Chapter 39 Why don’t you come to the blind date?
……

Although everyone was embarrassed by Mr. Cao's authority, no one dared to joke with him about the blind date.

But more than a dozen pairs of eyes closely follow his itinerary every day.

However, everyone waited for a whole week, and Cao Qinghang was still working hard in the workshop.

Apart from eating and going to the toilet, I either work in the workshop or rest in the dormitory.

There is absolutely no intention of going on a blind date.

After the technological breakthroughs of the past few days,
The workshop has already drawn up a rough plan for the construction of the car.

Once we figure out the last step, we can recruit people from other workshops and start making parts.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work,

Chen Luyang put down his pen and rubbed his sore head.

Just when he was about to ask Xiao Wu to go out and smoke a cigarette and cool down,
A soft and pleasant voice sounded from the workshop door:
"Excuse me, is this the fusion workshop?"

"Yes, what's up?"

"I want to find someone..."

Chen Luyang put down his pen and frowned slightly.

This noise...why does it sound so familiar?
Suddenly, Chen Luyang slapped his thigh and ran out of the workshop. After seeing the person coming, he said happily:
"Jiang Xiaohua, it's actually you!"

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with joy: "Chen Luyang! Why are you here?"

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "I'm in the fusion workshop!"

Jiang Xiaohua was surprised and said, "You're amazing! I didn't expect you to be able to enter the fusion workshop. I didn't realize you were quite capable."

Chen Luyang said modestly, "Talent always shines on its own and is easily discovered. It can't be hidden."

Before they finished speaking, both of them couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I just heard you say you were looking for someone. Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Cao Qinghang, is he here?"

Jiang Xiaohua spoke without hesitation.

Looking for Mr. Cao?
Chen Luyang's mind moved.

Could it be that she came here for a blind date?

Recently, the brothers in the workshop have been eagerly watching Engineer Cao’s blind date!
Although he had guessed it almost right, Chen Luyang still pretended not to know and asked:
"Yes, yes. What do you want to talk to our Engineer Cao about? He's quite busy."

Jiang Xiaohua said calmly, "No big deal, I just wanted to see what the man who stood me up on the blind date looks like."

Chen Luyang: “…”

The heroine is here to ask for punishment!
No wonder Mr. Cao hasn’t mentioned a word about blind dates recently!

It turns out he didn't go at all!

A woman like Jiang Xiaohua will never lack attention wherever she goes.

For a woman like Jiang Xiaohua, standing her up on a blind date was undoubtedly a form of contempt and humiliation.

She clearly came to settle accounts with Cao Qinghang.

It’s not easy to pass this level with Mr. Cao!

In line with the idea that happiness is better shared than happiness alone,
Chen Luyang showed an evil look and shouted towards the workshop:

"Engineer Cao! Jiang Xiaohua is here to see you!"

This shout spread throughout the entire fusion workshop.

When the technicians working in the workshop heard this, they immediately became alert.

"Jiang Xiaohua is here?!"

There are few women in the workshop, and it's basically just a group of men going over blueprints every day.

But Jiang Xiaohua is different!
That is the mechanical sound that accompanies them as they work and rest every noon!

Amidst the excitement of the crowd,

Cao Qinghang raised his head from the blueprint, looked at everyone blankly, and asked:

"Who is Jiang Xiaohua? I don't know him."

Xiao Wu was almost worried to death.

"Jiang Xiaohua!"

"The flower at the radio station!"

"The one who wants to go on a blind date with you!!!" Cao Qinghang finally realized: "Her! Why did she come to see me?"

He put down his pencil, stood up and walked out of the workshop.

From a distance, I could see a slender and graceful figure standing next to Chen Luyang.

Jiang Xiaohua stood at the door of the workshop, looking at the man walking towards her.

The man was tall and thin, and looked very tired. There seemed to be a fire burning in his black pupils, filled with wisdom and a desire to not admit defeat. There was a hint of pride in his expression.

“This is our Cao Gong.”

After Chen Luyang finished speaking with a wicked smile, he quickly slipped to the side and mingled with the crowd of people secretly watching, watching the fun and wanting to hear what the two people were talking about.

But the first sentence they heard surprised everyone.

"I had a blind date yesterday, why didn't you come?"

Jiang Xiaohua looked up at Cao Qinghang and asked a question that stunned Cao Qinghang.

He has been concentrating all his attention on the car these days and has no extra energy to think about anything else.

Cao Qinghang said honestly, "I was working overtime yesterday to finish the drawings, so I forgot about it."

Jiang Xiaohua: "So you forgot. I thought you didn't like me and didn't come on purpose."

Cao Qinghang: "No, no, I'm busy with work. I didn't mean to miss the trip."

Jiang Xiaohua chuckled and asked, "So you've chosen me?"

Cao Qinghang was stunned.

He is usually best at research and manufacturing, and can talk endlessly about technical issues.

But the words of this woman in front of me were more tricky than a car, and there was no way to answer them.

He and Jiang Xiaohua just met for the first time today, how could there be any question of whether they liked each other or not?!
In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Cao Qinghang wants to express his attitude.

But when he saw Jiang Xiaohua's charming and lovely appearance, Cao Qinghang's words inexplicably stopped at his lips and he couldn't say a word.

"Cough cough..."

Cao Qinghang cleared his throat unnaturally.

"Comrade Jiang Xiaohua, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

Jiang Xiaohua looked at Cao Qinghang's slightly uneasy expression, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I waited for you for an hour at the old restaurant last night and didn't even have dinner."

"After get off work, you can treat me to a meal."

Cao Qinghang frowned.

"No, the workshop is working on a project tonight, I can't leave."

"What about tomorrow?"

"I can't say for sure tomorrow."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"...The day after tomorrow, I don't know yet."

Seeing Cao Qinghang thinking seriously, Jiang Xiaohua smiled.
"Then the day after tomorrow, you must come this time."

Saying,

Jiang Xiaohua didn't wait for Cao Qinghang's response, turned around and shouted to the technicians who were hiding from eavesdropping:

"You all help him remember it!"

"Remind him to treat me to dinner the day after tomorrow night!"

"If he forgets this time, I'll settle the score with you!"

When everyone heard this, they thought, "Did Jiang Xiaohua fall for Cao Qinghang?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Xiaohua! Engineer Cao's matter is our collective concern!"

Xiao Wu's loud voice came from the dark corner.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled with satisfaction.

"Go on, see you the day after tomorrow evening."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaohua waved at Cao Qinghang coquettishly, turned around and left.

Cao Qinghang looked at her back and stood there in a daze.

Why did we arrange this dinner?
