Chapter Thirty-One
As soon as Ji Xingguo spoke, the people standing outside the door shut their mouths.
But Yang Changhua was, after all, the deputy factory director, and his words carried more weight than those of Lei Tingjun and the others. He snorted and said to Ji Xingguo, "Old Ji, these guys are making a racket outside the door, saying they want to see you. Look at them, they even dare to bring cigarettes and alcohol. Aren't they trying to openly bribe you?"
Yang Changhua turned around and glared at Lei Tingjun: "Do you think Director Ji would accept your bribes? Director Ji's character and moral integrity, and his exemplary conduct, are evident to everyone in our factory, numbering in the thousands."
"Director Ji will absolutely not accept your bribes. Young people, I advise you to give up these crooked thoughts and go back to reflect on yourselves!"
With just a few words, Yang Changhua summed up the matter, as if it were already confirmed that Lei Tingjun and his men had come to 'bribe' Ji Xingguo, bringing good cigarettes and alcohol.
Ji Xingguo glanced at Yang Changhua.
Before he could even speak, Yang Changhua was already eager to define the matter. Old Yang wasn't usually so hasty in his actions.
This incident made Ji Xingguo pay attention to Yang Changhua's reaction.
Lei Tingjun had no connection with him whatsoever. Could it be that he simply disliked these impulsive young men and, without even asking the facts, accused them of a crime?
Old Yang is not the kind of person who is so careless. He always thinks things through carefully and is very thorough in his work.
Although Ji Xingguo didn't particularly like these young men who were always causing trouble for the factory, he was principled and insisted on adhering to evidence and procedures in everything he did.
Moreover, he didn't believe that this young man named Lei Tingjun would dare to openly bring cigarettes and alcohol to his office to 'bribe' him.
Ji Xingguo's stern gaze swept over Lei Tingjun and Sun Xiaojun, who was standing next to him with his head down and dared not raise it. He said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, come in and talk."
When Yang Changhua saw that Ji Xingguo had still called the two people into his office, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
A few days ago, Yang Changhua had finally managed to persuade Ji Xingguo to let their children meet and potentially arrange a marriage.
But for some reason, Ji Xingguo's daughter just didn't take a liking to his son, Yang Zhiping.
After returning home, Yang Changhua gave Yang Zhiping a severe scolding.
Yang Changhua felt that Yang Zhiping was too eager that day and did not perform well, which caused everything to fall apart.
Yang Changhua cursed, "I've told you so many times! Ji Wanmei is Ji Xingguo's precious darling, the apple of his eye he's raised since she was a child. If you go there, you'll definitely have to be subservient and coax her first. But you, you've messed things up right from the start! I've never had a son as useless and incompetent as you!"
At that time, Yang Zhiping was scolded by his father so badly that he didn't dare to argue back.
It was all because he hadn't handled several of his sentences well that day, and Ji Wanmei's reaction was completely unexpected.
Yang Zhiping was originally full of confidence. With his refined and fair appearance, his prestigious university degree, his eloquent tongue, and his slightly more fashionable attire, there was basically no girl he couldn't win over.
When Yang Zhiping was in college in Guangcheng, he had several girlfriends, and he won them over in this way.
Therefore, Yang Zhiping, who had just returned to Pingquan County from Guangcheng, did not take the little girl he had not seen for several years, the daughter of the factory director who was his father's superior, seriously at all.
He felt that winning the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl would be a piece of cake for him.
When Yang Zhiping arrived at the Ji family home that day and saw the stunningly beautiful Ji Wanmei, he was immediately stunned.
He never imagined that such a beautiful woman could emerge from a small county like Pingquan.
Even in a place like Guangzhou, where he travels between Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, among so many fashionable women, Yang Zhiping has never seen anyone more beautiful than Ji Wanmei.
He was instantly captivated.
I felt dizzy afterwards and made several mistakes in what I said.
It's no wonder I reacted so poorly; Ji Wanmei's face was just too alluring.
Even now, thinking about it makes Yang Zhiping feel weak in the knees. He had no choice but to accept being scolded by his father.
The failed blind date left both the Yang father and son feeling resentful.
At this point, Yang Zhiping's dissatisfaction stemmed more from his pride as a man. Because he hadn't officially started working at the factory yet, and hadn't been exposed to his father's shady dealings, he hadn't yet considered the potential gains and losses too much.
He only knew that without Ji Wanmei as a stepping stone, he and his father would lose many benefits and conveniences in many things in the future.
But Yang Changhua is different.
He wielded the power of a deputy factory director, and the profits from finance and external sales were unimaginable.
He knew all too well how important this matter was!
Moreover, he received inside information that there was a high probability of job adjustments this year. If he were to be transferred from his position in charge of external sales, wouldn't he lose this lucrative opportunity?
Therefore, Yang Changhua was determined to win over Ji Xingguo and gain his trust so that he could continue to manage the external sales department.
Although their children's first blind date failed, Yang Changhua did not give up.
He had already given his son, Yang Zhiping, an idea: to use the excuse of coming and going from the compound every day to get to know Ji Wanmei better and make a good impression on her. If blind dates didn't work out, then they could take advantage of their proximity to her.
