Xu Xiangyang remained calm upon hearing his words. "It's great that production has increased now. In the future, we will definitely have enough food to eat and plenty of reserves."
The others agreed with him, saying that having existing stock is what everyone desires.
No matter what your status is, you have to fill your stomach first, right?
Xiao Zhenyu gave Xu Xiangyang a deep look, then remained silent.
The meeting began quickly, and Liao Shizhang praised Xu Xiangyang during the mid-year meeting.
After all, it's rare to find a factory that can become profitable so quickly.
It's quite remarkable that they've turned a profit so quickly.
After the meeting ended, Liao Shizhang gestured for him to wait a moment, then prepared to have a talk with him.
Xu Xiangyang followed him to the office, probably to ask about the factory's plans for the second half of the year.
Liao Shichang sat opposite him, and his secretary poured him tea.
"Xiao Xu, how have you been lately? I heard you're often traveling for work. You must be working hard for the factory." He said with a smile.
Regardless, Xu Xiangyang was someone he recommended. No one wanted the factory to prosper more than him; it was a matter of good judgment in choosing people.
And he did not disappoint his own expectations; he did a really good job.
Xu Xiangyang, seeing that he didn't mean anything by it, thought he had done something to attract attention.
He smiled and nodded, "It's alright. There have been a lot of issues with the fabric lately, but we can resolve them all, and production won't be delayed."
Liao Shichang was very satisfied. The first garment factory in the new city has started to show a good momentum, and it will definitely get better and better in the future.
The two chatted for a while, mostly about future prospects.
It must be said that Liao Shichang has a good eye; he can tell from the development of events that these storms are about to pass.
"I estimate it will be over in three to five years," he said confidently.
Xu Xiangyang knew that it was impossible in three or five years; it would take seven years.
Moreover, it would take seven years to gradually recover, and the real policy liberalization would not come until 1980.
That's quite a long time.
But what Xu Xiangyang needs most right now is time. How can he accumulate assets without time?
After leaving Liao Shichang's office, he went downstairs to drive home first before heading to the factory.
He hasn't had time to go home since his last business trip, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as he was about to get into the car, he saw Xiao Zhenyu walking towards him.
Xu Xiangyang wondered, why is this person always staring at me? Does he have nothing better to do all day?
But in the end, they didn't do anything wrong; they just kept asking questions, but they didn't gossip behind each other's backs.
"Director Xiao hasn't left yet?" he greeted first.
Xiao Zhenyu nodded and replied, "I'm waiting for Director Xu."
That's really straightforward; they said their purpose directly.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time and then said, "Director Xiao, what do you want to say? I have a meeting at the factory this afternoon."
The factory's employee meals need to be improved recently, so he needs to go back and discuss it with everyone.
After all, the work depends entirely on the employees. If they don't eat well, the work progress will be slowed down.
"It's nothing much, just hoping that Director Xu will be more careful, someone's watching you," Xiao Zhenyu said meaningfully, then smiled and left.
The man's forced smile and chilling words gave Xu Xiangyang goosebumps even on this hot day.
But is someone watching him?
That's something to note.
However, Xu Xiangyang believed that the one watching him was none other than Xiao Zhenyu himself.
What did he mean by saying that? Was he threatening him?
After thinking about it, he realized that this was still possible, but he wasn't afraid.
But on second thought, it would indeed be better to be more cautious.
Although he has not been discovered by anyone yet, as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
I went home first, had lunch with my family, and chatted for a while.
It was past 1 a.m. when I finally got back to the factory.
After agreeing on a meeting time, Xu Xiangyang first checked how well the orders were being received.
Cai Min handed him the notebook and then stood there without moving.
Xu Xiangyang looked down and thought, "Not bad. I've already received a big order for 500 pieces right at the beginning."
And you know what? Things have been getting better and better lately. We're getting big orders, and small orders are coming in one after another.
"Okay, you can go back first. I'll go to a meeting later." He handed the things to Cai Mingang and told him to go back first.
Cai Min took it but didn't move; he just stood there.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Secretary Cai, is there anything else?"
Secretary Cai's competence during this period has saved him a lot of trouble; that's why you have to find a professional when you need someone.
Cai Mingang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director Xu, Comrade Liang Wenfang has been in the administrative office every day, which is a serious disturbance to me and is already affecting my work."
"So, I'd like to ask if I could work in an empty office?"
He's been really annoyed lately.
At first, Liang Wenfang wanted to be with him, but he felt that he needed to think about it carefully, after all, the messy things that had happened before made him very disgusted.
But he was still willing, so he wanted to think about it carefully.
Within two days, seeing that he didn't seem to care, Liang Wenfang started causing trouble and disrupting his work.
He went to other leaders about this matter, but without concrete evidence, they couldn't do anything about it.
Therefore, he could only come to find Xu Xiangyang, hoping to get away from Liang Wenfang.
Xu Xiangyang was somewhat surprised, not expecting this person to be so patient.
This situation probably started after Liang Wenfang was transferred.
But this person never mentioned it even once; they're incredibly patient.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Secretary Cai, how about this, I was originally planning to use the space next door as my dormitory, but you can use it as your office space for now."
"The house isn't very big, but if you're okay with it, you can come anytime."
The room was originally only big enough to fit a single bed and some toiletries.
He didn't want to live there, but the other people insisted on cleaning it up for him.
I had no choice but to agree.
That room isn't nearly as spacious as this one. Get up, tidy up, and you're ready for work.
Cai Mingang didn't think Xu Xiangyang would agree; he just said it as a trial.
I was even happier when they actually agreed this time.
However, he was still unwilling to take over someone else's resting place.
"Director Xu, forget it, I'll just stay in the warehouse." He waved his hand and refused.
But Xu Xiangyang said, "Do you expect me to go to the warehouse every time I need to find you? That's so far! You're next door, you'll hear me if I call out."
That's exactly right. You can't just run a separate phone line and install an extension for him, can you?
There are only a few machine units in the factory, and they're not enough.
Cai Mingang still felt embarrassed, but he didn't want to face Liang Wenfang, nor did he want Xu Xiangyang to run errands for him.
Okay, then I'll agree.
"Thank you, Director Xu." He was truly grateful!
