"That's a good relationship." Xu Zhisheng agreed happily, and then said with some embarrassment: "It's just that the dormitory beds in the factory are tight, I'm afraid..."
Second Lai: "It's okay. I'll just go to a nearby guest house and stay for one night. It's convenient for me to come here early the next morning."
The matter was settled in this way. Not long after Zhu Changgui left, the second lady went to find a guest house near the factory.
Seeing everyone leave, Xu Zhisheng's somewhat pleasant face quickly darkened. He went to the guard's office to explain a few words to his fellow guard, Old Liu, and then turned around and returned to the factory office building.
The second day it was just dawn, so I got up, simply washed my face with cold water, then went to the front desk and checked out of the room.
It has already entered October, and the weather is getting colder. As soon as I stepped out, I was blown by the cold wind. I couldn't help shivering, subconsciously wrapped my coat tightly, and walked towards the Baiqiang Steel Plant with hunched shoulders.
It was only four or five o'clock in the morning, and there was not even a soul on the street. The only sounds that could be heard were the rustling of leaves in the wind and the rustling of his own footsteps.
When passing by a street intersection, he suddenly heard footsteps coming towards him quickly behind him. He subconsciously turned around, but only had time to see a figure. He didn't even see clearly whether the person was a man or a woman or what he looked like.
There was a pain in my neck, and then my vision went dark, and I completely lost consciousness.
Zhu Changgui did not sleep well that night. He got up early the next day and went to the factory to check on the situation. When he learned that the goods had not arrived yet, Zhu Changgui suddenly became a little panicked. He had not felt this way for many years.
It has happened.
I picked up the phone and called the guest house where my second friend had stayed last night. After learning that he had checked out, he probably went to the factory to rush the delivery of goods, so I felt relieved a little.
He had agreed with the boss of Pengcheng that at noon today, he would definitely give him a call first when he loaded up the car and set off.
However, after waiting and waiting, there was no call from his second wife, and Zhu Changgui gradually became uneasy.
He raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was already past eight o'clock. It would take more than three hours at the fastest to transport goods from the Baiqiang Steel Factory to the cargo transportation station. What on earth is the second-rate guy doing at this time?
Just as he was about to pick up the phone and call the steel factory to inquire about the situation, the phone suddenly came to his mind and he quickly grabbed it.
"What's the matter with you kid? Why did you call me just now? Has the steel bar been shipped out?"
"It's me, Boss Zhu." Broken Mandarin came from the other end of the phone, interrupting his series of questions: "How's it going? I heard you say the goods haven't arrived yet? Don't forget that we have a contract. If we breach the contract,
You have to pay me double the liquidated damages."
Zhu Changgui was anxious to death, but he had to force out a smile and said: "Boss Li, don't worry, I will definitely not send you the goods. There are still three hours before the agreed time."
"It's best to get there, Boss Zhu. I'm already waiting at the cargo transportation station. Let's see you there then."
After Zhu Changgui hung up the phone, he immediately called Xu Zhisheng, but no one answered the call for a long time.
Seeing that it was almost too late to wait any longer, he turned to another subordinate and said, "I'll go out to greet them. You stay here and if the second thief calls, tell him to go directly to the cargo transportation station."
"
After explaining, he grabbed the clothes on the back of the chair and left the office, started the car and headed directly towards the steel plant.
Because I was anxious, I drove the car to its maximum speed, but did not encounter any convoys pulling steel along the way.
The journey that usually takes at least three hours took him only two and a half hours.
As a result, when I was about to enter the factory, I was stopped by the comrade at the gate.
"You can't come in, you can't come in." A man of similar age suddenly came out of the reception room. He frowned and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your factory director Xu Zhisheng. He came here yesterday. You don't recognize me anymore?"
"You are such a strange person. I should have seen you before? Our factory director went to the city for a meeting. If you have anything to say, you can leave a message and I will forward it to him when he comes back."
"We've gone to a meeting? What about my goods?"
The guard, Old Liu, frowned: "I don't know about that, but our factory has regulations that prohibit outsiders except our employees from entering."
After all, Zhu Changgui has been involved in society for more than ten or twenty years. If he doesn't realize that something is wrong now, he would be a fool.
Her square face was so gloomy that water dripped from her face.
"Get out of the way!" He took a step forward, pushed the person in front of him away, and walked straight into the factory.
"Director Xu? Xu Zhisheng, come out here!"
"How can you just enter our factory? If you dare to force your way in, believe it or not, I will call someone over now?"
The guard, Old Liu, chased the man all the way to the door of the factory office. When he looked up and saw Xu Zhisheng coming out, he immediately said apologetically: "Director, I stopped this man, but I didn't."
Xu Zhisheng nodded: "It's okay, Lao Liu, please go back first."
"Director Xu, what do you mean? You clearly agreed to deliver the goods to me early this morning, but where are the cars?" Zhu Changgui asked with a face full of anger, his voice rising slightly because of his anger.
"What car?" Xu Zhisheng looked at him and chuckled: "When did I promise to supply you? Now that steel is so tight, we can't even supply it to the companies below, so how can we possibly supply it to you?"
"You!" Zhu Changgui saw that he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He thought of something and took out the contract from his bag: "We have the contract as proof. I have paid all the money. Why do you, Director Xu, still want to go back on your word? You
If someone finds out that you are selling steel bars in private, not to mention your position as the factory director, I am afraid that even your factory will be thoroughly investigated by then."
Seeing that Xu Zhisheng was silent, Zhu Changgui snorted coldly: "I advise Director Xu not to make everyone look too ugly."
Privately reselling national resources and earning high price differences are all irrefutable evidence. Once proven, Xu Zhisheng will lose his official position and may even be sentenced.
This is also the reason why Zhu Changgui has always been sure that Xu Zhisheng will supply him.
The contract was signed, with the official seal of their factory and Xu Zhisheng's signature on it. With such important information in his hands, he didn't dare to play any tricks.
"Director Xu, I, Zhu Changgui, always tell the truth. You supply me with goods and let me handle the matter. Hello, me, everyone. Why cause more trouble, don't you think?"
Xu Zhisheng took two steps towards him and his eyes fell on the contract in his hand: "I advise you to carefully look at the contract in your hand before speaking."
Zhu Changgui was stunned: "You, what do you mean?"
"You didn't even know who you signed the contract with, but you came to me and made nonsense. You also wanted to slander me and our factory. Don't blame me for calling the police directly."
Zhu Changgui finally came to his senses, opened the contract and read it carefully. He was stunned as soon as he read the beginning.
