Chapter 80(1/2)
Zuo Li and Gu Feichen had been on the phone for a long time.
In the end, Zuo Li realized that Gu Feichen had probably made the call from a phone booth outside, so she hung up the phone proactively because she was worried about his health.
Zuo Li slept peacefully that night. In her dream, Gu Feichen held her tightly, kissed her, and said in her ear, "Li Li, I miss you."
When she woke up, Zuo Li shyly wrapped herself in a quilt and squirmed on the bed like a cicada for a while before she recovered from her previous shyness.
As a result, as soon as Zuo Li left the room, he saw Gu Beibei standing in the corridor.
When Gu Beibei saw Zuo Li's look, her expression was a little strange. She said, "Did you dream about my dad last night?"
Zuo Li: "..."
This is a bit embarrassing. It's very social to be asked such a question by my stepdaughter.
Zuo Li said nothing, but this was undoubtedly his acquiescence.
She didn't want to explain that it was normal to dream about her husband. Especially if it was just a kiss, even if it was something more intimate, it was normal.
Thinking like this, Zuo Li still blushed.
Gu Beibei curled her lips, but she still said nothing because Gu Beibei remembered the brief conversation she had with her father last night.
Dad said: "Beibei, Dad really wants to talk to your left aunt for a while."
Gu Beibei is a sensitive person, and she could easily hear the tiredness in Gu Feichen's words at that time.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Because she suddenly realized that this stepmother had a very high status with her father.
This made Gu Beibei very sad, but at the same time, she had to sigh. She was worthy of being the person who conquered her third brother, and worthy of being the person who let her father marry her home without even saying hello.
Gu Beibei has already developed some curiosity about Zuo Li.
In fact, this curiosity has been there since the first meeting.
Gu Beibei always thought that her father would like the cooler female soldiers in the army. After all, only those kind of people would be compatible with her father.
But the first time she saw Zuo Li, Gu Beibei was surprised.
This stepmother looks like she is very young, and she doesn't have the philistine look of other people in the market. But she doesn't have the outstanding magnanimity of a wealthy daughter, nor does she look like a heroic female soldier in the army.
Zuo Li is a person with outstanding appearance, but she feels comfortable.
This feeling even makes people ignore her appearance.
Gu Beibei also saw the difference in the way her father, Gu Feichen, looked at Zuo Li.
Such a father almost never appeared in Gu Beibei's impression.
She began to understand why her second brother Gu Jixing was like this.
Because I feel threatened.
She knew that her second brother valued her mother's position very highly.
If Gu Feichen only married a daughter to cope with the family, the second brother's reaction would not be so exaggerated.
Only when the second brother felt a deep threat and never showed joy or anger on his face, would his emotions show up.
The next morning, Zuo Li noticed that Gu Beibei's eyes always seemed to fall on her, and that feeling really made her feel uncomfortable.
While they were having dinner, Gu Feichen's secretary Li Chunchang suddenly arrived.
Before Zuo Li could speak, Li Chunchang said with a serious face: "Madam, something happened, and now only Madam can step in to solve it."
Not only Zuo Li heard it, but the four villains at the dinner table also heard it.
Almost instantly, four similar faces showed solemn expressions.
Zuo Li didn't have time to look at the children's expressions, because she knew that Li Chunchang was very capable and was definitely better than Zuo Li, who had never understood anything in the factory.
Gu Feichen was able to leave so readily, to a certain extent, because he believed in Li Chunchang's ability.
Zuo Li did not stop eating, and even reminded the four villains: "You continue to eat, no matter what happens, you must eat this meal."
She then said to Secretary Li: "Secretary Li didn't call, which means the matter is indeed very difficult. Even the phone in the factory may not be working anymore. Isn't that right?"
Surprise flashed in Li Chunchang's eyes. This was the first time he knew Zuo Li's intelligence.
"Yes ma'am, the wires in the factory have been cut."
Zuo Li's expression became even more ugly when he heard that the wires had been cut.
Steel rolling mill production does not require electricity in that step. Now that the wires are cut, it means that the wires are not connected properly and the entire steel rolling mill cannot work.
The impact of a factory shutdown for one day is actually not a trivial matter in the entire Sunshine City.
"Secretary Li, please explain the situation directly."
Zuo Li did not shy away from the villains' thoughts.
Zuo Li knew the intelligence of these people.
And Zuo Li is very self-aware.
She doesn’t have any golden fingers. Perhaps her only outstanding talent is her talent in design. And this talent is more due to her experience in the modern era of information explosion.
She herself is definitely not a very intelligent person.
Especially something that I haven't touched upon at all.
Obviously, as Gu Feichen's assistant secretary for many years, Li Chunchang also knew the young masters and ladies of the Gu family very well, so he did not avoid the thoughts of these people when he spoke.
"A few workers in the steel rolling mill asked for wages and gathered to make trouble. Now the steel rolling mill has been surrounded."
"Ask for salary?" Zuo Li's first thought was that the safe in Gu Feichen's study had money, so he could just pay his salary.
But she soon understood that if things were really that simple, then Li Chun wouldn't have to come here when he grew up.
"This matter is my responsibility." Li Chunchang said shamefully, "Before Miao Jinghui escaped from the country, he had already left behind a backup plan. Yesterday, I was supposed to give out a sum of money so that everyone could have a good New Year.
.
As a result, the person responsible for paying wages ran away. That person was actually Miao Jinghui's employee. Because the incident happened so suddenly, when I arrived at the factory today, I found that there was a commotion in the factory.
I have tried my best to stop it and even promised to pay wages, but there are people inside who are making noises and demanding more money.
If this can really handle things, then nothing will happen.
But it was obvious that there were still people from Miao Jinghui in the factory, and those people were making noises, so there was no way to solve it.
Unless the factory director is here now, that's why I want to find my wife.
Now that the factory director is away, my wife is the most suitable candidate."
Zuo Li heard the whole story clearly and felt very heavy in his heart.
She never expected that Miao Jinghui, who had fled the country before, would actually have left behind a back-up.
I have to say that the "treacherousness" among businessmen is really reflected incisively and vividly.
Zuo Li stood up and said, "I understand, Secretary Li, come to the study with me."
Money is necessary.
She knew that those workers were aroused to be greedy, and people also had a herd mentality. In ancient times, there was even a rule that the law should not punish the crowd. It is precisely because of this rule that this situation exists today.
After taking the money and going downstairs again, Zuo Li saw the four little ones standing up.
Zuo Li: "Do you want to go?"
Gu Suiyang chuckled: "I'm going to protect you, little stepmother, and make sure no one can bully you."
Gu Yuanzheng said nothing, but his eyes were firm.
Gu Jixing looked down at the ground, but since he was standing, he must have wanted to go.
As for Gu Beibei at the end, she was looking at Zuo Li like this, with an expression of wanting to be beaten on her innocent face, an expression that said, "If I want to go, can you still stop me?"
Zuo Li suddenly sat down and said, "You can come with me, but the prerequisite is that you all have to finish the meal. Especially..."
Zuo Li looked at Gu Beibei and served her a bowl of porridge: "You can't go until you finish this, otherwise I won't take you."
Gu Beibei wanted to say why, but she thought that Zuo Li was really qualified to take care of her now.
She looked at the fragrant bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and finally sat down to eat.
It smells so good!
However, my stomach was cramping and a voice was screaming in my head.
Spit it out! Spit it out! You can’t eat it! You will get fat! You will really get fat!
Gu Beibei forced herself to endure it because many people were watching.
She must not spit it out.
Gu Beibei could really bear it because no one else saw anything wrong.
Zuo Li went there with a few children, but because there were so many people, both of the family's cars were used.
"Don't worry, madam, I have bodyguards there, and there are many people there."
