Early the next morning, Director Yang took out the prepared gift from his office and hurried downstairs.
At this time, Director Yang was very panicked and looked very uneasy.
But it was still early for work, and even the security staff hadn't arrived yet. The yard was silent, not a soul in sight. Director Yang glanced at his watch, then left the compound and stood by the road, waiting.
At five minutes to seven, Director Yang saw President Hou's Audi driving towards him.
The car arrived and stopped steadily in front of Director Yang. Director Yang seemed to be still hesitating about something, and the driver had already gotten out of the car and opened the trunk.
Director Yang knew there was no way out, so he walked over and put the things in his hand into the trunk, then walked to the front and opened the car door.
"Good morning, President Hou!"
After saying hello, Director Yang sat down in the passenger seat.
The Audi was driving down the street again. President Hou, sitting alone in the back seat, suddenly sniffed and said, "Director Yang, did you drink again last night?"
Director Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "I couldn't sleep because of work, so I drank a little."
"A little? More than a little!"
Director Yang smiled again and said nothing.
The Audi sped towards the highway...
Let’s not talk about President Hou and his delegation going to the provincial branch for now, let’s talk about Li Cheng first.
Li Cheng came to work late today, not because he slept late, but because he felt guilty and was afraid of running into Director Yang if he came too early.
Although he knew that Director Yang and others would leave early, Li Cheng still dawdled and arrived at work half an hour late.
Thinking about what he did last night, Li Cheng felt that he was shameless enough.
However, Director Yang seemed to approve of his actions very much. Thinking of this, Li Cheng felt a little more at ease.
"Li Cheng, you're late!"
The sudden shout startled Li Cheng.
Li Cheng knew without even looking that it was Vice President Fu who was calling him.
Li Cheng put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Vice President Fu who came out of the office building.
Honestly, this Vice President Fu is pretty good-looking, with a slim figure, fair skin, an oval face, and well-defined eyebrows and eyes. If she wasn't so stern all the time, she'd have a lot of friends.
"Vice President Fu, aren't you in charge of work today? It's not good for you to be waiting here to catch latecomers instead of attending to your daily work."
Li Cheng said this with a playful look on his face, which made Vice President Fu even more angry.
"Be serious. You're always like this every time I tell you to. Don't you have any self-respect?"
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's expression changed instantly, and he said pitifully, "Is self-esteem useful? If it were useful, I would cry if anyone said anything bad about me, and I would hang myself if anyone criticized me. Whoever..."
Vice President Fu was instantly overwhelmed. Before Li Cheng could finish, he shouted, "That's enough. Are you done yet?"
Li Cheng quickly shut up and continued to look at her pitifully.
Vice President Fu really had no way to deal with Li Cheng. Every time they clashed, Li Cheng would end up making her so angry that she couldn't recover for a long time.
I went to complain to President Hou. President Hou seemed to particularly admire Li Cheng and always found excuses for him. And, the most infuriating thing was that as soon as I targeted him, the entire branch seemed to be against me.
Vice President Fu couldn't understand why this guy, who ran out whenever he had free time and treated labor discipline as a decoration, was so likable?
In fact, if she had investigated further, she would have understood that Li Cheng was making money for the entire branch. Of course, except for President Hou and herself.
Li Cheng is a person who can earn double interest for everyone, how can others say he is bad?
Vice President Fu went upstairs angrily. She wanted to listen to Li Cheng and preside over today's daily work.
Li Chengze slipped away again. Tomorrow is the opening day of the barbecue city, and there are many things there that need him to deal with.
Li Cheng has officially notified everyone in the branch that the barbecue restaurant will open tomorrow and everyone must go to support it. Of course, it won't be in vain, as there will be plenty of barbecue.
Moreover, he specifically told Tan Wenji to bring her grandmother with her. Tan Wenji was afraid that her grandmother would bring trouble between her and Li Cheng, so she said angrily, "Grandma has bad teeth and can't eat barbecue."
Li Cheng said to her with a smug look on his face, "Don't worry, there's grilled tofu there. I'm sure our grandma can chew it."
This sentence almost drove Tan Wenjie crazy.
After Li Cheng arrived at the barbecue city and took care of some chores, he looked at his watch and saw that it was almost half past nine. He wondered if Director Yang and his team had already arrived in the provincial capital.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his cell phone ring. Li Cheng took out his cell phone and saw that it was Zhang Dahe calling.
Li Cheng knew that President Hou and his team had already arrived at the provincial branch. Li Cheng pressed the answer button and said, "Dahe..."
Zhang Dahe said on the other end of the phone, "I saw President Hou and his team arrive."
Li Cheng gave him a few more instructions, and Zhang Dahe kept saying, "Don't worry, don't worry. Don't you trust me to do the job?"
Li Chengjiu smiled and said, "Your mother said that you are always careless and prone to making mistakes."
Zhang Dahe was unwilling to listen to this and shouted, "Don't listen to the old lady. She just misses me and wants me to go back. Tell her that I will go back this month."
Li Cheng said "Okay". Zhang Dahe said: "Also, I will follow you when I go back. Don't forget me if anything good happens."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "When have I ever forgotten you? Didn't I tell you everything?"
Zhang Dahe also laughed and said, "That's right, you're still a real brother. Unlike those bastards here, they forget me when they're drinking, but remember me when they're paying the bill..."
Li Cheng chatted with him for a few more sentences and told him to come back early. Your mother misses you so much that she often talks to you as if you were me, and even calls me by your nickname.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Zhang Dahe said again, "Li Cheng, I know you visit them often. I will never forget this in my life."
Li Cheng said, "Come on, just don't force me to drink all day when you come back."
There was laughter on the other end of the line, and then the call was hung up.
Li Cheng asked Zhang Dahe, who was working as a "laborer" in the provincial branch, to find out who President Hou's gift was for.
This wasn't a difficult task. Zhang Dahe only needed to chat with President Hou's driver for a few minutes to find out which boss President Hou had given the gift to. Zhang Dahe had the ability and the savvy to do it.
Isn't Director Yang here with us? Why are we still looking for Zhang Dahe?
Li Cheng understood that President Hou would not let Director Yang do such a thing.
The normal operation is that President Hou and Director Yang report their work as usual, and President Hou's driver puts the gift in the boss's private car.
Director Yang would never know who it was given to. This was the art of gift-giving among leaders; they would never let anyone else know.
