202: Dispute
At the same time, the New Territories was also investigated.
Some people had reported illegal operations in the New Territories, that they had not only opened gambling establishments, but also sold drugs prohibited by the state. Police found the hidden drugs on the spot after a raid. Some people even wanted to pour the drugs into the toilet, but they were one step too late. The relevant person in charge at the bar had been arrested.
Sun Jian was angry about the tax evasion, and then such an incident happened again. He was so angry that he slammed his desk, hard. After he had vented twice, his phone rang. At first glance, it was the second generation official who opened the bar with him. Immediately after it connected, without asking him what happened, the other party proposed to withdraw from the New Territories. He didn't want the shares. He thought that this person could help him, but in the end, he was asking to leave?
"Why are there so many things happening all at once? Aren't you XX's eldest son, why didn't you receive any news?" Sun Jian suppressed his anger.
Hearing that, the man was also a little annoyed. "Think about the people you have offended recently who you shouldn't have offended. My dad can't manage this. My point is, if you want to check who is targeting Dongwang Group, please do it for yourself."
He knew that Sun Jian had done illegal things, but he didn't know that he actually dared to sell drugs. He learned that the weight of the drugs found was one kilogram. When he first heard the news, he was shocked. Fearing that this would affect his father, he called him. Regardless of whether Sun Jian agreed or not, he intended to withdraw. He also believed that Sun Jian did not dare to pull him into the water now.
Hearing the beeping sound from his mobile phone, Sun Jian finally couldn't help but throw the mobile phone against the wall forcefully. Who was it calling him ‘brother, brother’ while drinking a while ago? And Sun Jian indeed did not dare to drag him into the water. But who the hell was it that held hatred with him?
Sun Jian thought that there were many people who he usually offended, but those people were incapable. If they could have, they would have already shot, not wait until now.
A certain two figures flickered in his mind; Sun Jian remembered the group of people he had met in the New Territories that day. Two of them left an impression on him. What did they say at the time, that it was a newly opened broken bar, and didn’t they also say that his bar no longer needed to be open?
Sun Jian didn't take their words to heart that day. Now, how could he not think that something was wrong? A series of things happened against him after that incident. Obviously, someone wanted to bring him down. If it was only aimed at the Dongwang Group, they could also be understood as an opponent of the Dongwang Group. However, the New Territories was his private industry, and few people knew about it. Since the other party was targeting the New Territories at this juncture, they clearly knew that the New Territories was his.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian took a breath of air. If this was the case, maybe it really was related to those two people?
Sun Jian immediately retrieved his phone card and inserted it into another phone. A phone call came in just after the phone was turned on, and the caller's name was his father.
As soon as he was connected, Chairman Sun scolded him. He thought he could enjoy his old age after he retired, but as a result, something like this happened. He almost went mad at the hospital. However, if he was told that his son’s bar was searched and drug evidence was found, it was estimated that he would be killed directly.
Sun Jian did not dare to tell him, just saying that he would handle this well. Chairman Sun was very skeptical.
The charges of concealing drugs and selling drugs were not trivial. If a scapegoat was not pushed out, the police would find him sooner or later. That was a matter of urgency, but this matter was more important.
Spring Festival was in a week, and every family was busy buying new year goods. Wang Cheng wanted to catch up with when others were buying goods, and specifically asked the people in the decoration company to speed up. They finally completed the construction a few days before the Spring Festival. The walls of the new store had all been brushed earlier, and were ventilated and breathable on all sides. They could start work the next day.
When Wang Cheng returned to the Guan’s Village, Mama Wang and Wang Ziyu were out to buy new year goods. Today, there was a market in the village, and things were cheaper than usual. Every house had to come back with something.
Wang Cheng called Papa Wang and learned that he was still in the jam shop, and Song Hai and Guan Ying were also there. So, he drove over to the jam shop; all three were busy.
As the new year was approaching, the jam shop was also a lot busier. These days, they could hardly touch the ground. Song Hai and Guan Ying saw Wang Cheng coming and could only take the time to say hello.
"Why have you come today?" Papa Wang came out with a plate of freshly cut fruit.
Wang Cheng inserted a toothpick into a piece of fruit and said while eating, "The decoration of the new store is already complete. I came to ask Song Hai and Guan Ying if they were interested in passing."
"Both of them are very diligent." Papa Wang nodded and asked, "But neither Song Hai nor Guan Ying have any experience in this area. Will there be any problems?"
"Dad, rest assured, I have already made arrangements." Wang Cheng said.
After the meeting, the store was finally less busy. Wang Cheng called Song Hai and Guan Ying over and told them his plans. Papa Wang originally planned for them to take their holiday in two days, so that they could go back and accompany their families for the new year, and had already told them of this matter. Now that the new store needed manpower, Wang Cheng wanted to consult them first.
The expressions of both were pleasantly surprised, especially Song Hai, who had long wanted to go to the city.
"Cheng Ge, can we really go?"
Wang Cheng nodded. "Of course. My dad is watching the shop here, so I plan to let you two go to the city together. I don't know if you are interested. If you are, you may not be on holiday until the eve of the new year."
"Yes, I am!" Song Hai hurriedly said. He withered a bit after shouting, "However, I don't have much experience. I'm afraid that something will go wrong."
"You can rest assured, I have no intention of letting you all go to the new store. At that time, I will let Cousin Jiahe go to help. Song Hai, you will learn from Cousin Jiahe, and when you can be left alone, I will leave the new store to you. As for Guan Ying, first follow Uncle Liang in the jam shop in the commercial center for a while."
Song Hai and Guan Ying nodded together.
Wang Cheng immediately let them off, asking them to go home and prepare, and then come back later in the afternoon, while he himself stayed to help Papa Wang. Song Hai and Guan Ying's parents didn't stop them after hearing this, instead, they were very supportive. Their son and their daughter didn’t have to crouch in the small town of Chengping all the time, they could go out to see the world and face the future.
In the afternoon, the two packed their luggage and went over.
Wang Cheng called home and asked Wang Ziyu to come to the shop to help, and then took Song Hai and Guan Ying away. This was not their first time going to the city, but they kept chatting like it was their first time. When Wang Cheng first went to rent the house, he took them into consideration, so he rented a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house.
"There is one room that is unoccupied. Guan Ying, you can keep your own room. Song Hai, you see if you want to sleep with Cousin Jiahe, or with Uncle Liang. But Uncle Liang's room is relatively larger."
Wang Cheng gave a bunch of keys to Guan Ying, three keys in total for the house and her room. Although it was not good for a girl to live with three big men, everyone knew each other, and Wang Cheng trusted the two others. Although Guan Ying's room was not large, there was a slightly large window in the room, and just outside the window was a space that could be used to dry clothes.
Song Hai went to the room Guan Jiahe slept in to take a look; it was indeed small. He wanted to see Uncle Liang's room, but it was locked.
Wang Cheng calmly took out the key to open the door. He had a bunch of keys in his hand, and he kept one of the keys for each of the rooms.
Song Hai went in and took a look: it turned out to be larger. He said, "Then I will sleep with Uncle Liang."
“Once your luggage is put away, I'll take you to the jam shop to take a look." Wang Cheng said. He had not told his cousin and Uncle Liang about this.
The three arrived at the jam shop, where Guan Jiahe and Uncle Liang were busy.
Seeing Song Hai and Guan Ying following Wang Cheng, Uncle Liang's expression grew a bit unnatural. At this time, the two should still be in the Chengping jam shop helping out, and their sudden appearance here gave him a bad hunch.
After the customers left, Wang Cheng talked with them.
"Song Hai and Guan Ying will also work here in the future. I plan to let Song Hai learn from Cousin Jiahe first, and Guan Ying can follow Uncle Liang."
Hearing that the two would be separated, Liang Youshan's expression eased a bit and his hope rekindled. He immediately asked, "Then who will be in charge of the new district?"
"I'm going to let Cousin Jiahe and Song Hai take charge of the new store," Wang Cheng said.
Liang Youshan's expression stiffened. Guan Jiahe was a bit surprised. He took a subconscious look at Liang Youshan and saw that his face was a bit ugly. Although something unpleasant happened, he knew that Uncle Liang still wanted to take charge of the new store. Wang Cheng's decision might make him have a grudge.
"I have an opinion." Liang Youshan was not prepared to be silent this time.
Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "What's the opinion?"
"I don't think I'm inferior to Guan Jiahe or Song Hai. I also have the ability to manage the new store. Because Guan Jiahe is your cousin, you let him run the new store over and over again,” Liang Youshan broke out. He felt that Wang Cheng was prejudiced against himself because of what happened last time.
The shop quieted down instantly.
Both Song Hai and Guan Ying stared at Liang Youshan in surprise. Uncle Liang had always given them a good impression, as a hardworking and honest person. They didn't expect that there would be complaints in his heart?
"Undeniably, Uncle Liang, you do have the ability. However, I remember that you don’t seem to have been here before and you are not familiar with the situation in the city. In this regard, Cousin Jiahe is better than you. There is one more thing: I don't need a store manager who can only take good care of the store. In this regard, Cousin Jiahe has also done well, so I chose him.” Wang Cheng raised his leg. What he didn't say was that the character of the store manager was also a question he considered. Liang Youshan completely failed in this respect. He didn't say this because he just wanted to save him some face.
However, Liang Youshan obviously didn't think so. He felt that Wang Cheng's words were enough to insult him. He was implying that he was inferior to Guan Jiahe in terms of human relations, right? He knew that Wang Cheng was really remembering what happened the last time. Guan Jiahe, what was so good about him? Wasn’t he just a person who could only slander others behind their backs?!
His expression was so obvious that Wang Cheng frowned.
Guan Jiahe didn't want everyone's relationship to be too stiff, so he stepped out and said, "Uncle Liang, there is no chance this time, but there will be next time ..."
"You don't need to pretend here." Uncle Liang interrupted him loudly, and his dissatisfaction with Guan Jiahe also broke out at this moment. After shouting, he found that this sentence was a bit inappropriate. However, as it was said, spilled water could not be recollected. He could only be silent.
Wang Cheng caught a glimpse of two customers coming in and said, "Uncle Liang, think about it, then let’s talk after you’re off work."
After this incident, the relationship between everyone was no longer as harmonious as when they were originally working together, and Song Hai, who usually loved to talk, was silent. He and Guan Ying had actually heard those rumors in Chengping, and they both felt that Uncle Liang and his wife were a bit unkind. Cheng Ge had never treated them badly. Uncle Liang just hated Cheng Ge because his wife was kicked out of the apartment, and indulged his wife in hurting Cheng Ge’s family. This kind of behavior was ungrateful.
Now Uncle Liang resented Cheng Ge not letting him take charge of the new store. In fact, Song Hai and Guan Ying both felt that the ability of Jiahe Ge was above that of Uncle Liang’s. First, Jiahe Ge began working in the jam shop earlier than them. Secondly, Jiahe Ge was definitely the hardest working one in the jam shop. His performance had always been number one, and his work was well organized. These two points were truly incomparable. Jiahe Ge kindly persuaded him, but he did not appreciate it. He even said that Jiahe Ge didn’t need to pretend. The two could not help but feel that Uncle Liang had become more and more ungrateful.
In the morning, Wang Cheng had already instructed Lu Dade from the jam factory and asked him to find someone to deliver to the store in the new district on time in the afternoon. The truck arrived soon after them.
Guan Jiahe was responsible for cleaning the new area, and Song Hai went out to help with unloading the goods. Then, another truck came, from Boss Xie's factory. Wang Cheng left the matter to them and let them call him if they had any questions, before leaving.
Wang Cheng first called Chu Yifeng and learned that he hadn’t eaten lunch, so he bought food and went to Huaying Real Estate to find him. By then, it was 12 o'clock. The company's employees had already gone to work for dinner, and only a few called for take-out. An employee that didn’t know him wanted to go over when he saw him, but was dragged back by an employee who knew Wang Cheng. After he entered the office, they whispered quietly.
"I heard he used to be an employee here."
"Is an employee so familiar with our boss? How can I see that the relationship between the two is unusual."
Everyone looked at each other, bowing their heads and no longer talking.
One of the company rules was to not gossip about the boss.
