Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Zhao Wenhao returned to the office and sat down again.

"Da da da……"

His fingers tapped on the table, but his thoughts had drifted far away.

His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was looking at somewhere far away.

After a few minutes, he came to his senses, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone.

He was just about to dial the number to call Zhou Xian at the provincial government. However, just as he was about to press the call button, he hesitated and his hand stopped in mid-air.

He frowned, wondering whether he should report the situation to Zhou Xian immediately.

But after some thought, he finally put down the phone.

He felt that now was not the best time and he had to figure out the situation first before he could better report to Zhou Xian.

Otherwise, if you say something wrong, you may cause unnecessary trouble to yourself and others.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhao Wenhao sat in the chair, waiting quietly.

He looked at his watch from time to time, feeling a little anxious.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the original arrangement, he should have been in Zhou Xian's office at this time, reporting to him on the progress of his work.

But now, because the gate is blocked, it has become more difficult to go out.

This made him feel very helpless, but he could only wait patiently.

Just when Zhao Wenhao was about to pick up the phone again to explain the situation to Zhou Xian, the phone rang at the right time.

"Hello, who are you?" Zhao Wenhao asked anxiously.

"Is Mr. Zhao here? I'm Wang Qicheng from the Provincial Government Office."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing the other party introduce himself, Zhao Wenhao quickly replied, "Oh, it's Director Wang! I'm so sorry, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me."

"Mr. Zhao, didn't you make an appointment with Governor Zhou to meet at three o'clock this afternoon? Governor Zhou has been waiting for you, and when he saw that you hadn't arrived, he asked me to call and ask what was going on?" Wang Qicheng asked straight to the point.

Zhao Wenhao gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Director Wang, I'm so sorry! I also wanted to keep the appointment on time, but I really encountered some unexpected situations.

I was originally preparing to go to the provincial government, but who knew that the company's door was suddenly blocked.

More than a hundred people came from the provincial television factory and said they wanted to ask us for an explanation.

Our CEO Yuan is currently communicating with them, and I'm not entirely clear on the details. I originally planned to clarify the situation before reporting it to the leadership."

"Someone's causing trouble at the Provincial Television Factory?" Wang Qicheng was very surprised and asked immediately, "Do you know who is leading this? What are their demands?"

"The leader is Feng Yuanhua, and I haven't figured out his background yet. As for their demands, President Yuan is still in talks with them, and I'm not intervening. How about I wait until I understand the situation before reporting to Governor Zhou?"

Zhao Wenhao was very helpless. Lu Han had said before that Feng Yuanhua might be Feng Zhen’s nephew, but there was no time to confirm it.

Therefore, he didn't feel comfortable saying this consciously.

Besides, it had only been half an hour since the incident happened, so he needed time to figure out the whole story.

"In this case, I will report the situation to Governor Zhou immediately."

Wang Qicheng didn't say much nonsense and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

At this moment, Lu Han walked in from outside. Seeing Zhao Wenhao just put down the phone, he immediately said, "I just called the guard room, but couldn't get through, so I decided to come and report the situation to you in person."

"What on earth happened?" Zhao Wenhao asked directly with a gloomy face.

"After verification, the ringleader was Feng Zhen's nephew, Feng Yuanhua. In addition, there were several other people, all relatives of mid-level and senior leaders of the provincial television factory. They were dissatisfied because they were about to be laid off, so they came to us to argue."

Lu Han briefly explained the situation.

"They actually dare to come to us to argue! Don't they know that they should go to the provincial government? What's the point of coming to us?" Zhao Wenhao's face turned ashen, and he was obviously very angry.

The acquisition of the provincial television factory was not a voluntary decision, but a decision made out of necessity.

But now these people come to him to ask for an explanation, which is really ridiculous.

Seeing that his boss looked unhappy, Lu Han didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Zhao Wenhao also realized that his anger should not be vented on Lu Han, so he waved his hand and apologized to Lu Han: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Lu Han continued, "They feel the company has no reason to lay them off. If layoffs are truly necessary, substantial compensation must be offered, or they will absolutely not agree. They've even threatened to blockade the provincial television factory to prevent our plan from being implemented."

Zhao Wenhao laughed angrily after hearing this: "Haha, it seems they think Hengyuan Electronics is a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied!"

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Yuan is still persuading them, hoping that they will stop and promised them that they can communicate with the provincial government on this matter. I wonder what you think?" Lu Han asked.

Zhao Wenhao did not reply immediately, but thought about it for a while.

We had already agreed with the provincial government that over 1000 of the 100 employees would be laid off. The final decision on their future employment would be made by the provincial government. Whether they would receive compensation or continue working at other units would be a unified arrangement.

But now the acquisition between the two parties has not been finalized, and the news has not been released, but it has already caused chaos.

"Tell Mr. Yuan to calm them down as much as possible and avoid any conflict with them. Secretary Wang from the provincial government just called, and I told him about this. I'm sure they'll come up with a decision. All I have to do now is wait."

Although he felt a little unhappy, after comprehensive consideration, Zhao Wenhao still felt that there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

In this situation, the best way is to let the province handle it, there is no need for him to intervene.

Besides, this is a matter of the province itself. It was agreed upon at the beginning and we are just waiting for both parties to sign a written document.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao. I'll go talk to Mr. Yuan right away." Lu Han hesitated, but finally spoke up. "Mr. Zhao, what if the provincial government can't come up with a solution right away? Are we just going to sit there and wait?"

"Can't you come up with a solution?" Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but sneer. "That's even easier. The acquisition contract hasn't been signed yet. If they can delay, why can't we? If they don't resolve it today, I'll go out and announce the cancellation of the acquisition plan."

Lu Han curled his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Okay, go talk to Mr. Yuan first. It's 3:10 now. If they haven't dispersed by 4:00, I'll go over and tell them about the company's latest decision."

Zhao Wenhao waved his hand and let Lu Han go over.
