Chapter 726 Si Xi's Promotion
The person who called was Qin Zhengguo's old classmate Sun Sixi. Sun Sixi was very happy on the phone and told Qin Zhengguo that their factory would start production next week and hoped that Qin Zhengguo would have time to go back and attend the official production ceremony of their factory.
After all, Qin Zhengguo helped a lot in the factory's production and transformation. Without Qin Zhengguo's help, things would not have gone so smoothly.
The factory leaders said that Boss Qin was a friend and benefactor of their factory. The factory will officially start production next week. It might not matter if others don't come, but Qin Zhengguo must be invited. The factory leaders were very clear about the relationship between Sun Sixi and Qin Zhengguo, so they gave this difficult task to him.
"Old Qin, you have to help me with this. I have promised my boss that I would be so embarrassed if I don't invite you here."
"You always love to cause trouble for me. What a coincidence. If you had started production a few days earlier, I would still be in the United States and you wouldn't be able to reach me with this phone call."
"Hahaha, this is what they mean: it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Sun Sixi laughed on the other end of the phone .
"Okay, I agree to this. I will fly to Fengtian tomorrow, stay there for one night and arrive the next day."
"Thank you, you've worked hard, brother. By the way, I'll pick you up. We haven't seen each other for a while. Let's meet in Fengtian first and have a good drink. It'll be my personal thanks to you."
Qin Zhengguo's heart was slightly moved. Although Sun Sixi's words sounded fine, Qin Zhengguo felt from his words that Sun Sixi might have other intentions in picking him up. However, he and Sun Sixi were old classmates and old friends. Since he arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it, and Qin Zhengguo didn't care about it.
The next morning, Qin Zhengguo boarded a flight to Fengtian. He arrived at Fengtian Airport at noon, and as soon as he got out of the airport, he saw Sun Sixi waiting there.
"Lao Qin! Over here! Over here!"
Seeing Qin Zhengguo coming out with the luggage, Sun Sixi hurriedly raised his hand to greet him. When Qin Zhengguo came out of the gate, he came up to him and gave him a warm hug, patting his back hard.
"Come on, come on, two grown men are making such a mushy scene. You are not a virgin, why are you trying to do this to me?"
"Bah! You are a dog with no ivory in your mouth. Do you understand this revolutionary friendship? You have only been in Hong Kong for a few years. Have you forgotten your old traditions because you have been corrupted by capitalism?"
"Oh my, you're going to work on the job as soon as you come back? What? Are you planning to give me a lesson? Don't forget, I'm a compatriot from Hong Kong and Macau now." Qin Zhengguo deliberately raised his head and made a haughty expression, and then he burst out laughing.
The two grown men laughed out loud at the same time, and passers-by couldn't help but look at them sideways, wondering if these two guys were mentally ill.
"Are you planning on staying at home today or...?"
Sun Sixi helped carry the luggage and asked, Qin Zhengguo bought a house in Fengtian for the family. Originally, this house was intended for his parents to live in, but after he came back last time, the negotiation went well and his second sister and parents agreed to move to Yangcheng , so this house has been left unoccupied for the time being.
My parents and my second sister's family lived well in Yangcheng, and Qin Zhengguo had visited them before coming to Fengtian. Now my second sister and her husband had their own business arranged by Song Yuanchao, and their lives were much better than before.
The child also went to school in Yangcheng, and the old couple gradually got used to staying in Yangcheng. Before Qin Zhengguo went to the United States, his third sister and her family also came to Yangcheng, and Qin Zhengguo also helped arrange it.
Now, only the eldest brother, eldest sister and youngest child are still in their hometown, but the date for the eldest sister to go to Guangzhou has been set, which will be in October at the earliest and November at the latest. As for the eldest brother's family, the eldest nephew worked hard and was admitted to Guangzhou University. Qin Zhengguo has planned to let the child enroll first and then go through the procedures to transfer to Hong Kong to attend university. He will pay for all the expenses of studying abroad, and there will be no problem with admission to the University of Hong Kong.
Now Shenghua and Hong Kong University have in-depth cooperation, and the relationship with the school is very good. Not to mention that his nephew's grades are very good, even if his grades do not meet the standards for studying abroad, it doesn't matter. With the close relationship between Qin Zhengguo and Hong Kong University, it is not impossible to make an exception to donate some money and say hello.
In addition to Sun Sixi's invitation, Qin Zhengguo also wanted to discuss this matter with his elder brother and take his nephew to Yangcheng.
"I booked a hotel. The houses here are not well maintained and cannot be lived in. Anyway, a hotel is more convenient for just one night."
"Okay, let's go to the hotel first. My car is over there. Let's go!" Sun Sixi took Qin Zhengguo towards the parking lot. When he saw that he was driving a Lada, he was slightly stunned.
"Is this your factory director's car? Why did you bring it here?"
"Haha, you are our factory's VIP now. We can't drive our old 212 to receive VIPs, right? This is to show the factory's respect for you, so I'm temporarily driving this car to pick you up."
Sun Sixi said with a smile, opened the car door, patted the car body and said: "Boss Qin, please get in the car..."
Qin Zhengguo didn't hesitate to open the passenger door and got in. He said that he had only ridden in imported luxury cars since he came to Hong Kong, and he seldom rode in such cars. Riding in one today reminded him of the time when he first drove a Shanghai brand car in Shanghai.
The two drove straight to the foreign-related hotel booked by Qin Zhengguo, completed the check-in procedures, and went upstairs to the room.
This hotel has a nice environment and better guest rooms than Andong. After all, Fengtian is the provincial capital, and Andong was once the provincial capital, and now it is just a prefecture-level city. There is still a gap in status between the two.
After putting away their luggage, Qin Zhengguo and Sun Sixi went to eat. They did not eat in the hotel. Fengtian was not unfamiliar to them, especially the latter, who often went to Fengtian for work.
"Lao Qin, let me toast you first."
It was an ordinary small restaurant, the place was found by Sun Sixi. Although this restaurant looked inconspicuous, Sun Sixi told Qin Zhengguo that the pig-killing dishes here were very authentic.
After pouring two glasses of wine and picking up one of them, Sun Sixi held the glass with both hands and said with great care: "Our factory's successful transformation this time is thanks to you. We are old classmates and old friends. We have known each other since childhood. I won't say any more formalities. I sincerely thank you for this glass of wine. Everything is in the wine!"
After saying that, Sun Sixi raised his glass and drank it all, then filled himself up again and continued, "I'll toast you with the second glass. There's something I didn't say before. I'm going to upgrade!"
"It's born? Boy or girl?" Qin Zhengguo looked surprised.
Sun Sixi was stunned by his answer, and blinked for a long time before he came back to his senses. Then he saw a dirty and cunning look on Qin Zhengguo's face, and he immediately realized that this guy was deliberately joking with him.
"You bastard, are you asking for a beating? And a boy or a girl? Do you believe that I gave birth to Nezha?"
"Hahaha, I was just teasing you. Sorry, sorry, come on, I apologize to you. Let's drink this glass together." Qin Zhengguo laughed and raised the wine in front of him. He took the initiative to clink glasses with Sun Sixi, and also drank it all in one gulp, and showed the bottom of the glass to him.
Sun Sixi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He finished his drink, put down his glass, and heard Qin Zhengguo ask, "Congratulations. By the way, what level did you get promoted to? I remember you were the director of the factory office before?"
"Deputy Factory Director." Sun Sixi's face was filled with joy that could not be concealed. He had a solid foundation in the unit. His grandfather and father were both former factory leaders. After he came back from the army, he relied on his family connections to get a job in this unit. Over the years, he relied on his own efforts to climb to the position of director of the factory office.
Although Sun Sixi's grandfather and father have retired a long time ago, their network of contacts is still there. For example, the current factory director is his grandfather's apprentice, and he takes good care of him.
This time, the person that Deputy Factory Director Sun Sixi wants to thank the most is Qin Zhengguo. If it weren't for Qin Zhengguo's help in negotiating with foreign countries and obtaining the refrigerator production line at a much lower price and under lower conditions than before, their factory's production transformation and reform would not have been completed so smoothly.
It was for this reason that the factory rewarded people according to their merits, and Sun Sixi, as the main person in charge, won the first prize and was promoted.
Director Sun has now become Deputy Factory Director Sun, an appointment he made just half a month ago. Although he is ranked last as a deputy factory director, it is not easy for him to become a deputy director of a well-known factory at his age. It is no exaggeration to describe him as being very proud and elated.
Although he was very proud, Sun Sixi knew very well how he got the position of deputy factory director. Without Qin Zhengguo's help, he would never have been able to take this position.
What's more, Qin Zhengguo is now a big boss in Hong Kong, and the scale and assets of the enterprises he controls are simply incomparable to their factory. In his hometown, Sun Sixi may be considered a top figure, but outside, what is he, the deputy factory director?
"You finally got what you wanted, kid. Your grandfather and father must be very happy about your promotion to deputy factory director, right?"
"Haha, the old man made an exception that day and poured me a glass of wine. You know him. It's not easy to drink the wine he poured." Sun Sixi said with a smile.
Qin Zhengguo was no stranger to the old man in Sun Sixi's family. It was just as he said, the old man had devoted his whole life to revolution and was very dignified in his daily life. Although Qin Zhengguo and Sun Sixi had always played together since childhood, he seldom went to their house.
Because he was afraid of seeing Grandpa Sun, he always felt that there was a murderous aura in Grandpa Sun and his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. In front of the old man, Qin Zhengguo, who usually laughed and joked, didn't dare to even breathe, and was as obedient as a rabbit.
Such an old man, let alone praising the younger generation, would make them happy without saying a few words of criticism on weekdays. But this time he actually took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Sun Sixi, what does this mean? Qin Zhengguo knew it very well, no wonder Sun Sixi was so happy.
"It's not easy. By the way, how is the old man's health now? Is he okay? I remember he is eighty this year... eighty-three or eighty-four?"
"He's 84. He celebrated his birthday last month." Sun Sixi said, "The old man is in good health. He can eat, drink and sleep well. He usually does boxing in the park and goes fishing with a few old friends. His life is much more leisurely than ours."
"That's good. I remember your father is in good health too. I'll find time to visit them when I go back this time. I was busy at home the last time I came back and didn't have time to go."
"Okay! How about you stay at my house tomorrow? Your parents have already gone to Yangcheng, and it's not convenient for your brother and sister-in-law to stay at home. Living in a hotel is good, but it's not as comfortable as home. Besides, my dad was still talking about you a while ago."
"Okay! I'll stay at your house. Remember to serve good wine and food. I won't go without these." Qin Zhengguo said with a smile.
