Just thinking about these things gives me a headache, even more so than those trivial things in the countryside.
More importantly, how can I rescue An Lan?
Judging from what she said when she met An Lan today, it seemed that she didn't care about her own situation at all, and only thought about the company's situation.
She doesn't care about herself, but I do!
It seems that I have to get people involved in politics to intervene in this matter, and maybe I can understand it.
After thinking about it, I decided to trouble Jiang Tao again to see if he could use his identity to help me find out what happened with An Lan.
At this time, Yang Man asked me: "Mr. Chen, is there anything you need me to do for you?"
I thought about it and said to her: "Go down and inform all current employees in the company that they will start working normally tomorrow, and also make statistics on the details of each department."
"Okay, then you rest for a while and I'll get you a glass of water."
"Thanks."
She smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the office.
I immediately took out my mobile phone, found Jiang Tao's number, and dialed him.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Tao's friendly voice came: "How are you, Dashan? Are you still used to it when you go back?"
"Hey!" I sighed first, and then said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't know something! This is really a big problem for me."
"How to say?"
"I really can't explain a word or two, but I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Jiang Tao coughed twice and then asked me: "What's going on? Just tell me."
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you feel so weak when speaking?"
"It's okay, maybe I'm tired. Just tell me your story, I'm fine."
I didn't think about it any more, so I said to him: "It's like this. An Lan is now in the detention center. The current situation is a bit unclear. Even she herself doesn't know why this happened. After thinking about it, maybe
Let people from your political circles step in to understand it and see if it’s suitable?”
Jiang Tao thought for a moment on the other end of the phone and said to me: "Okay, can you tell me An Lan's details and which detention center she is in?"
“I’ll send it to you via WeChat later.”
Jiang Tao responded and said to me: "Don't be too anxious. I will tell you as soon as I have news."
"Well, thank you County Magistrate Jiang, don't be too tired. I heard Xiaoyun (Secretary Jiang Tao) said that you often skip breakfast, so this is unacceptable."
"Why does this stinky girl tell you everything?"
"Don't blame him, he also cares about you, and" I paused and said, "I think Xiaoyun is really good to you, and the little girl seems to have that kind of meaning for you as well. If you think it's appropriate,
Think about it!”
Jiang Tao smiled and said, "I'm seven or eight years older than her, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Why isn't it appropriate? After all, I have reached the legal age for marriage."
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore and go about your own business! When I'm free, I'll come to Chengdu to have a drink with you."
"Then I will remember it."
After a brief exchange of greetings, we ended the call, and Yang Man came in after getting me a glass of water. She started tidying up the office without saying anything.
The office is quite messy and I haven't had time to tidy it up yet. It can be seen that this assistant really cares about it.
I said to her: "Yang Man, please stop doing these things."
"It's okay, I usually help with the cleaning," she said, then asked me, "Mr. Chen, you must have met Mr. An, right?"
I nodded and said, "I've seen it before."
"How is she doing? Is she okay?"
"It's not good. It feels like she has lost a lot of weight."
"Yes!" Yang Man also sighed, "Mr. An has been very busy every day for more than a month, and I feel that she had already anticipated the company's current situation a month ago."
"How do you know?" I asked her after taking a sip of tea.
"It feels like she doesn't say anything."
I can also feel that An Lan should have known about it in advance, so he made such complete preparations, so complete that I can take over immediately as soon as I come back.
Just why didn't she tell me about this a month ago?
Or was she not sure about the current situation at the time?
In the evening, I called Fu Zhiqiang.
"Brother, is something wrong?" Fu Zhiqiang asked me as soon as the call was connected.
"Can you help me find a place to live? It doesn't have to be how old I am."
"No problem, brother, where are you now? I'll pick you up."
"I'm at the company. I'll be waiting for you downstairs right away."
After hanging up the phone, I packed up, took my luggage and left the company.
I originally thought that I could just live in the company, since it is such a big place, but this building is going to be sold, so I naturally have to find a place to live.
Not long after waiting downstairs, Fu Zhiqiang drove up in his Toyota Prado.
After the car stopped, he took the initiative to get out of the car and help me carry my luggage to the car. He waited for me to get in the car before he got into the cab.
After starting the car, he said to me: "Brother, I just told you that it is not convenient to live in the company. I have already found a house for you. You can just move in and don't have to worry about anything."
"I just find it quite troublesome."
Fu Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Brother, you still say trouble to me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today, so don't say trouble to me."
I didn't say anything more, just chatted along the way, and soon arrived at the place he had found for me.
What I didn't expect was that this was where he lived.
I felt a little strange, so I asked him: "Isn't this your community? The house you are looking for is in the same community as yours?"
"Stay at my house!"
"This, how can this be done! You are already married, I can't stay at your house. Stop the car, stop the car quickly." I called him hastily.
"It's okay, brother, I've already agreed with Jingjing, and she is willing."
"This is not something you just want to do. Just obey me and stop the car immediately. I don't want to be a light bulb for you."
"Brother, our room is spacious, you don't have to worry about privacy or anything."
I said helplessly: "Stop talking, I said no, it just won't work, what kind of words are these! You're not married yet, you're already married, but I can't live in your house."
Fu Zhiqiang finally stopped the car and was silent for a while before saying to me: "That's it! I'll rent you a house right away."
I waved my hand towards him, unbuckled my seat belt, and said to him, "No, I'll go find it myself."
"Brother, don't do this. I really don't mind it."
"I thought you had really found a house for me before I called you, but you brought me to live at your house. How unbecoming is this?"
"There is a place to live, but after thinking about it, that place is too humid."
"Where?" I asked him immediately.
"Right near the company, there is a warehouse used to store sundries."
"So what? As long as you can get shelter from the rain and wind, it's fine. Take me there now." I said in a commanding tone.
"Brother, do you really want to do this? I can definitely help you rent a house."
"No need, don't make it look like you are rich, I will live in that warehouse, it happens to be close to the company."
"Brother, me"
"If you want to ink again, I'll get off now."
Fu Zhiqiang sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll take you there right now."
