Chapter 467
Old Sun returned home and immediately called his two sons and daughters-in-law: "Go back and pack up. Tomorrow morning, follow your mother to your uncle's house for a few days."
"Why?" the eldest son asked: "It's almost New Year, why run so far away?"
Old Sun said: "Don't ask. If I tell you to go, go. If I don't notify you, don't come back."
Old Sun's wife, Bai Guifang, also didn't understand: "What exactly happened? It's so sudden, you don't tell us anything, can we leave with peace of mind?"
Old Sun hesitated for a moment but still said: "Something is going to happen, something big. A big shot is targeting Chen Zhonghou. Once Chen Zhonghou has a problem, I won't be able to run either.
So you must leave. Only when you leave will I have no worries and try my best to get myself out. If you don't leave, then I can only go down one path to the end. Once something happens, maybe next year, you'll have to visit my grave to burn paper for me."
When Bai Guifang heard this, her heart was shocked.
The second son said: "Alright, we'll leave tomorrow."
Bai Guifang said: "Let the two brothers take their wives and children, I won't go."
"No!" Old Sun said: "You must go."
Bai Guifang couldn't be stubborn and could only nod in agreement: "Alright, I'll go too."
The two sons went home and started packing their luggage in the middle of the night.
The night grew deeper, and the snow outside fell heavier and heavier. At one o'clock in the morning, Old Sun climbed out of the quilt, got dressed, took a flashlight, and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Bai Guifang had something on her mind and hadn't been able to sleep, so as soon as Old Sun moved, she knew.
"I have something to do at the village office, you go to sleep quickly." Old Sun took the flashlight and left the room, then walked step by step through the deep snow to the village office.
He took out the key, opened the gate, entered the room with the flashlight, opened a rusty iron cabinet, rummaged through it, and took out a stack of account books.
Then, holding the flashlight, he carefully flipped through them, confirmed they were correct, stuffed the account books into the pocket of his cotton-padded coat, locked the iron cabinet, turned around, and left quickly. …………
"Ding-a-ling..."
Zhou Andong was awakened by the phone ringing. He opened his eyes, muttered something, got out of bed in a daze, went to the living room, picked up the phone, and then leaned back on the sofa.
"Calling so early, disturbing people's dreams, is very immoral, do you know that?"
"Ha..." A woman's laugh came from the receiver.
Zhou Andong was startled and immediately became energetic: "Wife!"
"Good boy!" Seeing Jian Qiu chuckled again: "What time is it and you're still not up, and you're talking about disturbing dreams? I think it's a wet dream."
Zhou Andong chuckled: "I dreamed of you, so saying it's a wet dream is also correct."
"You can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth." Seeing Jian Qiu cursed: "When are you coming to Xiangjiang?"
Zhou Andong yawned: "In a few days, the group has just been established, and there are many things to do."
"What position did you arrange for me?" Seeing Jian Qiu asked curiously.
Zhou Andong said: "You are now the Vice Chairman and President of Jiangzhou Yugong Group."
"President, not bad!" Seeing Jian Qiu was very satisfied: "It's just that I can't go back, so I'm a president in name only and can't help you at all."
Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit one: "It doesn't matter if you can't come back. Just find someone you trust to serve as Vice President and manage the group, isn't that fine?"
"That works too!" Seeing Jian Qiu thought for a moment: "I'll definitely return to Jingcheng before the New Year, and I'll find a suitable person then."
The two were chatting enthusiastically when the door was knocked on loudly.
Zhou Andong sighed and said: "Your big brother, whose IQ is half a catty short, my brother-in-law, is here. Let's leave it at that."
"Alright!" Seeing Jian Qiu said: "Call me before you come, so I can pick you up at the airport."
"Hmm!" Zhou Andong hummed, put down the phone, and then got up to open the door.
"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Gu Bing entered the room suspiciously, looked around, walked into the bedroom, lay on the ground, and looked under the bed.
Zhou Andong held a toothbrush, brushing his teeth while watching this idiot rummage around.
"Pfft!" Zhou Andong turned and returned to the washroom, spat the foam into the sink, and rinsed his mouth.
"Idiot, did you find anything?"
Gu Bing snorted: "Didn't find anything. Consider yourself lucky, kid."
Zhou Andong curled his lips: "If you found something, what could you do to me? Can you beat me?"
Gu Bing opened his mouth and said somewhat dejectedly: "I can't beat you, but I'll tell Qiuqiu, and she'll deal with you."
Zhou Andong sneered: "That's all the ability you have."
After speaking, he put on his cotton-padded coat, found the key, put it in his pocket: "Let's go!"
The two left the room. The snow outside hadn't stopped, but it was a bit smaller than last night.
Zhou Andong took a deep breath of the cold air and then exhaled a long breath.
With the greenhouse effect and global warming, in more than ten years, such heavy snow would be hard to see.
The two left the gate, found a place to eat breakfast, and when they returned, the Logistics Department Minister, Zhang Jinhai, was arranging for employees to sweep the snow. Hundreds of people were working enthusiastically.
"Grandpa!" A woman's voice sounded behind them: "I'm here to report."
Zhou Andong turned his head and saw a woman missing a leg, leaning on a tree branch as thick as a baby's arm, talking to Old Zhao.
Old Zhao saw it and knew who the woman was, pointing at Zhou Andong: "The Chairman is over there."
When the woman heard this, she immediately became nervous, then leaned on the branch and moved over bit by bit: "Ch... Chairman, I'm here to report."
Zhou Andong asked: "Where is your registration form?"
"Here!" The woman hurriedly took out the registration form from her pocket and handed it to Zhou Andong.
Zhou Andong took it. The woman's name was Ji Yuehua, 26 years old, living in the Gubei District.
"So far?" Zhou Andong looked at the woman: "With such heavy snow, the buses have stopped. How did you get here?"
Ji Yuehua said nervously: "I walked."
Zhou Andong looked at the woman's leg, and his heart couldn't help but twitch: "How long did you walk?"
Ji Yuehua said: "I was afraid of being late, so I came out before dawn. I don't know how long I walked."
Gu Bing looked at his watch: "At least three hours."
Zhou Andong asked: "Who else is in your family?"
Ji Yuehua said: "My daughter and my mother-in-law!"
Zhou Andong hesitated but still asked: "Your... husband?"
Ji Yuehua said: "He died, died of illness."
"Zhang Jinhai!" Zhou Andong shouted.
When Zhang Jinhai saw it was Zhou Andong calling him, he hurriedly ran over: "Chairman, what's the matter?"
Zhou Andong said: "This comrade is named Ji Yuehua. Arrange her in your logistics department. Take her to handle the entry procedures right now."
"Alright!" Zhang Jinhai agreed and turned to leave.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, what's the rush." Zhou Andong continued: "Isn't the first floor of the cadre dormitory building empty? Arrange for someone to tidy it up, then go pick up Ji Yuehua's child and mother-in-law, and let their family live there temporarily. Otherwise, it's too far, and it's really inconvenient for her to commute."
Zhang Jinhai was stunned. He was the Minister of the Logistics Department and didn't even have the qualifications to live in the cadre building. He didn't expect a newly hired female employee to move in.
However, he quickly reacted: "Alright, I'll take her to handle the entry procedures first, and then arrange for people to tidy up the dormitory."
Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Go!"
Facing Zhou Andong, Ji Yuehua was very nervous and very grateful in her heart, but she didn't even dare to say words of thanks. She just looked at Zhou Andong deeply, then followed Zhang Jinhai away step by step.
"Tut-tut-tut..."
The sound of a four-wheeled vehicle came from the gate, and Old Zhao stood at the gate and asked: "What are you here for?"
A young man said: "We are here to sign up."
At this time, Yao Jun ran over from afar, saw a few familiar faces, and smiled, then came to Zhou Andong's side: "From Hou Tun Village."
Zhou Andong nodded: "You go handle it."
"Alright!" Yao Jun walked over: "Did you get registration forms yesterday?"
"I did!"
"I did too!"
Yao Jun said: "Give me the registration forms."
One by one, they lined up and handed the registration forms to Yao Jun.
Yao Jun took a form, looked at it, and was stunned: "You are from Hou Tun Village?"
"Yes!" A young man said: "We are all from Hou Tun."
Yao Jun sighed, looked at the crowd in front of him, and said: "I'm sorry, we don't hire people from Hou Tun Village."
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded, and the young man said excitedly: "Why?"
Yao Jun looked back, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I shouldn't say this. But you came from so far away, it's not easy. And it's very unfair to you, so I'm telling you, you must not say that I told you."
Everyone gathered around. The man who ran to sign up first yesterday said: "Comrade, rest assured, we definitely won't tell anyone else."
Yao Jun said: "A leader in our factory has a grudge against your village branch secretary, Chen Zhonghou, so he specifically gave instructions not to recruit villagers from Hou Tun Village."
