1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 50 Leadership Pressure
Things in the world are sometimes so dramatic.

After being awakened by Lu Yifan's words, Director Zheng analyzed and verified the truth based on more inside information he knew and found that it seemed to be the truth.

The two neighboring countries to the west suddenly approached us and sought military trade exchanges.

The real intention behind this is most likely to curry favor with the younger sister and please the master.

After all, my brother and my sister have been flirting with each other in recent years.

Especially in 71, the small ball led the big ball to break the ice.

The world has changed dramatically since then.

All the signs are indicating that our country is seeking to communicate and exchange resources with the entire Western world.

We clearly knew that there was no way we could expand our super express business line.

The military procurement representatives of the two western neighboring countries are still complaining that our military weapons are not good quality, while they are constantly visiting major military factories.

Could it be that they want to have a feast at our house and serve us well with Director Liang and his gang... ?
Director Wang has already dialed the factory’s phone number.

Unfortunately, there was no one on duty at the factory to answer the call.

Director Zheng waved his hand, indicating to Director Wang that he didn't need to make the call in a hurry.

He has been thinking seriously about whether the international situation that Lu Yifan reminded him of and the current military trade business are causally related.

Here, Director Wang just put the microphone back.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..."

Suddenly, the landline phone rang, making the three people in the conference room nervous.

Director Zheng frowned, this is not a good thing!

At this moment a phone call suddenly came in.

He could naturally guess that most of the people including Director Liang had quit the project and the matter had already alarmed the leaders of the relevant departments.

Of course, it is also possible that Director Liang and others were the first to complain. Knowing that no one could cover up what happened today, they reported the situation to their superiors as soon as they left the meeting room.

Anyway, since the relationship has been torn apart, it doesn’t matter who saves face for whom.

He stepped forward and grabbed the microphone. As expected, a roar of condemnation from the leader came out of the microphone...

After a while, Director Zheng hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

Seeing Director Wang and Lu Yifan staring at him nervously, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's okay. We still have one last chance to struggle and make amends..."

It was just as Director Zheng expected.

Director Liang and his group had just left the meeting room.

He then reported the matter to his superiors over the phone.

It is not clear how the report will be done.

But the superior leader roared in anger, cursed and threatened on the phone. All matters related to military trade and export were handed over to Director Zheng, and he also said directly that if there was any problem, the three of them would be brought to the military court...

It can be seen that the superior leader is clearly more inclined to the side with more people regarding the quarrel and conflict in their meeting room.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses, and the more people there are, the more right they are!

Little did they know that due to a strange combination of circumstances, the military trade negotiations that were originally destined to be concluded had lost a group of people who did not seek credit but only wanted to avoid mistakes, and now welcomed three active participants.

For one thing, there are two things: active pursuit and passive acceptance.

The results are, of course, very different.

The country's military trade and export business is about to open a new chapter in advance.

……

"Yifan, Lao Wang, don't worry too much. It's not a big deal!" Director Zheng reassured the two of them.

In fact, to be honest, the success or failure of the military trade export mission should be the army's own business. What does it have to do with the two ordinary people in front of them!
He really had a problem with the phone call from his superior.

The group of people surnamed Liang have now successfully escaped from the predicament.

If the mission cannot be completed, it will become their Factory 1387’s problem?

This is simply unreasonable!

"Director Zheng, our superiors have threatened to put us in charge of the military trade mission. If anything goes wrong, we will be the ones to be held responsible, right?" Lu Yifan spoke directly.

He was standing nearby and heard the roaring and cursing coming from the microphone. He was also shocked at what kind of superior could be so unreasonable and a jerk.

"Don't worry, Yifan. I will take full responsibility for this incident. It will not affect your academic progress in any way. I guarantee you with my personality..."

Seeing Lu Yifan being caught up in this unfortunate incident, Director Zheng felt extremely guilty.

This kid is a talented person that is highly sought after by famous universities in Beijing, such as Yanjing University and Tsinghua University. He is the top scorer in the province in this year's college entrance examination!
The future of life is bright and dazzling, and it cannot be ruined by things happening in the army.

"No, no, no, Director Zheng, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not worried about being held responsible afterwards. I just want to..."

I wanted to say something, Director Zheng, I'm afraid you won't be careful and let shameless people take advantage of you. What if that group of people named Liang and others also see the "sincerity" of the two western neighboring countries in negotiating business and all come back to do the same? Wouldn't that be too disgusting?

Then I thought, if I say this now, it will seem like he is deliberately trying to sow discord, which is too sinister and mean...

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..."

Suddenly, the conference room phone rang again.

Director Zheng raised his hand to signal, interrupting Lu Yifan and quickly picked up the phone. "Hello, ... Commander Luo, this is Zheng Xinmin... Uh, you already know that Lao Wang took the wrong sample... What, Commander Luo, have you arranged for our 1387th Factory to urgently send us a replacement sample... OK, OK... OK, we have confidence... We must have the confidence to stabilize the foreign guests..."

After finishing this second wave of calls.

Director Zheng's spirit suddenly became much more excited.

I saw Lu Yifan and Director Wang were looking at me expectantly.

He explained, "Our division commander Luo happened to be with the senior leader of the General Logistics Department who was in charge of this military trade. He was the first to hear the report from Liang and immediately asked the factory to send another plane to deliver the samples... Oh, by the way, Yifan, what did you want to say just now?"

"Well, it's okay, let's study how to test the sincerity of the foreign guests!" Lu Yifan once again firmly gave up the idea of ​​reminding Director Zheng to be careful of the villain who comes back to him.

He is a small person with little influence, and the matter involves some stubborn problems of the old system in the army. It is not right for him, a commoner who has never seen the world, to comment on it.

Besides, looking at the current situation, Director Zheng is not without support.

Well, the fact that Commander Luo of the military sub-district was able to immediately mobilize resources and arrange for the factory to deliver the correct military shovel sample to the special plane is enough to explain a lot of problems.

So the three of them began to discuss the strategy for the meeting and talks with the foreign guests from the two western neighbors.

Director Zheng mentioned that every time after visiting the military factory, the negotiation arrangements were made. Director Liang and his team were in the same conference room with the representatives of the White Elephant and Baba Sheep countries, at the same time. The three parties were synchronized at all times and places...

After hearing this, Lu Yifan was stunned.

These people with the surname Liang really don't understand the ways of doing things of the White Elephant and Baba Sheep people.

What's more, these are two mortal enemies.

No matter what is arranged, both sides should be treated equally and no one should be biased?

How stupid is this business negotiation strategy to treat two mortal enemies equally at all times, let them reach a tacit understanding with each other, and then use it to control your own side?
"Director Zheng, it's a stupid strategy to have our two western neighbors attend every meeting. Pakistan and Pakistan are mortal enemies. We have to let them fight each other. We have to make them become fierce competitors, rather than tacitly killing our partners..."
