Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

She happened to see an advertisement that mentioned that this imported drink could help replenish qi and calm the mind. She was thinking about buying it to try it out, but then Su Chen brought the drink to her.

Yang Xue's mother was very happy. This kind of beverage that appeared in TV commercials was not easy to buy. She had planned to go to the mall to have a look. Unexpectedly, Su Chen personally delivered it to her doorstep.

Yang Xue's mother nodded approvingly and said, "Your father has been drinking a lot recently, so it would be nice to have a can of this with dinner." Yang Xue, who was hearing this, nodded in agreement.

Yang Xue had never seen such imported drinks before, and she felt a little satisfied with her mother's praise. Although Yang Xue didn't know much about the gift Su Chen brought, it didn't stop her from feeling happy.

Su Chen couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, thinking that Coke was not a good health drink, at most it gave people some extra sugar happiness. Even if he himself loved Coke in the future, he never thought it had any health benefits, it was purely for its delicious taste.

However, compared to those alcoholic beverages, Coke is undoubtedly much healthier.

In order not to disappoint Yang Xue's mother, Su Chen just smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to help organize the various ingredients in the kitchen to show his hardworking side. But it was obvious that Yang Xue's mother did not want him to get busy in the kitchen.

......

Just like that, as a series of kitchen command work arrangements were completed, while Yang Xue was sent to do some housework, Su Chen was forced to step down from the busy work.

Su Chen looked at Yang Xue's busy figure with some helplessness and a touch of emotion, "Remember to wash the chopping board when you're done." Yang Xue's mother raised her voice and added.

Yang Xue, who originally just wanted to relax and watch some shows, now had to get up and do housework. Fortunately, these things were not difficult for Yang Xue, who was already proficient in housework.

After being sure that there was really no place for him to help, Su Cheng turned around and left. At this time, Yang Tianci, who had been waiting at the stairs for a while, noticed the movement. "Su Chen, come and play chess with me."

Su Chen was very fond of playing chess, so he gladly went when he heard Yang Tianci's invitation. The two of them went to the small balcony on the second floor, where tea sets and a Go board were placed.

Yang Tianci asked Su Chen to sit down and poured a cup of tea himself. "Do you know how to play chess? If not, you can have tea and chat with me." Su Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "I know a little bit."

His modest words could not hide the fact that he was quite accomplished in chess, but he rarely had the opportunity to play chess with others because of his busy schedule. Since moving to this courtyard, Su Chen had no chance to concentrate on enjoying the fun of playing chess. His previous life and work rhythm had left him no time to take care of this hobby.

Finally, there was time for sex today. Su Chen picked up his teacup and said to Yang Tianci, "Uncle, please go first." Seeing that Su Chen was ready, Yang Tianci didn't hesitate and started playing white chess while drinking tea. Su Chen also responded by playing black chess.

At the beginning of the game, there was nothing to think about, and both of them played very quickly. At first, Yang Tianci thought Su Chen was just pretending and did not have actual chess skills. However, after watching his steady movements, he knew that he was not perfunctory, and immediately threw himself into the game seriously.

Nowadays, many young people are interested in newer and more fashionable fields, and fewer and fewer people really like to play chess quietly. For Yang Tianci, it is rare to meet young people who also like this intellectual game. In the past, he mostly played with subordinates or non-professional opponents. In that case, the exchange of chess skills was extremely boring, and most of the time he could only entertain himself.

As the game progressed rapidly, Yang Tianci gradually frowned. The development of the game was beyond his expectations, and he was gradually trapped in a dead end. No matter what strategy he adopted to try to counterattack, he was always firmly restrained and defeated by Su Chen. In the end, after only a dozen minutes, Yang Tianci had to admit defeat.

But he did not feel discouraged. Instead, he said excitedly: "Not bad, boy. Come on!" Su Chen followed with a smile and continued to place the black chess pieces.

In this confrontation, Yang Tianci clearly felt that Su Chen's chess skills were superb, and he became more serious in the following process. The chess pieces tapped the chessboard crisply. At first, the two could chat about factory matters casually. But as the situation became more serious, Yang Tianci gradually closed his mouth and focused on the chess game, thinking hard about every move.

As expected, Su Chen won the second game. Even after winning two games in a row, he remained calm. Seeing this situation, Yang Tianci couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Great, another game!"

The feeling of not meeting an opponent of equal chess skills for a long time returned.

Although Yang Xue's father was secretly happy after losing the game in a row, because it showed that Su Chen was not just playing it perfunctorily but was really playing against him. He cleared the previous chess pieces, re-arranged the game, and started the third game again.

This time, Yang Tianci tried his best to reverse the situation, but Su Chen was able to escape danger with just a few moves.

Not only that, Su Chen reversed the situation and defeated Yang Tianci in one fell swoop. After this round, Yang Tianci lost again.

Yang Tianci was still in high spirits and laughed, "Let's play again!" In the next few games, Yang Tianci continued to lose.

But the more he failed, the more excited he became. When he played chess with others, they always let him take advantage, which made the game less interesting. But when playing chess with Su Chen, Yang Tianci enjoyed the long-lost joy of fighting wits. At the end of each game, Yang Tianci would carefully observe Su Chen's expression.

He was not surprised by success or failure, and even after winning several games in a row, he remained calm and composed. This also made Yang Tianci look at him with new eyes.

Compared to some flatterers, Su Chen can obviously satisfy Yang Tianci more. He originally thought that the reason why Su Chen was close to Yang Xue was just for the Yang Group. After all, the group was famous and Yang Xue was the only heir, so she naturally became the target of many people.

But now, Su Chen's performance proved that he had misunderstood before. The fact that he could remain calm after winning consecutive victories showed that Su Chen was not the kind of person who was good at flattering others.

Just as Yang Tianci was about to start the battle again, Yang Xue's mother called them to eat. Hearing that they were going to stop, Yang Tianci stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat together."

At this time, Yang Tianci increasingly felt that Su Chen was different from ordinary people and that only people with a broad mind would be like this.

They came down from the balcony and walked into the living room to see a sumptuous table of dishes. These delicacies were prepared by Yang Xue's mother and daughter working together.

The meal was particularly warm, and it was obvious that Yang Tianci and his wife had accepted Su Chen as a member of their family. Yang Xue's mother specially prepared a can of Coke for her father to enjoy.

"This bottle of drink is what Xiao Su brought back for you. From now on, you should change your diet and drink this nourishing drink," said Mrs. Yang.

Yang Tianci took a sip with a bit of doubt in his heart, then revealed his delight: "This drink really tastes pretty good."

In response to this, Su Chen smiled slightly.

After the meal, at the suggestion of his family, Su Chen and Yang Xue temporarily lived in the latter's parents' small villa.

It was very easy to squeeze in an extra room in this villa, and Su Chen and Yang Xue watched the night TV program with Yang's father and mother. Because there was not much entertainment content during this time period, Su Chen was thinking about the situation of his industrial site while entertaining himself.

As the night falls, it’s time to sleep;

After arranging the accommodation, Yang Xue's cheeks flushed slightly after seeing her mother's arrangement: "Mom, why did you arrange for me to live in the same house with him?"

"The rest of our house is full of stuff and we can't use it. Where can you rest?" Yang's mother said matter-of-factly. Then she gave her daughter a meaningful look and said, "Mom has actually been looking forward to holding her great-grandson for a long time."

Yang Xue's cheeks became even redder.

Su Chen didn't expect what Yang Xue's mother would say, but after today's meeting, he had been recognized and felt much more relaxed.

The two walked into the room together. Yang Xue's parents had already gone to bed.

Su Chen was lying on the bed with Yang Xue in his arms. She patted his shoulder gently and asked, "What on earth were you and my dad doing on the balcony?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I just accompanied my uncle to play chess, nothing else."

Yang Xue blushed as she said, "I don't know what kind of ** soup you fed my dad. He kept praising you after he got home. Just now when you went to the bathroom, he praised you again."

After hearing this, Su Chen burst into laughter and said, "Perhaps my chess skills are so good that my uncle admires me."

Yang Xue glanced at Su Chen coquettishly and said, "Even my mother is full of praise for you. If this continues, I think they will become like your parents."

Su Chen hugged Yang Xue tightly and said, "What you said makes sense. Shouldn't I call them mom and dad in the future?" Hearing this, Yang Xue's face turned redder.

As soon as the morning passed, Yang Xue's family affairs had been properly handled. With the support of his parents-in-law, Su Chen no longer worried about the resistance that his relationship with Yang Xue might encounter. Having solved his worries, he also received good news.

An outstanding graduate from a top university submitted a brand new design to Su Chen. However, this news was relayed to Su Chen by Assistant Zhang.

Assistant Zhang did not know the details of the new plan, but only mentioned that the graduate planned to report directly to the factory director. So, after hearing this, Su Chen said goodbye to Yang Xue's parents and left immediately, while Yang Xue chose to stay and continue to accompany her parents.

After driving for a while, Su Chen quickly arrived at the steel mill and went straight to the laboratory.

His arrival immediately attracted the attention of several top college graduates, and the graduate who proposed the new design stood at the forefront.

The graduate, who was wearing glasses and looked frail, spoke quickly upon seeing Su Chen: "Director, our team has just proposed an innovative idea, which is to develop super-large rain-inducing shells to help artificial rainfall in drought-stricken areas."

When Su Chen heard this, he was instantly delighted. He had thought that these outstanding talents would only learn a little from the experts, but he did not expect that they would bring such unexpected results.

"What's your name?" Su Chen asked curiously.

When the graduate heard this, his heart was filled with excitement. Could it be that he was going to be hired?

He answered in a loud voice: "Hello, Director, my name is Li Shengtian!"
