"There's a food shortage in the market right now, Secretary Song. You can take advantage of the meal to check out the market situation. It's a win-win situation."
“…Alright.” Secretary Song put down her teacup.
He discovered that someone could talk even more nonsense than him!
Upon receiving Secretary Song's agreement, Chairman Sun's eyes lit up with a smile. It seemed Su's side was indeed the only one capable of handling this. He quickly urged Su Yu to take Secretary Song out for dinner, ensuring she was well-treated and given a proper briefing.
The factory had originally planned to have it delivered by jeep, but Secretary Song stuck to her principles and refused to use public resources for private purposes. She then pulled out her bicycle, which was parked at the entrance.
Su Yu finally felt relieved as she sat on the back of the bicycle.
Although he'll have to keep flattering her later, having someone act as his driver for now is a good deal.
Su Yu chose the Oriental Hotel.
Because they left early, there weren't many people in the restaurant when they arrived. Su Yu quickly found a seat, "Secretary Song, please sit down, I'll go order."
Secretary Song said in a serious tone, "I'll go instead. It's not right to let a woman treat us."
Su Yu pushed him to sit in a chair. "No, no, no, this won't do. This is a task assigned to me by the leader. If you try to take it from me, Secretary Song, I won't be able to complete this task. I'll be punished when I get back."
Then I quickly went to the window to order.
The waiter at the window recognized her and greeted her warmly when he saw her and Secretary Song arrive, saying, "Comrade, you and Secretary Song are here for dinner?"
Su Yu said calmly, "Yeah, I just got off work, so I came over for a get-together. By the way, do you have any Fuqiang noodles?"
"Secretary Song is here, so we absolutely have to have it. Our Secretary Zhu has been saving it for us."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Alright, the usual rules, let's serve the dishes first."
After ordering, Su Yu immediately returned to the table. Secretary Song sat upright, looking serious. "Comrade Su, you're too kind. To be honest, I rarely eat out. I haven't gone out with Zhou Gao and the others many times either. It's always to discuss business. After all, you know, as cadres, we must set an example."
Su Yu nodded, "Secretary Song, your conduct is impeccable. You truly deserve to be called a role model among cadres. I have always admired your reputation."
Secretary Song raised an eyebrow. "Whose advice are you listening to, Zhou's, Gao's, Zhu's, or Liu's?"
Su Yu counted on her fingers and said, "I've heard from quite a few people, but my memory isn't good, so I can't remember them all. The only one I remember is Secretary Song's name."
"..."
Su Yu tapped her head. "Look at me, I'm so busy I've forgotten the important thing. Secretary Song, the specific plan for the staff housing in our factory is actually not comprehensive. It's just a general overview. There are many details to consider. As they say, details determine success or failure. There are many intricacies involved."
Secretary Song immediately sat up straight. "Comrade Su, please speak."
"Take our cost budget as an example. We charge eighteen yuan per square meter. How is this cost calculated, and how are we controlled? There are many intricacies involved..."
All of these things were decided by Su Yu, and now she's talking about them at length.
From cost control to quality supervision and project management...
Once the food was on the table, Su Yu stopped talking and said to Secretary Song, who had been listening in a daze, "Secretary Song, let's eat. We'll continue talking after we finish. I heard you love braised fish the most, and I've been remembering that. I ordered it especially for you, so please eat it."
Secretary Song was still absorbed in the knowledge Su Yu had just discussed, and her mind was still processing it. Only after hearing Su Yu's words did she pick up her chopsticks and start eating the fish.
Su Yu noticed that he started eating from the fish's mouth first, which told her that he was a rather particular person.
After taking only one bite, Secretary Song said, "Comrade Su, just now..."
"Come on, eat your food, don't let it get cold." Su Yu didn't give him a chance to speak and used serving chopsticks to put a large piece of fish head on his plate.
"Secretary Song, I love eating fish heads the most. The meat is tender and highly nutritious. Secretary Song, you must be quite young."
Secretary Song munched on a fish head and said, "The New Year will be the 24th."
Su Yu sighed, "I'm almost three years older than you. But we were born around the same time. Thinking back to those war-torn years, it's truly remarkable that we survived to reach the new society. That's why I feel a sense of kinship whenever I see someone my age."
Secretary Song thought back to those days... well, they weren't exactly pleasant.
I couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy to grow up. Comrade Su, it's even more remarkable that you've survived to this day and still understand so much. By the way, you haven't finished speaking yet, let's continue."
Su Yu looked like she suddenly realized something, "Oh, where were we talking about?"
Secretary Song resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "We've come to the issue of differing property rights."
"Oh, right, that brings us to that. Secretary Song, back in our day, we never would have dared to imagine owning such a nice house. Forget about property rights, we'd be thrilled just to be renting one."
Secretary Song: "..." The topic has gone off-topic again.
Su Yu sighed, "Secretary Song, really, I'm so excited. I've heard that shoe factories and garment factories want to follow our example, but they don't dare to act. Secretary Song, how can you do this? The workers are living in houses, what are they hesitating about? Will the city leaders be unhappy? Secretary Song, will the city leaders not approve of our house construction project?"
Secretary Song was about to speak when he suddenly paused, then smiled and said, "The city leaders did indeed hold a meeting about this matter."
Su Yu's ears perked up.
"However, given my position, it's not like I can be informed about every decision. So, Comrade Su, I really don't know the answer to this question."
"..." Su Yu stuffed a dumpling into her mouth and swallowed it in big gulps. Then she said decisively, "Secretary Song, I think that your presence here today to attend the groundbreaking ceremony shows that the leadership supports us and cares about us."
Secretary Song smiled without saying a word. You guess.
Su Yu smiled knowingly, "Secretary Song, your silence means you agree. I knew it; the city leaders care about our units. Even if we're unwanted, someone else will still care, won't they?"
Secretary Song: "..."
Before they knew it, they were chatting away, and the dishes and rice were all gone. For the first time, Secretary Song found eating so tasteless. She had no idea what she was eating; she was just absorbed in the conversation.
The key point is that it's not finished yet!
