Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 169 Undercurrent
After getting the vice-principal's promise, Xu Chen and three other classmates came out of the comprehensive building.

Xu Chen walked in front, and the three people behind him looked at his back with strange expressions.

Just now in the vice-principal's office, Xu Chen's strong attitude when talking to the vice-principal still surprised the three students.

Even a faint fear...

After all, they were just 18-year-old high school students, and the person opposite them was a highly respected and superior vice-president.

And Xu Chen's attitude in the "negotiation" just now was strong, decisive, tough and firm.

They never thought that Xu Chen, who always sat quietly in the back row of the classroom and rarely laughed or made noise like other boys, could be so brave.

They had never imagined that students could speak to a vice-president like this.

What was even more speechless and surprising was that the vice principal was not angry at all. Instead, he showed timidity in front of Xu Chen.

This was certainly not because of Xu Chen's outward strength, but because of his predictions and operations...

Recordings of four people, reporting emails sent in advance, statements made by reporters, and well-reasoned responses on the scene.

The three students following Xu Chen couldn't help but think to themselves that they really couldn't do what Xu Chen had done.

No wonder he got the first place in the exam.

Maybe the dozen or so students in the class were just pretending...

……

When he reached the school gate, Xu Chen stopped, turned to look at the three people, and said with a smile:

"Now that the matter is settled, I will go back first...

Have a great summer vacation! "

A girl timidly said:

"Xu Chen, thank you...

If it weren't for you, I would never have changed my choice.

After all, my parents believed what the head teacher said..."

"Yes, I really want to thank you Xu Chen.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little scared. Actually, I was persuaded yesterday.

Now that I think about it, there is a high chance that I will be rejected after changing my application. ”……

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing more. After saying goodbye again, he left.

……

……

Xu Chen went back to the company first and put down his backpack and computer.

Father Xu Zhiquan went out for a social event, and Fang Jun was the only one in the company.

The contract with Guangming Factory is about to be signed. Teacher Fang is sorting out Dongchen’s current financial accounts and has been very busy these days.

Xu Chen washed some fruits and brought them to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then he noticed Xu Chen coming over.

"Thanks……"

Xu Chen chewed an apple and smiled obediently.

Yang Congxin has been in the factory area of the town these days, helping his third uncle Zhang Yongqing tinker with seedling samples, and he is enjoying it.

Of course, this was also Xu Zhiquan's deliberate arrangement...

According to the established plan, after taking over the machinery factory, the existing employees of the machinery factory will be arranged to transition to the nursery company first.

While helping the nursery company solve the problem of labor shortage, it also provides some salary income to the machinery factory employees.

But both father and son anticipated that some of these skilled workers would doubt or even resist going to the fields to do farm work.

Then Yang Congxin, the former technical line supervisor, is a good example and proof.

Director Yang was able to quickly get started with seedling planting, which can help dispel concerns and set a good example.

……

Xu Chen had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he took the bus back to town and went to the driving school to practice driving.

Although his muscle memory of driving in his previous life has been awakened, in order to take the second driving test, he needs to use driving videos to complete the "training time".

When the coach saw that it was Xu Chen, he found a car for him and let him drive around the training ground by himself to record a training video.

Obviously, after seeing Xu Chen drive twice, the coach no longer had any doubts about his driving skills. After handing the car to him, he went on to teach other students with peace of mind.

When Xu Chen was halfway through his driving practice, Feng Qingqing appeared on the training ground, fully armed and wearing a set of sun protection clothing.

Xu Chen wanted to hide, but Feng Qingqing saw him at a glance.

The mayor's daughter greeted the coach, then ran over and insisted on getting into Xu Chen's car.

Xu Chen was a little helpless, but he could only train her for a while.

Xu Chen sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, put his right foot on the passenger brake, and acted as a coach.

Feng Qingqing looked very happy to be guided by Xu Chen.

After the car drove for a few minutes, Xu Chen slammed on the brakes several times and was speechless.

He thought about it, the coach handed Feng Qingqing to him, a student without a driver's license, right? !

……

During the driving practice, Xu Chen received a call from Vice President Zhao Xuelian, who informed Xu Chen of the preliminary handling results of the school committee.

The class teacher Zhang Liqun has been suspended.

However, the specific punishment measures still need to wait for the response from the Education Bureau.

In addition, the school will re-examine and revise the "reward system for class teachers and subject teachers" for senior high school students.

Only then did Xu Chen confirm that the school did have relevant incentive policies.

For example, if there is a 985-ranked student in the class, the head teacher will indeed receive corresponding rewards, etc...

Vice President Zhao Xuelian carefully and indirectly expressed to Xu Chen his request not to contact reporters.

In this situation, Xu Chen also understood that it was time to stop, so he made a vague promise at the right time.

……

While taking a break to drink water, Feng Qingqing asked about the college entrance examination choices.

Xu Chen did not hide anything and told the truth.

When she heard about Tonghai University, Feng Qingqing still showed an expression of envy, but at the same time she could not hide her discouragement.

Xu Chen didn't know how to comfort her, so he just laughed it off...

Before evening, Xu Chen found an excuse to escape.

Feng Qingqing pursed her lips, looking very annoyed.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, it was July. The transition of the machinery factory was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Xu Zhiquan and Fang Jun have already made several trips to the city and signed several documents.

But the formal handover and taking over of the machinery factory will take some time...

Fang Jun and Director Yang have both become busy these days. Fang Jun is still calculating the trivial financial accounts, while Director Yang is already working on the plan for the electric vehicle production line.

Xu Chen would stay in his office in Jinfeng Building whenever he had time. At this point in time, the handover issue of the machinery factory was of utmost importance.

By staying here, he can sense any urgent matters at the first time.

……

That afternoon, Xu Zhiquan returned from a meeting in the city and walked quickly into the office, followed by Li Rui and three others.

For various safety considerations during this period, Mr. Xu brought these three little brothers with him when he went out.

As soon as Xu Zhiquan entered the office, he called Xu Chen, Fang Jun and Director Yang to go to the reception room for a meeting.

……

In the reception room.

Yang lit a cigarette for Xu Zhiquan and smoked one himself.

Xu Zhiquan sat in the boss chair and took a few puffs of his cigarette before speaking:

"From the information I have heard so far, it seems that the former secretary of Guangming Factory, Ji Yusheng, has been completely sidelined.

As expected, the closure of Guangming Factory and a series of problems will be blamed on this old secretary who is about to retire.”

Yang Congxin sighed and said:
“In fact, the old secretary is an honest and kind person, but unfortunately he is too old and has been semi-retired in recent years.

Besides, the decline of the machinery factory was not something he could control...

I just didn't expect that I would have to lose my integrity before retirement and take the blame for those unreliable people under me."

Xu Chen glanced at his father Xu Zhiquan and found that he looked serious:

"Dad, is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhiquan exhaled a long stream of white smoke, but shook his head and said:

“It’s hard to explain…

Guangming Factory is still a little hard to see through, and there seems to be some undercurrents. "

He paused and then said:
“After the old secretary Ji Yusheng was sidelined, the former vice president Jin Guiyuan became the acting factory director and now holds the real power.

The city government has given me information these past two days that after we take over Guangming Factory, we cannot easily move Jin Guiyuan.

The unspoken meaning is to let Jin Guiyuan be my deputy..."

Xu Chen frowned:

“This is a bit disgusting.

After the acquisition, it becomes a private enterprise. Is there someone that cannot be touched casually? "

Yang Congxin said:

“Jin Guiyuan has some background.

A few years ago, he was parachuted into Guangming Factory and became the second-in-command.

But no one has ever known who his backers are. "

Xu Zhiquan paused:

“Don’t worry too much for now.

When doing business in the domestic environment, human relationships are ultimately the most complicated.

Although there are still too many twists and turns in Guangming Factory, I, Lao Xu, have been around for many years and I am no pushover.

No matter what kind of backing or background one has, in the end, one has to fight back against the enemy and cover up the water with earth..."

He thought for a while and asked again:

"The person in the photo Xu Chen showed me last time, who was mixed up with the people from Fengrong Commercial, was this Jin Guiyuan, right?"

Yang Congxin:
"Yes, there were two people in the reception room flirting with Fengrong Commercial.

One of them is the second-in-command, Vice President Jin Guiyuan.

The other is the technical line leader, Chief Engineer Zhao Jihong. "

Xu Zhiquan remained silent, but looked up and exchanged glances with Xu Chen.

The father and son naturally had a tacit understanding, and the message they exchanged in their eyes at this moment was:

It seems that this Jin Guiyuan is a trouble that must be eliminated at all costs...

Xu Chen thought for a moment and said:

"I remember when I left the machinery factory last time, the old secretary chased after me and looked very welcoming to Dong Chen."

Yang Congxin: "But the old secretary has long been sidelined...

Even though he welcomes us, it is of no use.”

Xu Chen: "Even if I am sidelined, at least I am in that position and can at least provide some key information from the upper echelons.

This information may reveal something.”

Xu Zhiquan nodded and said to Yang Congxin:
"Director Yang, old secretary Ji Yusheng, can you help me make some connections privately?"

Yang adjusted his black-framed glasses again, but his face was troubled:
"this……

I'm not really familiar with the old secretary, and I don't even have his phone number."

Fang Jun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment:
"Leave this to me. I can ask Secretary Ji to come out."

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"Great, we have Teacher Lao Fang!"

Fang Jun: "When is the right time for an appointment?"

Xu Zhiquan: "It's convenient for the old secretary. We can cooperate. We also need to find a private place...

It would be best if the old secretary could keep it a secret, especially from Jin Guiyuan."

Fang Jun: "Then I'll do it. I'll talk to Mr. Xu about it."

Xu Zhiquan took a few more puffs of his cigarette:
“There’s another thing, which is very strange.

The last time I was attacked, after the case was brought to the attention of Boss Huang and Boss Yu, there was no follow-up news.

I asked through various channels, and it seems that someone is blocking me from investigating further..."

Yang Congxin: “Ah?!”

Xu Chen whispered:
"Really, there's an undercurrent..."

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"Good thing, this makes it fun."
