In the office of the match factory, Chen Zhen and the factory director Hou Hongwen sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was slightly tense. After all, as a dignified minister, it was a bit surprising that the other party could meet the two of them in person. If he wasn't nervous, it would be fake.
Hou Hongwen felt uneasy. He didn't know what questions the other party would ask him later. If he couldn't answer it, he would just throw a dog into the mud. If he could answer it, he would be able to live up to the other party's trust in him.
This thought made Hou Hongwen even more nervous. The old man, who had not been so nervous in many years, was waiting anxiously like Chen Zhen, a young man in his twenties.
But Chen Zhen was so excited that he had no time to think about things in the factory, because everything he was doing now was for Zhang Baixue, and making money was so that Zhang Baixue could live a better life, and the match factory Relief also hopes that the living environment that he and Zhang Baixue have enjoyed for so many years can be preserved and that the workers can have a good life. Why not!
But the first priority must be Zhang Baixue!
Now he only wanted to confirm Su Mingcheng's true identity, nothing else. Chen Zhen sat on the sofa as steady as a rock, staring outside.
On the wall of the office hangs a national map of the Ministry of Industry, which marks the scale of many chemical companies. There are some documents scattered on the table. There is also a calendar dedicated to the Ministry of Industry in one corner, with the words "Ministry of Industry" in red on it. It seems to be describing the power of the Ministry of Industry.
Just as the two fell into silence, there were steady footsteps outside the door.
The two of them also arranged their clothes and waited for the other party to come in.
Su Mingcheng, Minister of Industry, walked in with a hint of majesty on his face and sharp eyes. Hou Hongwen quickly stood up to greet him, and Chen Zhen also stood up politely.
"Minister Su, thank you for your speech just now. We are relieved that the country has such an outstanding person. We hope you..."
Before Hou Hongwen finished speaking, Su Mingli immediately interrupted the conversation: "Fang Hou, the people in your factory have fought for these things by themselves. You don't need to thank me. I hope you will be happy in the next year." Can you give me a satisfactory answer?"
"Of course, we will definitely listen to Minister Su's instructions and give you a satisfactory answer!"
Hou Hongwen immediately said with a smile, his head nodding no matter how many times.
Su Mingcheng nodded symbolically and said: "Director Hou, I have something I want to discuss privately with Section Chief Chen of your factory. You see..."
ah?
Talk privately?
Discussing with Chen Zhen in private, how did the other party know about Chen Zhen? It stands to reason that Su Mingcheng doesn't know Chen Zhen's identity. This is...
Hou Hongwen was still in a dazed state, but he quickly reacted to this situation, and then he suddenly realized: "Ah... well, okay, okay, you guys talk, I will go out and wait first, so I won't disturb you. It’s Minister Su!”
After Hou Hongwen finished speaking, he winked at Chen Zhen, walked out quickly, and gently closed the office door.
Su Mingcheng and Chen Zhen were the only two people left in the entire office, and the atmosphere became quiet for a while. The second hand of the clock next to it moved minute by minute, and the sound of the second hand fluctuating could be heard in the office for a while.
Su Mingcheng walked to the desk, picked up the teapot and poured Chen Zhen a cup of tea. The tea leaves slowly unfolded in the water, exuding a faint fragrance.
Su Mingcheng handed it to Chen Zhen and motioned him to drink tea with his eyes.
The entire office looked neat and orderly, and there was a calm atmosphere in the air. Each other's thoughts and emotions were hidden in this tranquility.
"How's your job at Pingjiang Match Factory going?"
Su Mingcheng looked at Chen Zhen and said with a relaxed expression. Chen Zhen was also lowering his head to hold the tea cup at this time, and did not see that Su Mingcheng's hand holding the tea had become slightly trembling.
"Minister Su, you also know the limitations of Pingjiang Match Factory, so now we can only solve the problems of stabilizing the factory and speed up research and development."
After Chen Zhen reached this point, he paused slightly and did not continue speaking.
Su Mingcheng nodded slightly: "I didn't ask the factory, I asked you!"
ask yourself?
It stands to reason that as a minister, Su Mingcheng would not even worry about Pingjiang Match Factory, let alone a small section chief in the factory. How could such an inconspicuous person get Su Mingcheng's attention.
At this time, Chen Zhen was even more convinced of what he was thinking. The Su Mingcheng in front of him was none other than Zhang Baixue's biological father!
"I am now the chief of the archives department and also the chief of the logistics department. In addition, I do a small business outside. Of course, it has nothing to do with the production in the factory."
Chen Zhengang was about to continue talking downwards. He glanced at Su Mingcheng slightly. He knew in his heart that what Su Mingcheng wanted to hear was indeed his own development, but what he wanted to hear behind the scenes was whether Zhang Baixue had been wronged by following him.
Chen Zhen smiled slightly: "Then, I married my wife three years ago. I am very affectionate with my wife. But I resigned from the supply and marketing cooperative some time ago. Now I am resting at home. My wife's name is Zhang...Bai Xue."
Su Mingcheng's eyes twitched obviously twice, and the originally sharp eyes suddenly became tender and seemed to be slightly rosy. When he heard the three words Zhang Baixue, his nose suddenly became sore.
"Why did you rest?"
Su Mingcheng asked in a hurry, and Chen Zhen immediately replied: "Some personal reasons, what aspect of me does Minister Su want to know?"
Ouch?
Su Mingcheng was slightly stunned. Chen Zhen in front of him seemed to have read through his thoughts. The smile on the corner of his mouth and the tendentious question made him even more impressed. Could it be that the other party had already recognized him?
Su Mingcheng did not expose it directly. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said: "As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, I should be able to know the personal work and life information of the employees below. I remember that it does not violate the rules."
"Since Minister Su said this, I have a question to ask Minister Su!"
Chen Zhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said. After receiving a nod of affirmation from the other party, he lowered his head and lowered his voice and said: "Minister Su, are you asking me as the Minister of Industry, or in your personal capacity?"
“What about your work identity, what about your personal identity?”
"I can tell you from my work status that my personal development is very good, and I will definitely complete the tasks in the factory with due diligence. If it is my personal status, I have something closely related to you to tell you!"
Um?
Su Mingcheng looked at Chen Zhen's betrayal and became interested instantly. He also lowered his head and waited for Chen Zhen's words.
"You're going to be a grandpa!"
