October 3rd, Saturday, the day before the Double Ninth Festival.

That night was the time Wu Yurong and Lin Fang agreed to meet.

Baosteel Family Area, near Baolin No. 1 Village, Mingzhu Hotel, this was the meeting place for Wu Yurong.

Lin Fang thought it was some big hotel, but when he drove to the place, he was immediately speechless. This was actually a small restaurant, not even as good as the Qinhuai restaurant last time.

Anyway, Qinhuai's house looks shabby on the outside, but it's pretty good on the inside, and it's not small in scale.

But this time, the Pearl Hotel, which bears the name of a hotel, is only a palm-sized place, with a total area of ​​no more than thirty square meters. To put it bluntly, it is better than a roadside stall. It has a fixed location, and it is in a house.

inner.

Lin Fang finally figured out that Wu Yurong was a bit smart, but he was also extremely stingy.

Fortunately, he didn't care too much about this, otherwise he would have turned around and left.

As soon as he got off the car, Wu Yurong was already standing in front of him. Apparently he saw Lin Fang's car and ran directly over.

There are not many cars these days, and even fewer that can be driven around by private individuals.

In this place where 99% of the people are ordinary Baosteel workers and their families, a car coming here is really eye-catching.

"Mr. Lin, are you here?"

Wu Yurong's great advantage is that he is very thick-skinned.

No matter how low-end the place he chooses to eat, he can face it calmly without any guilt.

He was like this at the moment. He was very happy to meet Lin Fang and walked to the small restaurant without feeling any embarrassment at all.

Lin Fang suddenly admired him a little, at least he himself couldn't be so calm.

"Director Wu, it should be straightened now, right?"

Lin Fang asked.

Since the last time they met, although he has called the other party several times, he has never asked about this. Now he only asks casually when they meet.

Wu Yurong smiled and said: "Not yet, it looks like it will have to wait until the end of the year.

The old factory director seems to want to get through this year."

Lin Fang smiled and nodded: "Then you have no objection?"

Wu Yurong smiled bitterly: "What can I do if I have an opinion? Is there nothing I can do? I can't let him fall ill right away!"

"Hey, your secretary is pretty good. Although I haven't seen him in person, but her voice sounds like she looks good, and her abilities are obviously very good. Where did you find her?"

Wu Yurong suddenly asked.

"secretary?"

Lin Fang was stunned. When did he have a secretary?

And is there any necessary connection between this person's voice and his appearance? How could he not know this after living two lifetimes?

However, he immediately realized that the person who contacted Wu Yurong on the phone these few times was Chen Yan, and her voice was really nice. No wonder he said that.

It's just that Lin Fang never asked Chen Yan in what capacity he contacted the other party.

At this moment, it seems that Chen Yan should be claiming to be her own secretary.

I don’t know why Wu Yurong never suspected that since he was a secretary, why did he never use his office phone to call him?

Although I don’t know how Chen Yan did it, it is obvious that Chen Yan is very good at dealing with people.

"Haha, it's okay!"

Lin Fang responded vaguely.

As expected, Wu Yurong ordered the dishes in advance as usual. Not long after Lin Fang sat down, a fat proprietress in her forties brought the dishes and placed them on the table.

The two began to eat food and drink beer. Libo beer is the most common local brand in the Shanghai market.

However, this is not a domestic brand, but a joint venture brand, the main brand of Shanghai Asia Pacific Beer and Beverage Co., Ltd.

In this era, drinking beer is considered a fashion. When drinking beer, Wu Yurong's face was obviously excited.

Lin Fang had a strange feeling. Maybe Wu Yurong invited him to eat at a small restaurant twice. In fact, it was not only because he felt bad about spending money, but more importantly, he liked the atmosphere of this kind of small restaurant.

So Lin Fang asked: "Director Wu, do you like this kind of small restaurant very much?"

Wu Yurong smiled and nodded: "Yes!

I was already poor when I was a child. At that time, not only did everyone need money to eat out, they also needed food stamps.

Although there were no small restaurants at that time, and we had to go to state-owned canteens to eat out, I just envied those who could go to restaurants.

Later, when I got a job, I was finally able to spend my own money to go out to restaurants.

Later, as the country liberalized its policies, there were more and more small restaurants, and it became more convenient to eat out.

But I don’t like going to big hotels. They cost a lot of money and are quite restrictive. It’s not as comfortable as a small restaurant like this!”

Lin Fang smiled, this person is quite special.

"By the way, what do you want to talk about when you invite me out this time? Let's stop hiding it and just be honest!"

Hearing what Lin Fang said, Wu Yurong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's good!"

But Lin Fang felt it. In fact, Wu Yurong didn't think it was that good. This guy probably didn't want to hand over the boss directly.

Wu Yurong paused and said, "Mr. Lin, I want to ask you the truth. I hope you can tell me the truth!"

Lin Fang nodded: "You ask!"

Wu Yurong stared at Lin Fang and said, "It's the same thing as last time. If I want you to contract those two workshops, are you willing to do it?"

Lin Fang laughed immediately, then shook his head: "No!"

"So determined, why?"

Wu Yurong was obviously a little surprised, Lin Fang answered too simply.

Lin Fang smiled: "There are so many reasons.

You know very well what the situation is like in the two workshops you mentioned last time. They are not just two workshops, but they are accompanied by a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people and debts.

Can I give you more money to fill the hole?"

Lin Fang was not polite and said it directly.

It is true that he is unwilling to contract those two workshops, but the reason why he is willing to go out to eat is not without purpose.

His purpose is to purchase equipment for those two workshops!

After purchasing the equipment, he only needs to find a suitable place to install it and produce it, and he does not need to be taken advantage of to pay off other people's debts!

In an instant, the food in Wu Yurong's bowl was no longer fragrant, and his chopsticks paused in the air for three seconds.

He then smiled and said: "Mr. Lin is still unwilling to tell the truth to me.

If you really didn’t have this intention, you wouldn’t agree to come over tonight!”

Obviously, he still had some expectations for Lin Fang.

Lin Fang smiled: "No really, I just wanted to come over and see an old friend.

It seems that you are now completely determined to get rid of those two workshops and a big burden?"

Wu Yurong chuckled: "Of course I have, I hope to cooperate with Mr. Lin, but it's a pity that Mr. Lin is unwilling!"

Lin Fang shook his head: "I paid for cigarettes, but there are no cigarettes, but you insist on asking me to buy an extra pair of shoes, and they are old ones, of course I don't want to!

There’s no need for that, right?”

"Then what do you want?"

Wu Yurong looked more serious this time, staring at Lin Fang and asking.

Seeing that he seemed serious, Lin Fang thought for a while and asked half-jokingly, "I want the production equipment in the two workshops that you don't rent out. Can I sell it?"

Wu Yurong obviously did not expect Lin Fang's answer. He was stunned and fell into silence randomly.

Lin Fang smiled, picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip himself.

It’s really refreshing to drink beer!

"Sell!"

Suddenly, Wu Yurong said suddenly, his tone was extremely firm.

"Are you really selling it?"

Lin Fang asked with some disbelief.

Wu Yurong nodded solemnly: "It's really selling!

If you really want it, it must be done before the end of the year!"

Lin Fang somewhat understood. This guy wanted to plot against their old factory director and ask him to top up this black tank before retiring.

Once the old factory director retires, it is estimated that not many people will make things difficult for him.
