After lunch, after resting in the living room for half an hour, Song Yuanchao got up and said goodbye, it is a etiquette to visit today, although Chen Yuqin, who was much better for his senses, politely said that he would leave after dinner, but Song Yuanchao refused with a smile.

Lin Yan sent Song Yuanchao downstairs, and when she was downstairs, Lin Yan suddenly burst out laughing.

Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan in confusion.

"I thought it was funny how you just flattered my mother." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Isn't it necessary for a prospective son-in-law to please his mother-in-law?" Song Yuanchao suddenly smiled, straightened his chest and asked, "How is it?" I'm okay today, right? ”

"Look at your beauty!" Lin Yan clenched her fist and gently slapped Song Yuanchao, her eyebrows full of smiles.

She didn't expect it to be so smooth today, she originally thought that Chen Yuqin would make it difficult for Song Yuanchao, but under Song Yuanchao's few loose hands, Chen Yuqin gradually became enthusiastic about Song Yuanchao from the initial lukewarmness, and when she left just now, she had completely accepted Song Yuanchao.

"Actually, you're right, your mother is a very kind person, and I think I'll get along well with her in the future." Song Yuanchao understood Lin Yan's thoughts and initial worries, and said with a smile.

Lin Yan nodded happily, but at the same time, she was puzzled: "By the way, what did you talk to your father about when my mother and I were in the kitchen?" What do I think of him looking preoccupied after eating? ”

"It's nothing, we just talked about economics, maybe he suddenly thought about work in the middle of the discussion." Song Yuanchao said lightly, Lin Yan just asked casually, did not think deeply, nodded and did not talk about this topic anymore, and chatted with Song Yuanchao about other things with great interest.

Lin Yan didn't send Song Yuanchao too far, but Song Yuanchao let her go back when she left the family home, and after watching Lin Yan's figure disappear at the door of the building, Song Yuanchao rode back to the school.

On the way, Song Yuanchao was still pondering the conversation between him and Lin Daoyuan, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that what he said today is a bit excessive, or that it is a little inappropriate to say these words now.

But Song Yuanchao did not regret it, because he had personally experienced many things that happened after the reform and opening up, and the situations he said would inevitably happen.

In the previous life, with the deepening of reform and opening up, these problems raised by Song Yuanchao began to arise one after another, and many enterprises gradually fell into difficulties in the mid-80s, and in the early 90s, these problems suddenly spread like a volcanic eruption, thus creating an extremely sad "wave of layoffs".

Laid-off, this special term began at that time, with the emergence of this term accompanied by the bitterness and despair of countless families, and with the emergence of the term laid-off, one after another once had a glorious history of bankruptcy, bankruptcy, acquisition, .......

Some people say that this is the throes of reform and opening up, and it is an inevitable consequence. There are also people who sing the hymn of "I will be laid off if I am not laid off", but only those who have experienced and endured it know the pain and helplessness in the face of this situation.

Song Yuanchao had heard and seen too many such tragedies in his previous life, he didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen again, the reason why he said that was because of the conscience of an ordinary person, in fact, he also knew that it was difficult to change these with his personal ability, but he still said this in front of Lin Daoyuan, just hoping to make a tactful reminder in this way.

But Song Yuanchao never expected that just one day apart, Lin Daoyuan suddenly found himself.

"Uncle, why are you here so late?" When Song Yuanchao, who was reading in the dormitory, heard his classmates say that someone downstairs was looking for him, he hurriedly put on his coat and went downstairs, but he didn't expect to see Lin Daoyuan standing outside waiting for him when he went downstairs.

"It's been a busy day, just came out of the unit, Xiao Song, if you're okay, come with me?" Lin Daoyuan looked at Song Yuanchao with a smile.

"Have you eaten?" Song Yuanchao couldn't help but ask.

"I've eaten it...... Lin Daoyuan frowned slightly and thought about it, it seems that eating a steamed bun at four o'clock in the afternoon can be regarded as eating?

"It's almost eight o'clock, why don't I accompany you to the faculty cafeteria?"

"Okay! I haven't eaten school food in years, so you think a little bit about it. Lin Daoyuan returned with a smile.

"Then you wait, I'll go up and come down immediately." Song Yuanchao hurriedly turned around and went upstairs, returned to the dormitory to find the lunch box and chopsticks, etc., and then took the meal ticket back downstairs, and then took Lin Daoyuan to the faculty canteen not far away.

Beijing Normal University is a large university, with several large and small canteens, among which the faculty canteen is one of them, compared with the ordinary canteen, the faculty canteen closes late, which is to prevent the teachers and staff in the school, including some students who stay up late in the library, need to eat at night.

Compared with the big canteen, the faculty canteen is much smaller, and when Song Yuanchao and they arrived, there were not many people in the canteen, so they found a place to let Lin Daoyuan sit first, and Song Yuanchao took the lunch box and chopsticks and went to the window to make food.

Because it was past the punctual meal time, and now there were only some noodles in the cafeteria, Song Yuanchao thought about making a lunch box of rotten noodles, and asked for two steamed buns and some pickles.

"It's too late, there is some pasta left in the cafeteria, and I heard that Yanzi said that your stomach is not good, so I made noodles for you."

"This noodle looks good, it smells so good!" Lin Daoyuan took the lunch box with a smile, unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and snorted and ate, ate a bite of noodles, and then took a bite of white flour steamed buns with pickles, he ate very fragrantly.

In the blink of an eye, the noodles and steamed buns in the lunch box, including pickles, were swept away, and after eating, Lin Daoyuan touched his stomach silently with satisfaction, and burped comfortably.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably, and it's still the smell of school food." Lin Daoyuan said with heartfelt emotion.

Song Yuanchao smiled and handed over a cigarette and helped Lin Daoyuan light it: "You are hungry, it's not okay for you to eat irregularly like this." ”

"There's no way, I'm too busy at work, I forget the time when I'm busy, it's better at home, and I can take care of it when I'm busy in the unit."

"I'll buy you some biscuits or something another day, you can put them in the office, you can pad them when you're hungry, the body is the capital of the revolution, stomach disease is not a minor disease, you have to pay attention to it in the future."

"Okay, anyway, I won't refuse your boy's filial piety." Lin Daoyuan smiled and nodded very happily, and then he said with a straight face: "By the way, I came to you today for something." ”

Looking at Song Yuanchao, Lin Daoyuan said very seriously: "I thought about the question you raised yesterday for a day, although your assumption sounds a bit exaggerated, but after careful consideration, it is not impossible to happen, this is a major matter, it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it cannot be cautious, so I came to you today for this matter." ”

"Uncle, actually, I just talked about ...... yesterday."

Waving his hand, Lin Daoyuan continued: "You don't have to worry about anything, what I said yesterday is just an academic discussion, and what you said is just an assumption, so it can be regarded as a rainy day." In any case, you are very bold and right, this is indeed what we have overlooked before, and since we can't avoid this problem, we must be prepared to solve it. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Daoyuan's eyes looked at Song Yuanchao: "Yuanchao, if it were you, how do you think this situation could be changed?" And how to solve this problem? ”

"It's ......." Song Yuanchao couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying that it was easier said than done, although Song Yuanchao could point out the problem, it was not so easy to do.

Today's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are rigid and huge, like a giant ship in disrepair, and it is not easy to rejuvenate it, and the price may even be greater than building a new enterprise.

In addition, many management personnel, including workers, from the ideological and fundamental existence of some problems, these are difficult to change, if it is just an enterprise is fine, can be solved through administrative means or the problem of personnel replacement, but you must know that there are tens of thousands of large enterprises in the country, if you add the size of the medium and small state-owned enterprises, this number is simply amazing.

In his previous life, Song Yuanchao was just a middle-level leader in the local telecommunications department, and he couldn't answer such a big question at all.

After thinking about it, Song Yuanchao could only recall some of the ideas that the state had made to restructure state-owned enterprises in response to this situation, and selected some words that were suitable for the current situation, and added a little bit of his own understanding.

With Song Yuanchao's narration, Lin Daoyuan's expression became more and more solemn, and he kept asking his own questions about what Song Yuanchao said, and even seemed very sharp and in-depth on some questions, so that Song Yuanchao couldn't help but mention his spirit, and racked his brains to answer.

One question and one answer, time flies, and it is inadvertently more than ten o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the faculty cafeteria was about to get off work, and Lin Daoyuan and Song Yuanchao returned to reality from their immersed thoughts.

"It's too late today, let's talk about it for now." Lin Daoyuan got up and said, "If you think about it yourself in the next few days, it's best to write a complete plan for me." ”

"Uncle, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" Song Yuanchao didn't expect Lin Daoyuan to say this, and asked with a wry smile.

Patting Song Yuanchao's shoulder, Lin Daoyuan said earnestly: "Whether it is suitable or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, and it doesn't count if you say it." But don't worry, this thing is just a personal idea and reference, this is a major event, a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, aid to North Korea, you must write well, write seriously! ”

In the face of Lin Daoyuan's request, Song Yuanchao could only nod and agree, and then he sent Lin Daoyuan out, and the two walked along the campus path to the school gate, and when they arrived at the school gate, a black car drove out from the side and stopped steadily in front of Lin Daoyuan, Lin Daoyuan pulled the car door and turned back to Song Yuanchao and said: "It's not early, go back early to rest, I'm waiting for your plan." ”

"Uncle, walk slowly, pay attention to safety on the road." Song Yuanchao stepped forward to help close the car door, and after the car started and drove into the darkness, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but shake his head with a smile as he looked at the distant taillights, and then turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
