Chapter 816 Don't Worry, I'm Here

When the three minutes were up, Fan Xinhua accepted A Bao's plan. Although his position as factory director would certainly be lost, at least he would not have to go to jail. Otherwise, more than 700,000 T-shirts would become worthless waste, causing major collective property losses, and he would have to spend the rest of his life in jail.

For A Bao, with Fan Xinhua's 700,000 T-shirts, Sanyang's inventory would be sufficient. They were originally identical products, and they could be put on the market for sale as long as they were repackaged and replaced with Sanyang labels.

The only one who was unhappy was Boss Ma from Zhuji, because he should have earned the money from the more than 700,000 T-shirts.

A Bao walked to Boss Ma with a glass of wine, put his arm around his shoulder and said proudly.

"Boss Ma, don't worry. Sanyang's future shipments will definitely not be as simple as hundreds of thousands of T-shirts. Now that Sanyang has become famous, I will also make Sanyang jeans, Sanyang shirts, and Sanyang suits."

"There will be so many orders in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them."

Boss Ma's unhappiness was swept away when he heard this, and he immediately drank three cups with A Bao.

Since it was a celebration banquet, rewards were naturally indispensable. Qin Hao and A Bao each took out 500,000 to buy a large number of prizes. Whether it was suppliers, employees, or management, they could participate in the lottery.

Whenever someone won the first prize and took away a 21-inch color TV, the exclamations on the scene attracted the attention of passers-by.

A waiter at Jin Meilin saw this scene, and his eyes were almost full of envy.

"Xiao Jiangxi, stop looking, hurry up and serve the food."

"Oh."

The next day, in the alley next to the grocery store, while the restaurant was not open yet, the waiters of various restaurants hid inside to take a break.

"Hey, Minmin, do you think we have a future as waiters in this restaurant? Every day we either carry plates and serve dishes or take orders and pour wine. Customers finally give us a tip, and we have to be careful for fear of being seen by the foreman manager."

Minmin, who has a plump figure, said while drinking soda: "Then what else do you want to do? Although being a waiter is a bit tiring, you can still learn a lot. Look at our manager Pan. I heard that the boss lady spent a lot of money to poach her. If I can have one tenth of Manager Pan's ability, I will definitely get a high salary in the future."

Ruth, the foreman of the Honglu Restaurant, also advised Xiao Jiangxi: "How long have you been here on Huanghe Road, and you say there is no future? There are many boss ladies here. We all started out as waiters. "

Xiao Jiangxi was unwilling: "How long will it take, five years or ten years? I think it's better to go to Vientiane Plaza as a salesperson. You didn't see the celebration banquet last night. Many ordinary salespeople won imported color TVs, which is equivalent to several months of our salary."

Minmin also showed envy in her eyes when she heard it: "Really? This Mr. Qin is too generous, right?"

"The sales in Vientiane Plaza are good, with high salaries and good benefits, but you don't have to think about it. The requirements are also high. At least you have to graduate from high school. Sales of some foreign brands also need to know the corresponding foreign languages. "

Ruth's words were a heavy blow to the two fellow villagers.

"Stop chatting, it's time to go to work."

A group of waiters scattered, and soon the alley returned to peace again.

However, the grand occasion of the celebration banquet last night was still spread through the mouths of these waiters, and it became a topic of conversation for customers at the Huanghe Road Hotel after dinner.

"I'd like to say that in Shanghai, the one who has the final say is Mr. Qin. That Mr. Li made such a big fuss, but what happened? It still ended in failure."

"I've said it a long time ago, as long as Vientiane Plaza doesn't collapse, Mr. Qin will be invincible. Not to mention one Mr. Li, even ten or eight of them combined are no match."

"That's right, look at how popular the Three Sheep brand is now? Isn't it promoted by Vientiane Plaza? Mr. Bao is so lucky to have a friend like Mr. Qin in his lifetime."

At Zhizhenyuan Hotel, Li Li listened to the discussions of the customers, her face still cold. She was actually prepared for such an ending, but she didn't expect Mr. Li to fail so quickly. She thought that with the support of those people, Mr. Li would be able to hold on for a while, at least to hit Qin Hao's reputation in the Shanghai business circle.

"Manager Pan, how is the turnover this month?"

Faced with Li Li's inquiry, Manager Pan's face was a little ugly: "The turnover this month is less than 800,000."

A restaurant has a turnover of 800,000 a month, which is close to 10 million a year. According to the restaurant's 30% gross profit, it is a profit of 5 million a year. Moreover, a high-end restaurant like Zhizhenyuan must have more than this profit. The annual income is already considerable.

But you have to know that before Zhizhenyuan offended Qin Hao, the daily turnover was 80,000 yuan, which is 2.4 million a month.

Li Li also frowned when he heard this: "Business is so bad?"

Manager Pan reminded: "It has been much worse in recent days. Boss Li's previous friends have never come since he got into trouble. I'm afraid if it goes on like this."

"Okay, I know." Li Li turned around and walked straight to the kitchen.

With fewer customers in front, the kitchen was naturally idle, but when they saw Li Li coming, they immediately pretended to be busy, for fear that one of them would make the boss's wife unhappy and be killed.

However, after Li Li came to the kitchen, he ignored the employees, just glanced at Mr. An, and then walked towards the employee passage at the back.

Mr. An took off his chef's hat, motioned to the chef to help him keep an eye on it, and then followed him.

"Is the situation very bad?" Mr. An asked with a frown when he saw that Li Li had already started smoking.

Li Li exhaled a puff of smoke: "Did you see it?"

"Whether a restaurant's business is good or not can be determined by looking at the kitchen." Mr. An paused and said, "Would you like me to talk to Mr. Qin? He shouldn't be a stingy person."

"If it was something else, there might be room for maneuver. He won't forgive me this time." Li Li interrupted directly.

"Then what are your plans?"

"After the New Year, Qiang Mujie will come to Shanghai."

Mr. An shook his head: "Qiang Mujie can't beat Mr. Qin."

"Qiang Mujie may not be his opponent on his own, but this time he will not fight alone."

Mr. An sighed softly, said nothing, reached out to take the unfinished cigarette butt in Li Li's hand, and took a deep puff: "When Qiang Mujie comes, arrange for me to meet him."

After saying that, Mr. An put out his cigarette butt, turned around and walked back.

"Okay." A flash of joy flashed in Li Li's eyes. She knew that maybe the high-spirited Mr. A was coming back.

On January 15, 1993, a new list of Shanghai famous brands was released, and Sanyang brand was on the list. The US$10 million order in Abao's hand could obtain additional export quotas, which also meant that Miss Wang was far away from science and technology. The long seat is just a stone's throw away.

On this day, Miss Wang came to No. 27 on the Bund as usual.

"Good morning, Xiao Wang, do you have breakfast? I have the soup dumplings I just bought here. They are still hot. Do you want some?"

"Xiao Wang, are you thirsty? I have some new milk here today. How do you like it? If it tastes good, I will bring it to you tomorrow."

Miss Wang was confused. Ever since it was rumored that she was going to be the section chief, these colleagues had either kept a distance from her or made sarcastic remarks to her. Why did she suddenly change her gender today?

Just when Ms. Wang's head was full of questions, she was called to the office by Section Chief Jin.

Everyone looked at Miss Wang's back and started talking about it.

"Hey, do you think Miss Wang will be appointed section chief soon?"

"That's right. After receiving these ten million US dollars in performance, who can say anything?"

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. Who wants someone with a strong background? If I had such a fiancé, I would be number one in performance."

"Tsk, tsk, if I had a fiancé like this, I would have gone home and become a rich wife, so I wouldn't be here fighting for a section chief position with these miserable sisters."

"That's true. Mr. Qin has so much wealth that he can't spend it all. I don't know what Xiao Wang is thinking. If he doesn't get married quickly, he will be tied up."

"Maybe he is addicted to officialdom?"

Mei Ping listened to the discussion of her colleagues and took a deep look in the direction of Section Chief Jin's office. The fingers hidden in her sleeves turned pale when pinched.

Not long after, Miss Wang came out of Section Chief Jin's office with a faint smile on her face.

Just now in the office, Section Chief Jin revealed that her superiors had talked to her and asked her to report to her new position as soon as possible. In other words, the countdown to her time as Section Chief of Bund 27 had begun.

Just as Ms. Wang was happily waiting for the organization to announce that she would take over as section chief, three days later, she was indeed called up by the organization department as she wished.

However, when the people from the organization department opened their mouths, Ms. Wang was dumbfounded.

"We received a report that you took advantage of your position to accept bribes."

After Miss Wang was stunned, her face was full of dissatisfaction: "You must have evidence when you speak. When did I accept a bribe?"

"If there is no conclusive evidence, we will not invite you here. I hope you understand that when dealing with comrades, the organization has always adhered to the attitude of learning from past mistakes and avoiding future mistakes, and treating illnesses and saving lives. But if you persist in resisting, it will be an additional penalty. "

Miss Wang was so angry that she slammed the table: "Let me say it again, I, Wang Mingzhu, have never accepted a bribe. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate."

"Comrade Wang Mingzhu, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame us for being ungrateful. Don't you want evidence?" After speaking, the director of the Organization Department threw a document on the table.

Ms. Wang took it over and took a look. She didn't recognize the handwriting on it, but the contents inside made her feel familiar, especially some of the items recorded inside.

"Huh, do you remember now?"

Seeing Ms. Wang's face changed drastically, the organization department officials believed the contents of the report materials even more.

"It's Mei Ping, right? She reported me!"

Miss Wang's eyes turned red. The bribes she had received in the document were actually souvenirs that A Bao had brought to her and Qin Hao during their business trips over the years. The span was so wide that she could not even remember it. 27 on the Bund No., she only told one person, and that was Mei Ping.

"Don't worry about who it is, what you have to do now is to take the initiative to explain the problem!"

After a stalemate, seeing that Ms. Wang remained silent, the two officers had no choice but to let her go back first.

When Ms. Wang returned to her work station, the colleagues around her gave her strange looks. At this moment, she saw Mei Ping standing in the crowd, and she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

"It was you, you reported me to the Organization Department for taking bribes, right?"

Facing Miss Wang's questioning, Mei Ping pretended to be weak, helpless and pitiful, and tried to shrink behind her colleague, but Miss Wang grabbed her wrist.

"It's not me, I didn't."

Miss Wang gritted her teeth and said, "It's you! I only shared the souvenirs that Abao gave me with you. Why? I treat you as a friend, but you deliberately framed me behind my back?"

"I didn't frame you. You did accept the gift from Mr. Bao."

Mei Ping's eyes flashed with pride. Over the years, she has recorded every gift that Abao gave to Miss Wang. When, what style, how much, all recorded clearly, just for today.

"You still say it's not you."

Miss Wang was so angry that she pushed Mei Ping away. The latter pretended to be weak and fell to the ground. Seeing this, colleagues hurriedly separated the two of them, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Enough, what's the mess? Come in."

Section Chief Jin glared at Miss Wang.

"Master, you know I didn't accept bribes!"

However, Section Chief Jin just turned around and entered the office.

After get off work in the afternoon, Miss Wang walked out of the Foreign Trade Building in a daze. Just when she stumbled and almost fell, she was picked up by a pair of strong arms.

"Ah Hao, why are you here?"

Qin Hao pinched her pale cheeks and complained: "You didn't call me when something happened. My fiancé has no sense of existence, right?"

Miss Wang suddenly had an urge to cry, and tears filled her eyes.

"Let's go, go back first, and talk about it tomorrow."

After returning home, Miss Wang was still a little confused. She had worked hard for four years just to become a golden flower like her master at the Bund No. 27. She was about to achieve it, but she failed at the last minute. It seemed that her life had lost its goal.

Looking at Qin Hao busy in the kitchen, Miss Wang suddenly remembered some words from her colleagues who persuaded her to be a rich wife at home, and she was confused for a while.

At the table, Miss Wang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I don't want to go to work anymore."

Qin Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and said softly.

"I told you that if you get tired of work one day, you can go home at any time, but not now."

"Why not now?"

"The Miss Wang I know is a professional woman who is determined to become a golden flower at No. 27, The Bund, not a coward who is afraid of a little setback."

Miss Wang's tears are like pearls that have broken off the string, dripping into the bowl.

"But they said that I took bribes, and the souvenirs that Abao gave me were all stolen goods from bribes."

"If they say it's bribes, then it's bribes? Don't worry, I'm here, and I will never let you suffer any grievances."

Miss Wang looked at the confident Qin Hao and was confused for a while. Can this kind of thing really be explained? After all, she really accepted Abao's souvenirs, and Mei Ping recorded them all. Even if Abao can come forward to testify, the organization will not believe it, right?

But Qin Hao never seemed to break his promise.

"Do you really have a solution?"

"Of course."

Miss Wang felt better when she saw Qin Hao's confident look. She was about to lower her head to eat, but was stopped by Qin Hao.

"This bowl of rice is too salty. I'll change it for you."

Miss Wang blushed and angrily gave Qin Hao a cold look.
