Chapter 44: Li Tao is resigning
The next morning, people from the Furniture Industry Association and the Quality Supervision Bureau arrived at the police station. There were three people from the Furniture Association, one of whom was Hu Youmin's old acquaintance, Boss Yang, who originally asked him to process on his behalf.
Hu Youmin greeted them warmly, Boss Yang held his hand and said: "It turned out to be you, brother, they are looking for the wrong person, the quality of Boss Hu's furniture is nothing to say, I have cooperated with you for so long, I am very clear." ”
Two people came from the Quality Supervision Bureau, and Hu Youmin held their hands and said, "I'm sorry for you, I'm going to have a light meal when I'm done." They said politely: "Boss Hu doesn't have to be polite, this is our business." ”
The five people carefully looked around the furniture, from the material to the workmanship, especially the color difference, and compared it with the color palette, and finally came to the conclusion that the furniture met the requirements of the contract.
For the color difference, whether it is the national standard or the enterprise production standard, the color difference is not used as the quality inspection standard, so it can only compare the color plate required by the contract and give the conclusion that there is no visual difference.
Because it was not yet time to eat, Hu Youmin couldn't force them to eat, so he gave one of them a pack of good cigarettes and asked Li Tao to pick up the report in the afternoon and hand it over to the police station.
Hu Youmin asked Cheng Sisi if he had dug out the person behind it? She frowned and said, "Not yet, when the report comes out, it is estimated that they will not be able to resist." ”
This matter is not in a hurry, he was about to go back to the company, Cheng Sisi stopped him: "Let's have a meal together at noon?" He said with some humility: "I treat you as a friend, I really didn't pay attention to these etiquette, where to eat?"
She glanced at him: "There is so much to eat, just near the Qiaqia Xiang bar, the stone pot fish in it is delicious, I get off work at twelve o'clock." He said, "Yes, I will pick you up then." She hummed softly.
After going back to the company, looking for Tian Xiaoyu and Luo Juan to understand some of the situation, and after making some arrangements, he leaned back on the chair to rest. If something happens to the furniture factory, it is estimated that it will have some impact on the business, and I have to find time to visit the main customers.
Li Tao can do management, but he has no market development ability, and now the business of the furniture factory is still the foundation laid by Hu Youmin.
He doesn't have the energy to take care of the furniture factory now, but he doesn't want to give up this part now, so he has to discuss with Tian Xiaoyu and send a salesman over there to maintain and develop the business of the furniture factory.
Thinking of this, he walked to Tian Xiaoyu's office again. Tian Xiaoyu was making a marketing plan, and after listening to his intentions, she thought for a while and said: "Transfer Cui Zhiming to the past, this is an old salesman, with strong adaptability, serious and responsible work, and reliable people." He nodded: "You and Luo Juan will make arrangements, and I will go back and talk to Li Tao." ”
When he walked to the door, he turned around again and asked, "Do you have a party at noon?" If not, call Juanzi and I will have dinner with the head of the police station. Tian Xiaoyu said that there was no entertainment, looked at his watch, packed up his documents and went out with him.
Drove to the police station to pick up Cheng Sisi, she also sent a light makeup, when she saw Tian Xiaoyu and Luo Juan, she was a little surprised, Hu Youmin introduced: "This is Sister Xiaoyu, this is Luo Juan, I heard that I want to accompany the beauty director to dinner, I have to follow to see the beauty." ”
Cheng Sisi, who was a little distracted, immediately greeted Tian Xiaoyu and Luo Juan warmly, as if they had been friends for many years.
At the dinner table, the three of them still chatted affectionately, from clothes to cosmetics to bags, there were endless topics. He also took a leisurely moment and concentrated on the meal.
In the evening, Hu Youmin went to a furniture factory. Li Tao reported to him the recent operation of the factory, and finally he said with some hesitation: "Mr. Hu, I want to resign." Surprised, he asked, "Why?"
Li Tao whispered: "There is something going on at home. Hu Youmin asked: "What's the matter? Do you want me to help? You ask for leave to go back to deal with it, and I want Mr. Luo to come over and take care of it for a few days." ”
He shook his head: "This is my family matter, you can't help, Mr. Hu, you are a good boss, I really don't want to leave you, but I really can't help it!"
Under his questioning, Li Tao told the truth, he and his wife divorced, and there was a three-year-old boy for his parents to take, he was a little uneasy, and wanted to go back to his hometown to find a job to take care of the family.
Li Tao graduated from Central South University in 89 with a major in business management, but he was unlucky, and he was not assigned to this term.
He went to work in a foreign-funded enterprise in the coastal area for two years, he began to be a little arrogant, plus he would not please girls, he never got a girlfriend, and the family was a little anxious, so he was introduced to a person by someone to work in the family planning office of the township government.
During the Spring Festival, under the arrangement of the matchmaker, the two met, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was clever and beautiful.
Li Tao, who has a partner, doesn't go out to work, and has a lot to do with the township electricity station to work, although the monthly salary is only more than 60 yuan, but for him who fell in love, he feels very sweet to commute with his lover every day.
On the National Day of '94, the two got married in the dormitory of the township government, and although the conditions were difficult, the two lived happily.
The next year, his wife gave birth to a boy named Li Hao, and the joy of being a father for the first time was quickly overwhelmed by the burden of life.
His wife is short of milk, and the child basically relies on milk powder. Li Tao felt sorry for his baby son, and began to buy imported milk powder, a bucket is more than a month's salary, after eating a few buckets, he was a little nervous financially, and he wanted to buy domestic milk powder, which was much cheaper.
But the little guy doesn't know if he is used to eating that taste, or if he eats it in his mouth, and he doesn't eat domestic milk powder. Seeing his son who was so hungry that he was crying, Li Tao had no choice but to buy imported milk powder.
Li Tao discussed with his wife to go out to work, and his wife sighed and agreed. He went to the electricity management station to go through the procedures for leave without pay and went out to work.
He didn't want to run too far, so he found a decoration company to work in Baisha, where he could earn five or six hundred yuan a month, which relieved the pressure on his family.
When the child was one year old, his wife went back to work in the family planning office, and the child was handed over to his parents to take with him. When he went back during the Spring Festival this year, his parents hinted to him that there were rumors about his wife outside, Li Tao forced her to ask her, she cried and cried and refused to admit it, Li Tao believed her.
A month ago, his parents called him to go back, saying that his wife had an abnormal relationship with a deputy township chief. Li Tao secretly returned home, and at ten o'clock in the evening, he took his younger brother and a few cousins to catch the adulterer.
Along the way, Li Tao prayed in his heart that all this was fake, but reality shattered his hopes. In the dormitory of the township government, she and the deputy township chief were blocked in bed. His head buzzed, forgetting the accusation and anger, and watched blankly as they frantically dressed themselves.
His brother and cousins went up and grabbed the deputy head of the township and beat him violently, and his wife cowered pitifully in the corner of the bed. The beating and scolding alarmed the people of the township government, and everyone got up to watch the excitement. It was not until the secretary of the township party committee and the police station came that the chaotic situation was ended.
Li Tao said to the secretary and the people at the police station: "I hope you will give me an explanation tomorrow!" After speaking, he left without looking back.
At noon the next day, news came that his wife and the deputy township chief had been dismissed from public office, and the deputy township chief was given a serious warning within the party.
Li Tao and his wife quickly went through the divorce procedures, she left the house, the children belonged to Li Tao, and he did not ask her to pay child support. Ignoring the psychological trauma, he hurried back to Baisha after handing over the child to his parents.
Looking at the painful Li Tao, Hu Youmin walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, this is all forced by life, let the past pass, you are still young, you have to look forward, you are old, you are young, they are all looking at you, you have to cheer up." ”
"Don't quit your job, take the child over, go to kindergarten here, there is a car to pick up and drop off the kindergarten every day, and at other times the staff in the factory will take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”
"You have time to learn more about management, I will be of great use to you in the future, you will work here with peace of mind in the future, tell me if you have any difficulties, buy a house here in the future, and settle down in Baisha." ”
Seeing that his mood was better, Hu Youmin said with a smile: "In the future, I will find another suitable woman, a man is incomplete only if he has a career, and he is incomplete without a family, and finding a mother for his child is good for his growth." ”
Li Tao wiped his tears: "Mr. Hu, thank you, I will hand over more than 100 catties to you in the future, you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"
Hu Youmin waved his hand: "What do you say? I treat you as a friend, and friends should help each other." There is one more thing, I will transfer a salesman to help you run the business, you have to manage the furniture factory well, and tell me any problems in time. Li Tao nodded vigorously.
On the way back, I received a call from Cheng Sisi, saying that those people confessed that they were instructed by the owner of Xinli Furniture Factory to go to him to make trouble.
But the boss didn't ask them to extort money, so they couldn't pursue his responsibility. She will apply for arrest warrants tomorrow for these people who made trouble, arrest them and transfer them to the procuratorate.
Xinli Furniture Factory opened two years before Hu Youmin, and it was only more than a kilometer away from Youmin Furniture Factory.
The other party did not cause big losses to the furniture factory, Hu Youmin was not prepared to deal with him, if there was a next time, he would never let him go.
In the next few days, Hu Youmin took Cui Zhiming to visit some of the furniture factory's major customers. On the way, he told him some methods and skills of running a furniture business, and Hu Youmin was much relieved to see that he was very clever and adaptable.
After straightening out the affairs of the furniture factory, Hu Youmin is ready to shift his focus to the sales of electrical appliances. At this time, I heard that Xinli Furniture Factory secretly moved out last night.
Calling Li Tao, he said that it was true, some suppliers were looking for the owner of Xinli Furniture Factory everywhere, and they still had a lot of money to settle the bill.
Called Cheng Sisi again, she said nonchalantly: "It's good to run away, I came to intercede a few days ago, and I pushed him back, and he found the procuratorate again and wanted to bring the case back, but I refused." ”
After a few days, it finally became clear. Those gangsters are not good at home, and after learning that they are going to be sentenced, they all found Xinli Furniture Factory to make trouble, and if they don't get them out, they will be over with him.
The boss spent a lot of money, but he didn't get it done, some people in the public security system knew Cheng Sisi's background, and the cases she handled didn't have hard evidence, so they didn't dare to interfere, and no one dared to joke about their future.
Xinli Furniture Factory's business has not been good in the past two years, and it has been made worse by this incident. The boss couldn't stand it, contacted the new factory and vehicles, secretly moved the furniture factory away in one night, and also cheated a batch of suppliers for the payment.
The owner of Xinli Furniture Factory, who thought he was smart, was arrested within a few days. Those suppliers couldn't find anyone, so they called the police, and they were all people who were crawling around in the business field, trying to cheat their money?
The incident of the furniture factory sounded a wake-up call for Hu Youmin. An idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time came up again, and he was determined to implement it as soon as possible, and he could not be beaten passively like this again.
