Chapter 404: Endless Desire
Today, the company provided escort for a large-scale government gala and provided a stable electricity supply. Afterwards, Uncle Huang also allowed me to accompany the provincial government leaders for a meal.
At the dinner table, Uncle Huang also introduced himself.
Chu Yang usually had a high status, but today he was basically at the bottom of the list. He could only toast them very humbly, and he couldn't even raise his glass higher, which made him tremble with fear.
I don't know who it was, but someone said that Chu Yang was Li Jiakun's son-in-law. A certain leader was surprised again and said that he and Li Jiakun were good brothers. Suddenly, Chu Yang's status at the dinner table improved a little.
At least when I toasted, others looked at me a little more.
That's class.
That's status.
A certain leader said, "Comrade Chu Yang is indeed young and promising. I also know Mr. Liu from the past. I think he will soon join your board of directors."
Chu Yang also answered very modestly: "I dare not think about this."
The leader laughed and said, "Director Liu of your company is a man who loves talents. How could he let go of a talent like you?"
“Haha, thank you for your kind words.” Chu Yang smiled without saying anything.
Come back after dinner.
Uncle Huang also talked to me about career planning. I should always look forward and not be satisfied with what I have now. Uncle Huang might have to rely on me in the future.
Chu Yang fell into deep thought.
Uncle Huang’s words made Chu Yang’s mood begin to waver.
If it were a few years ago, Chu Yang would never have had the extravagant thought of becoming a company director, because he knew that in the eyes of the old man Mr. Liu.
I am a bird flying onto the branch.
And he has another identity, that is, he is the son-in-law of Mr. Li, which means that he has no room for development in the company.
He is very prejudiced against himself.
Mr. Li once said to me very tactfully: "Chu Yang, you may succeed because you are my son-in-law, but you will fail because you are my son-in-law."
Of course, before Zhiying became a mother, before he became a father, and before Tianer was born, Chu Yang felt that being the head of a municipal company was enough and his life was without regrets.
But.
Human desires are endless.
Especially seeing that Uncle Huang is in such a high position, he has to be respectful and servile to a department of the provincial government. It is understandable that people still have to strive for a higher position.
People will sing the song that suits the mountain they are on; there will never be a peak.
Chu Yang originally planned to stop in the stock market once he made 100 million, but now he has made 200 million and still thinks it’s not enough!
Zhiying can be considered a girl who is pure-hearted and does not like to compete with the world, but every day she feels that the milk powder her Tianer eats is not good enough. She is also worried that Tianer cannot get the best education, and sometimes she clamors to go back to the province.
So, people.
Many people say that once you have made enough money, you should stop and enjoy life.
But can this fucked up life really make you stop?
It's difficult.
After a while, Cai Shanshan came to Chu Yang's office with the information. She didn't know whether it was because she had served Chu Yang for a long time or because she had been nourished more, she became younger and more attractive.
"Boss Chu, I received a phone call from Director Zhang of the provincial company office informing me that Director Liu of the company is expected to come to our Baichuan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow for a comprehensive inspection. Let us be prepared for the reception."
Chu Yang was distracted for a moment, then asked, "Who?"
Cai Shanshan smiled and said, "It's Director Liu."
Chu Yang frowned, then smiled: "Haha, he is finally coming."
In fact, since Chu Yang became the head of Baichuan, President Liu has never come to Baichuan City Company again, while several other chairmen have come one after another.
Cai Shanshan also sighed: "Yes, Director Liu hasn't come to our place for a long time. It seems that your efforts have finally paid off, and Director Liu can't sit still anymore."
Cai Shanshan probably knew something about the discord between Chu Yang and Director Liu. She thought Chu Yang was working so hard to build Baichuan into a first-class enterprise in the province in order to prove something to Director Liu.
Chu Yang: "I'm afraid you're not here to make yourself look good."
Cai Shanshan: "Haha, Mr. Chu, you are really humorous."
Chu Yang: "Okay, come on, let's just do our own thing."
The next morning, Cai Shanshan came to report again: "Boss Chu, we have received a notice that Director Liu will go to Nanping for an inspection first, and then if he has enough time when he comes back, he will stop by to visit us. That's too much. That's not what he said yesterday. Boss Chu, we are in a passive position now. We don't know if Director Liu will come or not. We are all waiting."
Cai Shanshan seemed very angry, her chest puffed up with anger, which was quite exaggerated.
Chu Yang also thought it was "extremely ridiculous".
Come and have a look when you have time.
Damn, it’s better not to come.
Now the whole company has stopped working, waiting for him to come, but now we don’t even know whether he will come or not. Isn’t this funny?
Chu Yang said coldly: "Tell everyone to do what they should do, and just treat it as if he is not here."
Although Cai Shanshan was angry, she was still surprised for a moment: "This, Mr. Chu, this is not good, what if Mr. Liu really comes."
Chu Yang: "Let's talk about it later. He is not a high and mighty person."
Cai Shanshan curled her lips: "This is not high enough."
In fact, Chu Yang didn't know that this was Mr. Liu's strategy. Sometimes, he would just go and take a look. This showed that he didn't value you, Baichuan, at all, although you, Chu Yang, had made some achievements.
But so what.
Can't let you drift.
It turns out that Mr. Liu came "on his way".
Chu Yang didn't have any equipment, so he took Mr. Chen and Mr. Guo to receive him. Although there were fewer people, they were sincere enough.
Others may not understand the rules, but you still have to follow them.
Who says others are the big leaders?
Director Liu was more confident when he saw that all the comrades in Baichuan's team were present and in good spirits. However, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Chu Yang's calm face.
Although you, Chu Yang, are a talented person, you also have to pay attention to me.
Many times, he didn't know why Chu Yang was so capable, much more capable than his son Liu Jun, whom he had sent to Chouping to be the top leader.
Then Chouping had three major safety accidents within one year.
Seven or eight people died.
If he hadn't suppressed the matter, there would have been a huge uproar.
When Director Liu arrived, he pretended to be polite and greeted Chu Yang and the others.
Chu Yang deliberately kept a distance from him and only chatted in a low voice with Minister Zhang Shuyu in the office. Hao Yingjie and others who were accompanying him also had a good relationship with Chu Yang.
Mr. Liu was not satisfied with Chu Yang's attitude, but he couldn't say anything because Chu Yang's achievements were there, so he still shook hands with Chu Yang with a smile.
It was agreed in advance that they would just drop by for a visit, so Chu Yang did not make too many ceremonial arrangements. Everyone entered the company's large conference room, and Director Liu gave a routine speech, which was nothing more than reminding everyone to pay attention to production safety, the working environment in high temperature weather, and protective measures in extreme weather.
Of course, he had no choice but to highly praise the achievements of the Baichuan team. In the end, he emphasized on praising Chu Yang, as if he wanted to shake hands and make peace with Chu Yang.
Although Chu Yang didn't care about him in his heart, he still had to stand up and speak, expressing his willingness to unite closely around Director Liu to get all the work done. This rubbish meeting lasted for more than an hour with everyone talking back and forth.
After the meeting, Chu Yang tried to persuade Director Liu to stay for dinner, but Director Liu waved his hand and said he didn't want to eat anymore and went back.
Chu Yang looked regretful.
In fact, I didn't prepare dinner for them at all.
If you really want to eat it, it’s not difficult to just make a phone call.
