Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

The frost came suddenly and lasted for a strange time, occurring three times in just half a month.

Every time the temperature rises a little, a cold current moves south. Many farms in Beijing were not well prepared to deal with the situation, and coupled with drought, the losses were very serious.

Some farms even have problems with subsequent supplies due to the disaster.

Textile factory director's office

Li Guohua rushed to the factory early in the morning. Before he even sat down, someone told him to come to the factory director as soon as he arrived.

What did Director Wang want to talk to me about? He had also reported the farm matter. It had been more than ten days. Could it be that there was some progress in the ranch business? Li Guohua thought secretly.

When he arrived at the office, in addition to Director Wang, there were two other people. One of them was Deputy Minister Xiao, whom he knew. The other was a young man with glasses, a white shirt and suit pants, with fair skin, and about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Li Guohua didn't like him at first sight.

How to say it, he is different from most of the current cadres, there is no simplicity and sincerity in his eyes.

This person looks very proud. He always looks at people with his chin puffed out. Especially with that pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looks like a complete scoundrel.

"Guohua is here. Let me introduce you. This is Qi Wei, deputy director of the Technical Department of the General Office of the Ministry of Light Industry! He is an expert in agriculture and animal husbandry, but he is a rare talent. You two should have a good exchange with him!"

"Deputy Director Qi, this is our factory's deputy director of logistics and the person in charge of the farm, Comrade Li Guohua!"

Wang Shaosheng introduced the two of them as soon as he came up, and also wanted them to become friends.

"Hello, Deputy Director Qi! I will learn a lot from you in the future!" Li Guohua stretched out his hands with a smile on his face and shook hands with the other party.

The deputy director of the Technical Department under the General Office is at least a department-level cadre, older than me, which is unlucky.

"Hahaha, it's good for you to be modest, young comrade! But you've managed to run such a large farm, and it was unscathed in this frost disaster. This proves that you are really capable. We believe in seeking truth from facts!"

"I called you here this time because I want you to take the lead. I personally called your name, so you can't ignore me!" Deputy Minister Xiao said with a smile.

It can be seen that he admires Li Guohua very much and is willing to promote and make use of him.

"Guohua, didn't you want to expand the farm last time? This time your superiors have approved it. There is a large piece of wasteland to the south of Nanjiao Farm. The department has decided to set up a farm together with the textile factory. You will still be appointed as the farm director, and Deputy Director Qi will be the deputy director." Wang Shaosheng saw Li Guohua's confused face and hurriedly explained.

I know that the land on the south side of the farm is about one thousand meters wide and two thousand meters long, with at least 3000 acres of land, more than half of which is saline-alkali land. Maybe it is for this reason that it has been preserved until now.

There is no problem in setting up a farm. Half of it can be used for planting and the other half can be used to build a small ranch. As for how the factory and the department divide it, we don't care.

This is bigger than the ranches in the north of the city. It turns out that the higher the rank of the leader, the greater his ambition.

Just let this pretty boy cooperate with me, okay, what good can it be? He is a higher official than me, and when the two sides disagree, who will listen to whom, Li Guohua thought secretly.

Qi Wei seemed to have known about this for a long time. He was very calm and didn't seem to have any objection to being the deputy director again.

"My dear young comrade, I know this is a little different from what you proposed, so I made a special trip here in person today. If you have any concerns or needs, please let me know, and I will help you solve them on the spot if they can be solved!" Deputy Minister Xiao saw Li Guohua's hesitation and seemed to know what he was thinking.

In fact, as a senior leader, he doesn't need to show up for such a small matter. But as a good leader who cares about the country and the people, as long as it is good for the country and the people, it doesn't matter how big or small it is.

The recent disasters and the experts' predictions for the second half of the year are a bit too shocking. He also wants to increase the ability to resist disasters little by little in this way. As long as everyone works together, man will conquer nature.

"Where do the farm workers come from and who will recruit them?" Li Guohua asked his first question, which is very important.

If they are people sent by the department, they will definitely not listen to me in the future. I will not be able to give them orders at that time, and the space cannot be exposed, so I will just stop fighting.

"You can recruit workers by yourselves, or we can help you recruit them. It's up to you whether they are from the city or the countryside!" Deputy Minister Xiao was very generous, and his words showed great courage.

"What if Deputy Director Qi and I disagree? Who should I listen to?" This is also very important. It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If your words don't count, you won't suffer that anger.

"Guohua, what are you talking about? Deputy Director Qi was sent by the ministry and is your leader. If there is anything you need to discuss, you should discuss it with us. We should unite as comrades!" Wang Shaosheng criticized Li Guohua but his eyes were fixed on Qi Wei.

This is also what he was worried about. If the department turns against him, all his efforts will be in vain. It would be better for him to live his own life behind closed doors.

"Haha, you guys!"

"To tell you the truth, Comrade Qi Wei's main mission this time is to learn. Since you have been appointed as the farm director, of course you have the final say on all matters within the farm, but I still hope that you can get along well with each other."

Deputy Minister Xiao said this to both Li Guohua and Qi Wei. He was afraid that the two would really have a fight, and a good thing would turn into a bad thing, which would be embarrassing.

Qi Wei pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled at Li Guohua.

Li Guohua pursed his lips and said nothing. He believed in his sixth sense very much. If he didn't like the first impression, there would definitely be problems later. This was not reliable.

And this Qi Wei, you are too arrogant, you even dare to laugh at me, believe it or not, I will make you cry when the time comes.

"If you can take on this task, I will give you a position in the ministry to make it easier for you to manage the farm, but it won't be an actual position."

"Well, this farm is quite large, and you also have to take care of the textile factory. It will be inconvenient for you to run back and forth. I heard that you can drive, so the department can provide you with a work car. It's an old one, though, so don't dislike it!" Deputy Minister Xiao said with a smile.

Li Guohua's first reaction was, "You're investigating me?" But he immediately realized that this investigation was not wrong, after all, the organization wanted to use him.

My second reaction was, my dear mother, how did you know that I was afraid of riding a bike? You must have felt my, Li Guohua’s pulse and wanted to kill me with one blow.

As a person of later generations, I am used to driving and will drive if I travel more than a few miles. Now, apart from other things, I am tired of riding a bicycle back and forth between home and the factory every day, so tired that I hate going to work.

As for promotion, it is secondary. The higher the position, the better. A high-ranking official will attract hatred and be easily affected.

"Report to the commander, ensure the mission is accomplished!" Li Guohua stood at attention and shouted loudly.

As for his previous vow to remain silent for twenty years and live an honest life, he had completely forgotten it.

"Hahaha, your factory director really understands you and grasps your pulse at once!" Deputy Minister Xiao laughed.

Well, it turns out that I was sold out by my own people. I thought I was being investigated by the Imperial Guards.

"Sir, can this car be registered under the name of the textile factory and designated for my use?"

He was afraid that he would have a falling out with the department and have his car taken back.

"Well, I agree in principle!"

Deputy Minister Xiao imitated his seriousness and made a rare joke.
