Chapter 48 Chapter 47 Something Happened

With the supplier's price support, my bridge factory basically won't lose money.Excluding Zhao Jun's share of money, I still have a small surplus. I'm starting to think about raising the price. It is easy to lower the price and difficult to raise the price.The reason why the price of steel has risen, and then the price of the bridge is too simple, I have to find a reason that is very understandable and acceptable to customers. Just as I was wondering how to increase the price, the price of steel dropped. As soon as the price of steel dropped, other bridge factories also began to cut prices.However, due to the influence of our wave of price cuts against the market, we still occupy a relatively active position, and the sales volume has not been greatly affected. On the contrary, the profit has increased a lot.

My mood gradually became more comfortable, and I suddenly remembered that I should look for Maomei. During this period of time, Mao Mei called me many times and asked me to meet. I was busy with the business of the bridge factory and I was afraid that Zhou Yuan might be misunderstood, so I kept avoiding seeing her. After that, Maomei didn't call me again, I think she must be angry. But I should give Maomei a clear answer and stop letting her focus on me.I called Maomei, but Maomei's cell phone was turned off. This is a new thing, Maomei's cell phone never seems to be turned off.

I didn't care, maybe her phone was out of battery. The next day, I called Maomei's cell phone again, but it was still turned off. I was a little surprised.Then, for several days in a row, Maomei's cell phone was turned off. I had an ominous premonition, so I hurriedly called Zhang Peng.Zhang Peng was evasive. He said, "I don't know. I've been on a business trip during this time." Something must have happened to Maomei. On the eighth floor of an office building, I found Mao Mei's company. Maomei's company is not small, with an office of about 300 square meters.But except for a few girls on duty, it was empty and there was no one else.

I said, "I'm looking for you, Mr. Mao." The lady sitting at the front desk said without raising her head, "Mr. Mao is not here." I said, "Where did she go? I'm her friend." The lady said impatiently: "I told you, she is not here." I said, "What happened to Maomei? Tell me, we'll try to help her." The young lady raised her head and asked, "What kind of friends are you guys?" I stumbled into a dilemma and said falteringly, "It's that kind of very good friend. It's a bit like that, but not that." The young lady forced a smile and said, "Mr. Mao has entered the classroom."

I was taken aback, how is it possible?With Maomei's wisdom, how could she do illegal things? The lady saw that I was sincerely concerned about Mao Mei, so she said to me quietly: "We have a client named Zhou Zhong, who has been playing with Mr. Mao's idea, but Mr. Mao refused. One day Zhou Zhong used force, and Mr. Mao took it away in a fit of anger. The knife stabbed him. Zhou Zhong was seriously injured and almost lost his life. Zhou Zhong’s friend reported the crime, and the police took Mr. Mao away.” "The bastard!" I growled. I asked, "Do you know where Maomei is now? I want to visit her."

The young lady walked into the office area inside, discussed with someone mutteringly, and then told me where Mao Mei was being held. I drove to the detention center, but because the case was pending, the detention center did not allow me to see anyone. I tried my best and said all the good things, and finally entered the detention center in the name of giving Maomei daily necessities. In the interview room of the detention center, the moment Maomei saw me, tears welled up. I sat down across a table from her, speechless for a moment. "You know everything?" Maomei asked with tears in her eyes.

Her mood calmed down a bit. I nodded and said, "Don't worry, you're in self-defense and you'll be out soon." "I'm a prisoner now, will you think highly of me?" Maomei asked. I shook my head and said, "You are a strong woman. Instead of looking down on you, I admire you even more." Maomei was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "I've become like this now, will you despise me?" I was speechless for a while.How should I say it?I told her that I would not dislike her?What does that mean?Or tell her that I have reconciled with Zhou Yuan now, and the family is living well?In her state, how can I speak?

I know that this is the most difficult and vulnerable time for Maomei, and she needs to know that there is still someone standing with her.However, when she needed comfort most, I couldn't give her a clear attitude. Seeing that I was silent, Mao Mei suddenly said calmly: "You don't need to say anything, I know. Sister-in-law is a person worth cherishing. I sincerely wish you all the best, and wish you a long life." Maomei's eyes were filled with tears. After speaking, she turned around and walked slowly towards the iron gate behind. At that moment, my eyes were moist.

After leaving the detention center, I drove to a park alone.During my most difficult years, I often spent my inner depression and confusion in the most secluded corner of this park, dreaming of making a fortune one day.Today, I come here again, with the pain in my heart. Maomei's words rang in my ears, and tears welled up in front of my eyes. For years, Maumee was my only friend. This woman who does not dislike me and associates with me in my most difficult times, this woman who comforts and encourages me in my most difficult times, and the woman who blesses me when I am in trouble, I wish you good luck.

I sat quietly in the corner of the park all afternoon, and at night, I drove back to my temporary home with Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan has already prepared meals, and her son is running around mischievously. All of this makes me cherish it. My younger brother and Xiaoyu have already obtained their marriage certificates, and they have also moved into their new home. My brother invited us to dinner, and he said it was a moving meal. Xiaoyu worked part-time in a restaurant and cooked well.Before we sat in the small living room and chatted a few words, Xiaoyu brought the dishes to the table. My younger brother knew that I was good at wine, so he specially bought a bottle of better liquor.

I picked up the wine glass and said to my younger brother and Xiaoyu: "You have worked very hard for the past few years, and today you finally have a nest. I, the elder brother, congratulate you." The younger brother picked up the cup and drank it down. Xiaoyu said: "I would like to toast my elder brother. I now have a house, a husband, and a shareholder of the company. I have these thanks to my elder brother's help." I said, "It's because you are good at grasping opportunities. I just wanted you to earn a little salary, but I didn't expect that you not only earned a salary, but also earned it for me, which shows that you are amazing." The younger brother said: "I also offer a toast to my brother. We have fought the world together these years, and today we finally look a little better. It's not easy." I said: "Yeah, people like us without any background can only work hard on our own. We are not satisfied yet, and there is still a long way to go. If we are only satisfied with the current situation, then it is possible We can't keep the current situation. Sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." The younger brother said: "I think the store should be reformed. Now the store is not like a store, the company is not like a company, and the management is very informal. It should rent a separate office, set up accountants, cashiers, and set up a separate business department. The store is only used as a window for sales. Just make odd sales and gather information." I said: "I have had this idea for a long time, just because I focused on the bridge factory some time ago. Now the bridge factory is basically on the right track, and we will implement this reform right away." Xiaoyu said beside him: "That's a good idea. I'll apply to go to the office, so that I can be a serious white-collar worker." I said: "The store is still inseparable from you. After the office is rented, a full-time accountant will be hired to do the accounting. Cashier, why don't you let Zhou Yuan try it first?" Zhou Yuan has been listening by the side, and hastily declined when she heard this, saying, "What are you guys? It's a private company. I'm an employee of a state-owned enterprise, so I don't want to work for a private company." I said, "Wake up, what is the difference between a state-owned enterprise and a private company now? Besides, this private company is also our own." Seeing that I was serious, Zhou Yuan said, "I have never done financial work before." The younger brother said: "That's easy, just manage the money." Zhou Yuan said, "Don't hurt me. After all, I am a member of the country. Once I come out, I will lose my organization." Xiaoyu just laughed and said, "You lost an organization, and you are close to our organization." Zhou Yuan said: "You are poaching the country's talents, which is an infringement of the country's property. I have to think about it carefully before deciding whether I will be dragged into the water by you." I laughed out loud and said, "Zhou Yuan, I don't see how humorous you are." Zhou Yuan said: "My mother is in a good mood today. What's the matter? I'll kill you with humor." After a meal, Zhou Yuan and I went back to our rental room.As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Yuan grunted and said, "You see, your brother is younger than you, and he bought a house. You, a brother, haven't bought it yet. Where do you put your face?" I said, "Do you want to get married? How can you get married if you don't have a house?" Zhou Yuan said, "Then where was your house when you got married?" I said, "Don't you own a house? I'm the son-in-law, so you should buy a house." Zhou Yuan was not happy, and said, "Since when did you become a door-to-door son-in-law? You are too good at escaping, right?" I said, "Why don't we also buy a second-hand house? The down payment for a mortgage is only tens of thousands of yuan, which I can afford now." Zhou Yuan said: "That won't work, I want to live in a new house. After suffering so much with you, I never said anything else. I must buy a new house." I said: "Zhou Yuan, when it comes to buying a house, it's not that we can't afford it now, but I want to make the business stronger before buying it. This year our business has developed faster, because of the rapid development, there are still some places to do it. It’s not practical enough. When we get our business down to business, it’s not too late to buy. Don’t worry, I will let you live in a new house next year at the latest.”
