Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Lin Zhengjun's arrogant behavior also frightened Bai Weiguo. He winked and said, "Zhengjun, bargain again, how much more!"

As for the Minister of Logistics, he was even more terrified.

Lin Zhengjun seemed to have about 5,000 yuan on him, which was equivalent to nearly ten years' salary. He actually kept it all on him like that. Wasn't he afraid of being robbed?

Lin Zhengjun was not surprised by their reactions. He smiled faintly and said, "Director Lu, are you willing to sign a long-term contract? Give me the answer!"

Lu Changyuan finally reacted and said with a smile: "Sign! Sign the contract immediately!"

Then everyone went back to the factory director's office together.

On the way back, Bai Weiguo pulled Lin Zhengjun aside and whispered, "Zhengjun, the rent is a bit high. Can we negotiate a price?"

"Grandpa, you won't lose out. According to the market conditions, this is about the price!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

24 yuan a month is indeed the current market price!

However, as the country gradually liberalized its control over the individual private economy, more and more self-employed individuals and collective cooperatives came to the county to do business and provide services.

In the next one or two years, the rent of storefronts in this area will skyrocket, and it will be no problem to double or triple it, so long-term rental is very cost-effective!

Seeing that Mr. Bai was unwilling and wanted to persuade him, Lin Zhengjun said meaningfully: "Old man, you have a lot of face. If you want to lower it further, people will give you this face. Once it gets out, people may gossip about you taking advantage of the public, which will not be a good influence on County Magistrate Bai!"

"Zhengjun, you are the one who thinks things through!"

After hearing this, Bai Weiguo liked Lin Zhengjun even more and said with a smile, "Look at what happened. We are doing business together and I should have helped you. I didn't expect that I would make you worry so much and even hold you back!"

“You won’t hold back.”

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "The main thing is that with you as the living devil in charge of the store, other little devils and judges will not dare to come and cause trouble. Little devils are difficult to deal with!"

"As for the money, don't worry about it. We have plenty of it."

Bai Weiguo was very happy to be praised by Lin Zhengjun, but he pretended to be unhappy and said, "What a living devil! How ugly!"

"Guardian? Is it okay to call me Guardian?"

“Haha, this is good!”

Soon, we arrived at Lu Changyuan's office and signed the contract in triplicate.

Lin Zhengjun put two of the contracts into his bag and took the keys. He didn't care about the decoration and handed them directly to Bai Weiguo.

Lu Changyuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhengjun, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Don't leave tonight. I will treat you and the old leader to a meal. The chef in our factory cafeteria is a pretty good cook!"

To be honest, just based on the fact that he was able to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, Lin Zhengjun is the most powerful person in Huaibian County, and there is no one else like him!

He immediately wanted to make friends with her!

"Director Lu, you are too kind!"

Lin Zhengjun politely declined: "I plan to leave for Beijing tomorrow. I still have a lot of things to do today, so I won't bother you any more. I'll treat you to a meal when the restaurant opens some other day. Thank you for your strong support!"

"No way. It's just a small favor. I'm just a small character, not a leader!" Seeing that Lin Zhengjun seemed really busy, Lu Changyuan didn't try to keep him.

Before leaving, Lin Zhengjun said, "Director Lu, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"

"Brother, if there is anything you can't say, just say it!"

Lin Zhengjun said solemnly: "I think there are huge safety risks in your factory. If you don't manage it strictly, there will be a major safety accident, which will be a disaster for your life and death!"

"No way?"

Lu Changyuan laughed in silence and pointed to a row of glittering medals, trophies and certificates on the wall: "Our factory has had zero safety accidents for many years in a row, and we have no more space for the medals awarded by the county and city for advanced safety production units!"

“Honor is only an affirmation of the past, it cannot represent the future!”

Lin Zhengjun said sternly: "I just saw two workers smoking at the door of the production workshop. They went into the workshop to work before they put out their cigarettes!"

"You should know that dust reaching a certain density will cause an explosion if it encounters an open flame!"

"I know!"

Lu Changyuan's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at the clerk and cursed, "I have repeatedly warned you not to smoke at work. Go and find out which idiot is sick again, and deduct his bonus this month!"

"Okay, Director Lu!"

The clerk immediately got up and left.

"A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the flour mill workers still lack safety awareness!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "I suggest that you not only strictly control smoking and the use of open flames in the production workshop, but also conduct a thorough and comprehensive safety inspection as soon as possible. You will definitely thank me!"

"Zhengjun, it's not that I don't believe you, but can you wait for a month?"

Lu Changyuan said with embarrassment: "The autumn harvest has just passed. This year's corn harvest is very good. We received a production plan from our superiors. We need to process a large amount of corn flour. All workers work in three shifts and the machines run non-stop. We must exceed the task. The production task is really tight, and it is difficult to stop work!"

"Haha, I've said this much, if you don't want to listen, then you'll be on your own!"

Good words could not persuade a damned ghost, so Lin Zhengjun got up and left, leaving Lu Changyuan with only a carefree and unrestrained back, hiding his achievements and fame.

"Director Lu, you must take Zhengjun's words to heart. He is very powerful. If you don't believe it, go ask He Jian from the criminal police team!" Bai Weiguo said with a smile.

"Old leader, let me think about it!" Lu Changyuan was very reluctant.

"Zhengjun, will something really happen to the flour mill?" After walking out of the flour mill, Bai Weiguo followed Lin Zhengjun and asked curiously.

Lin Zhengjun said solemnly: "Yes! And it will be a big deal!"

"What's the matter?" Bai Weiguo turned into a curious baby again.

"Now, I can't tell you!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

The flour mill had two safety incidents this year!

The first time, right in early November!

The warehouse's severely rusted overhead crane suddenly collapsed, and the beams and bags of flour weighing thousands of pounds fell, crushing the three porters below to death.

Because of this major safety accident, Lu Changyuan was given a disciplinary punishment of probation by the county.

But who would have thought that half a month later, at the end of November, another flour explosion occurred in the flour mill due to aging circuits.

Three workshops and warehouses turned into a sea of ​​fire!

More than a dozen workers were burned to charcoal!

The fire spread to residential areas and it took the fire brigade three hours to put it out, causing heavy losses!

As the person primarily responsible for production safety, Lu Changyuan was not only dismissed from his public office, but was also held legally responsible, sentenced to three years in prison, and is now behind bars.

When he was released, he didn't even have a pension. In order to make a living, he had to take off Kong Yiji's gown, go to the city to do hard labor on a tricycle, collect scrap and become a vagrant, and was exhausted like a dog!

It was at that time that Lin Zhengjun met Lu Changyuan.
