Jiang Wanwan had only asked casually, and then she left.
She hadn't received any news, so it couldn't be anyone important coming, and there was no need for her to show up.
When Xiao Zhang entered the office, he saw the Gu family enjoying a harmonious scene.
He immediately sensed that Gu Shi must be in a good mood, so he wasn't so nervous when he spoke.
"Boss, a few leaders from the city are coming to inspect our newly expanded brick factory."
Gu Shi was indeed in a good mood. Xiao Zhang had figured it out: as long as Lin Qingyu was there, Gu Shi was exceptionally easy to talk to.
"I understand. Go and get ready, I'll be right there."
After receiving the instructions, Xiao Zhang left the office to get busy.
Gu Shi also got up to leave.
"You and Xiao Bei play here. I won't be coming over later. We'll talk in the conference room. There's plenty of food and entertainment here. It's still quite hot outside, so don't go out!"
After giving Lin Qingyu his instructions, Gu Shicai hurriedly grabbed the documents and left.
Lin Qingyu didn't even have time to give him any instructions; she could only hold Gu Jue and watch Gu Shi's departing figure through the window.
It's not even September yet, and the weather isn't that hot.
Most importantly, Gu Jue's birthday is coming soon; she will be one year old soon!
Lin Qingyu put Gu Jue down and led her by the hand to the sofa.
"Little Bei, Mommy will lead you there. Don't be afraid. Mommy is holding your hand. Let's go!"
Although Gu Jue can walk, he is timid and dares not walk by himself. He has to hold someone's hand to go anywhere.
Lin Qingyu wasn't in a hurry. Children will learn to walk eventually. It's not like they can't walk. It's okay if it takes a little longer.
It has to be said that she has a particularly good mindset. Most children at this age can already take their own steps.
If it were the old Li Xiuhua, she would definitely be anxious and would try some folk remedy to cure it.
Now that Li Xiuhua's ideological awareness has improved a lot, Lin Qingyu feels much more relaxed. If Li Xiuhua still had that old-fashioned mindset, she would have to persuade her.
The two, one big and one small, were having a great time playing in the office, while Gu Shi wasn't idle either.
He started the examination almost immediately; these days, examinations are no joke.
If the higher-ups come to inspect, and it's deemed unqualified, then it's deemed unqualified, and they won't let it drive.
Bribery won't work. The most important thing is that the leaders of Xinshi City are now paying close attention to this issue.
If bribery or embezzlement is uncovered, the person is finished immediately.
They didn't even have a chance to correct their mistakes, which is why today's private enterprises are truly honest and straightforward, without any deception or fraud.
Gu Shi walked through the newly expanded factory, looking at each machine and personally inspecting them to confirm that there were no problems.
Then we visited the brick kiln, checked out the fire-starting area, and found no safety issues.
Gu Shi was relieved to see that all the experienced workers in each position were dedicated and conscientious.
He then walked to the main entrance and waited for the leader to arrive in the exhibition hall inside.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted until noon.
As the clock struck twelve, Gu Shi couldn't wait any longer, so he gave a brief explanation and left.
He rushed back to his office to get food for Lin Qingyu and her daughter, worried that the child and mother might go hungry!
Lin Qingyu and Gu Jue were still in the office. Since it was inconvenient for her to go get food, she simply waited for someone to come over.
She didn't expect Gu Shi to come back in person, already serving her food.
"Why are you back? Don't you need to accompany the leaders who came to inspect?"
"The boss hasn't arrived yet, so I've already gotten food for you two. You can eat first, don't worry about cleaning up!"
After giving a brief explanation, Gu Shi turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Qingyu anxiously called out to him, "You haven't eaten yet! Just grab something quick, otherwise you'll have gone hungry for nothing if they can't come anytime soon!"
Helpless, Gu Shi could only slurp down less than half of his meal, the whole process taking only six or seven minutes.
Lin Qingyu wanted to say something, but there was nothing she could do; Gu Shi's job meant he couldn't eat properly.
When Gu Shi returned to the front hall, the person still hadn't arrived, so he told the waiting employees to go eat while he waited there.
After waiting for another half hour, no one came.
But then he saw Xiao Zhang running over, panting heavily. He was out of breath.
"Boss, you, you'd better hurry over to the brick kiln! The leaders have already inspected it!"
Gu Shi's heart skipped a beat; he had no idea how these people had gotten in.
The brick factory is a restricted area; ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
Without thinking too much, Gu Shi took off running over.
He should have been busy with the steel mill, but the brick factory has been having problems lately, so he's been working there instead.
I wonder when this hectic, spinning-top-like life will ever end!
When Gu Shi ran to the brick kiln, he saw several people standing there, bowing their heads and asking the old master brick maker questions.
No one knows what the old master said, but the leaders burst into laughter.
They didn't seem dissatisfied, so it's likely that all of them passed.
Gu Shi had been running for so long that his breathing had only quickened slightly, while Xiao Zhang couldn't see anyone at all.
After the leader finished asking questions and had understood the important issues, he turned to look at Gu Shi.
"Young talent, Factory Director Gu is doing a great job!"
"You're joking, boss. It's all thanks to the employees!"
The leaders burst into laughter, saying that Gu Shi was too modest!
Gu Shi stepped forward and shook hands with each of the leaders.
One of them looked somewhat familiar, but I didn't have a specific impression of him.
"I think Xiao Gu's brick factory is doing just as well as ours. It has a bright future, so keep up the good work!"
Since the leader had spoken, Gu Shi had no choice but to comply and speak in accordance with the leader's wishes.
Unexpectedly, the leader started speaking in the next sentence.
"But even if the brick factory is doing well, it should actively respond to the city's policies!"
There were three leaders and three secretaries in total. The leader who was speaking seemed quite approachable.
"We recently issued a new document regarding the management of private enterprises. I imagine Director Gu hasn't had time to read it, has he?"
Gu Shi didn't lack time; he simply didn't know such a document existed.
"Don't make things difficult for them. It was only issued yesterday, and the document probably hasn't even reached Director Gu yet."
The one who's speaking now is an old man who looks very unapproachable.
The usually easy-going old man fell silent, while a leader with no expression stood beside him.
He suddenly spoke up: "Gu Shi, the construction of your brick kiln does not comply with the new regulations. Take a good look at the documents after they are issued, and start operating the kiln only after it has been rebuilt!"
After the expressionless leader finished speaking, the other two leaders fell silent.
Gu Shi could only nod in agreement and wave to stop the machine that was in operation.
He felt that this expressionless leader looked familiar.
