Everyone automatically filtered out Liao Derong's complaints and instead grasped the biggest mystery in Liao Derong's words. They did not believe that Liao Derong's words were just unintentional. As for what he wanted to imply, everyone was free to let their imagination run wild.
"Lao Liao, you said you have hundreds of equipment there, and you are the only one designing them. Are you busy enough?" someone asked tentatively.
Liao Derong said: "I must be too busy. I told the leaders over there that these things would take at least 20 engineers three months to do in our design institute."
"Then what did the leader say?"
"The leader said, let me figure it out myself."
"Ha, your boss won't ask you to come back to our design institute to recruit people, right?"
"How is this possible? Who would be willing to go to Cangtang, a place where birds don't lay eggs?"
"Why don't you, Lao Liao, just go? Good guy, this is chicken and camellia oil. If I have this kind of treatment, I will be happy to go."
"It's a joke, it's a joke. If the dean hears this, he will say that I have shaken the morale of the army. Everyone, I have to go home and eat quickly..."
Liao Derong also knew that too much was too much, so after he finished what he had to say, he made an excuse to escape. Everyone had their own evil intentions, and it was inconvenient to say too much on this occasion, so no one stopped him, and they watched him walk away arrogantly.
, and then they started talking in low voices in twos and threes.
"Old Liao, what's going on with you? Why are you talking about the welfare of your unit in front of so many people?"
When Liao Derong returned home, Su Juan hurriedly closed the door behind him, and then complained in a low voice.
"What do you know? This is what the senior manager told me." Liao Derong said to his wife pretending to be mysterious.
"What did Manager Gao tell you?" Su Juan was stunned, "Why? If these things spread, do you know how many people in the design institute will have red eyes against us?"
"What I want is for them to get pinkeye." Liao Derong said, "I'm telling you..."
Before he could continue, he heard someone knocking on the door gently. Su Juan made a silence gesture to Liao Derong, walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door is Zeng Jiaxiong, another engineer in the design institute. This gentleman and Liao Derong are in the same design office, and their children studied in the same class, so the two families have a good personal relationship.
"It's Gong Zeng, come in, come in. By the way, have you eaten?" Su Juan greeted warmly.
"Oh, I've eaten. By the way, Lao Liao hasn't eaten yet, right?" Zeng Jiaxiong responded casually and walked into the house.
"No, haven't you just come back?" Liao Derong came forward, first handed Zeng Jiaxiong a cigarette, and then led him to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Su Juan went to the kitchen to cook for Liao Derong. Liao Derong and Zeng Jiaxiong each lit up cigarettes and talked some nonsense, and then Zeng Jiaxiong brought the conversation to the main topic.
"Old Liao, why do I think there is something wrong with what you just said downstairs?" Zeng Jiaxiong said in a low voice.
The soundproofing effect of buildings in this era is not very good, but it is not to the extent that people outside can hear the two talking in the living room. Zeng Jiaxiong lowered his voice, which is actually to express an attitude, that is, he is here to inquire about secrets
, told Liao Derong not to follow him in circles.
Liao Derong took a big drag on his cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and then said with a smile: "Why, Lao Zeng, did you hear something in my words?"
"Only a fool can't hear it!" Zeng Jiaxiong laughed and scolded, "I don't know who you are, Lao Liao? You deliberately showed off two chickens in the yard and said those words, didn't you just want to help you?
Will the company recruit people from our design institute?"
"What, you want to go?" Liao Derong asked.
Zeng Jiaxiong had a look of hesitation on his face: "To be honest, after seeing you, Mr. Liao, going to Luping, you kept going home to get local specialties. The spicy ones are really popular, and I was a little tempted. But, I
There is a lot of work nearby, so if I leave it alone, I’m afraid the hospital won’t agree.”
"I think you are reluctant to leave the deputy director who is coming soon, right?" Liao Derong revealed.
"Well... I have been enduring this for so many years, and there is such a rumor in the courtyard. If you say that I am not tempted, it must be a lie." Zeng Jiaxiong told the truth.
The design institute is also a small world, and who doesn’t know about each other’s affairs? The design office where Zeng Jiaxiong works has a vacant deputy director position. There are rumors in the institute that Zeng Jiaxiong may be promoted to be the deputy director.
Zeng Jiaxiong himself was somewhat determined to win. Liao Derong knew this, and Zeng Jiaxiong also knew that Liao Derong knew it, so there was no need to hide it in front of him.
"You can't go even if you want to." Liao Derong said. Seeing that Zeng Jiaxiong looked a little unhappy, he quickly added, "Let me tell you, Canghua Science and Technology and Trade has asked the Chemical Industry Department for permission and said that they want to be seconded from the Design Institute.
There were several people, but the Department of Chemical Industry responded and said it was not allowed."
"That's it." Zeng Jiaxiong nodded.
The attitude of the Department of Chemical Industry is not surprising. The Chemical Engineering Design Institute also has its own daily work tasks. It is okay to second people out, but it is not okay to borrow them until they are finished.
Zeng Jiaxiong could even think that perhaps the Department of Chemical Industry had sought the opinion of the Design Institute on this matter. This decision to not allow any more loans should be the intention of the Design Institute.
"If that's the case, did you want to show off in front of us when you said those words downstairs just now?" Zeng Jiaxiong half-jokingly half-seriously condemned.
It is true that he coveted the position of deputy director of the design office, but at the same time he also coveted the local products that Liao Derong brought back. If Liao Derong really wanted to recruit him to Canghua Science and Technology Trade, he would definitely hesitate. But now Liao Derong directly said that he wanted to go
He couldn't go either, and he was a little sullen.
Human emotions are so weird.
"Old Zeng, are you interested in doing some part-time work?" Liao Derong finally revealed his true intention.
"Part-time job, how do you do it?" Zeng Jiaxiong asked with his eyes wide.
"I just said downstairs that we have hundreds of devices to design. This is absolutely true. It is impossible for me to complete these designs even if I am exhausted. So, I called the company.
A report said that colleagues from the design institute could be asked to use their spare time to help with the design.
"As for the design ideas, the company has already determined them. We have a professor from the Department of Chemistry at Peking University who is responsible for the overall design. On our side, we only need to do some calculations based on the design ideas to finalize the details of the equipment.
.
"These jobs are what we are used to doing in the past. With your ability, old Zeng, it can be said that you can do it easily. These jobs can be done at home, as long as you use a little spare time... Hehe, you know."
When Liao Derong said this, a secretive smile appeared on his face.
