Chapter 666: Young Factory Manager

Ever since the negotiators from Japan's Tosoh Corporation withdrew from the Donghai Chemical Plant, Suning discovered that both Han Zegang and Ma Baoping seemed to have aged several years. They could no longer muster the necessary interest in doing anything, and Ma Baoping, the deputy director in charge of personnel, even asked for leave every few days. This was a serious case of passive sabotage, so Suning prepared to resolve the knot between the two of them as soon as possible.

Su Ning specifically called Han Zegang to her office and began her "intimate big sister" comforting mode. Su Kaiyue was doing homework at a small table nearby. She looked up at the angry "Uncle Han" in surprise and said, "Director Han, your work performance has not been good recently. Is your sister-in-law having a conflict with you again?"

"No! We have a very good relationship." Han Zegang, who was angry, couldn't help but sound very stiff when he spoke.

"Oh? So, Mr. Han, you are still thinking about the Japanese Tosoh Company?" Seeing Han Zegang with a look of displeasure on his face, Suning went straight to the point and asked Han Zegang.

"..." Han Zegang didn't expect that Suning would no longer avoid talking about this issue, but he still felt very unhappy in his heart.

Looking at the silent Han Zegang in front of him, Su Ning had already understood everything. He then explained to the man in front of him earnestly, "Han Factory, for our Donghai Chemical Plant, whether it is Japan's Tosoh Company or the United States' Roda Chemical, there is essentially no difference."

"Director, I know what you said, but we made such great efforts in the early stage, and I always feel uncomfortable when I see that it is all wasted." Although he understood what Suning said, Han Zegang still stubbornly believed that he was uncomfortable.

"Director Han, how about this? I'll approve a few days of leave for you, and then you can accompany your sister-in-law on a seven-day tour to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It can be considered a relaxation from the high-intensity work of the past few days." Su Ning suddenly took out an envelope and placed it in front of Han Zegang. Inside was the tour ticket and round-trip air tickets for a luxury tour group to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

"Huh? Director, this isn't a good idea, is it?" Han Zegang was clearly tempted, but he looked at Su Ning hesitantly and said, "Director, our Donghai Chemical Plant is currently at a critical juncture, and if I were to go on a company-funded trip like this, it would seem a bit unkind."

"Director Han, we have no say in the negotiations between Director Song and that loud-mouthed American girl. Don't you see that even I'm staying away from you? Why don't you just go out and have fun with your sister-in-law?" Suning said to the hesitant Han Zegang with indifference.

"Alright! Then I'll just treat it as an inspection trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand." Han Zegang couldn't help but smile in surprise. He no longer felt depressed or frustrated. Instead, he had already put all those negative emotions behind him. "By the way, Director, that American girl doesn't have a big mouth. She looks like a girl in her early twenties. She's very pretty."

"Oh? Mr. Han, stop talking to me about American girls here. You'd better go home and pack your luggage with your sister-in-law." Su Ning teased Han Zegang with some indifference. He had seen Liang Sisen's big sausage mouth in the original drama before.

"Hehe, Director, I will definitely bring gifts for you and the junior director." Han Zegang, who was in a good mood, immediately noticed Su Kaiyue standing beside him, and called out the "nickname" that Donghai Factory gave to Su Kaiyue.

"Hyatt, why don't you thank Uncle Han quickly." Su Ning said with a smile to his stunned son Su Kaiyue.

"Thank you, Uncle Han."

"Hehe, our little factory manager is so well behaved."

Seeing Han Zegang couldn't contain his surprise and went traveling, Suning couldn't help but feel relieved. In fact, Suning wanted to arrange for Han Zegang to help Song Yunhui negotiate with American Roda Chemical, but he was worried that Song Yunhui's negotiations with American Roda would fail. He was worried that Han Zegang would not be able to withstand such frequent and heavy blows. You know, you can't catch someone and beat him too hard, otherwise it will really make these people desperate.

Although he had dealt with the tech geek Han Zegang, Suning was worried about the more troublesome Ma Baoping. He bought some seasonal fruits and brought his son Su Kaiyue to visit the home of Deputy Factory Director Ma Baoping.

Seeing that it was Ma Baoping's daughter who opened the door for him, Su Ning quickly smiled and greeted her, saying, "Miss Ma, we meet again."

"Director Su, please come in." Ma Youyou was a little surprised to see Su Ning and his son, and then she quickly smiled and let them in. "Director Su, this is your son Su Kaiyue, right?"

"Yes! My son Su Kaiyue." At this time, Su Ning smiled and nodded, then said to Su Kaiyue, "Kaiyue, quickly call Youyou sister."

"Hello, Sister Youyou!"

"Ah? Kaiyue is so well behaved!" Ma Youyou pinched Su Kaiyue's little face with some surprise, and suddenly felt that Su Kaiyue, who was like a "little adult", was extremely cute.

"Ms. Ma, I heard that Ma Chang has been feeling unwell recently, so I brought Hyatt to visit him." At this time, Suning handed over the seasonal fruits he brought, and then asked Ma Youyou with a puzzled smile.

"Thank you, Director Su. My dad just has a common cold. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"Oh! It's Director Su?" Ma Baoping's current wife came out of the kitchen. Seeing that it was Su Ning and his son who came to visit Ma Baoping, she immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Old Ma, Director Su and his son are here to see you."

"Sister-in-law, are you cooking?" Looking at Ma Baoping's second wife in front of him, Suning smiled and nodded to her.

"Yes! Director Su, you two can stay for dinner later," Ma Baoping's wife took the initiative to invite Suning.

"Okay! Then today, my father and I will also try your cooking skills, sister-in-law."

"Director, you're here?" It was only then that Ma Baoping walked out unsteadily, and it was obvious that he looked much older to Suning.

"Haiyue, can I take you to play somewhere else?" Seeing Su Ning and Ma Baoping go to the study to talk, Ma Youyou quickly took the initiative to take Su Kaiyue away.

"Thank you sister."

After Ma Youyou took her son Su Kaiyue away, Su Ning turned to look at Ma Baoping and said, "Ma Chang, before coming to your place again, I have arranged for Lao Han to go out for a trip."

"Oh? Director, now that you have considered everything so thoroughly, I can leave with peace of mind." Ma Baoping looked at Suning in surprise, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile and depression, suddenly realizing that he could not beat this young man at all.

"Ma Chang, why are you so depressed? I think it's totally unnecessary."

"Director, were you inclined to cooperate with American Roda Chemical from the beginning?" Seeing Suning coming to him on its own initiative, Ma Baoping finally couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"Ma Chang, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Suning did not answer Ma Baoping directly, but asked him a meaningful question.

"Huh? Director, of course it's true." Ma Baoping looked at Suning in front of him with some surprise.

"Ma Chang, the truth is that I am only considering purchasing equipment directly for the second phase of the expansion project. The negotiations between you and Han Zegang with Japan's Tosoh Company, as well as Song Yunhui's negotiations with the American Roda Chemical, are actually just smokescreens for the Donghai Chemical Plant. They are just props to better negotiate with the equipment supplier."

"What? Factory Director, you even tricked Song Yunhui?" After understanding Suning's real intention, Ma Baoping widened his eyes in shock.

"Ma Chang, I beg to differ with what you said." Looking at the shocked Ma Baoping in front of him, Suning retorted with some disapproval, "For the development and future of Donghai Chemical Plant, I am also willing to make sacrifices myself, so I believe you should understand my good intentions."

"Director, I finally know where I am inferior to you. I simply don't have your determination to go all out." Ma Baoping suddenly looked at Suning with a wry smile, and then said to Suning with deep emotion.

"Mr. Ma, now that you know my plan, shouldn't you go back to work with peace of mind?" No matter what, Mr. Zhou is standing behind Ma Baoping, and Suning can't do anything too embarrassing. It is important to ensure the harmony of the leadership team of Donghai Chemical Plant.

"Director, do Director Zhou and Director Lu from the Chemical Headquarters also know about your plan?" Ma Baoping looked at Suning again without commenting and asked.

"Machang, without the support of our superiors, it would be impossible for us to achieve anything here."

"Director, I will be back to work tomorrow and will definitely help you complete this plan." Hearing that his old leader Zhou Si also knew about this plan, Ma Baoping immediately mustered up the courage to assure Suning.

"Well, Mr. Ma, our Donghai Chemical Plant has a very good foundation. As long as we complete the second phase of the expansion project as scheduled, we will be in a true take-off mode." Seeing that Ma Baoping had truly positioned himself correctly, Suning smiled and looked at Ma Baoping in front of him and said, "Old Ma, please bear witness to the chemical industry of our Donghai Chemical Plant! This will be the thing that we are most proud of."

Su Ning and Ma Baoping talked alone in the study for a long time. Ma Youyou took Su Kaiyue to the living room to watch the popular "Journey to the West". Then she smiled and said to Su Kaiyue, "Kaiyue, you watch TV here first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look, okay?"

"Sister Youyou, don't worry about me."

"Well! Kaiyue is so good." Ma Youyou touched Su Kaiyue's head with a smile, then got up and went to the kitchen.

When Ma Youyou arrived in the kitchen, she looked at her busy stepmother and asked her with a puzzled look on her face, "Auntie, hasn't my dad always been very good in the chemical industry? Why is he always suppressed by this young Suning?"

"Hey! Youyou, this is the thing that makes your father feel most depressed, so he is very reluctant to mention this to you and your daughter. He just doesn't want you to worry about him." Ma Baoping's second wife sighed helplessly.

"Ah? Auntie, is this Suning really that powerful?" At this time, Ma Youyou couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. She felt that this Suning was just a handsome big boy, but she didn't expect that Suning's methods and abilities were so powerful.

"Youyou, when the decision was first made to set up the Donghai Chemical Plant, your dad's old boss, Director Zhou, had actually already appointed him as the general. However, he was suddenly snatched away by Su Ning, who was working at the chemical headquarters at the time. In the end, your dad could only serve as Su Ning's deputy, feeling frustrated. After your dad arrived at the Donghai Chemical Plant to take up his post, he had no say in the day-to-day affairs. Even your dad's old boss, Director Zhou, gradually disliked him."

"Ah? Auntie, you can't judge a book by its cover! Suning looks like a harmless boy." Ma Youyou couldn't help but be astonished after hearing her stepmother's concise introduction.

"Youyou, actually, when your dad comes home, he usually doesn't like to talk about things at work. He just feels that this job is too frustrating." In fact, as a family member, they can understand Ma Baoping's frustration, and they are all very understanding and considerate of Ma Baoping.

"Auntie, what's going on with Suning's son? I heard that he doesn't seem to be married?" At this time, Ma Youyou couldn't help but ask her doubts.

"Huh? I'm not sure exactly! At the Donghai Chemical Plant, Su Ning has the best relationship with Song Yunhui and another deputy director named Fang Ping. He's always been very secretive about his family affairs, but not long ago, he suddenly brought his son to Donghai to attend school."

"Auntie, hasn't my dad investigated Suning?" Ma Youyou suddenly felt a little unbelievable. After all, she had seen too many institutional means since she was a child.

"How could there not be one? He even went all the way to the capital to report to Director Zhou, only to be scolded by Director Zhou."

After hearing her stepmother's introduction, Ma Youyou felt even more curious. She suddenly felt that Su Ning was really mysterious, and mystery is often the most attractive characteristic for women. Ma Youyou couldn't help but start paying attention to Su Ning and his son.

...Now Xiao Ran has started to cooperate with Su Zi Hyatt Company, and he and Liang Da have also established a certain "friendship" with Song Li. However, the real estate business of Su Zi Hyatt Company was suddenly transferred to a man named Lei Dongbao. Xiao Ran and Liang Da were both confused.

"Mr. Song, what's going on? Why did the person in charge suddenly change?" Xiao Ran came to Song Li with a confused look on his face, wanting to find out if something went wrong.

"Mr. Xiao, these are just normal job transfers in the company. Mr. Xiao and Mr. Liang, you don't need to think too much about it." Song Li explained to Xiao Ran and the others indifferently.

"Mr. Song, will you only be responsible for your company's hotel business in the future?" Liang Da on the side looked at Song Li in disbelief and asked.

"Yes! But no matter what, I am still the general manager of Su Zi Hyatt. In fact, I can inquire about other aspects of the business." Song Li explained to the two of them vaguely, and was also a little repulsive to Lei Dongbao who suddenly joined Su Zi Hyatt.

Xiao Ran and Liang Da looked at each other in surprise, and they both saw the helplessness and wry smiles in each other's eyes. "Mr. Song, we have never heard of this Lei Dongbao before. How did he suddenly appear?"

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Lei is a talent invited by our boss himself. His way of doing things is completely different from mine, but he is still very firm on the bottom line. So I hope that Mr. Xiao and Mr. Liang can calm down." Looking at Xiao Ran and Liang Da who were a little clever, Song Li couldn't help but remind them, and was also worried that the two of them would cause trouble.

After hearing Song Li's reminder, Xiao Ran and Liang Da both felt a little uneasy. In the past, they had some thoughts of purchasing inferior building materials as good ones, but now they had to temporarily restrain their greed. After all, they had not yet figured out Lei Dongbao's tricks.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Liang, the building project in Shanghai Pudong and the community project in Donghai are mutually beneficial to both of us. No matter who is in charge of Suzi Hyatt's real estate business, we will continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with you two." Looking at the two people in front of him with different expressions, Song Li couldn't help but smile and comfort them.

"Huh? Mr. Song has a point."

Since Suning appeased Han Zegang and Ma Baoping respectively, the Donghai Chemical Plant has returned to peace and unity. The negotiations between Song Yunhui and Liang Sishen have also entered a critical moment and gradually entered a truly intense stage.

"Director, I want to speed up the negotiation between our Donghai Chemical Plant and American Roda Chemical?" One day Song Yunhui suddenly found Suning and explained.

"Director Song, do you have any ideas?" Suning looked up at Song Yunhui in front of him with some surprise.

"Director, I would like to request that the negotiation materials between our Donghai Chemical Plant and Japan's Tosoh Company be handed over to the negotiation representatives of the American Roda Chemical Company. This will also allow American Roda Chemical Company to see the sincerity of our Donghai Chemical Plant." Song Yunhui was fed up with the endless bickering and was ready for a real "all-in".

"No! This involves specific commercial secrets. It's a time bomb that can explode at any time." Suning directly rejected Song Yunhui's application, feeling that this loophole must not be opened. Even if it is discussed in the meeting, they will still be responsible in the end. "If this bomb really explodes, it's really hard to say who will be killed first."

"Suning, we have to catch up for the future of Donghai Chemical Plant, and it is also necessary to take some unconventional measures." Seeing that Suning actually rejected his application, Song Yunhui was really anxious at this time.

"Song Yunhui, I won't say anything more. Your application will not be approved by me."

"Suning, I didn't expect you to be so timid." Song Yunhui looked at Suning in front of him with anger. He felt that he was particularly disappointed with Suning today. He was no longer the business partner who was intertwined with his soul. "It seems that you have been the factory director for too long and have forgotten our original intention."

"Huh?" Seeing Song Yunhui so furious was something Suning had not expected.

After Song Yunhui angrily slammed the door and left, Su Ning shook his head with a helpless smile. He didn't expect that after working with Song Yunhui for so long, the first conflict would be so inexplicable and intense. He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Thinking of Song Yunhui's way of doing things without giving up until he achieves his goal, Suning immediately picked up the phone on the table and called Liu Yuhai, the deputy factory director in charge of finance, and Ma Baoping, who was in charge of personnel, and asked them to seal up the negotiation materials between Donghai Chemical Plant and Japan, and no one was allowed to use or review them at will.

The preventive measures taken by Suning in advance were still very necessary. After Song Yunhui left Suning's factory director's office, he immediately found Liu Yuhai, the deputy factory director in charge of finance. "Director Liu, please give the negotiation materials between us and Japan's Tosoh Company to the negotiation representatives of the American Roda Chemical Company for review."

"I'm sorry! Director Song, the factory director has just sealed these materials." Liu Yuhai refused to Song Yunhui in confusion.

"what?"

"Director Song, I know you are very anxious now, but there are some things that cannot be done absolutely." Looking at Song Yunhui who was acting unscrupulously, Liu Yuhai, who had always been like a little transparent, couldn't help but remind him.

Song Yunhui, who was unwilling to give up, also went to find Ma Baoping, and got the same answer from Ma Baoping. Song Yunhui then realized that the Donghai Chemical Plant had been run by Suning and was completely different from his original ideal city. For the first time, he had different thoughts in his mind.

"Mr. Song, where are the negotiation documents between your Donghai Factory and Japan's Tosoh Company that you promised us?" Liang Sishen looked at Song Yunhui, who returned empty-handed, with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm sorry! Liang Sishen, our factory director has sealed the information." Song Yunhui explained to Liang Sishen with some distress.

"Suning? Does he really not think highly of our negotiations?" Liang Sishen couldn't help but look at Song Yunhui in front of him with some surprise and asked. She always felt that the director of the Donghai Factory was weird.

"No! The factory director was worried that it involved the commercial secrets of both parties, and was also worried that he would not be able to explain to Japan's Tosoh Company, so he rejected my request for review." However, no matter how sharp the internal contradictions were, Song Yunhui still knew his true identity.

"Hmph! Mr. Song, I didn't expect your Donghai Factory to be so insincere."

"."

……

Because today is Saturday, Suning took his son Su Kaiyue to the Children's Palace, and then saw Dr. Tao and her son waiting for the bus at a bus stop, and then parked the car next to Dr. Tao and her son.

"Doctor Tao, are you going to the Children's Palace?" Suning rolled down the window of his SUV and asked Doctor Tao who was waiting for the car.

"Director Su, I took Taotao to the Children's Palace for extra lessons." Doctor Tao looked at Su Ning with a sweet smile and explained.

"Doctor Tao, then please get in the car! Let's go to the Children's Palace together."

"Thank you, Su Chang."

Su Kaiyue is about the same age as Dr. Tao's son Taotao. They often go to the Children's Palace and soon become good playmates. Su Ning and Dr. Tao became familiar with each other through their visits, and it was easy for them to learn about each other's situation.

"Doctor Tao, how come you have time to send Taotao off today?" Suning looked at Doctor Tao who was sitting in the passenger seat with a smile. Suddenly, he felt that Doctor Tao exuded an intellectual beauty all over his body. Perhaps it was because Suning had been single for too long this time.

"Haha, I'm taking a day off today, so I let his grandma have a day off."

"Well, Dr. Tao, being a doctor is really hard for you."

"Director Su, it was thanks to you that you greeted the leaders of our hospital last time. Otherwise, our hospital would not have allocated a house to me so quickly." Doctor Tao suddenly remembered Su Ning's help not long ago, and said to Su Ning with a grateful face.

"Haha, you're welcome! It's just a small favor for me."

"Director Su, your little help has really helped us a lot."

"Doctor Tao, if you're still relatively well-off, I suggest you buy a house. There's still a lot of room for future appreciation."

"Oh? Director Su, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes! The current housing prices are really dirt cheap."

Soon Suning's SUV arrived at the Children's Palace. Suning and Dr. Tao sent their sons to their respective tutoring classes, and then sat on the benches in the corridor outside. The two suddenly felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more awkward.

"Director Su, why have I never met Hyatt's mother?" The embarrassed Dr. Tao asked Su Ning for some unknown reason.

"Haiyue's mother is no longer with us. She passed away from illness a few years ago."

"Ah? Then didn't you find another one in Suchang?"

"Doctor Tao, when I feel I can't shoulder the responsibility, I can only remind myself not to act impulsively."

"Director Su, I don't quite understand what you're thinking." Doctor Tao looked at the man in front of him with some surprise.

"Doctor Tao, that means I don't want to get married yet, so I won't mess with other girls."

"Yes! Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city are desperately trying to get in, while people inside the city want to escape." Dr. Tao, who had a failed marriage himself, quickly understood what Su Ning meant.

"Haha, Doctor Tao, the concept in our country is relatively conservative. If you don't get married just for the sake of dating, others will definitely think you are a hooligan."

"Uh" Dr. Tao couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Suning's sudden joke.
