Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 172 Visiting Gu Chunlei's Home

At night, Ming Yuanhui asked Qian Yizheng to lie on the bed, and according to the massage techniques he learned from his grandfather Lu Kaipu, he began to massage Qian Yizheng's shoulders, back, cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, shoulders and neck, Ren meridian, Du meridian, bladder meridian, and stomach meridian, chanting something.

Jun Ge also imitated his father and gave his mother a head massage.

"Yuanhui, I want to equip each of the company's middle-level and above managers with a Nokia phone before the Spring Festival as a Spring Festival benefit. I'll also equip you, Qian Yiyun, and Wang Min with one as well.

Mobile phones are good things, and they are convenient for work and life. I will also give a mobile phone to Daoguan Township Party Committee Secretary Zhao Lailong, Township Mayor Gao Wangcai, Pingzhou County Party Committee Secretary Zhao Yong, County Mayor Meng Xiangjie, and Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli for friendly public relations. Please express your opinion. "

"Mobile phones are indeed good things, but they must cost a lot of money. Another thing to note is that giving mobile phones to government leaders may raise suspicion of bribery, which requires serious consideration," said Ming Yuanhui.

"That shouldn't be the case. We sent someone to hand over the mobile phones and invoices to the financial departments of the county and township governments and let them manage them as government public property. Then they can let the leaders use them. This is reasonable and legal. We did the same thing when we gave the two jeeps to the county government last time." Qian Yizheng said.

"Yizhen, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. You'd better be careful in everything."

"Yuanhui, I accepted Chairman Wang Hengxiu's invitation to visit Gu Chunlei's home. Gu Chunlei is Wang Min's father's second wife. What kind of gift should I bring her? I heard that she has a mentally retarded brother and an elderly mother."

"Just bring some high-end fruits, milk powder, biscuits and other foods. I guess with Mr. Wang as a wealthy man, the family must have everything they need. There's no need to buy rice, flour, pork or anything like that, right?"

"Okay, I understand, Yuanhui. After your massage, I feel much better. Thank you. Let's go to bed. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Qian Yizhen went out. The driver Xiao Sun had already been waiting at the gate of Chen's house. After a while, Professor Jiang Yuhan also came out of the palace. The two got in the car. Xiao Sun started the car and drove straight to the office building of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd., 300 kilometers away.

"Professor Jiang, last year we gave our employees 10 kilograms of pork as a Spring Festival benefit. What will we give them this year?"

"Yizhen, I would like to give the workers cooking oil, rice, flour, and brown sugar, but I can't buy them. These days, everything is supplied by coupons, and only the non-agricultural population can enjoy them.

Last year, the ten kilograms of pork per person was provided by our canteen using leftovers and scraps from pigs we raised and slaughtered. Later, we didn’t have enough pork from our own pigs, so we secretly bought it on the black market. We have to find a way to purchase the welfare for this year’s Spring Festival. Otherwise, we’ll just have to give out ten kilograms of pork per person.”

"Rice is hard to buy on the black market. How about this year's Spring Festival benefits, in addition to the ten kilograms of pork per person, adding ten kilograms of rice?" Qian Yizhen said.

"Okay, but where can we buy so much rice?" Professor Jiang Yuhan said anxiously.

"Mr. Qian, I have a comrade from Jilin. I heard that the Northeast rice there is particularly delicious. His family grows rice. After paying the public grain every year, they will sell it in the market after deducting the family's food rations. How about I ask if his family has any rice that needs to be sold?" said the driver Xiao Sun.

"Okay, Xiao Sun, you should contact him quickly and tell your comrade to buy as much as he can. If his family doesn't have it, you can ask his relatives and friends for help. We can have long-term cooperation in the future. Help your comrade open a grain and oil company and let him be the boss. How about that?" Qian Yizheng said casually.

"Mr. Qian, I will call my comrades when I get back to the company. It should be fine." said the driver Xiao Sun.

Qian Yizhen came to the general manager's office of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd., put down her bag, took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, made herself a cup of black tea, sat at her desk and started working.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizheng's cell phone rang: "Mr. Qian, do you have a dinner date tonight? Gu Chunlei and I would like to invite you to my house for dinner, please come." Chairman Wang Hengxiu said.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, please be there on time at 6pm and tell me the address." Qian Yizhen said.

"Mr. Qian, we live in a farmhouse near the township government. This place is not easy to find. Let me pick you up. I will wait for you in front of the office building of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. at 6 o'clock." Chairman Wang Hengxiu said.

"Well, I'd rather obey than be polite. Thank you, Mr. Wang." After Qian Yizheng finished the call, he called Zhang Chuanren's secretary and asked him to prepare a gift and leave it at the gate of the company's office building.

Qian Yizhen was picked up by Chairman Wang Hengxiu and taken to a farmyard. The car stopped under a big locust tree. Qian Yizhen got out of the car, holding a gift and followed Chairman Wang Hengxiu to the living room.

This is a spacious farmyard, said to be the residence of a large landlord. When the land was divided among the landlords, it was given to four poor peasant families. Due to years of disrepair, it was in a dilapidated state, so they all applied for residential plots elsewhere, built new houses, and moved away.

Chairman Wang Hengxiu saw that this place was good and close to the township government where Gu Chunlei worked, so he negotiated with the village committee and bought the old house. He then used his architectural expertise to renovate the old house.

The houses in the courtyard are clean, tidy, fresh and elegant. It feels very comfortable to be in them.

Gu Chunlei had already been waiting outside the door when she heard the car. She hurried forward, shook Qian Yizhen's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Qian. I finally meet you in person. You are really as good as your reputation says. You are smart, capable, and beautiful. I admire you very much."

"Mr. Qian, am I right? You are Gu Chunlei's idol." Chairman Wang Hengxiu said as he took the gift from Qian Yizhen.

"Mr. Qian, it's our honor to have you here. What gifts should I bring? Thank you." Gu Chunlei said modestly.

"This must be my auntie, hello. I am Qian Yizheng. Sorry to bother you." Qian Yizheng greeted Gu Chunlei's mother politely.

"Don't disturb me, sister, you are so beautiful." Gu Chunlei's brother said indistinctly.

"Hello, brother. Thank you for the compliment. Hahaha." Qian Yizheng said enthusiastically.

After sitting down, Qian Yizhen discovered that Gu Chunlei's belly was bulging under her thick cotton coat: "Director Gu, you are going to be a mother soon, you are several months pregnant, congratulations."

"Mr. Qian, you really have a keen eye. I deliberately wore a thick cotton coat and most people didn't notice it, but you could tell at a glance that I was pregnant. That's amazing." Gu Chunlei said as she brought the freshly brewed tea to Qian Yizheng.
