Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 41 The Male Leading Lady in the Factory
Song Liaosha had a sad face and cried miserably, "Brother Zhu, purchasing is not something that ordinary people can do."

"It's the hottest time of the year, and I've been running outside every day. I'm almost dying of heat, and my skin has been sunburned."

"My section chief is going to Hongjin in a few days to discuss purchasing, and I have to go to the train station and queue up to buy a ticket."

Chen Luyang cursed with a smile:
"Don't cry all over the place with the guys. Everyone in the factory knows that the purchasing department is a great place. When you go back to Hongjin, don't forget to bring me some fried dough twists."

"And me! Bring me some twists too!"

Zhu Xinghuo also raised his hand to take it.

Hongjin's hemp twists are famous throughout the country. If you happen to come across someone who goes there, you must take advantage of them.

Song Liaosha rolled her eyes at them both.

"Do you two leaders need to tell me this? After I buy them, I will send them to your homes one by one."

The three were chatting happily when they heard bursts of laughter coming from the hotel entrance.

Four or five young women in factory uniforms sat next to Chen Luyang and the others, chatting and laughing.

Chen Luyang and the other two were at the peak of their vigor.
Seeing the young and beautiful girl, everyone couldn't help but look over.

"The new girl who joined the factory is so pretty." Zhu Xinghuo praised sincerely.

Chen Luyang tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks. "Hey, hey, hey, why are you still looking at the pot while eating from the bowl? Aren't the girls in the restaurant just as pretty?"

Although there are not many good-looking gay men in the hotel, there are quite a few pretty girls.

Zhu Xinghuo glanced at him.

"No matter how pretty a girl is, she won't be pretty if she becomes a colleague. She still has to be a young flower outside."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so disgusting." Chen Luyang looked disgusted.

"It's good enough to have a flower to look at! You're still being picky."

Listening to the chattering of the little girls next to them, the three of them ate and chatted.

Zhu Xinghuo: "Old Chen, you haven't told me yet, how is your workshop going now?"

Chen Luyang: "It's great! We have only 18 people in our workshop, and the environment is simple. Although the work is heavy, I enjoy it."

This group of technicians are all working hard to build cars. There is no intrigue in the workshop. Chen Luyang really likes it here.

Zhu Xinghuo looked around and asked, "Did you hear about the quarrel between several factory leaders a few days ago?"

Hearing the factory leaders quarreling, Chen Luyang's eyes lit up instantly:
"When did it happen? Tell me!"

"You don't know?"

Zhu Xinghuo looked at the two curious babies in surprise: "Such a big thing, and you two don't even know about it?"

Song Liaosha said anxiously, "Hey, hurry up and tell me. I'm out and about all the time. How would I know what's going on at the factory?"

Chen Luyang: "That's right! I'm in the workshop from morning till night, and they bring me lunch from the cafeteria. How could I possibly know what's going on with the factory leaders?"

Zhu Xinghuo was speechless.

Originally, he was looking for gossip and wanted to get some information from Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha.
But I didn’t expect these two people to be so useless that they didn’t even know about this!
"I heard that a few days ago, Deputy Director Dong and Deputy Director Yu had an argument in the director's office over funding."

"The two sides argued fiercely, and in the end, whoever achieved research results first would get more R&D funding."

Chen Luyang frowned.

Although he had heard Hao Fengchun say before that the reform was to solve the problem of food security for large factories employing tens of thousands of people.

But in fact, he didn't have a strong sense of crisis about the financial problem. After all, the salary at the factory had always been good, and his family had enough food and drink.

But it wasn't until he heard Zhu Xinghuo say today that the factory was competing for the allocation of funds for workshop research and development that he began to feel a little uneasy.

“The factory is even fighting over reform funding?”

"That's for sure!"

Zhu Xinghuo lowered his voice.

"If it wasn't because they were out of money, why would the factory reform?"

Song Liaosha shook her head: "That's not right. The factory has no money. I think we have quite a lot of funds for purchasing."

Zhu Xinghuo glared at him. "How much do you spend on procurement? How much does it cost to develop a project? How can they be the same?"

"Anyway! I heard that both workshops are trying their best to be the first to come up with results."

Chen Luyang listened to Zhu Xinghuo's words for a long time, then asked in confusion:
"Old Zhu, where did you get all this information?"

"I, a member of the fusion workshop, don't know these things. How do you know?"

"Everyone in the factory knows about it, except you two!" Zhu Xinghuo glanced at him.

"I'm convinced too. Old Song is in the purchasing department, so it's okay if he doesn't know about these things."

"You don't even know about this in the workshop. This is unbelievable!"

Chen Luyang said helplessly: "The main thing is that our director just tells us to work all day long and doesn't tell us anything else!"

was saying,

The laughter of the female comrades at the table next to them grew louder and louder, reaching Chen Luyang's table.

"Who is Chen Luyang? Our stationmaster is really curious and keeps asking me."

A girl's clear voice came into Chen Luyang's ears.

Chen Luyang suddenly heard his own name: ???
The hottest gossip in the factory right now is the blind date between Cao Qinghang from the Fusion Workshop and Jiang Xiaohua from the Radio Station.
I usually never leave the factory and don’t even go to the cafeteria for lunch. Logically, I shouldn’t be so famous!

The three men immediately shut their mouths in tacit understanding and pricked up their ears to listen to the girls talking.

"Now there's a rumor going around that a male actress has come to the factory. Not only is he good-looking, but he can also sing like a woman."

"The station manager of our radio station has asked me several times to point out who that person is."

"But their fusion workshop is becoming increasingly secretive. They don't even go to the cafeteria, and you can hardly see them there."

Chen Luyang: ...

It’s been so long since I disguised myself as a girl to apply for a job at the radio station, how come it’s still being publicized in the factory?

The key point is that the radio station now has both male and female announcers, so there is no point in finding him?
"Brother Chen, is there a girl who likes you and wants to introduce you to someone?"

Song Liaosha asked in a gossipy voice.

Chen Luyang frowned. "No way! I'm so busy with work right now, how can I have time for a date? I still have to take the college entrance exam next year!"

Zhu Xinghuo: ...

How come these two are already dating each other when they haven't even started dating yet?

Looking at the serious expressions of Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha, Zhu Xinghuo gritted his teeth and said:
"If you don't have time to date, introduce them to me! I have time!!!"
