Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

On October 1st, the entire city was a sea of ​​green and red, with a blue or gray torrent occasionally flowing into the crowd. This ancient land was filled with youthful smiles.

Including the commendation meeting held by the Ministry of Industry for the successful completion of this trip to Hong Kong Island, Liu Dong smiled and looked at Zhang Renkang in front of him and said

"I didn't make a mistake. You are a hero and a hero of our Ministry of Industry."

"Yesterday, the secretary of the Security Department called and said that there is a comrade in our department who has a high level of ideological awareness. I was wondering who it was."

"I didn't expect it to be you, kid."

"There is no word 'hero' in XXXX's dictionary, well said."

“It makes some of us feel ashamed.”

Liu Dong was extremely satisfied with Zhang Renkang. As an old revolutionary who had traveled thousands of miles from the south, his greatest hope was to see generations of outstanding and ideologically conscious comrades emerge. Now he was able to discover Zhang Renkang during his tenure.

Liu Dong was very satisfied with this. Although Zhang Renkang was unbelievably young, so what? Liu Dong was still confident that he could help Zhang Renkang grow up.

Then the deputy secretary Gao Yang said with a smile:

"Comrade Renkang, you have solved a big problem for all the units in our Ministry of Industry this time."

"You may not know this yet, but the latest news has come from Hong Kong Island, asking us to send someone to the island to discuss specific cooperation."

"Now this channel to the West has been opened."

Gao Yang was smiling. The reason they were so happy was because they received a telegram from Hong Kong the day before yesterday. It was a message drafted by Lou Huaijin and Li Ming and forwarded by the office about Gaul and Hans agreeing to provide some industrial equipment for the country.

And notify the country to send someone to assist in the specific cooperation negotiations with Mark and Anna.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"That would be great, especially since we are developing a new model that is just waiting for engine technology and transmission system technology."

Liu Dong said curiously

"Oh, what new stuff have you come up with?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It has just been finalized and the production of prototypes has not yet started."

"This is a small car, used to transport people and goods."

"Compared to tricycles, it can travel farther, has a more stable structure, and is more suitable for long-distance use."

Liu Dong turned around and said to Gao Yang and Zhao Dingcheng with a smile

"Look, we made the right decision, didn't we?"

"This transport vehicle manufacturing plant was on the verge of bankruptcy, but only one year after it was handed over to them, it not only became profitable, but also became the first factory that could independently develop cars without any support."

Zhao Dingcheng smiled and nodded and said

"Whether it is the success of Red Star tricycles or the continuous development of new models, it is a great feat, especially without technical support and our allocation of resources to support it."

"I think Secretary Liu's previous proposal is very correct. With the manufacturing plant as the core, we should cultivate new automotive industry development points outside of Shouqi and introduce new forces for the development of our automotive industry."

Liu Dong nodded and continued

"Comrade Renkang"

"We have discussed this and you are a rare talent."

"We plan to put you in charge of the transport vehicle manufacturing plant"

"You are temporarily in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill system, and the Steel Rolling Mill will provide you with financial and material support."

"We considered calling the factory Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant, and we decided to assign it the rank of a deputy bureau unit. You will be in charge of it as a first-level unit directly under the ministry, and you will attend department meetings as a unified unit."

"As for the work of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, it will be handed over to other comrades"

"what is your opinion?"

Zhang Renkang was stunned for a moment. Although he was planning to transfer his energy from the Red Star Steel Mill to the vehicle manufacturing plant in the northern suburbs, he had no intention of leaving the Red Star Steel Mill. Especially, he was asked to attend the meeting of the Ministry of Industry as an independent unit. That was contrary to Zhang Renkang's original intention of keeping a low profile.

Zhang Renkang came back to his senses and said

"Secretary Liu, there is no problem with my work focus shifting to the automobile factory. Please consider whether to upgrade it to a department-level unit."

"The technical workers and production line scale of the manufacturing plant and many other areas in the future will need support from Red Star. If we go independent, many existing structures and progress will be greatly affected."

Liu Dong waved his hand and said with a smile

"I have taken your concerns into consideration."

"So my opinion is that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will provide you with one to two years of support under the current conditions, and the funding and support from the ministry will also be tilted towards you."

“Don’t you have the confidence that you can achieve self-sufficiency within two years?”

“This is not in line with your ability.”

Zhang Renkang felt a headache. Liu Dong and other leaders' sudden actions caught him off guard. Zhang Renkang could only say

"Should we communicate with the secretary again?"

"I still think that since it is"

Zhao Dingcheng interrupted Zhang Renkang and said

"Your secretary won't have any objections."

"Regarding the current support from Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to New Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant, there will be no change within two years."

"Now I need your opinion. Do you dare to accept this task and develop the Xinxing Automobile Factory into something good?"

Zhao Dingcheng didn't even tell Li Huaide about letting Zhang Renkang take charge of the Xinxing Vehicle Manufacturing Plant. He had his own considerations. Zhao Dingcheng had already seen that Li Huaide was not the kind of person who could make further progress.

Especially now, almost all matters, big or small, in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill are handled by Zhang Renkang. To put it bluntly, if Secretary Li Huaide did not respect Zhang Renkang, he would be no different from a rubber stamp.

Zhao Dingcheng's family is not without sons, especially Zhao Jianjun who has done well in the textile factory. Now it is time for him to move to a new position. Zhao Dingcheng plans to let Zhao Jianjun go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as a deputy director, and then slowly control the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, an important industrial unit in the city, with the assistance of Li Huaide.

After Zhao Jianjun is able to gain a foothold in the Red Star Steel Mill, the Zhao family will at least have a stable base in the future. Subsequent Zhao family members can use the Red Star Steel Mill as a foundation to slowly climb up.

Compared with raising their ranks in a short period of time, being able to leave a stable political legacy for their descendants is the future foundation of their Zhao family. Zhao Dingcheng did not inform Li Huaide about this at all. When he learned that Li Huaide had a chaotic private life and kept a mistress outside, Zhao Dingcheng had actually given up on this son-in-law.

What else could Zhang Renkang say? He could only nod and promise loudly.

"Report to the commander, I promise to complete the task"

"To create a new type of automobile manufacturing plant with independent innovation and vitality"

Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and said

"That's why we named it Nova, the new rising Venus."

"You are young, have ideas, and are capable. I am looking forward to you reaching that point."
