Chapter 427, You Ruo's Transformation of the World Society! (Please Subscribe!)

Seeing that Yan Bugui, who had stopped mentioning his articles after watching TV, Xiao Shan shook his head speechlessly and then went out for a stroll.

The following morning, Xiao Shan had just finished his daily tasks when Li Huaide called him over.

"Xiaoshan, the article you published in the Sijiu City Daily was praised by the editors!" Li Huaide said to Xiaoshan with a smile. "The newspaper asked me to send over the other two articles you published on the big-character poster at the factory as well. They selected one of them and plan to publish it in tomorrow's paper!"

As he spoke, Li Huaide patted Xiao Shan's shoulder twice: "You've really made our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill proud again this time!"

In those days, it was a great honor for any factory to have an article published in the Beijing Daily.

Therefore, in Beijing during that era, any large factory with tens of thousands of employees would typically employ a few intellectuals to publish articles praising their factory in the Beijing Daily.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was no exception.

The propaganda department employed three cultural figures who were specifically tasked with publishing articles for the Beijing Daily.

However, their previous articles had never received such strong recognition from the newspaper.

"Xiao Shan, how many more talents do you have that I don't know about?" Li Huaide looked at Xiao Shan with excitement. "From now on, you must set aside time to submit at least three articles to the newspaper every month!"

When Xiao Shan heard Li Huaide ask him to submit at least three articles a month, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Factory Director, I can't do that. I already have enough to do! Besides, I need to spend time with my wife and children!"

If it were anyone else, Li Huaide would probably have gotten angry on the spot for being so ungrateful.

But Xiaoshan is different; it's a cash cow for the steel rolling mill!

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, Li Huaide was the one who conceded first: "You're right, you do have a lot to do! How about this, you submit one article to the newspaper every month, that shouldn't be a problem!"

Although it wasn't a big problem, Xiao Shan still looked reluctant: "Factory Manager, all I can say is that I'll do my best, okay!"

"I believe you can do it!" Li Huaide patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder, looking even more confident than Xiao Shan.

Seeing Li Huaide's appearance, what could Xiao Shan say?

All I could do was put on a cooperative smile.

When Xiao Shan got home from get off work that evening, he tagged Zhang Chulan in the chat group, telling him that he had to submit an article every month and hoping that Zhang Chulan could continue to help him.

Zhang Chulan naturally said there was no problem with that.

Zhang Chulan: "One article a month, that's only twelve articles a year. Leave it to me!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Thank you, thank you!"

Huang Rong: "Sect Leader Yue, how's it going? Have you brought your eldest disciple back yet?"

Yue Buqun: "I have already brought Chong'er back to Mount Hua! As for that Ren Yingying, I have locked her up at the bottom of West Lake and let her reunite with her father!"

Huang Rong: "Impressive, Sect Leader Yue! But doesn't Linghu Chong have any objections to what you're doing?"

Yue Buqun: "He hasn't fallen in love with Ren Yingying yet, so what objection could he possibly have?"

You Ruo: "Sect Leader Yue is really awesome! He does things quickly and efficiently, without any hesitation!"

Yue Buqun: "You have to be decisive when you do things! Otherwise, if you drag your feet, accidents are most likely to happen along the way!"

A world of turmoil, the headquarters of the world.

Looking at Yue Buqun's words, You Ruo seemed to be deep in thought.

That afternoon, You Ruo went to see Xiong Ba, who was in seclusion, and talked to him about reforming the World Society.

After listening to You Ruo's advice, Xiong Ba felt that it might be helpful for his great cause of dominating the martial arts world, so he decisively handed the matter over to You Ruo.

After receiving power from Xiong Ba, You Ruo decisively began to reform the Tianxia Society.

Youruo's first action was to select a group of exceptionally talented subordinates from the World Society and hand them over to the Qin Shuang brothers for training.

Once these subordinates are trained, You Ruo will send them to various towns within the territory of the World Society to establish martial arts schools and develop industries.

In order to train these subordinates, You Ruo had Qin Shuang and his two brothers take them out from time to time to eliminate some martial arts scoundrels within the territory of the World Society.

This will not only improve the combat experience of these subordinates, but also enhance the reputation of the Tianxia Society among ordinary people.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Seeing that the reputation of the World Society among the people was getting better and better under You Ruo's leadership, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's feelings began to become somewhat complicated.

Seeing that the reputation of the World Society among ordinary people was beginning to improve, You Ruo happily shared this with everyone in the chat group.

Naturally, everyone congratulated You Ruo.

The world of courtyard houses, the steel rolling mill in Beijing.

It was already April of 1971.

Looking at the changes in the World Society that You Ruo mentioned in the chat group, Xiao Shan was also curious. If the World Society were really transformed according to You Ruo's idea, what would the world of Fengyun become?

Just then, Luo Zhengqiu came over and told Xiao Shan that Li Huaide wanted to see him.

Xiao Shan arrived at Li Huaide's office, knocked on the door, and went inside. He found that there were several other people inside besides Li Huaide.

Although these people were younger than Li Huaide, their aura was no less imposing than his, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary individuals.

As Xiao Shan walked into the office, Li Huaide quickly introduced him to the officials from the government's foreign affairs department, explaining that they had come specifically to see Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan was taken aback. Why did the officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs want to see him?

Did they discover that he and Allen were working together?

Just as Xiao Shan was lost in thought, the middle-aged man who appeared to be in charge smiled at him and said, "Comrade Xiao Shan, hello, I am Tan Chengjia, the counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Xiao Shan smiled and shook hands with Tan Chengjia, quietly waiting for Tan Chengjia to continue.

He didn't believe that the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would contact him for no reason.

Tan Chengjia didn't beat around the bush with Xiao Shan and went straight to the point, telling him that they had come to Xiao Shan to ask for his help.

"I'm just a welder at a steel rolling mill, how can I possibly help you?" Xiao Shan said with a smile after hearing Tan Chengjia's words.

Chapter 428, Xiao Shan: An Upright, Kind, and Patriotic Man! (Please Subscribe!)

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, Tan Chengjia smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Shan is too modest!"

"Here's the thing: some patriots in Hong Kong have a batch of important experimental data that they want to hand over to the country! But given the current situation in Hong Kong, we can't openly send people there, so we're going to use the excuse of participating in a recent unrestricted fighting tournament in Hong Kong to send people to retrieve this batch of experimental data!"

"Comrade Xiaoshan, the reason we came to you is mainly because you are not only fluent in English, but also have your own connections in John Bull. If you could come to Hong Kong with us, you would definitely be of great help to us!"

Although Tan Chengjia did not say it explicitly, his words implied that the country was aware of the cooperation between Xiao Shan and Allen.

However, the cooperation between Xiao Shan and Allen not only did not harm national interests, but also helped the development of the domestic metallurgical industry, so the country turned a blind eye.

“Comrade Xiao Shan, I know this trip to Hong Kong is very dangerous, but it’s all for the future development of the country, so…” Tan Chengjia sighed and patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder.

Before Tan Chengjia could finish speaking, Xiao Shan said with a smile, "Counselor Tan, for the development of our motherland, I am not afraid of danger. I am definitely going to Hong Kong this time!"

Xiao Shan had originally planned to go to Hong Kong to see the land that Allen had helped him buy, but now that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had come looking for him, it was like someone had handed him a pillow when he was sleepy!

So even if Tan Chengjia didn't mention anything about him and Allen, Xiao Shan would still agree to go to Hong Kong with him.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the expressions of the several people from the foreign affairs department in the office immediately softened.

Li Huaide was also very satisfied with Xiao Shan's words.

If these words get out, Xiao Shan will definitely be considered an advanced individual!

Moreover, he was an advanced member of their Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!

"Indeed, we were right. Comrade Xiao Shan is indeed an upright, kind, and patriotic person!" Tan Chengjia looked at Xiao Shan with satisfaction. "Comrade Xiao Shan, we entrust this trip to Hong Kong to you!"

Xiao Shan nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, I will do my best to cooperate if there's anything I can do to help!"

Tan Chengjia originally thought that he would encounter great resistance when he came to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to ask Xiao Shan to accompany them to Hong Kong.

After all, this trip was extremely dangerous. If John Bull discovered the true purpose of their trip, he would probably detain them.

Then it will be difficult for them to return to Beijing.

Moreover, if Xiaoshan is unwilling to go, there's not much they can do.

After all, Xiaoshan is now extremely important to the national metallurgical system.

They cannot force Xiaoshan to submit using unconventional methods.

However, Tan Chengjia did not expect that Xiao Shan was so loyal to the country.

Without any persuasion from them, he voluntarily agreed to join them on such a dangerous trip.

Thinking of all this, Tan Chengjia's gaze towards Xiao Shan softened even more.

Having achieved their goal, Tan Chengjia and the others exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xiao Shan and Li Huaide before leaving satisfied.

They still have many places to go back to arrange during this trip to Hong Kong.

After all, there were also athletes who were going to participate in the no-holds-barred fighting tournament traveling with them.

These people are not as enlightened as Xiao Shan!

Watching Tan Chengjia and the others leave, Xiao Shan wondered what he should do on his trip to Hong Kong.

The first thing to do is naturally to take a look at the land he owns;

Secondly, we need to visit Lou Xiao'e's family and see how they are doing in Hong Kong.

Finally, we need to see if there's anything worth investing in.

Xiao Shan now has a considerable amount of pounds sterling in his hands.

Moreover, since all the good land in Hong Kong is already owned, even with Allen's help, Xiao Shan can't find a place to start.

So these pounds can only lie dormant in Xiaoshan's account.

If we can find a place to invest these pounds during this trip to Hong Kong, that would be a good thing.

As for whether he would encounter any dangers while going out with them, Xiao Shan was not worried at all.

Even if John Bull discovers the purpose of their trip, Xiao Shan will be able to retreat safely.

With Xiao Shan's current strength, as long as weapons like missiles are not used, it is impossible to harm him.

Of course, Xiaoshan might be unable to help Tan Chengjia and his group.

However, Xiao Shan was clear that as his country's power continued to grow, even if Tan Chengjia and his group were captured by John Bull's men, John Bull wouldn't dare to do anything to them.

At most, they'll just be locked up!

Compared to Xiao Shan's enthusiasm, Li Huaide became somewhat worried.

Li Huaide originally thought this was just a normal business trip, which is why he called Xiao Shan over.

But hearing what Tan Chengjia said, this business trip is quite dangerous!

If Li Huaide had known this would happen, he wouldn't have let Xiao Shan come; instead, he would have found an excuse to make Xiao Shan cancel!

In any case, given Li Huaide's current position in the metallurgical system and the powerful backers behind him, he's not really afraid of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Compared to offending people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Huaide believed that the safety of Xiaoshan was more important!

After all, what would happen to their machine tool cooperation with John Bull if something happened to Xiaoshan in Hong Kong?

"Xiaoshan, how about we find an excuse to cancel it?" Li Huaide said to Xiaoshan with great concern. "Our factory is booming right now, you can't risk your life at this crucial moment!"

Hearing Li Huaide say this, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Factory Director, now is the best time for us to show our loyalty! Don't you want the higher-ups to trust our steel rolling mill even more?"

"Of course I want the higher-ups to trust our steel mill more, but it's too dangerous, and I'm afraid it's not worth it!" Although Li Huaide was somewhat tempted by what Xiao Shan said, he still couldn't agree with it.

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Factory Manager. With my relationship with Allen, even if we encounter any trouble in John Bull, I'm not without help!"

"Besides, this involves national affairs; how can we desert our posts in the face of danger?"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Li Huaide fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, you must be careful! Your fate is now in our hands!"

Seeing Li Huaide's worried expression, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Factory Director, don't worry, I'm someone who values ​​my life!"

Li Huaide nodded solemnly, without saying anything more.

After leaving Li Huaide's office, Xiao Shan told Ding Qiunan about his upcoming business trip to Hong Kong.

Although Xiao Shan makes a trip to Qingdao every two or three months, Ding Qiunan was still a little worried when she heard that Xiao Shan was going on a business trip.
