She looked at me with complicated eyes, her chest rising and falling, and she was obviously very angry: "Guan Hongjun, you didn't use the term "borrowing a knife to kill someone", which can be regarded as showing me mercy. "
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. I felt that I had said something a little too harsh and hurt her, so I took a tissue from the tissue box and handed it to her, but she turned her head away and ignored me.
In order to coax her, I was helpless, so I had to walk up to her and gently wipe away her tears.
She didn't dodge, but just looked at me with a reproachful look and kicked me lightly with her foot. Feeling the balance in her heart, her anger turned into joy and her tears turned into laughter.
I took the opportunity to sit on her desk and stared at her.
Her face flushed like a sunset glow, and she urged me: "Go quickly, if someone sees you in this position, they will think I am doing that to you with my mouth."
Her wonderful ideas were beyond my expectation, and I couldn't help but laugh secretly. The domineering King Kong Eyes just now were actually just a little bird.
Seeing that I didn't respond, she even laughed at me maliciously. Then she pushed the ground with her feet, driving the wheels of the swivel chair back two meters.
Now that the past grudges have been resolved, I will return to the topic: "What is your purpose in asking me to meet Chen Kai?"
She sighed and said sadly, "In your eyes, your brother is more important than me. If I didn't let you hear the whole story from Chen Kai, you would think I was framing him and trying to frame him to get rid of him. I also wanted to fulfill your brotherhood, but Chen Kai thought you were biased and didn't give him a chance to speak. My good intentions turned out to be a borrowed knife to cut flesh in your eyes."
I took it very seriously and gave her a grateful look.
She continued, "Miyazaki handed Chen Kai's resignation letter to me, and I didn't sign it at all. Shouldn't he be in charge of the branch factory?"
I slowly raised my hand, made a gesture to stop him, and said, "Whether to hire or not is a decision within your company. I won't interfere too much. You decide for yourself."
When she heard this, her face showed displeasure, and she said in a reproachful tone: "Guan Hongjun, can you please be more reasonable? No matter what, you are also a shareholder of the company. How can this have nothing to do with you? Besides, I work so hard, and I will not be buried with it when I die in the future? Am I not earning dowries for my two daughters, Xiaomei and Xixi? Besides, Chen Kai is your lifelong friend, isn't it wrong for me to ask for your opinion?"
I realized that I shouldn't always act as if it had nothing to do with her, so I changed my tone back to the time when I was discussing the issue: "Let's reject Chen Kai's resignation. Although he did suffer some injustice, his actions did violate the company's rules and regulations."
Seeing that I began to understand her position, she softened her tone and said, "Chen Kai doesn't need to be in charge of the branch factory anymore. Why don't you come to the main factory? There will always be a place where you can be useful."
I said, "He has decided to leave, so there is no need to try to keep him. He also has family concerns, so you don't have to feel responsible. I think the most important issue now is not who is in charge of the branch factory, but whether it is necessary to merge the branch factory back to the main factory."
She thought for a moment and said, "You are right. No matter who we send to the branch factory, we still have to deal with the problems in Tongxiang Town. Do you mean to withdraw them?"
I nodded and explained, "I am not a narrow-minded person. The withdrawal of the main factory is entirely from the perspective of corporate development, not to fight with Tongxiang. Besides, your practice of separating the accounts and not calculating them independently will sooner or later lead to problems."
She agreed deeply, as if she had made up her mind: "You are right. I will call a meeting of the management and implement it after reaching a unified opinion. I will prepare the meeting agenda and related materials now."
I said, "Please hold your troops for now. I want to communicate with County Magistrate Zhang and Wang Changwu first to hear their opinions."
She nodded, but a sly smile flashed across her face, and she suddenly teased me: "What do you think about the thing I just mentioned to you?"
I asked in confusion, “What is it?”
She laughed so hard that her body shook uncontrollably, and said breathlessly, "It's about letting Yingying be your concubine."
When I heard this, I got angry and took a sip of the coffee. I didn't expect the coffee to be very hot and it burned me so much that I grimaced. Seeing this, Lin Xun laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He said with a gloating look, "You deserve it! You don't want to marry her but you want to take advantage of her."
I was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking: Is she joking about Cui Yingying and me, or is she hinting at the relationship between me and her? The thought flashed through my mind, and I decided not to dwell on this topic anymore, and fled from this place full of gossip without looking back.
Back in my own office, I reported to Wang Yanshu about the relocation of the branch factory to the development zone. She said, "This matter involves a lot of things, and it's hard for me to give you a clear answer at the moment. You should go to the county government immediately, and I will accompany you to meet County Magistrate Zhang."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately asked Xiong Jifei to arrange a car for me and prepared to go to the county government.
Just as I was about to open the door, the two brothers Lin Haibo and Lin Haixiang walked into my office in a hurry.
After I offered my seat to them, I asked them about their purpose. It turned out that the county government had promised to provide Lin Haixiang with land for the construction of a logistics park at zero price, but now it encountered an unexpected obstacle. When the county land and resources bureau was handling the land transfer, the land department pointed out the document (Guofa [2006] No. 38) issued by the state in July. The document clearly stipulates that the income from land transfer must be paid in full to the local treasury, and strictly prohibits local governments from reducing or exempting land transfer fees in disguised forms such as "collecting first and returning later" and "subsidizing". It aims to cut off the way for local governments to attract investment through land concessions and curb illegal phenomena such as "zero land price" and "negative land price".
This sudden change was like a thunderbolt, completely disrupting the county government's original plan to provide land for free and have the Lin family build a logistics park. Once this plan failed, it would inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, and the plan of Xiaocheng Steel Construction Plant would also be in jeopardy. I knew the blow this incident had on them, so I first tried to comfort them with gentle words. I told them that I happened to be going to the county government to report to the leaders, and I would bring up this matter together and work together to find a solution.
I sat in the car with a heavy heart. Although my eyes swept across the snow-covered scenery outside the window, I did not savor the quiet beauty. My thoughts were full of how to deal with the current predicament. I repeatedly pondered the strategy to solve the problem and thought about how to convey these suggestions to Zhang Xiaodong in the most tactful and effective way, hoping to gain his understanding and acceptance.
When I was at a loss of ideas, Yu Zhiming called and interrupted my meditation: "Hello, Director Guan, I have an urgent matter to report to you. There has been an accident in the transfer of the land parcel No. 2. According to the latest policy documents, the land department requires that the land parcel must go through an open bidding process, which means that all our previous preparations may be wasted. The key is that this will also seriously affect the credibility of your county government. Who will dare to develop it in the future?"
