It was quiet for a moment, but the workers still didn't trust Boss Dai and asked one after another: "Are you serious? Are you really going to pay wages today?"
"Really, all the wages owed to everyone today will be paid at once."
To show his integrity, Boss Dai took out his mobile phone on the spot, called the person in charge of the finance department, and went to withdraw the money. After hanging up the phone, he said: "Everyone has heard that the finance department has gone to withdraw the money. I will wait until I get back." Distribute the money! So don¡¯t gather here, go back to your respective jobs, and it will be distributed to each of you in the workshop."
But despite this, some people still have doubts in their hearts: "How do we know if this is a delaying tactic? When the time comes, you will send us away, but you will run away. Where will we find you?"
"Don't worry, everyone, I can still get this little money. Besides, even if I really can't get the money, I have invested billions in this place. If I can run away, can the factory run away?" Boss Dai added: "If everyone doesn't trust me, that's fine. Why don't everyone line up in the office building and guard the door? I don't know the invisibility technique, and I can't fly and escape. Can I run away?" "
"Everyone thinks about it. The worst thing is that this factory with an investment of billions of yuan is still here.
¡°Besides, the police have been alerted now. If the riot continues, there may not be any good results.
"What should we do with the injured brothers?" another worker asked.
"They were not seriously injured. I will pay for their medical expenses when they are sent to the hospital, and they will receive an extra month's salary." Boss Dai said: "I will not lose money to the workers who work for me. But now the factory does face some difficulties. , As you all know, the work has been suspended for a long time, but don¡¯t worry, the factory will resume operation soon, and we have overcome the difficulty!¡±
Seeing that Boss Dai handled the situation properly, many workers agreed and followed Boss Dai out of the factory, lining up under the office building to wait for their wages.
As for the injured who were knocked down by Chen Zhengyin¡¯s acupuncture points and injured by the riot police, they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
Before the ambulance arrived, Chen Zheng also gave them some first aid. In fact, none of them were serious. Those who fainted after being pricked by Chen Zhengyin's needles only woke up after being stimulated by Chen Zheng's massage for a moment. As for those injured by the riot police, they were all skin injuries. .
After waiting until the ambulance arrived to send these people away, Chen Zheng returned to Hu Xuefei's side.
There is another person beside Hu Xuefei, and that is Fang Zhengxiong, the commander of the riot police just now.
At this time, numerous riot police officers had also withdrawn from the factory. Went to the office building of Chenxi Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Co., Ltd. to maintain order to prevent another riot. But this Fang Zhengxiong obviously has more important things to do.
"Xue Fei, today is really dangerous. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Fang Zhengxiong took all the credit on himself and said, "Xue Fei, today is your birthday. I have made arrangements. Let¡¯s celebrate together tonight.¡±
Chen Zheng suddenly remembered. Today is actually Hu Xuefei¡¯s birthday.
Chen Zheng originally knew Hu Xuefei¡¯s birthday, and even knew the time of her birth. However, the Gregorian calendar used now needs to be converted from the Jiazi calendar used by Chen Zheng. If you don¡¯t calculate it specially, it is often easy to overlook the past.
This time, Chen Zheng did neglect something.
Chen Zheng was still thinking about it. Hu Xuefei refused Fang Zhengxiong's invitation: "You showed up here today. Although you didn't help much, I still want to thank you. But I am not free tonight. I have an appointment."
"Did you date someone? Who did you date?" Fang Zhengxiong asked.
"He." Hu Xuefei pointed at Chen Zheng.
From the simple conversation between Hu Xuefei and Fang Zhengxiong just now. Chen Zheng heard some basic information, that is, the young police officer Guan Zhengxiong must be Hu Xuefei's suitor, but Hu Xuefei was not very interested in him.
" Take a closer look at this Fang Zhengxiong. He has a decent appearance, and can even be said to be a talented person. But just by his looks, he is narrow-minded. He might even get angry at himself because of this.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Zheng thought of this, Fang Zhengxiong cast a pair of vicious eyes over him, with a disdainful smile on his lips, as if to say: Compete with me for women? I will definitely make your death ugly.
Fang Zhengxiong turned around and asked Hu Xuefei: "He? Who is he?"
"I forgot to introduce to you, this Chen Zheng is a very good friend of mine. This Fang Zhengxiong is now the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Haigang City. His father and my father were comrades in arms when we went to the countryside together. His mother and my mother,??We were classmates in college, so"
Hu Xuefei hesitated to speak, but Chen Zheng still heard the underlying meaning.
It seems that this Fang Zhengxiong, like Hu Xuefei, is a son of an aristocratic family with a strong background.
It can be seen from this that Fang Zhengxiong, who came to Haigang City as the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, will probably go through the motions at the grassroots level and will soon be promoted to a high position in the future.
Fang Zhengxiong pursued Hu Xuefei, but Hu Xuefei didn't like him, but because of the reputation of the two family friends, she couldn't refuse too much, so she always treated Fang Zhengxiong coldly and indifferently.
The sense of superiority of being a child of an aristocratic family made Fang Zhengxiong not take Chen Zheng into his heart at all. He raised his eyebrows with disdain and said, "Chen Zheng? Where can you find a high position?"
"It's not a high-level job," Chen Zheng pretended to be modest: "Speaking of it, I don't have any fixed job."
"So he's a vagrant?" Fang Zhengxiong was even happier: "Xue Fei, someone like him is not suitable for you."
"It's up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not?" Hu Xuefei did not give Fang Zhengxiong a good look: "Besides, Chen Zheng is not a vagrant, he is a Chinese medicine practitioner, a very powerful Chinese medicine practitioner."
"Chinese medicine? Can Chinese medicine make money these days?" Fang Zhengxiong smiled and asked, "I wonder which hospital you are in, Chen Zheng?"
"I don't work in the hospital," Chen Zheng didn't get angry. He just replied with a smile: "Although I understand Chinese medicine, I don't make a career out of it. I just do a small business in my free time."
"It turns out he is a businessman. No wonder he appears here. He must be trying to do something speculative with Boss Dai here, right? I advise you to be careful. This is my territory in Haigang City, and I will keep a close eye on it. your!"
Fang Zhengxiong's tone was quite threatening, but Chen Zheng just shrugged and said nothing.
It turns out that this kid is still a soft persimmon, it¡¯s just that he has no strength, but he is also so lacking in courage. Nothing to fear at all.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengxiong's confidence greatly increased, and he said to Xue Fei: "Xue Fei, he is really not a good fit for you. You should have dinner with me tonight."
"I'm sorry, I thought I made it very clear, but you still didn't understand, so I'll tell you again: first, who is suitable for me and who is not. You don't need to worry about it; second, please I¡¯m having dinner. I thank you, but I¡¯ve got an appointment!¡±
"It's just that I'm not the only one celebrating your birthday today, Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu are also waiting for you." Fang Zhengxiong threw out his trump card.
Hu Xuefei was stunned: "You mean my parents also came to Haigang City?"
"Yes, today is your birthday. Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu took a flight in the morning and arrived in Haigang City at noon. I have been looking for you since then. Now I finally found you and we can have dinner together in the evening. Xuefei, it doesn't matter if you ignore me. , but we can¡¯t let my uncle and aunt come all the way here and not see you, right?¡±
This is indeed true. Hu Xuefei thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to go to dinner. But I have an appointment first, so I have to take Chen Zheng with me."
Hu Xuefei thought that her parents had only heard her grandfather talk about this person before, but had no chance to meet him. Today, through this opportunity, I can introduce Chen Zheng to them.
What's more, this Fang Zhengxiong always regards himself as his prospective boyfriend and takes Chen Zheng with him. The intimacy he shows with Chen Zheng is equivalent to taking him to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Fang Zhengxiong felt something was wrong, frowned and said, "We are eating as a family, and you are bringing an outsider with you. Doesn't this seem inappropriate?"
"Who is your family? To me, you are an outsider!" Hu Xuefei said in a strong tone: "Today is my meeting with my parents. If you want to go, just go, otherwise I will take my parents home to eat."
"Okay, okay, let's go together, let's go together." Fang Zhengxiong reluctantly gave in.
But after I finished speaking, I was still thinking that this was not bad. Judging from the few conversations I had just had with him, this Chen Zheng's character should be relatively cowardly, not to mention his own identity. I didn't even dare to compete with myself for a woman.
¡°If he really has the guts to live and die, I can give him something to look good on the spot and embarrass him.
While thinking about it, he already had a specific solution.
¡¡
Hu Xuefei has a car, Fang Zhengxiong has a car, and Chen Zheng also has a car. It was specially rented by Bai Rou to transport Chen Zheng around in Haigang City these days.
It¡¯s just that Chen Zheng is relatively simple, and what he rented is just an ordinary car, which is not as good as Fang Zhengxiong¡¯s famous brand sports car. This makes Fang Zhengxiong secretly feel happy, feeling that this love rivalHe was 100% sure of winning the competition.
Soon, a group of three cars arrived at the hotel Fang Zhengxiong had booked, the best and most upscale five-star place in Haigang City - Jiuzhou International Hotel.
Downstairs of the hotel, Chen Zheng got out of the car alone. He did not let Bai Rou go with him, but asked her to wait in the car.
Going upstairs, Hu Xuefei¡¯s parents had arrived at the box in advance and were waiting for Hu Xuefei.
After meeting, Hu Xuefei gave priority to introducing Chen Zheng to them.
Hu Xuefei¡¯s parents were in high positions and naturally had an indescribable dignity about them, but they also treated Chen Zheng with enthusiasm. After all, they all knew that Hu Xuefei¡¯s grandfather¡¯s illness was originally a terminal illness, and it was Chen Zheng who cured him.
¡°And the old man told them more than once that Chen Zheng was a rare young talent and he wanted to bring him and Hu Xuefei together.
Hu Xuefei¡¯s parents did not refuse, but frankly speaking, they still felt that a Chinese medicine practitioner, no matter how powerful, was not suitable for Hu Xuefei.
In their opinion, Fang Zhengxiong may be the best candidate. At least such a combination of two families is a perfect match, and it will have many benefits for both of them in their future careers.
"Xiao Chen, come here, sit down. You cured my father. I haven't expressed my gratitude to you in person. Today is Xue Fei's birthday. It's rare for us to invite you to our family gathering. "Sit down, sit down," Hu Xuefei's father said.
Judging from the seat where Father Hu greeted Chen Zheng, he was sitting on Father Hu's left hand side.
To the right of Father Hu is seated the mother of Hu, and to the right of Mother Hu are two empty chairs, obviously reserved for Hu Xuefei and Fang Zhengxiong.
This way of arranging seats clearly shows that Fang Zhengxiong is regarded as one of his own. And treat Chen Zheng as a guest.
Chen Zheng didn't say anything, he just sat down quietly, Fang Zhengxiong was secretly happy.
Hu Xuefei also didn't say a word, just walked to her seat silently, but she didn't sit down, but raised the chair, moved it 180 degrees, and moved it to Chen Zheng's side. , sat on it.
Although silent. But Hu Xuefei's attitude has been made clear.
Even Father Hu had no choice but to look at Fang Zhengxiong. He shrugged rather helplessly.
Fang Zhengxiong felt that his self-esteem as a man had been severely hit, and he must find a way to regain his face.
"Waiter, serve the food!" Fang Zhengxiong, sitting alone on one side, yelled angrily, but when he turned around to face Hu Xuefei's father, his face looked like a poker card turned upside down again, with an apologetic smile on his face: " Uncle, I have ordered the dishes in advance. They are all the signature dishes here. It is a rare time for uncle and aunt to come here, so I have to try them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhengxiong looked like he suddenly understood: "Wine, yes, I forgot to order wine. White or red? Just go with red. Xue Fei doesn't like white wine very well."
Fang Zhengxiong was murmuring to himself on the surface, and then greeted: "Waiter, a bottle of lafite, it must be 1982."
After finishing speaking. Turning to face Chen Zheng: "This 1982 lafite is extraordinary. It is world-renowned. I drink it often and can introduce it to you. The taste can be said to be fragrant and fragrant, with extremely rich layers. It can be said to be unique. It is the most valuable among Bordeaux red wines. "Mr. Chen, I wonder if you have had it before? If not, you must drink two more cups today."
"What are you doing with this wine?" Chen Zheng's bird singing skills were indeed limited, but he seemed to be familiar with it.
"It's Lafite. I don't know how to drink. I just drink boiled water." After Hu Xuefei said that, she lowered her voice and said to Chen Zheng: "You don't need to pay attention to him. He is just showing off. It's disgusting. I really don't know my parents." How could you fall in love with someone like him?"
Chen Zheng also felt the same way. He probably was interested in family background rather than the person. Such a marriage between two families is equivalent to forming an alliance, and both parties have great benefits.
Chen Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
"Mr. Chen, why are you laughing?" Fang Zhengxiong's purpose was to make Chen Zheng look embarrassed, and the topics of conversation would naturally come endlessly.
"I laughed because I suddenly remembered a piece of news," Chen Zheng said: "I just saw it two days ago. It seemed to say that there are a lot of fake Lafite wines in China. The output of other wineries in ten years is less than that of China in one year. Sales volume, not to mention that everyone wants 1982, so why are there so many 1982?
"Uh" Fang Zhengxiong was only thinking about how to show off, but he didn't expect Chen Zheng to say these things suddenly. He couldn't answer because he was not prepared.
¡°I seem to have seen a piece of news some time ago,?It is said that just because there are so many counterfeit wines in China, many people no longer drink Lafite when showing off their wealth, but instead use Lafite to wash their feet. Do you think it is ridiculous or not? "
Chen Zheng¡¯s words were clearly mocking Fang Zhengxiong for showing off his wealth in a low-level way, but it just made Fang Zhengxiong not know what to say.
After thinking for a long time, Fang Zhengxiong turned around and asked the waiter: "You are a five-star hotel here, don't you have a real Lafite?"
In fact, there is none, and all of them are fake. Not only this Jiuzhou International Hotel, but in fact this is the case in most areas in China.
If there was only Fang Zhengxiong, maybe the waiter would insist that it was real wine, because it is expected that the second generation of rich people who show off their wealth would not be able to tell the difference between true and false. However, it was Chen Zheng who made him a little confused. Maybe they really understand it.
So he pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our hotel doesn't have the 1982 Lafite."
Fang Zhengxiong secretly lamented that it was a pity, because he could not use a single sentence of the wine reviews about Lafite that he had memorized in advance from magazines.
"Thenthenthen let's have a bottle of fine Chardonnay wine." Fang Zhengxiong suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen this name in a magazine, and then showed it to Chen Zheng and said: " This Chardonnay red wine is also very famous"
But seeing Chen Zheng still smiling, Fang Zhengxiong couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at again?"
Chen Zheng shrugged: "Wine may not all be red. It depends on the color of the grapes. Red wine is made from red grapes, and white wine is made from white grapes. And this Chardonnay The grapes are white grapes, so if you don¡¯t add coloring matter, you won¡¯t be able to make red wine.¡±
Hu Xuefei couldn't help it anymore and finally burst out laughing.
At the same time, Hu Xuefei also felt strange. Chen Zheng never seemed interested in these things. How did he know?
In fact, it was a coincidence that Chen Zheng went to Africa for a year and opened five oil fields and three diamond mines. Naturally, it was inevitable that he was related to many political figures.
Generals from several regions or heads of state have hosted banquets for Chen Zheng. Especially when he was in Central Africa, the president of that country treated Chen Zheng like a distinguished guest.
??Central Africa was originally a French colony, so many people in the upper class of the country still have the habit of tasting red wine.
Every time Chen Zheng is invited to a banquet, there must be famous wine. Chen Zheng can't remember it, but Anna, who happens to be the translator next to Chen Zheng, is also someone who understands wine, so she can explain it to Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng didn¡¯t want to keep these things in his mind, just because the trip to Africa had just ended and he hadn¡¯t forgotten it yet.
