Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 214 Beauty Trap

This sentence hit the nail on the head for Chen Jinyue.

She glanced at Chen Luyang's expression in a panic, and cursed guiltily: "Who is dating you?"

Seeing that Chen Jinyue seemed a little angry, Chen Luyang did not dare to tease her and explained:

"Too many people have been looking for me in the past few days. I'm afraid of being seen by them, so I try to hide as much as possible. Why are you here?"

"Actually, I came here today to ask you for help with something." Chen Jinyue softened his voice and spoke softly.

"What's the favor? Tell me, I'll give you an estimate!"

It was rare for Chen Luyang to hear Chen Jinyue speak so softly. He started to keep the conversation a secret. He coughed twice and said pretentiously, "I won't help you for nothing."

"..." Chen Jinyue rolled his eyes at him and said, "I heard that your machinery factory is going to hold a production and marketing association meeting in a few days?"

"That's true." Chen Luyang nodded in agreement. This matter was no longer a secret.

"Can we arrange accommodation for the exhibitors in our hotel?" Chen Jinyue asked with a smile.

The winter in the provincial capital is too cold, and there are few foreign guests.

The hotel's business has been getting slower and slower recently. If we can host a production and marketing association meeting, we can at least increase our income.

As soon as Chen Luyang saw Chen Jinyue, he guessed what she was here for.

"It's not easy to help with this matter." Chen Luyang said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Our exhibition is held in southern Xinjiang, and the hotel is too far from Nanjiang. We can't ask exhibitors to ride motorcycles to the exhibition every day, right?"

"I think the southern border location is not suitable!" Chen Jinyue shook his head and said:

"You probably chose southern Xinjiang because of its spaciousness and convenient parking for cars. However, even though the place is large, the environment is terrible."

Chen Jinyue began to analyze and agitate: "In autumn, southern Xinjiang at least has trees to provide shade, but in winter, not only people, but even sparrows are reluctant to go there."

"Besides the guesthouse near Southern Xinjiang, there are only two small restaurants where people can eat, and they can barely fit many people. The comrades from the Mechanical and Electrical Company have come all this way, so we can't just give them the steamed buns and pickles from the guesthouse, right?"

In fact, when you are on a business trip at this time, it is good enough to have some hot water and some steamed buns to fill your stomach.

However, Chen Jinyue's words really touched Chen Luyang's heart.

He doesn't like that place in Southern Xinjiang either!
Clothes make the man, and cars rely on gold!
After all, it is a car exhibition.

Selling a car in a beautiful, lively place will have completely different effects from selling a car in a poor, mountainous, bad, and smelly ditch!

Putting aside other factors, some places on Dongfang Street are now decorated with ice lanterns, and colorful lights are hung on the small Western-style buildings. The whole street is extremely beautiful.

It would be really beautiful if we could hold an exhibition on Oriental Street!
"But Dongfang Street is too small to accommodate such a large booth!" Chen Luyang sighed.

If it weren't for the lack of space, Chen Luyang would also like to hold an exhibition here.

Seeing that he had relaxed, Chen Jinyue pressed the issue, "Who said there's no room?! Isn't there room underneath the memorial tower by the river?"

Chen Luyang frowned: "Isn't there an ice lantern under the tower?"

It’s impossible for a car to drive in and smash all the ice lanterns, right?

Chen Jinyue leaned slightly closer to Chen Luyang and said seductively, "We've just carved a gate out of the ice lanterns at the bottom of the tower, and we haven't even started carving the lights inside yet! If you choose our hotel as your host, we can talk to the ice sculpture team and have them suspend their work for a few days, turning the ice sculpture exhibition into your car show~"

Chen Luyang was caught off guard by Chen Jinyue's proximity.
I don't know whether I was moved by her suggestion or bewitched by her posture and tone.

Chen Luyang looked at Chen Jinyue's chattering mouth for a few seconds, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a low voice:
"Comrade Jinyue, are you trying to seduce me?"

Chen Jinyue's gaze met Chen Luyang's directly, and her fair face turned red as if it were painted with rouge.

This time, Chen Jinyue did not avoid Chen Luyang's gaze. Her rosy, soft lips breathed softly as she spoke:

"Exhibition guests staying at our hotel are not only guaranteed accommodation, but we also have a pastry window to provide them with delicious mung bean cakes."

Chen Luyang swallowed unconsciously.

“Is this mung bean cake delicious?”

"Once the exhibitors are arranged in our hotel, you can try it yourself and know whether it tastes good or not." Chen Jinyue raised the corner of his eye slightly, and his tone was as gentle as a small hook, which made Chen Luyang's chest excited.

"I'll try my best!" Chen Luyang cleared his throat with a hoarse voice.

Chen Jinyue smiled gently at Chen Luyang: "I'll wait for your good news, Director Chen~"

This smile completely confused Director Chen's heart.

Not only did he send the person out in a daze, he was even so dazed that he forgot the selling price.

When Yu Anshan discussed with Director Chen about Chen Luyang coming to Yu Anshan to report on the site selection for the meeting, they almost let the cat out of the bag.

In the deputy director's office,
Yu Anshan asked Chen Luyang to sit down and said:

"Xiao Chen, this time at the production and marketing association, all the electromechanical companies in the provinces will be exhibiting. Since it's almost a holiday, the factory wants to give each exhibitor a gift. What do you think?"

Chen Luyang has not yet recovered from Chen Jinyue's beauty trap. When he heard about the gift, he almost blurted out "mung bean cake".

Fortunately, he still had some rationality. He took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Leader, in previous years, the gifts chosen by the provincial and municipal governments were all local specialties, nesting dolls, and small mirrors, wooden combs, and makeup boxes made in Maozi. Although these are unique, they are not the specialty of our machinery factory."

This aspect has always been the shortcoming of machinery factories.

Factories such as breweries, pastry factories, and candy factories can give away the high-end food and drinks they produce as small gifts.

But it is difficult for large factories like machinery factories, engine factories and boiler factories.

The entire factory was filled with screws and nuts, copper sheets and iron sheets, all of which were huge, so choosing gifts became a big problem.

"Since this is a car production and sales association, how about giving toy cars as gifts to the comrades who come to the exhibition?"

Chen Luyang briefly presented his ideas to Yu Anshan.

Now the first generation of toy cars has taken shape. Even if there is no time to install the inertia flywheel, it is still of great collection value just for display.

Besides, the theme of this social gathering is selling cars.

Even if these comrades in the mechanical and electrical company don’t buy cars, they will inevitably be addicted to buying cars if they play with toy cars in their hands every day.

"Toy cars? Do you have any real ones built yet?"

“There is a real thing.”

Chen Luyang briefly talked about the toy car made by Yang Xiangyang.

"It's just that Director Yang is trying to install a flywheel on the toy car right now. We thought we'd report it after the entire car toy is successfully manufactured, so we didn't tell the leadership right away."

"Tell Xiao Yang to bring the car over later. I'll take a look first."

Yu Anshan took this news very seriously. "We have so many engineers and technicians in our factory. Xiao Yang can't do it alone. So, let's call all of them over to design the flywheel toy car together."

"Good leader~" Chen Luyang became confident.

With the support of Director Yu, the development of the toy car has been secured.

Then Chen Luyang talked about the site selection.

When Yu An heard that Songting Hotel could communicate with the ice sculpture team to hold a production and sales conference for cars at the ice lantern exhibition, his entire excitement seemed to be aroused.

"That's a great idea! We can even hold a night show so that everyone can see the cars and enjoy the ice lanterns at the same time."

"By the way, I can freeze my urine and urinate blood." Chen Luyang replied silently in his heart.

"Xiao Chen, you're familiar with Songting Hotel, so you'll have to take care of these things and communicate with them about the details." "If it's really like they say, how can we drive a car into the ice lantern exhibition? Then we can hold the exhibition on Dongfang Street!"

……

Back in the office, Chen Luyang was about to check out the location.

There was a knock on the office door.

Chen Luyang looked up and saw that the person coming was Tang Xi from the Propaganda Department.

Standing up and enthusiastically letting the man in, Chen Luyang poured him some hot water and asked, "How's the contact with the newspaper going?"

For such a big event as the Production and Marketing Association, we naturally have to invite reporters from all over the country to come and interview and report on it.

The factory's publicity department was familiar with the newspaper, so this task was assigned directly to them.

Tang Xi forced a smile: "Very good, very good!"

Her smile was uglier than her crying. How could Chen Luyang not see that things had gone wrong!

"Have you hit a wall at the newspaper?"

"Are you still having any trouble?"

Chen Luyang asked directly.

Tang Xi shook his head. "The newspaper has invited them. The comrades from the provincial newspaper have accepted the invitation and said they will come to the factory in the next few days to conduct interviews and background checks."

Chen Luyang nodded: "Isn't that great? You can just take them to the factory for a look."

Tang Xi hesitated for a long time before he said proudly, "But they said they couldn't come today..."

Chen Luyang's heart tightened: "Not coming? What do you mean not coming?!"

Tang Xi blushed and teased, "You just said you wouldn't come..."

Chen Luyang's face darkened.

Under normal circumstances, if the other party was so hesitant and didn't say anything, he wouldn't even bother to respond.

But now it's about the production and marketing conference.
If he fails, Wang Qingzhou will be the first to blame himself!
"Did you have a conflict with someone?" Chen Luyang stared at Tang Xi, his eyes almost able to poke a hole in him.

He had personally witnessed Tang Xi's bad temper and bad face.

This guy usually acts very arrogant and doesn't care about anyone, but when he is in a good mood, he can act like a human being and talk to you like a human being.

When he is in a bad mood, his whole body becomes irritable and he wishes he could kick the broom at the door away.

Seeing Chen Luyang's unfriendly expression, Tang Xi hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to say:

"Director Chen, you are the only one who can help me now."

"Didn't the factory have to write an article about production experience at the end of the year? I submitted it to the provincial newspaper, but for some reason it hasn't been published."

"I've gone to the provincial newspaper several times to ask for it, but they just kept telling me to publish it next time."

"I went to the provincial newspaper that day and happened to see the director in charge of publishing manuscripts. I couldn't help but ask a few questions."

Tang Xi hesitantly said, "I don't know how that director got the job. He's not even close to being a manuscript reviewer. He published all the crappy manuscripts from the pastry factory but not mine. He just has a problem with me!"

Chen Luyang listened to the story like a ghost story: "Just asking a few questions can make people so angry that they don't come to the interview?"

Tang Xi whispered, "I lost my temper at the time and even cursed after asking..."

Chen Luyang stood there, feeling like his mind was going blank.

Is Brother Tang Xi so desperate to publish his article that he even dares to scold the director of the provincial newspaper!
Chen Luyang calmed down and asked, "Have you told Section Chief Chu about this?"

As the head of the publicity department of the machinery factory, Chu Huijuan must have friends in the newspaper over the years.

If Chu Huijuan could come forward, perhaps the situation could be eased.

Tang Xi looked aggrieved: "How dare I tell our section chief!"

A few days ago, his uncle Dai had just enrolled him in a training course in the city, but he ended up getting into such a big trouble.

If their section chief knew about this, not only would he scold him to death, but he probably wouldn’t even agree to sign the registration form for the training class!

But he was smart enough to know that Chen Luyang had many connections and knew many people.

Besides, Chen Luyang is the main person in charge of this association.

In addition, the two of them had some interactions because of Yang Xiangyang's matter before. If I ask him for help, Chen Luyang should not refuse for any reason!
"Director Chen, please don't let our section chief know about this!"

Tang Xi was really scared this time.

"Please help me think of a solution. I will remember your favor for the rest of my life!"

Chen Luyang said impatiently: "Please help me. I don't even know which door to the provincial newspaper office is. How can I help you?!"

Although Chen Luyang was honored to appear in the newspaper twice, he really knew nothing about the provincial newspaper and didn't even know a single reporter.

But even though he said so, Tang Xi didn't think so.

He just thought that Chen Luyang was angry with him, so he refused to help him.

He was mumbling little things left and right, and his tone was so pitiful, as if he was being scolded by the director of a newspaper.

Chen Luyang was so angry that he laughed.

"Tang Xi, you're also good at saying nice things, aren't you? If you have the time to talk softly to me, why don't you go apologize to the newspaper director? Isn't that better than anything else?"

Tang Xi felt even more aggrieved: "I went there, but they wouldn't let me in at all."

Chen Luyang: ...

He really wanted to kick that bastard Tang Xi to death!

How could such a stubborn guy end up in the Propaganda Department?
"You go back first, I'll think of a solution!"

Chen Luyang had a terrible headache and now he didn't want to see Tang Xi's face even for a moment longer.

"Director Chen, I'm leaving now. Please help me and don't let our section chief know!"

Tang Xi finally realized that he was in big trouble this time, and his voice almost sounded like tears.

Chen Lu waved his hand angrily, shooing the man away like a fly.

As he pushed his bicycle towards the factory gate, he was thinking about Tang Xi's swearing.

It seems that this kid is definitely making a big fuss in the provincial newspaper office, splitting Mount Hua and defeating Zhang Fei.

It was just a simple verbal dispute, and the provincial newspaper would never take the risk of offending the machinery factory, so they didn't even send a reporter to interview.

According to his analysis, there will definitely be someone from the provincial newspaper attending the production and marketing association meeting.

At best, the content and manuscript will be passable, but I won't write anything outstanding for you.

But despite this, this incident also reminded Chen Luyang.

The Production and Marketing Association only invited reporters from the provincial newspaper and Oriental Daily, which is too narrow.

It would be best to invite newspapers from all over the country to promote the exhibition, just like the National Heavy Machinery Exhibition, so as to show its huge momentum.

But he sorted out the people around him, and he didn't expect that there was anyone who had such a great ability to know the reporters of newspapers across the country.

　Please give me a monthly ticket! I will try my best to write more!
