Chapter 524: A ray of hope at the end of the tunnel!
“Little Jiang, what are you talking about?”
Cao Jiande did not understand Jiang Yunyun’s Secret code, so he picked up his laptop and left the meeting room. He did not expect Li Xiaojie to be standing at the door as well. He patted his shoulder and said, ” old Cao, don’t be too sad. Maybe there’s no way out, and there’ll be a ray of light at the end of the tunnel!
“A flower in the dark?”
Cao Jiande was stunned. Li Xiaojie was the Deputy factory director, so his words carried more weight.
“Could it be that there’s still a chance?”
Cao Jiande went to Zheng Guanyu’s office with such an uneasy heart.
“Old Cao is here.”
Zheng Guanyu stood up from his chair, took out a cup and asked, “”Do you want sugar in your coffee?”
“Ah … Add, add.”
It was the first time that Cao Jiande had enjoyed the treatment of Zheng Guanyu pouring coffee for him. He didn’t expect it to be under such circumstances.
He added some sugar to relieve the bitterness in his heart.
“Old Cao is 34 years old this year, right?”
Zheng Guanyu put the coffee on the coffee table, and Cao Jiande quickly stood up to express his gratitude.
“Yeah, I’ll be 35 soon.”
Cao Jiande nodded. The year would be over in a few days.
“Where does your wife work? where are your children?”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Guanyu did not talk about work, but about daily life.
It seemed like this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Cao Jiande suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and answered honestly, ” my wife is in the Jiangling Central Hospital, and my daughter is in third grade at Dongshan foreign primary school.
“So you’ve decided to settle down in Jiangling?” Zheng guanye nodded.
“I was planning to work in the factory until I retired.”
Cao Jiande tried his best to express his unwillingness to leave.
Although it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find another job with his ability and experience, it might not be in Jiangling District of Jianye. Other than that, the real problems he faced were his salary, the separation between husband and wife, and his children’s education.
“So, I also wanted to make new era a public company.”
“But …” Zheng guanye shook his head.
Cao Jiande straightened his back. but, ” the content after that was the key.
but I’m also very sorry for this situation. Old Cao, your fate with the electronics factory has come to an end.
Zheng Guanyu watched as Cao Jiande’s face fell bit by bit. He sighed. last week, after the MP4 and repeater projects were forcefully terminated, I’ve already decided to give up. Hong shiyong’s vision isn’t enough to support the new era. The electronics factory won’t have a good ending.
“Especially when there’s a hungry Wolf outside.”
Zheng Guanyu’s tone was faint.
Cao Jiande didn’t know who President Zheng called ” hungry Wolf “, but it didn’t matter anymore. His departure was already a foregone conclusion.
your ability and experience are excellent. You’ll only be held back if you’re stuck in this new era.
Cao, ” Zheng guanye said seriously. I’m being responsible for you.
“I know,”
Cao Jiande let out a long breath. He was a mature manager, but also a calm middle-aged man. There were old people and young people at the top. If he couldn’t avoid every storm and change in his life, the only way was to silently bear it.
“I’m going back to pack my things. Thank you, President Zheng.”
Before Cao Jiande left, he bowed to Zheng Guanyu again.
His initial annual salary was less than 100000 Yuan. After Zheng Guanyu came to new era more than two years ago, not only did he promote Cao Jiande, but he also raised his annual salary to hundreds of thousands.
This bow represented a deep gratitude and blessing, as well as the grace of appreciation.
“I wonder who that hungry Wolf has taken a fancy to this time?”
Zheng guanye muttered and beckoned Jiang Yunyun in.”From now on, delay for a week for all the important matters that Hong shiyong submitted to me for review.”
“Got it,” Jiang Yunyun stuck out her tongue.
This was the method that Hong shiyong had used to deal with Zheng guanye. In the past, Hong shiyong would always dawdle and delay for a day or two before carrying out any of Zheng guanye’s instructions.
At that time, Zheng guanye was really annoyed.
But now, their roles had reversed. Zheng Guanyu had extended it to a week.
To compete with a woman?
Old Hong was still too inexperienced.
When Cao Jiande returned to his Department, he found that only a few subordinates were waiting for him in the office. The other employees had long disappeared.
human relationships are fickle. I thought there would be a lot of people lining up to hug me and say goodbye.
Cao Jiande’s subordinates were usually more magnanimous and he was a leader who was more popular. However, in the face of reality, most people still didn’t want to offend Hong shiyong, who was about to take power, for a superior who was about to leave.
“I understand everyone’s intentions.”
Speaking of which, I should be thanking all of you for your support all this while. I wish everyone a bright future, a successful career, and a happy family, ” Cao Jiande said to the rest of the people.
Under the reluctant gazes of his former colleagues, Cao Jiande strode out of the administration building with a cardboard box in his arms.
However, in the hall on the first floor, Cao Jiande was surprised to meet Chen hansheng.
Chen hansheng leaned against the door frame and smoked, white smoke coming out of his nostrils. He looked like a hoodlum in the marketplace, which was a perfect match for his ” filthy ” behavior today.
Cao Jiande looked straight ahead and didn’t want to respond at all. He didn’t expect Chen hansheng to actually speak, ” department head Cao, you’re leaving already? do you need any help with moving it? ”
“Thank you, but No.”
Cao Jiande coldly refused.
Old Cao had the air of a famous scholar in the East Jin Dynasty, and he always had a polite look on his face.
“You’re welcome. We’re colleagues after all.”
Chen hansheng grinned.
it’s a disgrace to be your colleague. I don’t think I’ll ever have the chance to do so again!
After Cao Jiande finished speaking, he didn’t forget to throw a stiff ” goodbye!
“Tsk, tsk, this little character is quite cute.”
Chen hansheng extinguished his cigarette and took out his phone to dial a number. the prey has appeared. Prepare to reel in the net.
Cao Jiande came to the parking lot and put the suitcase in the car. But when he sat in the driver’s seat alone, those complicated feelings gushed out violently.
He was not only reluctant to leave the environment he had worked in for many years, but also anxious about his future development. After staying there quietly for ten minutes, Cao Jiande wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, put on his glasses, and stepped on the accelerator.
As he passed through the factory’s Gate, Cao Jiande was touched by the thought that he would never be able to come back again. He suddenly wanted to chat with his wife.
“Honey, are you busy?”
Cao Jiande asked gently.
His lover’s reply came through the receiver. I’m fine. How come you have time to call me today? it’s lunchtime at the factory right now, right? ”
honey, I … I’m fired.
Cao Jiande hesitated for a moment and decided not to hide it from his wife. After all, it was a big deal.
“What? you’re fired?”
His wife cried out in surprise on the phone. Just as she was about to ask, Cao Jiande suddenly said, honey, wait a minute. There’s a Passat in front of us. I’ll call you back later.
It was a white Passat, and the driver was a woman in her thirties. She had a graceful temperament, a beautiful face, and a graceful figure. When she smiled, she revealed a row of white teeth, and there was a subtle style brought by the accumulation of time in the corners of her eyes.
“Hello, Minister Cao.”
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” the female driver said as she handed him a business card.
“Wait for me?”
Cao Jiande tried to recall, but he didn’t know this woman.
Because she was so beautiful, if he had seen her before, he would have had a deep impression of her.
the General Manager of seed capital, Kong Jing.
Cao Jiande read the name card and raised his head in confusion.”You’ve stopped my car. Is there anything I can help you with?”
I’ve heard about what happened to Minister Cao. I’m very sorry.
“I’m planning to use this opportunity to have a few words with Minister Cao,” Kong Jing said politely.
Cao Jiande thought, ” the news spreads so fast. I’ve just left the electronics factory, and there are people blocking my way.
“Now?”
Cao Jiande asked.
“Now, but let’s go to another place.”
Kong Jing walked back into Passat, signaling Cao Jiande to follow her.
“It can’t be a swindler or a Bandit, right? it doesn’t look like it.”
Cao Jiande pondered for a while. If this woman drove to a remote place, he would go straight home.
But to Cao Jiande’s surprise, Passat, who was leading the way, didn’t drive far. He stopped next to new era.
this shouldn’t be a robber, because if you shout loudly here, new era security might be able to hear you.
Seeing Kong Jing get off the car, Cao Jiande also followed.
Minister Cao, you’ve never heard of seed capital before, have you? ”
The mature Kong Jing asked.
“Indeed not.”
Cao Jiande nodded. He was worried that Kong Jing would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain, this might be because my information is too limited. It’s not because your company is not famous.
“It’s just as President Chen said, Cao Jiande is a bit of a gentleman.”
Kong Jing thought to herself as she pointed to a large open space in front of her and said, it’s not that famous now, but a few days ago, we bought 480 acres of industrial land and are planning to build a new electronics factory here.
this is the approval document from the Jiangling government. You can also find this information on the government website.
As Kong Jing spoke, she took out a copy of the land approval.
Cao Jiande didn’t know what she was going to do, but he still took it and flipped through it.
It was indeed the seal of the National Development and Reform Commission and Jiangling District. Since it could be found on the website, it could not be fake.
building an electronics factory here? that’s close to the new era.
Cao Jiande gauged the distance between the two companies and said, ” congratulations, your company is very far-sighted. Electronic products should be one of the mainstream consumer goods in the next ten years.
In that case, why doesn’t Minister Cao participate? ”
Kong Jing suddenly turned her head. on behalf of this piece of white paper-like electronics factory, I sincerely invite Minister Cao to take over. He will be the assistant factory manager in charge of production. The lowest salary will be the same as new era.
“What the hell is this?”
Cao Jiande was taken aback. He hadn’t even become a Deputy factory director in the new era, and the seed capital was actually giving him such treatment?
“Um, I want to ask you, boss Kong, why are you doing this?”
Cao Jiande asked steadily.
first of all, I’m not the boss. I’m just an employee. The boss is someone else, but it’s not convenient for him to show up now. I’m fully in charge.
Kong Jing smiled and waved her hand. secondly, our boss is very familiar with you. He knows your ability. He believes that you can create greater wealth and social effects.
“You’re familiar with me?”
Cao Jiande wondered who it was. He didn’t know a boss of this level except for Zheng Guanyu.
Seeing Cao Jiande in a daze, Kong Jing smiled slyly. your wife is in Jiangling Central Hospital, your daughter is in third grade at Dongshan foreign primary school, and you like to play golf every weekend, right? ”
“How did you know?”
Cao Jiande was shocked. What Kong Jing said was true. It seemed that the boss was really familiar with him.
“How is it?”
director Cao, ” Kong Jing said with her head tilted. now, I’d like to take up one afternoon of director Cao’s time to seriously discuss the future plans for the new factory.
“Alright,” he said.
Cao Jiande finally agreed.
“Then please come back to my office with me.” Kong Jing sat on Passat again.
This time, although Cao Jiande had a lot of questions, he was no longer worried that Kong Jing was a scammer. He called his wife again.
Aiya, you’re killing me. What’s going on? ”
“Why did you get fired all of a sudden?” Cao Jiande’s wife asked anxiously.
“Um …”
Cao Jiande suddenly didn’t know what to say. After a long while, he stammered, ” yes.
honey, you might not believe it, but even though I was just fired, I got a new job in less than 15 minutes.
