"Even if they were to open up, it wouldn't be now. Unless they find another way to restrain us."
"So, you're against foreign investment?"
Wang Shouren smiled and said, "This is national policy, and I will not comment."
"You can talk about it, just think of it as a chat." The senior leader waved his hand, which was actually a kind of test.
"I support it, but nobody knows what the outcome will be. Differentiation is a good word."
Wang Shouren didn't say much.
But the top leader understood.
His expression did not lighten.
There is a saying: "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
The question is whether the division is affecting the other party or oneself; it's unclear and unknown.
As Wang Shouren left the Ministry of Industry, he looked at the sun in the sky, stretched, and felt the sunshine and weather were just right.

Seven days later
Li Laoshi and his wife Wang Li were carrying things out with great effort.
The surrounding workers looked at them with pity. Several other workers were also helping them move things, and they all looked dejected. Their family members stood by, their faces grim, muttering curses. Some were numb, some were angry, and some were pleading, but it didn't do much good.
If they don't move, someone will come to help them. Everyone knows that the factory manager is serious this time.
Anyone who dares to gamble here will inevitably end up on the factory manager's blacklist.
They can fire you without warning.
Nobody wants to lose their job at the motorcycle factory.
The group walked out of the factory looking as if they had lost their parents.
They exchanged a glance but said nothing, each going their own way. Fortunately, they still had some money on them.
Perhaps, no matter what kind of job I find in the future, it will never be as good as working in a motorcycle factory, but what can I do about it?
Li Laoshi and Wang Li, carrying two large bags, walked briskly towards the train station without saying a word, one in front of the other.
From morning until noon.
Just as they were about to enter the train station, they saw Director Wu standing in front of them with a smile.
The two exchanged a glance and tried to walk around Director Wu.
Eight more police officers suddenly appeared from all directions and surrounded them.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd quickly took a few steps back.
"Gentlemen, what a refined taste! You've got over ten thousand yuan in cash in your package, and you're just walking to the train station like this?" Director Wu asked with a smile.
"Sir, what do you mean by tens of thousands?" Li Laoshi looked at Director Wu in confusion: "Didn't you personally arrest me that day? I really have no money left."
"Okay, then open your package and take a look."
Li Laoshi: ...
Wang Li: ...
The two of them exchanged a glance.
Suddenly, Director Wu shouted sternly, "Don't move! Everyone listen to my command! If either of these two moves, shoot them immediately!"
A menacing aura emanated from Director Wu, causing Li Laoshi and Wang Li to tremble. They dared not move.
Detectives are all about skill, and there's really no good way to deal with this kind of brutal guy. They said, "If you move, I'll shoot." How can you move? And sure enough, the couple ended up in jail.
Inside the interrogation room.
Li Laoshi was no longer as honest as before; instead, he looked at Director Wu with a sinister expression: "When did you start to suspect me?"
“I’ve suspected you since the first day you entered there.” Director Wu smiled. “Now, can you tell me about the things you’ve done in the past? As far as I know, you have at least five lives on your hands. That’s nothing compared to your so-called wife, ‘Fire General,’ right? We found quite a few interesting things on her.”
“The first day, huh.” Li Laoshi sneered, “It was that kid, wasn’t it?”
Director Wu smiled but didn't give in. Dealing with this kind of seasoned veteran requires more than just patience.
Actually, Li Laoshi is right.
From day one, he was targeted by Zuo Yan.
Zuo Yan's secret scrolls record this method: the "real man" hides himself among the gamblers, first pretending to have been lured there and then becoming addicted. In a large casino, no one pays special attention to an honest fellow; Li Laoshi is a perfect cover. The gamblers here are only focused on what's happening at the gambling table.
As long as he uses the identity of Li Laoshi and tells others that he is a gambler, then when the police come, he can take off his mask and reveal that he is indeed Li Laoshi, and the punishment will not be too severe.
Moreover, he and his wife also cooperate.
His wife came to arrest him, but since she wasn't involved, she was released. While he was in prison, she packed her things, and once he was released, she found an excuse to resign. Wang Shouren fired her directly, making things easier for them. Just when they were happily thinking they could escape, they didn't expect that Director Wu and his men were waiting for them on the road.
“If this were before, you wouldn’t have been able to catch me,” Li Laoshi said through gritted teeth.
He was telling the truth. Of the Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates, frankly speaking, only he was the legitimate "General." The others were just there to make up the numbers. Even Wang Li, the "Fire General," wasn't qualified; her skill level was nowhere near that of the older generation. That's why he got caught, and he was indignant.
However, whether he accepts it or not, it's all meaningless now.
What awaits them is a bullet they will have to pay for themselves.
After finishing this matter, Wang Shouren originally planned to implement the new system today, but Zhao Wuliang returned, which made him temporarily stop his work and personally go to the airport to pick him up.
This time, it was another large family that came down.
Zhao Wuliang and his wife, Zhao Wuliang's parents, Zhao Wuliang's son and daughter-in-law, and finally, a little one, this is four generations living together.
"Engineer Zhao, it's been many years! You're still as dashing as ever!" Wang Shouren greeted him cheerfully as he stepped forward.
They exchanged pleasantries.
Three cars were arranged.
The elderly people, upon returning to their homeland, were naturally moved to tears and chatted for quite a while at the airport. In the end, it was only after Zhao Wuliang helped them into the car that they finally calmed down.
"Mr. Zhao, I asked around about your old house, and it's already been bought and used for something else." Once in the car, Wang Shouren spoke to Zhao Wuliang: "I've arranged another residence for you, a two-courtyard house, all furnished. You can move in right away. You must be tired from your journey today; let's talk again after you've rested."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your help. You can calculate the cost for me later, and I'll settle the payment with you."
