"Actually, Uncle Lou, you don't have to just focus on steel mills. You can also look at knitting factories, textile mills, machinery and electrical plants, thermal power plants, etc. Any factory with a lot of workers will do."
"But what if those leaders disagree?"
“Uncle Lou, I remember you knew a lot of people from various departments when you donated money that year. You can talk to the factory leaders and them as well. The country is still figuring things out as it goes, and the business model you proposed will be a new direction for them.”
Lou's father nodded slowly. The business model that Li Chu told him about was definitely feasible. The next step was to find a way to persuade the factory leaders.
"Uncle Lou, another thing to pay attention to is people. For example, if you contract the steel mill's canteen, you need to calculate in advance how many people you need. Any extra people must be resolved by the factory leaders."
Another issue is wages. The factory will definitely pay the wages, but you can give these people a small monthly allowance. It absolutely cannot be too much; two or three yuan a month at most is enough to avoid protests from other workshop workers. You also need to make sure those who work for you genuinely feel your sincerity. You must strike a good balance…”
She rattled off a whole bunch of things in no time.
Lou's father kept nodding, and there was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Li Chu. Is this really a doctor?
Why is he so knowledgeable and eloquent when talking about doing business?
The other three stared blankly as Li Chu spoke eloquently, while Ding Qiunan's eyes turned into hearts.
Li Chu realized he had been talking too much today, so he coughed twice, stopped talking, picked up his cup, and took two big gulps.
"Xiao Chu, thank you so much! I've learned a lot today!"
Lou's father sincerely thanked him.
"You're too kind, Uncle Lou. Making this happen isn't easy, so please take your time."
After checking the time, Lou's father realized it was getting late, so he took his leave with his daughter and son-in-law.
Before leaving, Lou Xiao'e made an appointment with Ding Qiunan to go shopping together on Sunday, the day after tomorrow.
As for shopping, Ding Qiunan almost never goes unless she really needs to buy something. She prefers to stay at home playing with her dogs rather than go to crowded department stores.
However, she will still go if her best friend makes the appointment.
After seeing the family off, Li Chu had just locked the door when he felt Ding Qiunan jump onto his back, her long legs wrapping around his waist.
"Honey, how amazing you are, you know everything."
"Tch, we've been married for almost twenty years, don't you know how amazing I am?"
Li Chu supported his wife's thighs as they walked towards the central courtyard.
"You're annoying, you know what I mean, don't interrupt."
Ding Qiunan raised her hand and patted him on the back.
"Hehe, since you've praised me for being amazing, shouldn't you reward me with something?"
What do you do when you have a husband who can't satisfy you? I need help urgently!
...
The next day, Saturday, July 21.
After Li Chu took Ding Qiunan to the hospital, he had Xiao Tian drive him to the Academy of Sciences.
At 9:00 AM sharp, the conference commenced, and the eleven newly elected student representatives took to the stage one by one, with Li Chu being the most eye-catching.
His face looks so young.
An hour later, the meeting ended, and Dean Chen of the Medical School called him over from outside the meeting room.
"Xiao Chu, I heard that your two children are planning to apply to medical school this year?"
"Ah, they have that idea. Mr. Chen, you are very well-informed."
What majors are you planning to enroll them in?
"Mr. Chen, you're mistaken. They can enroll in whatever they want to learn; I don't interfere."
"You're not going to do anything?"
"I really don't care, let them do as they please."
"What a father you've been!" Dean Chen chuckled and pointed at him.
"It's nothing, I just heard that both your kids are planning to apply here, just asking. Let's go, I bet you're busy all day."
The two walked out talking, and parted ways at the gate.
After watching Dean Chen ride away on his bicycle, Li Chu finally got on his own bike.
If it weren't for the tireless efforts of Professor Chen and other prominent figures in the education field, who knows when the medical school would have reopened.
These are the people who truly dedicate themselves to the country's education.
The car was stopped by a sentry as soon as it entered the hospital gate.
"Vice Dean Li, Director Ding wants you to go see her first after you return."
? ?
Something must have happened, otherwise Ding Qiunan wouldn't have had the sentry stop the car to notify him.
Li Chu handed the certificate of honor he had just received to Xiao Tian, asking him to put it in the office. Then, he got out of the car at the main entrance and walked towards the outpatient hall.
In the office, Ding Qiunan was extremely busy. Today, the General Logistics Department had a batch of supplies to be transported to the southwest, some of which were processed Chinese medicinal herbs. She had checked the list and was about to go to the station to complete the handover procedures.
Upon seeing Li Chu enter, the other people in the office quickly stood up to greet him.
Ding Qiunan didn't even bother to lift her head and said directly, "Professor Ran just came over looking for you, but you weren't there, so he came to my place."
She paused here, pointed to a spot on the list, and said a few words to the person next to her.
This scene stunned Li Chu. He had never realized before that his wife could multitask.
He didn't say anything, pulled up a chair and sat down, waiting for his wife to finish her work before talking to her.
But what's Professor Ran doing here? Has he already decided to donate a kidney?
Ding Qiunan had finished checking everything and packed her things; she was now ready to go to the station.
"Li Chu, I'm heading to the station right now. To make a long story short, Professor Ran and the others discussed it with the surgery department and decided to donate a kidney to Ye Zi. However, after testing, it turned out that Professor Ran and Qiu Ye's blood types don't match Ye Zi's. His wife, Professor Zhang, does match, but her health condition doesn't allow it. So, after discussing it with their family, they'd like to ask you to help Professor Zhang with his health. That's the situation. If you have time, go and see them. That family has had a tough time."
After saying that, she led her people out, and Li Chu did not stay there any longer.
Has the office sent you a car?
"They've been sent, and they're already here."
Ding Qiunan pointed to the outside of the hall.
"Okay, then you guys go ahead. If you can't make it back for lunch, just eat something outside."
"knew!"
After watching his wife and the others leave, Li Chu began to ponder what she had just said.
Forget it, I'll go and take a look. I don't know what Professor Zhang's health condition is. It's easy to treat his health, but the question is how long it will take. If it takes a long time, will Ye Zi be able to wait until then?
