Zhao Nianmeng pondered for a moment, looking at Jiang Sheng's open and honest expression, which didn't seem like he was lying at all.

She finally nodded, believing what Jiang Sheng had said.

"My older sister definitely believes you. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. Even I'm not sure about these things, but you can analyze them so clearly and logically."

"That's really surprising."

As Zhao Nianmeng spoke, her face made no attempt to hide her appreciation and admiration for Jiang Sheng.

Seeing that his older sister had indeed believed what he said, Jiang Sheng wore a genuinely surprised smile, as if he were asking for a reward.

"That's not true!"

Jiang Sheng said confidently, "As long as we follow the contents of this plan, I believe that Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will soon be able to come back to life and be even better than before!"

"Look how smug you are."

Zhao Nianmeng smiled and shook her head, her face full of pride and self-satisfaction.

This is her younger brother; I never expected him to be so smart!

"I've always known you're very smart, and you can remember everything you read. I never expected you to help me so much today."

As Zhao Nianmeng spoke, she carefully placed the paper in front of her, looking at it with eager curiosity.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

A joyful smile graced Zhao Nianmeng's fair face, her smiling eyes adding a touch of radiance that overshadowed her usual dignified gentleness.

Indeed, women who focus on their careers are the most beautiful.

"If I want any reward, will you be willing to help me?"

Jiang Sheng's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the beautiful woman before him, his heart pounding with excitement.

"You little rascal," Zhao Nianmeng smiled helplessly at the teasing. Looking at her younger brother's handsome face, her heart pounded. She said, seemingly unintentionally, "Go ahead and tell me. As long as it's something your older sister can do, I'll definitely grant your wish!"

Zhao Nianmeng held the paper and brought it slightly closer to Jiang Sheng. A faint fragrance of orchids wafted over and lingered around Jiang Sheng's nose.

The delicate fragrance of orchids made Jiang Sheng's breath catch in his throat slightly.

He subconsciously looked up, only to see a vast expanse of white snow and an exaggerated curve in front of him.

Instantly, the words Jiang Sheng was about to say were swallowed back, and his mind went blank.

"I, I..."

Jiang Sheng looked away awkwardly, his face flushed and his ears burning. In his mind, the scene that had made any man's heart flutter just moments before was still playing in his head.

"I never thought my little brother would grow up and become shy."

Zhao Nianmeng immediately realized that the two were behaving somewhat intimately. Looking down, she discovered that from this angle, her beautiful side was completely exposed to her younger brother.

Her snow-white cheeks instantly turned bright red, and Zhao Nianmeng quickly took two steps back, her heart pounding rapidly.

Unconsciously, Zhao Nianmeng twirled the paper in her hand with her slender fingers. She coughed as if to cover up her embarrassment, but it only made her seem more guilty.

The air grew slightly awkward at that moment, and an inexplicable tension lingered between the two of them.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly quiet, Zhao Nianmeng took a deep breath, gently bit her lower lip, and spoke first.

“By the way, little brother,” Zhao Nianmeng pointed to several places on the paper, “could you explain these suggestions and ideas to me in detail? I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions.”

Although the proposal was very detailed, Zhao Nianmeng was still confused about some of its contents.

Although after acquiring the factory, the factory's senior management discussed the matter and were able to explain its contents.

But for some reason, just as she was about to make that decision, she suddenly wanted to hear her younger brother's opinion a little longer, so that she could at least stay here with him a few more minutes.

Jiang Sheng snapped out of his daze, looked at his older sister's serious face, which was still slightly flushed, and quickly nodded, changing the subject to follow her lead.

He focused his gaze on the direction Zhao Nianmeng was pointing, carefully read the two lines of text, and pondered for a moment.

The news from his past life instantly appeared clearly in Jiang Sheng's mind.

"If we start from the very beginning, the country implemented a variety of economic development models back then."

"This includes state-owned, private, and individual handicraft industries, etc."

"But in the following years, due to the public-private partnership, the output value of private enterprises changed dramatically and declined significantly."

"Relatively speaking, state-owned enterprises, joint public-private enterprises, and collective enterprises have seen a significant increase."

"In previous years, we implemented a planned economy system. Now the country is going to reform state-owned enterprises in order to address the current underdevelopment of private enterprises."

At this point, Jiang Sheng asked Zhao Nianmeng, "Big sister, do you know why the country is carrying out state-owned enterprise reform?"

"Of course I know that."

Without hesitation, Zhao Nian said, "Now, in the state-owned sector, because state-owned enterprises are directly controlled by the state, the management system is naturally quite rigid, and the productivity is limited. Most employees of state-owned enterprises perform their own duties, but this has also generated a lot of vitality and autonomy."

Zhao Nianmeng's words were rather vague.

After all, the drawbacks of state-owned enterprises go far beyond what she described.

"Because under the current system, the management of state-owned enterprises is rigid. No matter how much work is done, it remains the same. This naturally severely restricts the spirit of enterprise. Employees lack a spirit of active production, which leads to the emergence of many parasites in the enterprise."

“In this situation, private enterprises are rewarded for their hard work, which naturally attracts more talent. However, due to the national system, this severely restricts the development of private enterprises and also causes state-owned enterprises to stagnate.”

Jiang Sheng spoke eloquently and offered many of his own insights on the contents of the paper.

Zhao Nianmeng listened attentively, becoming increasingly engrossed. Her thoughts on factory system reform began to take on new dimensions, further opening up her mind.

Upon hearing the final part, Zhao Nianmeng suddenly felt enlightened. Holding the precious proposal in her hand, her expression was serious and solemn.

"Don't worry, little brother. I will definitely read this proposal, which is full of your hard work, carefully. We will discuss its feasibility together at the meeting tomorrow!"

Seeing that Zhao Nianmeng had taken this matter to heart, Jiang Sheng nodded in agreement, but he was only half relieved.
