Going North Home

Chapter 35: Heading North Home

After receiving the document, Lin Chenran examined it carefully. It was a contract for cooperation with the Second Textile Factory.

The corners of his lips turned up slightly in a smile. He then handed the contract to Wu Changqing and said with a smile, "Director Wu, this is the cooperation contract between our two factories. Please take a look and see if there are any issues."

Lin Chenran continued, "If there are no problems, you can sign your name directly. If there are any issues, feel free to raise them at any time."

Wu Changqing nodded in agreement.

Then, he and several other high-ranking officials from the Second Textile Factory carefully reviewed each clause in the contract.

Meanwhile, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun sat quietly on the side, leisurely drinking hot tea and waiting for the other party's feedback.

Time ticked by, and soon after, Wu Changqing and the others finally finished reviewing the contract.

Their faces were beaming with satisfaction, as they had not found any loopholes or unreasonable points during the entire process.

The cooperation between the two parties was entirely based on equality and mutual benefit, with every detail carefully considered to ensure the full protection of both parties' interests.

Next, Wu Changqing asked for the opinions of the executives around him, and everyone expressed their approval of the contract.

Thus, Wu Changqing signed his name on the contract without hesitation and solemnly affixed the seal of the Second Textile Factory.

Seeing this, Lin Chenran smiled and extended a hand. "Director Wu, happy cooperation!"

Wu Changqing reached out and shook his hand firmly. "Happy cooperation!"

Originally, Wu Changqing had planned to invite Lin Chenran and the other high-ranking officials from the 077 Machinery Military Factory to a lavish celebratory meal for their cooperation.

However, Lin Chenran declined, citing busy factory affairs.

Lin Chenran: "Everyone, no need to be so formal. We'll have plenty of banquets in the future."

"The cooperation between our two factories will continue indefinitely."

"Right now, the 077 Machinery Military Factory has too many matters to arrange, and we also need to figure out how to open up the international speculator route, so..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changqing didn't insist further. After all, they had just signed the contract, and it was normal for the 077 Machinery Military Factory to be busy with various matters.

However, he still said, "It's settled then, we'll have banquets often in the future."

Lin Chenran nodded.

He then led the high-ranking officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory to leave the Second Textile Factory.

Wu Changqing, along with the executives of the Second Textile Factory, watched them leave from the main gate.

Holding the cooperation contract, Wu Changqing was filled with emotion.

This cooperation with the 077 Machinery Military Factory was of great significance to the Second Textile Factory.

It would not only usher in a new era for the Second Textile Factory but, more importantly, provide new development opportunities.

077 Machinery Military Factory

After three days of rest and preparation, Lin Chenran decided to head to the capital first to visit his grandfather.

He planned to discuss matters concerning "international speculators" with his grandfather.

After "getting the green light" from his grandfather, Lin Chenran would continue north to the powerful Bear Country.

As soon as he stepped out of the airport, Lin Chenran felt a familiar aura wash over him.

The scene before him brought a smile to his face, and his heart was filled with joy.

This was a place he was familiar with; every street and every building felt so warm and familiar.

Despite his tight schedule, he felt incredibly relaxed and happy at this moment.

Just then, Lin Chenran suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

"Brother Yi!"

Lin Chenran exclaimed in surprise and quickly walked towards the figure, waving his arm to signal his presence.

At the same time, He Yi, hearing Lin Chenran's call, also walked quickly towards him.

"Brother Yi!"

"Little Lin!"

Both of them appeared exceptionally excited.

It turned out that the person called Brother Yi was He Yi, Old Master Lin's personal bodyguard.

"Brother Yi, why are you at the airport?"

Lin Chenran asked curiously.

"The Leader specifically instructed me this morning to pick you up at the airport and take you home," He Yi replied calmly.

"Pick me up?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Lin Chenran's face.

"Doesn't Old Master Lin hate the misuse of official vehicles the most?"

Lin Chenran pondered inwardly.

"Yes, I was quite surprised at the time."

"This is the first time the Leader has made an exception for you."

He Yi's voice carried a hint of emotion.

In fact, when he received Old Master Lin's order, his heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Because according to past practice, Old Master Lin had always opposed using official vehicles for private matters.

However, this time was an exception.

He Yi looked at Lin Chenran before him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After all, this was the first time Old Master Lin had made an exception, letting him use an official car to pick up Lin Chenran.

"Brother Yi, how about I find my own way back? I don't feel right taking an official car."

Lin Chenran felt he couldn't let his own grandfather make an exception because of him.

He Yi, who had always been stern and unsmiling, suddenly showed a hint of a smile: "The Leader anticipated your anticipation."

"Get in the car!"

"The Leader is waiting for you at home, he has something to ask you."

He Yi said calmly.

"Alright then!"

Following that, Lin Chenran and He Yi walked together for a while before arriving in front of a Hongqi Automobile with a "Military Plate" attached.

After Lin Chenran and He Yi got into the car, the driver quickly started the vehicle and drove towards their destination.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was relaxed and pleasant, and they chatted about some trivial matters.

Time flew by. In less than an hour, the car had smoothly stopped at the entrance of the Compound that Lin Chenran had been thinking about.

This Compound was located in the city center, with a quiet environment and lush green trees. It was where the official bigwigs of Yan Country often lived, with strict security measures and many guard posts set up around.

As soon as he entered the Compound, Lin Chenran felt a familiar aura wash over him.

This was where he had lived as a child, and every corner held his fond memories.

He took a deep breath, feeling the familiar scent filling the air, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Upon returning home, Lin Chenran saw Old Master Lin, dressed in a military uniform, looking spirited, his face beaming with a kind smile.

"Grandpa!" Lin Chenran strode forward and walked up to Old Master Lin.

"Haha, my good grandson, you're finally back!" The old master stood up with a hearty laugh and patted Lin Chenran's shoulder.

After a brief exchange, the old master led Lin Chenran into the study.

The study was filled with books, and the walls were adorned with calligraphy of "Serve the People." The old master sat at the desk and motioned for Lin Chenran to sit down as well.

"Although I am in the capital, I am fully aware of what you have been doing at the 077 Machinery Military Factory."

"Little Lin, you're doing quite well at the 077 Machinery Military Factory."

As soon as they sat down, Old Master Lin began to praise him directly.
