If it's the latter, that would be interesting.
A playful smile appeared on Hao Jianshe's face. He turned to look at Gu Yunyang and chuckled, "Which reason do you think it is?"
Gu Yunyang genuinely didn't know this either.
Zhou Zhigang is a seasoned spy.
His facial expression certainly wouldn't be so overt. Even if the incident were to happen, Zhou Zhigang would probably hide his expression quite well.
These spies wouldn't give up until the very last moment.
They must have thought that they could turn the tide until the very last moment.
Therefore, you can't tell anything just by looking at facial expressions.
The opening of the sugar factory proceeded in an orderly manner. Zhou Zhigang gave a speech and did not forget to look at Hao Jianshe: "Secretary Hao, why don't you say a few words? After all, it's a new factory for our commune. It can bring us at least fifty jobs, not to mention providing a lot of funds and taxes every year."
Hao Jianshe had observed Zhou Hongcai's behavior before, so he was still quite confident and didn't take Zhou Zhigang's words to heart.
Instead, he shook his head and laughed, "Vice Secretary Zhou, it's good that you said so. Let's hurry up and open for business. Time is money. We still have so many employees. But speaking of which, did our sugar factory hire so many employees from the beginning? How will we pay their wages?"
Baishi Commune was not a wealthy commune; it only had a few factories.
Previously, the agricultural machinery factory was very strapped for cash, earning only a small amount of money each year due to technological limitations.
Previously, we almost couldn't even pay wages, and we had to rely on the commune for funding.
Now that the sugar factory has opened, at least twenty people have come.
Zhou Zhigang is recruiting people way too fast!
And it's obvious at a glance that these people are all people with connections.
Several of them are relatives of the directors and other officials who came today.
Hao Jianshe was still thinking about what to do with these people if something went wrong at the sugar factory.
They've already been recruited, but we don't even know if they'll be permanent employees.
These days, there's no such thing as being laid off. If you're a permanent employee, you'll be reassigned.
However, Hao Jianshe only thought about it casually and didn't think much of it.
What if the sugar factory goes out of business?
These people's arrangements must be giving Zhou Zhigang a headache.
Anyway, before the higher authorities arrested Zhou Zhigang, he was still the deputy secretary of the commune.
Since he brought this up, let him handle it.
There were others who voted in favor.
These matters are not for Hao Jianshe to handle.
So Hao Jianshe was all smiles throughout.
This surprised Zhou Zhigang, as Hao Jianshe had never been this shrewd before.
This is practically a slap in the face, yet he can remain completely unfazed?
He even smiled?
Hao Jianshe has grown up too; he's no longer the straightforward person he was when he first left the military.
Aren't soldiers all straightforward?
Everything is straightforward.
That approach works well in the military, but in civilian life, when dealing with administrative matters, you can't just be straightforward.
Hao Jianshe didn't change his mindset at first, so he suffered a lot of losses in the beginning.
But he was, after all, a commune cadre appointed by higher authorities. Zhou Zhigang could sideline him, but he couldn't directly dismiss him.
So although Hao Jianshe suffered, he also grew a lot.
Hao Jianshe's composure now is a testament to his growth.
Seeing Hao Jianshe's state, Zhou Zhigang knew there was nothing he could do; he knew he couldn't provoke Hao Jianshe any further.
However, since today was the opening day of the sugar factory, Zhou Zhigang did not intend to cause a scene with Hao Jianshe here.
The sugar factory business is more important.
"Alright, since Secretary Hao doesn't have anything to say, let's begin."
