Seeing that the door was closed, Cao Yajun raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xu Xiangyang didn't want to spoil the fun and drank a couple of glasses with him.
After several rounds of drinks...
"Secretary Cao, the plenary meeting is tomorrow, so it's best not to drink too much." Although he didn't drink much, he was still afraid that the leaders would find out.
In any case, the current situation is rather special; we're here to work, not for tourism.
If the boss is in a good mood, that's fine, but if they're in a bad mood and use you as a scapegoat, there's nothing anyone can do. How frustrating!
Cao Yajun nodded. He knew what was going on, but he was just in a good mood today, and his alcohol tolerance was more than that.
"If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask me. Don't be shy." He glanced at the person opposite him.
Although Xu Xiangyang is cunning, it is undeniable that he is quite lucky.
Moreover, he himself has some skills; otherwise, even if he became a secretary based solely on his own recommendation, he wouldn't have been given important responsibilities by Liao Shichang.
Of course, it's too early to say whether he'll be promoted or given a more important position. But if he proves capable, he'll be given a share of Liao Shichang's main responsibilities later on.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course. When have I ever been polite? I'll handle what I can myself, and if I can't, then I'll definitely come to you."
The two of them drank a pound of baijiu (Chinese liquor) together, and it was almost time. It was nine o'clock at night, and the lights in the other rooms had already been turned off.
Xu Xiangyang returned to his room with light steps, but as soon as he entered, he felt something was wrong.
He frowned, noticing that the blankets had clearly been folded again.
Other things also seem to have been touched, but it's unclear what's missing.
Xu Xiangyang walked over and opened the suitcase. Inside were just a few clothes and nothing else.
He gritted his teeth. He figured that apart from Zhu Xingu, probably no one else on this floor would rummage through his room.
However, without evidence, he couldn't go to the person's house to look for them, and besides, nothing was missing.
"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath.
Are we just going to suffer in silence like this?
Xu Xiangyang sneered, "The person who will make him suffer has not yet been born!"
This matter certainly can't be left like this, but if I rashly go to their door, I won't have any evidence.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then closed and locked the door, and turned off the lights.
He wasn't going to sleep in this room; he was going straight into the space. He didn't even want to wear his clothes anymore—who knew who had touched him? Who knew if he had any infectious diseases!
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang washed up and went downstairs for breakfast, with Zhang Lianhe still following behind him.
"Did Secretary Xu sleep well last night? I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night." He looked exhausted, but was curious about how Xu Xiangyang could be so energetic.
Xu Xiangyang didn't turn his head and said, "What difference does it make where you sleep? If it's cold, just cover yourself with more blankets. If you don't have blankets, just put your clothes on top of them."
He's still holding a grudge, so he's not in the mood for casual conversation.
Zhang Lianhe said a few more bland words, but Xu Xiangyang, who was in line for food, completely ignored him.
For breakfast, we had corn porridge and steamed buns made from a mixture of corn and water, with a side dish of cold shredded cabbage.
It's supposed to be a cold dish, but it's packed with salt; I guess it's meant to be pickled.
Xu Xiangyang isn't picky about breakfast, so he just eats whatever's available.
As he passed Zhu Xingu with his lunchbox, he glanced at him casually and noticed that the man looked a little guilty.
Sure enough, it was that idiot!
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, and left with his lunchbox.
Back inside, he looked at the security camera in the corner of the wall. It was placed very discreetly, so he wasn't afraid of being found.
I was originally planning to arrange this for someone else, but I never expected to use it myself first.
He took a deep breath and then prepared.
He's ready now, just a moment away, he'll be closing in.
At eight o'clock sharp, everyone gathered in the courtyard. Because there were so many people, the meeting room on the first floor couldn't accommodate them all.
The leaders were all seated when Lu Shuji stepped forward and began speaking over the loudspeaker.
It was nothing more than some encouraging words, and everyone applauded in support.
"We came here to build a better new city. We don't have many factories in our new city, but they are already in use and sufficient. However, in order to contribute to the whole country, we plan to build a few more factories."
"The winery and food factory are already our major factories, so we don't need to consider those. As for the garment factory, our new city only has one textile factory, but no garment factory."
"Although the demand for clothing is not large, we still source our goods from other places. If there were more clothing factories, we could not only solve our own problems, but also export our products."
...
Lu Shuji spoke at length for an hour, and his throat became dry, so Gu Shizhang took his place.
Now it's time to wrap things up and summarize.
Besides building the factory, there's also the issue of roads.
The principle of "building roads is the first step to getting rich" remains a fundamental truth at all times.
The most difficult thing about the new town is the bad roads. Every time I go out, I have to walk to the mountain town before I can get on the main road.
The road over there is much better than this one; at least the surface is smooth.
When it rains, the roads in the new town turn into small ditches.
Actually, this problem should have been solved a long time ago, but we were busy with other things and construction for the first two years, so it was delayed.
Seeing that the resources in the new city were not good, even the provincial governor couldn't stand it anymore.
After listening for a while, Xu Xiangyang felt that these were all true things, for the benefit of the people.
If the road is open, both the front and back can benefit from the road, and at the very least, the new town can develop.
Although this isn't a big city, it's not far from the sea, which will help with import and export in the future.
Of course, we'll talk about that later.
I must say, they are all good leaders who get things done! It's only been 68 years.
It's only because we have the resources and funds that we can do this now; otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to.
The higher-ups also attached great importance to it; otherwise, no one could have gotten it done.
Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, if he does a good job this time, it might pave a smoother road for the future!
After two hours of speaking, everyone was getting a little too tired to stand, but the leader hadn't finished speaking yet, so everyone had to hold on.
Fortunately, the meeting ended soon. Lu Shuji said a few words and then everyone dispersed.
There will be someone to take over the work afterwards, so you don't need to worry about not having any work to do.
Do you think you can just sit around here? What are you thinking!
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock, and the cafeteria staff were already cooking and it was almost time for lunch.
He thought for a moment, then turned around and went back into the house, where he found some of the food he had saved earlier.
I put the beef jerky on the table, along with a can of beef. I heated it up on the stove, opened the lid, and put it on the table.
"Secretary Xu, you even brought canned food with you?" Zhang Lianhe next door is the most pitiful; the smell is the strongest on his side, that aroma…
Absolutely amazing!
