Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Okay, Dongxu, I got it. I'll let Liu Lan go!"

Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Dongxu, why don't you let your sister-in-law serve the food? It's so convenient, and you don't even have to cut the vegetables."

"Bah, I don't blame my wife for serving food to others. I feel ashamed!" Jia Dongxu said, glancing at Sha Zhu, "Also, stay away from Liu Lan in the future."

"Oh, okay!" Shazhu scratched his head in confusion.

Jia Dongxu and others were waiting at the door of the small restaurant in the cafeteria. After a while, Wang Tongming came with four people and nodded to Jia Dongxu when he saw him.

Jia Dongxu opened the door of the small restaurant, asked a few people to sit down, and then told Sha Zhu to start serving the dishes.

After a while, Liu Lan was seen puffing out her chest and continuously bringing in dishes.

Soon, the table was filled with food. This was a meal that Sha Zhu had prepared using the meat from the factory. It looked very tempting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a drink. It's not a complete feast if we have meat but no wine." Jia Dongxu said as he took a bottle of wine from the table and filled everyone's glasses.

"Who is this?" asked a man sitting on Wang Tongming's left.

"Oh, this is Jia Dongxu, the deputy director of the logistics department of our steel rolling mill." Wang Tongming introduced.

After hearing that, the man immediately looked at Jia Dongxu in surprise. He was so young but already at the deputy division level. It seemed that he must have some powerful people behind him.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I am Zhang Haijian from the Ministry of Railways. I am in charge of this special rail issue. Minister Jia, please help me."

"No problem, Comrade Zhang, you are too polite. It's all for work. As long as it is needed, I will naturally do my best to help. However, we have our Director Wang here with us. I believe that under the leadership of Director Wang, we will definitely be able to meet everyone's production needs."

Jia Dongxu spoke while holding a wine glass, trying not to appear incompetent while bringing the topic back to Wang Tongming.

"Of course, Director Wang told us about it. Our Ministry of Railways would like to thank Director Wang for his strong support." Zhang Haijian raised his glass and toasted with the other four people.

"Minister Jia, this banquet must have taken a lot of thought on your part. This beef is very hard to buy!" Zhang Haijian said, pointing to a plate of meat.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could Zhang Haijian still be so cunning in his words? If this gets out, wouldn't people say that the logistics department of the steel mill is trying to be slacking off?

Maybe now you are eating the meat that you cooked, and then later you will blame yourself for over-treating.

If I had known this earlier, I would have prepared some steamed buns for you to chew on.

"Speaking of which, we are also benefiting from our worker comrades! We should thank our worker comrades for the good food we have today."

Jia Dongxu said, "If you had come a day earlier, you wouldn't have been able to eat it."

"Oh, what's the story?" Zhang Haijian continued.

"What else can I say? I just brought this meat from the grassland yesterday. If I had come here yesterday, I would definitely not be able to eat it."

Jia Dongxu said, and quickly looked at Wang Tongming, what's wrong with this guy?

"Oh, I misunderstood, Minister Jia. I thought your factory purchased it with funds. Since you brought it back from the grassland, I feel relieved."

Zhang Haijian then picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Seeing this, the other four people followed suit.

"Why did Minister Jia go to the grassland?" Zhang Haijian said thoughtfully while eating.

"Deliver the goods to the factory!" Jia Dongxu said rudely. This man was not done yet. Then he looked at Wang Tongming speechlessly.

"Eat! Eat!" Wang Tongming hurriedly called out, "After dinner, let's gather the workshop directors in the factory to discuss how to produce and the production volume."

But Wang Tongming was really in a difficult position. These production issues made him feel awkward.

"Since Minister Jia has been to the grassland, I wonder what he knows about the weather there?" Zhang Haijian said after thinking for a while while eating meat.

"It's cold! Too cold! Jingcheng just put on his coat and it's already freezing over there. The meat we eat is the cows that froze to death on the road."

Jia Dong said with a smile, since you want me to stay away from you, I will also annoy you.

"Hmm." Zhang Haijian kept picking up the food with his chopsticks, "Minister Jia, do you know the weather on the grassland in summer?"

"I don't know. I'll have to wait until I have a delivery arrangement in the summer before I can go check it out." Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and then asked, "Comrade Zhang, just say what you want to say. I'm not used to being asked this question over and over again."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhang Haijian said quickly, "I just wanted Minister Jia to experience the use of this special steel.

"Oh, I see. It means that in cold or hot conditions, the rails must be resistant to wear, corrosion, and thermal expansion and contraction to avoid safety hazards caused by extreme weather and affect train operation."

"Oh, good! That's it!"

Zhang Haijian slapped his thigh and said, "Minister Jia's words are spot on. The special rails we use are for the roads leading to the grasslands. Originally, rails for the northeast direction could be used, but my country still cannot make them at present."

"There are only requirements on materials, no requirements on the shape, right?" said Jia Dongxu.

"No, there is only a material requirement. The rails cannot be deformed when they are too hot or too cold," said Zhang Haijian.

"Should we find a metallurgist and ask them to provide us with special materials?" Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

Then Wang Tongming coughed.

"Dongxu, the smelter is also under our Ministry of Industry, and we need to coordinate and communicate with them. Since you understand this, you can represent our factory in the next step of communicating with the smelter."
