13: Huang Liang: What Chief Huang? Just call me Xiao Huang.

During the banquet, everyone exchanged toasts, and it didn't disperse until two in the afternoon.

A drunken Wang Zizhong grabbed Ma Quanlin's hand: "Director Ma, the future of the workers at Shanmao Tractor Factory is in your hands."

"Don't worry, old brother. Director Lu listens to me the most; I'll take care of this."

After knocking back two or three taels of baijiu, Ma Quanlin slapped his chest loudly.

This scene happened to be seen by Bai Xiaoying, who was waiting outside, livestreaming.

[Holy crap! These big bosses are drunk!]

[Isn't that Director Ma from Julong Steel? Where's the handsome and wealthy Director Lu?]

[The one next to him is President Wang from Shanmao Tractor Factory. Looking at them, it seems the two companies are going to collaborate.]

Bai Xiaoying was quite disappointed that she hadn't been able to interview Lu Shenwei.

"Sister Mu, you have wide connections. Could you help me arrange a private meeting with Director Lu Shenwei another day?"

"You're still not giving up? You want to meet him?"

Mu Guchan knew that although Lu Shenwei seemed amiable when speaking, he wouldn't even give Director Zhou face when he got serious, and had even dared to block Director Zhou in the hallway.

In all the years since Qinchuan opened up, Lu Shenwei was the first tough character to dare to block a director.

"Sister, please help me."

Bai Xiaoying tugged on Mu Guchan's arm, acting spoiled.

"I give up. I'll talk to Director Zhou later and see if I can bring you along when we do an exclusive interview with Julong Steel."

Hearing Mu Guchan say this, Bai Xiaoying was instantly all smiles.

The banquet officially ended, and Zhou Wen arranged for people to send each of the bosses away.

Huang Liang let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Huang Liang, where are you going?"

"Director, I'm going to send them off."

"You kid, be sharper in the future. Fortunately, Director Lu didn't hold a grudge, otherwise something big would have happened today."

"You're right to scold me, Director. It's my fault for not doing my homework."

Who the hell could have guessed that the billionaire Chairman of Julong Steel would wear the same outfit as the receptionist today?

"Drive my car to take Director Ma back, and make sure to apologize when you see Director Lu," Zhou Wen said sternly.

Although Lu Shenwei didn't care about these formalities, Zhou Wen knew that the kid had a lot of pride inside.

He took over a steel factory on the verge of bankruptcy at twenty-two, brought it back to life in two years, and led the workers into high-tech industries.

How could someone like that not be proud? If it were me, I'd be even prouder than him!

"Don't worry, Director. If I make another mistake, I'll resign before you can even discipline me."

Huang Liang patted his chest in assurance, and Zhou Wen waved his hand, urging him to leave quickly.

Huang Liang helped the drunken Ma Quanlin into the car, and the other two tipsy vice-directors were also shoved inside.

"Go to Julong Steel Factory. Drive steadily; don't make the three directors throw up."

Huang Liang drove the three unconscious men, and before long, he arrived at the entrance of the Julong Steel Factory area.

"Lu Shenwei, get out here!"

"Lu Shenwei! I know you're inside. Was breaking up back then just to test me? Very good, you win!"

"I, Su Qing, admit that I misjudged you back then. Come out, let's make up."

Huang Liang adjusted his glasses: "Who is this crazy woman? Why hasn't anyone chased her away?"

Huang Liang helped Ma Quanlin walk to the gatehouse, and Old Liu, the gatekeeper, opened the door to let them in.

"Director Ma and the others usually have a good tolerance for alcohol. How did they get so drunk?"

It would be strange if they weren't drunk; Wang Zizhong and the others took turns toasting them.

You have to realize that Wang Zizhong is a man from Subei. How could you Northwestern men dare to drink against him?

Northeast tigers and Northwest wolves can't beat a Subei little lamb.

"Is Director Lu here? I'm Huang Liang from the Municipal Bureau."

"The Director is in his office. I'll take you there."

When Huang Liang saw Lu Shenwei again, the latter was convening a launch meeting for the drone production line.

Lu Shenwei said politely: "Hello, Section Chief Huang."

Hearing this, Huang Liang shivered: "Director Lu, I'm not much older than you. Just call me Little Huang."

Little Huang?

It must be because Director Zhou dealt with him regarding the sign-in this morning.

Seeing through it without saying it, Lu Shenwei said politely: "Thank you for personally bringing our three directors back."

"Don't be polite, Director Lu. Our Director Zhou said that helping enterprises solve difficulties is part of our duty," Huang Liang said with a laugh.

Old Liu stepped forward and whispered: "Director, that girl Su Qing is still blocking the gate."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shenwei's face darkened: "Tell security to chase her away. If she doesn't leave, call the police."

"Director Lu, you go ahead and get busy. I'll come visit again later."

Huang Liang left tactfully, and Lu Shenwei said politely: "Help me see Section Chief Huang out."

On the way out, Huang Liang finally figured out that the person blocking the gate was Lu Shenwei's ex-girlfriend.

"She couldn't share the hard times before, but now that Director Lu has taken off, this bitch has come back to climb the social ladder."

"Section Chief Huang is right. That bitch just wants to climb the social ladder. Our Director is benevolent and can't be bothered to argue with her."

"If she doesn't leave, we'll call the police, and you can just act as a witness."

Huang Liang raised his hand: "No need for such trouble. Our Bureau of Industry and Commerce also has law enforcement powers."

"This crazy woman is already suspected of affecting the normal operations of the enterprise, so I can arrest her!"

Having finally caught a chance to perform, Huang Liang wouldn't miss it.

"Don't make a move in a moment; I'm wearing a law enforcement camera."

With Huang Liang's words, the security guards were happy to be free from the trouble.

That crazy woman Su Qing was the Director's ex-girlfriend; they had to consider their status if they wanted to use force, but Huang Liang had no such concerns.

"Loud noises are prohibited in public areas!" Huang Liang said loudly, with a law enforcement camera pinned to his chest.

Su Qing said disdainfully: "Who the hell are you? Meddling in other people's business!"

When scrolling through videos this morning, she accidentally saw a clip of Lu Shenwei receiving an award.

Su Qing was shocked at the time; she knew that Julong Steel Factory hadn't gone bankrupt, but she didn't expect it to have developed so well.

An enterprise that pays millions of dollars in taxes annually—what kind of concept is that?

The annual revenue is probably over a hundred million longxia currency!

She had a background in finance; when it came to accounting, no one could beat her.

Back when Lu Shenwei took his parents' pension to take over Julong Steel Factory, she had calculated that it would definitely lose money.

She never expected that she had misjudged. The rich second-generation she was currently clinging to was like night and day compared to Lu Shenwei, a self-made rich first-generation.

Her younger brother was waiting for 400,000 in bride price to get married, and another million to buy a house.

If she could get back together with Lu Shenwei, wouldn't Julong Steel Factory just become her, Su Qing's, asset?

"Shrew, if you don't leave, I'll escort you out!" Huang Liang wouldn't put up with her.

Su Qing shrieked: "I am Lu Shenwei's girlfriend. Just try touching me!"

"Director Lu's girlfriend? Why don't you go pee and look at your reflection? With your appearance, could Director Lu ever fancy you?"

Huang Liang was a first-prize winner in the Municipal Bureau's debate competition; when it came to roasting people, he had never lost.

"You're full of crap! Lu Shenwei, I know you're inside, come out!"

"You're not coming out, right? You set a mad dog to bite me!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Liang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Su Qing's wrist, causing her to shriek in pain.

Insulting law enforcement officers, you've really gone too far!
