Chapter Thirty-One: Life and Death in One Month

  When Xu Yao saw her father holding Wen Qing's hand and walking through the crowd, her small mouth opened wide enough to swallow the entire Qingzhou. The first thought that came to mind was regretting not being firm enough in her stance yesterday, how did she let this stinky brat deceive her with his eloquent words? Talking about how the future value of Qinghe Doujiang would exceed 10 billion and the position of CEO was reserved for her, etc. Not to mention whether she could enjoy the treatment of a CEO or not, but her ears were already suffering.

  Xu Yao lowered her head, intending to use the ostrich mentality to muddle through, silently reciting in her heart: You can't see me, you can't see me! Suddenly, a familiar voice said: "Boss Li, your store is very thoughtful, bright and clean, simple and elegant..."

  Li Shengli leaned to one side, letting Xu Fuyan lead the way. He opened his mouth but couldn't get a word out for a moment. This was indeed difficult for him; in over 30 years, it was the first time he had faced such a high-ranking leader face-to-face, and tension was normal. Wen Jian interrupted, "Secretary Xu is being too kind. With Li Shu's small business, funds are definitely insufficient, so they can only put in some hard work in minor areas. Ordinary people just want a quick and clean breakfast; as long as we try our best to meet their demands, how could we not make money? What do you think, Uncle Li?"

  Li Shengli let out a sigh of relief and hastily smiled: "Exactly, exactly! It's still Wen Tong who has insight. I only had a vague feeling about it, but couldn't quite put it into words."

  He's a straightforward person, and after these days, he has absolute faith in Wen Qian, so what he said is absolutely true. Wen Huai Ming is still okay to say, after all, he was also shocked by his son for a while, but when heard by Wei Gang, it feels strange no matter how. In their eyes, Wen Qian is just a young man who is not afraid of strangers, has an open personality, and is eloquent. Praising him as smart is enough, but Li Shengli's expression and language when facing Wen Qian are involuntarily accompanied by a bit of respect and reserve. With this idea, Wei Gang's gaze towards Wen Huai Ming becomes a bit strange, and Wei Gang even thinks that maybe this store was opened by Wen Huai Ming, and Li Shengli is just a spokesperson pushed out?

  Wen Jian also broke out in a cold sweat, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suspected that he was flattering. He secretly glanced at Xu Fuyan. Old Xu had an unchanging smile on his face, listened to Li Shengli's words, and patted Wen Jian's shoulder, saying: "You seem to understand everything, Director Wen, your son is much better than my daughter."

  At this time, Xǔ Yáo was just passing by, and Xǔ Fùyán didn't even glance at her, but suddenly blurted out a sentence. Those who knew the inside story almost couldn't hold back their laughter. Xǔ Yáo had already shrunk her head into her chest, but upon hearing this, she immediately lifted her head up, her eyes wide open, and her small mouth pouted, looking like she was about to bite someone. Wēn Huáimíng watched this scene with a bitter smile, shaking his head, what's all this about?

  "This kid is a troublemaker, I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Can't compare to your family's clever and obedient little girl..."

  Xu Fuyan burst out laughing and led the way into the restaurant. Xu Yao didn't recognize Wen Huiming, but secretly praised him: This uncle has good taste!

  At this time, the crowd of onlookers stirred, and a man suddenly said: "That person seems to be Secretary Xu..."

  "It's impossible! Director Xu is such a high-ranking official, how can he come to this small restaurant to eat?" A middle-aged woman said disbelievingly.

  "What's impossible? Haven't you seen emperors going undercover on TV?"

  "It was Secretary Xu who was right, I am from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, I have heard Secretary Xu's speech, it was he who was right."

  "Oh dear, it's really oh..."

  "What does the owner of this store do?"

  Xu Fuyan came to Qingzhou not long ago, and his exposure rate remained below normal levels, so it was only natural that ordinary people didn't recognize him. However, there were many residential units of municipal departments in this area, and it was during the National Day holiday, so those who knew Xu Fuyan were shocked. They didn't understand the situation and thought Xu Fuyan had come to Qinghe Doujiang to help with its opening ceremony, and they all wondered: when would Qingzhou have another big shot businessman like Gu Shi Tong and Fan Heng An?

  Ning Xiaoyin stood by, well-versed in human relationships. Seeing that the crowd around had already recognized Xu Fuyan's arrival and surrounded him at the door, she knew that this was not a suitable occasion for recognition. So, she obediently stood there without saying an extra word. On the contrary, when Xu Fuyan and others entered the door, she bowed her waist and said: "Welcome!"

  After taking a few steps back, Yang Guangsheng, Meng Shanshui, and Wei Gang went ahead, whispering to each other: "Comrade Xu Yao, your service attitude needs to be corrected. You didn't even say 'welcome', and you actually dared to glare at the guests. Be careful or I'll deduct all of your pay for today, and don't think about getting dinner!"

  Xu Yaqi's furious, just about to ignore her ladylike identity and beat him half to death, when Wen Jian suddenly became serious, clasped his hands together in a bow, and said in a voice that only the two could hear: "If your dad asks, say I didn't know his identity, remember!"

  This is the only flaw. After Xu Fuyan returns home, he will definitely ask Xu Yao this question, so Wen Chen wants to make a report to Xiao Yatou in case of any emergency.

  Xu Yao gazed at Wen Qing, his smile as usual, his eyes clear and bright, seeming to see a hint of warmth that touched his heart, his face suddenly flushed red, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I know!"

  Still like every time before, without asking the reason or the excuse, Xu Yaonai is not stupid, but has a cleverness that surpasses people of the same age. However, just because of the happiness and dizziness caused by the rapid heartbeat in his eyes for an instant, he fearlessly and unhesitatingly does what he wants me to do!

  Wen Xie smiled and turned to Ning Xiaocong, giving her a thumbs up, praising her cleverness and clarity. Ning Xiaocong held her head high, with an expression of disdain, yet exuding a unique charm.

  A group of people entered the operating room, and Li Shengli had already adapted to the rhythm of speaking with Xu Fuyan. He explained the production process, ingredient temperature, hygiene matters, and distribution system one by one, clearly and concisely. Before long, Xu Fuyan was nodding frequently. Especially when he heard that Li Shengli had resigned from his job at the agricultural machinery factory due to poor performance and started a business, failing once before summarizing his experience and lessons to strive again, planning to make Qinghe soy milk one of the images of Qingzhou's breakfast industry, making "healthy breakfasts" and "reassuring breakfasts" for ordinary people. Xu Fuyan was overjoyed and personally bought soy milk, oil strips, scallion pancakes, and egg cakes at the front desk, with each staff member getting a share. He sat in the first row of chairs facing the door and took a sip.

  October's Qingzhou, already had a few points of coolness, the entrance to the bean juice immediately melted, bringing a full mouth of sweetness and fragrance down the throat, warm but not fierce warmth slowly spread between the mouth and abdomen, blowing away the cold air throughout the body. Xu Fuyan smiled with a smile on his face, holding a cylindrical paper cup beside his cheek, said to Li Shengli: "Good drink!"

  A staff member holding a camera accurately captured this moment, quickly pressing the shutter release, and the flash flashed by.

  Wen Qian kept staring at his face, and upon hearing the two words "good drink", he secretly kicked Li Shengli. Li Shengli suddenly realized, and with great force, applauded and thanked: "To receive Secretary Xu's golden praise is an honor for all of us at Qinghe Doujiang. Please rest assured, Secretary Xu, that Qinghe Doujiang will not disappoint your expectations, serving the ordinary people, serving the general public, and contributing to the economic development of Qingzhou."

  Wei Gang swallowed a mouthful of soy milk without tasting it, MB's entire staff consisted of only two or three employees; MB still contributed to the economic development of Qingzhou, relying on you, all of Qingzhou would become beggars. He had originally planned to humiliate Li Shengli severely today, and then find someone to shut down this broken store, but unexpectedly not only did neither of these things succeed, he was also severely humiliated by a young kid, unable to vent his anger at Xu Fuyan, he directed all his resentment and fury at Wen Qian, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

  A group of people wolfed down their portions, some pretending to eat, but Wei Gang definitely forced himself to finish his share. The secretary was treating them, and he would choke to death rather than leave a single bite behind! Xu Fuyan didn't linger and left immediately after getting into the car. Although the crisis brought by Xu Yao had passed safely, Wen Huiming still had to explain what happened to Xu Fuyan at the first opportunity. He didn't even have time to apologize to Wen Qian before following him out.

  As soon as the motorcade left, the crowd outside surged in with a whoosh. Some bolder ones were just near the entrance and heard Xu Fuyuan say "good drink". China has had a serious official rank ideology since ancient times, even ordinary people will unconsciously think about getting close to officials, even if they sit in the same restaurant, eat the same thing, it seems to add a few points of glory to their own face.

  It has to be said that Qinghe Doujiang inadvertently made a big advertisement, and what's even more rare is that the spokesperson did it for free.

  It's not that Wen Ze doesn't dare to use Xu Fuyang for publicity, but doing so would either mean he's brainless or thinks his business has been going on for too long. The trick is simple: just have Wen Huiming write an article about today's event, starting from Xu Fuyang's concern for laid-off workers' re-employment and extending it to the overall state-owned enterprise reform in Qingzhou. With a good intention, even mentioning Qinghe Douchuang wouldn't seem out of place, thus avoiding Xu Fuyang's potential dislike. Then, pair it with the photo taken earlier and the phrase "delicious", and publish it on the front page of Qingzhou Daily, and Qinghe Douchuang's popularity will spread rapidly!

  Outside, the crowd was in an uproar, extremely lively. Wen Jie hated this kind of noise the most. Alone, she hid in the operating room with her chin propped up, deep in thought. Suddenly, someone gave her shoulder a heavy pat, and her entire arm felt numb. Turning around, Wei Gang was standing behind her with a cup of soy milk, accompanied by that middle-aged man in his forties, Geng, and several other agricultural machinery factory workers.

  Wei Gang smiled and said, "Wen Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. But do you know Fang Zhongyong? Those who are too clever at a young age often don't have a good ending."

  Wen Ze knew that Wei Gang would definitely retaliate for today's humiliation, but he didn't expect him to not even have the patience to wait a few days. As soon as Xu Fuyan and his father left, he couldn't wait to find some dignity back from himself.

  This person is no longer to be feared!

  Meng Shanshui still overestimated Wei Gang. This guy just apologized to Wen Qian with a soft attitude, the fundamental reason is that he was afraid of Xu Fuyan's official power. What tolerance, what overall situation, not thinking at all. As soon as Xu Fuyan left, the fear disappeared, and he immediately regretted his performance just now. In fact, it was nothing, just a little bit of topping, Xu Fuyan could do nothing to him. If the soft-boiled egg performance just now was transmitted to Zhou Yuanting's ears...

  This thought has been harbored for a lifetime, and the evil fire in his heart can no longer be suppressed. Moreover, he had just lost face in front of everyone at the agricultural machinery factory, so if he didn't get some of it back, what dignity would he have left in their eyes?

  Wen Jie just took a glance at him and understood the sinister thoughts in his heart, coldly sneering: "Hmph, I really didn't expect it, Director Wei is still a cultured person. However, what a pity, even if Fang Zhongyong was somewhat intelligent, he's still much better than some people who are stupid as pigs for their entire lives."

  Looking for trouble? Sorry, I'm not having it!

  Li Shengli and Zhao Jianguo were talking outside, but their eyes kept glancing over here. Seeing that the two men's expressions didn't match, they immediately walked over. Li Shengli, who was good-natured and liked to make money, didn't want to further offend Wei Gang, so he smiled and said: "Director Wei, try some of this soy milk, is it to your taste?"

  Zhao Jianguo also hastened to mediate, saying: "That's right, Director Wei has always been known as a gourmet, if he praises this bean sprouts a few times, the name of Qinghe will immediately spread throughout Qingzhou City."

  Looking on coldly, the thoughts of these two people are completely in vain! In this world, there will always be someone who thinks they were born to be superior to others. Your tolerance and humility, except for making him more arrogant, have no other use at all.

  As expected, Wei Gang picked up the cup and turned it around in his hand before pouring the entire cup of soy milk onto the floor in front of Wen Qian.

  "With such stuff, even feeding pigs would be too coarse. It's amazing you still have the nerve to dream of getting rich. You little brat, don't think that just because someone is backing you up, I won't be able to take care of you. This store, I'll make sure it closes down within a month!"

  With a crash, the soy milk cup was smashed to the ground, splashing up several white waves that streaked through the air.

  Although the words were more intimidating than realistic, Li Shengli was still furious, his whole body trembling with rage, pointing at him and saying: "You... you, Secretary Xu has praised it as a good drink, how dare you say such things? You..."

  Wei Gang glanced at him and said disdainfully: "You're also worthy of pulling Xu Fuyan's big flag? Let me tell you, the matter in Qingzhou is not just up to him to decide!"

  Wen Qian really wants to laugh, this is the way of the world, this is the hundred ways of officialdom. Even if Xu Fuyuan can suppress Wei Gang on the spot, before he establishes absolute authority, when facing small characters like Wen Qian and Li Shengli, you can never imagine where the limit of their arrogance lies!

  But Wei Gang was not afraid of them going to report to Xu Fuyan, as long as he insisted that nothing had happened, or even counter-accused, wouldn't Xu Fuyan still be half-believing and half-doubting, with no way to do anything?

  A war of words is the origin of many conflicts in the world, but ultimately cannot be used as a lethal weapon for punishment.

  "Go back and tell your mother Ding Mei that the agricultural machinery factory will soon be persuading people to retire on a large scale, she is also old, and has time to think about the future!"

  The middle-aged man forgot the scene where he was scared to pee and fart just now, and clicked his tongue: "Ding's business is not bad, originally still had hope to stay in the factory, but this time it's all ruined, what a pity!"

  At this time, most state-owned enterprise employees were still dreaming of an iron rice bowl, trying their best to keep the quota for staying in the factory, but they didn't know that in the next few years, how many enterprises would be closed nationwide and how many personnel would be laid off. The broken place of the agricultural machinery factory had long been ignored by Wen Xiang, but Wei Gang's words finally irritated him.

  Ding Mei scolded Wei Gang for being despicable and having a low character, indeed she has a discerning eye!

  Wen Qian smiled and picked up a cup of soy milk from the table next to her, pouring it all over Wei Gang's face under everyone's disbelieving gaze. Li Shengli was stunned, Zhao Jianguo was dumbfounded, even the eloquent middle-aged sycophant was shocked into opening his mouth, unable to close it for half a day, not to mention the ordinary employees who were watching the commotion, their minds suddenly going blank.

  What kind of person is Wei Gang? A 32-year-old deputy department-level official, the deputy factory director in charge of the agricultural machinery plant, a fixed candidate for the permanent deputy director of the Light Industry Bureau, and a reserve cadre deeply favored by Zhou Yuanting. A bright political star in Qingzhou! And what about Wen Ze? He's just a student from Class 3, Grade 1 of Qingzhou No. 1 High School, who can't even get into the class committee, yet he splashed a whole face of soy milk on Wei Gang under everyone's watchful eyes!

  Along with the soy milk came an even more shocking declaration: "In a month, I'll make sure you can't go to the Light Industry Bureau, and you'll lose your position as factory director! Remember, in a month!"

  These words are still intimidating, but they are extremely realistic!

  "Ah, unexpectedly, the book has been on the charts for a month. After surpassing all the senior NB authors who came before me, it stayed at number one on the new book chart for four days. I'm extremely relieved, covering my face and crying tears of joy, not knowing what to say! This is all thanks to the support of all my brothers, sisters, friends, and high-ranking friends, whether it's through clicks, votes, rewards, or collections. I'm deeply grateful!"
