I will look at your results at the end of the year,\" Zheng Jiemin said, raising his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, the capital...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lu Qiaoshan could finish his sentence, Zheng Jiemin had already climbed into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue in frustration and let out a stifled sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without money, without capital, you can't do a damn thing in business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take it one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once the opinion paper is adopted by Sir Zheng, and if he is lucky enough for it to reach the Chairman's desk, his future career path will undoubtedly have advanced another step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, once he roots out Deep Sea, there might even be a chance to become a Deputy Station Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps even waiting until Old Wu retires, or getting rid of Old Wu... it is not impossible for him to become the Chief of the Jinhai Station himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong was eating fruit with Hong Zhiyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiaoshan is back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, come, our Jinhai Station—no, the great hero of the Party and State—come, have some fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong stood up personally to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou also put down the fruit and raised his hand with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief, I won't eat;
