Chen Qing and Xiao Yu had a relaxed chat this time, but after hanging up the phone, when she looked down at the densely packed documents, she gasped and helplessly continued writing.
Knock knock knock—
Chen Qing looked up, her eyes lighting up, and she instinctively stood up: "Minister Lian, why did you come in person!"
Minister Lian smiled and said, "I volunteered to come for the assessment and also to see the Summer Sports Apparel Factory that I've long admired for a long time."
Chen Qing was genuinely overjoyed. With Minister Lian here, her job was practically guaranteed!
"Welcome, welcome! I'll make you some tea, and then I'll take you sightseeing."
She invited Minister Lian to sit on the sofa.
Minister Lian glanced at Chen Qing's office and casually remarked, "I heard that you allocated five percent of your profits to cooperate with the Foreign Trade Bureau to jointly subsidize factories in the light industry."
Chen Qing paused slightly as he brewed the tea, then smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Your plan is excellent, and you've chosen a good partner." Minister Lian then changed the subject: "But you'll not only be helping a group of people, but you'll also be offending a large number of people."
Few people are grateful; on the contrary, those who did not receive assistance complained about Chen Qing.
Seeing that he didn't mention Manager Liu, Chen Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and handed him the teacup: "I understand, but with foreign capital entering the market, our internal living space will be encroached upon. We can only encourage vigorous internal development. I always hope that more and more comrades-in-arms will accompany Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory on its overseas trips."
Minister Lian admired her broad-mindedness after hearing what she said: "Since you know what you're doing, I won't say any more. Just do your job well, and if anything comes up, you can contact me."
"Thank you, Minister Lian."
"We're all family, so let's not speak like strangers."
Minister Lian waved his hand, took another sip of the tea Chen Qing had brewed, and then looked at the tea leaves again.
I might as well brew the tea myself, so that Chen Qing won't waste such good tea leaves.
After the two of them had a good time appreciating the tea, Chen Qing led Minister Lian on a tour of the Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory.
As they strolled around, Minister Lian noticed that Chen Qing's factory was indeed very large and well-organized. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Are you free tonight? I'll take you to have dinner with them."
Chen Qing: "I have to take care of the child."
Minister Lian was taken aback and instinctively exclaimed "Ah!"
He looked Chen Qing up and down: "Oh, you seem to have a child..."
Perhaps it was because Chen Qing had been arrogant and domineering for too long.
Like a general who has fought on the battlefield.
This caused him to forget for a moment that Chen Qing was a mother of two children.
Chen Qing: "Yes, I still take care of them myself. A while ago, I came home drunk and the kids criticized me. They kept saying they had to take them with them to social events, or they would cry. So I have to go home and take care of the kids."
Minister Lian suddenly felt sorry for her, "Sigh, it must be tough for a young woman like you to raise a child alone."
He looked up at the huge garment factory. Chen Qing had created enormous profits for the country, but as a woman, she also had to take care of her family, which was much more difficult for her than for many men.
Chen Qing smiled but didn't explain anything.
Minister Lian then asked, "Are you really not going?"
"No, there are gains and losses. I've already worked very hard all the time, so there's no need to cram at the last minute. Besides, with Minister Lian here, I'm not worried."
Chen Qing's promise to take Pingping with him to social events already implies that he will likely have fewer social engagements in the future.
Because she's always out socializing, her child doesn't get to see her all day.
Pingping and Youyou no longer have their father's company. As their mother, her absence would be detrimental to their development.
Minister Lian hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed heavily: "Alright, I'll see what they're saying for you."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, Minister Lian."
Minister Lian came all this way to support her.
However, the assessment period was very long, from the beginning of November to the end of November. Minister Lian came for two days, representing his support for Chen Qing, and then left.
People from the central government are still conducting investigations in various departments.
Chen Qing and Wang Xuemei waited and waited, but they couldn't wait any longer. On November 20th, they officially announced to the people of the whole country that in the future, Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory and the Foreign Trade Bureau would cooperate and use 5% of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory's profits to subsidize other factories in the light industry.
The news broke.
Factory managers across the country are in shock!
The first person to call Chen Qing was Shen Yaopeng, who immediately launched into a tirade: "Chen Qing, what does this plan do to the Ministry of Heavy Industry?!"
Chen Qing: "..."
She silently picked up the enamel mug and drank some water.
Because Shen Yaopeng was still venting his anger.
Chen Qing listened patiently, and after he finished cursing, he said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm already in the Ministry of Light Industry, and I can't help you anymore. I have no choice in the matter."
"hehe!"
Shen Yaopeng sneered.
Chen Qing: "It's because your Ministry of Heavy Industry doesn't have another 'Chen Qing'. You need to work hard to cultivate talent."
Shen Yaopeng coughed up blood.
Chen Qing was someone he trained, and he went to the Ministry of Light Industry!
Is he going to cultivate a second enemy?!
"Could two percent be allocated to the Ministry of Heavy Industry?"
Chen Qing smiled but remained silent.
impossible!
Her political achievements.
How could she possibly give it away so easily!
Shen Yaopeng really wanted to bring up He Yuan, but He Yuan's whereabouts were currently unknown, so he could only sigh, "We're all family."
Chen Qing held the microphone away: "Hello... hello... hello... Oh, the line dropped again."
Snap—
hang up.
The surroundings are quiet now.
Before Chen Qing could even relax for a moment, the door was violently flung open.
Liu Fenghua burst through the door and ran in.
The water in the enamel mug in Chen Qing's hand swayed slightly.
Secretary Zhang couldn't stop him and looked apologetically at Chen Qing: "Factory Director, I'm sorry, I'll take Manager Liu out right away."
Chen Qing reached out to stop Secretary Zhang, disapprovingly saying, "Manager Liu is here, why are you stopping him? Please have Manager Liu sit down and treat him well."
Manager Liu looked at Secretary Zhang, then at Chen Qing, wondering if they were in cahoots.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else.
He sat down in front of Chen Qing, his arrogance and domineering attitude from abroad gone.
"Director Chen, regarding the sponsorship, could we cooperate? Don't worry, I will definitely approve any of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory's applications directly in the future. You can do whatever you want, and I will fully support you. Although we have some conflicts, they are minor matters. I know more people than Wang Xuemei, and the benefits I can offer you are far greater than what Wang Xuemei can offer. Director Chen, I have always thought you are a smart person, and you should make the right choice, right?"
Some time ago, he almost caused the country to give tens of millions of yuan more funds to outsiders, but Wang Xuemei saved the day.
This is already enough for Wang Xuemei to contend for the position of director of the Foreign Trade Bureau. If Wang Xuemei continues to cooperate with Chen Qing and holds enormous profits in her hands, then the position of director will definitely fall into Wang Xuemei's hands!
And what about him?
His relationship with Wang Xuemei has reached a point of extreme tension!
Wang Xuemei is the bureau chief.
He is bound to be driven away.
This is not the situation he wanted!
Liu Fenghua looked at Chen Qing expectantly, but seeing her smile faintly and remain silent, he threw out another heavy bargaining chip: "I can give you 20% of our internal profits in cash." (End of this chapter)
