The Ahead-Tracked Public-Private Partnership, and the Arrival of Factory Director Yang

Chapter 112 The Ahead-Tracked Public-Private Partnership, and the Arrival of Factory Director Yang

Cao Wei knew very well that he couldn't change much.

Or rather, the wheels of history never stop for any one person.

Lou Bancheng deliberately opened his mouth, seemingly to test the waters and complain.

In fact, Cao Wei was even certain that Lou Bancheng had already made up his mind.

By voluntarily donating the steel rolling mill to the state, perhaps they can preserve their current status.

But this is like someone in a high position having to voluntarily give up their position.

Isn't this just like cutting flesh off his body?

It's like suddenly putting a normal person who's used to a normal life into a life of poverty.

For someone like Lou Bancheng, giving up the steel rolling mill was tantamount to giving up power.

The other party is probably already thinking about it, and Cao Wei is well aware that his words can only help the other party do this a little earlier.

That's all there is to it.

After muttering those words, Lou Bancheng gave a self-deprecating laugh but didn't say anything more.

After Cao Wei left, Lou Bancheng went into the study, and Lou Tanshi served him a cup of tea.

He took a deep breath before speaking.

"I've made up my mind. Things are different now."

Upon hearing this, Lou Tanshi was briefly shocked, but couldn't help but subconsciously ask a follow-up question.

"Are you kidding me?"

Then, as if remembering something, he couldn't help but continue.

"Is it because of that kid? You think his words are just—"

As soon as Cao Wei finished speaking, Lou Bancheng made up his mind, which made it really hard for Lou Tanshi not to think in this direction.

But before he could finish speaking, Lou Bancheng simply shook his head with a hint of bitterness.

"I've heard some rumors from above, and everyone's watching and waiting, but what's the use?"

This is a decision made by the higher-ups, and it's not something we can change. Xiao Cao's judgment is indeed very sharp, but this is just what made me make up my mind.

"Maybe I'm the first to do this, and those guys will criticize me behind my back, but maybe doing this will make our lives easier from now on. Don't forget what happened before."

As he spoke, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but recall his experiences over the past two years.

Or rather, the experience after liberation, where the land held by the landlords who had entrenched themselves in the countryside gradually returned to the hands of the peasants.

Although he has gradually moved in this direction since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still retains a large portion of the power.

This time, he was well aware that since the higher-ups had made up their minds, he might as well take the lead and perhaps continue to live peacefully.

After hearing this, Lou Tan sighed silently and said nothing more.

There's nothing they can do; in the face of the tides of time, even they are ultimately just slightly larger ants.

On the other side, Cao Wei rode his bicycle and arrived in the courtyard.

But by some strange coincidence, they ran into someone, and that person was none other than...

It was Yi Zhonghai. The two met briefly, exchanged a glance, and didn't even say a word.

Yi Zhonghai left just like that. Looking at the other person, who was limping a bit, Cao Wei couldn't help but sneer.

That's right, after I found out last time that the other person was actually doing well.

His hand wasn't greatly affected, so he simply struck Yi Zhonghai's leg with the stick again in the middle of the night.

As it turned out, the other party still seemed to be perfectly fine.

However, he was left with some leg problems.

After that incident, Cao Wei simply stopped making any more moves.

At least in his opinion, the other party should have learned his lesson by now, right?

After that, he went into the courtyard and saw Qin Huairu still busy working by the washing machine.

However, unlike before, this time when Qin Huairu saw him, she simply greeted him.

This made Cao Wei raise an eyebrow. Since that incident, Qin Huairu had also received Yi Zhonghai's assistance.

Perhaps because that incident taught Qin Huairu a lesson, the other party no longer dared to treat her the same way they treated Sha Zhu in the original story.

They didn't even dare to come closer.

Cao Wei returned home and heated up some food.

Amidst the fragrant aroma, a sudden commotion erupted from the Jia family home.

"Waaaaah, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

The chubby little boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut rolling around on the kang (heated brick bed) in the Jia family's house right now is none other than...

It turned out to be Bang Geng, who is now over three years old.

As for why she could maintain her obesity even after leaving Sha Zhu's assistance, it was naturally inseparable from Yi Zhonghai's support over the years.

Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi stared at the Cao family's direction with resentful eyes and couldn't help but try to persuade Bang Geng.

"Good boy, that little beast Cao's meat is rotten, poisonous, and inedible."

"You're lying! How could something that smells so good be poisonous?"

Banggeng, however, was pouting.

Even though she was only three years old, she had already inherited that clever and mischievous personality.

At this moment, Qin Huairu couldn't help but add another sentence.

"Hey, look at those rat poisons, aren't they the same? Some of them smell really good."

Upon hearing this, Bang Geng seemed to begin to reflect.

Just as he was about to continue crying and making a fuss, Jia Dongxu slammed his hand on the table and glared at Bang Geng.

"If you keep making a scene, you're not eating!"

It was this angry rebuke that made Bang Geng wipe away his tears and silently gnaw on the steamed buns made from two kinds of flour on the table.

The next day, a major event quickly followed.

At the entrance of the steel rolling mill, a military vehicle arrived.

Lou Bancheng, accompanied by his superiors, has arrived here.

As the door opened, a man who looked to be around forty years old stepped out.

Upon seeing this person, Lou Bancheng's beaming smile made him take a few steps forward, and the person in turn stepped forward as well.

This person couldn't help but shake hands with Lou Bancheng, expressing equally enthusiastically, "Comrade Lou, your generous act has set a good precedent for our country and our Party."

Lou Bancheng felt a pang of bitterness upon hearing this.

If Cao Wei hadn't reminded him, he might have continued to hesitate for a while longer. But he also knew very well that this period of hesitation couldn't last long.

Lou Bancheng then looked at the other party and began to introduce him to his subordinates.

"Hehe, it's all for the sake of common development, everyone. This is Mr. Yang Hua."

And Yang Hua? Looking at these people, he coughed lightly and then said.

"Hello everyone, I was sent by the committee."

And who among those who are standing at this door today isn't a shrewd and capable person?

They had all heard about it beforehand, and the Yang Hua who appeared today was none other than Director Yang, who had succeeded Lou Bancheng as factory director.

Yang Hua wasn't the only one who got out of the car, but the others remained silent.

Afterwards, led by Lou Bancheng, the group of people came to the venue and conducted a brief inspection.

Instead of going outside, they went inside and had the factory cook prepare a simple meal.

As Director Yang ate his meal, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

"This dish is just so-so."

After all, for Director Yang, someone at his level shouldn't be eating at this level, even if he doesn't go out to eat specifically.

Lou Bancheng shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, then seemed to remember something and said...

"The original chef has resigned, but if you'd like, I can help you find a new chef, though it depends on whether he's willing to come."

These words piqued Director Yang's interest, and he continued to inquire.

"Oh? Where is the chef from?"

"That's the head chef at Fengzeyuan, but he's a bit young."

Upon hearing the name of the head chef at Fengzeyuan, Director Yang's expression immediately turned serious.

You know, the head chef of a restaurant of Fengzeyuan's caliber must have exceptional skills.

As for his later age, he selectively ignored it.

However, as the person about to take over the steel rolling mill, he did not immediately agree to the person recommended by Lou Bancheng, but couldn't help but continue.

"Could we invite him over to cook a couple of dishes?"

Lou Bancheng nodded with pleasure, and on that very day, he officially became a director at the meeting, and the steel rolling mill was renamed Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
