Chapter 402 So that’s it
Sister Yin Mei has actually retired according to her age, but not only her, but many other cadres also do not want to retire.

Although they are older, they still need to work hard in their positions for a few more years.

Life never stops, struggle never stops
Although Sister Yin Mei doesn't have this idea, in this society,

In order to follow the trend, she returned to the steel mill and took up the position of women's director.

This position is actually for retirement, and she turned down other positions due to her age and lack of energy.
The key is not Sister Yin Mei, but her husband. He used to be a high-ranking leader in the Ministry of Heavy Industry. Once he rose to power, he became very powerful. There were countless people surrounding their family.

On the contrary, it was Wang Deming who interacted with them in a normal manner from the very beginning, and it was thanks to Wang Deming that the two children were able to study in the Soviet Union.

Learning Russian is only one aspect. What is more valuable is life in the Soviet Union, having someone to greet you during your studies, being able to learn deeper knowledge, and being taken care of in daily life.

More than ten years ago, Wang Deming's family was arranged to move to Hong Kong. Sister Yin Mei asked her husband to inquire around and found out some inside information.

After Wang Deming came back this time, he just wanted to have a simple meal with Yin Mei and the family of Anti-Japanese War and Liberation, and chat about things in Hong Kong.

The siblings He Kangzhan and He Jiefang are already married, with grown-up children. They are now working in their respective positions. This time they received news that the country is preparing to arrange for them to go abroad for inspection.

In their minds, the previous friendship was already a thing of the past, and they only attended the dinner for the sake of their mother's face.

Ever since their father was reinstated, both brother and sister have risen in status, under the pretext that they have experience in local government posts and technical experience, which is more needed.

But Sister Yin Mei was different. She had been a colleague of Wang Deming for a long time and they really had some feelings for each other. After learning that Wang Deming had not been assigned a job since returning from Hong Kong, she asked her husband to help find out the situation.

After all, he was a senior leader of the former Ministry of Heavy Industry. After being reinstated, he was well-informed. Sister Yin Mei ran to Wang Deming as soon as she had any news.

As soon as she entered the room, Yin Mei's first words startled Wang Deming: "Deming, how did you offend Leader Song?"

"Ah? That Leader Song?" Wang Deming was confused.

Yin Mei carefully observed Wang Deming's expression and didn't want to lie, so she gave the answer directly: "Former leader Song from China Resources."

Wang Deming's mind raced, and he was speechless. He spread his hands and said, "Sister, I was assigned to work at China Resources before, working under him at China Resources' company clinic in Hong Kong."

"Except for the initial contact when I reported for duty, I helped Leader Ding import grain later."

"I haven't had any contact with Leader Song before, so how could I have offended him?"

Wang Deming stood up and poured tea for Yin Mei, "Sister, don't worry, please sit down first."

"Where did you hear the news?"

Yin Mei frowned and sat down slowly. "That's strange. I heard from our old He that he originally wanted to arrange you to the Ministry of Industry. After all, our two families have such a deep relationship."

"You have been in Hong Kong for many years. You have a broad vision and can help him."

"But before Lao He could say anything, the higher-ups said they had other plans for you. Lao He didn't take it seriously at first, but when you asked me to connect with the big companies in the 43 plan last time, I felt something was wrong."

"After asking his old comrades, Lao He found out that it was Song who was behind this."

"The key point is, Deming, you haven't offended him, why did he do this?" Yin Mei was puzzled and looked up at Wang Deming.

Wang Deming frowned slightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and asked in confusion: "Sister, I don't understand, why is it wrong to connect with the 43 plan?"

"The 43 Plan was decided by the leaders before. It is especially important for the country's large-scale agriculture and light industry. This job must be very important to be assigned to me, right?"

"Sister, what's going on?"

Yin Mei sighed, "Deming, you have never really worked in the government." She thought for a while and didn't know how to answer.

The room was quiet and the only sound was the whistling of the north wind.

The weather has turned cold these days since I came back, and it is winter in the capital.

Although we have been conserving water and soil and planting trees since liberation, the recovery of forests and trees in North China has not been so fast over the past thousands of years.

Even in Saihanba, there is only a little bit of greenness at the beginning.

When the north wind blows in the capital city in winter, a sandstorm will occur. The sky outside the house is full of gray-brown, just like Yin Mei's mood at this moment, so heavy.

After thinking it over, she asked Wang Deming very subtly: "Deming, have you heard what the leaders say about the domestic economy recently?"

Wang Deming was stunned at first, then nodded heavily. How could he not know? Although he didn’t buy a TV, he still had the semiconductor at home, and he would turn it on to listen to the news when he had nothing to do.

"Tsk." Wang Deming couldn't help but sneer. With the confidence he had today, he could speak freely. "Sister, that's not how you tell lies."

"Just one foot, the country announced that it would increase the wages of all workers, and the next foot, it said that the domestic economy is not doing well."

“That doesn’t make sense!”

“We don’t know what they are thinking, but,” Wang Deming said with a gleam of lightning, “if that’s the case, the public will still have sharp eyes when the information is unsealed.”

Yin Mei smiled bitterly, but she still tried to persuade Wang Deming: "Deming, we are the only two sisters at home today. You can say this, but don't tell anyone else outside this room."

Wang Deming smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not stupid."

Yin Mei nodded and sighed again, "Ah, Deming, so you know why I said it's a thankless job for you to do, right?"

"Moreover, there are so many large projects with so much funding, and now the project leaders and technical leaders have been replaced for various reasons. As far as I know, these projects are now at a standstill."

“Now some people disagree with independence and self-reliance.”

Wang Deming smiled, "Sister, this is why I came back!"

"These projects are beneficial to the country and the people. The sooner they can be completed, the sooner the country can benefit."

Wang Deming was full of confidence, "Sister, as long as it's a matter of money, it's not a problem."
