After eating, when I came out of Shao Gang's house, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Pan Dahai ate dog food all night, and after leaving the community, he got in the car as soon as he got into the car and ran away.

The heavy responsibility of sending Gao Siyue home naturally fell on Lu Yuan's shoulders. Of course, this is also what Gao Siyue expected.

In a taxi.

Gao Siyue remembered that at the dinner table just now, Pan Dahai was chatting about Lu Peishan, and couldn't help but gossip, and asked with interest: "Lu Yuan, the fat man said that Sister Shan, has a very unusual relationship with you?" ”

"Well, good friends. The first business I signed after joining the work was for me to be helped by Sister Shan. Lu Yuan said.

Gao Siyue suddenly leaned her face closer and asked, "Compared to me?" ”

Lu Yuan was stunned, "What is compared to you?" ”

"I mean, who are you closer to me and her?" Gao Siyue asked.

"What's in your head?" Lu Yuanle said: "What's there to compare with this? ”

When Gao Siyue heard this, she couldn't help but say happily: "What do you mean, I'm more important to you than her?" ”

Lu Yuan: "......"

"When are you going back to the UK? George will go back to work in Hangzhou in two days, and he will always talk about you. Have a meal together before you go? Lu Yuan changed the topic in time.

"I should go back to the UK after the New Year, I really want to see George, you have set a time and place, and let me know." Gao Siyue said.

Among the four people in the 305 dormitory, Gao Siyue is Ma George, in addition to being close to Lu Yuan. However, compared with Lu Yuan's special feelings, she is more like a sister to a younger brother to Ma George.

"Siyue, you were at the dinner table just now, and you didn't scare Shao Gang! Next time, don't target Shao Gang like this again. Lu Yuan reminded.

"I just targeted him on purpose!"

Gao Siyue said angrily, "Who made him sorry for Wen Yan." ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "You can't just rely on Wen Yan's suspicions to say that Shao Gang has done something sorry for Wen Yan." There has to be proof for this, doesn't it? ”

"The evidence... If there is evidence, can Wen Yan still be with him? ”

Gao Siyue said: "But Lu Yuan, in all fairness, has Shao Gang changed?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Isn't it normal for people to go into society and integrate into the workplace, and there are changes?" ”

"I'm not talking about this change!"

Gao Siyue said angrily: "Look at what he said at the dinner table just now, and his attitude towards Wen Yan, is it still the Shao Gang we knew at the beginning?" Hehe, I think he really forgot how he chased Wen Yan in the first place, and he also forgot the days when Wen Yan accompanied him to save food and clothing. Hehe, where is this? Isn't it just the assistant manager of a company, as for being so arrogant, it is impossible to be alive? ”

"Uh......"

Lu Yuan couldn't say right for a while.

Gao Siyue's indignant rebuke of Shao Gang made him a little unhappy as a brother.

Although he didn't want to listen, he still had to admit that Shao Gang had changed.

It's getting a little forgetful.

Tonight's meal was originally a reunion dinner for the big guys to reminisce about their old love, but after two or three glasses of wine, chatting and chatting, it became Shao Gang's show-off meeting.

For a while, he showed off how many salesmen he had under his hands now, and for a while he showed off how much public entertainment and travel he could reimburse every month, and even used his strength to drink, glad that he did not join Pan Dahai and Lu Yuan's leather bag company and start a business with them, otherwise where would there be the position of the department manager of the dozens of people's congresses today.

Although everyone could see that Shao Gang had drunk too much, Pan Dahai's face was still a little unbearable.

If this is the case alone, Lu Yuan will not be the same thing, and if he drinks too much, he will have a time when he will be ugly, but Shao Gang's attitude towards Su Wenyan and his commanding attitude made Lu Yuan really feel that he was a little carried away and forgot his roots.

Just a deputy department manager had already made him swell like this, and Lu Yuan suddenly believed Su Wenyan's suspicions a little.

I hope it's just a vague suspicion, otherwise the relationship between him and Su Wenyan won't last long.

……

The next day, the sixth day of the new year.

The three cotton factories finally posted a notice about the official contracting of the canteen. As soon as the notice came out, all the controversies and speculations about the canteen fell to the ground, and from the eighth day of the new year, the factory-run canteen that had been running a big pot of rice for decades became a private canteen where everyone had to spend money to eat.

Today, Wang Datou and his family came to Lu Yuan's house again to discuss with Wu Xiuqin about the official opening of the canteen on the eighth day of the new year.

In fact, years ago, they were almost ready. Whether it is the chef, the waiter, or the various supply channels in the kitchen, everything is ready, just waiting for the end of the holiday, and the Hangsan cotton factory has started.

This time the two of them came over, Lu Qingshan's attitude towards them was very different, not only did he not pull his face, but he also gave his daughter-in-law ideas from time to time, which shows that this trip to Guangxi has made his concept change a lot.

His knot in Wang's head also disappeared.

After chatting about the same, Wang suddenly said to Lu Qingshan: "Old Lu, if you resign like me, come to the canteen and work together, let's do it together, you believe me, this canteen will be handed over to us, and it will be designated as prosperous!" ”

Lu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "I can't do it, I won't carry a big spoon when I go to the cafeteria, and I won't plan to plate it, you let me run a hall to pass a dish, I, Lu Qingshan, have been in the Three Cotton Factory for more than 30 years, hehe, I want to save face." ”

"How can you run away from the church? How about you take care of the procurement of the kitchen and all the suppliers are in charge of you? ”

Wang Datou handed over the position of procurement to Lu Qingshan, which shows the sincerity of the cooperation between the two companies.

But Lu Qingshan still shook his head and said, "Big... Uh, Lao Wang, it's not me Lu Qingshan's hypocrisy, I'm really not this material, you have to hand over the procurement of the canteen to me, I still think it's hot. You know my character, which supplier wants to be nice and enthusiastic to me, I can't wipe my face. I still like to go back to my workshop, I have feelings for the workshop, and I am willing to brag with the old guys in the workshop and talk about national affairs. ”

"What's there to stay in this workshop, I've been here for decades, and I haven't stayed enough?" Wang's big head continued to persuade.

At this time, Wu Xiuqin said on the side: "Okay, Brother Wang, don't persuade him, my family Qingshan is willing to stay in the workshop, stay in the workshop for another three or five years, and it is time to retire." ”

These words came out of Wu Xiuqin's mouth, which made Lu Qingshan surprised again.

The old ladies have really changed!

If she wants to put it aside for a long time, she will definitely have a hatred for herself.

It seems that this "running away from home" made her know the importance of her wife.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a burst of dark joy in his heart.

At about four o'clock, Wang got up and said goodbye.

Wu Xiuqin enthusiastically stayed with them for dinner, but there were guests at Wang's house for a while, after all, the sixth day of the first lunar month was a good day to pay New Year's greetings. So he politely refused Wu Xiuqin's retention.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they happened to meet Lu Yuan coming back from outside.

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are leaving? Don't stay home for dinner? Lu Yuan asked.

Wang said with a smile: "There will be guests at home for a while, another day, big nephew." ”

"Okay."

Lu Yuan entered the door and was about to change his slippers, when suddenly Wang's big head stopped and turned around, and asked Lu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, on the first day of the new year, I went to the old factory director's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I happened to bump into Secretary Xiang who was also visiting the old factory director's house. He walked on the front foot, and I arrived on the back foot, but at the old factory director's house, I heard such a thing, and I may be useful to you. ”

Although Wang Datou was the old factory director's relationship back then, he only served as the director of the factory labor insurance station for more than ten years, but he is also a long-term person, every year on the first day of the new year, he will go to the old factory director's house to pay New Year's greetings, in order to thank him for his kindness, even if the old factory director has retired for many years.

"What do you hear? Uncle Wang. Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Wang said with a big head: "I also listened to the old factory director, he said, Xiang Secretary just complained at his house, saying that after the spring of our factory, the money in the account will be tight. It is estimated that the working capital in the factory will not last until the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he smiled and said, "How is this possible? When I was working in the Reform Office, I often dealt with the people in the Finance Office, and they said that although our factory could not keep up with it because of the restructuring, it was fortunate that there was a lot of living money lying on the account, and all of them had the confidence to restructure. It's only been a year, how can there be a shortage of liquidity on the account? ”

"Yes, that's what I asked the old factory director."

Wang said conclusively: "The old factory director told me that two months ago, the living money in our factory's public account was indeed sufficient, but it was the old yellow calendar two months ago. But our factory has been owing nearly 200 million loans from several major banks, do you know? ”

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I know." This loan is not only owed this year, the factory has always owed loans from several banks. This is no secret in the factory building. The reason why there is sufficient living money in the factory's account is not because the loans of several banks can be recycled. ”

Wang said with a big head: "That's right, in previous years, the loan was repaid before the Spring Festival, and then re-loaned from the bank after the festival to ensure that the funds on the account were full." But this year is different, since the beginning of this year, several banks have adjusted their policies, either reducing the loan credit line, or directly not giving our factory revolving refinancing! ”

Lu Yuan exclaimed: "Really? ”

If it's true, it's not a good thing. You must know that the three cotton factories are so confident to carry out restructuring and transformation, because there are two hundred million loans on the account as a recycle, if the bank does not give a reloan, it will be a disaster for the three cotton factories.

In a state-owned factory with more than 3,000 employees, the monthly salary and various hidden benefits alone are an astronomical amount. Relying on the payment of the cotton yarn business alone, not to mention whether it is enough or not, it may be too late in time alone. As a large factory of this size, it would be an absolute disaster if there was no abundant reserve capital that could be liquid at any time.

"I complained to the secretary of the old factory director's house, do you think this matter can be fake?" Wang said with a big head.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and said with emotion: "If this matter is not solved, our three cotton factories will not need to be restructured, and they will go bankrupt directly!" ”

"Bankruptcy is not enough, if the three cotton factories go bankrupt, isn't it in vain for our two contracted canteens? I heard from the old factory director that they had a party committee meeting before the year-end holiday and discussed several methods. ”

Wang Datou continued: "Someone proposed to find the leaders of the Provincial Department of Light and Textile to come forward and discuss the feasibility of refinancing with several banks. ”

Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The adjustment of the bank's policy must be made according to the guidance above, and it is impossible for one or two leaders to come forward and change the policy." Besides, our textile system and the bank are two systems, and the bank still says whether to buy it or not. ”

Wang said with a big head: "We don't know about this." But Xiaoyuan, you know this in your own heart, don't spread it out, once it spreads, there will definitely be chaos in the factory. After all, the livelihood of thousands of people is at stake. ”

"Don't worry, I know the severity."

Lu Yuan nodded seriously, he wouldn't be foolish about this kind of thing. However, he also kept his mind and turned around to call Zhang Danian, he was in the Reform Office, and he should know this kind of news best.

After waiting for Wang's head and his family to leave, Lu Yuan closed the door and reminded Lu Qingshan, who had a heavy face: "Dad, what Uncle Wang said just now, don't tell anyone when you get to the workshop, don't think of a solution yet, the factory has begun to be chaotic." It's a matter of life and death in the three cotton factories, let's not add chaos to the factory! ”

Lu Qingshan sighed lightly, returned to the sofa a little depressed, and suddenly said: "Maybe the Third Cotton Factory will also completely withdraw from the historical stage like the Hang Er Cotton Factory." ”

Wu Xiuqin was stunned for a moment and said, "This can't be, right?" After all, decades of ups and downs have passed, and I haven't encountered any difficulties. In the winter of '85, didn't the factory also fail to pay wages, and later made up for it? ”

Although Wu Xiuqin has been laid off from the factory, and often asks Lu Qingshan to apply for layoff, she is still full of feelings for the three cotton factories, after all, their three generations of family are closely related to the three cotton factories. So suddenly one day, the three cotton mills really ceased to exist, and she still couldn't accept it.

Lu Qingshan said: "At that time in 85 years, can it be compared with now? Times are different, Xiuqin. ”

Lu Yuan returned to the bedroom, dialed the landline of Zhang Danian's house, and Zhang Danian himself answered the phone.

Lu Yuan first paid New Year's greetings to Zhang Danian on the phone, and then asked about what Wang Datou said just now.
