It was April 1985.

On April Fool's Day, in an office in Shekou Industrial Park, Li Huayong, Deng Chaoqun, Li Erzi, as well as Li Mingda, the foreman of the "Pengcheng World Trade Center" project department, and Du Guangnian, a steel bar worker, were receiving education from the organization.

Old man Cai was sitting on it, and the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee even sent a cadre engaged in foreign affairs:

"When you go to Xiangjiang this time, you must pay attention to your image, you must abide by discipline, balabala....."

Going to Xiangjiang this year is no different from going abroad. Therefore, when carrying out the "foreign affairs discipline education", except for Li Huayong's carelessness, even Li Erzi listened seriously with a serious face.

Of course, Li Huayong and others did not really go to Hong Kong to engage in diplomacy this time, and they could not even be called official business. Strictly speaking, this is actually the "Lin Group" privately inviting everyone to travel. Therefore, the "foreign affairs discipline education" is very simple, and the cadre from the city will stay for about 10 minutes, and after a few simple explanations, he will leave and leave.

"Mr. Cai, no, no, it's time to call Director Cai, Bureau Cai, then let's go. ”

Of course, the only one who dared to joke with Old Man Cai like this was Li Huayong. Since resigning as a model worker, Li Huayong has actually expressed his heart to Old Man Cai: he is not ready to enter the system. Since this is no longer ready to enter the system, although it is likely that he will continue to mix under Old Man Cai in the future, some harmless jokes can still be made.

"Dunzi, you guy. Old man Cai scolded with a smile, and he rarely spoke in a joking tone:

"Since you know how to call me the director, then don't delay me when you go to have fun this time!"

Li Huayong said with a hippie smile:

"It's Mr. Deng and Li Gong's business this time, I'm mainly going to play, well, eat and drink and have fun, this is my main task this time. Isn't it, Master Du? ”

Old Du smiled at Li Huayong, but because of the presence of Old Man Cai, Master Du's smile seemed restrained.

Old man Cai shook his head helplessly: "You kid." ”

The "business" that Old Man Cai said is, of course, the overall relocation of a factory of the "Lin Group". And the reason why these 5 people went this time was that "Huaxia Jianzong" regarded going to Xiangjiang as a kind of welfare. Because Li Huayong gave up the model worker, and Li Er was stunned and didn't know what to think, he actually gave up the model worker. The two vacant places were replaced by Li Mingda and Du Guangnian. This time, they were asked to go to Xiangjiang, which had a sense of "rewarding meritorious deeds".

In the just ended March, a lot of big things happened around Li Huayong.

First of all, on the side of "Huaxia Construction General Administration", with the successful capping of the "Pengcheng World Trade Center", it can be regarded as a perfect end to the "three-day layer". In addition, after dealing with the emergency at the Shekou construction site, the long-rumored "Huajian Ninth Bureau" was finally established.

Old man Cai served as the first director of the "Huajian Ninth Bureau", while Gao Qigong and Lei Jianjun served as deputy directors respectively. However, although they both serve as deputy directors, the division of labor between the two is still different.

While serving as the deputy director, Lao Gao also served as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the "Huajian Ninth Bureau". In addition to the deputy director, Lao Lei also has a title, that is, "General Manager of the First Engineering Company of Huajian Ninth Bureau".

Seeing such a division of labor, many people think that Lei Jianjun has suffered a loss, because judging from the announced leadership rankings, Lao Lei is not only still ranked behind Lao Gao, but more importantly, the entire engineering bureau is currently in the initial stage, so he, the "general manager of the first engineering company", is more like a leather bag company.

But Li Huayong doesn't think so. On the contrary, he felt that it was precisely this kind of arrangement, and Lao Lei would definitely have a better future than Lao Gao in the future. That's a lot of things within the system.

To give you a simple example, if there is a vacancy in the division commander of a division commander and the chief of staff of a division in the army, who do you think is more likely to become the division commander? Those who have been in the army will tell you that the probability of the division chief of staff taking over is more than 80 percent.

This is the case in the army, so in a large construction central enterprise such as "Huaxia Construction General", the principle of promotion is similar.

After talking about "Huaxia Construction General", let's take a look at Xiangjiang's "Lin Group". In the just-ended March, the "Lin Group" can be regarded as showing a good face in China. The reason why they showed their faces was the "sending pennants" behavior that everyone had made up before. Lao Lu and the others listened to the suggestions of Li Huayong, Lei Jianjun and others, and made the entire "sending pennant" activity vigorous and high-profile.

In Yangcheng, in Shaoguan, where they send the pennant, they also bring media reporters. Especially when Lao Lu sent the pennant to Master Tang in Shaoguan, it even attracted reporters from the imperial court to come for an interview.

Li Huayong saw this report on the "evening news" of the imperial court station. Seeing the appearance of Lao Lu and Master Tang when he shook hands, Li Huayong sighed in his heart: Tsk, why don't you often say that life is like a drama all depends on acting skills? Looking at Lao Lu's acting skills, it is definitely a bargain.

Lao Lu's acting skills are not limited to this, after sending the pennant, he made a high-profile overture to the mainland on behalf of the "Lin Group", declaring that he has confidence in the mainland and that their "Lin Group" will continue to expand the scale of investment in the mainland.

As a clear proof of "expanding investment," under the flashing lights of many media, Lao Lu represented the "Lin Group" and Cai Lao Tou represented the "Huaxia Construction Group," and they pretended to sign a "strategic cooperation agreement" announcing that a factory of the "Lin Group" in Xiangjiang would be relocated to the Shekou Industrial Park in Pengcheng as a whole, and that the Huaxia Construction Corporation on the mainland would be the general contractor of the project.

Whether it is acting or showing, but in any case, it is of great significance to the newly established "Huajian Ninth Bureau", which is basically equivalent to a "good start", so the top and bottom attach great importance to it, when signing the contract, not only the head office sent many people, but the old man Cai is personally involved in the whole process.

Of course, Old Man Cai knows who has the greatest credit for signing such a contract. Therefore, he has always been serious, and it is rare for him to look kind at this time.

"Ayong, are you ready?"

It was Lin Wei who came in.

"Yo, Director Lin, this is here, are you going to be a guide yourself?"

"Yes, this girl is the guide herself, so I'm satisfied. ”

Li Huayong joked with Lin Wei familiarly, like Deng Chaoqun, he didn't care much about it, but the others were different, especially Lao Du, his eyes were bigger than eggs.

Lin Wei greeted the others again:

"If there's nothing else to do, then let's go, shall we?"

"Let's go. ”

"Let's go. ”

"Let's take a walk and get a glimpse of the world of capitalism. ”

"Hahaha Li Er was stunned, what you said is not right. ”

"What should I say then?"

"You should say criticism, and you should look at the rotten world of capitalism with a critical eye. ”

After the crossing, Li Huayong set foot in Xiangjiang for the first time.
