~7 min read 1,386 words

August 1, 1993, the 14th day of the sixth lunar month, Sunday!

After nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Andong had been playing with Su Su for a while; just as he was about to go out to find Yuan Hongbiao in the town, he didn't expect Meng Tong Huai Zhi and Zhao Jin to suddenly stop at the main gate.

Then, he saw Gu Qing and the others return, and several dozen people swarmed into the courtyard. The courtyard, which had been very quiet, suddenly became lively.

"Oh my, two leaders coming together, it really surprises and frightens me."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi smiled and looked at Zhao Jin beside him: "Did you hear that? This is dissatisfaction with our work; the way he speaks is so sarcastic."

"You say that, and it makes me even more uneasy." Zhou Andong had an innocent face: "When talking to you, how would I dare to be sarcastic."

"Chairman Zhou, we came here to apologize to you." Zhao Jin opened his mouth, his expression very serious, "It is that our work was not done well, and we didn't attach enough importance to the public security situation, which caused you to fall into danger.

This is our responsibility; we will not shirk it, and here, I solemnly promise you that such things will absolutely not happen again in the future. If it happens again, I will resign in disgrace."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi also nodded: "Ma Huangshang has been shot dead, and most of the core members of his criminal gang have been caught. The brothers Sun Hexin and Sun Hewen, and their gang members, have also all been arrested and brought to justice.

This is not the end; next, we will carry out a long-term, sustained high-pressure crackdown operation, insisting on clearing out social tumors and returning a clean living environment to the common people."

Zhou Andong was indeed a bit angry in his heart, but it wasn't as serious as Meng Tong Huai Zhi thought.

After all, people had come to his door; if he didn't say a few words, he would be letting himself down.

"Leader, I really wasn't angry." Zhou Andong explained in a tone he didn't even believe himself, "On a person's body, it's possible to have a few patches of ringworm, let alone a city, such a big place, it's normal to produce a bit of garbage.

Just clean it up; there's really no need to run over from so far away to apologize to me, making my little heart feel uneasy."

"Stop being pretentious." Jian Qiu said from the side, "Leader, let's go inside and talk."

"Good, good, good!" Meng Tong Huai Zhi hurriedly agreed, then glanced at Zhou Andong, "Look, Chairman Jian is still the magnanimous one."

Zhou Andong curled his lips and muttered: "I really don't know if you came to apologize or to scrounge a meal; every time you catch this time."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi and Zhao Jin acted as if they didn't hear it and walked into the house.

"Chairman!" Gu Qing walked over, "The contract was signed last night, and cooperative relationships were established with the four major banks respectively."

Zhou Andong asked: "Which bank is our loan from?"

"My meaning was that cooperating with one of them would be enough, but the presidents of the four banks almost fought."

Gu Qing gave a wry smile: "There's no way, I could only divide the land into four pieces for mortgage and take out loans from their four banks. As for the housing loans, I have already made it clear to them, letting the customers choose for themselves."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Just watch, when our building opens for sale, these four banks will definitely arrange people at the sales office to snatch customers."

"Actually, this is pretty good." Gu Qing said: "For the sake of competition, they will definitely launch the most favorable policies, which is a good thing for customers."

Zhou Andong asked: "When are you going back?"

"Leaving tomorrow!"

Gu Qing raised her hand and tucked the hair on her forehead behind her head.

"I will let the Vice President Yan Zhengbin be responsible for this project; after going back, I will let him bring people over to establish a branch company and recruit personnel."

"In another ten days or so, I have to go back too."

Zhou Andong said, looking at Zhang Jianquan, only to see Comrade Xiao Yin talking with a face full of smiles, and Comrade Old Zhang with a face of hopelessness.

"Old Zhang!" Zhou Andong shouted.

Hearing Zhou Andong's shout, Zhang Jianquan was like grabbing a life-saving straw and ran over quickly.

"Chairman!"

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Jianquan sighed: "What else could it be, the construction project for the water plant was given to him, but he has no one in his hands, so he's borrowing from me."

Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "Who told you that your family business is big; just lend him some people first, and when his company gets on the right track, he'll return the people to you."

"Exactly!" Yin Jisheng walked over, "And I'm only borrowing those who have retired at home; I'm not borrowing a single one who is on the job, so what are you unwilling about."

Zhang Jianquan said unhappily: "Chunhui Company borrowed quite a few people, and you came to me to scrounge again; what's the matter, am I a base for you to cultivate talent?

And you only want retired ones; you have an ugly appearance, but your thoughts are quite beautiful. Those old engineers and old technicians are all treasures in our First Construction, and those who can walk and move have all been re-employed.

They are also busy in various project groups every day, so how could they run here with you; even if those old gentlemen agreed, their children wouldn't agree either."

Yin Jisheng looked at Zhou Andong with a bitter face: "Chairman, look..."

Zhou Andong was also helpless: "Old Zhang, the water plant project is very important; think of a way. Chunhui Company is already on the right track; if it doesn't work, withdraw some people from there, and you arrange some?"

"Fine!" Zhang Jianquan sighed: "My little family foundation will be emptied by you sooner or later."

Zhou Andong comforted him: "Don't worry, when he finds suitable talent and the company is perfected, he will return the people to you."

"Hmph!" Zhang Jianquan snorted: "Anyway, I just feel that once people are borrowed, it's like a meat bun hitting a dog; there's no return."

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit one for Zhang Jianquan; Comrade Xiao Yin also wanted one with a thick face, but Zhou Andong pushed his hand away.

"Look at how angry you made our Zhang Zong; you still want to smoke, stay on the side."

"Alright!" Yin Jisheng gave a silly laugh: "As long as Zhang Zong can lend me people, I can disappear in front of him forever."

Saying this, this guy turned around and went into the house.

Zhou Andong patted Zhang Jianquan on the shoulder: "Alright, stop being angry; when the time comes, if he doesn't give you people, I'll go ask for them."

Zhang Jianquan gave a wry smile: "I'm not angry either; everyone says my family business is big, but the amount of engineering is also big now, and I'm rushing the construction schedule every day. If it weren't for a bit of foundation, it would really be very troublesome."

Zhang Jianquan agreed, so Zhou Andong changed the subject: "Did you talk to the construction company in Qi City?"

"Talked!" Zhang Jianquan nodded: "The shopping plaza was subcontracted to Qi City Third Construction; the president is called Mu Dequan, who once studied abroad at the Saint Petersburg University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (renamed Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in June 1993).

To tell you the truth, in the field of architecture, compared to others, our First Construction is far inferior. The remaining first-phase residential construction project was subcontracted to their First Construction and Second Construction."

Zhou Andong's eyes lit up: "Old Zhang, you say, is there any possibility of poaching this Mu Dequan, or acquiring Third Construction."
