That night, Guan Wenru was tossed and turned by He Yanzhi for a long time.
She didn't have to do anything, so why was she the only one who got tired?
Guan Wenru couldn't understand why He Yanzhi went to the camp for training at night.
Doesn't he get tired?
How do you still have so much energy and stamina to torment her!
He Yanzhi has been sleeping well these past few nights, and even his dark circles have improved a lot.
This caused quite a stir among the young soldiers in the camp.
Everyone's saying that their regimental commander was kicked off the bed by his wife.
...
Guan Wenru had no idea what those people were saying, otherwise she would have lost all face.
She had just woken up that day when the landline rang.
Guan Wenru guessed who was on the other end of the phone. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
On the other end of the phone, Director Ma tried his best to sound calm. "Comrade Xiao Guan, it's me, Director Ma! I'm calling to tell you that the Party Committee's research results are out."
After careful consideration, we have decided to appoint you as the deputy director of our feed processing plant!
This is an important leadership position! Would it be convenient for you to come to the commune now? We can discuss the specific division of labor and the details of building the factory.”
"..."
Guan Wenru almost sneered out loud. Did he want to just arrange things for her directly?
She said in a flat tone, "Deputy factory director? Director Ma, thank you for the 'favor' from the commune leaders, but... I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of this position."
Director Ma on the other end was clearly getting anxious. "Comrade Xiao Guan, what are you saying? The deputy factory director is a real position, in charge of production! This shows the commune's trust in and regard for you! You..."
“Director Ma!” Guan Wenru interrupted him directly, her tone still calm, “No need to trouble yourself, our unit leaders are also getting impatient, they just received new instructions.”
Since the conditions in our commune are not yet ripe, the leaders have decided to reassess the site selection and see which of the other communes is more suitable and more sincere.
After all, we proposed setting up the factory to solve practical problems, and we can't keep getting bogged down in these trivial matters and delaying the revolutionary production tasks. That's settled, Director Ma."
"Xiao Guan!" Director Ma's voice suddenly rose, "You're planning to look for other communes? Well... Xiao Guan, how can this be?! It won't do!"
Look, our commune is closest to your troops' base. Building this factory here is the most convenient and beneficial for both the troops and the commune!
Transportation, communication, personnel allocation—aren't all of these things easily accessible? To seek help from other communes would be going the long way around, increasing the costs of the revolution!
Guan Wenru's lips curled into a cold smile. "Director Ma, that's true, but I'm just relaying the decisions of the military leaders. As you know, the military values efficiency."
"Efficiency! We are efficient too! Comrade Guan, please don't misunderstand! There might have been a small communication problem before!"
"Alright! Make your demands! Whatever your requirements, just say them! As long as they're reasonable, the commune will fully support you! We absolutely won't put you in a difficult position! Land for the factory, supporting facilities, recruitment—everything is negotiable! Everything is negotiable!"
Director Ma was so anxious that he was incoherent. He really didn't expect Guan Wenru to actually come!
Guan Wenru deliberately remained silent for a few seconds.
Director Ma was on tenterhooks!
After a moment, Guan Wenru finally spoke, "Director Ma, can your words represent the opinion of the commune's Party Committee?"
Director Ma immediately nodded firmly, "Yes! Absolutely! I guarantee it with my personal Party spirit! Comrade Wenru, as long as you can come to the commune today, we can settle things face to face!"
Whatever documents or approvals you need, I'll get them for you right here today! No delays whatsoever! How about this afternoon? No, this morning! You can come right now!
Guan Wenru smiled slightly, "Alright, since you put it that way, then... I'll make another trip to the commune in a bit."
But Director Ma… please don’t let me leave empty-handed this time, or make a wasted trip. I hope you won’t disappoint me, and you won’t disappoint the military leaders.”
Director Ma repeatedly assured him, "No, no! You'll be absolutely satisfied! Comrade Xiao Guan, don't worry! I'll be waiting for you in my office! All the documents are ready! You can name any conditions you want! I'll be waiting for you!"
He was so anxious because the duck he was about to get almost flew away.
Guan Wenru hung up the phone with an undisguised smile of victory on her face.
She turned to look at Guan Wanxin on the kang (a heated brick bed), "Grandma, it's almost done."
Guan Wanxin smiled and said, "This is the result we're expecting. Go ahead, but don't be too pretentious. You'll need their stamps and such in the future."
"I know."
Guan Wenru quickly tidied up the file folder on the table and prepared to leave.
Just then, He Yanzhi suddenly returned.
He saw Guan Wenru carrying a file folder and about to leave. "Going to the commune?"
"Yes, why are you back at this time?"
"I'm coming back to pack a couple of clothes. I have a meeting in the provincial capital that I need to attend, which might take two or three days. Will the commune's paperwork be delayed again today? Do you want to come with me to the provincial capital and relax a bit?"
Guan Wenru's eyes lit up. "Wow! What a coincidence! I also need to go to the provincial capital!"
"Um?"
Guan Wenru waved the file bag in her hand with a bright smile, "The commune director has already given his approval. I'll go see him now and get the land allocation consent letter and the commune's approval document for building the factory."
I'll go to the provincial capital with you! The commune's procedures are just the first step; we still need to handle the crucial procedures like the project approval from the county-level authorities and the city's construction planning filing!
Once we get all these permits, the feed processing plant can start construction!
He Yanzhi smiled knowingly, "Okay! I'll go with you to the commune first to get a couple of changes of clothes."
