The Era of Hard Work

Back in Quannan, it was already dark, so Lu Dong sent Ma Ming directly to the front of the building. Ma Yuanchao and Yu Zhanlong insisted on staying with everyone for dinner, but Lu Dong declined on the excuse that it was too late.

According to normal thinking and procedures, Ma Yuanchao and Yu Zhanlong will inevitably reprimand Ma Ming next time. If there are outsiders present, it will not be good at all.

First send Song Na and her daughter back to Wenyuan, the school, and Lu Dong is going to return to Lujia Village with Lu Jianren.

After leaving the Wenyuan of the school, Lu Jianren said, "Let's go to Ginza first."

Lu Dong checked the time, the Ginza supermarket in the south was not closed yet, but why go to Ginza at this point?

Lu Jianren said casually: "When I go out, I have to buy something for Nail. I forgot over there, so I will make up for it."

Lu Dong looked at Lu Jianren, Seventh Uncle was really different from before.

Lu Jianren snorted coldly, and said: "When you and Xiao Heidan have a child, you will understand when you become a father."

Went to the Ginza supermarket to buy some snacks, and Lu Dong went to the Burger King, which was not closed.

"Seventh Uncle." When he came out, Lu Dong reminded Lu Jianren: "Hurry up and throw away the receipt, the nails are so fine, you will know that you forgot to buy something for him when you see the receipt."

"It makes sense." Lu Jianren threw the receipt into the trash can.

Back home, Hu Chunlan left dinner, ate something simple, and chatted with his mother for a while. After Lu Dong washed up, he went back to the house early to get ready for bed.

The things in the bag were taken out, the long tea box was empty, and all the accumulated scorpions were used up, and I went back to before liberation overnight.

The dead itchy peppers in the box were useless and were placed under the tea box.

Lu Dong thought of Uncle Qi's weapon, which is safe and environmentally friendly. It seems that next time he goes out, he can prepare more for self-defense.

In fact, these days, going to the city is safer than going to the countryside below.

Some people are used to being the emperor, and they are not educated, so they can be said to have no fear of heaven and earth.

The next day, Boss Xing of Zhengjia Processing Factory rushed from Mengcheng to Quannan, and came to University City to discuss specific cooperation matters. Lu Dong accompanied Song Na and took Boss Xing to visit the office of Wenxin Commercial and three stores in University City , Speak with commercial facts, and further strengthen Boss Xing's cooperation intention.

The two sides negotiated for more than a day, and finally signed a formal OEM processing agreement.

Boss Xing has doubled his income, and Wenxin Trading has a more reliable and lower-cost stable source of goods.

The first batch of products of the cooperation will also be in place before the opening of Xinxin Business after the year.

On the other hand, the No. 1 Sports Culture Company, which Lu Dong participated in, has already started renovations, and the recruitment of manpower and purchase of equipment are also going on at the same time.

Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan are professionals in this field, especially Yang Min, who used to work part-time in one of the few fitness centers in Quannan, and has a lot of experience in the fitness industry.

This industry, in a small county-level town like Qingzhao, was completely empty before. Even in a city like Quannan, there are not many professionals in this industry.

University towns are gathering more and more universities and enterprises, and the number of relatively high-income university teachers, white-collar workers and even gold-collar workers is also increasing. Compared with ordinary migrant workers, these people are affected by the current popular petty bourgeois sentiment. There is considerable demand for sports and fitness.

Lu Dong received definite news that the Provincial Academy of Sciences and its subordinate scientific and technological units will also relocate from Quannan to the University City after the next year.

Just in the factory area to the west, on the edge of the land reserved for Lu's Catering Distribution Center, the brand new Sanle Solar Factory is about to be completed and will be officially opened in the next year.

As a new industry of environmental protection technology, this is also one of the key projects introduced by the University City Management Committee.

It has always been a tradition here to concentrate efforts on big things. As a state-owned enterprise, Zhongchuang Group is planning to set up a software company. The new company will rely on the cooperation of the School of Computer Science of the Provincial University, and the address will be finalized in the Innovation Port of the Provincial University.

Zhongchuang Group has a big family and a big business, and it is said that it has finalized an entire building in the No. 4 Innovation Port of the Provincial University as the office address.

"When doing things, there is no support behind, no one to help you stand up, and it is difficult to do anything."

In the No. 1 Burger King store at the central intersection of the University City, Director Zhao sat in a corner and said to Lu Dong: "Look at how much practical work our leader has done since he took office. The size of the University City has at least doubled, and the permanent population has grown from There are no more than 150,000 people, four foreign-funded enterprises with an investment of tens of millions, eight joint ventures, and countless domestic enterprises, can ordinary people do it?"

Due to the winter vacation, when Burger King is not at meal time, there are many fewer people and it seems relatively quiet.

The waiter brought over the two cups of coffee that Lu Dong asked for, and Lu Dong answered, "Director Yang really wants to do something, and the changes in the university town are just what he sees. My business is here. If it weren't for the increase in universities and the increase in the resident population , the number of companies has increased, can we continue to do so?"

Officer Zhao opened the lid of the cup, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Even so, the following are dissatisfied with our leaders."

Needless to say, Lu Dong also knew why: "This is a long-term process, and the general direction is good."

Director Zhao asked: "I heard that your Lujia Village is going to be a provincial-level civilized village?"

"The superiors will take care of you." Lu Dong said what other people said, but Director Zhao represented Yang Liewen in some respects, so Lu Dong said a few more words: "Some time ago, someone in the county took aim at Lu's Village in the autumn wind. Brother Zhao, you know better than me that a village collective enterprise is facing each other, and it is easy to get people stuck. I have no choice but to find my dad’s comrades in arms..."

Director Zhao has heard a little about this matter. Behind Lu Dong and Lujia Village, they not only have a good relationship with the Management Committee of the University City, but also with the county bureau system.

Although he has never been a soldier, someone in his family has been a soldier, and he knows some comrades who have been on the battlefield.

It has been tested by blood and fire.

Officer Zhao, or Yang Liewen behind him, has a very keen sense of smell: "Lu Dong, if something happens, I can help you here. Feel free to come and look for me, don't be polite to me, and we brothers don't see each other."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, when have I ever been polite to you?"

"I have something to tell you in advance." Director Zhao looked around and saw no one else nearby, and said, "The province plans to build a software industrial park, which is very likely to be located in the university town, and it is planned to be an enterprise zone in the west."

Lu Dong nodded slowly: "I understand."

If the Software Park really settles on the west side of the university town, Lu's Catering can open another store on the west side.

According to his memory, the software park finally belonged to the university town. Although it is incomparable with the first-tier cities, it is also a first-class high-tech industrial park in Taidong Province.

He didn't think much about it before, but now he has more contacts, stands higher and sees farther. Perhaps the establishment of the software park has also promoted the transformation of the university city into a high-tech industrial city.

Lu Dong asked, "Is it settled?"

"It's not fully settled yet, but it's close to ten." Director Zhao was able to tell Lu Dong that it was almost the same: "In our Taidong Province, the place where software talents are most concentrated is the Provincial University. Now the Provincial University The School of Computer Science and Information Technology is located in the University City, and the advantages of the University City are unmatched by other places.”

Lu Dong said: "When there are more people and more enterprises, the university town can develop, and my business will be easier to do."

Director Zhao drank his coffee and said goodbye: "Okay, I won't tell you any more, I have to go back and get busy. The vocational skills testing center at the traffic technical school is under construction, and a lot of documents have been brought in. Although I am not in charge, this is I have to help deal with what our leaders are vigorously promoting."

Two days ago, Lu Dong sent Song Na to the traffic technical school to practice driving. He also saw the test field under construction and said, "When will it start? I also hope to attract more people here."

Officer Zhao said with a smile: "I will notify you in advance when the time comes."

Lu Dong sent him out. Lu's Catering will open many stores in Quannan soon after the Chinese New Year. Qingzhao County and University City will also add more stores according to the situation, and they need to continue to recruit people.

After seeing off Director Zhao, Lu Dong was about to go to the company when he saw Song Na and Zhao Juanjuan coming from the south.

Maybe it was warmer today, and the two of them were pushing a stroller covered with a windshield.

Lu Dong greeted him, leaning over to look at the child under the windshield: "Duoduo is here." He urged, "Go to the store quickly, don't freeze the child."

Zhao Juanjuan is much richer than before, and she showed her double chin when she smiled: "How can you be so delicate, it's so warm today, it's almost ten degrees under the sun."

Song Na pushed the stroller and said, "Let's go to the store, it's winter vacation, there are few people."

Before arriving at the store, a waiter came to help open the door. Lu Dong and Song Na put the stroller into the store together. Zhao Juanjuan thanked the waiter very politely.

Following Qian Rui and seeing more people in the market, Zhao Juanjuan's personal cultivation is also improving.

Lu Dong asked for a figure of Burger King from the counter, and took it to amuse the children.

Zhao Juanjuan's daughter has also been officially named, and she is still called Duoduo, and her first name is Qian Duoduo.

"Is this from Brother Qian?" Seeing Zhao Juanjuan, Lu Dong nodded, "Brother Qian has a level, this name is good."

Song Na couldn't help laughing: "Qian Duoduo..."

Zhao Juanjuan also laughed: "Fortune tellers have calculated that the five elements are seriously short of gold, and there is gold in the surname, so they simply use nicknames, isn't it a severe shortage of gold, and it's not enough for all three characters to have gold, so it happens to be homophonic, and the meaning of the old money is also good."

Those who don't believe in this kind of thing don't have it, and those who believe it pay attention to it, and each has its own way of saying it.

But the meaning of the name is really good. It seems that since Qian Rui had a daughter, his business has been very good. The last time Lu Dong saw Qian Rui, he heard that this year's bills were going very well.

Those who do engineering, the most troublesome thing is not the project itself, but the account.

The three chatted while coaxing their children. When it came to No. 1 Sports Culture Company, Zhao Juanjuan urged: "Song Na, hurry up and open the business. I'm so fat, it's too difficult to recover by myself. When you open it, I will open it." Be the first to sign up."

Song Na said: "When it opens, I'll be the first to call you, and I expect you to give me a good start."

"No problem." Zhao Juanjuan asked instead: "Lu Dong, it's almost Chinese New Year, are you still doing firecracker business this year?"

Lu Dong shook his head: "I won't do it. A lot of things happened a year ago, and this year everyone knows that selling firecrackers requires a license. It's definitely not as easy as last year."

Only then did Zhao Juanjuan say, "I have a brother in my family who wants to do it."

Lu Dong said directly: "Just let him go directly to the safety management office of the county bureau to complete the formalities. My brother said that there will still be strict investigations this year, and regular products must be sold."

"Okay, I'll call him later." Zhao Juanjuan said to Song Na again: "When I'm free, let's go shopping in Ginza. I won't be able to wear last year's winter clothes."

Song Na said, "How about tomorrow?"

Lu Dong thought that the Chinese New Year is less than a month away: "I'll go with you."

Zhao Juanjuan said: "It's just right, I called Lao Qian to look after the child."
