King of Industry

  Chapter 359 You have a lot of face

  The next morning, Zhao Guoyang got up early to pack his things.

  Although the flight to SJ City is after ten o’clock, it’s still possible to get up later, but it’s better to arrive a little earlier.

   In less than 20 minutes, Zhao Guoyang was almost ready. He was just thinking about whether to call Director Huang when his mobile phone rang.

   Pick it up and listen to it. It's Minister Fang Xuesen calling.

   "Guoyang, are you almost up? Xiao Huang has already set off to pick you up, and you will be there in about a quarter of an hour." Minister Fang said with a smile.

  When we parted yesterday, Minister Fang told Zhao Guoyang that Xiao Huang from the first office should take him to the airport today.

  At this time, Minister Fang called again to care about this matter, and Zhao Guoyang quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Minister Fang, for your concern, it's just...it's too much trouble for Director Huang."

   "Hehe, what are you talking about? Guoyang, you are an important talent in our Mechanical and Electronic Industry Department, and you are a 'special researcher'. It is only natural to send a car to take you off. You, don't feel sorry."

Just as Zhao Guoyang was about to say something, Minister Fang followed up and explained: "By the way, Guoyang, over there in SJ City, I have already informed Xiaofeng and asked him to arrange someone to pick you up at the airport. Where, just say it."

   "Ah, that's right. The Hongda Machinery Factory you work in has started to get involved in the motorcycle industry, right? Our department is currently researching a topic about the development prospects of the domestic motorcycle market."

   "After your first motorcycle is officially put into mass production, I will send a working group down to discuss this topic with your factory. How about it, will it not affect the production in your factory?"

  Minister Fang's actions undoubtedly gave Zhao Guoyang a big face.

  In fact, the news that the National Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry is going to engage in a related project, once it gets out, the local motorcycle companies will have to scramble to win this honor?

   Now Minister Fang gave this opportunity to himself and Hongda Machinery Factory with a light sentence, and Zhao Guoyang had to bear this favor.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang quickly thanked the minister for his care. And make sure that you and Hongda Machinery Factory are ready to cooperate and welcome the arrival of the working group.

  Zhao Guoyang's crisp but polite response made Fang Xuesen very satisfied.

  The boss chatted with Zhao Guoyang about family matters before hanging up the phone.

   Zhao Guoyang hadn't put down the phone for a minute, and before he had time to digest some of the information Minister Fang just provided, the fixed phone in the room rang.

   After picking it up, it turned out that Director Huang had already arrived downstairs. Zhao Guoyang could only pack up his emotions, picked up his luggage and hurried downstairs.

  Zhao Guoyang hurried downstairs, Huang Chunsheng was already standing in the hall waiting.

  Seeing him coming, Director Huang hurriedly greeted him warmly while helping him with his luggage.

  Although Zhao Guoyang felt that something was wrong, he couldn't pull it away after being humbled a few times, so he could only let it go.

  After getting in the car and taking a seat, Huang Chunsheng handed a ticket and work permit from his pocket to Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, here are the ticket and your work certificate."

   "You take it. I have already greeted you at the airport. After you pass by, show them your work certificate, and you can check in in advance."

   Zhao Guoyang took the ticket, thanked Huang Chunsheng with a smile, and then chatted casually with him.

  …

   When I came to Beijing Airport again, the feeling was completely different from the previous two days.

  The last time I came here was in the early morning, and the surrounding scenery was not very clear. Today, Zhao Guoyang can see the panoramic view of the Beijing Airport in the 1990s, which made him feel familiar, and secretly sighed.

  Because I am not in a hurry today, the flight ticket booked by the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry for Zhao Guoyang is only business class.

  Even so, during the ticket check, the work certificate Zhao Guoyang was holding still surprised the airport staff a little.

   It’s no wonder that his work permit is clearly written in red letters on a white background—Comrade Zhao Guoyang, a “special researcher” of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, is on a business trip, please allow Tongxing.

  This kind of work certificate with the words "special researcher" is usually only eligible for important technical talents in national ministries or professors in universities.

  The staff at the airport are usually well-informed, and it is rare to see such a work certificate.

   When I saw them occasionally, they were all old and pedantic people.

  Seeing such a work certificate appearing in the hands of a young man like Zhao Guoyang at this time, everyone naturally felt extremely novel.

  Under the sideways glances of the airport staff, Zhao Guoyang went straight through the security check and boarded the plane first.

  Seeing that he boarded the plane alone first, a beautiful and generous flight attendant had already come to show him hospitality...

  …

  The flight journey of more than two hours is acceptable to Zhao Guoyang.

  The only thing that makes him uncomfortable is that most of the domestic flights in this era are small planes, and the noise is a little bit louder when sitting on it.

   After getting off the plane and picking up the luggage, Zhao Guoyang's mobile phone rang at the right time.

  Seeing the envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding passengers, Zhao Guoyang was somewhat helpless.

  He knew that his actions would definitely be considered as pretending or something, but he was really innocent, so he couldn't stop answering the phone, right?

   After pressing the "Confirm" button on the mobile phone, Liang Xiaofeng's familiar voice came over.

   "Hey, Guoyang, is it Guoyang?"

  Hearing that it was Director Liang, Zhao Guoyang nodded quickly and said, "It's me, you are Director Liang?"

   "Hehe, of course it's me." Liang Xiaofeng said with a smile.

   "I just heard from the radio that your plane has arrived for a while, why haven't you come out yet? I'm in the public phone booth here in the waiting hall!"

   "Ah, I'm sorry, Director Liang."

  Zhao Guoyang explained: "There were a lot of people when I got off the plane, so it took a while for me to come here."

   "Then Cheng, come here quickly, I'll wait outside the public phone booth." Liang Xiaofeng responded and hung up the phone.

   Entering the waiting hall, Zhao Guoyang saw Liang Xiaofeng pacing back and forth with his hands on his back.

  Liang Xiaofeng obviously saw him too, his eyes lit up, and he trotted over to greet him.

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang, Liang Xiaofeng hugged him enthusiastically by the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Guoyang, boy, you can do it. I went to the capital without saying a word. How about it? Is the capital fun?"

  Zhao Guoyang couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness when he heard the words: "Hey, Director Liang, I can't wait to go there that day, and I'll be back that day. How can I have time to play..."

   "Haha, it's true."

  Liang Xiaofeng laughed heartily and said, "Minister Fang told me when he called me that your trip here was on a whim and you had an important mission."

   "According to what he said, you must have completed this task excellently, so I won't ask any more questions. Let's go, brother, I will cleanse you up."

   "This...Director Liang, I want to go to the inspection and testing office to have a look first. As you know, I have two colleagues over there!" Zhao Guoyang said in a daze.

   "Hey, Lao Chen has arranged everything about the inspection and testing center properly, so you don't have to worry about it. As long as you get a satisfactory result in the end, isn't that all right?"

  Liang Xiaofeng paused for a moment and continued: "I'm going to cleanse you up today. I didn't act alone. I even called a few heavyweights from our SJ city."

   "Isn't your foreign trade company in Guoyang opening soon? These important people can help you a little bit. So, you must go for this meal."

   "That's it, thank you Director Liang for your trouble!" Zhao Guoyang's mind turned quickly, and he knew what Director Liang said.

   Needless to say, it must be that after Liang Xiaofeng heard that he had arrived at noon, he talked to some big bosses from the bureaus and committees he was familiar with in SJ City and asked them to have a little get-together.

  Speaking of which, today is the weekend, and these bigwigs should have time.

  However, Zhao Guoyang suddenly thought of something, and asked aloud: "By the way, Director Liang. The inspection team of Bangziguo Daewoo Group should not have left yet, right? Don't you need to accompany me today?"

  Liang Xiaofeng laughed when he heard the words: "Guoyang, the inspection of Daewoo Group ended yesterday. They are free to travel today, and they are going to have fun in our SJ city, take a look around, and then fly back to Seoul tomorrow morning."

  After hearing Liang Xiaofeng's explanation, Zhao Guoyang was relieved.

  Indeed, the visit of Bangziguo Daewoo Group, although the practical significance is very important, is vaguely related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

   But in the final analysis, this visit is only for the purpose of investigating a large enterprise, and it is not an official visit.

  I have been in China for three or four days, which is not short, and I really should go back.

   I just don’t know if the Daewoo Group has signed some basic agreements or memorandums with SJ City this time.

   Judging from the state of people from Bangziguo in Songqi Group, there should be some.

  Liang Xiaofeng didn't know what Zhao Guoyang was thinking. While leading the way, he told the participants of the dinner later one by one.

   "Guoyang, the place we will go to later is the Xile Palace Hotel, one of the most famous joint venture hotels in SJ City, and also the designated reception hotel of the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission."

   "Let's take advantage of Director Song today and go here to try something new."

   "Director Song?" Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, and asked with a little doubt.

   "That's right. I mentioned today's meal as a cleansing post for you. Song Mingsheng from the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, Lu Shunping from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, Zhou Jianli, Director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and others all expressed their willingness to come."

   "Speaking of which, Guoyang, you really have a lot of face. Haha!"
