Chapter 433 A bright future
When Suning returned home, his family members already knew about his situation and they all looked back at him with concern. Facing their inquiring eyes, Suning suddenly found it a little funny.

"Pingping, Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Suning, Xiaohui just called and said that you were affected by Hongyun Home Appliances and have resigned from the Jinzhou factory?" Song Yunping looked at Suning in confusion.

"Well, I was also affected by the personnel strife at the Jinzhou factory," Su Ning explained nonchalantly. After all, the current focus is on economic development, and the main battlefield should be business. "Secretary Shui will definitely not want to come out and calm the situation. If I voluntarily resign now, I can actually negotiate terms with Secretary Shui, and he'll be able to treat Xiaohui more favorably going forward."

"Suning, thank you for considering Xiaohui in the end."

"Pingping, I have no choice. Leaving the Jinzhou factory is the best outcome." Suning showed a helpless expression in response to Song Yunping's gratitude.

"Well, I will feel much more relaxed with you in Hongyun Home Appliances in the future." Song Yunping soon came to her senses.

At dinner time, Song Yunhui also came back from work. The family temporarily forgot about their worries and ate dinner happily. No one's mood was affected much.

"Jingle Bell!"

Song Yunhui quickly got up to answer the phone, "Hello, hello! This is the Su family."

"Yes! Wait a moment!" Song Yunhui replied, then looked at his puzzled brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, your phone number."

"Oh?" Su Ning stood up and picked up the phone, puzzled. "Hello! This is Su Ning. Who are you?"

"Haha, it's Old Xu!" Secretary Xu's cheerful voice came from the phone.

"Secretary Xu! Is there something urgent going on so late at night?"

"Suning, I may have caused you a little trouble. You may not be able to go into business anymore."

"Uh? Secretary Xu, what happened?"

"Suning, I have recommended you to Director Zhou of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. Director Zhou wants you to be the chief engineer of the Zhongyuan Factory. I wonder if you are willing?" Secretary Xu explained with a smile.

"Zhongyuan Factory? Secretary Xu, thank you so much." Suning knew that Director Zhou was also a hidden boss, and he felt grateful in his heart.

"Haha, then come to the capital as soon as possible, and I will personally take you to meet Zhou Si."

"Okay! Secretary Xu, I'll rush to the capital tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Suning still felt a little magical. In the original drama, it was Secretary Xu who helped Song Yunhui enter the Jinzhou factory. Suning's time travel had changed a lot of things, but he didn't expect that Secretary Xu still helped him.

"Suning, what's wrong?" Song Yunping looked over in confusion.

"Secretary Xu called and recommended me to the Zhongyuan Chemical Plant as chief engineer. I need to rush to Beijing as soon as possible tomorrow."

"That's great! This can be considered a blessing in disguise. You've been promoted." Soon the whole family became happy.

"Well, the Zhongyuan plant is also very strong, not inferior to the Jinzhou plant. The chief engineer is very valuable." Su Ning nodded in agreement, and then suddenly said with deep emotion, "But we owe Secretary Xu a huge favor."

"Suning, don't think too much. Having someone up there to take care of us will always be good for our family." Father Song said to Suning with a smile.

"Haha, Dad, you really see things clearly. I'm really a little too pretentious."

Seeing that Suning has turned around, the family is happy again. In the inherent concept of the general public, no amount of money can be more important than the recognition of the mainstream group. Of course, they will try their best to work within the system. The idea of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans has long been deeply rooted.

After dinner, Suning took a shower first, and then went directly to his study, thinking that he must bring two gifts to Beijing tomorrow.

Things that are too expensive are not suitable, so one can only put effort into the thoughtfulness. Then Suning thought of giving Secretary Xu and Secretary Zhou, whom he had never met, a pair of handwritten calligraphy.

With Suning's current calligraphy skills, he is not inferior to those of the world-famous masters. Giving his own calligraphy to others is the most appropriate and fitting thing, which will surely make the other person feel very happy.

When Song Yunping came out of the bathroom, she saw Su Ning writing calligraphy with a pen full of ink. It was the first time Song Yunping saw Su Ning writing calligraphy, and she looked at him in surprise.

"Su Ning, you can also write calligraphy?"

"Well, I'm going to write two for Secretary Xu and Director Zhou. They're not too expensive or too light a gift."

"Hmm, your handwriting is really beautiful?"

"Haha, Pingping, you also know calligraphy?"

“Although I don’t understand much, I still have the basic ability to appreciate it.”

"Well, if I can really go to the Central Plains Factory to perform my duties this time, it will be a breakthrough of some magnitude. I may rarely go back to Jinzhou in the future."

"Suning, don't worry about the things in Jinzhou. I will manage Hongyun Home Appliances for you."

"Haha, what my wife said makes sense." Su Ning hung up the two pieces of calligraphy he had just written, waiting for them to dry naturally. Then he turned around and looked at Song Yunping with a smirk on his face. "Pingping, we haven't studied foreign languages together for a long time. Let's catch up on our lessons."

"Go to hell! Wasn't it just last night?"

"Haha, learning a foreign language requires hard work every day."

The next day, Suning boarded a northbound train with his two pieces of calligraphy. After nearly eight hours of bumpy ride, it was already four or five in the afternoon when Suning finally arrived at Beijing Railway Station.

According to the address provided by Secretary Xu, he went directly to Secretary Xu's home. Secretary Xu was delighted to see Su Ning coming. "Suning, come in quickly."

"Secretary Xu, this is my handwritten letter to you. I hope you like it." Su Ning put down the other gifts and handed over a scroll.

"Oh? Suning, you can also write calligraphy?" Secretary Xu became curious at this time, then took the scroll and opened it to read.

At this time, Secretary Xu's father also came over curiously. It seemed that his father was also a person who loved calligraphy. Seeing Su Ning's calligraphy level, Secretary Xu and his father were both surprised.

“When you’re surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there’s no way out, but when you turn around, you’ll find yourself in a new village!” Secretary Xu quickly understood the meaning of the calligraphy, and then couldn’t help but look at Su Ning in surprise. “Suning, did you really write this calligraphy? Did you ask someone for it?” “Haha, Secretary Xu, it even has my signature on it!”

"Well, this calligraphy is really good, not inferior to some great calligraphers." Secretary Xu's father also said in admiration, and then suddenly looked at Su Ning with a smile, "Su Ning, right? I like calligraphy too. Can I have the audacity to ask for a piece of calligraphy as well?"

"Uncle, if you like, I can write it to you now."

"Okay! Please come with me to the study." Secretary Xu's father said in surprise.

Su Ning followed Secretary Xu and his father to their study, and waited until Secretary Xu had spread out rice paper, brush and ink on the desk, and then Su Ning picked up the pen without hesitation.

Su Ning suddenly paused for a moment to think, and quickly thought of what to write. He then dipped the pen in ink and began to write on the snow-white rice paper.

"Old Ji Fuxing, Aspiration for Thousands of Miles"

"The martyr's ambition remains strong in his old age"

As Secretary Xu and his father silently recited, two lines of poetry appeared on the paper. Secretary Xu's father was extremely surprised and looked at the calligraphy with the ink still wet, praising it. "Su Ning, your calligraphy is really perfect. It has some of the charm of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, but also has a very unique style. Excellent! Very good!"

"Haha, uncle, as long as you like it."

"Suning, I see that your calligraphy cannot reach this level without years of hard work!" Secretary Xu looked at Suning with a smile.

"Secretary Xu, to be honest, when I have nothing to do, I just like to practice calligraphy at home."

"Well, Suning, I've already made an appointment with Director Zhou to take you to the Ministry of Chemical Industry tomorrow morning. You can rest at my house tonight!"

"Thank you, Secretary Xu."

The next day, Secretary Xu brought Su Ning to the Ministry of Chemical Industry and met Director Zhou, who had decided to hire him. Secretary Xu pointed at Su Ning and said, "Director Zhou, this is the Su Ning I recommended to you."

"Oh? Suning, I've heard of you, a technical talent, for a long time. Seeing you today, I'm sure you're quite a talent."

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your compliment. It is a great honor for Suning to meet you for the first time."

"Well, Zhongyuan Factory is my old company. It's been showing signs of wear and tear in recent years. I hope you can bring some changes after you go there."

"Mr. Zhou, before I came to Beijing, I knew a little about the situation at the Zhongyuan Factory. Since they mostly use Japanese production lines, there's still a lot of room for improvement." Looking at Mr. Zhou in front of him, Su Ning spoke openly, "My idea is to renovate and upgrade the existing Zhongyuan Factory production lines. The advantages of this are low cost, a significant increase in production capacity, and further product upgrades."

"Oh? I thought you were going to push for a new production line?"

"Mr. Zhou, from what I understand, the Zhongyuan factory has a very good foundation, thanks to the solid foundation laid by Mr. Zhou back then. Therefore, there is no need to introduce new technologies for the time being. Completing technological transformation and upgrading is the best option."

"Well, how long do you think it will take for the Zhongyuan Factory to undergo a technological transformation and upgrade?"

"According to the information I've investigated, it will take at most a year to complete. Of course, we still need to observe it on the spot."

"Well, I also agree with your plan. I will take you to the Zhongyuan factory in person tomorrow, which will facilitate your next work." Director Zhou was very satisfied with Suning's performance. If Suning said that introducing new technology was the best, then Director Zhou might have had a lower impression of Suning.

"Thank you, Zhou Si."

After seeing Su Ning leave, Secretary Shui fulfilled his promise and appointed Song Yunhui as the workshop director of the new workshop, and requested free pricing rights and a dual-track pricing system from the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

"Song Yunhui, I have decided to give you the foreign trade of the new workshop's products. Can you complete the task?" Secretary Shui said to his confidant in front of him.

"Secretary Shui, it's no big deal. I have a student in the United States who can contact the buyers there."

"Oh? That's great. You and your brother-in-law are both people who can get things done." Secretary Shui said in surprise.

“Secretary Shui, my brother-in-law and I are still a long way off.”

"Song Yunhui, what are your brother-in-law's plans for the future?"

"Secretary Shui, my brother-in-law has been recommended by Director Zhou to the Zhongyuan Factory."

"Ah? Director Zhou?" Secretary Shui was surprised and looked at Song Yunhui in disbelief. "When did this happen?"

"Huh? The day after my brother-in-law left the Jinzhou factory, he was called to the capital by Director Zhou."

"Well, that's good. It would be a pity if your brother-in-law really left the chemical industry." Secretary Shui felt very complicated at this time. He didn't expect Suning to be able to come back to life.

Suning's voluntary resignation saved Secretary Shui. It was obvious that Director Fei and Chief Engineer Liu were targeting Secretary Shui this time. At this time, Suning, which was at its peak, suddenly solved Secretary Shui's urgent problem. Secretary Shui was very grateful in his heart.

Secretary Shui had never expected that Suning would be noticed by the bigwigs of the Ministry of Chemical Industry so quickly. Although he felt a little unhappy, he couldn't say anything at this time. After all, Suning was a talent "abandoned" by the Jinzhou Factory, and he couldn't blame anyone else for running to someone else's home.

Zhongyuan Factory and Jinzhou Factory are both leaders in the chemical industry. In fact, they have always had their own open and secret struggles. Secretary Shui saw that Zhongyuan Factory was the first to introduce Japanese chemical technology, so he also started using Japanese technology in 1973.

Being in the same chemical system, of course neither of them wanted to submit to the other, and each of them was holding a grudge. Now, a top general of his Jinzhou Factory was taken away by the Zhongyuan Factory so easily. Secretary Shui felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

In fact, this matter is not that serious. Director Fei and Chief Engineer Liu have no substantial evidence at all. In the final analysis, it is just a shrew's temper. If Secretary Shui is willing to confront it, the result will not be the current situation.

However, Secretary Shui is unwilling to waste his many years of connections, and he is also somewhat wary of Suning, which is currently at the peak of its popularity. If he can really marginalize Suning through this incident, Secretary Shui will be happy to see it happen.

However, he did not expect Suning to be so decisive and actually resigned from the Jinzhou factory directly. It was not until this moment that Secretary Shui felt something was a little wrong. He realized that Suning might have discovered his thoughts a long time ago, so he jumped out of the Jinzhou factory without hesitation.

Secretary Shui felt a little regretful when he thought about this, but when he thought about the fact that he would retire in a few years, he had to continue to use the necessary tactics in order to ensure his safe landing.
