Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The atmosphere in the study was extremely solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible pressure.

Outside the window, the cold wind whistled past, causing the branches to sway and make rustling sounds, as if they were whispering something.

Zhong Shanyue sat upright behind the desk, his brows furrowed, his sharp eyes like torches, staring at his son Zhong Yuemin in front of him.

Zhong Yuemin stood quietly by the side, his hands behind his back, a look of helplessness and a bitter smile on his face.

"Yuemin, the trip to the north has been delayed for too long. You must hurry up and not delay any longer!" Zhong Shanyue's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing his father's words, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but roll his eyes. He muttered to himself, "If you weren't my father, I would have refuted you a long time ago. How can you blame me for this? It's obviously those damn bureaucrats who are at work!"

However, he knew his father's character well enough to know that resistance at this point would only cause more arguments.

So, Zhong Yuemin gritted his teeth and answered stubbornly, "Dad, you are right. However, the key figure of this mission is Zhang Haiyang, and he has not returned yet. How can we act without him? This is not something I can decide." There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in Zhong Yuemin's tone.

Zhou Zhennan stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and had a faint smile on his face. He gently put down the teacup in his hand, then turned his head, his eyes fell on Zhong Yuemin, and smiled and interrupted: "Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang will be back in a few days. You must discuss it carefully by then, and make sure this matter is handled properly."

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. However, his face did not show too much emotion, and he remained calm and composed.

Zhong Yuemin nodded slightly in response. "Dad, don't worry. When Zhang Haiyang returns, I will discuss this matter in detail with him and do my best to resolve it."

Seeing this, Zhong Shanyue nodded slightly, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face. His eyes were full of trust and expectation, and he seemed to have full confidence in Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Shanyue said earnestly, "Remember not to be careless. This matter is of great importance and cannot afford any mistakes."

Zhong Yuemin knew his father's expectations and instructions, and he sighed inwardly. But his face showed a resolute and courageous expression, and he answered without hesitation, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely not forget this."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the study relaxed a little, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan are both very busy people, and it is an exception that they can stay here for most of the day today.

After explaining everything, the two hurriedly left the study. Zhong Yuemin watched them leave, but his heart was like a ignited flame, full of anticipation and nervousness.

Zhong Yuemin knew very well that this trip to the north was of great importance and he had to be fully prepared and not be careless in the slightest.

So, Zhong Yuemin started to get busy. He first called Li Wenbo, who was also an indispensable part of this mission. However, the voice from the other end of the phone was a woman's slightly arrogant voice. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly, but remained polite. "I'm looking for Li Wenbo."

"Who are you? Why are you so rude? Calling our President Li by his first name." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and provocation in the secretary's tone.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Li Wenbo's secretary to be so rude. But he didn't get angry. Instead, he said calmly, "Tell Li Wenbo that I'll wait for him to call me back in three minutes, otherwise don't call me back. Tell him my last name is Zhong."

Zhong Yuemin's fingers tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic sound. He had just hung up the phone with a cynical smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the secretary's arrogance just now.

"Are all secretaries so arrogant nowadays?" He shook his head to himself, with an unruly arc on the corner of his mouth. Zhong Yuemin knew that the attitude of this secretary was just a microcosm of the majestic impression that Li Wenbo usually left on the outside world.

Sure enough, within two minutes, the phone at Zhong Yuemin's home rang. The caller ID showed Li Wenbo's number. Zhong Yuemin pressed the answer button, and Li Wenbo's slightly respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Zhong, my secretary was ignorant just now and I apologize for the offense. Please forgive me." There was a hint of apology and flattery in Li Wenbo's tone.

Zhong Yuemin smiled faintly. "It's okay with me, but this attitude is not very good. Pay attention, I need to discuss something with you. Are you free now?"

"Convenient, convenient. Mr. Zhong, please let me know if you have anything to say. I will replace that secretary later." Li Wenbo replied quickly.

"Please inform Le Jizhong and Takehara Masaki to come over before the New Year..."

Zhong Yuemin began to tell Li Wenbo in detail what he had prepared. The two talked for a long time, and only hung up the phone after everything was arranged.

In the dead of night, the moonlight sprinkled in the room like water, covering the entire space with a layer of silver gauze. Zhong Yuemin's bedroom was filled with a peaceful and warm atmosphere, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen lay quietly on the bed, with a sweet smile on their lips, and they had obviously fallen into a sweet dream. Occasionally, they would make a gentle breathing sound, which was like the sound of nature, making people feel extremely at ease.

Zhong Yuemin tiptoed to the bedside, fearing to wake up the two cute little ones. He sat there quietly, his eyes gently falling on the children, his eyes full of fatherly love. Looking at the children's peaceful sleeping faces, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After a while, Zhong Yuemin stood up and tiptoed to Zhou Xiaobai's side. He leaned close to Zhou Xiaobai's ear and whispered, "Wife, the children are asleep, let's continue what we didn't finish this morning, shall we?"

Zhou Xiaobai was originally flipping through a magazine attentively. When she heard Zhong Yuemin's words, she suddenly raised her head and a shy blush instantly appeared on her face. She glared at Zhong Yuemin coquettishly and complained in a low voice, "I hate you. You only think about these improper things all day long."

Zhong Yuemin smiled, took the magazine from Zhou Xiaobai's hand and put it aside, then sat on the bed and gently took her into his arms. He hugged Zhou Xiaobai tightly, feeling her warmth and softness, his eyes full of doting and tenderness.

Zhong Yuemin lowered his head and whispered in Zhou Xiaobai's ear, "Wife, do you like being bullied by me like this?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of teasing, but more of it was his deep love for Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai's face turned even redder. She pushed Zhong Yuemin hard, but found that she couldn't get rid of his strong embrace. She could only sigh helplessly and whispered, "You frivolous guy, I really can't do anything to you." Although she said so, her heart was actually full of sweetness and happiness.

In this quiet night, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai were immersed in their own world, enjoying each other's love and tenderness. Their love was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with eternal light.

Zhou Xiaobai was a little embarrassed by his sudden intimate behavior, but a warm current surged in her heart. She raised her head, looked at Zhong Yuemin firmly, and said coquettishly, "You always bullied me first before, today it's my turn to bully you first, and I will make you beg for mercy."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly pounced on Zhong Yuemin like an agile little wild cat. Zhong Yuemin was a little caught off guard by her sudden attack, but he reacted very quickly and hugged her. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, their skins touching, and an electric current instantly spread throughout their bodies.

They started to fuck each other, pushing and shoving each other, and the room was filled with laughter, as if time had stopped.

Zhong Yuemin gradually took control of the initiative. He cleverly avoided Zhou Xiaobai's attacks and fought back from time to time, making Zhou Xiaobai both angry and amused.

This sex lasted for a long time, and the two finally collapsed on the bed, exhausted and panting. Zhong Yuemin hugged Zhou Xiaobai tightly, feeling her warmth and softness. Their heartbeats intertwined, as if playing a beautiful melody.

The moonlight shines through the window onto the two of them, adding a touch of romance to this warm night. Zhong Yuemin lowered his head and kissed Zhou Xiaobai's forehead, saying softly, "Wife, do you know? I really love you."

Zhou Xiaobai responded shyly, "I love you too, husband. I can't live without you..." Zhou Xiaobai knew what Zhong Yuemin liked to hear, and their eyes met, full of affection.

On this beautiful night, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their lives.

The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled every corner of this bustling city. Director Wang of the SOE Reform Office sat in the car early, anxiously waiting for Zhong Yuemin's arrival. When Zhong Yuemin appeared in his sight, Director Wang immediately got out of the car and couldn't wait to greet him.

"Yuemin, we've finally got you here!" Director Wang's face was filled with a warm smile. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhong Yuemin tightly, and said in an excited voice, "From now on, I will call you Director Zhong!"

Zhong Yuemin also responded with a smile. "Director Wang is so polite. You are my elder, so just call me Xiao Zhong."

Director Wang laughed and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Of course there's no problem calling you that in private. You're Minister Zhong's son. I've worked with him for many years, so it's only right for me to call you uncle." After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhong Yuemin's heart moved. It seemed that Director Wang was really related to his father. He smiled and did not hesitate to establish a relationship with him. "Uncle Wang, you are right. I just took office and I was really in the dark. I didn't even know which factory I was the director of. I have already taken office today, but I still know nothing."

Director Wang smiled slightly, patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder, and consoled him earnestly. "It's okay, youth is your asset. Everything has a process, take your time, don't rush. Once you are familiar with the situation, you will naturally be able to handle it with ease. Let's get in the car now, there is still time on the way, we can talk while walking."

Zhong Yuemin nodded and got into the car with Director Wang. The driver stepped on the accelerator gently, and the car drove out of the parking lot smoothly and headed towards the destination. Along the way, Zhong Yuemin listened quietly to Director Wang's introduction and had a preliminary understanding of the work he was about to take over.

"This factory is quite old. It was once the pride of our city."

Director Wang said with emotion, "However, in recent years, due to changes in the market environment and some problems in management, the benefits have gradually declined. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders as the factory director this time. You have to find a way to revitalize this old factory and restore its former glory."

Although Director Wang's tone was serious, his eyes revealed his trust and expectations for Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin felt the heavy responsibility and took a deep breath. He hated this feeling the most.

Zhong Yuemin also has a problem, which is that no matter what the matter is, he either doesn't do it, or if he does it, he makes sure to do it well.

So, Zhong Yuemin humbly asked Director Wang for advice. "Uncle Wang, what do you think is the first problem we need to solve? I would like to hear your opinion."

Director Wang thought for a moment. "The Chinese New Year is only a month away. Let's settle the salary first so that everyone can have a good year.

After the Chinese New Year, the most urgent task is to have a deep understanding of the current situation and problems of the factory. Only by finding out the crux of the problem can we prescribe the right remedy.

In addition, we need to strengthen internal management and improve the enthusiasm and cohesion of employees. Of course, the most important thing is to expand the market and find new business opportunities and development directions. All of these require the joint efforts of you and your colleagues in the factory. "

Zhong Yuemin nodded seriously, saying that he would keep Director Wang's advice in mind. He thought that since he had accepted this challenge, he would go all out, not only to solve the existing problems, but also to lead all employees towards a brand new future. As the car continued to move forward, the scenery outside the window kept changing, and Zhong Yuemin's heart was already ablaze with high morale.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will do my best and live up to your trust."

Director Wang nodded with satisfaction, and the two continued to talk in depth. "Xiao Zhong, we also want to learn from you. It's just talking about reform, but how can we change it?"

"Uncle Wang, you flatter me too much..."

Zhong Yuemin followed Director Wang to the gate of Beijing Woolen Mill No. 3 and saw the sign. Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but frown. He muttered to himself that he felt like he was being cheated.

Because he knew the factory very well, it once had more than 10,000 employees and was quite large.

Could something have gone wrong? Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't be happening in the factory at this time! Director Wang noticed the confusion on Zhong Yuemin's face and asked with concern, "Yuemin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled bitterly and replied, "Uncle Wang, I remember hearing my dad say before that I took over a small factory with only a few thousand people! But now, if I remember correctly, there must be many people in this factory, right?"

Director Wang waved his hand gently and explained, "That's all in the past. There are indeed not that many people in the factory now. There are probably about 9000 people left."

Zhong Yuemin almost spat out a mouthful of blood, cursing in his heart. Others are cheating their fathers, but I am clearly being cheated by my father! A few thousand people and nearly ten thousand people are not on the same level at all! The gap is too big!

Director Wang looked at Zhong Yuemin who was standing there in a daze and called out softly, "Yuemin, Yuemin..."

Zhong Yuemin finally came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, with a trace of guilt on his face. "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

Director Wang smiled and said in a friendly tone, "What are you thinking about, kid? You are so absorbed in it."

Director Wang pointed out the window and continued, "Everyone is waiting. We have to get off the bus quickly."

Zhong Yuemin looked in the direction of Director Wang's finger, and saw a crowd of people at the factory gate. They were lined up in an orderly manner, and everyone's face was filled with enthusiastic and bright smiles.

There is no doubt that these people are all factory workers. In order to welcome Zhong Yuemin's arrival, they specially organized this grand and solemn welcoming ceremony.

"Ah... this... this is really grand!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time, he was deeply moved. He never expected that he would be able to enjoy such a warm welcome.

At this time, Director Wang had already opened the car door and got out of the car with steady steps. Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin hurriedly followed him and walked towards the workers who had been waiting for a long time.

With their arrival, bursts of deafening firecrackers sounded across the sky; the sounds of gongs and drums rose and fell like waves, endless.

Director Wang walked forward quickly, and after he stood still, he said loudly in an excited and high-pitched voice, "Dear comrades, today is the day when our new factory director Zhong Yuemin takes office. I firmly believe that under his outstanding leadership, our factory will surely get out of the predicament and create a new glorious chapter!"

The workers shouted in unison, "Welcome the new factory director! Welcome the new factory director!" The shouts were sonorous, powerful and majestic, full of immense trust and earnest expectations for Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin was also deeply moved by the passionate atmosphere. He bowed deeply with full respect and then said solemnly: "Thank you brothers and sisters! I will do my best to create a better working environment for you and create a better and brighter future!"

Amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the workers, Zhong Yuemin and Director Wang walked into the factory side by side.
