Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 293 How can I let myself suffer?!
Wang Qingzhou frowned: "What's the matter?"

Chen Luyang was still terrified: "Director, please ask the chairman of the union for leave for me~"

Ever since the factory football team started playing football with Italian engineers, Chairman Jia of the trade union has been there, rain or shine, following every game, supervising every game, and personally checking attendance.

As the provincial football match was about to begin, Chairman Jia gave strict orders to every player on the team.

No matter who you are, unless you ask for leave from Director Wang, it will not be approved!
Even the deputy factory director in charge is useless!
If anyone fails to participate in competitions and training, it will be considered a violation of discipline, and union benefits will be deducted during holidays.

Chen Luyang was still looking forward to receiving some kind of reward on the May Fourth Youth Day. It would be such a loss if his benefits were deducted because he was away on business.

Wang Qingzhou sighed helplessly.

"understood."

……

That night, I learned that Chen Luyang was going to Shishan Machinery Factory to help.

Without saying a word, Chen Dazhi directly lifted up the largest box in the house and took out the largest floral cloth basket in the house to pack a bundle for Chen Luyang.

Feng Jiuxiang put on her clothes, put on a scarf, and went out with a basket to buy sesame cakes for Chen Luyang.

"No... Mom and Dad, what are you two doing?"

Chen Luyang looked at his parents in confusion, not understanding why the two of them made such a big move.

"I went to the Shishan Machinery Factory and helped them look over the agreement. After that, I went home."

"Maybe I'll arrive in the morning, finish my work during the day, and go home in the evening."

Before Chen Luyang finished speaking, Chen Dazhi responded with a sentence:
"Come on! That's what they told me back then, and I ended up staying there from winter to summer without even a spare piece of clothing or socks."

"If it weren't for the kind-hearted engineer at the Shishan Machinery Factory who gave me his pants and shirt to wear, I would have gotten a huge heat rash!"

Feng Jiuxiang also said: "That's right! When your father left, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!!"

"When your dad comes back, you'll be squatting in the corner taking a shit in your little cotton jacket."

"Your dad is so skinny, his face is sunken."

Thinking back to what happened, Feng Jiuxiang felt sorry for her old man.

This time her son was also picked up by Shishan Machinery Factory, so she had to bring more delicious food for her son.

"Need not!"

Chen Luyang decisively grabbed Feng Jiuxiang and pulled her back.

"Our Director Wang has already told me that I'll be back as soon as I'm done with this mission. If they detain me, Director Wang will personally take the train to pick me up."

Chen Luyang said as he brought the vegetable basket over.

"Besides, your son is not someone who can afford to suffer any loss!"

Chen Luyang stuffed the big box back onto the cabinet.

"I'll only bring two days' worth of stuff. If they dare to keep me here, I'll just eat their food, drink their drinks, and dine on their food."

"I'll definitely make sure I'm well fed~"

Chen Luyang's tone became less and less concerned. "When it gets cold, I'll just strip them of their clothes! I'll make them want to get rid of me!"

Chen Dazhi looked at his son helplessly.

"Do you think the Shishan Machinery Factory is ours? You're eating, drinking, and stripping them. They'll need a ticket to use the cafeteria, and if you don't have one, you'll be out in the cold!"

Chen Luyang didn't care at all: "Dad, don't worry! I'm a shameless person."

"If they starve me, I will go to their factory director every day at mealtime to report on my work and wait to go to the cafeteria with him."

"I just can't believe he has the nerve to eat by himself and leave me starving next to him!"

joke!

He could even do what Wang Qingzhou did to give him a bath!
How could he still care about another factory manager who was thousands of miles away?

After these words were spoken, Chen Dazhi and Feng Jiuxiang's expressions became complicated.

My son is so shameless, he might really do such a thing.

Chen Luyang said, "Besides, the production schedule at the factory is so tight right now. I can't just leave the Italian engineer alone and work him to death for someone else."

"so!"

Chen Luyang happily took out the newly bought Zhongshan suit from the closet, put it on neatly, and glanced at her hairstyle in the mirror on the wall.

"Mom, you have such good taste! The dress you picked for me is so beautiful!"

Chen Luyang turned around happily, stood straight in front of Chen's father and mother, and asked:
"So, you look like a senior engineer, don't you?"

Chen Dazhi glanced at his son and said "Tsk".

Feng Jiuxiang's face was full of joy.

She walked up to her son and straightened Chen Luyang's collar with both hands. She became happier and happier as she looked at him.

"I fell in love with this Zhongshan suit the moment I saw it. It's formal and stylish, and it suits you perfectly."

Chen Luyang laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I'll wear this Zhongshan suit and carry a small briefcase and leave."

"The main goal is to travel light and return to Jiangling in one day!"

……

For this business trip, Wang Qingzhou not only asked Chairman Jia for leave for Chen Luyang.

A car was specially sent from the factory to take Chen Luyang to the train station.

Sitting on the train and looking at the people squeezing into the carriage with all their bags and luggage, Chen Luyang felt that studying was still useful.

My own baggage is all in my head.

Take it with you when you want and go when you want.

As I walked out of Pianercheng Railway Station, I saw a man holding a big sign that read "Shishan Machinery Factory" and walking around among the crowd in front of the station.

"Hello, comrade. I'm Chen Luyang from the Provincial Capital Machinery Factory!"

Chen Luyang walked over enthusiastically and shook hands with the person holding the sign.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Luyang, I'm Wu Jun from the Shishan Machinery Factory office."

Wu Jun called out to Chen Luyang: "The car is in front, I'll take you to the factory."

Chen Luyang: "Okay!"

……

Shishan Machinery Factory is located among the mountains.

The car slowly drove out of the city, into the mountains, and drove forward along a tunnel.

"Comrade, you are in a very deep position here!"

Chen Luyang looked at the scenery outside the car window, then looked at the tunnel ahead that seemed to have no end, and said with emotion.

"Almost all of our factory's production work is related to armaments, so we have to be secretive!" Wu Jun said with a smile.

"It took us five years to dig this tunnel."

Chen Luyang was filled with awe: "Incredible!"

The military vehicle drove for nearly an hour, and gradually, a small gray shop appeared in front of the road.

In front of the iron gate stood two soldiers guarding it.

After checking the documents brought by Wu Jun and Chen Luyang, they agreed to let the car pass.

Chen Luyang secretly raised his eyebrows.

Good fellow… Other factories have the mailroom guys watching over them, but here they have two armed men! The car drove through the gate and along the path for a few minutes before a large open space suddenly opened up and caught Chen Luyang's sight!
In the open space, in addition to the factory building that Chen Luyang was familiar with, dozens of rows of guns and cannons were placed on the ground.

Technical workers in military uniforms, carrying tools, carefully inspected the cannons row by row.

Chen Luyang widened his eyes.

"Comrade, did you build all these cannons?"

Wu Jun smiled and said, "We have them all. The ones you see are the cannons sent from the military district that need repair and inspection."

"The guns and cannons we make are all in the factory, not on the ground."

Chen Luyang looked at the cannons in surprise.

He didn't know much about cannons and guns, and had never seen one in real life.

This was the first time he saw it, and he was very excited.

Maybe it’s a different atmosphere in each factory.

The atmosphere here is much more serious than that of the machinery factory.

Most of the people I met on the road were wearing military uniforms, holding notebooks in their hands, walking with their backs straight and their steps full of wind!

Although the Zhongshan suit I'm wearing looks and is of the right style!

But compared to that military uniform, it just feels a little off.

"It would be nice if I could bring back a military uniform when I leave."

While Chen Luyang was thinking about this, the car had already stopped in front of a four-story office building.

The office building is beautifully built.

The red brick wall is topped by a round roof, which, combined with the green hills in the distance, creates a uniquely elegant and heavy atmosphere.

Walking into the office building door,
After registering with the security guard on the first floor and checking the contents of his bag, Chen Luyang followed Wu Jun up the stairs and headed straight to the factory director's office on the second floor.

Unfortunately, He Dahua was in a meeting in the conference room at that time.

Wu Jun originally wanted to take Chen Luyang back to his office to wait, but Chen Luyang said there was no rush and just wait in the corridor.

Finally, it was when the factory director's secretary came out of the conference room to change the thermos of water for the factory directors to make tea that he discovered Chen Luyang.

"Mr. Chen, Director He is in a meeting. Please come to my office and sit for a while."

"My office is right next to the conference room."

As he spoke, the factory director's secretary quickly walked to a room diagonally opposite the conference room, took out the key, opened the door, and invited Chen Luyang and Wu Jun in.

Just entered the house,
The factory director's secretary opened the metal cabinet near the door with great familiarity, took out two white porcelain cups and tea leaves, and poured a cup of tea for Chen Luyang and Wu Jun respectively.

"Thank you, comrade!"

Chen Luyang stood up with both hands and took the teacup, then sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

After waiting for half an hour, the door of the conference room finally opened.

He Dahua and several other people in military uniforms came out. Chen Luyang immediately stood up and walked over enthusiastically:
"Director He, I'm here to report!"

"Oh! Xiao Chen!!!"

He Dahua's eyes lit up and he reached out and patted Chen Luyang on the shoulder.

"Your Director Wang treats you like a precious gem. I made over a dozen calls, and finally had to find Deputy Minister Yuan to invite you here!"

"When did you arrive?"

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "I arrived this morning. After Director Wang told me about the task, I bought a ticket and rushed here immediately!"

He Dahua was relieved to hear this: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Chen! Now that you're here, just treat everything as if you were at home. The factory has arranged accommodation and other things for you. Later, Xiao Wu, take Xiao Chen to familiarize herself with the factory."

Wu Jun immediately replied from the side: "Don't worry, Director."

He Dahua was chatting warmly with Chen Luyang when a tall, thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at Chen Luyang and suddenly said:

"Is your father Dazhi?"

Chen Luyang nodded: "Yes, my father is Chen Dazhi. Do you know my father?"

The middle-aged man's expression was immediately filled with love and hate, and his eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life, as if he was "recalling the glorious past years":
"It's more than just acquaintance!"

"That year, your father came wearing only a military overcoat and a cotton-padded jacket. He didn't bring any extra clothes."

"What socks, vest, and shorts are all mine!"

When Chen Luyang heard this, it matched!

He said happily: "It seems that my dad was quite thin when he was young!"

With Old Chen's big body now, he can hold the whole middle-aged man.

"Xiao Chen'er, you are wrong to say this."

He Dahua laughed and said, "Dazhi was not thin back then. He could make three or four steamed buns in one meal."

"Old Jiao got sick a few years ago, and that's why he lost weight."

Chen Luyang was stunned for a moment.

He observed Lao Jiao carefully and found that the middle-aged man's clothes were obviously too loose, and the skin on his chin and face was very loose, and there was some swelling under his eyes. In terms of energy and spirit, he was not as strong as Lao Chen.

"This is Jiao Qian, our factory's deputy director, senior engineer, and technical expert. He's also in charge of our cooperation with Japanese companies."

As He Dahua spoke, he led Chen Luyang to his office.

"We have already conducted preliminary communication and negotiations with the Japanese company and will reach an agreement with them tomorrow."

"The translator we hired before was pretty good. But he always failed at crucial moments, causing us headaches and leg pain. He put us in a very passive position..."

When He Dahua mentioned the previous Japanese translation, his tone became stiff.

"Although the Japanese brought an interpreter who can help with communication, when it comes to cooperation, it's always reassuring to have someone close by."

Defenses can not do without.

If the other party's translator had some bad intentions, or took advantage of the language barrier to make Shishan Machinery Factory sign an unfavorable contract, the consequences would be serious!
Chen Luyang immediately responded, "Don't worry, Director He. I promise to do my best to translate the translation and keep a close eye on it for us."

After He Dahua and Chen Luyang finished discussing the key points, they exchanged a few brief words and then warmly escorted him out of the office, allowing Chen Luyang to go and rest first.

Wu Jun, who had been waiting outside, saw Chen Luyang coming out of the factory director's office. He was just about to go over and take Chen Luyang to familiarize himself with the factory area and rest in the arranged dormitory.

As a result, Jiao Qian intercepted it.

"Come on, Xiao Chen'er~~I'll take you to see the place where Dazhi stayed!"

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up!
"Okay!"

I heard that the Shishan Machinery Factory had a part that it couldn't produce, and in the end Chen Dazhi had to hammer it out one by one.

For this matter, the department awarded Chen Dazhi the third-class merit.

He was also personally received by the minister at the conference of advanced model workers and individuals and was awarded a medal.

"go!"

Jiao Qian led Chen Luyang down the stairs.

Wu Jun had no choice but to trot along beside Chen Luyang, not daring to leave for a moment.

Unlike the aircraft parts and automobile parts in the machinery factory, the workshop of Shishan Machinery Factory is filled with cannons and guns.

All of them are very tough weapons.

Entering the workshop,

Jiao Qian patted an inconspicuous gas bottle next to the machine tool and said, "This is what your father made!"
