One big and one small are practicing love

After sending them to the plane, Zuo Kunmin drove to the factory and answered several work calls in succession.

Zuo Kunmin stepped on the accelerator hard, and the black off-road vehicle sped along the highway, passing one car after another. I wish I could fly to the factory immediately.

I don’t know how long I’ve been on it, but the phone rang again. Zuo Kunmin slowed down the car and looked at the LCD screen in the car. It was Master Zhao's phone call and pressed the answer button on the steering wheel.

"Chairman, I'm at the airport." Master Zhao said.

Zuo Kunmin glanced at the LCD screen again, looked at the time, and said, "The plane is ten minutes late. They still have about half an hour to arrive at the airport. Please wait a little longer."

"Xiaoxiao sent me a message to tell me. Don't worry, I have contacted Xiaoxiao."

"Okay! Get them and tell me."

"Okay, Chairman."

Zuo Kunmin raised his hand to press the hang-up button, but suddenly remembered something and said urgently: "By the way, have you brought hot water?"

"I brought it! I brought it! According to what you said, the water temperature is 55 degrees and poured into the thermos cup."

"Okay!" Zuo Kunmin gently pressed the hangup button and smiled unconsciously. I actually feel a bit like a teenager, caring for someone sincerely. Regardless of other people's opinions, rely on instinctive love and foolishly do small and sincere things for each other.

Snowflakes were falling on the car window. Zuo Kunmin did not speed up, but looked at the scenery outside the window casually while driving.

Familiar road signs, the same buildings. Unconsciously, a sudden surge of mixed emotions, discomfort, uneasiness, fear, loss... disturbed Zuo Kunmin.

The car slowed down again, and Zuo Kunmin regained consciousness and used his weak sense to fight against this emotion. He knew that he could not allow this emotion to corrode or control him. But to find its source and boundaries. Recognize it and restrain it.

It's sad to be separated from them. The next work is very difficult and extremely risky.

These two forces are the most powerful. Zuo Kunmin originally thought that he could just face them directly without thinking about them. Now it seems that Zuo Kunmin still overestimates his own power and underestimates their destructiveness.

Accept that you are not a machine that can easily and freely switch to the next mode with the push of a button. It’s a person who changes internally when the external environment changes.

Undoubtedly, during this time together, I fell in love with them even more.

Love has a real connection and transmission effect. Warmth, comfort, security, joy and other beautiful things are conveyed to each other through love.

Now, space and distance block the transmission of love, like a tree root being cut off. Losing connection with some energy is a real loss.

Energy loss, leaves withering, and trees withering are natural and objective reactions. You have to accept it. If you can't adapt immediately, then adjust and balance slowly.

I thought that as a person in my thirties, I would not and should not worry about love anymore. At this moment, facing the lesson of ‘love’ again, I understand that love is very important and difficult, and requires a lifetime of learning and practice.

Thinking about it, I arrived at the factory without realizing it. It was really strange. At first I couldn’t wait to rush back to the factory, but I thought the speed was too slow. Later, I obviously slowed down my speed, but why did I arrive so quickly?

When we parked the car, it was snowing heavily.

The heavy snow fell rapidly, and the originally gray factory soon became completely white. Zuo Kunmin looked at the time. It was 11:32, and there were still 2 hours left for the meeting. I hesitated for a while in the car, thinking I should eat first? Or should you clarify your work thoughts before eating?

During the hesitation, there was a 'ding dong' sound on the phone, which was Liu Xiaochen's WeChat reminder sound. Zuo Kunmin started watching without hesitation.

Teacher Zuo, I forgot to tell you. There is food in the back seat of the car, a box of meat floss sushi, a box of vegetable salad, and a box of cut fruit. Eat well. I arrived in Beijing safely, don’t miss me!

After reading the message, Zuo Kunmin turned his head and saw a square dark blue canvas bag lying in the rightmost corner of the car seat. Zuo Kunmin recognized that bag. Liu Xiaochen used this set of insulated lunch boxes several times to pack various foods for Zuo Kunmin to take to the factory to eat.

I just arrived at the factory and I was wondering what to eat for lunch. Thank you for the food you prepared. I asked Master Zhao to bring hot water. You drink more hot water and go home and have a good rest. By the way, it's snowing heavily here.

After replying to the message, Zuo Kunmin got out of the car, took a short video of the snow, and sent it to Liu Xiaochen. Then he took out the canvas bag from the back seat of the car and strode towards the office.

For a short distance, I met many colleagues who were going to have a meal and greeted them happily.

When he arrived at the office, Zuo Kunmin put the canvas bag on the coffee table, first took a cup of warm water mixed with hot and cold water, drank it in one gulp, and sat down at his desk. From a pile of documents, he found a folder covered in black plastic. The white label read "Equipment Procurement Plan for Chutang Iron and Steel Plant".

Turn directly to the last few pages to read financial statements such as "Capital Budget", "Cash Flow Statement", "Balance Sheet", and "Statement of Changes in Financial Position".

While reading, copy some numbers on the scratch paper. I turned on the computer again and searched for several other financial statements, from Chutang's head office and each branch, and copied down several sets of numbers respectively. Then he used the calculator on his mobile phone to add, subtract, multiply and divide these numbers for a while.

Finally, Zuo Kunmin looked at these numbers in a daze.

No matter how you calculate it, it's the same as expected. This is a huge investment that can be sustained over a period of time. However, the current cash flow of the company is tight, and the risk of this investment is extremely high.

Five days ago, Zuo Kunmin made a temporary decision to make this investment.

The original plan was to replace only a few sets of important equipment and purchase second-hand equipment from an international steel mill in Shanghai. I have never thought about building or adding new production lines.

Nowadays, a large number of factory equipment have been replaced with new ones. We went to Germany to purchase the most advanced equipment, built new factories, and invested in several production lines for deep processing. The investment was three times more than originally planned.

When Zuo Kunmin rethought this decision, the uneasy and anxious mood he had felt while driving came back again. His breathing became rapid, his chest was tight and he felt panicked. He couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the office.

"Dang, dang, dang," there were three soft knocks on the door.

Zuo Kunmin stopped walking, sat back at his desk, took a deep breath, and said, "Please come in."

It was Zhao Tang at the front desk, carrying two paper bags, standing respectfully in front of Zuo Kunmin, and said: "Mr. Zuo, I heard that you will leave the factory tomorrow. I made some pastries. The white bags are sugar-free. You You can try it. The brown paper bag is for your sister."

Zuo Kunmin smiled and nodded: "Thank you, but my sister has left Shenyang this morning."

"Oh!" Zhao Tang was a little disappointed and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zuo, your sister is so beautiful and talented."

Zuo Kunmin raised his wrist to look at his watch. There was still half an hour left for the meeting, and he wanted to continue to clarify his thoughts. Not wanting to say anything more, he said, "I'll have a meeting later. If you don't mind, I'll share the pastries with them." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to motion for Zhao Tang to put them on the coffee table.

"Okay!" Zhao Tang nodded. Seeing that Zuo Kunmin was a little impatient, he hurriedly turned around and put the paper bag on the coffee table. Seeing the dark blue canvas bag again, I was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath, as if I had made a lot of determination, and walked to the desk again.

"Is there anything else?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

Zhao Tang didn't want to waste Zuo Kunmin's time by procrastinating, and said bluntly: "I saw you and your family at the lantern festival last night, your sister, your two children, and a young girl."

"She is my girlfriend, and she cooked all the food for me." Zuo Kunmin said with certainty, knowing what she wanted to know.
