"Ah?" Zhou Yu froze.
Zhu Zhihang was the second-in-command of Changping. Even though he came without an appointment, out of courtesy, Zhou Yu felt that Xia Ruofei would at least receive him. She didn't expect him to reject so firmly.
Feng Jing glanced at Xia Ruofei and pondered for a moment before saying, "Zhou Yu, don't just stand there! Follow the chairman's orders and reply! "
Zhou Yu came back to her senses and quickly nodded. "Okay!"
After Zhou Yu left the office, Feng Jing frowned and asked, "Ruofei, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, County Head Zhu … "
Feng Jing actually didn't support Xia Ruofei doing this, but in front of Zhou Yu, she still had to protect Xia Ruofei's authority as the chairman. Now that there were no outsiders, Feng Jing voiced her opinion.
Xia Ruofei curled his lips and said plainly, "There's nothing inappropriate about it! I don't have a good impression of Changping County's leaders! So what if we ignore him? It's not like we're begging him! "
Feng Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. After working together for so long, she understood Xia Ruofei quite well. Xia Ruofei usually looked very amiable and didn't put on airs, but when he got serious, he wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.
She looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "I've always wanted to ask you! What did Changping County's leaders do to you? Didn't we think that Changping County would continue to expand the farm and build a pharmaceutical factory? Ever since you had Factory Head Xue investigate other places with great fanfare, I felt that something wasn't right … "
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "These people don't follow the rules!"
Then, Xia Ruofei told Feng Jing about the discussion he had with Wu Liqian, but Changping County changed people at the last minute and openly stole Wu Liqian's political achievements. Then he said, "Jing jie, tell me, how can I have a good impression of these bureaucrats?"
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't mention that Liu Haojun kept pestering Wu Liqian and even used underhanded methods to push Wu Liqian out. On one hand, it involved Wu Liqian's privacy. On the other hand, he didn't want Feng Jing to think that Liu Haojun's sudden scandal and "resignation."
So it's because of his female confidante … Feng Jing thought to herself.
She knew about the relationship between Wu Liqian and Xia Ruofei. She also knew that Xia Ruofei went to find Wu Liqian immediately after the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory incident. Now that she thought about it, Xia Ruofei also wanted to give this heavy political achievement to Wu Liqian. But in the end, Changping County had a problem and someone came out of nowhere. No wonder Xia Ruofei was so angry.
Thinking of this, Feng Jing couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy. She thought to herself, "If I were treated unfairly like this, would he also be angry?"
"Jing jie! Jing jie! "Xia Ruofei's voice came, bringing Feng Jing back to her senses.
"Ah?" Feng Jing said subconsciously.
Xia Ruofei found it funny and asked, "What's the situation? Why did I get distracted while talking? Did you not sleep well last night? "
"No! No! " Feng Jing said quickly. "Now that you mention it, I also think that the leaders of Changping County went overboard!"
"So, you agree with my approach?" Xia Ruofei asked happily.
"I think … it's fine to leave it hanging for a while. There's no need to be so extreme …" Feng Jing said. "For one thing, we don't know the inside story. Maybe County Head Zhu and the others have their own difficulties? In addition, our farm is still in Changping. In terms of development strategy, the location of the pharmaceutical factory in Changping is the most suitable. The terrain there is flat and the transportation is developed. The preferential conditions given by the county are also very sincere. The most important thing is that it's very close to the airport. In the future, when the production capacity increases, it will be very convenient for us to ship goods to the whole country … Even if we don't do business in Changping County, there's no need to have such a bad relationship with the local government. Peace is the most important thing in business. Seek money, not anger! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Feng Jing. He said, "Sister Jing, I think you have the potential to be a political commissar. Unfortunately, our company isn't the army, so there's no such position …"
Feng Jing glared at Xia Ruofei playfully and said, "I'm talking to you about serious matters! You're not being serious again … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Okay, okay! I've heard everything you said … How should I put it? I partially agree! In the end, you need to be strong to forge iron. The reason why we have so many scruples is because we're not strong enough! Think about it. If it were Mogul Wang, Father Ma, and the others, would they care about offending a county-level administration? "
Feng Jing smiled and said, "That would have to wait until you become the richest person in the country! At least we don't have the confidence now. This is also the situation. If you want to have fewer constraints, you have to compromise! "
"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said lazily, "Sister Jing, let's see if they're sincere this time. If they can't take it and just leave, then don't blame me …"
"You! Don't go overboard … "Feng Jing said," Okay, I won't persuade you anymore. You take care of it yourself! I'll go back to the office first. I'll be going to Hong Kong in a few days. I have to arrange some work in advance … "
"Sister Jing, take care!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
…
On the eleventh floor of the Taoyuan Building, at the front desk of the company.
After Xiao Li, the clerk in charge of reception, picked up a phone call, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhihang and the others. Her face showed a trace of embarrassment, but she quickly calmed down and said, "County Head Zhu, I'm sorry! The chairman is holding a high-level meeting and may not have time to receive all the leaders … "
Shi Qingyuan, the director of the government office who accompanied Zhu Zhihang, suddenly said with a gloomy face, "What? Did you make it clear that the person who came to visit Boss Xia today was County Head Zhu? "
Xiao Li said, "I did report it in detail, but the board of directors' reply was like this. Leaders, I'm really sorry …"
Xiao Li was about to cry. She was just a young girl who had just graduated from college. Facing Zhu Zhihang and Shi Qingyuan, who had a lot of authority, she was already under a lot of pressure. Shi Qingyuan stared at her, and her little heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"He's too arrogant!" Shi Qingyuan said angrily.
Zhu Zhihang's face also sank slightly, but soon returned to normal. He waved his hand to stop Shi Qingyuan.
It wasn't something to show off in front of a receptionist girl. Moreover, Zhu Zhihang also knew that it was useless to say so much to this young girl. She was just a mouthpiece and couldn't make any decisions at all.
Zhu Zhihang thought for a moment and said to Xiao Li with a pleasant expression, "Little comrade, when will Boss Xia's meeting end?"
Xiao Li said, "County Head Zhu, I really don't know. I asked just now, but the board of directors said that the timing wasn't easy to grasp. This meeting is very important and related to the company's development strategy … "
In fact, Zhou Yu had added these words herself. The purpose was naturally to express that Xia Ruofei was indeed unable to leave because of something very important, so as to reduce the unhappiness in the hearts of Zhu Zhihang and the others as much as possible.
However, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener had the heart.
Zhu Zhihang's face changed slightly. He thought to himself, related to the company's development strategy? Could it be that they were going to decide on the location of the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's branch factory? With Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's terrifying ability to make money, building a new branch factory was indeed a big problem related to the company's development strategy.
He was even more anxious because until now, the Taoyuan Company hadn't inspected Changping County. If they decided on the location now, needless to say, it definitely had nothing to do with Changping County.
However, no matter how anxious he was, Zhu Zhihang couldn't do anything. He couldn't possibly force his way in!
He thought about it and felt that he couldn't leave today no matter what. He had to wait here. No matter how long he had to wait, he had to see Xia Ruofei as soon as possible. Regardless of whether they had decided on the location or not, he had to work harder.
Changping County was currently in a precarious situation. The negative impact caused by Liu Haojun's problem was too great. The Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project was like a life-saving straw that had to be grasped at no matter what.
Once this project failed, the life-saving straw would become a fatal poison — the Taoyuan Company had originally set its sights on Changping County. Why did it later invest in other areas? It must be because the investment environment in Changping County was too bad!
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhihang said pleasantly, "Little comrade, if that's the case, can we wait here for Boss Xia to finish the meeting? Please help me report that we're waiting here. We hope that Boss Xia will find time to meet us after the meeting. We have something very important to discuss with him. "
Xiao Li also secretly let out a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhu Zhihang and the others would be furious.
She quickly said, "Okay! County Mayor Zhu, please rest here! I'll immediately contact the board of directors! "
Xiao Li led Zhu Zhihang and the others to the reception room at the entrance and served them hot tea. Then, she returned to the front desk and used the landline to call Zhou Yu.
…
Fifteenth floor, chairman's office.
After Xia Ruofei heard Zhou Yu's report, he revealed an interested expression. He said, "Since they're willing to wait, let them wait!"
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at his watch. He pondered for a moment and said, "In an hour, if they haven't left, go downstairs and bring them up!"
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned. The company got off work at 12 o 'clock, and there was an hour for lunch. Then, work resumed at 13 o' clock. It was already 10: 30 in the morning. An hour later, it would be 11: 30. Including the time taken for the elevator to go up and down, Xia Ruofei gave them less than half an hour!
Although her mind was racing, Zhou Yu didn't stay in a daze for too long this time. She quickly nodded and said, "I understand, chairman!"
She knew that it was impossible for her to understand the boss's intentions. Anyway, she resolutely carried out the order.
…
Eleventh floor, reception room.
As time passed, Zhu Zhihang sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation.
However, the director of the government office, Shi Qingyuan, seemed a little anxious. He kept pacing back and forth in the reception room, raising his hand to look at his watch every few minutes.
"I say … The Taoyuan Company is too arrogant!" Shi Qingyuan said to the new secretary, Luo Jinxian, who had accompanied Zhu Zhihang, "County Mayor Zhu came personally. Even if there is something important, can't it be put aside first? It's been almost half an hour, and there's been no movement at all! "
Luo Jinxian had always been a member of the government office. He was Shi Qingyuan's old subordinate. This time, he was working beside Zhu Zhihang to replace Jin Yuan, who had been sent to be a village leader. It could be said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had been cautious with his words and actions.
On this occasion, County Magistrate Zhu didn't say anything. As subordinates, it wasn't appropriate for them to say anything. As an old comrade, Shi Qingyuan occasionally complained, but if Luo Jinxian chimed in, he wouldn't be able to escape the evaluation of being "immature".
Therefore, Luo Jinxian just smiled at Shi Qingyuan and said, "Director Shi, please sit down and drink some water …"
Half an hour, forty minutes …
As time passed, Zhu Zhihang's anxiety grew stronger. He couldn't show it on his face, otherwise, he would lose the dignity of a leader in front of his subordinates.
I don't know when this kind of waiting will end … Zhu Zhihang thought anxiously.
He even imagined that in the Taoyuan Company's conference room, Xia Ruofei and the company's senior officials were enthusiastically discussing the location of the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's branch factory. This made him even more anxious.
Finally, at around half past eleven, the door of the reception room was pushed open. A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses and business attire walked in.
"Excuse me, are you County Mayor Zhu?"
Zhu Zhihang immediately opened his eyes and said, "Yes, I am!"
"Hello, County Mayor Zhu! I'm Zhou Yu, the assistant of Chairman Xia. I'm sorry to keep you waiting! " Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Chairman Xia has finished his meeting. He asked me to come and take you upstairs!"
This is great! Zhu Zhihang exclaimed in his heart.
He was still very calm on the surface, and said very politely, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Assistant Zhou!"
Zhou Yu took Zhu Zhihang and the others to the fifteenth floor in the elevator.
Zhou Yu knocked on the door of Chairman Xia's office, then pushed it open and said, "County Mayor Zhu, leaders, please come in!"
Zhu Zhihang and the others walked into Xia Ruofei's large office. Looking at the spacious and luxurious office, Zhu Zhihang couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
There was still some distance from the entrance of the office to Xia Ruofei's desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Xia Ruofei had been sitting in his seat, flipping through the documents in his hand. When Zhu Zhihang and the others were about to reach his desk, he seemed to have just noticed them. He quickly put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and walked out.
