Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Ma Daohao took Li Huaide and Shi Guijun to meet the leader. The leader was very amiable and agreed directly, "Chinese abroad are also Chinese. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. We should be able to provide them with help. Daohao, you are responsible for arranging this matter. I will tell them that it would be a good idea for them to study in Shijiazhuang."

Li Huaide and Shi Guijun were very excited when they met the leader, especially Li Huaide, who was encouraged by the leader and praised for his good management of the factory. Li Huaide was so excited that he burst into tears.

After returning to the headquarters, Commander Ma discussed and arranged the specific matters. He arranged for Li Huaide and Shi Guijun to call Zhang Dabao tomorrow to tell them that the country agreed to this matter. He also asked the two to go to Hong Kong to discuss the specific procedures. The purpose of the trip was to conduct an inspection and study and to contact for orders. Shi Guijun changed out of his military uniform and followed Li Huaide to Hong Kong in the name of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Huaide and Shi Guijun left the headquarters and went directly to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"Old Li, I didn't expect that I would become your subordinate," said Shi Guijun as he sat behind Li Huaide's desk.

"You are not doing well. Remember when we were in the army, you were the battalion commander and I was a battalion-level staff officer. After all these years, you are no longer capable and are now a regimental-level cadre. My current rank is that of a full division commander. Lao Shi, if I were in the army, you should say hello to the commander," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Get out! I will never call you. If you want to inspect something, you have to do it like an inspection. It's impossible for just the two of us to go, right? You must bring a technician or something, right?" Shi Guijun said.

"Lao Shi, jokes aside, this matter still depends on you. You should contact the military academy and ask them to send a person in charge. At least you should introduce the courses to them. You should discuss with Commander Ma to bring a few people in charge of military equipment. It's not just for learning. Weapons are also commodities and can also earn foreign exchange," said Li Huaide.

"That makes sense. You are smart. You married the daughter of an old leader in the army, and became a director-level cadre in the unit within ten years. You are worthy of being our wise man. I will go back to decide the number of people, and you should also decide. I will come early tomorrow morning and call your cousin," said Shi Guijun.

"Okay, let's act separately," Li Huaide nodded in agreement.

After seeing Shi Guijun off, Li Huaide called Xu Sinian in.

"Director, is there something wrong?" Xu Sinian saw Li Huaide frowning. The director, who didn't like smoking, actually lit a cigarette.

"Si Nian, there's something. I received a notice from the department asking our factory to send someone to Hong Kong for two purposes. One is to learn the advanced management methods there, and the other is to consolidate existing orders and see if we can develop new orders. The department specifically asked me to lead the team personally, so shouldn't I discuss with you who to arrange to go?" Li Huaide put out his cigarette and said to Xu Si Nian.

"Going abroad?" Xu Sinian was stunned. In this day and age, going abroad is something that no one dares to even think about. Who doesn't want to go out and see the world? Everyone says that the world outside is so good.

"How old are you? You're so jumpy." Li Huaide said.

"This is too shocking. How many people should our factory send? Besides, the orders are almost at full capacity now, and our production capacity can't keep up," said Xu Sinian.

"If we can't keep up, we can think of other ways. We can transfer the production to other units, or we can purchase new equipment. How many people are there? There are still five or six people in other units," said Li Huaide.

"Only five or six people are allowed to go out. That's too few people. Who wouldn't want to go out and take a look? Well, if we want to learn how to send technicians, we can only choose one between Deputy Director Wang Cheng and Chief Engineer Chu," said Xu Sinian with a sigh.

"You want to go too? Maybe next time. You forgot that our unit has an office in Hong Kong," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Who doesn't want to go? But there are only two of us as leaders in our organization. Since you are leaving as the full-time employee, I certainly can't leave. Let's agree that I will go next time. I've long wanted to go out and see what the outside world is like," Xu Sinian said with a smile.

"Let Wang Cheng go. He knows Da Biao and some things are easy to discuss. Send two people from the technical department. First, they must have strong political qualities, second, be educated, and third, be young. You and Wang Cheng choose the people," said Li Huaide.

"There are only four of us including you, not five or six," Xu Sinian asked.

"Si Nian, you were an office director. Are you getting cocky now that you've become a leading cadre? Doesn't the department send people? We're lucky to have four. If we don't choose the right people early, maybe we can reduce the number of people," said Li Huaide with a smile.

"Damn, I forgot that we still have a mother-in-law." Xu Sinian laughed, then went out to discuss personnel matters with Deputy Factory Director Wang Cheng.

Although only a few people knew that the Red Star Steel Mill was going to send its employees to study in Hong Kong, as soon as Wang Cheng and Xu Sinian publicly stated the request in the Technical Department, the news spread throughout the Red Star Steel Mill in just one afternoon and even reached the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Li Huaide was reporting to Minister Tang and Deputy Minister Shi in the ministry at that time. Minister Tang, as the head of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, had already received a call from his superior, so he was not surprised by this matter. When he spoke, the Deputy Minister also understood what he meant and immediately agreed.

Li Huaide also told the leaders that there were still two vacancies for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill that they could not accommodate, and hoped that the two leaders could help solve the problem, which made the two ministers and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Machinery Industry laugh.

"Teacher, let me make a bet with you. If we spread the word that our department has two places for studying abroad, believe it or not, we won't be able to close the door of our office?" Minister Tang said to Deputy Minister Shi.

"I won't gamble. How could I gamble with you when I know I will lose? I have already said that Li Huaide is a sly guy. Now you believe it, right?" Deputy Minister Shi laughed.

"Now we can see it, but Huaide is in trouble and we must help him," Minister Tang also smiled.

"Of course, this is what our leaders should do," Deputy Minister Shi Kejun laughed.

"Huaide, we will arrange people now. Please come and notify us before you leave. But there are too few places. How can we divide them if we each have one?" Minister Tang had a new worry.

After Li Huaide came out of the mechanical department, he did not go home, but went directly to his father-in-law's house.

"Huaide, I heard that your unit is organizing people to go abroad for inspection?" said Li Huaide's father-in-law, Deputy Minister Xing.

"Yes, Dad, it was arranged by our superiors, in the name of our unit," Li Huaide said vaguely.

"I see. This is an opportunity. When we go out, we must take a good look and learn well. The gap between us and the outside world is quite large," said Vice Minister Xing.

"I understand, Dad," said Li Huaide.

When Li Huaide's two children knew that their father was going abroad, they began to act coquettishly with him, hoping that he would bring back gifts. Of course, Li Huaide agreed to all of them.
