Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

This is Zhang Jiaqiang’s first time visiting a colleague’s factory.

Based on the idea that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, he planned to take a closer look at their management and production processes.

Unexpectedly, the originally arranged visit was just a formality. He didn't even enter the workshop. He just walked through the factory area and was taken to the restaurant by Gao Xuewen.

Zhang Jiaqiang secretly laughed in his heart, he was really inspecting me as a leader.

The internal restaurant of Jiangcheng Lighter Factory is actually part of the canteen. It is large in size and has a good decoration environment.

In addition to the business entertainment in the factory, he also does business with external parties to generate income, which can be regarded as a model of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

Today, banners were hung at the door, and the lights and decorations were decorated as if it were a festival. It looked like a distinguished guest was coming.

Zhang Jiaqiang was already able to resist. He just glanced at the welcome banner and followed Gao Xuewen's lead through the door and went straight to the second floor.

"I said, Lao Gao, we are all pragmatic people, there is no need to engage in such tricks!"

Gao Xuewen smiled bitterly and said, "You think I like it? This is what our factory director means. I welcome you in the warmest way!"

After Zhang Jiaqiang heard this, he immediately became interested in the factory director. With such a sense of ritual, he must have well-organized operations and management. Today, he needs to broaden his horizons.

The group walked through the long corridor and came to a thick golden wooden door.

Gao Xuewen made a gesture to invite him in, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

As the wooden door opens, a huge round dining table comes into view.

The table was already filled with various cold dishes and drinks. There were five or six people sitting at the table, including men, women, old and young.

Gao Xuewen quickly took a few steps and introduced Zhang Jiaqiang first.

"Director Zhang, this is our factory director, Mr. Jin Buhuan!"

A fat man stood up at the main seat and extended his fat palm to Zhang Jiaqiang with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Chang has been a great name for a long time. I am honored to meet you!"

Zhang Jiaqiang also said a few kind words and was pulled by him to sit in the guest of honor seat.

Gao Xuewen immediately introduced the remaining people.

The deputy director is Deputy Director Liu, who is in charge of sales in the factory, and the rest are also senior officials in the factory.

The most eye-catching one was a blond beauty with big waves. She was Wu Xiaoli, the manager of the public relations and sales department. She was sitting next to Zhang Jiaqiang and kept approaching him. It seemed that she wanted to use her special skills to use public relations methods.

Zhang Jiaqiang dodged without leaving a trace, glanced at Factory Director Jin and the others, and said.

"It's so grand. Director Jin, you think so highly of your brother, I have to borrow flowers and offer you a toast today!"

With these words, everyone in the lighter factory smiled. They were afraid that you wouldn't drink. Since they all offered to toast, why don't they drink you down completely?

Director Jin gave the order to serve the food, and the kitchen that had been prepared for a long time became busy. In a short while, all kinds of abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe were served on the table like water.

"Brother Zhang, there are no outsiders here today. I am a few years older than you, so I just call you brother. You won't be angry, right?"

Regarding this boring banquet, Zhang Jiaqiang just wanted to deal with it as soon as possible and get down to business.

But at this moment, due to human feelings, I had to give in for the time being, and immediately agreed, "It is our traditional virtue to be orderly with young and old. I think I am the youngest here, so everyone can just call me Xiao Zhang!"

Everyone laughed apologetically, and the public relations manager Wu Xiaoli suddenly laughed and said, "Director Zhang, a man can't just admit that he is young!"

This kind of dirty accent is common at the wine table, but it is really rare for women to say it.

Her ridicule caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Zhang Jiaqiang also laughed a few times and did not discuss this topic in depth.

At this time, the wine glass was filled. As the host, Director Jin stood up and gave a toast. He immediately took the lead and drank the full glass of liquor, and then looked at Zhang Jiaqiang with a smile.

With such a generous person, there was no way to avoid the drink, so Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to drink from the glass.

After Director Jin saluted three times, he winked at Deputy Director Liu and handed the baton to him.

Deputy Director Liu picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Logically speaking, I should be like the leader, but today Director Zhang comes to our Jiangcheng for the first time. He must experience the enthusiasm of the people in our Jiangcheng. I suggest that you do as the Romans do. , do you have any objections to following our Jiangcheng rules?"

The staff of Jiangcheng Lighter Factory, including Director Jin, immediately applauded in unison.

Zhang Jiaqiang understood that this was an excuse to get himself drunk, so he immediately looked on and said nothing.

Deputy Director Liu held the wine glass in both hands and walked up to Zhang Jiaqiang very respectfully.

"Whenever a distinguished guest comes to our Jiangcheng, we must do it first, secondly, thirdly, and fourthly to show our respect for the distinguished guest. Come on, Director Zhang, you have to drink the first drink!"

Zhang Jiaqiang immediately understood that their toasting was equivalent to serving wine in some areas. The person toasting did not drink, but held up the wine glass for the guests to drink.

And according to his wishes, he wanted to drink four at a time, and each one was very particular.

The first drink means that the guest has to drink up the first glass, the second drink means that the toaster adds wine to the glass, no matter how much is added, the guest has to drink it all, the escort means that the toaster drinks with him, and the fourth drink means that the last two people add a drink.

One glass of wine is more than one tael, four glasses is nearly half a catty, and two laps require one catty of wine.

This was purely a rogue act, and it was obvious that he wanted to force the guest to lie down before he stopped.

Zhang Jiaqiang knows his drinking capacity, and he can still cope with a pound of wine, but seeing that the people at the table are eager to try it, they will probably have to do it again later. If he goes around for a while, he may really be unconscious.

It was too late to refuse at this moment, so he had no choice but to drink up all four glasses of wine from Deputy Factory Director Liu. Suddenly, a wave of alcohol rushed up from his stomach, and his forehead hurt.

However, just as Deputy Director Liu put down his wine glass, Public Relations Manager Wu Xiaoli stood up again holding the wine glass.

"Director Zhang, I have admired you for a long time. I must give you a chance today to toast you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Jiaqiang picked up the wine glass and decided to survive this scene first.

At this moment, Tie Zhu suddenly stood up and said angrily.

"Can I drink my factory director's wine for him?"

Zhang Jiaqiang was secretly happy to have someone to help share his worries.

This guy is nearly two meters tall and puts a lot of pressure on everyone when he stands up.

Wu Xiaoli almost twisted her neck when she looked at him.

Such a big guy must be able to drink, but it would be unreasonable not to let him drink instead. Wu Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said to scare the big guy.

"Brother, you are cutting in line. According to our rules here, if you cut in line, you will have to drink a double portion!"

However, Tie Zhu was not moved at all and said without changing his expression, "A double portion is eight cups, so you have to accompany four cups, right?"

The previous rules could not be broken. Wu Xiaoli expected that the other party might not dare to drink eight drinks in a row, so she immediately nodded and admitted.

Without saying anything, Tie Zhu picked up his wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank eight full glasses in a row.

This was a pound of wine. After he drank it all, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had drank several bottles of mineral water. Everyone was stunned after seeing this.

Wu Xiaoli's heart trembled, she put down her wine glass and turned around to leave.

"Well, let me go to the toilet first..."
