Chen Qing spent nearly an hour organizing the personnel into groups.

Finally, Chen Qing looked at Bai Yu Ziqiang, who had been listening in the background: "Director Yu."

"Here!" Yu Ziqiang stood up straight instinctively.

"Your task is the most important. You are the overall coordinator. All the materials, tools, and site support needed by each group will be collected and sent to you. Hongxing Factory will open its warehouses and workshops as a common testing base for all groups. At the same time, every day at five o'clock in the afternoon, the group leaders will give you a verbal report on the day's progress and difficulties. You will write it down, and we will meet for ten minutes every night."

"clear!"

Yu Ziqiang felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

But there's also a long-lost drive.

Chen Qing looked at the people in front of him and gave them some more encouragement before finally letting them get back to their work.

Everyone had a furrowed brow, because the task assigned by the director was truly not simple.

While observing everyone's busy work, Chen Qing took notes and said to Secretary Zhang, "We need to come up with a replicable solution for everyone, so during this time, wherever you go with me, remember to bring paper and pen."

"Director, don't worry, everything is prepared."

After arriving in Sichuan Province, Secretary Zhang found it very difficult to adapt and lost several pounds.

His maladjustment was not due to geographical reasons.

It's purely because of the food.

Even in the capital, where people can handle a little spice, the food isn't this spicy. Sichuan cuisine is really spicy!!

If you don't eat, you'll go hungry; if you do eat, you'll get diarrhea.

Recently, Secretary Zhang has had to prepare an extra bowl for meals, rinsing it first before eating, otherwise he simply can't handle the hassle.

Chen Qing couldn't always occupy Director Yu's office, so they temporarily set up another one for her, where she constantly handled various miscellaneous tasks.

A week later, each group had different results. Chen Qing told them to continue their experiments and called a meeting with the leadership of Hongxing Garment Factory: "When our garment factory makes clothes, the standards are not strict enough, resulting in a lot of defective products. There are so many that we can't sell them, so we can only keep them. I plan to set up a group to remodel these clothes and sell them to individual businesses with business licenses. That way, we can have a short-term economic recovery, buy a batch of new equipment to revamp them, and clear out the inventory at the same time."

Do you cooperate with individual business owners?

Yu Ziqiang hesitated.

Does this comply with the rules?

Nationwide, only Guangdong Province is currently the most open. There are still many places where people haven't even heard of any plans for reform and opening up. Hongxing Garment Factory is relatively remote and isolated, so people tend to be cautious in their actions.

Chen Qing: "It's alright. We're supporting educated youth to embrace the city again; we're doing a good deed."

Everyone: "..."

Is that even possible?

Chen Qing organized the warehouse data: "With this batch of fabric, we can probably make a thousand vests. Vests are worn by men, women, and children of all ages, so they're not hard to sell. We can sell the ones with minor defects at cost price. If a small wholesaler buys a lot, we can give them away with the most severely defective vests. What do you think?"

Everyone thinks it's worth a try.

Therefore, after improving the environment as much as possible, the second step is to reorganize resources.

Chen Qing was extremely busy in Sichuan Province.

I used to spend my weekends in the capital.

Since arriving here, I've been working right up until the moment before I go to sleep.

The family celebrated the New Year together in the capital, but it felt like the festive atmosphere was much less. He Yuan was worried that Chen Qing's health wouldn't hold up, so he called her every day. But after she recovered and left Director Yu's office, he basically called her once a week.

Now, during the Lunar New Year, the whole family eagerly awaits her call.

Chen Qing walked for more than half an hour to the post office and called his family: "Hello."

He Yuan: "Hey, did you eat meat over there during the Chinese New Year?"

He spoke while blocking the attacks from the three children in his family.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "I've eaten. The cafeteria has extra food, including meat dishes."

"Is the meat dish eggs?"

"hold head high."

"Didn't I send you cured pork, sausages, and dried beef?"

"I...ate it."

Chen Qingfen went down.

A group of college students are at the age when they are growing, how can they not take good care of themselves?

He Yuan sneered.

Chen Qing smiled apologetically, "He Yuan, I miss you so much."

He Yuan's composed face relaxed again, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

Youyou: "Ahhh, Daddy, you're not allowed to talk anymore, it's my turn."

He snatched the phone from his father, wanting to talk to his mother, but the child, who had been shouting so loudly, choked up as soon as he opened his mouth: "Mom... Waaah... When are you coming home?"

Chen Qingxin softened and replied gently, "It'll be soon. You'll be able to go home around summer vacation. Don't cry during the New Year. Has your brother come home yet? Weren't you happy to see him?"

"My brother has gone home, but I miss you."

Youyou could hold back when she didn't hear her mother's voice, but now that she hears it again, and it's a joyous day for family reunion, she can't help but want to sing.

"I have a gift for you. You should receive it in a few days. It's a very beautiful wood carving."

"Okay, then you should come back soon."

"good."

Immediately afterwards, Pingping and Xiaoyu also spoke to Chen Qing, and one of them cried as they spoke. In the end, the three siblings hugged each other and wept bitterly.

Finally, when He Yuxiang spoke, he said arrogantly, "Remember to take care of your health. You're so old, don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

I'm thirty.

"Thirty is quite old."

"Go to hell!"

"I'll send you more food after I get back to Guangdong Province."

"OK."

Chen Qing finally heard something satisfactory.

Xiaoyu picked up the microphone again and said, "Auntie, I'm coming to visit you during summer vacation!"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Okay."

He Yuan watched from the sidelines, feeling that Chen Qing's goal was to get it done before summer vacation. Finally, he took the microphone and told Chen Qing: "Dress well and eat well."

"Okay, take good care of yourself too, otherwise I'll have to worry about you while I'm out here. It's almost time, I have to hang up, we'll talk again next time."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative with his head down. Once back at the cooperative, he poured hot water into an enamel mug to warm his hands.

When Zheng Yuling came to fetch water, she saw the director stamping his feet and breathing out warm air because of the cold, so she stepped forward and asked, "Director, is it very tiring to go to the local areas?"

Chen Qing turned around, looked at the young girl in front of him, and smiled, "We are public servants, serving the people."

Zheng Yuling gripped the water glass tightly with both hands, gazing intently at her, as if trying to imprint this scene completely into her mind.

Seeing her dazed expression, Chen Qing uncorked the kettle and poured her a cup of hot water. "It's cold, remember to cover yourselves well at night. By the way, do you experience stomach cramps when you have your periods? You can ask me for brown sugar and eggs every time you have your period, so you don't ruin your health by working more than ten hours a day." (End of Chapter)
