After the meeting ended, just as the person in charge of the meeting stepped out the door, a man in his mid-thirties chased after him. He wore glasses, had a parted hairstyle, and looked somewhat refined, with a rather dignified and scholarly appearance.
"He Zheng, is something the matter?"
“Minister Wang, I’d like to lead a team to inspect Jiafeng Group. Going down to the grassroots level would be a good experience for someone my age,” He Zheng said with a smile.
"Let's discuss this further. You've performed well in organizational work, but this time it's a technical position. We'll definitely let you go next time if there's an opportunity," Director Wang said with a smile, politely declining.
He Zheng stood there and smiled rather awkwardly. On the way to the cafeteria, everyone was talking about Jiafeng Group. Many people had heard of this company, especially Lu Feng. As for who would be sent, no one knew. Whoever went on this trip would be a valuable experience in the future!
He walked towards the cafeteria with his head down, got his food and started eating. Halfway through his meal, he put down the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand and ran to the phone booth.
After dialing the number, He Zheng said into the phone, "Dad, could you tell me about this matter? A breakthrough in the semiconductor industry is a big deal. If this is handled well, the road ahead will be much smoother."
He mumbled into the phone for half an hour, and the person on the other end agreed.
After breakfast, a few men in their fifties and sixties walked in, exchanged a few polite words, and sat down in a spacious office with square single sofas covered with white blankets.
Wang sat down, lit a cigarette without a handle, and said, "I think this time we should send people with strong technical skills so that it's easier to communicate. The team should be younger. I heard that the boss of Jiafeng Group is a young man, so we'll have more in common. Sending a few old fogies would probably just be superficial."
Everyone present nodded in agreement, thinking it was fine. A square-faced man placed his cigarette on the coffee table, squatted down, and said, "There's a saying that a young man is unreliable. The team leader shouldn't be too young. I think He Zheng is a good choice."
Everyone present looked at the man, knowing exactly what was going on, and their gazes turned to Wang Bu.
“If He Zheng wants to participate, that’s fine, but as for leading the team, forget it,” said Director Wang.
“I’ve been keeping an eye on this guy. He might not be the most technically skilled, but he’s a very good communicator. Although he’s from the North, he grew up in the South, so he’s very adaptable.” The man looked at everyone and said, “I recommend He Zheng. What do you all think?”
Since it wasn't a big deal, everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Feng woke up after midnight. The phone at home kept ringing. He went downstairs, looked at the time on the wall—nine o'clock in the morning—and answered the phone, "Who is it?"
"It's me. First of all, congratulations! The Science and Technology Commission is coming down to inspect the area. They'll be here in a few days. Make sure you're well taken care of. I heard that if they finish their inspection, you're very likely to win an award. Do you know about the Science and Technology Award?" Vice Mayor Liu sounded very excited on the other end of the phone, as if he had single-handedly arranged this.
"Alright, things are busy in the city, I'll show up and make an appearance, okay?" Lu Feng asked.
“You have to come with me, this is a big deal, don’t take it lightly. After their group finishes their inspection, important figures will come to inspect. This group is just making preparations. Let’s have lunch together, it’s on me. I’m really happy for you, brother.” Vice Mayor Liu’s smile was so wide it was almost splitting his mouth.
"Brother?" Lu Feng snorted, said he was busy, and hung up the phone.
Standing in the living room, looking at the blinding sunlight outside, Lu Feng muttered to himself, "What kind of world is this?"
The weather outside was scorching hot, so Lu Feng drove directly to a large shopping mall in the city center and bought himself a cell phone. At this time, Wei Yandan had already received a message from Director Zhang and immediately decided that the group would set up a temporary reception team to take this matter seriously.
"Let me take a look at this Nokia," Lu Feng said, pointing to the Nokia phones in the display case.
"Hello sir, this is Nokia's best-selling model, the Nokia 2110. It has top-tier global technology support and a strong signal; you can receive a signal even in the suburbs," the salesperson explained.
Lu Feng held it in his hand and played with it for a while. These days, being able to make calls in the suburbs is a major selling point for mobile phones.
"How much?"
"This product is priced at 8,000 yuan at the counter, excluding the network access fee. If you get everything done, it will cost more than 9,000 yuan."
