I am a small factory doctor re-walking my life.

"It is rumored that Craig, who was leading the attack, was attacked in the Big Apple at around three o'clock in the morning this morning. The specific injuries are unknown. However, this news has not been confirmed, so the authenticity is still unknown."

Duan Wanjun's words made Li Tang's eyes widen.

Craig was attacked, casualties unknown! ! !

He and Craig Emerson have known each other for more than ten years, and their relationship is relatively good.

Although this relationship is based on interests, the cooperation over the years has been very smooth, and we can occasionally joke and talk about personal matters, which is really rare.

Craig is a typical businessman. As long as he can make money and increase his influence, he will do any business. The concept of country is very vague to him.

However, being vague does not mean that there is no such thing. They, through the financial center of the world, the United States, are crazy about printing money, waving the newly printed U.S. dollars, extending their tentacles to all walks of life, and constantly Building his own business empire.

Therefore, they are inherently integrated with the United States. Only when this country becomes stronger can their business empire exist.

On the contrary, they will be like the four stars on the stick, and like those consortiums in the early days, they can only rely on others. If the rope in their hands is tightened a little, they will be uncomfortable and life will be worse than death. This is the tragedy of not having the support of a strong country.

Now that he heard that such a person who could be found lying in many countries was attacked at his doorstep, his life or death was uncertain, Li Tang sighed with emotion.

"Who gave you this news?"

"A friend from the consulate in the Big Apple, the news has not been confirmed yet. If it is confirmed, I think someone will inform you.

Director, would you say if this news is true, would it..."

"You want to ask if it will have any impact on cooperation?"

"Yes"

"Theoretically, it shouldn't have any impact. In practice, it's hard to say. If the successor is someone with skin color first and a single-minded person, then it's not necessarily true.

But I think that by cooperating with us, they can earn at least nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars in profits every year. There shouldn’t be anyone who has trouble with money, right?

Even if the successor is the kind of leader with a single-minded mind, the leadership is not his alone, and others will definitely not let him do whatever he wants. "

Just when he said this, Li Tang suddenly realized something. He raised his hand and took a puff of cigarette and asked: "Wan Jun, which leader asked you to ask?"

"Uh... yes, the leader just knows that something might happen to Craig, and is a little worried about whether it will affect the cooperation between the two parties."

Li Tang smiled when he looked at Duan Wanjun's somewhat uneasy expression under the street lamp.

"Haha, Wan Jun, it's okay. The leader cares about our company. This is normal."

Duan Wanjun came here to take a temporary job, and the personnel files were not transferred. To be precise, he was a non-staff member of Qin Yao. He had been working on a temporary job for three years. Half of the time has passed now. He has close contact with the leaders above. If anything happens, he should communicate with him first. , Li Tang would not say anything because of this.

"I will contact Craig's nephew Yaxi later to find out the truth. If there is any news, I will tell you tomorrow, and then you can report it to the leader."

"Director, I..."

Seeing what Duan Wanjun wanted to explain, Li Tang smiled and waved his hand: "Wanjun, there is no need to explain anything. I personally have no prejudice against you. In my opinion, whether you are here for a temporary job or officially transferred to us, Yes, as long as you work hard and perform your job responsibilities conscientiously during your tenure, you are our comrades-in-arms.

As for other things, don’t think so much, and don’t have so complicated thoughts in your mind. Our company doesn’t have that many messy things. We just need to think together and work hard in one place. "

"Thank you, director, I understand."

"Well, okay, if you don't have anything else to do, go back and rest early."

"Director, please come first!"

Nodding, Li Tang turned and walked into the courtyard. Over there, Pang Hu and the other two security personnel greeted Duan Wanjun and then followed him into the courtyard.

Pang Hu also has a room in the dormitory building in the courtyard here. Occasionally when he comes back late, he will rest here. If he doesn't want to stay here, he will drive back to the group's family courtyard by himself, and there is no need to rush the next day. Come here, just go directly to the company.

Several other security guards are young people who are not yet married and live in the dormitory here. They have all been registered with the provincial department.

……

After watching Li Tang enter, Duan Wanjun did not rush to leave. Instead, he lit a cigarette for himself again, leaned against the front of the car, and looked into the distance with somewhat blurred eyes.

He actually had something to say just now, but seeing the young director's reaction, he suddenly felt that there was no need to say anything, as they might have seen through it long ago.

Having reached such a high position at such a young age, he does not have the complacency of young people. He always seems to be so low-key, but he also seems to be a bit unpredictable, which makes people a little unpredictable.

But what he was sure of was that this director was not simple.

Yes, how can a person who has made it this far be so simple? People may see through his little thoughts at a glance.

What he wanted to say just now was actually related to an upcoming personnel adjustment.

He didn't know about this originally, and it wasn't something that someone of his level could know in advance. It was his old man who revealed it to him.

Liu Xiaoqiang, general manager of Qin Pharmaceutical Group, may have to be transferred to another province to serve as deputy leader.

However, this matter is still a bit stuck.

The reason is that Li Tang is opposed, not against Liu Xiaoqiang's departure, but because he wants to get a better position for him. Of course it is no problem to serve as deputy leader. He is fighting to be directly included in the team.

The difference between whether you can join the team or not is huge.

Liu Xiaoqiang is fifty-two years old. If he can directly join the team as deputy leader, it will not only save him several years of time, but also give him greater real power.

Whether it will succeed is still unknown.

If Liu Xiaoqiang leaves, who will take over the position of general manager of Qin Yao has been said. There are many people eyeing this position. Although the decision-making power lies with the top, the recommendation power can rest with Li Tang and the province.

Moreover, if this candidate cannot get Li Tang's nod, then whoever comes to be the general manager will only be a puppet, and the one who takes the blame may be crushed to death.

The special nature of Qin Yao means that the higher-ups will never ignore Li Tang's opinion when it comes to the appointment of the very important position of general manager.

According to the old man of the Duan family, Duan Wanjun's original temporary position was transferred to Qin Yao officially.

It's not that he wants to take over as general manager this time, then he is really not qualified, but he wants to take over in three to five years.

If you want to do this, then the general manager appointed this time is just a slightly older one.

But no matter how others pull the abacus beads, no matter how clear they are, as long as they can't get Li Tang's nod, everything will be in vain.

According to his father's vision, his biggest competitors will be the vice presidents of the group.

Although he has a promoter who can help, because he is an old promoter who has stepped up from the lower levels of the group, it will definitely be easier for him to get Li Tang's recommendation.

This is what his old man meant, and he must have a good relationship with this person.

Listen to what people said just now, there aren't that many messy things in the company, so that's what I'm talking about.

So what his old man asked him to say, he didn't say it just now. There was no need to say it. This guy's eyes were bright.

……

Isn't it bright? How could Li Tang not know these people's thoughts?

He is also a little hesitant now whether to let Liu Xiaoqiang go. If he can really join the team in one step, then he will never consider anything, but things are not that simple.

If Director Wang has not retired yet, then he will definitely be the one to pinch him this time, alas...

Looking to collaborate with outside forces?
After returning home, he washed up and completed today's homework. After his wife fell asleep, Li Tang quietly got out of bed and went downstairs.

Even if he wanted to seek external cooperation, he would not go beyond the province and find others directly.

That's taboo. No matter what, Qin Yao is still a provincial enterprise, and his foundation is here. If the foundation is not stable, no matter how good the company is, it will be in trouble in the future.

Therefore, Duan Wanjun's old man's idea is destined to fail.

We still need to discuss it carefully with Zhuang Mingcheng and Li Yukun.

In addition, I have to talk to Liu Xiaoqiang. Although he may not want to leave the company, as a cadre of the organization, he still has to obey orders.

After sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, he picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, lit one for himself, then got up and walked into the study.

It's time to call the American side and ask. If the old man Craig really dies this time, then future cooperation will definitely be affected.

"plum?"

"Yasi, it's me, Li Tang."

Yassie Emerson, Craig's nephew, came here for treatment a few years ago because he suffered from ALS. Because of his status as an old U.S. federal senator, when he came for treatment, he attracted great attention internationally. .

Because in the past, only others went to developed countries in Europe and the United States to seek medical treatment, but now suddenly the opposite is happening, and it is difficult for others not to notice.

Of course, the European and American media have selectively forgotten that many European and American wealthy people have come to seek medical advice.

Mainly because Yasi's status was too special, although he had resigned from the federal senator position at that time.

After nine months of treatment here, Yaxi can now basically take care of himself except for the fact that he still needs to walk with a cane and has some inconvenience in his legs and feet.

get well? It is impossible to recover.

To cure this disease caused by genetic mutation, Li Tang has not found a good way and can only keep taking medicine.

Now Yaxi doesn't have to run to China at all times. He only needs to have regular check-ups every month. If there is no change in the data on the check-up report, he can just take the medicine on time.

In recent years, many patients in Europe and the United States who have been rescued by a charity foundation have come for treatment, but overall the number of cases is still too few.

The best treatment effect is that of Yaxi, and if some patients have been ill for too long and have not received good treatment, they have reached a terminally ill state and there is no treatment even if they come here. Yaxi was not surprised at all when he received a call from Li Tang. Now that there were rumors flying all over the world, he would be surprised if he didn't know about it here.

"Li, it's not easy to receive your call. I am also your patient after all. Do you not care so much about your patients?"

"Haha, it's not that I don't care, but I have confidence in my medical skills, and at the same time I feel reassured by the medical staff around you."

"Well, when I hear you say that, I don't know whether I should be happy or have some other reaction."

At this point, Yaxi paused slightly: "Li, I know what you meant by calling today. In fact, even if you don't call, I will take the initiative to call you in the next two days.

I'm going to go over to your place and let you see it for me in person. I always feel a little uneasy without letting you see it for a long time, and I also want to ask you to evaluate my current physical condition to see if it's suitable for me. It's suitable to participate in some work. When are you free? "

Yaxi's words shocked Li Tang's heart.

He heard that the attack on Craig was real, and it was very likely that the injury was serious. Otherwise, Yaxi would not be able to take over the work even though he was sick.

The Emerson family is very large, and there are many factions within the family. Yaxi and Craig are uncles and nephews. Even if there are some conflicts between the two, in terms of big interests, they are naturally bound together.

Now that something happened to his uncle, it’s normal for his nephew to take over and help, but what about Craig’s children?

Li Tang just turned his head and forgot about this problem. It was his family's business and had nothing to do with him.

If Yaxi really takes over the affairs from Craig's hands, it shouldn't have much impact on the cooperation between the two parties, which makes him feel a little more relieved.

"I should be free here in the next month or two. You can come over at any time."

"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to contact your embassy. I will go there as soon as possible. We will meet and chat later."

"Okay, let's meet and chat."

After putting down the phone, Li Tang leaned back in his chair and took a long breath. The scenes of dealing with Craig over the past ten years kept flashing in his mind.

Um? wrong!

Li Tang, who had just taken a puff of cigarette, suddenly sat up straight.

No, Yaxi's tone on the phone just now was too relaxed, not at all like the state when he had just lost a relative.

Moreover, if something happens to Craig, there is no need for the Emerson family to come here to talk about it now.

The cooperation between both parties is carried out through other companies and is not a private cooperation with Craig. As long as those companies are still operating normally and the previous contracts have not expired, there is no need to rush over.

This guy, who are they setting up for? I was worried that the phone was being monitored, so I said that.

Hey……

Thinking of this, Li Tang's expression became much more relaxed. He thought something had really happened to Craig just now, but his heart was still quite heavy. After all, he was an old friend who had cooperated with him for more than ten years.

After finishing the cigarette in his hand, he got up and walked to the bathroom on the first floor to rinse his mouth, turned off the floor lamp in the living room, and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

As soon as he lay down, his wife seemed to have caught the scent and slipped into his arms. Then she hugged him tightly with her hands and feet, and moved her head back and forth several times to find the most comfortable position. posture, and after two more hums, his breathing became calm again.

Gently stroking his wife's smooth back, Li Tang smiled slightly in the darkness. Over the years, he had long been accustomed to this way of sleeping. He didn't know who was whose pillow, so he put his head and kissed her on the forehead. For a moment, I closed my eyes and soon fell into sleep.

……

Monday, December 25th
When he came to the company in the morning, Li Tang didn't even go to his own office. He went directly to Liu Xiaoqiang. As a result, the owner of the office was still having breakfast in the restaurant on the second floor.

He didn't let his secretary inform him, so he just took a tea cup and made himself a cup of tea. Then he sat down on the sofa and lit another cigarette. Ding Dongxing, the director of Mr. Liu's secretary office, was stunned for a moment.

"Okay Dongxing, go about your business. I'll sit here for a while. Don't notify your boss. Let him finish his meal in peace."

"Uh……"

Ding Dongxing wanted to say something else, but when he saw Li Tang wave his hand, he could only retreat in confusion.

It was five minutes to nine o'clock. After breakfast, Liu Xiaoqiang opened the office door with a briefcase. As soon as he entered, he saw someone lying on the sofa. He was so frightened that he left immediately.

"Lao Liu, it's me."

Before Liu Xiaoqiang opened his mouth to call someone, a familiar voice came from inside the house. He looked over and saw, hey, it really is this guy.

"I said, Chairman, what are you doing? Did you run to the wrong floor, or were you waiting for me?"

After seeing who was in the room, Liu Xiaoqiang, who was in his early fifties, rolled his eyes angrily.

"I must be waiting for you. No matter how confused I am, I still can't tell whether this is the sixteenth floor or not."

Ding Dongxing, who was holding back a smile, walked in at this moment.

"Dongxing, why didn't you tell me when the chairman came over?"

"Don't blame Dongxing, I didn't let him notify you. You are eating on the second floor. I'm not in a hurry. It won't cost you anything to wait a while."

Li Tang sat upright as he spoke: "Dongxing, please go out first. I need to discuss something with your leader. If anyone comes to report to him, please come back later."

"Okay Chairman, Mr. Liu, I'm going out first."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing what Li Tang said, Liu Xiaoqiang nodded and asked Ding Dongxing to go out first. Then he didn't care about pouring water. He walked to the single sofa opposite and sat down with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong, Chairman, what happened?"

"Nothing happened." Li Tang shook his head, glanced at the closed office door, and continued: "Old Liu, you must have heard some rumors, right?"

Even if things like personnel adjustments are kept secret, a little bit of news will always leak out.

"What rumor are you referring to?"

"about you."

Liu Xiaoqiang's expression suddenly changed. Of course he had heard of the rumor and didn't believe it at all. But if Li Tang came here today, it meant that it was probably true.

His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "I've heard a little bit, but I don't believe it."

"Then let me tell you, this is true. The superiors really want to transfer you to another place to serve as deputy leader."

"I……"

Are you tempted? That is inevitable. From the enterprise to the local level, few people can be tempted to implement the benefits they originally enjoyed into actual duties, and they are still leaders.

If Liu Xiaoqiang was asked to work in a certain city before, whether it was the city government or the organization, Liu Xiaoqiang could refuse it, then this time...

"Chairman, I have never thought about leaving our company."

Although he said these words quickly, Li Tang understood it within less than a second of hesitation.

"I know you never thought about leaving, but if you miss this opportunity this time, you really won't have it again."

Seeing what he wanted to say, Li Tang waved his hand to indicate, and then said: "I understand what you mean. What I want to say is that I am trying to find a way for you to join the team directly, so that you will have less time to leave. Many detours.

Try to be steady during this period, and no matter what promise anyone makes to you, don’t agree to it.

Originally I didn't plan to tell you in advance, but then I thought about it and told you. I was worried that you would misunderstand me. "

Liu Xiaoqiang's breathing was a lot heavier at this time. For him, if this thing really happened, it would be a step to the sky.

There have been a lot of stormy times in the past few years. After being excited for a while, I quickly regained my composure.

"Chairman, we have been working together for twenty years. No matter what you do, I will never think too much about it."

"Thank you for your trust, Lao Liu. Do you have any ideas about the person who will take over your job?"

"This...Chairman, this shouldn't be a problem for me to consider."

"You just said you wouldn't think too much about it. You just wanted you to talk about the candidate in your mind so that I could have a comprehensive consideration."

Seeing Li Tangdu say this, Liu Xiaoqiang knew that he couldn't do anything today. He could only lower his head and think for a while, then raised his head and said: "If you ask me, I only have one candidate in my mind, but..."

"No but, just say the name."

"Old Zhang, Zhang Guoqing."

Li Tang was silent when he heard the name. Zhang Guoqing was indeed a suitable candidate for general manager, but he was now serving as a leader in Baoshi, and it had only been a short time. How could he come back? Isn't that nonsense?

Thinking of this, Li Tang nodded helplessly: "The person you mentioned is indeed very suitable, but it is no longer possible now."

"In other words, the current vice presidents, to be honest, they are far behind compared to Lao Zhang and retired Lao Zhu. In fact, Jianzhong is a good young man. He is careful, steady and has a strong sense of the overall situation. At the same time, I still have academic qualifications, but I’m still too young and need some training.”

Jianzhong refers to Tong Jianzhong, the former deputy director of the Administration Office and now the director of the No. 4 Factory in the provincial capital. He is only thirty-six years old.

He worked as a secretary for Li Tang and the deputy director of the secretarial office. He was also a student of Song Xiaohui in college, and he was definitely a direct descendant of Miao Hong.

It is indeed too early to mention him now, there is still a gap in the middle.

Li Tang didn't speak. He just picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of water. After putting down the cup, he raised his hand to touch his hair and sighed with emotion.

"Soldiers who have an iron camp and a flowing water, no matter what, work hard from now on."
