While Cao Weidong was chatting with Xu Aiguo, a gray-haired old man walked in outside the conference room.
He was a little thin, and his face was covered with age spots and wrinkles, making him look particularly old, but his body was still straight.
Behind the old man were cadres such as Wang Kongwen and Xu An.
They were like stars over the moon, surrounding the old man in the center.
Cao Weidong took a look, suddenly stood up, and said excitedly.
"Secretary Huang, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Secretary Huang.
The leader of the municipal party committee who had taken great care of him.
Secretary Huang looked at Cao Weidong and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He happily held Cao Weidong's hand and said excitedly.
"Xiao Cao, it's really you. These brats came here yesterday to inquire about you. I still can't believe it."
"I didn't expect you to really come back."
Secretary Huang was very happy.
Before leaving, he could still see the young man he once admired, and he seemed to have achieved good results, which gave him a feeling that he had someone to succeed him.
Speaking of which, Secretary Huang is over seventy years old this year. Although Cao Weidong has warned him in advance, he still suffered a lot.
But all this has passed.
After everything was stable, Secretary Huang was re-employed.
But after experiencing all these things, Secretary Huang also thought about it. In addition, his former friend fell and retired, so Secretary Huang also submitted an application for retirement.
Considering that Secretary Huang is getting older, his retirement application was successfully approved and he usually spends his retirement in his own house.
Although Secretary Huang is no longer in charge, his prestige is still there, and his disciples and friends are all over the forty-nine cities. Even Wang Kongwen, Xu An, or their leaders may have knelt down the first time they saw Secretary Huang.
And the reason why he came here was because of Wang Kongwen.
After Wang Kongwen heard Cao Weidong's story, he was very curious and searched for information in the department.
However, a lot of data has been lost.
But Wang Kongwen also had perseverance. According to the clues given by Cao Weidong, he found Secretary Huang after many twists and turns.
Driven by curiosity, Wang Kongwen ran to ask Secretary Huang.
As a result, this inquiry made Secretary Huang know that Cao Weidong was back.
That's why he insisted on coming to this occasion to meet the person Wang Kongwen was talking about and see if that person was Cao Weidong.
The result is true.
The two old hands gathered together and had endless things to say. Secretary Huang first asked Cao Weidong about his experiences over the years. Cao Weidong did not hide anything. He started from sneaking into the port city and continued to the establishment of Asia Pictures and Shouzhengtang Medicine.
Start two companies, and then talk about investing in the mainland.
Of course, he also hid a lot of key information.
But these are no hindrances to those who listen to the story.
Secretary Huang was shocked to hear this and praised him repeatedly.
"It's not easy, it's really not easy. I thought you were quite aggressive at first, and it seems I was right."
Especially when Secretary Huang learned that Cao Weidong's original intention of investing in and setting up a pharmaceutical factory in Northeast China was to prevent Japan from harvesting China's resources, he was even more happy to praise him.
"Okay, okay! This is my good man from China."
Stop talking about Secretary Huang.
Even people like Wang Kongwen and Xu An were particularly fascinated by what he heard.
They admired Cao Weidong deeply.
Cao Weidong smiled coquettishly, seeming a little embarrassed, and then said.
"Actually, after I arrived in Sijiu City, I realized that the changes here were so great that I could no longer find my former friends. So I told Comrade Wang a lot about what happened back then. I hope that after this business negotiation, I can trust him.
I wanted to look for those friends from back then, but I didn’t expect that you found them first.”
Speaking of this, Secretary Huang felt a little depressed.
"Hey, many of those people from back then are no longer here."
After being introduced by Secretary Huang, Cao Weidong knew that the former Secretary Li unfortunately did not survive.
This result made Cao Weidong feel regretful.
In addition, there are many old friends who have interacted with Cao Weidong, who also retired and fell.
The only good news is that the Zhenhua Energy Plant that Cao Weidong once founded in Tongquan City managed to escape due to its remote location.
But I heard from Secretary Huang that the director of Zhenhua Energy Plant has also been replaced.
As for the current situation of Ding Qiunan and others, Secretary Huang is not sure.
After chatting for a while, Secretary Huang couldn't help but feel pity for talents.
"Weidong, what do you think about coming back this time? Have you ever thought about returning to the system?"
"Although I have stepped down, I still have a lot of connections. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to come back and whatever level you were at before you left, I can guarantee that you will go up again."
Wang Kongwen and the others were dumbfounded and looked at Cao Weidong with envy.
This is simply a step to the top.
Cao Weidong shook his head.
"Secretary Huang, thank you for your kindness, I refuse."
He had made a great career in Hong Kong City, and with so many brothers around him pointing fingers at him, how could he give up his career and go into politics?
Moreover, at this time, the country was advocating a market economy, and he had so many ideas in his hands, so he naturally wanted to follow the general trend of the country and become a trendsetter in the market economy.
Secretary Huang sighed, with a hint of regret in his tone.
Cao Weidong chuckled at this time.
"Old Secretary, although I can't be in politics, I still love the country. Don't you think I just brought in a large amount of investment?"
"I plan to build several more pharmaceutical factories in the Northeast. Also, I want to open health care product stores in first-tier cities in China... Can you help me think of a way?"
According to the current situation, Cao Weidong can only open stores in a limited number of cities. It will take several more years to open stores all over the world.
But Secretary Huang patted his chest and said.
"Okay, I'll intercede with you."
Even though his words were true, they were actually equivalent to a promise.
However, Secretary Huang still said in confusion.
"Weidong, what are the health products you want to sell?"
"it is this."
Cao Weidong asked Xu Aiguo to take out several boxes of gift boxes produced by Shouzhengtang.
"This is the latest health product developed by our company. Drinking it regularly is good for your health. Moreover, our products have undergone clinical trials and are endorsed by authoritative organizations."
He explained it, and Secretary Huang was very interested. Cao Weidong took the opportunity to give a box to everyone present.
This thing is a product for them, and it is not illegal to accept it, so a few people accepted it happily.
Secretary Huang was a little sleepy at this time.
He asked: "Weidong, where are you staying during this time? I will send someone to find you then, and we can have a good chat."
Cao Weidong wanted to live in the courtyard as his own, so he told Secretary Huang the address.
Finally, he mentioned the incident of his house being occupied.
