Chapter 589 Forest Area, Let's Make Up?

The day after the meeting ended, Liaoyang TV's "Provincial News Broadcast" devoted one minute and forty seconds to reporting on the matter.

The announcer spoke clearly and distinctly: "Yesterday, the Tienan District of the provincial capital held a pilot enterprise conference, launching a transformation plan for 21 state-owned enterprises to connect with the Changhong color TV and PHS (Personal Handyphone System) industrial chain, involving more than 30,000 employees. This marks the substantial advancement of the industrial embedded reform in the Liaoyang old industrial base."

The scene cuts to the conference venue, where Lin Xiaohe stands in front of the industry roadmap, waving a bamboo pole.

Subsequently, Vice Governor An appeared in the provincial government office, facing the camera with a calm tone:
"The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government pay close attention to the reform exploration of Tienan District. Changhong is a leading enterprise in Liaoyang, with sales exceeding 200 billion yuan last year, which is the foundation of Liaoyang's industry. Tiexi District's approach of using market orders to drive enterprise transformation is correct and feasible."

He paused, then emphasized: "The reform of state-owned enterprises is not a matter of simply dismantling them. The 21 enterprises in Tienan have a foundation, a workforce, and a technological base; what they lack is market orders and modern management. Changhong's orders and technology have come in, which is how we use existing assets to attract new growth."

He didn't say anything more, but he said everything.

At the same time, provincial newspapers extensively publicized the pilot program in Tienan District, accompanied by photos of factories resuming production and work, which was particularly inspiring.

Back in Anning County, Wang Shuxiang and her husband ate their meal while watching television.

"Old Lin, your eldest daughter has brought honor to the family! Her future is dazzling!"

Old Lin watched Lin Xiaohe flash across the TV screen, his feelings incredibly complex: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. I retired with honor, and I retired in the right place."

puff.

Wang Shuxiang smiled, not wanting to contradict Lao Lin. His words made it sound as if he could simply refuse to back down.

Old Lin pretended not to see Wang Shuxiang's disdain and changed the subject: "This time, will our Pang Donglai Supermarket be able to enter the Tienan District?"

The densely populated Tienan District is very suitable for opening a large supermarket.

Pang Donglai Selected Supermarket has always wanted to enter the Tienan District market, but it has been blocked by that Zhang and has not been able to obtain the necessary permits.

Of all the districts in Liaoyang Province, only the Tienan District is still without Pang Donglai.

Wang Shuxiang knows the market in the Tienan District very well: "Well, there isn't a single proper large shopping mall in the Tienan District. There are only large shopping malls like Zhongxing Commercial Building and Tiebai. People can only buy daily necessities at grocery stores and grain and oil stores, which is very inconvenient. The management of Pangdonglai has already chosen the locations, and three branches will open at the same time."

"What?! Open three stores?!" Old Lin's eyes widened in astonishment. "There are so many laid-off workers in the Tie Nan District, can they afford to support three stores?"

Wang Shuxiang rolled her eyes: "Comrade Lin, I have to criticize you. Do you have some misunderstanding about your daughter? Even the top leaders haven't questioned her abilities, yet you don't believe her?"

"This...is different," Old Lin stammered.

Wang Shuxiang sneered: "Your daughter has confidence, and we all believe in her. The Tie Nan District will become rich sooner or later."

Yes, our lives will get better and better.

In the Tienan District, at the Provincial Capital Plastic Products Factory, retired workers lined up to receive their pensions from the finance department.

Rough hands gripped the bills tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Although it's only a month's salary, at least it's a good start.

"That's great! Our factory will be back to work soon, right?" His cloudy eyes were filled with tears.

"Yes, it'll be soon. We had a trial run yesterday. If it passes Changhong's quality inspection, we can start large-scale production."

"I looked at the design drawings from Changhong Factory, and they're really beautiful. There are more than a dozen options for the casing of the Little Smart phone, some of which look like a gold brick, which is auspicious and lucky. I'm sure many people will buy them."

The retired employees walked unsteadily back to their family compound.

Their long-term exposure to plastic products has led to various health problems, both minor and major. Minor ailments are manageable; drinking more hot water and tolerating them usually helps. However, those with serious illnesses generally lack the funds for treatment.

An elderly deaf worker said in what he thought was a very low voice, "I wonder how the district will arrange our medical care."

In the past, employees belonged to the factory from birth to death. The factory took care of everything, from birth to old age, illness, and death.

Ever since the factory's business declined, the factory-run school and hospital have all gone out of business.

His fellow workers, trembling, supported each other, saying, "Take it slow, just survive. Everything will be alright. Our newcomer to the forest area is a man of action, and he cares about us ordinary people."

"Yes, no rush. We're not in a hurry. We'll be obedient and won't cause trouble for the country or the forest area."

……

With the efforts of the comrades in the propaganda department, Lin Xiaohe began to understand the troubles of being a celebrity.

She could no longer pull off the incognito visit trick. Even if she covered her face with a scarf and rode a three-wheeled vehicle to the factory gate, the workers would recognize her within ten minutes.

The workers in Dongguo are a very well-mannered group. They wouldn't do anything to Lin Xiaohe, but they would surround her and awkwardly say good things about the factory, hoping that the forest area would consider their factory and include it in the pilot enterprise program.

Lin Xiaohe wasn't afraid of demons and monsters, but she was afraid of honest people who were at a loss and begging her for help.

After being recognized a few times, Lin Xiaohe stopped going and assigned the task of on-site investigation to Chen Guang, while she returned to the district to take charge of the overall situation.

This pilot conference solidified Lin Xiaohe's position in the district.

The district's top official, whom she hadn't been able to meet in a long time, took the initiative to extend a friendly gesture and invited Lin Xiaohe to dinner.

The car pulled up smoothly in front of the Kailai Hotel at exactly 5:30 p.m.

Lin Xiaohe led Chen Guang into the luxurious private room on the fourth floor, one after the other.

As soon as the door opened, the cold air inside, mixed with the smell of tobacco, rushed out.

The room was bustling with conversation when the two people entered. There was a moment of silence, and then, apart from the top leader and Zhang Mingde, all five people sitting on the guest sofa stood up.

"Boss, you've arrived." The first person to greet him was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was tall and strong and had a smile on his face.

He is Su Bei, the head of the Organization Department of Tienan District, and the other four are deputy district heads.

There are a total of 5 deputy district heads in Tienan District: the executive deputy district head in charge of finance, planning and personnel; the industrial deputy district head in charge of the district-owned enterprises' industrial bureau and the system reform commission; the urban construction deputy district head in charge of land, planning and municipal administration; the education deputy district head in charge of education, culture and health; and the political and legal deputy district head in charge of public security, justice and petitions.

Zhang Mingde is the deputy director of the industrial zone, but he has more airs than the executive deputy director and sits closer to the top leader.

Seeing that Lin Xiaohe didn't take the initiative to greet him, the top leader smiled kindly, stood up, and introduced her to Lin Xiaohe in a friendly manner: "Come, come, let me show you around. This is Deputy District Chief Zhang Mingde, and Deputy District Chief Jing Tian..."

The group wore polite smiles and showed extraordinary enthusiasm towards Lin Xiaohe, showering her with compliments as if they were free, as if they wanted to worship her and forget their past slight oversight.

Every move they made exuded an air of seeking reconciliation.

Seeing how quickly his colleagues changed their tune, a hint of mockery flashed in Zhang Mingde's eyes.

These colleagues don't understand Lin Xiaohe at all. If sweet words could make Lin Xiaohe let them go, why would she have stirred up so much trouble?
Only those who stand upright can remain unscathed amidst storms.

How many of you here can do that?
