Looking at the lost letter, Li Cong looked at the familiar handwriting in his hand again. Li Cong recalled the bits and pieces of the past. Those were all beautiful memories, but what was the use now? Perhaps the second half of the letter would explain why they broke up, but would that be useful? The result was already like this. Was there any use in asking for a reason?
Li Cong comforted himself, but deep down, only he knew that Wei Qihua was the person he loved the most in this life. In the future, she would bury this love in the deepest part of her heart. As for the Wei family, although they had persuaded Wei Qihua to break up with her at that time, she did not want to see him deal with her family. She would save her energy and use it on her own company.
Thinking of this, Li Cong looked at the watch on his hand. It was a real piano. At that time, Wei Qihua didn't spend a single cent to buy this watch for him. He worked in the restaurant for three months. The joy when he gave it to him seemed to still be in front of him. Unfortunately, everything was gone.
Just as Li Cong was sighing, Grandpa Wei appeared again."I saw that the letter was gone. I thought I should tell you about your current situation.”Without waiting for her to finish, Li Cong waved his hand and looked up. There was no determination in his eyes that an entrepreneur should have, but a very complicated gaze. "There's no need to say anything else. I don't want to know anything about her. In the future, I'll mind my own business with you. I'll let go of everything. Tell your descendants not to bother me, or don't blame me for being rude.”As Li Cong spoke, he took out his checkbook." This is 50 million, not compensation for your losses. This is for Wei Qihua. Tell her that we are no longer lovers, but I treat her as my own family. This money is for her to save for emergencies. I know she has a bad temper and likes to cause trouble. Just treat it as insurance I bought for her. Goodbye."”After saying that, Li Cong got into the car and left without waiting for Grandpa Wei to speak.
Grandpa Wei felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Everything was up to fate. A hundred years of cultivation on the same boat, a thousand years of cultivation on the same pillow.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed. Li Cong was still unable to walk out of that strange circle. He still did not understand the matter of relationships. He did not even understand who Zhou Xue was to him. However, he knew that every time he was in pain, Zhou Xue would gently hug him in her arms, like a mother hugging her child. Therefore, after another warm moment, Li Cong officially proposed to his family that he wanted to get married.
Everyone in the family liked Zhou Xue very much, especially his grandmother. She was closer to him than his own granddaughter. According to Li Cong's wishes, they had to do it quickly. Unfortunately, the grandmother's thinking was old-fashioned. She could not get married in her natal year, so her words blocked Li Cong's road to marriage. However, if she did not get married, she could get engaged. Just as Li Cong was packing his things and preparing to visit Zhou Xue's house, the batch of machines he ordered arrived at the same time. There were 30 machines from the Zhongyuan Machinery Factory and five machines from the Northeast China Machinery Factory. There were hundreds of technicians who came to install the equipment. Li Cong was so busy that his feet were up in the air. Although Zhou Xue wanted to settle down, she did not care when she saw how busy the factory was.
In all honesty, Chief Zhao was doing everything for his own promotion and his own political achievements. However, compared to other officials, Chief Zhao was really a good chief who worked for his boss. As soon as Li Cong's machine arrived, he arrived. He took great care of him, and he had to return the favor. Li Cong hurried back from the construction site to receive Chief Zhao. However, Chief Zhao had the capital to brag to his descendants for a long time. He was the only county-level chief received by Mr. Li Cong, the head of the board of directors of the Energy Group.
"Hehe, Chief Zhao, you're really well-informed. Let's not talk about your purpose of coming here first. Let me guess, you must be here for the few thousand employment quotas, right?”Li Cong said with a smile as he poured some water for Chief Zhao.
"Look at how you're treating me like an outsider. Didn't I tell you to call me brother? You're still teasing me when you're here. I'm just a laborer. Everyone in the city knows that you're a big employer here. They can't wait for tens of thousands of people to stare at your few thousand slots. I see that you've already pulled in this machine. When are you going to put it into production?”He was not asking when production would start. He was clearly asking when he would start hiring.
"Hehe, Chief Zhao, don't worry about this. The installation of the machines here will be completed within this week. I will start hiring at our company's office in Féi City at the latest next week. I will have to trouble Chief Zhao then. But I have to say this first. No matter who introduced him, as long as he doesn't look like he's working, I will immediately ask him to leave. Everything has to go through the first two tests.”Li Cong was used to telling the bad side of everything he did.
"Hehe, that's not a problem, but I still have something to do. My father might be on a southern tour with the chief next month. If you're free, I think you can go and meet my father. Don't be in a hurry to decline. My father's level is the same as President Liu and President Wang's, but they have different systems.”It was another bombshell. The two CEOs were still waiting for his reply, and here came another one. Li Cong did not want to choose who he should rely on when he was developing. After all, it was not the time to compete with these old guys.
"Today, I'm going to climb up to your level and call you 'brother'. To be honest, I don't want to have too much contact with these higher-ups now. I know what I'm made of. I just have some money in my hands. Your father's generation belongs to the real higher-ups of China. The difference between me and them is not just one or two problems.”Li Cong politely declined.
"Brother Li's backbone is really commendable. You know what you can do in China without official support is completely different. How can central enterprises be so prosperous and even monopolize in various industries? After the reform and opening up, there were tens of millions of businessmen in the country. Which one of them didn't cut their heads to get close to the officials? Many businessmen who were not as good as you would spend their money just to get some connections with the higher-ups. Although he had lost a lot of his investment, as the officials who invested in him rose all the way up, he had gained more than a hundred times the profits.”Chief Zhao said earnestly, perhaps lamenting that there were too few people like Li Cong in this society.
"Brother Zhao, you really think too highly of me. I'm not as noble as you say. Let's not talk about this.”Li Cong wanted to change the topic, but Chief Zhao seemed determined to win.
"Younger brother, you can not meet my father, but I think you will definitely meet my uncle after I tell you his background.”Chief Zhao was very confident.
"Oh? How could there be such a thing? Brother Zhao, why are you so sure that I want to meet your uncle?”
"Hehe, my uncle is the boss of the Wei family's boss, the boss of the Shandong region of the National Security Bureau. Once you meet my uncle, you can go up to the heavens to listen to him. However, the downside is that you have to be tied to Zheng Yi. In fact, a businessman like you is not an ordinary businessman. Zheng Yi has been paying attention to you for a long time. There are at least four agents of the National Security Bureau watching you. Don't be anxious, and don't think about getting rid of them. That's impossible. The leaders want to lock you in a safe. However, even if you hadn't gone overboard yet, they still had to monitor you from all angles. They could only be at ease when they knew the scale of your development. Once you exceeded their control, you should rest.”This was the first time Li Cong had heard of this. In the past, he thought that the National Security Bureau was just catching a spy or something. This time, he had really opened his eyes. From what the Wei family's boss had done to him, there was no secret in the National Security Bureau. It was not a bad thing for him to rely on them in the future. Anyway, it was better to spy on him in the dark than in the open. He even felt that he was sincere to the country.
"So I've always been watched. Brother Zhao, let me think about this. After all, it's not a trivial matter. But I can tell you with certainty that if I want to meet the higher-ups, I'll choose you first.”This was not a promise. This was all Li Cong could give to Chief Zhao. Chief Zhao understood that this was the biggest promise Li Cong could give him. It would not be good to be anxious. The task given to him by his family was to win him over if he could. Even if he could not, he had to maintain a good relationship.
After Chief Zhao left, Li Cong went back to his room and thought about many things. Should he take a softer path of development and cooperate with the country? After all, Chief Zhao was telling the truth. It was completely different to have the support of the country and not to have it. Hu Xueyan, a businessman from the Red Top in the late Qing Dynasty, was a successful person who was widely spread among businessmen. This was different from his original intention. What he wanted was to become the world's number one person, the richest and most powerful person. It was impossible to cooperate with a country. It was really contradictory. After thinking for a long time, Li Cong decided to temporarily rely on the country. After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
On the fourth day after Chief Zhao and Li Cong met, a large-scale recruitment began. In total, they needed 3,000 workers of various types, 400 salesmen, and hundreds of government officials. The number of people hired by a unit was almost the same as the number of people hired by a large-scale recruitment fair. It was like a spring thunder in the county city. Countless people rushed to the Energy Group's office in the city. The treatment was almost comparable to that of civil servants. Why not go? Moreover, the locals had a preferential admission policy. What made Li Cong a little unhappy was that although this was all his credit, the newspapers did not mention a word about it. They were all praising the achievements of the municipal government. However, he did not need these things. He should leave such a good reputation to the government. They needed this.
