Chapter 262
Wu Cheng said without hesitation: "Anywhere is fine; she can do anything."
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "How about this, go back and ask your sister what her opinion is. If she has no thoughts, let her go to the broadcasting station. It's relaxed and free, clean, and she doesn't even have to change her factory uniform."
"Okay!" Wu Cheng was overjoyed. The broadcasting station was a place female employees couldn't get into even if they broke their heads; if his sister could get into the broadcasting station, what else could be wrong?
Zhou Andong brought the ashtray in front of him and flicked the ash: "When you rent a factory building, just sign for two years. Because the city wants to establish an industrial park, the factory will move there by then."
After finishing, Zhou Andong slapped his head and picked up the phone to call Wu Xianping: "Old Wu, don't move the printing factory yet."
"What's wrong?" Wu Xianping asked, not understanding. He had been running around for this matter for the past few days, and the district had already agreed to approve the land for him; he was going to handle the procedures tomorrow.
Zhou Andong said: "The city wants to establish an industrial park, and there are tax reduction and exemption policies for enterprises that move in. The winery will also move there by then."
Wu Xianping asked: "There's such a good thing as tax reduction and exemption?"
Zhou Andong said: "Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't move. You just persist for now; there should be news next month. By then, we'll go choose a place together. We are the first batch of enterprises to move in; we must choose a good location."
Wu Xianping laughed and said: "Good thing you told me tonight; the district already approved the land, and I was going to handle the procedures tomorrow."
Zhou Andong also smiled: "Then let's do that."
"Okay!" Wu Xianping said, "You go ahead if you have things to do."
Zhou Andong put down the phone and checked the time: "Xiao Bei and Gao Yong can just stay with me for the night, and go back to Tanghezi tomorrow."
Zhou Anbei nodded indifferently. Gao Yong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He used to be very casual when he saw Zhou Andong, but this time, for some reason, he had been very nervous.
Zhou Andong said to Wu Cheng: "You kid go back too; you've been away for so long, your family is worried."
Wu Cheng chuckled: "Then I'll go first."
Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up, and said: "Let's go too."
After leaving the factory office, Zhou Anbei suddenly shouted: "Sister!"
Zhou Andong looked up and saw his older sister and An Jing walking toward the dormitory building.
"Zhou Anqin!" Zhou Anbei shouted again.
This time Zhou Anqin and An Jing heard it and turned around at the same time. Seeing it was Zhou Andong and the others, they waved with a smile.
Several people walked over, and Zhou Andong asked: "When did you get back?"
An Jing said with a smile: "Got off the train a little after 7:00 AM and went straight to the shop."
"We got back today too." Zhou Anbei said loudly with great interest: "I went to Guangzhou and Zhuhai."
Zhou Anqin rolled her eyes: "I know, why are you shouting?"
"Uh!"
Zhou Anbei lost interest immediately and pouted.
An Jing tucked a strand of hair from her forehead and said while walking: "The songs have all been recorded and will be played on the 'Rotating Big Stage', but the date hasn't been determined yet; I'll be notified when it is. Also, about the urban complex, my dad is very interested in this project. He'll have time to come over in a few days to see it in person and have a good chat with you."
"Good!" Zhou Andong nodded, "Also, the administrative building, I'll have to trouble the old man to help design it."
"Administrative building?" An Jing looked at Zhou Andong in confusion.
Zhou Andong said: "The south of the bridge is going to establish a high-tech zone, and the municipal leadership is going to move there, so they definitely need to build an office building. I was thinking of building an administrative building where all the leadership works in one office building. This way, communication between departments is convenient, and it's also convenient for the common people to handle affairs."
An Jing said: "This is a good idea; you can tell my dad when the time comes."
Several people went upstairs, and Zhou Andong opened the door. An Jing shouted: "Good night!"
Zhou Andong also said with a smile: "Good night!"
After entering the room, Zhou Andong first took a shower, then found a quilt and threw it on the bed in the north room: "You two squeeze in for the night."
"Okay!" Zhou Anbei said: "Gao Yong, you go take a shower first."
Gao Yong asked: "Aren't you going to wash?"
Zhou Anbei said: "I'll wash after you finish."
The next morning, Feng Duo and Yao Shiguang got up and, without even washing their faces, ran to the restaurant for breakfast.
"What's going on? It's been two days, and there's not a single bit of news. There shouldn't be any slip-ups, right?" Yao Shiguang bit into a bun, chewing absentmindedly.
Feng Duo was peeling a boiled egg: "After eating, I'll go give him a call."
Yao Shiguang didn't speak again, slurped down a bowl of porridge, and ate two more buns.
"I'm full."
Feng Duo finished peeling two boiled eggs, dipped them in a little soy sauce, and ate them slowly: "Don't worry, with such huge interests, no one would not be tempted."
"Exactly!" Yao Shiguang said: "In the face of such huge interests, he can actually stay so calm; there's been no news for two days, which is why I find it strange."
"Hehe..."
Feng Duo chuckled, then picked up a napkin to wipe his hands: "Alright, I'm not eating anymore; I'm going back now to call Gu."
It was only a little after 8:00 AM. Gu Bing had just gotten up when the phone in the room rang. He picked it up, and Feng Duo's voice came through the receiver.
"Gu Bing, I'm Feng Duo. How are things? It's been two days."
Gu Bing's mouth curled into a smile, but he let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong?" Feng Duo was startled; something must have gone wrong.
"Sigh!"
Gu Bing sighed again: "We discussed it in a meeting the day before yesterday, and this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
Feng Duo's heart went cold, and he asked with some urgency: "What exactly happened? Tell me, let's see if I can help."
Gu Bing suppressed his laughter: "The problem lies with you guys."
At this, Feng Duo's heart went completely cold: "W-what problem do we have? Stop joking."
Gu Bing said: "We said that day that matters involving employees are not small matters. During the meeting, someone said that such things must be voluntary for employees and that administrative orders cannot be used to force employees to pay an entrance fee."
"And an entrance fee of 1,800 is too large an amount. If something goes wrong, no one can take responsibility. So someone proposed that your company pay a deposit, and for every employee, you have to pay a deposit of 400."
Feng Duo was dumbfounded: "Gu Bing, it's our company providing you with an opportunity to make money; in turn, you want us to pay a deposit to your factory? That's not very reasonable; it sounds a bit ridiculous no matter how you hear it."
Gu Bing said in a very helpless tone: "Director Zhou and I also thought it was ridiculous when we heard it, but this proposal was agreed to by all the factory leadership. Even Director Zhou and I had no way to oppose it."
"So the two of us discussed it: we won't play with them; just the two of us will pay the entrance fee and slowly develop downlines. Although making money this way is a bit slower, it's stable."
