1994: Starting with unpaid leave

Zheng Rui and Dong Weiguo stood guard outside Director Bai's office.

Although you can't hear what the two people inside are saying, you can still hear the sound of them banging on the table.

Zheng Rui couldn't help but reach out and poke Dong Weiguo's ribs with some concern:

"Are you sure about what's going on with your brother? Something feels off about what's happening inside."

Dong Weiguo shook his head:

"Jianguo isn't the kind of person who's unreliable. Didn't you see how he bought a house in just one month by selling eggs?! I had dinner with him today, and he told me that he's paid off all the mortgage payments he had before."

Zheng Rui frowned:

"That's not necessarily true. He's so young and has made so much money; what if he gets arrogant? People his age are most prone to this kind of thing..."

"I hope he doesn't take advantage of having a few drinks at lunchtime to beat up Director Bai again! How am I supposed to teach at the school then?!"

Hearing his wife say this, Dong Weiguo frowned.

"Really?"

Even though he said that, he suddenly felt uncertain.

"Let's listen again. If the sound isn't right, I'll rush in and stop Jianguo immediately..."

"Look at the mess you two have made!"

Zheng Rui's resentment intensified, and she couldn't help but pinch Dong Weiguo twice more hard...

……

Inside the room, Director Bai's face turned even paler than her name suggested:

"You...you stop shouting!"

For so long, Director Bai had believed that he and Factory Director Gao had kept their affair a secret.

Unexpectedly, the secret that had been kept hidden from everyone was exposed by this young man right in front of them.

Since he chose to be the villain, Dong Jianguo might as well go all the way:

"You've already done it, so what are you afraid of people saying?"

"Director Bai, let's stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. I, Dong Jianguo, never give up until I get what I want. Once I get what I want, I'll shut up."

"Otherwise... you might not be able to bear the consequences!"

"I may not have any other skills, but it's not difficult for me to expose your extramarital affair with Director Gao and the fact that you even had a child with him."

As Dong Jianguo spoke clearly, Bai Jie felt her blood pressure rise.

"No, it's just about renting a small shop, why make such a big deal out of it?! Brother Dong, can't we just talk things over calmly?"

"Sure, rent the convenience store for two years, no kickbacks."

Dong Jianguo shrugged and stated his requirements.

Bai Jie hesitated for a moment.

She didn't keep the kickbacks for herself; after deducting her share, the rest had to be handed over to the school leaders above her.

To put it bluntly, this time she was just acting as the black glove for the leaders to make money, just like always.

Now that this young man surnamed Dong is determined to get it, it seems he'll have to pay out of his own pocket to cover the portion he owes to his superiors...

However, it's not that I can't afford it. As long as he can keep his secret as agreed, I'll just accept my defeat this time.

As long as I stay in my position as the head of school logistics, there are plenty of ways to make money...

After thinking it over, Bai Jie was still a little worried:

"Is this all?"

"Um... by the way, my sister-in-law is a homeroom teacher at your school. I heard that their grade is going to start some kind of 'rocket class'..."

"I feel that my sister-in-law is quite suitable to be the head teacher of the advanced class."

"Your sister-in-law? Who is she?" Bai Jie asked calmly.

"Ms. Zheng Rui, you should know her because she teaches English."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Dong Jianguo said without hesitation, directly stating his demands.

During a casual chat over lunch, he learned from his second brother that his sister-in-law had also been having trouble at work recently. She was worried because the school was taking away the top students from her class to form a "rocket class," so she casually brought up this request.

Ultimately, the lease agreement for this convenience store will definitely have to be signed by my second brother.

The truth will eventually come out; everyone at school will find out that it was the second brother who took over the convenience store.

Rather than waiting for Director Bai to investigate, it's better to just be frank and say it directly.

"But don't worry, your little affair with Director Gao definitely didn't come out through my sister-in-law."

"But if my second sister-in-law ever gets sabotaged or harassed at school, then your affair with Director Gao will become the talk of the entire school..."

"you……"

Director Bai glared at her almond-shaped eyes, but in the end, she could only swallow her anger and bear it.

Dong Jianguo became impatient:

"So? Give me a straight answer, don't waste everyone's time."

"Regarding the school store, I agree in principle to rent it to you... However, as for whether Teacher Zheng can be transferred to the advanced class as a homeroom teacher, I can only say I'll do my best, but I can't give a 100% guarantee..."

"Okay, shall we sign the contract now?"

"Can……"

Hearing Director Bai's words, Dong Jianguo nodded, got up, walked to the door, and waved to his second brother and sister-in-law, who were crouching down, ready to escape.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, come in and sign the contract. The convenience store is yours now..."

……

No profit can not afford to be early.

Dong Jianguo had his own plans for renting the campus convenience store for his second brother.

The sales channels for new products from Hezhiwei Food Factory are not stable, and it is difficult to invite people to try them.

Which flavors are good and need to be heavily promoted and marketed, and which flavors are bad and need to be optimized and eliminated. Without collecting experimental data from a large number of people, it is impossible to make a sure thing on your own.

If we help my second brother rent the school store, we won't have to worry about a stable customer base for food tasting for at least two years.

As a key junior high school in Hecheng, No. 3 Middle School has more than 2,000 teachers and students. Although it is difficult to please everyone, once the base number is large, the necessary big data analysis is almost a ready-made data model.

It's the perfect tool to test how well a new product is liked by diners.

However, Dong Jianguo was in no hurry to tell his second brother about these things.

Only after the couple, still dazed, had finished signing the papers, did Dong Jianguo pat his second brother, Dong Weiguo, on the shoulder:

"Director Bai, these are my own brother and sister-in-law. We're such good friends, so please take good care of them at school!"

Seeing that the two looked completely bewildered, which was clearly not an act, Director Bai had a general idea that the two were unaware of his affairs.

She gathered the hair that had been hanging down her cheeks and smiled slightly at Dong Jianguo:

"Xiao Dong, what are you saying? I didn't know you two had this kind of relationship before, but now that I do, how can I not take care of you more?"

"Teacher Zheng, Teacher Zheng's spouse, if you need anything in the future, you can come to my office anytime."

Zheng Rui was dizzy. Having worked at the school for many years, she had devoted herself to education. Although she had heard about the ins and outs of the school, she had always despised it.

Unexpectedly, I've managed to get on good terms with the head of logistics today. For a moment, I couldn't care less about the integrity of an educator and kept nodding to Director Bai, sending out the greatest goodwill with a smile.

"Director Bai is right. I didn't expect you to actually know my brother-in-law. We'll be relying on you a lot from now on..."

"No problem!"

Director Bai smiled and extended his hand, his face full of "sincerity".
