Chapter 158
Under the surprised gaze of the young comrade, Lu Qin smiled and nodded.
The young comrade looked away and reminded them, "Please wait a moment. Director Zhang has something else to do."
Director Ren's butt barely touched the edge of the stool before he stood up again. "Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble. Please wait here." Comrade Chen glanced at Lu Qin again inadvertently, and as expected, he received a warm smile from him.
The office returned to silence. Lu Qin kept a smile on his face as he watched the young man leave.
Director Ren whispered to him, "Which comrade knows you?"
Lu Qin sighed, thinking carefully. He thought it might be because he was so handsome. But this was a bit difficult to explain. So he shrugged his shoulders to express his denial.
The two of them stayed quietly in the reception room, with two cups on the table still steaming.
Lu Qin leisurely glanced around. "Serve the People" was inscribed on the wall directly in front of him. He strained his ears but could barely hear a sound around him. This was a stark contrast to the factory. He squinted his eyes.
Director Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a leader for many years, and his temper had long been tempered. However, facing an official leader, anyone would be nervous. However, when he looked up, he saw Lu Qin's posture was as relaxed as it could be...
"Ahem." Director Ren cleared his throat. "Have you gathered all the materials?"
Lu Qin turned around cluelessly and patted his bag. "Don't worry, Boss. I've already got everything."
"That's good."
Director Ren moved a little, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
As they waited, perhaps emotions were contagious, Director Ren suddenly stopped being nervous.
About half an hour later, voices suddenly appeared at the door.
Lu Qin opened his hazy eyes, and his eyes were clear.
The middle-aged man walking in front had white hair on his temples. He was wearing a gray suit with the top button buttoned. There was a pen in his breast pocket and he was wearing a pair of black cloth shoes with dust on the uppers.
Lu Qin looked at him carefully. In just two years, Director Zhang's face showed signs of hard work.
Comrade Chen was whispering something to him, but he fell silent as he entered the room.
Director Zhang, who also served as the secretary, fixed his eyes on Director Ren in front of him and politely extended his hand. "You are from the Life Food Factory, right? Please take a seat."
Director Zhang knew the leaders of such a large factory as Lai Fu Food Factory without the need for Comrade Chen to introduce him.
Director Ren extended his hand and shook his, nodding, "Thank you for your help, Boss."
He slightly turned his body, and Lu Qin's figure appeared in Secretary Zhang's sight, especially his handsome face and big white teeth.
Secretary Zhang slowly loosened his grip, and something suddenly flashed through his mind. Those who could reach this position had certain strengths, such as memory. "You are, Comrade Lu?"
Director Ren turned sideways in surprise and looked back at Lu Qin, confused and wondering how they knew each other.
"Hello, Director Zhang," Lu Qin extended his hand excitedly, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm Lu Qin from the Dongyang Brigade."
When Dongyang Brigade was mentioned, his memories were triggered and he remembered what happened two years ago. Comrade Lu's performance on the stage was still fresh in his memory.
He smiled and remembered what Secretary Zhang had reported to him last month. "I remember you went to college last month, right? How come..."
He was able to work in a factory and then get into university. He is a very promising young man. Director Zhang is very optimistic about capable young people.
Lu Qin's face lit up with a smile, feeling flattered. "Thank you for your concern, boss. I started school in March this year, but I used to work at the Life Food Factory and have developed feelings for it, so I came back to take a look."
Director Zhang suddenly understood and commented with a smile, "Young people are still full of energy."
He smiled and waved for them to sit down.
Lu Qin and Director Ren sat on a long bench large enough for two people, and Director Zhang sat on the other side.
After he sat down, he scanned their faces and asked patiently, "What's the problem with you coming to the food factory?"
Director Zhang has always had a good attitude, and of course this is partly because the products made by the Lai Fu Food Factory have brought honor to the Laiyang County Mayor.
Director Ren had just seen Lu Qin greet him without hesitation. He came to his senses at the question, straightened his body, and took the stack of documents from Lu Qin. The two of them had already reached a tacit understanding. "Leader, we have further plans for the factory's development, but we still need your approval."
"Oh." Director Zhang observed the expressions of the two people first. He saw that Director Ren and Lu Qin looked much more serious. It seemed that this was a big deal. What plan needed his approval?
Comrade Chen, a young comrade standing nearby, wanted to help take the document, but Director Zhang refused. He simply took it and opened it to see what was going on.
It starts with three big words: "Application".
Seeing him start to read, Director Ren explained, "Our factory has been developing steadily recently, and both personnel and production have kept pace. After collective discussion among the factory office staff, we would like to further establish a branch factory in another province, located in Ningchuan City. This proposal was approved by unanimous vote."
Director Zhang paused, quickly looked up at them, and then there was the sound of pages turning.
The application was quite extensive. The first section analyzed the current status of Laifu Food Factory, demonstrating their pragmatic approach to production and supply, demonstrating their ability to establish branch factories and their commitment to expanding their business. It also analyzed the reasons for entering their second phase of development. The second section demonstrated that the factory's profits still directly accrued to Laiyang County, demonstrating that as a local factory, they ultimately contributed to the county's well-being. A series of supporting evidence was also included.
As long as Director Zhang flips through the pages carefully, he will be able to see the supporting documents that Lu Qin produced.
After a long pause, Director Zhang looked up silently. The application was quite comprehensive. It was clear it was the product of long deliberation, not a spur-of-the-moment decision. The application was persuasive enough.
He closed the document and said, "I've already taken a rough look at it, but it still needs to be discussed and decided in a meeting before it can be submitted."
Discussion and decision-making means it will take some time to see the results. In reality, the organizations with the right to discuss matters hold 60% of the decision-making power, with the remainder depending on the attitudes of superiors and subordinates. Once the procedures are followed, things become much simpler. Therefore, the county has considerable influence.
For them, the question of whether it was sudden or not didn't exist. Instead, they were more concerned with the problems behind the factory.
However, Director Zhang's attitude left Director Ren confused. He wanted to say something more, "Leader, this is what's going on. Regardless of how our factory expands, it will still be part of Laiyang County's business, and it will also benefit the Laiyang County registered university students in Ningchuan City..."
Director Zhang nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Lu Qin, you too..."
Lu Qin immediately realized what was going on. "Leader, I'm also studying in Ningchuan City. Don't worry, with so many young people working together, I believe our factory will definitely grow bigger and stronger. Besides, some companies have already started this."
Before anyone agreed, Lu Qin had already promised the subsequent development issues.
Director Zhang was stunned for a moment before pulling out another document from his pocket. "Let's add another set of materials. This is from the factory we used as a reference, explaining the feasibility of the branch. This is also about the recent development trends of Deli Food Factory. They offer many of the same products as ours."
Director Ren looked at him in surprise. He remembered that the materials were described in the documents. However, for Lu Qin, which one with straightforward data was more convincing?
Deli Food Factory is a factory in the north of Sanhe Province. If it surpasses Laifu Food Factory, it can be said that the factory's reputation will be damaged, but in fact, it is also the face of the Laiyang County officials.
So they shouldn't be the only ones feeling anxious.
Director Zhang took it and glanced at it, then remained silent for a long time. "I can't make a decision on this matter right now. Please keep these materials here for now. I'll let you know the results of the discussion."
The author has something to say:
It's not over yet, don't worry. (●—●)
