Knowing that Cao Shujie had other plans tonight, Liu Furong finished drinking with him and left early without any more courtesy.

Before leaving, Liu Furong also said that he would meet up with him next time.

Cao Shujie called his wife and said that he would get together with Cao Tiemin and Cao Zhen tonight and would go back later.

Cheng Xiaolin told him to drink less alcohol at night and pay attention to safety.

"Honey, don't worry, I won't drink too much. You can tell our dad later and ask him to drive to pick up Mengmeng." Cao Shujie promised.

But Cheng Xiaolin said: "You should take care of yourself and promise me not to drink too much every time. I drink too much every time."

"I'll just pick her up later."

Cao Shujie was a little embarrassed and couldn't continue what he said.

After hanging up the phone, he asked Song Baoming to drive him to a nearby hotel and book a room to rest for a while. Then Cao Shujie called Cao Tiemin again and asked if they had made a reservation.

"We have to make an appointment. We finally got a chance. They heard that you were in the county and they all agreed to come. Shu Yang now asked for leave," Cao Tiemin said.

In fact, this is also the case.

In the evening, all six of them gathered together.

Just as Cao Tiemin said, Cao Shuyang, who works at the highway toll station, was originally on duty tonight, but after hearing Cao Tiemin talk about having dinner with Cao Shujie, he asked their station manager to temporarily change his shift, and also promised to have a meal out.

A bottle of good wine.

When several people saw Cao Shujie, they didn't care about his titles as "Director Cao" and "Boss Cao". They hugged him and beat him up, and said that he was able to get together more and more often now.

few.

"I usually don't have time, so I wanted to have a drink with you during the Chinese New Year. You said you won't be at home during the Chinese New Year, and you are haunted every day." Cao Fei complained to him.

Cao Shujie smiled: "There is no way, my daughter can't stay at home. She wants to go out for a walk. There is no suitable opportunity to go to school, so we go out together when she is on winter vacation and the factory is on vacation."

"How are you? Are you all fine?" Cao Shujie looked at them one by one.

The brothers have all gained weight compared to before, which shows that their lives are quite good recently.

Cao Shujie also asked them to properly control their weight.

Speaking of Cao Shujie's visit to the county town today, Cao Shujie did not hide it. He also told them that he was here for dinner at Liu Furong's invitation.

They were just highly qualified deputy division level cadres. When Cao Zhen and the others heard this, they didn't feel anything at all. They felt that for Cao Shujie, this was a very common thing.

Cao Tiemin never mentioned that he had dinner at that restaurant today at noon.

It's not necessary. He has used his buddy's name to overpower Wang Chengde and get the project from him today. The rest is mainly his own skills.

If he had to drag his buddies into it, the nature would be different.

Cao Shujie yelled at him to treat him, but none of his brothers were polite to him. This could be seen from the fact that no one was soft-hearted when ordering.

Not a single hard dish in the restaurant was left behind, all were ordered.

In the end, the proprietress even took the initiative to say that the portions of the dishes in their restaurant were so large that even the few of them couldn't eat them if they ordered so much.

"The boss lady is a real person, but you guys are a bit low-key." Cao Shujie said to them.

But no one felt embarrassed, and everyone said that if they finally caught the opportunity, they would definitely be poor, Boss Cao.

"Young man, it's hard for you to eat three meals a day with me." Cao Shujie rarely pretended to be cool.

The hotel proprietress watched them enter the private room and was still mumbling that the man looked familiar.

"Daughter-in-law, the look in your eyes is really bad. How can it not look familiar to you? He is the richest man in our county!" The owner of the restaurant hated the iron.

Although it was his first time seeing him in person, he still recognized Cao Shujie at a glance.

Mainly because Cao Shujie's reputation in Pingyuan County was too great, but many people subconsciously felt that Cao Shujie would not come to a small restaurant like theirs to eat. The landlady looked familiar, but did not think that way.

In the private room, the brothers sat down and talked about their own affairs.

Over the past few years, everyone has matured and is no longer as fussy as before.

However, Cao Shujie could still see the unsatisfactory aspects in them.

He said: "Brothers, don't be so stubborn. If you are unhappy outside, why not go back to our base camp."

"The Xinjiang Hotel branch is also open in my hometown, and you all have shares. With such a large flow of people, I can make a lot of money. If I just hang on outside, I am asking for trouble."

"Besides, I'm about to be approved for joining the party now, and I can run for village party secretary next year. When we become the village party secretary, the village director will shoulder the responsibility. Caojiazhuang is completely in our hands. You can do whatever you like by then."

Cao Shujie was carefree and looked like a tyrannical man who took advantage of all three things, which made Cao Tiemin, Cao Zhen and the others very happy.

But when they thought about it carefully, they knew that what Cao Shujie said was true.

"Shujie drank at noon. Don't let him drink more in the evening. I think it's just a pound of white wine. He can make up his own mind. We can come as we please. What do you think?" Cao Tiemin said deliberately.

Finally, Cao Tiemin added: "If you think one pound is a bit too much, let him drink two pounds. If you can't get two boxes of beer, you have to choose the same one."

His proposal was echoed by others.

"Damn it, I knew you were up to no good!" Cao Shujie pointed at them and yelled.

But this relaxed atmosphere made him feel very intoxicated.

"Shujie, to be honest, my brothers have benefited from you in the past few years. If I still behave like this in the next two years, I will stop working and go back to the village to listen to your arrangements. Secretary Cao, don't do it then.

You forgot to arrange an official position for me." Cao Tiemin said.

He felt really tired.

You have to resort to various means to get a project, including treating guests, giving gifts, and playing with you. This is especially true when the market is not going well this year.

Cao Shujie took over everything: "That's a must. How about you follow Brother Chao on patrol? I've known him for two years and I'll give you the job of deputy director."

This is where the arrangements started.

Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun also joined in the fun, each talking about what they wanted to do.

"Speaking of which, do you still remember when we were young and practiced martial arts together?" Cao Zhen said about a past incident.

That was when they were six or seven years old, the age when they were most naughty and mischievous. At the time when all kinds of martial arts action movies were popular, they all picked up scraps of scrap metal and sold them for some money, and a few of them walked more than ten miles to the town.

I bought a "Martial Arts Secret Book" from a bookstore. After returning to Caojiazhuang, I found a secluded place to hide and practice.

They look forward to the day when they can be like the protagonist in the TV series, blowing up a large tree with a wave of their hands, and killing people thousands of miles away with one strike.

"Now that I think about it, I was really stupid at the time."

"Silly wool, I felt so happy at that time." Cao Shujie said.

In the evening, the six of us really didn't drink much, we mainly chatted and talked.

We drank in the hotel until almost 10 o'clock before we ended. During this period, the boss personally came over and presented them with a cold dish, a fruit plate, and finally a beef dumpling.

Cao Shujie also took a group photo with his boss and made an appointment to come back next time there is a party.

Everyone had drunk to some extent, except for Cao Tiemin, Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang, who were already living in the county. Cao Fei and Cao Zhen stayed in a hotel directly, preparing to drive back to the city early tomorrow morning.

Cao Shujie asked his driver Song Baoming to drive him back to Caojiazhuang.

…

After gathering with these buddies, time passed quickly, and July 8th came in the blink of an eye.

Today is the day when Xuemeng Food Factory will hold its semi-annual general meeting.

Everyone has been busy for half a year, and Cao Shujie also wants to give everyone a report on various tasks in the factory at this time, so that they know what achievements they have made.

When Cao Shujie arrived at the company early in the morning, he saw that the factory was busy cleaning.

People on the day shift are responsible for sticking to their posts, and those on the morning shift will find a place to rest first, and then they will be called to join the meeting together.

Especially those who won the award today were all pulled over by the Human Resources Department and told to wait until the awards were presented on stage.

Everyone takes it seriously.

After all this is the moment to recognize that their hard work has paid off.

Cao Shujie did not rush, he was waiting in the office.

The all-hands meeting was held indoors, thanks to Xuemeng Food Factory having such an open space with air conditioning on, so it didn't feel hot even in the hot summer.

Wang Zhifeng made arrangements there and came over to call Cao Shujie: "Boss, everything has been arranged."

"Okay, let's go there together." Cao Shujie said.

They came to the venue together.

Seeing that the room was densely packed with people, although it was a general meeting in name, only more than half of the people came today. Even so, with thousands of people, it can be called a sea of ​​​​people.

When he saw Cao Shujie coming in from the door, the noise in the venue disappeared.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him and followed his movements.

When the host announced the official start of Xuemeng Food Factory's 2016 semi-annual general meeting, amidst a burst of fast-paced music, several young employees came on stage to perform a dance full of youthful atmosphere.

After waiting for the dance to end, Cao Shujie took the microphone handed to him by the on-site staff and walked onto the stage.

"Good morning everyone!" Cao Shujie greeted, and today's semi-annual meeting officially began.

He also commented on the dance just now and said those people danced really well.
