Hu Hua panicked immediately after seeing this.
He grabbed Ma Baotian's arm and said seriously.
"Old Ma, the county leader asked to see you. Now is not the time to be angry."
Ma Baotian felt a little flustered after hearing this.
He was an ordinary citizen. It was good enough for him to meet the town party officials in his life.
How could he be called by the county leader?
Like Ma Baotian, Ma Tiejun was notoriously stubborn.
But they were all honest winemakers and thought they had never done anything to harm the world.
They were all scared to meet the big officials.
Hu Hua didn't intend to give them time to think and said quickly.
"Let's talk about it on the way. It will be too late if we delay any longer!"
"Well... okay."
Nodding, Ma Baotian followed Hu Hua out of the winemaking workshop.
Because he was uneasy, he just lit a match and was about to light a cigarette, but Hu Hua snatched the dry tobacco away.
"Don't smoke yet, you have to meet the leader soon!"
Ma Baotian snorted angrily, but he didn't dare to get angry.
About half an hour later, the three finally arrived at the office building.
When they walked into the meeting room, Wang Jun and Vivian Hsu, as well as Chen Bin and Ma Juan, were already there.
Mayor Zhu Chungui hurriedly began to introduce them.
"This is Director Vivian Hsu, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, and this is Secretary Wang Jun of the County Party Committee, and his secretary Comrade Chen Bin."
Ma Baotian and his son were a little panicked when they saw so many leaders.
Especially Ma Tiejun, after seeing Chen Bin next to Ma Juan, his face suddenly became ugly.
He never expected that the liar he beat up was actually the secretary of a county official.
In an instant, waves of regret surged in his heart.
"Young man, I...I..."
Chen Bin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ma, don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble."
Ma Tiejun laughed dryly twice, not knowing how to answer, so he didn't answer.
Ma Baotian looked at Wang Jun, feeling a little cold in his heart.
Thinking of his attitude towards Wang Jun that day, he frowned even more.
I have offended the county officials, what should I do in the future!
Xu Ruoxuan obviously didn't know what happened between the few people, but hurriedly greeted them.
"If you have anything to say, sit down and talk. Standing is not a problem."
After the others sat down, Ma Baotian and Ma Tiejun stood and didn't dare to move.
Although they were usually arrogant, they were ordinary people after all.
Facing the big leaders, they were still a little nervous.
Seeing this, Hu Hua immediately whispered to them.
"The leader asked you to sit down, so sit down quickly!"
Ma Baotian and Ma Tiejun looked at each other and then slowly sat down.
Then, Wang Jun got straight to the point.
"Actually, the reason we asked you to come here this time is mainly because the county wants to build a winery based on your wine. At that time, we can not only make money, but also contribute to the economic development of the whole county. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ma Baotian immediately shook his head subconsciously.
Vivian Hsu also began to persuade.
"The recipe and craftsmanship of winemaking are all yours. The county will never force you, but I still hope that you will put the overall situation first. The government is for the better development of Qingshi Town, and there are not many opportunities to serve the country."
Wang Jun took over the conversation at this time.
"When the winery is established, it will be a state-owned enterprise. At that time, we can arrange for your whole family to arrange a staffing, and both of you can become leaders of the winery."
Hearing that there will be a staffing, Ma Baotian and his son were a little tempted.
But the recipe was passed down from their ancestors after all.
It would be a bit unfair to our ancestors if we just handed it over like this.
Wang Jun saw that they were silent and continued.
"Don't rush to express your opinions. I can give you a few days to consider it."
Not long after, the meeting ended.
When Ma Baotian and his son left, Ma Juan immediately followed them.
It seems that they want to persuade the two according to Chen Bin's intention.
Hu Hua secretly made up his mind to perform well in front of Wang Jun.
On the way back to the county, Xu Ruoxuan asked Chen Bin.
"Do you think they will hand over the formula?"
Chen Bin nodded, "I think the possibility is very high. First of all, the establishment has been arranged. Secondly, the officials in the town also know about this matter. They will definitely not miss the opportunity to perform in front of Secretary Wang."
Xu Ruoxuan nodded slightly, looking at Chen Bin with an ambiguous look mixed with admiration.
"You are still smart."
Back in the county, Wang Jun patted Chen Bin's shoulder with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect you could handle Ma Baotian's granddaughter."
Chen Bin smiled and replied, "I'm disintegrating them from the inside, so that the probability of getting the formula will be greater."
The situation was just as Chen Bin expected. Hu Hua took the town leaders to do ideological work on the old Ma family in turn.
The first person to be persuaded was Ma Baotian's grandson Ma Xiangqian.
After graduating from high school, he didn't want to inherit the family business, so he started working outside.
Now he heard that he could find a regular job, and he was very excited.
In fact, it was Ma Baotian's youngest son, that is, Ma Xiangqian's father Ma Gang.
Ma Gang is the second son in the family. According to the ancestors' meaning, he has no right to inherit the wine-making formula.
Instead of helping his brother Ma Tiejun, it is better to work in the factory.
After all, he always feels inferior at home, but it won't be like this outside.
As for Ma Tiejun, the idea is even simpler.
He only has one daughter, Ma Juan, and even if the wine-making formula is passed down in the future, Ma Juan will not inherit it.
It is better to give it to the country than to let the things of our ancestors be lost.
However, no matter what others think, Ma Baotian just disagrees.
Just like that, three days passed in a flash.
That morning, as soon as Ma Baotian got up, the police from the town police station came to his door.
It turned out that Ma Xiangqian had a fight with someone after drinking in the county town the night before, resulting in two serious injuries.
One of them was even sent to the emergency room before coming down from the operating table.
Hearing that the matter was so serious, the Ma family panicked instantly.
Ma Baotian was so angry that he threw the dry tobacco in his hand and smashed a hole in the glass of the window.
Ma Tiejun and Ma Gang both seemed at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.
Finally, after Ma Juan's talk, the family ran to the police station together.
Originally, they wanted to go see Ma Xiangqian, but the police didn't let him in.
They said that they had to wait until the court trial was over before they could visit him in prison.
Ma Baotian felt like the sky was falling after hearing this.
There was really no other way, so he could only ask Ma Juan to go find Chen Bin and see if she could help.
Ma Juan did not hesitate and immediately took a taxi to the county government.
After finding Chen Bin in the office, she burst into tears.
Chen Bin quickly wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Let's talk it over. What's wrong with you?"
