Secretary Xu and Mayor Liu certainly did not disappoint Ruan Ruan.

After the two left, they immediately notified the leaders of various departments and the factory directors of the factories that Ruan Ruan had specifically mentioned to come and hold a meeting together.

After dinner, Secretary Xu came to see them.

That evening, they signed a cooperation agreement.

The next day, when Su Yunqing saw that Secretary Xu had some free time, she brought up the matter of returning to Beijing with him. Coincidentally, Lan Chaoyang's matter had also been settled, so they could ride back in his car.

Su Yunqing left with Tang Yuan and the others. Ruan Ruan stayed behind because she had other things to do. Dr. Jiang originally wanted to stay as well, but Gu Jinghe persuaded her to go back. They couldn't eat or sleep well here; in this heat, even finding a place to wash was difficult. Doctors from other places had also found ways to leave, and Gu Jinghe didn't want his wife to stay and suffer with him.

After everyone left, Huo Haocheng moved in with his wife. He couldn't let his wife live alone among a group of people.

Over the next two weeks, Ruan Ruan first visited the food factory, the ceramics factory, and the textile factory, and then learned about the current situation of these three factories.

I also had a full-day meeting with the three factory managers, pointing out their shortcomings and areas for improvement, especially for the food factory, where environmental hygiene is very important. I took advantage of the fact that the factory needs to be rebuilt to correct all the bad habits left over from before.

Ruan Ruan also took advantage of the time difference during the factory's renovation to visit several fishing villages with the food factory's workers. Thanks to the fishermen's introduction and Ruan Ruan's previous memories, they developed new snack products.

Ruanruan named it "Deep Sea Little Fish" and designed three flavors: five-spice, spicy, and salt-baked. Even the packaging is designed to look like schools of fish swimming happily in the deep sea, making it clear at a glance that the ingredients are fish taken from the sea.

When this batch of snacks came out, Ruan Ruan first gave them to the children and asked them to share their thoughts after eating them.

"Doctor, these little fish are so delicious!"

"Yes, yes, these are the best baby fish I've ever eaten."

"Pretty sister, is the picture on this supposed to look like the ocean?"

......................

After the children ate, they surrounded Ruanruan and asked her many questions. It's clear that they all liked it very much.

After answering the children's questions, Ruan Ruan distributed some more to Secretary Xu and the others, saying, "Everyone, take a look. Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Secretary Xu, Mayor Liu, and other leaders inspected and tasted everything, from the packaging to the flavor and texture.

"No problem, it's excellent!" Secretary Xu felt that this must be the best-tasting fish he had ever eaten.

"Since you have no objections, then we can begin formal production."

After receiving a positive response, Ruanruan instructed the food factory to begin production.

Thanks to the electricians' efforts, power and communications in Tangcheng were finally restored a week later. Ruan Ruan immediately called Yuncheng and Jingcheng to explain the situation of her business in Tangcheng. She then asked Zheng Xuyang to have Huo Haojie keep an eye on things in Jingcheng and to come to Tangcheng as soon as possible.

Afterwards, I called my father and expressed my thoughts. I also asked him to find a way to provide a few vehicles for their factory. If they didn't have any new ones, an old one would be fine, otherwise it would be too inconvenient for Zheng Xuyang and his team to come out.

The old men were at their wits' end with their granddaughter's demands, but what could they do? She was right; their time was precious and shouldn't be wasted waiting for the bus.

There was no other way, so the next day the old man had someone drive the car that had been arranged to Zheng Xuyang. When Zheng Xuyang picked up the car, the guard also asked him to convey the old man's message: "We don't have many cars, at most three. Just drive them for now. Once she has made up for Tangcheng's economic situation, she can have whatever she wants."

The guard drove off immediately after delivering the message.

Only Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang remained, looking bewildered under the sun.

Chen Liang looked at the car's rear end, which had already disappeared, and then at the several military pickup trucks that had suddenly appeared. He hadn't driven this kind of vehicle in a long time, so he opened the door and got in. "Get in, what are you thinking about?" While Zheng Xuyang was still in a daze, Chen Liang drove him around the construction site.

After a fun-filled drive, Chen Liang pulled the car into an open area, handed the keys to Zheng Xuyang, and patted him hard on the shoulder twice. "Brother, you have a long way to go, keep it up!"

The whole country knows about what happened in Tangcheng. He also knows about Ruan Ruan's situation in recent years. He even heard about the rumors that the leader gifted Ruan Ruan a royal mansion. He also understands what the leader's bodyguard said just now. So now he needs to hurry back and supervise the completion of the construction of the family building.

Chen Liang felt that he was just a construction worker, and that the kind of money-making things that required brains should be left to the smart people. All he could do was help them build the foundation as quickly as possible.

After Chen Liang left, Zheng Xujie finally understood what Ruan Ruan meant when she told him to come over as soon as possible on the phone. Now that she had even prepared a car for him, how could he refuse?

With no other option, Zheng Xuyang drove directly to find Huo Haojie first, and then went to the He family to explain the situation to his father-in-law and brother-in-law. The main reason was that He Yuwei and her family were already on their way back and would arrive in two days, but his situation was also urgent. He was thinking of asking his brother-in-law to pick up He Yuwei and her child after they arrived, and then let them stay at his home for a few days. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for He Yuwei to take care of the child alone after he left.

Moreover, Zheng Xujie is getting old, and it's not convenient for him to live alone with his sister-in-law. So Zheng Xuyang suggested that he stay at Huo Haoli's house with him after he arrived. Also, the two of them could ride in Huo Haojie's car to the factory every day.

The pharmaceutical factory has now been completed, and the necessary machinery has been ordered long ago. It will be delivered in the next couple of days, and the two brothers will accompany them to install it and then check its use.

Zheng Xuyang spent a day arranging things in the capital, and the next day he drove to Tangcheng with his few belongings.

In Tangcheng, the food factory is now on track, and next, Ruanruan will start checking on the progress of the textile factory and the ceramics factory.

For the first week, Ruan Ruan was a master of time management. First, for convenience, she held a meeting with the three factory managers. Then, she spent three days conducting on-site inspections of the existing products of the three factories. Then, she spent two days writing a detailed research direction for new products for them. Finally, she took turns visiting each factory, one day per factory.

Now that the food factory project is finished, the next step is to see what new fabrics the textile factory will produce. Previously, they mainly made solid colors or small floral patterns, which Ruanruan felt lacked character. So she suggested ethnic costumes to them and then showed them some styles of clothes she had made in Yuncheng for their reference.
