Chapter 352: Held Firmly
Zhou Andong gnawed the chicken leg in a few bites and then threw away the bone. "Later, the city leader found me and said let me be the factory director. At that time, I thought it was a joke, so I bragged. 'Let me be factory director, fine, I guarantee to reach a sales volume of 300 million in two years.'
But what I didn't expect was that the leader wasn't joking; he really let me be the factory director. That day at the all-factory worker congress, everyone was there, and the moment it was announced, my brain was blank.
I really wanted to say, reaching 300 million in sales in two years was me bragging, leader, you must not take it seriously. But at that time, the situation didn't allow me to refuse, so I could only grit my teeth and agree. At that time, I thought, I really brought this on myself."
A burst of light laughter erupted in the crowd, all thinking, fortunately, you bragged to the leader at that time, and fortunately, the leader believed it, otherwise where would we be today.
"Just like that, I was forced onto the shelf, thinking every day about how to sell the wine. This hair, it fell out in handfuls; you guys look, is it much less than before?"
Zhou Andong lowered his head, letting the workers below see clearly.
"The factory director's hair seems to be really much less."
"Yeah, for the distillery, the factory director really worried a lot."
"Without the factory director, where would our life today be."
Hearing the discussion below, Gu Bing just curled his lip. What kind of eyes do you guys have? He has more hair than I do, where is it less.
Zhou Andong grinned, and when he raised his head, his face became a bit sad again.
"Many people said, why should you, Zhou Andong, be factory director? Aren't you just a college student? What's so great about it? If I were factory director, I'd definitely do better than him; he's factory director, I just don't accept it. 【352-13
Actually, the position of factory director is not an honor, let alone a privilege. This position is a post, and even more so, a responsibility. I have no other requests; my only pursuit is to see your satisfied and approving gazes.
Although I have only been factory director for a little over half a year, I can say loudly that I have lived up to the trust and expectations that the city leaders and all of you have placed in me."
The crowd below was silent. Some people had already heard a hint of something unusual in Zhou Andong's words and suddenly became somewhat uneasy.
"It's just that there are still some things I wanted to do but didn't, which brings regrets, and there is also the unwillingness that comes from things not going as wished. But the joy of the victory we achieved through our joint struggle will be the most unforgettable and worth-reminiscing experience in our life's journey."
Over a thousand people were actually silent, quietly watching Zhou Andong. Anxiety was already appearing on some people's faces.
Zhou Andong looked down and was silent for a moment: "From the bottom of my heart, I thank the organization for its cultivation and trust, and I thank everyone for your recognition, trust, and support."
"Factory Director, are you..." a loud shout came from the crowd.
Zhou Andong smiled: "Life is like this; there are gatherings and partings. I believe that without me, the winery will be even better in the future. And I, too, can go see the world outside."
Having said this, Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Disperse, everyone go home."
"Factory Director!"
"Factory Director!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Low shouts came from the crowd, along with the crying of young girls. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive.
Deng Zhangli's face turned very ugly. If Zhou Andong left, he could imagine what the future of this winery would be like.
It was just that Zhou Andong had been removed from his post, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything now. He could only talk to Zhou Andong after the matter had passed.
It had been so hard to reach today; he absolutely could not let this great situation be ruined by these bastards.
Hearing the shouts and crying, Zhou Andong's mood suddenly turned very bad. He pointed at Yao Jun and the others and said to Feng Xingping: "I want to say a few words to them."
"No!" With the matter resolved, Feng Xingping's confidence returned, and he refused Zhou Andong's request without hesitation.
Zhou Andong grinned: "If you want to promote someone in the factory to be factory director, I have nothing to say. If you want to send someone to take my place, do you believe that without my instructions, the orders of the person you arrange won't even be able to leave the office?"
He believed it. How could Feng Xingping not believe it? Given the scene today, because Zhou Andong was no longer factory director, there were actually many women crying, which showed how high Zhou Andong's status was in their hearts.
"Fine!"
Feng Xingping compromised; he had no choice. He had come down specifically to take Zhou Andong down and arrange for his own people to serve as factory director so he could auction off the development company.
If the person he arranged couldn't even get their words to carry weight and couldn't even leave the office, then what was the point?
"But I must arrange for someone to sit in and listen."
Zhou Andong said without hesitation: "Let's go, I have nothing left to say to them!"
Feng Xingping was dumbfounded and compromised once again: "Fine, fine, fine, go ahead and give them your instructions."
Zhou Andong smiled. He knew that these guys would definitely arrange their own people to come in after removing him as factory director. Although he couldn't guess their ultimate goal yet, without his instructions, no matter who came in—even if Feng Xingping himself came to be the factory director—they would find every step difficult.
Therefore, Feng Xingping was firmly held in Zhou Andong's grip, with no power to resist.
"Old Gu, Dajun, Fang Qiao, Ge Zhengrong, Yu Qingyu..." Zhou Andong named the leaders of each department, "Follow me inside."
A group of people entered the factory headquarters, went up to the second floor, and stood in the corridor. Zhou Andong took out a cigarette, lit it, and then threw the remaining half-pack to Gu Bing.
"Old Gu, if Wu Huilin doesn't arrive tomorrow, she will definitely arrive the day after. For these two days, you stay in my office and wait for the call. After she arrives, you must make arrangements, and then arrange for her to meet with Cheng Zhanjun and Deng Zhangli."
Gu Bing asked: "And after the meeting?"
Zhou Andong said: "Let her stay in Jiangzhou for a few days to see what Feng Xingping and the others are really trying to do. Perhaps she will need to step forward and do some things."
Gu Bing nodded, took out a cigarette, and handed the pack to Yao Jun.
Zhou Andong said to Yao Jun and the others again: "No matter who they arrange to be factory director, you must cooperate."
"Why?" Yao Jun asked.
Zhou Andong said: "Only then can we know what they are really trying to do, and only then can we lay out our plans."
Several people nodded at the same time. Zhou Andong gave a sinister laugh: "There's one more thing for you to handle."
Seeing this smile from Zhou Andong, everyone shivered, knowing that someone was about to be unlucky.
Zhou Andong whispered to them: "Damn it, whoever makes me unhappy for a day, I'll make them miserable for a lifetime."
Fang Qiao's eyes were still a bit red, and she had shed quite a few tears just now, but now she smiled: "Factory Director, shall we do it now?"
Zhou Andong said: "Go and set it up!"
