Chapter 56: Zuo Peiming's anger

The conference room was suddenly quiet, and then the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor came one after another. The creaking sound was very harsh.

No one cared about Zhou Andong anymore. Gao Qingkui stepped out, Zhang Zui followed with his arm, and then Qu Hongqi. Soon, except for Gu Bing, Qian Zhen, Jian Qiu, and Yan Guohai, everyone else left.

Yan Guohai looked worried. He originally thought that good days were coming, but he didn't expect that the crisis had just begun. Especially just now, Gao Qingkui didn't even look at him, and Zhang Zui's cold eyes made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Secretary, what should we do now?"

"Don't be so worried." Gu Bing said, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. What are you afraid of?"

Qian Zhen stood up, "The leader has come to inspect, let's go and see too."

Jian Qiu and Qian Zhen looked at each other with tacit understanding, "Hmm, I also think we should go and see."

From afar, Gao Qingkui said, "Leader, why didn't you notify us in advance when you came? We could have made some preparations."

Zuo Peiming said lightly, "I just came to see, what is there to prepare?"

Gao Qingkui felt the coldness of Zuo Peiming's attitude towards him, which was completely different from before, making his heart go up and down.

"Leader, go to the conference room and sit for a while, and give us a few words?"

Zuo Peiming said, "There's nothing to say, let's go to the workshop and see first."

Gao Qingkui's body suddenly stiffened, "Production has stopped."

"Stopped production?" Zuo Peiming frowned, "Isn't Jiangzhou Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor very popular? Why stop production?"

Zhang Zui's heart moved, and he secretly shouted that the opportunity had come, "Leader, you don't ask about this, but I was also preparing to report to you."

Zuo Peiming frowned even deeper, "Speak!"

Zhang Zui said with a face full of regret, "These two days, the phones in the supply and marketing department have been blown up, all by people ordering Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor. But Secretary Gu has been suppressing it and not letting it be sold, saying something about insufficient inventory. Isn't this talking nonsense with eyes open? There are eighty tons in the warehouse. If it were supplied openly, maybe we could resume work tomorrow."

Gao Qingkui sighed, "This reform was led by Comrade Gu Bing, and we can't easily intervene. All the factory employees are looking forward to resuming work, but eighty tons of liquor are pressed in the warehouse and not sold, so we can't resume work. To tell you the truth, I can't understand it either."

The two sang in harmony, starting to put eye drops on Gu Bing.

Zuo Peiming looked up at the crowd, "Where is Comrade Gu Bing?"

"Leader, over here." Gu Bing shouted from behind the crowd.

The crowd parted a path, and Gu Bing, Jian Qiu, and Qian Zhen walked over. Yan Guohai didn't have the courage to lean forward and hid behind the crowd.

Seeing Gu Bing, a smile appeared on Zuo Peiming's face. He took the initiative to reach out and said, "I have two purposes for coming this time. One is to see the production situation of the winery, and the other is to see you and Comrade Zhou Andong."

Hearing Zuo Peiming mention Zhou Andong, everyone's expression changed. Especially Gao Qingkui, Zhang Zui, and Qu Hongqi, a chill ran from their spines to the top of their heads.

Qu Hongqi looked at Gao Qingkui and Zhang Zui, quietly took a few steps back, and then turned and ran.

Gu Bing shook hands with Zuo Peiming, "Leader, let me explain the problem of Factory Director Gao and Deputy Factory Director Zhang to you. The liquor isn't not being sold, but for the sake of product positioning and follow-up marketing."

"Positioning and marketing!" Zuo Peiming became interested, "Tell me about it."

Gu Bing said with a smile, "This is a plan made by Comrade Zhou Andong. He just mentioned it to me briefly, and he has to explain the details himself."

A trace of a smile appeared on Jian Qiu's face. Gu Bing was finally smart for once, knowing how to borrow strength to fight.

Zuo Peiming scanned the surrounding crowd, "Is Comrade Zhou Andong here?"

Gu Bing said, "Zhou Andong is not here. He made a mistake and was caught by the security department. Just now, Factory Director Gao held a meeting of all cadres, passed a show-of-hands vote, fired Zhou Andong, and prepared to escort him to the judicial organ."

Gao Qingkui and Zhang Zui felt dark before their eyes and almost fainted. They stood straight with effort, and then felt Zuo Peiming's cold gaze looking over.

"What mistake did he make that is so serious that he is not only fired but also sent to the judicial organ?"

"This is serious." The expression on Gu Bing's face was very serious, "This morning, at the winery gate, Zhou Andong beat up a few hooligans. Chang Kezhang Qu Hongqi of the security department was very angry and very strongly demanded severe punishment for Zhou Andong."

"And most of the factory cadres also believe that Zhou Andong gathered a crowd to fight at the winery gate, which is destroying social harmony and stability and has brought great negative impact to our factory. So they all support driving this black sheep out of the winery to give the vast number of employees a clean and safe living and production environment."

"Nonsense!" Zuo Peiming was angry. He looked at the people around him with a livid face. Everyone was scared, and all lowered their heads. Especially Liu Zhiguang, who almost peed his pants, bent down, lowered his head, and was very afraid that Zuo Peiming would see him.

"Gao Qingkui, you are an old cadre, an old Party member, and an old factory director, virtuous and respected, and you are about to retire. I have left you face again and again, and this is how you treat my trust in you?"

Gao Qingkui's old face was as pale as paper, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead. Zhang Zui's throat rolled, and he secretly moved his feet backward, as if Zuo Peiming wouldn't see him this way.

"This is simply unreasonable!" Zuo Peiming was furious, "Beating a few hooligans, and you make a mountain out of a molehill to fire him. What is your intention?"

The scene was silent. Gu Bing was about to say something, but was suddenly pinched by Jian Qiu, and swallowed the words that reached his mouth.

Zuo Peiming let out a heavy snort, "Comrade Gu Bing, take me to see Zhou Andong."

Qu Hongqi ran back to the security department and saw Zhou Andong handcuffed. He asked with dissatisfaction, "Who told you to handcuff him?"

A security guard said aggrievedly, "I was afraid he would run away, so I handcuffed him."

"Open his handcuffs." Qu Hongqi didn't dwell on this issue anymore and said to Zhou Andong, "You can go."

Zhou Andong blinked, and a playful smile hooked the corner of his mouth. Letting him go, he actually wanted to let him go. But no matter how he looked at it, Qu Hongqi didn't look like he had senile dementia, so something must have happened, and it was about him, so this guy couldn't wait to let him go.

"Hey? What are you doing?" Zhou Andong raised his hands, dodging the security guard who was about to open his handcuffs, "What's wrong? Is this security department opened by your Qu Hongqi family? You say control me and you control me, you say handcuff and you handcuff, you say open and you open, you say let go and you let go. Do you think I, Zhou Andong, am made of mud, to be rounded or flattened as you please?"

Looking at Zhou Andong sitting there in a slouch, Qu Hongqi's eyes twitched violently. It was mainly because he was afraid. He knew the truth about today's matter. If it were really investigated, his career as a section chief would be over.

"We have already investigated. It was those little hooligans who deliberately provoked, and you were just acting in self-defense."

"No, no, no!" Zhou Andong shook his head vigorously, "That Zhang Xingfei is innocent. I beat him, so I must accept legal sanctions. As the saying goes, a hero does what a hero does, how can I just walk away?" ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
