Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and all the workers on vacation returned to the company. Xia Lei also returned to Haizhu from Shu. There were more people, and the deserted Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company became lively again.
In three days, Xia Lei finalized the procedures and location of the Shu branch. The backbone of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company also went out everywhere to find enough spare parts suppliers, as well as OEM factories for assembling finished products. The current situation is that although Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company does not produce anything, the output of automatic skateboards has increased several times compared with before. Fulfilling orders on time is no problem at all.
Three days ago, Xia Lei felt exhausted, but now he felt confident and happy, and his whole body was relaxed.
"I see you look good. Have you settled everything?" Qin Xiang saw Xia Lei's first words with a smile on his face.
Xia Lei said: "It's all done. The address of the branch has been selected and the relevant procedures have been completed." He smiled and said, "The development of the western region is really no joke. The discounts given by the local government are very good. I'll take you to see our new company in three or four months."
"Yes, I knew you could do it. By the way, why don't you see Zhou Xiaohong come back?"
Xia Lei said: "She stayed in Shu. She is a local, so it is suitable for her to watch over her. In addition, I asked Yin Hao to go over and help her."
Qin Xiang nodded, "That girl Zhou Xiaohong is honest, loyal, and a local. It is really suitable for her to help you look after the new company."
In Xia Lei's mind, Zhou Xiaohong's naked body appeared inexplicably, as well as the drizzle outside her window... A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, how could she sneak into his bed in the middle of the night? Nonsense.
An hour later, all the workers of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company left Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company. They walked toward the city hall with slogans such as "We want to eat," "We want fairness," and "My children want to study." This was Xia Lei's plan that he had made early in the morning. He sent out almost a hundred workers, but there were still more than 400 workers left. A team of several hundred workers walked on the road with slogans. The scene was really spectacular. No matter who sees it, they should take a few more looks. Of course, those who like to browse WeChat or Weibo will not miss such scenes and take photos and upload them one after another.
"What do I do?" Qin Xiang asked Xia Lei in Xia Lei's office.
Xia Lei said: "The supermarket is open as usual. Of course you are managing the supermarket."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I mean to do something special, you know, just like we moved Huang Yihu last time."
Xia Lei understood what Qin Xiang meant. He wanted to copy the case of bringing down Huang Yihu, steal the criminal evidence of the Gu family, and then expose it, and use this method to bring down the Gu family. This idea is actually very good, but the possibility of success is almost zero. A very simple example, Huang Yihu is a dog raised by the Gu family, a dog that specializes in doing dirty things. However, none of the evidence stolen from Huang Yihu's safe last time was related to the Gu family. This shows how cautious and clean the Gu family is in doing things. How easy is it to steal criminal evidence from the Gu family
"Qin Xiang, don't think about this for now. You also know very well what kind of family the Gu family is. This trick works for others, but it doesn't work for the Gu family. I don't want you to take such unnecessary risks." Xia Lei explain.
Qin Xiang shrugged, "Okay, I'll go back to the supermarket."
"Wait a minute." Xia Lei stopped him, "There's nothing going on in the supermarket right now. You said you'd teach me that technique, but I'm fine now. Why don't you teach me."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get ready." Qin Xiang went out.
Xia Lei stretched out his muscles in the office. Qin Xiang returned to the office, holding a washbasin in his hand. The basin was steaming and filled with boiling water.
Xia Lei looked at Qin Xiang and the washbasin in his hand curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Teach you." Qin Xiang placed the washbasin on the desk, then took out an unopened soap from the bag, unpacked it, and threw it into the washbasin filled with boiling water.
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Isn't it?"
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Let's start with the basic skills. Use your index and middle fingers to pick up the soap in the water. You can use either left or right hand."
Xia Lei stood by the washbasin, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and inserted his index and middle fingers into the boiling water like chopsticks. But before he touched the soap, he let out a cry of pain and retracted his hand.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Isn't it as exaggerated as you? My master threw coins into the oil pan, and I picked them up immediately."
Xia Lei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Only a ghost can believe you. Just give me an example."
Without saying anything, Qin Xiang waved his hand. Before Xia Lei could even blink, the soap under the water was already in the gap between his middle finger and index finger.
Xia Lei was a little confused. Although his left eye saw Qin Xiang's every move clearly, those moves were not highly technical, but Qin Xiang succeeded without any sloppy feeling.
"Give me that piece of paper." Qin Xiang pointed to a piece of paper on the desk.
"What do you want paper for?" Xia Lei was curious, but he still reached for it.
Xia Lei brought the paper, but found that what Qin Xiang was holding was no longer the soap, but his wallet.
"How... did you do that?" Xia Lei was very surprised.
Qin Xiang smiled faintly, "In our line of work, it is very important to distract the target. Of course, the most important thing is to have quick and steady hands. Remember these two points, let's continue practicing now. I'll go Get a thermos and add some boiling water for you."
Xia Lei, "..."
after an hour.
Xia Lei's right hand swept over the hot water, and his index and middle fingers quickly dipped into the water and accurately pinched the soap at the bottom. However, he failed to bring the soap out of the water, and the soap slipped out of his fingers. For him, soap in its dissolved state in boiling water was too slippery.
"Still not good." Xia Lei shook his head, very dissatisfied with his performance.
Qin Xiang stared at him, "You are already very good, okay? Do you know how long it took me to practice holding the soap? It was half a month, and you almost succeeded after practicing for only an hour. What else do you want? Sample?"
Xia Lei's learning ability is inherently incredible, but he has become accustomed to this feeling. But in the eyes of others, he sometimes seems like a monster.
At this time, Xia Lei's cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Hu Hou. As soon as the call was connected, his anger seemed to burn into Xia Lei's office through the communication signal, "Xia Lei, what do you want to do? Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Xia Lei was not surprised at all when Hu Hou called. Hundreds of workers from Rema Manufacturing Company were walking on the street with slogans. Such things were simply intolerable to Hu Hou.
Xia Lei looked calm, "Mayor Hu, there's nothing I can do about it. You closed the company for me, so I can only give the workers a holiday. The people in the industry and commerce said they would suspend operations for half a year, so I will take half a year off." . As soon as I announced it, they were not happy and wanted to go out and choke. There were hundreds of people, and I couldn’t stop them even if I wanted to."
Qin Xiang, who was standing next to Xia Lei, burst out laughing. Xia Lei glared at him and he covered his mouth.
"Xia Lei, you don't know who is teasing you, why are you so hard on me?" Hu Hou's tone showed signs of softening, "Call the workers back and don't let them mess around on the street. There are so many people. If there is any security incident and the media continues to hype it up, should I, the mayor, do anything about it?"
Xia Lei said: "Mayor Hu, it's not that I'm against you. This matter... I really can't do anything about it. So many workers have to eat, their children have to study, and they have to pay insurance. They have anger in their hearts and want to vent it. I We can’t just sew their mouths shut, right?”
"Call me back first!"
"Mayor Hu, in this situation, they don't listen to me at all, and it's useless for me to say anything. You revoke the penalty of suspending business for rectification, and they will naturally come back." Xia Lei's stance was tough, but his words But the tone is very good.
"You..." Hu Hou was silent for a moment, "We all take a step back, and you ask them to put the slogans away. I will think of a way for you. We will meet at Yushanyuan in an hour."
"Okay, I will listen to you." Xia Lei said it nicely.
After ending the call with Hu Hou, Xia Lei called Guan Lingshan again, "Lingshan, where are you now?"
Guan Lingshan's voice came from the mobile phone, "We are almost at the city hall, Mr. Xia. Many police are following us, asking us to go back, and saying they will arrest us. What should we do? I'm so scared."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. If you want to arrest me, I will be the one responsible. Now tell the workers to put away the slogans and don't disperse. Wait for my notice."
"Yeah." Guan Lingshan responded.
"In addition, you tell the workers that you can take them to eat whatever they want today. The company will foot the bill and the wages will be calculated ten times." Xia Lei said.
"Wow! Okay, I'll tell them now, they will definitely be very happy." Guan Lingshan said excitedly.
Xia Lei hung up the phone and suddenly reached for the washbasin. This time, he actually lifted the soap out of the water.
Qin Xiang stared at Xia Lei dumbfounded, and then said after being stunned for a while: "You guys are born to be a thief."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "I'll go to Hu Hou's appointment. I'll leave this place to you. If anything happens, contact me immediately."
Qin Xiang said: "Leave this place to me, don't worry."
After a while, Xia Lei got into his black BMW M6, entered "Yushanyuan" on the navigation system, and after the search results came out, he activated the navigation mode, and then drove away from the Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company.
Yushanyuan is a very famous Chinese restaurant. Hu Houyue had to have a wine bar there, which made it difficult to negotiate. However, Xia Lei could not think of any reason that Hu Hou could come up with to ask him to withdraw the troublemaking workers.
"You can't keep silent and please the Gu family, but at the same time ask me to make sacrifices and not make trouble, right? I want to see how you talk to me." Xia Lei thought in his heart.
