1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 109 Leverage and Negotiation Meeting
The next day, a table was set up in front of the door of franchise store No. 49.

There was nothing in the box above except a stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills.

Between the four legs of the table, there was a piece of cardboard with a few lines of crooked characters written on it: "Support the national labor employment law, crack down on the employment of child labor for improper reasons, welcome leaders to inspect!"

This is a rather mysterious slogan, and coupled with the stack of hundred-dollar bills, it is indescribably ironic.

What is strange is that even though the current security environment is not peaceful, and even though the table is placed defenselessly at the entrance of a crowded store, no one has any bad thoughts about the stack of tempting banknotes.

amount……

In fact, it is not entirely true. In fact, there are many unemployed vagrants who have evil thoughts. However, just when they were discussing with their companions how to make a fortune, they were slapped in the face. After hearing their companions' explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, they avoided them far away.

As I said before, in this era that is about to be broken, most people still have a piece of pure land in their hearts that is not allowed to be trampled upon.

Unexpectedly, but not quite unexpectedly, the men in uniform came again in the afternoon.

Amid the mocking gazes of countless onlookers, he tore up another ticket with a grim face, then took the five hundred-dollar bills that the clerks drew out in the respectful yet contemptuous attitude of the clerks, and left in a rage.

To be honest, this is because everyone now knows that Momo Baizha is an industry of the oil system. If it were any other company, they would have the courage to take such a defiance attitude and let you know in minutes why the flowers are so red.

………………

It seems that women are very empathetic creatures.
Or maybe it's because the older generation of southwestern women are born with a kind of compassionate saintly quality.
Of course, it is more likely that this group of southwestern women found a good way to openly slap the locals in the face and vent their anger;

In short, when the news about franchise store No. 49 spread throughout the entire family group overnight, all the franchise stores seemed to have taken aphrodisiacs and all took action.

In just one day, except for the three model stores, the other 61 franchise stores, by some unknown means, found more than a dozen disabled children and seven orphans at once, and then arranged them directly in their own stores without reporting to the authorities.

Of course, these store managers are not fools. Having worked in the drilling company for decades, they certainly know the principle of "being upright". Therefore, the seven orphans are all people of relatively good character without exception... There is absolutely no problem in taking care of disabled children with kindness, but if it is an orphan with healthy limbs, there are more considerations involved.

The strange thing is that everyone from the business guidance team to the quality control department seemed to be blind to the private behavior of the store managers and said nothing;
As expected, after receiving the fine from the management unit, the quality control department took the responsibility for them without saying anything. They were even considerate enough to apply for a special fund ranging from 5000 to 1 yuan for them to deal with subsequent fines.

The implication is obvious: as long as it is the right thing to do, just go ahead and do it. The company will compensate you for any fines imposed by the competent authority.

This kind of extremely domineering, yet very much to her liking, underworld style won the hearts of all the family members in minutes. The quality control department, which was scolded as "more evil than Zhou Bao Pi" a few days ago, suddenly became an extremely caring good sister.

As a result, the table and the stack of brand new hundred-yuan bills displayed in front of the Momo Baizha store quickly became a hot topic among the locals in Dezhou and Jinan.

Out of a strange mentality, no matter whether it was MoMo Bai Zha or MoMo Bai Chao, the number of people queuing at the door kept increasing. Not only were the shop assistants almost exhausted every day, the workload of the delivery fleet also skyrocketed. The warehouse was even more frightened, submitting three reports a day, for fear that if they were not careful, MoMo Bai Zha would run out of raw materials again as it did two months ago, and then they would be doomed.

What is strange is that in the face of such a sensational news, local media in Texas and Jinan reported it, and only some tabloids with little presence followed up.

The reason is simple. Although this matter seems to be nothing wrong at first glance, as things develop, the human traces behind it are too obvious.

Putting aside other things, who gives you, a few grassroots law enforcement officers, the courage to risk the anger of the people and issue fines again and again to a well-known chain store like Mo Mo Bai Zha that has a state-owned enterprise background?

The saying "the law is nothing but emotion" is not something that only came into being in later times. Anyone with a normal mind understands that when faced with something that is "illegally unacceptable but excusable", the most correct approach is to give a verbal warning and then turn around and cancel the fine.

But this is not important. For mainstream journalists, although it is inconvenient to report, they are happy to see such things that help purify social atmosphere.

For Yang Mo, as long as the Mo Mo Bai Zha/Mo Mo Bai Chou project can spread through word of mouth and become a symbol of value in the minds of the people, it does not matter whether the mainstream news reports it or not.

In fact, with the daily sales of these 64 franchise stores in the past half month, it was enough for him to take the absolute initiative.

kindness……

I have to say that Comrade Tang Chaoxian from the School of Industry and Agriculture is indeed worthy of being the nephew of Vice President Tang. He has great power. If it were someone else, they would not have the ability to make them bear such tremendous pressure and play such a "moth to a flame" game.

………………

Drilling Company, small auditorium.

A banner full of state-owned enterprise colors was hung above the rostrum:

“Brother companies, work together to make progress – welcome all leaders to the follow-up cooperation meeting of the Drilling Company’s pilot tertiary industry project”

Yeah, that's right.

Today is the day for the follow-up cooperation negotiation meeting, and it is also a critical node for whether the Momo Baizha/Momo Baichao project can continue to advance triumphantly.

Of course, people of this era cannot understand the strategic significance of a highly competitive supply chain for a business project.

In their view, the purchase contract for the Momo Baizha project was really a gift from the drilling company, and this so-called negotiation meeting was simply a way for the boss to establish their authority and ask for a token of their loyalty.

There is no way. These days, most state-owned enterprises have become accustomed to "waiting, asking for, and relying on", and few people truly realize the value of their existence.

Tang Tingting, feeling a little nervous, followed her leader into this rather imposing high-ceilinged small auditorium, then looked for her name and sat down in the second to last row on the left.

The scale of this negotiation meeting was quite large. In addition to the original eleven supply units, seven new units were invited - the meaning of this guest configuration was naturally self-evident.

According to convention, for a negotiation meeting of this nature and scale, each unit is allowed to bring 2 to 3 colleagues in addition to the relevant business manager.

Therefore, Tang Tingting, a flower in the Fifth Farm and from the dispatching room, was temporarily transferred to be the accompanying secretary and attended this significant negotiation meeting with her deputy general manager.

amount……

Don't get me wrong, everyone who has worked in a state-owned enterprise knows that in most cases, as long as you don't want, some unspoken rules will not apply to female comrades... Although some people don't believe this, it is indeed true.

The reason why Tang Tingting was selected as the accompanying secretary was not because the vice president of his company had any bad intentions towards her, but it was purely a wonderful misunderstanding that made him think that this beautiful girl might be of great help to this trip. This misunderstanding came from the fat boy Zhang Jun.

As one of the pasta suppliers for the Momo Baizha project, it was not surprising that the Fifth Farm received an invitation to the negotiation meeting.

But the problem was that a few days before receiving the formal invitation, the fat man from the Linpan Oil Refinery suddenly called the general manager of their farm and not only informed him of the situation in advance, but also whispered some things to him.

This is somewhat intriguing.

You know, the Fifth Farm is not the most important partner of the Momo Baizha project, and no one can guarantee whether the names on the invitation list will change until the last day;

Zhang Jun's behavior of locking in advance is undoubtedly telling others that he is aware of this project, which seems to have nothing to do with him at first glance... and he may even have a certain say in it. The reason why he informs you in advance and lets you make some preparations is simply to do you a favor.

Then the problem is coming...

As a subordinate unit with basically no presence, why would the Fifth Farm pay so much attention to this fat guy who works in the Asset Management Department of the Linpan Oil Refinery and whose power both in himself and in his family cannot be underestimated?
After a brief review, the leaders smiled knowingly.

Tang Tingting!
Perhaps only this beautiful woman, who is the most beautiful flower on the farm, could be so important to this fat boy.

It’s no wonder, he’s young and handsome!
Comrade Tang Tingting from our dispatch room is so pretty, it's normal that the other party fell in love with her at first sight at the last social gathering!
As for why the last time I took this beautiful lady to the fat guy's house to give him a gift, the other party was so resistant.

Isn’t this easy to understand?
Young people are thin-skinned, so it’s understandable that they would behave a little awkwardly in front of so many guests in their own home!

So, based on the principle of rather missing out than letting go, Tang Tingting became the accompanying secretary. Along the way, the vice president also behaved quite cordially, asking about her well-being from time to time... If the vice president had not acted like an elder in his words and deeds, and his words and actions did not show any intention of overstepping the boundaries, she almost thought that the other party was planning to take advantage of the young girl.

………………

Sitting down in her seat, Tang Tingting took a deep breath, then took out her notebook and spread it out carefully.

Although she could guess that the leaders had misunderstood something and therefore looked at her differently, it was undeniable that this negotiation meeting was an extremely valuable opportunity for her;
Regardless of whether it was because of her or not, if the cooperation could really be reached this time, the leaders would definitely look upon her with higher regard, and the Fifth Farm would most likely escape the fate of being reorganized. Not only would its own establishment be completely preserved, but there would also be a very high possibility of further advancement.

Thinking of this, Tang Tingting unscrewed the pen, carefully tested the ink flow, then tightened the pen again, and then sat up straight like a student waiting for an exam... Before coming, the deputy general manager had explained that there were major leaders of nearly twenty units sitting in this hall, any one of them was more important than the Fifth Farm, and her every word and action represented the face of the Fifth Farm, so she must not be careless.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch.

14: 49.

Eleven minutes to go.

With a reserved but polite smile, Tang Tingting stared at the door, watching the leaders of the unit entering the auditorium one by one;
The people who came to this negotiation meeting were basically vice presidents and above, and there were even top leaders from a few units. Regardless of whether it was effective or not, it was always good to get vaguely familiar with the crowd.

A certain beautiful lady has such a careful thought.

After half a year of study, she felt that she already understood men very well...

As for men, no matter how polite they appear on the outside, aren't they still that kind of people in the end?
A beauty like myself, no matter whether you have the courage or not, you will always remember her after one look.

As expected, she stared at the entrance so openly, like a hostess, nodding and smiling at every person who came. Many leaders subconsciously looked at her twice more, and some even nodded in response.

Seeing that her bold behavior had paid off, Tang Tingting couldn't help but feel happy.

Just as she was encouraging herself and planning to keep trying, her expression suddenly froze and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

It's not that something happened in the small auditorium.
Everything is normal and tight.

However, a young man who looked somewhat familiar to her appeared at the entrance;
If that was all, it would be fine... After all, there were quite a few young people attending the conference with the leaders, so it was not surprising to see one or two familiar faces.

But the problem is...

That young man was very different. Not only did he not glance in her direction the entire time, but as soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by several people with smiling faces trying to get close to him... Tang Tingting could see clearly that those people were vice presidents of other units, and one of them was even the top leader of a certain unit.

A group of leaders gathered around a young man and showed their courtesy?
Even if the other party is an employee of the drilling company, a central enterprise, it wouldn't be that outrageous, right?

What's even more outrageous is that in the face of a group of leaders who are much older than him, the expression on this young man's face is always indifferent... He is not flattered, nor is he carried away by success. He just responds with a faint smile, as if this is nothing strange.

The key is……

Tang Tingting heard clearly that those leaders either called him "Team Leader Yang" or "Section Chief Yang".
Became a section-level cadre at such a young age! ?
Regardless of the position or title of this section chief, whether he is a section chief or a deputy section chief, this is something that is far beyond the imagination of normal people... You know, the general manager of their farm is only a section chief-level cadre.

hiss~!

Tang Tingting took a breath, and the look she gave the young man became complicated and fiery;
Yang Zhu or Yang Mo?

I think his name is Yang Mo?
Yes, her name is Yang Mo!

She never imagined that the handsome boy who claimed to be a "handyman" at the social gathering, and the peer who had always been indifferent to her, turned out to be such a powerful figure!
Looking at this scene, Tang Tingting's pent-up anger for more than half a year disappeared without a trace;
Right,

How could such a great man possibly look directly at a woman who showed up at a social gathering?
Especially since all the women at that social gathering are shameless, I would look down on them even more!

kindness……

Except myself!

After finding an excuse for herself, Tang Tingting took a deep breath and looked at Yang Mo with eyes that suddenly became watery...
