Chapter 13 Exchanges

Half an hour later, Lu's father and son came to the cadre building behind Liufang Park with gifts of tobacco and alcohol.

This piece is all a small courtyard, which can enjoy convenient transportation and is very quiet, and belongs to the best location of the entire Liufang Mill District.

Many factory leaders live here, and I heard that it was built to house retired cadres, but the vast majority of those who actually live here are the families of current cadres.

Ding-dong!

Lu Youshan stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell of Director Zhao's house, and a low barking of dogs immediately came from the small courtyard.

A big oily wolf dog rushed into the yard and barked at the Lu father and son outside the door.

"Duoduo, get out of the way! It's Lao Lu coming? Wait, wait, I'm going to open the door!"

Talking in the courtyard was the wife of Director Zhao, a short, stocky middle-aged woman surnamed Hu, who was currently the director of the Party and Mass Office in the factory.

This Mrs. Zhao has a very loud nickname in the factory, known as the female beard, which means female bandit.

I heard that she turned her face faster than turning a book, and when she asked for help, she greeted her with a smile, and she wanted to be closer than her own sisters, but once this person had no use value for her, she was immediately not as good as a stranger, and she didn't care about it.

Mrs. Zhao opened the iron door with a smile and welcomed the Lu father and son in.

The living room of the Zhao family is very large, enough to cover two-thirds of the area of Lu Menglin's family, and on the wall opposite the door is a "Goshawk Catching Rabbits", which shows the ferocity of the eagle vividly with extremely expressive brushstrokes, and a bad breath comes to the face.

The leather sofa combination in the living room is worth a lot of money at a glance, and the imported audio equipment hanging on the walls around it looks very trendy, and everywhere shows the wealth of the factory director's family.

Located next to the dark glass coffee table in the center of the living room, factory director Zhao Yuanchao and another tall and thin middle-aged man were already tasting tea.

"Old Lu, you're so late, you'll have to be punished for wine later!" When Director Zhao saw Lu Youshan arrive, he immediately stood up with a smile to greet him as a sign of respect.

This small action of getting up made Lu Youshan's heart tremble slightly, and he hurriedly strode up to meet him, laughing and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Zhao, who is this?"

"Haha! He is the director of the Municipal Education Commission I mentioned to you, everyone is their own people, you are welcome, sit, sit!" Director Zhao greeted very affectionately.

Director Wang of the Municipal Education Commission didn't even lift his buttocks, but just nodded slightly at Lu Youshan to show hello.

People work in the Municipal Education Commission, the shelf is naturally larger, although Liufang is directly subordinate to the provincial textile bureau of state-owned enterprises, but all say that "the county officials are not as good as the current management", the Municipal Education Commission is responsible for the management of the city's schools and teachers, the power in the hands is obviously much more popular than the Liufang cadres.

No wonder people can become the guests of Director Zhao, and Lu Youshan also feels that he has something to ask for this time, and his attitude is even more humble.

"Menglin, come and say hello to the two uncles. Lu Youshan hurriedly called at his son.

Lu Menglin was helpless, so he had to step forward and nodded, pretending to be very well-behaved and said, "Hello uncle!"

"Hehe! Xiao Lu has grown so big, he looks like a talent!" Zhao Yuanchao smiled casually.

"Xiao Lu is a sophomore in high school this year, right?," Zhao Yuanchao asked with a smile.

As soon as this question came out, Lu Youshan's face suddenly became slightly embarrassed.

In his impression, his son's grades have always been at the bottom, and he is really embarrassed to say it in public.

Lu Menglin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's okay." ”

Zhao Yuanchao and Director Wang looked at each other and smiled, and consciously stopped mentioning this topic, but they had more disdain when they looked at Lu Menglin.

Obviously, they have heard a little about Lu Menglin's usual results.

After a while, the wine and food were served one after another, and the table was full.

Lu Menglin glanced at it silently, and found that most of the dishes on the table were braised vegetables bought from the market, such as pig ears, sauced beef, etc., and the only dish he really cooked was a pot of white fungus lotus seed soup.

After chatting a few words, the three adults had already begun to push the cup and change the lamp, and the atmosphere of talking became more and more lively.

"Youshan, we are fellow countrymen, and we have been friends for many years, Ming people don't say secret words, I plan to move your place and let you go to a good place. Zhao Yuanchao took advantage of the wine and said happily.

When Lu Youshan heard this, his face remained silent, and he just nodded silently.

"Do you know that the factory is about to make a big move? The main factory is going to fully spread the sales of products, and we plan to go to Guangdong to set up a sales center, I want you to be the general manager of the sales department, what do you think?" Zhao Yuanchao said with a smile.

When Lu Youshan heard this proposal, his brain buzzed suddenly, and his eyes became hot.

Now everyone knows that after so many years of reform and opening up, the economic form of the south is very good, far beyond the north and the Central Plains, if the factory really wants to go to Guangdong to set up a sales center, it is bound to find new sales for the products in the factory, and the general manager of this sales center is definitely a hot key position.

"Brother Zhao said with a smile, how can I Lu Youshan, this position of general manager only be afraid that many people in the factory want to fight, right?" Lu Youshan said with a wry smile.

He knows very well that although his business ability is excellent, the relationship with the leadership team of the general factory is not so good, and in the eyes of the superior leaders, he is at most a marginal person who can solve problems. Like the last time the factory sent cadres to Japan for inspection, they did not have their own share.

And he knows that Zhao Yuanchao also has to think about his own team, how can such a big benefit be his turn.

Zhao Yuanchao seemed to see the concerns in Lu Youshan's heart, and raised his glass and said: "Brother Youshan, you have been in the factory for more than 20 years, and everyone knows your ability, do you know why you have not been able to rise?"

Lu Youshan bowed his head and was silent, it was difficult to answer this sentence.

"Just because you don't stand in line, you won't rely on any side! So no matter which faction gains power, it will squeeze you out! You, the so-called gentleman who is not a party, are really too naΓ―ve!" Zhao Yuanchao pretended to be distressed.

"This is the general manager responsibility of the sales center, you take a look at it first, if there is no problem, sign it! Zhao Yuanchao narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

Lu Youshan took the letter of responsibility of the general manager, and at the same time he was very happy in his heart, but he was also a little confused, how could such a good errand fall on his head all of a sudden?

Lu Menglin next to him lowered his head, pretending to be careless about picking up vegetables, but the corner of his eyes was staring at the manager's responsibility letter tightly.

After my father signed it, he was firmly controlled by them, became a puppet used by Zhao Yuanchao, wantonly embezzled state-owned assets, and finally became a pitiful scapegoat.

"Lao Lu! When you become the general manager of the sales center, your salary will be calculated according to the standards of Guangdong! This time it has at least quadrupled compared to now. It took me a lot of effort to get it for you. Zhao Yuanchao said with a smile.

Lu Youshan nodded again and again, and a sense of knowing suddenly appeared in his chest.

After all, my son is a sophomore in high school this year, and after the college entrance examination next year, the family will have a lot of expenses, and now the salary has doubled at this time, which is definitely a real attraction for him.

"In order to support you, the new official, I also specially helped you negotiate a big business in advance. Our Director Wang has a relative who is doing big business in Hong Kong and is very interested in our textile industry, and when you go to Guangdong to take office, he will contact you, and everyone will take care of you!" Zhao Yuanchao said with a smile.

At this time, Director Wang also nodded and agreed: "My relative has a very big business, and he has a wide range of contacts in Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia, and he is also very generous, so everyone will have money to earn together." ”

Zhao Yuanchao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come, let's go! Happy cooperation!"

The three big men raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Lao Lu, you have booksigned this responsibility, and this matter is settled! We will be in the same boat in the future! Your business is our business!" Zhao Yuanchao said, glancing at Director Wang.

Director Wang personally picked up the wine glass at this time, and saluted Lu Youshan: "Old Lu, since we are our own people in the future, Ming people don't say secret words, and when your son finishes the college entrance examination next year, I will find a way for him to go to college." ”
