Chapter 445 Going to the Farm
Hearing the boss's gentle shout, Chief Chen temporarily suppressed his worries about him, and there was no expression on his face.
Holding the teacup in his hand, his mind was working quickly, thinking of a solution.
Suddenly, the study became quiet.
After he sorted out his thoughts, he spoke slowly.
"Boss, after this expanded meeting, you talked to me and wanted me to take on this responsibility.
I think under the current circumstances, stability is needed, especially the situation in the north must not be chaotic.
I have quite a few key national defense projects on hand right now, so I used this excuse to turn them down.
But this won’t last too long, I’ll probably have to come back in a year or two.”
Noticing the change in the boss's expression, he raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and his speech speed quickened.
"Boss, please don't scold me first!
It's not that I'm disobeying the organization's arrangements. I just feel that this is a critical period and no changes are allowed.
You should be aware of the importance of these projects to national defense. Am I exaggerating?"
Having been in the position of minister for so long, the boss is naturally very familiar with the details.
He remained silent and did not refute, but frowned, thinking that there must be other ideas.
Seeing him like this, Chief Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “In the past year, many things have happened that disrupted our plans.
It especially affects the stomachs of most people, which is no small matter.
Even though there is still some grain in the military granaries now, some can be sent to the interior of the country once the Northeast is basically stabilized.
But it is still a drop in the bucket and cannot play a decisive role.
If, I mean if, the situation next year is still the same as this year..."
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he couldn't help but wonder why He Yuzhu promoted the military farm.
When he picked up the phone to ask He Yuzhu, he finally gave up and decided to ask in person.
I always wanted to find the traces inside, but I felt a little uneasy for some reason.
"How could it be? Impossible! How dare they?"
When the boss thought of that scene, his eyes were filled with anger and he slapped the armrest hard.
Having grown up in hardship, they fought in harsh conditions during most of the war years.
He knew deeply the pain of hunger and how serious the consequences would be.
When Chief Chen saw that he was angry, he immediately stood up, walked to the sofa next to him, sat down, and comforted him softly.
"Oh, Boss! I mean, if... calm down! Look why you are so angry? Have some tea and calm down~"
The boss understood that his concerns were not unreasonable, but he shouldn't get angry at him. He raised his glass and took a big sip of tea.
After he let out a long sigh, the expression on his face seemed to be a little relaxed.
"Your worry is not without possibility, I now understand your thoughts a little bit.
Well! I can't help you now, but I'm helping you by not coming forward to help you.
You kid, work hard in the north and strive to get bigger rewards.
As for the food issue, do your best.
Remember, don’t make mistakes or do anything that would affect the good situation in the Northeast.”
Stabilizing the army's logistical supply has become even more important under the current international situation.
Both the sea and the land are blocked, facing severe security threats.
The American fleet is sailing freely in the ocean, with the captain as its minion, always dreaming of counterattack.
A large number of troops began to gather on land, bringing enormous military pressure.
The Northeast is an important place. If it is breached or destroyed, there will be no such industrial base in the whole country.
"Boss, I understand. After a few years, conventional military forces will surely have a new situation.
I have reported this to several people, and they agree with my idea and support me to stay in Harbin.”
Hearing this, the boss nodded with satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder.
"Great! I finally heard something that makes me happy!"
Seeing that the emotional foundation was in place, Chief Chen tentatively expressed his thoughts.
"Boss, please consider my suggestion and follow me to the north.
Don't be so hasty to refuse. I'm not asking you to go there and become an official. Just listen to what I have to say first, and then you can decide.
Drought or flood, drought or flood. Wherever there is drought, there will inevitably be floods in other places.
There had been floods at the beginning of the year, but they had not caused any major disasters because great efforts had been made to repair the waterways in the past few years.
This time, there is a lot more land that can be reclaimed, and plans have been made to carry out the transformation in stages.
We are really short of manpower. Why don't you take charge of this mess and preside over the daily affairs of the military farm?"
The organization of military farms still belongs to the army and is under the management of the military.
Even if there is no need to station troops on the farm, it would be reasonable to have a small guard squad.
Not to mention that there are always militias near the farms, and each village has its own guard force.
These are all protections for the boss, trying to help him avoid this storm.
The meaning of his words was not difficult to understand. The boss obviously noticed his intention and frowned, pondering.
At present, he has resigned from his position and has not received any specific appointment, so he can only stay at home and read books.
But this is not what he wants. He wants to continue to make use of his remaining energy, even if it is just a small position.
Chief Chen’s proposal was quite pleasing to his heart, and it involved going to a farm where food could be produced.
If there are unexpected situations next year, every extra bag of grain will be appreciated.
Chief Chen keenly sensed that the boss was tempted, and the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK, he felt that this matter was going to work.
It was worth it that he came back specially for a face-to-face talk, it finally worked.
He knew very well that this matter could not be rushed. He still had to stay in the city for a few more days anyway, so he would definitely succeed if he went to the customer's house a few more times.
A breeze blew into the room from outside the window. Chief Chen moved his nose and smelled the aroma of food.
"Boss, there's no rush for this matter. Go back and think about it slowly.
It's almost time, smell the aroma, let's go eat first."
The boss came back to his senses from his reverie, his nose filled with an alluring aroma that reminded him of the past.
"Okay! Let's go eat. You took the trouble to prepare a table, and I won't miss it.
Later, call Xiao He and Xiao Lu who is following you. "
After saying that, he put down the teacup and stood up.
Commander Chen immediately stood up, turned sideways, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, with a smile on his face.
"You are the guest, please go first!"
Seeing him like this, the boss glared at him and said, "You are trying the same trick on me again!"
He grabbed Chief Chen's arm and walked with him to the study door.
He Yuzhu, who was outside the study, had no idea what was going on. He and Lu Ming were busy serving the dishes.
He held the handle with a towel in his hand and walked in front, carrying a pot of steaming soup.
Lu Ming followed behind him, carrying a large wooden tray with three dishes on it.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw two leaders coming out.
When his eyes fell on the boss's face, He Yuzhu finally understood what was going on today.
"Hello, Boss! Hello, Chief!"
He Yuzhu subconsciously stood at attention and greeted loudly.
