Back to 1993

When Gu Zhengdong returned home, the children had gone to bed early, and Aunt Xian was sitting on a recliner in the yard, listening to Peking Opera dimly.

"Mom, don't wait for me, go into the room and sleep." Gu Zhengdong said distressedly.

"I'm getting old, I'm afraid I'll fall into a deep sleep, and I didn't hear you come back."

"Then I won't hear it, and I'll talk tomorrow morning."

"I'm afraid you have something good to do. No one will share it, so I'm in a panic." Aunt Xian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Mom, how do you know something good happened to me?"

"Your walking steps are light, as if you are about to fly. Is the matter settled?"

"The matter of the embroidery factory is settled, and I have become friends with Director Hu of the National Development and Reform Commission. He will help me in the future."

"It's great, many friends have multiple paths." Aunt Xian nodded.

"Mom, go to sleep, you can't even raise your eyelids anymore, I'm thinking about buying a building as soon as possible, and let you move there, so you can relax."

"Buying a house is not buying a piece of clothing. You buy it when you get there, so you have to pick and choose. Don't worry. By the way, Ge Ping said today that she would move out to rent a house. I tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen."

"Let her go, she has her own arrangements, she is an adult, we can only help for a while." Gu Zhengdong also has a little understanding of Ge Ping, this woman is far stronger than he imagined, and she has ideas.

"She moved away, so I said call Dagang here. Didn't his wife go back to her natal house arguing, and he can't drink too much when he's at home alone? I can watch it when I come here."

"Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow."

Gu Zhengdong glanced at Ge Ping's house and turned off the lights early.He estimated that there were two reasons for Ge Ping to move. One was because her daughter was with Xiao Xiao, and the difference in living conditions was too great, and she was afraid that the child would be affected.

The second fear is that out of guilt for Da Gang, he doesn't want to get too close to Gu Zhengdong, for fear that Da Gang will have thoughts about Gu Zhengdong.

These are unavoidable, Ge Ping moved away, it is a very sensible way to deal with it, Gu Zhengdong has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Early the next morning, Ge Ping told him again.

"You want to rent a house, find a place closer to the embroidery factory, and I will send you there to deal with the canteen later."

When Gu Zhengdong said this, Ge Ping's eyes lit up, which was a hint that she would be promoted in the future.

"Thank you, Director Gu, for your trust. I will work hard." Ge Ping was in a good mood, walking like a gust of wind.

Gu Zhengdong remembered Director Hu's promise yesterday, and went to wait in his office before eight o'clock.

Director Hu did not break his promise, and gave him the green light to pass at full speed as quickly as possible.

When Gu Zhengdong got the approval and returned to the embroidery factory, the workers were cleaning.

The matter of the factory has become clear, and everyone has speculated about when the workers' meeting will be held.

Some people are worried and want to sell their shares, some people want to buy more shares, they can say anything.

But no matter what, the factory is about to live, everyone has hope in their hearts, and there is joy everywhere.

As soon as Gu Zhengdong's car drove up to the door, Daniel ran to open the door, Gu Zhengdong stopped the car, and saw Sha San'er squatting under the big tree in the yard in a daze.

"San'er, go to work, you will be working here from now on." Gu Zhengdong explained with gestures.

Silly San'er finally understood, and rushed over to help the female workers fetch and pour water, and also became joyful.

It turned out that he was worried that Gu Zhengdong didn't want him anymore, and he didn't dare to ask, but now that he was asked to work, he was fine.

Gu Zhengdong called Zhang Dana and the others, briefly explained the situation, and set the time for the employee equity meeting.

"I'm going to resume production soon. I'm so excited." Sister Fang burst into tears when she thought of this.

The current embroidery factory is a waste of time, but fortunately, these assistants are very capable, and they have lightened Gu Zhengdong's burden a lot.

Ge Ping even directly invited technician Hong from the flax factory to discuss with the people in the technical room.

"I'll count you as a superannuation." Technician Hong envied the bustle of the embroidery factory.

"You are already our non-staff. Our factory manager said that he will give you a salary." Zhang Dana laughed.

"Oh my god, is there such a good thing? I can't believe it."

"It's necessary! Our factory manager, Gu, is very particular about his work!"

"But having said that, even if the technical problems are solved, the cloth may not be finished." Technician Hong sighed.

"How do you say that?" Gu Zhengdong asked puzzled.

"Our factory is also undergoing reform. The director of the factory has half of his neck buried in the ground, and he doesn't care about anything. The two deputy managers are fighting like black-eyed chickens. They both want to take over the factory. Now the two of them, As long as one says yes, the other must say no. What do you guys think?"

"It's quite lively, and the two of them got into a fight." Gu Zhengdong couldn't laugh anymore.

He can't get into the machine and start working by himself. These people don't care about anything for their own interests, and they don't think about the workers. They have suppressed their wages for several months. How many families are waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Gu Zhengdong thought about it, and planned to meet these two great gods and see what they were.

I don't want Dagang to break into the gate of the embroidery factory in a fit of anger.

Gu Zhengdong glanced at him, nodded his head, and gave Ge Ping a wink.

Ge Ping was so frightened that her head thumped, she rushed into the water house, and blocked the silly three who were about to come out with two buckets of water.

"Brother, what do you think, she wants to break up with me!"

"Dagang, wait for two more days, calm down, and I will definitely deal with it for you." Gu Zhengdong is busy here, and really has no time to take care of him, so he is busy discussing with him.

"I can't wait for a day, it's not that your son is gone, I feel bad!" Da Gang said with a wheeze, and sat down on the ground.

When Gu Zhengdong looked at him, his heart ached. His face had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were collapsed, his eye sockets were sunken, and his trousers were all baggy.

It's a torment for him these days, too.

"Dagang, listen to my brother, some things don't come in a hurry, they take time."

"Will time bring my son back?"

Da Gang didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and he decided that Xiao Lin's miscarriage was a boy.

Zhang Dana and the others didn't know what happened and whispered.

For safety's sake, Ge Ping locked the door of the water house and just waited for Da Gang to leave.

Gu Zhengdong had no choice but to take Da Gang out and go to Xiao Lin's house for a breather.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the factory, they saw Xiaolin's parents killing them, and when they saw Gu Zhengdong, they rushed forward.

"You guys did a good job! You made my girl's belly bigger, and now she has a miscarriage. Tell me! How can I pay for it!"

This yard is full of female workers, and they all like to be lively, so they all gathered around and listened to what they had to say.

It was them that Gu Zhengdong was afraid of. It was impossible for irrelevant things to interfere with the normal order of the factory.

Now he can only take one step at a time, he said to Da Gang, indicating to go back to the office.

Without their hands, they walked to the office, and Xiaolin's parents chased after them.

Entering the office, Gu Zhengdong closed the door with his backhand, now is the time to reason.
