Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 325 In the end, he was a good official.
In her best friend's book, Luo Jinhao is Jiang Xingye's right-hand man. After Jiang Xingye built a business empire, Luo Jinhao became the person he trusted most. He entrusted all external affairs to Luo Jinhao, who was also extremely loyal to him.

"That's good, let him go." Xu Qinghuan agreed.

The two men were in a car parked at the commune when they saw Tang Quantong carrying a suitcase coming out of the commune office building. They were both stunned and almost didn't recognize him.

His hair was completely white.

Tang Jinmei chased after him and, upon seeing Jiang Xingye and the other two, rushed up and slapped Xu Qinghuan across the face.

"You bitch, if it weren't for you, my uncle..."

Tang Quantong and Jiang Xingye both made their moves; one pulled Xu Qinghuan into his arms, and the other grabbed his niece's wrist.

Tang Quantong roared, "What are you doing?"

Tang Jinmei pointed at Xu Qinghuan and the others, "Uncle, if it weren't for them, would you have been dismissed? Isn't being a commune secretary much better than being the deputy director of a food factory?"

Tang Quantong was exasperated by his niece's stupidity. "What business is it of yours? Get out of here and go to work!"

After he finished speaking, he apologized to Xu Qinghuan and the other person, "I'm sorry, my upbringing is not good, I'm sorry for making you laugh."

He then said to Xu Qinghuan, "Don't you still have a job opening at your food factory? You haven't arranged for anyone to come. Are you not planning to take it?"

Xu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Now that you're going to be the deputy director of the food factory, you'll have a perfect opportunity to make things difficult for me?"

Tang Quantong pointed to the state-run restaurant next door, "Do you have time? Why don't you go sit for a while?"

It wasn't lunchtime yet, and breakfast had just passed, so there weren't many people inside.

The three of them sat down, and Jiang Xingye went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought three bottles of soda, one for each of them.

"Speaking of which, I owe you all an apology." Tang Quantong said with deep emotion, "Sometimes people are like this, they walk along and lose their way, get stuck in a dead end, and no one can pull them out."

Instead of being pulled out, he was pushed further in by the people around him.

“I’ve been the deputy director here for three years now. The organization talked to me before, asking me to finish the work for the second half of the year and then they would consider my situation when they hold an expanded meeting at the end of the year.”

Tang Quantong chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I've been a deputy for several years, and to be honest, it wasn't a good experience. I don't want to have another mother-in-law over my head one day, so I really want to seize this opportunity."

He spread his hands and said, "You see, the more you try to grasp it, the less you can hold onto it."

This time, I went to the food factory, and I was still assigned to a deputy position.

Xu Qinghuan didn't know what to say, "Deputy Director Tang, our commune harvested so much grain this year, the higher-ups won't want it, will they?"

Almost all the grain had sprouted. After it was harvested, it was all dried, but the grain station wouldn't accept it. It was stored in the warehouse, and no one dared to handle it without orders from above.

Nobody knew what to do with this grain; selling it was definitely out of the question.

The people are willing to eat it, even though the taste is definitely not good, but they can't make money from it. This year, apart from Shangjiang Brigade, almost every household is facing considerable losses.

Tang Quantong was extremely dejected. This was a huge burden on him. If he couldn't resolve it properly, and the grain went moldy and spoiled, even if his superiors didn't punish him, he wouldn't be able to get over it himself.

"Deputy Director Tang, I do have a solution."

Tang Quantong's eyes lit up. "Xu Zhiqing, if you can help me get through this difficult time, I'll owe you a favor."

Xu Qinghuan shook her head. "Let's not talk about favors or anything like that. My main concern is that I don't want all this food to go to waste."

She casually wrote down two recipes for Tang Quantong, saying, "Since you're going to a food factory, I'll offer you two recipes. Both germ wheat and germ millet can be used to make cookies and the like. Of course, the variety of pastries sold on the market these days is very limited, and the taste isn't very good. But you can have someone try these two recipes. If they don't know how to make them, you can have the chef come to me."

Tang Quantong's hand holding the formula was trembling. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of this method, but the county's food factory was already not doing well and had a limited range of products. They couldn't compete with the established food factories in terms of taste or packaging.

Already in a state of near collapse, how could food factories possibly monetize that grain?
"For the sake of convenience, I suggest that we open the food factory in the commune. You don't like to be subordinate to others, so we can open a branch factory here, and you can be the branch factory manager."

Tang Quantong couldn't help but be tempted, "Will the county agree to this?"

"Whether you agree or not depends on how you phrase it. Half the county has been affected by the disaster, and sprouted grain is piling up like mountains. If I'm not mistaken, the county probably hasn't come up with a good solution yet, right?"

That means whoever can solve it has the right to speak.

Even though Tang Quantong is still a "sinner" now.

He understood what that meant.

“If I come to the commune to open a food factory, I might come empty-handed and not get any resources.” Tang Quantong wasn’t stupid. Once he made that suggestion, the county food factory might break ties with him.

But with the food factory in the commune unable to continue operating, he had no way out.

"I can't guarantee that, but I think that you have to take some risks in everything you do. If you go to the food factory, you'll either end up as a powerless deputy factory manager who's just sitting around doing nothing, or you'll have to fight for power with the current factory manager and eventually oust him so you can take over."

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "It depends on your choice."

Tang Quantong still chose to believe Xu Qinghuan. "Okay, I'll find a way to build a food factory in the commune. However, I have a request: you, Shangjiang Brigade, have to find a way to provide baking and other equipment."

Xu Qinghuan said, "No problem, we can provide you with whatever equipment you need, but we also have conditions."

"What are the conditions?" Tang Quantong asked.

"Members of the Shangjiang Brigade will be given priority in admission."

Tang Quantong pointed his finger at Xu Qinghuan in the air. He seemed much more relaxed when he left the state-owned hotel.

Jiang Xingye was puzzled. "Why should we help him?"

Xu Qinghuan watched his departing figure and said, "In the end, he was a good official."

Perhaps in my past life I saw too few people who served the people like this.

"However, it is his responsibility not to promote the use of harvesters and threshers. If he had been more forceful in promoting them at the time, the grain would definitely have been harvested, and there wouldn't have been such a huge loss."

The loss of food is heartbreaking for everyone.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Quantong's hair turned completely white in a short period of time.

“Ah Ye, if you were in that position, you would understand that promoting harvesters and threshers back then was not a simple matter. Indeed, a lot of grain was wasted, and someone should bear the responsibility, but it shouldn’t be him alone.”

Jiang Xingye was still puzzled.

"Did he not do any work at the time? He did, but apart from Shangjiang Brigade, all the production brigades opposed it; everyone opposed it. It was precisely because Tang Quantong was not the kind of person who was blinded by officialdom and disregarded the lives of the people that he did not force it to be implemented."

Because no one knew the decision made above. Although Jiang Xingye had said that the unit price of work points could be increased, this decision was not something that Tang Quan could make alone.

Didn't he think of that? Perhaps he did, but the officialdom is a complex and confusing place, and until the final moment of the decisive battle, no one knows whose head that hammer will fall on.
