Chapter 294 First Arrival in Chengdu
Sichuan Province, Chengdu, Qingyang District, Provincial Party Committee Guesthouse.
"Professor Fang, your coming here is really a great thing for us.
Just like a long drought finally ends with a downpour, the factory's future decisions will be left to you!"
In the factory guesthouse, the accompanying leaders from the province, city, factory and other levels all sat upright.
Deputy Secretary Cheng, who was sitting in the host seat, stood up, raised his glass, and spoke to Fang Xiang.
“No, no, the country has high hopes for our Factory 132.
That's why I was arranged to come here and do what I can for our factory.
When it comes to making decisions, leaders still need to discuss it together.
I can’t run this household by myself.”
Now Fang Xiang has begun to become more comfortable even in such occasions.
In response to Deputy Secretary Cheng's toast, Fang Xiang also raised his glass.
"Professor Fang, you are too polite.
The country is so confident in handing over Factory 132 to you, which shows that it is very confident in you.
Just go for it as you think it is!
If the leader doesn't listen, step down!
The workers didn't listen and retired on the spot!
Professor Fang, your attitude is the attitude of our provincial party committee!
Anyone who fails to cooperate with our work is going against the provincial party committee!
It's just going against the country!
Such a person, no matter what position or post he is in, will not be tolerated by Factory 132.
Even the provincial party committee will never tolerate it!
Professor Fang, the provincial party committee’s attitude today is all in the wine.
I did it, you can do whatever you want!"
Unexpectedly, facing Fang Xiang's humble attitude, Deputy Secretary Cheng did not dare to take it seriously at all.
Fang Xiang couldn't tell which big Buddha was standing behind him.
However, it was the first time that Fang Xiang's appointment document was issued directly from the General Office of Beihai.
Moreover, the red seals of the Organization Department and the Third Ministry of Machine Building were stamped in the middle.
Where has Deputy Secretary Cheng, who has been in the political career for nearly 40 years, ever seen such personnel appointments?
Even if you use your knees to think, you will know that the turmoil and vacillation of Factory 132 over the past decade or so have made people extremely dissatisfied.
Otherwise, they would not have appointed a new deputy secretary and chief engineer in such an unprecedented way without revealing any information.
Although Fang Xiang was only a deputy secretary, there was no specific mention of his rank.
But everyone present today silently glanced at the first secretary of Factory 132, who was sitting at the last seat at the door with a smile on his face.
From now on, he, as the first secretary, will probably have to step back.
As Deputy Secretary Cheng finished his words, he drank the wine in the small glass in one gulp.
After drinking, Deputy Secretary Cheng showed the clean bottom of the cup to prove his innocence.
“I didn’t expect the provincial party committee to give such great support.
I won’t say much about this glass of wine.”
Fang wanted to see that not only was Deputy Secretary Cheng's attitude so clear, but he also drank very decisively.
Knowing this visit to Factory 132, with these words in mind, the subsequent work almost directly changed from regional mode to simple mode.
He immediately tilted his head back and drank up the Moutai in the glass.
"Professor Fang has a good alcohol tolerance!
Come on, everyone, let’s all pay our tribute to Professor Fang.
On behalf of our hospitable people of Sichuan Province, all the employees of Factory 132.
Drink this glass of wine, and from now on, fully support Professor Fang's work!"
Seeing Fang Xiang finish the wine in one gulp, Deputy Secretary Cheng showed a happy look on his face.
Since we can't afford to offend this big boss with a strong backing, we'll just have to cooperate with him.
The principle that a friend's death is not the same as my own is a deep samadhi.
He immediately filled up himself and Fang Xiang’s glasses.
Then he raised his glass again, signaling everyone present to raise their glasses.
When the others saw that things had gotten to this point, how could they not understand?
If you really can't understand, then you don't deserve to sit in this room.
Immediately, the room became noisy.
It seemed as if he would not stop until Fang Xiang was drunk.
However, no one expected that Fang Xiang’s drinking capacity was just like his background.
Unfathomable.
Almost every one of the eight guests present had a bottle of Moutai.
Some are blushing, some are peeing.
Those who couldn't run away already leaned back in their chairs and started snoring.
And Fang Xiang just had a little sweat on his forehead and his face was a little red.
"Professor Fang, I think everyone has had enough to drink, how about we stop here today?
Let's go to the small room and talk?"
Eight people took turns to drink Fang Xiang, but none of them got him drunk.
Deputy Secretary Cheng’s first plan failed.
But it’s not a big problem, there will always be a second, third, or even fourth solution.
"Let's go. We've just been drinking for half a day. It's time to have some tea."
Fang Xiang looked at Deputy Secretary Cheng with a smile.
Although it has been several hours since I got off the plane and landed until now.
The welcoming work was done very well.
But he is not a child anymore, and he understands that we cannot just look at the surface of things.
Especially these people, who appear to be your brothers on the surface, but they trip you up and stab you in the back, and this has never changed from ancient times to the present.
Therefore, one cannot judge one’s true attitude by what one says.
It depends on what they will do when they really want to take action later.
"Professor Fang, this is really a huge amount!
Cheng has never seen a person like you in his life.
I really admire you, I really admire you!"
We arrived at a small reception room in the guesthouse and the waiter served us hot tea.
Deputy Secretary Cheng then spoke slowly.
"No, no, I'm just an ordinary researcher.
It's just that I was lucky and slowly got to this point.
In fact, there are many people who are better than me, but they just lack opportunities. "
After hearing Deputy Secretary Cheng's words which carried another layer of meaning, Fang Xiang could tell that he was trying to inquire about him in a subtle way.
After thinking about it, Fang decided to take a detour.
“Hey~
There are so many capable people, and there are also many people with opportunities.
But there are very few people who have the ability and can seize opportunities.
People like you, Professor Fang, are both capable and recognized by the country.
These are the talents we need most.
I just don’t know if Professor Fang’s subsequent work requires any support from the provincial party committee.”
He was originally curious about Fang Xiang's identity and background, but he saw that Fang Xiang was not like many other simple-minded people of his age.
After a few sips of the soup, he started bragging about his origins or background.
I decided not to beat around the bush and started asking Fang Xiang about his plans.
“Of course, I did whatever the country asked me to do.
I am not very familiar with Factory 132.
Of course, I still need to familiarize myself with the situation in the factory before I talk about it."
Fang Xiang picked up the teacup and blew on the white flowers floating on it.
I smelled it and it was actually the fragrance of jasmine. Do people in Sichuan also drink scented tea?
I took a sip and found that the taste was indeed the taste of jasmine.
It's just that the flavor is a little different from the jasmine tea he often drinks in the capital.
“That’s it, that’s it.
When we first go to a new place, we also have to do research there.
Be familiar with the conditions, customs and practices of different places.
It seems that Professor Fang also plans to do so?
Well, when you are doing research, feel free to call me if needed.
Cheng has no choice but to do it! "
After hearing what Fang Xiang said, Deputy Secretary Cheng's initial judgment became more solid.
Fang Xiang is indeed not an ordinary person.
He was very tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.
"Of course, Secretary Cheng and I hit it off right away.
We should get closer to each other in the future."
Unexpectedly, before Deputy Secretary Cheng had even said a few words, his underworld tone was revealed.
Fang wanted to put down the teacup and deliberately smiled and said something to bring him closer.
Although the words sounded pleasant, both of them laughed like old foxes.
No one took these words seriously.
