The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 402 Little Rich Woman!
"Brother Wen, the Master Nan you are talking about is not named Nan Yi, right?"

"You also know Nan Yi?" Minister Wen raised his eyebrows curiously.

"I've eaten his cooking a few times before. I remember he was a chef in the machinery factory under the steel rolling mill?" Zhang Shenfei wondered why Nan Yi was doing well in the machinery factory but ended up working in the peeler factory?

Workers these days will stay in a factory for their entire lives and won't move away easily.

"It was in the machinery factory, that's right. Later, a canteen director named Cui in that factory, his name was Cui..." Minister Wen was a little stuck for a moment.

"Cui Dake!" Zhang Shenfei replied, "I've met that guy before. How can I put it? He shouts slogans loudly, but in fact he is just an embroidered pillow and a straw bag."

Speaking of Cui Dake, he is also a well-known figure, and is known as one of the four villains in period dramas along with Xu Damao, Cheng Jianjun, and Wu Yansheng.

Among the four evil men, Cui Dake had the lowest starting point but climbed the highest.

At first, he was just an ordinary farmer in Nantai Commune. While feeding pigs, he also took care of the sows' delivery and postpartum care.

Later, by chance, he entered a machine repair factory by delivering pigs, climbed up all the way, married the goddess of the machine repair factory, Ding Qiunan, and became the provincial GWH director when the wind blew.

Later, after the reform and opening up, he was one of the first people to go into business and made a fortune.

Zhang Shenfei thought that with his participation this time, Cui Dake was able to send the fat pig Xiaozhuang to the steel mill, and he was unable to stay. The trajectory of his life has been changed.

However, he did not expect that this person's level was actually quite high. In the end, he entered the machine repair factory and became the canteen director.

"Yes, it's Cui Dake!!! Cui Dake always bullied Nan Yi. It was said that he bullied him many times, forcing him to quit his job.

Nan Yi and Sha Zhu are good friends. They couldn't stand it anymore so they came to me and asked me for help... How can I help? ? I can't just take that Cui guy down, right? After all, this is very complicated...

So I thought about it, asked Nan Yi's opinion, and then I transferred him to the peeler and grater factory. If we can't afford to offend a villain, we can always avoid him."

Zhang Shenfei certainly knew that Minister Wen would definitely not be able to afford to offend Cui Dake.

To put it bluntly, with his power, there is no need for him to deal with such a despicable and shameless villain.

It would not sound good if news got out that a ministerial-level cadre lowered himself to become a deputy section chief.

Transferring Nan Yi to the peeler and grater factory was a great move that not only helped Nan Yi solve his difficulties, but also avoided a direct conflict with Cui Dake.

When he comes to work in the factory, he can also enjoy Nan Yi’s cooking. Isn’t this killing three birds with one stone?

As they walked into the cafeteria, they saw the words written on the small blackboard hanging on the wall in front of them:
Today's dishes: sweet and sour eggplant, dry-pot cauliflower; staple food: steamed buns made from two-grain flour, and cornmeal soup.

Zhang Shenfei nodded secretly. Although sweet and sour eggplant and dry-pot cauliflower are both vegetarian dishes, they are very time-consuming and laborious to prepare, and are dishes only made by useless cooks.

Those factory or school canteens, at least the steel rolling mill canteens, never do that.

These canteens usually cook dishes using the traditional big pot method. They add oil and stir-fry for a few times before starting to stew.

The main feature is that all dishes are prepared in the same way and all dishes taste the same.

It's not time for lunch yet, and there's no one else in the cafeteria except the staff who are busy serving dishes, steamed buns, and wiping tables.

Seeing Zhang Shenfei and Minister Wen appear, Nan Yi hurriedly wiped his hands with his apron and greeted them with a smile:

"Director Wen, you are here? Director Zhang, are you here to discuss cooperation with our factory??? I heard from Sha Zhu that you went to college? Are you graduating?"

Zhang Shenfei smiled and shook hands with him. "You have graduated, right? You have been assigned to work at the peeler factory. I came to the cafeteria today just to try out your skills."

"Hey, you were assigned to our factory???" Nan Yi's eyes wandered between Director Wen and Zhang Shuifei.

I asked questions and thought about it in my heart...

Zhang Shenfei was the deputy director of the steel mill before. If he was transferred to their factory, there was no way he could be the deputy director...

According to the rules, you have to go up one step at a time...

But if he becomes the factory director...what will Director Wen do? ?
Minister Wen saw his confusion and explained, "From today on, Comrade Zhang Shenfei will take over my job as the director of our factory. Nan Yi, you will have a new director."

Nan Yi said quickly: "This is also good. You are always running between our factory and the Ministry of Metallurgy, which is very tiring...

Hand this matter over to Director Zhang, so that you can concentrate on your work in the Ministry of Metallurgy and serve the people better, right? ?

The reason why our peeler factory was established in the first place was because of the peeler invented by Director Zhang. He came to the factory to be the director, which is the true meaning of "specialization in one's trade"! !
If you ask me, this is the best arrangement for you two, for everyone, and for our factory! ! "

The words were so flawless that Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but sigh.

Although they are both cooks, Nan Yi comes from a wealthy family after all, he studied a few years more than Sha Zhu, and his speech is much more pleasant than Sha Zhu's.

Minister Wen smiled after hearing this and said, "That's the logic.

Today is Director Zhang's first day in office. I am inviting him to dinner on my personal behalf, and several leaders from the factory will be here soon.

Nan Yi, go make some of your signature dishes and bring them to the private room later."

"Well, just wait and see. I will do my best to make sure you, the leaders, are satisfied with the meal."

After asking the two about their dietary restrictions, Nan Yi hurried back to the kitchen and called for the kitchen helper to help prepare the dishes.

Not long after Zhang Shenfei and others sat down, other factory leaders arrived.

Everyone drank a pot of light tea in the private room, and after waiting for about half an hour, two cold dishes were served.

A large colorful rice noodle and a plate of fried peanuts.

Not long after, four hot dishes were served, two of which were sweet and sour eggplants and dry-pot cauliflower, which were directly served from the big pot today.

Zhang Shenfei knew that Nanyi had intentionally put these two dishes on plates and sent them over.

Of course, this is to let the leaders see that I put my heart into cooking the big pot dish, so I won’t be scared at all even if I serve it to the leaders.

The peeler factory is significantly smaller than the steel mill, and its leadership team is correspondingly smaller.

In addition to the factory director, there are two deputy factory directors, who are in charge of production and sales, personnel, canteen, etc.

Because the previous director, Minister Wen, was only in the position part-time, most of the factory affairs were handled by the two deputy directors.

Zhang Shenfei previously worked as a technician in a peeler factory and had met the factory's leadership team several times, so he was not unfamiliar with them.

During the meal, several people were talking while eating. Zhang Shenfei's appointment letter had already arrived at the factory, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

However, when the other leaders heard Minister Wen say that Zhang Shenfei's work content was consistent with his previous work content, they did not say anything but there was a slight surprise in their eyes.

Minister Wen basically doesn't care about anything related to the peeler, so most of the work is done by them.

But Minister Wen is a part-timer after all, while Zhang Shenfei is a full-timer. How can this be possible???

But those who could enter the factory leadership team were naturally not stupid. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they only planned to inquire and discuss it afterwards. Moreover, the fact that the person in charge did not monopolize the power was actually a good thing for those who were below.

They don't have to worry about the rights they currently hold being taken back.

In this situation, no one asked any questions and everyone had a smile on their face.

Thinking of this, the smiles on everyone's faces became even more sincere.

After the meal, Zhang Shenfei just went through the motions with the leadership team of the peeler factory.

After work in the afternoon, he chatted with Minister Wen in the office for another two hours.

Although Zhang Shenfei's work in the Ministry of Foreign Trade was confidential, the people he had to keep it secret from did not include Minister Wen.

Thinking of this young man who is less than 30 years old and is going to travel around the port cities on the mainland, Minister Wen couldn't help but give him some advice.

Hong Kong is not like the mainland. Money is the most important thing there. Having money means having everything, and having power means you can do whatever you want.

"There are gangs, drugs, prostitutes, and even casinos. In short, all dirty things are legal there...

I have always disapproved of young people like you going to places where there is so much decadence and extravagance. The chance of a piece of white paper being contaminated is really too great." Minister Wen was actually quite worried about Zhang Shenfei.

It is not an easy thing to walk between black and white. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, some comrades with weak wills have been corrupted by the evil capitalist society.

He himself knows more than one or two.

He was afraid that Zhang Shenfei, the young man who had grown up under his care, would fall into depravity.

Zhang Shenfei understood that a determined gcdy like Minister Wen would indeed have such concerns.

He looked at the other party sincerely, patted his chest, and assured: "Don't worry, Brother Wen. I, Zhang Shenfei, am not that kind of person..."

Not to mention Hong Kong, even if I were in downtown, I wouldn’t be late for fun!!!
Buddy, I've seen all the delicious and fun things, so I'm not easily corrupted.

Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart and never dared to say them out loud.

The days passed quickly, and in April, the first Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards opened.

The film adaptation of Sha Jia Bang, a play written by Zhang Shenfei, won three awards.

Zhang Shenfei himself went to the conference in person and met many well-known directors and actors of this era.

The actresses who played the five golden flowers greatly impressed Zhang Shenfei. The two took photos together and had a meal together.

By May, Zhang Shenfei had been working in the peeler factory for more than a month and had completely adapted to life here.

In the middle of the month, he finally received a notice from the organization that he would rush to Hong Kong City in June to start his first job.

As for the content of the work, I don’t know yet. I will only know after I get there and meet up with the contact person.

Two days after receiving the notice, Zhang Shenfei came to Qianmen Street again.

Just like during the Chinese New Year, he, Xu Huizhen, Xu Jingli, Chen Xueru, and Zhang Handong had dinner together.

After dinner, Zhang Shenfei took the two children out to play as usual, leaving the two women at home to rest.

The two children had enough fun during the day, so they fell asleep at night, snoring loudly and could not be woken up even by thunder.

Zhang Shenfei returned to the bedroom, where Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru were chatting under the covers...

Seeing him coming, a hint of shyness flashed in their eyes.

in the future,

Xu Huizhen was rushing to check on the two children and see if they were asleep and cover them with quilts.

Although Chen Xueru's house is warmer than the courtyard house, children tend to kick off the quilt when they sleep, which would be bad if they catch a cold.

As soon as she left, Chen Xueru came back to her senses and said in a hoarse voice, "Da Fei, give me a cigarette."

Zhang Shenfei took out a pack of slim ladies' cigarettes from the bedside table, knocked out one and put it in his mouth, lit it with a match, took a puff, then took it out and put it in Chen Xueru's mouth.

Chen Xueru smoked half a cigarette and recovered: "Last time you told me to find out about Hong Kong City, and I've already got the result."

Qianmen Street boasts eighty-eight large businesses and countless small ones.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a group of merchants did not stay in the country, but moved to Hong Kong, Macau and other places via Guangdong Province.

Among them were some people Chen Xueru knew, such as the man named Hou who had pursued her madly before. Although they had not been in contact for many years, as long as she was willing to ask, she could know something about them.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shenfei lit another cigarette and asked after exhaling a puff of white smoke.

Chen Xueru told him what she had found out. She felt a little worried again: "I heard that place discriminates against us from the mainland, calling us northern girls...

Dafei, do I really want to go to Hong Kong with my child? We are unfamiliar with that place, I am a girl, and Handong is still young.

And I heard that the control has become more and more strict in recent years, and it is not easy to get through. "

Zhang Shenfei did wave his hand: "If you don't leave now, the situation will be more serious in the future."

Chen Xueru's brows twisted into a knot. "Has it really come to this? Where did you get this news? Are you exaggerating?"

Zhang Xuefei sighed, held him in his arms, and carefully analyzed the changes in the past year and what might happen in the future.

"Next, they will probably make a fuss about your background. You are different from Xu Huizhen. You are from Niulanshan. Three generations of your family have been farmers. You have a natural amulet. Now you have joined the neighborhood committee and become the director, which is even more powerful.

But what about you? Although you organized literacy classes and donated money after liberation, your family background is not good. If someone wants to make trouble, this is a handle. "

“Putting all this aside, when we were jointly operating the company, I asked you to expand on a large scale, set up chain stores, stockpile a large amount of low-priced fabrics, issue false invoices, and increase the total value of the assets several times.

The ultimate goal of public-private partnership is to achieve socialism in all industries.

You know, without me telling you, that you can't keep your silk clothes. They will become state-owned sooner or later. And by that time, all the things that happened before will be exposed sooner or later.

If you don't run, have you ever thought about what kind of consequences you will face in the future? ? "

Chen Xueru felt cold all over, and her eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Zhang Shengfei: "You had guessed this would happen, so why did you ask me to increase the value of silk clothing and open ten chain stores??? Could it be that you have been cheating me all along??!!"

The man who had been sleeping beside her for so long had actually been plotting against her? She even gave birth to a son for him. Chen Xueru couldn't believe it.

But she was a female businessman who had experienced many ups and downs after all. Before Zhang Shenfei could explain, she quickly came to her senses and muttered to herself.

"No... You won't cheat me."

If Zhang Shenfei was going to trick me, then he had to do it for some reason, right?
