Chapter Thirteen: Oozing with Weirdness
Mu Yan didn't expect that entering the company would bring him to such an environment. Logically speaking, based on his understanding of Zhang Zhuo, he wouldn't abandon him in a place like this.
After some thought, Mu Yan felt that there must be something going on here, but he believed that Zhang Shuo would definitely find him to clarify the situation within two or three days.
Although he knew this was a cold palace and an old folks' home, Mu Yan didn't care, especially since there was a pretty and delicate girl who looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"Xiao Ling, you and Mu Yan are close in age. For departmental matters, just hand them over to him and take him around the department!"
After introducing everyone, Zhong Jiaqiang handed over the task of accompanying people to Tong Ling, and then he sat back at his desk, staring blankly at the computer.
Others seem to be indifferent, Glasses Hero continues to hold his phone and watch, Cheng Juan holds her phone and plays games, Old Fan and Old Su continue to chat.
Tong Ling seemed to have anticipated this situation, so she stood up and said to Mu Yan: "Mu Yan, let me take you around to get familiar with the environment here. Otherwise, walking back and forth in this place can be a bit dark and easy to trip!"
When he heard this, Mu Yan felt that this little girl named Tong Ling was actually quite kind-hearted, although she also didn't have much hope for the department.
"Good!" Mu Yan smiled and agreed.
Following Tong Ling through the paper walls and shelves, Tong Ling occasionally reminded Mu Yan to be careful of water pipes, exhaust ducts and other things above his head.
As for the work content, it's very simple. The people upstairs need office supplies, and once you've gathered everything, just send it over. In addition, Old Su and Old Fan are electricians, so when something like a light bulb breaks or the air conditioner doesn't cool, they usually let those two go handle it.
Office supplies are usually ordered by noon on the first day and delivered by the next morning. If there is an urgent need, you will need to call Zhong Jiaqiang.
It's now afternoon, Tong Ling has two printed papers in her notebook, which are the "orders" from various departments. Previously, Tong Ling was pushing a small cart by herself to find things.
When he saw this situation, Mu Yan didn't know that in the whole department, only Tong Ling was doing things. Fortunately, the matter wasn't too serious, and when the company was receiving goods, there were also people from the moving company to help, so it wasn't too tiring.
It's just that a little girl who is a bit diligent can do things, and yet she still has to find herself here, the problem inside is even more interesting.
As expected, just after work, Mu Yan hadn't even left the company when he received Zhang Shuo's call. He walked to a big tree several hundred meters away from the company and waited for five minutes before Zhang Shuo's car arrived.
He rolled down the car window and waved at Mu Yan, saying "Mu Yan, get in!"
After getting on the car, Zhang Shuo didn't ask anything, and Mu Yan didn't ask either. Soon, Zhang Shuo took Mu Yan to a not-so-big restaurant.
Because he knew Zhang Shuo was looking for him, Mu Yan had already sent a text message to his mother, so she wouldn't have to wait for him to eat dinner.
"Mr. Zhang, you've arrived! Your private room is ready!"
The restaurant is not very big, but the environment inside is quite good. Zhang Shuo should come here often, so the receptionist is also very familiar with him.
The private room is not very big, but it's enough for ten people to have a meal here. Just the two of us, Zhang Shuo and I, it's a bit wasteful.
After sitting down, Zhang Shuo picked up the menu and handed it directly to Mu Yan, smiling and saying: "Mu Yan, my younger brother, order whatever you like, I'm treating today."
Knowing that Zhang Shuo had arranged himself in such a place, he must have something to do for himself, so Mu Yan didn't bother with courtesy and ordered several dishes he liked.
Because Zhang Shuo was driving, he didn't order wine and instead ordered a bottle of fruit juice.
The dishes were quickly served, and after the waiter left, Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Mu, it seems you've already figured it out?"
"Zhang Ge is a straightforward person, I don't think you're the kind of person who would cheat others, and you specifically found me to talk about this, it's already very clear what's going on." Mu Yan said.
"Haha, originally I was going to find a better place for my brother, but after learning about his background, I had other plans. Since things were urgent, I didn't have time to discuss it with him, so I took the liberty of making arrangements. Please don't mind, younger brother. Of course, if you're not satisfied, as your older brother, I can immediately change your environment for a better one!" Zhang Shuo said, patting his chest.
"Zhang Ge, let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. What exactly do you want me to do?" Mu Yan said directly.
"Haha, Mu Laoxiong is so generous, a good elder brother wouldn't keep secrets from his younger brother. Do you know the current situation of our group?" Zhang Shuo asked.
Mu Yan shook his head and said: "I've only heard of Fenghua Group before, but I'm not sure what it's like."
"I'll explain a bit, the founder of Fenghua Group is Su Qiming. More than 30 years ago when the country just opened up, General Su started building Fenghua Company and after half a lifetime, he finally achieved what it is today. Seven years ago, General Su had health problems and his son was not capable of taking over yet, so after careful consideration, he arranged for his son to marry the daughter of the former vice mayor of Donghai City, which stabilized the company. However, who would have thought that soon after General Su left, his son's pregnant wife also left." Zhang Shuo let out a sigh of frustration at this point.
"Who is the current president of the company, Mrs. So-and-so?" Mu Yan asked.
"Not bad, now the president of the company is Yu Jing, also known as Young Madam. I entered the company when I was in my teens and relied on President Su's favor for over 20 years to reach my current high position. Although President Yu took over as president, those shameless people from the Su family thought that since there are only two people left in President Su's household now - an elderly person and a young girl - they could take over the family property."
"In the past, when Yu's father was still in power, they didn't dare to do anything. Now that Yu's father has retired, they've started causing trouble. They don't even think about where they were when Su started from scratch - they all came crawling to Su after he became successful, a bunch of trash. I advised Su before not to be too good to those relatives, but in the end, blood is thicker than water. There's no way to deal with their family affairs!"
Mu Yan knew at first glance that Zhang Chuo was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and now it seemed to be the case. He had a better impression of him and asked without hesitation: "Zhang Ge, what do you need me to do?"
"Zhong Jiaqiang is Su Zong's younger cousin, who was brought in by Su Qiliang many years ago. He used to help Su Qiliang with things, but later because of some matters, he was demoted to the Resource Allocation Department by Su Qiliang. However, this guy also has a bit of brains, and it seems that he has something in his hands that is very unfavorable to Su Qiliang. I think if you go there and can get these things into your hands, it will be of great help in solving these problems!" Zhang Shuo directly stated his purpose.
