He is over 70 years old, his body is still relatively healthy, and his life is very regular. After that, I walked back and forth in the courtyard of the Baozhou Hotel, about half an hour of activity, finished breakfast, listened to the secretary read documents and newspapers for 30 minutes, and then slowly paced to the reception room.

At this time, Liu Jincai, secretary of the municipal party committee, Shi Rongxuan, mayor of Baozhou City, and other leading comrades of Baozhou City, under the leadership of Long Tiejun, secretary of the provincial political and legal committee, had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

"Hello Lai!"

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Lao has been engaged in organizational and discipline inspection work for a long time, and has developed the habit of being taciturn and not smiling.

"Mr. Li, I was originally scheduled to inspect Xiangyang County's high-tech development zone and Tengfei Industrial Corporation today, do you want to change this itinerary?"

Long Tiejun asked with a smile.

Long Tiejun is also a person in his sixties, and he is a veteran army cadre who has made military exploits, and Li Lao treats him differently from others, smiles slightly, and says: "Don't change it easily." Let's get out of here. ”

"Okay."

Li Lao went to the station, and the secretary habitually stepped forward to help, and Li Lao said lightly: "I'm okay myself." ”

The secretary withdrew his hand, and there was not the slightest hint of displeasure on his face.

This is also a trick of officialdom. As the secretary of the Lao Di. How could he not know what Li Laodi's physical condition was? But do leaders need to be supported and whether you take the initiative to support. It's two different things. The former represents the facts. After the representative attitude. If you're mistaken. There is a great inconvenience.

"This. There's no need for so many people to accompany me, an old man. It's good for Lao Long and Comrade Liu Jincai to stay. Other comrades. Do what you have to do, and do what you want. Don't delay your work. ”

Li Lao's eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces. Except for Long Tiejun and Dad. Everyone lowered their heads slightly in fear.

"Good ground. We obey the command of Li Laodi. Mayor Rongxuan. You and your comrades should go back. Secretary Long and I just need to accompany Elder Li to inspect. ”

Dad wasn't much polite. Instructions were given to everyone.

As soon as Shi Rongxuan did it, he said goodbye to Li Lao.

Li Lao and his entourage went out to the lobby of the Baozhou Hotel, just as Ben Yanei and Shen Jun accompanied Bai Yang to register and arrange accommodation. As soon as Bai Yang saw Li Lao, he immediately took a few steps forward and bowed to greet him: "Hello Li Lao!" ”

Li Lao was slightly surprised and asked, "Are you?" ”

"I am Bai Jianming's daughter Bai Yang. Elder Li, your body is healthier than when you were in the New Year! ”

The poplars fall generously and authentically.

"Ah, it turns out that you are the little girl of the old Bai family, hello!"

Li Lao suddenly realized, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Bai Jianming, as a ministerial-level official, took his daughter to visit Taishan Beidou of this faction like Li Lao during the Chinese New Year, which is also reasonable.

"Baiyang, do you work in Baozhou City?"

"Mr. Li, I work in the Student Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee, and I came to Baozhou City this time to help the Baozhou City Youth League Committee carry out the ideological education work of 'opposing peaceful evolution' among college and secondary school students."

Poplar replied crisply.

"Anti-Peaceful Evolution Work? Very well, Topol, this job can't be relaxed. The four cardinal principles cannot but be stressed, and the superiority of the socialist system must be maintained ......"

"Yes, Elder Li. I will definitely keep your instructions in mind! ”

"Hehe, little girl, what's the instruction? I'm going to go out now, and if I have time in the evening, I'll come and talk to this old man. ”

Poplar was overjoyed, and nodded in agreement.

My father and I exchanged a look, and both father and son bowed slightly.

……

Along the way, banners and slogans with the contents of "opposing peaceful evolution," "opposing bourgeois liberalization," and "strengthening the ideological education of party members and cadres" could be seen everywhere.

Li Lao nodded slightly.

Long Tiejun and Li Lao were in the same car, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Liu Jincai is still very reassuring.

The convoy entered the territory of Xiangyang County, and Liu Heqian, secretary of the county party committee, and Chen Liyou, the county magistrate, led the main responsible persons of the four sets of teams in Xiangyang County to greet them at the junction.

Li Lao lowered his face and "hummed".

"What are you doing with all this formalistic stuff?"

Long Tiejun smiled awkwardly and explained: "Old Li, you are highly respected, and this is also the heart of the comrades below. ”

Li Lao shook his head: "Formalistic things, it's better to have less." Keep walking, don't stop! ”

The leading crown car sped by, without stopping at all. Follow-up vehicles naturally followed. When Dad's No. 1 car passed by Liu Heqian and them, it slowed down slightly. Dad lowered the window and waved to Liu Heqian and the others.

The leaders of Xiangyang County hurriedly got into the car and followed forward.

At this time, a side three-wheeled police motorcycle left the main road, copied the small road and drove straight to the original Xiangyang County Taishan District Government, and now the high-tech development zone management committee.

A group of responsible cadres of the working committee and the management committee of the high-tech zone, under the leadership of Jiang Youxin and Sun Youdao, also lined up at the junction early to greet them. In the distance, the side three-wheeled motorcycle came at a gallop, and Xiao Jian, deputy director of the Xiangyang County Public Security Bureau and head of the public security brigade, didn't have time to get out of the car, so he shouted loudly.

"Secretary Jiang, Director Sun, hurry up, bring everyone back, hurry up, the Li Laodi convoy is about to arrive...... The old man doesn't like this set ......"

Jiang Youxin and Sun Youdao glanced at each other, a little hesitant.

"Hey, two leaders, you guys should hurry up, just now Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Chen ate a face of dust, Li Lao's convoy didn't stop at all, Secretary Liu almost caught fire!"

Xiao Jian drove closer and shouted anxiously.

Jiang Youxin and the others knew that it was true, so they quickly jumped into the car and drove back to the management committee. In less than ten minutes, Li Lao's motorcade drove into the management committee.

As soon as he saw that the management committee was still working in an old-fashioned office building, Li Lao's face was slightly gentle.

"Mr. Li, do you want to listen to the work report of the comrades of the Management Committee of the High-tech Zone first?"

Dad asked cautiously.

Li Lao nodded, followed Jiang Youxin directly, and walked into the conference room on the first floor of the management committee. This conference room is the original conference room of the Taishan District government, the wall paint is mottled, and a layer of lime is temporarily brushed.

Jiang Youxin's face was astringent, and he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry Li Lao, the conditions are too simple." ”

Li Lao smiled rarely, and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, hard work and simplicity are my party's old traditions." ”

The conference room is not big, and the attaché of Li Laodi, plus a large group of cadres from Xiangyang County and the High-tech Zone squeezed in, it was full. This time, without waiting for Li Lao to express his position, his father had already spoken.

"Comrade Liu Heqian and Comrade Chen Liyou stayed, Comrade Sun Youdao of the Management Committee also stayed, and the other comrades all went back to work."

Secretary Liu has a very high prestige in Baozhou City, and when the cadres listen to the instructions, they are like Fenglunyin, and they hula run away without a trace.

Sun Youdao temporarily served as a waiter, and together with the secretary, he was busy serving tea to the leaders. The first time he saw such a respected old revolutionary as Li Lao, Sun Youdao's legs trembled a little, and his hands trembled a little.

Li Lao said kindly: "Little comrade, don't be nervous......"

"Yes, yes, Li Lao......"

Sun Youdao's mouth responded, but his hands trembled even more, he accidentally spilled a little tea, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and his face turned white for a while.

Li Lao smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

So everyone laughed.

"Elder Li, this is Comrade Jiang Youxin, secretary of the Working Committee of the High-tech Zone, let him report to you about the situation in the High-tech Zone, right?"

Dad whispered to ask for Elder Li's opinion.

Elder Li nodded and said lightly: "Comrade Jiang Youxin is very young. ”

Dad's expression froze slightly, and then he smiled: "Yes, Comrade Jiang Youxin used to be my secretary, and he has been transferred to work in the high-tech zone for more than a year. ”

"Hmm."

Li Lao was noncommittal.

Dad nodded encouragingly at Jiang Youxin.

"Li Lao, Secretary Long, Secretary Liu, our Xiangyang County High-tech Development Zone was established on the basis of the original Xiangyang County Taishan District, including six townships, with a total area of 127.5 square kilometers......"

Jiang Youxin began to report. Although there was a notebook in front of him, he never opened it during the reporting process, and a series of data came out of his mouth, ranging from how many enterprises there were in the whole district, how much foreign capital was introduced, how much profits and taxes were created, and how many workers there were in total, including many male workers and how many female workers, all of which were complete and did not lag in the slightest. Obviously, these data are familiar with the chest on weekdays.

I learned this skill from my father.

Jiang Youxin has followed his father for many years, and he has learned his father's down-to-earth work style from a secretary to a son-in-law.

Liu Heqian and Chen Liyou are familiar with this, but Li Lao and Long Tiejun couldn't help but show a slight expression.

Jiang Youxin is worthy of being a secretary, and the rhythm of the report is well controlled, and it only takes about 20 minutes to introduce the basic situation of the high-tech zone clearly.

"Secretary Xiaojiang, I heard that your high-tech zone has a factory specializing in the production of air conditioners, isn't it?"

Li Lao asked slowly.

"Yes, Elder Li. It is the 'Spring' Air Conditioning Group Company, a subsidiary of Tengfei Industrial Corporation, which produced and sold a total of 45,100 Spring brand vertical air conditioners last year, achieving total sales of more than 100 million. ”

Jiang Youxin replied without thinking about it.

Li Lao looked up at the simple conference room and said, "Then why don't you install air conditioning in your conference room?" ”

"Mr. Li, our high-tech zone has just been established, and the office funds are not abundant. The air conditioner was too expensive for us to afford. Besides, we have a relatively high terrain here, and in summer, it is not very hot, and it is not a big problem to install air conditioning. ”

Li Lao nodded and said to his father: "Comrade Liu Jincai, it seems that the room where I live is equipped with this spring brand air conditioner, right?" ”

Dad replied, "Yes, Elder Li." The high-level dry room of Baozhou Hotel was uniformly installed with air conditioning last year. It was sold to the hotel by the spring company at the factory price. The entire city of Baozhou, which is currently equipped with air-conditioning, is the guesthouse and hotel...... When guests come, it is better to make them as comfortable as possible. ”

Li Lao shook his jaw again, stood up, and said, "Okay, let's go to this spring company to have a look." ”

Jiang Youxin led the way first, and the group took several cars and drove towards Liujiashan.

……

The news that Li Lao is coming to inspect the high-tech zone today has already been notified to all factories in the high-tech zone, and in accordance with the unified deployment of the municipal party committee, all township governments and company factories have put up welcome banners. However, last night, I received an urgent notice from the county party committee, and all the welcome banners were removed and replaced with "anti-peaceful evolution" slogans and banners.

The blackboard newspapers of various township governments and factories also temporarily published this aspect of the content. Including some joint ventures is no exception.

The fifth uncle received the notice of Li Lao's inspection, and urgently convened the board of directors, and Liujiashan, regardless of the factory or the household, up and down, inside and outside, the windows were bright and clean, and they looked new.

As soon as Li Lao's motorcade left the management committee, the staff immediately called Tengfei Industrial Corporation and Spring Air Conditioning Group Company. Wu Bo, Liu Zhaoyu, Fang Wencui and Xiaoqing, who rushed back from Hong Kong temporarily, were all immediately

Spring Company.

About 30 minutes, Li Lao's motorcade arrived at the spring company, and Wubo and his party lined up at the door of the company to greet them.

Due to the construction of a large number of factories and residences, the arable land in the Liujia Mountains was very tight, and the spring company was built in the neighboring village of Matangwan. In fact, at present, several villages adjacent to Liujiashan have built large and small factories, basically forming a new market town, walking into Liujiashan, it is like walking into an industrial park, in addition to tall factories, beautiful villas, and the streets are also neatly planned. On both sides of the street, there are many shops, such as clothing stores, restaurants, non-staple food stores, electrical appliance stores, hardware stores, etc., all of which are readily available, and it is a complete community, and there is no traditional rural appearance at all.

Several neighboring villages, such as Matangwan Village and Xiaoshui Village, are also expanding in this direction.

As soon as Li Lao got out of the car, Wu Bo led everyone to greet him and shook hands with Li Lao.

Li Lao held Wubodi's hand and said with a smile: "You are Comrade Liu Jinwen, right?" For you and the Tengfei Industrial Corporation you founded, I have long admired the name. ”

The fifth uncle hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare to be, we don't dare to be, we really admire the name of Li Lao for a long time, like thunder." In the past, when I chatted with people and talked about the big people in our Baozhou area, as long as I mentioned the name of Li Lao, it was really known to everyone. Everybody's so proud. ”

Wubo's words are not an exaggeration.

In the past, when people in the Baozhou area went out, if they talked about their hometown, many people would indeed mention the name of Li Laodi. After all, Li Lao is the biggest "official" who went out during the revolutionary years in Baozhou!

In an official-based country, a big man with legendary experience like Li Lao will always be talked about.

Li Lao smiled and shook hands with Liu Zhaoyu, Fang Wenqi and Xiaoqing one by one.

When it was Xiaoqing's turn, Li Lao was slightly stunned.

Those who can stand here to greet him must be the important management personnel of Tengfei Industrial Corporation.

Liu Zhaoyu introduced on the side: "Mr. Li, this is Miss Liu Qing, the major shareholder of the joint venture of Spring Company and the president of Hong Kong Shengye Investment Company. Spring Company is a joint venture between our Tengfei Company and Shengye Company. ”

"Such a young big boss in Hong Kong?"

Li Lao said in surprise.

Xiaoqing said generously: "Old Li, in fact, I am also from Liujiashan, and I only immigrated to Hong Kong a few years ago. ”

"Oh, I see. Young people have the ability and drive, especially rarely, they don't forget their hometown when they get rich, not bad, very good! ”

It can be seen that Li Lao is indeed very happy.

Although Lai's political views tend to be conservative, this does not mean that he does not appreciate the energetic and capable younger generation. It is because of this group of people that the country can progress. Especially for people who are not in the system, an old revolutionary with the status of Li Lao will not put on a show, and he is very approachable.

This is also the consistent work style of veteran cadres like Li Lao.

Xiaoqing smiled: "Thank you Elder Li for the compliment." ”

Li Lao waved his hand and smiled: "Then, please ask the young lady president to show us around your factory." ”

"Okay, I'm honored. Elder Li, leaders, please come with me. ”

Liu Zhaoyu secretly gave Xiaoqing a thumbs up.

This young cousin has really come through the experience. You must know that General Manager Liu Zhaoyu's vest is now cold.

Walking in the brand-new and wide workshop, looking at the automatic assembly lines and air conditioners flowing along the conveyor belt, and the workers working seriously next to the assembly line, Li Lao nodded and smiled constantly.

"President Koyanagi, let me ask you a question, are all the workers in the factory from the nearby villages?"

"Li Lao, it's not exactly from a nearby village. Most of the workers are from all over the county, and some are from other places. ”

"Oh? What are the conditions under which you hire workers? ”

Li Lao was interested.

"As long as you are in good health, under the age of 45, and have a junior high school education or above, you are eligible for admission...... Of course, you must go through training before taking up your post, and you can only operate after passing the training. ”

"So, if a worker makes a mistake, what kind of punishment will he be punished, will his wages be deducted?"

Li Lao stared at Xiaoqing with a smile on his face, but his eyes were very stern.

"It depends on what kind of mistake you make.

Generally speaking, wages will not be deducted if there is no financial loss to the company. However, those who will criticize education and refuse to change their ways will be dismissed. ”

Xiaoqing has no stage fright and talks eloquently.

Li Lao nodded and continued to walk forward. After inspecting the spring company, I went to Liujiashan to inspect the headquarters of Tengfei Company with great interest.

"Comrade Liu Jincai, I heard that your hometown is from Liujiashan?"

Li Lao suddenly asked his father.

Dad hurriedly replied, "Yes, Mr. Li." My hometown is from Liujiashan. ”

Li Lao nodded and said no more. Coming to the headquarters building of Tengfei Company, Li Lao's eyes suddenly fell on the luxurious Mercedes-Benz car, and the two eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Comrade Liu Jinwen, this car is yours, right?"

The fifth uncle was shocked, and replied cautiously: "Elder Li, this is the company's car, sometimes I sit on it, sometimes I use it to pick up and drop off guests." ”

"Hmm...... Although your village is now a big family, where you should be thrifty, you should still be frugal. Extravagance, ostentatiousness, is not a good phenomenon......"

Wu Bo nodded again and again: "Yes, Elder Li, we must keep in mind your instructions and not forget the good tradition of hard work and simplicity." ”
