Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

After emphasizing confidentiality, Jiang Chen announced the adjournment of the meeting, leaving Su Changming and his five people alone who came to volunteer from the steelmaking plant.

Su Changming said: "Director Jiang, there are so many young talents in your laboratory."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "People don't like the older ones who are more capable than me, so I can only select the younger ones and use them first."

Su Changming said: "It only means that Director Jiang has a good eye for people, and anyone he picks will be a talented person."

"The people we brought this time are all elite soldiers from the steelmaking plant, the best in each position."

"I can't say how strong their overall capabilities are, but they can definitely do a good job in their essential work."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you for your support from our brother units! Okay, time is tight, so I won't say more if you want to be polite. When can you get back to work."

Su Changming said: "You can do it at any time. With Director Jiang's order, we can start working immediately."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, then starting from this afternoon, we will build an experimental steelmaking furnace with a load of 0.5 tons."

Su Changming was stunned: "0.5 tons, isn't it too small?"

Jiang Chen said: "Let's do an experiment. It will be enough. Later, we will decide whether to build a larger steel-making furnace based on demand."

Su Changming nodded: "Sure, I wonder what kind of steelmaking furnace Director Jiang wants to build, an open hearth or a blast furnace, or what you call a converter?"

Jiang Chen said: "Let's build the open-hearth furnace you are best at. Can you estimate how long it will take?"

Su Changming thought for a while: "In two days, if the materials are complete, it can be completed before get off work tomorrow."

Jiang Chen said: "Isn't tomorrow Sunday?"

Su Changming said: "It's Sunday, work is important. You have a good rest tomorrow, and we will finish the steel-making furnace for you here."

Others are full of enthusiasm for their work, so Jiang Chen naturally has no reason to stop him: "Thank you for your hard work! We have prepared all the materials we can. You will go check them later. If there are any materials missing, please communicate with me as soon as possible."

"Then I will contact the logistics department to prepare. If we don't have it, we will go to your steelmaking plant for secondment."

Su Changming nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Chen called Zhao Dongsheng: "This is Su Gong from the steelmaking plant. The materials you prepared are what he used to build the steelmaking furnace."

"From now until tomorrow afternoon, you will cooperate with Su Gong in the whole process. If he needs anything, you can find the logistics office to coordinate and meet it as soon as possible."

Zhao Dongsheng nodded: "Su Gong, if you have anything to do, just ask. Although I am a little fatter, my legs and feet are pretty nimble."

At Jiang Chen's request, Zhao Dongsheng was consciously losing weight. Although he was still very fat, he had lost a lot of weight.

Su Changming nodded: "Then I'll trouble Brother Zhao."

Then he turned around and waved: "Brothers, let's start work!"

Jiang Chen took out two boxes of cigarettes that he preferred and threw them to Su Changming: "Thank you for your hard work, take them and share them with the brothers."

Su Changming was not polite: "Thank you, Director Jiang. We are not polite. Brother Zhao, let's go and take us to see where the materials are."

Watching everyone leave, Jiang Chen lit a cigarette and sat down to take a nap.

Cao Jun came up and said, "Leader, are you tired?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, I'm just thinking about something."

He has a physical bonus, coupled with the connection with the Marrow Cleansing Meridian, his body is different from ordinary people, his mental strength is strong, and he is basically never tired.

Cao Jun said: "Boss, tomorrow is Sunday. Bai Jing and I will move to the courtyard. We will be neighbors from now on."

He applied to Wen Wan before this year, and now it's finally settled.

Jiang Chen said: "That's a good thing, it happens to be the Chinese New Year tomorrow."

"That night, shall I have hot pot?"

Cao Jun nodded: "Okay, but Bai Jing and I will go shopping tomorrow. We can't always eat for free."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "How much money can you spend on groceries? It's okay."

Cao Jun insisted: "So this time I will come and call Luo Xue and Lei Jie. I don't know if Section Chief Wen will come, but I have to call him."

He insisted on paying, not only because he wanted to make the friendship last longer, but also because he was grateful.

Jiang Chen transferred Bai Jing to the laboratory. Both the income and prospects are much better than those at the radio station.

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, I'll call someone for you. Do you need help moving? If necessary, I'll ask Lei Jie to go to your place early."

Cao Jun shook his head: "No, I don't have much, so I moved it myself."

Jiang Chen said: "How are you two progressing now? You won't be laying the floor on the floor, right?"

Cao Jun smiled awkwardly: "Hey, we haven't obtained the certificate yet. We will get the certificate another day, and we will be a real couple."

Jiang Chen said: "Yes, I don't bother to care about you. But from a boy to a man, it is an inevitable growth process. You should pay attention to it."

"Where is her family?"

Cao Jun said: "Her brother has gone in, and my family has become better to me. At least they don't object to us being together."

Jiang Chen snorted; "What do they have to object to? Without you two, they wouldn't even have food to eat."

"If it weren't for their connivance, we wouldn't have reached that point during the day."

Even though it was Sunday, Jiang Chen still went to the factory.

Su Changming and others are busy building a small steelmaking furnace for experiment.

Zhao Dongsheng is also nearby, providing assistance at any time.

Even Li Guangfu was there.

Jiang Chen went up and dispersed cigarettes for everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, even those who came to work overtime during the weekend."

Su Changming said: "Director Jiang, we are already grateful that you can bring us with you for this matter that can bring glory to our ancestors."

"The things are relatively complete. According to the current progress, I should be able to finish my early work today and go home to celebrate the New Year."

Jiang Chen smiled: "Director Li didn't take a day off today?"

Li Guangfu said: "The establishment has given me the important task of cooperating with the laboratory, and I have to do it well."

"What if they need materials and can't find anyone?"

While he was talking, a security guard came over and said, "Director Li, there is a little girl looking for you."

Although the guardrails have not yet been erected, this is already a restricted area and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

Li Guangfu was stunned: "Little girl, who is it?"

The security guard pointed to the back: "It's just outside the control area. She said her name is You Fengxia."

Jiang Chen was stunned and blurted out: "You Fengxia?"

Does she know Li Guangfu now?

Could it be that Li Guangfu was also her client?

That's not right. You Fengxia is a smart person and there is no way she would come to the factory to run business.

Jiang Chen only remembered that in the later part of the plot, the two came together and then tricked everyone in the courtyard.

Following the direction pointed by the security guard, Jiang Chen saw You Fengxia standing over there, standing tall and graceful.

Li Guangfu asked: "Do you know him?"

Jiang Chen looked around and whispered: "I am her master."

"Brother Li, Brother Li" You Fengxia shouted outside.

Li Guangfu smiled: "You kid, you are trying to take advantage of me by doing tricks."

"Three years ago, the weather was so cold. I saw a little girl wearing single clothes squatting and shivering. She hadn't eaten for a few days and didn't think about it, so I bought her food."

"That little girl is You Fengxia. She knows how to be grateful. Later, when things get better and the holidays come, she will give me something. Today is the New Year, so I guess she will give me something again."

"I'm going to see what's going on."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Neither of them mentioned the pigeon market.

Li Guangfu came outside the control area: "Fengxia, why are you here?"

You Fengxia said: "Isn't today a Chinese New Year celebration? I went to the countryside to find two old hens, and my eldest brother took them back to replenish them for my sister-in-law."

"I didn't bring the stuff in. I left it in that store. Brother, remember to pick it up when you get off work."

Li Guangfu said: "Oh, it's been so many years, you don't have to keep sending me things."

You Fengxia said: "I can't repay my life-saving kindness, and I can't help you much. You don't have to be polite if you have some new ideas."

"How is your sister-in-law doing now?"

Li Guangfu sighed: "It's not good. I'm just counting the days. I went to the doctor and said that it only happened in the past two or three years."

You Fengxia said: "Brother, don't be too sad. You are so kind to your sister-in-law and she is in a good mood. Maybe she will get better soon."

Li Guangfu said: "After all these years, I have come to understand that this is fate. I am not sad, but your sister-in-law is. She feels that she could not leave a boy and a half girl behind, and she blames herself very much."

You Fengxia said: "Please give her some advice when you have time."

"By the way, that person is also an employee of your factory?"

Li Guangfu glanced at Jiang Chen: "He is not an employee, he is a leader. Level 8 engineer, director of the Engineering Department."

You Fengxia was startled: "Director, are you so young?"

I secretly thought that no wonder he spent money so generously. He was young and promising, and his salary was high.

Li Guangfu said: "If you knew what he did, you wouldn't be surprised by the position of director."

"Director Jiang, you are really young and promising."

You Fengxia nodded: "Yes, he is young and promising, and he is handsome."

Li Guangfu glanced at You Fengxia: "What, are you feeling moved? I advise you to give up your heart. He is already married."

"In this day and age, it's not allowed to find a small one."

If he could, he would probably have found it himself, and his wife would probably support it.

Not for anything else, just to have a child.

You Fengxia smiled and said: "Brother, are you kidding? How can a person like me dare to marry someone like him? Wouldn't that be harmful to others?"

I added in my mind: Besides, the younger one can’t have my turn either.

She still remembered that Jiang Chen bought two watches from her.

Li Guangfu said: "Okay, I have to go there, you should go back early!"

"happy holidays."

Looking at You Fengxia's back and then at Jiang Chen, Li Guangfu was thoughtful.
