Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

On January 1, Hengyuan Electronics Company was completely renewed.

Not only was the entire factory cleaned, but some of the walls were also repainted white.

At the gate, a banner was hung high up, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Mr. Zhao, you shouldn't be coming, right? It's already past ten o'clock, you should have come a long time ago. I have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with over there, so I don't have the time to wait."

Chen Weiye looked into the distance, feeling somewhat resentful.

In fact, Zhao Wenhao is the same, but he is the boss of the company and there are some things he cannot say in front of his subordinates.

Normally, at this point in time, there should be some sort of notification whether or not he would come. However, apart from a phone call from Secretary Qian the day before yesterday, there has been no notification so far.

"Wait another half an hour. If they still don't come, then go about your own business." Zhao Wenhao gave a time node.

Just as Chen Weiye was still muttering, Wang Changzheng suddenly rushed out of the office building and ran towards Zhao Wenhao in a panic.

"Boss, Secretary Qian just called and said Mayor Zheng and his team will be arriving soon. They'll be accompanied by Secretary Shen, County Magistrate Wang, County Magistrate Li, and the heads of various departments."

"Damn." Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but curse inwardly.

If I hadn't made the relevant preparations beforehand, it would definitely be too late to arrange the reception now.

Secretary Qian certainly doesn't have that much courage. Li Hongyi must be behind this matter.

He simply hoped that when Mayor Zheng, Secretary Shen, County Magistrate Wang and others arrived, they would see Zhao Wenhao in a miserable state.

No matter what kind of person Mayor Zheng is, proper respect must be expressed.

This is just like giving gifts. The leader may not be able to remember who gave him gifts, but he will definitely remember those who did not.

"Director Wang, have the workers come over and form two lines. We'll line up along the road to welcome them."

Zhao Wenhao really put a lot of effort into this welcoming event.

Some workers who were supposed to be resting were pulled over to temporarily take on the welcoming task.

Wang Changzheng had even thought of organizing a lion dance performance, but Zhao Wenhao felt that it would seem too deliberate, so he did not agree.

"I'm coming!"

Dozens of workers had just lined up when they heard Wang Changzheng pointing at the convoy in the distance and shouting.

Zhao Wenhao quickly walked to the front and gave instructions to Wang Changzheng beside him.

Soon, the convoy stopped at the gate, and then people got out of most of the cars and automatically walked quickly towards one of the black cars.

Among them are County Party Secretary Shen Bo, County Mayor Wang Xinyong, Deputy County Mayor Li Hongyi and others.

Soon, two people got out of the black car. One of them was younger, probably a secretary. The other, with thick black hair, glasses, and a jacket, was Zheng Yifan, the Deputy Secretary of the Dingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Mayor.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

Under the command of Wang Changzheng, the worker representatives standing in two rows began to shout loudly in unison.

Zheng Yifan chuckled and did not come over immediately. Instead, he looked up at the gate of Hengyuan Electronics, and then walked towards Zhao Wenhao accompanied by Shen Bo and Wang Xinyong.

"Welcome all leaders to visit us!"

Zhao Wenhao took the initiative to take two steps forward and faced Zheng Yifan and the other three.

I have never dealt with Shen Bo, but I have had two contacts with Wang Xinyong. Although the relationship is not deep, we know each other.

Therefore, Wang Xinyong took the initiative to take on the task of introduction.

"Mr. Zhao, we are flattered by such a grand ceremony!" Zheng Yifan smiled, and did not seem to have any airs of a leader at all.

Zhao Wenhao quickly and politely greeted them: "It is our honor to invite all the leaders to visit our company. We at Hengyuan Electronics also hope that all the leaders can provide more guidance for our development."

"Let's go, take us to visit your company." Zheng Yifan took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Zhao Wenhao.

Zhao Wenhao hurriedly led the way.

"County Magistrate Li, why didn't Hengyuan arrange people to connect in advance?" Wang Xinyong finally discovered some problems and asked Li Hongyi behind him.

According to normal practice, leaders usually make advance arrangements before visiting a unit.

Then a person will be arranged to come and liaise with the inspected unit to provide guidance on related reception matters.

After all, some leaders have different taboos that outsiders may not be aware of. If a conflict occurs on the spot, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

To give the simplest example, the leader is inspecting, and suddenly someone rushes out from the team and says he wants to complain. Wouldn't that ruin the leader's mood?

Li Hongyi was the deputy county chief in charge of economic affairs, and this matter was his responsibility. Therefore, Wang Xinyong took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and asked about it.

"County Magistrate Wang, I'm wondering about this too. We've already made the arrangements. It must be that the people below aren't paying attention. I'll criticize them harshly later."

Li Hongyi pretended to know nothing and was very angry.

Wang Xinyong didn't say much, as this was not the time to discuss this matter specifically.

Led by Zhao Wenhao, the group visited several workshops, canteens, dormitories and office buildings of the company.

Especially in the water heater production workshop, Zheng Yifan showed great interest and asked questions about many aspects one by one.

It was not until nearly half past eleven that the tour was finally completed.

Normally, such an inspection would basically be over at this point, and the leaders would go back for lunch.

But Zheng Yifan didn't follow the usual path. He directly pulled Zhao Wenhao aside and asked, "Boss Zhao, I wonder if we can have a simple meal in your cafeteria today? No need to prepare anything else, just join the workers and I'll listen to their inner thoughts."

Zhao Wenhao didn't care. The food in their company cafeteria was pretty good and could certainly meet their needs.

Since Zhao Wenhao himself also eats in the cafeteria every day, the people in the cafeteria naturally dare not be careless.

But he thinks so, but others don't think so.

Shen Bo and Wang Xinyong hurried forward and said, "Mayor Zheng, the county guesthouse has been arranged. How about we go back now? If you feel you still have something to say here, you can ask Mr. Zhao to come with us."

"No need, this place is fine. Look, there is even stir-fried pork today. The food is really good." Zheng Yifan pointed to the big basin in the cafeteria and smiled happily.

Zhao Wenhao smiled innocently, "The chefs in the cafeteria are all from our village, and some are even my elders. They know I like stir-fried pork, so they often cook a portion for me."

"Hahahaha... Looks like we're getting some good luck from Mr. Zhao today."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, Zheng Yifan sat down directly and directed everyone to take their seats quickly.

Zhao Wenhao asked Wang Changzheng to quickly prepare the dishes.
