At five o'clock, Tang Zifeng received a call from Fan Caihong in the workshop, asking him to take Guan Zhiming to the small canteen for dinner. It happened that the discussion between Guan Zhiming and the workers had also come to an end, Cheng Wei was busy leading people to make production adjustments, so Guan Zhiming and Tang Zifeng left the workshop and walked in the direction of the small canteen.

"Uncle Tang, are you going home for dinner today, should I cook for you?"

As soon as the two of them left the workshop, they met a teenage girl who walked hurriedly. Seeing Tang Zifeng, the little girl stopped, a smile appeared on her face, and asked Tang Zifeng.

This person is Yu Xiaohui, the part-time worker invited by Tang Zifeng. For more than a month, as long as Tang Zifeng was in the factory, Yu Xiaohui faithfully performed her duties as a part-time worker, helped Tang Zifeng cook and sweep the floor, and received corresponding remuneration from the labor service company. She didn't know that this reward was actually paid by Tang Zifeng, but she just borrowed the name of Zhang Jianyang.

Just now, Yu Xiaohui saw that it was almost dinner time, so she called Tang Zifeng's office and asked if she wanted to cook dinner for Tang Zifeng, but the person in the office said that Tang Zifeng had gone to the workshop, and Yu Xiaohui chased him to the workshop.

"Xiaohui, I forgot to tell you. I have to accompany the factory manager these days, so I don't eat at home, you just need to clean up for me. Tang Zifeng said.

"Oh, okay. Yu Xiaohui responded, and then said: "Uncle Tang, I have already washed the clothes you changed and hung them on the balcony, and the sanitation in the house has been cleaned, do you have anything else for me to do?"

"No more. Tang Zifeng said, "By the way, there is a package on the desk in my north room, which has not been opened yet, you can go and open it." That's the book I asked my classmates to send me from the capital, there are a few Qiong Yao's novels, such as "The Goose in the Woods", and "The Heart Has a Thousand Knots", you can take it home and read it. ”

"Really?" Yu Xiaohui's eyes flashed with little stars, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, then I'll go!"

With that, she turned around and ran away. Last time, she mentioned it in front of Tang Zifeng, saying that the female classmate in the class was chasing Qiong Yao's book recently, but she didn't expect Tang Zifeng to remember it, and she specially asked someone to send a few copies from the capital, how could this not make her happy. has been with Tang Zifeng for more than a month, and the little girl really didn't treat Tang Zifeng as an outsider.

"It's ...... Your niece?" Guan Zhiming pointed to Yu Xiaohui's back and asked casually.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "This is the nanny that Zhang Jianyang hired for me, originally I said that I didn't need it, he said that this Yu Xiaohui's family is very difficult, and he wants to create an opportunity for her to make some money, so I can't excuse myself." By the way, this Yu Xiaohui's father seems to be from the lathe workshop, it seems to be called Yu Kexin. ”

"Oh, it's Yu Kexin's daughter, there's an impression. Guan Zhiming nodded, and then said, "Yu Kexin's health is not good, he has been on sick leave, and it is indeed difficult at home." Zhang Jianyang is a person who takes care of the leaders, and he has also arranged nannies for the leaders of our team in the past. ”

Tang Zifeng said: "He also wanted to arrange for Director Zhou and Chief Engineer Qin, but Director Zhou didn't let him do this, saying that the factory leaders couldn't take advantage of the public." At present, I am the only one who accepts the nanny among the factory leaders, and Yu Xiaohui's salary is paid by me privately, which is not a advantage of the public. ”

Guan Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Lao Zhou has done a good job in this regard. Taking advantage of the public, once it starts, it can't be stopped, and people's desires are endless. Our current team, it turned out to be good, and then it was ...... , alas, it's hard to put into words. ”

Tang Zifeng didn't know how to answer, this is really a topic that can talk to death.

Fortunately, Guan Zhiming didn't continue, and the two chatted some nonsense, and unconsciously came to the small cafeteria. The cafeteria manager led them into a room where there was a small table with food and drinks. There are five seats arranged on the dining table, three of which are Zhou Heng, Wu Weiqin, and Zhu Yachao, and the remaining two seats are prepared for Guan Zhiming and Tang Zifeng.

"Boss, please take a seat. Zhou Heng got up and greeted, and then explained: "I asked the small canteen to prepare a few dishes casually, knowing that you like to be quiet, so I didn't find too many people to accompany you." You see, it's just us today, Lao Wu and I are new, Lao Zhu is an old man in the factory, and the rest is Xiao Tang, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Director Zhou. Guan Zhiming nodded to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng said that he likes to be quiet, but it is actually just an excuse. The real reason is that with Guan Zhiming's current identity, it is not appropriate for the factory to set up a banquet for him to receive the wind with great fanfare. Zhou Heng is the director of the factory, and he personally went to ask Guan Zhiming to go out of the mountain, so he can't help but come. Wu Weiqin and Tang Zifeng are both related to this project, so it is not surprising that they came to accompany them. The only thing that made Guan Zhiming feel a little surprised was Zhu Yachao, who stayed in the original team.

The previous team was collectively corrupted, and Zhu Yachao has been free from everyone and kept himself clean, thus escaping this catastrophe. In Guan Zhiming's memory, Zhu Yachao did not have any personal friendship with him, and it may even be that he was more disgusted with him and other factory leaders, but he unexpectedly appeared at this small banquet.

"Boss!"

Without waiting for Guan Zhiming to say anything, Zhu Yachao stood up first and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Guan Zhiming.

Guan Zhiming hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhu Yachao. When the two people shook hands, they looked at each other, and they seemed to have a thousand words but didn't know where to start. In the end, Zhu Yachao sighed softly, pointed to the seat next to him with his hand, and said, "Old Guan, you can sit here with me." The two of us are also old colleagues, so we will have two more drinks together. ”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the waiter in the small cafeteria came in and opened the wine bottle and poured wine in front of everyone. Zhou Heng waited until the waiter finished pouring the wine, waved to her, and said, "You go out, close the door for us." If I didn't call you, you wouldn't come in. ”

The waiter also had a bit of eyesight, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Okay, Director Zhou, I'm just outside the door, you can call me if you have something." ”

Seeing the waiter leave and close the door, Zhou Heng stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Today's meal has two themes. The first is to connect the old pipe, and the specific reason will not be said. Second, on behalf of the new team of Linyi Machine, I would like to thank the old manager for standing up and solving problems for the factory when it encountered difficulties. This favor, I Zhou Heng wrote it down, and I propose, this first glass of wine, let's all toast the old man together. ”

"Yes, respect the old man!" The rest of the people also stood up together and gestured to Guan Zhiming with the wine glass in his hand.

Guan Zhiming stood up slowly, also holding a wine glass, and said bitterly: "Director Zhou said this, I don't dare to be ashamed." I am also responsible for making it what it is today. Director Zhou, as well as Director Wu and Xiao Tang, I am very grateful for your coming over to help us clean up this mess. As for saying anything like standing up and stuff, I really can't stand it. That's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm very happy to be able to do a little bit more for the factory. ”

Zhu Yachao stretched out a hand, patted Guan Zhiming's shoulder, and said, "Old Guan, I can't complain about you." You are on the first machine, and you have a lot of credit and hard work, and I also see this in my eyes. As for the ...... , alas, I guess you can't help yourself. Ma Dazhuang and his gang made the factory into a miasma, and you were also implicated by them. ”

"Lao Zhu, thank you for saying this, no matter what, I'm still ashamed of Linyiji......"

Guan Zhiming raised the wine glass in his hand, handed Zhu Yachao a grateful look, and said with emotion.

The corruption of the previous team was indeed caused by Ma Dazhuang, the deputy director in charge of sales, and Guan Zhiming was dragged into the water by Ma Dazhuang and his gang. But to say that Guan Zhiming is innocent, it is also a lie, he is at best half-pushed, half-pushed, people sent him money, he took it, and then did something with a clear conscience. He wasn't a three-year-old, so he didn't know what it meant to do these things. Therefore, he has come to this point today, and he is also to blame. As for what Zhu Yachao said just now, it was to find a step for Guan Zhiming to cover his face, so Guan Zhiming wanted to thank him.

Zhou Heng is very clear about the cause and effect of the matter, but since he wants to ask Guan Zhiming to come out to help, everyone naturally wants to say something nice, so he didn't break Zhu Yachao's whitewash, but said with a smile: "Okay, let's not mention the past, let's drink this cup first, it can be regarded as washing the dust for the old man." ”

"!" shouted in unison, and then drank the wine in their glasses.

Since Zhou Heng sent the waiter out, the matter of pouring wine naturally fell on Tang Zifeng. He was also a little conscious, and without waiting for Zhou Heng to speak, he picked up the wine bottle and refilled it for everyone in a circle. Among the people at this table, the youngest is more than 20 years older than Tang Zifeng, so no one feels sorry for him pouring wine for everyone, not even anyone who nods to him.

Tang Zifeng didn't mind everyone's contempt for him, he very much hoped that everyone would treat him as just a child, because he would not be blamed for doing something wrong. The so-called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is just that.

After drinking the first glass of wine, everyone is more casual. After a few rounds of toasts, the atmosphere at the table gradually came alive. No one mentions the prisoner of Zhiming, but sees him as a business leader with the same experience as everyone else, and the content of the chat is becoming more and more wide-ranging.

"Lao Guan, what do you think about the future development of Linyi Machine?"

After chatting about international and domestic affairs, Zhou Heng brought the conversation back to his eyes and asked Guan Zhiming.
