Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 507 is absolutely worth fighting for.

"Sit still, you're spitting all over my face!"

Li Xiu pushed his face away and sat further away.

What's the brat getting so worked up about? Yanli has already spoken up, how could she not help?

Although the letter only told her to inquire about the policies in Kyoto and see when the fastest application could be approved, could she just reply with a few cold words?

"Don't worry, our country's economic development needs to follow the principle of 'collective unified management and planning-led directives,' and your uncle can't give them any shortcuts."

If Chen Ping really wants to do this, she should just produce a business plan. Someone will naturally review and approve it, and getting it approved in compliance with regulations shouldn't be too difficult.

Of course, this is just what she said on the surface; we'll have to wait until she goes back to her parents' home to ask her older brother for more details.

If we can provide support and make special arrangements, that would be ideal. It's the end of April now, and the new silkworms have already started hatching. If things go quickly enough, this can be done this year.

However, she still had a question: "Isn't Chen Ping working in a textile factory in Weinan, Shaanxi Province? How could she have thought of helping Yanli and the others develop the production brigade's economy?"

She asked Chu Yunting, who simply shook his head. He had only just learned about it and had no idea why.

Li Xiu looked down on his foolishness. She had been too appreciative of him before, but now she found him naive.

"What do you know? Isn't that your boyfriend? You know nothing. What use are you?"

Chu Yunting was about to burst into tears. Long-distance relationships are already tough enough, but being criticized by her own mother on top of that is just too painful.

Chu Xin was able to guess some of it.

"It must have been Chen Ping who offered to help."

Chen Ping has a large family to support, and even if she were to work wholeheartedly in the factory until she had children, she might not be able to fulfill that responsibility.

When she was in Su Province, she got along well with Aunt Yanli. The two of them spent all their time together, and they were always tinkering with needles and thread.

In Gansu Province, many people raise silkworms, but most of them raise a small amount for their own use to weave cloth. The amount is not large and it is considered compliant with regulations.

If you want to sell them for money, you have to hand them over to the supply and marketing cooperative through the production brigade; individuals are not allowed to trade them privately.

The reason Lu Hu bought so much silk on the black market was to take pity on the people and give them money for food.

Chen Ping must have heard about these things from Aunt Yanli, so she thought of using her position at the textile factory to help the Huaniuzhai brigade set up the silk supply factory. This way, many people would have an extra job to earn work points, and their lives wouldn't be so difficult.

Silkworm breeding and silk spinning can be developed into a complete industry chain, benefiting more people.

By taking the lead, Chen Ping not only helped others but also demonstrated her abilities and value to the leaders of their textile factory. If she did well, she might even be promoted.

"Aunt Yanli must really want to open this factory, otherwise she wouldn't have specially prepared so many clothes to send over. It shows their confidence in their skills and also shows their goodwill towards us."

Chu Xin meant that as long as it was legal, compliant, and in line with national conditions, she would help if she could.

Li Xiu nodded; she agreed as well.

Moreover, since her older brother was in charge of this, she knew more about it.

Due to the national circumstances, textile raw materials such as cotton and silkworm cocoons were subject to "unified purchase and sale," with the state purchasing and distributing them to state-owned textile factories. Family handicrafts were strictly restricted, and the channels for obtaining raw materials were cut off, leading to the shrinkage of the private textile industry.

This resulted in the national textile production plan being entirely determined by the National Commission for Discipline Inspection, rather than being driven by market demand.

This leads to raw material shortages, insufficient market vitality, technological stagnation, and unbalanced development, resulting in the textile industry being in a state of planned supply where "supply cannot meet demand" for a long time, which is unhealthy.

If Huaniuzhai Brigade can get it going, other brigades can too, and then it can be implemented in other areas as well, which can be considered as relieving her elder brother's worries.

"I'll consult with others first, you all wait."

Although Chu Yunting was a bit irritable, he had no choice but to accept it. This matter really required his mother to step in, since in his uncle's eyes he was just an unreliable brat.

"Then you'd better hurry up."

Li Xiu picked up the cloth shoes she had made for the old man and lightly patted him, scolding him playfully, "Do you even need to tell me that!"

That's not just her good friend's entrustment, but also the entrustment of her future daughter-in-law. How could she hold her back?

The matter will definitely be taken care of, that's just how I feel... As the future mother-in-law, Li Xiu had mixed feelings.

Everyone says that sons will forget their mothers after they get married. She hasn't even reached that point yet, and her son is already like this?

Chu Yunting was unaware that his mother was showing signs of "fear of marriage" in him. After receiving her assurance, he happily went to look through his clothes.

Chu Xin chuckled inwardly as she watched the mother and son, whose joys and sorrows were not in sync. Fortunately, Li Xiu had a good personality and didn't cause trouble; otherwise, with Chu Yunting's personality, Chen Ping would never have been able to enter this family.

After having dinner at home, the two returned to the Special Branch, bringing along a bunch of clothes for Zhou Yichen and Zhou Wen.

"Who came up with this idea? They're willing to go to all the trouble of preparing clothes for everyone."

Chu Yunting was driving, muttering to himself. He would never admit that he was a little annoyed.

It's one thing for their family to have it, but why do those two surnamed Zhou have it too?

Chu Xin smiled. Who else could it be?

Such a well-planned and meticulous approach, sending out anyone with a bit of influence who could potentially be of help, could only be done by the shrewd Chen Ping.

It was truly a lucky accident that she stumbled upon the key point; Chu Xin had only just learned that Chu Yunting's uncle had such an identity.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "When you give them the things, don't mention the things in the letter. I think if even your uncle can't handle it, asking them might be a waste of time."

"it is good!"

Chu Yunting agreed very readily. He had absolute confidence in his uncle and never thought that the matter could not be accomplished.

Upon arriving at the Special Branch, the two were stopped in the lobby on the first floor before they even entered the office.

"Captain Liu, is there something you need?"

Ever since Liu Yunlong received a "love lecture" from his wife, he's become less sharp-tongued, more peaceful, and less unlikeable.

He withdrew his arms from the two of them, blinked his gossipy eyes, and asked them, "Hey, Gao Ziyou is here to see your captain again. What's wrong? What did Zhou Yichen do to him that he hates him so much?"

"Speaking of which, you've worked with Gao Ziyou for a while, so you should know more about this than we do. Why didn't he tell you?"

Chu Xin looked at Liu Yunlong, a middle-aged tough guy with a curious and gossipy face, and found it hard to accept.

He wasn't like this a while ago.

"People always say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and you don't even know that... tsk tsk tsk."

Liu Yunlong: ...

Why does this brat's tone of voice feel so familiar? Back then, he was just as furious and speechless as he is now.

Liu Yunlong was suddenly confronted with criticism, causing him to doubt himself, while Chu Xin found his expression even more perplexing.

Is it because he was at that awkward age, neither rich nor poor, that he discovered his partner had no demands of him, and his guard was completely lifted, causing him to become nagging and gossipy?

No wonder people say that government jobs are like iron rice bowls. A job that's so relaxed and you don't have to worry about starving to death would be something people would fight tooth and nail for in later generations.
