Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 173 The capital is not big

Factory Director Yang also sighed, yes, no one would have imagined that a senior high school student would actually think of asking the steel rolling mill for help, and even persuaded the secretary to get it done.

"Lao Yang, what do you think this means?"

Factory Director Yang just blurted it out without thinking. "It shows that he is very brave."

Secretary Chen shook his head. His old partner was still so direct.

"This shows that he has ideas and is not bound by tradition. He can jump out of ordinary people's vision and think from an angle that others cannot see!"

Director Yang was speechless at these words. He still saw things simply. He couldn't change his thinking habits over the years. He pondered for a long time and finally raised his head.

"Secretary, you can judge people accurately. I didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns in these things. I think about things too superficially, but the secretary can see clearly."

Secretary Chen also knew Factory Director Yang’s temper and integrity, and knew that his old partner had listened.

"Drink tea, drink tea, drink tea. After talking so much, I'm thirsty."

"We have just said so much, and now we have clarified a few points. First, our steel rolling mill does not lack this research funding."

"Second, if foreign colleagues can study it, we can do it too. Not to mention that Xiao Zhu's plan has already defined the scope. This saves us a lot of trouble. Even if the scope is not specified, we still have to figure it out ourselves."

"According to what he said, this project has very broad development prospects in the future and will be fully used in various industries. If foreigners don't sell it to us now, we will build it ourselves."

"Not to mention the technical support from Jingcheng University, but without the support from any other department, I am confident that we can complete it just by relying on our steel rolling mill."

Factory Director Yang has been completely convinced by Secretary Chen.

"Okay, secretary, it's better that you look at the long term. I agree with this. Let's do it."

"Okay, let's talk about Deputy Director Li again. He must be..."

The two chatted for a long time with the door closed. Only an empty cigarette box left on the table proved that the two had just talked.

"Anyway, Lao Yang, I know you are a little wronged, but you can tolerate it as long as you can. The overall situation is the top priority. Let's not provoke him. In the future..."

...

In front of the Kyungseong University College Building

Zhu Xuefeng had just finished attending the first class and came out of the teaching building to wait for Xia Yuhong. The two of them had to go to the cafeteria to eat together. They only had this chance to get together at noon every week.

"Brother Feng, let's go. I wish you and your sister-in-law a pleasant meal."

Fang Jiaming did not forget to tease Zhu Xuefeng. Xia Yuhong came to wait for Zhu Xuefeng every Saturday afternoon. Zhu Xuefeng also stayed in the outer courtyard to eat after foreign language classes every week. Any fool knew that the two had a close relationship.

Seeing Chen Zhihe and Fang Jiaming walking away, Zhu Xuefeng was waiting for Xia Yuhong to finish class downstairs when he was called. He turned around and saw that it was Lin Na.

"Zhu Xuefeng, it's really you!"

"Hello, Senior Sister Lin Na, I didn't expect to see you here."

It was quite unexpected. The last time they met, Zhu Xuefeng said that he was going to Polytechnic University, so they met on the campus of Beijing University a month later.

"You are so mean. You have come to our area to attend classes instead of coming to see me. I still don't know that you have been admitted to our school. You have lied to me for so long. How can you make up for it?"

Lin Na must have just finished class. She held her textbook, tilted her head, and looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a faint smile, which was extremely dazzling in the sun.

Zhu Xuefeng hesitated for a moment. It was really hard to explain this. He had come in for no reason.

"Well, we can't enter the girls' building, and we don't know your specific class. How can you find it? I, a freshman, am still adapting to the new environment, okay?"

"Let's go, let's go. I'll invite you to our cafeteria. We'll have a nice chat later. My brother-in-law said that he hasn't seen your file, and he didn't see you going to the library on weekends. He thought you had taken the exam elsewhere."

Lin Na looked extremely happy and was about to come up to hold Zhu Xuefeng's hand, but Zhu Xuefeng quietly avoided her.

"I didn't bring a rice bowl, so I'd better go back and eat."

This reason was too pale. As expected, Lin Na said it indifferently.

"It doesn't matter. I'm rich here. Don't run away. Just wait for me downstairs. I'll be down in a minute."

Lin Na happily went upstairs. Now she was in trouble. It was better to explain it clearly just now. Don't make things awkward now. She would have to explain it to Xia Yuhong later.

"Oh, buddy, it's really you. What a coincidence. The last time I saw someone having dinner with a girl in our class from a distance, it was you!"

Zhu Xuefeng turned his head, everything was happening at the same time. Isn't this Xie Junjie, the eldest brother of the Concubine, from the Kongyuan?

"The world is such a small place. I didn't expect that we are still alumni. What department are you in?"

"English Department, wait for me. I'll get the rice bowl and we'll go to the cafeteria together. We'll have a nice chat later."

Xia Yuhong finally arrived and was looking at Zhu Xuefeng strangely. She and Xie Junjie should be classmates.

"Do you know Xie Junjie from our class?" "We met him once, so don't ask, go get the lunch box quickly, I'm starving, we'll talk together later."

They could only use the bitter meat trick to get Xia Yuhong away first. Fortunately, Xia Yuhong followed this trick and starved to death as soon as she heard it, so she immediately diverted her attention.

Xia Yuhong returned to the dormitory full of doubts. Zhu Xuefeng was also surprised that these acquaintances actually gathered together for a simple lunch.

Lin Na ran over happily holding a rice bowl and a lunch box.

"Let's go, senior sister invites you today."

Zhu Xuefeng looked at Lin Na sheepishly.

"Senior sister, please wait. There are two more people. We all happen to know each other. It's a coincidence that we met today."

Lin Na blinked and looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a smile, a playful look on her face.

"One of them must be a pretty girl. I saw you two in the cafeteria last time, but I'm just not sure it's you."

Pretending not to see him, Zhu Xuefeng turned to look in the direction where Xia Yuhong disappeared.

"Well, we are classmates in high school. We basically have dinner here every Thursday at noon. I will introduce you to each other later. You are still in the same department."

...

The atmosphere of this lunch was a bit subtle. Zhu Xuefeng introduced them one by one, and they quickly became familiar with each other. Lin Na asked questions enthusiastically.

"Tell me quickly, didn't you apply for the Polytechnic University? Why did you come to our school?"

"My brother-in-law has been complaining for a long time, saying that he has asked the school leaders for instructions. As long as you agree, you can switch to their major and continue to study engines."

Zhu Xuefeng was a little embarrassed. He took the initiative to explain at the time that he was hoping Uncle Lin Na could help, but he couldn't explain it now.

"I can't explain this clearly. Maybe it's just an adjustment. I'm currently studying metal physics in the Department of Physics, and I'm pretty good at it. It's a blessing in disguise."

However, Xia Yuhong didn't see any unnatural look on her face. She was lowering her head to eat. Only Xie Junjie looked at Lin Na with a smile.

"Senior Sister Lin Na, I actually recognized you on the first day I came to school. I was just surprised that I didn't see Brother Zhu. It turns out you don't know where he is."

He turned around and asked again.

"Brother, what's going on with the motorcycle production you mentioned? My sister is still thinking about it."

"Hundreds of them should have been produced. If there are no accidents, a small batch may enter department stores after the National Day. You have to keep an eye on it. The number should not be large."

Seeing that Xia Yuhong had been eating silently and did not join the conversation.

"Xiaohong, didn't you say that you are not aware of many situations involving you? This senior sister is right next to you, why don't you have a good chat with us?"

"Yes, if there is anything you want to know, I came here a year earlier and know a little bit about it."

The two girls finally started chatting. Zhu Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few chats, he took Xie Junjie and started chatting about what he had seen in school.

"Brother, let me tell you some news. Don't spread it. We have to go to the military training for a month this November."

The first-year teaching plan does include eight weeks of military training, but isn't it planned for the second semester?

"You know this, isn't it next semester?"

The last one was also moved forward, during the winter vacation. Zhu Xuefeng was still worried about how to arrange the New Year celebrations, but he didn't expect another change.

"The place where our military training takes place is my dad's army. They are already preparing in advance. The school also recommends that the military training be completed in two times. It is said that the current students' military training lasts for two months at a time, which is too much for their physical fitness."

Last time, it seemed that soldiers and militiamen came to train the students. This time, it seems that they went to the camp themselves.

There seems to be no special arrangements for November, except that I may not be able to practice martial arts, but other effects will not be big. I will make arrangements in advance then.

The few of them chatted for a while before Zhu Xuefeng returned to the dormitory. Lin Na and Xia Yuhong had a lively chat. After just a while, they became like sisters, which saved Zhu Xuefeng's explanation.

...

Technical research is indeed the most time-consuming. Zhu Xuefeng just collected materials and planned detailed plans, and a month passed.

Today is Thursday, the 29th. I have three consecutive days off, and then two days of school. The 5th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have another day off. At this time, I didn’t even take the day off to make up for a long vacation.

The school has notified that starting from this year, the annual military parade will be cancelled. Only grand rallies and mass demonstrations will be held in the square during the festival. The school will also organize participation. Interested students should register in advance, as the number of people is limited. (Due to difficult times, the annual military parade has been canceled since 60)

"Zhu Xuefeng, are you joining the parade? It's very spectacular."

"I won't go. I have been there many times from elementary school to high school. This opportunity will be given to you students who have never participated."

　Thank you to those who voted silently. I am really touched.
