Jiang Yang looked at the reactions of the two and guessed in his heart.

It seems that this middle-aged man should be Xu Zhigao, the former director of the cannery.

He had heard Bai Chengen talk about this person, and he was also a not simple character in Shishan County.

Because of his strong personality, he refused to join Lu Zhenghua's co-optation, and even openly opposed the Lu family many times.

Lu Zhenghua is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can he be presumptuous?

A generation of young talents fell, and then disappeared.

As for where it went, no one knows.

I didn't expect to suddenly return here today, probably to see what the hard work of the year has become now.

Chen Yanli simply said hello and went downstairs.

Jiang Yang took out a cigarette and handed it out.

Xu Zhigao took the light, inhaled hard, and then coughed violently.

"I heard you went to the South?"

Jiang Yang asked with a puff of his cigarette.

Xu Zhigao was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Guangzhou." ”

"The competition for business over there is quite fierce, so it's not easy to do."

Jiang Yang said casually.

Xu Zhigao spat out a puff of smoke: "Yes, I later started a leather business and went bankrupt." ”

The two communicated intentionally or unintentionally, like old friends for many years.

Xu Zhigao didn't ask Jiang Yang why he knew about him, and Jiang Yang didn't take the initiative to ask Xu Zhigao what he had done over the years.

For an afternoon, the two were almost always in this state of communication.

Wang Li tried to remind Jiang Yang of something else several times, but Jiang Yang stretched out his hand to stop her.

It wasn't until late evening that Xu Zhigao left the office with his backpack on his back.

Jiang Yang went out to give him a gift and gave him a business card.

Xu Zhigao took out his wallet from his pocket and stuffed his business card inside.

Out of the office door, Xu Zhigao regained his silence again and left the cold drink factory taking advantage of the sunset.

This time, an old worker recognized him.

"It's Director Xu Zhigao, it's only been a few years, and it's changed a lot."

Jiang Yang stood on the second floor of the office building, just enough to see the long road and Xu Zhigao's back.

Wang Li stepped forward, and the familiar smell of perfume followed.

"Boss, who is this?"

Jiang Yang leaned against the fence and said, "An old man." ”

Wang Li was stunned: "You and he have known each other for a long time?" ”

Jiang Yang smiled and shook his head, got up and went back to the office.

The launch of Tang's popular sparkling drink quickly won unanimous praise from people.

Both in terms of taste and price, it is a lot higher than other drinks.

Jiang Yang looked at the data in front of his desk and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my guess is correct, no matter how the times change, people's pursuit of taste is only progress and no regression.

It turned out that he was right to spend so much money to hire this sparkling drink developed by Zheng Ce.

On the roof of the Stone Hill Department Store, the billboard has been replaced with new content.

The new packaging and design concept of Tang's popular sparkling beverage has jumped in the most conspicuous position in Shishan County.

Jiang Yang looked at the list of materials submitted by Li Yan, and silently counted in his heart, by sunset, the single-day income was as high as nearly 400,000.

"Mr. Jiang, now many dealers from other places want to go back with a batch of new products, but the pressure on the workshop is a little great, and it is not easy to arrange."

Chen Yanli went upstairs, knocked on the office door and said.

Jiang Yang thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "First of all, the dealers in Shishan County will be the mainstay, and as for the customers from other places, notify them that they will start shipping in a week." ”

Chen Yanli nodded: "Got it." ”

At present, Tang popular sparkling drinks have just been launched on the first day, and the market is still in the process of testing.

Jiang Yang knows that Shishan County is the base camp of Tangren Cold Drink Factory, and whether it can really be based on the market is better to lay a good foundation in Shishan County first.

As for cities in other places, it is too late to expand after the market here stabilizes.

Jiang Yang was a little tired after a busy day, and opened the window to breathe, then picked up the car keys and went downstairs.

Just as he was driving in the direction of home, he suddenly remembered that there was a Liu Fang in the hotel.

The woman had nothing in her pocket, and in the morning she was in a hurry to leave, she forgot to leave her some living expenses.

I glanced at my wallet, and there was still almost 2,000 yuan in cash in it, but fortunately, I didn't have to go to the bank to withdraw it.

Turning the head of the car, Jiang Yang drove towards the Shishan Hotel.

……

After Xu Zhigao came out of the cold drink factory, he felt a sense of loss.

It was as if he had lost something very important in his life.

When he returned to Shishan County from Guangzhou this time, the only concern was the canning factory he single-handedly operated.

Now that I have seen it, his concern is gone, and his heart is empty.

For a while, I didn't know where to go.

At the age of forty, he was alone, without parents and children, and without anyone to accompany him.

By the moat, the setting sun reflected the rippling river water, as if covered with a layer of scarlet.

Xu Zhigao stood by the river, tears sprinkled on his face.

Twenty years of ups and downs, but in the end he lives on the streets like a beggar.

At this moment, he had the idea of suicide.

"If you drown, it shouldn't be painful, right?"

Xu Zhigao looked at the water of the moat, took a step forward, and muttered in his heart.

Just as he hesitated, he noticed a woman in a red robe standing on the other side of the moat.

The woman had wavy curly hair, a slender figure, meticulous makeup, and a cherry mouth salivating.

The woman didn't say a word to the moat, her eyes flashing with light, as if she had just shed tears.

Xu Zhigao was suspicious in his heart, isn't this woman the same person as himself, and he can't accompany him on the road?

The two of them are not very far away, but they are only a dozen meters away.

The woman seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at her, and looked back at Xu Zhigao suspiciously.

This turn of hands did not matter, which made Xu Zhigao's heart twitch suddenly.

What a beautiful girl!

Peach blossom eyes, high nose bridge, especially the charm in his bones, made him, a man of nearly forty years old, completely irresistible.

Xu Zhigao felt that his heart was about to jump out.

"Girl, if you want to start something, don't commit suicide."

Xu Zhigao plucked up his courage and stepped forward to say hello.

Unexpectedly, the girl frowned slightly, looked at Xu Zhigao and said, "Who committed suicide?" Neurotic, you, I'm just going to the river to breathe! ”

Xu Zhigao's face turned red, and his embarrassed feet couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.

Liu Fang hugged her shoulders and looked at Xu Zhigao playfully: "I see that you have been standing by the river for a long time, you don't want to commit suicide, right?" ”

Xu Zhigao was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Fang turned her head, looked at the river and said, "I did have the idea of jumping into the river just now, but now I understand it." I even have the courage to die, why can't I live well? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fang walked to Xu Zhigao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everyone has an unbearable past, even I can let go of a woman, what can't you let go of as a big man, right?" ”

Xu Zhigao looked at the woman in the sunset, and his heart stirred up a thousand waves.
