A voice came from behind them. Ji Xingmi stood up, greeted Old Mao with a morning salutation, and then slumped back onto the table.
Old Mao looked at her lazy posture and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"
"No! I'm too hungry to move!" As soon as Ji Xingmi finished speaking, the three old men burst into laughter. Gu Jingyi came in carrying a bowl of mixed sauce noodles. He stiffened when he saw Old Mao, then placed the noodles in front of Ji Xingmi. After setting down the bowl, he greeted the three old men.
Without thinking, Ji Xingmi pushed the noodles towards Old Mao and said, "Grandpa Mao, you eat first!" Old Mao moved the noodles back and said, "I still have strength. You eat first! You need to be full to give your report! Eat quickly!"
This time, she didn't hesitate and directly held the noodle bowl and began to eat. Gu Jingyi went back to the kitchen and brought out a new bowl of mixed sauce noodles for Old Mao, and also a bowl of small wontons for Ji Xingmi. Ji Xingmi smiled at him and buried her face back in the bowl. At this moment, Mushroom also brought breakfast upstairs. Everyone stopped talking and ate their breakfast.
Ji Xingmi was the first to finish. She couldn't finish the wontons, but thankfully Gu Jingyi helped her eat some. After wiping her mouth, she sat on the side and waited for everyone else. Soon, they all entered Old Hua's conference room together, as the main study couldn't accommodate so many people. Spider and Big Tiger voluntarily went to stand guard around the perimeter. Some who had come to gather information saw this scene and retreated.
Ji Xingmi had made several extra copies of the report last night. After distributing them, she began to explain the plans mentioned in her report. Everyone read through them meticulously, point by point.
Elder Ye became increasingly excited. This report essentially guaranteed the follow-up for retired soldiers, especially those who were injured and discharged. He knew that many people had not received proper care upon their return, but his abilities were limited, and they didn't have enough financial resources to subsidize them. More often, it was the serving personnel who chipped in a little, as a gesture of goodwill. However, everyone had families to support and their capacities were limited, making it impossible to look after everyone.
"There must be assessment standards for this, right? To date, tens of thousands of people have been injured and discharged. Which military region to start with is also a very important issue," Chen Cang also offered his opinion. He thought the plan was excellent, but in his view, there were still some difficulties in achieving it.
"Of course, this matter certainly cannot be completed all at once. And I think those who are living comfortably can be temporarily set aside. We should first address those who are facing financial difficulties. And the issue of children of fallen soldiers, on the ... fifth page, I have also made notes."
Everyone turned to that page and began to read what she had written. Chen Cang read quickly and then looked up, saying, "Very thorough. This is a major undertaking!"
"Indeed. I intend to first prepare a pilot program to see if this model can work. If the results here are good, then we will promote it downwards! This way, it can gradually expand, and each military region can also be covered."
Old Mao spoke at this moment: "Are you planning to do this yourself, or...?"
"Either is fine with me! If the country is facing difficulties now, then I will do this myself. If the country decides to participate, I can provide the plan and the model!"
Old Hua pondered for a moment and then said, "I think it's best to leave this matter to you for now. If we get involved now, how many people will want to get a piece of the pie? It will be difficult for her to refuse then, and it's still just a pilot program, and it's not certain it will succeed! If it proves viable in the future, we can get involved then, and it will also serve as a safeguard."
Old Mao was also considering this issue. His thoughts were somewhat similar to Old Hua's, but he was more confident that this matter could be accomplished! If it succeeded, it would be a matter of great benefit to the people, and promoting it without their support would be very difficult. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Grandpa Ye can first organize the personnel data related to this for me, and then I will go and further refine this plan. We will take it step by step!"
"Yes, we eat rice one bite at a time! Let's start preparing slowly. We still need to arrange the previous matters first, such as the tax issue mentioned by Jingyi, and the regulatory departments. These all need to have a charter first!..."
Chen Cang and Secretary Sun were diligently writing. Midway through, Old Mao sent someone to invite everyone else to a meeting. "Xing'er, you go back to your room first?" Old Mao temporarily didn't want Ji Xingmi to be exposed to more people.
"I want to go out and play!" Ji Xingmi knew Old Mao's intentions, but she didn't want to stay in her room. She wanted to go out and find something to do.
"Remember to take people with you!" Old Hua didn't refuse, he just cautioned her a few words. Ji Xingmi nodded and left.
Her movements were swift. The others hadn't arrived yet when she left. Gu Jingyi gave her the address for making clothes, which she took. As for whether she would go, that would be decided later.
Ji Xingmi first went to find Chen Jianguo, but Chen Jianguo was not at home either. Aunt Chen wanted to keep her for a while longer, but Ji Xingmi made an excuse and left. As she was leaving, she sent him a message and learned he was at the warehouse, so she changed direction and headed there.
