Chapter 400 Looking for Him
After Qingming Festival.

Those invisible undercurrents are still surging.

No one knows the circumstances and results of the handling of Yuan Qingsen and a series of other people, but the Jiangchuan area seems to have ushered in a new situation. Yang Jiarong has taken over Yuan Qingsen's position and became the actual person in charge of Jiangchuan. The province also held two large-scale meetings in Jiangchuan covering the entire southern Hunan area.

The first meeting was the "Provincial State-owned Enterprise Property Rights System Reform Promotion Meeting and Jiangchuan Model On-site Exchange Meeting".

The meeting was held in Jiangchuan City and lasted only one day, but it was of an exceptionally high level and very grand. Hu Xianxun led the province's major cadres to sit on the main stage. The main officials of 13 prefecture-level cities and one autonomous prefecture in southern Hunan Province, led the main leaders of 1 urban districts, 36 county-level cities and 19 counties to attend the meeting.

After Hu Xianxun and others delivered their speeches, Yang Jiarong, who had not appeared for many days, took the stage. He gave a comprehensive introduction to Jiangchuan City’s work and remarkable achievements in the reform of the state-owned enterprise property rights system in recent years.

That day, many large media outlets from the city, province and even the whole country came. A few days later, Yang Jiarong was on CCTV News and was interviewed by CCTV reporters.

For a time, Yang Jiarong was the most famous person in the world.

With the support of Hu Xianxun, he and the "Jiangchuan Model" he promoted took off in Jiangchuan and have stood the test of time. Now, riding on the momentum of the tax-sharing reform, it is finally about to step onto the historical stage of the entire southern Hunan region.

This will have a far-reaching impact on the future reform of state-owned enterprises in the entire southern Hunan region and even the entire country. However, Zhang Yunqi, the designer of this model, did not realize this at the beginning. He just wanted to do some practical things and solve some problems based on the situation in Jiangchuan at that time.

The second session was the "Provincial on-site exchange meeting on expanding rural collective property rights system reform and strengthening collective economy."

The meeting was held at the Cultural Center of Yunxi Village, Fengyang County, Jiangchuan City. Although the higher-ups wanted Zhang Yunqi to attend, and the previous meeting involving the reform of the state-owned enterprise property rights system also required him to attend and give a keynote speech as a guest speaker, he did not attend. After experiencing some things in recent years, he is now less and less willing to be in the limelight. As for those media reporters holding a pen and making all kinds of stories for him, he can only let Liansheng's public relations fight. He has no energy to manage it. All he can do is stay away. It is true that the higher you praise someone, the harder he falls.

On the surface, this incident was a problem between him and Gao Shan, but in fact, it was a structural contradiction between Yuan Qingsen and Yang Jiarong. If Yuan Qingsen wanted to compete with Yang Jiarong, he had to attack the "Jiangchuan model", and to attack the "Jiangchuan model" he had to use Zhang Yunqi as a target.

Zhang Yunqi can defend against Gao Shan, but can he defend against Yuan Qingsen?

By that time, Li Jilin and Wang Guibing had both been released. After this disaster, the brothers had no time to sit down and have a meal to lament the impermanence of life. Wang Guibing was sent by Zhang Yunqi to cooperate with Hu Zhibiao to speed up the VCD player project. During the time when Zhang Yunqi was in prison, there were big problems with the acquisition of the video player factory. Li Jilin, as the general manager of Liansheng Group, was the keynote speaker at that important meeting in Yunxi Village. He went on stage to deliver a keynote report entitled "Detailed Explanation of the "Yunxi Experience" in Rural Collective Property Rights System Reform".

The meeting was also of high standard, with the Provincial Department of Agriculture taking the lead, and representatives from major cities and counties, relevant financial institutions and other units attending the meeting. The participants visited Huafeng Agriculture, Longjingyuan Agricultural Industrial Park, Yunxi Village Joint-Stock Cooperative, and breeding production bases.

Under the strong support of Hu Xianxun, these two large-scale conferences basically framed the basic ideas for the reform of state-owned enterprises and rural collective land reform in southern Hunan. Since then, the "Jiangchuan Model" and "Yunxi Experience" created by Zhang Yunqi have become two reform business cards of Jiangchuan City in the 90s.

At that time, Zhang Yunqi had already returned to school.

Anyway, compared to those tiring dirty things in society, it is still more fun to play with the little fools in school.

In fact, he had such a big incident some time ago, and the school had done its best by not expelling him. Although now the situation has taken a turn for the better, and the major media in the province and the city have given him red and colorful clothes, and pasted all kinds of shameless glorious deeds on his face, packaging him as a promising young entrepreneur of the new era, but when he walks on the road in the school, the rate of turning back is only about 95%. The main reason is that there are not many beautiful women, and there is still some room for improvement. When walking through the campus path and coming to the corridor of their class, Zhang Yunqi saw the little silly boy Liu Zicheng in the class, who was going shopping with Zou Xueqing on the weekend.

Zou Xueqing said with embarrassment: "I have something to do this weekend, how about next time?"

"Okay, then we'll do it next time." Liu Zicheng had his signature dog-licking smile on his face and watched Zou Xueqing disappear at the classroom door with her round butt swaying.

"We are all adults now. You should understand that the next time will be Monday, the next day will be the 32nd, and the day after that will be forever." Zhang Yunqi put his arm around Liu Zicheng's shoulders.

Liu Zicheng didn't react: "Is there a Monday?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Yes, in your dream tonight."

Liu Zicheng's face immediately fell, and his fragile boyish heart was broken.

Zhang Yunqi smiled. Liu Zicheng had been chasing Li Yufei since he first met her. At that time, Li Yufei was the school beauty of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and the number of lickers behind her was as high as a reinforced platoon. Naturally, Liu Zicheng couldn't catch up with her. Later, he kept shifting his target and lowering his standards. When he was about to graduate from the third year of high school, he still hadn't bought a watch that could drill into the woods. He felt sorry for this little fool.

Liu Zicheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother, you've had a lot of trouble recently. I saw the news about Liansheng Group in the newspapers. When you were in prison, my dad wanted to take the factory workers to the streets."

"It's just a small matter, it's all over. Thank your dad for me. I have to go to class." Liu Zicheng and Zhang Yunqi didn't get along well before, but now he kneels down under Zhang Yunqi's jeans. Liu Zicheng's father used to be the leader of Longjingyuan Canning Factory, and now he is the deputy general manager of the raw material supply division of Liansheng Group, working in Longjingyuan Agricultural Industrial Park.

Liu Zicheng followed Zhang Yunqi and said, "By the way, when you went in, Chu Jian was very worried about you. She was always alone and silent. There happened to be a mock exam at that time. Her grades dropped a lot that time. It seemed that she fell out of the top ten in the whole school. The head teacher and the grade group leader talked to her. I heard from Yu Qingqing that once in class, when our head teacher talked about a poem by Xin Qiji, she saw Chu Jian secretly crying."

"What word?"

"I don't remember the lyrics, but there's one line that I remember very well: um, I searched for him among the crowd for a thousand times, and when I turned around, I saw um, um, um..."

Zhang Yunqi didn't respond and pushed the door open and walked into the classroom.

At that time, the bell for class had already rung and the classroom was quiet. Chu Jian, wearing a ponytail, a white cotton skirt and white socks, sat on a chair, staring out the window in a daze.

The warm slanting light of spring shone on the clean desks, and the creepers outside the window grew wantonly. It was a late spring afternoon. Chu Jian, who was in a daze, heard the voice, turned his head, and saw Zhang Yunqi.

She pursed her lips and just smiled like a good girl.
