In particular, Qiao Wanyue wanted to buy the machines as soon as possible. The food factory had been working on these machines for a year before they were shipped back to China. It was almost impossible for Qiao Wanyue to just ask to buy the machines.
Her old comrade-in-arms wanted to persuade her to give up.
Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo exchanged a glance.
Qiao Wanyue thought for a moment, "Uncle Cui, could you arrange for us to meet with Secretary Qu?"
Meeting was easy.
But Qiao Wanyue actually suggested visiting the provincial food factory.
Old Cui could only say he'd give it a try.
Will the people at the food factory give this old guy any face?
It's hard to say.
Qiao Wanyue wasn't in a hurry. She simply took out a piece of paper and asked him to pass it on to Secretary Qu, explaining that she was representing Lin County to learn from the food factory. She also took out a letter of introduction from the county leaders.
Old Cui twitched his lips.
They came prepared.
Why did she need his introduction? Couldn't she just go directly to the food factory with the letter of introduction?
Qiao Wanyue was clearly thinking more deeply. The vehicle that picked them up and brought them to the guesthouse was a military vehicle, suggesting that Uncle Cui's status in the provincial capital was likely quite high.
If she goes there with a letter of introduction, then it means she's visiting a unit from the province.
I can't even get a chance to see Secretary Qu.
If he introduces them, the Party Secretary of Naqu will meet with them out of respect for Uncle Cui.
Old Cui only said he'd give it a try.
The next day at noon, Lao Cui called and told them to get ready to go to the food factory at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Old Cui accompanied them this time.
They met Lao Cui at the provincial food factory in his car. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and standing next to him was a man also wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, except that the man had less hair.
Qiao Wanyue then realized that Lao Cui, the ordinary comrade-in-arms that Wei Kangjian mentioned, was the director of the Provincial Office in charge of health and safety.
"Secretary Qu, this is Qiao Wanyue, director of the Development Department of Dahe Commune in Lin County, and this is Guo Yushu, secretary of Xiaohe Village in Dahe Commune," Old Cui introduced the two to Secretary Qu.
Secretary Qu glanced at Qiao Wanyue.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The girl looks to be under eighteen. How could she have risen to the position of commune director in one fell swoop? Could she have used some improper means?
Qiao Wanyue reached out her hand, but Secretary Qu gave her a disdainful look.
He bypassed her and shook hands with Secretary Guo.
An awkward expression flashed across Old Cui's face, and he was about to speak up to remind him.
Secretary Guo took a step back and said with a smile, "Secretary Qu, our director is shaking hands with you."
Secretary Qu snorted, "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a director, but not some illegitimate women's director. My time is precious, and I don't have time to play house with so-called young girls."
"Director Cui, you too, what kind of background does this person have that makes you make a special trip for him?"
Old Cui looked very unwell.
Secretary Qu is slapping him in the face.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Qiao Wanyue interrupted Director Cui, "Please trouble Secretary Qu to take us there."
Secretary Qu looked disgusted. Hadn't his words persuaded her to leave?
I still need to go to the factory; I don't know if Mao Changquan is there.
Secretary Qu didn't want to waste time. He turned his head and saw Director Cui's gloomy face, so he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"I only have ten minutes. You must leave the food factory in ten minutes." Secretary Qu stated this explicitly.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "Okay."
Secretary Qu, expressionless, led the way to the front.
Director Cui was a little embarrassed, but Secretary Qu was only giving him ten minutes because of him.
Otherwise, he could have beaten Qiao Wanyue out with a big stick.
