Chapter 366
Zhou Andong didn't expect that the news of his return to the village would spread so quickly. It had only been a few minutes, and he even saw Zhao Guifen's figure.
"Oh my, Liying, don't be sad. Although your Dongzi can't be the factory director at the winery anymore, he is a college student after all. Even if he has to beg for food, he will eat better than us."
Before the person arrived, Zhao Guifen's voice was heard.
The cigarette in Zhou Xiaoxin's hand fell onto the kang with a "clatter," and then he hurriedly picked it up. He wanted to say something, but Li Jiutang and Zhao Quan had already entered the house.
Immediately after, with a "whoosh," the people behind all entered. In an instant, the small room was crowded with people. There were brigade cadres and some villagers.
Of course, some of these people were truly concerned about Zhou Andong, but some were there to watch the fun.
"Dongzi!" Li Jiutang said: "We were having a meeting at the brigade, and when we heard you were back, we ran over."
Zhao Quan patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder: "It's no big deal not to be the winery director. The furniture factory Xiao Bei set up, it opened yesterday and ordered more than ten sets of furniture. Now the factory is extremely busy.
It just so happens that you go to the furniture factory. With your ability, you can definitely lead the furniture factory to ride the wind and waves and create a world."
Zhou Andong smiled, scanned the room, and took in the expressions on everyone's faces.
Some truly felt sorry for Zhou Andong, and of course, some were gloating. After all, one was Jiangzhou Winery, and the other was a broken furniture factory that had just been set up. Anyone with a brain knew which was important. In their view, Zhao Quan's words were just comforting Zhou Andong.
"Right, right, right!" Zhao Guifen said with a smile: "The furniture factory is quite good. Dongzi, you go be the factory director of the furniture factory."
Zhou Andong smiled: "Uncle Quan, let Xiao Bei toss the furniture factory, I won't participate."
"How can that be!" Li Jiutang said: "No matter how big or small the furniture factory is, it's also the first enterprise in our village. Xiao Bei is still young. Before, there was no way, but now that you've come out of the winery, isn't it just right for you to steer the furniture factory?"
"Uncle Jiu, listen to me!" Zhou Andong took out cigarettes and gave one each to Li Jiutang and Zhao Quan, then lit one for himself, "Actually, even without this incident, even if they didn't remove me from my post, I would have left the winery."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, but soon, mocking smiles appeared on some faces, thinking Zhou Andong was just saving face and finding a step for himself.
Zhao Quan asked: "Why?"
Zhou Andong smoked and said calmly: "Because a foreign company hired me as general manager."
In an instant, all the voices disappeared, and everyone looked at Zhou Andong blankly, with doubt, disbelief, and surprise. Of course, the surprised ones were Zhou Xiaoxin and Yuan Liying.
Zhao Quan asked: "Really?"
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I wouldn't dare to joke with you, Uncle Quan and Uncle Jiu."
"Hahaha..."
Li Jiutang laughed loudly: "I said so, Dongzi is a college student. Even if he leaves the winery, his future will be bright. But I didn't expect it to be a foreign company, and he's even the general manager."
Speaking of this, he patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder heavily, "Good kid, you really have it."
Zhao Quan sighed: "Dongzi will earn US dollars in the future."
Zhou Andong said casually: "Yes, more than two thousand US dollars a month."
"How much?"
Zhao Quan's voice suddenly rose. Those who knew the exchange rate all widened their eyes.
Zhou Andong said very calmly: "More than two thousand US dollars a month."
"Gulp!" Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhao Guifen didn't know how much two thousand US dollars was, so she secretly asked a young man beside her: "Nephew, how much is two thousand US dollars worth?"
The young man said: "More than ten thousand!"
"More... more than ten thousand?" Zhao Guifen shouted, "Isn't that a ten-thousand-yuan household in one month?"
Someone who couldn't stand Zhao Guifen said: "Exactly, twelve ten-thousand-yuan households in a year."
"Impossible!" Zhao Guifen snorted: "Zhou Andong, you're just blowing smoke. Who is so stupid to give you a salary of ten thousand yuan a month."
At this time, a man said: "How much money Dongzi earns is none of your business. Do you need to believe it?"
"Alright!" Zhao Quan also didn't like Zhao Guifen, "Everyone is concerned about Dongzi. Now that we know he's fine, let's all go."
Zhou Xiaoxin hurriedly said: "Branch Secretary, Uncle Jiu, eat at home before leaving."
Li Jiutang said with a smile: "Let's not eat today. I'll come over to have a drink with you another day."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoxin agreed, "Dongzi, send them off!"
Zhou Andong sent the group to the gate. When he came back, Yuan Liying pulled Zhou Andong and asked: "Honestly confess, did you really go to that foreign company to be the general manager?"
"Of course it's true!" Zhou Andong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it: "In the future, I can give you ten thousand yuan every month, you can spend it however you want."
Yuan Liying said with a smile: "You give me so much money every month, how can I spend it all."
Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "Buy popsicles, eat one and throw one away. Cook two pots of rice, eat one yourself, and let the fourth child play with the other..."
"Pop!" Yuan Liying hit Zhou Andong and said angrily: "You child, you only know how to talk nonsense."
Zhou Xiaoxin suddenly asked: "Does Qiuqiu know you're going to a foreign company?"
"She knows!" Zhou Andong said: "She will also leave with me and work at the foreign company."
"That's good!" Zhou Xiaoxin finally showed a smile on his face.
"Dad!" Zhou Andong said: "You don't have to worry about spending money for medical treatment anymore. When I go to Beijing, I'll buy a house. We can't afford an apartment, but we can definitely afford a courtyard house. It's convenient for you to live in while getting treatment."
Zhou Xiaoxin said: "You decide, but buying a house is a big deal, you have to discuss it with Qiuqiu."
"My big grandson is back." The outer room door creaked, and then the old lady and the old man entered the house.
As soon as she entered, the old lady nervously touched Zhou Andong all over: "Good, good, it's good that you're fine."
This was the first time Zhou Andong saw the old lady so nervous about him. At this moment, all dissatisfaction with the old lady vanished.
"Grandma, I'm fine, not even a hair fell off."
The old man said coldly: "It's good to be back, it doesn't matter if you don't be that factory director."
"Dad!" Yuan Liying said with a smile: "Dongzi is going to be the general manager of a foreign company."
"Ah?" The old man was stunned: "Go to a foreign company to be the general manager?"
"Yes!" Yuan Liying nodded, "He can earn more than ten thousand a month."
The old man's brows furrowed: "Dongzi, what kind of enterprise is this foreign company? Which country is it from?"
Zhou Andong said: "It's a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. It's a foreign company now, but when it returns, it will be one family."
The old man's brows relaxed, and he nodded with a smile: "That's fine."
Originally, Zhou Andong was going to return to the city, but he chatted with the old man for a long time, and it was dark outside, so there was no car to return to the city, so he could only stay at home for one night.
September 24, 1992, the 28th day of the eighth lunar month, Thursday.
Cheng Zhanjun arrived at the office before eight o'clock. Because he had to go to the First Construction Company at ten o'clock and had several important documents to approve as soon as possible, he wanted to finish dealing with them in the morning.
After nine o'clock, Cheng Zhanjun put down the pen in his hand, let out a breath, and then lit a cigarette, casually picking up the Provincial Daily beside him, and saw the front-page headline, bold and enlarged title.
"Seeking Fame and Reputation, Seeking Profit, Why Use the Name of Scholarship?"
Cheng Zhanjun's face changed. Looking at the article below, his face turned darker and darker, and finally turned livid.
"Bang!" Cheng Zhanjun slapped the desk heavily with anger, cursing angrily: "Simply nonsense, how can this author be so black and white." ===== CHAPTER 367 =====
