under the foggy mountain

Chapter 14

When Yuan Wuhua arrived at the Litang Firecracker Factory, he saw a lot of vehicles coming in and out, some were empty, and some were already filled with fireworks.He parked the car and came to Jiang Huaizhong's office. The door was closed. He pushed the door, but it couldn't be opened. He yelled twice, but there was no sound from inside.He took out his mobile phone and unplugged Jiang Huaizhong's pager, but there was no reply after waiting for a long time.Seeing that the door next door was open, he walked in. Inside, a man and a woman were sitting at their respective desks with their heads bowed to work, and asked if Director Jiang was there. The woman raised her head and looked at him without saying a word. He said: Director Jiang seems to have gone to the government of Huangqiao Town.

Yuan Wuhua drove to the government office of Huangqiao Town, and came to Jiang Huaimin's office on the second floor. The door was closed, and he pushed it open. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Huaizhong sitting on the sofa opposite the desk.

Seeing Yuan Wuhua, Jiang Huaizhong stood up with a smile on his face, and greeted Yuan Wuhua while extending his hand: "Hey, Wuhua, you are here!"

Yuan Wuhua ignored him and said, "Boss Jiang, I called you just now, why didn't you answer?"

"Did you call the amplifier? Why didn't I receive it?" Jiang Huaizhong showed a surprised look on his face, retracted his hand, took out the pager to look at it, and said with a smile, "Wuhua, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it."

Yuan Wuhua sneered and "hummed".

Jiang Huaizhong asked Yuan Wuhua to sit down on the sofa, and went to find a teacup to make tea by himself, but he couldn't find it, so he smiled and said, "Wuhua, I didn't see the teacup. Look, I didn't eat it either."

Yuan Wuhua said: "If you don't want tea, sit down."

Jiang Huaizhong came over and sat down next to Yuan Wuhua, and said with a smile, "Wuhua, I didn't know that you and Su Tie were classmates until that day."

Yuan Wuhua said: "We are classmates in high school."

Jiang Huaizhong said: "That's all right now, you and Cycad are classmates, and Cycad will marry Lan Lan soon. In the future, if there is an environmental problem in our factory, we can settle it with Cycad."

Yuan Wuhua snorted again, and said, "It's useful to find him! As long as our factory produces in the dry season, people will come and quarrel. Can the cycads be settled?"

Jiang Huaizhong also knew something about it, and he laughed twice after hearing it.

"Director Jiang, Qianjin Paper Factory has some payment from you."

"That's right, Director He has come to check the account."

"Today I'm here to collect the payment."

Jiang Huaizhong heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "Hey... Wuhua, you are here to collect the payment, okay, okay... We owe you the payment, and we should pay it!"

Yuan Wuhua also laughed, and said: "That's good, Director Jiang, you are a straightforward person."

"However," Jiang Huaizhong said with a bit of embarrassment, frowning tightly, "the money has always been too tight, and there is no money in the account."

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Wuhua.

Yuan Wuhua squinted at Jiang Huaizhong and said, "No way, when I went to your factory just now, I saw a lot of cars coming in and out, all loaded with goods. I don't believe it!"

Jiang Huaizhong smiled again, and said, "Really, Wuhua, I won't lie to you, most of the goods that go out are on credit! Funds are really tight these days. Look, it's August [-]th, and the workers' wages have to be paid. Well, there are raw materials, electricity, taxes...""

Yuan Wuhua didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Director Jiang, I don't listen to these things, tell me something, will you give it today or not?"

Jiang Huaizhong looked embarrassed again, and said, "Wuhua, I really don't have any money, or after a while, I'll send it here?"

"How long?"

"next month."

"You treat me like a treasure!" Yuan Wuhua stood up "huh" after hearing this, and said with a sneer, "You didn't pay a penny for more than 8 yuan this year, and there were so many outstanding arrears in previous years. Now you pay a cent." The money was not given, and they said it would be until next month. Tell you, Boss Jiang, no! I want it now!"

Jiang Huaizhong still had a smile on his face and said, "Wuhua, if you want it now, I really can't help it. I really can't afford it."

Yuan Wuhua kicked the sofa, looked at Jiang Huaizhong who was sitting on the sofa and said word by word: "You can't take it out? Hmph! I will ask you to take it out!"

As he spoke, he ignored Jiang Huaizhong, walked to a small square table in the office and sat down.

Jiang Huai felt a "thump" in his heart.

After a while, the door was pushed open again, and Jiang Huaimin came in with a group of people. Seeing Jiang Huaizhong sitting on the sofa, he was a little surprised and said, "Huaizhong! Have you been here for a while?"

Jiang Huaizhong said: "It's been more than an hour."

Jiang Huaimin came to the town to look for Jiang Huaizhong when he knew he had something to do, and said, "Sit down for a while."

As he spoke, he put the materials in his hands on the desk and sat down at the desk.

The group of people who followed were all the party secretaries of the villages. They gathered around the desk and discussed the content of the meeting just now.A branch secretary asked: "Mayor Jiang, will the environmental protection inspection come to our village?"

Jiang Huaimin said, "I'm not sure about this. Every village must be prepared."

A branch secretary next to him said: "You will definitely come to our Yangliu Village, Luojiaping Village, and Zhangshuwan Village. If you don't go to your place, where will you go?" One said: "Mayor Jiang, you just said Is there any information on the inspection method?"

Jiang Huaimin said: "There should be. You can go to the printing room to get them later. I arranged to print 40 copies."

A branch secretary said: "I don't want the materials anymore. We shouldn't come there. There is only one paper factory in our village."

One said: "Wushan Village will definitely go, half of our paper mills in Huangqiao Town are there."

Everyone was discussing with each other, but it was obvious that everyone did not want the inspection team to go to their village.

After listening for a while, Yuan Wuhua stood up and shouted: "Mayor Jiang!"

Jiang Huaimin and everyone turned their heads to look into the office, only to find that there was another person inside.

Jiang Huaimin saw that it was Wuhua, and said with a smile, "Wuhua, you are here too."

Yuan Wuhua got up and walked over, pointed to Jiang Huaizhong who was sitting on the sofa and said, "I'm here to find Boss Jiang."

Jiang Huaimin heard this, and said to Jiang Huaizhong: "The one who came to see you, you go inside and talk."

Yuan Wuhua raised his voice and said, "We've talked, but we didn't reach an agreement. Now that you're here, Mayor Jiang, I'd like to invite you to be a judge."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Jiang Huaizhong stood up and said, "Wuhua, don't talk about it. Now, can I give you 3 yuan?"

Wuhua hummed and said, "You want to send me away for 3 yuan? You look down on people too much."

Those secretaries stopped discussing and all looked at Jiang Huaizhong and Yuan Wuhua.

Jiang Huaimin said, "Wuhua, what's the matter?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "Litang Firecracker Factory didn't pay a penny for the goods this year, and Boss Jiang plans not to pay a penny."

Jiang Huaimin said, "Just now he promised to give [-] yuan."

Yuan Wuhua sneered and said, "Mayor Jiang, send the beggar!"

Jiang Huaimin couldn't hold back his face, and said displeasedly: "This is a matter between the two of you, go inside and talk about it!"

Yuan Wuhua said in a rough voice: "Is it about the two of us? Mayor Jiang, you want a bowl of water to be flat. This Litang Firecracker Factory is yours, and Qianjin Paper Factory is also..."

Hearing this, Jiang Huaimin said sharply, "Stop arguing here! Jiang Huaizhong, Director Jiang! Go and discuss with Wuhua immediately, and give Wuhua as much as he wants! Go out and discuss! We want to talk about work here!"

When Jiang Huaizhong heard this, his face turned white and red, smiled awkwardly, and went out with his head down.Seeing this, Yuan Wuhua also walked out.

When the two came to the corridor, Jiang Huaizhong said, "Wuhua, you are ruthless."

Yuan Wuhua did not speak, but stared at Jiang Huaizhong.

Jiang Huaizhong said: "Well, I'll give you [-] yuan, okay?"

Wuhua shook his head: "No."

Jiang Huaizhong said: "This year the paper mill didn't get a cent of the bonus, so I should take something with me."

Yuan Wuhua said: "I don't care, dividends are not my business. I just come to collect the payment."

Jiang Huaizhong said: "Then I will contact Secretary Yuan now."

Yuan Wuhua said: "You can contact me, I will go in and find Mayor Jiang."

After finishing speaking, he was about to enter Jiang Huaimin's office.Jiang Huaizhong became anxious and stretched out his hands to stop Yuan Wuhua from entering.

At this time, Yuan Guishan in the lower flat was shouting: "Wuhua, Wuhua."

Yuan Wuhua turned around and looked down, only to see Yuan Guishan standing beside his car and waving his hands.

Yuan Wuhua shouted: "Master, what's the matter? Wait a minute."

When I looked for Jiang Huaizhong again, I saw that he had gone down the stairwell and was walking towards Yuan Guishan.

Yuan Wuhua shouted down: "Jiang Huaizhong, what are you doing there? Come back!" After shouting, he turned around and was about to enter Jiang Huaimin's office.

Yuan Guishan yelled from below: "Wuhua, come down to me!" He yelled several times.

Yuan Wuhua had no choice but to walk down. When he came to Yuan Guishan, Yuan Guishan stared at him and said, "Who asked you to come to Mayor Jiang?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "Director Jiang is here, I found it."

Yuan Guishan said: "Director Jiang told me just now that this time I will pay 6 yuan. I think it will work, and this time I will charge 6 yuan."

Yuan Wuhua said: "That won't work, I got angry with him today..."

Jiang Huaizhong heard this, and quickly said with a smile: "Wuhua, I'm wrong today, don't take it to heart. I'll just charge 6 this time, and I'll give you the rest next month, okay?"

Yuan Wuhua squinted at Jiang Huaizhong, Yuan Guishan scolded: "Boss Jiang is like this, what else do you want?"

Seeing that the purpose of collecting money had been achieved, Jiang Huaizhong begged him again with kind words, and Yuan Wuhua said, "Well, well, sixty thousand is sixty thousand."

Yuan Guishan said: "It's Zhou Yunyi's birthday, I'm going to his house to have birthday wine, you send me back quickly."

"Master, I will send you back after I collect the money." Yuan Wuhua said, turned around and said to Jiang Huaizhong, "Where can I get the money?"

Jiang Huaizhong said, "Let's go to Huangqiao Credit Union."

Yuan Wuhua thought for a while and said: "Well, I will send my grandfather back first, and then wait for you at the credit union."

Jiang Huaizhong said, "I want it."
