Chapter 342 Meeting
At the steel mill, the senior executives of the steel mill are holding a meeting to discuss something.
Liu Pingan was sitting in a corner, drinking tea from his cup alone, not caring about the content of the meeting at all.
Yes, now that Liu Ping'an has become the section chief, he is eligible to attend the meeting of the steel mill. Of course, he is just there to make up the numbers, and he cannot influence any decision.
At this moment, someone was talking about Yang Weimin's recent deeds at the steel mill. The meaning was obvious: he was targeting the factory director.
However, surprisingly, before Director Yang started to protect his nephew, Li Huaide blocked the attack for him. There was no reason, Li Huaide himself was not clean either.
"Okay, let's not talk about this little thing anymore. Who is willing to go with me to the Canton Fair in Guangdong Province this year?"
Border cities are either heavily guarded or gateways to the outside world. Those heavily guarded are naturally places where land is connected. Those open to the outside world are naturally more likely to be port cities near the sea.
One is that it is close to the sea, so there are no border issues. As long as the ships going out to sea are controlled, there will be no problem in the general direction. Of course, there are also people who grew up near the sea and are brave enough to cross the sea physically. But they are a minority after all.
Since the relationship with Big Brother deteriorated, the higher-ups have attached more importance to the Canton Fair, which was held in Guangdong Province in 1957. They have opened many policies, conveniences, and backdoors.
Director Yang's immediate superior had gone to Guangdong Province to take charge of some work, so he must have held a high position. However, Liu Ping'an had no idea what he did specifically.
Although I have memories of my later life. According to my life experience over the past decade, the development trajectory of this parallel world is roughly the same as the world I lived in in my previous life. However, when it comes to some unknown things, I believe that most people, except those who specialize in studying history, are also confused.
Originally, Director Yang was the one who led the trip to the south. However, a few days ago, a group of important people came to the factory, so the director who was in charge of production had to stay behind to take charge.
In the end, this matter fell on Li Huaide's head.
In fact, Director Yang was unwilling to let the executive deputy director go. At this moment, the fight between the two had reached a white-hot stage, and they would enter the final decisive battle when the secretary above them stepped down in a year.
Director Yang had a purpose for going to the Canton Fair this time. That was to meet his patron, the big boss. He had been away from Beijing for several years, and there was no news from him.
If he couldn't get in touch with him, the secretary would retire next year, and he wouldn't be sure of facing Li Huaide, who was backed by his father-in-law. It was not just a saying that a high-ranking official could crush a high-ranking official, not to mention that he was the leader of the Ministry of Industry, the superior department of the steel mill.
However, Secretary Wan just wanted to retire peacefully and get his pension, and didn't care about anything else. He simply refused the offer on the grounds that he was too old to travel long distances.
Nowadays, business trips are a tough job. Not only are there no benefits, but it is also easy to get sick from the local climate, so not many people are willing to go.
"Well, if no one objects, the quota for this business trip to Guangdong Province is confirmed."
"Xiao Zheng, please count the number of people who are going on the business trip and read it to everyone to see if there is anyone missed." Li Huaide said to a secretary behind him.
"Okay, Director Li, I've written it down. I'll read it to you now."
"Yeah." Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction. His new secretary was pretty good. As for the previous Xiao Wang, he couldn't stand the loneliness and asked him to demote him. After all, he had been with him for so many years. Li Huaide didn't treat his former secretary badly. He directly found a good job for Xiao Wang and sent him out.
Then, Secretary Zheng confirmed the list. If nothing unexpected happened and no one objected, the meeting would end after the list was confirmed.
However, when Liu Ping'an's name was read, he couldn't help but raise a question.
How come my name is on the list? What did we say at the meeting just now? At this moment, Liu Pingan, who was planning his own business empire after the reform and opening up, naturally came back to his senses when his name was called.
"Chief Liu, do you have any questions?" Secretary Zheng paused and asked Liu Ping'an.
I don't know! What happened? Can you tell me? This is what Liu Ping'an really thought at this moment, but he is naturally not stupid enough to say what he really thinks.
I could only bite the bullet and say, "It's nothing, just continue."
After receiving Liu Ping'an's answer, Secretary Zheng nodded and continued the work he had not completed.
"The above is the list of our steel mill going to the Canton Fair in Guangdong Province. If anyone has any questions or difficulties and cannot go, please tell us now. The leaders are all here, so we can solve them all at once."
Well, now that you've said that, what else can we say? Even if we don't want to go, we can't say it in this meeting!
Liu Ping'an now understood the whole story, but he just couldn't remember when his name was added.
In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say along with everyone else: "No problem."
"Okay, since there are no questions, today's meeting ends here."
Many people, like Liu Ping'an, were waiting for the old secretary to say this. At this moment, they had already begun to impatiently pack up their things on the table, ready to follow the leaders after they left.
During meetings, the higher-ranking officials usually sit at the top, farthest from the door. However, this does not affect them from being the first to leave.
At this moment, Li Huaide whispered a few words in the secretary's ear. His voice was very low and no one knew what he was saying. However, Liu Ping'an, who had extraordinary hearing, heard it clearly. Well, something happened again. You'd better sit down! I can't leave now.
Wait, wait, wait, just a few tapping sounds of fingers on the table, the noisy conference room suddenly quieted down. This is what Li Huaide often does before speaking. Everyone is familiar with this.
I just don’t know, the meeting is over, does Director Li have anything else to say?
