The Shen family has been very busy recently. As confidants of the leader, they have been exposed to a lot of information. The new official is about to take office, and economic reform is the top priority. Due to the reasons of certain cadres, the Capital No. 5 Steel Plant has been poorly managed in recent years and has suffered a loss of 2.2 billion yuan throughout the year.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, steel mills have always been popular enterprises, but there are not many that have suffered serious losses like the Fifth Steel Mill. The leaders also want to start with these state-owned enterprises and achieve a certain degree of enterprise reform.
The Shen family was busy with these things. Shen Qiaosheng had been leaving early and returning late for several days. Director Zhao Jian of the Fifth Steel Plant went to the Development Committee to block Shen Qiaosheng for several days, but he didn't touch a corner of his clothes.
As a last resort, Zhao Jian had to use various connections to find out the address of the Shen family. After a lot of communication, he was finally released. He used to think that being the factory director was already very impressive, but after seeing the majesty of the Shen family today, Zhao Jian realized what a huge difference there was.
Shen Qiaosheng was reluctant to see him, but Shen Xiuqi said that enterprise restructuring is a difficult process. As the factory director, Zhao Jian should be anxious. If he keeps hiding, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause.
When Zhao Jian entered, Shen Xiuqi was playing Go with Fu Baoer in the yard. The old man and the young boy were lost in thought and silent, as if they were completely unaware of him. Shen Xiuqi sat beside them, occasionally refilling their cups of tea or peeling some fruit.
It was a warm and harmonious scene, but Zhao Jian was surprised. The reason was that Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi were too familiar with each other. Isn't this his daughter Zhao Lingrou's college classmate?
The conflict in the dormitory that day was still vivid in Zhao Jian's mind, and he became even more flustered. Shen Suizhi's eyebrows and features were somewhat similar to that old man. They should be grandfather and grandson. Wasn't that Minister Shen Qiaosheng's nephew?
What about Fu Baoer? This little girl was mentioned a lot by my daughter when she came back. It was obvious that there were some conflicts between them. What was her relationship with the Shen family?
While Zhao Jian was stunned, Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi had also noticed him. Fu Baoer curled the corners of her mouth. What a coincidence! It turned out that Zhao Lingrou's father was the director of the Capital's Fifth Steel Plant.
Shen Suizhi ignored Zhao Jian. They would not let some minor conflicts among the younger generation affect their judgment.
Zhao Jian continued to walk in nervously. Shen Qiaosheng was waiting for him in the study on the second floor. His attitude was very polite and there was nothing special about it. Zhao Jian felt a little relieved. He guessed in his heart that Minister Shen was an upright and well-behaved person, and did not seem like someone who would take the opportunity to take revenge on his juniors.
Maybe it was just a coincidence.
Without further ado, Shen Qiaosheng handed Zhao Jian the Fifth Steel Plant's operating status over the past few years. "It's not just your plant. This restructuring is a large-scale system reform that we've discussed. From large-scale plants like yours to small state-owned enterprises, all will face this change. As a cadre of our country, you should cooperate well and go back to sort out a set of regulations. How to settle the workers and how to make up for the losses are all your most important considerations now."
Instead of always feeling that they are going to lose their jobs, they beg for mercy and hope that their factory will be spared from this reform.
Zhao Jian broke out in a cold sweat. The steel mill had been making losses, but as a state-owned enterprise, it was a loss, but it was not their own money that was lost. It had always been like this before, so why did the situation change this year?
"Minister Shen, do you think there's really no turning back?" Zhao Jian tried to offer a cigarette, but Shen Qiaosheng refused. He withdrew his hand awkwardly. "It's not that I want to trouble the leadership, but this restructuring has far-reaching implications. Thousands of workers in our factory, if they lose their jobs, where will they live? It would also be a big problem for the country. What do you think?"
Of course Shen Qiaosheng knew this. Did he think they wanted to take over such a mess? Whether it was the legacy tax issues or the debts, they were all troublesome. The biggest personnel obstacle was also difficult to resolve. However, in the long run, restructuring was imperative.
"Don't worry, the country won't force you," Chen Qiaosheng gestured for Zhao Jian to drink some water, and he slowly soothed him. "It's at least a few months before the official documents come out. Choosing you as a pilot is a sign that the leadership values you and is giving you a chance to perform. You haven't even tried your best, and you're already so eager to back out. How can the leadership be happy?"
Zhao Jian heard three meanings from this. The first was that once the documents came down, a large number of factories would be forced to restructure without even a moment to breathe. The second was that their steel plant still had a glimmer of hope. As long as they performed well and handled this matter beautifully, there might be other ways out. The third was that it was the decision of the top leader, and Shen Qiaosheng couldn't change it, so there was no point in looking for him.
That's all Shen Qiaosheng said. Zhao Jian's steel plant, if nothing unexpected happens, will be taken over by the Shen family. Although he serves on the development committee, the old man is in good health and can work for a few more years. Shen Suizhi will also go into business in the future.
This is what the Shen family has been doing for China since returning to China.
Although Zhao Jian did not achieve his goal, he had some idea in mind. He left with many thanks. When he passed by the yard, Fu Baoer had finished playing chess and was lying leisurely in a rocking chair enjoying the breeze. When he saw him come out, he didn't even give him a glance.
In the past, Zhao Jianding would have scolded the Shen family's children for being so ill-mannered, but now, he only wanted to go home quickly and tell his daughter not to have conflicts with Fu Baoer again.
Their Zhao family can't afford to offend the Shen family, which is like a big Buddha!
When he hurried home, his daughter Zhao Lingrou was trying on a newly made skirt at home. When she heard her father's instructions, Zhao Lingrou not only did not take it to heart, but also did not take it seriously. "Dad, now that you say that, I know. It turns out that Fu Baoer's aunt married that Minister Shen. Tsk, with such a small in-law relationship, she has the nerve to live with him and eat and drink for free."
But no one expected that Shen Suizhi was actually the young master of the Shen family. You know, in the capital, the Shen family is also very popular. If they just wait for that person to be promoted, the Shen family will soar to the sky.
Zhao Lingrou felt that she was only three-tenths interested in Shen Suizhi originally, but now she liked him seventy-eight points. She was so much better than Fu Baoer and should be more suitable to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Zhao Jian had no way to deal with his daughter. He was afraid that she would have a relapse if he said a few harsh words to her, so he had to ask his wife to persuade Zhao Lingrou more. But this time, the mother and daughter had surprisingly the same idea. His daughter was not a child anymore, and being able to date Shen Suizhi would not only solve Zhao Jian's big problem, but also give her a good home. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Zhao Lingrou thought of Shen Sui's graceful demeanor, and a blush crept up her cheeks, making her look even better. Who wouldn't like such a gentle, handsome boy with a good family background?
