Chapter 4: New Competition
"The line even had a beat of 20.5 beats, which was higher than the planned 20 beats! It has been running for more than three years without any failures. Jason explained.
Molly translates for Wei Peng and a young man next to her. A foreigner next to him, wearing clean overalls and the word VA printed on his chest, nodded frequently in agreement.
The car drove out of the automobile factory for more than half an hour, and the people on the side of the road became more and more sparse, and the dead grass was sparse. Wei Peng looked at the garden houses on the side of the road, many of them were in disrepair and no one lived in them, so he asked Molly how much such a house, with two floors with an attic, was.
Molly replied, "The car industry in Detroit is getting more and more depressed, there are very few people living here, and this kind of house is not worth much, as far as I know, it can be tens of thousands of dollars." But in normal places, it is expected to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. β
Wei Peng was surprised, thinking about the house he was going to buy, a small bathroom might be more expensive than this villa.
This is the third car factory they have visited in Detroit in two days, and they are all using the automation integration of the American CP company. Jason told that there are more than 20 lines of automobile factories in the United States, which are provided by their CP company, including the American VA. Jason is a middle-aged American man with blond hair and blue eyes, the sales president of CP Corporation's U.S. headquarters, and is driving a car at this time. The Chinese guy next to him is VA's procurement, and this time, according to the requirements of the leadership, he and Wei Peng came to inspect the business situation of CP company in the United States. Molly, the sales director of CP China, came to the United States a day early to receive Wei Peng and his wife.
The group of four had dinner at the best steakhouse in downtown Detroit, and they all drank some red wine. The end was relatively early, Wei Peng still thought about going back to the hotel and talking to Lin Na on the phone about buying a house loan, Shanghai was just 9 o'clock in the morning, and there was a conference call about the company's affairs.
"Okay, that's for now. I'll go to work at the company the day after tomorrow night's plane, so I'll sign it when I come back. After arranging things at work, Wei Peng saw that it was already more than 10 o'clock, and he was ready to take a shower and go to sleep.
Suddenly the doorbell rings in the room, and it's Molly at the door.
Next to the hotel is a bar, and when you enter the door, you are enveloped in melodious jazz music.
"I haven't slept well these days, what about you?" said Molly, taking a sip of whiskey.
"Yes, the jet lag hasn't been good for the past few days, and I always feel a little tired. Wei Peng also took a sip.
Wei Peng was woken up by the prompt sound of WeChat, and looked at his phone, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Lin Na reported that the loan formalities will be handled on Thursday. Wei Peng replied OK, put the phone away, wanted to get up, was hugged by Molly next to him, and said, "Girlfriend coped with it?" and then grabbed Wei Peng's life.
Wei Peng retracted into the quilt, hugged the slippery Molly, and the two kissed wildly again.
Min Ying received a text message about the salary and reimbursement, and when she saw it, she was angry. The salary is more than 600 less, and the reimbursement is more than 7,000 less, thinking that the last time I quarreled with the finance, I wouldn't have cashed it out so quickly. I went to the personnel department first, and the little girl in personnel was talking on the phone, drinking milk tea, seeing Min Ying, and continuing to chat, without showing any signs of hanging up. After waiting for three minutes, Min Ying couldn't help it and said, "Can you stop the phone that has nothing to do with work first?"
The little girl looked at it, said to the phone and said that she would call you later, and then said quietly: "You can control my call?"
Min Ying was too lazy to fight, offending personnel, and when the time came, the little shoes were dressed as a woman with small feet, and she asked angrily: "Why was my salary deducted more than six hundred?"
The little girl checked the computer and said for a long time: "Oh, you didn't take attendance twice last month, and you didn't report on a business trip." β
Min Ying wanted to ask why you didn't remind or check, thinking that there are many people in the company, this is not a human obligation, in order to avoid embarrassment, she said: "I'm not absent, so what should I do?"
"Make up the list and go to Mr. Cai to sign. Download the list yourself on the system. After speaking, the personnel picked up the mobile phone and began to dial the phone, continuing the chat just now.
Min Ying went to the finance room next door, the financial sister was not there, and the cashier Xiao Zhang's seat was a newcomer, and she was a little puzzled.
The newcomer took the initiative to say: "You are Min Ying, I am the new Xiao Wu, Xiao Zhang left her job a few days ago, and I will take over her work." Sister Gao has taken leave in the past few days, and she knows that you are looking for her, so she told me that the reimbursement of more than 7,000 yuan, Sister Gao has to personally ask why the cost of eating is so high. β
"Isn't there Mr. Cai's signature on it?" Min Ying said loudly.
Sister Gao said that Mr. Cai was so busy, and there were so many words to sign, some of them inevitably didn't notice. The company is going through a tough time, and as the company's treasurer, she's obligated to review the company's savings. Xiao Wu replied.
Min Ying turned around and left the financial room, rushed to Yin Yao's office, and said angrily: "Now the woman surnamed Gao is the boss of this company, isn't it?"
Seeing that Min Ying was angry, Yin Yao soothed: "What's the matter, say it slowly." β
Min Ying explained the situation just now, and continued to ask, "Do you know how the cashier Xiao Zhang left?"
"I also found out yesterday that it is said that I had a big quarrel with Sister Gao a few days ago and was expelled. Yin Yao saw Min Ying sulking and continued, "I know that you have a good relationship with Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang was also recruited by me in the first place. But I can't help it, Mr. Cai also mediated, and in the end, it became either Xiao Zhang or Sister Gao left, and Mr. Cai couldn't help it, after all, Sister Gao was the treasurer appointed by Mr. Cai. β
"The one surnamed Gao has long seen me unhappy, but now that Mr. Cai is in power, I will suffer in the future!" Min Ying said aggrievedly.
"You can relax, the deduction of wages and reimbursements, I will go to Lao Cai and say, don't worry, I will make up for you twice as much as a penny. Yin Yao continued, "The sales progress meeting of the VA project will be held for a while, and the worst thing now is that Lao Li from the technical department has not come to the company for two days, and he can't be contacted by phone." It is said that I also quarreled with personnel two days ago. β
At the sales meeting, except for Lao Li, everyone arrived. Yin Yao asked Manager Liu of the project department: "Lao Liu, it is currently a critical stage of the VA project, what is the situation of Lao Li? I haven't come to work for two or three days, and I can't get in touch." β
Lao Liu was silent. Yin Yao saw that there were many people at the meeting, so it was inconvenient to ask, and continued: "The project plan of VA is going to be submitted for preliminary review in the next few days, what is the current progress?"
Tang Ming said: "I read the project plan of the technical department, and communicated with the workshop and the engineering department, our project plan is too old, this time the whole line of JR has updated a lot of technical details, and now I am waiting for Lao Li to improve it." β
There was not much progress in the meeting, there was no specific project accounting without the latest plan, and the initial quotation was not available for a few days.
Yin Yao looked for Lao Liu to smoke. Now there is no smoking in Shanghai where there is a roof, although Mingcheng is a private company, Lao Cai implements it very well, and the current smoking point is at the back door of the first floor of the office building, which is also clean.
"What is the situation with Lao Li? Lao Liu, you are also the old man of Ming Cheng, we have been together for so many years, you can tell me the truth. Yin Yao handed Lao Liu a cigarette.
"Hey, I saw Lao Li angry two days ago, so I asked him. The main thing is that you know Mingcheng for so many years, and the practice is to adjust the salary in August every year, with an increase of 5-8%, and get a new salary in September. There was no adjustment this year, and there was no notification, so forget it, Lao Li's salary was deducted by several hundred, and he said that he was late several times. You also know that everyone will work overtime for one or two hours after getting off work by default, and there is no overtime pay, and they will be deducted so much if they are a few minutes late, so Lao Li quarreled with personnel. After Lao Liu finished speaking, he took a deep breath.
"Min Ying also encountered this matter, and I will talk to Lao Cai when I go back. Yin Yao said.
"Xiao Yao," Lao Liu sighed, "In the past, you were in charge of the company, everyone was a little tired, let's do Mingcheng together, as long as everyone is happy, we don't care too much about money." But that's not the case anymore, and we can't mention some things to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. But now the atmosphere of this company, you see, in just one or two years, seems to have completely changed. Lao Liu snuffed out the cigarette, and Yin Yao hurriedly handed over another one. "There's somethingβ" Lao Liu wanted to say and stopped.
Yin Yao helped light a cigarette and said, "Lao Liu, for so many years, I am the leader at work, and I have always regarded you as a brother in private, so just say it." β
"Okay. I've also been deducted from my salary, but it doesn't matter. I also asked the personnel to resign, and the personnel threatened not to give the labor manual a month in advance, and this little kid's attitude was quite arrogant. I don't care, the company has so many projects on me, and if I don't handle it well, it is Mingcheng's loss. I have found out clearly on the VA side, if Lao Li does not come back, I will give you the project plan, which will definitely not be as accurate as the technical department, but it is enough for you to bid for it. You know that the boys in the technical department, without Lao Li, probably can't understand the ins and outs of the technology. Lao Liu said.
"Lao Liu, why don't you do it? Think about it again, I'll mention the issue of treatment to Lao Cai. Yin Yao pretended to be calm, but in fact, he was already upset, at this critical juncture, two generals in a row, and the VA project was about to hang.
"Xiao Yao, don't keep it, I've already decided. My son is getting married next month, so I can just take a break. After speaking, Lao Liu opened the door and went in.
The autumn breeze in Shanghai in September was still mixed with dry heat, but Yin Yao felt a little chilly. Lao Liu turned around and added to Yin Yao: "I will give you the project plan in three days." β
Cai Lingyun knew all these things, and seeing that Yin Yao was a little depressed, he said: "I tried my best to keep Lao Liu, it seems that his intention to go is very resolute, so there is no way." Lao Li doesn't know what's going on now. Since Lao Liu promised to give you the latest plan, there should be no big problems with the bidding at the moment. I've already asked the personnel to hurry up and recruit people, so you should do your best to find a way to win the VA project first. I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, and you're losing people, so you must blame me for making the company so strict. But the company is used to being lazy, and now it has to be rules. You can rest assured that if you are deducted this month, you will make up for it next month if you comply with the company's regulations. I'm just taking this month to make a rule for you. Those who want to make a big noise about resigning when they encounter a little money can't go to the end with Mingcheng. β
"Mr. Yin, the 1.5 million, of which 800,000 came over yesterday, did you receive it?" After receiving a positive reply, Lao Luo continued on the phone, "Then you come directly with cash tomorrow, and I will invite you to dinner." β
Luo Fox always keeps one hand in his work, and if he doesn't get his 250,000 in his hands, he will definitely not fight the remaining 700,000. Now that Yin Yao, the financial money, can no longer be called directly, plus the 500,000 that Lin Na promised to give this week, Yin Yao hurriedly asked Cai Lingyun to report.
Cai Lingyun said: "The promised money will definitely be given, but now is a difficult period for the company, these days I just signed more than one million purchase payables, it has been delayed for a long time, several suppliers have come to the door." Your business expenses will be given after the VA project is determined. β
"I've promised people that I must give it this week, otherwise it will affect VA's project. Yin Yao said irritably. When doing sales, the good thing is credit, and if you don't do it, who can still believe it in the future.
"You can see how much money is on the company's account!" Cai Lingyun was a little impatient, "Now only the salary of the office has been paid, and the salary has not been increased this year, and it has already reacted so much." There are still seventy or eighty people in the workshop whose wages have not been paid! Unurgent expenses are either delayed by you or you yourself first!"
Yin Yao turned around to go out, but was stopped by Cai Lingyun: "In the future, you can't do whatever you want about the business expenses, you have to report to me." Now that the tax investigation is tight, the company has no name to fill these accounts. β
When Min Ying returned home, her daughter Tingting was not there and went to her grandmother's house. Jiang Wei drank wine alone and asked lightly, "I'm back." β
Min Ying was surprised: "Hey, why are you so interested today, you never drink at home." β
Jiang Wei took out a wine glass, opened a bottle of red wine, and said, "Come, you can drink some too." β
"I'm a little tired today, so I won't drink. β
"Drink some!" Jiang Wei's voice was a little loud, which startled Min Ying, and immediately added, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so loud, you come and drink some." β
"Okay, let's have a drink with you. Did you encounter something unpleasant?" Min Ying hesitated for a moment and returned to the dining table.
Jiang Wei didn't answer, poured red wine for Min Ying, made up some liquor for himself, picked up the cup, said to have a drink, and then drank the two taels of liquor. Min Ying was a little inexplicable, but her husband was in a bad mood and accompanied him to dry up a glass of red wine. Jiang Wei was about to pour himself wine again, but Min Ying went to stop him and asked, "What's wrong, drink so much!"
"Take your hand off!" Jiang Wei stopped, so frightened that Min Ying quickly retracted his hand, continued to pour two taels, and then filled Min Ying's red wine glass, "Drink this glass!"
Finally finished drinking, Jiang Wei went to the living room to throw the two file bags on the dining table, and began to pour himself wine again.
Min Ying hurriedly picked up the file bag and pulled out the photo. The first photo in the portfolio is from before, with Min Ying and Yin Yao snuggling and hugging in the car. The photo in the second file bag is from last week, that day the VA workshop ate and sang, after Luo Junyong left, Min Ying and Yin Yao did firewood, got out of KTV, and kissed directly in the alley next to it. Although it is a little dim, but from the side face and dress, there is no doubt about me.
Min Ying's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't speak.
Jiang Wei didn't do it now, took a sip, and said: "It's been a little time since I received the first file bag, and I have endured it and didn't show it to you." But the photo in the second portfolio, you came back late that night, I asked who you went to dinner with to sing and you didn't say it was with Yin Yao!"
Min Ying was a little stunned, not knowing whether it was panic or guilt or fear, and stood straight to the side.
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Wei's eyes were red, and he sobbed: "For so many years, I have held you in my hands for fear of breaking, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth." I've heard a lot of gossip about you and Yin Yao, and I believe it's not true, maybe it's because people envy me for marrying such a smart and beautiful wife. We have been married for so many years, I will never believe that Min Ying is a woman of water-based Yanghua!"
Jiang Wei finished the glass of wine again and said: "I received the first file bag, I realized that I was wrong, but I love you and don't want to lose you, I want to redeem it, so I didn't say it, and I don't know what to say, I just want to redeem you with sincerity." I really couldn't take it anymore when I received the second bag, I was so sad!
After being silent for a long time, seeing that Jiang Wei was still drinking, Min Ying snatched the wine glass and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." I also care about this family, our daughter is still young. I'm wrong about this, whatever you want, I'll accept it!"
"What do I want? Isn't that what you want?" Jiang Wei asked rhetorically.
Min Ying didn't know how to answer.
"What the hell do you want? Jiang Wei cried.
Min Ying didn't have any psychological preparation at all, over the years, Min Ying owed Jiang Wei more than this. She thought that if Jiang Wei wanted a divorce, she would also agree, she could leave the house cleanly, and she didn't want anything, just her daughter Tingting. Min Ying was waiting for Jiang Wei to swing a slap at this time, she wouldn't dodge, she just hoped that the slap could be as heavy as possible, so that Jiang Wei could get angry and wake her up.
After being silent for a long time, without fists or slaps, Jiang Wei suddenly served Min Ying a bowl of rice, and said with a deep gasp: "Let's eat some food first, I must be hungry." β
Min Ying didn't move her chopsticks.
Jiang Wei said: "I don't want to lose you, whether I love you or for my daughter Tingting." You call Yin Yao, you resign tomorrow, and you won't see each other again. Fight now!"
Min Ying didn't react, her face was full of tears. Jiang Wei took out his mobile phone from Min Ying's bag, put it on the table, and said, "You either call or divorce, there are two choices, choose now!"
Yin Yao was drinking with his friends, it was noisy, and when he saw Min Ying's phone, he hurriedly ran outside.
Min Ying said weakly: "Yin Yao, are you busy?"
Yin Yao replied, "It's okay, what's wrong?"
"I'll go through the resignation procedures tomorrow morning, and I won't do it!" Min Ying said in a low voice.
Yin Yao wondered if he had heard it wrong, asked it several times, and when he got the same answer, he was a little panicked and shouted, "Why!
"Mingcheng's salary is too low, there are many people who want me to leave, and I don't want to do it. Min Ying pretended to be calm, "I will leave tomorrow, and I have already found a new job." Please don't embarrass me then, thank you!"
"Are you crying, what's going on?" Yin Yao asked, but there was already a beep on the other end of the phone.
In the past few days, Yin Yao has lost two generals, and now Min Ying, the left and right hand, is leaving, and he doesn't know what to do for a while. Entering the private room, Yin Yao was restless, and his good brother Lu Zhonghua urged him to come and have a drink.
Director Lu is Yin Yao, and he just gave Yin Yao a turnover of 500,000 yuan in the afternoon, this is not that he has no spare money for a while, Luo Junyong and Lin Na's money, said okay, even if he pads himself, he will give it away.
At this time, Min Ying sent a WeChat message: Jiang Wei knows about us.
"Brother, what's the matter, I see that you are flustered. Lu Zhonghua asked.
"Min Ying is leaving. After Yin Yao finished speaking, he showed Lu Zhonghua the WeChat. Lu Zhonghua is Yin Yao's best brother, and the company's affairs will also be chattered. Lu Zhonghua knew everything about Yin Yao and Min Ying, and persuaded Yin Yao to let go several times, how could people in love listen.
Lu Zhonghua pondered for a moment and whispered, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to Min Ying's house." β
Seeing that Yin Yao was still a little dazed, Lu Zhonghua continued: "Yin Yao, are you drinking too much?" Your company can't afford to lose Min Ying in this situation, right? I think you are also sincere to Min Ying, she is estimated to be being subjected to domestic violence now, it is all caused by you, why don't you save it?"
I said hello to a circle of friends at the wine table, and left in a hurry, Lu Zhonghua's subordinates just didn't drink, so they helped drive, and got into the police car directly, Yin Yao pointed the way, and roared away. Lu Zhonghua quipped: "If Jiang Wei is violent against Min Ying, I will not drive the police car, and I will directly torture Jiang Wei away; But don't worry, I'll accompany you, and if you use the kitchen knife, I can still protect you!"
This made Yin Yao tremble a little, thinking that if this happened to him, he might not only be cut with a kitchen knife.
When he arrived downstairs at Min Ying's house, Lu Zhonghua motioned for the driver to wait in the car, and there was a siren in case of emergency.
went upstairs together, knocked on the door, and it was Min Ying who opened the door, a little surprised, her face was full of tears, but it was not swollen, and there was no blood, it seemed that she had not been moved. Min Ying wanted to close the door and not let her in, but she couldn't stop it.
Yin Yao saw that Jiang Wei was still drinking, so he said hello, but there was no response. Min Ying handed the two file bags to Yin Yao, lest Yin Yao want to explain that in fact, the two of us are nothing, and trying to cover them up will inevitably cause Jiang Wei's anger even more.
Yin Yao looked at the photo, Jiang Wei looked up and asked, "Are you two real?"
Yin Yao nodded.
At this time, Jiang Wei rushed over and smashed Yin Yao in the face. Yin Yao suddenly had a nosebleed and fell to the ground. Min Ying subconsciously wanted to help, but was stopped by Yin Yao and stood up by herself. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wei's second punch came again, and Yin Yao fell down together with the chair. Lu Zhonghua didn't mean to help, he didn't take a kitchen knife, it was already the most gentle scene.
Yin Yao simply didn't hurry to get up, he sat on the ground, and he had to take one more punch when he got up, and he couldn't do it. wiped the nosebleed with the cuffs, and suddenly the white shirt was dyed red. I couldn't open my eyes, they were sticky, and the corners of my eyebrows were broken, all blood, so I quickly wiped them with another cuff. Slowed down and sobered up, Yin Yao stood up again, men are all going to die standing up, especially in front of their beloved women, or in front of powerful opponents. Yin Yao concentrated, if he came to the third punch, he would have to dodge this time, and the qi that should be out would also come out, and he would not be able to commit it when he entered the hospital.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Wei. Yin Yao said, "The purpose of coming today, I just want to say that Min Ying is not to blame for this matter, I provoked it, I took the initiative, and it was my fault." β
"You dare to seduce my wife!" Jiang Wei roared, wanting to rush over and punch Yin Yao again. At this time, Lu Zhonghua hugged Jiang Wei and hurriedly said: "Brother, if you have something to say, Yin Yao is wrong in this matter, and he also admitted it." If you continue to fight, you will die!"
Jiang Wei sat down and calmed down for a while, took a sip of wine, and asked loudly, "Yin Yao, what do you want to do today?"
Yin Yao replied: "My mistake, I can accept whatever you want." β
"Okay, then my request is very simple, Min Ying will leave tomorrow, or I will divorce him and live with you!"
"Min Ying can leave her job, I hope to give me two months. The company still has important projects to wrap up, which is important to me. β
"No!" Jiang Wei scolded sharply, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? I will leave tomorrow or divorce." After speaking, Jiang Wei glanced at Min Ying and said with a wry smile: "Min Ying, you can see this man clearly now, does he care about you? It's just for you to die for him!"
"Jiang Wei, I don't want Min Ying to give me my life, I really care about her!" Yin Yao thought that Jiang Wei could receive these photos, and Wu Linlin estimated that they had also received them, and it was inevitable that there would be a bloody storm, so it was better to let it go, and continued, "Jiang Wei, give me two more months, and the project at hand will be dealt with, and you will decide when the time comes." If you and Min Ying want to live well, I promise Min Ying to leave and give a compensation, I will never come to harass your life again, and I wish you happiness. If you divorce at that time, I will be responsible for Min Ying, and I will divorce too, because I really care about her. Now I just want two months, and by the way, it's time for everyone to calm down!"
"No way!" Jiang Weiwei shouted.
Now Yin Yao was a little angry, looked at Min Ying, then looked at Lu Zhonghua, and said: "Jiang Wei, your husband and wife were introduced to me by me, without me, and without you now! Jiang Wei, today's matter is my mistake, I beg you, I Yin Yao is not very fond of begging people, today I beg you to give Min Ying and me two months, just for work, I will not do anything that crosses the line again." You can rest assured!"
"No, no, just tomorrow, resign!" Jiang Wei was a little hysterical.
"Okay, you Jiang Wei don't give face, don't you?" Yin Yao said angrily, "Jiang Wei, I don't know who you are? You haven't done anything to be sorry for Min Ying? I don't need to go through Director Lu, I have many ways to pull out your list of opening houses in the past few years!"
The car drove out of the community, and Lu Zhonghua hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you want to go to the hospital first?"
Yin Yao expected that there would be today's play, and fortunately rushed to Min Ying's house and asked Ling Man, it turned out that Jiang Wei and the little girl in KTV had been disconnected, and finally was frightened by his own words. Yin Yao touched his face, which was a little swollen and painful, and said, "No need, skin trauma." Just send me home. It's just that I have to trouble you to be a good person today, accompany me upstairs, I don't know what will happen to your brother and sister when you go home. β
"It's okay, I understand. It's just that who's so immoral and still stalking you. You've got to be careful lately. Lu Zhonghua said, "In the future, don't fucking let me open the room list casually, it's not allowed now, I'm going to be skinned." β
"I didn't really let you pull it. Jiang Wei, that kid, I know it in my heart. Yin Yao smiled bitterly.
When I got home, it was past ten o'clock, and Lu Zhonghua was behind me. Wu Linlin was chasing the drama, and when she saw Yin Yao, she was startled, and hurriedly said with concern: "Oh, dear, what's wrong with you, you have blood all over your body?"
Yin Yao paused, thinking that his wife had such a concerned expression, and he couldn't see any signs that he might also receive the file bag and ask for the guilt, so he had to say it another way. Without waiting for Yin Yao to speak, Lu Zhonghua hurriedly said: "Oh, brother and sister, aren't you drinking today, it's a bit much, the table next to me caused trouble, I did it, and now I have people copy it back to the office." β
