Chapter 744: This trend must not rise

Wu Chao drove the RV, Zhou Andong drove the Mercedes, and followed Wu Hongkang, the local snake, to find an old hot pot restaurant.

A few people, plus Wu Chao, sat in a circle around the table.

Zhou Andong looked up at the old ceiling fan creaking above his head.

"Old Wu, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Wu Hongkang was stunned and hurriedly denied: "No, absolutely not."

Zhou Andong sighed: "Since there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, on such a hot day, you treat me to hot pot?"

Wu Hongkang laughed loudly: "Chairman Zhou, you have wronged me. This is an old shop, the taste is better than Donglaishun, you will know after tasting it in a while."

"Okay then!" Zhou Andong nodded very reluctantly.

Wu Hongkang took out cigarettes and passed them around, then personally lit the cigarette for Zhou Andong.

"Lian Xiangzhi held a press conference and donated 200,000 to the families of the victims of the Shencheng explosion accident."

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette and chuckled: "Wait, there will be a good show to watch."

Thinking of Zhou Andong's words, Wu Hongkang shivered: "Seeing him hold a press conference, I was moved, so I called Old Zhang to ask what he meant."

Speaking of this, Wu Hongkang sighed very emotionally, "At that time, he said, let me ask you. After all, we are partners, and you were at the Shencheng accident scene and participated in the search and rescue, so we must not leave you, our partner, behind."

Zhou Andong sneered: "You were used as a gun by him, and you still feel very proud."

"You can't say it like that." Wu Hongkang was still very generous, "If I hadn't been used as a gun by him, I might have done the wrong thing, and finally let myself and the winery fall into prison."

Zhou Andong looked at Wu Hongkang: "Don't you want to earn back the five thousand yuan from Zhang Shenghui?"

Wu Hongkang's eyes lit up: "How to earn it back? That old fox is not as sincere as me, asking for five thousand and giving it."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes: "Aren't you quite generous?"

Wu Hongkang chuckled: "No matter how generous, I can't go against money."

Zhou Andong pondered: "It's not easy to make that old fox pay money obediently. Like this, don't answer his calls, don't let him find you. The day after tomorrow, go with me to the school to accompany my sister to take the college entrance exam."

"Accompany your sister to take the college entrance exam?" Wu Hongkang was confused.

"Yes!" Zhou Andong flicked the cigarette ash, "I guarantee that in the end, Zhang Shenghui will definitely run over to find you in person. By then, you can set the price as you like."

"Is it that simple?" Wu Hongkang didn't quite believe it.

"Yes!" Zhou Andong nodded, "It's that simple."

"Okay!" Wu Hongkang waved his hand very righteously, "Don't wait for the day after tomorrow, I'll go to the school with you tomorrow."

Zhou Andong grinned: "But there is one point, if you go, our lunch and dinner must be your treat."

"I..."

Wu Hongkang didn't speak for a long time, and even when the pot came up, he didn't use his chopsticks.

Zhou Andong was a little hungry, picked up a plate of lamb, and poured it into the pot: "Come, come, don't be stunned, eat."

………………

In Shencheng, Fang Qiao slept for most of the day. Dinner was arranged in Shencheng in the evening. After eating, she strolled around the hotel and couldn't sleep no matter what when she came back.

She went out of the room alone, came to the hotel lobby, found a newspaper in the rest area, opened it, and saw the news of Lian Xiangzhi's donation.

This is the Shencheng Evening News, look at the date, it's today's.

A smile appeared on Fang Qiao's face, and the smile became brighter and brighter.

She was still pondering how to let the Shencheng side leak the news of their donation without leaving a trace.

Now she doesn't have to do anything. Donating 200,000 and being so high-profile will definitely cause dissatisfaction on the Shencheng side.

If there was no example of the Yugong Group, and no words she said today, even if the Shencheng side was dissatisfied, they wouldn't say anything.

But it's afraid of comparison. One doesn't seek fame or profit, just silently paying, no matter who it is, they will like it.

The other didn't donate much, but jumped up and down, using this explosion accident to make an article, playing the emotional card, and establishing a persona for himself.

Such a big accident, as a leader, has responsibility. Lian Xiangzhi doing this is magnifying the accident, and it's strange if the leader is happy in his heart.

The next day, Cao Guohong came to the office, the secretary had already poured the tea and placed the newspaper on the desk.

"Is there any news?"

After seeing Fang Qiao yesterday, he went to the hospital to comfort the survivors and injured people in the explosion accident, and it was very late when he got home. He hadn't paid attention to the news for several days.

"There is no news worth paying attention to." The secretary was about to leave, but took back the foot he had stepped out, "However, Lian Xiangzhi held a press conference and donated 200,000 to the families of the explosion victims."

"Hmm?"

Cao Guohong opened the newspaper, found the news about Lian Xiangzhi, and his face sank immediately.

"Whether it's being a person or doing things, only by hiding without revealing can one go far. Living in the world, one should understand the wisdom of restraining brilliance and containing spirit. The greater the pattern of a person, the more they understand the wisdom of hiding.

As the saying goes, the dull often show off, and the smart often restrain. Those with talent are masters, and those who don't show off are high people. Low-key self-restraint is the philosophy of achieving great things, not being proud or showing off, which is the wise man of life.

Doing things, only by being humble and restrained, silently accumulating strength, can one laugh to the end. Lian Xiangzhi, compared with Zhou Andong, is far inferior in both breadth of mind and wisdom."

The secretary said with a smile: "Lian Xiangzhi, indeed, is also very talented. But the talent of a gentleman should be hidden like jade and pearls, not easily known by others. It is a good thing to be talented, but if you always show off in front of others, good things will turn into bad things.

Looking at the past and present, how many heroes have ended up in a miserable situation, all because they don't understand the wisdom of hiding their edge."

Cao Guohong also laughed: "What do you think about this matter?"

The secretary said without hesitation: "This trend must not rise. It's not to say that his donation is wrong, nor that he donated too little. Lian Xiangzhi is not really doing charity, nor does he want to really donate money.

Instead, he is using charity as a guise, treating charity as an advertisement, which is a very bad example. Just like what Manager Fang said yesterday, Lian Xiangzhi is eating human blood buns.

Therefore, this phenomenon should be severely criticized, and the Yugong Group should be highly praised. Let everyone understand that being a person and doing charity must have a bottom line."

Cao Guohong pondered: "You go and contact the media."

The secretary asked: "Do you want to greet Manager Fang?"

"No!" Cao Guohong waved his hand, "Yesterday, she expressed that no publicity is needed. If I tell her, she might be embarrassed."

"Also!" The secretary nodded and turned out of the office.
