Chapter 2838: Refusal

"How shameful!" Zhang Yuntong wasn't angry either, he just let out a long sigh, his face filled with regret: "Failure to educate is the father's fault, it's all because I've been busy with work, neglected my son's education since childhood, which led him further down the wrong path."

Zhang Yuntong's tone was very heavy, and he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Zhang Yunfei: "Today I came to see Factory Manager Zhou, just to find a way out for my useless son. So he won't be unable to turn back from the wrong path, and when the time comes, I as a father won't even be able to buy regret medicine."

Tang Lin said with a smile: "Some mistakes can be corrected, but some mistakes cannot be undone."

"I know!" Zhang Yuntong sighed again: "But after all, he's my own son, I can't just watch him go to prison helplessly."

"Children are parents' lifelong bonds, and also parents' lifelong debts." Zhou Andong said emotionally: "No matter how big a mistake the child makes, no matter how much the parents hate it in their hearts, but if help is needed, it must still be given."

Hearing Zhou Andong's agreement, Zhang Yuntong's spirits lifted: "Exactly, that's why I brought my useless son to see Factory Manager Zhou, and by the way brought you a gift."

"Oh?" Zhou Andong raised his eyebrows: "Secretary Zhang, you're being too polite."

Zhang Yuntong didn't speak, but picked up the briefcase beside him, opened it, took out a document from inside, and placed it in front of Zhou Andong: "Factory Manager Zhou, please take a look."

Zhou Andong picked up the document, seeing the words "share transfer agreement" he knew it should be shares of Baihe Pharmaceutical. He didn't open it to read, but returned it, placing it in front of Zhang Yuntong, and said calmly: "No merit, no reward, Secretary Zhang, you'd better take it back."

Zhang Yongtong seemed to have expected Zhou Andong's refusal, smiling slightly: "The child doesn't understand things, made a mistake, took what he shouldn't have. Now handing it over to you counts as the prodigal son returning, and the shares in your hands will surely play an unexpected role in the future."

"I'm not just being polite." Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Ye Zhen pulled you into the Baihe Pharmaceutical incident, which proves we are our own people. Since these shares were obtained by your son, I naturally cannot accept them."

Zhang Yuntong hadn't expected Zhou Andong to truly refuse. This also confirmed his guess: Zhou Andong's target isn't Baihe Pharmaceutical, but something else, very likely helping the newly appointed provincial official who just took office to strike the first blow.

However, Zhou Andong didn't accept the shares, and he also wasn't worried. Because Zhou Andong also said, with Ye Zhen on their side they are their own people, and today's meeting purpose has already been achieved.

"Factory Manager Zhou, look, should Yunfei continue hiding beside Wu Hui and them, or follow you to handle affairs?"

Zhou Andong looked up at Zhang Yunfei: "Young Master Zhang, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Yunfei was startled, his father was right there, where would he get a chance to speak here, but being a smart person, he quickly replied: "Depending on your meaning, Director Zhou, if you want me to keep staying there, I'll stay. If you need a follower to run errands for you anytime, then I'll come over to help you."

Zhao Liangping was unwilling, damn, I finally found an opportunity to follow Zhou Andong with great difficulty, you bastard just came up and want to steal my rice bowl: "You'd better stay there, I'm beside Dong Ge, temporarily don't need you."

Although Zhao Liangping's maternal uncle was transferred to the CPPCC due to health reasons, but that's also a standing committee member, one of the four major teams. Zhang Yunfei wouldn't fear if he still stayed with Wu Hui, but now since he wants to rely on Zhou Andong, he naturally won't provoke Zhao Liangping.

"Indeed, you staying beside Wu Hui and them will be very useful. Moreover, I currently have things that need you to do." Zhou Andong looked at Zhang Yunfei: "I still have many good projects in hand, if done well, I can take you along to play."

Originally lacking interest, Zhang Yunfei instantly became energetic, his eyes shining like a light bulb. He was forced by his father to come see Zhou Andong, he felt some resistance in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have put on a begging-for-a-beating look upon first meeting.

But his father said Zhou Andong is the person who makes the most money in the country, without equal, and he has no objection to that. But he also has self-awareness, doesn't think Zhou Andong would take him along to play.

Putting himself in Zhou Andong's position, if he stood in Zhou Andong's shoes, he would absolutely not bring along former enemies to play. After all, people's hearts are hard to fathom, who can guarantee this defector isn't a two-five boy who will dig a pit for himself?

But since Zhou Andong said in front of his father that he would take him along to play, he definitely won't go back on his word. Because this meeting, Ye Zhen acted as the intermediary, Zhou Andong isn't afraid of offending his father.

But if Zhou Andong finally goes back on his word and doesn't take him along to play, that would be slapping Ye Zhen's face, something Zhou Andong definitely wouldn't do. Also, and most importantly, given Zhou Andong's status and position, he wouldn't use such a matter to deceive him.

"Director Zhou!" Zhang Yunfei excitedly shouted, then immediately said: "No, Dong Ge, what..."

"Pa!"

Zhang Yunfei hadn't finished speaking, Zhang Yuntong raised his hand, the chopsticks in his hand flew out and smashed onto Zhang Yunfei's face, he shouted angrily: "Call him Uncle Zhou, can you call him Dong Ge?"

This isn't Zhang Yuntong flattering, given Zhou Andong's status and administrative rank, Zhang Yunfei can call him Factory Manager Zhou or Director Zhou, but absolutely cannot call him Ge. The reason is simple: Zhang Yunfei has no qualification to call Zhou Andong brother, and he also lacks the guts to act as an elder in front of Zhou Andong.

Zhang Yunfei was dazed by the hit, mouth open not knowing what to say, just staring blankly at his father's iron-blue face.

Zhou Andong smiled and waved his hand: "Secretary Zhang, I'm only a few years older than your son, him calling me Ge is not wrong."

"No!" Zhang Yuntong said firmly: "Your broad-mindedness is one thing, but seniority cannot be messed up."

"Suit yourself." Zhou Andong said helplessly, though the smile at the corner of his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment, then looked at Zhang Yunfei: "I'll call you Yunfei, is that okay?"

Zhang Yunfei's mouth twitched once, could he say no?

"No problem!"

Zhou Andong picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip: "Then let's start talking about the real matter."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, everyone sat up straight, especially Zhang Yunfei, who straightened his waist like a pen. Because he felt, from now on he would be the main character.

Zhou Andong looked at Zhang Yunfei and asked: "How much influence do you have in front of Wu Hui?"

Zhang Yunfei initially didn't understand, thought it over, then realized: "We speak, Wu Hui listens seriously, but whether he acts or not is another matter."

Zhou Andong tapped his fingers on the table: "Who does Wu Hui get close to, whose words he listens to, and moreover, will act upon?"

Zhang Yunfei said without hesitation: "Liu Anrong!"
