Chapter 438 The storm arises
"It's not too far, in Tangcheng in northern Hebei. If you read the newspaper, you should have noticed the plan that was announced.
The next development plan includes a major push to promote steel production.
Although Tangshan Iron and Steel's scale is not small in China, its production capacity still has great potential for improvement.
With the equipment manufactured in Northeast China basically in place, next year will be the time to achieve a major leap in steel production.”
Secretary Chen spoke with great excitement, saying that it could be expected that under such a situation, as long as no major problems arose, they would be able to take advantage of the situation.
He Yuzhu looked very clear about it. He had played a significant role in this and was very clear about the situation.
In addition to the large-scale expansion of Tangshan Iron and Steel, the existing steel plant projects have increased their construction plans.
Secretary Chen was able to get such a good job, it seems that the minister has put in a lot of effort.
Although he has good talents, there are many capable people waiting for such an important position.
When selecting from a group of people with the same qualifications, it all depends on your luck.
Luck is naturally unpredictable and random.
"Brother Chen, you have a bright future! Nowadays, steel and grain are equally important, and steel accounts for the largest share.
It seems that in a few years, your salary will rise sharply."
As he spoke, he bowed and said words of congratulations with a sincere smile on his face.
Even though he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, Secretary Chen still waved his hand and said something humble.
"No, no! We are going to the grassroots to contribute our own strength and build the country together.
Come~ let's stop talking about this and have some tea!"
He immediately raised his teacup to show his respect and sipped the tea happily.
He Yuzhu smiled slightly and took a sip of tea: "Okay! Then will my sister-in-law and the child come with us?"
"That's not necessary. This house will be taken back next year and I have already found another one.
When my son goes to technical secondary school, I will let him live in the school, and your sister-in-law can go with him."
The education level in this city is naturally better than that in other places, so there is no need to go back and forth like this.
The family’s salary income is enough to support the mother and daughter’s expenses, they just spend a little more.
Secretary Chen put down the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and spoke with a hint of anticipation.
"Zhu Zi, I want to ask you something..."
As expected, he was invited to come with a request. He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, but was not too surprised and nodded slightly.
Secretary Chen's expression relaxed a bit when he saw this, and he continued, "You've been in Harbin for several years, do you know anyone?
Steel or equipment factory or something, help me set up a connection."
"Oh, about that! I'm not lying to you, I do know some people.
But let me be frank with you: I can't make decisions for others.
If you would just give me a connection, I can write you a personal letter."
Seeing that he didn't know the inside story, He Yuzhu obviously wouldn't pat his chest and make any guarantees.
Although the two of them have some friendship, it is more because of Minister Fang.
Otherwise, why would he come to visit for the first time after returning to Beijing for several years?
Now I plan to help him make connections, since he is willing to introduce his friends to each other, so I can return the favor.
Secretary Chen showed a look of surprise, even though he had vaguely guessed something special about He Yuzhu.
Getting the promise in person confirmed my guess, and I gained a lot this time.
What he said just now were just polite words. How could he not care about his future?
He Yuzhu helped him make some connections, which will be of great help in his new position next year.
Projects are being carried out all over the country, and there is a shortage of equipment everywhere. Everyone wants to get more for themselves.
There are only so many self-produced devices, and there is a bargain in which one is decided first and which one is decided later.
If he could get in touch with them, at least he would have a foothold to exert his strength, and there would be great hope of leveraging the equipment distribution.
If we can really get the equipment first, the factory we manage will start production one day earlier.
If this isn't an achievement, then what else could it be?
"Okay, okay~"
Secretary Chen said hello three times in a row, his tone full of excitement, "Thank you so much, Zhuzi.
Just being able to strike up a conversation is enough, and I'll take care of the rest myself.
No matter what the final result is, I will always be grateful to you. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. "
He Yuzhu was about to say something when the sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the two men.
Seeing his sister-in-law come into the room, he looked at his watch and it was almost ten o'clock.
"Oh, it's almost time. Brother Chen, I'll go make the soup first. We'll continue our conversation later."
He gestured to Secretary Chen, then stood up and walked towards the door.
The room is not equipped with a separate kitchen, and the stove and other facilities are placed in the aisle, so you need to go out.
After having lunch at Chen's house, I received a lot of compliments.
By the time he rode his bike out of the courtyard gate, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
He Yuzhu rode on his bicycle and looked back at the units' staff buildings a few times, then gradually walked away and disappeared around the corner.
In the following days, Secretary Chen kept his promise and invited He Yuzhu many times on his weekends, and he got to know many people through the groups.
Most of them used to work in the Ministry of Heavy Industry, but are now distributed in several departments.
The remaining few are working in other places and return to Beijing to visit their relatives during the Spring Festival.
Drinking is inevitable at the dinner table, and he has gained basic recognition by relying on his cooking skills and drinking capacity.
I sacrificed my rest days, but it wasn't all in vain to gain these results.
Winter passed quickly, and as the temperature gradually rose, spring was here.
The setting sun shone on the old city. He Yuzhu followed the crowd leaving get off work and rode out of the office gate.
Today I didn't go to say hello to Uncle Zeng like I did in the past.
His brows were furrowed and he looked a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He rode his bike into the alley like an old horse who knew the way, and finally stopped steadily in front of his house.
Uncle Fang was sitting in front of the courtyard gate smoking a pipe. Seeing that he looked absent-minded, he called out to him loudly.
"Hey, we're home. Zhuzi, what happened to you today?"
Hearing the shout, He Yuzhu came to his senses and forced a smile.
"Uncle, nothing happened. I was just thinking about something."
Uncle Fang didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded and tapped the pipe in his hand.
"Okay, hurry into the yard! Don't think about those things. There is no hurdle that you can't overcome."
"Yeah, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. I'll go in and cook first~"
After entering the central courtyard, Feng Liping was washing vegetables by the sink, turning her head to look at the courtyard from time to time.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, as the brother and sister ran around happily, playing with their aunt.
"Brother, you're back! Go cook, I'm starving."
He Yushui heard the noise, turned around and saw He Yuzhu, and immediately told her brother to cook.
When the two kids heard the shouting, they immediately stopped fighting and ran towards He Yuzhu with their short legs.
"Dad~Dad~"
He Yuzhu didn't even bother to roll his eyes at He Yushui. He quickly squatted down and opened his arms to welcome his children.
"So good~"
He stood up holding one in each hand, lifting them both high, and his laughter like silver bells filled the entire courtyard.
I kissed each of their little cheeks, but there was no sign of Chen Xueru.
"Tongtong, where's your mother? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Tongtong grabbed He Yuzhu's ears with her little hands and shook her head repeatedly: "No~"
