Chapter 531 Factory Opening



Chapter 531 Factory Opening

Xu Yuefang has always wanted to repay the Zhou family's favor, but she couldn't find a chance. After listening to Xiao Jingjing's idea, she promised to invite Ruan Yujie and Qin Haiyan's father to "show support" and she would do her best.

Ruan Yujie's father went to Kyoto for a meeting. Qin Haiyan's father Qin Shaoxue is currently in Jiangcheng and has been promoted to vice governor. Xu Yuefang went to invite him in person.

Xiao Songbai and Xu Yuefang had solved many troubles for Qin Shaoxue before. He also admired the abilities of the three sisters of the Zhou family and agreed to attend the opening ceremony of the "Victory Non-staple Food Processing Factory" on June 6.

Since we are going to "show support", we should show due pomp and circumstance.

Qin Shaoxue asked his secretary to call the Qingping County Government and told him that he was going to the countryside to investigate the development of township enterprises. He heard that a brigade in Hong'an Commune had joined forces with villagers to set up a factory, so he planned to visit it.

The county magistrate who answered the phone was surprised and happy, and said that the factory had not yet opened for business and would officially open on June 6.

The secretary asked them if it would be convenient for them to attend the opening ceremony.

The county magistrate was so happy that he could hardly hold the microphone steadily, and repeatedly expressed his welcome to the provincial leaders to inspect the work.

After the call ended, the county magistrate reported the matter to the county party secretary.

The secretary immediately convened a meeting and asked all cadres to stop their work and prepare to welcome the vice governor to the countryside.

Zhou Jiaxing originally planned to make another trip to the commune and the county a week before the opening to invite leaders to attend the opening ceremony and hint to them that cadres from the provincial capital would also attend.

Before he took any action, people from the commune and the county came and said that the vice governor was coming to inspect and instructed them how to hold a welcoming ceremony.

Zhou Chuanyi had not expected that the vice governor would come to attend the opening ceremony of their factory. He quickly gathered the gongs, drums and suonas of the entire brigade together according to the requirements of the county and the commune, and asked them to rehearse. He also asked some women to fold red flowers and make ribbons...

In addition to informing the county government, Qin Shaoxue also asked his secretary to contact the newspaper to do an exclusive interview.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhou's father and mother lived with Zhou Rong in Chen Mansion.

Upon learning that the new factory would open on the 18th, they also wanted to go back to join in the fun.

Zhou Rong chartered two taxis and rushed back to Zhoujiawan early in the morning of June 6 with Zhou Gui, Zhou Cai, Zhou's father and mother.

This was the second time Zhou's father had ridden in a car. He said with emotion, "This car is more comfortable than a truck. It doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, nor does it need to eat dust. It's just too expensive."

Zhou Rong sat in the same car with his father and mother, and said with a smile: "A car has tens of thousands of parts, and the cost of manufacturing it is hundreds of thousands. If we don't charge a higher price, the country will lose money."

Zhou's mother: "We don't sit much on weekdays, so we can't create benefits for the country. We can only let those wealthy businessmen contribute more to the country."

Since there were strangers in the car, Zhou Rong didn't dare to tell him that she would buy a car in the future. She chatted with Zhou's father and mother about other topics and soon arrived at the territory of Hong'an Commune.

In the eyes of ordinary people, cars are currently only used by officials. Highway robbers dare not provoke officials. After seeing them from afar, they all hide in the woods. Zhou Rong and his car did not encounter any trouble along the way.

The road from the commune to Shengli Brigade passes through Zhoujiawan.

As soon as Zhou Rong and his group's car appeared, the person standing guard in front thought it was the vice governor's car, and hurriedly waved a flag. Soon, gongs and drums sounded and firecrackers rang out.

Father Zhou asked Zhou Rong in surprise: "Why are we given such a big show when we come back?"

"Not that much."

After Zhou Rong finished speaking, he told the driver to drive faster and stuck his head out of the window, trying to find someone familiar to ask about the situation.

Zhou Jiaxing learned that the leader had arrived, so he rode his bicycle to greet her. Seeing Zhou Rong sitting on the bicycle, he smiled and said, "Sister Darong, welcome back to attend our opening ceremony."

Zhou Rong: "Has the ceremony already started? Why are they setting off firecrackers now?"

Zhou Jiaxing: "The vice governor is coming to inspect, and the county and the commune asked us to hold a grand welcoming ceremony. The sentry probably didn't see clearly and thought your car belonged to the vice governor and his team, so he waved the flag in advance."

There are several deputy governors. Zhou Rong asked, "Do you know which one it is?"

Zhou Jiaxing: "I don't know the specific name, but I heard from the county leaders that it was Vice Governor Qin."

The only deputy governor with the surname Qin is Qin Shaoxue. Zhou Rong guessed that someone must have asked him to come out and "show support", otherwise, with his level, he would not pay attention to the opening ceremony of a small factory.

Zhou Rong didn't know who was helping him secretly, so he planned to find out later.

"The leader should be at the back. If you set off the firecrackers in advance, will there not be enough later?"

Zhou Jiaxing: "We bought a lot, enough. If you, Sigui and Wucai can come back today, our Zhoujiawan will be more prestigious. You can also enjoy the pomp and ceremony that the vice governor should have. Come on, I will lead the way for you."

After passing Zhoujiawan, both sides of the road were filled with banners welcoming the leaders, and the villagers each held a red flower or a ribbon and waved them there.

Zhou Jiaxing rode his bicycle in front and waved his hand. Everyone immediately shouted: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

The county leaders need to wait for Qin Shaoxue at the county government, and he has not come yet.

Zhou Chuanyi and the leaders of the commune heard the shouting and hurried to the roadside to greet them.

After Zhou Rong and his companions' car stopped, everyone got out. The commune party committee secretary standing at the front froze for a moment when he saw that the person was not the vice governor, but soon returned to normal.

Zhou Gui is currently the deputy director of the Jiangcheng Finance Bureau, and Zhou Cai has been promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Taxation Bureau. Even though Zhou Rong has retired, her network of contacts is still there. The commune secretary dared not offend the three of them and shook hands with them warmly one by one and said a series of polite words.

After everyone exchanged some business, the person on guard waved the flag again, and someone came to report that a car and a bus were coming.

Zhou Rong: "This time it should be Governor Qin and his party. Let's go and greet them together."

Zhou Chuanyi quickly asked everyone to move.

Amid the sound of drums and firecrackers, Qin Shaoxue's car stopped in front of the gate of the new factory.

As soon as he got off the car, the commune secretary came to greet him and introduced the situation of the factory.

Qin Shaoxue nodded in response from time to time and gave a few compliments.

Qin Shaoxue saw Zhou Rong in the crowd and took the initiative to greet him: "Are you back to attend the ceremony as well?"

Zhou Rong: "Well, my hometown is getting better and better. I have opened my own factory. I came back to visit with my two sisters."

Qin Shaoxue: "The development here is really good and worthy of emulation by other regions."

Zhou Rong: "This is all due to the good policies of the country and the joint efforts of leaders and fellow villagers. This also illustrates a saying that only by working in the right direction can we achieve success."

The reporter wrote this down and planned to use it as the title of the news release...

The cadres present were all smart people. From the conversation between Qin Shaoxue and Zhou Rong, they came to the conclusion that Qin Shaoxue came to attend today's opening ceremony most likely for Zhou Rong's face.

Zhoujiawan and Shengli Brigade are incredible. With the vice governor as their backer, they will definitely have a bright future. I will interact with them more in the future...
