Chapter 2533

Woolen Mill!

Jiao Liwei stood in front of the office window with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of the factory gate. He had arrived relatively early today, and those hooligans hadn't arrived yet; it was the factory office that notified him that there were hooligans causing trouble at the factory gate.

However, he didn't show his face because he had already guessed who the people behind these hooligans were, and today's incident was definitely aimed at Zhou Andong. He didn't want to be the bird that sticks its head out and take the hit for Zhou Andong.

Anyway, if he didn't show his face, other factory leaders would definitely come out to handle it, so he sent his secretary to go and see the situation. But what he didn't expect was that Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin didn't come to work, and he didn't know what they had gone off to do.

Because the factory headquarters was quite far from the factory gate, he didn't see Zhou Andong after he arrived. It wasn't until Zhou Andong finished handling it and walked toward the factory headquarters that he gradually saw clearly that Zhou Andong had arrived, and the matter at the factory gate must have been resolved.

But he was very curious: so many hooligans had run over to cause trouble, and the Security Department personnel from top to bottom had all gone out to execute a mission, leaving only a few people to watch the house. How did Zhou Andong handle it?

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Jiao Liwei's office door was knocked lightly from the outside, and he shouted without turning his head: "Enter!"

The office door was pushed open slowly, and secretary Han Yunxue walked in on tiptoe: "Factory Director, the matter outside has been resolved."

Jiao Liwei raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask, unable to suppress his inner doubt: "Was it resolved after Zhou Andong arrived?"

"Yes!" Han Yunxue didn't wait for Jiao Liwei to ask again and explained the matter in detail: "Those hooligans were all beaten by the Factory Director's driver and bodyguards, who broke a leg and an arm of each of them, and then they were thrown to the side of the road."

Jiao Liwei's eyelids twitched wildly. He really hadn't expected Zhou Andong to resolve this trouble in such an intense way. But he had to admit that this method was also the simplest and most effective, only that resolving things this way wasn't perfect and had aftereffects.

Because Zhou Andong's driver and bodyguards were not employees of the Woolen Mill's Security Department and had no law enforcement power. Not to mention that those hooligans hadn't really done anything, even if they had, they had struck so heavily, breaking people's arms and legs.

As long as the people behind this were tough enough to arrest Zhou Andong's driver and bodyguards, not to mention sentencing them to a few years, even if it was just detention for ten days or half a month, Zhou Andong's face would have been beaten until it was swollen.

Jiao Liwei's inner doubt hadn't been resolved yet, so he asked: "Then why did you just come back?"

Han Yunxue said with a smile: "I felt that those hooligans had been beaten like that, so the people behind them definitely wouldn't let it go, so I stayed for a while longer. Sure enough, another large group of hooligans came, and looking at them, there must have been forty or fifty people. They are now busy sending those hooligans to the hospital, and I reckon that once they finish, they will definitely come back."

Jiao Liwei turned around slowly, sat in the large boss chair, and then laughed gloatingly: "This time, Zhou Andong's trouble is big. His driver and bodyguards going to the sub-bureau is like throwing themselves into a net, and they definitely won't be able to come back for the time being.

Now that there are only a few people left in the Security Department, and the other party has forty or fifty people, I want to see how he resolves it. As for calling the police, the police didn't respond to the call this morning, so calling the police now will definitely be useless."

Han Yunxue hesitated for a moment, but finally asked: "Factory Director, I think we can use this opportunity to get closer to Zhou Andong."

"It's useless!" Jiao Liwei shook his head slightly: "Zhou Andong is not someone who compromises easily. Even if he falls this time, he won't agree to sit at the same table as me to play cards, so—"

He didn't continue what he was saying, but laughed instead. The matter of his father-in-law serving as the full-time Deputy Secretary already had some clues. However, before the matter was completely settled, he absolutely couldn't say it.

Han Yunxue didn't know what medicine Jiao Liwei was selling in his gourd, but as a leader's secretary, his brain had to remain clear at all times. He knew what should be asked and what shouldn't be asked.

"Shao Yan and Zhang Qun and the others are finished; I reckon they won't be able to come out for the rest of their lives."

"That's hard to say." Jiao Liwei said thoughtfully: "For the time being, Zhou Andong has completely mastered the Woolen Mill. But the web behind Shao Yan and the others definitely won't let it go. The scene at the factory gate today was actually a probe of theirs. Next, they will definitely have more actions."

As for what actions, Jiao Liwei didn't say, because he wasn't clear either. He just felt that such a large interest in the Woolen Mill had been cut off by Zhou Andong, and some people would definitely be stimulated until their eyes turned red, so they would retaliate regardless of the consequences.

………………

At this time, Zhou Andong was writing furiously, writing a reform plan, completely throwing the matter at the factory gate to the back of his mind. Meanwhile, Gu Bing sat on the sofa, smoking quite leisurely, and would occasionally glance at Zhou Andong and let out a "heh" laugh.

"You have so much work not being handled, why are you staying here with me?" Zhou Andong stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at Gu Bing, and said with a helpless face: "More importantly, do you know how scary your 'heh heh' silly laughter is?"

Gu Bing said very dissatisfied: "I have no work to do, and it's meaningless to go back by myself. If I stay here with you for a while, will you lose a piece of meat?"

"How come you have no work?" Zhou Andong put down the pen in his hand, picked up the cigarette box beside him, and lit a cigarette: "Isn't selecting excellent teachers work?"

Gu Bing smiled triumphantly: "I handed this matter over to Tan Sheng to be responsible for. Once the final selection is made, I'll just issue the bonus myself; there's no need to do it personally."

Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing in surprise, then raised his hand and pointed at his own head: "When did this thing of yours start growing intelligence?"

Originally, Gu Bing was in a very good mood, but hearing Zhou Andong's words, all his good mood was gone. He stared with wide eyes and said through gritted teeth: "If you weren't my brother-in-law, today would be your death anniversary."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at him: "If you weren't my brother-in-law, you would have been buried by someone long ago; I reckon the grass on your grave would have grown several batches by now."

Gu Bing still wanted to retort to Zhou Andong, but at this moment, the office door was knocked, and Zhou Andong shouted: "Enter!"

Dong Wenjuan walked in quickly: "Factory Director, Director Tan is here and wants to see you."

"Let him in." Zhou Andong moved the ashtray in front of himself and then flicked the ash. Having separated at the factory gate just a few minutes ago, Tan Sheng had run over again; there must be something important.

Tan Sheng walked into the office quickly, his complexion looking a bit unpleasant: "Factory Director, another group of hooligans just came, there must be forty or fifty of them, all carrying weapons, and even machetes and axes.

They have already sent those hooligans who had their legs and arms broken to the hospital, and the twenty-plus people left behind have been clamoring at the factory gate, wanting to break your arms and legs to take revenge."

Zhou Andong touched the stubble on his chin and said with a smile: "I thought they would come tomorrow; I didn't expect them to run over so quickly."

Tan Sheng said urgently: "There are only a few people in the Security Department; if we don't think of a way quickly, something will really happen."

"They don't have the guts to want to retaliate against me."

Zhou Andong sneered. He was the Woolen Mill's Factory Director, a department-level leading cadre; if those hooligans beat him up, even the Heavenly King couldn't protect them, let alone those mice behind them.

But if they beat up the employees and then scattered and ran away, plus the operation of those mice hidden behind the scenes, it really might end up with nothing. Even if they were under pressure, they would probably push out two so-called masterminds to take the blame.

Zhou Andong looked at Tan Sheng: "Our Woolen Mill has such a deep foundation; we should have a militia, right?"

"Yes!" Tan Sheng's eyes lit up instantly; why hadn't he thought of that: "Our factory has an armed workers' force, and in the past, there was even an artillery battalion, but it was canceled in '89, only retaining the militia battalion, but it hasn't organized training for three or four years."

"Whether they train or not doesn't matter; they have fifty people, but we have a whole battalion. Ten against one, even if each person spits once, they could choke those hooligans to death."

"I'll go assemble the militia now." Tan Sheng was a bit impatient and turned to leave.
