After discussing the matter, Ruan Ruan got out of the car and asked Zheng Xuyang to go to the Lu family's house to pick up the people first. She would go find Chen Liang and Liu Gang and have dinner at their house together that evening. Then, she took the call from the pharmaceutical factory and called home to tell her grandparents that she was bringing people home for dinner that night.
Since the two grandparents arrived in Beijing, the old man has been helping to take care of the children. Fortunately, the two children are quite obedient and smart. When the old man and woman are resting, they teach them to read. After Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng went to Tangcheng this time, the two children slept with the two grandparents. At night, the old man likes to tell them about their time fighting the Japanese. The two children admire him very much. Now that Ruan Ruan is back, the two children no longer clamor to sleep with her at night. They just want to hear their great-grandfather tell them stories about fighting the Japanese.
That evening, after a pleasant dinner at the Huo family's house, the group went to the study to discuss matters.
Zheng Xuyang first compiled a list of the managers needed for several factories, and then, after removing the existing staff, compiled a list of the people who were still needed.
Looking at the people who were still missing, they all silently thought about how their friends could fill the gaps.
"We don't really need any managers at the pharmaceutical factory right now. The factory manager at the furniture factory is my second brother, the publicity manager is my second sister-in-law, and Da Yong is good at sales. As for the other positions..." Huo Haojie mentally screened out all the people he could use. "For finance, I have a new guy named Wang Liang, who just graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. There are a few others who are currently group leaders at the steel and machinery factories. I'll ask them tomorrow. It would be best if they were willing to leave and come over. If not, I'll look at other people."
Those present, hearing Huo Haojie's words, knew that he had quite a few people under his command, and felt much more at ease.
"Brother, you'd better recruit a few more outstanding people and put them in the position of deputy factory director. I'll still need them next year." Since she had people on hand, Ruan Ruan also thought about the college entrance examination that would be reinstated next year. She would require Huo Haoshi, Huo Haoshen and the others, as well as Zheng Xuyang and the others, to take the college entrance examination. If that happened, there would be a shortage of people when they left.
Instead of scrambling to find people later, it's better to get them in place now so that it will be easier to hand over the work later.
Hearing Ruan Ruan say that, everyone assumed that she would expand her business in other areas first. Chen Liang and Liu Gang were very excited. This year, they had been picking up the pieces of the pie by following Ruan Ruan. If she made any moves next year, then they would have business for next year too, and they wouldn't have to worry about their brothers not having work.
Some were happy while others were sad. Chen Liang and his group were overjoyed, but Zheng Xuyang was filled with worry. "Are you trying to kill me? So many things, is this never going to end?"
"If it's the position of deputy factory director, then I can ask around. Because of the relationship between the Xu family and the Zhao family, a few people were suppressed and dismissed for not taking sides. At first, I thought the position of director was a bit of a waste of their talents, but now that you're talking about deputy factory director, then they are perfectly capable. I'll go to see them tomorrow."
Hearing Huo Haojie say this, it's obvious without asking that these people were having a tough time during that period. However, their positions were revoked, and now each job is a one-person-one-position job. Even if they were reassigned, they would probably only be junior staff members. Falling from a high position to the bottom is quite a drop in status.
Judging from Huo Haojie's tone, they should also be his men. Now that they've come to Ruanruan's side, it's like they've returned to the organization, and both sides are quite happy.
The next morning, while Ruan Ruan was still sleeping in, Huo Haojie had already gone out to look for someone.
He had already taken his men to meet Zheng Xuyang at Zhumeng that afternoon.
"This is Comrade Zheng Xuyang, who is in charge of the current group. These three are Comrade Tang Hong, Comrade Wu Jie, and Comrade Li Renzhao." Huo Haojie had already told them about their situation last night. Now, seeing the three of them, they didn't look very old, around thirty years old, but they all had a few gray hairs on their heads, probably from the suppression and distress they experienced during that period.
Huo Haojie had told them about Zheng Xuyang's situation on the way here, and they had also heard about Zheng Xuyang's activities in Yuncheng and Haicheng over the past two years. However, they were surprised to find that he was such a calm and reserved young man.
"Hello, comrades. Please have a seat. I'm sure Haojie has already told you about our situation here. From now on, we'll all be colleagues, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. We have a lot of things to do at the factory right now, so I hope you can help us out in the future."
Upon seeing the three men, Zheng Xuyang understood why Huo Haojie immediately thought of them when the topic of deputy factory director came up. Regardless of what the past had brought them, at least now, they stood before him, displaying the aura of those in positions of authority, completely on par with those still sitting in the factory director's position.
When Huo Haojie found them that morning to come to Zhumeng to be deputy factory directors, the three of them were both excited and worried. They were excited because they still had a chance to turn their lives around, because they did not feel that helping Huo Haojie was doing him a favor. After all, their family's lives were saved by Mr. Bai. Without Mr. Bai, their families would have been gone long ago.
What worries them is that they haven't had any contact with Zheng Xuyang. How could a young man who's just starting out revitalize such a large market as Yuncheng in such a short time? And how could he decisively donate all the Zheng family's businesses to the country when the family's reputation was ruined? And how could he orchestrate a scheme to expose his second uncle's actions in front of millions of people, thus protecting the Zheng family's reputation? They don't believe that such a person doesn't have some tricks up his sleeve.
This person, however, immediately showed them friendliness. Without even needing to investigate, he directly said that they would be colleagues from now on, which completely dispelled their concerns.
"I wonder what Comrade Zheng needs us to do?" Wu Jie asked Zheng Xuyang from behind.
"We're all family here, so there's no need to be so polite. Just call me by my name, like Haojie does. Let's not rush into other things for now. As you three probably know, our factory is about to allocate housing, and we're just starting to collect the data today. If you need anything, you can fill out some basic information. Also, if you have children at home, you should fill it out as well. Our school starts in September, and we need to do this first to allocate classes for the children."
As he spoke, Zheng Xuyang handed them the statistics sheet.
They didn't expect to be assigned rooms as soon as they arrived.
Looking at the statistics table, which included information on Zheng Xuyang, Huo Haoshen, and even Huo Haojie, they knew it wasn't fake, and there was no need for them to try and fool them with something fake.
Since they were suppressed, the houses that the factory originally allocated to them were also taken back. After that, they had no choice but to rent two rooms outside, one for their parents and one for themselves and their children.
Now things are finally looking up. We've finally overcome all our hardships. We have jobs, houses, and even a school for our children.
