Chapter 1406: Building a Fruit and Vegetable Planting Base

Xiong Zhaoming's body shook violently, not daring to dodge as the teacup landed on him.

Fortunately, it was winter, and this guy was dressed very thickly, so the boiling tea water fell on him without scalding him.

Jian Jian Zhengxue was truly angry. Was Xiong Zhaoming's brain full of shit?

Such an easy matter, why would people give you such great benefits? How could you not use your brain?

Xiong Zhaoming's face was pale, his body shaking like chaff.

It wasn't that he couldn't think of the problems here, but that he chose benefits over principles.

Jian Jian Zhengxue shouted sternly: "Get out to the province immediately and go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to explain your problems clearly."

Xiong Zhaoming walked out with a pale face. One, he was truly afraid; two,

The office had only undergone a simple renovation and wasn't soundproof; Feng Huiqi, who was guarding outside, heard everything when Jian Jian Zhengxue flew into a rage.

The office door opened, and Xiong Zhaoming came out with a pale face; as soon as he saw Feng Huiqi, he asked.

"Where is the restroom?"

Feng Huiqi was stunned. He'd just been scolded, so why was he looking for the restroom the moment he came out? What was wrong with him?

"Over there," Feng Huiqi pointed.

Xiong Zhaoming squeezed his legs together and walked quickly toward the restroom.

Feng Huiqi blinked, then gave a light chuckle and raised a hand to knock on the door.

Jian Jian Zhengxue opened the door and came out, a smile on his face.

"Where are they? Take me over."

"Understood!" Feng Huiqi led the way: "The Chairman and the other leaders are in the sixth-floor conference room."

In the conference room, Chen He, Director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, held Zhou Andong's hand, looking very affectionate.

Clearly, he knew Jian Qiu and was aware of the relationship between Zhou Andong and Jian Jian Zhengxue.

"I have to say, Chairman Zhou, the way you've handled things hasn't been very fair."

This left Zhou Andong a bit confused: "Director Chen, if there is anything I haven't done properly, please point it out, and I will certainly improve."

Chen He waved a hand: "I'm talking about the urban complex. You're building them everywhere in the south, but what about Fengjing? Liaoning Province is your home, Jiangzhou is your root, and Fengjing is your soul. You can't abandon either one."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Even if you didn't mention this, I would have discussed it with you."

Chen He laughed: "With that word from you, I can rest easy."

Just then, the conference room door was knocked, and Feng Huiqi pushed it open and stepped aside.

Jian Jian Zhengxue walked in, saying with a chuckle: "How was the rest? It's getting late, let's go take a look around."

"Alright!"

Everyone stood up, and Wu Wu Huilin, the President, was responsible for the introductions.

Jian Jian Zhengxue didn't mention Xiong Zhaoming, Zhou Andong didn't ask, and no one else did either.

It was as if Xiong Zhaoming had never appeared, but everyone knew in their hearts that that guy would never appear before them again.

After touring each workshop, they ate lunch in the distillery canteen, following the standard of four dishes and one soup.

Braised pork knuckle, smoked lamb chops, stir-fried green beans with meat, smashed cucumbers, and seafood soup.

Four people to a table, with over a dozen tables; the group didn't have much of a reaction to the pork knuckle and lamb chops.

However, the stir-fried green beans with meat and the cold cucumber dish surprised them.

"Chairman Zhou, in the middle of winter like this, where did you buy these green beans and cucumbers?"

A woman of about thirty-seven or thirty-eight, not exactly beautiful but very elegant, picked up a piece of smashed cucumber, put it in her mouth, and crunched away, looking completely satisfied.

"These cucumbers are very fresh and even have a crisp, clean fragrance."

Zhou Andong said: "These are vegetables grown in off-season greenhouses. This year is the experimental stage, but next year we will plant them on a large scale. By winter, you'll be able to see them in the Fengjing market."

"Really?" someone asked with pleasant surprise.

In this era, in the Northeast during winter, getting fresh vegetables was almost impossible.

If they could eat fresh vegetables next winter, that would be truly blissful.

"Pretty much!" Zhou Andong said: "Next year we plan to build 20,000 mu of off-season vegetable greenhouses, 50,000 mu the year after, and complete 100,000 mu within three years. I want to create an off-season fruit and vegetable planting base, but this will require the strong support of all you leaders."

Jian Jian Zhengxue knew about the off-season vegetable greenhouses being built in Tanghezi, but he hadn't expected the plan to create an entire off-season fruit and vegetable planting base.

"This is a good thing; the province will certainly provide strong support."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "With that word from the Secretary, I have the confidence to complete the construction of one million mu of off-season vegetable greenhouses in the province within five years."

"Good!"

Upon hearing that one million mu of vegetable greenhouses would be completed within five years, Jian Jian Zhengxue was also a bit excited.

"When I get back, I will have the Department of Agriculture establish an off-season vegetable project team to cooperate with your work."

In Jian Jian Zhengxue's view, neither the Jiangzhou Distillery nor the Xurishi Beverage Company was as important as these vegetable greenhouses.

Because in his heart, farmers were the ones who suffered the most, and only by making farmers wealthy could the country truly be wealthy.

And what Zhou Andong had done this time had truly, truly touched his heart.

"We'll go to the electronics factory tomorrow; this afternoon I want to go to Tanghezi to see these off-season vegetable greenhouses of yours."

Song Kaiming asked in a low voice: "What about Panhe City?"

Jian Jian Zhengxue waved a hand: "Notify Panhe to postpone it by one day."

"Understood!" Song Kaiming agreed.

Zhou Andong checked the time: "Let's eat, so we can leave when we're done."

……………………

Tanghezi, Lantian Animal Husbandry Company!

Zhang Zhang Xuan had been spinning around busily for some time; she was going to Hong Kong after the New Year, so she had to have everything arranged here at Lantian before she left.

She was in the office discussing matters with Zhang Chaoming when the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, this is Lantian Animal Husbandry, I am Zhang Zhang Xuan."

Zhou Andong's voice came through the receiver: "Zhang Zhang Xuan, this afternoon, Provincial Party Secretary Jian is coming to the company for an inspection and research; prepare yourself."

"Ah?" Zhang Zhang Xuan said: "Why didn't you notify me sooner? This is too sudden."

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "This was a last-minute decision. Have Old Zhou in the canteen roast two sheep, slaughter a cow, and stew some steaks."

Zhang Zhang Xuan asked: "When will you arrive?"

Zhou Andong said: "We're leaving now, probably in about an hour."

"Understood!" Zhang Zhang Xuan hung up the phone: "Chaoming, go notify everyone, tidy up the courtyard, and you personally go to the experimental greenhouse to bring Professor Jiang Gengping back."

"Understood!" Zhang Chaoming turned and left.

At 1:20 PM, Zhou Andong's car drove into the Lantian Company courtyard, with that Castor following behind.

Zhang Zhang Xuan, Zhang Chaoming, and all the company's leadership, including Professor Jiang Gengping and several others, walked quickly to greet them.

Zhou Andong got out of the car and first greeted his teacher, Jiang Gengping.

After Jian Jian Zhengxue got out of the car, he personally introduced him to his teacher.

"Teacher, this is Provincial Party Secretary Jian." Then he introduced him to Jian Jian Zhengxue: "Secretary Jian, this is Professor Jiang Gengping from the Provincial Agricultural University, who is also my teacher, responsible for greenhouse fruit tree cultivation."

Jian Jian Zhengxue shook hands with Jiang Gengping with great respect: "Professor Jiang, you've worked hard."

Jiang Gengping said with a smile: "Being here is my job; it's not hard work at all."
