Chapter 62: Behind-the-Scenes Deals
"Yo! Daddy Chen, what kind of wind blew you here today? Seeing the old leader standing at the door of his office, Ning Xiangqian hurriedly put down the documents in his hand and greeted him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After years of developing the habit of calling "Daddy Chen", Ning Xiangqian couldn't change his mouth for a while, his body instinctively leaned forward, and his humble posture was the same as before.
"Xiao Ning, hello!" Chen Chuangui patted the back of Ning Xiangqian's hand and asked with a smile, "Is the work going well?" β
"Thanks to you, everything is going well!" Ning Xiangqian replied with a hearty smile, and also patted Chen Chuangui's hand and said, "Father Chen! What do you think? Are you still used to your retirement days? β
"Habit? Of course get used to it! Chen Chuangui was stunned for a moment and said, "Alas! It's just that my memory is not as good as before, and my reaction is a little sluggish! β
"I can't see it! I think you're still as energetic as ever! Ning Xiangqian helped Chen Chuangui, let him sit down on the couch, and flattered him in a flattering tone: "To be honest, at your age, and with such a good figure as you, it's okay!" β
"No! Old! Chen Chuangui waved his hand and sighed and said: "Look, your hands and feet are not as sharp as before, climbing a building, walking or something, they are far worse than before!" β
"The laws of nature! The laws of nature! Looking at the vicissitudes of Chen Chuangui's face, Ning Xiangqian couldn't help but feel a little apologetic: "Daddy Chen, you see that since I took over your work, I have been relatively busy, and I haven't taken the time to see you yet, don't be angry!" β
"I knew you were busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you!" Chen Chuangui smiled indifferently, and after the greetings, he turned to the topic: "Xiao Ning! I'm here this time, but I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! β
"Daddy Chen, if you have something, you just want it!" Ning Xiangqian patted his chest and said, "Say! What do you need help with? β
"Need help from the company...... I don't! Chen Chuangui hesitated for a moment, then said with a forced smile: "Hey! It's not a big deal, or it's not my personal matter, but this matter can only be solved by you Xiao Ning. β
"Oh! Tell me about it! Ning Xiangqian replied happily: "You are my old leader, as long as I can help Ning Xiangqian, I will go to the soup and fight the fire!" β
"It's serious! It's serious! Chen Chuangui's smiling Chao Ning arched his hand forward, and then put away his smile and asked, "Xiao Ning, what is Wu Youwei's matter...... You should have known about it for a long time, right? β
"Wu Youwei's matter?" Ning Qianqian frowned, and suddenly understood the purpose of Chen Chuangui's trip, although he was very disgusted in his heart, he didn't think much about it, but just said casually: "Are you talking about him being arrested in **** in Province A?" I only found out about this more than 10 days ago. However, Daddy Chen, if you want me to find a way to get him back from the detention center in Province A, I may not have that ability. As you know, I have no relatives or friends in Province A, let alone people from the public security organs. β
"I didn't come to the company to ask you to pull Wu Youwei back from Province A." Chen Chuangui waved his hand forward and said, "For this kind of person who can't change the ****, let him stay in the detention center for a few days and reflect on it, I don't think it's a bad thing." β
"So, what do you mean by coming to me?" Ning Qianqian asked.
"Hey! I'll get straight to the point! Chen Chuangui coughed dryly and said, "I heard that Jiaxin Company is sorting out Wu Youwei's materials recently, is there such a thing?" β
"How do you know?" Ning Xiangqian couldn't understand that Chen Chuangui was far away in the provincial capital, seven or eight hundred miles away from the company, how could he know about the things in the company? Could it be an uncertain prophet?
"Xiao Ning, you just answer me if there is such a thing, right?" Chen Chuangui did not answer Ning Xiangqian's question and continued the topic he had just discussed.
"Yes!" Ning Qianqian nodded and replied, "But...... That's not what I personally meant! β
"I don't want to know who it means!" Chen Chuangui stared at Ning Xiangqian's eyes and said, "Xiao Ning, I came this time just to know what you mean. β
"What do I mean?" Ning Xiangqian spread his hands and said helplessly: "Father Chen, you are my old leader, you know the things at work, and the current Jiaxin Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. is not what it used to be!" Big and small things have to go through organizational procedures, and it is a collective decision. What do you mean by asking? I can only mean to obey the majority of the company's leadership team. β
"Xiao Ning! You can't go too far in life and work! Regarding Ning Xiangqian's answer, Chen Chuangui was obviously not satisfied.
"I don't understand what you mean!" Ning Xiangqian also put away his smile.
"You know what I mean!" Chen Chuangui said meaningfully: "Xiao Ning, whether you are a person or an official, it is best not to make too many enemies!" To understand the truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, feng shui has always been in turn. β
"The more I listen to your words, the more I don't understand!" Chen Chuangui's words were neither soft nor hard, which made Ning Xiangqian very useless to listen to, out of politeness, he suppressed his temperament and asked, "Dare to ask Daddy Chen, what do you want me to do?" β
"Be forgiving and forgiving!" Seeing that Ning Xiangqian's face was not very good-looking, Chen Chuangui realized his situation, so he softened his tone and said, "Xiao Ning, you have been in Jiaxin Company for more than 20 years, right?" You should know, which subordinate of Jiaxin Salinization Company have you seen who was sent to prison by his boss? Not at all! So I hope that you can also inherit the glorious tradition of the older generation and not do that kind of thing that harms others and yourself. β
"Lao Chen, I don't like to hear what you say!" Chen Chuangui's words obviously implied that he was doing something in the rectification of Wu, although he had such thoughts in his heart, but he could never accept it, Ning Xiangqian's face flushed, and his title was changed from Father Chen to Lao Chen, he asked Chen Chuangui rhetorically: "When did I send my subordinates to prison?" β
"No, that's the best!" Chen Chuangui realized that his words were heavy, and tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "But I heard that the company seems to be doing something like this recently. β
"Catch the wind!" Ning Xiangqian's face was unhappy.
"I heard that the materials are almost ready, how can it be said that it is chasing the wind and shadows?" Chen Chuangui's face was tepid.
"What material?" Ning Xiangqian asked, "Who are you listening to?" β
"You don't need to know who said it!" Chen Chuangui replied: "In fact, it doesn't matter who said it, what matters is whether there is such a thing in the company." β
"Is this what you're talking about?" Ning Xiangqian felt that the matter had come to this, and it didn't make much sense to deny it, as if he was engaged in conspiracy, so he took out the material that had been brewing for several days from under the coffee table and threw it in front of Chen Chuangui, but he still didn't forget to clear up the relationship between the material and himself: "I told you at the beginning, the company is not the same as before, and many things are not up to me alone, and this material is the same, both the above meaning, as well as some personal thoughts of the company's leadership team." As for me, I said that I was the general manager of Jiaxin Salt Chemical Co., Ltd., but in fact I was just a puppet of the Provincial Salt Industry Company, and many things were not transferred by my will! β
Chen Chuangui picked up the materials and flipped through them, and sure enough, they were the investigation materials of the Discipline Inspection Committee of Jiaxin Salinization Company, which included the financial statements of the sales branch for many years, as well as the witness testimony of Wu Youwei's old subordinates who were the sellers seeking glory. the second is to earn the difference in price and embezzle public funds; The third is moral decay and corrupt work style. If such materials are sent to the relevant departments, can there be Wu Youwei's good fruits to eat?
Chen Chuangui put down the materials in his hand with an ugly face, and turned his head to look at Ning Qianqian: "Xiao Ning, what are you going to do with this material?" β
"It's not what I do with this material!" Looking at Chen Chuangui's gloomy face, Ning Qianqian stretched out his arms and leaned on the sofa, and replied in a relaxed tone: "I told you just now that the current Jiaxin Salt Chemical Co., Ltd., all things are collective decisions, as for me, even if I have ideas, I can only represent my personal opinions, so how to deal with this material is a matter for the entire leadership team." β
"Xiao Ning, don't tell me these clichΓ©s, okay?" Chen Chuangui's tone was a little low: "Actually, I understand what you said!" I understand the situation you are in! However, for the sake of the past when we have worked together, this time you will let Wu Youwei go, how about it? β
"You're serious!" Ning Xiangqian replied with a smile: "Didn't I tell you?" This is the research decision of the company's leadership team, and it is not my personal holiday with Deputy General Manager Wu. β
"So, you're stubborn about not helping with this?" Chen Chuangui put away his smiling face and tried to restore his former dignity.
"Unless you have the right reasons, it's hard for me to convince myself to do what you say." Ning Xiangqian's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing Chen Chuangui's ugly face, he felt that he should add something, and he continued: "You know that it is not easy to get the leaders of the Provincial Salt Industry Company and the members of the leadership team of Jiaxin Salt Chemical Company to change their minds, this is one of them; Second, you also know how Deputy General Manager Wu treated me personally in the past, and I really can't remember any point where it is worth me to help him. β
"I can understand your struggle!" Chen Chuangui nodded and sighed, and then said, "Alas! This Wu Youwei has indeed done a lot of things to be sorry for you, isn't it just you, for so many years, don't I have to endure his misdeeds? Isn't it just because his father-in-law is the deputy mayor of H City? But...... Xiao Ning, to speak a word of conscience, I just can't bear to see my subordinates go to prison one day for some things, I don't know if this can be a reason to convince you? β
"What's the reason for that?" Ning sneered at his front nostrils, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Between me and Wu Youwei, although there is no major holiday, but there is no very friendship, in the big issues of right and wrong, if you want me to help him, I really can't do it!" β
"It's not that you can't do it!" Chen Chuangui stared at Ning Xiangqian's eyes and said in a cold tone: "Xiao Ning, don't tell me these clichΓ©s, do you think there were fewer clichΓ©s when I was in your position back then?" I think someone is determined to put Wu Youwei in prison! β
"What's that called?" Ning Xiangqian was anxious when he heard this, his body straightened up suddenly, and he locked his eyes on Chen Chuangui's face and said, "Father Chen, listen to your tone, is it possible that I Ning Xiangqian likes to send my subordinates to prison?" β
"Maybe you don't have that idea, but maybe other people inside Schwab Salinization don't think so!" Seeing that Ning Xiangqian's face was not good-looking, Chen Chuangui's tone softened again: "So, I came to Jiaxin Company this time to ask Xiao Ning for your help." β
"Oops! Daddy Chen, I'm afraid this favor is not too helpful! Ning Xiangqian's body leaned back on the sofa again, he stretched out his right hand and scratched his scalp, and said in a tone that was both embarrassed and helpless: "Let's tell you this!" In this matter, even if I would rather be willing to help Daddy Chen personally and remain neutral during the meeting, I can't decide the final fate of this material. β
"Xiao Ning! Oh! No! I should call you General Manager Ning! After listening to Ning Xiangqian's answer, Chen Chuangui patted his thigh and stood up, pointed at Ning Xiangqian's nose angrily and said, "General Manager Ning, Deputy General Manager Wu is kind to you!" Do you have to kill them all? β
"Daddy Chen, I don't understand what you mean anymore!" Seeing the expression of the once invincible old leader uncontrollable in front of him, for some reason, Ning Xiangqian's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of pleasure, he looked calm, and his words were calm: "You are so excited, why in the end?" β
"You know what I mean!" Chen Chuangui tried his best to suppress his emotions, but his face still couldn't hide his angry and corrupt mentality: "If General Manager Ning must burn all the jade, then you might as well go on according to your own train of thought!" β
"Burning jade? Are you threatening me? Chen Chuangui's words made Ning Xiangqian feel moved, and he asked Chen Chuangui: "Dare to ask Daddy Chen, will this material be related to my Ning's future?" β
"Absolutely! Great! Chen Chuangui sneered from his nose, pointed to the material on the coffee table and said, "Knock down Wu Youwei, do you think you will be the ultimate winner?" Not bad! Wu Youwei has indeed done a lot of things on this material, and serious investigation is enough to keep him in prison for ten years and eight years. But...... However, you think that Wu Youwei has done these bad things, and the benefits are all in his pocket, you are very wrong! The entire sales branch, including your wife Lu Zifei, do you think their bodies are clean? β
"Lu Zifei?" Ning Xiangqian's face was full of astonishment, and he opened his mouth wide and asked Chen Chuangui: "Can Wu Youwei's matter have anything to do with Lu Zifei?" β
"Of course it can be related!" Chen Chuangui's tone was full of disdain: "Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost, under the nest, how many eggs are finished?" β
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Chuangui's words made Ning Xiangqian lose his confidence a little, but he was unwilling.
"I didn't threaten you! If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask Lu Zifei! A smile appeared on Chen Chuangui's face, and the smile was full of contempt: "If I'm not mistaken, before Lu Zifei joined the sales company, you and her were still renting a house on the outskirts of the city, right?" After Lu Zifei joined the sales company, in less than a year, your family bought a house in the prosperous area of H City, with the fixed salary of you and your wife at that time, do you think you can afford to buy a house in the urban area? β
Under Chen Chuangui's stern gaze, Ning Xiangqian lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Chen Chuangui is right! After marrying Lu Zifei, he could only go to the remote suburbs to rent other people's houses to survive, and with his and Lu Zifei's salary income at the time, it can be said that it is a fantasy to buy a house in the urban area. Since Lu Zifei entered the sales branch and became the department manager, after her activities, she was successfully promoted to the manager of the salt branch, the family's economic income has improved greatly, and the matter of buying a house has also been put on the agenda.
Although Ning Xiangqian is the manager of the salt branch, his salary and welfare income are much less than that of Lu Zifei, the department manager. On the passbook at home, Lu Zifei's money will be credited to the account every once in a while, and when asked why she has so much money, she always smiled and said that it was a bonus or a business trip subsidy or something, as for the rest, she didn't say a word, and repeatedly told him not to let him talk to outsiders about his income in the sales company. Could it be that Lu Zifei really hid herself, as Chen Chuangui said, she has a shocking secret?
"Then again, even if you hand over this material to the relevant departments, do you think you will definitely be able to bring down Wu Youwei?" Chen Chuangui interrupted Ning Xiangqian's thinking: "Not bad! Wu Youwei is staying in the bureau now, and even if you can succeed, he will only stay in the prison for a while longer. Besides, whether your wish can be realized, I think it's still unknown, you know Wu Youwei's family background, will his father-in-law allow others to frame his son-in-law? β
"I'm ......" Ning opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
"Xiao Ning! Be kind! Seeing that Ning Qianqian frowned, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, Chen Chuangui sat down again, leaned back, and leaned back on the sofa. He continued in a serious tone: "Regarding Wu Youwei's matter, I advise you to think twice, if you are in a hurry, he will jump over the wall in a hurry and break the net, and then your wife Lu Zifei will also be involved, I am afraid that the owner of this office will be replaced again!" β
"Daddy Chen, according to you...... How should I clean up the current situation? Chen Chuangui's words were understated, but in Ning Qianqian, it sounded like thunder in the winter moon, he was like a defeated rooster, and he lowered his brows and asked Chen Chuangui in frustration.
"Big things are small, small things are small!" A smile flashed across Chen Chuangui's face: "Drag!" Let time dilute everything! β
"So...... What about Wu Youwei? Ning Xiangqian asked again: "What should the company do with him?" β
"What do you want to do with Wu Youwei?" Chen Chuangui asked rhetorically.
"According to my personal wishes, I hope that he will disappear from Jiaxin Salinization Company from now on, so that he will not be able to follow **** eggs everywhere at work!" Ning replied through gritted teeth.
"What's so hard about that? You are the general manager of Charles Schwab Salinization, and you have the right to decide whether he stays or stays. Chen Chuangui said with a smile.
"I'm afraid he'll jump off the wall and do the things you said!" Ning Xiangqian expressed his worries.
"Don't worry about this!" Chen Chuangui waved his hand and said: "You don't use this material to make trouble for him, it's a great favor for him!" Besides, if you are willing to keep him, I don't think he will have the face to stay in Jiaxin Salinization! β
"Can you guarantee that he'll leave Schwab?" Ning Qianqian asked.
"I can't guarantee it!" Chen Chuangui replied with a smile: "However, if Wu Youwei has different ideas, I can do his ideological work and let him disappear in front of your eyes forever." β
"That's good! That's it! Ning Qianqian slapped the coffee table and said as if he had made up his mind: "Today is the day when Wu Youwei was released from prison, I have asked his driver Sun Shu'an to pick him up, it is estimated that he will be able to go to H City in the evening, it just so happens that you are here, and I will set up a table at the Shangri-La Hotel tonight, one is to pick you up, and the other is to see off Deputy General Manager Wu, what do you think?" β
"Thank you General Manager Ning for your kindness!" Chen Chuangui replied with a smile: "I will definitely attend tonight's banquet on time!" β
......
Shangri-La Hotel, private room. Ning Xiangqian, Chen Chuangui, and Wu Youwei sat around a large round table. On the dining table, a table full of various dishes was placed, and the wine glasses were filled with the good wine of the land, but none of the three of them had any intention of raising a spoon, and sat there silently with their own hearts.
The more than ten days in prison in Province A has made Wu Youwei lose his former brilliance. The eyes are deep-set, the cheekbones are high, and the hair, which used to be able to slip flies, now looks messy and dull; The beard has not been shaved for many days, and it spreads wantonly and flamboyantly on the face; The ruddy face that had been there before now looked dull and haggard; The suit is still the same expensive suit, perhaps because he has not lowered his body for several days, and his body is full of wrinkles.
"Promising, this is General Manager Ning's special pick up for the two of us!" Chen Chuangui took the lead in breaking the silence, and raised his wine glass to greet Wu Youwei and Ning Xiangqian: "Come!" Let's raise a glass together to thank General Manager Ning for his kindness! β
Wu Youwei lowered his head, blushed, didn't say a word, raised his wine glass and drank it all.
"Daddy Chen, you're polite!" Ning Qianqian smiled in his eyes, drank the wine in his glass, and said: "Everyone is a comrade in the trenches, shouldn't you do the friendship of the landlord?" β
"Promising! What are your plans for coming back this time? Seeing that Wu Youwei didn't speak, Chen Chuangui then asked.
"What can I do!" Wu Youwei's nose was sore, tears almost fell, and he muttered, "Don't count on it yet...... General Manager Ning...... You can enjoy a bite to eat. β
"Deputy General Manager Wu, it stands to reason that your request is not too much at all!" Ning Xiangqian "smacked" his mouth and said, "Since you got out of this situation, the impact on the company...... Alas! Don't talk about it! The leaders of the provincial salt industry company also attach great importance to this, and ask Jiaxin Salt Chemical Company to come up with a treatment plan as soon as possible. β
"General Manager Ning, I know that the mistake I made this time has a bad impact in the company, you deal with me strictly!" Wu Youwei looked at Ning Xiangqian pitifully: "It doesn't matter! I'm mentally prepared! It's true! I just want you to give me a bite to eat! β
"Promising! You are making it difficult for General Manager Ning, do you know? Chen Chuangui said: "If something like this happens, how do you face the ups and downs of Jiaxin Salinization Company?" What face do you have to face them? β
"I ......" Wu Youwei sobbed, he wiped his tears and said: "I don't go back to Jiaxin Company, where else can I go?" β
"Let's go home and rest for a few days, and we'll talk about work later!" Chen Chuangui picked up his wine glass and said to Wu Youwei: "Come!" We drink first and don't think about anything else! β
"Home? I don't have a home anymore! Wu Youwei didn't raise his glass, he shook his head and said.
"Oh? What's going on? Chen Chuangui put down the wine glass again, and asked with a puzzled face.
"During my detention, Hu Shengnan has officially filed for divorce from me, and I have signed the divorce certificate, so I have no home to go back to!" Tears flowed horizontally across Wu Youwei's face.
"Oops! How did the family know about what you did in A? Chen Chuangui shook his head regretfully and scolded hatefully: "Which ghost who lacks virtue told Hu Shengnan?" Alas! It's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and a bad thing spreads thousands of miles! β
"I'm already running nowhere!" Wu Youwei picked up his wine glass and said to Ning Qianqian: "General Manager Ning, I was confused before, and you don't care about villains!" I only ask you to reward your brother with a bite to eat, as long as you can have a place to live, even if you are a worker, I have no opinion! β
Ning Xiangqian didn't raise a glass, he looked at Wu Youwei quietly, his heart was full of the joy of a winner. For this day, he had been waiting for a long time, but when it really came, he felt full of unbearableness, and even had compassion, he was hesitating whether to agree to Wu Youwei's request.
If the winner loses the loser as a target, the meaning of success will be greatly reduced.
"You're promising, don't make trouble for General Manager Ning!" Chen Chuangui pressed the wine glass in Wu Youwei's hand and said earnestly: "For your business, General Manager Ning is already annoyed enough!" Besides, if you go back, how do you ask General Manager Ning to arrange your position? Deputy General Manager? Will the provincial company agree? As you said, as a worker, will General Manager Ning feel at ease? β
"But I'm homeless!" Wu Youwei said unwillingly.
"Deputy General Manager Wu, there is a document here, you can take a look at it first, if you want to return to Jiaxin Salinization Company after reading it, I will definitely promise you!" Ning Qianqian pulled out the briefcase on the chair behind him, took out a document, and handed it to Wu Youwei with a smile.
Wu Youwei didn't know why, he took the materials with both hands and flipped through them, looking at them, his face turned white, and his teeth couldn't help fighting.
"If you take a closer look, this is the subordinate you have cultivated!" Seeing that Wu Youwei didn't speak, Chen Chuangui teased beside him: "Seeing that you are in the water, everyone will use stumbling to kick you!" After reading the materials, do you want to go back and work with them? β
"General Manager Ning, what are you going to do with this material?" After a long time, Wu Youwei took his eyes off the material and asked faintly.
"The meaning of the company's leadership team is that they want me to hand over this material to the court; Father Chen, Old Man Chen, means that he hopes that I will make a big thing a small thing and cover up this matter. How to do it, I have to ask for your meaning. Ning replied.
"What do you want me to do?" Wu Youwei asked again.
"If you insist on your attitude, you must go back to the company, it is difficult for me to use this material to explain to the leadership team; If you listen to Daddy Chen and leave Jiaxin Salinization Company from now on, I will do my best to make this material disappear. Ning Xiangqian replied: "Just ask a person who leaves the company, can the people in the company still be guilty of scheming with him?" β
"I listen to Daddy Chen!" Wu Youwei wiped his tears with his hands heavily, and fell down on the table "woo".
"That's right!" Chen Chuangui patted Wu Youwei's shoulder and said: "Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, with your ingenuity, don't worry about not being able to break into the world!" β
"Come on! Drink! Ning Xiangqian raised his glass to Wu Youwei.
"Come on! Drink! Chen Chuangui also raised his glass to Wu Youwei.
"Drink!" Wu Youwei picked up the wine glass on the table, craned his neck, and drank it all...... (To be continued.) )
