Chapter 529 Zhou Mingyuan Gets Another Promotion

Even as the smoke from the Great Khingan Mountains fire has not yet settled, several forestry bureaus in Jilin Province are also reporting frequent fire alarms.

More than 40 mu of forest were burned in Dayingfang Forest Farm of Tanghe Forestry Bureau, and fires also broke out in several other forest farms.

For a time, everyone in the forest area was on edge, and all the forest farms were on high alert. All the workers, whether they were still employed or retired, went up the mountain to prevent fires.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife were not at home; they had gone to Shenzhen to visit Sheng Yunfei.

Sheng Yunfei gave birth to twin boys on May 9th.

Upon receiving the news, Sheng Liancheng and his wife took a car south to visit their grandson.

While the two were in Shenzhen, Sheng Liancheng learned of the news from home and was quite anxious, but being so far away, he couldn't offer any help.

Only after a rainstorm relieved the drought did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and gradually descend the mountain.

With the fire hazard averted, Sheng Xiping immediately dismissed Wang Yufeng and the others.

He gave a few people some money and bought them train tickets back home, telling them to go back to their hometowns and farm properly, and never come to Northeast China again.

"Old Wang, if I hadn't gotten you out of the Mohe forest area, with your luck of starting fires wherever you go, you would have been in big trouble this time, you know?"

For this meeting, Sheng Xiping specially prepared gifts worth more than 100,000 yuan, which pleased the other party so much that he boasted that he could do whatever Sheng Xiping wanted.

"Do you think I can just stand by and watch them do this without saying a word?" Faced with his wife's lack of understanding, Zhou Mingyuan could only patiently explain.

At the very least, the losses from the fires in the Greater Khingan Mountains in this lifetime were much less than in his previous life, and Sheng Xiping was already quite satisfied.

Sheng Xiping was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how Zhou Mingyuan could have been promoted again in such a short time and become the top leader.

Wang Yufeng worked under Sheng Xiping for less than two months. Sheng Xiping paid him 500 yuan in wages and gave him an additional 300 yuan.

Wang Chunxiu didn't care about any of that and seized the opportunity to give Zhou Mingyuan a good scolding.

Only after watching Wang Yufeng and the others board the train did Sheng Xiping breathe a sigh of relief and lead his men back.

Don't worry, I'll go back and farm properly, and I'll never try to be a vagrant again.

Then the transfer order came. What could I do?

The other party readily agreed and stated that with his protection, no one would dare to mess with Sheng Xiping's company in the Far East.

After the fire, many pieces of wood that were not completely burned remained in the burned area, and large, branchless trees could be seen everywhere, standing bare in the ashes.

Before getting on the bus, Sheng Xiping said this to Wang Yufeng.

There were also clothes, shoes, national grain coupons, rice, noodles, and other food items, all put together, totaling nearly a thousand yuan.

With this money, Wang Yufeng could go back to his hometown, buy some livestock, and settle down to farm and make a living. There would be no need for him to leave his hometown and come to Northeast China to make a living.

Those people then set their sights on fire-damaged wood, disregarding the impact on the environment and forests, insisting on entering the mountains to collect the trees that had been burned.

At the invitation of Alexander and others, Sheng Xiping went to Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and also visited Alexander's superior, the Supreme Commander of the Russians in the Far East.

Wang Yufeng was also frightened by the fire. Thinking back on the dangerous things he had done a few days ago, he felt a wave of fear.

To prevent them from taking the money and refusing to leave, Sheng Xiping personally went to the train station to see them off.

Although Old Yang had mentioned wanting to get some small toys, it wasn't appropriate for Sheng Xiping to ask directly when they first met.

Besides, those toys aren't cheap, and they don't have that many US dollars right now, so they'll wait a bit longer.

"Little brat, mind your own business," Sheng Xiping chuckled.

With everything settled, trade between Heihe and Manzhouli resumed.

"Your dad is always showing off. He finally got back to work, and now he's writing another report like a jerk."

Zhou Mingyuan was speechless after his wife's words.

Sheng Xiping and his delegation stayed in Khabarovsk for three days, meeting all the people they needed to meet and reaching agreements on all the matters that needed to be discussed, before returning home.

If this huge fire was started because of you, you'll be in jail for eight or ten years.

"Stop giving me this nonsense. Don't you know why you were recuperating at home the other day?"

In any case, all the hard work has finally yielded some results.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping only proposed that he wanted to open a branch in Gongqingcheng.

You've only been back at work for a few days, and you're already showing off again. Well, this time you've gone to the next province to show off. Don't you know what's going on there?

You've just offended them, and now you're trying to take charge? Who's going to listen to you?

"That place is a complete mess right now; everyone else is trying to avoid it, and you're just going to pounce on it. What were you thinking?"

"Dad, what's going on? Why are you being transferred to Heilongjiang Province?"

"President Sheng, thank you so much, you saved me."

On his way back, passing through Changchun, Sheng Xiping made a special trip to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Brother, I have a feeling that you deliberately found these people and kept them around us?" Gao Hailin said thoughtfully on the way back.

"It wasn't my idea to go. My superiors were just asking for my opinion on the collection of firewood, and I just gave them my honest opinion."

To Sheng Xiping's surprise, Zhou Mingyuan was being transferred again. This time, he was to be transferred to the Forestry Department of Heilongjiang Province as its head.

He never thought he could turn the tide on his own; he would consider it a success if he could only mitigate the losses.

As a result, the higher-ups issued a transfer order, moving him to Heilongjiang Province. "Wang Chunxiu said irritably from the side.
