After the leader left, everyone stopped watching the spectacle.
Some people haven't even eaten yet. They need to hurry back to eat, rest for a while, and then go to work in the afternoon.
After most of the people had left, Zhang Lianhe came over and said, "Secretary Xu, I think Lu Shuji seems to be dissatisfied with you. Be careful."
Xu Xiangyang raised an eyebrow in surprise. He could see it himself, but he didn't expect this person to come and remind him.
"Okay, I understand."
When Zhang Lianhe realized that he knew, he turned around and went back to eat.
This incident became so widespread that everyone in the project team, from top to bottom, knew about it.
Although the matter had blown up, Xu Xiangyang didn't care, and he had his reasons for doing so.
As for the reason...
(You'll find out later.)
He first threw the canned food into the trash can inside the space. He would never touch anything that someone would eat with their bare hands again.
And the beef jerky, I haven't even had a chance to touch it yet, it was just opened?
Xu Xiangyang felt uncomfortable, so he took those things to the next room.
"Do you want this?" he asked, looking at the people who were eating.
Zhang Lianhe was startled by his sudden appearance, then saw the beef jerky in the paper package and nodded blankly.
Xu Xiangyang threw it on the table and left without looking back.
"You gave it to me?" Zhang Lianhe was stunned. Wasn't this dried meat?
He picked it up, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. The meaty flavor burst in his mouth. This is meat!
Although he was puzzled as to why Xu Xiangyang gave him beef jerky, he didn't ask.
Hurry up and eat, what if Zhu Xingui comes back later and sees this and tries to take it from him?
On the other side.
In Lu Shuji's office, Zhu Xingu and Cao Yajun were standing in front of him.
"Lu Shuji, I really didn't steal it, Secretary Xu framed me!" Zhu Xingu tried to kneel down, but Cao Yajun behind him kept grabbing his collar and wouldn't let him kneel.
What kind of person is this? They won't even let me kneel down and admit my mistake!
Lu Shuji took a sip of tea and then sat down in the chair next to him.
"Whether you stole it or not, the result is what it is. You'll go help out in the logistics department this afternoon. We need to repair the courtyard wall, and we're short-handed." He said calmly, not caring at all about Zhu Xingu's explanation.
This matter has already been made very clear, and everyone has seen it.
The wallet was indeed taken from Zhu Xingu's pocket, and it is also true that he stole the canned food.
Therefore, explanations are completely useless.
When Zhu Xingu heard that the matter was settled just like that, he felt somewhat unwilling.
He never expected Xu Xiangyang to trick him like that. It's really strange how the wallet ended up in his pocket!
"Lu Shuji, I'm willing to work in logistics." He lowered his head unwillingly, his eyes filled with resentment.
But there's nothing that can be done about it. If this happened at work, he'd probably be transferred to some remote corner.
However, the fact that they are now able to help with logistics and haven't been kicked out of the project team is already very kind.
Zhu Xingui felt uncomfortable; he knew he wouldn't let Xu Xiangyang off so easily!
He never expected that eating a can of food would lead to so much trouble.
He's stolen food before, not to mention stealing it, he's even eaten it in front of people, so what?
Everyone else just obediently let him eat, right? If someone was unwilling, they would just argue a bit and that would be it. How could someone like Xu Xiangyang do that?
Regardless of whether he was resentful or not, Lu Shuji waved his hand and let him leave.
Cao Yajun closed the door and then stood to the side.
"What's going on with Xu Xiangyang? Is he deliberately coming to cause trouble?" Lu Shuji asked, frowning.
There are plenty of troublemakers around, but this is the first time I've seen something this big.
Cao Yajun shook his head. "It shouldn't be. He's Liao Shichang's secretary. It's probably Zhu Xingu who went too far."
He couldn't reveal that he knew Xu Xiangyang, and even if Lu Shuji found out, as long as he didn't go too far, nothing would happen.
Lu Shuji didn't ask any more questions, but simply instructed, "Be careful, don't let anyone cause trouble. It's not easy to get an opportunity like this, and there are countless people outside waiting to see us fail. If we don't succeed this time, the other faction will have something to say about us."
This work was only possible because everyone put in a lot of effort to get permission.
If we were to just turn back and go home like this, it would be a huge joke.
Cao Yajun nodded; he knew the seriousness of the matter.
At 2 p.m., the work was officially assigned. Liao Shichang was in charge of planning the garment factory, and the others also had their own tasks.
Because it was a new state-owned factory, everything had to be started from scratch.
Most of the factories in the past were joint public-private enterprises, and then they were converted into state-owned enterprises.
Now I run my own factory, and I still need to choose a location nearby.
Xu Xiangyang followed Liao Shizhang to the office. The room was very simple, without even a bookshelf, only a desk and a reception table and chair.
"I heard you caused quite a commotion at noon? What happened?" Liao Shichang frowned as he looked at the young man in front of him.
Xu Xiangyang sighed and said helplessly, "Chief Liao, I was also anxious. It's not a big deal that Zhu Xingu stole my food, I just ate it. But when he stole my wallet, I got angry and started hitting him."
He also looked annoyed, appearing helpless and angry.
Liao Shizhang shook his head. "You young people... Besides, money and valuables should be carried with you at all times, not left lying around on the table. You gave someone an opportunity to take advantage of you. Next time you encounter a situation like this, you shouldn't hit someone. Wait for the leaders to arrive and discuss things properly."
Xu Xiangyang remained silent. If they waited for the leaders to arrive, they would have already pocketed the money, and they wouldn't have written their names on the money anyway.
However, he won't lose any money. He did that on purpose just now, otherwise why would the higher-ups deal with Zhu Xingu so seriously?
Liao Shizhang, unaware of his thoughts, simply continued, "Considering this is your first offense, we'll let it go this time. Just this once!"
Xu Xiangyang nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Chief Liao, this will definitely only happen once. I won't make the same mistake again. I'll take good care of my things."
He had a very good attitude and was serious about admitting his mistake.
Seeing his attitude, Liao Shichang nodded in satisfaction; he hated trouble the most.
Especially at crucial moments in this kind of work, don't cause trouble.
"The first thing we'll do this time is site selection. Once the factory is built, someone will be in charge." He handed some documents to Xu Xiangyang and continued, "Go and look around the area first, see if there are any suitable places, and then report back to me. I have other work to do."
Although location selection is also important, Xu Xiangyang is only being asked to take a look at the site for now; the final decision will require his personal visit.
