Ying Annie's words surprised Song Yuanchao. He didn't expect Ying Annie to tell him this and make such suggestions.

"Didn't you just say that you were out of place with those Westerners when you were in the United States? Why did you suddenly give me this suggestion?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.

"Life is life, career is career, and some things have to be admitted. If I like it just in life, I like it here, and it makes me feel close to home, which is incomparable to the United States. But from the perspective of career, there are more opportunities there and better development prospects." Ying Annie replied frankly.

Song Yuanchao nodded, he did not deny this. From the current market, foreign countries are far more mature than domestic, and have better development platforms.

However, there are still shortcomings in Ying Annie's opinion. Although she had good intentions, Song Yuanchao still refused directly.

"Why? Brother Song, do you think working in a company today is not as good as working in a multinational company?" Ying Annie was a little surprised.

"I never planned to go out. I just said that even if I want to go out, I will only have the opportunity to go and see it in the future." Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "Although abroad is good, the country is not bad. From the current point of view, there is a big gap between them, but everything is in development and change."

"Since the country implemented the reform and opening-up policy a few years ago, everything in China has changed rapidly, and everything is developing in a positive direction. Now it is indeed backward in many aspects, not as developed as foreign countries, but it also has its advantages. Our country is a country with a vast land and a vast country with the largest population in the world. Don't you think this is a very huge potential market?"

"In this market, everything is developing rapidly, and the results it has shown are very great. In the next ten years... twenty years... thirty years... or even longer, this country will surely shock the whole world at an astonishing rate of development."

"This era is an era of change, and the next era may be the era of China!" Song Yuanchao said this with a very confident attitude. In his eyes, Ying Annie saw firmness and a kind of belief.

"You are a business student, right?" Song Yuanchao asked Annie.

Ying Annie nodded, and Song Yuanchao immediately talked to her about some business issues. Song Yuanchao studied economy in college, and economy and business belong to the same category. They have a lot of common language in this regard. Moreover, Song Yuanchao has the outstanding vision and judgment from a business perspective that people of this era do not have. With his narration and discussion, Ying Annie's eyes when she looked at Song Yuanchao were more and more surprised.

Ying Annie had to admit that Song Yuanchao's judgments and assumptions in many aspects were very reasonable, and that the judgment on the prospects of domestic development was not just formal boastful, and had a real judgment that combined theory and practice.

At first, Ying Annie was a little regretful for Song Yuanchao, thinking that a talent like him was a waste of working in this company. He should have a larger platform and a better opportunity to display his ambitions. Now she is more determined by this idea and feels that Song Yuanchao should not continue to stay in Nandu with his ability and vision.

However, Song Yuanchao was unwilling to go abroad, and Ying Annie also saw this. She knew that she could not persuade Song Yuanchao because she was somewhat convinced during the conversation between Song Yuanchao and her. The huge domestic market and the rapid development opportunities allowed Ying Annie to understand the situation in the country from another aspect. As a graduate of Ivy League University in the United States, she has the right judgment and ability to think about problems.

The conversation that night did not last long, and Song Yuanchao didn't take it to heart. He just thought that Ying Annie was just out of good intentions, so he rejected Ying Annie's suggestion and talked to her briefly and threw this matter behind his mind.

A few days later, Ying Annie ended her trip to Jinling. The day she left, Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang took time to see her off.

After leaving Jinling, Ying Annie took the train from Jinling to Shanghai, and then took a plane from Shanghai to Xiangjiang directly. She would meet Ying Caixia in Xiangjiang.

Although her days in Jinling were not long, she left a deep impression on her, especially the two young people in front of her, which made her feel a lot more.

In addition, the parting was filled with a calm sadness. Although Sun Yaoliang forced himself to smile and pretended to be nothing, neither Song Yuanchao nor Ying Annie himself could feel his reluctance.

On the platform, Ying Annie once again thanked Song Yuanchao for his care and help these days. Then she looked at Sun Yaoliang, who was reluctant to leave. She smiled and said to Song Yuanchao that she wanted to say a few words to Sun Yaoliang alone. Song Yuanchao was happy when she heard this, so naturally she would not refuse. She walked to the side alone and took out the cigarette and started smoking.

A few minutes later, a whistle urging passengers to board the bus began to sound. Song Yuanchao then returned to the entrance of the car and helped Ying Annie deliver her luggage to the car. When the train slowly started, he waved his hand to say goodbye to Ying Annie, who was poking her head out of the window. Sun Yaoliang, who was beside him, waved his arms even harder. When the train drove out of the platform, Sun Yaoliang ran forward with the train for a while until the train left the distance.

"Stop looking, Annie is leaving..." Looking at the train that was leaving, Song Yuanchao patted Sun Yaoliang on the shoulder.

Sun Yaoliang nodded, looking a little disappointed, but it was much better than Song Yuanchao imagined.

"What did she say to you before she left?" Song Yuanchao asked curiously, but he didn't expect that as soon as he asked, Sun Yaoliang's face turned red and his expression was unnatural: "No... nothing... it's just an ordinary farewell..."

As he spoke, Sun Yaoliang's left hand, which clenched the fist, unnaturally put it in his pocket. There was a small note inside. This note was left to him by Annie, with her contact information in the United States. Thinking of this, Sun Yaoliang felt sad and hope and courage.

Song Yuanchao did not ask any more questions, but he saw the answer he wanted on Sun Yaoliang's slightly red face. He smiled and called Sun Yaoliang to leave. After leaving the train station, Sun Yaoliang went directly to the sales company, while Song Yuanchao went to the Nandu General Factory because he was going to hold a factory meeting today.

The Gu Changjun delayed the Song Aiding Korea for a few days, but what should be coming will always come. Today, the factory meeting was officially held.

The proportion of people attending this meeting is often smaller. In addition to Jiang Dahai, Gu Ping, Gu Changjun, Xiang Xianrong, Fu Qinghong, Shi Manlin and Song Yuanchao, there were two other middle-level cadres, one was Chief Tang of the Labor and Capital Department, and the other was Chief Liu of the Supply and Marketing Department.

No other departments and workshops participated. After all, the theme of the factory-run meeting today is about the supply and marketing department and sales company, so this is a small-scale factory-run meeting. The participants are all factory leaders. Liu, the chief of the supply and marketing department, attended as an affiliated department for the meeting content, and the Labor and Capital Department participated as a personnel department.

Sitting down according to their respective positions, Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping soon entered the conference room.

"Lao Gu, how are you doing? Are you okay now?" Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Dahai did not announce the meeting immediately, but instead greeted Gu Changjun beside him with a cordial greeting.

"Thank you Secretary Dahai for your concern. I'm an old problem, it's no big deal." Gu Changjun nodded with a smile.

"We should pay attention to maintaining it. Old problems have always been very troublesome. The seasons change easily and recur. We are all older people, not as good as when we were young."

Jiang Dahai's words resonated with many people. Everyone said it was indeed the case with a smile. When they were young, they didn't think that some problems gradually emerged when they got older. They each told them some tips and experiences about daily maintenance. For a time, the factory meeting was not officially held, but instead became a tea party for middle-aged and elderly people to discuss health.

After a while of laughter, Jiang Dahai and everyone were almost done and then coughed twice and announced that the meeting had officially begun.

After the meeting began, Jiang Dahai first talked about the operating conditions of Nandu this quarter and talked about some aspects of the production and sales of the general factory.

Due to the summer reasons this quarter, many workshops in Nandu General Factory have holidays, so the overall output and sales have dropped a lot compared to other periods. However, this is normal. After all, this is the case every summer, and everyone knows this.

But when talking about this, Jiang Dahai specifically mentioned the current situation of the first branch factory. He told everyone that as the total factory's output and sales decline in summer, the first branch factory is constantly setting new records.

According to the production and sales amount submitted by the first branch, the products of the first branch reached an unprecedented height last month to this month, which was the highest peak of the first branch from the establishment of the first branch. At the same time, the sales of the first branch was also very good, with sales steadily increasing, breaking through the historical highest, which is inseparable from Song Yuanchao's efforts.

Speaking of this, Jiang Dahai took the lead in applauding, looking at Song Yuanchao with relief and praise. While Jiang Dahai applauded, the others also applauded enthusiastically. Many people looked at Song Yuanchao with different eyes. Among them, Gu Changjun showed as calm as usual, but there was a smile on his lips. Factory director Gu Ping showed a very appreciative expression, nodding slightly to Song Yuanchao while applauding.

As for the others, there was more or less some admiration, only Shi Manlin, who was not in dealing with Song Yuanchao, had obviously been perfunctory. He looked at Song Yuanchao with some ridicule and gloating.

Amid the applause, Song Yuanchao stood up and bowed to everyone, saying that he had just done the work he should do. These achievements were not just his personal, but mainly achieved with the help of all the leaders and the comrades below.

Although the first branch has achieved some results, these results are not a reason to be proud. Compared with other factories, especially several large domestic factories, the first branch will have a long way to go in the future, and there are still many shortcomings that require everyone to work together.
