Chapter 2469

Beijing seemed to have entered the night early, and the entire city was shrouded in dark clouds. Those rolling black clouds seemed to be touchable, pressing tightly on people's heads, bringing a sense of suffocation that made it impossible to breathe.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt tore through the sky, like a sharp sword splitting the curtain of darkness, instantly lighting up the entire world. Immediately after, a deafening roll of thunder sounded.

Zhou Andong clearly felt the floor under his feet shake, the windows also made a clattering sound, and the lights overhead flickered a few times.

Gu Bing, Liu Lijuan, and Dai Weimin, who were originally chatting leisurely on the sofa, were startled by this sudden change and shivered, looking up at the window in unison.

Just at this moment, bean-sized raindrops poured down like a basin, hitting the windows heavily, making a pitter-patter sound. The rain that had been stifled for several days finally poured out.

Zhou Andong stood quietly by the window, his palm pressed against the glass, feeling the vibration of the raindrops hitting the window, and revealed a smile: "Damn it, finally waited for this rain."

Liu Lijuan let out a long breath, as if she had just come back to her senses from the deafening thunder, her gaze also cast toward the window, and she said in a somewhat low voice: "This rain came a bit early. If it had started tomorrow morning, then... everything would be perfect."

"Although there is a slight flaw." Zhou Andong's voice was very light, but the office was very quiet, and Liu Lijuan and the others could still hear it clearly: "But as long as this rain has come, it won't affect the overall situation."

"Ding-ling..."

Just at this moment, the crisp ringing of the telephone suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility in the office.

Zhou Andong slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the ringing phone, and then he reached out and picked up the phone unhurriedly. Before he could speak, Wu Hongkang's voice came from the receiver: "Old Zhou, it's raining so hard outside, and there's nothing to do, want to come out for a drink?"

Zhou Andong turned around again, looking at the pouring rain outside, the smile on his face becoming brighter and brighter: "Listening to your tone, your mood seems very good. It seems everything has been solved."

Wu Hongkang's happy laughter came over: "The handover is complete, I am now a free man!"

Zhou Andong asked curiously: "What about that Jiang Jingming? Did he go back to work?"

"No!" Jiang Jingming had already become Wu Hongkang's defeated opponent, so now when mentioning that guy, Wu Hongkang had no emotional changes: "He has already handled the suspension of pay and retention of position. It is said that he found a few financiers and intends to start a winery."

Hearing this, Zhou Andong laughed. Next year, the brand war in the white liquor industry is about to break out, and this war can be described as unprecedentedly tragic. Entering the white liquor market at this time, if there is no strong capital support behind it, whoever enters will die."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong agreed: "Five o'clock, see you at the first bar."

"That's it then." Wu Hongkang said with a smile: "Old Zhang and I will wait for you."

Zhou Andong raised his eyebrows, just about to ask when Zhang Shenghui arrived in the capital, but Wu Hongkang hung up the phone.

"Du-du-du..."

Listening to the busy signal in the receiver, Zhou Andong put down the phone helplessly. However, Zhang Shenghui running to the capital at this time, it is estimated that his shares in 'Yongchuang Tianya' have also been handled.

Zhou Andong looked up at the time, it was almost four o'clock, and there was nothing to do in the factory, so he stood up: "Let's go, someone is treating today, let's go for a drink together."

Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin were not polite either, stood up and followed Zhou Andong out. As for Gu Bing, needless to say, as long as there was nothing to do, he had become Zhou Andong's tail. Wherever Zhou Andong went, he would go.

…………………………

The rain fell harder and harder, pouring down like a basin, as if the entire sky had been torn apart, and endless rainwater smashed crazily toward the ground. The rain was so fierce, like ten thousand horses galloping, and like the Milky Way pouring down, its sound was deafening, as if it wanted to drown the entire world in this pouring rain.

The surface of the Houhai River was violently impacted by raindrops, splashing countless water sprays. These water sprays intertwined and collided in mid-air, and then fell back into the river, forming patches of white water mist. That mist seemed to be endowed with life, constantly churning and surging on the river surface.

A Mercedes-Benz and two Santanas drove slowly and stopped at the parking space dedicated to the first bar. Immediately after, the car doors opened, and umbrellas quickly stretched out from the cars, opening with a 'pa' sound.

Zhou Andong got out of the car holding an umbrella, followed by Gu Bing, and Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin also got out of the two Santanas. The four people got out of the car and ran into the bar in a few steps. It was only a few seconds, but the shoes and pant legs of the four were all soaked by the rain.

A waiter had sharp eyes, and he noticed Zhou Andong as soon as he came in, then hurriedly trotted over and greeted respectfully: "Chairman Zhou, you are here."

Zhou Andong nodded: "The old place!"

"Okay!"

The waiter led the way quickly in front, then stood by the dedicated table. After Zhou Andong and the others sat down, he bent over slightly and asked.

"Chairman Zhou, what would you like to drink?"

"Two cases of 'Yongchuang Tianya', cold." Zhou Andong took out a cigarette from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and then threw the cigarette case on the table: "None of us have eaten, besides fruit platters and dried fruits, get us some snacks. When the rain gets lighter, have someone go roast some barbecue."

The waiter quickly recorded it, waited for a while, and seeing that Zhou Andong had no more instructions, turned and left.

With a 'ka-da' sound, Zhou Andong pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth, then looked around. The bar's business didn't seem to be affected by this heavy rain. It wasn't even five o'clock, and the guests were already ninety percent full.

"Zhou Dongzi, why did you run over in such heavy rain?" Zhang Zuo walked over, shaking his tail.

Zhou Andong glanced at Zhang Zuo and snorted coldly: "Look at your behavior, Tang Seng would have the heart to kill you if he saw you."

Zhang Zuo pulled over a chair from the side, sat down next to Zhou Andong, and then picked up the beer in front of Zhou Andong very impolitely, looked up and drank it with a 'gulu-gulu' sound: "When will the good show on your side be staged?"

"Tomorrow!" Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette: "If you are interested, you can go over and watch the fun. If you know any reporters, you can also bring them over."

Zhang Zuo's eyes rolled: "You still want me to bring reporters?"

"Not important!" Zhou Andong shook his head slightly: "If you want to bring them, bring them; if you don't want to, forget it."

"Oh my, so many people." Zhang Shenghui walked over with a smile, Wu Hongkang walking behind with an expression of watching a show.
