"Huh..." Chu Nan took a deep breath. With his luggage bag on his back, he looked at the sky that was about to turn dark, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Yes, for many years, he had been holding back what he wanted to say but did not dare to say, and what he wanted to do but did not dare to do, and today he did it all.
Maybe what he did was a little too crazy, but who can be young and not frivolous?
He will never regret leaving this home that he has long hated.
Perhaps, this is the first step for him to bid farewell to the past and move towards a new future! "Xiaonan, Xiaonan, wait a minute!"
Just when he walked out of the community, his mother Zhou Hailan chased after him, panting slightly and said, "You, you really don't plan to go home?"
"Mom, I've had enough of this family's face. They've long wanted to drive me away, so I'll just do what they want."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I will tell you when I find a place to live. Instead, you...Mom, will I take you out of this house when I show my appearance in the future?"
My mother, Zhou Hailan, was stunned. She quickly shook her head and sighed, "Xiaonan, I can't leave this family anymore. Although your stepfather is a little cruel, he is my support anyway. I never want to live in a wandering world again."
Days have passed... Xiaonan, you have grown up now and are capable. Mom has been thinking about it for a long time, and there is something that I should tell you..." "Mom, what are you hesitating about? Tell me."
Seeing his mother's hesitant expression, Chu Nan couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Son... If you and your stepfather fall out, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this family. If you really can't survive outside, you, you might be able to find someone... he might be able to help you."
Zhou Hailan's eyes were filled with complicated memories, and she sighed melancholy, "I have been lying to you for so many years. You, your biological father, are not actually dead..." "What?"
Chu Nan's eyes widened, and he almost collapsed in shock! The biological father who did not exist at all in his memory was not dead?
This, how is this possible! "Back then... your father and I fell in love, but later... he betrayed me and abandoned me who was pregnant with you. I originally thought that he would change his mind after giving birth to you, but I never thought that he...
"When Zhou Hailan said this, she burst into tears.
At the same time, Chu Nan was not only inexplicably shocked, but also instantly furious! He abandoned his wife and son, and he never expected that his biological father would be such a beast! If so, he would rather not know this secret, and would rather do it for
It would be better if he died! "Mom, what's the point of looking for a guy who abandoned his wife and children?"
Since he didn't want me and you back then, he certainly won't admit it now. Even if I starve to death, I won't beg from him!"
Chu Nan's eyes instantly became firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have such a shameless father!"
"But... he is very capable and capable. If it hadn't been for some mistake, I wouldn't have met him..." Zhou Hailan sighed, "If you really can't survive, how can you save face?"
What is it for?
Listen to mom and beg him when the time comes. Even if he doesn't want to admit that you are his son, he will definitely help you..." "It goes without saying, mom, I will not bow down to that kind of bastard."
Chu Nan directly interrupted his mother's words, forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm leaving, take care of yourself.
I will see you often."
"You...hey...ok, Xiaonan, you must take good care of yourself..." Zhou Hailan wiped away her tears and waved goodbye to him.
Chu Nan was very reluctant to part with his mother, but at this moment he gritted his teeth and left without looking back again.
He knew that now that he had made a decision, there was no turning back! As for his biological father?
Let him go to hell! "Gu Gu Gu Gu..." Chu Nan, who was still a little confused after leaving the community, let out a dissatisfied stomach cry.
It was almost dark now, but he hadn't even had dinner yet! Walking on the street near the Qianhu City Steel Plant, Chu Nan glanced around and soon walked into a nearby small restaurant.
.
"Boss, bring me two side dishes and a bottle of beer. Remember, the dishes should be spicier!"
Chu Nan put down his briefcase, pulled open the cuffs of his shirt and shouted to his boss.
After ordering a few dishes, Chu Nan noticed that most of the other people dining in the small restaurant didn't know each other very well. When he saw a middle-aged man drinking alone in the corner from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but look at him.
Bright.
"Master Mi, are you eating too?"
Chu Nan took the beer and cup he ordered, then took the initiative to walk up to the middle-aged man drinking, and said with a smile, "I am Chu Nan, do you remember?"
The middle-aged man seemed to have drank a lot of liquor, his face was reddish and he was a little tipsy.
He raised his head and glanced at Chu Nan, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, "Oh, Chu Nan, that boy from the old Xu family! Oh, I haven't seen you in many years, but you have grown up."
"Hey, Master Mi, look what you said, it's been so many years since I last saw you. I remember I was a little kid when I met you!"
Chu Nan smiled sheepishly when he thought of his childhood, "That time I stole scrap metal from the factory, you were magnanimous and let me go. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
"Haha, you kid... still remember what happened back then?"
Master Mi took a sip of white wine, smiled and patted his shoulder, and suddenly sighed, "Back then, the steel factory was very profitable and there was a lot of scrap iron. You workers' sons who usually didn't have money to fill your stomachs wanted to steal iron and sell it for money. I
I can understand that too.
It’s a pity that now, the steel plant is not as good as every year, and even the scrap iron is no longer available..." Chu Nan certainly knows that the efficiency of the Qianhu City Steel Plant is deteriorating. In fact, not only the steel plant, Qianhu City itself has
Many large state-owned enterprises are facing various troubles as the times progress, and many have even gone bankrupt or been merged.
At this time, the boss brought the dishes. Chu Nan and Master Mi simply sat at the same table and drank a few drinks with each other.
After thirty years of drinking, Chu Nan plucked up the courage to ask a question, "Master Mi, you are an old scholar from the steel factory. If you don't study at home, why are you drinking alone here?"
In Chu Nan's memory, this Master Mi was a great person. He was a technical researcher hired by the factory back then, which was equivalent to the feeling of a scientist and professor in a research institute.
Looking at him now, looking down and down, how can he be as high-spirited as he was back then?
Master Mi waved his hand and said with a slightly drunken wry smile, "The factory has no funds to invest in the research and development of new steel refining. I have been idle for two months, so what else can I learn?"
Alas, the more the steel mills do not increase their investment in scientific research, the more they produce old-fashioned crude steel, the more unmarketable it will be. The less marketable it is, the more serious the losses will be. This is a vicious circle... But all the leaders of the steel mills are
We don't pay attention to it at all. It's useless for us. We have been studying the formula of alloy steel for so many years and we still haven't figured out the reason..." "Alloy steel..." Chu Nan, as the son of a worker in a steel factory, how much
I have been exposed to it since I was a child and have learned some knowledge about the steel industry.
The Qianhu City Steel Plant is technologically backward and can only produce the most primitive crude steel, that is, the original steel embryo.
But now there are too many manufacturers producing steel blanks in China, and the real estate industry is sluggish, which naturally results in a large amount of overcapacity that cannot be sold.
Nowadays, the best-selling steel products on the market are all finished alloy steel products that have undergone post-processing. Unfortunately, Qianhu Steel Factory cannot produce them, so naturally they become more and more difficult to use.
"Stop talking about this, come and have a few more drinks with me."
Master Mi took the initiative to pour a glass of white wine for Chu Nan, handed it over and said, "We are destined to meet, let's go one by one."
Before Chu Nan could refuse, Master Mi drank it all in one gulp.
He could see that Master Mi was just using wine to relieve his sorrow and wanted to use wine to pass the depressing time.
Indeed, for a steel researcher, not being able to continue research is the most painful torture. What is the difference between it and idleness?
Seeing Master Mi in such pain, Chu Nan honestly couldn't bear it.
It would be great if I could help Master Mi figure out how to extract alloy steel so that he would no longer be so decadent... Chu Nan thought of this and suddenly slapped his forehead in excitement.
Stupid, don’t you have a super Baidu system in your mind?
In fact, the refining of alloy steel is not a very high technology even in China, but manufacturers often refuse to communicate with each other because of the confidentiality of the technology. When I regain my mental strength tomorrow, help him search for some information about the refining of alloy steel and give it to him.
Wouldn’t it be enough for Master Mi to conduct research?
I believe that as long as the information is provided, Master Mi's ability will definitely be able to solve the problem of alloy steel extraction.
"Dad! Why do you come here to drink again?
How many times have I told you that your liver is not good and you can’t drink more, but you just don’t listen!”
Just when Chu Nan found a solution to the problem, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind.
