Ye Shuning is moving forward steadily in Nangang, and Li Shaozhong is also working hard to fight for their hope of reunion.

Li Shaozhong is a person with high IQ and EQ, and he works very hard. He soon gained recognition from his leaders and was finally promoted to a higher level.

By this time, Li Shaozhong was already a capable official in the Foreign Trade Bureau. Many matters involving specialized knowledge in machinery and other areas had to be negotiated by Li Shaozhong, and his importance became even more apparent.

That day, Li Shaozhong suddenly saw Yan Jingwen at work. He was very surprised, "Jingwen, why are you here?"

Yan Jingwen felt a little complicated when he saw Li Shaozhong, who was full of energy and had a completely different mental state from when he left Fengyang Village. Could it be that Li Shaozhong had come to his senses so quickly and had already forgotten Ye Shuning?

He suppressed the words that were about to burst out and said, "The Ministry of Petroleum Industry needs to purchase some equipment. I asked you to come over and take a look. It would be even better if you were here."

At this time, Li Shaozhong was already working in his own office, and he took Yan Jingwen to his office.

Yan Jingwen looked around Li Shaozhong's office and said jokingly, "Great! You already have your own office. It seems you're doing well here."

Li Shaozhong smiled and made a cup of tea for Yan Jingwen, placing it on the coffee table. "Sit down and have a cup of tea. The oil field production has increased, right?"

Yan Jingwen sat down, picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, put it down and said, "You know, our equipment is not good enough. We can't achieve the expected output. If we want to increase production, we have to add more equipment, and it has to be advanced equipment.

Refineries and petrochemical plants also require even more equipment. Whether the oil produced by an oil field can be fully utilized depends on the quality of the equipment. Otherwise, many downstream products will not be fully utilized.

But most of the equipment we need now has to be imported. So I came here to see if you could offer me some help. Our country's foreign exchange reserves are limited, and with so many departments waiting to use them, there's just too much demand for too little. I'm hoping we can find a better way to buy cheaper equipment."

Li Shaozhong also knew that in the current international situation, even buying anything was difficult, let alone spending less. Western countries had banned and embargoed many items to restrict their development. Even if they tried to spend more, they wouldn't sell them anything sensitive.

The more foreigners try to restrict them and hinder their development, the more they will break through their obstacles and swim against the current. Sooner or later, they will catch up with those bandit countries. When that happens, they will be strong and see how those countries can bully them.

Li Shaozhong also poured some water into his teacup, took a sip and said, "It's not easy to import equipment, especially those that are banned or embargoed. You can't just spend money to buy them.

So we are currently trying to contact some big families in Nangang, hoping to import some of the things we need through them.

Petrochemical equipment isn't too difficult to buy, but we need to take our time and not rush. From what I've learned so far, the international situation is somewhat easing, which is a good sign."

Seeing that Li Shaozhong's office door was closed, Yan Jingwen whispered, "I heard that our mainland is planning to send some people to Nangang to set up an agency there to use Nangang's advantages to help the mainland import some sensitive items.

This is a good job, you can try to get it. I will try to get it too, maybe then we can work together again. We can take this opportunity to go out and see the world."

Li Shaozhong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Yan Jingwen to get the news and also want to go to Nangang. Regardless of whether Yan Jingwen would compete with him or not, he had to go to Nangang.

Li Shaozhong lowered his head, took a sip of water and said, "I've heard the news too. I must go to Nangang."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jingwen glanced at Li Shaozhong and asked, "Are you going to look for Xiao Ning and Jing Yu? There's still no news from them?"

Li Shaozhong looked down at his teacup. He decided not to tell Yan Jingwen about Ye Shuning's news for the time being. The fewer people who knew about Ye Shuning's being in Nangang, the less danger there would be.

Seeing Li Shaozhong silent, Yan Jingwen assumed he had brought up his sorrow, so he didn't dare ask any more questions. This time, he had come to Li Shaozhong to ask if he had any news about Ye Shuning. It seemed he was destined to get no news at all.

Yan Jingwen changed the subject and said, "I heard that the Wang family fell into ruin, and all the Wang family members except Wang Qianru were sent to labor camps. I heard that the conditions in the place where Wang Qianru went to live in the countryside were very difficult. As a delicate girl like her, she couldn't bear it. But they deserved it. If you do too much bad things, you will get retribution sooner or later."

Li Shaozhong sneered and said, "Wang Qianru, don't even think about coming back. Just put down roots there. As for the rest of the Wang family, send them to the labor camps in the northwest to do the most tiring work. Let them experience what it's like to have no freedom and only endless work."

Yan Jingwen knew that the Wang family's downfall was the work of the Li family. Ye Shuning and Li Jingyu were kidnapped, and the Wang family was involved. It would be strange if the Li family let them go.

But as far as Yan Jingwen knew, the Xue family and the Zhao family were also involved, and the Xue family's involvement was due to him. So he also had the responsibility to help find Ye Shuning's whereabouts.

Ever since Ye Shuning was kidnapped, he has been trying to find out her whereabouts. As far as he knows, Ye Shuning should no longer be in the mainland.

Maybe she was in Nangang, maybe she was abroad, maybe she was no longer in this world. He didn't dare to think about it. He tried his best to tell himself that Ye Shuning must still be alive.

Yan Jingwen went back very quickly. He was very busy with work and could not afford to waste time in the south.

Knowing Yan Jingwen's plan, Li Shaozhong felt even more urgent. He even called his elder brother to tell him about Yan Jingwen.

Li Shaoting had been arranging this matter for his brother and had used many connections. "Shaozhong, just do your job well. There will definitely be more than one person going this time. Be prepared to set off at any time."

After talking to his elder brother, Li Shaozhong felt relieved. Perhaps a leader would come to talk to him soon.

Nangang is very lively here. Now all the major newspapers in Nangang are paying attention to the box office of the new movie released by Wanhua Film Company. Everyone wants to see whether this movie will surpass the previous one and whether it will make history again.

Seeing this momentum, Ye Shuning is no longer worried about the box office. Even if it cannot compare to the previous movie, it will not be too far behind.

All she had to do now was find someone to design the factory according to her ideas and build it first. During the construction period, she could inspect the equipment, preferably after the factory was built and the equipment arrived.

The acquired factory has existing factory buildings, and some equipment also needs to be updated.
