“Lin Ge, you absolutely must remember to ask the counselor for leave on my behalf. I have important business this time.”
After parting ways with Zhang Weiyang, Chen Yang bought a ticket home. He needed to visit the Fermented Fish factory. He had already been considering promoting their fermented fish products.
This time, with the added need for US dollars, it was even more imperative to go out. If he could sell the products, the US dollars would come in, right? Even if he couldn't sell them, going to Hong Kong would provide an opportunity to exchange for US dollars.
“Yangzi, you’re giving me a tough assignment!”
“Your counselor isn’t simple. I hear she has a very strong background and is probably not easy to talk to.”
“I’ll do my best. If she really makes trouble, you’ll have to figure out a way to deal with her when you get back.”
Wang Baolin was usually confident at school, but thinking of Chen Yang's counselor, he still lacked confidence.
“Lin Ge, just handle it. If she doesn’t agree, I’ll talk to her when I get back.”
Chen Yang didn't care too much. Going to Hong Kong this time was extremely important to him. Even if Zhang Yingying dealt with him afterward, he had to go.
Watching Chen Yang enter the train station, Wang Baolin and Liu Xiangyu felt a pang of emotion.
Seeing Chen Yang, who was younger than them, casually discussing figures in the hundreds of thousands of US dollars and associating with people like the director of the Shanghai Industry and Commerce Bureau, they felt the pressure.
“Xiangyu, we need to work harder now. Otherwise, we really won’t have the qualifications to chat with our junior classmate anymore.”
Liu Xiangyu didn’t reply but nodded. In his heart, however, he secretly resolved to visit Teacher Liang and see if he could go to the place the old man mentioned to learn.
Making money was important, but time waits for no one. Their junior classmate was working so hard, while he was still only focused on small amounts of money, which put him at a disadvantage.
Even if it was just to help out, he could learn things in advance. A slow bird starts flying early; the sooner he got involved with these things, the faster he would pick them up when he truly started working.
Chen Yang was now on the train back to Anhui Province. He had no idea that his display of skill today had made Liu Xiangyu slightly more ambitious.
Liu Xiangyu had originally hoped to help his family pay off their debts as soon as possible. But now, due to Chen Yang’s excellence, it had spurred his desire to start working earlier.
They were all young, and naturally, there was a sense of comparison. Who wouldn’t want to be more outstanding, or at least not too far behind others?
“This has really exceeded my expectations. I never thought Weiyang would pull off something like this for me.”
“Originally, I planned to arrange housing in Shanghai before bringing Xue’er and the little ones home. Now, with nothing prepared, I have to go home first.”
Thinking of his wife and his little ones, Chen Hao and young Chen Peng, a smile appeared on Chen Yang’s face. Although he had only been gone for about half a month, he already missed his wife and children dearly.
Because he was returning home in the afternoon unexpectedly, it was already evening when he arrived in Feishi. Chen Yang’s introduction letter from school had already been collected by the school during registration.
He had returned in a hurry this time and hadn't obtained a new introduction letter from the school. There was no other way, so he had to go to the guesthouse near the department store. He found the manager of the department store, which saved him from sleeping on the streets. Sudan Novel Network.
The next morning, Chen Yang thought about it and decided not to go home directly but to visit Zou Chenguang first.
Zou Chenguang had been promoted, and he hadn’t had the chance to congratulate him yet. Moreover, he needed to handle procedures for going to Hong Kong this time, and he would likely need to trouble the old gentleman again.
Zou Chenguang was now in the provincial government, and his connections would surely be wider. With him there, Chen Yang could use the excuse of promoting the fermented fish factory’s products to earn foreign exchange and apply to go to Hong Kong, which should not be a problem.
“Manager Qin, I’ve really troubled you this time. Last night, you arranged a welcome and accommodation, and today you still have to accompany me to visit Director Zou.”
Chen Yang thanked Qin Youfeng, who had arranged breakfast for him early in the morning. Although it was just sweet potato窩窩頭 and millet porridge, he had still come early to make arrangements.
In this era, this was the condition. At least, he had given him ample face.
Of course, Chen Yang also knew the reason. Qin Youfeng’s position was largely thanks to Chen Yang.
If the previous manager of the department store hadn’t been so clueless and had provoked Chen Yang, he wouldn’t have been dismissed by the leaders of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and Qin Youfeng wouldn’t be in his current position.
“Boss Chen, what are you saying? The Dream Radio is an industry that the entire industry and commerce system should warmly welcome. Director Zou himself gave the order.”
“It’s not just the Dream Radio; other individual businesses are the same. Anyone who has business dealings with our department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives should be helped as much as possible by the Industry and Commerce Bureau.”
Qin Youfeng naturally did not take credit and was very polite. Chen Yang asking him to lead the way to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to visit Zou Chenguang did not seem troublesome to him.
He would be overjoyed to have such a good opportunity!
Otherwise, as just a department store manager, it would still be a stretch for him to meet Zou Chenguang, the director of the Anhui Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Chen Yang also understood that if Qin Youfeng hadn’t been so savvy, he wouldn’t have bothered taking him along.
People are like this. You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours. Except for one’s own parents, no one will treat you well for no reason. Therefore, don’t accept others’ kindness as a matter of course while being unwilling to reciprocate. Such relationships are bound to be unsustainable.
After breakfast, Qin Youfeng personally rode his bicycle with Chen Yang to the Anhui Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Because Anhui Province had produced the Dream Radio and newly established the Fermented Fish factory, it had made a name for itself throughout the country. Even the leaders from higher up had greatly praised it.
Otherwise, how could Zou Chenguang have been promoted again, even breaking regulations, and taken charge of the Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau less than a year after his last promotion?
However, after being in his position for so long, Zou Chenguang was still struggling to find solutions for the industrial and commercial development of Anhui Province.
Although Anhui Province appeared to be far ahead of other provinces, it was, after all, an inland province. As the saying goes, you live off the mountains if you are in the mountains, and off the water if you are by the water.
Anhui Province had neither a sea nor mines. Although the Dream Radio and the Fermented Fish factory had made a name for themselves, Zou Chenguang knew that this was all due to Chen Yang’s ability.
Apart from these two, the development of individual businesses in Anhui Province was very poor, even far behind Jiangsu Province, which had started later, let alone Zhejiang Province.
Zou Chenguang was troubled, wondering how to mobilize the Anhui people’s productivity and invigorate the economy. Suddenly, his secretary knocked and entered.
“Director, Boss Chen, Chen Yang is here. He wishes to pay his respects to you.”
The secretary was out of breath. He usually handled his work with composure, and it was rare to see him so flustered. But this time was different; that man had arrived!
This was the man the director had mentioned countless times in meetings. Anyone with a brain could see how important he was to the director. Now that Chen Yang was here, how could he not be excited!
