At the time, Ji Xingguo gave him a few pointers, but that was all.
Ji Xingguo asked with slight surprise, "You mean Lei Tingjun is starting his own business? What kind of business is he starting?"
As the factory director, Ji Xingguo was aware of Lei Tingjun's family background.
Ji Xingguo had seen his file.
Both parents died, and he dropped out of junior high school. His only relative is an uncle in Honghe Township.
Before joining the Dongfang Factory, he had worked outside for several years, doing all sorts of odd jobs.
Old Xiao said, "He set up a transportation team in Pingdong City and cooperated with some factories and construction sites in Pingdong City, mainly transporting building materials for them. He also acquired a brick factory in his hometown of Honghe Township, which specializes in construction materials."
Ji Xingguo was stunned for a moment: "He left the factory less than a year ago."
"Yes." Seeing that even Director Ji was somewhat incredulous, Old Xiao also sighed and said, "And you probably wouldn't believe it, but Lei Tingjun also participated in the National Unified Examination for Adult Education with me this time."
Ji Xingguo was even more surprised, his eyes widening: "He went to take the exam too?"
In Ji Xingguo's memory, Lei Tingjun was always either fighting or causing trouble.
Last time, they were so audacious that they beat up Deputy Factory Director Yang and his son in front of everyone.
Ji Xingguo never had a good impression of Lei Tingjun.
To his utter surprise, he heard about Lei Tingjun's current situation from other employees in the factory.
This truly astonished Ji Xingguo.
"Factory Director, don't underestimate Lei Tingjun. He got into East China University this time." Old Xiao received his results notice, and Lei Tingjun naturally received it as well.
"And I remember, your daughter also got into East China University, right?" Old Xiao said, his tone unconsciously carrying a sense of pride.
Back then, Lei Tingjun was fired from the factory by Director Ji in a fit of rage. Now, Lei Tingjun has transformed into his own boss and has been admitted to the same prestigious university as Director Ji's daughter.
In his heart, Lao Xiao wanted to clear Lei Tingjun's name, especially in front of Director Ji who had dismissed him, which is why he unknowingly said so much.
Ji Xingguo rubbed his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating.
"What did you say? Lei Tingjun got into East China University?!" Ji Xingguo asked in a deep voice.
Old Xiao smiled and said, "Director Ji, you heard me right. It was East China University. I took three days off to go to the city for the exam, and I was with him the whole time. We took the exam together."
“Brother Lei also expressed his willingness to sponsor me, and after thinking about it, I decided to accept Brother Lei’s sponsorship. So, I have no choice but to come and explain my attitude to Director Ji.”
Factory Director Ji's expression was very complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Lao Xiao said a few words of thanks and then prepared to take his leave.
But as he walked to the office door, Lao Xiao felt that there was something he had been keeping to himself, and if he didn't say it now, he didn't know if he would ever have the chance again.
So Lao Xiao turned to Ji Xingguo and said, "Director Ji, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. Back then, regarding Zuo Quangui's incident, it was indeed him who led his group of factory workers to attack us first. As for Brother Lei, he wasn't even at the scene that day. He only stepped forward to say that he was the one who hit Sun Xiaojun in order to help Sun Xiaojun keep his job."
“Deputy Factory Director Yang wanted to win over Deputy Director Zuo, so Yang Zhiping mediated between them and framed Sun Xiaojun. Brother Lei took the blame for this all by himself. We brothers all knew about this. He was actually just angry with Deputy Factory Director Yang and his son, which is why he beat them up in public that day.”
After saying this, Lao Xiao bowed deeply to Ji Xingguo and walked out.
Ji Xingguo stared at the doorway with a complex and unreadable expression. After a long while, he murmured, "Thunder Army..."
"He actually got into the same university as Meimei?"
