C1149 Contractor of the Kiosk
"Boss Qiu, I've found a few dozens of contractors for the newsstands and have roughly figured out what's going on." Last night, all the contractors at the newsstands in the city area were greeted by people who said they were manufacturers and marketers of sex products, who said they wanted to sell new products in the Hsinghai market. In order to make a market, they wanted these newsstands to sell their products, and in order to increase the effect, they promised the contractors at the newsstands that as long as they started to sell their products in the newsstands tomorrow, they would provide all of their products free of charge within three days, and all of their sales and little income would belong to them. After three days, they would supply according to the wholesale price.
Such preferential measures had lured the owners of many newsstands, and many people wanted to take advantage of them. For them, this was like a pie falling from the heavens, many people agreed to it, and there were also some newsstands' managers who knew that there was going to be an opening meeting today. Although some leaders came to visit, there were still quite a few people who agreed, and the majority of these people did not know that there would be an opening meeting today. That's the general picture. "
"Fourth Brother, who are those people that are promoting sexual health products?" I asked.
"I don't know." "These people didn't leave any contact numbers for the newsagent. They just said that they would deliver the goods to them when the time comes." "I'm investigating the identities of these people through some channels," Fourth Brother said.
"Anything else?" "No," I said.
"Temporarily. "No more!" Fourth Brother said.
Qiu Tong said, "Alright, Fourth Brother, you've worked hard. Let's do it like this!"
Fourth Brother hung up.
Qiu Tong and Yun looked at me.
I fell into deep thought.
Was it a coincidence that, on the eve of a forthcoming meeting, these peddlers of sex products suddenly popped up, offered the newsagents free of charge, and lured these people with pie from the sky?
No, no, this was definitely not an accident. Someone must have deliberately done this.
So who did it? What was the purpose of this?
I frowned and thought.
Qiu Tong frowned as she pondered.
I thought about Wu De's sudden visit to Qiu Tong the other day, about Cao Teng's sudden leave of absence, about how Publisher was hit yesterday when he was hit by an unlicensed car. He even escaped after being hit.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in my mind. Damn it, I was tricked by Wu De.
Obviously, Wu De's sudden visit to Qiu Tong was to release the smoke screen bomb of harmonious unity, paralyzing Qiu Tong and me.
After that, he resorted to trying to lure the tiger out of the mountains by attacking in the east, getting Cao Teng to request a leave of absence, getting rid of this matter, pushing all the responsibilities towards me, and then causing a car accident at Zhuang River. He transferred me out of the Hsinghai, preventing me from continuing my work at the meeting and making it too late for me to attend to this side.
He then arranged for people to contact the owner of the kiosk and use a hefty sum of money to lure a group of small businessmen who had seen no profit and had them publicly sell these sex products today for the purpose of ruining the meeting.
The moment the situation goes awry, the city will be held accountable for it. The one who should bear the brunt of the blame is me. I was the direct preparatory to the meeting and was responsible for the accident. At the same time, Qiu Tong was in charge, so she was equally responsible. And there was Sun Dongkai. He was the leader of the group, so he also couldn't get away with it.
In other words, Wu De wanted me to fuck Sun Dongkai at the same time. He definitely wouldn't let Sun Dongkai know about it, not even Cao Lee. However, Cao Teng seemed to know about it, or perhaps he knew part of Wu De's conspiracy, but he didn't tell anyone.
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. F * cking Wu De, he attacked me consecutively, even though he had just set fire to the Sanshui Group factory area and attacked me without stopping, this was a series of attacks by him.
I didn't even notice that he had fallen into his trap and was now being led around by him.
I felt so stifled and helpless, so frustrated, that I clenched my fists and punched myself hard on the sofa.
Qiu Tong looked at me as if she sensed something, but didn't say anything.
Clouds looked at me in confusion. Naturally, she didn't know what I was thinking.
I grit my teeth, feeling very angry and very upset at the same time.
She looked up at Qiu Tong, who was watching me silently.
I remembered what she had said, and it occurred to me that the immediate priority was not to be upset or angry, but rather to solve the problem of how the afternoon would unfold.
Wu De did some despicable things, but I can only think that it was him, but there is no proof that he did it. Since Wu De dared to do this, he must have thought of a plan for himself. He won't be caught by me or anyone else.
If the afternoon was going to be full, then my guilt was even greater, and I didn't even dare to imagine what would happen next.
He had never heard of such a failure in a provincial venue. Not only did it fail, but he had also never heard of anyone at the municipal or county level.
This kind of thing happened to me.
Of course, it was all thanks to Wu De that I met him.
I think it was Wu De who made this up, but I can't get rid of it. I can't prove Wu De to anyone. It looks like I am truly at a loss for this mute.
"Have you thought of a solution?" I asked Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong didn't directly answer me. "Let's go to the Leader's side to take a look."
I nodded.
Qiu Tong said to Yun Xiao, "Yun, go back first and continue to do your work according to the rules. Don't overthink things."
Clouds looked worriedly at Qiu Tong and me.
Qiu Tong suddenly smiled and patted Yun Yun's shoulder. "It's fine. Nothing will happen to you. You can rest assured."
Qiu Tong was obviously comforting Yun Yun; her words sounded weak and feeble.
Clouds nodded in concern.
Then, Qiu Tong and I went to the other room and pushed the door open. Smoke filled the room, and everyone in the province was there. Vice Secretary, Deputy Permanent Secretary, and Sun Dongkai were also sitting inside. Everyone was smoking, and their faces were all gloomy.
When they saw us come in, no one spoke and they all looked at me strangely.
I became the focus of their attention.
Qiu Tong and I sat on the sofa near the door, watching them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Deputy Permanent Secretary said.
It was as if he really didn't want to see Qiu Tong and me, especially me.
In the way he looked at me, I saw extreme disgust.
No matter how much he hates me, I have to come.
Qiu Tong said with a calm expression, "Boss Yi and I would like to ask the Leader if the meeting room will proceed as planned."
At this point, Qiu Tong stopped.
Everyone looked at each other, then Deputy Permanent Secretary and Sun Dongkai looked at Vice Secretary.
Since Vice Secretary was their leader here, they naturally had to see him.
As for the other people in the province, they were all looking at the vice minister and head of the civil affairs office, who was in charge of the provincial council's Ministry of Propaganda.
He was the biggest official from the province, so of course they had to listen to him.
Then, Vice Secretary said, "It will be hosted by the province. Please let the provincial leaders decide."
The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Propaganda said, "Is this supposed to be held at the Hsinghai level, or should we first listen to the city's thoughts."
"No, let's invite the provincial leaders to propose something first."
"Let's talk about it in the city first."
The two of them were trying to convince each other that they didn't want to be the first one to fire the first shot. They didn't want to take any responsibility.
After nagging for a long time, the man from the province said, "Since you want me to go first, then I'll tell you what I think. After all these years, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. A great meeting has now become a hot potato, and has become a meat pinch. As for who exactly is responsible for this, I don't think I'll talk about it here.
It was clear that he meant to denounce the city, to show that at this point the responsibility was in the city and had nothing to do with them.
Vice Secretary looked at me but didn't say anything. He then nodded.
He accepted it.
Then the man in the province went on: "Of course, there must be someone responsible for this, and as to who is responsible and how to pursue it, that is the next step. The immediate priority now is to reach agreement on what to do at the afternoon meeting.
The morning match was undoubtedly a failure. Then, how would the afternoon meeting be held? Whether to continue as originally planned or to temporarily change the subject of the meeting, and if so, whether it is feasible or not, and if so, how to change the subject of the meeting. "Please ask the comrades in the city to think about it."
Vice Secretary looked at Deputy Permanent Secretary. "According to the original plan, what are the meetings afternoon and the city's agenda?"
Deputy Permanent Secretary said: "There was one of your talks, as well as the introduction for the person in charge of Hsinghai and the person in charge of group Issuing Company."
Vice Secretary looked at Sun Dongkai and me and then started to ponder.
After a while, Vice Secretary said, "In my opinion, of course, the meeting will be held according to the original topic."
The provincial one said, "Do you think it's feasible? What would the result of the morning visit, the presentation of the afternoon experience, and your speech be like? Even if they did not say it publicly, would they discuss it in private? Would he have any thoughts? Returning to their respective cities and spreading the news, what kind of negative impact will it bring to the Hsinghai? "
When Vice Secretary heard this, he looked a little embarrassed. He then glared fiercely at Deputy Permanent Secretary and Sun Dongkai, as if he was furious and didn't want to argue with them.
Deputy Permanent Secretary and Sun Dongkai's expression became uneasy and they glared at me together. There was a hidden bitterness in Sun Dongkai's eyes, but there was also resentment in Deputy Permanent Secretary's eyes.
Vice Secretary continued: "Then. The provincial leader meant to change the subject of the meeting. If so, how do we do it? "
The man from the province seemed to be very cautious on this topic. He said, "This requires everyone to come up with an opinion. After the agreement is reached, I will report it to the province. You all report it to the city. Everyone agrees before deciding on how to implement it."
With that said, everyone became silent again, as if no one wanted to speak first.
The situation was in a deadlock.
Time passed second by second.
I glanced at Qiu Tong, who was frowning and blinking.
She seemed to have her own thoughts.
After a while, Qiu Tong spoke up, "Leaders, I have an immature idea. Let me report it to everyone."
Everyone looked at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong said, "Our newsagent business has always been very good, and during the founding of the city, we even made an important contribution to the city. When the provincial newspaper association leaders came to inspect, they all saw it, and it has always been very formal and normal.
Qiu Tong's words seemed to liberate the leaders of the city and the provincial press conference. Vice Secretary and the provincial press conference leaders nodded in agreement.
Qiu Tong continued, "But the results of today's on-site visit was beyond our expectations, and the results had disappointed the leaders. As for the cause, we are unable to find out for a while, and of course, this is not the most urgent matter at the moment, but I am the main organizer for this meeting, so I will take full responsibility for it."
"Who should be held responsible is not the top priority. Boss Qiu, tell me what you think first." Vice Secretary interrupted Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong continued, "In a situation where the results of this morning's visit have become unchangeable, I do not think it is appropriate to change the subject of the meeting."
Everyone looked at Qiu Tong.0
