Chapter 440 Shabu-boiled mutton

A week later, through the efforts of all members of the East China Sea project team, the formal project plan was finally produced and then formally submitted to the leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

"Team Gao, our East China Sea project team has worked hard these past few days. Let's all go to a hot pot restaurant outside for dinner tonight." Suning smiled and looked at Gao Xiangrong, who was in charge of logistics.

"Ah? All members of the project team?"

"Yes! All of them."

"Oh~~~Thank you, Team Leader Su." The team members were all excited.

Gao Xiangrong directly booked a mutton hotpot restaurant next door. It was full of about 10 to 20 members of the East China Sea project team. Looking at the steaming hotpot in the pot, Suning stood up, picked up a glass of wine and looked at everyone.

"Everyone, you've all worked hard over the past week. This first glass of wine is for you all."

"Respectfully, Team Leader Su."

"Haha, let's drink it!" Suning drank the two taels of wine in the glass in front of everyone.

"Although the project plan has just been submitted and is still a long way from being officially approved, this is a victory for our East China Sea project team. So the second glass of wine is to toast our project team's first victory."

"victory!"

"Dear colleagues, while we are happy, we must also be determined to wait patiently. Please continue to wait patiently. I believe that time will not let our efforts go unrewarded. So this third toast is to patience."

"patience!"

After three glasses of wine, many people were a little tipsy. Then Suning said to everyone again, "Everyone, eat as much as you want! There's plenty of beef and mutton today. The project team's allowance isn't enough, so I'll pay for the rest."

"Oh~~~~~" Everyone became excited under the influence of alcohol.

After a lively mutton hotpot meal, everyone reached a consensus in their hearts. After all, Suning had already anticipated all the situations, and everyone just needed to wait patiently for the results.

When the dinner was over, the team members all returned to the dormitory in a mess. The four project team leaders stayed behind. Gao Xiangrong used the project team allowance to settle a small part of the meal bill, and most of the rest was paid directly by Suning.

"Team Leader Su, do you think we can really succeed this time?" Han Zegang looked at Su Ning drunkenly.

"Old Han, have you heard any rumors?" Su Ning looked at Han Zegang meaningfully.

"Team Leader Su, to be honest, I recently heard a rumor that Lu Si from the Planning Department is leaning towards the Binzhou Chemical Plant."

"Haha, Old Han, you also said that this is just gossip. I believe our proposal has obvious advantages over Binzhou Chemical Plant."

"Well, that's beyond doubt." Although Han Zegang was very confident in the East China Sea project plan, he still said with some concern, "But we have to anticipate the possibility of things being ruined because of people!"

"Haha, so what if I predicted it? We still need to wait for the results." Suning looked at Han Zegang with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Han, actually, overthinking is also a burden. We just need to wait quietly."

"Huh? Yes! Team Leader Su."

Gao Xiangrong and Liu Yuhai just listened quietly to the conversation between Suning and Han Zegang without expressing any opinions. In fact, they were also worried about the future of the project team.

Seeing that it has only been more than a week and some people are already getting impatient, it really feels sad. How can these guys with different thoughts accomplish anything?

The project team waited anxiously for several days but received no news. Then all kinds of rumors spread within the project team. Suning did not cheer them up or treat them to mutton hotpot again. Instead, he silently observed every move of each team member.

"Team Leader Su, I've noticed something's not right with the recent winds!" Gao Xiangrong approached Su Ning mysteriously, whispering his thoughts, "Given the foresight of our project plan, it's impossible for us to go so long without any news!"

"Lao Gao, what else can we do now besides waiting?"

"Team Leader Su, how about we go look for Director Zhou again?"

"Lao Gao, you've been in the company for so long. At such a sensitive time, wouldn't it cause trouble for Mr. Zhou if you went to him?"

"Huh? That's what you said."

A few days later, Director Zhou finally summoned Su Ning formally, and then looked at Su Ning with a gloomy face, "Suning, things may be a little troublesome, you have to make some preparations in advance."

"Zhou Si, what's going on?"

"Lu Si of the Planning Department is leaning towards the Binzhou Chemical Plant. Furthermore, the equipment purchase list you submitted is all American. This conflicts greatly with Lu Si's decision to purchase Japanese equipment."

"Boss Zhou, our East China Sea project team won't be disapproved, right?"

"That's not the case. After all, we're still under negotiation. However, if you give up this purchase list and accept the Japanese equipment that Lu Si insists on, we can continue discussions, but we can't start purchasing immediately."

"Sure! I can give up the shopping list I submitted."

"Well, then there's no problem." Zhou Si was also surprised to see Suning being so understanding.

Suning knew that Lu Si's plan would definitely fail. The reason why he submitted the purchase list in advance was to give Lu Si a bargaining chip. Otherwise, he would have directly discussed and rejected the East China Sea project team.

"Boss Zhou, can I ask you a favor?"

"Well, tell me about it." Zhou Si looked at Suning without comment.

"Director Zhou, many members of the East China Sea project team must have been trying to transfer these days. I beg you not to recall these cunning individuals."

"This"

"Boss Zhou, this is my list of substitutes. You can consider it."

Zhou Si took the list handed over by Suning with surprise. When he saw Ma Baoping's name, he immediately felt excited and thought that Suning was really a worm in his stomach.

"Suning, what are you going to let Ma Baoping be responsible for?"

"Director Zhou, Liu Yuhai has already started to move. Based on my observation, his transfer is a foregone conclusion, so I plan to have Ma Baoping take charge of the finances of the Donghai Chemical Plant."

"Finance?" Zhou Si suddenly felt a little short of breath. "Okay! I promise."

"Thank you, Zhou Si."

"Well, I've also heard of Song Yunhui. He seems to be your brother-in-law, Suning?" Zhou Si continued to look at Suning and asked.

"That's right! Song Yunhui has always wanted to be transferred to the East China Sea project team, but I stopped him. Now I find that he is more suitable than Han Zegang."

"No! Song Yunhui cannot be transferred." Zhou Si directly rejected Suning.

"This"

"Here's how it is! Lao Shui is going to retire soon, and I promise to let Song Yunhui be the executive deputy director of the Jinzhou factory." Looking at the capable and beloved general in front of him, Zhou Si didn't want to disappoint Suning, so he smiled and promised.

"Thank you, Zhou Si."

"Well, I just like the fact that you know how to adapt to the times. Your future is definitely limitless, and you must not give others any excuses."

"Zhou Si, I understand."

After leaving Director Zhou's office, Su Ning almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Su Ning had never thought about transferring Song Yunhui over, he just wanted to show Director Zhou his "selfishness".

Now with Director Zhou's assurance, Song Yunhui's position as Executive Deputy Director of the Jinzhou Plant was secure. In reality, Song Yunhui already possessed this ability, and now he was simply being given a more secure guarantee. Over the next few days, some people finally began to transfer out. They were all well-connected "god-level figures." Liu Yuhai was the first to be transferred, and then the other team members, no longer paying attention to Suning's initial encouragement, began to transfer out of the Donghai project team.

Looking at the few remaining people, Gao Xiangrong and Han Zegang looked at Su Ning with worries, "Team Leader Su, should we also think of a solution?"

"When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, deprive him of all possessions, and make his plans frustrated." Suning suddenly recited a line from an ancient Chinese text in a pretentious manner.

"Ah" Gao Xiangrong and Han Zegang were both confused when they saw Suning suddenly showing off.

"If we don't even have this much patience, how can we still operate the Donghai Chemical Plant in the future?"

"Uh?"

"We must be patient now! Patience! Patience!"

Although they didn't understand Suning, Gao Xiangrong and Han Zegang had to continue to wait patiently, because there was no way they could transfer now, so they could only stay and go crazy with Suning.

Soon they saw the dawn of hope, because a new member came to their East China Project Team, their old acquaintance Ma Baoping, who replaced the financial position left by Liu Yuhai.

"Old Ma, you're here? That's great." Gao Xiangrong understood everything.

"Well, I can finally fight alongside you." Old Ma looked at Gao Xiangrong with a smile, then looked at Suning with gratitude, "Suning, thank you. I know it was you who recommended me to the old leader."

"Haha, stop saying so many polite words, just be your God of Wealth."

"Well, I will definitely do it."

The day after Ma Baoping reported for work, Zhou Si and Lu Si came to the Donghai project team together. Lu Si then looked at Su Ning meaningfully, "You are Su Ning, right? You really look a little too young."

"Lu Si, nice to meet you. I hope you can take care of me."

"Well, your last equipment procurement list wasn't entirely useless. The Ministry of Chemical Industry has already decided to purchase some American equipment, probably about 30%!"

"Haha, Zhou Si and Lu Si, you are really wise."

"Well, everyone, I'm here to announce your appointments. Suning is the Director of the Donghai Chemical Plant; Ma Baoping is the Executive Deputy Director of the Donghai Chemical Plant, responsible for finance; Han Zegang is the Deputy Director of the Donghai Chemical Plant, responsible for technology and equipment; and Gao Xiangrong is the Deputy Director of the Donghai Chemical Plant, responsible for logistics."

"clap clap"

"Director Su, tell me about your next arrangements!" Lu Si announced the appointment, then looked at Su Ning with a smile.

"Director Zhou, Director Lu, Han Zegang and I are planning to go to Donghai to carry out preliminary preparations, such as piling and site construction, as well as matters concerning the dock project."

"Huh? Now that you're gone, what are we going to do with the imported equipment?"

"Haha, we at Donghai Chemical Plant will obey Lu Si's arrangements."

"Well, Director Su is smarter than I thought." Lu Si smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at the smiling Lu Si in front of him, Suning didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he ended up with nothing.

"Haha, this also requires the strong support of Director Zhou and Director Lu."

"Well, Suning, do you have any other requests?"

"Manager Zhou, Manager Lu, this is a list of technicians I've drawn up. We've all worked together before at the Zhongyuan and Jinzhou factories. I'm very familiar with their abilities, and I hope the leadership can transfer them over."

Zhou Si took the list from Suning and looked at it carefully. He saw that although most of the people on the list were from Jinzhou Factory, they all had good abilities, which showed that Suning had no selfish motives this time.

"Director Su, do you want to transfer your brother-in-law Song Yunhui as well?" Lu Si looked at the list curiously, and then looked at Su Ning with some surprise.

"Thank you, Lu Si. Song Yunhui is my brother-in-law. It will have a bad impact if we tell others about it, so let's not transfer him!" Now the powerful departments of Donghai Factory have been allocated. If Song Yunhui comes, he will just sit and wait to suffer losses. It would be better for him to be the executive deputy director of Jinzhou Factory.

"Well, Suning, I will help you mobilize these people." Zhou Si looked at Suning with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Director Zhou and Director Lu." Suning thanked the two directors with a smile, and then explained again, "Our Donghai Chemical Plant is still short of a professional in charge of dock construction, and we need the leaders' help to solve this problem!"

"Okay! No problem." Zhou Si and Lu Si looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Before leaving Beijing, Suning went to Lao Xu's home to visit this great man. Lao Xu was also surprised to see Suning's sudden visit.

"Suning, are you done with your work?"

"I'm done with my work. I'm now the director of the Donghai Chemical Plant."

"Haha, it's very rare to see a factory manager as young as you!"

"Old Xu, I really appreciate your help. Without you, I might never be able to stand up again."

"Haha, Suning, you're too kind." Old Xu said nonchalantly, then suddenly looked at Suning seriously, "Then can I recommend someone to you?"

"Oh? Who do you recommend, Old Xu?"

"Suning, I see that your Hongyun Company is getting better and better, so I want to introduce Lei Dongbao to your company."

"Lei Dongbao? Isn't he the village party secretary of Xiao Lei's family?" Suning was a little surprised.

"Alas! His life in Xiao Lei's family is not easy now. The people below him want to contract the business, and the old branch secretary also committed suicide because of an incident involving 30,000 yuan, so he is a little disheartened now." Old Xu introduced Lei Dongbao's situation with a wry smile.

"Sure! Let him come over and take charge of Hongyun Home Appliances. I plan to let Pingping be in charge of Fuyun Trading."

"Haha, that's great, Suning, you are so kind." Old Xu couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Haha, Old Xu, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness to us in my lifetime."

After leaving Lao Xu's place, Suning prepared to go back to Jinzhou to visit his relatives, because he had time to go home for a while before going to Donghai. Then he took the train back to Jinzhou and soon returned to Jinzhou after a long absence.

When Su Ning returned home, he saw Song Yunhui with an unhappy expression. Then he smiled and said to Song Yunhui, "Why is our Xiaohui angry again?"

"Brother-in-law, you transferred Fang Ping to the Donghai Chemical Plant, why didn't you transfer me too?"

"Xiaohui, I wrote your name on the list, but Director Zhou rejected it." Suning looked at his angry brother-in-law with a smile, and then explained carefully, "Besides, the powerful departments of Donghai Chemical Plant are all occupied, so there would be no suitable position for you."

"Brother-in-law, I'm here to do things, not to be an official." Song Yunhui looked at Su Ning angrily.

"Haha, but Director Zhou promised to make you the executive deputy director of Jinzhou Chemical Plant. You really don't want it?"

"What?" The whole family was excited at this time, even Song's father and mother looked over in surprise.

"Xiaohui, as the Executive Deputy Factory Director, you can freely pursue your own business at the Jinzhou Factory. You should know that we two brothers are no longer penniless. Secretary Shui's lineage, Director Zhou's lineage, and the great Old Xu will all be our supporters."

"Brother-in-law, are you telling the truth?" Song Yunhui looked at Su Ning excitedly.

"Haha, brother-in-law, when have I ever lied to you?"
