Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 177 The Second Approach to College

Chen Luyang now has a very regular schedule.

I sit down in the morning to translate today's materials, and spend the rest of the time studying and reading.

On the weekend, Chen Luyang took the materials and papers for a week's review and went to the provincial university to ask Yu Huichuan for extra lessons.

When I arrived at the provincial university,
Yu Huichuan was already sitting at the table waiting.

"Teacher Chen, I found these books from the library. I wonder if they can be of any help to your work."

Guo Qiang and Yu Huichuan's main research direction is materials science. Natural rubber is not their specialty, so they can provide little help to Chen Luyang.

Therefore, Yu Huichuan borrowed some books on the principles and processing of natural rubber from the library, intending to let Chen Luyang take a look.

Chen Luyang sighed, feeling both amused and annoyed, "I haven't even understood the physics and chemistry for the college entrance exam, yet the books I'm reading now are becoming more and more specialized."

Yu Huichuan was silent for a while.

"Teacher Chen, I speak frankly, please don't be offended."

"Learning requires laying the foundation step by step, not all at once. It's a little early for you to read these books now. They're fine for fun, but if you want to thoroughly study them, or even innovate on them, they might be a bit difficult."

How can doing research be easy?

If reading basic books can solve practical production problems and bring about reforms in the field, then what is the need for schools and research institutes?
Then everyone who can read is a scientist.

"I know." Chen Luyang sighed softly.

On reading, research, and practical production experience.

Aren’t the technical engineers and skilled workers in the rubber factory better than him?

The problem that they had not been able to solve completely for so many years was solved by just reading two days of books. Even he himself would not believe it!
"I'm now looking for research institutes that study these things and see if we can collaborate with them."

Seeing Chen Luyang's worried look, Yu Huichuan said:
"How about asking the school? Maybe they have relevant research topics..."

Chen Luyang shook his head without even thinking.

If the provincial university had researched this topic, they would have already collaborated with the rubber factory. Why would they wait until now?
Besides, the provincial university’s advantageous disciplines are mechanics, aerospace, materials and mechanical engineering, and there is no rubber technology at all.

Even in the library there are not many books on the rubber industry.

Instead of wasting time in school, you might as well go out and find a way out on your own.

"But our country is so big, and there are so many research institutes. You can't go everywhere, right?"

Yu Huichuan disagrees with Chen Luyang's attitude.

"Although the school is currently weak in this area, teachers may be able to meet some experts by participating in academic exchange meetings."

Chen Luyang shook his head slightly, picked up the book on the table, and showed Yu Huichuan the author's name on it.

Not to mention whether the teachers at the provincial university are experts in rubber technology.

Even if they know each other, they are not as good as the authors of these books, right?

"I've made up my mind. I'll report to the factory in the next few days and go to the places where these authors are to conduct research and learn from them, and ask for technical advice."

Yu Huichuan suddenly understood.

"Look at my stupid brain! It's really not as accurate as finding them!"

Chen Luyang was embarrassed: "Teacher Xiao Yu, please don't be so modest. If you are stupid, then there will be no smart people."

Speaking of this, Chen Luyang asked:

"Teacher Xiao Yu, how's your official overseas assignment going? Any news?"

"They said they would send the letter before the New Year." Yu Huichuan was very open-minded.

"I've finished the exams, so I don't want to think about it anymore. If I can go, I'll go. If I can't, I'll just do research in the country."

"Let's not talk about that for now. How did you do on the test I gave you last time? Did you encounter any problems?"

"Yes! Look at this Wheatstone bridge measuring unknown resistance, the current short circuit problem..."

Two people were talking about electric current and circuits in the room when the door was suddenly opened from outside.

Come in a bunch,
Guo Qiang, Director Wang of the English Department, and two people Chen Luyang didn’t know.

"Section Chief Huang, this is Chen Luyang."

Guo Qiang happily introduced everyone in the middle.

"Xiao Chen, this is Section Chief Huang and Secretary Sun from the school's training department. They know you're here for extra classes this weekend, so they came to see you today."

"Hello, Section Chief Huang, hello, Secretary Sun." Chen Luyang stood up confused and shook hands with Section Chief Huang respectively.

What's going on?

"You're so young!" Section Chief Huang praised with a smile.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that the English textbook was actually written by a young man!"

Director Wang of the English Department looked at Chen Luyang and smiled, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Chen."

"The previously published book 'English Phrases for Daily Communication' has had a very strong impact on students. After considering and fully incorporating their opinions, the school would like to invite you to teach English at the provincial university. What are your thoughts?"

Chen Luyang's expression was frozen for 5 seconds!

"I'm especially grateful to the teacher for taking an interest in me, but I already work in a machinery factory and have production tasks to complete, so it's really inconvenient for me to come to school to teach."

"Besides, I didn't even get into university, so how can I have the nerve to lecture a bunch of college students? If this gets out, it's going to be a joke!"

Director Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry about either of those things! Just tell us whether you want to come or not."

"As long as you want to come, Vice President Jiang, President Lu, Vice President Tan and I will go to the principal's office and bang the table. We will definitely get you here!"

When Chen Luyang heard the other party even use the "slamming the table" approach, his expression froze for 5 seconds again.

...These people are not serious here, right?
I really want to go to college, but not in this way!

Director Wang just happened to bring up something that was not related to the topic at this time.

"Xiao Chen, don't you want to go to college?"

"As long as you agree, you can go straight to university without even taking the exam."

Chen Luyang's expression froze for another 5 seconds, and he didn't even know how to reply.

Why does the development of this matter always go against my imagination?
"Alright Director Wang, stop scaring Xiao Chen."

Guo Qiang stepped forward with a smile to help Chen Luyang out of the predicament.

"Xiao Chen is now the workshop director of the rubber workshop in the factory. How can he come to school to teach?"

“You’re the workshop director now?!!!”

Director Wang, Section Chief Huang, and Secretary Sun all stared at Chen Luyang with three pairs of eyes.

"Xiao Chen, judging from your age, are you 20?" asked Section Chief Huang.

"I'm 18."

The moment he said his age, Chen Luyang felt a little ashamed.

Too young!
No deterrent effect at all!
To put it nicely, this age is called a "yellow-haired boy".

To put it bluntly, "not even all the hair has grown back."

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing his age, Director Wang, Section Chief Huang, and Secretary Sun not only didn't look down on him, but instead showed a hint of admiration and... pity on their faces???

Director Wang looked at Chen Luyang with more kindness than Chen Dazhi did.

"Kid, you still have to go to college!"

Chen Luyang shuddered all over.

Look at this!!!
Just now he was called "Xiao Chen", but now he has become "child"!

Putting away the smile on his face, Section Chief Huang said seriously:
"Xiao Chen, what Director Wang just said is indeed true."

"Originally, the school did consider having you teach, but considering your current work situation and... your academic qualifications."

"So we would like to invite senior technicians to give lectures. We would like to invite you to give English lectures at the school every weekend to popularize English oral communication knowledge among students."

"Of course, we won't let you lecture in vain."

"Each lecture will be charged the same as a normal class, 10 yuan per hour, and you will lecture for two hours a week."

Chen Luyang, who is not good at math, started calculating frantically!
Two hours a week, 10 yuan an hour, 20 yuan a week, 80 yuan a month!

Plus my salary as a senior technician and workshop director in the machinery factory, which totaled 103 yuan.

All in all, it’s 183 yuan a month! ! ! !

My day...
