What did Deputy Secretary Zhou say about the sugar factory? Oh, you mean the commune's sugar factory? But didn't Deputy Secretary Zhou say he was going to send people to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Guangzhou to learn?
I'm self-taught and have only read a few books. How can I compare to a professor from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?
I was afraid of saying the wrong thing and ruining things, so I haven't dared to speak up. But, did the Academy of Agricultural Sciences not provide adequate instruction? Or did our Comrade Zhou not put in the effort to learn? That can't be right.
Our commune paid a lot of travel expenses so that Comrade Zhou could learn a skill and bring it back to our Baishi Commune, so that we could add an industry, build a new factory, and bring profits to the commune.
This could also solve some of the employment problems. Deputy Secretary Zhou, you absolutely must find out what went wrong.
Our commune is not wealthy to begin with; it's the poorest commune in the city. Every penny must be spent wisely, and we absolutely cannot waste any.
This is undermining socialism, and we must never do it.
"By the way, Deputy Secretary Zhou, you just said there was a problem at the sugar factory? What's wrong? Tell us so we can discuss it and see if we can help resolve it."
Hao Jianshe almost burst out laughing.
The moment Zhou Zhigang had the idea of shifting the blame into his mind, before he could even finish speaking, Gu Yunyang understood.
He immediately launched into a long, rambling explanation.
The division of responsibilities is very clear. It has been said that a professor from the Guangzhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences is not as good as a high school graduate.
That's a professor who can supervise graduate students, even doctoral students.
If Zhou Zhigang dares to say that the professor is inferior to Gu Yunyang, the professor will come looking for trouble.
Don't think that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has no solution.
Furthermore, if Zhou Zhigang dares to say that there's a problem with the sugar factory, then Gu Yunyang will dare to say that it's all because of Zhou Hongcai, Zhou Zhigang's nephew, who's just sitting idly by.
He took the commune's money for business trips but didn't properly learn the skills.
The failure to bring back the complete technology meant that all of Baishi Commune's investments went down the drain.
Then they asked Zhou Zhigang to bring it up in person so everyone could discuss it together and see if a solution could be found.
Zhou Zhigang couldn't say it to his face, nor could he remain silent.
This kid really knows his stuff.
This series of moves caught Zhou Zhigang completely off guard.
As a long-time rival, Zhou Zhigang suffered a setback, which naturally made Hao Jianshe happy.
Zhou Zhigang is now in a situation where he can't speak, and he can't remain silent either.
I felt incredibly depressed.
Zhou Zhigang thought to himself, "This Gu Yunyang is young, but he's sharp-tongued and can't even out-argue this old hand. He's definitely learned. Zhuge Liang debated with a group of Confucian scholars, but Gu Yunyang only needs to deal with him. Isn't that easy?"
Hao Jianshe knew when to stop, and seeing Zhou Zhigang's frustrated expression, he almost burst out laughing.
However, we can't keep pushing them any further during the meeting.
Otherwise, Zhou Zhigang will just flip the table and leave later.
If word gets out, their commune's leadership will be reprimanded by their superiors.
"Alright, Yunyang. The sugar factory is under the responsibility of Deputy Secretary Zhou, and he has full authority over it. It's not time to investigate the sugar factory yet, so let's not talk about it for now."
Gu Yunyang nodded: "Okay, Secretary Hao. I just feel that what Deputy Secretary Zhou said makes no sense. He didn't even say anything, yet he mentioned going to Guangzhou to learn. I also feel that I'm definitely not as good as those professors."
Besides, I'm just a lowly brigade secretary, and I don't understand the general direction of the commune. I don't dare to speak up casually. If I mess up Deputy Secretary Zhou's arrangements, I can't bear the consequences.
"Secretary Hao, you're so reliable! From now on, we'll have to rely on you to spread the word about things like mushrooms and lead our Baishi Commune onto the road to prosperity!"
