"Mr. Jiang, I have something else to do. I have to go and do some work first. Let's see you at noon." Xia Zekai said, shook hands with Jiang Honggang, and walked towards the office building.
Behind, a young man following Jiang Honggang saw Xia Zekai's handsome back and thought that Xia Zekai was not much older than him. He was really envious: "Mr. Jiang, is this the Boss Xia you often mention? Why is he so young?"
"Well, he is very young to begin with, not yet thirty years old. Xiao Chen, let me tell you, if you look beyond Acme's three-acre land, you are right to regard Boss Xia as your target.
." Jiang Honggang said this.
He said: "If I don't say much, if you can reach the stage that Boss Xia is now, your father will be proud of you."
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, I'd better surpass my dad first!" Chen Yinghe felt unsure at all.
His father is the vice president of Acme Intelligent Factory Design Institute, and he and Jiang Honggang have been starting a business together for more than ten years. This time, at the repeated request of his father, Chen Kunsheng, he was asked to follow him to see the world.
"Xiao Chen, don't belittle yourself. You have just graduated. There is still a lot of time in the future. No one can say what will happen tomorrow." Jiang Honggang comforted him.
He regretted bringing Chen Yinghe to see Xia Zekai. Don't give him a goal that was too high and he couldn't achieve it. If it crushed him in turn, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lao Chen.
Let's say that after Xia Zekai entered the office building, he took the stairs to the third floor and entered his office on the east side. He first called Lu Huan and asked him to arrange for someone to book a hotel in advance and meet with Acme at noon.
Mr. Jiang has a meal.
Lu Chen agreed directly.
He was originally thinking about how to ask Xia Zekai if he had time to have a meal with Mr. Jiang at noon. Unexpectedly, the boss mentioned this matter in advance, which saved him the trouble.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen went to arrange the matter.
Xia Zekai had a lot of things to do, and the whole morning passed by without realizing it. It wasn't until Lu Chen came to ask him to go out for dinner together that Xia Zekai realized that it was noon.
"Lao Lu, where are you staying?" Xia Zekai asked as he walked out with his things.
Lu Chen said: "We booked the Century Hotel, and I just happened to have a delicious meal."
"You old Lu, if you tell me, others will think that I am usually stingy." Xia Zekai raised his hand and pointed at him, asking: "How much of the goal has been achieved? When has the goal been achieved? Eat whatever you want, don't shout.
Just hold on."
When Lu Chen heard his boss ask about this, he raised his fingers and said, "I asked Manager Sun, and he said that sales in June should be much higher than in May, and there is not much change between online and now.
, but our sales in channel terminals are growing very fast, especially after children’s toilet sanitary ware opened up the market with food in channel terminals, the sales of this area more than tripled.”
"Really!" Xia Zekai was very happy when he heard this. He said, "Drink more later and call them all together another day. Let's get together in private."
"Okay!" Lu Hao responded. When the two of them passed by the second floor, Lu Hao went to call Wang Yewei, Zhang Xu, and Zhang San to follow them.
Sun Guoqiang said that as he gets older, he will no longer participate in such occasions.
After leaving the office building and meeting up with Jiang Honggang and others, they drove two GL8s straight to the Century Hotel.
We were very drunk at noon. Jiang Honggang even asked a young man named Chen to toast him a glass of wine. Xia Zekai also drank, but he was not familiar with him and did not remember his name.
Jiang Honggang took Chen Yinghe directly to Jicheng in the afternoon. The other party was a government project in Jicheng. It was a big project and he would have to rely on Jicheng for the next week to half a month.
But Jiang Honggang also knew in his heart that even though this project was big, it was not as enjoyable as working for Xia Zekai. In terms of overall efficiency, it was not as profitable as a project like Xia Zekai's.
Government projects are particularly unpleasant when settling accounts. If you encounter someone who has no money this term and refuses to accept the payment the next term, hey, delaying you for two or three years is just like playing games.
But there are some projects that show strength and dignity, and you can't do them if you don't do them.
"If you can win the tender, just do it. If the tender fails, forget it." Jiang Honggang thought in his heart.
…
On the other side, after sending Jiang Honggang away, Xia Zekai and Lu Chen went back to the company. Xia Zekai sat in the company for a short time before leaving, and asked Lu Chen to arrange for someone to drive him home.
He thought to himself that he should hire a driver for himself. There would be many occasions for eating and drinking in the future, so it would not be a problem to always find a driver at last minute.
In the afternoon, after Xia Zekai picked up his two daughters, he took them to eat delicious food.
His wife didn't come back for dinner tonight. Xia Zekai thought that he couldn't treat the three of them badly. Yatou and Tongtong ate very happily.
"Dad, do you want to leave some for mom?" the girl asked, pointing to the beef on the table.
She really liked this dish, but she had a small appetite and couldn't finish it after eating a few pieces.
Xia Zekai curled his lips and said, "I won't stay anymore. Mom went to eat some good food. I didn't even think about you. If you brought it back, mom wouldn't eat it either."
"That won't work, I will take it back to my mother, hum!" Tongtong was not happy either.
Xia Zekai wondered if the roles were changed today, would you think of me?
…
On the other side, at Qicheng Hotel, Qi Jiahui hosted a banquet for all department managers and supervisors of Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd. today.
For different levels, we were divided into two tables to sit at.
Unlike Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., whose functional departments are not yet complete, Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd. has fully equipped the positions of each functional department from the beginning before production.
It can also be seen from here that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is still a long way from being a real big company.
In the room, Qi Jiahui took the initiative to pick up a glass of red wine and gestured towards their table and the supervisor's table: "Everyone, our Qicheng Adeli Co., Ltd. has overdue the deadline for the first half of this year."
The packaging plan will be much better for us in the next six months."
"Here, I would like to express my special thanks to the managers in our production department, mold making, research and development room, technology department, firing department, and packaging department, as well as the teams you led to work overtime to ensure the output of the product."
"I would like to especially thank the managers in charge of the supply chain, quality department, equipment engineering team, and safety administration department and your teams for their strong support to the production department. It is also because of your silent dedication that we were able to successfully complete the half-year goal beyond the deadline!
"
"Come, let's have a drink together!" Qi Jiahui was very proud. As soon as she finished speaking, she put the wine glass to her mouth and drank the rose-red wine in one gulp.
Everyone else also drank the red wine.
It was obvious that I couldn't survive without drinking this glass of wine. Whoever said I had to stop drinking or that I was not feeling well could not drink alcohol, now I just poured it into my mouth.
Unless you don’t want to eat this bowl of rice at Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd.!
But in fact, they really don't want to leave.
After a glass of wine, everyone at the two tables took a breath and ate some dishes to rest their stomachs.
After all, red wine has a lot of staying power.
After a few minutes, Qi Jiahui spoke up: "Everyone, this second glass of wine is for us to thank ourselves for working hard and achieving the set goals. Let's not do it this time and drink half of it."
She was quite open-minded and drank half of the drink after she finished speaking.
Luo Xiyun frowned. He drank the cup just now with a bit of reluctance. It took only a while before he drank again.
But go with the flow!
She first took two mouthfuls of cold seasonal vegetables, and then drank half of it. The wine mixed with the vegetables made her feel much better.
After putting down the wine glass, Luo Xiyun took two spoonfuls of white meatball soup to sober up.
After this combination of punches, many men couldn't stand this frequency. Luo Xiyun really stopped drinking this time. She also told Qi Jiahui that she really couldn't drink enough and would vomit if she drank again.
Qi Jiahui said: "Everyone, our manager Luo really went too far tonight. If this is the case, then manager Luo will drink juice..."
"Speaking of which, I would like to express my special thanks to Manager Luo for her efforts. She has been discussing the popularization time of the quality management system with KOS at the Magic City headquarters, and has bought us enough time, but next we must spend 100% of the time.
We devote our energy to quality control of products and provide a strong guarantee for increasing production."
Qi Jiahui is a very talkative person. She talks a lot, and others have to listen carefully even if they are not happy.
Time continued to move forward, and before I knew it, it was past eight o'clock, then nine o'clock, and it was heading straight to ten o'clock.
Even if they drink red wine all the time, by this time they can no longer handle it frequently and in large amounts, and some people can no longer hold it.
But Qi Jiahui didn't say anything about leaving, and no one else mentioned leaving.
Fortunately, Qi Jiahui also knew that it was quite late. It was past nine-fifty. She said, "It's getting late. Let's just stop here today. Everyone should go back and pay attention to safety."
"Mr. Qi, please pay attention to safety." Someone was very attentive.
After Luo Xiyun drank, she went out and looked for a driver.
But before she could find anyone, her cell phone rang first, and Xia Zekai's name flashed on the screen in the night light.
Luo Xiyun felt happy, this was considered a tacit understanding.
She answered the phone, and then heard Xia Zekai's voice: "Daughter-in-law, it's not over yet. Yatou and Tongtong are both asleep."
"I just came out after drinking. I'm going to find a driver!" Luo Xiyun said.
Hearing what she said, Xia Zekai hurriedly said: "Stop looking for it. Where is the food? I'll be there right away."
“Qicheng Hotel!”
Everyone else in the company greeted Luo Xiyun and drove or took a taxi. Some people wanted to ride in Luo Xiyun's car, but when they heard Luo Xiyun say that her husband was coming to pick her up, the others were too embarrassed to ride in Luo Xiyun's car.
Drive or take a taxi and leave
Qi Jiahui left relatively late. When she saw Luo Xiyun hadn't left yet, she came over to chat with her.
"Manager Luo, you haven't left yet."
"Oh, it's Mr. Qi. Didn't I drink? Wait for my husband to come pick me up." Luo Xiyun said.
After Qi Jiahui heard this, her eyes flashed with envy. She said, "You are so kind. Since there is someone to pick you up, I won't worry about it and will leave first."
"Hey, Mr. Qi, drive slower," Luo Xiyun said.
The driver in the company is still waiting for Qi Jiahui, so there is no need to worry about her safety.
Qi Jiahui walked for a few minutes, and Xia Zekai took a taxi. He saw Luo Xiyun at the door, paid the fare, and got off.
After taking the car key from Luo Xiyun, he smelled it and said, "You haven't drunk much."
"I stopped drinking after two drinks. The others were too drunk. Hurry up and drive there. Yatou and Tongtong are still asleep at home. Let's go back as soon as possible." Luo Xiyun nagged him.
Normally, forget it, there are two children at home, and the ink stains are nothing.
Xia Zekai picked up the car in the hotel parking lot and drove Luo Xiyun quickly towards Ziyu Garden Community. There were few cars at this point, so Xia Zekai drove very fast.
When they arrived home, Yatou and Tongtong were sleeping soundly.
Luo Xiyun finished changing her clothes and slippers, and was about to wash up. She smelled the smell of meat in the living room, and moved her eyes to the coffee table, where she saw a big bowl with something in a plastic bag.
She asked: "Zekai, what is that?"
"Beef, when I took them to dinner, Yatou and Tongtong were worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat at night, so they asked me to buy an extra portion. Will you eat it?" Xia Zekai said.
Hearing what he said, Luo Xiyun's movements froze.
She never expected this to happen, so she asked: "Did they really ask you to buy me food?"
"Otherwise, my wife, let me tell you, when I said there was no need to buy it, they were still making a fuss in the restaurant and refused to leave. They had to wait for me to buy it before coming back."
"The girl also said that she would put it on the table and eat it when you come back." Xia Zekai said sourly.
After he finished speaking, he asked his wife: "It's a bit cold. Do you want to eat it? If so, I'll heat it up for you."
"No need to heat it up, I'll just eat two pieces to taste." Luo Xiyun said.
There were disposable chopsticks in the drawer in front of the coffee table. She took out a pair, put two pieces into her mouth and chewed them. She ate slowly.
What she eats is not beef, but feeling.
It was already past eleven midnight when the couple went to bed.
The phone was thrown into the living room and turned off mute.
In the dark night, Luo Xiyun's cell phone flashed many times in succession, but Luo Xiyun was never connected. Only then did the flickering fluorescent screen return to darkness, and then became silent.
When Luo Xiyun got up the next morning, he made egg soup first, poured the beef from last night into the pot and heated it up, and then heated up some steamed buns.
After everything was done, she took it out and put it on the coffee table. She was about to call Xia Zekai to get up for dinner. When she saw the screen of the mobile phone on the sofa lit up, she picked it up and saw that it was Qi Jiahui's secretary Wang Di calling.
She was confused, when did Wang Di call her at this point?
I was wondering if Mr. Qi had something urgent to do with me?
The next moment, she easily answered the phone: "Secretary Wang, good morning!"
"Oh, my manager Luo, I finally got through to you. I'm not feeling well at all right now." Wang Di was very upset when he came up.
This left Luo Xiyun stunned, and she wondered if she had missed something.
She looked again and saw that there were still 7 missed calls on her phone, but as soon as she answered Wang Di's call, she didn't know who was calling.
What happened?
"Secretary Wang, please speak slowly." Luo Xiyun comforted her.
Wang Di was now impatient and couldn't slow down: "Manager Luo, when did you leave last night?"
"I came back after ten o'clock, Secretary Wang, tell me what happened?" Luo Xiyun said.
Wang Di said: "Manager Zhang from the supply chain had a car accident on his way home last night. He is still being treated in the hospital. He is very serious."
"Manager Zhang was in a car accident? You mean Manager Zhang Nian?" Luo Xiyun almost thought she heard wrong.
"Yeah!" Wang Di responded.
After hearing the news, Luo Xiyun forgot to wake Xia Zekai up.
We were eating at the same table last night, so why did we hear the news that he had a car accident this morning? This is a bit unexpected.
"We've found out, what's going on?" Luo Xiyun asked her.
Wang Di didn't know the specific situation. She said: "The traffic police team called Mr. Qi and then investigated some things."
"Mr. Qi probably called you, Manager Luo, last night. Manager Luo may not have heard." Wang Di said tactfully.
Luo Xiyun listened quietly. After a while, when Luo Xiyun finished speaking, she said: "Secretary Wang, I'll be quiet for a moment."
"Hey!" Wang Di hung up the phone.
Luo Xiyun clicked on the seven missed calls that overlapped together, including three from Zhang Nian, a landline phone, and Qi Jiahui's phone number.
It seemed that someone from the traffic police team took out Zhang Nian's mobile phone and called her.
Luo Xiyun felt that this matter was a bit messed up.
Xia Zekai came out of the bedroom. He asked about the smell of meat and where he was going to eat, only to see his wife sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"daughter in law!"
He shouted, but Luo Xiyun didn't respond.
Xia Zekai wondered why she was so absorbed in her thoughts, so he went over and patted her on the shoulder. This pat shocked Luo Xiyun and made her whole body tremble, like an instinctive reaction after being distracted.
Then I heard Luo Xiyun say: "What are you doing!"
"I called you just now, but you didn't agree. What happened? What happened?"
Luo Xiyun said with a strange expression: "The supply chain manager who was drinking together last night got into a car accident on the way back. Secretary Wang from the general manager's office called me just now. I don't know the specific situation yet."
"Did he drink?" Xia Zekai asked.
Luo Xiyun gave him a roll of his eyes: "On that occasion last night, how dare he not drink."
"That is to say, I fell down after drinking two drinks, and the others didn't even dare to fart." Luo Xiyun said tyrannically.
She was confident, and two glasses of wine were enough to give her face.
"In other words, he drank too much, drove back by himself, and then crashed into someone else?" Xia Zekai summed it up in one sentence.
Luo Xiyun was also confused. She said: "That may be the case. Someone called me last night. My phone was on silent and I didn't receive the call."
"What does it have to do with whether you answer the phone or not? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you. Let's eat first. You can go to the company later and inquire later." Xia Zekai gave her a suggestion. There was no point in worrying about it now.
This was the last resort. Luo Xiyun ate a few pieces of beef in a hurry, drank a bowl of egg soup, then picked up his things and drove away.
Xia Zekai sighed: "Drunk driving, hey!"
…
After Luo Xiyun drove to the company, she stopped the car and walked all the way from the parking lot. She met Jing Yunlong from the Security Administration Department and Jiang Xiao from the Finance Department. The expressions on their faces were a little unnatural.
They also asked Luo Xiyun if he knew about the accident that happened last night.
Luo Xiyun thought, I am the last one to know about feelings.
"Secretary Wang called me this morning, do any of you know what happened?" Luo Xiyun asked them.
But both of them shook their heads, expressing that they didn't know.
This is difficult.
Luo Xiyun thought it was impossible to go to Qi Jiahui and ask.
But there was no need for her to go there. Qi Jiahui had already asked Wang Di to summon the managers and supervisors for a meeting.
In the company's large conference room, all the managers except Zhang Zhang Nian were present, waiting for Qi Jiahui to come over.
In the past, meetings here were quite lively, but today it was particularly quiet.
Luo Xiyun heard a lot of people talking about the car accident in Zhang Zhang Nian. Many people's faces were a little panicked and stunned. What was she thinking about?
Qi Jiahui didn't keep them waiting for too long and came over soon.
"Everyone, to make a long story short, everyone must know it!" Qi Jiahui said as she came up.
No one in the room spoke.
Qi Jiahui was not angry either. She continued: "I received a call from the traffic police at about one o'clock last night, telling me that Manager Zhang had an accident and was being rescued in the hospital. The traffic police told me that he was at a traffic light intersection and an east-west intersection.
The car crashed into a piece, and the traffic police told me that he ran a red light..."
"I drank a lot of wine too," Qi Jiahui said.
"The specific situation of this matter is not clear yet. Let me hold a meeting for everyone first. This matter only applies to us people. Don't let me hear any employees talking about this matter." Qi Jiahui suddenly said this.
Does this mean a gag order?
Everyone in the conference room didn't know what they were thinking, and no one was in the mood to think about anything else at the moment.
Some people are thinking that this matter was brought by Mr. Qi on behalf of the company. If something happened to Manager Zhang, it has nothing to do with me, right?
Some people are also wondering whether they should wait until after get off work to go to the hospital to see Manager Zhang. What's going on?
Unfortunately, before they got off work to visit, news came from the hospital at noon that Zhang Zhang Nian could not be rescued because he was too seriously injured.
At this point, it was no longer possible to hide this matter even if I wanted to. The news first started to spread from the supply chain. In the afternoon, family members who were celebrating their new year came to the gate of Qicheng Adeli Co., Ltd. and cried.
Then, because there was such a big accident, the police came to understand the situation again. The police car was parked at the gate of the company. Many people who worked shift saw this scene when they went to work.
This matter spread instantly in Qicheng Adeli Co., Ltd., and I couldn’t cover it up even if I wanted to.
Luo Xiyun has been sitting in the office of the quality department all day. She didn't expect it to be so serious.
She sent a message to her husband Xia Zekai: "No one has been rescued."
