Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 363 Canton Fair

He came to see that the conversation was almost over, so he asked Ran Qiuye a question.

"Are you working now?"

"Ah? Not yet. I haven't decided what to do yet. What's wrong?"

Ran Qiuye asked curiously.

"Oh, I see. Well, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."

He Lai thought it would be better to give a reminder.

“It’s business related.”

"It's best not to choose to be a teacher. If your parents are also teachers, it's best to ask them to step down."

He Lai still said it out. After all, Ran Qiuye’s elementary school teacher was better. Remember, Ran Qiuye’s parents were middle school teachers, and they would be criticized severely at that time.

"What did you say? Um...can you tell me why?" Ran Qiuye said in surprise.

She had originally planned to teach in an elementary school in a few months, but she didn't expect He Lai to tell her not to be a teacher. He also knew that her parents were also teachers, which scared her.

"I'm not in a position to tell you the reason. Anyway, I have my own reasons. It's up to you whether you listen to me or not."

He Lai said awkwardly.

He felt extremely complicated inside. He knew that saying this would cause Ran Qiuye to misunderstand, but he couldn't care less.

Whatever choice Ran Qiuye makes in the end is her own business. Anyway, she has done her best.

"Okay, I'll consider it. Thank you, I'm leaving first." Ran Qiuye bowed and thanked him before leaving.

"Brother Lai, why don't you let Sister Ran be the teacher? I think being a teacher is great!"

Rain asked doubtfully.

"Oh, you called Sister Ran so soon. She was looking at others with a wary look just now!"

He Lai scratched Yu Shui's nose and smiled.

"Hate it. I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm going to look at my watch." Yu Shui pouted, turned around and ran towards the watch shop.

He Lai shook his head helplessly and followed.

Soon, the two of them bought the watches and came out.

Outside the state-owned store

"Brother Lai, where are we going now?" Yu Shui asked.

"Of course I'm going home! How beautiful it would be to hold so many things in my hands? Alas, there is not a single day of real rest during the four-day holiday. What a miserable life."

He Lai pretended to sigh and walked towards the parking lot, with Yu Shui following behind him with a smile.

After returning to the courtyard, He Lai put down his things and hid in his room, leaving Yu Shui to sort his things alone.

"Brother Lai, Brother Lai, it's time for dinner." Yu Shui came to the door of He Lai's room, knocked gently, and called softly.

"No, let Brother Lai sleep for a while." He Lai turned over, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and said in a daze.

"Brother Lai, if you don't get up, I will bring Wu'er here." Yu Shui threatened.

"No, please don't. This little girl is too much of a troublemaker. I'll get up now." Hearing this, He Lai immediately sat up from the bed, stretched, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "I'm really scared of you."

There was no way, half of He Lai's four-day vacation was ruined by Wu'er.

He Lai quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Wow, Sister Yushui, you're great. You made so many delicious dishes!" He Lai couldn't help but praise when he saw the dining table filled with three dishes and a soup.

"Come on, brother, I also made rice." Yu Shui smiled and brought a big bowl of steaming white rice.

"Well, not bad, not bad. Now I love eating rice." He Lai took the bowl, took a bite of the dish, and ate it with relish.

The two of them finished their meal quickly, and most of it went into He Lai's stomach.

Yu Shui was about to get up to wash the dishes when He Lai stopped her.

"I'll wash it, I'll wash it. You cooked, so of course I'll wash the dishes."

After saying that, He Lai took the bowl from Yu Shui's hand and went to the kitchen.

Yu Shui smiled and followed He Lai into the kitchen, and they started washing dishes together.

"You are competing with Brother Lai for washing the dishes!" He Lai said with amusement as he looked at Yu Shui who was rushing to wash the dishes.

"I like!"

"Then go ahead and wash it. I'll watch you wash it!"

"it is good!"

"What a great guy you are!"

……

With the end of National Day, He Lai lives the same life every day as if by copy and paste.

A week passed like this, and the factory leaders held an emergency meeting.

All the leaders of the factory participated, even the directors of several branch factories were there.

"Everyone, be quiet. The meeting is about to begin. Today's meeting is about one thing: the Canton Fair.

You may not be familiar with the Canton Fair. After all, our factory has never participated in it before.

Let me say a few words about the Canton Fair. It is located in Guangcheng, which is a bit far from us. It is my country's import and export commodities fair.

What this means is that we sell what we produce to foreigners, and of course we can also buy what they produce from foreigners.

This time, the leaders gave us a quota, because the grinding mill independently developed by our factory is very popular in China, so they let us take the grinding mill to the exhibition, hoping to gain the favor of foreign businessmen.

The Canton Fair first started in 57, and is held once in April and once in October. This time, it starts on October th, and there is more than a week to prepare.

The purpose of holding this meeting is to let everyone study the Canton Fair together, come up with a feasible plan, and then discuss who will be responsible for this Canton Fair.

Everyone can speak freely, don’t worry, and express your own opinions.”

After Director Yang finished speaking, he started drinking tea.

Soon everyone understood what he meant. Originally, the Canton Fair had no place for steel rolling mills. After all, steel rolling mills only produced accessories for others and did not have any good products. Now that there was an additional grinding mill, didn't this give the steel rolling mills an opportunity?

As the person in charge of the grinding machine workshop, Li Huaide naturally felt obliged to speak up.

"Secretary Feng, Director Yang, can I have a word?"

"Go ahead and speak freely!" Secretary Feng immediately waved his hand to signal Li Huaide.

Li Huaide said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll tell you, I know about the Canton Fair. After all, everyone knows that I often deal with those manufacturing factories outside, so I am good at this kind of thing.

I am also responsible for the production of the grinding machine workshop, so I have some understanding of this machine.

So, I would like to recommend myself and hope that I can lead the first Canton Fair.”

After saying that, several of Li Huaide's confidants immediately took the lead in mustering up their courage, and the others had no choice but to applaud as well.

Secretary Feng spoke before Director Yang could speak: "Well, since Comrade Li Huaide dares to take the lead, then I support him. Indeed, Li Huaide is very good at negotiating business, and everyone can see it. What do you think, Director Yang?"

Secretary Feng's sudden statement disrupted Director Yang's plan and made him swallow back what he was about to say.

Secretary Feng also turned around and began to support Li Huaide because Director Yang was increasingly looking down on him.

There was no way. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the secretary's power was far greater than that of the factory director. However, as the country needed to expand production, the leaders above believed that everything should be based on the factory director, and the secretary only needed to be responsible for party and government work. As a result, the secretary's status was downgraded a lot.

"I also think that Comrade Li Huaide is more suitable to be in charge of this Canton Fair."

Director Yang could only agree, after all, Li Huaide was indeed the most suitable candidate.

"Then let's vote by raising our hands! Please raise your hands if you agree that Comrade Li Huaide should be the person in charge of this Canton Fair!" Secretary Feng said as he raised his hand.

Soon, Secretary Feng's people and Li Huaide's people raised their hands, and Xiang Helai and others also raised their hands, and soon more than half of them raised their hands.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Director Yang could only raise his hand helplessly.

Soon the conference decided that Li Huaide would be in charge of this Canton Fair.

After that, the whole meeting started talking nonsense, which made He Lai feel drowsy.
