My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 178 Awesome People Are Awesome After All

The situation now is very delicate.

Originally, Weidong was planning to follow You Qili's lead and follow him to conquer the country.

As a result, the sudden detention center life, which lasted for a year, allowed Weidong to develop his own territory by leaps and bounds.

What should we do now?
This kind of thing has happened in history.

The most famous one was General Chu, who already held military power and was very powerful, but he followed the teacher.

Even in the following years, when the team was experiencing ups and downs and might even have lost everything, there were still batches of powerful generals and famous coaches joining.

Finally conquered the country.

Weidong knew clearly that You Qili had failed in the end, but he had actually completed a shocking deal in the aircraft sales and became the richest man in the country.

As he had no idea about the details, Wei Dong was wavering in his heart about whether to follow or not.

He was not a ruthless and murderous tyrant.

If you have the current wealth, it is not impossible to enjoy life with a wife and children and a warm bed.

But whether it is the sales teams in universities across the country or the ever-expanding production and sales scale, everyone is eager to become the surfers of the times.

Even Li Erfeng secretly touched Dong Xueying's silk shirt, with envy and longing in her eyes, and whispered in her ear that she wanted to follow her to Jiangzhou to buy clothes.

She has also made a lot of money in the past few months.

The young woman's eyesight was much better than hers, and she gestured for her to concentrate on watching the men fight.

Weidong didn't argue: "There are thousands of roads to Rome. I think it's more meaningful to build sustainable manufacturing companies than to try to close a single production and sales deal by chance."

How could an adult in his forties be easily persuaded? "To achieve ultimate victory, we must clarify our policies and theoretical foundations. The current economic situation urges no delay and requires significant results to prove the correctness of our direction. We cannot afford to grope our way through this slowly."

Weidong couldn't say he wasn't just groping for direction; it was all absolutely correct, all based on satellite navigation. "You're good at integrating theory with practice, and I prefer to see true knowledge through practice. There's no contradiction; we're both contributing to the reform and opening up. How about we eat first? You can give Lao He and the others a heads-up on what we're going to do next. I can assist or I don't have to participate at all."

Dong Xueying is indeed a good wife, and she must have made some arrangements: "Then we'll go to the slaughterhouse hot pot next door. Some old friends heard about Lao You's return and wanted to meet him, so we've already arranged to meet him."

Her polite instructions clearly defined the boundaries. Old You nodded and led the team over. She finally exchanged a few words with her former partner: "Old He, your house over there is rented to Weidong. Is it for you to vacate or something? You can estimate the rent later. Everything is ready here. Old Xie, we will also check and hand over the store's financial accounts later. Thank you for your hard work. I have notified everyone at home."

But even so, some people are still dissatisfied: "What are they doing? Just because they see that the harvest is good over there and we are in trouble, are we going to jump ship?!"

He even spoke in a sarcastic tone so that this person could hear it.

Er Feng's eyes narrowed as she was about to jump out and curse, but Dong Xueying smiled faintly and pulled her back without saying a word.

Wei Dong would not do anything in front of Li Erfeng, but he squinted his eyes at the guy, made up his mind, smiled at his wife and followed him.

It was indeed because the news of "You Qili being released" spread.

People from all over came to confirm the rumors.

Just during the visit to the food factory, the hot pot restaurant was quickly filled with calls for inquiries.

More people are coming.

As a port city with a deep business tradition, those who are interested will certainly regard this as a policy indicator.

But they didn't even sit down. Dong Xueying, who was directing the hot pot restaurant counter with Li Erfeng, whispered to the country girl, "Actually, I think most people are here to test the waters or to see Weidong. In the past few months, our sand and gravel business and prepared food business have been making little or no money. This is very different from Old You's love of theoretical talk. So if you follow Weidong, don't get entangled in verbal disputes and just focus on doing your job."

Li Erfeng just licked her lips.

As expected, in this kind of situation, some people still only care about eating and drinking.

You Qili has extensive connections among capable businessmen in Shangzhou, and this is not his first time in jail.

But now he has become more calm. He just shook hands and thanked Weidong for visiting without saying much. Instead, he continued to discuss theoretical and practical topics with Weidong with his head down.

The tone is very calm. It is not about arguing about right or wrong, but about constantly consolidating things that can convince oneself through debate.

For the past eighty years, everyone from top to bottom has been groping for the direction. If you don’t form a theoretical system that can convince yourself, it will be difficult to lead others to follow.

Perhaps the only way is for Weidong to make money through steady, accurate and ruthless hard work, and use money to attract everyone to go all out.

So the place where they were sitting would inevitably attract some important figures, and those who were interested in listening would come closer intentionally or unintentionally to listen.

Gradually, a lot of people gathered.

Sitting and talking is really not Weidong's strong point. He just likes to do it, and do it hard.

In fact, people kept coming in. Dong Xueying recognized most of them, greeted them, arranged for them to sit down, and then introduced them to Lao You and Rang Weidong. Rang Weidong was very uncomfortable with the casual conversation and just wanted to shout "wife, save me!"

In fact, he had unknowingly gotten used to being the boss in the past six months, and he was always annoyed by the nagging.

The table next to us was occupied by a few colleagues who had just been released. One of them had been surrounded by various people and had a few drinks. He began to speak uncontrollably: "Old You, what are your plans? Come up with a plan. I've been in jail for a year now, so I have to give an explanation!"

Among them was the one who had been speaking in a sarcastic tone just now: "Right! Now that it's out, we must go to the magistrates and file a complaint, and thoroughly expose the injustice of the case!"

"Yes! Just because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, can we cover the sky with a single palm?"

The slaughterhouse hotpot with more than a dozen tables is actually a renovation of the cafeteria here, and it is a new move only recently.

There were originally at least two or three hundred people, but the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and silent.

Someone is already quietly trying to leave.

If this really turns into a public disturbance, everyone will be implicated.

There were many such incidents in the past few years.

Dong Xueying's delicate eyebrows were wrinkled, but she held it back by taking a deep breath.

I seemed to remember the gloomy mood when I was just released, frantically appealing and visiting everywhere.

She turned around to look at her man and immediately smiled.

It was as if all the haze had disappeared.

Wei Dong happened to meet his wife's eyes, and he immediately laughed in his heart. He thought his wife was giving him a signal, and then he looked at You Qili who was squinting his eyes and had no expression.

He stood up and said, "Old Wang, right? I asked Weidong. At the end of last year, only Dong Xueying was released and she was running around everywhere. When none of your families risked their lives to do so, a weak woman with a child helped a bunch of grown men go to Beijing and the provincial capital to appeal for justice. To this day, I haven't heard any of you say thank you to her. Are you still human?! Are you no better than the animals in this slaughterhouse?!"

In short, Dong Xueying's eyes were filled with tears, and the gloomy emotion that had just flashed by was now replaced by sweetness.

Let Weidong just do it, but this occasional teasing of his wife really hits her right in the heart.

You Qili stood up and said, "Yes, thank you very much, Dong Xueying and Rang Weidong, for your efforts in the past few days to help us gain freedom. I toast to you both!"

Seeing that Wei Dong was holding the cup, Li Erfeng quickly poured a cup for Dong Xueying and handed it to her.

I don't think this is much like the witness toasting the newlyweds.

Wei Dong felt that way anyway, and his anger subsided when he stood up, but he still didn't let him go: "Old You is sensible and responsible. If you guys continue to make trouble, are you going to set him up to warm himself by the fire, or set me up as your guarantor and make me a nobody?"

Even this has some people who are not convinced: "You make it sound so easy, what crime did I commit to deserve this year in jail?"

There is no intention to ask for state compensation at this moment.

But it's true.

But Rang Weidong was very clear: "I don't know if you understand this common sense. If I were playing basketball and you accidentally fouled me and I fell, and I broke my neck and died, would you go to jail for it?"

Everyone really thought about it, and one after another people responded: "No! This is not the case when something happens while playing basketball!"

"You should still take some responsibility. People are dead."

"He's not dead, he's just injured. What does it have to do with me?"

Rang Weidong nodded. "Yes, even if it's just a few people playing for fun, without a referee it's not an official match. As long as there's no malicious intent to injure anyone, there's no legal liability for injuries or deaths caused by normal play. This is because this is a contract that's automatically established from the moment you start playing. It's implicitly assumed that you knew this sport was dangerous, but you still chose to participate, just like you chose to join the trading company."

The other party was still unconvinced: "I didn't join the trading company to go to jail! Old You, I'm not targeting you. I'm just doing my job honestly. I haven't broken any laws, so why are you arresting me?"

You Qili picked up the conversation, "Isn't Weidong clear? This is no simple matter. Choosing to be the first private company in Shangzhou is like playing a game between reform and opening up and the old mindset and system. We must accept that high returns come with high risks. This metaphor is a great one!"

Even Weidong felt comfortable.

It's really comfortable to deal with smart people.

It was comfortable to communicate with the smart people represented by the group of college students in Pingjing, but they admired and respected Rang Weidong more.

On the contrary, I don’t resonate with You Qili’s critical attitude, which is that even if you are right and do the right thing, I will still find fault with you.

Because he truly understands what you're saying and can immediately catch up: "I'm definitely dissatisfied with what happened over the past year, but I don't advocate further appeals. Let's just pretend the past never happened. Time is our most precious resource, and we should focus on our careers. We must seize every minute, comrades!"

Damn, just standing there with his hands on his hips, with his slicked-back hair and tall stature, he actually exudes that leadership style!

He deserves to be the lord.
