Chapter 1668 Taking Root in the Northwest

Chapter 1668 Taking Root in the Northwest
Northwest, Red Star Machinery Factory Second Branch.

At the main gate, Director Hong and Deputy Director Fang Yuan, along with a group of cadres from the machinery factory, had been waiting here early.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces.

But more of it is confusion and puzzlement.

They didn't understand why Director Hong, who was doing a good job, working day and night for the development of the factory and devoting all his energy to production, was demoted and became deputy director.

Not only do I not understand, I can't even figure it out.

Could it be possible that the people who come here can do better than Director Hong?

But seeing that Director Hong looked indifferent, they had nothing to say.

"Old Hong, tell me the truth, who is this Director Li?"

Fang Yuan approached Director Hong and asked, his face looking extremely serious.

It was only after working with Director Hong for a long time that he realized how capable the person in front of him was.

No matter how difficult the task is, it can be easily solved in his hands.

Things that used to give him headaches were now easy for him to handle with his guidance.

"Old Fang."

Director Hong naturally knew what Lao Fang and the others were thinking, and he could also see the impact within the factory after the news was announced.

At this time, he must take precautions in advance to avoid any trouble.

"Director Li is as capable as I am. When he comes, all of us have to cooperate with him."

"No one is allowed to mess around."

Director Hong finished speaking, then turned back to look at everyone, "We are here to build the revolution and build the country, and everyone must unite together."

“Everyone has to work hard towards the same goal.”

This was the first time Fang Yuan heard Director Hong speak so seriously.

Even when he encountered difficulties before, he never spoke so harshly when he held a meeting with everyone.

Ma Xiaoling and others behind him also felt nervous when they heard this. They originally wanted to stand up for Director Hong.

Now it seems a bit redundant.

"coming."

At this moment, someone from the security department pointed at the truck that appeared on the road ahead and shouted loudly.

When we got closer this time, we saw Wang Huzi jump out of the car first, and then a middle-aged man in a gray cotton jacket appeared in front of us.

"Old Hong, this is Comrade Li Chengjun."

Wang Huzi stepped forward to introduce Director Hong.

At this time, Director Hong laughed out loud, and Li Chengjun walked forward quickly.

The two hugged each other tightly in front of everyone.

"Old Hong, long time no see."

"If my superiors hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known you were here."

Li Chengjun patted Director Hong's shoulder hard, looked him up and down, and felt very emotional.

"Welcome, Lao Li."

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time. Otherwise, you would have lived a wonderful life in Sijiu City."

Director Hong also clapped his arms and said jokingly.

"Haha, I brought my family with me this time."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's right behind."

Lao Hong looked and saw a woman and three children getting out of the truck behind.

"Xiao Hu, go find your mother and ask her to come over."

The younger son immediately ran away, but the older son stepped forward to say hello and help get things.

Obviously, he is more familiar with the Li family's children.

"You two have known each other for a long time."

Wang Huzi said at the side, "I volunteered to introduce you along the way, but it seems like a waste of effort."

They both laughed and said, "Lao Li and I met on the Long March. Later, I went to the battlefield in the north and he stayed in China. After I came back, I lost contact with him. We haven't seen each other for a few years."

Li Chengjun nodded, "I went to the northwest."

With just one simple sentence, both Lao Hong and Wang Huzi understood what he meant.

Instant respect.

"Later, that thing came out, and I followed it back to the Fourth City, and later joined the Seventh Ministry of Machinery. This time, I came here because they needed people."

"Come to think of it, it's all thanks to this incident, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to meet."

Li Chengjun laughed out loud, and Lao Hong was also very happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

Of course, the reason why Li Chengjun brought his family here was also because he wanted to leave that vortex.

"Come, let me introduce them to you. These are the backbone elites of our Machinery Factory No. 2."

Lao Hong brought Li Chengjun to meet him.

Everyone came to their senses and met each other quickly.

After meeting everyone, I went to the factory office.

The original factory director's office had already been cleaned up and vacated. Li Chengjun wanted to be polite, but was forced in by Lao Hong.

In the room, Lao Hong, Li Chengjun and Wang Huzi sat opposite each other.

"Lao Hong, this time the commander said that he wants you to be steady."

After closing the door, the three of them started talking in whispers.

Wang Huzi frowned when he heard this, "Is that so powerful over there?"

"Yeah. It's better now."

"Especially after the machinery factory disrupted the situation. However, this thing only treats the symptoms and not the root cause."

Old Hong remained silent, just nodded, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"But you don't have to worry. The sky is still the sky and it won't change."

Li Chengjun consoled him, then lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard about what happened in Shanghai?"

"what's up?"

Wang Huzi was curious, as the two were not well-informed in the northwest.

"Hey, this matter has to start with Yang Xiaotao's family"

Obviously, Li Chengjun knew more about some things and told the whole process in detail.

"This incident caused a huge earthquake."

"Not only was Shanghai shocked, but even when the news spread back to Beijing, people were also shocked."

"You don't know, it is said that those guys were so scared that they dared not go out."

"I was able to accept this arrangement smoothly this time, which is why they were stunned."

"Otherwise it wouldn't be me who came."

Li Chengjun felt relieved when he said this.

He also roughly guessed the intention of the superiors, that this was a safe house.

If you come here early, you can spend the night in peace. "By the way, let's go to his house for dinner later. Mr. He will be there too. Let's meet him then."

Lao Hong reacted quickly, immediately returned to normal, and then started talking.

"Well, I brought a lot of gifts this time, some from the machinery factory, and some that Yang Xiaotao asked me to bring."

Li Chengjun thought of something else, "By the way, before we left, Yang Xiaotao gave us a lot of bottles and cans, saying that you guys like to eat them."

Hearing this, Wang Huzi stroked his three-inch long beard and said, "That's a good thing, Lao Li. You'll know after living here for a while."

With the arrival of Li Chengjun, things at the Northwest Factory No. 2 gradually stabilized.

In the following days, thanks to Lao Hong's strong support, no accidents occurred in the Second Factory, which allowed the factory's industrial adjustment to proceed smoothly.

"Dad, he's just a team leader. It's not like I haven't been one before. Is it that serious?"

In the room, Liu Guangtian looked at Liu Haizhong's smug look and couldn't help but criticize him.

Liu Guangtian is no longer afraid of being hit by Liu Hai. Not to mention that he is not afraid, even if a fight really breaks out, it is hard to tell who will hit whom.

When Liu Haizhong heard it, he acted differently than before and didn't take it seriously at all.

If this had happened in the past, that hot-tempered guy would have taken action long ago.

The reason he can endure it now is not only because he cannot beat his son, but more importantly, his temper has been worn out over time.

"It's so hard for your dad to become a team leader, how can he not show off?"

The second aunt was busy cooking nearby.

Ever since Liu Haizhong was transferred to the machinery factory, the three of them have been working on the farm.

Later, the machinery factory needed manpower, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were transferred here because they could read and write.

Nowadays, Liu Guangtian works in a machine repair factory, and the person he follows is Gong Feng, who previously followed Yang Xiaotao.

Later, Gong Feng and the others learned that he was Yang Xiaotao's neighbor and that they grew up together. Their attitude towards him changed immediately, and they became even more friendly to each other.

Liu Guangtian also knew that he was benefiting from Yang Xiaotao in disguise.

Over time, he gradually became close to Yang Xiaotao, and when he talked to others about what happened in the compound, he mostly defended him.

Of course, matters concerning their family must be downplayed.

"Mom, I'm back."

Liu Guangfu's voice came from the door and the three of them looked up.

Then Liu Guangfu walked in wearing a hat.

He is now an apprentice in a steel factory, and can be considered a worker.

"Come here, third brother. Look, dad is the team leader again."

Liu Guangfu was stunned, then looked at Liu Haizhong's show-off appearance and curled his lips and said, "What's the big deal? It's still under liberation."

At this point, Liu Haizhong's face froze.

Because of industrial adjustment, Yan Jiefang has now become the deputy director, who is his immediate superior.

This made Liu Haizhong feel very embarrassed.

"Humph, let me tell you, we have a new factory manager."

"Do you know why the factory manager was changed? Do you know why I became the team leader after the factory manager was changed?"

"You can't just look at the current results. You have to look at the problem from a political perspective.

"Stop it, stop it."

Liu Guangtian stood up suddenly, and the second aunt and Liu Guangfu also came over.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, we are now solemnly warning you."

"Work hard and be a down-to-earth person, and don't do anything else."

"It would save us from trouble and disturb our peace."

"Yes, if you dare to do it, we will be the first to report you and make sure you can't even be the team leader."

Liu Guangtian said this seriously, and Liu Haizhong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

But seeing that the mother and her two daughters were united in their hatred of the enemy, Liu Haizhong could only put aside his original thoughts.

"Okay, okay, you guys are awesome. I'm just scared."

As Liu Haizhong was speaking, he sat aside sulking, but the mother and her two children were all happy, as if they had won a battle.

"By the way, Mom, I heard Yan Jiefang is dating a girl. He's planning to settle down here!"

Liu Guangtian suddenly spoke up, and Second Aunt was startled. But when she thought about how all the houses in Sijiu City were gone, she became gloomy again, "Actually, it's pretty good here, too. There aren't so many things to deal with."

Hearing this, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu nodded together.

Even Liu Haizhong shifted his butt in his seat.

Machinery Factory No. 2, staff dormitory.

This one-bedroom apartment is a welfare benefit provided by the machinery factory and the Northwest region to outstanding employees.

Of course, those who own this kind of house are middle and senior leaders of the machinery factory.

At this time, on the road outside, Yan Jiefang was walking in small steps, followed by a girl.

This girl is Han Li.

At this moment, here, the dullness on Han Li's face is gone, and there is more hope in her eyes.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Han Li's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

Yan Jiefang stopped and looked back at her.

The girl in front of me has been working hard since she came to the machinery factory.

He could see that this was a man who had not done much work.

Even when she was sweeping the floor, her posture of holding the broom was incorrect, but her seriousness and desire to do a good job were deeply engraved in his eyes.

Later, he took the initiative to help her, lead her in the work, and teach her how to do it.

Step by step, the two came together.

"You know, I don't care about that."

There was a more mature look on Yan Jiefang's face.

Stepping out of the courtyard into that new world made his life no longer boring.

"But I care."

Han Li lowered her voice and spoke.

"I can't let you get hurt by my mistakes."

"I'm not afraid of getting in trouble. I'm already here, what else should I be afraid of?"

Yan Jiefang said indifferently.

"But you have to go back."

“No, it’s actually pretty good here.”
