Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 408 must be kept secret.
"Let me ask for you, Director Li."

Qian Zhi spoke in a businesslike manner, showing no appreciation for Director Li's earlier overtures.

He ran into Dean Wu's secretary early this morning and chatted with him for a while; Dean Wu's secretary also knew about what happened yesterday and was advising him to do what he should do.

They serve the leaders, and when they go out, they represent the leaders' image. The things Qian Zhi told us yesterday were what the leaders had instructed us to do. Li Jie's behavior yesterday, seemingly making things difficult for him, was actually making things difficult for the leaders behind him.

After hearing this, Qian Zhi quickly realized that he was now Zhou Fengnian's secretary and represented Zhou Fengnian's image when he went out.

I used to share an office with Li Jie, and I was too accommodating to her, but it seems like I'm making my boss lose face.

Therefore, Qian Zhi is not afraid of Director Li today. Even if he is two or three levels higher than him, it doesn't matter. How could he possibly go over the leader's head to punish him?
After asking in the office, Qian Zhi came out and said, "Director Li, the leader wants you to come in in five minutes."

"Okay, I see."

Director Li then said to Qian Zhi, "Secretary Qian, my niece will come to apologize to you later."

"No need, Director Li. The leader assigned me a lot of tasks today. I didn't take Comrade Li Jie's matter to heart, so tell her not to come."

After saying that, Qian Zhi went back to work.

Five minutes later, Director Li knocked on the door and entered Zhou Fengnian's office.

As Director Li had predicted, he was indeed reprimanded upon entering, regarding what happened yesterday.

Zhou Fengnian didn't know much about Qian Zhi's situation and didn't tell him, but the inability to arrange things made him very annoyed.

So he told Director Li to arrange the necessary personnel, and if he couldn't, he would arrange it himself. Director Li quickly nodded in agreement and promised that such a thing would not happen again.

After Director Li left, Zhou Fengnian continued working.

Before the leader made a decision, he had to attend to other matters; while the human evolution project was important, other projects were also very important.

During the time Zhou Fengnian was busy, Zhou Xianyang came to see him once, showing off that he had just become a district people's congress representative.

The efficiency is really fast. After only a few days of work, I submitted a form, got some invoices, and the process was already complete.

The city government had given preferential treatment, so Dongcheng District didn't dare to slack off and expedited the process.

However, before he could boast much, Zhou Fengnian slapped him away. Besides talking about this, Zhou Xianyang also planned to go on a business trip, so he entrusted the child to Zhou Fengnian and Zhou Yan again.

He invested in an electrical appliance factory and a joint venture mobile phone factory in Dongshan Province before the Lunar New Year, and he needs to keep an eye on them after the New Year.

After confirming the investment, there are still a bunch of things for him to handle, such as recruiting staff.

Linyi City, Dongshan Province.

Inside the municipal government building, a secretary from the municipal office knocked on the door of Vice Mayor Bai's office. After hearing a reply from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

"Vice Mayor Bai, there's been a problem at the joint venture factory in the South Ring District."

"what is the problem?"

Bai Yuhao immediately put down his pen and asked in a deep voice.

Aside from his relationship with Zhou Xianyang, this joint venture factory is also related to his political achievements; he surpassed the mayor as soon as he arrived, all because of his outstanding achievements, and now the whole city is paving the way for him.

"The originally planned development and demolition could not proceed because someone was obstructing it, saying that the money had not been paid in full."

Bai Yuhao frowned and said, "What? Wasn't all the money already paid? Yangfei Electric Factory and Motorola have already covered the initial expenses. What's going on?"

"Well... I'm not quite sure either. Should we ask Director Ding from the Construction Bureau?"

"Have him come over here immediately." Before Bai Yuhao could finish speaking, his personal phone rang. He took it out, saw it was Zhou Xianyang calling, and answered.
"Xianyang, have we arrived?"

"Just got off the train, Brother Bai. I'll wander around the neighboring city for a bit first, and then we can grab some food after you get off work?"

Zhou Xianyang looked around. He hadn't had a chance to explore properly when he came last time, so this time he could relax a bit while on his inspection tour.

Before the Lunar New Year holiday, Zhou Xianyang hadn't had time to deal with many things. He came here now to finalize some recruitment matters.

Bai Yuhao said, "Don't waste food outside, come to my house to eat. I'll talk to your sister-in-law later and ask her to stay at my place tonight."

Zhou Xianyang quickly said, "No need to stay here, Brother Bai. I brought four people with me this time, so let's stay at the guesthouse tonight."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yuhao's face immediately darkened, but it was definitely not directed at Zhou Xianyang, but at his men who were doing the work.

Just as Zhou Xianyang was about to come for his inspection, the Construction Bureau created such a huge mess for him, making Bai Yuhao suspect that those people were deliberately trying to sabotage him.

If Zhou Fengnian weren't his relative, he might have left immediately upon seeing this scene.

Bai Yuhao then immediately told his secretary, "Go and call all the relevant personnel over right now, don't leave anyone out, and book five rooms at the guesthouse immediately."

"I understand, boss."

Seeing that Bai Yuhao was truly angry, the secretary didn't dare to delay and went to carry out the task after agreeing.

Zhou Xianyang had given instructions before he came. He had two factories here that he was busy with, and they were expected to be fully built and have the equipment installed by June, after which production would begin.

It is estimated that the factory in the neighboring city will become Zhou Xianyang's main source of income in the next few years.

The transportation is decent, and the outbound transport is not bad. If it were a remote city, even if Zhou Xianyang were willing to come, Motorola would not agree.

China Overseas.

After Zhou Fengnian was summoned today, he knew that the matter should have reached a conclusion.

After being led into the room by Director Zhang, Zhou Fengnian saw a stranger besides the leaders. After searching his memory, Zhou Fengnian was certain that he had never seen this person before.

"Fengnian, I can give you an answer to what you mentioned last time."

When the leader spoke of this matter, his expression was very solemn. He then continued, "This is Comrade Tian Shaoxing. He will be involved in your project. You can entrust some matters to him to handle."

However, don't tell anyone; this matter isn't exactly honorable, and all the documents have been sealed away.

"Okay, I understand, boss."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment, then continued, "What if I need helpers to join the project team?"

"Keep it as confidential as possible. Before they join, make sure they are determined to keep it confidential indefinitely. If not, then be as careful as possible when selecting people."

After sighing, the leader said solemnly, "Fengnian, if this matter gets out, it will likely have a huge impact. Those who want us to get into trouble will use this to attack us relentlessly."

Zhou Fengnian nodded. He naturally understood that Dean Wu had only thought of so much, which was why he was unwilling to sign the agreement no matter how much he was persuaded.

Seeing that Zhou Fengnian hadn't gone to see him these past two days, Dean Wu probably guessed it too.

"Comrade Natian, I'll be relying on you from now on!"
