Chapter 133

Lately, the Yang family father and son have felt that nothing they do is going smoothly.

As for Deputy Factory Director Yang, for some reason, every time he had dinner with leaders from other places who came to discuss cooperation and conduct inspections, Ji Xingguo would send two newly transferred trade officers to accompany him.

It was as if Ji Xingguo had specially sent a spy to keep an eye on him.

This made it difficult for him to say certain things to people's faces, and he couldn't accept certain "local specialties" and "red envelopes" in person.

The only option is to wait until after the dinner party, and then secretly find an opportunity to send a trusted subordinate to make the contact.

However, even someone as cautious and prudent as Deputy Factory Director Yang Hua, who had always been careful and prudent, wouldn't feel entirely at ease if the money passed through someone else's hands, even if it was someone he trusted.

Moreover, the more people who know about this, the more unsafe it becomes.

Therefore, he hasn't been able to "take good care" of the salespeople from the other company in recent times, and their expressions when they left clearly showed dissatisfaction.

Those who come to Dongfang Factory to discuss cooperation are either trying to sell their technology to the factory.

Either they wanted to get the goods from the factory so they could get a lower price from Deputy Factory Director Yang.

Previously, Deputy Factory Director Yang held absolute power. Of course, he could deceive his superiors and subordinates about everything, from the price quotes for purchasing machines and technology to the pricing of sales.

Now that there are two more eyes around, Deputy Factory Director Yang feels extremely constrained.

Yang Zhiping felt the same way, feeling that everything he did lately was unlucky.

He originally intended to support Zuo Quangui and his son, allowing Deputy Director Zuo to replace Director Wang.

Unexpectedly, on that night, Deputy Director Zuo fell asleep while on duty. A machine in the workshop malfunctioned, and he was supposed to repair it. However, because he fell asleep, he missed the best time to repair it, which caused serious losses to the entire production line that the machine was responsible for.

Afterwards, the factory leaders held a meeting and removed Zuo from his position as deputy director, demoting him to a first-level maintenance worker and fining him three months' salary.

The Zuo family father and son suddenly lost all their usefulness.

Yang Zhiping not only took a punch from Lei Tingjun for Zuo Quangui for nothing, but in the end, he didn't even get any useful connections.

It's a complete loss of both money and people.

That's not all. In the office of the Foreign Sales Department, several female staff members originally had a very good impression of Yang Zhiping.

She would secretly try to please him, giving him apples or other snacks and necessities and slipping them into his desk.

Yang Zhiping understood the thoughts of those female clerks perfectly well, although he himself would not date them and would never marry them.

But Yang Zhiping thoroughly enjoyed being fawned over and surrounded by women like this.

That gave him immense enjoyment and satisfaction for his male ego and vanity.

But in the last two days, for some reason, those female staff members suddenly changed their tune. They stopped bringing Yang Zhiping fruit and food when they came to work during the day, and they often secretly gathered together to whisper and point at Yang Zhiping.

Yang Zhiping frowned. He didn't know what had happened, but it was definitely something detrimental to him.

Until that day, Yang Zhiping received a letter from Guangzhou.

The letter was sent by a woman.

She was his girlfriend when he was studying at Guangzhou University.

That's right, Yang Zhiping actually had a girlfriend, and the two hadn't broken up before he returned to Pingquan County.

When Yang Zhiping left Guangzhou, he lied to his girlfriend there, saying that he was going back to inherit the family business and that he would come back to pick her up and introduce her to his parents after he had settled everything at home.

However, after Yang Zhiping returned to Pingquan County, he met Ji Wanmei and was so amazed by her beauty that he immediately decided to dump his girlfriend in Guangzhou and pursue Ji Wanmei instead.

Although he met his girlfriend when he was studying at university in Guangzhou, she was not a local of Guangzhou.

Like Yang Zhiping, she was also admitted through examinations in other districts and counties, and her family's financial situation was far worse than Ji Wanmei's.

Most importantly.

The university that Yang Zhiping was admitted to was not a prestigious university at all.

The university is indeed quite well-known locally, but the major Yang Zhiping studied actually had very low admission scores at that university, and there was even a policy of easing the score requirements for students from other regions.

It's like he went to an agricultural college to study medicine, while he went to a vocational business college to study mechanical application technology.

This is utter nonsense!

Therefore, Yang Zhiping's title of being a student from a prestigious university is highly dubious.

Yang Zhiping went to Guangzhou because of the low score requirement.

If Beijing and Shanghai had well-known universities that relaxed their admission score requirements, Yang Zhiping might have gone there.

But I digress. Let's talk about Yang Zhiping's girlfriend, who lives far away in Guangzhou.

Seeing that Yang Zhiping had been gone for more than a month without any news, she worried that he would not keep his promise, so she finally decided to come to Pingquan County to find Yang Zhiping herself.

When Yang Zhiping left, he did not leave his girlfriend his home address.

However, from the moment he entered university, he intentionally or unintentionally flaunted that he was the factory director's son, so he told his girlfriend about the existence of the Oriental Factory.

The female classmate didn't have to put in much effort to find out about the Dongfang Daily Chemical Factory in Pingquan County.

She first wrote a letter, and then told Yang Zhiping in her heart that she would arrive in Pingquan County by car next Friday and asked Yang Zhiping to pick her up.

For some reason, by some strange twist of fate, the letter was delivered far too slowly.

By the time it was delivered to Yang Zhiping, a week had already passed.

Yang Zhiping's girlfriend in Guangzhou has already come to Pingquan County.
