"Hey, I thought it was something serious. It's just an unplanned quota."
"If others don't have it, why wouldn't you? Don't worry about it, I've got it covered." Zhao Guangning laughed immediately after hearing Sheng Xiping's words.
"Don't even mention ten or eight truckloads, bring more and I'll get it for you. If your farm doesn't have it, I'll find it for you from somewhere else."
"Oh, thank you, brother. I was quite unsure of myself before I came, afraid that this matter would be difficult to handle." Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping quickly poured wine for Zhao Guangning.
These days, all kinds of industrial raw materials, whether it's steel, coal, or timber, are in high demand.
Many long-time timber customers from the south have money but no idea how to get things done; they have money but don't know where to send it.
Leaving aside other places, just those few inns along the Songjiang River are now filled with many old guests from the south, all of whom are as anxious as ants on a hot pan, unable to find a way to buy timber.
“It’s not difficult at all. In a little while, just send a telegram to your friend and tell him to bring the money over.”
The first thing we need to make clear to him is that payment is required before shipment; we have no precedent for shipping first and receiving payment later.
Zhao Guangning picked up his wine glass, clinked it against Sheng Xiping's, and gave him some instructions.
And so, the two brothers drank quite a bit of alcohol, toasting and chatting.
After lunch, Zhao Guangning returned to work at the bureau, while Sheng Xiping went to the post office to send a telegram informing the recipient to bring enough money to pick up the goods immediately.
Sheng Xiping didn't linger in Songjianghe for long. After sending the telegram, he immediately returned to the forest railway and took a timber truck from the forest farm home.
All forest farms have completed their winter production operations, and the output figures have been reported to the bureau. They have basically all achieved the production plans set before the Lunar New Year.
Qianchuan Forest Farm once again surpassed other forest farms in timber harvesting this year, earning it the title of advanced production unit.
On May Day, Zheng Xianyong led several people from the forest farm to the bureau for a commendation meeting.
Sheng Xiping was selected as an advanced worker and model worker. He went on stage and was personally presented with a red flower, a certificate, and a prize by Secretary Zhao.
At the same time, the bureau leaders also announced the appointment letters. Zheng Xianyong officially took over as secretary of Qianchuan Forest Farm, Zhao Limin was appointed as director, and Sun Hanwu was appointed as deputy director and production director.
In this way, the leadership team of Qianchuan Forest Farm will all be from the farm itself, and there will be no major changes for at least three to five years.
After the commendation meeting, everyone had a meal together in the bureau's canteen as a celebration banquet.
During the meal, Zhao Yongsheng specially called Sheng Xiping over and praised him highly.
"Xiping, you've done a good job. Young people should have some ambition."
You should work hard and try to achieve something. We need to act like men, right?
Look, now that your wife is in college, you need to strive for improvement yourself and not fall too far behind.
When Zhao Yongsheng said this, he was treating Sheng Xiping as if she were an outsider. Sheng Xiping understood this and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I've remembered everything Secretary Zhao said. I will definitely work harder and try to get closer to the organization. I will work diligently and conscientiously to live up to the expectations of the leaders in the field and the bureau."
Just two days after the commendation meeting, Sheng Xiping received a call from Hou Yashuang, who said that he had arrived in Songjianghe and was staying at the Zhanqian Hotel.
Sheng Xiping hurriedly asked for leave from the farm and took the forest farm's bus to Songjianghe. When he arrived at the station street, he met Hou Yashuang and their factory director.
"Oh, Comrade Sheng, hello! I've heard Xiao Hou mention you many times before. It's nice to meet you for the first time. Please take good care of me."
The other party was exceptionally enthusiastic when they saw Sheng Xiping, and shook Sheng Xiping's hands with both of theirs.
"Hello Director Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Sheng Xiping couldn't be cold, so he smiled and chatted with them.
"Thank you for your trust, Director Zhang, for coming all this way. How about this, I'll treat you both to dinner tonight."
