Chapter 218 Emergency Return
Soldiers defend their country and protect this land with their lives. Textile workers should use the most exquisite skills to weave the warmest protection for them!
These are not just socks, but also the textile workers' sincere hearts and deep love for the soldiers.
That night, Jiang Haitang began to think about how to improve the existing socks in order to produce the best socks.
Kang Xiaoxia, who lived in the same room with her, couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw Jiang Haitang trying so hard.
"Sister Haitang, you've just gotten better, so you can't work yourself up like this. Zhao Kai even told me today to make sure you get a good night's rest."
Jiang Haitang, who was forced to close the notebook by Kang Xiaoxia, could only go to bed.
On the last day of the Canton Fair, Long Province held a summary meeting as usual.
The most glorious delegations at the meeting were the machinery factories and textile factories.
Needless to say, the textile factory has achieved remarkable results.
At the machinery factory, Zheng Kaihe beamed as he announced that they had signed orders for 150 automatic looms, with other machinery also receiving significant sales. The factory had earned a total of $9.4 million in foreign exchange, its best performance since its founding!
In fact, Zheng Kaihe still felt a little regretful. A little more and it would have reached tens of millions of dollars, which is a world of difference compared to more than nine million!
But there will be a chance next time.
Perhaps, by this year's Autumn Canton Fair, the machinery factory's transaction volume will reach tens of millions of dollars.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable, but now Zheng Kaihe feels that this is something to look forward to.
Thinking of this, Zheng Kaihe had to praise Jiang Haitang and praise her highly.
Yan Peiwen sat in the corner with a gloomy face.
She really couldn't accept it. The directors of the two factories both praised Jiang Haitang at the summary meeting. Even the leader of the Long Province delegation praised Jiang Haitang continuously.
It seems that without Jiang Haitang, it would be impossible to achieve these results.
It is obvious that it is because of the high quality of the factory's production and everyone's joint efforts that we have achieved so many results. Why should Jiang Haitang take all the credit?
"Jiang Haitang, don't think you've won." Yan Peiwen gritted his teeth and said, "You're just a country girl, what right do you have to steal my limelight? My father won't let you go!"
Jiang Haitang was far away from Yan Peiwen, who had been benched, so naturally she couldn't hear what Yan Peiwen said.
But she felt a cold breath. She looked around and felt that this breath came from the direction of Yan Peiwen.
She shook her head helplessly. Yan Peiwen was holding a grudge against her, but if no one envied her, it meant she was mediocre. If someone envied her, it at least proved her ability.
The joy of the remarkable achievement came to an abrupt end when Jiang Haitang returned to the guesthouse.
Vice Minister Zhou arranged for someone to tell her that there was a problem at the textile factory and asked her to hurry back to the factory.
"But it's already this late, and I can't buy train tickets." Zhao Kai didn't know what had happened, but he was very worried.
They booked the tickets for the day after tomorrow. The Canton Fair ends today, and they still need to do some finishing work tomorrow.
"Vice Minister Zhou happens to be returning tonight. I've already booked a ticket for you. You can take the midnight train with him."
Jiang Haitang didn't expect that Vice Minister Zhou had even thought of this.
But since Vice Minister Zhou had thought so carefully, Jiang Haitang felt even more uneasy. It must be no small matter if Vice Minister Zhou attached so much importance to it.
Jiang Haitang didn't have time to think about this matter carefully now. She needed to hurry up and pack her luggage and rush to the train station.
"Comrade Jiang Haitang, please pack your luggage. A car will come to pick you up and take you to the train station in half an hour."
The other party spoke as if he knew what Jiang Haitang was thinking.
Jiang Haitang felt much more relieved and immediately went upstairs to pack her luggage.
Because of the sudden situation, everyone was in a bad mood.
While helping Jiang Haitang pack her things, Han Zhiqiu said, "We're not around this time, so be careful on the road alone."
"We still have Vice Minister Zhou. It's okay."
"It's such a long journey, and we have to change trains along the way. I don't know if Vice Minister Zhou is going back to Beijing or to the northwest like you."
Jiang Haitang was silent for a moment. It was indeed possible that she and Vice Minister Zhou might part ways halfway.
It’s actually not impossible to walk the rest of the way alone. Jiang Haitang is not the kind of delicate person who can’t withstand any storm.
"It's okay, I'm very capable. Even if I'm alone, I'll be able to return safely."
Jiang Haitang had already packed her luggage. Zhao Kai, Kang Xiaoxia and Han Zhiqiu sent Jiang Haitang to the gate to wait for the car. Zheng Kaihe hurried over with a net bag in his hand.
"It's too late. I searched for a long time and only found this little food. Mr. Jiang, take it with you on the road."
When Kang Xiaoxia and the others heard what Zheng Kaihe said, they realized that they had never thought of this.
"Thank you, Director Zheng."
Jiang Haitang had actually thought about eating before, but she didn't have time to prepare, so she could only eat the food on the train after getting on. If you're not picky, it's actually okay.
At this time, a car slowly stopped in front of Jiang Haitang, and in the car was the young man who had notified Jiang Haitang before.
"Comrade Jiang Haitang, we can set off now."
Zhao Kai immediately said, "I'll take Haitang to the station and come back after she gets on the bus."
"Deputy Director Zhao, you've been busy for so many days, take a break. I'll leave Haitang to you. Don't worry, I can't leave her behind."
The car window slowly rolled down, and it was Vice Minister Zhou sitting in the back seat.
When Zhao Kai saw Vice Minister Zhou, he was completely relieved.
"Thank you for your hard work. Comrade Jiang Haitang is a young woman and has never traveled far alone, so we were a little worried."
"I understand, Comrade Haitang, hurry up and get on the bus. If you're late, you'll miss the train and it will be troublesome."
Jiang Haitang got in from another door of the car, sat in the back with Vice Minister Zhou, and waved goodbye to everyone.
The car drove towards the train station in the night. Jiang Haitang looked out the window at the distant lights of Guangzhou city, her fingers unconsciously stroking the notebook in her luggage bag.
Vice Minister Zhou took a look and asked, "If you're worried, why don't you ask?"
Jiang Haitang's face was still filled with worry, but her tone was very steady as she said, "If you could tell me now, you would definitely tell me directly. If you didn't tell me, it means you can't tell me now."
Vice Minister Zhou, still holding a document in his hand, said with a smile, "You are a calm and composed person. No wonder the Lu family is full of praise for you."
Jiang Haitang did not reply, but just looked at Vice Minister Zhou quietly.
"There's a problem with your factory's imported drafting machine from Country Y. They say the bearings have suddenly seized, and the entire production line has stopped." Vice Minister Zhou took off his glasses and rubbed his brow. "The ministry just received a telegram saying Country Y is unwilling to arrange for experts to come and repair it."
Jiang Haitang's heart tightened. This set of equipment was introduced a few years ago. If there was any problem, it would seriously affect the production of the factory, especially when so many foreign trade orders were signed this time.
The key to the transformation of Jincheng Textile Factory was that Lu Liangchen issued three military orders in the ministry just to strive for foreign exchange indicators.
"Do you know the specific reason?" Jiang Haitang asked after biting her lip and thinking for a while.
"After communicating with them, their experts insisted that our workers had misoperated the machine, so they would not arrange for anyone to come and repair it."
Jiang Haitang shook her head. "That's impossible. Our factory employees have all undergone rigorous training. There must be other problems."
Vice Minister Zhou sneered, "It's just an excuse. Our country is weak and vulnerable, so they naturally want to use this to blackmail us into giving them more benefits."
The carriage suddenly became quiet.
At this time, the car had arrived at the train station.
"Let's get in the car now and talk about it in the car."
Vice Minister Zhou's expression was not very good. Thinking about being threatened by so-called foreign experts again and again, he felt very bad.
The group boarded the train smoothly. Because of Vice Minister Zhou, they bought sleeper tickets this time.
The train swayed slowly towards the night. Jiang Haitang and Vice Minister Zhou analyzed the situation before falling into a deep sleep.
The train sped north in the dark night.
Jiang Haitang saw a book about the structure of a drawing machine in his dream. Jiang Haitang studied the contents of the book carefully, and rehearsed the possible problems carefully to find out where the problems were most likely to occur.
When she woke up, it was already daybreak.
Vice Minister Zhou, who was in the lower bunk opposite, had already gotten up.
Jiang Haitang felt a little embarrassed when she saw that her leaders had already gotten up while she had just woken up.
Seeing Jiang Haitang wake up, he smiled and said, "You've worked hard during this period. When you return, you will have another tough battle to fight."
Jiang Haitang got out of bed quickly and said, "Deputy Minister Zhou, I carefully reviewed everything last night and have identified some key areas where problems may arise. I'll record them in detail later. Perhaps this will be helpful for the next step."
Deputy Minister Zhou never expected that Jiang Haitang was lying on the train, still thinking about work problems.
Regardless of whether the idea was correct before seeing the specific situation, this spirit made Vice Minister Zhou appreciate Jiang Haitang even more.
"Comrade Haitang, although you are still young, you can't work so hard. The great man said that health is the capital of revolution. No matter what time, taking good care of your body is the most important thing."
"Thank you, Vice Minister Zhou. I will take good care of my body and will never let my health hinder my work." Jiang Haitang promised firmly.
"You are indeed a good comrade. No wonder the two factories would rather fight for you than anyone else. You are indeed worthy." Deputy Minister Zhou praised him generously.
When he first heard that Jiang Haitang was receiving salaries from two factories at the same time, he was actually a little dissatisfied.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Haitang's subsequent performance made her feel that it was completely fine for Jiang Haitang to receive two salaries. In fact, the total responsibility she bore alone far exceeded what two people should bear.
