“Then leave it to me, we’re neighbors,” Li Zhensong said.
Gao Zhiwei's sudden return was an unexpected surprise for his wife. The family of three was overjoyed and was preparing to cook some hearty dishes for dinner when Old Li from next door knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Since you're back, let's go out to eat instead of cooking at home. I've ordered Hangzhou cuisine."
"There's no need to be extravagant. Staying at home is fine. You can come to my house for a meal," Gao Zhiwei's wife said.
"I made the reservation myself. Lao Gao is in the north now, so there aren't many opportunities to eat here. Let's go for a walk."
Gao Zhiwei also wanted to go out and have some fun, so he agreed. The two families arrived at the restaurant, and just as the food was served, a surprised voice rang out from the side: "Oh my, what a coincidence, you're here too?"
Gao Zhiwei turned around to look and saw that President Zong's face was frozen. Although a long time had passed, he still felt a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
"Mr. Gao is here too?"
"We're just having a meal together, and you're here too? Please sit down and join us. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks."
"Eating is fine, it's just that I'll have a drink with Mr. Gao. It's been a while since I've seen him."
"President Zong, please don't say that, I don't deserve it."
“It’s been almost nine months since we parted ways last year. To be honest, I was quite surprised when you resigned, but I still kept your position open. I never expected that you could turn that small factory into what it is today.” President Zong raised his glass and said, “I’ll drink this first.”
"No!" Gao Zhiwei felt like he had been forced into this situation, so he could only swallow his words and say, "I didn't contribute much to the factory; it was mainly General Manager Lu who did it."
“That Lu Feng is no good. He’s just a young man who can’t get anything done. He wouldn’t be where he is today without you. Jiaming Foods owes 80% of its success to you.”
"Yes, I also think it's mainly because of you, Mr. Gao. Your abilities are very strong."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment."
"Look how busy you are, doing so much work, how much do you get paid a month?" Li Zhensong asked curiously.
"More than three hundred!"
"Only three hundred and a half?" Li Zhensong was shocked. He smacked his lips and said, "You did the most work but got the least money. If I were you, I definitely wouldn't do it."
"That's indeed a bit low. You deserve most of the credit for this factory!"
When Gao Zhiwei was still around, these two never fawned over him like this. After a little thought, he immediately realized that the two of them were setting a trap for him.
"To be honest, I really don't want to do this anymore." Gao Zhiwei slammed his chopsticks on the table with a look of displeasure. "Back then, it was just a small factory, and I tolerated the meager pay. Now it's grown so big. Every aspect of this factory is my hard work, but what's the result? It all belongs to others, and they've become rich."
"Exactly, if I were you, I couldn't stand it."
"This is a matter of the entrepreneur's magnanimity. Since you've already brought it up, I'll be frank with you. The position has always been reserved for you, and you can come back anytime. We can even give you shares. You know the situation now. It's turned out like this. You built it with your own hands, and you can destroy it with your own hands. You can't leave it to him."
"Yes, yes, you have that ability."
"We need your cooperation now."
“I’ll cooperate completely. I’ve been holding back for a long time. If he dares to point his finger at me and yell at me, I’ll make him regret it,” Gao Zhiwei shouted.
"Didn't you say...?" Gao Zhiwei's wife wondered how her husband had become like this.
"Shut up, what do you know?"
"Is that so? Is this small canned food product definitely from an overseas research team, just like the advertising claims?"
"How could that be? He found a few people to mix it up. It's all chemicals. I'm afraid someone might die from it," Gao Zhiwei said with a look of disgust.
“In that case, all we need to do is report him for false advertising and misleading consumers. As long as you testify, everything will be fine.”
"Don't worry, when you need me, I will definitely testify and make him go bankrupt, so he will know who made so much money for him."
"Alright, alright, you guys eat first, I'll go back now."
"Take care, Mr. Zong!"
Gao Zhiwei waved his hand and lowered his head to eat. His wife was furious. How could he say that about him? Didn't he say that President Lu was very kind and generous, giving him shares and such? Could it be that it was all a lie?
