Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

After hearing Zhou Yuejin's question, Gu Qingyu did not hesitate and directly told him her plan.

"Director Zhou should know that I'm collaborating with Beijing City on a promotional experiment in Gujia Village. A few days ago, I went to Gujia Village to check on the progress of the experiment. The first batch of fresh mushrooms will be picked and sent to the county town for sale in the next day or two. Director Zhou can keep an eye out for this news."

Zhou Yuejin didn't know what this had to do with the solution Gu Qingyu wanted to talk about, so he asked in confusion, "I remember that it was me who mediated for you to get the green light from the Red Flag Commune for this experiment, but what does this have to do with the solution you mentioned?"

"Of course it does. After the initial experiments are successful, I plan to expand the promotion scale in Hongqi Commune first."

"Once mushrooms are cultivated on a large scale, the first problem we will face is the shortage of mushroom bags."

"Beijing City mainly focuses on experimental research and cannot provide us with large quantities of mushroom bags. We have to do it ourselves."

"Fortunately, this technology is mature. When the time comes, I can persuade them to send one or two researchers to provide us with technical guidance. We can definitely set up our own artificial mushroom cultivation plant in Ping'an County."

"It's a factory they run themselves, so isn't it easy for them to recruit one or two workers?" Having said that, Gu Qingyu looked at Zhou Yuejin in a cheerful tone and asked back.

"Moreover, once my dried mushrooms are sold, the current output will far from satisfy my sales, and I will inevitably expand the production scale again."

"My ultimate goal is to include the entire Hongqi Commune and even Ping'an County, and develop an industrial chain from mushroom bag cultivation, artificial breeding, mushroom sales, and mushroom-derived products."

"It's not hard to imagine how big the labor gap is and how many jobs it can create!"

Gu Qingyu paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yuejin solemnly and said, "So, Director Zhou, I need enough time and power to implement these plans!"

Zhou Yuejin pondered for a long time after hearing Gu Qingyu's words. His mood was very complicated. He had never expected that this young man, who seemed to be excluded by him from the moment he arrived, had such a big ambition.

In fact, he understood that whether he helped or not would not have much impact on the other party.

What leader's family doesn't have children who are old enough to go to the countryside? Or relatives and friends who can't find a job and can only work part-time?

With the recruitment quota hanging in front of him, Zhou Yuejin believed that other leaders would not make things difficult for Gu Qingyu.

After figuring it out, Zhou Yuejin nodded at Gu Qingyu and said, "Comrade Gu, I feel my health has recovered quite well. I don't think I need to apply for early retirement from the organization."

Gu Qingyu nodded in understanding and said, "Director Zhou, you are a soldier who came down from the battlefield. It's just a broken bone. It's not easy to handle."

Sure enough, after a sincere talk with Zhou Yuejin, the previously widely circulated news about Zhou Yuejin's early retirement was no longer heard, and the people in the Agricultural Bureau, who had been feeling uneasy during this period, also calmed down.

Although Zhou Yuejin expressed to the organization that he did not want to retire early, considering that he was injured in the line of duty after all and it was not good to hurt the old comrade's feelings, the organization temporarily agreed to Zhou Yuejin's request.

But Zhou Yuejin's physical condition is there, and the organization might reassign someone one day, so Gu Qingyu doesn't have much time left.

Since Gu Qingyu decided to fight for it, he naturally changed his previous casual working style and began to take the initiative to get involved in all matters big and small in the Agricultural Bureau.

As a result, the conflict between Gu Qingyu and Wei Zhongrong became increasingly acute, and from time to time they would quarrel during work meetings.

As an old man who has worked in the Agricultural Bureau for more than ten years, most people in the Agricultural Bureau are more optimistic about Wei Zhongrong than Gu Qingyu, a young man who has only been there for a few months.

Once a person has a bias, it will inevitably be brought out in his actions.

This happened at today's regular meeting. Old Zhang from the Agricultural Materials Department, who was one of the first people to defect to Wei Zhongrong, was the first to attack Gu Qingyu.

"Director Gu, by this time of year in previous years, agricultural materials for spring plowing would have already been purchased and stored. Why is there no movement this year? The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and spring plowing should begin a few days after the New Year!"

Gu Qingyu looked at Wei Zhongrong, whose lips curled up after listening to what Lao Zhang said, and knew that today's meeting would not be easy.

Gu Qingyu looked at Old Wang, the head of the purchasing department, who was sitting below her and was indifferent and not nervous at all, and knew that this guy was also on Wei Zhongrong's side.

However, Gu Qingyu still asked the other party to stand up and explain the situation. "Old Wang, what's going on? Explain it to your colleagues in the Agricultural Materials Department."

"Director Gu, this year's agricultural supplies have been purchased as planned, and we've already contacted all the manufacturers. They'll all be in stock before the tenth day of the Lunar New Year!"

Gu Qingyu saw that the other party was speaking with such confidence that it didn't sound fake. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. The other party wouldn't just jump out and cause trouble for no reason. He must have something to rely on.

"Oh, in that case, does Lao Zhou have any questions?"

Hearing this, Old Zhou immediately smiled and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Old Wang, I was too impatient!"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Lao Wang, "Lao Wang, when will the two tractors and the spare parts for this year's agricultural machinery arrive at the warehouse?"

"Well, this is not under the jurisdiction of our purchasing department! In previous years, Director Wei was responsible for this kind of purchase!" Old Wang looked at everyone present in surprise and said in an innocent tone.

Gu Qingyu looked at the two people who were acting serious and Wei Zhongrong who had been calm and composed since the beginning of the meeting and watched from the sidelines, thinking, here it comes, these guys have finally revealed their true intentions.

Sure enough, Wei Zhongrong picked up the teacup, drank a few sips nonchalantly, and then slowly said, "Look at my memory! I almost forgot about this."

Wei Zhongrong said to Gu Qing with an embarrassed look on his face, "This year, you will be in charge of logistics. I forgot to tell you about this. Fortunately, I mentioned it today, otherwise it would have almost delayed the purchase!"

"I'll send you the other party's contact information after the meeting. We still have time, so hurry up!"

Gu Qingyu looked at Wei Zhongrong's face, which was smiling like an old chrysanthemum, and really wanted to rush up and punch him twice.

In the planned economy era, any factory had to place orders and schedule them in advance; it was not possible to just place orders at will.

The New Year holiday is only three days away. If he exposes the matter now, it seems like this guy is deliberately setting a trap and waiting for Gu Qingyu to jump into it.

Gu Qingyu naturally saw Wei Zhongrong's gloating look, so he also started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"I see. It seems Director Wei is really old. He almost forgot such an important thing."

"I heard that eating more walnuts can nourish the brain. I happened to bring a lot from my hometown. I will send some to you later!"

As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, Wei Zhongrong's face froze. But before he could say anything, he heard a chuckle from the audience. He didn't know who had laughed so hard.
