Chapter 150 Chapter 150 1st update

Cui Jianzhong ate the vermicelli slowly. Actually, he was no longer used to the taste of duck blood vermicelli, but he always felt that the vermicelli soup cooked by his mother in his memory seemed to taste like this.

He finished his meal bite by bite. Su Jingnian sitting opposite him had also finished. Someone called Su Jingnian. Su Jingnian said hello to Cui Jianzhong and walked over.

Cui Jianzhong looked at Su Jingnian's back as he turned and walked away. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he murmured, "No wonder I felt that the little girl's eyebrows and eyes looked familiar. Her eyebrows and eyes clearly resembled Su Jingnian."

Thinking that Su Jingnian was also looking for someone, Cui Jianzhong muttered that it couldn't be such a coincidence, but then he thought, no matter whether it was true or not, or whether they were related or not, it would not be a big deal to ask.

He wanted to tell Su Jingnian, but he saw Su Jingnian being dragged away by the reception team.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

Thinking this, Cui Jianzhong didn't chase after him.

Over there, Su Jingnian followed the reception team outside, and the staff handed him a thin piece of information.

"Mr. Su, we arranged for someone to investigate for a while, and finally found a comrade who fled with you in Jiang Province. She said that after you got separated, your sister Su Jingxiu did walk with them for a while, but later her child fell ill, so she left the group. Your sister followed the group and continued to go south, probably to Sichuan Province or Nan Province."

On the paper were the names of the people in the traveling group, simple information, and Su Jingxiu's clothing at the time, written by the comrade they found.

Even after so many years, this comrade still remembers it clearly.

Su Jingnian's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and he looked at the staff with hope. The staff sighed secretly in his heart and said comfortingly: "We are still investigating the people above. Currently, two people have clues. Mr. Su, don't worry, we will do our best to help you find your sister."

Su Jingnian nodded with red eyes, and after a long while he squeezed out a "thank you" from his throat.

The next day, while having breakfast, Cui Jianzhong met Su Jingnian again. Noticing that the gloom on his face seemed to have faded a bit, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Su Jingnian smiled and said, "There's news about my sister. She should be in Sichuan Province or Southern Province."

Cui Jianzhong was surprised: "There is news so soon?"

Su Jingnian nodded: "It's also luck."

The comrade who happened to be found had a good memory. After so many years, even his colleagues still remembered him clearly. Last night, the reception team called him and said that they had found a person on the list in Sichuan Province, and that the public security organs there would cooperate in the investigation today.

Cui Jianzhong nodded repeatedly: "Good, that's great!"

Su Jingnian turned to ask him: "Which comrade are you looking for?"

Cui Jianzhong's expression darkened and he sighed, "I didn't find it."

Su Jingnian was puzzled: "How could it be?"

Cui Jianzhong shook his head. "The records of the girls' high school are indeed complete, but there was a fire at the address where she stayed at the school before Jianguo, and the whole area was burned down. Many people died at the time, and the identities of many people cannot be confirmed."

The domestic household registration system was only gradually established in 1951. The period before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China was the most chaotic time for personnel management. People on a street were either dead or scattered, and you didn't know where to start looking for them.

Cui Jianzhong has felt heavy in his heart since he received the news last night.

In fact, there is a possibility that he dare not think about. Among the people who died in the fire...

Cui Jianzhong didn't think any further, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

In the entire inspection team, they were the only two who were looking for someone, so they were more familiar with each other's situation.

Originally thought that Cui Jianzhong's side was very simple, but never expected that there would be such a thing in the middle. On the contrary, he himself, who had originally had little hope, actually got a clue.

It's really unpredictable.

Today's itinerary is to visit several state-owned factories in the capital.

The delegation will only stay in the capital for four days before moving on to Shenzhen. Naturally, the capital's Bureau of Commerce will try every means to gain their support.

As soon as she got on the car, Shen Moer noticed that Cui Jianzhong was a little depressed today. She pretended not to notice and continued to take Mao Cuimei to occasionally introduce him to the scenery and landmarks along the way. When passing the department store, she also mentioned that the business of the department store almost doubled last year.

Cui Jianzhong was disturbed by their chattering all the way, and the melancholy and anxiety in his heart disappeared. He couldn't help but sneer as soon as he opened his eyelids: "It seems that translation and learning are not your main tasks, but sales is your main task. However, your sales level is much worse than those in foreign countries."

Shen Moer didn't take his ridicule seriously at all. Instead, she smiled and asked curiously: "Comrade Cui, then can you tell us how those sales people abroad sell their products?"

Cui Jianzhong rolled his eyes and asked, "Why should I tell you?"

Shen Moer smiled: "Didn't you say that our sales level is far behind that of foreign countries? If you don't give us examples, how can we know if what you said is true? Many people outside say that the United States is more developed than our China. There is a huge difference, but I don't believe it. Unless I see it with my own eyes one day, I still think China is better."

Cui Jianzhong curled his lips: "It's no use if you don't believe it. The gap exists objectively."

The old man was irritated by Shen Moer's words. He knew that the girl was using provocation, but he couldn't help but say: "It's just an example. There are so many examples like this. First of all, they are not as blunt as you. The sales that people can't detect is the advanced sales..."

Cui Jianzhong started talking nonstop. Every time he gave an example, Shen Moer would say a few words, which would stimulate him to give the next example. He didn't know how much he said along the way. When the car stopped in front of the Capital's First Machine Tool Factory, Cui Jianzhong realized belatedly that he had almost talked dry!

What Cui Jianzhong didn’t know was that the drivers along the way had looked at him in the rearview mirror several times and thought that this old man was worthy of being a businessman because he was really good at talking.

"You are such a cunning girl. You are a student and learning these things is useless. Why are you asking me about these things?"

Cui Jianzhong couldn't help but complain.

This time, before Shen Moer could speak, Mao Cuimei interrupted: "Comrade Cui, you don't know, although Senior Sister Shen is still a student, she is actually the director of the Huacai Garment Factory. Huacai Garment Factory is the most fashionable and profitable garment factory in our capital!"

Cui Jianzhong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately added: "Yes, it's the most profitable garment factory that can't even be included in the inspection list."

The itinerary of the inspection team was decided early in the morning, and the factories to be inspected and visited were also on the itinerary. Cui Jianzhong naturally knew which factories were on the list.

He might not pay much attention to other factories, but he paid special attention to garment factories. There was no such factory as Huacai Garment Factory.

Mao Cuimei's personality is typical of someone who is usually timid but once she explodes, she is fearless. When she heard Cui Jianzhong mocking Huacai Garment Factory, she immediately refused to listen: "Comrade Cui, if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak. Huacai Garment Factory is not not on the list of the inspection team because it is not good enough, but because they are a collectively owned social enterprise, and a social enterprise in Southern Province, so the capital did not include them in the inspection list."

Cui Jianzhong was familiar with the current economic system in the country and naturally knew what state-owned enterprises meant. He wanted to retort that there was no need to inspect such small workshop-style factories.

But looking at the little girl's flushed face and moist eyes, he shut up.

After a while, he made the little girl cry, which made him seem like an elder bullying the younger one.

Cui Jianzhong changed the subject abruptly: "Since it is a social enterprise in Southern Province, why did it come to the capital?"

Cui Jianzhong did find this question strange. He had the impression that the domestic economy had very poor liquidity, especially in the past few years, under the planned economic system, where materials were purchased and sold in a unified manner and allocated in a unified manner. Such social enterprises are generally set up in local areas, with the main purpose of expanding employment and improving the local economic level.

Mao Cuimei said firmly: "Of course it's because Senior Sister Shen was admitted to Capital University! She started from scratch in the capital and built Huacai Garment Factory from a small workshop to a large enterprise with 700 to 800 employees in just three years!"

Cui Jianzhong wanted to say that a company with seven or eight hundred employees is not a big enterprise, but when you think about it, it seems quite impressive to have grown from a small workshop to seven or eight hundred employees in three years?

Of course, Cui Jianzhong did not think that this was the credit of Shen Moli alone. In the domestic environment, as long as there is policy support, it is not too difficult to expand a business.

Cui Jianzhong actually tends to believe that Shen Moli may have a good family background.

He wouldn't say these words anymore.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, everyone else has already walked to the front. Tell me, are you here to serve me or to hold me back?"

Having said that, he took the lead and walked forward.

Chen Moer and Mao Cuimei were already used to the old man's "poisonous tongue". They smiled at each other and did not take it to heart.

Shen Moer asked quietly: "Are you familiar with the situation of our Huacai Garment Factory?"

Mao Cuimei also replied quietly: "I pestered Senior Sister Liu to ask, Senior Sister Shen, I'm not asking about your business secrets, I'm just purely curious. You are really great, you are the pride of us female comrades!"

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows.

This little girl is so cute.

The delegation visited three state-owned factories in the morning and two more in the afternoon. After visiting the last state-owned factory of the day, Capital Second Garment Factory, they left two hours for everyone to have a free discussion.

The Capital Garment Factory No. 2 arranged a large conference room, modeled after a Western buffet cocktail party, with several tables filled with snacks and drinks, and then set up independent "negotiation areas" outside the conference room with tables, chairs and benches.

Shen Moer looked at the layout of the entire venue and always felt that it was out of place.

Until Liu Yinshuang came up to her and complained, "What kind of taste does the Capital Second Garment Factory have? The symposium was like a dating party. No wonder the ready-made clothes every season are so ugly."

“…”

Shen Moer almost burst out laughing.

It's true. If you add a banner and some balloons, it will definitely be the blind date party held by each unit every year.

They were just gathering together to play crickets when Cui Jianzhong in the crowd suddenly turned his head and waved for Shen Moer and Mao Cuimei to come over. When they got close, the old man immediately said with a stern face, "Aren't you here to serve me? Why are you hiding aside? Are you being lazy?"

This old man has a good heart, but he is very harsh with his mouth.

He clearly wanted them to broaden their horizons, but he just started with sarcasm and ridicule.

Shen Moer smiled and followed his words: "I wanted to be lazy, but you found out."

Cui Jianzhong: “…”

This is so shameless.

As they were talking, someone suddenly interrupted them and said, "Mr. Cui, if you are not satisfied with these service staff, you can ask for a replacement. Or, I can talk to the reception team on your behalf. I am quite familiar with them. These are all trivial matters. You have come all the way back to China to invest. We will definitely provide you with good service and let you feel the enthusiasm and sincerity of the people of our motherland. Don't worry about the young people being unreliable. Just replace them."

Shen Moer felt the voice sounded familiar, so she turned around and saw that it was Gao Yong from the Capital Fifth Garment Factory.

Shen Moer frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked: "Director Gao, your Fifth Garment Factory is neither on the inspection list nor on the discussion list. Why are you here?"
