Chapter 2526: The Biggest Dark Horse of the Gu Family
The next morning, Zhou Andong woke up before six o'clock, got up and practiced a set of boxing in the courtyard, then went back to the room to take a shower. By the time he came out, it was almost seven o'clock.
He went out the gate and turned around in front. The underground pipe network was more than half completed, and it was estimated that it would be almost done in two or three days. After leveling the road surface, watering and tamping it, they would start laying antique blue bricks. And the blue bricks had already been ordered, and they would be delivered with just one phone call.
Another thing was the underground parking lot, which had also started construction. The entrance was at the East Hutong entrance, next to the original toilet and the current boiler room, about 11 or 12 meters away from the road, making it very convenient for cars to enter and exit.
Zhou Andong stood next to the boiler room, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and then looked at the underground garage entrance, which had been dug down about seven or eight meters. The concrete retaining wall and concrete support frame box had not been removed, presumably because it hadn't dried yet.
This underground garage project looked very simple, but the engineering volume was definitely not small. Mainly because there were buildings on top, so they had to dig while building concrete, and the progress couldn't be fast even if they wanted it to be.
Zhou Andong walked to the garage entrance and took a look, feeling very emotional in his heart. It was this era; they could dig if they wanted to, and there was no trouble filing with the relevant departments.
After a few more years, let alone digging a parking lot of this scale, even a basement wouldn't be easy. Even if Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo came forward, it wouldn't work in this area. But now that it was dug, it was dug. As long as it was filed and the procedures were legal, there would be no problems in the future.
"I knew you were here." Gu Bing walked over with his hands behind his back, walking in a square step.
Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"No!" Gu Bing shook his head. "I went to the restaurant and saw you weren't there, so I knew you ran over here to stroll around."
Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and handed one to Gu Bing. "You have to be prepared; someone might make things difficult for you in these few days."
"Make things difficult for me?" Gu Bing was stunned. "If they want to move against me, they have to catch my handle first."
Zhou Andong shook his head slightly. "I can't figure out how they want to move against you for a while. But those people are unscrupulous, and they can do anything. In short, be careful during this period of time."
Gu Bing sneered. "Could they kill me?"
"That's not possible, they don't have the guts yet." Zhou Andong also laughed. "I'm just guessing, in short, being careful is never wrong."
Gu Bing said very obediently, "I won't go anywhere during this period of time. I'll stay in the office when I'm at work, and I'll go home with you when I'm off work, is that okay?"
"I'm telling you to be careful, not giving you a reason to be lazy." Zhou Andong said irritably, "You don't need to do anything else, but you have to do a good job in selecting excellent teachers and teachers with special contributions. You're counting on this to achieve results."
Gu Bing grinned and said very triumphantly, "I am now the biggest dark horse of the Gu family. If I achieve some results, even if my big brother holds an astronomical telescope, he won't be able to see my horse's tail."
"What's there to be proud of?" Zhou Andong glanced at this idiot Gu Bing and mocked, "Don't you have any self-awareness in your heart? You, this dark horse, were all colored by me with a brush, bit by bit."
The triumphant expression on Gu Bing's face disappeared instantly, and he glared at Zhou Andong and cursed, "Fart, if I hadn't blocked knives and guns for you, and cooperated with you unconditionally, could you have opened the situation so quickly and handled Shao Yan and the others?"
"That's true!" Zhou Andong admitted very readily. If it weren't for Gu Bing, if someone else were the secretary, he really couldn't have opened the situation so quickly. "But do you admit that if it weren't for me, would you still be the secretary of the Jiangzhou Winery, living aggrieved?"
Gu Bing opened his mouth, he couldn't deny this either, and then, very cleverly changed the subject. "That, when do you plan to open the clubhouse, and who will you invite?"
"It's just us brothers, who else can I invite?" Zhou Andong turned and walked toward the boiler room. There were two doors in the north and south. The south side was a small door with a window. This was the door for the boiler worker to enter and exit, and the window was the room where the workers rested.
And the big door on the north side was a passage specifically for coal trucks to enter and exit. After all, this place was close to the main road. If the coal was unloaded outside, it wouldn't be enough to lose, and it couldn't be watched. Especially in this area, they were all hutong Sihe Academy. For ordinary people, large pieces of coal were much better to burn than coal balls, and it was free.
Moreover, most ordinary people had the psychology of taking small advantages to some extent, especially in this era of just having enough to eat and wear. Once a pile of coal appeared on the side of the road, it would definitely be targeted. As long as one person started stealing coal, then there would be a second, a third, and finally the situation would get out of control and be difficult to control.
By that time, it would be impossible to manage. If you were a little stricter, there would definitely be people rolling on the ground, and even morally kidnapping Zhou Andong, putting a bunch of hats on him, and making him fall into a passive situation.
Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, the boiler room was built very large. And the big door on the north side was designed to be very wide from the beginning. One was to facilitate the installation of the boiler, and the other was to facilitate the entry and exit of coal trucks.
The boiler room doors were all locked. Zhou Andong stood in front of the small door, pushed it open a crack and looked inside. It was messy inside, but the boiler seemed to have been installed.
Andong raised his hand and patted the boiler room door, making a bang-bang sound, and then an echo came from the empty boiler room. Very suddenly, a mouse drilled out from somewhere, swoosh, and darted past Gu Bing's feet, giving Secretary Gu a fright.
Zhou Andong laughed lightly. "The boiler here has been installed, plus the coal for heating in the Jiangzhou Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Yipin residential area, we have to start preparing now."
Zhou Andong patted the boiler room door again. "Normally, winter heating is generally pressurized in mid-October, the furnace is lit at the end of October, and heating officially starts on November 1st.
However, whether it's at home or in the Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Yipin residential area, they all use new boilers and new pipes. To ensure safety and avoid problems during the heating period after winter enters, it must be pressurized at the beginning of October, and the furnace must be lit for trial operation in mid-October.
In this way, no matter what problems there are, they can be discovered and solved early to ensure normal heating during the heating period after winter enters and avoid the owners freezing."
Saying this, Andong finally took a puff of the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped it into the soil fiercely with his foot, and then said, "After a while, I have to call my uncle and ask him to arrange for train cars to transport the coal over. In addition, there is coal for the winery, and it will all be pulled from Hulunbuir here in the future."
Gu Bing stared at Zhou Andong with clear eyes, as if looking at a fool, and couldn't help but say, "There is plenty of coal in the Mentougou Datai Coal Mine, but you don't buy it, and you have to go far away to transport it from Hulunbuir. This freight is not enough for you to lose money."
"You know a fart!" Zhou Andong cursed. "Hulunbuir has our own coal mine, and it's open-pit, with an annual production capacity of 3 million tons, and the minimum annual production indicator is 900,000 tons.
When the transfer contract was signed, Zuo Xingqing, the deputy squad leader of Hulunbuir, specifically greeted and lowered the minimum annual production indicator to 600,000 tons.
But even so, can you imagine how big a pile it is when 600,000 tons of coal are dug out but can't be sold and can only be piled up there? Do you know how much the storage, maintenance, and loss costs are?"
Saying this, Zhou Andong huffed. "Do you believe it, as long as I release a little wind in Hulunbuir, saying that Jiangzhou and Jingcheng need 200,000 tons of coal every year.
Those coal bosses will definitely be like crazy, breaking their heads to sell coal to me, and it's still the lowest price, and even pay for the freight out of their own pockets, and send the coal to my door!"
Gu Bing said very dissatisfied, "If you want to talk, talk well. What kind of look is that? Do you believe I will dig your eyeballs out and step on them as bubbles?"
"Don't believe it!" Zhou Andong shook his head, raised his hand and hooked his finger, and said provocatively, "I don't believe it, you dig one and let me see. Don't worry, I'll stand here, I guarantee I won't hide."
Gu Bing: "..."
This bastard never plays cards according to the routine, this day can't be chatted. Gu Bing turned and left without any hesitation, having a sense of tragedy that the wind is blowing and the water is cold.
Zhou Andong laughed, and followed Gu Bing to his home. And looking at the footsteps, it was very light, obviously, this guy's mood was very pleasant.
In this era when the coal industry is depressed, since his own family has a coal mine, no matter how far away the road is, he must consume it himself to minimize the loss.
Zhou Andong and Gu Bing entered the gate one after another and came to the restaurant. The two sat down. Sister Liu immediately brought breakfast, and Gu Bing didn't pay attention to Zhou Andong until he finished eating.
Just then, Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo came. As soon as the two entered the restaurant, Zhang Zuo didn't be polite and drilled into the kitchen. "Little sister Xiaocui, what delicious food is there this morning?"
"Brother Dazuo!" Wang Xiaocui's voice came from the kitchen. "I just learned to fry crispy rings, you taste it and see how it is, is it delicious."
"Okay!" Soon, Zhang Zuo came out with a plate with two crispy rings on it.
Zhou Andong looked at Tang Lin. "Why did you come so early?"
Tang Lin said with a face of resentment, "You have to ask that idiot Zhang Zuo, he went to knock on my door before six o'clock, woke me up, and insisted on coming to you for breakfast."
"If you don't come, I have to find you." Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Find me a pastry chef and a few chefs, they must all be women, preferably unmarried."
Zhang Zuo's big head poked over, and he said ambiguously, "Zhou—Brother Dong, what do you want to do?"
"What can I do?" Zhou Andong pressed Zhang Zuo's big head and pushed him back. "Don't you see, there are so many bachelors in our family?"
Just then, Wang Xiaocui ran out of the kitchen, along with Sister Liu and the others, looking at Zhou Andong nervously. Why did the chairman suddenly want to find a chef? Was it because they didn't do something well, and they were going to be fired?
Zhou Andong looked at the nervous appearance of Wang Xiaocui and Sister Liu and others, and immediately understood what they were thinking. "I just thought, there are thirty-four people in our family, and Xiaocui is the only one cooking three meals a day.
And Sister Liu, you guys, you are busy in the kitchen every day, and you have to clean up, it's really too tiring. So, I'm looking for a few chefs to liberate you.
In the future, Xiaocui will be the real manager of our family, responsible for the recipes for three meals a day and the procurement of kitchen and household items. Sister Liu, you guys don't have to be busy in the kitchen anymore, just do your own job well every day."
Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Wang Xiaocui and Sister Liu and others all breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and entered the kitchen again. As long as they weren't fired, it was fine.
Zhou Andong laughed, then stood up and came to the newspaper rack, pulled the chair next to it and sat down, then picked up a newspaper and read it.
As time passed, he flipped through the People's Daily, Daily, Youth Daily, and Yangcheng Evening News, and there was no news worth paying attention to. On the contrary, his acquisition of Sony Entertainment was reported in large space in all newspapers.
Zhou Andong picked up the Beijing Evening News again, and didn't see any valuable news either. Just when he was about to put it down, he suddenly saw a piece of news about the police collecting clues for criminal cases.
This was a murder and dismemberment case, the victim was male, identity unknown. About 1.7 meters tall, weighing 140 to 150 jin, age about 32 to 35. The eyes were pierced by sharp weapons, but there was a black mole on the eyebrow.
Seeing this news, the figure of the woman he met at the hospital yesterday suddenly appeared in Zhou Andong's mind. And at this time, he finally remembered who that woman was.
From 1989 to 1999, a very famous female murder demon, Fei Qiaoyun, appeared in Sanbei Province. In ten years, she killed 17 people in total, and the one in the newspaper was the 16th victim.
Fei Qiaoyun had five older brothers and one younger brother. She was the only girl in the family, so she was very spoiled at home. Her parents and eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were all employees of state-owned enterprises.
The fourth brother and fifth brother worked in public institutions. After she graduated from high school, her family entrusted someone to send her to work in a bank, and she also held an iron rice bowl that made people envious.
However, because she was beautiful, especially in a place like a bank, she came into contact with too many people every day, so naturally there was no lack of pursuers. And she often messed around with these people, seeing the lights and green wine she had never seen before.
Thus, the seedling of desire began to grow in her heart, and she also began to become indulgent, and her desire for money became stronger and stronger. Just one day, she began to take risks and embezzle public funds.
But paper couldn't wrap fire after all. Her embezzlement of public funds was exposed, her family scraped together money to plug the hole, and then she was fired by the unit. Immediately after, she met a man, who was still a deputy section chief with real power in the county.
Soon the two fell in love and stepped into the palace of marriage. After marriage, Fei Qiaoyun gave birth to a child, and life was very happy and fulfilling. However, she was used to that kind of life of paper-drunk and gold-fan, and this monotonous life of helping her husband and teaching her children soon made her feel tired.
Thus, she began to complain that her husband was incompetent and couldn't make money. In this complaint, the couple began to quarrel, the conflict continued to expand, and then the two divorced.
Fei Qiaoyun wanted to live a life of a superior person, which was definitely not possible in this small county. Then, she came to Chuncheng. Because she didn't have much money in her hand, she made up stories and sold misery when renting a house, deceiving the landlord.
The kind landlord exempted her from half of the rent, and then in a short period of time, relying on her proud figure and beautiful face, she soon hooked up with an old man in his fifties.
After all, in this era, old men's money was still more than most young people's. However, the old man couldn't stand Fei Qiaoyun's disaster, and his life's savings were soon squandered by her.
Just when she was looking for the next target, the day to pay the rent arrived, but she didn't have much money in her pocket, and she couldn't even eat after paying the rent.
So she bought a bottle of wine and dishes, ran to the landlord's house, and prepared to continue selling misery to reduce the rent, or even exempt the rent. However, on this night, Fei Qiaoyun and the landlord's family of three, and many people's lives were changed.
That night, Fei Qiaoyun and the landlord's family of three were eating dinner around the dining table. At first, she cried poor and sold misery, telling the story with snot and tears, mainly because she couldn't pay the rent this month, and she didn't even have money to eat.
The landlord couple were very kind, seeing that it was really not easy for a woman, and couldn't bear it, so they took out a wallet from their pocket and took out 200 yuan and handed it to Fei Qiaoyun.
Just then, Fei Qiaoyun saw that there was a thick stack of old man heads in the wallet, at least two thousand, and she immediately had an idea. Then, she began to persuade wine frequently.
The kind landlord couple were embarrassed to refuse, and soon, the two were drunk. Only the landlord's two-and-a-half-year-old daughter was lying on the sofa reading a comic book after eating.
Fei Qiaoyun took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen, came to the landlord's daughter, and cut off her head with one knife. The poor child didn't even make a sound.
Then, Fei Qiaoyun killed the landlord couple, cut their faces into a mess, and dismembered them and put them in plastic bags. It took two days to throw the corpse fragments of the landlord's family of three in several directions of the city.
Then, she used one day to wash the crime scene clean. She even washed the bowls she used and took away all the garbage, including the bottle of wine she bought.
And the corpses of the landlord's family were only discovered a week later. The police spent half a month finding all the corpse fragments. But because the facial features were severely damaged, and it was summer, the corpses were severely decomposed, and the identity was difficult to confirm.
What was even more coincidental was that the landlord was an orphan and had no relatives left. The landlord's wife was also from another place and didn't contact her family except for the New Year and holidays. Therefore, for more than half a year, the disappearance of this family of three was not noticed by anyone.
As for Fei Qiaoyun, after disposing of the corpses, she ran to Harbin. Here, she found a second man. In just a few months, she spent all the man's savings, and then taking advantage of the man's deep sleep, she killed the man without hesitation.
Zhou Andong held the newspaper, recalling the news from the previous life. The dismemberment case that happened in Jingcheng was the 16th one killed by Fei Qiaoyun, and next she would escape back to Longjiang Province.
In Jiamusi, she met a speculator, this man was very rich, so she honestly followed this man for five years of extravagant life, and she also disappeared for five years.
In 1999, this man went bankrupt, and Fei Qiaoyun became penniless again. Reasonably speaking, she had slept with this man for five years, even if it were a pig, should it have slept out of feelings?
But Fei Qiaoyun still killed and dismembered this man. However, this time she was not so lucky. Because she had lived with this man for too long, there were traces and breaths of their lives everywhere, and many people knew them.
From the discovery of the corpse to the confirmation of the identity, and then to the arrest of Fei Qiaoyun, it took less than half a month. After this female demon was arrested, the case was disclosed, shocking the entire Sanbei Province.
Therefore, Zhou Andong had a deep memory of this case. The most important thing was that such a cruel murderer was a woman. As long as anyone who had paid attention to this case should find it very difficult to forget.
Later, the investigation details of this major murder case were disclosed one after another, and only then did I know why Fei Qiaoyun would kill people after spending the man's money.
During the interrogation, her answer was that after killing the landlord's family of three, she knew there was no way back. Anyway, killing one and being caught was also a death penalty, so it was better to kill a few more.
Zhou Andong slowly put down the newspaper, thinking of meeting Fei Qiaoyun, the murder demon, at the hospital entrance yesterday. Her target was not Su Su and Old Four, it should be Lian Kai or Shen Mingwei. After he came out, the woman's target changed to him. ===== CHAPTER 2527 =====
