Chapter 558

When the motorcade drove onto the Shangmeng Highway, Gu Shanmin looked at this wide and flat highway and nodded: "Is this the Shangmeng Highway that you opened to traffic this year?"

Su Xinghui said: "Yes, today is exactly two months since the opening ceremony."

Gu Shanmin said: "With such a highway, it is like a tiger with wings to fly."

Lu Zhenghong nodded: "Secretary Gu, your description is very appropriate."

Gu Shanmin said: "Little Su, my itinerary today is handed over to you. You say where to go, and we will go there."

Su Xinghui nodded: "I understand, Secretary Gu. In this way, last time at the calligraphy and painting exhibition, you said you wanted to see the bamboo forest in Meng Hu Ling and the little girl who weaves bamboo, so let's go to Ye Zhugou first."

Gu Shanmin smiled and nodded: "Alright."

Gu Shanmin's secretary Qi Lei is a young man in his thirties. He is a secretary newly selected by Gu Shanmin this year. Because he has not been Gu Shanmin's secretary for a long time, and Gu Shanmin has strict requirements, he is still very low-key, always cautious in words and deeds, and does more and says less. In fact, he is a very smart person.

He saw Gu Shanmin's attitude towards Su Xinghui and was very surprised. He had never seen Gu Shanmin have such an attitude towards a young man in his twenties. He silently remembered the name Su Xinghui. This is a person he must pay attention to.

After the Shangmeng Highway was built, it only takes about half an hour from Shangjun County to Meng Hu Ling. Gu Shanmin closed his eyes and leaned on the seat to take a nap. This is also a skill he has practiced for many years. Many of their itineraries are spent in the car, and he can fall asleep in the car. If he doesn't have this skill, it is difficult for him to always maintain abundant energy in front of others.

Lu Zhenghong and Qi Lei both knew this habit of Gu Shanmin. Seeing Gu Shanmin leaning on the seat and closing his eyes, they immediately stopped talking. Lu Zhenghong made a gesture to Su Xinghui, telling him not to speak, and Qi Lei also made a gesture to the driver, and the driver slowed down the speed slightly, making the car drive more smoothly.

Fortunately, the Shangmeng Highway was officially opened to traffic, and the road surface was very flat. If it was the original road, Gu Shanmin would not be able to fall asleep.

Gu Shanmin's ability to seize every opportunity to sleep is really remarkable. He almost made a slight snoring sound just one minute after closing his eyes.

Half an hour later, the motorcade drove past Lingxiang and Luling and entered the territory of Meng Hu Ling. A jeep appeared in front, and Dong Jianshu and Li Maofa stood by the car. Lu Zhenghong signaled the driver to stop the car.

Lu Zhenghong was about to call Gu Shanmin, but as soon as the car stopped, Gu Shanmin woke up. He moved his neck and hands and said: "Arrived?"

Su Xinghui said: "Now we have entered the territory of Meng Hu Ling. In front are the township secretary Dong Jianshu and township head Li Maofa. They are welcoming you."

Although they were only welcoming a small township secretary and township head, Gu Shanmin still got out of the car and shook hands with them one by one, which made Dong Jianshu and Li Maofa excited.

After Gu Shanmin shook hands with the two, he said: "Comrade Jianshu, Comrade Maofa, our first stop today is Ye Zhugou, please lead the way in front."

Dong and Li nodded repeatedly, then got into the car and drove to Ye Zhugou.

Now, the road to Ye Zhugou has also been rebuilt. This was paid for by the Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory to facilitate the entry and exit of their trucks. Although it cannot be compared with the secondary highway and can only be considered a rural road, it is much better than the original dirt road. The motorcade drove very smoothly to Ye Zhugou Village.

Ye Zhugou Village naturally received the notice, but the village committee did not organize the common people to welcome them along the way, because the township government had long warned them that the leaders who came this time did not like this set, and only a few village committee cadres welcomed them at the entrance of the village.

The village committee cadres welcomed the motorcade and let the motorcade stop on the open space at the entrance of the village committee. Gu Shanmin got out of the car and shook hands with several cadres cordially. After shaking hands, he asked Su Xinghui: "Where shall we see first?"

Su Xinghui said: "Then let's go to the bamboo weaving factory first."

Gu Shanmin nodded and agreed. Everyone got out of the car and followed Su Xinghui and Gu Shanmin to the bamboo weaving factory.

It is not yet eight o'clock, but people have come to work in the bamboo weaving factory one after another. The bamboo weaving factory was originally scheduled to work at eight o'clock, but the bamboo weaving factory is piece-rate wages, and who doesn't want to earn more money, so many people came before work time.

As the deputy factory director, Xia Zhu also came very early. She came at 7:30 every day. At this time, she was doing some preparatory work in the workshop, and suddenly saw a large group of people walking in from outside the workshop, and Su Xinghui was walking in the front.

Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, then greeted her and called out: "Brother Xinghui!"

Su Xinghui laughed: "Xia Zhu, Provincial Party Secretary Gu has come to our Meng Hu Ling for inspection, and he wants to see your bamboo weaving factory."

Xia Zhu quickly said to Gu Shanmin: "Hello Secretary Gu, I am the deputy director of the Ye Zhugou Village Bamboo Weaving Factory, named Xia Zhu!"

Gu Shanmin looked at Xia Zhu with a smile and said to Su Xinghui: "Little Su, is this the little girl who weaves bamboo that you painted in that painting?"

Su Xinghui nodded: "Yes, it's her."

Gu Shanmin extended his right hand to Xia Zhu: "Hello, Xia Zhu, although this is our first meeting, I have seen your appearance in Su Xinghui's painting long ago."

Xia Zhu extended both hands, grasped Gu Shanmin's right hand, and just smiled, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Shanmin said: "Xia Zhu, I heard from Su Xinghui that your bamboo weaving factory's bamboo weaving crafts have gone abroad, signed supply contracts with many foreign businessmen, and can create one or two million output value a year!"

Xia Zhu said: "This is all because the party's policy is good, and there is also the help of Township Head Su. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have today."

Gu Shanmin turned to look at Su Xinghui and smiled: "He is the township head, this is what he should do."

Su Xinghui quickly nodded: "Yes, this is what I should do. Xia Zhu, take Secretary Gu and the others to your product showroom to see, and tell Secretary Gu about your signing contracts with foreign businessmen."

Xia Zhu turned and made a gesture: "Secretary Gu, please come with me."

Xia Zhu took Gu Shanmin to their product showroom. There are many products of their bamboo weaving factory displayed in the product showroom, including bamboo weaving paintings, various figures, animals, furnishings, etc., dazzling and wonderful.

Gu Shanmin watched with great interest and asked Xia Zhu some questions from time to time. Xia Zhu answered them one by one. She also told Gu Shanmin the story of participating in the Canton Fair, performing bamboo weaving skills to foreign businessmen, and signing supply contracts with foreign businessmen on the spot.

Gu Shanmin said: "Then can you perform bamboo weaving on the spot?"

Xia Zhu said generously: "Yes."

Xia Zhu came out of the showroom, came to the workshop, and performed her bamboo weaving stunt on an operating table on the spot for everyone. While doing preparatory work, she asked Gu Shanmin: "Secretary Gu, what is your zodiac sign?"

Gu Shanmin probably understood her meaning and smiled: "I am a tiger."

Xia Zhu nodded and began to weave bamboo. Once she got on the operating table, she forgot everything and devoted herself to bamboo weaving. I saw her ten fingers flying, just like playing a wonderful piece of music. Just looking at this is already a pleasant enjoyment.
