Chapter 655 Unexpected Guests
"So that's how it is... That's how it is..."
Zheng Guoyuan finally understood why Xu Guochu terminated the cooperation between Quanlin Factory and Youmin Factory, and why Jiang Youxing had such an attitude, and he actually agreed very readily.
After all this time, it seems that Jiang Youxing has been waiting for this for a long time. Maybe the so-called letter of complaint is also related to Jiang Youxing.
Recalling last year, Jiang Youxing came to him and wanted to redivide the benefits of the cooperation but was directly rejected by Zheng Guoyuan. After that, Zheng Guoyuan was worried that Jiang Youxing would cause trouble, so he used his connections to get a set of assembly lines, thus reducing Quanlin Factory's dependence on Youmin Factory a lot.
After that, Jiang Youxing never mentioned the incident again, and the cooperation between the two parties continued normally. As time passed, Zheng Guoyuan no longer took the matter to heart, but who would have thought that the final result would be like this.
Now, Youmin Factory has actually directly merged with Quanlin Factory. Jiang Youxing is about to become the new secretary of Youmin Factory, and Xu Guochu will be the director of the new Youmin Factory.
Jiang Youxing is not young anymore. According to his age, he will retire either next year or the year after. Before his retirement, he will serve as the secretary of a new enterprise. Due to the merger of the two factories, the scale of the Xinyoumin Factory has suddenly increased a lot. In addition, with the family fortune that Zheng Guoyuan has accumulated with great difficulty in the past few years, Jiang Youxing will not only be able to move up one level steadily, but also hold great power.
The same goes for Xu Guochu. One can imagine the role he played in this matter. Once Jiang Youxing retires, Xu Guochu, as the factory director, will naturally take over his position and become the head of the new factory.
As an excellent business manager, Zheng Guoyuan usually focuses on work and ignores other issues, but he is not stupid. From the current situation to the changes at the beginning, he connects all the things together and suddenly it becomes clear.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Guoyuan is a stumbling block for others. If they don't kick this stumbling block away first, how can they do the rest?
His face was miserable and his heart was cold.
His own factory was about to be gone. He had worked so hard for so many years and had led everyone to build up the factory, but now it became someone else's achievement. How could Zheng Guoyuan swallow this?
But what could he do? Now he was in a difficult situation, not only did he lose his job, but he also had a "hat" on his head. Zheng Guoyuan felt frustrated, powerless, angry, and desperate. He tried to control his emotions and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, his eyes went dark and he fell backwards amid the exclamations of Liu De and Xiao Qiang.
Zheng Guoyuan was hospitalized. The doctor said that he was overworked and mentally stimulated and needed to rest.
Lying on the hospital bed, Zheng Guoyuan stared blankly at the ceiling. He was completely different from his former energetic self.
Because of Xu Guochu, the factory did not send anyone to visit. Only Liu De, Xiao Qiang and several employees and cadres went to the hospital to see Zheng Guoyuan in their personal capacity.
Seeing Zheng Guoyuan lying on the hospital bed, everyone felt bad. A good enterprise has become like this. Years of hard work have gone down the drain, but there is nothing they can do.
While Zheng Guoyuan was in hospital, the merger of Youmin Factory and Quanlin Factory went on very quickly. With instructions from superiors and the consent and cooperation of the top leaders of the two factories, the merger was completed in less than half a month.
After the official merger, the Quanlin Factory sign that had been hanging at the factory gate for decades was taken down and replaced by the Youmin Factory sign.
When the factory sign was taken down, Liu De, Xiao Qiang and many other employees and cadres could not help but shed tears, feeling extremely sad.
Zheng Guoyuan stayed in the hospital for more than a week. Although the doctor said it would be best for him to rest for a while, Zheng Guoyuan still insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, he did not go to his factory because he was afraid that he would not be able to bear seeing the familiar factory again. After returning home, he locked himself in the room for three whole days without going out, which made Zheng Guoyuan's lover very anxious.
My husband is in trouble, but as a woman I am powerless to help.
Zheng Guoyuan's parents and younger brothers and sisters also came to visit him and tried to counsel him, but the effect was not very good.
In addition to Zheng Guoyuan's parents telling Zheng Guoyuan, his younger sister Zheng Li called home a few days ago and said that she was dating someone and they were getting along well, and she had already met his parents. According to Zheng Li, she planned to bring her boyfriend back to Jinling in the future to meet her family and discuss matters.
Hearing this, Zheng Guoyuan's face showed a little anger. He nodded slightly to show that he understood. As for anything else, he didn't ask or say anything. Seeing him like this, his parents could only sigh and could do nothing.
Just when everyone was worried about Zheng Guoyuan's decadence and didn't know how to enlighten him, Zheng Guoyuan got up early one morning, left the bedroom for the first time, and washed and tidied himself up.
He shaved his beard which had not been shaved for more than ten days, and washed his messy hair. Not only did he make it stand up neatly, he also applied some hair oil.
He also changed his torn old man's shirt and shorts into a new white shirt and a pair of black trousers. He took out his leather shoes, oiled them and wiped them so clean that they could reflect a person's shadow. After this tidying up, he looked not only energetic but also neat and tidy.
"Old Zheng, you...?" The lover who came back from the market after buying vegetables saw Zheng Guoyuan dressed like this and asked in surprise.
"I'm sorry to have worried you these days. Don't worry, it's all over now..." Zheng Guoyuan looked at his wife with a smile and reached out to touch her long hair.
The wife's eyes were filled with tears, but there was a smile on her face.
She has been extremely worried these days, fearing that Zheng Guoyuan would continue to sink into depravity and never recover.
In her heart, her husband is the pillar of the family. From the time she met her husband when she was young, to the time they fell in love, got married, and had children, over the years, her husband has always been a cheerful and decisive man.
Her husband is her support. In his wife's eyes, he is strong and omnipotent. But this blow is too heavy for him. Seeing him become a completely different person and becoming depressed, his wife feels really sad, but she can't help.
"I'm sorry for wronging you, it's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine..." Zheng Guoyuan said softly, holding his wife in his arms. His wife's tears wet his shoulders, and she bit her lip and nodded vigorously.
"I bought your favorite breakfast, let's eat." After a while, the wife broke free from Zheng Guoyuan's arms and smiled with tears in her eyes.
Zheng Guoyuan said okay, and his wife went to get breakfast. It was the first time in these days that Zheng Guoyuan ate so happily. He finished all the breakfast she bought, patted his stomach and said he was full.
His wife asked Zheng Guoyuan if he was going to the factory today. Zheng Guoyuan shook his head and told his wife that he was going to another place today, but he did not say where he was going.
After finishing breakfast, Zheng Guoyuan said he was leaving and went out with the black bag he usually carried to work. After leaving home, Zheng Guoyuan rode his bicycle and headed in one direction.
"Someone is looking for me?" At the headquarters of Si Te Company, Song Yuanchao was in a meeting with several department heads. Halfway through the meeting, the door of the small conference room was knocked open.
Song Yuanchao frowned slightly. He didn't like being disturbed when he was working, especially when there were visitors in a meeting, they should be received by the office staff first. Why would they come to ask him?
Just when Song Yuanchao was feeling a little angry, someone in the office whispered something in his ear. Song Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and without saying anything, he announced that the meeting would be suspended and would be resumed later.
After the announcement, Song Yuanchao stood up and walked out, crossed the office area and came to the lounge on the other side of the corridor, then pushed the door and entered.
"Oh my, what a rare guest, Director Zheng, how come you have time to come to my place today? Is this your first time here? Come on, come on, come to my office and sit down. A friend just happened to give me some delicious tea."
Seeing that it was Zheng Guoyuan, Song Yuanchao greeted him very warmly. Zheng Guoyuan stood up with a smile and shook hands with Song Yuanchao, and then under Song Yuanchao's enthusiasm, they went to his office together.
After entering the office, Song Yuanchao asked Zheng Guoyuan to sit down first and then he started to work.
A pot of good tea was quickly brewed, and when the tea was served, Zheng Guoyuan was invited to taste it.
Zheng Guoyuan took a sip and nodded, praising the tea. Song Yuanchao smiled and said that such good tea was necessary to entertain a distinguished guest like him, and if Zheng Guoyuan liked it, he could take a pack back when he left.
"Forget it. I can't afford such good tea. It won't be a good thing if I develop a picky taste for it." Zheng Guoyuan smiled and shook his head.
"Hahaha, look at what you said. It's normal to drink some good tea. No matter how good the tea is, it's not an expensive thing. Your Quanlin Factory is doing well this year. As the factory director, you make money and drink some tea. What's a big deal? Even if you don't drink it yourself, it's normal to make some to entertain guests." Song Yuanchao handed over a cigarette with a smile and lit it for Zheng Guoyuan.
Zheng Guoyuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that Song Yuanchao still didn't know what happened at Quanlin Factory.
But it is normal. Although Quanlin Factory is very important in Zheng Guoyuan's eyes, it is still just a small factory compared to Si Te Company. This is still the case even after the merger of Youmin Factory and Quanlin Factory.
As the chairman of Si Te Company, it is no exaggeration is very busy. Now Si Te Company is not only a large local enterprise in Jinling, but also a nationally renowned enterprise. Its sales volume and output value are extremely amazing.
Shaking his head, Zheng Guoyuan didn't know how to start for a moment.
He came to Song Yuanchao today after several days of consideration. Zheng Guoyuan was in an awkward situation now. He was absolutely unwilling to go back to the factory to work. As the director of Quanlin Factory, he was inexplicably accused and lost his position. Could he go back to the factory to be a front-line worker? Even if he was willing to fall from factory director to front-line worker, could Xu Guochu not continue to play tricks? Zheng Guoyuan couldn't stand this.
Moreover, the Quanlin Factory is gone now, and the new Youmin Factory has been established. Jiang Youxing and Xu Guochu each have a secretary and a factory. What is Zheng Guoyuan going to do in his return? Is he going to humiliate them?
