Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Who would want to stay here, let alone for three years? So when he was working in the afternoon, he had already begun to quietly observe and memorize the storage location of food, and calculate how much food he needed to bring to ensure that he arrived at the port.

Due to years of luxury and fatigue caused by **, he could only carry a limited amount of things and was unable to do heavy work.

Even when preparing food for survival, Bang Geng carefully estimates the maximum weight he can bear.

The journey to the port doesn’t take too long, and the sufficient food can satisfy his occasional hunger and thirst on the road.

So most of the food they brought with them were snacks such as meat that were easy to store and chew, which could satisfy their cravings and kill the loneliness of the journey.

At this time, Banggeng was walking alone along the path that people had walked during the day, singing a little song proudly. He was very happy thinking about the comfortable time in the future.

But he had lived in the city since he was a child and could not imagine the challenges of living in the wild, nor could he foresee the hardships in the future.

At this moment, Bang Geng's heart was filled with beautiful fantasies about the future: making a fortune in ** and being respected by others. As his figure gradually disappeared into the night, the path also welcomed silence.

Just as Banggeng was immersed in the fantasy of his upcoming wealthy life and escaped from the camp, Su Chen received a message from the deputy of the military leader.

The neatly dressed adjutant had a similarly stern look to his superior. After the car stopped, he raised his head to look at the giant factory that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The adjutant understood very well that the steel mill was generating considerable foreign exchange earnings for the country and supporting their political plans.

In fact, senior military officials have mentioned the importance of this factory more than once in their conversations.

Although the steel mill publicly claimed to produce civilian goods, the adjutant did not believe it.

How can a real civilian factory produce **? Obviously, this is a military factory in disguise.

Despite this, the adjutant put these thoughts aside, greeted his colleagues stationed at the security booth at the factory gate, explained his purpose, and completed the relevant visit registration.

After completing the formalities, the security colleague led the adjutant to Su Chen. The adjutant saluted and said:

"Director Su, the flight of the diplomatic envoy from Babayan will arrive soon." Hearing this, Su Chen nodded in confirmation.

This was in line with Su Chen's prediction. Babayan was unable to withstand the offensive of his third brother and turned to his own country for help.

This time, the military leaders did not personally inform Su Chen, because as the person in charge of receiving the delegation, he needed to go to the airport to greet the guests.

Currently busy arranging the itinerary, he had to entrust his adjutant to convey the message. Suchen knew about this and prepared to make some arrangements inside the factory in advance so that he could be more decent when welcoming Babayan's delegation.

The military leaders informed Suchen of this because they had anticipated Babayan's visit to the Red Flag Steel Mill. Before Suchen could say that he would be busy with other work, the adjutant continued:

"Mr. Su, I hope you can go to the airport with me."

This request made Su Chen feel a little helpless. Why was he asked to accompany him every time?

Recalling the farewell to Colonel Ka not long ago, this time we have to welcome Babayan's arrival. Does Su Chen's itinerary have to be intertwined with diplomatic events?

Seeing the aide's firm attitude, Su Chen realized that it was futile to argue, so he had to go to the airport with him. This was also due to the special instructions of the military leader, who asked the aide to ensure that Su Chen could be present.

Previously, Suchen had successfully served as Colonel Ka's receptionist and left a good impression on the military, so they intended to let him participate in more important affairs to promote his personal development and that of the factory.

Although Su Chen already has a lot of orders, when it comes to profit, more is never too much.

At the same time, letting Suchen participate in the reception can also help open up new overseas customer channels. Moreover, this Babayan mission is particularly special and is a partner that our country must help.

However, considering international perceptions, all cooperation will be conducted through private exchanges in the name of ** enterprises to avoid any signs of direct military transactions that may cause controversy.

In any case, it is impossible to prevent a country from coming to buy legal civilian products.

However, Su Chen did not intend to get involved in this matter. He already had enough orders to make money, but who would think that there was too much wealth? Su Chen noticed the thoughts of the military chief and did not forcefully reject the other party's adjutant.

He got into the car with the military chief's adjutant and headed for the airport. Before leaving, Su Chen stopped Assistant Zhang.

Assistant Zhang asked, "Director, is there anything you need to tell me?" Su Chen replied, "I will bring someone to visit later. Please ask the workers to continue working as normal and don't worry too much." Upon hearing this, Assistant Zhang's eyes flashed with surprise.

Assistant Zhang didn't expect that someone else would come to visit the factory. He speculated that this must mean that the factory director had a very solid background. Su Chen was completely unaware of this series of psychological activities.

Seeing that Assistant Zhang had made all the arrangements, he left with his adjutant.

On the way to the airport, we found that the surrounding areas had been under heightened security at some point.

Knowing that Babai Yang's Foreign Minister was about to pass through this road, all non-related personnel were prohibited from entering to ensure safety.

As soon as Su Chen got off the car and arrived at the airport, he was immediately found by the military chief who had been waiting for a long time. After receiving the information about Ambassador Babaiyang's visit, the chief immediately remembered the task he had assigned to Su Chen earlier.

Not sure whether the boy had really listened to him, the chief grabbed Su Chen.

As his relationship with Su Chen became closer, his actions towards Su Chen became bolder.

The soldiers nearby were extremely surprised when they saw this scene.

Although they had heard of Su Chen's name a long time ago, this was the first time they saw him in person. Seeing the leader treat Su Chen so intimately, the soldiers began to speculate about Su Chen's true identity.

Could it be that Su Chen is actually the illegitimate son of a certain senior leader and therefore receives special care?

However, such thoughts can only remain in people's hearts, and no one dares to publicly express such speculation about the leader's family.

The military leader, who didn't care about all this at all, pulled Su Chen towards the vehicle on the apron and said with a smile on his face:

"Su Chen, you've come at the right time. Come with me to welcome Babai Yang's visiting ambassador." Su Chen spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Boss, why do you want to drag me into this matter? I'm just the director of a factory that produces civilian products."

In fact, Su Chen did not want to participate in such a high-level meeting. He would rather stay in the factory waiting for his superiors to visit and deal with the orders at hand.

After all, dealing with outsiders is not his strong point.

Even though he mastered several languages ​​and could exchange a few words with the Babaiyang messenger, he believed that it would be more appropriate to return to the factory and do more practical work than to attend the reception.

However, the army chief still held him tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Su Chen often presents himself as a private entrepreneur, and the leaders have long been accustomed to this.

The military top brass are well aware of the truth behind the "Red Star Steel Mill" and hope to provide military support to Babai Yang through an upright and reliable figure like Suchen as an intermediary.

Obviously, the state cannot take direct action.

So we take this indirect way to provide help.

Naturally, the candidate was locked on Su Chen - no one was more suitable than him.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a nationally renowned private enterprise. Whether the outside world believes it or not, its positioning as a "private enterprise" is an ironclad fact.

After Su Chen struggled in vain, he had no choice but to follow the military leader and board the airport bus. Not long after, the bus arrived at the landing site close to Babayang's special plane.

Here they were waiting for the arrival of the diplomatic ambassador.

The ambassador's special plane was already in our airspace, rapidly approaching the designated military airport.

Su Chen and the military leaders' wait did not last long.

The passenger plane slowly circled in the sky and sent a landing request signal to the ground. After receiving the signal, the staff on the ground immediately responded with a landing signal. With the completion of a series of coordination, the huge plane glided smoothly and silently on the runway like an eagle returning to its nest peacefully.

Given the secret nature of this visit, it was obviously much more low-key compared to previous visits by Colonel Ka.

Despite this, the reception was still of a very high standard. In addition to the military leaders who were responsible for the reception, the ceremonial band was also on standby, adding a formal and solemn atmosphere.

Everyone walked towards the front of the plane which had landed safely and stopped. When the cabin door opened, the ambassador of Baba Sheep Country poked his head out and immediately spotted a man in military uniform with a distinctive temperament - the core character of this welcome.

The ambassador's face immediately lit up with a warm smile, and he strode off the boarding ladder. He took the initiative to extend his hand and gave the traditional kiss on the cheek greeting to the military leader standing in the front, and said, "Thank you very much for your warm welcome."

"The main purpose of this visit is to hope that your country can lend a helping hand and provide support." The ambassador then explained the purpose of his mission.

The military leader also showed a warm attitude, hugged the envoy's shoulders and said, "Welcome, it is a great honor to welcome the envoy of your country."

Although he was eager to solve the problem, the ambassador remained calm on the surface. He smiled at the people around him and said, "It's really cold here, but luckily I'm well prepared and have brought enough clothes." This was not only because it was summer all year round in Babayang, but also because he had specially adjusted his clothes to cope with the fact that Beijing was in winter at that time.

Facing the warmly dressed foreign guests, the Chinese military leader did not forget to say a few words: "It just happened to be the traditional Chinese New Year. If you don't mind, I can take you to the streets to experience it."

As a series of necessary courtesy talks gradually came to an end, Baba Yang's diplomatic ambassador could not wait to reveal the real purpose of this trip:
