King of Industry

When the delegation got off the plane and came out of the airport, there were already several cars waiting.

Du Yitao, Sun Zhi, and Li Ru were dragged into a commercial vehicle, and Zhao Guoyang, who hadn't slept well all night, could only cheer up and chat with the leaders.

Old Du, are we going to report to your ministry first? The leaders shouldn't be at work yet, right? Sun Zhi asked, tilting his head.

Du Yitao explained with a smile: There is no rush to report work. Let's go to the small cafeteria in our ministry to fill our stomachs. To be honest, the food in Prague is delicious, but I am still used to drinking our millet porridge and eating fried rice. Fried dough sticks and steamed rice balls!

Old Du, what you said almost made me greedy! Li Ru, who was on the side, licked his lips and said.

Indeed, the delegation went out for six or seven days. Except for the one on the plane before the trip, they almost never ate food like rice.

At this time, it finally landed on the land of Huaxia, and everyone naturally yearned for these traditional delicacies.

Amidst the discussion of several bigwigs, the car whizzed towards the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

...

Hey, Guoyang, let's have rice balls again! The chefs in our department are not as skilled as ordinary people, especially the rice balls, which are soft, refreshing and chewy...

Hearing Director Du's consolation, Zhao Guoyang touched his bulging stomach, feeling a little helpless.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and it was less than half an hour before the official working time of the ministry.

In the small cafeteria, some comrades from the ministry who had breakfast came one after another.

When acquaintances saw Du Yitao, they naturally wanted to come over to say hello.

People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are no strangers to Sun Zhi and Li Ru who are beside Du Yitao, especially Sun Zhi, many people have dealt with him directly.

After seeing these two big men, the people who came and went nodded their heads one after another.

Among the four people who sat and had breakfast, the only one who was unfamiliar to everyone was Zhao Guoyang.

Seeing this young man chatting and laughing with Director Du, Director Sun, and Director Li, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, large and small, became a little suspicious.

Zhao Guoyang is naturally aware that he has become the focus of everyone's eyes.

Since his rebirth, Zhao Guoyang has experienced many times when people pay attention to him like watching a giant panda. At this time, he didn't feel anything to be nervous about.

Noticing the calm look on his face, the three bosses on the side were secretly heartbroken.

Just when Du Yitao smiled and was about to say something to tease Zhao Guoyang, an old man in his fifties entered the small cafeteria.

The old man was tall and tall, and his unsmiling appearance made people feel a little intimidated.

Seeing this person coming in, there was a greeting in the small cafeteria.

lead!

Leader Huo, morning!

Du Yitao and the others had also seen the leader at this time, and several of them stood up quickly to say hello to the old man.

Oh? Xiao Du, are you back?

While talking, the old man glanced at Zhao Guoyang who was standing up after him, and said with a smile, Hehe, you should be the omnipotent little Zhao that Comrade Yao Gang talked about, right?

After hearing Du Yitao and his names, Zhao Guoyang naturally understood the identity of the old man in front of him.

He nodded slightly, and replied respectfully: Leader Huo, hello, I'm Zhao Guoyang!

Okay, okay! The old man looked at Zhao Guoyang who answered meticulously, and smiled in relief.

Leader Huo, your porridge and rice balls are ready. Are you eating here, or... A staff member of the cafeteria came over cautiously and asked.

Well, pack it for me! The old man said to the staff, then turned his gaze to Du Yitao and said to the three of them, Xiao Du, have you eaten enough? This trip to Prague, the work of your delegation has been completed very well. Outstanding, worthy of praise...

Let's go, go to my office to discuss in detail!

Yes, leader! Du Yitao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly nodded in response.

A group of four came to the office upstairs, and the leader took advantage of the gap to wear reading glasses.

Hey, why are you still standing? Sit down, everyone! Leader Huo smiled and gestured, inviting Du Yitao and Zhao Guoyang to sit down and talk.

Among them, except for Du Yitao who often dealt with Leader Huo, his expression was quite natural.

Sun Zhi and Li Ru next to them were a little apprehensive, and their buttocks were only halfway up on the sofa.

On the contrary, Zhao Guoyang sat down calmly, with his back straight, but with a somewhat respectful expression.

Leader Huo's eyes lingered on Zhao Guoyang for a moment, and then he turned to the topic: Xiao Du, Xiao Sun, let's talk about what happened during this trip to Prague.

After listening to the boss's instructions, Du Yitao and Sun Zhi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly recounted every detail of the delegation's trip.

When Leader Huo heard that the delegation not only had a great chance to win the shares of Skoda Automobile Company, but also established a relationship with the famous military enterprise Brno Arsenal in Czechoslovakia, the joy on his face was somewhat concealed Can't live.

good very good!

Leader Huo inspected several people for a week, and said appreciatively, This time, you have really worked hard, hard work!

Hearing the leader's words of praise, Du Yitao said awkwardly: The leader is mainly 'Researcher Zhao'. He has a wide range of knowledge in industry and a far-reaching vision for future industrial development. There is nothing to say!

Yes, yes, yes! Sun Zhi echoed, Whether it is the negotiation with 'Skoda' or the possible in-depth cooperation with Czechoslovakia, Researcher Zhao has contributed a lot.

Without the 'Chief Advisor' of Researcher Zhao, our delegation would definitely not have had the chance to achieve such brilliant results this time! Sun Zhi finally sighed.

When Du Yitao and Sun Zhi praised Zhao Guoyang, Li Ru was not very talkative.

After all, Zhao Guoyang is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry in name.

In itself, there is also a title of special researcher in the ministry.

If he praised him too much, he would be more or less suspected of Wang Po sells melons.

After Du Yitao and Sun Zhi's narration, leader Huo basically understood the process of the delegation's trip.

He stared at Zhao Guoyang with admiring eyes for a long time, and then said: Xiao Zhao, you have made great contributions to the country this time.

On this matter, after I communicate with Leader Fang of your Mechanical and Electronic Industry Department and Leader He of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, I will come up with a reward method!

Zhao Guoyang said in a rather reserved voice: Leader, this is what I should do, rewards or something, don't use it!

Haha, why, what's so embarrassing about this? It's our principle to distinguish between rewards and punishments. It's not that you just say no to it... Leader Huo said cheerfully.

Just when Leader Huo was laughing, Du Yitao took the opportunity to say: Leader, we have talked about the composition of the leadership of the 'Huaxia Automobile Group', and everyone agrees that it is best for Researcher Zhao to hang on The title of deputy general manager...

After hearing this, Leader Huo slowly put away his smile, thought for a while and said: This matter is mainly determined by Lao Fang from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade are just making a recommendation. role!

Yes yes yes, what you said is true! Du Yitao said with some shame.

Now that this matter was mentioned, Huo Zhenlin simply turned his head and asked Zhao Guoyang: But Xiao Zhao, let me ask you, do you think you have the ability to take up the position of deputy factory-level leader of a state-owned enterprise at the deputy ministerial level?

Hearing this question from Leader Huo, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi, and Li Ru were all startled, and they all turned their eyes to Zhao Guoyang who was sitting on the farthest side.

Facing Leader Huo's aggressive questioning, Zhao Guoyang seemed very calm.

After pondering for a while, he replied calmly: Leader Huo, personally, I feel that my age is not suitable for such an important position.

Even the post of technical director of 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation', if possible, I hope to be able to drop it as much as possible.

When Zhao Guoyang said this, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi and Li Ru became a little anxious.

If Leader Huo hadn't been sitting here, the three of them would have spoken out to dissuade him.

Huo Zhenlin was quite interested in Zhao Guoyang's attitude.

He touched the stubble on his chin, and said slowly: I didn't think of your answer. Then, let's talk about your thoughts in detail.

Zhao Guoyang nodded and said, Leader Huo, I think so. Our 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company' was established in the first place just to win a title so that we could compete for the shares of 'Skoda'.

But in fact, this company is just planning and setting the tone so far.

Zhao Guoyang said unhurriedly: According to my speculation, if we really want to launch the company, our 'Huaxia Automobile Group' needs at least a year of preparation time.

Therefore, it seems a little premature to talk about my role in this company.

Zhao Guoyang looked at Huo Zhenlin sincerely and said, I think it's best to wait until the company actually starts operating before making a decision. Maybe by then there will be a more suitable 'technical director' than me!

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhao Guoyang said again: As for the position of the deputy general manager, it goes without saying, I definitely can't do it!

Zhao Guoyang spread his hands and said: First of all, this position must be held by a cadre above the department level, and my qualifications are definitely not enough.

One more thing, I have a lot of work in other areas, and I'm afraid that I will be at a loss when I take on the position of the deputy general manager...

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's unpretentious words, Huo Zhenlin showed an admiring smile on his face.
