Chapter 2402: Underestimating Liu Zhiguan

After chatting with Fang Hongbin for nearly half an hour, Zhou Andong hung up the phone. Then he smiled and shook his head, saying with great emotion: "I really underestimated Liu Zhiguan!"

Gu Bing, who was on the side, only heard a rough idea and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Liu Zhiguan? Tell me quickly! ~"

Zhou Andong explained the situation Fang Hongbin had investigated: "Liu Zhiguan actually had contact with Wen Sancao. It seems there is a high possibility that he is going to smuggle woolen coats to Russia!"

"I really didn't see it; that guy actually has the potential of an overlord!" Gu Bing exclaimed, and then added with some schadenfreude: "You'd better be careful. The Russian Mafia is world-famous.

Since Liu Zhiguan can open up a smuggling channel to Russia, it shows that his ability is definitely not as bad as we understood. I estimate that besides the Russian military, he must also have dealings with the Russian Mafia.

Because even if he can safely send the goods into Russia, if he hasn't cleared relations with the local government and the underworld, both he and his goods would be eaten up without even a bone left.

So you have to be careful; he has always wanted to drink your blood, peel your skin, and grind your bones to dust. If he brings a few Mafia members over, your little life will be in danger!"

"Do you think the Mafia has shit in their heads instead of brains?" Zhou Andong sneered with full disdain, then picked up a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag. As the smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth and rose, it formed a thin screen of smoke in front of him, making his face look somewhat blurred.

"If I went to Russia, I really might be shot dead."

Zhou Andong said indifferently, leaning back comfortably in his chair, his legs casually resting on the desk: "But they absolutely don't have the guts to come to the country to cause trouble. Not to mention that the person they want to kill is a businessman with a bit of international influence."

Zhou Andong shook his somewhat sore neck, took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth, and continued: "Not to mention that if something happened to me, how furious the country would be, just the wealth I possess would make them shrink back."

After finishing, Zhou Andong put his legs down from the table, leaned forward slightly, reached out to move the ashtray in front of him, and flicked the ash.

"As long as I prepare tens of millions of dollars, whether I'm dead or not, once a bounty is issued, I can have the Russian Mafia members who moved against me hunted down by mercenaries all over the world."

Zhou Andong looked up at Gu Bing, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Although the Mafia are all desperadoes, they are different from those ordinary robbers and kidnappers.

They have their own territory and business, which are the foundation of their survival. Therefore, they will absolutely not easily move against a businessman with global influence."

Zhou Andong stood up, stretched his body, and then stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. The smoke drifted from his mouth, slowly permeating the air, forming a faint cloud of mist.

"Because such a businessman not only has great influence in politics, but his own wealth is also extremely terrifying."

Zhou Andong's voice was somewhat ethereal, as illusory as the smoke he exhaled, but Gu Bing could hear it clearly.

"Let's put it this way: when money reaches a certain amount, the power it generates is much greater and much more terrifying than a missile!"

Gu Bing pouted and said: "You, Zhou Andong, are awesome, okay!"

"I am awesome because I was born in an awesome country." Zhou Andong's tone had a pride that was hard to understand: "Old Gu, you might not have realized how great our country is."

"Fart!" Gu Bing cursed: "Of course I know how great our country is."

"You don't know!" Zhou Andong shook his head slightly: "Wait twenty years, and think about my words today; only then will you truly understand."

Gu Bing didn't continue this topic because he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't out-talk Zhou Andong with his eloquence. Thus, he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"What are we doing next?"

Zhou Andong put the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and then said somewhat nonchalantly: "What we need to do next is wait."

"Wait?" Gu Bing was stunned and asked uncomprehendingly: "Wait for what?"

Zhou Andong put down the teacup, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of imperceptible danger: "Wait for the approval to build the school building and the heavy rain; whichever comes first."

Gu Bing was completely confused, not understanding what Zhou Andong's words meant at all, and asked suspiciously: "What does this mean?"

Zhou Andong grinned and laughed silently: "If you don't understand, just watch slowly!"

Gu Bing rolled his eyes at Zhou Andong, then stood up and said unhappily: "Fine, I'll go wait too. Waiting for them to come and bribe me, to corrupt me!"

At noon, Zhou Andong didn't go to the cafeteria to eat but had the cafeteria send the meal to his office.

Near the end of the workday in the evening, Liu Lijuan came: "Factory Director, I went to the school and the faculty dormitory area again to look around and held a short meeting with the three principals. If Shi Guoqiang really suppressed the application for building the teaching building and faculty dormitory, are we really going to organize people to make a scene?"

"No rush!" Zhou Andong leaned against the large chair back, tapping his fingers on the armrest: "Just now Secretary Gu asked me what to do next, and I told him to wait a bit!"

"Wait a bit?" Liu Lijuan pondered slightly and immediately understood: "Waiting for the heavy rain, are we really going to..."

Zhou Andong laughed, slowly stood up, and walked slowly to the bookshelf. In the few days he had been in this office, he really hadn't looked at this bookshelf carefully, let alone taken down a book to read.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered something very interesting. At a glance, the whole bookshelf was full of new books without a trace of being read. But if you looked closely, you would find several old books mixed among these new books.

Zhou Andong pulled out an old book curiously, and when he saw the title, he was stunned, then laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect our Factory Director Hu to have this hobby. Looking at the cover, it's almost worn out; it seems he hasn't read and studied it little!"

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Liu Lijuan looked curiously at the book in Zhou Andong's hand, but she was nearsighted, and even though she wore glasses, because the distance was a bit far, she couldn't see what was written on it.

Zhou Andong looked at Liu Lijuan, and seeing her curious look, he threw the book over.

Liu Lijuan hurriedly reached out to catch it, then looked down and saw the title "Strange Hero Shaking the Jianghu" on the cover, written by Mr. Wolong.

"Martial arts novel!" Liu Lijuan looked strangely at Zhou Andong: "Is there a problem with this?"

Zhou Andong pulled out another old book from the new books: "Open it and look at the content!"

Liu Lijuan opened the book without knowing why, a very classic martial arts novel opening: "This is nothing either!"

Zhou Andong laughed: "Have some patience, keep reading!"

Liu Lijuan lowered her head and continued flipping through it. Suddenly, her hand flipping the pages stopped, and a layer of faint red glow actually appeared on her face. Immediately after, with a "pa" sound, she closed the book and threw it on the coffee table.

Liu Lijuan, a woman in her early forties, if she were at home or facing someone else, let alone seeing a dirty book, even seeing a small notebook's action movie wouldn't make her blush. But she was in the Factory Director's office at this time, and it was because she was curious that the Factory Director showed it to her; how could she not be embarrassed?

Zhou Andong couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "Factory Director Liu, is the book quite exciting?"

Liu Lijuan smiled very embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Hu Dajun to like reading martial arts novels."

Zhou Andong put the book back in its original place, with a smile still hanging on his face: "Men, I still understand relatively well."

Liu Lijuan hurriedly brought back the previous topic: "Factory Director, what do you need me to do?"

Zhou Andong turned and walked back behind the desk, sat down slowly, picked up the half-smoked cigarette, and lit it: "Does our factory have an art troupe?"

"Yes!" Liu Lijuan nodded: "Our Woolen Mill's art troupe has more than seventy employees, including three first-class singers, and nineteen first-class actors, including opera actors."

Zhou Andong didn't think the Woolen Mill's art troupe was so impressive, having so many first-class singers and actors: "Are the art troupe's performance tasks heavy usually?"

Liu Lijuan recalled the time when the Woolen Mill was glorious, and a look of pride appeared on her face: "When our Woolen Mill was efficient, not only did leaders often come down to inspect work, but many foreign leaders also came to visit, so the art troupe's performance tasks were quite heavy at that time.

It's just that in the past two years, efficiency has declined severely. Leaders rarely come to inspect the Woolen Mill, and they no longer arrange for foreign guests to visit, so the art troupe's performance tasks are not many. Moreover, their wages have also been stopped. It's just that the factory allows them to go outside to perform, so the money they earn is much more than their wages, and they live quite comfortably."

Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke: "The weather forecast says there will be rain next Tuesday. Find a reason to arrange a performance next Tuesday and invite the school faculty and their families to watch."

"Okay!" Liu Lijuan replied: "I will notify Comrade Liu Chunhua, the head of the art troupe, in a while and let him arrange it!"

"As for other things!" Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "You don't need to intervene, and don't tell the three principals; I will arrange it. Even if there is any slip-up, my shoulders are wider than yours and I can carry it."

Zhou Andong's words warmed Liu Lijuan's heart. As a subordinate, she was there to do things for the leader. If it was done well, it was the leader's credit; if it wasn't done well, you had to carry it. Therefore, she was prepared to do dirty work for the leader.

It's just that she really didn't expect that Zhou Andong, this leader, would take the dirty work upon himself. She was truly moved. She felt that choosing to stand with Zhou Andong was the most correct decision she had made since growing up. Following such a responsible and bold leader, why worry about not having a good future? ===== CHAPTER 2403 =====
