Chapter 84 Chapter 84 It’s really deadly

After talking about work, Jiang Hongmei talked about the gossip of the military factory, which was somewhat related to Liu Mianmian.

"Didn't Section Chief Ding from the Technical Department lead a team to Qianjin Township to debug your equipment? He came back with a bruised face and nose. His wife was furious and threatened to cause trouble for your cannery, but Section Chief Ding insisted he accidentally fell on the road." Jiang Hongmei laughed so hard, "Who could hurt themselves like that?"

Jiang Hongmei smiled and bumped Liu Mianmian's shoulder: "Do you know what's going on?"

Liu Mianmian smiled. It was obvious that Jiang Hongmei had more to say, so she didn't want to spoil the story to discourage her from sharing gossip.

Sure enough, seeing she remained silent, Jiang Hongmei excitedly said to the curious Xu Haitang, "Guess what? Within two days, Qianjin Township called to complain to the factory leadership. They said this guy was completely out of their minds. Helping them debug the equipment was a good deed, and the township was very grateful. But on the first day of work, this guy actually cursed the cannery in front of the locals, saying it would soon go bankrupt. The locals were so angry that they punched him twice."

"People in Qianjin Township said that the township promptly stopped the incident and handled it properly. Not only did they send him for treatment, but the township head even paid for him out of his own pocket as a red envelope. What happened?"

Xu Haitang just thought that this man was really annoying and deserved to be beaten. The village chief shouldn't have given him a red envelope. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Hongmei made a speechless expression. "He opened the red envelope right then and there and said the money wasn't even enough for nutritional supplements. The villagers were furious. A junior official rushed over, snatched the red envelope back, and chased the official away. Section Chief Ding even threatened to give the junior official a hard time."

Xu Haitang couldn't believe it. Is this something a human could do?

"Isn't this Section Chief Ding the Section Chief of the Military Factory?"

A military factory is a large organization. To be able to become a section chief, he should have some ability, right?

Jiang Hongmei grew up in a military-industrial complex and had no problem with the people there: "They think they're so great, they look down on the country folk."

Her mother, Qian Aizhen, was from the countryside near Nancheng. When she first met her father through a blind date, he was still an apprentice with no parents and a penniless family.

After getting married, her father's career was like a rocket. He was first successfully promoted to a full-time employee, then received attention and training from the leaders, and then he was promoted from deputy team leader, team leader, deputy director, to director.

Originally, their family lived in a cramped bungalow with the workers, but later they moved out and lived in a tube-shaped building.

The environment of the tube-shaped building is different from that of the bungalow. Most of the people here are married couples working. For example, Ding Mingxia next door even considers herself a cultured person, so she naturally looks down on Qian Aizhen.

So she was not surprised by people like Section Chief Ding.

Some people have two different faces when it comes to their superiors and subordinates. They are as flattering to their superiors as they are arrogant to their subordinates. They look down on this and that, and naturally they don't pay attention to their words and actions.

Xu Haitang's parents were both working, and her father was a master chef. She didn't have a deep understanding of this aspect. It was only after she got married that she experienced the fickleness of the world. She sighed and said, "So this little clerk is in trouble?"

Liu Mianmian smiled and said, "That won't happen. He is the secretary promoted by the village chief."

The village just brushed the matter aside with a simple statement, “Young people act impulsively and must be seriously criticized and educated.”

In fact, is he impulsive? He is just protecting his leader and cooperating with him. It will not affect his career, and I am afraid that the leader will value him more.

However, Section Chief Ding did not pay any attention to the methods and ways when he went to the grassroots level to do things. People not only complained to the factory, but also to the higher-level authorities. The factory leaders were called in and criticized, and when they came back, they gave Section Chief Ding a disciplinary punishment.

Jiang Hongmei and Xu Haitang had dinner at Shen's house.

Eating mutton in this weather is indeed a bit dry, but the mutton soup made by Aunt Liu is really delicious. After drinking a bowl of mutton soup, I was sweating profusely, but my body felt refreshed and light.

After dinner, Jiang Hongmei and Xu Haitang went back. In Jiang Hongmei's words, if they didn't leave, Shen Weizhuo would probably take a broom and chase them away.

Before leaving, Xu Haitang remembered something: "Oh, by the way, a few days ago, a gay man with a Hong Kong accent came to the Western restaurant looking for you, but I didn't see him. Xiaotian said he was an old customer. He didn't leave any contact information, just said he would come back to see you. But he hasn't come in the past few days."

Liu Mianmian knew without hesitation that it must be Li Yaoming. She only knew this customer with a Hong Kong accent.

"Okay, I know who it is. Next time he comes to the store, ask him to call me directly." Liu Mianmian said.

In fact, she and Li Yaoming had talked on the phone several times before, and Li Yaoming had her number. She didn't know why this man didn't call her when he came back.

After seeing Jiang Hongmei and the others off, Liu Mianmian talked with Yu Wan and Aunt Liu for a while before returning to the east wing.

After glancing at Shen Weizhuo who was sitting at the desk, Liu Mianmian turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and sighed comfortably.

The road conditions are not good these days. Even the provincial roads are bumpy and patched up. It is really tiring to ride in a car.

When Shen Weizhou came back from washing up and saw her like this, he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Are you tired?"

Liu Mianmian leaned on the pillow and nodded, sighing: "It's so hard to achieve a small goal!"

Shen Weizhou raised his eyebrows: "A small goal, how much is it?"

He knew that his wife seemed to have a goal of making money. She had an account book and recorded her accounts every month. While doing so, she would mutter about how much she still needed.

Judging from the speed at which she was making money, Shen Weizhuo guessed that this goal should not be small. After all, in just one year, let alone becoming a millionaire, she would conservatively be close to becoming a millionaire.

I have to admit that his wife has some talent for making money.

Liu Mianmian slowly extended an index finger.

One million?

Judging from her appearance, it shouldn't be the case. After all, the stocks that my aunt helps to manage in Hong Kong are said to be worth almost one million.

Not only was he surprised by this incident, but his parents were also very surprised.

If it’s not one million, then it can only be: “Ten million?”

Shen Weizhuo was still a little dazed when he said this.

His grandmother actually left a lot of things to the family, but apart from real estate, there were some jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, etc. The only thing that could be exchanged for money was a small box of yellow croaker.

If we really talk about cash, their family actually only has a few tens of thousands of yuan, part of which is the salary their parents received after being sent down to the countryside.

A deposit of tens of thousands of yuan is already a lot in this era.

But ever since Liu Mianmian started doing business, Shen Weizhuo felt that his concept of money had been refreshed.

What's the big deal about being a 10,000 yuan household? Even one million is not a big goal in his wife's eyes.

So he thought Liu Mianmian's goal might be 10 million.

However, just as he finished speaking, Shen Weizhou saw Liu Mianmian shaking the finger she raised and said with a smile: "No."

Shen Weizhou: "..."

so?

Liu Mianmian: "A small goal is 100 million."

Even though he had guessed it, Shen Weizhuo still found it incredible: "Your goal is to earn 100 million?" There are probably only a handful of state-owned factories in South City that can earn that much every year.

Liu Mianmian emphasized: "It's a temporary small goal."

After entering the 1990s, the domestic market will be more active and there will be more opportunities to make money. Even if she doesn't work hard to make money, I believe her partners will work hard.

So Liu Mianmian felt that she would definitely become a billionaire in the future.

Shen Weizhou's mouth twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, then you do your best."

If his wife said she wanted to earn 10 million, Shen Weizhuo might have thought about it, but when she said she wanted to earn 100 million, Shen Weizhuo simply gave it no thought.

Anyway, it's something that can't be accomplished in a short time, so let her do as she pleases.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, the couple talked for a while and then turned off the lights and went to bed. Soon, the sound of panting that made people blush and feel hot was heard in the dark room.

The moon was high outside the window, dark clouds sometimes blocked the moonlight, and then dispersed, and the night gradually deepened.

Although Xu Haitang came to report the situation, Liu Mianmian, as the boss, still went to the Western restaurant, fried chicken shop and video hall the next day.

There were too many stores, and it was impossible for her to go to each one, so she randomly picked a few to look at, and then went to store number one on Chenxi Road.

I met Wu Heng at the gate.

The dance hall's business was all at night, and Wu Heng had nothing to do during the day, so he simply took turns patrolling the store.

If he didn't have a motorcycle, he would be exhausted after visiting more than a dozen stores.

Of course, even if he had a motorcycle, he would not visit more than a dozen stores every day. He would randomly pick a few to visit in turn.

They are running a legitimate business, have gone through the formal procedures and obtained licenses, and never broadcast any messy stuff, so it is not that tiring to manage them.

However, Wu Heng also discovered that there were too many stores, and he also had a dance hall, so it was definitely not possible for him to manage it alone, so he planned to hire a few more people.

Come to think of it, Wu Heng used to think that there were a lot of people around him who couldn't find a job and were just hanging around. The dance hall could arrange for a few of them, but it would be a drop in the bucket.

As soon as the video hall opened, Liu Mianmian directly threw the recruitment task to him. He carefully selected a group of people, and then found that except for those who were really unable to be helped, all the people around him who were slightly more useful had been arranged to work.

He has even recently started placing job advertisements in newspapers, following Liu Mianmian's example.

They really wanted to poach Xu Haitang. On the one hand, Xu Haitang was really capable, but on the other hand, they couldn't help but feel empty and uncomfortable.

Wu Heng was a little curious about how much salary Liu Mianmian paid Xu Haitang, or how many benefits she gave him. How could Xu Haitang get up early and work late every day and do it so willingly and happily?

Liu Mianmian had no idea what Wu Heng was thinking. She looked around the motorcycle parked in front of Store No. 1 and said, "That's pretty cool, Boss Wu."

It is difficult to buy a private car and get a driver's license these days. Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Mianmian is reluctant to spend such a large sum of money on buying a car for the time being. It would be better to invest the money in the stock market in Hong Kong City. The stock market there can still be prosperous for another year, and she can make a lot of money.

However, it is really inconvenient not to have a car, and the time cost of transportation is very high.

Liu Mianmian was thinking to herself that she would find a way to get a car next year.

I don’t even consider riding a motorcycle because I don’t know how to drive one.

Of course, this doesn't affect her envy.

Just imagine Wu Heng driving a motorcycle to inspect more than a dozen video halls. How cool would that be?

When the weather gets cooler, wear a leather jacket and leather boots... then you'll definitely be a western cowboy.

Thinking of this, Liu Mianmian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wu Heng looked puzzled.

Xiao Wu, a staff member from the No. 1 store, ran out and said, "Brother Wu." He then greeted Liu Mianmian, "Boss Liu."

Xiao Wu saw that both bosses were there and was worried that it would be inconvenient to talk in the store, so he ran out to report.

"That person has been here for two or three days now. Every time he looks at every room upstairs and downstairs, he leaves immediately after he's done looking. He doesn't watch TV, doesn't buy anything, and hasn't booked a private room."

The summary is: "He doesn't look like a good person."

Wu Heng frowned. The video hall was a novelty, especially their No. 1 store, which was quite unique. It was normal for people to come and visit, but this was the first time he had seen something like this.

"Could it be Sun Zhou's grandson?" Wu Heng immediately denied his guess, "It shouldn't be that grandson. If he can make quick money, he won't be content to make it peacefully. Why would he need to send people to our place to investigate?"

Wu Heng naturally knew about the situation of the Metropolitan Video Hall. He heard that its business was booming recently thanks to its erotic films.

Wu Heng would have loved to, since they didn't do that kind of business anyway. In Liu Mianmian's words, those people were not their "target customers", so it would have been better to let Sun Zhou make money from these people, so that that grandson wouldn't have nothing better to do and come up with bad ideas to cause trouble for them.

"Someone must be curious about our business model. It's okay. As long as the other party doesn't do anything detrimental to our store and doesn't affect other customers, let him watch." Liu Mianmian said.

It's normal for some people to be curious.

However, the market in South City is basically saturated for the time being. They are the ones for normal movie watching, and Metropolis is the one for abnormal movie watching. They all have their own fixed audiences, so it is difficult to get in and grab a piece of the pie now.

Liu Mianmian believed that anyone with a little business sense would not do such a stupid thing.

As for those who have no business acumen, there is even less need to be afraid.

Moreover, if the other party can learn their business model, can't they continue to update it?

However, Liu Mianmian still praised Xiao Wu.

No. 1 Store has such a large number of customers every day, and he was able to carefully observe the abnormality of that person, which shows that he is serious and responsible in his work and can report it in time, fearing that the other party will cause losses to the store. It shows that he has a sense of identity and belonging to this store. Regardless of whether the situation he reports is important or not, Liu Mianmian is ready to reward him.

Xiao Wu was so happy to be praised that his face lit up with smiles, while Wu Heng felt a pain in his teeth watching from the side.

The little brother who used to follow him around happily now acted as if he had seen the God of Wealth when he saw Liu Mianmian.

Xiao Wu turned around with a smile and prepared to go back to work. He looked up and saw two people walking towards him from the other end of the alley. He immediately ran back to Liu Mianmian and the others like a monkey, winking and whispering, "That's the guy, the one walking towards him. He's wearing bell-bottom pants and a tight-fitting shirt. He doesn't look like a good person."

Liu Mianmian looked over, and when she saw the man clearly, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

This is terrible, isn’t this Comrade Li Yaoming?

He used to wear a loose-fitting suit and a striped T-shirt, and he seemed to have good taste in clothes. How come he started wearing tight T-shirts after not seeing him for a year?

Oh, no wonder Xiao Wu said he doesn’t look like a good person.
