"Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year!" Xiao Yang said as he placed the gifts in his hands on the coffee table.
Liu Cuilan said enthusiastically, "You don't have to bring anything. Come, sit!"
Xiao Yang sat down and looked at the two sisters, Tong Huan and Tong Xin. His eyes lit up. He turned around excitedly and asked, "This is?"
Lu Yiwei said vaguely, "Tong Huan and Tong Xin, the sisters."
"Oh." Xiao Yang seemed to have guessed something. His eyes fell on Tong Xin. Their eyes met, and they quickly retracted their gaze as if they had been electrocuted. He opened the gift box and took out two shirts and female pajamas. "Brother Yiwei, these are produced by our textile factory. Give them to Auntie and Uncle to wear."
Liu Cuilan glanced at them and said, "How old am I to still wear pajamas? Perfect, give them to Tong Huan and Tong Huan." She picked them up and handed them to Tong Huan.
Tong Xin touched the soft pajamas and said excitedly, "The material is so good. Is it pure cotton?"
Xiao Yang explained, "This is Modale's."
"What is Modale?"
"This …" Xiao Yang could not explain it clearly. "It is a type of high fiber extracted from wood. It is pure cotton. The material and process are different."
"Oh." Tong Xin was confused. She touched the pajamas carefully and murmured, "I didn't expect Eastern State could produce such good stuff …"
Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Didn't the textile factory in Eastern State undergo a restructuring? After a famous southern clothing brand took control of the factory, they immediately eliminated the outdated technology and machinery and replaced it with modern production equipment and processing technology. The factory mainly produces skin-tight clothing. This is a sample from the trial run. The quality is superb. In the future, after mass production, it will be exported to other parts of the world."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei personally experienced the benefits of the restructuring. It also indirectly reflected the unique vision and advanced philosophy of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, Huang Jiyang. If the textile factory had not been restructured, it would probably still be half-dead, producing some semi-finished products that had long been eliminated. The profit was low and the efficiency was extremely poor. It could not even pay the workers' wages, let alone bonuses. After the reform, the results were immediate and obvious.
After chatting for a while, Lu Yiwei called Xiao Yang into the inner room for a conversation between men.
"The textile factory has been restructured. What is your father doing now?" Lu Yiwei asked. Xiao Yang's father used to be the director of the textile factory in Eastern City. With this restructuring, he would inevitably be laid off.
Sure enough, it was as expected. Xiao Yang said, "Since the private company has taken over, my dad naturally has nothing to do with it. During the relocation of the workers, the City Government wanted to transfer him to the cooperative. But he was not willing to do so. After all, he had worked in the textile factory all his life. Fortunately, the current boss valued relationships and rehired him to be the deputy general manager of the company, mainly in charge of production work. He was very unwilling. I used to drink tea and read the newspaper every day at work, but now I'm on the production line all day long. I'm much busier than before, hehe. "
Lu Yiwei sighed: "The Provincial Government's decision is brilliant. I sincerely admire Secretary Huang's foresight. This change saved a dying person and allowed many people to return to the glory days of the past. "
"Yes." Xiao Yang agreed. "The textile factory can be restructured successfully is all thanks to Secretary Zhang. Currently, the big boss of the textile factory was brought back by Secretary Zhang. In order to maximize the benefits of the employees, there were basically no major conflicts. This is similar to the restructuring of the Shuyang Coal Mine back then. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Secretary Zhang has a Master's in Economics and is good at managing the economy. He is especially good at implementing the Central Government's policies. He is a genius. " Actually, Lu Yiwei wanted to say that Zhang Zhiyuan is not suitable to work at the grassroots level. But he swallowed his words.
"Yes." Xiao Yang said with admiration. "That's why I want to continue working under Secretary Zhang. I can learn a lot from him."
Lu Yiwei asked. "You are not working for Mayor Han now? Is he not good? "
"You are talking about Mayor Han? He is still alright. " Xiao Yang said, "He is good at dealing with people, but his working ability is a bit lacking. He started his career as a frontline worker and got to where he is today. "
Hearing the disdain in Xiao Yang's tone, Lu Yiwei said seriously, "Xiao Yang, you can't say that. Everyone has their own strengths. Since Mayor Han is good at socializing, you should learn more from him. Furthermore, he started from the frontline and has a lot of experience. But you have only seen the surface of him, and you don't really understand him. "
Hearing Lu Yiwei's criticism, Xiao Yang lowered his head in embarrassment. "Thank you for your advice. I will remember it."
Lu Yiwei did not mean to lecture him, so he changed the topic. "I heard there has been a big change in the Eastern State government. Do you have any news?"
Xiao Yang lowered his voice and said, "Ever since the mayor was transferred away, the whole Eastern State government is in chaos. Everyone is eager to take action, and the competition is fierce. The hottest candidates for mayor are the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Han. Both of them are secretly competing with each other, and Mayor Han's popularity is higher. But as long as the higher-ups don't say anything, anything is possible. If a mayor is dropped from above, their efforts will be wasted. "
He did not expect the Eastern State to be so chaotic. Could the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Caimao, lose control? No one knew. Lu Yiwei was concerned about Zhong Ming's mother, Liu Wenli, so he asked, "I heard the competition for the Deputy Mayor is fierce as well, is that true?"
"Yes." Xiao Yang nodded. "Currently, there is an empty spot for the Deputy Mayor. If Mayor Han is promoted, there will be two. Therefore, the competition is much fiercer than the Mayor's position. From what I know, there are at least a dozen people working hard, and all of them are powerful characters. The hottest candidates are the Head of the Finance Department and the Head of the Tourism Department. "
The Finance Department was a popular department no matter where it was, and it had nothing to do with wealth or poverty. Under normal circumstances, it was easy for the Head of the Finance Department to get promoted. After all, as the Head of a district, he had a delicate relationship with the main leaders. When it came to money, it was not a simple problem.
But the Tourism Department was different. If it was located in a remote area with no tourism resources, it would be a cold government office, similar to the Archives Department. However, Eastern City's main business was tourism, and its status could be imagined. The previous Heads of the Tourism Department of Eastern City had all become the Deputy Mayor or the Deputy of the National People's Congress. This time, the popular candidate was no exception.
Hearing that Liu Wenli's voice was not loud, Lu Yiwei was a little disappointed. Although it had nothing to do with him, but since he was related to Zhong Ming, he was on the same side.
Xiao Yang added, "But not necessarily. Secretary Xu Caimao's governing philosophy is very different from the previous ones. He is good at making unexpected moves. No matter how fierce the competition is, he already has a suitable candidate in mind and is waiting for the last moment to reveal the answer. "
"That's true." Lu Yiwei nodded. "No matter who is competing, I hope they do not participate. The best way is to hide and not show off. Once the election fails, it is very likely that they will become the target of others." Regarding this point, Lu Yiwei had personal experience.
Xiao Yang said, "I haven't been with Mayor Han for a long time, and I am not familiar with many things. Besides, a lot of his business is run by a business owner, and he rarely lets me know. He is still wary of me. I know what to do. "
Lu Yiwei said, "That's also good. Don't participate. On the other hand, if Mayor Han becomes the mayor, it will be good for you. Train well for a few years, and your future will be bright. "
Xiao Yang said helplessly, "Brother Yiwei, you also know that I came from a technical background. I am not good at administrative work. If I had to choose, I would prefer to do what I am used to. "
"Since you have embarked on this path, don't think about other things." Lu Yiwei said, "Didn't I also come from a teacher background? You can't live in your own world for too long. "
"Oh."
Everything stopped here. Lu Yiwei changed the topic. "You have been back for almost a year. Have you solved your personal problem?"
Xiao Yang scratched his head in embarrassment. "My family introduced a few to me, but I don't like them. There is no rush, take it slow. "
When Xiao Yang entered the door, his eyes did not escape Lu Yiwei's hawk-like eyes. He moved closer and whispered, "What do you think of Tong Xin?"
"Ah?" Xiao Yang suddenly blushed and stammered, "She is okay …"
"That's good then!" Lu Yiwei said readily, "I will ask her for you later. If she is okay, then she is okay. If not, then forget it!"
"Hehe, thank you."
Xiao Yang said again, "Oh right, Brother, after that, no one went to the mine to harass you, right?"
"It's okay."
"I have spoken to the leaders of Andu County and asked them for special treatment. They have all agreed, so it should not be a big problem."
Speaking up to this point, Lu Yiwei thought of something else and said, "Oh right, I wanted to treat Mayor Han to a meal but did not have the time. Can you arrange it and see how suitable it is?"
"Okay, no problem." Xiao Yang said, "But it is probably impossible for now. The people who want to treat him to a meal are all queued up until after the New Year. After a while."
"Deal!" Lu Yiwei said, "Xiao Yang, Dongcheng Coal Mine is planning to expand this year. You have to worry about the relevant procedures. We are not going to violate the rules. Just do what needs to be done. After that, I will ask Old Pan to look for you. "
"No problem." Xiao Yang said confidently, "Mayor Han is in charge of coal mine safety. I am familiar with the heads of all the units. No matter what, they will give me face. If there is no other way, I will just ask Mayor Han to settle this matter. "
"Alright, you do as you see fit. We will not be short of a cent where it is necessary to spend money. This is how society is now. Don't make things difficult for you. "
"You don't have to worry about this. I know what I am doing."
With another matter settled, Lu Yiwei felt a lot more relaxed. He stood up and said, "Alright, they are all outside chatting. Let's go out and join in the fun. Don't go back for lunch. Let's go eat at a restaurant together. "
