The cold current went south, the wind blew the grass and the dripping water turned into a frozen cold night. There was no way to drink Huadiao wine and eat roasted mutton.

There are several sheds built with rainproof cloth in the alley. They walked in with the cold wind on their backs. The shed was filled with the steaming and slightly mutton aroma, which made people feel hungry when they smelled.

Chen Huai rubbed his hands and pulled the plastic chair and sat down at an empty folding table. Shao Zheng ran over to greet the boss standing in the big iron stove and ordered braised mutton, tofu with mutton blood, fried mutton liver, a large pot of mutton soup noodles, and then returned with a plate of five-spice beans and a pot of rice wine.

The rice wine was poured into the kettle and poured into the glass, which was warming the throat. Chen Huai and Yang Haipeng each poured half a glass of wine into their stomachs, making them feel refreshed.

Yang Haipeng greeted Shao Zheng and said, "Drop the car here later, bring a cup to drink together. A large pot of mutton, you have to be the main force before you can eat it all..."

Chen Huai chewed fat mutton in his mouth, turned around and helped Shao Zheng take a glass from the next table, asking Yang Haipeng to help Shao Zheng add wine. Yang Haipeng still had dinner and brought it to the midnight snack. He and Shao Zheng were hungry for half a night in the forging factory in the city. At this time, the most needed rice wine and mutton to wrap their belly and relieve the cold.

Zhao Yicheng lifted the curtain and walked in. Yang Haipeng quickly grabbed the chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, raised his hand and greeted: "Old Zhao, are we here?"

Zhao Yicheng looked at Chen Huai and Shao Zheng and the others were present. He was stunned at first, then walked over with a smile and said, "When he saw the District Mayor Shen's car parked at the entrance of the alley, he thought District Mayor Shen had a midnight snack here..."

"I didn't ask Haipeng to tell Factory Director Zhao Ming on the phone. In fact, there was nothing to say. It was just that it was cold and I asked Director Zhao to come over to eat mutton and drink rice wine to relieve the cold. I think Director Zhao wouldn't think I was bad-minded," Chen Huai smiled, turned around and took another glass, poured Zhao Yicheng with wine, and said, "Zhao Dong is on a business trip in Jiangning today, otherwise he would bring him over and drink with Director Zhao."

Just now, he had a few hours of dealing with Chen Huai in the factory, and it was only less than an hour apart. Chen Huai asked Yang Haipeng to call him out to drink. Zhao Yicheng was unable to make up and could not guess what Chen Huai was thinking.

While guessing Chen Huai’s thoughts, Zhao Yicheng took out the scarf wrapped around his neck. Seeing Chen Huai take out the kettle and pour the glass full of wine, he hurriedly said politely, saying, “Why are you embarrassed to ask District Mayor Chen to pour wine for me?”

"If you want to talk about identity, Director Zhao is also a deputy director. Haipeng has no position or official position and is a slut. Is it the most suitable for him to serve us?" Chen Huai smiled and handed the glass filled with rice wine to Zhao Yicheng's table, put the kettle filled with rice wine in the corner of the wall, and greeted Zhao Yicheng, "Haipeng and I drink it first, and we haven't waited for you. You can drink a glass to warm up first."

Zhao Yicheng came by riding a bicycle. In the middle of the night when the cold wave was running, no matter how tightly he was, his hands and feet were still stiff by the cold wind. He sat down and drank a glass of wine, so he laughed at himself: "I, as a deputy director, cannot compare to Mr. Yang today, and I still dare not ask him to serve..."

This society talks about circles, the industry is a circle, and whether the state or not is a circle. As long as you are in related circles, you always look down and see each other.

Zhao Yicheng not only knew Xiong Wenbin in the past; although he was not very familiar with him, he knew Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng and others very early, and he also had a little affair with Zhou Ming.

Even now, the Municipal Forging Factory still uses broilers exported from Mei Steel, but the purchase volume is not large, mainly purchasing from Yang Haipeng.

For more than a year, Meigang has mainly produced rebar for construction, but it also supplies small amounts of blanks to the outside world.

Mei Steel's export billets have good quality but limited quantity, so dealers such as Yang Haipeng also require cash transactions to supply them to the outside world.

After Zhao Yicheng took over as the factory director, he directly grasped the procurement department with the biggest problems in the past. Usually, when customers have strict quality requirements, they will directly take the blanks from Yang Haipeng. Therefore, despite the lack of debt entanglement, Zhao Yicheng and Yang Haipeng's relationship is still closer than before.

After finally waiting for the debt collector to scatter from the factory, he was in a panic and received a call from Yang Haipeng for a midnight snack. Zhao Yicheng didn't think much about it and rode over there. However, he didn't expect that Yang Haipeng's phone call was originally from the instruction of Chen Huai.

At this time, the boss lady in the rustic dress brought the steaming and fragrant fried lamb liver to the table. Zhao Yicheng picked up a piece of lamb liver and chewed it in his mouth, saying, "It's been several years, and the taste of this lamb liver has not changed..."

Afraid that Chen Huai didn't understand, Yang Haipeng explained specifically: "When Lao Zhao was still the head of the comprehensive planning department in the city forging factory in 1990, Xiao Li's brother Haiwen was still there. Lao Zhao asked Zhao Dong to borrow the equipment of the city steel factory to measure the quality of the blanks. He invited Zhao Dong to drink here at night, and rushed Haiwen and I to get off the middle shift at night and came over to eat mutton. That time we all told Lao Zhao to get drunk..."

Chen Huai smiled. For memories that should no longer belong to him, he could only listen to others' words. Who could imagine that Zhao Yicheng, who was thin and weak, could drink two hot pots of yellow wine without getting drunk, and put him, Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng down together? The deputy section chief of the technical department of the Municipal Forging Factory who came with Zhao Yicheng at that time, Luo Jianguo, who was the deputy director of the Municipal Forging Factory, was a strong man with a back and a waist. Two glasses of yellow wine were in his stomach, and he just drilled the bottom of the table and refused to come out again...

"Four years have passed in a flash. I still remember that a hot water bottle of rice wine costs only two yuan, but now it costs five or six yuan, right? The money is really not enough to spend..." Zhao Yicheng smiled.

"The money was spent at that time. Our salary was less than 200 yuan at that time, and we didn't feel that we were too tight. We could still make a few meals every time we paid. Now it's really not possible..." Yang Haipeng said.

"President Yang sighed in front of me, who should I complain to?" Zhao Yicheng smiled. Although he recalled the past lively with Yang Haipeng, he couldn't figure out the meaning of Chen Huai's appointment tonight.

Zhao Yicheng has no background in the city, but he is still a middle-level cadre at least. He is still aware of any disturbances in the city.

Chen Huai and Meigang have risen like new stars in more than a year. Among the middle and lower-level cadres of Donghua, it is rumored that the reason why Chen Huai was able to run rampant in Meixi Town and even Tangzha District was because he relied on the backstage of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tan Qiping.

However, as long as you are not blind tonight, Zhao Yicheng can still see the indifference and separation of the relationship between Chen Huai and Xiong Wenbin, the direct confidant of the municipal party committee secretary Tan Qiping, and Su Kaiwen, and Liang Xiaolin, executive vice mayor.

Zhao Yicheng did not know too many subtle inside stories, but one fact is clear: yesterday, after the incident of Zhu Youcai's subordinate workers running to Meixi Town to climb a tower crane, it directly led to the outbreak of the debt crisis of the Municipal Forging Factory today. Liang Xiaolin, Xiong Wenbin, and Su Kaiwen agreed to let the Municipal Planning Commission let go, and creditors will lead the reform of the Municipal Forging Factory. At the same time, Mei Gang will acquire the third phase of the debt from other creditors and become the main creditor of the Municipal Forging Factory.

Zhao Yicheng could feel that the outbreak of the debt crisis today was caused by Mei Gang's interference.

Zhao Yicheng had no strong feelings for Chen Huai, but he had no good feelings for him. After all, the situation has developed to this point, which is a condition that the city has to accept the opening of Chen Huai. The city forging factory, including Zhao Yixuan, was just passively accepted in this process.

Moreover, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary gave instructions, and Executive Vice Mayor Liang Xiaolin made a promise to creditors on behalf of the municipal government that the Municipal Forging Factory will be subject to Meigang in terms of operation and system reform in the next two years - this situation is not something that Zhao Yicheng has the ability to change.

He just couldn't understand why, after one hour of separation, Chen Huai couldn't wait to ask Yang Haipeng to drink and talk? What specific requirements does Meigang have for the restructuring of the forging and pressing factory? Isn't it okay to send representatives to discuss with other creditors and directly raise them to the forging and pressing factory?

With two glasses of wine, my body warmed up, and my speech was not as stiff as it started. Chen Huai went straight to the topic and said: "Mei Gang shouldn't be so impatient. At the request of the provincial government, the city and the districts and counties will take out eleven state-owned factories to reorganize. The Municipal Forging Factory and the Xinpu Shipyard belonging to Xiapu County are the two of them. Large factories such as the Municipal Steel Factory have many problems, but the reform of the Municipal Forging Factory should have a conclusion soon. I won't start quickly. When the reform of the Municipal Forging Factory has reached a conclusion, it seems that it will not be so appropriate to intervene..."

Zhao Yicheng nodded and said, "If it hadn't happened today, according to the plan of the Planning Commission, after the Spring Festival, the municipal forging factory would have been reorganized first, and the reorganization plan would have been generally determined. District Mayor Shen, even if you don't ask me to come out for a drink, I will also report to you with the reorganization plan in two days..."

Chen Huai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Director Zhao still has resentment, but if I propose to modify the restructuring plan, I think Director Zhao's resentment may be even greater, so Haipeng asked Director Zhao to come out to drink and get a vaccination first."

"How could it be?" Zhao Yichengcai drank two glasses of wine, and his mind was very clear, and he smiled, "Mei Gang's performance is so dazzling. District Mayor Chen gave guidance on the restructuring of the city's forging factory. I believe that it is all for the purpose of resolving the current situation of the city's forging factory. Even if I don't understand it for a while, how can I feel resentful? I still have this overall view."

"My requirements for the restructuring of the Municipal Forging Factory are very simple. The first step is that all the factory managers will be changed from appointment to employment, and those who disagree will withdraw; the second step is that the management team of the Municipal Forging Factory will come up with a restructuring plan and stage goals that can effectively improve the current situation of the company. The restructuring plan cannot satisfy the creditors or the stage goals are not completed, and the employment contract will be terminated immediately," Chen Huai took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "If I say this, Director Zhao is not resentful either?"

Zhao Yicheng asked wine and mutton to warm his body, and then the cold air came out again.

The state-owned factory starts from 1991. Supplementary cadres can be directly hired from the society, but the mainstream is still directly appointed by the competent department.
