"Oh, Mr. Wang, what are your thoughts? Tell me about them."
Upon hearing Wang Xiuhong say this, Xiao Weiguo's spirits lifted.
"That's right, I know the factory manager of the kiln. His name is Gao Shaoxiong. He is the brother-in-law of Huang Tao, the former county magistrate of Shang County."
"The fact that the brickyard's business has remained so good is not only due to Gao Shaoxiong's personal abilities, but also because of his brother-in-law, who is now the Minister of Commerce of the Municipal Party Committee."
"If you want to take over the kiln, Huang Tao is the first person you have to get on board."
Xiao Weiguo nodded. Although Wang Xiuhong's words made a lot of sense, a problem arose.
This Minister Huang has absolutely no connection to him, so how could he possibly handle it?
"Mr. Wang, do you have a way to handle him?"
Wang Xiuhong smiled and said, "I don't have that ability. You'll have to handle this yourself."
"I?"
Xiao Weiguo pointed to his own nose, somewhat surprised.
"I have no relation to him and have never even met him. How can I win him over? Should I just bribe him?"
"Ha, money can't solve this kind of thing. You're a complete stranger. Even if you offered money to them, would they dare to accept it?"
"So how should I approach him?"
He was even more confused by what Wang Xiuhong said.
"As far as I know, Minister Huang Tao came down from the province to gain experience. Back then, he was the secretary of the top leader of the province. The reason he was able to rise so quickly was because he gained the appreciation of that top leader of the province."
Wang Xiuhong paused, and Xiao Weiguo remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
"And the top official in the province is named Feng Guodong, who is also the landlord of the courtyard you are in now."
Xiao Weiguo slammed his hand on the table, suddenly realizing what was happening.
After all this time, the connection turns out to be here.
But then he fell into distress again.
Although Feng Guodong was indeed his landlord, he was now a very influential figure, and he couldn't possibly have a word with him.
Just because I rented his house doesn't mean he'll do anything about such a small thing, right?
He's simply not qualified, okay? Xiao Weiguo isn't the kind of person who doesn't know his place. He knows what propriety is.
At this moment, Wang Xiuhong stood up.
"Chairman, this is all I can do to help you. As for what to do next, you'll have to figure it out yourself. I have no connection with such important figures."
After saying that, she stood up and left the office, leaving all the problems to Xiao Weiguo alone.
Xiao Weiguo lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he suddenly thought of someone.
Feng Wanlin, Feng Guodong's youngest daughter.
The two met when they were discussing renting a house at a chemical company, and they got along quite well.
Feng Wanlin is decisive and straightforward; starting with her might turn things around.
He searched through the files and found the phone number that Feng Wanlin had given him.
This number is from Beijing. I wonder how that beautiful lady is doing now.
I dialed the number using the office phone.
After a few busy tones, someone answered the phone.
"Hello, who is it?"
Judging from the voice, it was a middle-aged woman. Xiao Weiguo guessed that this must be Feng Wanlin's mother.
"Hello, I'm Zhuang Wanlin's friend. Is she here?"
"Wanlin's friend?"
The other person was clearly taken aback for a moment. Then they continued speaking.
"Wanlin is no longer in the capital. She is now in Jiaonan City. If you need anything, I can give you her phone number there."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I need to talk to her about something. Could you please give me her phone number?"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Weiguo slumped onto the table, not immediately making a call back.
Jiaonan is the name of the capital city of their province.
Feng Wanlin's whole family was in the capital, so why did she run back alone?
However, these are not things he should be concerned about. He asked for help, and he has no right to interfere with what others do.
Using the phone number he had just written down, he called the provincial capital.
"Hello. Jiaonan Chemical Research Institute, who is this?"
A clear voice came from the phone. Xiao Weiguo recognized it as Feng Wanlin.
"Hey, Sister Lin, hello, this is Xiao Weiguo, the one who rented your house, do you remember me?"
"Haha, little brother, it's you! Of course I remember you."
Feng Wanlin spoke as frankly as ever.
Hearing that the other party had not forgotten him, Xiao Weiguo relaxed a little.
"Sister Lin, why didn't you stay in Beijing? Why did you come back again? I've been looking for you everywhere."
There was no response on the phone for a while, clearly indicating that Feng Wanlin did not want to answer the question.
"Heh, we'll talk about that later. Little brother, what do you want from me?"
"It's like this, Sister Lin, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. Would it be convenient for us to meet sometime?"
You can't just ask someone for help based on words alone, unless you have a deep relationship with them; they have no obligation to help you.
Xiao Weiguo thought he should at least treat the other person to a meal and explain the matter in person, whether it worked out or not, he should at least show his attitude.
“Okay, come to the provincial capital and call this number during working hours anytime.”
Feng Wanlin didn't ask what it was about and readily agreed.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Lin. I'll head to the provincial capital first thing tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Shangxian County is more than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital. Xiao Weiguo plans to set off early tomorrow morning, and once he arrives in the provincial capital, he will invite Feng Wanlin to lunch, tell her about the matter, and see if she has any way to get him in touch with Huang Tao, the Minister of Commerce of the city.
