My Terrible Life in Those Years

At the same time, I saw Wu Bo stand up inside the glass window, greet the large group of people, and shake hands with each of them.

I froze for a moment.

I suddenly remembered what Uncle Ye told me: Chengzai has an uncle who works in the village committee. Could this project be related to them?

I looked inside more closely and sure enough, there was a short, middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, chatting amicably with Manager Wu. His face shape was somewhat similar to Chengzai's.

I can almost tell that this is Chengzai's uncle who works in the village committee of Woda Village.

I immediately stopped in my tracks.

He looked at the three groups who were chatting happily with a somewhat cold gaze.

Zhou Tong noticed that my expression was a bit off, glanced inside, then back at me, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I think I saw someone I know, but upon closer inspection, it's not them."

It's not that I'm unwilling to tell Zhou Tong, but after Aunt Shu gave me several warnings before she came, I had a second thought.

Besides, even if I stormed in now, what could I do? Should I confront him in front of the three leaders and then pull out that piece of paper that hardly qualifies as evidence to identify him?

Given his personality and the fact that he has a lot of men, I feel he'll probably just whistle and call for people to beat me up on his own turf.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after three days; this is only the first day.

As for the saying "it's never too late after ten years," I don't think I have that kind of patience. Ten years from now, I don't even know if I'll remember this little thing.

Besides, even if she remembered, she probably wouldn't have wanted to argue with him back then.

So, one day is too early, you're not prepared, three days is just right.

I hid behind the bulletin board and stared intently at it.

Chengzai sat in the outermost seat, holding his phone and looking around idly.

You could tell that if his uncle hadn't brought him, he probably wouldn't have come to this kind of event.

Zhou Tong looked at me with a puzzled expression.

He looked inside, then looked at me, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked, puzzled.

Her voice was clear and crisp, without any impurities.

"I'm laughing at you. You've only been with the company for two or three days, and you're already thinking about advancement? You want to get involved in negotiations, don't you?"

I was puzzled: "Hasn't the contract already been signed? What's there to discuss?"

She glanced around and, seeing no one else from the company, her gossipy nature immediately kicked in.

"Since you're not bad looking, I'll secretly tell you some industry secrets, but you can't tell anyone else!"

Yes, this will definitely be the last thing the gossip girl says, so don't tell anyone!

Actually, this sentence is just like when we write an essay; after a paragraph, there should be a period!

My interest was instantly piqued.

"Alright, speak freely. My mouth is as sealed as a Buddha's!"

This was probably the first time she'd heard someone describe their mouth as that of a Bodhisattva: "Huh?"

"Have you ever seen a Bodhisattva open its mouth and speak?" I had to explain it that way.

She only realized what was happening before she burst out laughing again.

"It's such a waste that you don't sing with that voice!" I couldn't help but compliment.

She gave me a beaming glare and said, "You think my voice is nice too? Let's go to karaoke sometime, and I'll sing for you!"

I thought about that scene and suddenly felt a sense of anticipation!

"Great! Maybe you'll run into a talent scout there! You'll be set for life. Don't forget your poor colleagues then!"

One was in charge of internal affairs, the other was in charge of external affairs, and they were bored and started bragging!

"Hey, what were you going to say?" I suddenly remembered that she was going to gossip.

"Oh right, what was I going to say?" Zhou Tong laughed at himself.

"I actually heard about this from a colleague in Sales Department One. It's quite confidential, you really can't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Let alone this little thing, even if you were discovered by a talent scout and became an instant sensation, I wouldn't say a word.

"Do you know why Manager Wu was so happy to hear that General Manager Shu wasn't directly involved in this matter?"

"I really don't know."

"I've only heard about it, I don't know if it's true."

If it weren't for her pleasant voice, I would have almost called her a broken record!

"Actually, the planning of so many GG slots can be done through professional surveying, and then through your operation and packaging, you can create more GG slots, and that's outside the contract."

I'm shocked! You can actually do that?

"Moreover, the village committee will be responsible for the investment attraction and operation of these land parcels in the future. All we need to do is help them with the surveying and planning in the early stages."

I opened my mouth, "So, does this company know about this? Does President Shu know? Wouldn't that be against the rules?"

Zhou Tong gave me a disdainful look: "This is what I wanted to tell you. It's called an industry unspoken rule. You could say it's wrong, or you could say it's right. President Shu is an old hand in this industry, how could she not understand this? The reason she doesn't directly intervene is because she wants to turn a blind eye!"

"So, that little red envelope was just an appetizer. I reckon the village committee is going to have to spend a lot more this time."

I finally understood some things about the industry: "If that's the case, why doesn't their village committee hire a surveying company themselves? Why don't they find these locations themselves? Wouldn't that be more profitable?"

"Are you stupid? You want to do it yourself? Do they even have the capability? And what about the subsequent production, engineering, installation, and all that stuff? They don't have the qualifications, okay? They wouldn't even get approval from the city management. But with our planning drawings and our company's signboard, it's 100% guaranteed that if you submit it here, they'll approve it right away!"

Seeing my expression, she was quite satisfied, and she felt an immense sense of fulfillment from her revelation!

"Are you dumbfounded? So, that was just a small bonus. Do you know, if we help them create a few more GG slots, they can earn tens, even hundreds of thousands a year just from that!"

After she said that, I suddenly felt like it might actually be true.

That surveying company was just a small bribe.

I wonder how big a room the village committee will be able to book later?

At this stage of my life, money has an incredible magic to me!

However, I had to repeatedly recall what Aunt Shu had told me in my mind.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Zhou Tong was called in by Manager Wu again. A short while later, her bag was filled with another large stack of red envelopes, much larger and thicker than the first one!
