My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 903 The Spirit of Dong Sheng Rises

So before the Spring Festival, Lao Fang finally lost his temper: "Do you think this is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! People keep sending out certificates one after another!"

Wei Dong grinned at him, saying, "I promised to come back, and I basically handed in the paperwork as soon as I got back. This just shows that the people have an urgent need for convenient document processing. The relevant departments should make improvements."

His family all have legitimate passports and Hong Kong and Macau travel permits, and he himself has Hong Kong residency status.

Even though his son was stuck in Jiangzhou and couldn't get his certificate, he neither pressured Jiangzhou nor went to get the paperwork from here. So he just spent the Spring Festival in Pengzhen.

The main point is to joke that Shenzhen's biggest shortcoming is that it doesn't have an airport.

He doesn't like to come to Pengzhen now, mainly because Hong Kong can fly directly to Shanghai and Beijing. If he wants to visit Pengzhen, he has to go to Guangzhou, which is over 100 kilometers away. So why not strengthen infrastructure development and instead make a mess of things?

Old Fang was both amused and exasperated: "It's under construction, it's under construction. It's been approved and is located in the West District. They even need to borrow manpower from us to carry out the construction."

The main reason is that a significant portion of it requires land reclamation.

Wei Dong immediately expressed his full support.

Anyway, the phase of rushing to build the factory area is over now, and the main focus of the infrastructure team is to shift to expanding the wharf reclamation project.

The land reclamation construction company from Hong Kong, in which Lao Heng has a stake, came to lead and provide guidance.

Once this road is completed, we can proceed to the Shanghai deep-water port terminal for construction.

When Lao Fang heard that he had become an investor in the Shanghai deep-water port again, he was speechless: "You might as well just call it the National Port Group!"

Unable to contain his smugness, he said, "Back then, nobody believed me when I insisted on building this container terminal, but now everyone knows. I can consider my work done and then I can submit my retirement application."

Wei Dong quickly urged him to hold on a little longer.

Old Fang happily cursed, "Hold on my ass! I'm leaving now, hahaha! I had a relaxing Spring Festival last year, I'm definitely going to stay until after the Lantern Festival this year before coming back to work!"

Wei Dong assured him he would do his shift well, and when he took Lao Fang home, he also gave him a ride back to the factory area.

Old Fang also immediately noticed Old Xiao, who was standing a little over two meters tall in the crowd: "Is he also one of you in that basketball project?"

Wei Dong chuckled and pointed it out to him: "See that kid over there? He's his son, seven years old."

The veteran revolutionary, who could face life and death with composure, was taken aback by the height: "Seven years old?!"

Even the usually professional guards and drivers were sneaking glances and almost stalled the engine.

Wei Dong said with pride, "This is because only when life gets better and better will people start to think about different professions and have their talents and abilities displayed. We are grateful to our revolutionary predecessors for creating this peaceful era!"

Old Fang laughed loudly and kicked him out of the car: "You little brat, you'd better get on duty during the Spring Festival!"

Wei Dong then took Lao Xiao's family to Hong Kong the next day.

Lao Xiao is indeed an interesting retired athlete.

Before leaving Shanghai, he brought his wife and second-grade son to the Spring Festival meet-and-greet organized by the Shanghai basketball department.

He didn't mention at all that he was already Rang Weidong's employee, let alone that they had met or discussed anything.

This allowed Wei Dong to finally meet the seven-year-old child who was already 1.5 meters tall!

Shy, but her eyes darted around.

Dong Xueqing, who had specially brought her child to the meet-and-greet to experience it, was still in a daze of disbelief even after the two families boarded a plane together to Pengzhen!
So Wei Dong could tell that Xiao Ming really disliked being treated like a monster, so he patted the little guy on the shoulder and reminded him to go to Hong Kong to see some older brothers, and then they didn't talk to each other anymore.

It mainly involves dealing with Xiao Ma.

Even though her son is already showing such a clear growth spurt, this tiger mom still has the typical Shanghai attitude: study hard and get into a good university to succeed. As for playing sports, just look at what your parents have accomplished; as long as it adds points on your exams, that's enough!

Shanghai's mother spoke quickly and firmly, which explained why Lao Xiao was so quiet.

It almost made Wei Dong laugh himself to death.

He didn't say much, only explaining the tour group's itinerary.

I'll fly over and land in Guangzhou, first visit Shenzhen to see and do some sightseeing, and then go to Hong Kong to celebrate the Spring Festival. Whether I make a decision or not doesn't matter.

As we learned at the meeting, even though the basketball department had its eye on Xiao Xiao, his mother was not giving an inch and had not allowed her son to participate in training at the sports school so far, so there were no restrictions from the system at present.

There is still time to consider it.

So when they drove from Yuezhou to Pengzhen, sixteen-year-old Lamu looked at Xiao Xiao, who was about the same height as her, and treated him as her peer. She asked Xiao Cong to help carry her down, while she took care of the noisy eldest princess. Because her younger sister heard that Mao'er had arrived in Pengzhen ahead of time, she quietly began to put on makeup and get ready.

While secretly taking photos, Dong Xueqing, who was secretly smiling, helped with the editing.

Xiao's mother found this family very puzzling. The youngest didn't study, and the eldest was uneducated. What future could they possibly have?
And why would such a young girl need makeup?
She didn't even notice the BMW leading the way and the Mitsubishi following behind, and let Wei Dong drive this Dodge minivan, which was specially transferred from Hong Kong, just to make it easier for Lao Xiao, who is over two meters tall.

Xiao Cong is already the foolish son of a landlord who could become a landlord even without studying. He leans against his brother's chest and chuckles.

As soon as we parked in Pengzhen, two mastiffs, each half a person's height, rushed over excitedly, their mouths dripping with saliva, and bumped into the van, making the vehicle sway.

The Xiao family of three were terrified, but Chongchong struggled to get up from her little brother's arms, climbed through the car door opened by Zhuoma, and onto the big dog's back, riding away...

He rode away...

Another terrier, which looked fiercer and more capable, came over wagging its tail and was petted on the head. Then, a little monkey rolled out from under the dog's belly and jumped into the young master's arms.

Hu Haining was dumbfounded. Wei Dong even muttered under his breath, "You can't do this! The child will lose his sense of danger, and not all dogs are this friendly to him!"

The former zoo director looked down on her husband: "Chongchong grew up holding a tiger cub. Who would dare to bully him? Animals communicate by sensing emotions. The animal experts' statements and Mao'er's tricks prove this point. This is called a childlike heart!"

The look in Lao Xiao's eyes when he looked at Wei Dong was clearly asking, "What does your family do? Are you an opera troupe?"
The main thing is that the myna bird perched on Mao'er's shoulder looks too much like a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).

However, with the construction over the past two years, the West District Electronic Industrial Park has become quite large.

The two large triangular towers are dormitory buildings that can accommodate three to four thousand people each, while the residential complex of nearly ten individual buildings is suitable for couples to start a family and can accommodate about four thousand households.

This corresponds to wafer fabs, packaging plants, sound card factories, speaker factories, and headphone factories, plus garment factories, sanitary napkin factories, cosmetic factories, etc., clustered together with container factories on the other side of the coast.

Therefore, recruitment continued uninterrupted, and residential dormitories were also continuously built in tandem with the factory construction.

On the nearby foothills, there are also clusters of "expert buildings" that have been completed or are under construction.

The project aims to provide over 400 townhouses and mid-rise apartments, prioritizing accommodation for foreign experts and engineers.

Executives have to wait their turn.

They told Wei Dong and his family not to live in places like this, and that every time they came, they would go to the city construction company headquarters in the very center.

The plot of land that Wei Dong and the college students cleared by cutting down banana groves and weeds is now a large eight-story building in the shape of the Chinese character "凹".

The offices, meeting rooms, canteen, and the upstairs guesthouse were all brought together.

To facilitate accommodation for all visiting managers on business trips, Li Xuehong also lives here.

After Wei Dong went to Lao Fang's place to get scolded and obtain the certificate, he sent the old man back to celebrate the Spring Festival. When he returned, he happily joined the young people from various departments on the basketball court in front of the headquarters building.

The Xiao family of three stood to the side, frowning as they watched the amateur basketball players' skill level, wondering what kind of rubbish they were playing.

The key point is that even at this level, thousands of people were drawn in and watching with great interest.

The company atmosphere felt extremely sycophantic.

This certainly proves that the owner truly loves basketball.

After eight or nine o'clock at night, Wei Dong took his daughter and strolled along the street to the seaside with his entourage. Along the way, many people came out of various factories and office buildings to join them, and they all got the opportunity to talk freely with the boss.

Dong Xueqing also invited the family to go for a walk and have a late-night snack.

They're keeping you in suspense—there's a special view to see!

Xiao Ming was still a child at heart, always secretly watching Chongchong riding the mastiff, and especially envious of the little monkey in his arms.

But if you get even a little closer, the roaming terrier will growl as a warning.

It was only after Wei Dong emphasized that dogs should be kept on a leash that Mao'er finally put the free-roaming dog on a leather leash.

It's only about a kilometer long, Dong Xueqing explained, "Our family's factory is right along the whole route!"
These people are all part of our team.

The four-lane road was also built by the city construction company itself. Walking along the wide sidewalks on both sides to the shore, you suddenly see a huge light in the night quietly moored on the shore, with people coming and going!

Only by seeing it in person can you truly appreciate how awe-inspiring a 200-meter-long behemoth is; it's far more magnificent than the small sampans that the Strategic Deception Bureau filmed later.

Employees of various Taiwanese and Hong Kong-funded factories in the western district, as well as teachers and students from nearby Pengda University, now enjoy coming to the aircraft carrier park at night.

Admission is free; the huge deck is essentially a plaza.

One side of the street was filled with people dancing and singing karaoke, while the other side was packed with food and snacks. The crowds were so large that even playing basketball was impossible.

Actually, the sheer size of the community, with nearly 10,000 people, is enough to make this place lively. Now, there are also many people from the city who come here to see something unusual, and this happens every day.

After Li Xuehong took over the entire asset management, her main task was to transform the large hangar accessible via the gangway into a free library.

Migrant workers and adventurers from all over the country can read books and newspapers for free here, and also eat, shower and stay overnight for free.

Perhaps it's because of my own experience coming to Shenzhen to make my way in the world that women can better understand the predicament of intellectuals.

By deliberately using the free library as a filter, all the players who were busy going from the hangar lobby to the deck to play and eat were not people who liked reading books and newspapers.

Only those who actively come here will feel relaxed and at ease.

You'll then see a small sign next to the book lending counter that says "Special Zone Home." Anyone who comes to Pengzhen to work and live but hasn't yet solved their food and lodging problems can register here for a meal and a night's stay, but not for consecutive nights.

The recruitment information for various factories is also posted next to it.

Recruitment efficiency is extremely high!

There weren't many people even seeking lodging; they all flocked to the Dongsheng Electronic Industrial Park without hesitation, drawn by the job postings.

Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, the Xiao family of three followed Wei Dong and the others upstairs with curiosity and disbelief, watching their bustling leisure life.

Watch as Rang Weidong, eating meat with gusto and drinking wine from large bowls, chats with a constant stream of people from all walks of life about various aspects of his work.

Is this the vibrant spirit of the special economic zone?
When they arrived in Hong Kong, they realized this was the spirit of Tung Sing!
