“The woman wants to break off the engagement with Wang Yongsheng?” Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang’s face suddenly darkened.

“Sister-in-law is a nice person, but her family is determined to cancel the engagement. Brother Sheng’s father wanted to go to her house to talk, but he didn’t even get in.” Little Cannon looked frustrated. He continued, “Brother Sheng is still in prison and doesn’t know about this. We brothers used our connections to get him to meet with her. Brother Sheng wanted to meet Sister Li, but we were afraid that he would be upset, so we said that our factory hospital had organized Sister Li and the others to study in other places, and they would not be back for a while…”

“Uh.” Hearing this, Xu Qiang suddenly understood.

When they were celebrating the Spring Festival at the factory before, Wang Yongsheng had told Xu Qiang that they might get engaged on May 1st Labor Day. Xu Qiang had been thinking about this matter and was planning to give them both a big gift. After all, Wang Yongsheng was indeed very righteous in the beginning. Not only did he block the three Zhao brothers for him, but later with his help, the soap and shampoo cream were sold well, allowing Xu Qiang to make a lot of money.

As a result, there has been no news from Wang Yongsheng and his friends in the past few months, and they haven’t even written a letter, which made Xu Qiang a little puzzled. It was not until now that he realized that Wang Yongsheng had committed a crime two months ago and was still in the detention center.

“…So I came here this time to borrow some money from you, Brother Qiang. Any amount is fine.” Little Cannon had completely lost his previous arrogance and courage. He continued, “We really have no other choice. Our families are not well-off. We only made some money in the past two years by following Brother Sheng, but this time we lost it all…”

“I understand.” Xu Qiang nodded and fell into deep thought.

Xu Qiang actually believed what Xiao Gangpao said. Although this group of people always acted arrogantly in the factory, they were not bad to the core. Moreover, during the time Xu Qiang had been interacting with them, he found that these people were indeed very righteous.

As for money, this group of people did make some money by doing business with Wang Yongsheng, but their daily expenses were also quite high. They smoked good cigarettes and went to restaurants whenever they had nothing to do. They simply could not save much money, so at this point, they were completely broke.

“How about this, I’ll go back to the factory with you and I’ll pay for the shortfall. We have to resolve Wang Yongsheng’s issue as soon as possible!” After a moment, Xu Qiang said to Xiao Gangpao.

“Xu Qiang, aren’t you going to BJ? The department has been waiting for you for a week.” Liu Siying frowned when she heard this.

“Yes, Qiangzi, Minister Zhang is waiting for you to come over. Aren’t you going to take over that project?” He Yonghong also hurriedly reminded him at this time.

“My brother’s business is more important than anything else!” Xu Qiang replied directly, and then said to He Yonghong: “Old He, go buy two train tickets to Fuzhou now. I will take Xiao Gangpao to have a meal first. It would be best if we can leave today.”

“But……”

“Go!”

“Okay, I’ll buy you tickets right away.” Seeing that Xu Qiang had made up his mind, He Yonghong had no choice but to leave the dormitory with a helpless look on his face.

“Brother Qiang, do you have important matters to discuss? I heard that you are now the person in charge of a national key project. Otherwise, I can wait for a few days…” Hearing the conversation between Xu Qiang and the other two, Xiao Gangpao was also surprised and said quickly.

The news that Xu Qiang was the person in charge of a national key project and had won an award at BJ had already spread throughout the factory. Today, Xu Qiang has become the biggest “star” in the factory and an idol for many young employees.

Even for Wang Yongsheng and his group, they are proud to know Xu Qiang, and they also feel that Xu Qiang’s current status is no longer the same as before, and he is no longer a person of a different level.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Gangpao traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai to find Xu Qiang, because he felt that Xu Qiang’s current status was not ordinary and he might be able to make things worse.

However, Wang Yongsheng and his younger brothers also knew that no one in the factory wanted to have anything to do with them now, especially since Xu Qiang was doing so well now, he might not even bother to associate with them, so they didn’t hold out much hope.

But Xiao Gangpao was very moved by Xu Qiang’s words just now, which showed that Xu Qiang still recognized this friendship and really regarded them as brothers.

“We can’t delay this any longer. If we don’t get the other party’s letter of forgiveness as soon as possible, we might have to give him a heavy sentence!” Xu Qiang shook his head and continued, “In addition, we have to stabilize Li Lin’s family first and tell them not to cancel the engagement in a hurry. If they really cancel the engagement, I’m afraid Yongsheng will be stimulated and do something stupid in prison.”

In fact, at this time, Xu Qiang wanted to save Wang Yongsheng not for business reasons at all, because compared with the profits of the dye factory, the profits of the shampoo and other things sold by Wang Yongsheng and others were not high at all. Besides, now that something had happened, he would not be able to sell them in the future.

The crux of the problem is that Xu Qiang’s dye factory does not have the qualifications to produce daily chemical products such as shampoo and soap. Now Wang Yongsheng is very tight-lipped and has not leaked this matter, but if he is stimulated and even gives himself away, Xu Qiang will definitely be implicated.

In addition, Wang Yongsheng had helped Xu Qiang in the beginning. If it weren’t for Wang Yongsheng and his gang, he and the three brothers of the Zhao family would definitely be entangled in the factory, and something might have happened. Later, they helped him make a lot of money. So no matter from a practical point of view or from an emotional point of view, Xu Qiang could not just stand by and watch them die. This matter must be resolved.

“Student Luo Zhongshun, if you need money, I have 1,500 yuan here. I will withdraw it for you later…” Liu Siying also said to Xiao Gangpao at this time.

The 1,500 yuan that Liu Siying received was the bonus she received when she and Xu Qiang went to BJ to receive the prize. The total amount was 3,000 yuan at the time, and Xu Qiang simply divided the money in half.

After receiving the money, Liu Siying never spent it and deposited it directly in the bank. She had very low material needs and could not spend all the salary from the factory. “I won’t use your money.” Xu Qiang said, and then said to Xiao Gangpao: “Go to the water room next door to wash your face first, and I will take you to the cafeteria for dinner later.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Gangpao responded and left the dormitory.

“Are you really planning to go back to the factory? What about the things in the department?” Liu Siying asked after seeing Xiao Gangpao leave.

“What else can we do? Let the department wait first.” Xu Qiang curled his lips and continued, “Now it’s important to save people. Yongsheng is sometimes impulsive. I’m afraid he will do something stupid, so we have to solve his family problems.”

“Wang Yongsheng is a nice guy. We are classmates. I want to help him, but I…”

“I told you, you don’t have to worry about this. I can handle it by myself.”

“What are you going to do?”

“What else can I do? I can just pay you to settle it…” Xu Qiang spread his hands and continued, “The CZ City Government paid me all the money yesterday, including your 5,000 yuan…”

“I don’t want this money. I didn’t help you with your project. You can keep it for yourself.” Liu Siying shook her head and said, “Are you planning to spend all the money?”

“I don’t know the specific situation now, but the money is definitely enough,” said Xu Qiang.

“It’s a pity that Wang Yongsheng was fired from the factory. If he gets out, it won’t be easy for him to find a new job.” Liu Siying bit her lip and said, “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll ask my dad to arrange for him to work in the tertiary industry of the factory. I don’t know if it will work…”

“You don’t have to worry about this. As long as he can come out, I can solve his work problems.” Xu Qiang said confidently.

In Xu Qiang’s opinion, Wang Yongsheng is indeed good at doing business, especially good at communicating with people, and is a good candidate for a salesperson.

If Xu Qiang wants to develop in Shanghai in the future, he will need such talents. The two have a close relationship and Xu Qiang trusts him quite a bit.

“What about the other matters in the department? We’ve already been notified for more than a week, but it’s still not going through. Minister Zhang will definitely be angry, right?” Liu Siying said with a frown.

“Let him wait first!”

“What you said, don’t you want to take on new projects?” Liu Siying was obviously dissatisfied with Xu Qiang’s tone.

“Isn’t this exactly what you want? Just now you advised me not to take this project.” Xu Qiang smiled slightly and continued, “Besides, I can guarantee that this 8702 project belongs to me!”

“You are too proud, aren’t you?”

“It’s not pride, it’s the truth. If Minister Zhang could find someone to take over this project, he wouldn’t consider me at all. He has no other choice, so he wants to call me over.” Xu Qiang looked confident, and he continued, “You have to understand that from the beginning I asked to build a special chemical laboratory in Shanghai after taking over this project. If there were other candidates, if you were the leader, would you spend so much money to find a rookie like me?”

From the very beginning, Xu Qiang had already calculated this. Apart from him, no one was willing to take over the hot potato of 8702. After all, this project not only had extremely high technical barriers, but was also quite dangerous.

Even though this project is easy to win awards, for those top experts, they would rather engage in safe research and development projects, which can also win awards. There is no need to do such a project that requires them to worry all day long.

“I won’t say anything if you want to go.” Liu Siying nodded and said after a moment, “Please take a letter home for me.”

“No problem.” Xu Qiang nodded, and then said: “In addition, I think we should buy some more things from Shanghai and bring them back to our parents…”

“Bah! How shameless! They are my parents!” Liu Siying immediately understood Xu Qiang’s thoughts and said with a blushing face.

“Yes, yes, your parents… are actually the same!” Xu Qiang chuckled and said, “We’ll go out together later and buy as much as we can. You’ll be the advisor and I’ll pay. That’s it!” (End of this chapter)
