At this time, in addition to the inspectors from the Shenzhen Tong Company headquarters, Kong Jing's office also had Vice President Liu Zhizhou and General Manager Chang Xiaoping of Sudong Province.
The reason was very simple. Rocket 101 had quietly occupied Jianye University, and the key was not to use the name of Shenzhen Tong Company.
Think about Zhongtong, which was established last year. It also used Shenzhen Tong's resource channels to seize market resources after establishing a new company.
"Manager Kong, do you know about this?"
The inspector from the headquarters asked aggressively.
This is a dilemma. If Kong Jing knew, it would be a cover-up; if she didn't know, it would be a work omission.
Liu Zhizhou couldn't help interrupting: "Kong Jing is my subordinate. Even if there is an omission, I am still responsible for it."
"Boss Liu, I'm sorry."
The people from the headquarters apologized immediately. Liu Zhizhou has a high status in Shenzhen Tong and is in charge of the markets in several provinces in Central China and East China.
"However, this is something Chairman Cheng ordered personally."
After the people at the headquarters apologized, they also said that Cheng Dejun and his wife of Shentong Company were the founders and major shareholders.
Probably not expecting Rocket 101 to get to that level, Liu Zhizhou frowned and said nothing.
"Hey, it's noon now, let's eat first."
Chang Xiaoping stepped forward to smooth things over: "Director Kuang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How about taking you to Shiziqiao to eat some Jianye specialties today, and everyone have a few drinks."
Liu Zhizhou also called the driver over: "Go prepare the car and book a box. Today, Supervisor Kuang will come to Jianye to guide the work, so the specifications are higher."
Liu Zhizhou and Chang Xiaoping both wanted to ease the atmosphere through socializing. After all, after two glasses of wine, many things would be easier to say.
"I've always known."
Suddenly, the silent Kong Jing spoke, and everyone was surprised.
"Rocket 101 occupied Jiangling University Town and Xianning University Town. Actually, I approved it."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhizhou and Chang Xiaoping's expressions froze.
If they said they didn't know, they could still use work omissions to prevaricate. Although there were some problems, they were not big problems. However, Kong Jing admitted that she approved it, which was an open cover-up.
Even if no losses were caused, she would definitely be demoted and have her salary deducted.
Director Kuang, who led the inspection, was about to explode, but Chang Xiaoping reacted faster and immediately stopped Kong Jing and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's toast Director Kuang two glasses at noon."
"No, you go first."
Kong Jing didn't move from her chair: "I want to sit for a while."
"You..."
Chang Xiaoping wanted to say something, but Liu Zhizhou waved his hand: "Let her be quiet for a while."
After the group left one after another, the office gradually became quiet. Kong Jing took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes, lit it, and coughed violently after taking two puffs, and her tears choked down.
"I'm still not used to it. How can I stand Chen Hansheng smoking every day?"
Kong Jing didn't know why she thought of Chen Hansheng. Maybe the accident was caused by Rocket 101.
"It's raining."
Someone shouted in the corridor, and then the rapid raindrops "crackled" on the window. Kong Jing raised her head and saw a curtain outside the window. The water flowed slowly along the glass, making it difficult to see the outside world.
······
It was raining, and the traffic jam in Jianye was as usual. Liu Zhizhou in the car sighed: "It's going to get colder again."
Chang Xiaoping, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also said: "Anyway, I'm used to it. Jianye is like this. Winter rain is gloomy and cool. There is only a little wind, but it feels bone-chilling cold when it blows on the body."
"What's so good about rain."
Director Kuang of the headquarters shook his head and said: "I didn't expect Kong Jing to admit that she knew it. In this case, how can the following work be carried out?"
"I'm a little surprised."
Chang Xiaoping thought for a while: "This is not like her."
"In fact, this is her."
Liu Zhizhou is the vice president of the entire Shenzhen Tong company. Kong Jing used to work in the general manager's office. The two knew each other relatively early. Liu Zhizhou also defended this female subordinate during social events.
"As for the following work, it should be carried out as it should be. Since Kong Jing is covering up for him, he should be demoted and fined."
Liu Zhizhou said with a serious face.
"General Manager Liu and General Manager Chang are really good. They have been playing the long game and let Rocket 101 develop to the current stage before taking action."
Director Kuang flattered Liu Zhizhou: "We have picked up a city's university market for free."
Chang Xiaoping did not speak, and Liu Zhizhou just reminded him: "Drink less at noon, finish the matter in the afternoon, connect with Kong Jing and Chen Hansheng, pay some money to take over Rocket 101, and I will transfer Kong Jing to another city, and this matter will be over."
"Okay."
Chang Xiaoping and Director Kuang nodded in agreement.
It turned out that Liu Zhizhou and Chang Xiaoping had been watching the development of Rocket 101 from the beginning to the end. Now that Chen Hansheng and his men had occupied the university market in Jianye and were preparing to expand outward, they seized the opportunity and took it away in one fell swoop.
The only surprise was that Kong Jing admitted that she knew, which forced Liu Zhizhou, who had originally wanted to excuse Kong Jing, to handle the matter impartially.
After the social event, they returned to the office again. Several people pretended to be hostile again, and Chang Xiaoping even had to quarrel with Director Kuang.
In the end, Director Kuang seemed to have to compromise: "Manager Kong, since General Manager Liu and General Manager Chang both said that you were deceived in a moment of confusion, then you should talk to Chen Hansheng of Rocket 101 first. If he agrees to give up the ownership of Rocket 101, you still have a credit for this matter."
"I was not deceived. Rocket 101 is to increase profits for Shenzhen Tong. I think there can be cooperation between the two."
Kong Jing's eyes were clear. Liu Zhizhou and others didn't understand why Kong Jing seemed to have figured something out in one afternoon.
Until Kong Jing handed over a letter of resignation.
"You want to resign?"
Chang Xiaoping couldn't help asking.
"Well, this incident has not caused any loss to the company for the time being, so I don't have to bear any legal responsibility."
Kong Jing stood up, and the others noticed that the desk had been cleaned up.
"Mr. Liu, is it okay for me to resign?"
Kong Jing asked.
Liu Zhizhou was stunned. He nodded first, then shook his head: "Don't do stupid things. You are 30 years old and have reached this position in the company. If you quit, you will have to start all over again."
"Just because I am 30 years old, I want to find something I like."
Kong Jing picked up her small leather bag and sighed: "I'm leaving. Thank you Mr. Liu and Mr. Chang for taking care of me, and thank you for all these years in Shentong Company."
Seeing Kong Jing leave so casually, no one in the room could react. Liu Zhizhou chased her out and shouted: "Kong Jing, where are you going?"
"I bought a ticket for tonight. I'm going home first, and then I may go to a university to be a cook."
Kong Jing's relaxed voice came from afar.
"What did she say?"
Chang Xiaoping thought he had heard it wrong: "Being a cook in college, a first-level city manager of Shenzhen Tong is being a cook?"
It was past 9 o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. Kong Jing came downstairs with her luggage. There seemed to be a car parked in front of her, with double flashes on in the dark night, and the wipers were constantly swinging.
"I'm so lucky, the taxi is waiting here."
Kong Jing put down the box and walked over carefully on the stones on the roadside: "Master, go to Lukou Airport..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and the car window slowly lowered, revealing Chen Hansheng's smiling face.
"Sister Jing, the world is actually very big. If I hadn't come here, would the last time be the last time we met?"
