Chapter 95: Family Has a Hedong Lion

The meeting lasted until half past ten at night.

Section Chief Cui Hengnian walked with steady steps toward the family quarters; as he stepped onto the stairs, he heard his own door creak open.

Cui Hengnian was a bit curious; it's so late, his wife should already be asleep!

"Master of the house, you're back." The silhouette of his wife Yang Guizhi appeared at the doorway.

Cui Hengnian became even more curious; his wife's behavior today was abnormal.

"Come, come in quickly."

When Cui Hengnian entered, he was shocked to discover that someone was still sitting on the living-room sofa!

"Brother-in-law!"

Cui Hengnian's heart skipped a beat, but he still wore a smile: "Jianming, when did you come from your hometown?"

"Just today."

"Eh, it's not easy to come to the city; stay a while longer and let your sister show you around."

"Brother-in-law, I've come to work as a laborer."

"What?"

Cui Hengnian stared blankly: "Which factory's worker?"

"It's the Red Flag Boiler Factory." Yang Guizhi closed the door and chuckled: "Our Ha Gong Da isn't taking over the Red Flag Boiler Factory, is it? This definitely requires arranging some people to go there; Jianming is the youngest son, and the family has been worried about his job. Perfect, our Ha Gong Da now has a school-run factory; master of the house, you must arrange Jianming's job properly!"

Cui Hengnian took a deep breath: "Guizhi, the Red Flag Boiler Factory already has plenty of workers; it's sufficient, so there shouldn't be new hires. When the need arises later, I'll arrange for Jianming to join."

Having said that, he walked toward the bedroom: "I'm tired; you should also rest early."

"Wait!"

Yang Guizhi came over, enthusiastically pulled him back, and even went so far as to rub his forehead.

"We don't need a worker; could other positions work?"

"Other positions?"

"Exactly, I've heard that Ha Gong Da wants to take charge of finance and personnel; just assign Jianming to one of those two posts, we don't mind."

"That's impossible!"

"Why?"

"No reason, I'm tired and want to sleep."

Yang Guizhi took a few quick steps, blocked his path: "Cui Hengnian, tell me clearly, why can't it be done?"

"Guizhi, don't make a fuss!"

"Cui Hengnian, I'm telling you, these two positions must go to Jianming; 'wealth doesn't flow to outsiders'—if we don't prioritize our own family, are you bending your elbow outward?"

"No! This person is crucial; this factory is also a top priority for Ha Gong Da, needing to be chosen from experienced veteran comrades; this isn't something I can decide alone!"

"You're in charge of personnel; if your word doesn't count, whose does? I'm telling you, Cui Hengnian, if you don't agree today, you're not coming back through this door tonight!"

"If I don't come in, fine—I'll just sleep on the ground..."

"Cui Hengnian, you've rebelled! Now let me tell you who's the boss in this house!" Yang Guizhi said, wandering around, then the next moment rushed into the kitchen and pulled out a kitchen knife.

Clang!

The door slammed shut, and Cui Hengnian had already run into the hallway!

"Cui Hengnian, come back to me! I'm telling you, you can outrun the monk but not the temple! If you've got the guts, never come home again!"

Helpless, Cui Hengnian thought: "There's a tigress at home!"

Her several brothers before were all given jobs by her, she treated them to food and drink, not knowing how much effort she put in or how much she suffered; none of them turned out well!

Now this youngest brother also looks to her; his job definitely needs arranging, but can he go to the Red Flag Boiler Factory? This is an important factory crucial to Ha Gong Da's future development!

He surely never intended to be a worker; he's aiming to become an official—a young man who hasn't even finished junior high still wants to be an official? Besides, I heard he likes drinking and gambling in the village; absolutely not, under no circumstances could I agree, even if I had to sleep in the office for a year!

With mixed feelings, Cui Hengnian returned to the main building; just as he opened his office door, footsteps sounded in the hallway, and then… he saw a familiar face.

"President Liu, you…"

"I thought of some work matters and came back to handle them. What are you doing?"

"Me too."

The two each entered their own offices, opened the folding beds, laid out the bedding, and then lay down.

Troublesome matters aren't over yet! No wonder Qin Miao didn't take it on—this guy is really sly!

The next day, Qin Miao slept until waking naturally, washed his face and brushed his teeth, ate the breakfast Chu Miaomiao had left on the desk, then walked with a steady pace, thinking about what to do next.

The school-run factory already exists; next is to remodel the production line, produce related parts, modify the Truck Cannon, wait for the Benz heavy truck to arrive, install it, and then delivery can be made.

The construction period is six months, and the contract includes force majeure clauses, so there shouldn't be other problems; if nothing unexpected happens, we can only finish early, not delay. Once the school-run factory is arranged, we must rush the Red Flag-2 missile modification project; once it's done, we can notify Hassen to come pick up the goods.

"San Shui!"

Behind him came the voice of Director Tao.

"Huh? Director Tao, what a coincidence."

"What coincidence? This is clearly him waiting on purpose, isn't it?"

"San Shui, the one-third share you proposed yesterday—isn't that too much?"

"Director Tao, once our Aerospace Department sells the Red Flag-2 missile, you'll see whether that one-third share is too much or too little."

Director Tao instantly felt excited: "Not too much, not too much! When do you think we can sell this missile?"

"As soon as the modification is done, I'll go take orders."

"Good, from now on this will be the Aerospace Department's key project; let's seize the time and strive to get it done as soon as possible!"

"Cui Hengnian, get out of here, you old woman!"

This voice, full of vigor, left Qin Miao momentarily stunned.

"Director Tao, what did I hear? Cui Hengnian? Is he the Section Chief of Personnel?"

"Yeah, this tigress... Old Cui really..." Director Tao shook his head helplessly.

Outside Cui He'nian's office, a burly middle-aged woman was yelling at the inside: "Cui He'nian, are you opening the door or not? If you don't open it, I'll kick the door down right now!"

"If you don't open it and you kick it, that's damaging public property! The Security Section will arrest you!"

"Hmph, if Old Du dares to arrest me, I'll first give him a black eye!"

In the distance, Du Yongfei's body trembled; he hurriedly tightened his office door. If the door breaks, it breaks—we can just fix it later. This woman is not someone to provoke. Old Cui, you'd better look out for yourself.

"Brother-in-law, you have to believe me—I went to the Red Flag Boiler Factory, I'll definitely become a good cadre... ouch!"

Before Yang Jianming could finish his words, he got slapped by his older sister.

These words can be said at home, but not outside! Now that someone has come to the door, it's still a family matter—but if we get the Red Flag Boiler Factory involved, it's no longer private; if it gets out, countless people will gossip. This brother, bringing him over is just to bolster courage, not to cause trouble.

Hearing this, Qin Miao secretly sighed, feeling that this Section Chief Cui still could uphold his principles; since that's the case, I ought to help him out.

Qin Miao turned to look at the person beside him and said, "Director Tao, are the military's demands excessive? We're just a school-run factory, yet they demand militarized management, and if anything goes wrong, they want to handle it under military law?"
