Chapter 52: Sudden Event (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  Chapter 52: Sudden Event

  It was close to midnight when everyone finally left the Oceanus Casino, and Huang Dalong's people sent them home in separate cars.

  To be honest, if Song Guo and Peng Yuanzheng were not present, Zhou Dayong and Li Mingran would definitely have taken the beautiful women in their arms to spend the night. Wine is a catalyst for lust, let alone under Huang Dalong's subtle suggestion, several women took the initiative, and Zhou Dayong and Li Mingran were in their prime, naturally unable to resist temptation.

  There were two people who didn't get along, Song Guo and Peng Yuanzheng.

  Song Guo had two reasons for this: first, he was a high-flyer and wouldn't bother with ordinary women even if he had desires; second, the reason he was willing to associate with Huang Dalong was because of Huang's younger sister, Huang Yingying. Huang Yingying was a senior at the Provincial Art Academy, and Song Guo fell in love with her at first sight. In order to get close to Huang Yingying, he endured his disgust and associated with Huang Dalong.

  As for Peng Yuanzheng, he is not a hypocrite like Liu Xiahui who sits in his arms without being disturbed. He has normal desires. However, he does not want to have a one-night stand with an unfamiliar woman, even if it's possible to be irresponsible. Moreover, his identity is at stake, and if he doesn't keep himself clean, Grandfather Feng will definitely be furious when he finds out, affecting his future position in the Feng family.

  Peng Yuanzheng sat in Huang Dalong's American leopard, and through the window he saw that girl Tong Yuyun standing on one side with a red face waving at him. He rolled up the window and turned his head away.

  Zhou Dayong, sitting in the passenger seat, burst out laughing, "Far Expedition, I think that little girl has a crush on you, why not take her down!"

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled but did not speak.

  Song Guo Hui smiled in his heart, he understood Peng Yuan Zheng's mentality very well. In a certain sense, the two of them had some similarities in their personalities, people at their level had high standards, how could they possibly indulge in casual relationships with an ordinary woman.

  The next morning, Peng Yuanzheng went to the municipal party committee office as usual. After entering the office building, he exchanged greetings with old and new colleagues who came and went, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

  Many people had a mysterious and excited look on their faces, as soon as they entered the news department's office, Ma Zi and Wang Na had already arrived. As soon as they saw Peng Yuanzheng, Wang Na felt a little guilty and lowered her head, then raised it again to smile and greet him proactively, "You're early, Comrade Yuanzheng!"

  Peng Yuanzheng's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he also smiled and nodded at Wang Na. Last night, he didn't break through that layer of window paper with Wang Na, pretending not to know each other, it was just an unspoken understanding.

  Wang Na's attitude towards Peng Yuanzheng was unusual, and Ma Zi looked at him with some surprise. But Ma Zi didn't have time to think about it now, and instead walked over, chuckling and lowering his voice to say, "Do you know?"

  "What's up?"

  "You really don't know? Sun Ping and Director Zhu had an accident, it's a matter of style!"

  "Ah?!" Peng Yuanzheng was somewhat surprised, the bottle stopper in his hand didn't cover it well, and with a "peng" sound, it bounced back up and fell to the ground.

  He frowned and said softly, "Ma Ge, this kind of thing can't be spoken carelessly."

  Ma Zi helplessly clapped his hands and said, "Look at me, dare I speak nonsense? Involving the leader, dare I speak nonsense?"

  "It's said that the two of them were playing in Director Zhu's office after work yesterday afternoon, and were caught red-handed by Director Zhu's wife... I heard that Director Zhu's wife made a big scene on the spot and even called Director Xiao - as a result, Director Xiao verbally ordered Zhu Chengrong to be suspended from duty, and had Director Li take over his responsibilities."

  Peng Yuanzheng heard a waterfall of sweat. How is this possible?

  He really couldn't understand why Director Zhu would fall for Sun Ping, a middle-aged woman who lacked both looks and figure, had no inner qualities and no temperament, and was generally a shrew.

  Then Gong Hanlin also walked in with a gloomy face.

  Ma Zi didn't dare to discuss anything with Peng Yuanzheng again and honestly returned to his own office desk, pretending to write materials.

  "Far Chong, the meeting this afternoon has been cancelled and postponed. It's not certain when it will be held." Gong Hanlin said hoarsely. Zhu Chengrong had an accident, so of course the meeting couldn't be held.

  "Oh, I see, Gong Ke."

  In the morning, Peng Yuanzheng heard that people from other departments were also discussing it, with rumors spreading all over the sky. Many people added oil and vinegar to supplement many details. For example, how Zhu Chengrong's wife got the news, how she broke in the door, and how she called Director Xiao...

  Actually, all of this is just speculation out of thin air. Zhu Chengrong and Sun Ping did have an accident, but things aren't that complicated.

  Sun Ping was criticized and struggled in the department, feeling suffocated, so she ran to Zhu Chengrong's place to vent her grievances. As she spoke, she sat on the sofa in Zhu Chengrong's office and burst into tears. Zhu Chengrong went over to comfort her and promised Sun Ping that he would help her transfer out of the news department to another department when there was an opportunity.

  Sun Ping cried excitedly and somehow fell into Zhu Chengrong's arms. Zhu Chengrong was also momentarily stunned, patting Sun Ping's shoulder and hugging her as they sat on the sofa, seemingly subconsciously touching Sun Ping's body a few times.

  It serves him right. Zhu Chengrong's wife, Zhang Yanqiu, is a deputy director of the municipal party committee office. She came to her husband's office on her way home from work and was going to call out to Zhu Chengrong to go home together, which she usually didn't do.

  The two of them really didn't do anything, otherwise the door wouldn't be left unclose.

  Zhang Yanqiu pushed the door open and saw Zhu Chengrong hugging Sun Ping, the scene was simply indescribable. On the spot, she erupted. Zhang Yanqiu wasn't someone to be trifled with, she went forward, grabbed Sun Ping's hair, and slapped her several times.

  Sun Ping was no match for Zhang Yanqiu, and her clothes were torn and her face was swollen. With Zhang Yanqiu making a big fuss, some government officials who had not yet finished work came over to watch the commotion, and this incident spread quickly.

  Before long, Municipal Committee Standing Committee member and Propaganda Department Head Xiao Jun also received the news and rushed back to the department to handle it. Seeing that his subordinates had such a shameful work style problem, he was furious and reported to Municipal Committee Secretary Xue after which he verbally ordered Zhu Chengrong and Sun Ping to be suspended from their duties.

  This piece of gossip spread quickly, by the time it was late afternoon, not only had it spread throughout the propaganda department, but also to other departments and units in the municipal party committee, everyone knew about it.

  People's words are intimidating. Although Zhu Chengrong will not be suspended or demoted because of this minor matter, it is inevitable that he will be transferred from the Publicity Department and demoted. For Zhu Chengrong, this can also be considered an unexpected disaster.

  If it weren't for some misunderstanding, even a woman like Sun Ping would make him feel disgusted.

  Peng Yuanzheng returned home from work and did not see his mother, Meng Lin. He found it a bit strange, as at this time, his mother had usually started preparing dinner at home.

  Peng Yuanzheng entered the kitchen and prepared to cook for his mother.

  He was busy in the kitchen when Meng Lin was in Cao Da Peng's office in the Xian'an Machinery Factory building, having a conversation with the Party Secretary.

  Xin'an Machinery Factory is a provincial enterprise, a deputy ministerial unit, and a large military-industrial enterprise transformed. The factory has seven branches and many tertiary units, with more than 10,000 employees. However, after entering the 1990s, due to no longer undertaking military tasks, the economic benefits of the machinery factory began to decline.

  Under the overall situation of state-owned enterprise reform in China, according to the arrangement of the Provincial Machinery Industry Bureau, Xin'an Machinery Factory also began to promote the strategy of reducing staff and increasing efficiency. Of course, with the principle of being positive and prudent, the reduction of personnel started from the headquarters of the factory.

  The headquarters of the factory has 10 major departments and directly affiliated units, with more than 500 people. The plan is to lay off 100 people and then transfer another 100 people. Meng Lin, who is older in age, is on the list of those being laid off.
