Chapter 52 Lin Family Consensus (Third Update)

  Lin Hongfei, as an undergraduate who had not yet graduated, took on this responsibility at the most difficult time for the motorcycle manufacturing plant in the city. This caused a considerable controversy among the leaders of Beiguan City and the "underground organization ministers" of Beiguan City. The news spread throughout Beiguan City at a speed exceeding that of light, with some people envying him, others worrying about him, and still others gloating over his misfortune. Yet, not one person had any confidence in Lin Hongfei.

  Also, Lin Hongfei is just a "young punk" who hasn't even graduated yet, what makes you qualified to sit in this deputy department-level position? Do you think you can revive the city's motorcycle manufacturing plant? Don't dream about it, so many experienced leaders before haven't been able to do it, and among them are university graduates. You're just a young kid who still smells of milk, how can you be more capable than those respected leaders?

  Who do you think you are?!!

  What makes you think so?!

  Let's not mention the rumors outside, even in Lin Hongfei's home, Duan Yuzhen was very dissatisfied with Lin Hongfei's impulsiveness. In Teacher Duan's opinion, Lin Hongfei agreed to this matter purely because he had lost his mind. Poor Deputy Director Lin had been criticized for two days, and in these two days, Teacher Duan seemed to have not changed her original intention at all. Although the principal had already talked to her, indicating that after careful consideration, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau decided to promote Senior Teacher and Dean of Studies Duan Yuzhen as Deputy Principal, the appointment letter would be issued in a few days, but Teacher Duan was still very unhappy about this.

  "Mom, didn't I tell you? Because the car is my invention, if others do it, they can't grasp it in a short time, and the product quality is unstable. Now our country is in short supply, before it was because the products of our city's motorcycle manufacturing factory were too bad to find sales channels. But look at those good-quality ones, which one isn't the factory working overtime and still can't meet demand? You can rest assured, didn't the municipal government coordinate 200 million yuan from the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank for the factory's technical transformation and equipment upgrading? With this 200 million, as long as the product quality improves, do you still worry about not selling?"

  "That sounds good, but how do you know if the things you produce can be recognized by the market?" Duan Yuzhen hummed and said.

  It is now an absolute seller's market, and Duan Yuzhen knew this. For this point, Duan Yuzhen was actually at ease in her heart. The car invented by her son indeed needed him to be there to take care of it. What Duan Yuzhen worried about was that her son was so young and had no work experience, could he do a good job? In the end, it was still a mother's worry for her son.

  "Mom, look at Liu Kun and Xiao Ling, they treat their car like an ancestor every day, are you still worried about selling the road?"

  Lin Hongfei's words suddenly left Duan Yuzhen speechless.

  Lin Hongfei's hard-earned car was "taken away" by Liu Kun in less than 10 minutes, and it has become a joke in the city's military district. Every day, Liu Dabao takes care of the car more intimately than his own wife, wiping it clean with a soft cloth until it shines. After riding for several days, Liu Kun finally couldn't hold back his excitement and said to Lin Hongfei: "Brother, let's just exchange cars like this. From now on, you can drive my Jeep."

  The car is in someone else's hands, what can he do? Lin Hongfei was helpless and had no choice but to comply.

  Liu Kun, who had finally managed to get his hands on the coveted item, became even more possessive and wouldn't let anyone else touch it except for his wife. Those who eyed the car and wanted to take it for a spin were bluntly rejected by Liu, to the point where Lin Hongfei joked about getting a sticker that read "Car and wife, not for lending".

  "Alright, just say a few less words," Lin Weiguo, who happened to be at home today, was actually quite supportive of Lin Hongfei's decision. Lin Weiguo, who usually had a low status in the family, chimed in, "While he's young, let him go out and try his luck. What's the harm? A kid who doesn't take risks will never mature. Only by learning to take responsibility can one become mature... I think this kid still has some cleverness to him. Who knows, maybe he'll actually make a success of it."

  Lin Hongfei's "cleverness" had already been experienced by Duan Yuzhen, and the fact that her husband's matter could reach this point today was largely thanks to this young man. It is said that the things he stirred up were even highly valued by the top leaders of Shun'geng Military District... Since it was so, the city leaders had also given orders, how could they let their leaders go back on their words? Might as well push the duck onto the shelf. Duan Yuzhen thought to herself, deceiving herself.

  "Exactly," Lin Hongfei chimed in, taking the opportunity to drum up support, "Mom, think about it this way. Since everyone knows that the municipal motorcycle manufacturing factory is a complete mess, I might as well be expected to fail, and there's nothing shameful about that. But what if I'm lucky enough to succeed? Wouldn't that be a huge achievement for the leadership, and wouldn't they look great because of me? Naturally, I'd also benefit from it... not to mention getting that 500,000 yuan in patent fees right now."

  Duan Yuzhen had to admit that, after careful consideration, it was indeed the case. It seemed that she also knew that the factory was difficult to manage, and the city leaders did not give Lin Hongfei a hard target. Things were just as her son said: if they didn't succeed, there wouldn't be any problem; but if they succeeded, they would make a fortune. Especially when Lin Hongfei mentioned the 500,000 yuan patent authorization fee, Duan Yuzhen was left speechless.

  She was originally skeptical, but when Lin Hongfei just took out the passbook with the clear and tidy deposit slip in front of Duan Yuzhen, looking at the five zeros after the 5 on the deposit amount, Duan Yuzhen instantly fell into a petrified state: she had never seen so much money in her life!

  With the 500,000 yuan as backing, Duan Yuzhen thoroughly surrendered and said that no matter how big the sky or earth was, it was not as great as his son's ability to earn money. If his son could make 500,000 yuan, why couldn't he revive the factory? The rumors she had been hearing over the past few days also made her angry. Since Lin Weiguo and Lin Hongfei were both insistent, Duan Yuzhen gave in and said, "You two handle it then! Humph, neither of you is considerate." After that, she clanged the pots and pans loudly in the kitchen.

  The old lady finally passed this level, and Lin Hongfei let out a sigh of relief in his heart: Tomorrow's official appearance, these three fires will burn on whose head?
