Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 30 The Factory Manager Quarrels
"From now on, except for the materials given to me by Engineer Cao, which can be translated first, the rest of the materials will have to be queued up in order."

Chen Luyang said this, looking at Cao Qinghang.

Cao Qinghang immediately understood what he meant, and without even hesitation, he said:

"Then let's arrange it this way!"

"If you have any urgent information in the future, please come to me first and I will confirm whether it will be translated first."

"Do you have any comments?"

With Mr. Cao's words, who would dare to object?

"If you have no objection, then do it. Everyone get back to work!"

Cao Qinghang clapped his hands, and everyone turned around and returned to their work stations.

"Xiao Chen, the fusion workshop has actually been established for a while, but because the translation couldn't keep up, there hasn't been much progress until now. Everyone's been holding back for many days and is a little anxious. Don't take it personally."

Cao Qinghang walked over to Chen Luyang and patiently guided him.

In his eyes, Chen Luyang had just graduated from high school and came to work. It was inevitable that young people had some temper and a sharp personality.

But this is good!

It is always better to have a young man with vigor and ability than a cunning one.

"Engineer Cao, you have your work rhythm, and I have mine."

"I have a bad temper at work, so if I'm offended in any way, please don't take it personally."

Cao Qinghang laughed.

"How can you call this a bad temper? A few of us almost got into a fight over a piece of data before the Lunar New Year. Did you see the wound on Xiao Wu's head?"

Xiao Wu was the one who muttered "too slow", so Chen Luyang was particularly impressed by him.

"He was hit on the head?"

"No, I was so exhausted from the quarrel that I got stuck when I went out."

After saying that, Cao Qinghang and Chen Luyang burst into laughter.

When I returned to the office this time, Chen Luyang's room was finally quiet.

Translation is a lonely and extremely laborious job.
Chen Luyang was extremely tired, so he walked out of the workshop to smoke a cigarette to calm his mind, and then came back to continue translating.

The breeze outside the window blew through the green willows on the bank, and the sound of pen tips scratching on paper could be heard from time to time in the quiet little room.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door,
Chen Luyang thought it was someone else delivering materials, so he didn't even raise his head and said:

"Just put it on the table across from you."

The next moment, an aluminum lunch box and a bottle of soda were placed in front of him.

Chen Luyang looked up and saw Xiao Wu said awkwardly:
"This is some edamame we just brought back from the cafeteria. Since you're in the office and it's inconvenient for you to go out to eat, I packed a box for you."

Chen Luyang looked at the wound on his head. Although the scab had gone off, the red mark was still visible.

It was obvious that the card was stuck quite hard at that time.

"Thanks, brother. I'll secretly add some information to yours later. Don't tell anyone else."

After Chen Luyang finished speaking, Xiao Wu's awkward expression instantly turned into ecstasy!
"I knew you were someone I could get along with!"

Xiao Wu was so happy that he replaced his information with the first one without any hesitation, turned around and walked out happily.

As the first translation material with formal technical content was brought out, the eyes of everyone in the workshop looking at Chen Luyang were obviously different.

Not only would people call him "Xiao Chen" when they saw him, but even when he went out to smoke, there would be people who would follow him and smoke and chat with him.

The machinery factory's recruitment will soon be over.

Although the number of recruits this year has dropped significantly compared with previous years, all departments have also gained something.

However, the fusion workshop was a little weaker, as it only recruited a small seedling like Chen Luyang. This single seedling had to be watered by more than ten people every day.
Either he sends me soda today or buys me popsicles tomorrow, there is never a shortage of food and drinks.

Anyway, the factory would distribute cooling soda, tea and sugar in the summer, and each workshop would send someone to collect them.

Originally, the fusion workshop was led by a rotational team.

However, in order to allow Chen Luyang to concentrate on translation, everyone tacitly took over the duties of cleaning and getting tea and sugar for him.

In the end, Chen Luyang couldn't stand it anymore. His waist and buttocks hurt from sitting so much. He couldn't even go out to do some work. He could only be locked in a small dark room by a dozen strong men day after day, living a dark and shameful life.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed at Songting Hotel."

Chen Luyang regretted it.

He came here to get some peace and quiet so that he could have some time to review for the college entrance exam next year.

But this is so damn quiet!
Although it was a bit tiring to stay in the restaurant, at least there were people to talk to him and there were free candies and sodas to drink.

In the fusion workshop, he was like a mule working silently, doing nothing but eating and working.

At the same time, in the conference room on the second floor of the machinery factory

Director Wang, Deputy Director Yu, and Deputy Director Dong sat in a triangle at the round conference table, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Still shrinking?"

"The funding allocated to our fusion workshop is already insufficient. If the budget is cut further, we might as well give up altogether!"

"I'm going to disband the fusion workshop right now and let them all go home and feed their children!"

Yu Anshan slammed the table, his face flushed with anger, and the saliva from his mouth sprayed accurately onto the table in front of Director Wang.

"Old Yu, don't be upset,"

Director Wang advised, "You know the situation at the factory. The performance has been poor in recent years, and the factory's funds are limited, so naturally we have to cut back on our spending."

"Reduce!? Then why don't they reduce the funding for their Ascension Workshop?!"

Yu Anshan was so angry that he almost stood up and cursed.

Since the country reduced the purchase of military machinery a few years ago, the projects and income of the machinery factory have been decreasing year by year.

In order to increase revenue, the machinery factory responded to the call for "military to civilian" reform. Director Wang took drastic measures and began a "two-legged" reform.

First, the fusion workshop headed by Yu Anshan is responsible for the construction and production of cars.

The second is the ascension workshop headed by Dong Jiangchao, which is mainly responsible for the construction and production of helicopters.

"Old Yu, that's enough!"

Dong Jiangchao listened to Yu Anshan's rant for a long time, and finally couldn't help cursing:
"Most of the funding for your fusion workshop originally came from our ascension workshop!"

"Bullshit!" Yu Anshan spat out.

"The funds are all from the factory. Where is the item that says it's for your Ascension Workshop?"

"Besides, you're all very skilled at building helicopters. The technology is readily available, so you can build one anytime you want."

"We have to cross the river by feeling the stones when we are building our own car! How can we work without funds?"

Dong Jiangchao was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "Yu Anshan, don't talk nonsense!"

"Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones!"

"You think the helicopter is your bicycle? You can just change the wheels and use it!"

"Okay! Stop saying a few words!"

Wang Qingzhou couldn't stand it anymore and roared in anger.

As soon as he finished yelling, Wang Qingzhou's face changed. He took out a bottle of quick-acting heart pills from his shirt pocket and put them in his mouth and ate them.
