Chapter 310 Feelings
The sky was exceptionally clear that day.

After school, Zhang Yunqi went to visit Li Jilin's home.

Zhang Yunqi had never been to Li Jilin's house. As his right-hand man, Li Jilin was in charge of all matters big and small in Liansheng. In fact, it involved many specific affairs of the cannery. His ability was not as good as Li Jilin who had been working in this industry for more than 20 years. There was no reason for him not to go to the dinner this time.

Li Yufei's house is not big, but it is decorated in a high style and has all kinds of furniture. Zhang Yunqi feels that it is not a wealthy family, but it is exquisite and warm. On the surface, it looks like an enviable happy family.

Zhang Yunqi knew something about Li Yufei's family situation. Li Yufei's grandparents were both retired cadres from the province, and their positions were not very clear. Her mother Xie Jing was currently teaching at the Affiliated High School of Xiangnan Normal University, which was one of the four famous schools in southern Hunan and was more impressive than Jiangchuan No. 1 High School.

In Zhang Yunqi's memory, Xie Jing transferred from Jiangchuan in the early spring of this year. At that time, Li Jilin and Xie Jing seemed to have a conflict because of this matter. Xie Jing did not want him to continue to work in Longjingyuan, and planned to move the whole family to the provincial capital Lijin City to live, and even wanted to transfer Li Yufei to the Affiliated High School of Xiangnan Normal University to study in high school. However, Li Yufei and her father did not agree in the end. Fortunately, the provincial capital Lijin is not far from Jiangchuan City, and Xie Jing often comes back during holidays.

When Zhang Yunqi arrived at Longjing Garden, Li Jilin had already bought the vegetables. The grown man was wearing an apron and washing, cutting and cooking vegetables in the kitchen. He was so busy at work that he probably seldom cooked.

After Zhang Yunqi and Li Yufei entered the house, they stood at the door and called out "Uncle Li".

"School is over, Yufei, you chat with Yunqi first, the food will be ready soon." Since they were having a private meal at home, and Zhang Yunqi called him Uncle Li, Li Jilin didn't have the nerve to call Zhang Yunqi boss.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li." Zhang Yunqi was not polite at all. He changed into cotton slippers and went to sit in the living room with Li Yufei.

Li Yufei put down her pink schoolbag, turned on the TV, and took a drink from the refrigerator. She walked briskly and brought out a bunch of snacks that girls like. Finally, she said, "Yunqi, I'll help my dad. If he cooks by himself, you don't know when you'll have anything to eat."

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll just watch TV for a while." Zhang Yunqi agreed and opened a bag of watermelon seeds.

Li Yufei smiled and turned to go to the kitchen, but after a while, she came out of the kitchen again. Zhang Yunqi asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yufei sat on the sofa with her slender legs crossed, her hands cupping her delicate chin, her long, soft, straight hair flowing around her ears and down to her chest, the sun shining through the window onto her face, as bright as a painting: "My dad asked me to chat with you, my distinguished guest."

Zhang Yunqi laughed: "What are you talking about?"

"It doesn't seem right to let a girl like me find topics to chat about." Li Yufei pouted her lips, which was rare for her. Her little face looked particularly pretty under the light.

Zhang Yunqi cracked melon seeds and laughed: "That can't be helped. I'm the honored guest today, so I have to be a bit cool."

"Cold? What is cold?"

"Just like you usually do to the boys in our school."

Li Yufei held her chin with her pretty face and said with great interest: "What do you boys think of me at school?"

Zhang Yunqi had a lot of metaphors in his mind, but he couldn't say them out loud. He smiled and said, "It's hard for me to say this. Just think about how Liu Zicheng sees you, and you will know how other boys in the school see you."

"That doesn't sound like a good thing to say."

"How could that be?" Zhang Yunqi took a water chestnut from the plate. He hadn't eaten this for many years. In fact, there are water chestnuts by the riverside of Yunxi Village, but they are delicious but difficult to peel. Li Yufei handed him a knife, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I saw your car yesterday."

Zhang Yunqi asked, "In front of the cannery?"

Li Yufei hummed softly.

Zhang Yunqi didn't quite understand what Li Yufei meant: "I saw you too."

Li Yufei thought for a moment and asked, "Have you met Gao Ming?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "We met at the school gate. It's been three days since we last met. I feel that he has changed a lot. It's rare. It seems that the American devils' place is not that bad. They can support people."

Li Yufei was stunned by these words. She looked at Zhang Yunqi who was peeling water chestnuts while talking. His tone was calm, without any negative emotions about the past grudges. It seemed that he was just teasing the changes in a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. This was too unexpected for her.

Zhang Yunqi peeled a water chestnut and handed it to Li Yufei. Seeing that she was staring at him without saying a word, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yufei took the water chestnut and stuffed it into her mouth. Her mouth was bulging with a bright smile: "It's nothing, it's delicious."

While the two were chatting, Li Jilin fiddled in the kitchen for a long time and finally prepared the meal.

Three people sat at the table. Li Jilin prepared five dishes and a soup, which were enough and his cooking skills were pretty good. The sweet and sour spare ribs and steamed sea bass were not thick but exquisite. He also opened a bottle of red wine.

Li Yufei seemed to be in a good mood and drank some wine. Her father Li Jilin did not stop her but only asked her to drink less.

After a few clinking glasses, Li Jilin, who was not very good at drinking, was already a little dizzy. Originally, this was a family dinner and business should not be discussed, but he still couldn't help asking, "I don't know if I should ask this question. Now that the Longjingyuan Canning Factory is on the right track, last year you had already settled in Yunxi Village and built a supply chain system. In fact, the ultimate goal is to relocate the Longjingyuan Canning Factory to a new location so as to firmly control this piece of high-quality land resources, right?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled, put down his chopsticks and said, "There is nothing I should or shouldn't ask. Many people think that the old Longjingyuan factory area is in such a good location that it would be a waste if it is not developed into commercial real estate. In fact, this idea is too short-sighted and has no pattern. Since Longjingyuan is the first pilot state-owned enterprise reform, while it continues to grow and develop, it has to play the role of a pioneer and guide the direction for Mayor Yang Jiarong to rectify the city's state-owned enterprises."

Zhang Yunqi continued, "Uncle Li, when Yang Jiarong hosted us last time, I told you that by setting up a state-owned holding company to carry out mixed ownership reform, once a few enterprises are revitalized, the factory sites can be gradually relocated, and the municipal government can then firmly control the city's high-quality land resources. After obtaining high-quality land resources, while avoiding blind development of commercial real estate, the value of the land can be maximized, and various professional markets can be developed according to local conditions. By then, the assets of the state-owned holding company will grow rapidly. Even if some of the previous subsidiaries fail in operation, the city will be able to turn its guns around and clean up the mess at this time."

Zhang Yunqi continued, "The current property rights reform of Longjing Garden is a standard model. Although the employees have some complaints, Longjing Garden has actually achieved this step of obtaining high-quality land resources. They may make a fuss, but Uncle Li, don't forget that in addition to Longjing Garden's new industrial park in Yunxi Village, we also have 46 canning factories that will be contracted and operated. Those who go to the new industrial park will have their salaries increased, and those who cannot go can be arranged to work in the 46 contracted canning factories, and then we will select people from these 46 canning factories to go to the new industrial park."

Li Jilin couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "This is a good idea. I didn't expect that you and Mayor Yang had this consideration when you first proposed to contract and operate the city's cannery. Now that the employees have a place to go, they can't make trouble anymore."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "After settling the employees and obtaining the high-quality land, the next step is the second step. My idea is actually very simple. I want to transform the old factory area of ​​Longjingyuan and build the first night market in Jiangchuan City. In this way, while realizing the value of the land, it can also create opportunities for a large number of laid-off workers to re-employ, thereby alleviating the increasingly serious problem of redundant staff to a certain extent, and boosting the consumption power and real economy of Jiangchuan City."

After hearing these words, Li Jilin, who didn't have a good alcohol tolerance, felt a warmth rising in his chest. His previous doubts were swept away, and he picked up a glass of wine and drank with Zhang Yunqi.

In fact, as early as when Liansheng acquired Longjingyuan, he knew that Zhang Yunqi was a pragmatic person, steady, not impetuous, and not lacking in foresight. On many issues, he seemed to be born to see farther and more thoroughly than others. But at this moment, these excellent qualities seemed insignificant in Li Jilin's eyes, because he felt a sense of responsibility in the young man in front of him.
