Chapter 2388: Self-Directed and Self-Acted

Yin Zongquan said thoughtfully: "The negative public opinion against Zhou Andong came too suddenly. I suspect this is a play self-directed and self-acted by Zhou Andong. Hongwen, you immediately start an investigation to see if the black hand behind this is Zhou Andong himself."

Qu Hongwen was stunned: "Dad, you mean Zhou Andong found people to scold himself?"

"Is there something wrong with Zhou Andong's brain?" Yin Meilan looked at Yin Zongquan suspiciously: "Why would he find people to scold himself, letting himself fall into negative public opinion? The blow to his reputation is not small."

Yin Zongquan sighed: "It's precisely because I can't guess the reason for him doing this that we must investigate clearly, otherwise we will be too passive."

"Okay!" Qu Hongwen said: "I will arrange for people to investigate after I go back."

Yin Zongquan waved his hand somewhat powerlessly: "You all go back."

Yin Meilan wanted to say something but was pulled away by her husband, Wang Jiantao.

Out of the study, Yin Meilan shook off Wang Jiantao's hand and said unhappily: "Why did you pull me?"

Wang Jiantao said helplessly: "Now we are blind and deaf. No matter how much you say to the old man, it's useless and will only make him angry. Moreover, the situation hasn't reached an unmanageable point; it's better to wait until the investigation results from your brother-in-law's side come out."

Yin Mingyu was the last to come out of the study. When he gently closed the door, a trace of a sinister smile appeared on his face, but it disappeared in an instant.

Yin Mingyu left the old man's residence, drove to find a telephone booth on the side of the road, inserted a coin, and dialed a string of numbers. Soon, a hoarse voice came through the receiver.

"Who is this!"

"Old Eight, it's me!" Yin Mingyu said in a low voice: "How is the investigation into the matter I entrusted to you going?"

Old Eight said: "The negative public opinion against Zhou Andong is the work of Liu Lijuan, the Deputy Factory Director of the woolen mill. She spent money to find people in major print media to scold Zhou Andong."

"What?" Yin Mingyu said somewhat disbelievingly: "Hasn't Liu Lijuan already defected to Zhou Andong? How could she... wait..."

Yin Mingyu suddenly remembered the old man's words: "Could it be that all of this is really self-directed and self-acted by Zhou Andong?"

"Heh!" Old Eight let out a light laugh: "Mingyu, you also thought of this layer?"

Yin Mingyu's eyes twitched: "Old Eight, you mean..."

"Yes!" The hoarse voice raised slightly: "Behind this, it is highly probable that it is self-directed and self-acted by Zhou Andong."

Yin Mingyu didn't expect that Old Eight and the old man had the same idea: "Old Eight, if this is really self-directed and self-acted by Zhou Andong, then what is his purpose in doing this?"

Old Eight was silent for a good while before saying: "I can't figure it out either, but I know his target must be the Yin family."

Yin Mingyu took a deep breath: "Let's clean up our tracks and handle it cleanly."

Old Eight asked somewhat puzzled: "Although I can't guess Zhou Andong's purpose, we can completely add fuel to the fire and let this Zhou Andong matter burn even more vigorously."

"No!" Yin Mingyu said in a deep voice: "The old man has already asked Qu Hongwen to investigate."

"Understood!" Old Eight said: "I will handle it right away."

"Hmm!" Yin Mingyu hummed: "Still no news about my sister?"

Old Eight was silent again for a moment: "Regarding this matter, besides the old man, Yin Mingsheng should know. Why don't you go ask him?"

Yin Mingyu sneered: "I asked, but he said he didn't know."

Old Eight said helplessly: "After all, the matter has passed more than thirty years, and it is not easy to investigate, but I will try my best."

"Okay!" A trace of a painful expression appeared on Yin Mingyu's face: "Old Eight, in this world, besides you, there is no one else I trust."

"I know!" Old Eight's hoarse voice became somewhat low: "Don't worry, as long as the person is still alive, she can definitely be found."

"Then that's it!"

Yin Mingyu hung up the phone, then leaned against the telephone booth and lit a cigarette. He took a hard drag, then looked up at the blue sky, and a hospital room appeared in his mind.

A pale, thin woman tightly grabbed his hand and said weakly: "Mingyu, promise me, you must find your sister."

"Mom!" A tear slid down the corner of Yin Mingyu's eye. He put the cigarette to his mouth with slightly trembling hands: "Your spirit in heaven, you must bless me to find my sister."

……………………

At the same time, at the symposium venue!

Zhou Andong entered the venue. Because the meeting was starting in ten minutes, everyone who should be there was there, except for the leaders. The venue for several hundred people was full.

As soon as Zhou Andong entered, he attracted everyone's attention. The first to greet him was Kong Limin: "Factory Director Zhou, your seat is in the front."

Immediately after, Wang Maoqun of Haier walked over from the front, stretched out his hand from afar, and said very politely: "Chairman Zhou, I have long wanted to meet you, but I haven't found an opportunity."

"Meeting you here today can be considered fulfilling a wish of mine. I don't know if you have time tonight; let's find a place, sit down, have a drink, and chat?"

Zhou Andong couldn't help but complain in his heart. This is China's drinking table culture; no matter what you do, most of the time you can't leave the drinking table, and he, Zhou Andong, naturally couldn't be an exception.

"President Wang, tonight I have an appointment with President Liu of Hope and Director Cao of the Township Enterprise Bureau. If you don't mind, we can find a place and have a drink together."

"No problem!" Wang Maoqun was very happy. The symposium had a high standard. Aside from leaders and expert professors, everyone who came was a boss or CEO of a famous enterprise, and his main goal was Zhou Andong.

The meeting was about to start. Many people wanted to get to know Zhou Andong, but because of time constraints, they could only think about talking after the meeting.

Zhou Andong's seat was in the very front, and in the very middle. To his left was Liu Xiangchun of Hope, and to his right was a foreigner. He couldn't tell his age, but there was gray hair at his temples, so he shouldn't be young.

Seeing Zhou Andong arrive, this foreigner suddenly stood up, looked at Zhou Andong with a condescending posture, then smiled arrogantly, and said in broken Chinese.

"Hello, I am Albert Hebrew, President of Coca-Cola Asia Pacific."

Zhou Andong looked at the foreigner's condescending posture and arrogant expression, feeling a sense of disgust in his heart. But the visitor is a guest, and this was such an important occasion, so he had to show the proper quality.

After all, our vast China is a land of etiquette; there is no need to be serious with these white-skinned pirate descendants who have no culture and no quality. Moreover, this guy is the Asia Pacific President; it was no surprise to see him have this performance.

"Hello, I am Zhou Andong, Chairman of Yugong Group."

Albert smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou, I noticed the news that Very Coke is investigating in India. Very coincidentally, we at Coca-Cola have also decided to return to the Indian market."

At this point, Albert paused and emphasized his tone: "Because of the incompetence of the Greater China President, Coca-Cola lost to Very Coke. Next, we will compete in the Asia Pacific region."

Zhou Andong's eyes lit up, the impatience in his heart vanished in an instant, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. He said very arrogantly: "Mr. Albert, since I can step on Coca-Cola here, I can also beat Coca-Cola until it loses its teeth in India."

Albert was angry: "Mr. Zhou, you are too arrogant. Coca-Cola will definitely drive Very Coke out of the Asia Pacific region."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly: "Very Coke's investigation in India has entered the second stage. As long as Very Coke enters the market faster than Coca-Cola, it can occupy the market as soon as possible and remain invincible."

As he spoke, Zhou Andong patted his head and sneered. That expression did not hide his disdain and contempt for Albert: "I forgot, Chinese culture is broad and profound. You foreigner simply don't understand what 'invincible' means." ===== CHAPTER 2389 =====
