"He is capable of great use."
"This person is of great use, not within the system, but outside of it. Such a person won't have much of a future within the system; in fact, he might even create a climate of fear among everyone, because his presence makes everyone's achievements seem less impressive. And he's a smart man; without hesitation, he jumped out of this system."
"Then for those within the system, he is a treasure trove."
"Now that there's no competition, tell me how much benefit that kid from the Dongfang family has gained."
Xu Yuanchao said leisurely, "Dad, you've made quite a bit of money too."
Xu's father: ...
"In short, for those within the system, with such a treasure here, everyone has to protect it. That Xu Jiaguo actually thought of destroying this treasure." At this point, Xu's father shook his head; "He's too short-sighted, only seeing what's in front of him. However, this also has to do with personal ability. As Li Weiguo's secretary, he can't even see through the intricacies of this situation. All these years as a secretary have been a waste. You should divorce your friend as soon as possible."
"When these kinds of people realize they can't change the situation, they'll take it out on their own family members."
Xu Weiwei couldn't help but clench her fists tighter.
Yunmeng has always been her best friend, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her best friend.
When Yunmeng recounted her experiences over the years that day, she already knew that Xu Jiaguo was beyond saving.
After he took over as Wang Shouren's chief secretary in 1979, his official power grew stronger day by day. Yunmeng told her that he had changed and was no longer the person who was willing to live a simple life with just the two of them.
His father passed away in 1973, and his mother followed him in 1975.
After that, no one could restrain his ambition.
Although Yunmeng and he have a son and a daughter, Xu Jiaguo doesn't care much about them. All he cares about is his job, or rather, his position.
Especially after 1979, Yunmeng even discovered that he seemed to have someone else outside.
This is why Yunmeng gradually became haggard and turned into that appearance.
Originally a proud daughter of heaven, she was willing to stay at home to be a good wife and mother, but what she got in return was her husband's betrayal. Yunmeng's tears that day were still vivid in her mind, and Qin Jingru's way of persuading her to break up without saying a word was something she longed for.
With Wang Shouren, Qin Jingru seemed to never need to consider gender hierarchy; as long as she believed something was right, she would speak it out. Wang Shouren was the same. Looking at Qin Jingru, then at Yunmeng, Xu Weiwei made a decision in her heart.
At the end of 1983, Xiao Rizi happily returned home after acquiring Dayun Motorcycle Factory. Meanwhile, Dayun Motorcycle Factory was also relocating, moving many of its assets to the adjacent industrial park. The industrial park that Wang Shouren had promised to build after discussions with Dongfang Fuxing was also successfully completed. This location could now be considered a relatively prosperous area. Mainly, the factory workers earned relatively high wages and had purchasing power.
The factory situation was quite complicated, and he couldn't find a suitable person to oversee it for the time being. However, these days were considered the handover period for the factory. Having no other choice, he had to personally go to Li Weiguo's office to ask for leave.
When he knocked on Li Weiguo's office door, for some reason, he felt uneasy.
After a "Come in" was heard from inside.
Xu Jiaguo walked in carrying some documents. In any case, he was Li Weiguo's secretary and had a large number of documents to process every day.
"Just put it down." Li Weiguo said without looking up as he dealt with the things.
It was only then that Xu Jiaguo noticed that there was another middle-aged man sitting in the room, whose demeanor clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person.
However, Xu Jiaguo couldn't care less about that at the moment.
He began, "Sir, regarding the handover of the Dayun Motorcycle Factory, who should be in charge of the handover?"
Li Weiguo looked up, and Xu Jiaguo felt a little nervous when he saw his eyes, but he quickly composed himself and waited for Li Weiguo's reply.
Time ticked by, and Li Weiguo casually flipped through the documents, glancing at them: "Have you reached an agreement with the foreign investors?"
"Yes, they transferred the payment to Wang Shouren's account that same day. As for how Wang Shouren handled it, I don't know."
The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa chuckled.
Li Weiguo glared at him, and he composed himself, looking out the window. Seemingly feeling a bit stifled, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He ignored their conversation, but the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
"Go arrange the manpower, see who's suitable." Li Weiguo lowered his head and continued processing documents, showing no interest whatsoever in the funds Xu Jiaguo mentioned.
Xu Jiaguo said somewhat awkwardly, "Boss, the people down here have been quite busy lately..."
"Quite busy?" Li Weiguo looked up again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes, quite busy. It's good to be busy. Here's what we'll do: you go and fill in for me first, and then when you see someone suitable, we'll have someone else take over. Oh, and before you leave, hand over your work to Qin Tian. Here he is."
Xu Jiaguo immediately perked up and excitedly said, "Okay, I'll get on it right away!"
"Okay, you can go out first. I need to talk to Qin Tian. There are some things I need to explain to him. After you've finished handing things over with him, go straight to the motorcycle factory."
After Xu Jiaguo left, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I say, Uncle Li, is this the guy you thought was good? Is this all?" Qin Tian's tone was full of disdain.
Li Weiguo rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache: "If he were really reliable, I wouldn't have had to go to Old Master Qin's place. These days, people are so restless."
"This isn't just a matter of people being restless; it's downright stupidity." Qin Tian showed Li Weiguo the slightest bit of face. He already harbored resentment, having been doing well in his own area before being transferred here: "You've been a secretary for over four years now, and you don't have a single person under you capable of being a factory manager. Even for a matter of a few million US dollars, you have to scheme against them. With someone like that in your position, aren't you afraid he'll sell off all our products?"
"Sigh." Li Weiguo sighed, feeling somewhat annoyed. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, looked at the packaging, and felt helpless. This was a gift from Wang Shouren. Xu Jiaguo had never given him any cigarettes or alcohol before.
