A month ago, Zhang Ming would never have thought that he would be able to sit on the president's seat one day, let alone that he would be able to control the eating, drinking, defecation and urination, as well as the decision-making of all matters big and small, of the association's 60,000 to 70,000 people in an instant.
This happiness came so suddenly that Zhang Ming was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two or three days. Although the vice president and the president are only one word apart, the power they hold is completely different.
Zhang Ming has been attending meetings in the city these days, meeting people like the president of the council, the president of the regulatory committee, and the representative of the chaebol in District 1. This rapid improvement in his social circle has also made Zhang Ming feel excited. He repeatedly warned himself not to be arrogant, to calm down, and to stay stable, but it was still difficult to suppress the excitement and pleasure that power brought him.
In the office, Zhang Ming sat on a chair that symbolized the supreme power of the union, combing his hair back in a shiny slicked-back style. He smiled and said to Gu Baishun, "Xiao Gu, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Gu Baishun looked at Zhang Ming who was at his peak, and said more cautiously: "It's like this, President, you know that my father had many apprentices during his lifetime. A few days ago, a man named Niu Feng called my mother and said that he was currently detained in Banan and wanted to come back, but he couldn't do it himself. I asked him about it, and he said that this matter can be done, but it requires money and connections. I can get the money, but the connections...!"
"Haha!" Zhang Ming listened halfway and grinned and said, "Xiao Gu, you want to gather your father's old team back to help you, right?"
"To be honest, there are still many people below who are not convinced after I was parachuted into Longkou. Also, I am not very familiar with the business in all aspects, so I want to find some familiar people to come back and help me." Gu Baishun did not hide anything and replied with a bright smile.
Zhang Ming paused for a while and said, "Okay, before President Jing got into trouble, he specifically instructed that you should be trained as a priority. I'll find someone to help you ask about this."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Ming looked at Gu Baishun meaningfully, with a smile on his face.
Gu Baishun looked at him and immediately replied: "Thank you, President Jing, but you should take care of me more! From now on, we will develop Longkou the same way you say."
The two looked at each other, and Zhang Ming laughed: "You are a smart man, Xiao Gu, I like you very much, you do a good job."
"Yes, definitely!"
"Okay, go ahead. I know about this."
"Okay, then you're busy."
After the two finished chatting, Gu Baishun bowed and left. Zhang Ming looked at his back and commented softly, "Is he going to set up his own team now? Haha, he's not as stupid as he thought!"
Gu Baishun left the association building, bent down to get into the car, and said on the phone: "Zhang Tianyi, find the best lawyer to handle Guo Zhengdao's case. I don't want to ask the president for help. Yes, no matter how much money it costs, you have to find a way to get them out of the kiln for me. These people have been in prison for seven or eight years. It's easy to operate. Well, call me immediately if you have any news."
…
Two days later, inside the Tongji Club compound.
Su Tiannan and Su Tianbei were standing in the middle of the yard, directing the workers who had just gathered to get on the bus.
"Everyone, hurry up and stop talking nonsense. Get the certificate, grab the luggage, and let's get in the car and wait."
"Xiao Hao, take out the newly bought beddings and distribute them to everyone." Su Tianbei was also shouting. He was really good to his workers. Before they left, he ordered 800 sets of brand new beddings, which were specially for everyone to use while working in the work area.
Everyone got on the bus and prepared to set off.
At the corner of the crowd, the foreman Jiushu looked at his old wife, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come? You're not in good health, why are you making trouble with me?"
"...!" The old woman, wearing a headscarf in the middle of summer, replied with red eyes: "I am a burden to you. You are over 50 years old... and still have to work in the mines."
"People have to eat to survive, and I have to make money even without you." Uncle Jiu waved his hand and replied, "Stop crying and go back quickly."
"Take care of yourself and our son."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go back." Uncle Jiu threw down this sentence, hunched over, and got on the truck with his luggage.
In fact, according to his age, it would be difficult for Jiushu to be admitted. But he had been doing infrastructure work since before Dragon City was established, so he was experienced and had great prestige among the workers, so Su Tiannan let him go. And among all the workers, he should be the oldest.
This time, Uncle Jiu not only came himself, but also brought his eldest son. Only with the two working people earning money could the poor family expenses be covered.
After everyone got on the bus, Su Tiannan waved his hand and said, "Okay, the car in front should leave."
At the command, more than 800 workers set out in a mighty procession and rushed to the work area on trucks.
On this day, thousands of workers from Changqing Company, more than 2,000 workers from the dock workers' union, and people from other business organizations and companies basically all set out and officially started work.
Su Tiannan and Su Tianbei were planning to stay in the work area and personally manage their own people. But tonight, only the main force moved in, and the work had not officially started yet, so they didn't need to move in right away, so they made an appointment with Liu Xiaohai in the evening.
Today Liu Xiaohai agreed very readily and said that after he finished his work, he would go to the city to get together with everyone.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, after all the workers had moved into the dormitory, Su Tiannan and Su Tianbei had dinner with everyone.
…
At the same time.
Inside the criminal detention center of the police station, Lu Feng, with a shaved head and empty hands, followed the police officer to the duty room.
"Sign it, Master Lu!" the police officer said jokingly.
Lu Feng lowered his head and wrote his name on the release certificate in a flamboyant manner. He then said to the police officer, "You are kind-hearted and have a connection with Buddha! Let your wife come to me later and I will help her solve her infertility problem..."
"Are you speaking human language?"
"Look, I'm telling her to go up the mountain to worship Buddha, what are you thinking?" Lu Feng smiled and replied, "We are all friends, how can I do it myself?"
"Go away, forget it, just leave now." The police officer replied irritably.
"Okay, let's eat later!" Lu Feng waved his hand.
"Stop showing off. This place is boring. Don't come here." The police officer was familiar with Lu Feng. He greeted him and opened the iron gate.
Ten minutes later, Lu Feng walked out of the detention center and looked around.
Eight black cars stopped on the roadside, and more than 30 people bent over and shouted, "Brother Feng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four strings of firecrackers rang out in the open space next to the detention center. Lu Feng nodded slightly at everyone, bent down and got on the first car, looking very proud.
…
Longcheng city area.
The young man who stayed in the hotel and did not go out did not contact Su Tiannan in the end. Instead, he waited for several days and then went to the port to pick up his friend.
