At this time, He Xiaojuan was unaware that Zhao Youcai's itinerary had changed suddenly.
When the Foreign Ministry learned that Zhao Youcai was entangled in another matter, the Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately decided to bring Zhao Youcai back to Beijing ahead of schedule.
He was genuinely afraid of Zhao Youcai's constitution; he was just too prone to causing trouble.
What if by then all his colleagues have rested and recovered, while Zhao Youcai is entangled with a vixen and can't get away?
They didn't even need to book train tickets; they just left in a car.
Early the next morning.
Upon learning that Zhao Youcai had been taken away by people from Beijing last night as if nothing had happened, He Xiaojuan was so angry that she smashed her plate while eating.
Money was spent, suffering was endured, and connections were made.
That’s the result?
The person she was scheming against was swept away with a flick of his sleeve, effortlessly taken away by someone she dared not offend!
Beijing City.
Zhao Youcai never expected to see his youngest son here.
Zhao Jianfei, beaming with excitement, walked up to Zhao Youcai and shouted in a booming voice:
"Dad! I've been transferred to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing!"
These words upset Zhao Youcai.
He originally intended for Zhao Jianfei to establish a foothold in Haishi, since that area was developing very rapidly.
But this made Zhao Youcai feel very uncomfortable, as if these people in Beijing were using his family to manipulate him.
Having dealt with Zhao Youcai all the way, Da Yuanzi understood Zhao Youcai's micro-expressions and quickly explained with a smile.
"Comrade Zhao, please don't misunderstand. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has offices in more than just Beijing. We plan to open ports there and conduct trade as well. Like father, like son, young Comrade Zhao must be very outstanding as well."
Zhao Jianfei felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
I originally thought it was because of my excellence that the country had finally discovered me. I thought I had stood out because of my intelligence and ability, bringing honor to my father.
But little did he know that his bright future was simply due to having a good father.
However, Zhao Jianfei had grown up by this time and was no longer a bloodsucking ingrate.
It must be said that children need to be let go and allowed to grow on their own.
While Zhao Youcai was away on official business, his children worked together to make the business thrive.
The youngest son, who went to Shanghai alone, has also undergone a complete transformation. He is now more composed and his spirit is more stable.
"I'm a bit tired. The ride was so bumpy, my bones feel like they're going to break."
This was the first time Zhao Youcai had ever offered to rest, which shocked Da Yuanzhong.
After all, Comrade Zhao is a pretty easy person to get along with; he chatted and laughed along the way without complaining of being tired.
I originally thought Comrade Zhao was just naturally good-natured, a nice guy with no temper.
Now he could see that Comrade Zhao had his own principles in doing things.
Once Zhao Youcai was sent to the guesthouse, the wronged man immediately convened a meeting and flew into a rage.
"I've told you so many times, you must do your job properly and not resort to those underhanded tactics!"
The vengeful spirit was certain that Zhao Youcai hadn't stormed off because he was afraid of them, but because he had already signed a contract and couldn't break it.
Otherwise, given their semi-coercive threatening behavior, it would be a miracle if Zhao Youcai didn't tear down their entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The person in charge of investigating Zhao Youcai's family situation and who had offered to bring Zhao Youcai's youngest son was also somewhat dumbfounded.
But the group leader's eyes were so sharp that they made him feel very uncomfortable.
“We’re out of options. You’ve been in the Northeast for so long and haven’t made any progress. We don’t have much time left, so we have to finish what they assigned us first.”
As for how to appease Zhao Youcai, or how to make him willingly serve the country and bring honor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we'll see when the time comes.
The great traitor laughed in anger, slamming his fist on the table loudly.
"Make it clear that Comrade Zhao was invited by us, not here to work like you! What's the point of using those methods? What can you do besides offend people?"
"I am formally informing you that your abilities are insufficient to support you in continuing to work here. Please pack your things and resign immediately!"
The father and son, who were catching up in the guesthouse, had no idea that they had caused such a big commotion.
Zhao Jianfei was, after all, a top student, and his ability to read people's expressions had greatly improved.
"Father, please don't be angry. I haven't neglected anything about things in Haishi."
Zhao Jianfei mysteriously took a small blue badge out of his pocket and placed it in Zhao Youcai's hand.
"I've reached a cooperation agreement with Friendship Store over there. I'll transport their unsold goods to remote provinces, and then send some local specialties and rare finds to Friendship Store to sell at high prices. I've made quite a bit of money."
"This badge is given to all the leaders of the nationwide trading route I established, which now allows us to send letters and items without postal service."
Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up.
Isn't this the prototype of express delivery?
Good lad! You figured it out all by yourself without even needing any pointers?
That's good. Knowing to involve locals not only solves the problem of not understanding local customs and traditions, but also helps build a network of connections.
This is a born businessman!
It seems I need to urge my children to be more motivated and study hard; education is definitely useful.
"By the way, I heard from my last conversation with home that my fourth sister-in-law is pregnant. How long until she gives birth?"
"It should be about a month from now, and we should be able to have a baby before the Lunar New Year."
Zhao Youcai didn't understand these things, but so many experienced women in the village did, and they often talked about them, so passersby heard a lot about it.
“That’s perfect. I asked a friend to make two longevity locks, which I can take back with me during the Chinese New Year.”
Zhao Youcai looked at his youngest son with even greater satisfaction; he had finally grown up.
"Dad, the interpersonal relationships at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are quite complicated. You have to be careful with your words and actions, and make sure you don't give anyone any leverage against you."
Zhao Youcai really wanted to give him a flick on the forehead to wake him up. Did he really need to say something like that?
Anyone can see that in these turbulent times, no department can be united.
There are pro-American factions and pro-Mao factions.
Zhao Youcai's value lies in his ability to use his own methods and intellect to devise a populist approach suitable for independence and self-reliance.
Those who depend on other countries for survival will definitely try to trip up Zhao Youcai in every way possible.
"By the way, Dad, I heard you've been looking for a guy surnamed Yuan lately?"
Zhao Youcai raised an eyebrow.
He casually mentioned this at the high-yield corn seed breeding base, how did it get to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even reach his youngest son's ears?
Seeing the puzzled look in his father's eyes, he took the initiative to explain without being asked.
"Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a meeting and sent a team to Hunan Province to find the comrade surnamed Yuan that you mentioned."
