Feeling angry, I walked quickly, and before long, I arrived at the Forestry Bureau compound.

When the gatekeeper, Grandpa Wang, saw that it was Sheng Xiping, he quickly came out to greet him. Sheng Xiping composed himself, chatted with Grandpa Wang for a few words with a smile, and then stepped into the courtyard, heading straight for the office building.

Zhou Mingyuan moved to the director's office. Sheng Xiping stopped in front of the door and knocked.

Hearing the call to come in, Sheng Xiping pushed open the door and entered. "Dad," Sheng Xiping greeted Zhou Mingyuan with a smile.

"Hey, Xiping, when did you come down?"

Zhou Mingyuan was processing documents when he looked up and saw his son-in-law. He was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

"I just got off the train and went to meet a friend in front of the station. He's the one who came here last year to deal in timber."

Sheng Xiping just came to chat with his father-in-law, so there was no need to hide these things; he would just tell the truth.

“Oh, I remember you said that.” Zhou Mingyuan nodded; he recalled it.

"What's wrong? Is he asking you to buy timber again? It's alright now, our bureau has plenty of timber in stock. If he wants to buy, you can just contact Guangning directly."

Zhou Mingyuan didn't take it to heart. The Forestry Bureau had plenty of timber; it didn't really matter who he sold it to.

Selling more than planned will increase the bureau's revenue.

"Not entirely, I was the one who invited him this time." Sheng Xiping scratched his head.

"Dad, I have something to tell you, it's about this logging and clearing of forests."

Since he was Zhou Mingyuan's father-in-law, there was nothing he couldn't say, so Sheng Xiping told him about the abandoned timber cleanup measures that Qianchuan Forest Farm had recently been implementing.

When Zheng Xianyong submitted his report requesting a chipper, he had already reported it to the bureau. Zhou Mingyuan was very supportive of this approach and had even conducted an in-depth study of the Qianchuan Forest Farm's plan.

So when Sheng Xiping brought it up, Zhou Mingyuan listened very carefully.

"Actually, I intended to cooperate with them, father and son. I would help them contact various timber and wood products, and they would be responsible for sales."

In this way, we can turn discarded materials and other things that we used to look down on into valuable assets and turn them into money.

On the other hand, more profits can be generated and more jobs can be provided through industrial processing.

Selling logs yields too little profit; it's not worthwhile.

In fact, Sheng Xiping had this idea before. He was thinking that in a few years, he would set up his own processing plant and take the path of deep processing and fine processing of wood.

After all, he came from the forestry system, and that's what he did in his previous life; he's an expert in it.

Now that my father-in-law has become the bureau chief, judging by this development trend, he might even become the party secretary or the top leader in the future.

As the son-in-law, he would inevitably have to start planning things out for his father-in-law.

After all, the stronger his backing, the better he could develop. Sheng Xiping understood this all too well.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Sheng Xiping brought up the relevant topic with Zhou Mingyuan.

Zhou Mingyuan had always admired and liked his son-in-law, but occasionally he would feel a little regretful that his son-in-law's level of education was a bit low.

Graduating from junior high school was considered quite good in the past, but nowadays it seems like it's still not enough.

With the resumption of the college entrance examination, more and more college students are graduating and starting work, and from now on, there will also be educational requirements for cadres.

Sheng Xiping will probably only be able to work as a production manager at most, and it will be very difficult for him to get promoted further.

Everyone has selfish desires; who wouldn't protect their own family?

Having reached his current position, Zhou Mingyuan must want to find a way out for his family.

My eldest son has repeatedly distinguished himself in the army and has now been promoted to deputy regimental level. Even if he retires from the military, he will have a good job.

My daughter and youngest son are both in college and will have decent jobs after graduation. But my son-in-law is just a production scheduler right now. We need to find a way to get him promoted.
