Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 462 Celebration Banquet

At this time, Lin Xuejun came to the shipyard. As soon as he entered the factory, he saw Lin Chen looking down at the drawings with concentration.

He approached quietly, afraid to disturb Lin Chen.

It was not until they got closer that Lin Chen heard the sound and looked up. He put away the aircraft carrier's construction plan and said to Lin Xuejun with a smile: "Your sudden attack really caught me off guard!"

Lin Xuejun responded with a smile: "I mainly want to take a look at the settings on your side and learn about your progress."

Lin Chen knew that he was acting on orders, so he told Lin Xuejun all the information about the US aircraft carrier he had just obtained.

After listening to this, Lin Xuejun showed a look of surprise on his face, and even looked at Lin Chen with some worry.

Lin Chen smiled calmly and said, "We have to be stronger than the United States. Don't worry about this. We can definitely do it!" His tone was full of confidence and determination.

After hearing this, Lin Xuejun felt more at ease. He nodded and said, "Then I feel relieved."

After saying that, he did not stay for too long and left the shipyard after getting Lin Chen's answer.

In the shipyard, everything seemed in order except for Lin Chen and the busy soldiers.

The soldiers were each busy with their own work, some were checking equipment, some were maintaining machines, and some were moving materials.

Lin Chen took out the previous information about the "USS Forti" aircraft carrier and began to study it carefully.

He noted that due to its large size, the "Fortie" can carry more carrier-based aircraft, so the hangar area has also increased accordingly.

However, the ammunition elevators were placed on the side, which undoubtedly increased the risk in combat.

Seeing this, Lin Chen shook his head and smiled.

He knew that the aircraft carrier he designed had effectively circumvented this problem.

Not only that, he also learned from the common problems that occurred in several other aircraft carriers and comprehensively optimized and improved the performance of the aircraft carrier.

He has maxed out the performance of the aircraft carrier he is currently building, and believes that once this aircraft carrier comes out, it will cause a sensation around the world.

The tens of billions of dollars previously charged for building the aircraft carrier now seem to be great value for money.

Lin Chen knew very well that the money was worth spending because it would bring an unprecedented leap forward for the country's naval cause.

Before I knew it, it was time to finish work.

Lin Chen heard Deng Xu calling out to everyone in the distance. The whistle sounded, and people heard the different rhythms and knew what they had to do.

This is the daily routine in the shipyard and the lifestyle that the soldiers are accustomed to.

At this time, the aircraft carrier construction team of nearly a thousand people began to gradually disband.

A few people who are rarely seen on weekdays also came out from various corners. Perhaps they were taking a rare break from their busy work, or perhaps they were preparing for the next life.

The aircraft carrier is so huge that the number of people working on it does not seem to have changed at all.

Deng Xu walked up to Lin Chen and said in the tone he usually used when reporting to the chief: "Boss Lin, let's go eat together!"

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's do it another day. I have to accompany my girlfriend today."

After hearing this, Deng Xu didn't say anything more.

He was well aware of Lin Chen's identity and status, and knew that he was a leader who deserved respect, just like ordinary soldiers and Lin Xuejun and others, who were all people worthy of his respect.

Deng Xu was filled with emotion as he watched Lin Chen leave. The sergeant next to him suddenly said, "Why do you look at Boss Lin's back like this? If you know, you would think it's the Waiting for Husband Rock!"

Deng Xu turned around and kicked, but the sergeant dodged in time and was not hit at all.

Then Deng Xu laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are talking nonsense. Do you know what the Husband-Waiting Stone is? Just say it casually."

The sergeant also responded from a distance: "Of course I know, but your appearance just now is indeed a bit similar! Hurry up and leave, or the food will get cold if you are late."

Lin Chen drove back home, downstairs of Building 3 in Zuiwengzhiyi Community. He stopped the car and saw the light in the living room was on, and he knew that the family had returned.

He quickened his pace, pushed the door open, and the aroma of food filled his nose.

As he put the key away, he asked, "What happened today? The meal was so rich that the whole house was filled with fragrance."

Fang Lan's voice came from far away in the kitchen, with a hint of depression: "It will be finished tomorrow morning, so I'm happy. Deji has to celebrate in advance."

Lin Chen changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen. He saw Fang Lan was busy, but in fact she was just walking around to help Deji.

Because of the angle, he only saw Fang Lan.

Deji stuck her head out and saw Lin Chen who had just arrived at the kitchen door. She smiled and said, "Let's celebrate a little today, and then we'll celebrate together properly at the celebration banquet tomorrow."

Lin Chen responded: "Okay! I'll set aside some time to come tomorrow."

Fang Lan had already come out of the kitchen, pushed Lin Chen and said with a smile: "No need to set aside time specifically, the celebration banquet will start in the evening."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "So you guys have already finished filming at noon, won't some actors leave?"

From what he knew, there were very few actors who finished filming in a morning and then had to wait until the evening to attend a wrap party.

Fang Lan explained: "The situation is different. This time it's still night time."

Of course Lin Chen didn’t know more about the matter. He only knew that he could go with them the next day.

After all, Deji and Fang Lan had invited him in turn.

After dinner, Deji and Fanglan went to the study, where they studied Fanglan's new script together.

Previously, Fang Lan had thought about not collaborating with Deji on the new drama, but the current situation seems to have taken a turn for the better.

Lin Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, looking through the information about the "United" aircraft carrier.

Every once in a while, he would always get some new information from various channels, so that he could understand in real time what was happening during the design process and the overall performance of the aircraft carrier.

There will not be any special changes in the general direction, but there will be different gains in the basic details.

This has always been Lin Chen’s view and the driving force behind his constant pursuit of progress.

After finishing his work, he found that the light in the study was still on and the person inside had not come out.

Some voices could be heard faintly coming from inside, and it seemed that Deji and Fang Lan were discussing something.

Lin Chen would not stay up late like them, so he quickly returned to his room.

Not long after I lay down, I received a message from Fang Lan: "I have made an appointment for the wrap-up party, I will definitely attend!"

Lin Chen muttered to himself: "You really understand me. In fact, I really don't want to go."

But the reply message on the phone was: "OK!"

After waiting for a while, there was no reply from Fang Lan. Lin Chen smiled bitterly and locked the screen.

Finally, the night of the wrap-up party arrived, and Lin Chen came to the Furuhai Hotel. In the lobby of the hotel, there was a striking poster that read: "The Fate of Life and Death" crew wrap-up party, White Crane Hall.

Lin Chen walked straight forward in the direction indicated by the poster, and soon saw the entrance to Baihe Hall.

At this time, some actors had already walked out and were walking out while talking on the phone.

After seeing Lin Chen, they hurriedly greeted him and turned sideways and pointed in the direction inside.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, then walked into the White Crane Hall after avoiding others.

The hall was packed with people, filling the entire space. At a glance, it was impossible to count how many tables there were in total.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh: "This guy, how come it's like a wedding scene."

Someone nearby had already come forward and greeted him warmly, "Boss Lin, I'm really sorry for not taking good care of you! I was away for a while."

This person was the staff member responsible for reception at the door. He followed Fang Lan's instructions and waited for Lin Chen here.

It just so happened that he had just left because someone called him, and there was still a hint of apology on his face.

Lin Chen hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay!" He still followed the people around him to his own location.

Deji was not at his seat and no one knew where he was busy.

Fang Lan was being pulled there to chat, and she didn't react until Lin Chen sat down next to her.

The hall was so noisy that one had to raise their voices to be heard clearly.

Fang Lan turned around and smiled at Lin Chen: "Haha, here you come!"

Lin Chen also responded with a smile: "Yes, I'm coming."

Everyone present greeted Lin Chen one by one, and Lin Chen responded one by one.

Those who were able to sit at the same table were all the leading actors and creative staff of the "Sheng Sheng Fate" crew.

When Lin Chen arrived at the scene, the wrap-up banquet officially kicked off.

The reason why the scene was so crowded and lively was because all members of the crew were present.

This is also a common practice for many crews. All those who have worked hard for the show will gather together at this moment.

As soon as the banquet started, people began to greet each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

As the focus of the night, Lin Chen was naturally toasted by everyone.

Seeing this situation, Fang Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

When another person came over with a glass of wine, she quickly stood up, blocked Lin Chen, and said with a smile: "You can't toast like this, take it easy."

The people on the other side didn't care at all and responded with a smile: "We respect Boss Lin. How dare we withdraw without Boss Lin's order?"

Fang Lan had no choice but to look at Lin Chen and said apologetically: "I was thinking that I must let you come, but now it seems that I regret it a little. This toast is too enthusiastic."

Lin Chen didn't care. He gently pulled Fang Lan's hand, motioned her to sit down, and said with a smile: "This is all a happy thing. It's the wrap-up party. Don't worry so much."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it with the person who came over to toast him.

After drinking it all, he turned to Fang Lan and said, "Don't worry, I'm very happy. Besides, I don't have much work to do tomorrow, so this little bit of wine is nothing to me."

In fact, Lin Chen had already anticipated that he would drink a lot of wine tonight, so before entering the restaurant, he had asked the system to upgrade his physical attributes, greatly enhancing his tolerance and metabolic capacity for alcohol.

Fang Lan didn't know that Lin Chen was such a heavy drinker before. After listening to his advice, she gradually calmed down and began to happily toast with others.

At this time, another person appeared in front of Lin Chen. It was an actress in one of the copies of the play, named Yang Li.

She had just graduated from college and had previously starred in a play that had quickly made her famous, but she still seemed a little shy.

However, she still mustered up the courage to walk up to Lin Chen, holding up her wine glass, and said with a red face: "Boss Lin, everyone else has toasted you, so I have to toast you too."

Lin Chen looked at her and joked, "Other people toast for a reason. Are you toasting just because others toast you?"

Yang Li was a little stunned by his question, his face turned redder, and he quickly said: "I just want to toast you, nothing else."

Lin Chen stopped teasing her, took the initiative to clink his glass with hers, and then drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the wine glass was empty, Yang Li suddenly gave him an unexpected "surprise".

She suddenly hugged Lin Chen, then quickly let go.

Lin Chen was still stunned and didn't react at all.

Yang Li smiled and explained: "I am also taking this opportunity to give you a hug. I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future, so I have to give you a hug as a memory."

Lin Chen is not a person in the circle, he just invested in this TV series.

Just as Yang Li said, there may never be a chance to see each other again in the future.

However, the other party's actions still caught Lin Chen off guard.

He responded subconsciously: "It's just a meal, no need to be so enthusiastic."

Yang Li ran away with a smile. Fang Lan laughed and said to Lin Chen, "You haven't come to your senses yet?"

Lin Chen complained helplessly: "I was startled by her sudden action."

Xia Tong, who was sitting next to them, also joined in the fun: "We are all waiting to hug you, Yang Li just started it."

Lin Chen waved his hands quickly: "Forget it, please don't do that. I can't stand this."

Although Lin Chen drank a lot of wine, he did not show any signs of drunkenness.

On the contrary, he remained as sober as ever and behaved properly.

When people realized that Lin Chen was such a heavy drinker, they stopped toasting him one after another.

Those who originally intended to get Lin Chen drunk also began to worry that they might get drunk instead.

After the meal, everyone said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

Lin Chen, Fang Lan and Deji were together. They wanted to send off the other main creative staff before leaving.

The leading actors left one by one, and in the end only a few of them were left.

Assistant Xiao Deng came over and said, "I've called a designated driver. It's windy outside. Director, please go inside and wait. I'll come find you when the person arrives."

Lin Chen refused. He said to Xiao Deng, "You go back first. We can just wait here for a while."

So, a few people waited outside for a while.
