1:50 PM.
Yang Xiaotao's car stopped right on time downstairs in front of Chen Lao's office building.
After getting out of the car and straightening his clothes, Yang Xiaotao nodded to Wang Hao and then walked into the office building.
As soon as I entered, I saw Secretary Guo, who was waiting to the side, rushing forward anxiously, his face showing obvious worry.
"Mr. Yang, you've finally arrived."
"If we don't come soon, the people inside will get impatient."
Secretary Guo glanced at the time and then said anxiously.
Yang Xiaotao walked at a leisurely pace, even stopping occasionally to glance at his watch. "I'm not late."
"The meeting was supposed to start at 2 p.m., so it's still early."
Secretary Guo immediately gave a wry smile upon hearing this.
A meeting usually only covers two points; nobody tries to squeeze in right at the last minute.
They generally arrive early to show respect for the meeting.
But now, Yang Xiaotao is clearly here to slap him in the face.
Thinking of this, Secretary Guo's palms became a little damp.
"Mr. Yang, let's go inside quickly."
Secretary Guo led the way, while Yang Xiaotao walked calmly along. "Secretary Guo, who are the attendees at the meeting?"
Who is leading this?
Secretary Guo paused, then took a deep breath and came to Yang's side, saying, "President Yang."
"The meeting was naturally chaired by the leader, after all, this time the amount of money involved is over 100 million, and the leader needs to provide an explanation."
"As for the people who came, the leader was Director Yao."
"Who?"
"Director Yao."
Secretary Guo said confidently. Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly. Was this guy going to jump back again?
Speaking of which, this Director Yao is quite a figure.
Putting aside historical factors from his previous life, in this parallel world, Comrade Yao is definitely someone who is good at adapting to circumstances.
After several clashes with Yang Xiaotao and the Ninth Division, not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also suffered heavy losses among his men.
To Yang Xiaotao's shock, he had originally thought that the two sides would fight to the death until a victor emerged.
Of course, in the end, he definitely won.
All we need to do is send Xiaowei, and all problems will be solved.
Moreover, it can be done so secretly that no one can figure it out, no matter how hard they try.
But unexpectedly, this guy 'betrayed' them.
He has actually returned to the embrace of the revolution. How can he possibly take action now?
I can't find a reason to do it.
Just like when radioactive material broke out on the Japanese islands last time, the Ninth Department happened to have imported two medical devices, and the confrontation at that time was very intense.
As it turned out, this guy jumped into the water at the crucial moment, catching his side off guard. They never expected that this guy would defect to their side.
Later, regarding the natural gas project, this guy openly sided with his own side, which made Yang Xiaotao a little suspicious. Could he be a 'spy' who had infiltrated the team?
However, during this period, this guy not only did not jump out to find fault with the West-East Gas Pipeline project, but he also reportedly helped coordinate local work and did a lot of practical things, which really impressed Yang Xiaotao.
Now that they've come again, are they going to jump back again?
As Yang Xiaotao was pondering, Secretary Guo continued, "Besides Director Yao, there's also Team Leader Gu Yuan and Deputy Team Leader Chen Bo."
Yang Xiaotao was naturally familiar with the names Gu Yuan and Chen Bo.
The two were key personnel in the last Jiaolong incident, but compared to them, Director Yao was merely there to make a name for himself.
Both men were young and ambitious, driven by a strong desire to investigate the Jiaolong submersible incident and take action against nuclear power plants in order to achieve success and rise to prominence.
Unfortunately, these two guys were all talk and no action, but they were actually quite incompetent. They had little ability but insisted on showing off, and in the end, they were taken away by the Internal Affairs Department for investigation.
Is it out again?
There must be powerful backers behind them!
"So, it's these two again who jumped out this time?"
Secretary Guo nodded, "Yes, it seems that this time it was led by two people. There are a few others, but they are just here to listen in."
At this point, Secretary Guo whispered, "President Yang, please don't let this escalate."
"The leader said that we can use the money as long as we don't cause any trouble, there's nothing they can do about it."
"Anyway, the final result is good; the process doesn't matter. We need to look forward."
Secretary Guo patiently persuaded him, and Yang Xiaotao naturally nodded repeatedly.
Judging from Yang Xiaotao's appearance and his overly formal attitude, Secretary Guo was certain that Yang Xiaotao hadn't listened to a word.
Ugh!
These leaders are all incredibly difficult to please.
After making a mental note, the two arrived at the conference room.
As Secretary Guo opened the door, Yang Xiaotao walked in from outside.
In the conference room, Old Chen sat at the head of the conference table, his hands resting on the table, with nothing in front of him except an enamel mug.
Even when Yang Xiaotao came in, Old Chen didn't move, as if he were asleep.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and immediately understood what Old Chen meant.
I'm going to sleep tonight, you can do whatever you want.
Then I saw the other people in the house.
To Old Chen's right, near the door, sat Director Yao, with five other people sitting around him.
Gu Yuan and Chen Bo were right behind them.
Behind these six people were several secretaries or clerks.
On Old Chen's left, the first seat was empty, presumably reserved for himself.
The area around it was also full of people.
Yang Xiaotao glanced around and saw that they were all people from the office building, including various directors and section chiefs.
The key is that there are a lot of people, almost twice the number of the other side!
It was probably arranged by Old Chen to boost morale.
Even so, facing a group of directors and section chiefs, their imposing manner was completely suppressed.
It's important to know that these people wield real power.
Even the ringleaders have the authority to approve and verify the funds.
Papapa
Just as Yang Xiaotao took two steps forward, a round of applause rang out from his right.
Then a group of people stood up with big smiles on their faces and gave a warm welcome.
Everyone is smart enough to see that, given Yang Xiaotao's current situation and the attitude shown by Elder Chen, there is no one else who can replace him as the future successor.
This is the future boss, who would dare to disrespect him?
Moreover, he is a leader in the high-tech industry, which is essentially his second-in-command here.
With such a powerful background, who wouldn't have some sense of propriety?
What's more, these are family members.
Looking at his enthusiastic comrades, Yang Xiaotao smiled and joined in the applause.
At this moment, Director Yao, who was sitting on the right, also stood up and clapped. Seeing this, others around him also stood up, while others remained seated.
Gu Yuan and Chen Bo, in particular, were extremely unwilling when they saw Director Yao stand up and applaud.
The two sides have already fallen out over the Jiaolong submersible incident.
If it weren't for the higher-ups intervening on their behalf and acting as guarantors, they wouldn't have been released.
They came to this meeting at the behest of their superiors.
They just didn't expect that Director Yao would be there to supervise them this time, which made the two of them feel like their hands and feet were tied, and they felt very uncomfortable!
Seeing that Director Yao had gotten up, the two of them really didn't want to get up either.
Director Yao glanced at the two of them discreetly, while several others, who had just gotten off their chairs, seemed unsure whether to continue sitting up or down.
I sighed inwardly. I was still too young and didn't understand any principles of life.
With teammates like that, it's no wonder we can't win!
Before these people could hesitate, Yang Xiaotao had already come to the left-hand seat and gestured down, saying, "You're too kind, you're too kind."
"We're all on the same side, everyone, please sit down!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke politely, and the smiles on the faces of those around him and behind him became even more natural.
In contrast, Director Yao's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Can you please not say it out loud?!
However, Director Yao didn't say anything and simply sat down.
As for the gazes of the two people beside him, he pretended not to notice them!
"lead!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled down at Old Chen, then smiled at the people beside him and said, "Sorry everyone, something came up and I was held up!"
"No problem, no problem, it's not time yet!"
"Yes, yes, everyone here just arrived too..."
Several people were clearly lying through their teeth.
Gu Yuan and the others scoffed inwardly; they had arrived an hour early.
I've drunk quite a bit of water, and I need to go to the toilet!
Yang Xiaotao immediately exchanged pleasantries with the others, when Old Chen, who had been standing still, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
"arranged."
“Thirteen people came from Japan, right? I’ve arranged for one hundred and thirty people to follow them around the clock, to ensure they return the same way they came!”
Old Chen chuckled and said, "They've come to learn and visit, so don't cause any trouble."
"No, no, they're international friends, and they even gave us money. They're a big client, how could we dare to mess with them..."
As he spoke, the people behind him laughed again.
Everyone present knew that Japan had ordered one million Dawn computers, each costing $30,000 at market price, totaling $30 billion.
If this isn't a major client, then who is?
Director Yao sat there with a smile on his face.
After all, the more money they earn, the better their lives become.
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny; not everyone can keep generating electricity with love forever.
As for Gu Yuan and Chen Bo, they both snorted coldly.
These are all the wealth created by the people; they are the property of the people!
When did it become a personal honor?
"But this guy is really rich! He can just take 30 billion without a second thought. How extravagant!"
"Unlike us, with a hundred million or two hundred million, which translates to only tens of millions of US dollars, we're very frugal with our money, sigh..."
"If this gets out, won't our lives be even worse than a simple life?"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he glanced at Director Yao.
As for the others, they're not in the same league, I wouldn't even look at them!
Upon hearing this, Director Yao nearly dropped the cup beside him.
Does he even know how to talk?
If we can't even live a decent life, then we're worse off than the Japanese devils.
You're not even as good as a ghost, what have you become!
That bastard, his mouth is really venomous!
Director Yao took two deep breaths and then remained calm.
Continue to remain silent!
So what if you're sharp-tongued?
He's not lacking anything!
Besides, I'm in Cao Cao's camp but my heart is with Han, so a little grievance is nothing to mention!
But while Director Yao managed to hold back, Gu Yuan, standing beside him, couldn't stand it any longer. He took a deep breath and chimed in, "President Yang, the one or two hundred million you mentioned earlier must be referring to the subsidies for rural education, right?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the other person, then looked at Director Yao, "Is this one of your people?"
Director Yao glanced at Yang Xiaotao, but didn't say anything. He simply picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
In her heart, she was quite dissatisfied with Gu Yuan. Did this guy not even know the rules?
Before I could even speak, this guy said it first.
But the guy on the other side isn't a good guy either. He's not my man, he's a revolutionary comrade.
Our people!
Seeing Old Chen's indifferent attitude and the sneer hidden in the corner of his eye, Director Yao understood that he really didn't want to come this time.
However, Director Yao was speechless when he thought of the woman behind him.
Given the current situation, can't we learn from that person?
Can't we just eat soybeans quietly?
Ugh.
woman.
Cough
Director Yao coughed twice, interrupting Gu Yuan, and then said, "President Yang, this is Comrade Gu Yuan, who is also a participant in this meeting!"
"this."
"Comrade Gu Yuan is young and there are some things he can't understand."
"Asking questions when you don't understand is a fine revolutionary tradition, don't you think, General Yang?"
Yang Xiaotao maintained a smile, but Gu Yuan and Chen Bo were seething with anger, wishing they could jump up and slap this bastard.
What does it mean to be young?
They are several years older than Yang Xiaotao.
"Since Director Yao has spoken up, I can't refuse to give you face."
Yang Xiaotao said calmly, then looked at Gu Yuan, who was speaking, "Comrade Gu Yuan, please speak."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "President Yang, I still stand by what I said before, regarding the school subsidy. Now is a crucial period for the whole country to build and develop industry."
"Every penny must be spent wisely and carefully considered."
“You are using precious funds to subsidize schooling at this time, and in such large amounts, and every year.”
"May I ask, what was your mindset when you made this decision?"
"Is it to satisfy personal vanity?"
bang bang
Gu Yuan was about to say something more when Yang Xiaotao slammed his hand on the table and rudely interrupted him, "Shut your stinking mouth."
"you?"
Gu Yuan was furious, but Yang Xiaotao looked directly at Director Yao and said, "Director Yao, I have some honest advice for you."
Director Yao was taken aback, and everyone present was also confused about Yang Xiaotao's meaning.
Old Chen's eyes held a hint of mockery.
Then Yang Xiaotao said, "Don't hang out with these idiots, because stupidity is contagious."
