Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 80 Oriental Daily
The midday sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dots of light onto the road along the river.

This is the time to water and fertilize.
The cruise ships in the river cut across the water, creating ripples as bright as fish scales, dazzling like diamonds, making it impossible to look away.

Chen Jinyue sat stiffly on the back seat of the bicycle.

Although the sun was scorching, the young man on the bike blocked most of the sunlight, perfectly enclosing her in the shadow of his back.

Listening to the slight panting sound of the young man riding a bicycle,

Chen Jinyue raised his head subconsciously.

The middle of the young man's thin back was soaked with sweat.
Obviously sweating on clothes is a very annoying thing.

But being so close to Chen Luyang's sweat,
Not only did Chen Jinyue not feel the slightest bit disgusted, he even inexplicably felt that the shirt that soaked his back looked so good.

"Sister Yue, are you peeking at me?"

Suddenly, Chen Luyang's voice came from above his head.

Chen Jinyue's face flushed suddenly, but then he smiled and said:
"Yeah, look what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, Chen Luyang staggered slightly while riding his bike.

He just lowered his head through the shadow and felt that Chen Jinyue was looking at him, so he wanted to tease her.

But who knew that this sister wouldn’t play by the rules!

But Chen Luyang is also shameless.

He smiled and asked, "Does it look good?"

Chen Jinyue looked at the young man's back with satisfaction and said deceitfully:
"It doesn't look good. There's sweat all over the back of my clothes."

After saying this,

Chen Luyang immediately straightened his back, as if he was afraid that the sweat on his body would stick to Chen Jinyue, and he decisively kept his distance.

"Sister Yue, next time we go out to eat, we'll take a scooter instead of a bike."

Chen Luyang's voice sounded a little discouraged.

Originally, he took the motorcycle to come here for the sake of his image and to prevent his clothes from getting wet by sweat.

But I ended up sweating all over.

Chen Jinyue saw all of Chen Luyang's little movements and had a smile on his face.

If someone else had said this, she would have retorted, "Who's going to tell you there's a next time?"

But for Chen Luyang, she blurted out:

"Okay~"

……

The restaurant Chen Jinyue chose was in a small Western-style building along the river.

Last time, Chen Luyang treated her to Russian food, so as to reciprocate, she had to treat him to a similar restaurant.

The two of them sat under the window near the river and ordered their dishes.

Chen Jinyue took out a newspaper from his bag.

"this is for you."

"For me?"

Chen Luyang looked at the newspaper in Chen Jinyue's hand warily.

Recently, he has been scared by his whole family, fearing that Chen Jinyue would take out the provincial newspaper to vilify him.

However, seeing that Chen Jinyue didn't look like the real deal, Chen Luyang opened the newspaper doubtfully.

"Oriental Daily?"

Chen Luyang frowned.

The machinery factory subscribed to almost all the newspapers and magazines in the provincial capital, and he would read through them when he had nothing to do.

But he had never seen the publication "Oriental Daily".

But then,

The words "National Heavy Machinery Technology Symposium Report" appeared clearly on the page.

Chen Luyang suddenly thought of someone,

then,

He quickly turned the newspaper to the second page and looked for the reporter's name at the end of the report.

When I saw the words "Reporter: Zhou Yun"
Chen Luyang suddenly curled his lips and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Jinyue kept observing Chen Luyang's expression and asked:
"Why are you so happy?"

Chen Luyang said proudly: "Secret~"

Although he no longer worked at the hotel, secretly leading guests to eavesdrop on the national conference was still a violation of discipline.

It’s better to keep it secret as much as possible!
"So mysterious." Chen Jinyue was amused by Chen Luyang's proud look.

"Sister Yue, is this mailed to me?" Chen Luyang asked. "Yes! The mailing address is the hotel, and you are the one signing for it."

Chen Jinyue looked at the mysterious Chen Luyang curiously.

The restaurant had just opened and had few contacts with outside companies, let alone newspapers.

Chen Jinyue had just received a newspaper from Southern Newspaper, and the person who signed for it was Chen Luyang, which really made him curious.

"Sister Yue, did you come to me today just to give me the newspaper?"

"No, actually I have something I need your help with."

Chen Jinyue said, "The Provincial Cultural Bureau is currently carrying out international cultural exchanges, and the provincial capital will be hosting a Japanese tourist group in a few days."

"We would like you to come out and teach the children a few words of Japanese and sing a few Japanese songs."

"child?"

Chen Luyang didn't quite understand.

"Sister Yue, you're not teaching Japanese to your colleagues at the hotel, you're teaching the kids?"

"...Right! This isn't the hotel's job. I'll ask you on behalf of the Provincial Cultural Bureau first."

In fact, the Provincial Cultural Bureau can directly call the machinery factory to ask for the person.
But considering that Chen Jinyue and Chen Luyang are familiar with each other.

It might be better to talk it out privately first and then go through the official procedures.

Chen Luyang is very easy to talk to.

"I have no problem teaching Japanese, but I need to inform the factory about this."

Although the atmosphere and colleagues in the integration workshop are very good, I am still an employee of a company after all.

For things like helping out with work for external units, it is safer to report to the factory.

"That's natural." Chen Jinyue nodded.

"After all, we're asking you to come out, so you have to agree first. Only then will the Cultural Bureau be able to contact the factory."

Chen Luyang was curious:
"Sister Yue, the Provincial Cultural Bureau has arranged work in our hotel???"

Songting Hotel usually contacts the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Planning and Economic Commission.

However, this was the first time Chen Luyang heard of this communication with the Cultural Bureau.

Chen Jinyue gathered her hair awkwardly and said, "It's not a restaurant."

"My father is in charge of this work at the Cultural Bureau. I'm asking on his behalf."

"You should have told me earlier!"

Chen Luyang slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this being too formal with me?"

"If you had told me earlier that this was your family matter, I would have done whatever you asked me to do without a second thought!"

“When do you need to teach?”

"Have you chosen the Japanese song?"

"If there's nothing suitable, I know a few."

"When are you free? I'll go visit my uncle and sing a few songs for him."

"I'll teach him whichever he thinks is good!"

Chen Luyang spoke a lot like a machine gun.

When Chen Jinyue reacted, she covered her mouth and smiled, saying helplessly:
"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You agreed to this without even asking about the reward?"

Chen Luyang was stunned: "Why do you still need to ask for compensation?"

Isn't it right to help friends?
Besides, teaching Japanese is not a difficult task for him and it doesn't require any effort at all.

Looking at Chen Luyang's sincere look, Chen Jinyue smiled.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's eat first!"

After dinner, Chen Luyang didn't let Chen Jinyue go home, but begged her to accompany him shopping.

"Buy an electric fan? Do you have that much money?"

Chen Jinyue looked at Chen Luyang in surprise.

Electric fans are not cheap these days, each one costs more than 100 yuan.

An ordinary worker only earns a few dozen yuan a month, and would have to go without food or drink for at least three months to buy one.

"That's enough~ This is just a small amount~ I have a high salary~"

Chen Luyang spoke casually.
