Chapter 53 Chapter 53 I will rely on you to support me from now on
Zhao Guangping is the youngest child of his generation in the family and was brought up being loved by his parents and grandparents.
The Zhao family was a large family, and all his cousins from his uncles' and aunts' families were promising. His father was very strong-willed and liked to compare himself with his brothers in everything. Unfortunately, he had a son who was neither good at literature nor martial arts.
He couldn't stand the hardship and didn't want to join the army.
My academic performance wasn’t that great, and after two years of college entrance exams, I finally got into a junior college.
Zhao Guangping's father always compared him with his cousins, and finally belittled him to the point of being worthless.
But he also has a strong competitive spirit and wants to compete with his brothers and sisters from his uncles' families.
After graduating from college, he worked in a government agency for two months under the arrangement of his family. His father gave him a chance to prove himself. Three state-owned factories in the north city were facing bankruptcy and liquidation. Among these three factories, the director and deputy director of the daily chemical factory were all transferred.
He is only at the section level now, and is not qualified to be transferred to a state-owned factory as a factory director. However, the Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory is about to close down, so it is a special matter, and his family has many connections.
If he could save the daily chemical factory, he would be able to secure his position as the factory director, be promoted several levels on the spot, and make a great contribution, which would be recorded in the files in the future.
Zhao Guangping wanted to achieve something and show his family that he was no worse than his other brothers and sisters.
So he took on the task, ready to make a big splash in his career.
He had no experience as a manager, so his father specially sent his former subordinates to assist him.
He was used to being a relative of the prince and was not used to being told what to do.
The regent appointed by his father was soon thrown aside by him as he had his own ideas.
He couldn't understand the account book at all, but after pretending to look at it for a while, he actually figured out some things.
That is, the daily chemical factory owes a lot of money, and has been in arrears for several years, and the amount owed is increasing.
Zhao Guangping's regent was Li Gui, who had learned about the situation of the daily chemical factory in advance.
I learned that after the daily chemical factory received a bankruptcy liquidation warning, the factory leaders tried to save everything and took a series of measures, including launching a new shampoo.
The new shampoo received mediocre sales response in North City, but Li Gui compared it with other shampoos on the market and found that it was more effective, so the poor sales were not the shampoo's fault.
The factory is now in a semi-shutdown state, and the production of the new shampoo has been stopped. The specific reason is not difficult to find out. Li Gui heard that the developer of this shampoo leaked the factory formula to other units, resulting in two similar products appearing on the market at the same time.
Although this person had some minor flaws, Li Gui admired his talent for being able to develop such a useful shampoo.
Even if he had made mistakes before, as long as he could bring real benefits to the factory, his mistakes were not worth mentioning.
The workers in the factory had a very bad impression of Wang Qiang, not only because he leaked the factory's formula, but also because when he was caught red-handed, he refused to admit his mistake and intended to put the blame on his colleagues.
In order to escape punishment, he even fabricated a story that he was not the developer of the formula, but had stolen the formula from his colleague.
The workers at the daily chemical factory did not believe it, but after reading the profiles of Song Guanshu and Wang Qiang, Li Gui believed Wang Qiang's statement. Between a college student from a prestigious university with a professional background and a worker-peasant-soldier college student who entered the factory with the help of his background, it is naturally more convincing that the former is a developer.
Li Gui also went to Wang Qiang's home and asked him who the developer of the shampoo was.
Wang Qiang is now unemployed at home. Because he sold out factory secrets, he is always pointed at by his neighbors in the residential building when he goes out. He rarely goes out now.
He seemed very surprised that someone came to him, especially when he heard that the other party believed that it was not him who leaked the shampoo formula. He wished he could make Li Gui his confidant on the spot.
After having a brief but in-depth conversation with Wang Qiang and leaving Wang Qiang's house, Li Gui became more convinced of his idea that the developer should be Comrade Song Guanshu.
As for why the shampoo that was clearly developed by Song Guanshu ended up being named after Wang Qiang and was leaked, there is no point in pursuing the matter further.
He only knew that Song Guanshu was a talented person and the factory should make good use of him.
After returning to the factory, Li Gui told Zhao Guangping that Song Guanshu should be given more responsibilities.
However, Zhao Guangping liked to go against the loyal ministers left to him by his father. When Li Gui said to use them, he refused to listen.
Meeting such a man, Li Gui had no choice but to explain the truth to him in detail.
He told Zhao Guangping his analysis and told him about Song Guanshu's resume. According to what Wang Qiang said, it was Song Guanshu who developed the shampoo. He also showed him the sales volume of shampoo of the small Haicheng factory in other places. If this sales volume could be placed in our daily chemical factory, it could save the daily chemical factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Zhao Guangping's thinking was completely opposite to Li Gui's. He took a stack of information on the table and, among the many pieces of information, he first saw Song Guanshu's study experience at Beicheng University.
His eldest cousin is a college student at North City University. She is the best student in their generation. Even though she is just a granddaughter, she is often shown off. Even his father often uses his eldest cousin to stimulate him.
The reason why he took two years to take the college entrance examination was because there was a college student in his family from the north city, and his father would not allow him to fall too far behind.
Zhao Guangping hated Beicheng University so much that he frowned when he saw the name of the school.
I hate the whole thing because I don't like my eldest cousin. Because I don't like Beicheng University, I don't like this technician named Song Guanshu.
After hearing Li Gui say that Song Guanshu was the real developer of shampoo, Wang Qiang thought that he was just a worker-peasant-soldier college student who got into college through connections and didn't have much real talent.
This really hit the nail on the head for Zhao Guangping. He hated it most when people said he was a relative of someone else, and he hated it even more when people said he had no real talent or knowledge.
Zhao Guangping felt that Li Gui was using Wang Qiang to satirize him.
During the two years when he was forced by his old man to take the college entrance examination, he always hoped that the country would reopen the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University so that he would not have to study so hard and could go directly to university.
The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, which was very sacred in his heart, was insulted and compared with the North City University, which he hated the most.
"He's just a college student from North City University. He hasn't developed any new products in the few years since he joined the factory. I don't think he's that great."
Zhao Guangping said angrily, "Isn't he a college student? If you are so capable, go out and prove it to me. What North City college student is he? He is just a fraud. I don't believe that the daily chemical factory can't operate normally without him."
Whether he was talking about Song Guanshu or his eldest cousin, he was the only one who knew.
The more Li Gui persuaded Zhao Guangping, the more rebellious he became.
He had good intentions and wanted Zhao Guangping to use him, but Zhao Guangping was the factory director.
Song Guanshu received the notice before leaving get off work. His colleagues in other technical departments were all dumbfounded. Hadn't they already fired a large number of workers? Why were they going to fire more workers?
Besides, Xiao Song is a college student, so how could he be among those who were expelled?
The staff in the technical department were all worried that they would be the next to be fired.
I asked the clerk in the personnel department, but he didn't know the specific reason either, and said it was the factory director who asked them to come and notify us.
This sudden and unexplained dismissal made them a little scared, as if a knife was hanging over their heads that might fall at any time.
The HR officer also comforted Song Guanshu, "You are a college student, you won't have trouble finding a job. Don't worry, the factory will give you a very generous compensation. Use the money to start a small business. I heard that there are foreign companies recruiting technicians in Guangcheng, Shanghai. The salary is much higher than ours. You can also give it a try. You are still young, capable and educated. It is our factory that has influenced you. You may have better development prospects outside. Don't forget us when that happens."
The colleagues in the technical department were all very panicked, but they still remembered to comfort Song Guanshu.
"Yes, Xiao Song, don't forget us old guys."
Compared to others, as a person who was fired, his expression was relatively calm.
He simply tidied up the clutter on his desk and took away the things that were easy to take with him when he got off work.
Song Guanshu bought the land and said to his colleagues, "I'll come to get the rest tomorrow." He still had some formalities to complete, so he had to come to the factory tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
We are all colleagues, not black-hearted bosses. How could they not even give us time to move out?
Jiang Ling saw some office items hanging in front of Song Guanshu's handlebars, but since there were not many, she didn't think that he had been fired.
So when Jiang Ling heard Song Guanshu say that he was fired, she was completely stunned.
"Why? There must be a reason for the dismissal."
Song Guanshu smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, they said Director Zhao fired me."
"Do you know him? Or have you offended him?"
Song Guanshu really didn't know why he was fired, "I don't know him."
It was like being bitten by a mad dog while walking on the road, for no apparent reason.
Being fired was a big deal. Jiang Ling comforted him, "It's okay. The factory will close down sooner or later. Being fired now or closing down with the factory in the future will have the same result."
"I've lost my job, and I'll have to rely on you to support the family from now on." His tone was calm, but it somehow sounded pitiful.
The stack of big tuanjie in the lunch box appeared in front of Jiang Ling. Song Guanshu was not short of money, so the possibility of him asking her to support him was zero.
But this did not stop Jiang Ling from speaking nicely, "These are all trivial matters. We are friends. From now on, if I have a bite of meat, you will have a bite of soup."
Song Guanshu had no objection to Jiang Ling eating meat while he drank soup.
He said with satisfaction, "Okay, I remember it."
Zhao Guangping was only responsible for the dismissal, and his subordinates from other departments would take care of the follow-up matters.
Song Guanshu was not the only one who was fired from the factory among this batch. Wei Ming was also fired with him.
It was not Ding Yan and other members of the Ding family who used their connections to deal with him. Even if he had betrayed Ding Yan, the Ding family knew very well that they could not drive a dog into a poor alley.
He has divorced Ding Yan and now only has his job left. The daily chemical factory is facing bankruptcy and there is no need to deal with him anymore.
Zhao Guangping had some connections with Ding Yan's family. They were neighbors living in the same compound. Ding Yan had no children, so she was nice to their children.
He heard that Ding Yan's second husband had cheated on her and had an illegitimate child, so he kindly stood up for Ding Yan and fired Wei Ming as well.
The workers in the factory, including Wei Ming himself, believed that they were fired because of the Ding family's interference. In fact, Ding Yan knew nothing about this.
After Wei Ming divorced Ding Yan, he was left with almost nothing. He also had to raise a child with poor health, which was a heavy burden for him.
In the past, Ding Yan didn't want him to use his salary to support the family. He said that his salary would be sent back home to his brothers and sisters, but in fact it all went to another home at the power plant.
Now that he has suddenly lost his source of income, he has become somewhat extreme and irritable, thinking that since no one wants me to live, then no one should live.
When Ding Guozhu was still the director of the daily chemical factory, Wei Ming followed his brother-in-law and helped with many dirty tasks. He kept some evidence of Ding Guozhu's violations.
He thought that being fired was Ding Guozhu's idea. With the idea that he would never have a good life unless he had a good life, Wei Ming reported the evidence he had kept.
These things were like stirring up a hornet's nest. Originally, due to the corruption incident of Deputy Director Xiao of the steel plant, all the state-owned factories in the north city were strictly investigating the corruption of their leaders.
Ding Guozhu happened to be caught in the crossfire, and a group of officials who had contact with him were taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission.
When the Discipline Inspection Commission came, Ding Guozhu was drinking tea in an idle department of the agency. He had already made enough money and had no ambition to move up to the next level.
When he was taken away, he was dumbfounded. What was even more unbelievable to him was that it was his former brother-in-law Wei Ming who reported him.
He always thought that Wei Ming was timid and could not accomplish anything great. Now it seems that he underestimated Wei Ming. From the fact that Wei Ming dared to secretly raise an illegitimate child, it can be seen that he is very bold.
It's too late to say anything now. We can only hope that Ding Yan will rescue him.
Ding Guozhu's wife and children found Ding Yan, hoping that Ding Yan could rescue the person.
Although Ding Guozhu was the factory director, he could not compare with Ding Yan in terms of connections, so Ding's eldest sister-in-law came to ask her for help.
Ding Yan would definitely help if she could, but her brother's crime was not a trivial one, so she politely declined.
As for what her sister-in-law and niece thought after being rejected by her, she didn't care.
Before getting off work at noon, she came to the daily chemical factory to find Jiang Ling.
The desk where Wei Ming used to sit was empty, and Ding Yan acted as if she didn't notice it.
Several other people in the Finance Department looked at her curiously. She had divorced Wei Ming not long ago, and her elder brother, Director Ding, was also taken away for investigation for corruption, but there was no sign of surprise on Ding Yan's face.
She said to everyone openly, "Everyone, I have something to ask Jiang Ling, and I need to borrow her time for half a day."
Although he didn't know why she was looking for Jiang Ling, Old Tang immediately said, "I'll approve half a day off for Xiao Jiang."
Seeing that Jiang Ling hadn't moved, Old Tang winked at her.
Jiang Ling followed Ding Yan out of the factory. She was unsure of Ding Yan's attitude. She didn't know whether Ding Yan hated her for exposing the truth or...
"I originally wanted to go to your home to look for you, but I didn't know where you lived, so I had to come to the factory to look for you during working hours." Ding Yan said, "Is Xiao Song okay at the factory now?"
"It's OK." Jiang Ling said, "He was fired two days ago."
She added: "He was fired at the same time as Wei Ming."
This isn't a complaint, it's simply telling the truth.
"How come?"
"Do you want me to tell your factory manager that Xiao Song is a technical talent and should not be fired."
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "No need. You can earn a living doing anything. After leaving the daily chemical factory, you can find another job."
Ding Yan really likes Jiang Ling's optimistic attitude, unlike the people in her family.
"I want to ask you out for dinner. My friend gave me an internal dinner ticket. I just got divorced and I can't find anyone to eat with me. I heard that young people like a certain tune, and I thought of you."
Ding Yan hailed a green taxi on the street and gave an address that Jiang Ling had never heard of, but the name sounded very upscale.
Jiang Ling was a little worried, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to treat me to a meal so I could change into new clothes."
Ding Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll let you know in advance next time."
And there will be a next time. Does that mean she is not angry with Jiang Ling anymore?
Ding Yan brought her to an international hotel that hosted foreign guests. Its decoration was not inferior to some of the star-rated hotels that Jiang Ling had visited in later lives.
When she ate the familiar steak, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Sister, let me be with you, I won't have a mistress or raise an illegitimate child." Wei Ming eats so well every day, how could he bear to betray Ding Yan.
If you can't do this pretty boy job, there will definitely be someone else who can.
Just like her.
Ding Yan found it funny. This girl only pretended for a while and then she couldn't continue.
She asked Jiang Ling, "What about Xiao Song?"
Jiang Ling said without hesitation, "Sister, if you mind him, I can also divorce him."
There was a dining table between the two of them, otherwise Ding Yan would have reached out to slap Jiang Ling, "Stop talking nonsense, do you think divorce is a good thing?"
Jiang Ling raised her glass to her, "Of course it's a good thing. Marriage is for happiness, and so is divorce. There's no difference."
Ding Yan smiled and said, "Then congratulations to me."
The wine glasses collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
"Actually, you could have just told me directly. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Ding Yan was speechless after thinking about it. "You even said that you can't have a baby. I'm surprised you thought of that."
Jiang Ling took a sip of red wine. "I'm just afraid that you don't believe me. After all, Wei Ming is your husband. How can I be considered as a nobody?"
Ding Yan shook her head. "You have no reason to lie to me, so I believe you."
This meal lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Ding Yan took a taxi to send Jiang Ling home, and also stopped by her house to get to know the area.
The two drank half a bottle of red wine and were slightly tipsy. The remaining half bottle of red wine was in Jiang Ling's arms. She brought it for Song Guanshu.
Not long after the two men entered the steel plant's family quarters, they saw a pool of blood on the dirt road. They didn't know whether it was human blood or chicken blood.
After taking two more steps forward, I could clearly hear an abnormal sound and was attracted by it.
The two men followed the sound and went over there. This is why they say alcohol gives cowards courage.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Ling, who values life very much, would definitely not move aside.
I walked into a larger yard and saw a man and a woman fighting. The man was holding a scary big kitchen knife, while the woman was unarmed and her clothes were covered in blood.
Seeing this scene, the two of them sobered up immediately.
"I know where the police station is. Sister, come with me to the police station."
The injured woman turned her head and Jiang Ling saw her true face clearly.
She couldn't help but curse, Damn, it's Tong Wanyue.
Jiang Ling let go of Ding Yan's hand and said, "Sister, go and call for help."
Ding Yan was so scared that she thought Jiang Ling had had enough of living and wanted to die. "What are you doing? It's very dangerous. Don't get close."
"I know the person who was chopped. I have to go help her."
Looking at Jiang Ling's back, Ding Yan's mind popped up: Jiang Ling is a good girl!
