Chapter 1277 We cannot sit idly by and wait to die!
No specific details about the meeting in Changwu City have been released; only the attendees know the situation at the time, and there is no information available to the outside world.
Meanwhile, things at Zhongjiang No. 1 Steel Plant showed no signs of stopping, and everything was proceeding according to the original plan.
After the meeting, Director Ma left the government compound, neither returning to his office nor going home. Instead, he went to a teahouse and entered a private room.
"General Manager Zhao, General Manager Ma, my proposal was not approved. The city's intention is to continue with the original plan!" Director Ma said to the two general managers sitting opposite him.
"Heh, it seems the person who acquired Zhongjiang No. 1 Steel has some powerful connections!" Zhao Xiaosheng's sinister eyes and forced smile made him look every bit the villain.
“They were able to persuade the provincial authorities directly from Shanghai. Could they have done that without connections? It seems we have no choice but to follow the arrangements and accept the compensation terms set by the city!” Ma Jin also laughed.
"Hmph, no matter who he is, once he comes to Changwu City, he'll be treated like a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down! In this small corner of Changwu City, do they think they can snatch such a big piece of fat meat without going through our Zhao family? They must be blind!" Zhao Xiaosheng's face trembled with fleshy muscles, and the fierce light in his eyes was undisguised.
"What else do you want to do?" Ma Jin asked curiously.
“According to the city’s plan, isn’t it to acquire the land first, build the new steel plant, and then demolish the old one? Well, let’s let them build the factory first, and then we’ll make our move when their investment is already in place and they’re only half-finished!” Zhao Xiaosheng said with a smile. However, the coldness in his eyes seemed even more pronounced than before.
"President Zhao, this project is a key project for the city this year, or even in the next few years! Who would dare to obstruct it?" Director Ma said somewhat nervously.
"Of course the government wouldn't dare to take any action, but what's wrong with the people pursuing their own interests? We can't sacrifice the interests of the people to benefit others, can we? What would that make us?" Zhao Xiaosheng said with a hearty laugh.
"Isn't that too risky?" Ma Jin asked.
"So these next few days are crucial for us to investigate the company's background! We must go all out, or this piece of meat will slip away!" Zhao Xiaosheng said.
Ma Jin and Director Ma both looked at Zhao Xiaosheng with great curiosity. Zhao Xiaosheng whispered some instructions, and finally the three of them left the tea room separately.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, a new group company had been established, shareholders had signed agreements, and funds had been secured.
The company has set up a board of directors, with Tan Zongming serving as the first chairman and Wen Huixin serving as the president.
After so many years of training, Wen Huixin has grown up completely. She is not only the general manager of the new Zhongjiang Steel Plant, but also the general manager of Daixi Shipping Company and the deputy general manager of Xu Banxia Storage Yard!
This arrangement was made partly because the Zhao family couldn't directly intervene, and partly because Wen Huixin's abilities were recognized by everyone, including Tan Zongming.
"Xiaowen, I'm leaving the things in Zhongjiang to you from now on. You can act with confidence. Weicheng and Xiaona will report to Changwu City in a week. Remember to discuss things with Weicheng then!" Wei Hong looked at the girl in front of her, who was much older than her but already capable of handling things on her own, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration.
When Wen Huixin was brought back to the mainland by Daisy, she was only nineteen years old. Now, many years have passed and she has grown up.
"Sister Hong, don't worry, I will definitely do this job well!" Wen Huixin looked at Wei Hong and made a firm promise.
"Alright, the plane's here, hurry up and go!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Big sister, this is the only person I can trust, why did you lend him to them?" Daisy said, somewhat unhappy.
“You know, shipping companies have established systems, you just need to follow them, don’t worry about not being able to handle it! If you can’t even handle this, then you should hurry back to Beiping to take care of the kids!” Wei Hong said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh dear, big sister, you're really going to be so heartless. All these years of me being there for you have been for nothing!" Daisy pouted.
"Alright, if you want to act cute, go home and act cute with Wei Qing! He falls for that!" Wei Hong said irritably, then took the lead and walked out of the airport.
At a military base in Northeast China, Wei Cheng and Shi Xiaona were packing their luggage in the military compound.
"Brother Cheng, do you think it's okay for us to leave the army like this?" Shi Xiaona looked at the place where she had lived for several years and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Don't think so much anymore! Everything's been arranged by the family. I'll be the police chief in Changwu City, and you'll be the union chairman in Changwu City! We can finally enjoy some time alone together!" Wei Cheng said to Shi Xiaona with a big smile.
"How is it?" Although they have been married for a long time and their child is already quite grown up, the couple's relationship is still incredibly good.
Soon, some awkward sounds came from inside. The comrades who had originally wanted to help Wei Cheng were now standing at the entrance of the compound, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This Wei Cheng, he's really letting himself go since he changed careers!" the man said with a laugh.
“Oh, it’s understandable. After all, they’re leaving tonight, and there’s bound to be something they’re reluctant to do!” another comrade said.
"I heard that Wei Cheng's transfer to civilian work this time was arranged by his grandfather?" a comrade asked.
“That’s right. Old Master Wei Cheng is still in office and holds a very high rank. Plus, his family has three generals. Wei Cheng has reached the age where he can’t be promoted anymore,” the first comrade said with a wry smile.
"Sigh, it's not good when someone is too outstanding. Who would have thought that the old master of the Zhao family was so capable, and that his son would be just as capable!"
An hour later, with the enthusiastic help of his comrades, Wei Cheng finally got into a car heading to the airport. Luckily, his flight was at night, otherwise the ticket would have been wasted.
Of course, Wei Cheng also suffered a lot of punches, kicks, and verbal attacks from Shi Xiaona along the way.
"Honey, do you think Xiaomin will just run back to Beijing and leave Weifu here since we're the only ones left here?" Wei Cheng asked helplessly in an attempt to distract Shi Xiaona.
"Haha, Xiaomin went back to Beiping long before us. Weifu usually stays in Jieshi and rarely comes back. Xiaomin really should go back to Beiping. I heard that Aunt Zao wants Xiaomin to take over her position as the director of the neighborhood committee!" Shi Xiaona said with a smile.
"Xiaomin as the neighborhood committee director? Aunt Zao really dares to dream!" Wei Cheng said with a look of shock.
"What's so bad about that? I'm already the union chairman, so what's wrong with Xiaomin being the neighborhood committee director?" Shi Xiaona said, her face full of indignation.
