After the party, Wei Shumin and Lu Tianming signed a letter of intent for cooperation and established a strategic cooperative relationship. Hongqi Factory provided various grades of steel to Chenguang Factory at a long-term price below the market price. Two old workshops of Chenguang Factory were renovated.
The large amount of scrap metal produced was transferred to Hongqi Factory free of charge, and there was cooperation and exchange between labor unions, women's federations, militia, Communist Youth League and other groups on both sides...

"Brothers working together can break gold." After signing, Lu Tianming enthusiastically extended his hand to Wei Shumin. Mr. Wei held his hand lightly and let go, saying: "It's getting late.
I won’t keep you here anymore, and next time I’ll pay a visit to your factory.”
On the way back, Lu Tianming kept smoking. Liu Ziguang looked at his solemn expression and joked: "What, are you thinking about how to entertain Mr. Wei?"
"No, I'm thinking about how I can help Hongqi Factory to help them tide over the difficulties." Lu Tianming said seriously. The cigarette in his hand was almost burned to the filter and he forgot to throw it away.
"Help them get millions of dollars in loans or buy tens of thousands of tons of iron ore. I think that's what they need most now," Liu Ziguang said.
Lu Tianming suddenly became enlightened and laughed, "I thought of it!"
"What are you thinking of? You don't really want to help them get loans, do you? It's extremely difficult for companies in need to get loans from banks."
"Of course not a loan."
"That is?"
"Secrets must not be revealed."
…
After returning home, before Liu Ziguang mentioned it, his mother asked excitedly: "Did you go to the Hongqi Factory today?"
"Yes." Liu Ziguang was very puzzled as to why the news spread so quickly.
"Several retired colleagues called and said that Chenguang Factory sent militiamen to beat away the troublemaking gangsters. I knew it was you who went there. Please tell me what happened."
So Liu Ziguang recounted the incident in detail, and his mother said with satisfaction: "You did the right thing this time, but it is better to fight less. Young people are very angry, and it will be bad if something happens."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly. My mother asked in confusion: "Your dad has the key, who could it be?" When he went to open the door, he saw that it was Uncle Wen standing at the door neatly dressed and asking politely.
Said: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"
Mom quickly said politely: "Xiao Wen is here, sit down in the room quickly, we haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
Lao Wen entered the house and saw that Liu Ziguang was also at home, and his face showed a happy look: "Ziguang is at home. I was just thinking of asking you to do something."
Liu Ziguang said: "What's the matter? Just say it."
"Isn't my child admitted to Beiqing University? School is about to start. It's hard to buy train tickets. I went to the train station and asked about it. Now I'm nervous about station tickets to the capital. Xiaoxue, the child, didn't pay for it on his own.
Traveling far away, you have to carry a lot of luggage to go to university..."
"It's a small matter. I'll ask someone to buy a soft sleeper ticket later. Are two tickets enough?"
"Thank you so much. I'm so sorry to trouble you every time."
"No need to be polite, we are all our own people. By the way, have you prepared the tuition fees?"
"Everything is ready..." Lao Wen seemed to be hesitant to speak. Liu Ziguang noticed this keenly and advised: "Brother Lao Wen, if you have anything to say, just say it, and don't show it to others.
"
"Well, my body knows its own way. After the kidney transplant, the rejection reaction was very severe. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore. Besides, I'm so sick... I don't want to embarrass my child, so I thought, if you get
If you have time, help me give Xiaoxue a ride, you are familiar with social things and are better than me."
Liu Ziguang pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever asked Xiaoxue for her opinion?"
"I keep all this from her. I just don't want her to worry too much. Life will be different when she goes to college. It's time to leave dad's arms."
"Okay, it just so happens that I have to go to the capital once, so I'll help you take Xiaoxue to school."
"Thank you very much." Lao Wen held Liu Ziguang's hand tightly and shook it vigorously.
…
Not long after Lao Wen left, Liu Ziguang received a call from Li Wan, saying that he had something urgent to discuss, so he hurriedly drove to Regal Plaza. Most of the employees in the company had left work, and only Mr. Li and Wei Ziqian were waiting in the president's office.
Hold him.
Seeing the serious faces of Mr. Li and Assistant Wei, Liu Ziguang immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked in a deep voice: "Is the city exerting pressure again?"
"Yes, the city has issued a document, officially listing Zhicheng Group as a major candidate for listing. We can be admitted or not. To give us reassurance, the city has organized several companies to visit Beijing for inspections.
, led by Secretary Zhao of the Municipal Party Committee, Mr. Nie from the Great Development Group also went. They asked me to go by name, but I didn’t want to see these people. If Yin Zhijian went, I wouldn’t feel at ease, so..."
"So you are thinking of me?"
Li Wan smiled and said: "Yes, those who can do it should work hard. Anyway, you can run around when you have nothing to do. It's not bad to follow the inspection team to the capital. By the way, I still have some things here. Please help me deliver them to my parents."
."
Liu Ziguang said: "Is it okay not to join the group? I really hate those guys too."
"It should be no problem. I don't think they want to see you either."
…
I called Xiao Dagang at the train station, and two soft sleeper tickets were delivered to my door. Liu Ziguang pretended to give him money, but Xiao Dagang immediately said seriously: "Brother, if you give me money, you are scolding me. What's the relationship between us brothers?"
"
Liu Ziguang smiled and collected the train tickets. Xiao Dagang then left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he patted his chest and said that he would buy tickets from him next time.
September has finally arrived, primary and secondary schools have begun to reopen, and college freshmen have also begun to enroll. Wen Xue, the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, rejected invitations from many overseas universities and finally chose the top university in China, the famous Beiqing University, from Jiangbei City.
It's thousands of miles away from the capital. In the past, when the trains didn't speed up, you had to take a whole night's train to get there. Now that we have high-speed trains, it's much more convenient. It takes four or five hours to reach the distance that used to take more than ten hours.
However, the Jiangbei Railway Branch is in an awkward position. It does not have its own trains to the capital. This makes it very troublesome for people from Jiangbei to travel to Beijing. They can only buy high-priced scalper tickets or station tickets. Xiao Dagang and others relied on reselling train tickets to make money.
of.
Jiangbei Railway Station, the platform is full of travelers carrying luggage. This is the first time Wen Xue has taken a train since he grew up. The last time he took a train was when he moved from Northeast China to Jiangbei as a child. Fast forward more than ten years.
As time passed, the little girl grew up into a charming young lady, and the charming technician at that time turned into a thin old man. Old Wen wore a white long-sleeved shirt and gray trousers, looking clean and elegant. If only
Looking at the back, it looks like a jade tree facing the wind. Xiaoxue is wearing a pure white dress. The skirt reaches a little above her knees, revealing her white legs. She is youthful and sunny.
There is a wicker box and two travel bags on the ground. This is all Xiaoxue's luggage. Speaking of which, the wicker box was used when Lao Wen went to Harbin Institute of Technology. Now that the father's property has been passed down to his daughter, it does have some meaning.
.
My daughter was about to embark on a journey to the capital. She had been looking forward to this day for so many years. Old Wen had mixed feelings and his eyes were a little moist. He held his daughter's hand and kept nagging, urging her to go to school.
Things that need to be noted, Xiaoxue bit her lip and said nothing, and waited until the train pulled into the station, then she couldn't help crying "Dad" with tears streaming down her face, and threw herself into Lao Wen's arms.
"Be good, don't be bitter. You are a college student and still shed tears, which makes people laugh." Lao Wen lovingly stroked his daughter's hair and said as if coaxing a child.
"Dad, I can't bear to leave you." Xiaoxue raised her face with tears in her eyes and said.
"Silly boy, dad is waiting for you at home. We won't see you until winter vacation." Lao Wen said with a smile.
The train slowly stabilized. The conductor opened the door and stood on the platform. Passengers from Jiangbei began to board the train. Liu Ziguang, who was standing far away and did not want to disturb the farewell of his father and daughter, came over and lifted up the heavy wicker box.
, Lao Wen wanted to help carry the luggage, but his daughter persuaded him: "Dad, you are not in good health, I will do it."
Because Liu Ziguang and the others had some connections to get into the station in advance, they easily boarded the soft sleeper carriage. The carriage was packed with people, and the small table by the window was full of passengers. The smell of smelly socks and Master Kong hit their faces.
After arriving, Liu Ziguang carried a huge wicker box and walked ahead to clear the way. He found the box where the tickets were located, put the box and travel bag on the luggage rack, opened the window for ventilation, and the air in the box became better.
There was no one in the box, and the berth was covered with white sheets. The train would stop at Jiangbei Railway Station for eight minutes, so Lao Wen still had some time to say goodbye to his daughter. With Uncle Liu present, Xiaoxue felt embarrassed to cry.
Instead, his spirits were high, and he was obviously full of longing for the upcoming college life. Lao Wen's mood also became high, and the three of them sat together and talked and laughed.
At this time, there was a heavy sound of footsteps outside the window. It was a large number of passengers from hard-seat carriages rushing over. They were carrying large baggage and small luggage, holding children in their arms, swarming over and squeezing into the car desperately. There were crowds of people on the platform, and the whistle was blowing in the distance.
Changming, although he has not yet embarked on his journey, the atmosphere of farewell is already strong.
"Xiaoxue, you must listen to your uncle on the road. Outside is not as good as at home. Think twice before doing anything. Remember?" Old Wen said earnestly. Xiaoxue tried her best to smile and said: "Dad, you have said this eight times."
"Well, just remember. It's getting late. I'm going back." Lao Wen stood up and wanted to leave. Xiaoxue wanted to get off the car to see her off, but he dissuaded her: "The train will leave soon, sit still and don't move."
Xiaoxue had no choice but to sit down, and Lao Wen squeezed Liu Ziguang's hand and said a few words before getting out of the car.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Xiaoxue looked out the window with a sense of loss. Passengers had already boarded the train. There were only a few lonely waiters pushing retail carts and station signalmen holding red and green flags on the platform.
The whistles sounded one after another, indicating that the train was ready to start.
Suddenly Lao Wen's face appeared outside the window, holding a bag of oranges in his hand, which he had just bought from a retail trolley. He stuffed the oranges into the window and said hurriedly: "I was in a hurry and forgot to buy fruit. These oranges are on the way."
eat."
Xue choked after shouting. At this time, the train started moving slowly. Lao Wen stood there and waved constantly. His thin figure became smaller and smaller, getting older and farther away.
