Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 259 The young man Xiaohua likes
In the evening, He Dahua drove the five people back to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Gao Hongming sitting in the restaurant, holding a newspaper in his hand, as if waiting for someone.

Seeing Chen Luyang come in, Gao Hongming, who had been waiting all night, immediately stood up and walked over enthusiastically.

"Comrade Chen, after I reported the situation to the school, the school leaders took it very seriously."

"We have prepared a list of audio recitation recorders. Do you think there are any suitable candidates?"

As Gao Hongming spoke, he took out a few pages of manuscript paper from his bag, on which were written several names and their affiliations.

Chen Luyang took it and looked at it, raising his eyebrows!
It really deserves to be Peking University!
This resource is really powerful!
The people listed above are either academic masters, deans or directors, or well-known translators, and even the announcer of "Sunday English".

Originally, Chen Luyang was thinking about publishing a book and recording his own audio.
But now, seeing the people on the list, he thought carefully...

"Director Gao, the teachers on the list are all my role models, so I'm not sure. The fact that the school has accepted my book and asked me to record the audio is already a blessing. I'll follow the school's arrangements for other tasks."

"Comrade Chen, don't worry. The school will definitely do a good job with the audio work in a highly responsible and meticulous manner!"

Gao Hongming got the answer and put the manuscript back into his briefcase.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, how long do you expect to stay in Pianer City this time?"

Chen Luyang: "I should be able to stay for three or four days."

Tomorrow is the last day of the trade fair.

Logically speaking, after the trade fair, the five of them should return to the provincial capital.

But after all, we have come to Pianer City with great difficulty. Now that we are here, how can we not walk around and buy some things for home!

Plus we have to take an Italian representative with us,

So, Wang Qingzhou gave everyone two days off.

Gao Hongming said happily: "Comrade Chen, if you are not busy these two days, come to the school!"

"You're a celebrity in our school. The teachers in the department heard that you're in Pianer City now, and they all want to meet you."

Chen Luyang was shy.

“I want to go, but I can’t get in!”

Gao Hongming: "That's not a problem! When you come to school, I'll take you in!"

Chen Luyang was happy: "Really?"

Gao Hongming was helpless: "I can't trick you!"

Chen Luyang: "Okay! If I have the chance, I will definitely go visit."

……

On the last day of the exhibition, there were surprisingly many visitors!
Everyone wanted to take advantage of the last day to come in and take a closer look.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Luyang picked up the jar and drank some water, then prepared to pack up and go to the restaurant to eat and take a rest.

A well-maintained, elegantly dressed middle-aged woman walked up to him and asked politely:
"Comrade, are you Cao Qinghang?"

Chen Luyang didn't think much about it and pointed to the side and said:
"The one standing there is Cao Qinghang."

"Okay, little comrade, thank you."

The lesbian looked back.

At this time, in front of the car, Cao Qinghang was listening to the visitors' questions with an attentive look on his face.

Ever since Jiang Xiaohua suddenly disappeared, Cao Qinghang has lost a lot of weight and can hardly lift his sweater.

But despite this, Cao Qinghang's eyes were still bright, as if a fire was burning inside.

Far from looking tired or weak, he exudes a spirit and pride that is deeply rooted in his bones.

The middle-aged lesbian's eyes lit up!
She stood by and looked at Cao Qinghang quietly for a long time. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

Chen Luyang felt his back tingling.

I went...

This look is not right!

"Comrade, is there anything you would like to know about our car?"

Chen Luyang stood between the middle-aged female comrade and Cao Qinghang without leaving any trace, and asked enthusiastically.

The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Then please briefly introduce the car to me."

Chen Luyang became alert again!
When other comrades come to see the car, they basically ask how tall the car is, how many people it can hold, how many meters it can run, how much fuel it consumes, and how much it costs.

No one came up to ask such a general question.

Chen Luyang frowned slightly.

Cao Gong is one of the four most handsome men in the machinery factory. He usually attracts single female workers and young wives in the factory.

In the field of middle-aged and elderly women, Technician Song has always been the leader.

How come there are middle-aged female comrades who have taken a fancy to Cao Qinghang in Pianer City?

But since the other party asked.

Chen Luyang also gave a few enthusiastic introductions.

It’s just that the person who introduced it had two ideas in mind.

Those who are listening to the introduction are not paying attention to this.

After a few superficial exchanges between the two sides, the beautiful middle-aged woman turned around and left politely.

Apart from looking at Cao Qinghang from a distance, he did not make any other moves.

Chen Luyang pondered for a moment, but kept the matter to himself and did not tell Cao Qinghang.

At noon, after everyone had lunch together in the hotel cafeteria, a staff member from the exhibition suddenly came over.

"Excuse me, who is Cao Qinghang?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Cao Qinghang asked blankly.

"Comrade Cao, a leader wants to see you and ask you about the car."

The staff member spoke politely.

Everyone was stunned!
Cao Qinghang first subconsciously looked at Wang Qingzhou, then asked:

"Which leader is looking for me?"

The staff member said politely, "The leader is in the reception room. Comrade Cao, please follow me quickly and don't make the leader wait anxiously."

Wang Qingzhou: "Xiao Cao, since the leader wants to see you, just follow this comrade and take a look."

Cao Qinghang: "Okay! Let's go then."

Chen Luyang looked at Cao Qinghang's back with some suspicion.

Could it be that middle-aged lesbian from the daytime looking for Cao Qinghang?
……

The reception room is on the third floor of the hotel.

Knock on the door and enter the house,

Cao Qinghang saw the head of the National Machinery and Electronics Corporation sitting on the sofa and communicating with a well-dressed middle-aged woman.

Seeing Cao Qinghang enter the room, the head of the National Electromechanical Corporation said with a smile:

"Comrade Cao, this is Director Xiang from the Ministry of Materials. She's here to ask you about the car."

Cao Qinghang immediately became serious, sat upright on the sofa and began to introduce the cars in the factory.

Director Xiang smiled at the young man in front of him, his eyes constantly sizing him up, and his expression became more and more satisfied the more he looked.

After Cao Qinghang finished introducing all the cars, he smiled and asked the director:
"Xiao Cao, which university did you graduate from?"

Cao Qinghang: "I'm from the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics."

To the director: "I heard that you are an engineer in the factory and the main leader in making cars. Are your parents also from the machinery factory?"

Cao Qinghang: "My parents don't work in a machinery factory."

Director Xiang: "What do your parents do?"

Cao Qinghang was slightly stunned.

Why is Director Xiang so interested in my situation?
"Both my parents are artists. My father dances and my mother sings." Cao Qinghang was reluctant to talk much about his family affairs and just mentioned it briefly.

However, after hearing about the situation of Cao Qinghang's parents, Director Xiang looked at him in surprise.

"Your parents are artists, so why did you end up working in a machinery factory?"

The more Cao Qinghang listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

However, due to the other person's status, he still replied: "I'm not too interested in art."

He nodded and smiled to the director, "What about your grandparents? What do they do?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Cao Qinghang's eyes.

Is this a political censorship or a question about the car?
Seeing Cao Qinghang remained silent, the head of the National Electromechanical Company interrupted and said with a smile:

"Comrade Cao, don't be nervous. Just ask the director to understand the situation and tell him the truth."

Cao Qinghang glanced at the head of the National Electromechanical Corporation, pondered for a moment, and said:

"My grandparents were military men. Director Xiang, is there anything else you would like to know about our car?"

He nodded in satisfaction to the director, and the more he looked at Cao Qinghang, the brighter his eyes became.

"Not for now. Your car is very well made! You are also very good!"

"How long do you plan to stay in Pianer City this time?"

Cao Qinghang: "Probably stay for another three or four days."

Director Xiang: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you plan to stay in Pianer City for a few more days?"

Cao Qinghang: "The factory's cars need to be continuously improved and upgraded, and time is very tight. Once we finish things at the exhibition, we will return to the factory."

He nodded to the director with some regret.

After getting a general understanding of Cao Qinghang's basic situation, he turned to the director and asked some questions about cars.

When Cao Qinghang came downstairs with a puzzled look on his face, Wang Qingzhou, Chen Luyang and others were waiting for him in the lobby.

Yu Anshan: "Xiao Cao, which leader?"

Cao Qinghang omitted the other party's questions about his family situation and roughly repeated the rest.

When they heard that the other party was the director of the State Materials Department, Wang Qingzhou and others showed surprise on their faces.

If the cars produced by the Provincial Machinery Factory can enter the State Material Department, the future development prospects will be even more open!
With this news, Wang Qingzhou, Yu Anshan and Hao Fengchun happily returned to their room to rest.

"Engineer Cao, is the director of the Materials Department a man or a woman?" Chen Luyang suddenly asked.

"She's a lesbian," Cao Qinghang replied. "Why are you asking?"

Chen Luyang: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask out of curiosity."

Cao Qinghang: "Okay, stop being curious. There's only half a day left for the exhibition this afternoon. If you hurry up now, you can still go back to your room and get some sleep."

……

Looking at Cao Qinghang's back, Chen Luyang's heart was filled with doubts.

If I'm not mistaken, the middle-aged female comrade who asked about Cao Qinghang this morning should be the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

However, after graduating from university, Cao Qinghang was assigned to the provincial machinery factory.

I usually do research in the workshop and don't even go home except during the holidays.

Why did the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission suddenly come to see me?
"Is it possible...?!"

Suddenly, an idea emerged in Chen Luyang's mind.

Could it be because of Jiang Xiaohua???

……

At this time, a car slowly drove out of the hotel.

After half an hour,

The car turned at the intersection and drove into a quiet alley.

Director Xiang got out of the car and walked into a house in the alley.

There was a red-painted wooden door outside the house. I pushed the door but it didn't open, and no one answered when I knocked.

Director Xiang turned around very skillfully and walked towards Houhai.

In the open-air teahouse next to the water in Houhai, even in winter, there are people sitting on slightly worn rattan chairs drinking tea.

In the open space behind the teahouse, several people wearing cotton jackets were practicing Tai Chi sword.

The leader of the sword dance was a man about the same age as Wang Qingzhou.

The man looked very thin, with a very straight back, quite energetic, and a pair of eyes that were frighteningly dark and bright.

Seeing Director Xiang, the man put away his sword and let the others continue.

I walked up to Director Xiang and asked, "Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Director Xiang: "It's all for your daughter!"

Jiang Fuyuan: "What happened to Xiaohua?"

To the Director: "I saw the young man Xiaohua picked out today. He has good taste! He picked a very good guy!"

Jiang Fuyuan: "You saw it? Where did you see it?"

To the Director: "At the auto show in Xiyuan, the Mechanical and Electrical Company and the Ministry of Commerce organized an auto show, and the young man Xiaohua liked was also there."

Jiang Fuyuan had a dark face and didn't seem to want to continue this topic.

Director Xiang advised: "You two can't keep silent all the time. The child is grown up, and you have to respect his own ideas."

Jiang Fuyuan snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it! If she doesn't want to talk, then don't talk. I don't believe she will never talk to me in her entire life!"

Director Xiang sighed, "I'm truly impressed by you two, father and daughter. Each one is more stubborn than the other!"

……

at last!

The exhibition that lasted for several days is finally over!

With the help of the staff of the mechanical and electrical company, Hao Fengchun successfully bought tickets for the Italian representatives to return to the provincial capital three days later.

Thanks to the Italian representatives, Chen Luyang and his team could stay in Pianer City for three more days.

Hao Fengchun: "Chen'er, find a chance to talk to the Italian representative these days and tell him about our itinerary!"

Chen Luyang: "Okay... Uncle Hao, how's the Italian representative's translation going? Is he still having diarrhea?"

Hao Fengchun: "It's all right! The diarrhea is gone, it was the prostate that was causing the problem."

Chen Luyang: ???

Hao Fengchun: "He is currently hospitalized for treatment."

Chen Luyang: "...There's something wrong there, delaying the translation???"

Hao Fengchun: "It's quite a waste. I heard that he now sits on the urinal every day, is very depressed, and suffers from insomnia..."

Chen Luyang was silent.

"I'd better find the Italian representative first!"

After contacting the Italian representative, Chen Luyang began his free activities.

This time he had a rare opportunity to come to Pianer City, and he wanted to buy some things for his family to bring back!
After packing up his things, Chen Luyang took a motorcycle to the largest state-owned store in Pianer City: Zhenxing Commercial City.

Don't even say it,

The commercial city has everything from clothes, shoes, gloves to hats.

Many of them are styles and fabrics that Chen Luyang has never seen in the provincial capital.

Chen Luyang bought a set of hats, gloves and scarves for Chen's father and mother, and bought new-style skirts, hairbands and small leather shoes for her sister, younger sister and female manager. She also bought a pair of leather shoes for her brother-in-law, and a schoolbag and pencil case for her little nephew.

In addition to them, Chen Luyang also bought a pair of gloves for the three men of the Song family, Zhu Xinghuo, Tang Dale, Daxin, Xiao Wu, Lao Jiang and Lao Hao, and brought a bottle of pearl cream for Nata.

When the salesperson at the state-owned store saw Chen Luyang buying so many gloves as if he was doing wholesale, he became suspicious on the spot. He almost thought that this was some ignorant guy from some mountain who came to stock up and was going to go back and resell!
In the end, Chen Luyang took out his ID to prove his identity.
