Chapter 178 Liu Haizhong's chance to become an official has arrived; he buys ginseng seeds from
The broadcast was played three times in a row, and everyone in the factory heard it.
Qin Jingru was also slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Director Li would be promoted from deputy director to director so quickly.
"Brother Wang Feng, Director Li has been promoted to director. Will that affect us?" Qin Jingru asked with some concern.
Wang Feng laughed and said, "Jingru, I have a good relationship with Director Li. What impact will his promotion from deputy director to director have on us? If we're talking about impact, it's a good thing for us."
"Okay, that's good."
Wang Feng never expected that this time, not only would Director Yang be removed from office, but he would also be framed by Li Huaide for embezzling a huge amount of public funds and would be detained and investigated. This was much more serious than the street sweeping incident in the original story.
It's estimated that even if Director Yang doesn't die this time, he'll be stuck in the Northwest for life and never come back.
Factory Director Yang lost his backing, and not long after, he was killed by Li Huaide. This shows how important a powerful backer is.
When everyone in the factory heard that Director Yang had stepped down, been detained and taken away, and that Deputy Director Li had taken over, they were shocked for a long time. In particular, the factory leaders who were directly related to Director Yang were terrified. If Director Yang stepped down, how could their lineage possibly survive?
As for the factory workers, they didn't care, since it didn't affect their monthly wages of a few dozen yuan. After the initial shock, they continued to work hard.
Forging workshop.
Liu Haizhong, who was wielding a sledgehammer, showed excitement upon hearing that Director Yang had stepped down.
When Director Yang was in office, he was in charge of production. He had given Director Yang gifts before, hoping that Director Yang would give him a promotion. However, Director Yang not only refused to accept his gifts, but also scolded him.
I heard that Deputy Factory Director Li is very easy to talk to. Now that he has been promoted to Factory Director, isn't this his chance?
Thinking of this, he quickly summoned his apprentices and said, "Give your master some advice. Now that Deputy Factory Director Li has been promoted to Factory Director, how can I, your master, get an official position?"
It must be said that Liu Haizhong is not cut out to be an official, but he is very good at teaching apprentices.
He now has more than a dozen apprentices. The highest level apprentice, Lanxiang, is a level six blacksmith, and the lowest level apprentice is a level two blacksmith. Among his more than a dozen apprentices, seven are at least level four blacksmiths.
Lan Xiang had been learning blacksmithing from Liu Haizhong for the longest time, and he knew very well Liu Haizhong's ambition for officialdom. However, Liu Haizhong treated him very well, not only teaching him wholeheartedly, but also often helping him financially when he was in trouble.
Lan Xiang frowned and said, "Master, now that Director Yang has stepped down and Director Li has taken office, there should be many other leaders stepping down as well. How about this, we brothers raise some money together, and you go and give Director Li some gifts. Plus, you are a level seven blacksmith, and with the support of so many of us brothers, the probability of you becoming a leader is still very high."
Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "How can that be? How can your master use your money to give gifts? How about this, you each lend me a little, and I'll pay you back slowly after I get my salary."
"Master, we know about your family's recent situation. Besides, all of us fellow disciples are at least level two blacksmiths. It shouldn't be a problem for us to raise a few hundred yuan together. Master has helped us so much before, so please don't be so polite with us."
"Yes, Master, I am a Level 5 blacksmith. I'll contribute 50 yuan. Once you become a leader, we'll have a brighter future, won't we?"
"Master, I am a level three blacksmith, I will offer thirty."
"I'm a level two worker, I'll contribute twenty."
Lan Xiang smiled and nodded: "Master, please accept it. This is all a token of my junior brothers' goodwill. I am a level six blacksmith and the eldest brother, so I will contribute one hundred."
Liu Haizhong was deeply moved to see how filial his apprentices were. He thought to himself, "My three sons are all so filial, even their apprentices are so filial. Why are my three sons like this?"
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Haizhong firmly shook his head and said, "Master knows your intentions. Everyone is having a hard time right now. Consider whatever amount you each contributed as a loan from Master. Lan Xiang, go get some paper and pen. I'll pay back whatever amount the junior brothers contributed when I get my salary. Otherwise, Master would rather not send gifts at all."
Seeing Liu Haizhong's insistence, the group of apprentices had no choice but to agree.
Soon, after a quick tally, the total came to five hundred yuan.
However, none of us have any money with us right now, so we have to go home and get it.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Xiang said to Liu Haizhong, "Master, I suggest we use these five hundred yuan to exchange for two small yellow croakers. Giving small yellow croakers as gifts might be more effective than giving money directly."
Liu Haizhong nodded: "Lanxiang, here's what you do. After you get off work, collect all the money your junior brothers have, and tonight go to the black market and exchange it for two small yellow croakers."
"Yes, Master, I promise to handle this matter well."
......
the other side.
Wang Feng chatted with Qin Jingru for a while in the third canteen, and then found Liu Lan.
"Sister Lan, how's Liu Yuhua's situation?"
Liu Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Wang Feng, why are you in such a hurry? The matter of Yan Jiecheng killing the chicken is still unresolved. Even if you tell Liu Yuhua now, she might not agree to meet with Yan Jiecheng. However, Liu Yuhua and I have gotten along quite well these past few days. I will talk to her when I have the chance."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's lips twitched. As expected of a big mouth, he could chat with anyone.
"Sister Lan, please take this matter seriously. I'll be going now."
"Let's go, let's go."
As Wang Feng left the steel rolling mill and arrived at the factory gate, he saw Director Yang being escorted into a jeep by the security department.
Factory Director Yang's eyes were lifeless, like a walking corpse, as if he had lost his soul. He didn't even glance at Wang Feng as Wang Feng passed by.
Little did he know that his removal from office and subsequent arrest were indirectly caused by Wang Feng.
Wang Feng didn't greet Director Yang. He rode his bicycle to the traditional Chinese medicine shop, hoping to see if they sold ginseng seeds.
He had gone into the mountains several times before, but because his spiritual awareness was too limited, he had not found any ginseng. He asked the village chief of Lujia Village to collect ginseng and seeds, but they had not been received.
Ginseng must be planted. It has a flow rate of ten times the space and the water of life. Only by planting ginseng can the profits be maximized.
When the tiger in his space grows up, he can use ginseng to make tiger bone wine.
Upon entering the traditional Chinese medicine shop, Wang Feng went straight to an elderly man with white hair and asked, "Hello sir, do you sell ginseng seeds here?"
The white-haired old man carefully examined Wang Feng, then shook his head: "No, go look somewhere else."
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Feng walked out of the Chinese medicine shop disappointed, but he hadn't gone far when a young man chased after him from the shop.
"Comrade, please wait."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng instinctively wanted to run, but then he came to his senses and stopped. This wasn't the Investiture of the Gods, so what was he afraid of?
Wang Feng turned around and saw that the person who came was a young man wearing a Zhongshan suit. He had seen this person at the Chinese medicine shop before.
"Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Instead of answering, the young man in the Zhongshan suit asked, "Comrade, you want ginseng seeds, right?"
Hearing the man's tone, Wang Feng felt a surge of excitement. Could this man possibly have obtained ginseng seeds?
Wang Feng nodded calmly and asked, "Comrade, I need some ginseng seeds. Can you get your hands on some?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Comrade, starting this year, ginseng seeds have been classified as controlled items and are subject to unified planning and control from above. It's probably impossible for you to buy seeds in a traditional Chinese medicine shop now. However, I have a channel here, but I don't know what price you can offer."
