Chapter 2571: 2592: My Conscience Is Uneasy

2592: My Conscience Is Uneasy

Looking at the leader's expression of having no love for life, the secretary was completely confused. What kind of situation is this? For more than a year, the leader has been busy with the case in Jiangxi Province, and he hasn't heard of anything happening at home.

In this landscape painting, there are three cruise ships drifting slowly on the river, like lonely wanderers, searching for their direction in this vast fog sea. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the singing coming from the ship, intermittent, giving this rainy night a different charm.

So, since nothing happened at the leader's home, the leader's expression really made him a bit unable to understand. Just when his brain was about to smoke, a flash of inspiration hit him: could the leader's appearance be because of Zhou Andong?

"Sigh!" Yue Guoqiang sighed. He couldn't not see him. The Jingcheng branch of Yuxi Real Estate, Qiudongfang, Darunfa Supermarket, and the Jinghua Electric Appliance that was about to open had arranged for nearly a thousand martyrs' families.

There was also Jin Dun Security, which had signed a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security and was about to expand its business nationwide. By then, it would not only solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of retired soldiers but also accommodate a large number of martyrs' families. Therefore, even if Zhou Andong came with a bag of explosives today, he had to see him.

"Let him in." Yue Guoqiang waved his hand listlessly.

At this time, the secretary was very sure that the leader was listless because Zhou Andong had come. This made him a bit puzzled, because the relationship between the leader and Zhou Andong had always been good, so how come this time...

The secretary didn't think any further. As a secretary, it is normal to speculate on the leader's thoughts. If he couldn't guess clearly, he wouldn't be a secretary for long. However, some things couldn't be thought about deeply, because thinking about them clearly would bring him trouble.

After the secretary went out, Zhou Andong walked in immediately: "Leader, are you busy?"

A smile immediately appeared on Yue Guoqiang's face. He stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Zhou Andong, and then the two sat face to face.

"Factory Director Zhou, you are a busy person. How do you have time to run to my place today?"

"Leader, do you know how miserable I am as a factory director?" Zhou Andong complained with a face full of worry: "The Woolen Mill can be said to have constant internal and external troubles. Not only do I have to face various serious internal problems, but external problems also appear from time to time, making me exhausted and mentally drained."

Having said this, Zhou Andong raised his hand to wipe away non-existent tears, and then said in a low voice: "I have had the thought of quitting several times. I really want to pat my butt and leave, throwing all the messy things at the Woolen Mill away."

"But there is no way. Since I was a child, I haven't grown in height or heart, but I have grown a conscience. If I really left the Woolen Mill, only thinking about living my own carefree life, wouldn't I be failing the organization's earnest expectations and high trust in me?"

Zhou Andong stared straight at Yue Guoqiang: "And there are 40,000 employees at the Woolen Mill. If I left without caring, wouldn't I be failing their full expectations and eager anticipation of me? At that time, my conscience would be uneasy for a lifetime."

Zhou Andong's face seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze, and his originally bright eyes became dim and lusterless, as if he had lost all vitality. His voice echoed low and powerlessly, revealing a negative emotion that could not be concealed.

Yue Guoqiang's mouth twitched fiercely. He admitted that Zhou Andong had a conscience. Because in the current country, there was no one like Zhou Andong who was wholeheartedly and unreservedly doing charity. He spared no effort to support education, donated to build Hope Primary Schools, and also donated one billion US dollars to the country's scientific research projects.

Besides that, Zhou Andong's enterprises also provided tens of thousands of job opportunities, including for disabled people and martyrs' families, making great contributions to the stability and harmony of society. If he insisted on saying Zhou Andong had no conscience, then his own conscience would be strongly condemned.

However, he didn't believe at all that Zhou Andong would leave the Woolen Mill. Based on his understanding of Zhou Andong, since he had promised the higher-ups to serve as the factory director of the Woolen Mill, he would definitely do things well.

If that day really came when the mess at the Woolen Mill really couldn't be cleaned up, Zhou Andong would leave without hesitation and would never run to him to complain, because it would have no meaning.

"Factory Director Zhou!" Yue Guoqiang said helplessly: "You came all this way to find me just to say these things?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Andong shook his head slightly and sighed long: "My driver and bodyguard were innocently detained by Huang Youmin of the Qinghe Branch. I have no place to reason, so I can only come to find you, old man."

Yue Guoqiang was stunned: "Why did Huang Youmin detain your driver and bodyguard?"

"Yesterday morning, a group of hooligans and thugs brought machetes and steel pipes to the Woolen Mill to cause trouble and commit violence, destroying important facilities of the Woolen Mill. After we called the police, the Qinghe Branch refused to send police on the grounds that they were on a mission and had insufficient police force."

"My driver and bodyguard fought with those armed thugs to protect the property of the Woolen Mill and the lives of the employees. Because the other side was numerous and powerful, to ensure those hooligans wouldn't be driven to desperation and hurt the employees, my driver and bodyguard could only make a quick decision, so they were a bit heavy-handed..."

Zhou Andong told the story in detail: "Now my driver and bodyguard are still squatting inside, and I can't even see them, so I can only find you, old man."

"Is the Security Department of the Woolen Mill just for show?" Yue Guoqiang looked at Zhou Andong suspiciously: "Does this still require your driver and bodyguard to take action?"

"You don't know!" Zhou Andong sighed again: "The Woolen Mill sold employee quotas, and more than 1,000 people were eating empty salaries, and more than 30 million was eaten by this group of people. So, I must recover all this money."

"Yesterday morning, just after more than 100 people from the Security Department left, those hooligans came. It is very clear that those hooligans were premeditated; they had been watching the Woolen Mill from the dark."

Yue Guoqiang frowned. If Zhou Andong didn't add oil and vinegar, then Huang Youmin of the Qinghe Branch had a problem, and a big one at that: "Regarding this matter, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"You must be fast!" Zhou Andong had a face full of worry, his tone full of resentment and helplessness: "My driver and bodyguard are still suffering inside."

"Especially this Huang Youmin, he has completely disregarded the integrity and moral bottom line that a leading cadre should have, and has done such despicable and shameless things. It is hard to guarantee whether my driver and bodyguard will suffer inhuman torture inside."

Yue Guoqiang guaranteed: "I will arrange for someone to investigate now. If there is no discrepancy with what you said, I guarantee I will never tolerate it." ===== CHAPTER 2572 =====
