Chapter 734 The existence of looking up (5000 words chapter) 3/5 15,000
While Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. was racing against time to prepare to renovate the workshop and launch trial production of new products, the two meetings of the CPPCC and the National People's Congress were also completed.
After this wave of meetings, significant changes occurred across the country.
Unlike last year, this year's Two Sessions mainly emphasized people's livelihood issues, including income and distribution, and the gap between rich and poor.
Education and employment, as well as policies related to housing prices, prices, inflation and food security and other issues.
In addition, the meeting also emphasized the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure based on market demand, strengthening the construction of agricultural infrastructure and rural livelihood projects, and promoting farmers' income through multiple channels.
Another most important aspect is to increase the intensity of poverty alleviation and development.
After the upper meeting was completed, the local meeting also ended.
At this time, Wang Hongsheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He also took advantage of this gap to call Xia Zekai and ask him to have dinner together.
Xia Zekai was a little surprised when he received Wang Hongsheng's call, but he promised his wife to go home for dinner tonight.
His wife even happily went to buy seafood. If he let his wife go at this time, he would not want to hang out at home in the future.
He tactfully said to Wang Hongsheng: "Boss, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, what do you think?"
Wang Hongsheng immediately understood the meaning of Xia Zekai's words. He was not a person who forced others to make things difficult.
He happily said to Xia Zekai: "Then let's make a date for tomorrow. I've agreed that I'll treat you this time. How can we change it again?"
"Okay, you pay for the food and I'll bring the wine." Xia Zekai said this.
This statement directly amused Wang Hongsheng.
When Xia Zekai returned home full of expectations, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yatou and Tongtong sitting cross-legged on the floor in the living room, watching TV.
Seeing her father come in, the girl quickly stood up happily and gestured with her little hands to describe to Xia Zekai: "Dad, mommy bought so big shrimps, oh, they look so scary."
As she spoke, her eyes narrowed to a slit, and she looked quite scared.
"Its claws are so long." The girl's eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she stretched out her hands.
Tongtong also stood up and said: "There is also a big crab, bigger than my face. I saw it, and it is still alive."
"Oh, it's so scary. Are you two afraid?" Xia Zekai asked them with a smile.
The two sisters almost shook their heads in unison: "We are not afraid."
The girl nodded fiercely and said, "Dad, I also picked up a crab. It's so heavy that I can't lift it, but I'm not afraid."
"Isn't that right? Did its hand pinch you?" Xia Zekai asked him.
The girl shook her head vigorously: "No, my mother tied up the crabs' legs with ropes. I'm not afraid of them!"
Tongtong also emphasized over and over again: "Dad, I'm not afraid either. I even punched it."
Hearing what Tongtong said, Xia Zekai wanted to wipe his sweat. The second child's thinking was just different from that of normal people. He couldn't change it even if he wanted to. He really didn't know what to do in the future.
Luo Xiyun was still busy steaming seafood in the kitchen. When she heard the noise outside, she shouted: "Zekai, come here and help."
"What did you do? Wait for me to wash my hands." Xia Zekai took off his coat, changed into slippers, hung his briefcase on the hanger at the door, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face.
After finishing his work, he went to the kitchen again. When he entered, he saw that the lobster was ready. The shrimp heads and legs in front were fried, and the body was steamed. Considering that Yatou and Tongtong couldn't eat spicy food,
, without adding any chili pepper.
The emperor crab has also been steamed. The crab shell is red and looks bigger than a large plate.
A plate of rich shrimps that were longer than his wife's forearm was also fried, and a layer of peanut crisps and sesame salt were sprinkled on top. Xia Zekai really wanted to say that it would be better if some chili powder was sprinkled on it.
The chicken soup with abalone and snails is ready, and it has the most fragrant taste in the kitchen.
"Daughter-in-law, why are there so many delicious foods today?" Xia Zekai rubbed her hands and thought to herself, if she went out to drink and eat with Wang Hongsheng tonight, she would miss out on the delicious food and keep her wife busy all night, which would make her feel more disappointed.
.
Luo Xiyun said without looking back: "I see you've been very tired recently, so I'm thinking of getting you some delicious tonic. If you don't want to eat it, just take it."
"Eat, you must eat." Xia Zekai said happily.
He started to take the plates out, one by one. When Yatou and Tongtong saw it, they couldn't help but make strange noises like "Wow" and "Woo" from their little mouths.
The next moment, the two of them thought about grabbing them directly, but Xia Zekai gave them a sharp look: "Wash your hands, are you dirty? If you do this again, I will spank you."
The two sisters teamed up and glared at their father. When they saw their father put down the plate and wanted to chase them away, the two girls quickly ran away laughing.
Luo Xiyun shouted: "Zekai, Dongxingban should be steamed by now. My hands are still stained with sauce. Please bring them out."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai said.
He put on oven gloves and went to pick up the plate of Eastern Star Spot inside.
There was a large aluminum pot steaming on the stove. Xia Zekai asked, "Wife, what's in that pot?"
Luo Xiyun said: "The boiled shrimps are almost ready to be steamed. Just wait a while and I will prepare the dipping sauce. The meal will be ready soon."
There is also a pot of seafood pimple soup. Luo Xiyun added a little pepper. Yatou and Tongtong like to drink it, and Xia Zekai also likes it.
When she came out after finishing her work, Xia Zekai, Yatou, Tongtong and their fathers were already sitting around the dining table. Xia Zekai also tied bibs with sunflowers on Yatou and Tongtong's necks to prevent them from eating later.
I was so happy that I splashed soup all over myself.
"Eat quickly, what are you waiting for?" Luo Xiyun said to them.
Before Xia Zekai could say anything, the girl said: "Mom, dad said he wants to wait for you to have dinner together."
"Yes, Mom, you should eat quickly, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore." Tongtong covered her belly with a pitiful look on her face.
Luo Xiyun smiled and said: "It will be fine soon."
She brought out the last seafood pimple soup. Xia Zekai took a look and saw that there were shrimps and some white meat in it. It looked like oysters. The meat inside the clams had been taken out and cut into shreds.
"It's so rich." Xia Zekai praised with a smile.
Yatou and Tongtong nodded frequently, and they kept saying: "Dad, mom is so amazing."
"It's okay. You three, please stop flattering me and eat it while it's hot." Luo Xiyun felt extremely proud and said with a smile.
She didn't like cooking before, but now she has really found the joy of cooking, and she still wants to cook more good things in the future.
Although the ingredients are a bit expensive, it doesn't matter if the family enjoys the meal.
Xia Zekai also asked: "Daughter-in-law, this table is not cheap."
"It's not bad. Who made you earn so much money and you can't spend it? Buying more can also promote consumption and generate income for fishermen." Luo Xiyun was also talking about one thing after another, opening his mouth.
"Eat quickly." Xia Zekai started to pick out the whitest, tender and juiciest piece of shrimp meat in the middle of the lobster.
He divided the shrimp meat between Yatou, Tongtong and his wife, leaving a small portion for himself. Then he took the fried shrimp head and started chewing it.
Luo Xiyun also said to him: "Why don't you eat shrimp?"
"Hey, I like to eat shrimp heads." Xia Zekai said habitually. He did this before.
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him and gave him half of the shrimp meat in her bowl: "In the past, it was because you didn't have money, so you couldn't bear to eat it. Now it's not like you don't have money, so why are you pretending? Eat it quickly, and
Big crab!"
Not to mention crabs, there is still a lot of meat in the lobster legs. Xia Zekai entered the role of 'tool man' in the next time.
He cracked the hard shell of the seafood and took out all the meat inside and distributed it to the three wives.
When Yatou and Tongtong both shouted that they were full and wanted to play, Xia Zekai took them to wash their faces and hands, took off their bibs and put them away for washing.
Then he returned to the dining table. His wife was taking a spoon of crab meat and crab roe from the crab shell. When she saw him coming over, she said to him: "Eat more of this, it will be a great supplement."
Xia Zekai curled his lips: "Daughter-in-law, I exercise every day now, and if I take these supplements, can you still stand it?"
"Xia Zekai, if you don't want to eat, get out of here. Don't do that little thing all day long. I won't serve you anymore." Luo Xiyun said with a fierce mouth.
Xia Zekai was happy: "Let me tell you something serious."
"What serious things can you say?" Luo Xiyun asked him after taking a sip of seafood pimple soup.
Xia Zekai said: "I'm going to have dinner with Wang Hongsheng tomorrow night."
He said: "Wang Hongsheng originally made an appointment with me today, but when I thought about you cooking delicious food at home, I was not willing to go and pushed his arrangement away."
"You know the truth!" Luo Xiyun smiled.
She was a little curious and asked, "Why is he looking for you?"
"Let's have a meal and chat. He has just been promoted recently and has become a general manager." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun was not interested in this. She waved her hand and said, "Don't tell me this. Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, you can go wash the dishes."
"Yes!" Xia Zekai saluted.
The meal in the evening was too much. They both ate as much as they could, but in the end they didn't finish it, and there was quite a bit left.
Luo Xiyun took two thick black plastic bags and cleaned up the garbage, while Xia Zekai obediently took the empty bowls, chopsticks and plates and washed them.
When he came out after finishing his work, Luo Xiyun was coaxing Yatou and Tongtong to sleep.
The two sisters were also sleepy. When Xia Zekai saw this, he went directly to take a shower.
…
The next morning, Xia Zekai felt very energetic. Thinking about how he and his wife risked their lives fighting all night last night, he felt very energetic.
My waist doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't cramp anymore, I feel comfortable.
When I get up in the morning and go for a run, I feel particularly energetic.
After running 10 laps, Cui Xiaofeng brought up old things again and asked him to try running a marathon.
"Xiao Cui, I think you really don't want to do it anymore. I have so much work, how can I have time to participate in the competition." Xia Zekai tried his best to find a legitimate reason for himself.
Cui Xiaofeng pouted, the boss is just lazy, nothing else.
Tongtong's physical strength improved significantly this morning. With her small body, she was able to run almost 500 meters.
This moment frightened Xia Zekai. When he saw his daughter shouting that she was tired, he felt relieved.
But it can also be seen that running and practicing basic kung fu and stance with Wang Yi have greatly increased her physical strength.
He was thinking about it, if Tongtong grows up and lets her participate in track and field competitions, will she win a prize?
After having dinner in the morning, he bought another portion for his wife to take back. Xia Zekai also took a quick shower before coming down from upstairs.
After the time entered March, the temperature was getting higher and higher. After running three or four laps, his body started to sweat, not to mention that Xia Zekai ran 10 laps. However, since he started exercising, his energy has indeed improved.
A lot. It’s no longer the time before where I always felt sleepy and my whole body was trembling with fat.
When we arrived at the company, all departments were performing their respective duties. It was already a mature machine that was running quickly and efficiently. Xia Zekai basically no longer needed to supervise the work in this area.
Xia Zekai slowly spent the day in the company.
In the middle, he received a text message from Wang Hongsheng, and Wang Hongsheng sent him an address: "Guest House."
With just three words, Xia Zekai knew where it was.
Once again coming to the place where he once received the award of "Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs in Qicheng", Xia Zekai was still filled with emotion.
It was here that Xia Zekai got to know some older entrepreneurs in Qicheng, and Xia Zekai opened another door.
After coming over, Liu Xinsheng was already waiting at the door. He first led Xia Zekai into the room. At this time, there was only Wang Hongsheng in the room.
Liu Xinsheng then went back to make arrangements for Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng.
"Boss Xia, sit down quickly." Wang Hongsheng stood up with a smile and extended his hand for Xia Zekai to sit down.
Xia Zekai raised the two bottles of wine in his hand and said, "Mayor Wang, there are only two bottles tonight, one for each of us to celebrate your promotion."
"Nothing more."
"Oh, it cost you money." Wang Hongsheng looked at the wine, the smile on his face never broke.
For him, what he pursues is for the sesame seeds to bloom steadily. Being promoted means that he can stand in a higher position and realize his inner ambition.
"We will have to rely on Boss Xia's support in the future." Wang Hongsheng said politely.
This made Xia Zekai a little unsure whether he was really polite or fake: "Mayor Wang, you are joking."
"I'm serious. In the next step, Qicheng will focus on developing the secondary and tertiary industries. Boss Xia, we will need entrepreneurs like you to take the lead in the future and set an example for other enterprises in Qicheng." Wang
Hongsheng said.
Xia Zekai quickly waved his hand. He put it bluntly that he was nothing more than a processing company. He just rushed the time better, seized the opportunity, and made great use of online 'e-commerce', and achieved very good results.
Effect.
Liu Xinsheng came over not long after. He told Wang Hongsheng that he had arranged for the waiter to serve the food, and then went out again.
Xia Zekai glanced at the closed door and thought that Wang Hongsheng really seemed to have something to talk to him tonight.
Although there were only two of them in the room, Wang Hongsheng ordered a lot of dishes, and the whole table was filled.
waste?
Xia Zekai didn't mention anything about packing or not packing this matter tonight. He poured the wine he brought over to Wang Hongsheng and him.
Wang Hongsheng said: "Boss Xia, have you seen the spirit of this year's meeting?"
"I've looked at it a little bit, and it's mainly about people's livelihood issues." Xia Zekai spoke concisely and to the point.
A gentleman does not discuss politics.
He also never liked to point fingers at established facts.
Wang Hongsheng said: "From a general perspective, the country has set the tone to improve the agricultural industrial structure this year, adjust the existing economic model, and increase poverty alleviation development efforts. From these aspects, this year we really need to rely on
Boss Xia has worked hard."
"Don't worry, boss, I will do whatever you want me to do." Xia Zekai raised his glass and laughed.
Wang Hongsheng didn't pay attention. The two of them had a drink, drank almost a third of it, and then chatted while eating the food.
The original top leader, Sun Yanbin, left, and Liu Changhong took the opportunity to take over. This adjustment was expected.
After all, Liu Changhong has been operating in Qicheng for many years. When Wang Hongsheng was still at the bottom, Liu Changhong was already sitting at the top of the city government.
Moreover, he belongs to Liu Changhong's family. From the perspective of his own relationship, Liu Changhong has taken a step forward, which is also very beneficial to him personally.
But don't expect that just because of this, you can use Liu Changhong's help to straighten things out in one step.
For now, having executive director in front of his name is already a huge gain.
When talking about this issue, Wang Hongsheng sighed with emotion. He has worked hard in the past two years and has been walking on thin ice. To be honest, his life has not been easy.
He was afraid that if he did something wrong, his future would be affected.
"Leader, come here, let me toast you another drink." Xia Zekai held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Please take good care of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. in the future."
"Boss Xia, you are really too polite." Wang Hongsheng said.
He didn't bother to correct him. Anyway, they were all people in the scene, and they were all very clever.
Xia Zekai told him the plan goals of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. this year.
Wang Hongsheng was particularly surprised when Xia Zekai said that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. had added a production and sales plan for dried fruits on the basis of the original plan.
He said: "Boss Xia, have you really decided?"
"Of course, our company's production plan has been adjusted. I'm letting them go all out to develop new products. As soon as next month, I will let them take the products to the direct-operated stores to try to sell them. Let's see.
market feedback."
"Boss Xia is really amazing." Wang Hongsheng didn't know what to say.
Xia Zekai has achieved such great success, but he has not stopped yet and has been running forward at a faster pace.
Wang Hongsheng suddenly realized that Xia Zekai might have become the one he looked up to even before he was straightened up.
