Chapter 188
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Li took two steps back. He looked up at Secretary Chen, sweat dripping from his face. "What do you mean?"
Secretary Chen didn't back down at all. He was even more aggressive than usual. His three-piece leather shoes made a clattering sound on the floor. He looked at him with a sneer in his eyes. "Don't you understand?"
"As the head of a factory, the superior, the victor, the high and mighty leader, can't you understand such ordinary words?"
Director Li also realized that he was frightened by him. He stopped, forced himself to calm down, and slammed the table. "How dare you."
"Is this what you, a secretary, should say to your boss?"
He was so angry that even his waxed hair began to vibrate.
Secretary Chen sneered, "Leader? My leader has always been just one person, Liang Qiurun."
"Li Defa, you're a deputy factory director, why are you trying to be so arrogant? Do you think you can hear me?"
Director Li was so angry at his outrageous remarks that he trembled, "You——"
Secretary Chen held up the frame of his black glasses, his gaze cold. "If you had come to this position normally, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"But you should never, ever step on my leader's head to get promoted."
"Li Defa, you've probably forgotten that when the leader first came to the meat processing plant as director, you were the first of so many middle and senior management who remained to surrender."
After being exposed, Director Li completely broke off relations. "Yes, I admit that I was the first one to surrender to Liang Qiurun, but so what? Now it's me, not Liang Qiurun, who remains as the director of the meat processing plant."
"Chen Zhen, if I were you, I would know the situation and coax me well. Maybe I'll take pity on you and give you a bite to eat."
As soon as these words fell, Secretary Chen sneered and spat, "Disgusting."
He slammed his resignation letter on the table and said, "I quit."
"It's really vicious to have someone like you as a leader."
After Secretary Chen said this, he turned around and left the office.
Director Li was left alone, shaking with anger. He gasped and pointed outside the door, "Okay, okay, Chen Zhen, you have the guts. After you leave, don't even think about coming back to the meat processing plant."
It was Secretary Chen who responded to him with a loud slam of the door.
After leaving the factory director's office, many people were watching the excitement, peeking their heads in. Secretary Chen left with an angry look on his face. When he was alone, the anger on his face disappeared, and he calmly took out an anonymous letter of accusation from his body.
The envelope was placed inside the envelope, and the envelope was bursting.
Secretary Chen looked down at the envelope and tore it apart bit by bit with an expressionless face. He divided it into three parts and sent the letter of accusation and the evidence to three different places.
Three days later.
An inspection team came to the meat processing plant and started interrogating Director Li from top to bottom. They took away a total of thirteen people from top to bottom.
This immediately became the biggest news in the entire capital.
The instigator, Secretary Chen, has already boarded a train heading south.
On the train.
Jiang Meilan, Shen Zhanlie, Wang Limei, Lao Xiao and Xu Aixiang were in the same carriage but did not sit together.
Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie had naturally heard about the heroic deeds of the meat processing factory from top to bottom. She tried several times to ask Secretary Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, "Secretary Chen, do you know anything about the meat processing factory?"
When they left, Director Li had already been taken away. Not only him, but basically everyone who had any connection with him had been taken away.
It has been several days now, but he still shows no intention of coming back.
They all knew that once they were taken away, there would be almost no possibility of them getting out after such a long time.
Just like Liang Qiurun before, that's why Jiang Meishu was so anxious after he was taken away. She looked for people to ask for help and find out the news about Liang Qiurun.
Secretary Chen opened his eyes, and his smiling eyes had lost their usual gentleness. It had only been half a year, but the man in front of him who loved to joke around seemed to have become a lot colder and sterner all of a sudden.
"What is it?"
He had a look of confusion on his face.
Jiang Meilan was startled by him, but she knew what was going on. She shook her head and said, "Nothing." Secretary Chen continued to close his eyes and rest.
After three days and four nights of train travel, we arrived in Guangzhou.
It's like fresh blood being poured into Guangzhou from all over the country.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun came to pick people up early in the morning. For this purpose, they asked Qiao Jiahui to borrow one of his Crown cars. In this era, this Crown car is equivalent to a unique luxury car.
October in Guangzhou is still as hot as ever, with no sign of autumn at all.
Jiang Meishu was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a green coconut in her hand. When it was very hot, she would take a sip from time to time to relieve the heat.
"Did they say when they'd be arriving?"
It was only a little after ten in the morning, but the surroundings were like a furnace.
Liang Qiurun, "It should be arriving at the station on weekdays, around 11:05. If you're hot, why don't you wait under the eaves?"
The car traps heat, so the interior is like a furnace.
Jiang Meishu, "Forget it, I'll wait here, there are too many people outside."
After waiting for about twenty minutes, I finally saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Jiang Meishu immediately got out of the car and waved, "Here, here."
The voice also rose a few notches, but it was not harsh, on the contrary it was a bit soft.
When she called out, Jiang Meilan was the first to see her and rushed over with her men.
Jiang Meishu has been in Guangzhou for ten months, and this is the first time she sees her relatives. She was suddenly a little excited and went forward to hug them one by one, saying, "Sister." in a low voice.
"mom."
When it was Wang Limei's turn, she went up and hugged Wang Limei's arm, unwilling to let go.
Wang Limei was also looking at her, "You've lost a lot of weight."
With a hint of heartache in his eyes, he asked, "Is it too hard?"
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "No, it's just the hot weather, a bitter summer." After explaining to Wang Limei, she gave Xu Aixiang another hug, "Sister-in-law."
Xu Aixiang hadn't seen her for a long time. She called out a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Jiang, we're going to disturb you."
"Not at all."
Jiang Meishu said frankly, "It's an honor for Lao Liang and me that you and Brother Xiao can come here."
"Alright, alright, let's all get in the car. It's too sunny outside."
Qiao Jiahui couldn't stand it anymore and came over to smooth things over.
Secretary Chen, who was originally making eye contact with Liang Qiurun, immediately looked over warily. He thought to himself, could it be that someone has come to replace him?
Or did the leader find someone else to enjoy himself after arriving in Guangzhou?
However, this person's business ability doesn't seem to be very good.
I'm afraid I'm not even half as good as him.
Liang Qiurun and Secretary Chen had been partners for over a decade, so he couldn't miss the expression on his face. He sighed and introduced, "Chen Zhen, this is Hongtai's young boss, Qiao Jiahui."
Secretary Chen's hostile expression instantly changed to his signature smile. "Hello, Boss Qiao! You are truly a young and promising person."
I cursed so hard in my heart the last second.
The next second he praised her without changing his expression.
Qiao Jiahui didn't know Secretary Chen well enough, so he just extended his hand and shook it. "I've heard Qiu Run mention you before. He said you have strong business skills."
"We're all very happy that you can come."
Secretary Chen smiled, "Really? That's too much praise from my boss."
The topic is so fake that it gives people a headache.
Liang Qiurun interrupted the two people's greetings and said, "Get in the car."
In the car.
Liang Qiurun was driving Jiang Meishu, Jiang Meilan, Shen Xiaoju, and Wang Limei. There was only one seat left, so Secretary Chen squeezed over decisively and said, "The leader and I are in the same car."
Leaving behind Lao Xiao, Xu Aixiang, and Shen Zhanlie went to the car behind.
When the car arrived at Xiaobailou, everyone was shocked.
"Isn't it said that Yangcheng is very poor? How come there are such nice houses here?"
How should Jiang Meishu respond to this? She thought for a moment and said, "This used to be a concession. The houses were built by foreigners, not by us."
"No wonder."
Wang Limei sighed and said, "I used to think you suffered a lot in Guangzhou." When she saw the small white building, she suddenly felt that her daughter's coming to Guangzhou was not suffering at all, but clearly a blessing.
Jiang Meishu smiled and led them into the house.
A Zheng and Sister Zhang had already been waiting inside. Sister Zhang was cooking and A Zheng was helping her. He was now Liang Qiurun's driver and his personal secretary.
But, after everyone in the group went in.
Secretary Chen, who also works in the same profession, immediately felt a sense of crisis. "Boss, who is he?"
Take the initiative.
Before Liang Qiurun could explain, Qiao Jiahui spoke up, "A Zheng is the secretary I arranged for Brother Qiurun, but now that you're here, Secretary Chen, I can take A Zheng away."
A Zheng has been his secretary and bodyguard whom he brought from Hong Kong from the very beginning. It was when Liang Qiurun first came that he couldn't handle the work alone, so Qiao Jiahui lent A Zheng to Liang Qiurun.
After hearing this, Secretary Chen's hostility towards Ah Zheng lessened by three points. "It's better to take him away."
He said sourly, "I've been working with my boss for more than ten years. If I were his secretary, he might only be familiar with me."
Listen to this.
Jiang Meishu listened carefully, and those who didn't know would think that these two were gay.
She took Jiang Meilan, Shen Xiaoju, and Wang Limei to look at houses.
After leaving the space.
Liang Qiurun called Secretary Chen to the study. As soon as they entered the study, Secretary Chen pretended to wipe away tears and said, "Leader, when you were away, I missed you every day."
"You've found a new love in Guangzhou. Leader, oh leader, do you have me in your heart?"
Liang Qiurun ignored his jokes, which were Secretary Chen's most common tactic to fool people.
Liang Qiurun didn't say anything either, just looked at him quietly.
Secretary Chen's smile suddenly disappeared, and all the jokes and gags disappeared. He called out softly, "Leader."
Respectful, yet a bit cautious.
This is a completely different attitude from that in front of Director Li.
Liang Qiurun looked at him for a long time and sighed, "Did you do anything about the meat processing plant?"
Secretary Chen nodded without hesitation and admitted straightforwardly, "It's me."
In front of his leader, he will not have any false concealments or lies.
Liang Qiurun, "Didn't I say that this matter ends here? Why are you still here?"
With so many people pulled out, if Secretary Chen hadn't run fast, he would have been killed too.
Secretary Chen murmured, "Leader, it was my fault that you were taken away."
"It was my fault for not cleaning up the environment and people around me. That's why you were taken away that week, and why you left the meat processing plant and came to Guangzhou."
"Leader, in the two hundred and three days since you left, I've constantly been reflecting and asking myself: If I had been more cautious, would you not have been taken away? If you hadn't been taken away, would you not have left the meat processing plant?"
When Liang Qiurun heard this, his heart suddenly ached. "Chen Zhen, my being taken away has nothing to do with you. Similarly, my resignation has nothing to do with you. You don't need me to carry my life on your shoulders."
Secretary Chen raised his head and looked at him. At this moment, their eyes met for the first time after more than two hundred days of separation.
In those eyes, there was Secretary Chen's guilt, regret, compensation, and fulfillment.
"No, it has something to do with me."
"It was because I failed to fulfill my duties as a secretary that you were taken away."
"But," he smiled with relief, "Leader, those who betrayed you have all been taken away. They are not as clean as you. Whether it's Li Defa or his accomplices, no one who participated at the time can escape."
This is retaliation, but it is also an open and aboveboard conspiracy.
These people had dirty hands, which allowed Secretary Chen to find evidence against them and bring them down.
After hearing this, Liang Qiurun stepped forward and gave Secretary Chen a hug. "Thank you."
His tone was sincere.
Secretary Chen was hugged so suddenly that he stood there in a daze, a little at a loss. Even his hands were lifted up in the air. He wanted to put them on the leader's back, but he didn't dare.
Secretary Chen and Liang Qiurun have been partners for more than ten years, and this is the first time they have had such close contact.
This made Secretary Chen a little nervous and a little surprised. "Leader, can you touch people now?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh."
"I'm not a human, but I'm an animal, right?"
Liang Qiurun, "..."
He let go of her hand and smiled, "Okay."
"Chen Zhen, welcome to Yangcheng."
He extended his hand and Secretary Chen shook it. Their eyes met and they smiled at each other. Everything was said without words.
*
Wang Limei and her friends stayed in Xiaobailou for two days, then went out to look for a house. Lao Xiao and Xu Aixiang also went with them.
There are so many of them, living under the same roof with Jiang Meishu and her husband. How can this be possible?
So once I have a break, I go out to look for a house right away.
No one was more familiar with the matter of finding a house than Li Wenjuan. As soon as Jiang Meishu asked her for help, Li Wenjuan immediately gave her a local middleman who specialized in the house business.
You have to know that Guangzhou is still in its embryonic stage, with many people going to the south every day. Gradually, middlemen specializing in the real estate business have emerged.
Jiang Meishu and her family wanted to do business on Xihu Street, so when the middleman helped them find a house, he also recommended the one here.
Finally watched a few sets.
We booked a small courtyard with four main rooms, a kitchen and a toilet.
Jiang Meilan doesn't want to live separately from Wang Limei. She wants to live with her, and Wang Limei can help take care of the children.
Since Lao Xiao and Xu Aixiang were unfamiliar with the place, they chose to live in a small courtyard with them but in different bedrooms.
After booking the house, it was time to pay the rent. Because the house was large, had its own yard, and was equipped with a well and water pipes, it was more expensive than other houses.
The rent alone is eighteen dollars a month.
Jiang Meishu originally wanted to help out, but Jiang Meilan refused. In the end, she paid half a year's rent in one go.
Old Xiao shared his share equally with Jiang Meilan.
The group settled down and began to think about ways to make money. After all, they had only been here for a few days, and they had already spent three figures on rent, food, and daily necessities. No one could bear it any longer.
Seeing that they were all settled, Jiang Meishu led them to Xihu Street to rent a stall. Because they arrived late, the good stalls had all been taken.
Jiang Meishu gave two packs of good cigarettes to the store manager, and only then did she get two good seats, plus her stall, for a total of three.
One of the stalls was given to Lao Xiao and Xu Aixiang, and the other was given to Jiang Meilan and Wang Limei.
As for Jiang Meishu's stall, it was empty. A Zheng couldn't come, and his stall was taken back by Qiao Jiahui.
She was still short of one person. Finally, Jiang Meilan waved her hand and said, "I'll call Shen Yinping over. This girl is a natural at business."
Shen Yinping arrived in Guangzhou on time five days later. For this purpose, she specially resigned from her temporary job in the meat processing plant union.
With Shen Yinping, the partnership is complete.
Jiang Meishu took them to see the goods, including the Li's Garment Factory, the Electronic Watch Factory, the Harmonica Factory, and the Toy Factory.
All of these were stepped on by Jiang Meishu.
When purchasing goods, Jiang Meilan, because she had some money, ordered goods worth two thousand yuan at a time and sold them in piles to give people the illusion that business was good.
As Lao Xiao and Xu Aixiang were short of money, they only asked for goods worth 500 yuan, which was their total net worth.
Wang Limei didn't ask for any goods. She was just a partner in selling goods. No matter whether it was the eldest daughter Jiang Meilan or the younger daughter Jiang Meishu, she would go wherever they needed her.
The stall was set up like this.
On the first day of business, things started out fine, but around four or five in the afternoon, customers gradually started to come in, and people coming and going asked about the prices of the goods.
Ask and buy, buy and leave.
This straightforward payment method simply stunned Wang Limei. "Isn't that just money they're spending?"
How can you spend tens or hundreds of dollars without blinking an eye?
Jiang Meishu was selling clothes at a stall. She couldn't stand hardship, so after selling for a while, she saw Shen Yinping was running the business alone, so she started to slack off. "They took the goods and went back to continue their business. What's there to save?"
She looked back at Shen Yinping, who was still busy like a top, not tired at all, but smiling. She immediately patted Shen Yinping on the shoulder and said, "Wait, Yinping, I'll give you a raise!"
It would be a shame not to pay such a capable girl a high salary.
Shen Yinping wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Sister, you've given me enough." She worked as a temporary worker in the Capital Meat Processing Plant, earning 18 yuan a month.
She came to work for Jiang Meishu, and the other party directly offered her a salary of hundreds of yuan. Where could she find such a high salary?
She doesn't work harder.
Then she is an idiot.
Jiang Meishu looked at her diligence and sighed, "This girl is really amazing."
Jiang Meilan knew her sister was lazy, "Don't go to help her. You'd better stay by the side and watch for us to see if anyone steals anything."
Jiang Meishu uttered a clear sigh.
As expected, when someone else is doing the work, she is just a pendant.
By eight or nine in the evening, everyone was very hungry and went out to look around but couldn't find anything to eat.
Finally I bought a few bowls of sweet soup to fill my stomach.
As Xu Aixiang drank the sugar water, she said cautiously, "Sister Jiang, how about I come and sell some food when the time comes?"
Lao Xiao alone is enough to run their stall.
Jiang Meishu was stunned. She took a sip of the sweet syrup and said subconsciously, "Of course."
"Sister-in-law, you are a good cook. What do you want to sell?"
Xu Aixiang said embarrassedly, "I don't know either. I just want to have a meal to fill my stomach."
Jiang Meishu, "Then let's sell lunch boxes. You can come and sell them in the evening. Make them at home in advance, put them in foam boxes and bring them over."
"This way you can sell lunch boxes and help Brother Xiao collect the money."
These people all have multiple jobs.
Xu Aixiang sighed, "Then I'll make it when I get home tonight. Let's all try it first."
Naturally, no one objected.
After finishing the day's stall, it was already half past eleven when I got home. Shen Xiaoju was already asleep at home, which made me feel particularly distressed.
Jiang Meishu said to Jiang Meilan, "Find a daycare center for Xiaoju. We can't let her stay at home like this."
“Shen Zhanlie can’t stay here for a few days, so we should plan Xiaoju’s whereabouts in advance.”
Jiang Meilan, "That's what I mean."
She sighed, "Even if she goes to daycare, she still needs someone to pick her up. We're so busy here, how can we have anyone to pick her up?"
There are always people at the stall.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and talk to Lao Liang and see if he can spare some time to pick up Xiaoju from school after get off work every day."
Jiang Meilan was still a little hesitant.
Jiang Meishu said, "I'm just asking, it might not work."
"Okay, okay, if it doesn't work, I'll go and answer it." Wang Limei and Shen Yinping both rushed to answer.
Jiang Meilan touched Xiaoju's face and said, "We'll see when the time comes."
"How about some money first?"
Wang Limei urged.
Jiang Meilan then took out a bag of money, including both large-scale unity banknotes and loose change.
After finally counting them, the total was one thousand three hundred and eighty-five.
After deducting the cost of two thousand, I still lost eight hundred.
Wang Limei was confused. "How can I lose money?"
She is illiterate and can only do some small calculations.
Jiang Meilan sighed, "We haven't sold out yet. We should still have 1,300 pieces."
"From this afternoon to this evening, I sold 700 yuan worth of goods, but I collected over 1,300 yuan. My profit is about 600 yuan."
After listening to this, Wang Limei murmured, "No wonder everyone is scrambling to get to the south."
“This is picking up money.”
Jiang Meilan hummed, "We'll man the stall here, and Shen Zhanlie will run the goods north and south. We'll make money from both ends."
Jiang Meishu, "I won't eat the goods from the north and south for this money, it's your only one."
After all, she wasn't involved anymore, unlike before.
Jiang Meilan also knew that her sister had shares in the garment factory, so she did not object.
In the evening, Liang Qiurun waited for her for a long time but she still hadn't come back, so he drove to pick her up. Just then, Jiang Meishu came out, so he got out of the car and called out, "Jiang Jiang."
"Home."
