After Chen Zhen returned, he boiled water and subconsciously put his hand on the radiator to feel the temperature. Since the boiler room changed the equation, the temperature in the past few days has become higher than before.
The kitchen in the morning is always the coldest place in the house. Chen Zhen baked a few steamed bun slices and made two bowls of egg custard.
"How about I go out and work, it's better than staying at home!"
Zhang Baixue asked, draped in a blanket, her face much rosier than before.
"As long as your man is making money outside, just stay there. The inn I mentioned before was not a joke to you. Don't worry, I'll be ready to be your little boss next spring!"
"Besides, the Chinese New Year is almost here. Wouldn't it be better for us to celebrate the Chinese New Year well first?"
Zhang Baixue felt warm in her heart after hearing Chen Zhen's words. She nodded and lowered her head to eat.
After Chen Zhen finished eating, he wrapped himself in a scarf and walked out. The cold air outside had a sweet smell that was not found in other places.
Passing by the bulletin board at the entrance of the factory, with a bright red notice posted on it, Chen Zhen smiled and continued walking with his head down.
"Oh, Chen Zhen, I said at the beginning that you must be blessed with great fortune, and sure enough, you came out of it with something!"
"That's not what you said at first. How are you going to behave in front of Section Chief Chen at this time?"
"Oh, can you shut up and stop exposing me? You're not good enough. I won't let you go!"
…
Chen Zhen laughed and joked with a few brothers. These people were all classmates in the same grade of Kindergarten at the Match Factory. Chen Zhen also knew about their usual virtues and would definitely not care about them because of these things.
The archives department was still the same as before. Li Shuaifu arrived early and simply cleaned the archives department. Chen Zhen's desk was still spotless.
At this time, Song Tianying passed by the office, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Chief Chen, Shuaifu has been doing his best during your absence. He insists on cleaning your desk every day!"
"Hahaha, that's right. After all, we two brothers share the same office, how could it be different!"
…
Li Shuaifu also scratched his head to cover up his embarrassment. Director Zhao had already come once when Chen Zhen was away. He wooed Li Shuaifu in a good manner, claiming that he wanted Li Shuaifu to be the section chief, and also asked Chen Zhen's things to be packed up and left immediately.
Li Shuaifu definitely couldn't do such a thing of burning bridges across the river, so he directly kicked Director Zhao out with a firm attitude, which made Director Zhao look very ugly, but Li Shuaifu was not afraid at all.
"Director Zhao said a lot of bad things while Brother Zhen was away. The decision to expel was made by him!"
Director Zhao had even introduced business to him before!
From this point of view, my thinking at the time was correct, and there was something wrong with the contract.
As for the payment for the contract, the other party has already paid it to his card. The full payment is 57 cents per cup, 20,000 cups, 11,140 cents!
Li Shuaifu was making tea when he suddenly remembered something and said immediately: "It's the man who is the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, his name is..."
"Zhang Linjiang!"
"Yes, yes, that's him. I seemed to have seen Director Zhao drinking at the Sanlin Hotel outside our factory before. The relationship between the two seems to be pretty good!"
…
Zhang Linjiang?
really!
This matter finally got them together. There were less than ten days left before the contract period of the 20,000 orders, but the factory only had a few hundred orders at most, and it was already impossible to finish them all. It seems that he was trapped by the other party?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen arranged for Li Shuaifu to keep an eye on the office, while he went to the ancient city to find Sun Ergou, who was bragging to his brothers in the third workshop.
"Brother Zhen, I also visited the market here while you were away. Basically, everyone has already accepted the products of the supply and marketing cooperative. It may be a bit difficult for us to break in!"
"And it seems that the other party's industry already has many self-employed people who want to be dealers. This is exactly our way. It's really annoying!"
"Zhang Linjiang's company has also made a lot of money in the process of cooperating with the supply and marketing cooperatives. It has obtained subsidies from the superiors of the supply and marketing cooperatives. I am afraid that it has made a lot of money now!"
…
As he walked, Sun Ergou pointed at some merchants on South Street, indicating which stores already sold apple cider vinegar from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Chen Zhen frowned and looked around. After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhen pointed in the direction of the lower east gate and motioned to go this way.
"Brother Zhen, why don't we go take a look at the front? There is nothing over there at the lower east gate. Even if there are shops, they are all small shops. People from the supply and marketing cooperative can't even look at it!"
"There are few people there, so there is no need to develop there!"
Chen Zhen shook his head and said nothing, and kept walking forward. Sun Ergou had no choice but to follow.
Chen Zhen walked awkwardly for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped at the door of a small alley. The alley was relatively narrow, but the road environment was extremely clean and tidy. The small wooden sign at the door said vinegar. The word "square".
A strong smell of vinegar came out.
Sun Ergou looked around. He had lived for more than twenty years without knowing that there were people living in this narrow alley: "Brother Zhen, what are we doing here?"
"Find a way to bring down Zhang Linjiang!"
"Ah? Is it just this vinegar shop? This small workshop is not very good!"
"That's wrong. As the saying goes, the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley!"
…
After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he walked in with a smile. As there are many small vinegar shops like this in Pingjiang Ancient City, there must be a reason for Chen Zhen to choose this one.
The owner of the vinegar shop: Lei Dongbao.
In his previous life, he was the largest vinegar industry boss in Pingjiang County. His great-grandfather worked in a escort agency. His family was relatively wealthy, but his father was unsatisfactory and could not get richer than three generations. This was fully confirmed in him.
He didn't want to continue his business, so he hung out in various drinking and debauchery places all day long, and even sold all the old antiques at home. In the end, he became bankrupt and Lei Dongbao's life was not as good as before.
Lei Dongbao people are smart and can endure hardships. They started working after elementary school. They carried plates, sold steamed buns with a pole, and sold vinegar to others. They were all good at it.
Finally, I secretly learned some craftsmanship in a vinegar workshop and started researching on my own. However, my family had no money and the unique vinegar was not produced in time. It was not until seven or eight years later that a boss from other places took notice and started investing. Standing at the forefront of Pingjiang vinegar industry.
If Chen Zhen can seize this opportunity, it will naturally be much more convenient.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
The two wooden doors, which were more than one meter wide, were open. Chen Zhen knocked politely, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.
"Who?"
The man was wearing a Tang suit with sleeves in the middle of winter, standing next to the vinegar vat with a wooden stick in his hand, sweat covering his forehead, and heat rising from his head from time to time.
