Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Lin Ruixue smiled and replied: "No, I just think it's great that you thought of this."

She never concealed her admiration for her husband's talent.

When Zhou Qi was talking to Du Qianqian on the phone, she had already quickly calculated in her mind.

With her experience working in a cotton mill, she knew that if Zhou Qi's idea was implemented, the profits would far exceed the current level.

"As long as you pay attention to the details in your daily life, you will find many opportunities," Zhou Qi explained.

Lin Ruixue nodded in agreement, but still said with some concern: "However, it is still uncertain whether the cotton mill can be acquired smoothly. Isn't it too early to start planning now?"

"Even if the acquisition is not successful, our goal can still be achieved. It's just that owning our own factory will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble." Having said that, Zhou Qi decided to call Bai Minghui to inquire about the situation.

After learning the news, Bai Minghui explained: "Although the cotton mill is located in the county, it is actually managed by the municipal state-owned assets supervision and administration commission."

After learning about this, Bai Minghui suggested that the project could be indirectly promoted through cooperation with Pinliang Shop and was willing to provide help. But he also frankly expressed the difficulty of the operation.

In response, Zhou Qi said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, County Magistrate Bai, but I can contact and resolve the city's affairs myself."

Bai Minghui nodded in understanding. Although he was unable to help directly, he promised that once the project was implemented, he would try his best to obtain more preferential policy support.

After saying this, Zhou Qi hung up the phone.

He didn't want to pay too much attention to the tedious affairs of the city.

After all, in his eyes, a small factory was not worth the fuss, so he simply chose to wait.

However, just two days later, a phone call from Zhang Wenhui broke the silence.

"Brother Zhou, good news." Zhang Wenhui's slightly excited voice came from the microphone, "There has been progress on the acquisition. The Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has specially sent a specialist to negotiate. The initial offer is 5 million, and it is estimated that it can be negotiated down to about 4 million. Let's find a chance to have a good chat."

Although four million does not sound cheap, if you consider that you can get the land at the same time, the deal does seem particularly attractive.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Zhou Qi drove his wife Lin Ruixue to the long-missed cotton mill.

The once glorious factory is now left with only empty buildings and a handful of dejected workers.

Even if it wasn't dead silent, it was pretty close.

The security guard's face was full of traces of time and worries about the future; the few employees he occasionally met all looked worried.

When the couple got out of the car, they unexpectedly met Lin Ruixue's former colleague Sister Wang.

Although they exchanged a few pleasantries, both sides knew that their status and position were no longer what they were before.

Lin Ruixue is not someone who likes to show off, but her temperament still makes people feel that there has been a significant change.

Lin Ruixue felt uncomfortable seeing the old team leader in front of her, who used to be strict and harsh to her, now become so humble and reserved.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Qi asked softly when he noticed his wife's strange expression.

Lin Ruixue nodded slightly and sighed: "Sister Wang used to be the leader of our group. She has a strong personality and is meticulous in her work. When I saw her just now, she seemed like a different person."

Zhou Qi patted her shoulder gently and said softly: "In fact, it is not others who have changed, but yourself. Money can change a person's external conditions, but what really determines a person's height is the inner thoughts.

Even if you don't deliberately show anything, the confidence that radiates from the inside out will make people feel different.

Even if you put on your old work clothes and go back to that position, everyone will still feel that unique atmosphere.”

Listening to Zhou Qi's words, Lin Ruixue fell into deep thought, and then asked curiously: "So what kind of person do you think I have become now? Am I too contrived?"

"Of course not." Zhou Qi answered firmly: "You have become more mature and stable, and you understand the goals you want to pursue more clearly. This change happened naturally and cannot be achieved by superficial efforts."

Zhou Qi raised a smile and praised: "You have become more charming."

Every word in this sentence is full of gems and sincerity.

Lin Ruixue's life today is no longer as busy and laborious as before, and she no longer worries about daily trivial matters.

Not only that, as she handled business affairs, she gradually exuded a unique leadership temperament, and the whole person became extraordinarily different.

Even though she doubted whether Zhou Qi was joking, Lin Ruixue couldn't help feeling happy at the praise.

The two men walked into the factory director's office and were greeted by a familiar scene: three people were sitting there, including the cotton mill's boss Sun Zhihua, his deputy Zhang Wenhui, and a middle-aged man with a chubby figure and a shrewd look behind his glasses.

Although he had been here many times, this was Zhou Qi's first face-to-face communication with Sun Zhihua. As a well-known local figure, Sun Zhihua's name had long been familiar to him.

As for the man with glasses whom he had never met, he was undoubtedly the representative of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission mentioned by Zhang Wenhui on the phone.

When they first met, Zhou Qi had a bad impression of Director Song Yong. He had an air of arrogance and a look of contempt in his eyes.

Seeing Zhou Qi coming, Zhang Wenhui immediately stood up to greet him and began to introduce: "Mr. Zhou, please allow me to introduce you to our respected Director Sun."

After a brief greeting, Zhang Wenhui continued to guide Zhou Qi to meet Song Yong who was sitting in the main seat: "This is Director Song of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission who we specially invited."

"Oh? I guess you are Mr. Ma, the famous owner of Pinliang Shop?" Before Zhang Wenhui could finish his words, Song Yong interrupted him and stood up.

In fact, almost everyone knows the story of Pinliang Shop and its founder Ma Yuancai.

Zhou Qi smiled and corrected his misunderstanding: "Hello, Director Song, I am Zhou Qi, a shareholder of Pinliang Shop."

Hearing this, Song Yong's face instantly turned ugly. He had thought that he could talk directly to the company's CEO after coming from afar, but he didn't expect to only meet a shareholder.

This made him feel a little dissatisfied.

While Song Yong was talking to Zhou Qi, his eyes inadvertently saw Lin Ruixue behind Zhou Qi.

For a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the beautiful woman quietly, and couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

"Who is this?" he asked curiously.

Noticing Song Yong's gaze, Zhou Qi did not respond immediately, but Zhang Wenhui took the lead to introduce: "Oh, this is Mr. Zhou's wife, Ms. Lin Ruixue. Coincidentally, she used to work in our cotton mill for a period of time."
