Chapter 161 Zhao Zhongcai Continues to Exert His Efforts
Shihua Village wanted to build a bamboo ware factory. The commune was happy about this kind of collective economy and was not in a hurry, so it naturally wouldn't stop them.
They might even actively help solve the problems involved.
Xing Shen readily agreed.
But there's another thing, that won't do!
"Why don't you want to think about it? Director Xing, I remember you told me that your classmates are all over the country and they're all doing quite well. Why don't you go find them!" Zhao Zhongcai shouted at the top of his lungs.
Xing Shen was utterly speechless. Could he really say that was just boasting?
Zhao Zhongcai didn't care whether he was exaggerating or not; since he had said it, he took it seriously.
"Director, you have to help us! You see, the bamboo ware our village wants to sell are all exquisite and valuable items. If you don't help, we'll have a problem finding a market. What will we do if we can't sell them?"
"You absolutely have to help us. You don't want to see us come up empty-handed, do you?"
The flattery immediately turned Xing Shen's expression sour.
He wanted to scold Zhao Zhongcai, but then someone suddenly flashed through his mind—someone who could probably help—and he hesitated for a moment.
He was unwilling to ask for help from an old classmate he hadn't contacted in a long time, something so difficult.
Lu Yuanqing, with his sharp eyes, noticed his expression and immediately gave Zhao Zhongcai a look that said, "You've got something going, keep going."
Zhao Zhongcai nodded calmly, took a deep breath, and roared, "Director..."
The roar was earth-shattering, startling both the prepared Lu Yuanqing and the unprepared Xing Shen.
Xing Shen's face darkened. "Aren't you ashamed? You're supposed to be the head of a production team. You come here wailing and howling like a banshee. If someone sees you like this, you may not care about your reputation, but I do!"
"Director!!"
Xing Shen: "..."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but look at this, not to mention our commune, even the entire county doesn't have the authority to help you. How can you expect me to help you? Huh!"
"Director!!!"
Xing Shen: "..." Are you done playing?
"I can't do anything about it! If our commune had that invitation letter and that qualification, I would definitely give you the opportunity, but we don't! In the entire Yu'an City, only two companies in the city have that qualification."
"Then you help us out, pull some strings, and let us get a piece of the action. You help us out, use your extensive connections, old classmate, help us out!" Zhao Zhongcai said matter-of-factly.
This was something Lu Yuanqing had told him in advance.
Originally, as a bamboo ware factory that hadn't even completed the procedures yet, how could they be qualified to participate? So from the beginning, they just wanted to go and "piggyback" on the event.
But they were all from the countryside and didn't have any connections, so they could only ask Xing Shen for help. After all, he was a leader from the city and had once boasted that he knew many important people and that all his old classmates were doing very well.
If not him, who else can we turn to?
Xing Shen: "..." Shouldn't you be happy that you're no longer the 'Director'?
"I don't have that ability!"
Even trying to rub against him, Zhao Zhongcai really can come up with anything.
It's only because Lu Yuanqing didn't know what he was thinking that he would have said something like, "The bigger your dream, the bigger your stage!"
"Director!!!"
again!
Xing Shen's face darkened completely, and he immediately told the man to get lost, "Get lost, I don't have that ability, if you're so capable, you do it yourself!"
"director……"
"Uncle Zhao, let's go back and think of a solution!" Lu Yuanqing decisively pulled Zhao Zhongcai away, not daring to provoke Xing Shen any further.
"Eh!!!"
Xing Shen watched the two leave and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
However, after his anger subsided, Xing Shen sat in his office chair and fell into deep thought.
……
As soon as the two left the office, Lu Yuanqing released Zhao Zhongcai, and Zhao Zhongcai immediately gave up the idea of continuing to yell. The two left the commune office quickly and tacitly.
On the way back to the village, Zhao Zhongcai said, "Yuanqing! Are you really sure? Does Director Xing really have the ability to help us?"
Lu Yuanqing walked and laughed, saying, "I was just thinking of seeing if it was possible! If Director Xing really can't help, I'll have to go to the city and plead with Yu Nian'an. Their bamboo ware factory is qualified to do so."
"But judging from Director Xing's attitude, he might actually have some connections to help us."
If that's the case, why would he go to such lengths instead of seeking what's closer to him?
If you contact Yu Nian'an, they're all from bamboo ware factories, so they might have other options.
Even if they eventually agree, they might still lose some of their profits.
But Xing Shen was different. He was the highest leader of the commune, so if they were doing well, he would naturally be doing well too.
Moreover, after spending the past few years together, Lu Yuanqing has come to approve of Xing Shen's character.
He may not have access to higher-level leaders, so he doesn't know what they are like.
But from what we've seen of the leaders so far, they are all passionate leaders who want the people to be well.
Xing Shen is that kind of person too.
“I think Director Xing probably has some connections, but they're not very deep. So even if he wants to ask for help, he's likely to be rejected. That's one of the reasons he's hesitant.”
"As for the other reason, it is that he does not have much recognition of our bamboo ware factory."
No one would blindly trust a bamboo ware factory that has just started and hasn't even shown any results yet!
"What should we do then?" Zhao Zhongcai asked hurriedly.
“Yuan Qing, you said it yourself, we can’t find sales channels on our own. Only by going there can we have a chance to sell, and the price will be much better. But what if I can’t go there at all?”
“I’ll pester Director Xing every day, I refuse to believe he won’t agree!”
Xing Shen is a very impartial and incorruptible person, but he can soften his heart when it comes to things that are good for the people.
Zhao Zhongcai: Uh, based on experience!
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Will Zhao Zhongcai no longer be listed as the person Xing Shen least wants to see?
However, "this is a good idea."
“Uncle Zhao, you can continue looking for him, but if you can bring Director Xing to our village and let him see the products in our warehouse with his own eyes, I think the chances will be much better.”
It's important to know that although the team that has been temporarily assembled is still learning and adapting, there are still finished products that Lu Yuanqing asked them to make, which are currently stored in the warehouse.
Seeing the exquisite bamboo weaving, Xing Shen must have even more confidence in their products.
Zhao Zhongcai was puzzled. "If we just want Director Xing to see our products, we can just take them there in an oxcart! Why bring him back to the village?"
Bringing products there and bringing people back are two completely different things.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, it's best not to make a big fuss for now."
He prefers to make a fortune quietly, and he believes it's best not to publicize anything before achieving results.
It is evident that many people in later generations who wanted to lose weight initially announced their goals on social media, but very few were able to stick to them in the end.
Those who quietly accomplish great things are the ones who ultimately succeed.
“Alright, leave this to me. Don’t worry, Yuanqing, I’ll definitely handle Director Xing.” Zhao Zhongcai said confidently.
I don't know why, but things that I used to feel ashamed, scared, and unable to do now seem so simple.
As long as it's for the good of the village, there's nothing shameful about doing anything.
Well, when did he start being so shameless?
Zhao Zhongcai thought for a long time, recalling the first time Lu Yuanqing wrote an application. He was so shocked when he saw it that he stayed up all night to read it.
Looking at the application, he seemed to see another Lu Yuanqing.
It was around that time that his convictions began to change a little.
Zhao Zhongcai glanced indifferently at the people beside him, while Lu Yuanqing continued to talk about the next plan.
It's confirmed, he's definitely influenced by his surroundings.
……
Next, Zhao Zhongcai, determined not to stop until he got Xing Shen under control, went to the commune every day to bother Xing Shen.
Annoyed, Xing Shen thought, "..." He wanted to hit someone!
The affairs of the village were then handed over to Lu Yuanqing.
Farm work in the village is not easy now; for farmers, crops are the most important thing.
Therefore, even if one were to weave bamboo baskets, that would be something done after work.
Lu Pingsheng and his colleagues did the same; they didn't spend all their time on bamboo weaving.
They didn't have the time or the time, so even though all the permits for the bamboo ware factory were obtained, their village didn't officially build a factory. Instead, they used the warehouse as a temporary bamboo ware factory.
In the past, the houses where landlords lived were quite large, with many rooms.
Several rooms have now been designated as factory buildings.
Each room is responsible for one bamboo weaving technique.
What Lu Yuanqing cared about most was what Grandpa Xia was in charge of.
Grandpa Xia is not Xia Yongshou, but his cousin Xia Jinnian.
In later generations, Gao Di would also be the name of a male protagonist in a novel.
And Xia Jinnian's grandfather lived up to his name as a male protagonist; his craftsmanship truly amazed Lu Yuanqing.
