Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 987 Zhang Shitun

Chen Hui said to Xiao Wei, "You also need to be quick-witted; being too rigid and serious won't work."

Hao Xiaobo said, "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now. We don't even know where to buy groceries yet, so we'll go out for a walk and familiarize ourselves with the area."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, it's just a meeting. Let's go back. From here, head west to the farmers' market. Just ask around around those tall buildings. There's a small market across the street, but it's not as lively as that one."

Chen Hui said, "Over there are basically middlemen, while over here are stalls set up by local farmers."

Hao Xiaodong said, "Where exactly is the boiler? I'll go take a look first thing tomorrow morning."

Chen Hui said, "Zhongjie, the Rose Hotel, is in the old Northern Trade City compound. Everyone knows it if you ask around. Take a look at the map."

Hao Xiaodong got up and went to look at the map, saying, "I'll go check on the pre-buried pipes so I'll have a better idea of ​​what to do later. I won't feel at ease if I don't check the corrosion protection."

Chen Hui said, "Don't worry, the artillery division sent people to handle it, it'll be top-notch, it'll definitely save face for our Brother Wei."

Hao Xiaodong said, "If it's really the military doing this, that's fine. I'd better go and take a look."

Hao Xiaobo got up and looked at the map with Hao Xiaodong. Huang Laowu said, "Then I'll go to the HR department and report for duty. Hey, I'm taken now. Xiaowei, Manager Zhang, where will I eat from now on? Home?"

Chen Hui said, "Aren't you going back to take care of your wife and kids? By the way, during the day, have your wife take the kids to play in the yard. My son and Lao Xia's son are both there. It'll be easier for the adults if the kids are together. You can just grab something to eat at the cafeteria for lunch."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "His house is huge! Xiao Xiao Hui and Xia Gensheng will turn into toys."

Chen Hui said, "It's okay, go play. We'll see when you're older."

Huang Laowu slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it, Chen, do you want to die? You think you can mess with me?" Then he smiled: "Are you serious? How about we settle things now? I don't mind that you're young, I'm all for it."

Chen Hui waved his hand: "Get out, get out, get lost."

Huang Laowu laughed and went out with Hao Xiaodong and his brother. Chen Hui said, "This kid, if he's right, he'll be a great general; if he's wrong, he can ruin everything."

Xiao Wei said, "It's not inherently bad. Even if it's slippery, it won't slide downhill. It's fine."

Chen Hui stretched and said, "Let's take a shower. My body is sore and achy, let's get a scrub."

Xiao Wei said, "Why don't you build a bathhouse in this factory? It's not very convenient to go to the bathhouse across the street now. I heard that there's always a long queue, and the bathhouse across the street is too small."

Chen Hui walked to the window and looked down, saying, "Setting up a shower here is fine; it's really inconvenient. How big would it be for several hundred people?"

Xiao Wei said, "If you're going to move it, move it over there. There's a vegetable garden across from the school, right? Move it over, build a bigger one, and open it to the public."

Chen Hui said, "We still need to work on the Hun River; that place is a bit out of the way. There are quite a few people there."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Dean Cheng has designed it to be integrated with the brewery, consider it a supporting facility. We'll add a sauna directly, and they'll issue invoices to our own staff, which will be free with the receipts. We also need to add a bathhouse, shopping mall, supermarket, and gas station there, and contact the bus company. We'll ask the city to handle it."

Chen Hui said, "We also need to contact the taxi company. Oh, right." He walked over and took out his notebook: "I need to write this down. When I get back, I'll go find the power company there; the wiring needs to be changed."

The phone rang.

Xiao Wei said, "I called all day yesterday, and it didn't ring all day today. I was wondering why, but it's here now." He went over and answered it.

It is Li, the district head of Tiexi.

"Chairman Zhang, are you free right now?"

Xiao Wei said, "District Chief Li, you're too kind. Just call me Xiao Wei; that's what the elders call me. Are you free now? I'm not busy today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

District Chief Li said, "Then can you come over here? Just come directly to me."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Chen Hui, "Let's go to Tiexi."

Chen Hui put the notebook into his bag, slung it over his shoulder, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Wei glanced at the time and said, "I don't know. You can't possibly not go, can you? Wow, so dedicated! It's almost time to get off work, what the hell?"

Xiao Wei and Shi Li exchanged some words, then Xiao Wei and Chen Hui went downstairs and drove to Tiexi.

Chen Hui said, "I guess it's about investments. It adds up to several hundred million yuan, a huge sum of money. The whole province will be jumping up and down with excitement."

At this time, the Tiexi government was still building Tiexi Square on the main road. It was still a roundabout with a large fountain that was very popular at the time, and a tall sculpture stood in the very center of the roundabout.

The government buildings are several old buildings, all only three stories high, with no courtyards. The gates are directly in front of the road, and a few cars are parked haphazardly in front of them. There are also a few street vendors pushing carts, squinting at the traffic on the road, waiting for someone to come and buy something.

Xiao Wei drove the car around the roundabout and parked it in front of the government building.

It was already past closing time, and government staff came out in twos and threes, carrying briefcases. They pushed their bicycles out from the side of the building, hopped on, rang the bell, and joined the flow of bicycles on the road. At this time, the road was densely packed with bicycles, forming two streams of people on both sides of the road, moving slowly.

As they got out of the car and walked into the building, District Chief Li and two men came out talking to them. Looking up and seeing Xiao Wei and Chen Hui, they smiled and waved, saying, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is our Development Zone Director, Secretary Dong. This is Director Jing of the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau. This is Chairman Zhang and General Manager Chen of the Brothers Group."

The group of people shook hands and introduced themselves to each other in the hallway, under the watchful eyes of the staff coming and going.

District Chief Li said, "Let's walk and talk as we go." He raised his hand to check the time.

The five men went outside, and District Chief Li said to Director Jing, "Shall we ride in Chairman Zhang's car? His car is big, so we can save some money on gas." He pointed to Xiao Wei's car.

Director Jing smiled and said, "Okay, let's ride in a nice car this time."

Five people got into the car, with three leaders sitting in the back. After closing the door, Xiao Wei asked, "District Chief, where are we going?"

District Chief Li said, "Go to the development zone, turn left, enter Xinghua Street, let's go."

In 92, I came from Tiexi to the forest park. At that time, this was the Yu Hong Nursery Base. Once you crossed the railway to the west, it was a wilderness. Zhangshitun really was a village.

Guided by District Chief Li, the car drove to the Development Zone Management Committee. At that time, the new building was still out of sight; instead, there was the six-story cement building with an exhibition hall across the street, which was still considered a new building in 92.

The supporting facilities here are clearly not up to par. The roads are still dirt roads, and dust is flying everywhere. The original green spaces and vegetable fields have been bulldozed and look like they've been chewed by dogs.

Behind the management committee building was a boiler room. Chen Hui glanced at it and said, "Looks like it's going to be tough; the supporting facilities haven't arrived yet."
