Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 346: It’s Okay If I Don’t Pass the Exam…

Dong Mangui counterattacked: "Aren't you curious?"

"Our workshop has finally started to improve under the director's leadership. If he leaves, what will happen if we return to the same state as before?"

After saying this, the four team leaders fell silent.

"I don't think so..." Zhao Yuejin analyzed calmly.

"There are more than 150 people in the workshop now. I was drinking with the guys from the personnel department a while ago, and they said the factory will be expanding its staff this year."

"Our workshop is now a key department in car manufacturing, and we also need to lay off staff and personnel... Besides, the director has already led us to improve the technology. As long as there are no major mistakes, the workshop cannot return to its previous state."

Sun Jianbo sighed softly: "I finally had two days of good life, but why does the director want to take the college entrance examination?"

Huang Pingtao also frowned and sighed.

He did not have as strong a desire to become director as Dong Mangui.

He has been working in the rubber workshop since he started working. When the workshop was about to be disbanded, he was more upset than anyone else.

Now the workshop has finally started to improve.

He really hoped that Chen Luyang could work here for a few more days and make the workshop better and better.

Ugh……

It would be great if the director could not pass the exam.

Huang Pingtao didn't dare to say this out loud and could only think about it in his heart.

……

Fusion Workshop
Xiao Wu reorganized the technical translation of Marco Polo and Ebe Wataru Ichirō that Chen Luyang had done previously.
Every detail in it was rechecked.

"Xiao Chen is gone, what are we going to do with these technical jobs in the future..."

Xiao Wu spoke with some depression.

"Find someone else!" Cao Qinghang looked down at the drawings and replied subconsciously.

"It's not that easy to find..." Xiao Wu frowned.

Their machinery factory was really screwed by the Japanese translator they hired before.

I finally went to Pianer City and invited people here.

As a result, I didn't do any translation work for a whole day and I was completely exhausted.

"It's easy to find." Cao Qinghang said calmly.

"There are so many people in our country, isn't it easy to hire a few translators?"

"When Xiao Chen goes to Pianer City, let him find it for us!"

Cao Qinghang had anticipated this.

Yu Anshan and Hao Fengchun must have been fooled before, so they found such an unreliable person.

If it were Chen Luyang, he would definitely be able to find someone to do the job.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was immediately happy.

"Right! Let Xiao Chen find it for us. He's so skilled, an ordinary idiot wouldn't be able to fool him."

As he was speaking, Chen Luyang came into the house, hopping and skipping, leaning on a crutch.

"What are you asking me to look for? I heard your loud voice outside."

When Xiao Wu saw Chen Luyang, he immediately showed an attentive look on his face and went to greet him in an extremely exaggerated manner:
"Hey~ Isn't this the classmate Luyang that my third grandfather entrusted to me?"

Xiao Wu put his arm around Chen Luyang's shoulders in a sarcastic tone:

"My third grandfather told me to answer any of your requests. No matter what stupid questions you ask, even if you ask me what 2 plus 1 equals, I will give you a detailed and careful answer."

Chen Luyang pushed Xiao Wu away with a look of disgust.

"You only know 2 plus 1..."

"What did you just say? What did you want me to find?"

Xiao Wu said, "We asked you to help find a translator."

"When you go to school in the second half of the year, there will be a vacancy for a translator in the factory. We can't just stop working."

These words really touched Chen Luyang's heart.

"Come to think of it, I actually found a pretty good Japanese translator."

Chen Luyang jumped back to his workstation and said:
"Didn't I work as an interpreter for our provincial leaders before? It's quite nice to meet such a good interpreter."

"Although the young translator's Japanese is a little weak, his basic skills and communication abilities are quite good. With some training, he could become a translator in the factory."

Hearing Chen Luyang praising the translation, Cao Qinghang and others became excited.

"What's the name of the young translator you are talking about, and where does he work?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I just know her name is Kong Chengju, but I really don't know where she works." Chen Luyang replied.

Before, he and Xiao Kong always met at work, and it was usually evening after a day's work.

Everyone was so tired that they went home and had no energy to talk any more.
During the day, everyone is focused on serving their leaders and has no time to chat.

So Chen Luyang really didn't know where Kong Chengju worked.

"Kong Chengju? What a masculine name!" Xiao Wu said with a sigh.

"Don't talk nonsense, she's just a little girl." Chen Luyang quickly corrected.

Don't look back. When the little girl comes, these guys will continue to receive her according to the etiquette of gentlemen, otherwise she will be scared again.

"female?!"

Xiao Wu widened his eyes.

"What did the parents come up with, naming their little girl this?"

Chen Luyang said, "Don't worry about what their parents are like. I'll contact them later to see if they're free."

"If possible, let her help us for a while."

"Anyway, I'll be back during the winter and summer holidays. If you have any questions, we can still call."

Although the telephone penetration rate is not very high now, there are telephones in the workplace.

At that time, Chen Luyang can install a telephone in the car maintenance and repair center to facilitate communication with people in the factory.

Cao Qinghang looked up and looked at Chen Luyang's legs.

"I say, your legs, can't you walk?"

Chen Luyang said: "Yes, I am just thinking about strengthening it."

These legs have been with me my whole life, so there's nothing wrong with taking good care of them!

Cao Qinghang thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd like to ask Director Lu Yang."

"If we were to discuss work now and ask you to translate the materials, would that delay your precious time preparing for the college entrance exam?"

Chen Luyang rubbed his chin with his right hand in a pretentious manner.

"It's a delay, but it's still a bit of a delay."

"But it's not a big problem, the work is still going on normally."

A cold light flashed in Cao Qinghang's eyes.

That’s what you said!!
Before Chen Luyang could recover from his arrogance,

He was carried up with his crutch, just like the wife of a bandit leader, and was locked up in a dark room.

"Don't think of anything until I finish translating this!"

Along with Cao Qinghang's cold voice, the big wooden door of the small dark room was slammed shut.

Chen Luyang looked at the 6-centimeter-thick material on the table: Huh? ! !

……

at the same time
Provincial Machinery Factory Canteen
Chen's mother and several young workers were squatting on the ground picking leeks.

"Jiuxiang~ Why did I hear that your second child is going to take the college entrance exam?"

The little sister spoke curiously.

Chen's mother pretended to be annoyed: "Of course! I don't know what's wrong with him. He insists on taking the college entrance exam."

"You said he didn't study hard at school, but he became distracted after going to work."

The little sister asked curiously: "So which exam will your second child take?"

Mother Chen followed the rhetoric she had arranged with her family long ago and said:

"I heard he wanted to apply to a technical school."

"Technical school?! How could Director Chen possibly get into a technical school? I think he could easily get into a provincial university."

"I'd be very happy if he could get into a technical school, especially one in the province."

Although Chen's mother complained, her face was already full of joy.

Tell me, how come this son brings honor to himself like this?
She couldn't even imagine how envious and jealous these girls in the cafeteria would look at her when her son got the admission letter from Peking University!

When I think of this,
Mother Chen straightened her back unconsciously.

Even the chives in her hand smelled fragrant. Mother Chen was happily picking chives when Mrs. Xiao Wang suddenly spoke:
"Jiuxiang~Are you not going to buy something for the Luyang College Entrance Examination this time?"

Mother Chen was stunned.

"What should I buy?"

Mrs. Wang said in a daze, "It was to give your son a good luck!"

"I heard that the wife of the warehouse manager, Old Yan, made herself a cheongsam so that her daughter could get into college. She said she wanted to have a successful start!"

Chen's mother refused without hesitation.

"Come on, I'm already so old, and if I still wear a cheongsam, won't that make me look like an old witch?"

It would be fine if a young girl secretly made a cheongsam to wear.

I'm so old now and my waistline has become bigger.

It would be so shabby to wear a cheongsam.

Mrs. Xiao Wang offered a suggestion: "Instead of wearing a cheongsam, we can make a new dress!"

"It's all very colorful anyway. You're wearing new clothes, and your son will be happy to see you. Maybe he'll get into Peking University!"

Mother Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Come to think of it, I have been worrying about my three children and my old man for so many years, and the skirts I am wearing are all modified versions of old styles, and they are indeed too old.

Now we are entering the height of summer,

The outdoor dancing activities at the Workers’ Cultural Palace are about to begin again. I can really make a new skirt that fits me and wear it when dancing!

"Then I'll make a whole one???"

Mother Chen looked at her little sister eagerly.

"Get it fixed! You have to fix it! I'll go with you!"

Mrs. Xiao Wang was full of pride and patted her chest openly.

……

weekend,

Mother Chen finished her meal early and went out holding Mrs. Wang's arm.

Ever since she found out that her son and Chen Jinyue were no longer together, Chen's mother has been trying to avoid suspicion.

If you can avoid going to state-owned stores, don’t go there.

The main point is to never cause trouble for my son.

But not today...

Mrs. Wang accompanied Chen's mother to visit so many tailor shops, but she didn't like any of the clothes in any of them.

Either the color is not to my liking, or the style is not fashionable enough.
Walking around, choosing and choosing,

The clothes in state-owned stores are still the newest, the most beautiful, and the best fabrics.

There was no other choice, so Chen's mother could only secretly follow Mrs. Wang into the state-owned store.

But what puzzled her was,

State-owned stores are busy on weekends, but she saw Meng Meng's shadow every time she walked around the entire clothing area.

Hey……

No one is here?
The famous investigator Ms. Feng Jiuxiang once again scanned the area with her sharp eyes!
After confirming again and again that Meng Meng was not there, Chen's mother finally felt relieved and happily started looking at clothes in the store.

Two people were walking around the store looking around.

After looking around, Chen's mother still felt reluctant to spend the money, so she bought a piece of cloth and planned to go home and find a tailor to make it herself.

The two of them wandered around the state-owned store for a while.

When it was time to check out, Chen's mother curiously asked the salesperson:

"Comrade, please inquire."

"There was a little girl named Meng selling goods here before, why don't I see her?"

The salesperson glanced at him and asked, "Are you talking about Meng Meng?"

Mother Chen nodded: "Yes, it's her."

The salesperson said coldly, "She quit her job."

"Quitting?!" Mother Chen's eyes widened.

"Why not?"

The salesperson said unhappily, "How would I know? I'm not familiar with her."

Mother Chen looked at the salesperson's expression and said nothing.

We are colleagues in the same unit, how can we be so unkind?
After buying the fabric, Chen's mother returned to the machinery factory, asked the tailor to measure her size, paid the money, and then happily went home to cook for the children.

Xiaoling and Junjun took advantage of Chen Luyang's college entrance examination and were able to eat all kinds of delicious food with Chen Luyang every day.

I eat milk, eggs, and chicken legs over and over again.

Xiaoling's face has become fatter.
Junjun's height suddenly grew by several centimeters, and he was much taller than the little bean sprout at the beginning.

On the contrary, Chen Luyang has become indifferent to all food since he experienced a whole week of being fed delicious food at the provincial hospital.

As long as you can eat enough.

Otherwise, eating too much will make you sleepy.

Almost done.

"Uncle, isn't your right leg injured? Why are you using crutches on your left leg today?" Junjun asked puzzledly.

"Don't you understand this?"

Chen Luyang sat next to Junjun with a swagger on his face.
He bit his sleeve, clenched his right fist, and struck a standard pose to show off his big arms.

"Look what this is!"

“This is an arm.”

"What arm? That's a big muscle!"

Chen Luyang was extremely satisfied with the big muscles on his arms.

I've been using crutches these days, and it's really tiring to jump around.

But surprisingly, his arms were much stronger.

My wrists are stronger too.

It’s just that I always use a crutch with my right hand, so the force is unevenly distributed and my left arm looks a little weak.

For the sake of health and balance, Chen Luyang decided to use a crutch with his left hand.

"I think you're really free!"

The eldest sister Chen Lihong cursed helplessly.

"If your leg is healed, take off the crutches immediately."

"It's getting scary every day."

Chen Luyang was stubborn: "I won't!"

Chen Lihong was speechless and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Although Chen Luyang said "I won't", he still took off his crutches when he went to work the next day.

The reason is simple: I'm too tired.

This thing does train muscles, but it's really hard to walk.

Chen Luyang was always jumping around, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But no one expected that as soon as he threw away his crutches, Yu Anshan asked him to pack his luggage and go with him on a business trip to Pianer City to inspect the address.

This matter has been dragging on for too long.

If Chen Luyang hadn't injured his leg, Yu Anshan would have taken him to Pianer City long ago.

Seeing that Chen Luyang was able to walk, the office communicated with the Ministry of Industry and then bought two berths according to the arrangement of the factory leaders.

The next morning, a car was specially sent to take Yu Anshan and Chen Luyang out.

Chen Luyang can be said to be very familiar with Pianer City.

I came to Shishan Machinery Factory several times as a translator.
Every time I finished translating, the factory director He Dahua would treat me to a good meal in the city.

Chen Luyang is pretty familiar with the roads and environment in Pianer City.

After getting off the train,

Chen Luyang nimbly carried his and Yu Anshan's luggage and followed the crowd towards the exit.

At this time, the train station exit,
Director Liu from the Ministry of Industry was standing on tiptoe on the high platform nearby, his eyes constantly scanning the crowd.

As he watched, Director Liu waved happily:
"Director Yu! This way!!!"
