Time is like the married life of middle-aged people, getting faster and shorter.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived....
the next day.
Early in the morning, Li Dong came to the office. Before he could make tea, there was a knock on the office door.
The person who came in was Liang Ladi.
Liang Ladi's eyes were a little dark, and her face looked sleepy as if she hadn't slept all night.
After Li Donglai asked her to sit down, he poured her a cup of hot tea and asked curiously: "Comrade Liang Ladi, did you steal someone's house last night?"
Puff...Liang Ladi blew it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why did you steal someone else's house? Didn't you ask me to inquire about the situation in the machinery factory? I contacted a few of my former colleagues last night.
, I went to sit with my master for a while, and when I got home, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening."
"Thank you so much for all the hard work." Li Donglai said.
"No, brother Donglai, this is what I should do. Without you, Nan Yi and I wouldn't be able to be together. I will remember your kindness to me."
Seeing Liang Ladi's careless look, Li Donglai said nothing more.
"How is the situation in the machine shop now?"
"Hey, it's hard to explain." Liang Ladi sighed and said, "Ever since the director surnamed Huang was transferred to the machinery factory, the machinery factory has been in a mess. My master is an eighth-level welder, and he was suspended this month.
Wages were paid.”
"Why?" Li Donglai was surprised. Level 8 workers are the highest professional titles for workers. They have high prestige in the factory and can even discuss factory matters with the factory leaders.
"It's not because my master supported the factory director Liu Feng that angered Director Huang." Liang Ladi said angrily: "Then Director Huang tried his best to find a mistake, stopped my master's work, and made him have to go to school.
Come to the study class."
"How can a director be so powerful? Who is this Director Huang?"
"I heard from my master that Director Huang himself is nothing, and his wife's family is quite powerful. In addition, Factory Director Liu Feng has a soft temper, just like a scholar. Director Huang entered the factory and continued to play tricks
He used a dirty trick to not only seize a lot of power from Director Liu Feng, but also win over several middle-level leaders. Now even Director Liu Feng has a headache when facing Director Huang, otherwise my master
Nor can he be suspended."
After Liang Ladi finished speaking, Li Donglai fell into deep thought.
The machinery factory is a mess. Should they be given the task of producing semi-automatic assembly line equipment?
In fact, besides the machinery factory, Li Donglai has no better choice now.
For large state-owned factories, at the beginning of each year, ministries and commissions have allocated sufficient tasks according to their production capacity.
It is impossible to free up manpower and energy to produce these devices at this time.
Moreover, the technical difficulty required for these equipment is very high, and it is really impossible to get it done without investing a lot of effort.
Just when Li Donglai was hesitating, Liang Ladi's eyes moved, her little hands clenched slightly, and she said softly: "Director, don't you want to hand over the production of this batch of equipment to the machinery factory?"
"Well...I do have some concerns." Li Donglai said frankly.
Liang Ladi nodded: "I understand the importance of this batch of equipment, but please listen to what I say and then reconsider it."
Liang Ladi then described the current situation of the machinery factory in detail.
The machinery factory does not have much workload to begin with. On weekdays, the several hundred workers in the factory rely on subsidies from above, plus helping to repair agricultural machinery from surrounding communes to make a living.
If you live a little more frugally, you can barely make ends meet.
Since the arrival of Director Huang, Liu Feng has changed his diligent and thrifty style and made great arrangements, doing activities and programs in the machinery factory all day long.
The workers in the factory were all in panic, and their monthly wages could not be paid on time.
According to Liang Ladi's colleagues, the machinery factory has not paid wages for two months.
Because Liang Ladi's master was an eighth-level worker and had some savings before, he was able to hold on.
Those young workers, who have families to support, have a very difficult time.
When they heard that the rolling mill laboratory was willing to cooperate with the machinery factory, they were all very excited and wanted to ask Liang Ladi to speak kindly to the machinery factory in front of Li Donglai.
Liang Ladi was greatly favored by Li Donglai, so naturally she would not deceive Li Donglai on such a matter.
but.
She also couldn't watch her colleagues in the machinery factory being in trouble without lending a hand to help.
Back then, Liang Ladi was raising four children by herself, but she was able to survive thanks to the help of her colleagues.
....
After understanding the whole story, Li Donglai nodded slightly: "I will consider your idea, but you also know that these equipments are of great importance, and I cannot affect the development of the entire laboratory due to personal factors."
"Understood...as long as you can consider it, I'm satisfied." Liang Ladi nodded gratefully.
She knew that Li Donglai could consider it, which was enough to give her face.
After seeing off Liang Ladi, Li Donglai received a call from Director Yang.
When we rushed to Director Yang's office, Director Yang's first words were: "Old Li, Hex Technology, are you planning to order a batch of equipment?"
"Are you too well-informed?"
As Li Donglai spoke, his heart started to growl. In the past, Director Yang always called him Comrade Donglai, but now he calls him Lao Li. It can be seen that the steel rolling mill has now acquiesced that Hex Technology exists independently of the steel rolling mill company.
of.
To a certain extent, he is now on an equal footing with Factory Director Yang.
This is a good sign.
Factory Director Yang did not make tea this time and asked directly: "How much is this batch of equipment worth?"
Li Donglai didn't hesitate: "In terms of the actual value of the equipment, we can give you 50,000 yuan for a complete set of equipment."
"Fifty thousand yuan... so much?" Director Yang was surprised. The large equipment in the steel rolling industry is worth hundreds of thousands, but it is all arranged by the superiors. The steel rolling mill only needs to make a report without spending a penny.
This batch of equipment in the seasoning factory is different. Hex Technology will give real money.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lao Yang, I haven't finished what I just said. The actual value of this batch of equipment is only worth 50,000, but no matter which factory takes over the manufacturing of this batch of equipment, they
You can get craftsmanship worth half a million yuan." Li Donglai said calmly.
"Half a million!"
Factory Director Yang suddenly widened his eyes, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment: "You mean, your semi-automatic production equipment can also be used in other factories?"
Hearing that Director Yang knew the name of semi-automatic production equipment, Li Donglai secretly thought: These old foxes are not easy to deal with.
He smiled calmly and said: "Semi-automated production is a concept. As long as it is based on this concept and has our Hex Technology equipment drawings as a reference, the machinery factory will definitely be able to design semi-automatic production equipment suitable for other factories."
"Machinery factory...cough...you still discovered it." Elder Yang of the factory blushed.
"Everyone in our laboratory has learned the confidentiality regulations and will not leak secrets. Only Liang Ladi told a few comrades in the machinery factory about this matter. Now you will know that besides the machinery factory looking for you, what else can you do?
Who is it?" Li Donglai chuckled.
"You, every time I stay with you, I always feel frustrated." After making a joke, Director Yang straightened his face and said, "In this case, I won't hide it from you."
"Lao Liu from the machinery factory, uh, Liu Feng, and I worked together before. The conditions were difficult at that time, and the factory building collapsed once. Thanks to him, otherwise, the grass on my grave would be half a meter high now."
"There is a shortage of firewood in the countryside now," Li Donglai said.
"...Anyway, what I mean is that he is kind to me." Director Yang took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued:
"This morning, I received a call from Liu Feng, the director of the machinery factory. On the phone, he expressed that he wanted you to hand over the order for production equipment to their machinery factory."
"Of course, I didn't agree immediately. After all, Hex Technology is an independent company now."
"Of course I understand your concerns. To be honest, with the current mess in the machinery factory, even if I were in your position, I would hesitate."
"However, Lao Liu assured me on the phone that as the factory director, he will definitely ensure that the equipment is produced on time with high quality and quantity."
Li Donglai pondered for a moment, raised his head, and asked one word at a time: "Quality, quantity, and time?"
"Guarantee quality, quantity and on time!" Director Yang said resolutely: "Don't worry, I know Lao Liu very well. His daily behavior is a bit soft, but at critical moments, he can still toughen up.
"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Li Donglai still had concerns, so he lowered his voice and said: "I heard from a senior leader that the ministry has received many complaints from workers in the machinery factory and has begun to secretly investigate Director Huang."
"so....."
Li Donglai nodded slowly: "Okay, Lao Yang, please help me get involved. I have to meet Factory Director Liu."
"Of course, I'll call now."
Director Yang immediately picked up the phone and dialed the office of the director of the machinery factory.
The two chatted on the phone for a while.
Putting down the phone, Director Yang walked up to Li Donglai and said with a smile: "To show his sincerity, Old Liu specially invites you to visit the machinery factory."
"Oh, Factory Director Liu is quite confident. Well, let's set the time for tomorrow. That batch of equipment must be manufactured as soon as possible, and we can't delay things in Hong Kong City."
The Yang family in Hong Kong City is starting the company registration process and has also vacated an office building. Hex Technology is about to open.
"Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow. I will inform Lao Liu later."
....
After finalizing tomorrow's itinerary, Li Donglai returned to the laboratory and was busy until the evening.
When getting off work, Li Donglai met Yan Bugui outside the courtyard.
When Yan Bugui saw Li Donglai, his eyes wandered: "Master, it's time to get off work."
"Yeah."
Li Donglai nodded and was about to enter the yard. He seemed to remember something and turned to look at Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, we have known each other for several years. In my eyes, you can be considered a good person."
Comrade, please don’t do those stupid things.”
"Ah?" Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly: "How can that be impossible! I am an old teacher, I still have some awareness."
"No, that's the best." Li Donglai looked at him deeply, turned around and entered the courtyard.
It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.
He has already said what needs to be said. If Yan Bugui is still stubborn, there is nothing anyone can do.
....
Yan Bugui returned home and told the third aunt about meeting Li Donglai at the door.
"Old lady, could it be that Li Donglai knows something and is planning to intervene?"
Yan Bugui said with a worried look.
"So what if he knows!" The third aunt snorted coldly: "Marriage mediation is not a fair method in the first place. When Lao Chen's butt is a little crooked and the two are not allowed to divorce, Li Donglai can still cause trouble.
Can’t do it?”
The third aunt threw the vegetable leaves into the basin and started rubbing them: "I think you are too timid."
"No... I'm not timid, I'm just a little afraid of Li Donglai."
"Isn't that different?" The third aunt rolled her eyes.
"...Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Yan Bugui also stretched out his hand to help wash the vegetables: "By the way, how is Jiecheng doing today?"
"The injury is much better, but he took too many painkillers. Today, he took eight pills." The third aunt looked worried.
"So much? I think Jie Cheng, like Jia Zhang, is a little addicted to painkillers." Yan Bugui said angrily: "I should have listened to the doctor in the first place and let Jie Cheng stay in the hospital. It wouldn't have happened."
Such nonsense."
"Are you blaming me? Who was reluctant to pay the 15 cents for hospitalization in the first place?" The third aunt said: "You can't blame me entirely for this. How fragile that place is, Yu Li kicked her
It hurts so much to be like that. If he doesn't take painkillers, he can't even sleep well. The blame is on Yu Li, that damn girl who is too cruel."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Forget it, don't say this again. If this happens, Yu Li will still be our daughter-in-law." Yan Bugui said.
"Even if it's my daughter-in-law, if I want to say it, I'll still say it!"
"you....."
Seeing that the third aunt was in unreasonable mode, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "I'll go in and see Jie Cheng."
Entering the house, he saw Yan Jiecheng lying on the bed and asleep, and Yan Bugui was about to close the door.
Yan Jiecheng's voice came from inside the house: "Dad, have you found Director Chen? I don't want to divorce Yu Li."
"I've found it, don't worry, Lao Chen has been my old friend for many years, and he will definitely help." Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "You can sleep for a while longer, and your mother will prepare the meal later."
"Dad, why don't you go there again tonight and bring some gifts." Yan Jiecheng sat up with his body propped up.
"...That's no need, we have been old friends for many years." Yan Bugui hesitated.
The third aunt came over and said, "Old man, just listen to your son this time. How can you not bring a gift when you are looking for someone to do something?"
"Then..." Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment and said, "I remember we still have two kilograms of peanuts at home. I will take them to Lao Chen in the dark at night."
"Peanuts... I guess it's not enough. Didn't you catch four or five small fishes yesterday? You also brought them to Lao Chen. His wife is in poor health, and stewed with small fishes is the best supplement. Lao Chen will definitely be happy.
"The third aunt came up with an idea.
.... Xiaoyu... Yan Bugui feels a little distressed.
However, for Yan Jiecheng's sake, he gritted his teeth, carried two kilograms of peanuts and two small fish, and walked out of the courtyard in the dark.
He didn't see a girl with an average figure standing not far from the courtyard.
