The next morning after breakfast, Su Nuan called the mayor's secretary to inquire whether her nationality had been changed back.
Secretary Li, the reply is that the formalities have been completed and I need to go there in person to register and apply for a household registration book.
Su Nuan mentioned again the matter of Su Mei's family of three registering their Hong Kong residence in the mainland, and asked if this could be done.
Secretary Li said, "Now that the country is opening up, many Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese have returned to China to build the country. It is relatively easier to obtain Hong Kong hukou than to change nationality."
Su Nuan, thank you Secretary Li, let's make an appointment to meet later to talk in detail.
Before leaving, Su Nuan called Manager He of the shipping company and asked him to help rent a temporary warehouse at the port. After the warehouse was rented, Manager He told Su Nuan the warehouse address.
Su Nuan returned to the room and took out the ten boxes of antiques and cultural relics that Grandpa Su had asked her to donate from the space. She piled them directly in the corner of the master bedroom closet and instructed Johnson and Jack to move the ten boxes of antiques and cultural relics downstairs, drive them to the rented temporary warehouse, and bring back the warehouse keys.
An hour and a half later, the two came back after finishing their work.
After the few of them had packed up, Su Nuan led the group and drove to the city government.
When I arrived at the city hall, I said goodbye to the receptionist and sat in the hall waiting for Secretary Li to come.
Secretary Li came down soon and took a few people directly to the Household Registration Department to handle their household registration.
Su Nuan, Johnson, and Jack have already changed their nationality back. They can just apply for household registration and settle in the Su family's old house.
For Su Mei and the other two, it was not so fast. They came here today to submit the relevant application materials. Even if they go through the fastest procedure, it will take 3 days. After 3 days, they can come directly to apply for household registration.
Soon after the matter was settled, Su Nuan arranged for Jack to send Su Mei and the other two back to the hotel. She took Johnson with her and followed Secretary Li to see Mayor Wang.
When they arrived at the mayor's office, there was someone inside handling something. Secretary Li arranged for Su Nuan to wait in the reception room for a while before inviting Su Nuan and the other person into the mayor's office.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mayor Wang, Su Nuan directly stated the purpose of her visit.
"Mayor Wang, a month ago, I told you that my grandfather had a private collection of antiques that he wanted to donate to the country. I wonder if you still remember?"
"I remember you said they were on the way. Are they in Shanghai now?"
"Yes, the items have been delivered to the Shanghai Port. Here are the warehouse keys. The warehouse we rented is Warehouse 155 at the port. There are ten boxes of antiques in total."
After saying that, Su Nuan handed the key to Mayor Wang.
Mayor Wang took the key, stood up and bowed to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan quickly helped Mayor Wang up.
"Mayor Wang, what are you doing?"
"Comrade Su Nuan, the country and the people are grateful to the Su family for their righteousness."
"Mayor Wang, you are too kind. This is what we should do as Chinese citizens."
"Okay, I will immediately arrange for someone to bring the cultural relics back."
"By the way, Su Nuan, you donated 1 billion yuan to the country before, and now you have donated a batch of antiques and cultural relics. The country will not let patriots lose heart. If you have anything you want, you can tell me. It can be regarded as a reward from the country."
"Mayor Wang, you know the Su family isn't short of money or possessions, but I personally prefer houses, whether they're Western-style houses in Shanghai or courtyard houses in Beijing. If possible, I'd like to buy a few more. Does the government allow the buying and selling of courtyard houses now?"
"You've already bought several villas in Shanghai. I'll instruct the director of the Real Estate Bureau to notify you as soon as a suitable villa is found. As for the courtyard houses in Beijing, I don't have any options at the moment, but I will report your idea to the relevant departments. If it's feasible, you can wait for my notification."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mayor Wang."
"I heard that you've been doing a lot of things recently. Are you encountering any difficulties?"
"Everything is going smoothly now. The food factory we purchased earlier has started production, and sales have opened up a bit. The market is still being developed. Construction has already begun on the land on the outskirts of the city. The architectural design is still being done by a professor at the School of Architecture at Fudan University."
"That's great. The future economic growth of Shanghai depends on the Su's. I'll call the person in charge of the Shanghai Department Store and the Friendship Store later. Secretary Li has tried the products of the Su's Food Factory for me before. The quality and taste are good. We can increase the purchase. The municipal government is also about to prepare the Spring Festival welfare. Wait, you go to the logistics department and I will say hello. This year, the municipal government welfare will use products from the Su's Food Factory."
"Thank you very much, Mayor Wang, for your support of the Su Corporation."
"Su's presence in Shanghai will also boost Shanghai's GDP. We are mutually beneficial and will develop together."
“Okay, let’s make progress together.”
The two of them smiled at each other and shook hands.
After bidding farewell to Mayor Wang, Su Nuan went to the logistics department, signed an order for the food factory, and then returned to the hotel.
