Chapter 185

The bad guys are coming

"You said you got this picture from the Public Security Bureau?" In the guesthouse room, Su Dong looked at a piece of paper and couldn't help but touch his chin. "What a talent, the drawing is really good."

On the A4 paper, there are a few quick sketches of a man wearing glasses, smiling in a very easy-going and friendly manner, which is simply lifelike.

"Drawn by Nie Bozhao's son Nie Weimin?"

"Really?"

Deng Dongya knocked on the door. "Mr. Su, let's go to dinner together. Haven't you always wanted to meet Mr. Nie? You are both experts in oil refining. It's like heroes meeting rivals. And you are particularly interested in opening a factory here. Why don't you go?"

It was Deng Dongya, who came to call him in person.

Su Dong put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "Brother Deng, I have altitude sickness and feel uncomfortable. You can go by yourself. As for Nie Gong, I'll see you another day."

In fact, Su Xiangdong is Su Dong, and Su Dong is Su Xiangdong.

However, Su Dong was once the backbone of Daqing's oil exploration and research and development industry, and Su Xiangdong was a big oil tycoon who commanded respect from oil thieves wherever he went.

Holding the paper with Nie Weimin's drawing, Su Xiangdong said to the people behind him, "This is a talent. He is just a young boy, and in the heavy snow, he can draw me so vividly with just one look. We must win him over and make him the backbone of our organization."

The person standing behind him was actually an old acquaintance of Ye Gong and also a relatively important cadre in the mining area, Fu Yongdong.

He said, "Leader, please stop joking. Xiao Nie is now studying at Oilfield High School. It is said that he always gets full marks in the exams. He has only set one goal for himself, which is to get into Tsinghua University's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He has no choice but to take the exam. There is no way he can compete with us."

Su Dong, or Su Xiangdong, stroked his chin and said, "It's hard to say. The boys are still young now. We can slowly do ideological work. We really can't miss such talents. Do you know that he published a story called "New Lin Chong's Night Run" in "Shanghai Youth"? For a child, the story was written in one go. I have been paying attention to his articles, but I didn't expect that he could also draw. Such excellent talents must be won."

Fu Yongdong said, "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to drive away directly, or do you want to investigate it carefully in private?"

Su Xiangdong put out his cigarette, threw away his suit, and put on a work suit over his white shirt. "The quality of the children in your place is generally too low. Call all the outstanding children tonight, upstairs in the Wushi bar, and I will hold a meeting with them to have a heart-to-heart talk. The children's thinking needs to be corrected, and their work needs to be regularized. These are urgent issues that need to be resolved."

Good guy, the leader of these idiots is so casual, friendly, peaceful and approachable.

If no one mentioned it, who would believe that this young man who looked no more than 30 years old, young and handsome, tall and gentle, with a Western style, would be the legendary and famous "Oil Tyrant"?

"Please don't ask for help from brother Wei Min. Wei Min is such a good boy. I watched him grow up." Fu Yongdong said.

Su Xiangdong didn't understand. "Yongdong, the business we are doing is the best in the field. If Nie Weimin is really a talent, I will personally send him to Dongfeng City in the future and let him play with the whole Dongfeng City. Also, in your opinion, our business is not up to par?"

Fu Yongdong shook his head and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I believe that with you, the future of the mining area will be better."

Among the people Fu Yongdong knew, there was a worker who was professionally outstanding and the best in his field, but he was so absorbed in scientific research that he was completely oblivious to the fact that everyone was talking about the economy and getting rich.

As for Su Xiangdong, he was a top figure in Daqing's scientific research. He was conscious and aware, and unlike Nie Gong, who was always high and mighty and could not get out of the laboratory, he walked out and raised his arms, which showed that he was ready to take advantage of the power of policy to accomplish something big.

Here, when Deng Dongya was having dinner, he didn't see his two female classmates. Why? He heard that something happened in their woolen textile factory and they hurried to deal with it.

When entertaining guests, drinking is inevitable, and when drinking, being forced to drink is inevitable. Deng Dongya was forced to drink a bellyful of wine.

Because the food was not to my liking, I didn't touch a single bite. When I returned to the hotel, I felt sad when I saw the leggings that I had taken out and hung there alone. I thought, what an important matter it was, and yet these two female classmates would leave me alone to deal with it?

Just at this moment, Director Zhao came in with a thick document in his hand.

"It's Chen Junyan again. I know his father is very powerful, but he is my subordinate. He calls me all the time to interfere with my work. I said I want to see my classmates and don't want to see Ma Xiaofang for the time being, so I asked her to wait." Deng Dongya said.

Director Zhao said, "You have nothing to do at night, so why not take a look at Ma Xiaofang's plan? What's the big deal?"

Nowadays, typewriters are rare, let alone typesetters. Ma Xiaofang's materials, not to mention the thick stack, are also very uniquely laid out. Deng Dongya was attracted at a glance.

So he said, "I'll take a look tonight, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Deng Dongya felt dizzy and couldn't sleep because of stomach discomfort, so he opened Ma Xiaofang's strategic plan and took a look.

As soon as he saw it, he was fascinated.

Well, Ma Xiaofang listed several advantages of Hongyan in the planning document. First, it radiates to the surrounding areas, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet. Hongyan has a much greater advantage in logistics than Bianjiang.

Furthermore, in Hongyan, there is no such thing as frontier subsidies in the wages, so a lot of money can be saved on labor costs. The clothes produced in the clothing factory are much cheaper than those in the mining area.

After flipping through the "Hongyan Light Industry Strategic Plan", Deng Dongya was impressed.

As he watched, he became interested, so he called Ma Xiaofang over and asked her about the situation in detail.

"Director Ma, I think your plan is very well written, but what I want to ask is, in addition to your geographical advantages, do you have a specific plan for clothing sales channels?"

Ma Xiaofang said, "In our mainland, the consumption power of ordinary people is generally not high. We are still preparing to focus on the consumption groups of major military regions, as well as government agencies, enterprises and institutions on work uniforms."

Although Deng Dongya was in charge of light industry, he himself did not understand the clothing industry. Her suggestion sounded good to him, so he took it seriously and started a discussion with her.

As they were chatting, his face turned yellower and yellower. Suddenly, he waved his hands, stood up, and before he could even walk to the bathroom, he vomited with a loud bang.

This person drank without eating. Plus, he was a mainlander who had just arrived at the border, so he wasn't used to the climate there and had a slight altitude sickness, which directly ruined his health.

So, when Chen Lina and Hu Su had finally dealt with the emergency at the woolen textile factory and rushed to the guesthouse, the ambulance pulled up and took Deng Dongya, who was suffering from gastric bleeding, to the hospital.

When Chen Lina and Hu Su rushed to the hospital, the doctor was performing gastric lavage on Deng Dongya.

The two of them didn't see him, but instead saw Ma Xiaofang, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey, isn't this Secretary Chen? This time our two provinces are competing. Do you in Umayyi have the confidence to compete with us in Hongyan?" Ma Xiaofang said.

She was dressed very smartly today, still in her army green Liberation suit, tight leather shoes, big round glasses, a baby face, and a cute expression like a little girl.

"How can you not have confidence? But Sister Ma, you changed your position very quickly. The last time I went to Hongyan, you were not in the woolen textile factory." Chen Lina said with a smile.

Ma Xiaofang had a mixture of old and new hatreds, and even hatred made her unable to laugh. "Compared to us, your biggest advantage is that you have some friendship with Secretary Deng, but I believe that your friendship is vulnerable in the face of great interests. To fight for projects, you have to have strength to speak, what do you think?"

Director Zhao who was accompanying him was also there, as well as many members of the inspection team from Shanghai. They were all waiting in the hospital for Deng Dongya to wake up.

"Indeed, from all aspects, Hongyan should be better than Umayee. Alas, Umayee is really not a place for people to live. The leader fell ill as soon as he arrived." said one person in the inspection team.

Another person also said, "If it were me, I would not choose to invest in Umay. But if our leader really wants to talk about friendship, then this matter is hard to say. Anyway, let's wait until he wakes up."

Hu Su got anxious when he heard this. "Lina, I feel something is not good after hearing what the people in the inspection team said. Do you think our joy will not be in vain?"

"You are just idle when you talk about this. Don't you think Secretary A and the others are just pretending to be enthusiastic? How can they force people to drink as soon as they come?" Chen Lina was angry about this, because Deng Dongya had a low alcohol tolerance and was not in good health. He was completely defeated by this. Not to mention investing, he probably had a psychological trauma on Umayya as a whole.

This is a very bad situation.

The next day, Deng Dongya was still ill and unable to get up, so Director Zhao took everyone to visit the newly built clothing factory and Ermao factory in Wumai.

After the inspection, Director Zhao, who had been forced to drink alcohol the day before, didn't even eat. He rushed to the hospital to see Deng Dongya who was hospitalized.

Hu Su looked at the group of absent-minded members of the inspection team who showed dissatisfaction and displeasure on their faces, and said depressedly, "Lina, I think the members of the inspection team are really disappointed with our mining area. I guess they have directly rejected us in their hearts. What should we do? Should we go to Dongya to plead for us?"

Chen Lina invested more than 300,000 yuan in the production line, and it can be said that she lost all her family fortune.

If Deng Dongya were to give the project to Hongyan at this time, Nie Weimin would probably not be able to afford fourteen pairs of underwear, and his sister would not be able to buy a beautiful floral dress.

"Don't think about that, let's cook something for Dongya first." Chen Lina said.

She felt really sorry in her heart. When she thought about how Deng Dongya vomited blood after being force-fed, and heard that he still had a fever today and hadn't woken up for the whole day, she felt particularly sorry for Deng Dongya.

At the gate of the woolen textile factory, Sandan was waiting for Chen Lina, carrying his chubby little sister on his back.

As soon as the younger sister saw Chen Lina, she reached out for a hug.

"Lina, don't you have any urgent matters today? Why don't you drop Nie Satellite off at my house tonight?" Chen Lina had just hugged her sister and kissed her when Leng Qi came trotting around the gate.

When Wei Xing saw Leng Qi, he smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth. "Dad, Dad."

Anna had also finished get off work, so she said, "Leng Qi said he invented a milk and egg cake that is even better than the egg cake cooked in boiling water. Secretary Chen, let us take care of the satellite for you tonight."

As for the couple, even though Anna is pregnant, she really likes her sister. Having a sister at home, in Lengqi's words, the temperature in the house will rise by two degrees.

So, whenever I have the chance, I take my sister back home and let her sleep between us at night. She is so soft and smells like milk. It is so much fun.

Chen Lina then asked the satellite, "Sister, do you want to go to your father's house with him?"

The younger sister hugged her mother's neck and glanced at Leng Qi quietly. She saw him stretch out his hand and kissed him, but she shook her head like a drum, "No, I want mom."

"You have no conscience. I love you in vain." Leng Qi was angry and reached out to touch his sister's nose.

The younger sister refused to go, but when she saw Leng Qi was angry, she quickly said, "I love daddy, my sister loves daddy."

It's so annoying. Minister Leng was teased by this little lady and he didn't have any temper at all.

"Minister Leng, firstly, my sister wants to go home. Secondly, let me tell you, Nie Weiguo and I have agreed that as long as my sister goes home, he will memorize 20 words. If my sister doesn't go home, he won't memorize the words. So, you should go back and give your daughter good prenatal education." Chen Lina said, and took her sister and Sandan to pick up Erdan.

Erdan was a man of action. As soon as he saw his sister in the car, he took out his book and started reciting English words aloud.

After returning home, Chen Lina first stewed a fish soup, and then made another pot of tomato and egg soup. After feeding the children, she made another pot and put it in the lunch boxes.

Then, she took out a bottle of sweet rice wine, poured fresh milk into it, and started to make cheese. The weather was still very cold, especially at night, it was even colder, so she found a few small wooden sticks that children used to eat popsicles in the summer and stuck them into the lunch box. Soon the popsicles were frozen into shape.

The worker went to the oil well today and hasn't come back yet. Chen Lina has to take care of three children to visit Deng Dongya, so she has to take all three children to the hospital.

The conditions in the hospital are much better now, but they are still incomparable to the big hospitals in Shanghai.

There is also a ward for cadres, but the mining area is a strange place. As long as you are a cadre, you will never get sick. Yu Donghai is a frequent visitor to this suite.

Before Chen Lina knocked on the door, she smelled a strong floral scent and the aroma of maltose mixed with milk powder.

Secretary A and District Chief Hu are both here, but they are both outside. It is said that Deng Dongya is having dinner at the moment.

"Lina, Ma Xiaofang from Hongyan is very talkative. I sat next to him and listened for a long time. I also think that we should hand over the clothing factory business to Hongyan." Secretary A said sincerely.

Although District Chief Hu did not say it, deep down, he was probably the person in the entire mining area who feared Chen Lina the most, except for the workers.

He had affairs with two of his relatives. The first one was arrested and sentenced by her before he even got married. The second one was even worse. She kept encouraging Hu Su to divorce him, which made Hu Su now lukewarm towards him.

It turned out that Hu Su would sneak downstairs at night, open the door herself, lie on the bed with him, chat, and have some sex. In short, they were very passionate.

Although Hu Xuanang didn't say it, he always felt that Hu Su had the scent of his deceased wife. Sometimes, when she didn't come one night, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

As a result, she has gradually stopped coming. Last night, Hu Xuan drank a little and was very restless. He lay in bed waiting for Hu Su for a long time but she didn't show up. He went upstairs for the first time and wanted to ask Hu Su to come down to sleep with him. But when he knocked on the door, he saw Hu Su dancing in the middle of the night, wearing a very beautifully cut dress and holding a glass of red wine.

The one playing the guitar to accompany her was her very handsome and gentle son, Li Mingcheng.

It is obvious that after listening to Chen Lina, Hu Su decided to abandon him and pursue her own happiness again.

Therefore, when District Chief Hu saw Chen Lina, he felt tremendous pressure.

But the pressure is not important at this moment, what is important is the garment factory.

"Hongyan and we are brother provinces and economic rivals. No matter how many advantages Hongyan has, Lina, you must win this clothing factory project for us at all costs." District Chief Hu said as he shook hands with Chen Lina.

Chen Lina was holding her sister in one hand, with two children following behind her, some with big lunch boxes and some with small lunch boxes.

She said, "Nonsense, you have all been brainwashed by Ma Xiaofang. You actually think that Bianjiang is not as good as Hongyan. You should go back first. When Deng Dongya recovers from his illness, I will hold a symposium. I will not only convince Deng Dongya, but mainly brainwash those of you who think that Bianjiang is not as good as Hongyan."

District Chief Hu suffocated again.

He even felt a little sympathy for the worker. My God, how could he endure this strong and suffocating woman?

There was a dispute going on in the ward.

"Leader, you are receiving an IV and have a high fever. Can I feed you the milk powder and biscuits?" This is the voice of Ma Xiaofang's cousin, Ma Qingqing.

Then came Deng Dongya's voice, "Comrade, I just have a fever, not my hands are disabled. I really don't like others feeding me. Oops, you poked my nose."

Originally, he just wanted to discuss cooperation with Ma Xiaofang. Of course, he also heard that Ma Xiaofang's strategic planning was good and felt that they had a common language, so he ignored his physical illness and insisted on discussing work.

I don't know where this woman came from, but she put medicine in his mouth, then fed him water, and now she even gave him milk powder.

Deng Dongya grew up in Shanghai. His family was well-off and his father was a bank president. In the first ten years of his life, he was tired of eating biscuits soaked in milk powder. He wanted to vomit at the sight of them. When he had a fever, he had to have biscuits stuffed in his mouth.

This is because he is older and a leader, and he needs to pay attention to his image. If he were younger, he would have just overturned the bowl.

Just then, Chen Lina came in with her three little tails.

"Chen Lina!"

"Deng Dongya!"

Deng Dongya brushed Ma Qingqing away, almost dropping the needle. "It's been two years."

When Deng Dongya heard the nurse and the doctor say that she was Awarguli from the mining area, he didn't believe it. After all, he hadn't seen many decent people since he came to the mining area.

When Chen Lina came in, she was wearing a tweed coat and soft black leather gloves. She still had the same long, wavy, shiny black hair. Her skin was better than when she was in Beijing. She had lost a lot of weight. When she smiled, she looked like Brigitte Lin in the Taiwanese movie "Outside the Window", but her facial features were softer and more graceful than Brigitte Lin's.

"I never exaggerate those clichés, like you've become more beautiful after not seeing you for a few years, but after not seeing you for two years, you're really much more beautiful than when you were in Beijing." Deng Dongya said as he shook Chen Lina's hand.

Hu Su said, "When she was in Beijing, she had just given birth to a child six months ago. She had to take care of the baby at night, make milk powder for the baby in the middle of the night, and go to class during the day. She also had to urge you to hand in your homework, especially you and Ji Huaishan. You obviously know everything and always get full marks on the exams, but you always pester her to help with your homework and deliberately lower the test scores of our female classmates. Tell me yourself, how could she be in good condition at that time?"

To be honest, when Chen Lina was raising her children alone in Beijing, it was the most difficult time for her.

She glanced at the table in front of the bed and saw Ma Xiaofang sitting beside the bed. She said, "Sister Ma, it's already half past eight. Can you let us talk for a while?"

Ma Qingqing was about to say something, but Ma Xiaofang squeezed her eyes and immediately stood up, "Leader, let's talk about it tomorrow. We'll go back first."

"Lina, Hu Su, I have a lot of things to tell you. Especially about the clothing factory project. I feel very sorry for you, but..."

Deng Dongya didn't want to set up a branch factory in the mining area, but as for Chen Lina and Hu Su, the factory had been built and the machines had been ordered. If he were to withdraw now, it would be a devastating blow to them.

So half of the reason why he had gastric bleeding and fever was because of this urgent matter.

I originally thought that with Chen Lina's temper, she would point her finger at him and say that he was a traitor to the 1976 class of the Party School.

Unexpectedly, she took the lunch box from her son and said, "Don't say anything, just eat first."
