tell anyone else."

Zhou Andong looked at their incredulous expressions, smiled slightly, handed the application document to Liu Lijuan, and continued: "Make a trip to the Municipal State-owned Assets Office. Remember, you must personally hand this application to Shi Guoqiang. If he isn't there, then take the document back and go again in the afternoon, or tomorrow is fine too."

"Better early than late; I'll send it over now. At this time of day, he should be there." After speaking, Liu Lijuan turned and walked out like a gust of wind.

Gu Bing asked somewhat uncomprehendingly: "The factory-run school needs to build a teaching building and staff dormitory; the two of us approving it is enough, why send it to Shi Guoqiang? How could that old thing possibly approve it?"

Zhou Andong smiled: "It's best if he suppresses the application; then we'll have a good show to watch."

Just then, the knocking on the door sounded again, and Zhou Andong shouted loudly: "Come in!"

The door opened in response, and Dong Wenjuan pushed it open and walked in, saying respectfully: "Factory Director, there is a lady named Zhou Anqin who says she is your younger sister and wants to see you."

"Let her in." Zhou Andong didn't need to think to know that Zhou Anqin coming here to find him must be about the dress design they talked about last time.

"Okay!" Dong Wenjuan turned and went out, and immediately after, Zhou Anqin entered, first greeting Gu Bing: "Brother Bing!"

Gu Bing asked with a smile: "What made you think of running over here today?"

"Didn't my brother ask me to help him design a few styles of clothing? I've gathered all the people." Zhou Anqin said, but her eyes were like a scanner, scanning the office back and forth: "Brother, isn't the decoration of your office a bit too 'nouveau riche'?"

Gu Bing laughed out loud: "Hasn't your brother always had the face of a nouveau riche?"

"Go do whatever you need to do." Zhou Andong glared at Gu Bing unhappily, then looked at Zhou Anqin: "Did those senior sisters of yours not go home for the holidays?"

"No!" Zhou Anqin shook her head: "The teacher arranged some work for them, which they just finished. Originally, I wanted to come over yesterday, but Liu Ran came to the school to find me."

Hearing the name Liu Ran, Zhou Andong's face immediately darkened, and he said somewhat disbelievingly: "Did he really get into a school in the capital?"

"Mm!" Zhou Anqin nodded, secretly looking at her eldest brother's expression: "Capital Police Academy, they sent me the admission notice."

Zhou Andong fell silent, picked up the cigarettes on the table, and lit one. The smoke swirled in front of him, blurring his face. After a while, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Zhou Anqin, and said earnestly.

"As for your romantic matters, brother won't interfere. But you must be clear-headed yourself; don't lose your mind because of so-called love, and end up paying with all your love only to receive hurt in return."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm clearer-headed than anyone." The expression on Zhou Anqin's face was also very serious: "Perhaps Liu Ran isn't my best match, but I believe in my own eyes and feelings. Besides you and Mom and Dad, he is absolutely the one who loves me the most."

Zhou Andong sighed; as an older brother, the thing he could do was pave the way for his sister, but he really couldn't interfere too much in matters of the heart.

Of course, Liu Ran getting into the Capital Police Academy because of a single word from him showed that the kid still had quite a bit of perseverance and truly liked Zhou Anqin, which was also the main reason he wasn't interfering.

"Alright then!" Zhou Andong shook his head slightly: "As long as you like it yourself."

"You two siblings chat, I'm leaving!" Gu Bing stood up and walked out of the office.

Zhou Andong walked to the sofa: "Sit down and talk!"

Seeing that Zhou Andong didn't object, the heart Zhou Anqin had been holding up dropped into her stomach. She sat down next to Zhou Andong with a giggle and hugged her eldest brother's arm: "My brother is the best brother in the world."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at her: "Did that kid leave?"

"He left!" Zhou Anqin said: "Originally I wanted to come find you yesterday, but he went to my school and was definitely seen by that person named Wen Simao. I was afraid something would happen to him, so I personally sent him to the Jinwan Hotel and then accompanied him to walk around the neighborhood.

This morning I went over again, sent him to the train station, and watched him get on the train. However, there was one more tailing car; Brother Huang circled many times before shaking them off."

"How about this!" Zhou Andong pondered for a moment and said: "Come home to live, and have those senior sisters of yours come over too. Your study is big enough to temporarily serve as your office space. This way, after I get off work in the evening, I can still give you some advice."

"I'll ask them." Zhou Anqin nodded and said: "The problem shouldn't be big; it's better than working in the dormitory, where there isn't even a fan, it's hot enough to choke."

Zhou Andong stood up, found paper and a pen, and placed them on the coffee table: "I'll talk about my ideas, and you draw."
