Footsteps were chaotic, and voices drew closer.

Zhou Zhengmin led six or seven people in.

The people who came were all in their forties or fifties, dressed in standard dark Zhongshan suits or Lenin suits, with their rank buttons fastened very strictly.

When they saw Chen Qing, their expressions varied: some scrutinized, some assessed, and some were wary, but none of these prevented them from being cautious.

Zhou Zhengmin turned to Chen Qingdao and said, "Director Chen, let me introduce you. This is Director Li Jianguo of the Textile Division, a senior member of our division, you should know him. This is Comrade Sun Mei of the Clothing and Footwear Division, this is Director Wang Zhenhua of the Planning and Coordination Division, Engineer Liu of the Technology and Quality Division, Comrade Liu Shufang, and Director Zhao Guangming of the Daily Necessities Division..."

Each section chief whose name was called stepped forward, nodded to Chen Qing, and addressed him as Director Chen, speaking respectfully but maintaining a distance through body language.

Chen Qing stood up, looked at each of them across the large desk, and nodded in return.

"Happy New Year to all the department heads. I'm new here and don't know much about the situation. I hope you'll all take good care of me in my future work."

"Director Chen, you're too kind."

"Of course."

"We will definitely cooperate with the work."

The responses came one after another, and everyone was very polite and courteous.

The meeting was brief and lasted less than ten minutes.

The section chiefs left, each with their own thoughts.

The voices from the General Affairs Office also lowered, returning to their suppressed busy state.

Everyone was polite but wary of Chen Qing.

When Chen Qingchu first arrived, he started by familiarizing himself with the internal framework, taking out the documents from the Consumer Goods Industry Department behind him and beginning to study them.

A group of people surrounded Director Zhou of the main building, all asking him what Chen Qing would do next.

"I've heard Chen Qing isn't someone to be trifled with. Could she be thinking of ways to subdue us?"

"It's hard to say, but she's new here, so we should all behave properly and not let her find any fault with us to establish her authority."

Zhou Zhengmin gave instructions.

He thoroughly investigated Chen Qingche and discovered that she was ruthless and resourceful.

At a young age, when he was just a deputy director at the machinery factory, he already had the air of a new broom sweeping clean. Now he is a director and has come to the capital. How can a young man who is the focus of the whole country be restrained? He is bound to establish his authority.

Those old guys are the perfect targets for establishing authority!

Everyone agreed with Zhou Zhengmin's words.

Chen Qing remained unusually calm, even silent.

She did not convene a plenary session, deliver a passionate policy address, or make any changes to existing personnel or work arrangements.

Like a drop of water, it silently merged into this huge and old machine.

Chen Qing himself was just like a new recruit, so he also assigned some tasks to Secretary Zhang: "You should familiarize yourself with the place more, and so should I. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't even pronounce the names of the departments correctly."

"I know."

Secretary Zhang felt an indescribable anxiety.

He thought that the director would intimidate everyone after arriving at the new location, but Chen Qing was quiet and unassuming after arriving, just like a newly arrived junior staff member.

"Director, aren't you... going to hold a group meeting?"

"Everything is running smoothly, let me familiarize myself with it first."

Chen Qing looked at the small mountain of documents piled up on her desk. They were mostly work reports from previous years, drafts of five-year plans for various industries, statistical yearbooks of key enterprises, and so on, which she had asked Zhou Zhengmin to procure during this period.

Chen Qing felt it would take a long time to properly familiarize himself with this behemoth.

Although it is a flat tune.

But just like switching industries, it's difficult.

Secretary Zhang sighed.

He really wanted to see the director, all powerful and authoritative, deal with them!

"Okay, I'll go practice properly."

"Hey, here are the materials I prepared for you. Let me tell you, this publicly funded training is an incredible opportunity, it's amazing, you know?"

Chen Qing didn't know why Secretary Zhang felt depressed. As a long-time pure-blooded worker, he felt that it was really great to study at public expense.

Secretary Zhang was confused.

Secretary Zhang, I admire you!

He is indeed a person who can become a director; his mentality is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even though the wolves and tigers outside were about to bite her, she was still able to stay calm and do her own thing.

But she is the leader.

She has the final say.

Secretary Zhang took a large stack of documents from the director and returned to his desk, where he couldn't help but scratch his head.

He felt that since arriving in the capital, the pressure of studying was greater than the pressure of actual work.

Faced with all sorts of information, he sighed again and continued to bury himself in his work.

Everyone in the Consumer Goods Industry Division was watching their every move, seeing them remain quiet while alarms blared!

Could Chen Qing be plotting something big?!

In fact, Chen Qing buried himself in this sea of ​​paper, studying at work and even stuffing some documents into his briefcase to take home after get off work.

After arriving home, Chen Qing flipped through some documents on the sofa in the living room.

He Yuxiang came over and said to her, "I bought two houses for Pingping and Youyou and put them in their names. I'm going to start a business, focusing on desserts and catering. I'll train people in Guangdong Province and bring them over. I don't know exactly how much money I can transfer, but I think we're in the early stages of reform now, so we should try other industries. If we succeed, we can establish a branch company and send people to cultivate the business. If we don't succeed, we can give up and shift to other routes so we don't keep thinking about it."

Chen Qing gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

That's execution.

Absolutely fantastic.

He Yuxiang smiled slightly, then suppressed his composure: "I have to go back to check on my TV factory. Don't let your uncle worry too much."

Chen Qing said seriously, "He likes it."

He Yuxiang covered his throat.

Chen Qing laughed and scolded, "What a disgrace!"

He Yuxiang left his aunt, who loved to show off her affection, and went upstairs to find his uncle: "I'm going back to my hometown."

He Yuan looked up from the document: "When will I send it to you?"

"Don't see me off. It will make me feel bad. Just pick me up when I come."

He Yuxiang felt that once his family saw him off, he didn't want to leave.

He Yuan pondered for a while and then said, "Then remember to call home. Making money is not as important as your health. Health is the foundation of everything. Remember to eat well and sleep well."

"good."

He Yuxiang agreed and went to Tsinghua University to find Xiaoyu the next day.

Yang Yihe saw He Yuxiang first and went to call Xiaoyu for him.

A female classmate grabbed Yang Yihe's arm, her voice trembling: "Yang Yihe, who is that guy outside? What school does he go to?"

“My childhood friend, he dropped out of school and is currently running a business; he’s a small factory manager.”

"A businessperson..."

The female student's interest was greatly diminished.

Yang Yihe hummed in agreement, then quietly broke free from her grasp and called Xiaoyu to see He Yuxiang.

Xiao Yu ran happily towards her brother: "Brother, what brings you here?"

"I'm going back to Guangdong Province. I'll probably be back in the capital to be with you all during the summer vacation, so I came to let you know." Seeing her eyes quickly dim, He Yuxiang pulled out a meat bun: "Here, this is for you." (End of Chapter)
