After asking Huang Guang to go do the work, An Jingzhi waited at home.
I thought I would receive news only tomorrow, but I didn't expect them to come to visit me that very evening.
After they sat for a while, the whole family went home from get off work one after another.
An Changhua watched his youngest son sitting and talking with the mayor without showing any fear.
He was a little doubtful: was the youngest son in front of him still his son? Or was he the same youngest son who was always complaining and making trouble out of nothing?
Even he was a little apprehensive when looking at the mayor, not daring to approach, and speaking with trepidation. However, his son had treated the mayor and the factory director like ordinary people since they arrived, and his behavior was impeccable. He exuded the aura of a superior from the inside out.
This was a side of An Changhua he had never seen before.
He couldn't help but wonder, could a trip to Hong Kong Island bring about such a big change?
"The boss from Hong Kong wants to invest and build a factory in our city. We welcome you with open arms. Mr. An, if you need anything, you can send someone to find me at any time. As long as it is within the scope of principles, I can make some arrangements." Director Yang sat with him, and the mayor and An Jingzhi were the main speakers.
"Mayor, you are so polite. If I need any help, I will definitely send someone to let you know." An Jingzhi smiled and remained calm.
When they first entered the door, Director Yang also spoke a few words to the young man. An Changhua's youngest son worked in the same factory as everyone else, and they all knew each other more or less.
I originally thought that he was a lucky guy, but I didn't expect that he was a real person who never showed his true face. Director Yang admitted that the rumors were really not credible.
He looked at An Changhua, who was sitting aside and chatting stiffly, with envy.
"Old An, you raised a good son."
An Changhua forced a smile and tried hard to suppress the anxiety in his heart.
Except for a few women who were cooking, all the other men in the family sat by and kept him company. From time to time, they looked at An Jingzhi with somewhat strange yet respectful eyes, as if trying to figure out whether he was still their younger brother.
An Jingzhi, who was able to speak calmly to the mayor, seemed to be shining in their eyes.
Even the woman who was cooking would glance over at them from time to time, then sneak back.
Mrs. An had just finished looking at the front and secretly ran back. She nudged Mrs. An, who was washing vegetables nearby, with her elbow and said, "Oh my God, what is Jingzhi doing? Why did the mayor come to see him?" This brother-in-law is too powerful. His wife doesn't even dare to fart, and doesn't dare to leave. She just keeps her head down and drinks water.
Second Sister An's eyes were filled with shock. When they came home from work, they saw a car parked in front of their house. The neighbors were all peeking in. When they arrived at the door, someone even pulled their arms to ask what was going on inside. But they had just gotten off work, so how could they know what was going on? When they entered, they found that the mayor and the director of their father-in-law's machinery factory had come to their house.
Before they could react, An's mother sent them out to buy groceries and cook, and they have been busy until now.
An Ersao also secretly went to the front to take a look. To be honest, she had never seen An Jingzhi like that before.
My brother-in-law ran to the south and said he was looking for a job. Everyone in the family knew about it, but no one took it seriously.
In everyone's eyes, the most important thing is the iron rice bowl in the factory. Although many people have made a lot of money after being laid off, they still feel that it is not as good as the iron rice bowl that guarantees a stable income.
And although their factory doesn't offer as many benefits as before, they still pay their wages as usual. Before the factory closed down, no one thought that the factory they worked for would go bankrupt.
Seeing this scene today had a great psychological impact on An Ersao. She sometimes wondered if it was really this era that had delayed her brother-in-law?
So my brother-in-law looks down on those jobs, not because he is too picky but because he really has the ability?
Judging from the current situation, this possibility is still very high.
She shared her guess with Mrs. An, and Mrs. An just stood there in a daze, forgetting even to wash the vegetables.
It was not until An's mother, who was working nearby, scolded her that she continued washing the vegetables while thinking about what her second sister-in-law had just said to her.
So Jingzhi didn't study before because he didn't like studying, and his ability wasn't in that area. His father-in-law found him a job, but he didn't want to take it. Was he really unwilling to waste his talent?
Mrs. An was thinking about these words while washing vegetables, and she could hear the conversation coming from the front hall.
The mayor originally wanted to go by himself, but he sent someone to investigate and found out the specific situation of the An family. Then he suddenly decided to take Director Yang with him to improve the relationship between the two sides.
"Jingzhi, I'm sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited today." The mayor said politely.
An Changhua, who was standing by, was afraid that his son would say something wrong, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop bothering me..."
An Jingzhi smiled and glanced at An Changhua and said to the mayor, "Yes, Mayor Zhang, please don't be polite. It's just a simple meal."
Mayor Zhang smiled and shook his head. "That won't work. Our organization has its own rules. We can't take even a single needle or thread from the people." He took some money out of his pocket and put it on the table. "This money will cover our meal at your house today. I'll treat you tomorrow at noon. Jingzhi, please don't refuse."
Originally, he came to solicit investment, but after chatting with An Jingzhi for a while, Mayor Zhang found that he was a young man with ideals and execution ability. He heard that he had not even graduated from elementary school, but the other party's conversation made him feel that he was an official of the same level as him, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Although he tried his best to remain kind, no one would not feel afraid every time he went to the grassroots to meet the people. But the kid was different. He did not have the arrogance of a villain who had succeeded, nor the fear of meeting the leaders.
He began to understand why the big boss from Hong Kong asked the other party to be responsible for building a factory and investing in their hometown.
"Of course. Since I promised Mayor Zhang, I will definitely go back to keep the appointment."
Mayor Zhang did not come here to discuss business today, and the An family was not an appropriate place to discuss business. He just heard that this family was from their city, so he came in advance to inquire about the specific situation and to build some closer relations.
Both the host and the guests had a great time. After agreeing on a time for the next day, Mayor Zhang and Director Yang went back together.
Perhaps he had drunk too much, for before leaving, Director Yang kept holding An Changhua's hand and praising him for being lucky.
It was the first time that An Changhua had dinner with such a high-ranking leader, so he didn't dare drink too much. Not only him, but the whole family was a little cautious throughout the meal. The entire banquet was dominated by An Jingzhi and Mayor Zhang, and occasionally Director Yang would interject a few words to bring the two sides closer.
