Zhang Qizhi then said to his office staff, "I'm not very familiar with central Shandong. So starting tomorrow, I'll go down there to conduct research and gain a comprehensive understanding of various industries, agricultural production, and people's living standards in central Shandong. Tomorrow, our first stop will be rice. The other businesses and itinerary will be decided by your office."
In the afternoon, the Shandong Provincial Committee Office called Xie Yingying again, saying that Zhang Shu was going to inspect rice fields tomorrow and asked her to make some preparations, such as keeping the area clean, hanging a banner at the main gate, and arranging a few guides, etc.
Although Xing Baohua wasn't mentioned, the implication was clear: Zhang Shu had already gone there, so wouldn't the big boss like him have to stay by his side and accompany him?
Xie Yingying relayed the message to Xing Baohua, who then informed Factory Director Li, who was an expert in reception work and knew how to handle it.
Tell the airport to prepare the plane for tomorrow morning's flight to Japan. Ugh! I'm just avoiding you.
When Zhang Qizhi arrived at the rice factory, he was received by Director Li, who held many positions and had a grand demeanor, especially as the chairman of the labor union, representing the working class.

Old Li, the factory manager, smiled awkwardly and replied, "Director Xing's schedule was arranged in advance. There's an important business deal that needs to be discussed today, and the date was set long ago."
The secretary was still blunt, saying, "He doesn't understand any manners at all. What kind of big deal could make him give up accompanying Zhang Shu?"
“I heard from my secretary that it’s a deal worth either six billion or five billion US dollars. As you know, our factory is also a foreign exchange earning enterprise, so we can’t afford to miss the opportunity to earn foreign exchange.”
After hearing Old Li's explanation, the people who accompanied Zhang Qizhi fell silent.
The secretary wanted to say a few more words, but Zhang Qizhi stopped her: "Xiao Sun, just keep a close eye on things. Today, only bring your ears and eyes. Keep anything you shouldn't say to yourself!"
