Chapter 105: 105 Gathering

"Xinyu, do you like this?" She Xiaoyun asked.

"Yeah," Jiang Xinyu immediately put on a bracelet around her wrist, "How about this? Does it look good?"

"These are usually worn by monks."

"Haha, I know, but I like these round, smooth wooden beads. Don’t you think they look nice?"

"It looks pretty good on you. You’re fairer than me, and your wrists are more slender, so it suits you. If I wear it, it doesn’t have the same vibe."

"It looks good on you too! Secretary Hao, thanks! I’ll take one."

Unexpectedly, Lv Beiguang also immediately put on a pear wood bracelet around his wrist.

"Beiguang, are you planning to become a monk? How many people would be heartbroken?" Liu Yuwei immediately teased him.

"It’d be even better if I became a monk."

"Beiguang, you can’t do that. You have a wonderful life ahead of you to enjoy, and you actually want to become a monk?" Wang Fangtian said regretfully.

"Yeah, with your looks, you could play through life." Cao Xuelian also joined in.

With that, the two girls stopped talking, and no one wanted the remaining three bracelets on the table.

Hao Shichao looked at them, "Secretary Jiang, no one wants these leftover ones. They’re all yours."

"Great, thank you, Secretary Hao. They’re all mine.

Secretary Hao, does the furniture factory have any good materials like sandalwood?"

"No, do you even know about sandalwood?"

"I’ve heard about it. If you ever come across any, let me know. I want to make two chests."

"Haha, Xinyu, are you already preparing for your dowry?"

"Sister She, I’m not even thinking that far ahead. I just like it."

Lv Beiguang suddenly spoke, "Secretary Jiang, I know someone who has sandalwood. If you want, I can take you to ask about it tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you, Secretary Lv, that’s great. I’m really lucky."

"Then Secretary Jiang should thank me more. You can’t make furniture just with wood."

"Secretary Hao, you seem like a warm-hearted person. If I manage to buy it, I’ll be counting on you." Jiang Xinyu said with a smile.

"Haha, the little girl is flattering me. Fine, leave it to me. My grandfather and dad are old carpenters."

Qian Jun noticed that Jiang Xinyu had a pretty good rapport among the secretaries; the little girl is indeed likable.

"Qian Jun, your Director Wei has a good eye, hiring you in the beginning, and now he found this little girl." Shen Shinan said with a smile.

Qian Jun just laughed, "Yes, our Director Wei has a unique vision. Back then, some doubted the choice of this middle school graduate little girl. Now it seems, she’s like an uncut jade, needing polishing."

"Did you guys drink my wine and have any idea how to get grain? I really want to go and get grain myself; you don’t know our brewery has already halted production." Sun Baosheng took a big gulp of wine and sighed.

"If you’re capable, go and get grain; I’ll lend you money." Dong Weimin also sighed.

"Do you guys think I can handle going myself?"

"Old Sun, you should apply to the authorities for this." Liang Youfa said helplessly; it seems none of them have that authority.

"I know, I had Beiguang draft an application, but I haven’t received a response yet."

Qian Jun set down his wine glass, "Director Sun. Where do you plan to get it? Neighboring countries. How about going to Russia?"

Jiang Xinyu listened to the leaders’ conversation while multi-tasking and thought that Sun Baosheng’s plan might be feasible after hearing it.

"Director Sun, if you’re going to Russia, I’ll go with you."

"Does Mr. Qian think it’s feasible?"

"Yes, I think it’s doable. There should be a lot of grain over there. We just have to consider the transportation issue."

"Secretary Jiang, you and my Beiguang should investigate and write a plan." Sun Baosheng suddenly called out to Jiang Xinyu.

"Director Sun, I don’t know what I should be investigating."

"You two go to the railway station and verify if railway transport is possible, how much it costs, and if you can go to Russia."

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Qian Jun, waiting for his confirmation.

"Alright, let Secretary Jiang accompany you to investigate. I speak Russian, so I can go with you."

"Mr. Qian can speak Russian? That’s perfect. How about we go to the city together on Monday?"

"Okay, let’s go on Monday."

"You two, as I said earlier, if you’re capable of going, I’ll provide the funding. Don’t forget me." Shen Shinan immediately chimed in.

"Old Shen, didn’t you say you had no money last time?"

"Now I have it; County Magistrate Tao helped recover it.

I’ll fund it, up to 300,000. Don’t forget me."

"What does a steel plant need so much grain for? Our grain depot needs it the most."

"Old Sun, Little Qian, you two handle this thing. If it succeeds, we’ll pool money together."

The secretaries felt a bit motivated after hearing the leaders’ decision, not for anything else but so their friends and family could have enough to eat.

"Alright, I’ll go to the city with Director Sun on Monday."

"The two of you should see County Magistrate Tao first. He’s a brilliant and shrewd person, and if he gets involved, the chances increase."

"Then let’s see County Magistrate Tao first on Monday."

Jiang Xinyu also wanted to see Russia; she also knew some Russian, not fluent but she could understand. It was an elective course in college, and she did well in it.

Kaiyun probably won’t let her go. What a pity.

This meal left everyone satisfied, with Shen Shinan footing the bill. Out of all the county’s enterprises, only the steel plant was unaffected and still had money.

"Beiguang, go find Secretary Jiang tomorrow. The two of you prepare a report to use on Monday." Sun Baosheng instructed his secretary while riding his bike.

"Yes, Director."

The four of them parted ways halfway, with Qian Jun and Jiang Xinyu riding side by side. "Secretary Jiang, do you think this is feasible?"

"Mr. Qian, I don’t know about other things, but I know that if this works, it will be your achievement."

"Haha, yes, I currently need achievements to secure my position.

Tomorrow, you go clarify things at the railway bureau."

"No problem. Mr. Qian, I’m home now. Be careful on the way. Should I get you a flashlight?" Jiang Xinyu feared he might trip after drinking so much.

"No need, I’ll be fine. You go on in."

Qian Jun watched Jiang Xinyu enter her home before he rode away.

He’s gambling here; if it were Wei Kaiyun, he definitely wouldn’t agree.

Qian Jun shook his head and chuckled at himself.

When Jiang Xinyu got home, she quickly boiled water for a bath after sweating so much from cycling.

She drank a bag of milk and lay in bed thinking about Wei Kaiyun; he should have arrived in the capital by now, right? She couldn’t get in touch and was really worried.

At this moment, Wei Kaiyun was drinking with Old Yang.

"Xiao Wei, are you sure about your decision?"

"Yes, just like that. Since I can’t leave, I’ll work hard to climb up. And you?"

"Me? This time going to the Northeast, we’ll have to part ways as old partners."

"Indeed, no one can compare to our level of understanding."

"Yeah, why don’t you apply to be transferred to the Northeast, and we can continue to work together openly and covertly?"
