Scholars in the courtyard

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, it was already dark. When he came home, Ran Qiuye fried cabbage and the two of them sat at the table to eat.

"The Jia family finally came together?"

Ran Qiuye asked. He also heard some rumors in the afternoon, but he was not sure.

"Um."

Yang Xiaotao smeared the chili sauce on the Erhe noodle steamed buns and took a big bite. Ran Qiuye's appetite increased greatly, but unfortunately it was too spicy and he couldn't stand it.

"Qin Huairu led the child to block the door all day long without being beaten. If someone gets killed if he is caught, who can bear it?"

"Several leaders knew about it and didn't want to make a big deal out of it at this time, so they pinched their noses and admitted it."

"However, there is Yi Zhonghai's shadow behind this matter. These people in our courtyard are really awesome."

Naturally, I heard this from Wang Guodong.

Xu Yuanshan and the others always had a cold face, and even Sun Guo, the director of the first workshop, also had a bad face.

I heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to take leave these two days, but Sun Guo refused.

Moreover, Sun Guo took away Chen Gong's relationship and transferred Jia Dongxu's position to the tenth workshop. This meant that when Qin Huairu came, he would not be in the first workshop, so he was out of sight and out of mind.

When Yang Xiaotao entered the steel rolling mill, he knew several directors of the steel rolling mill workshop. The director of these ten workshops is Guo Xingsheng, who is the Guo Da Paizi in the film and television.

This guy Guo is not an honest person. He is not afraid of anything from soft to hard. He can still sit in this position for so long. He is neither top-notch nor lagging behind. If I have to say it, mediocrity is an appropriate description.

However, this Qin Huairu entered him, haha

"Qin Huairu? Isn't she pregnant?"

Ran Qiuye asked curiously.

"Wait until Qin Huairu gives birth to the child, then go to work in the steel rolling mill."

"But she has to start as an apprentice."

After all, Qin Huairu was the only one who could provide the Jia family with the hard work.

If she expects Jia and Zhang to work, won't that cost her her life?

Ran Qiuye was a little surprised after hearing this, "Not a successor?"

"No, I'll start as an apprentice."

"Then, what should I do if I can't pass?"

"Don't worry, isn't there a master in the courtyard? He is an eighth-level master."

"Listen to what you said, how come you are being sarcastic?"

Ran Qiuye remembered that Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, and he was still a first-level fitter.

Well

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, "That's what I mean."

Ha ha

On Friday, Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to Ran Qiuye. When he came to the office, he took out the drawings copied by the technical department and put them on the table to check one by one.

Although the director of the technical department has carefully reviewed it, Yang Xiaotao still wants to check it again. If there is an error in this thing and it is taken back, the damage caused is not small.

He couldn't help but be careless.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was working hard, the door of the office was pushed open, and then he saw Xu Yuanshan walking in.

Then, there was a familiar person behind him, standing at the door, and Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Tao."

Xu Yuanshan's voice brought Yang Xiaotao back to his senses, and he quickly moved away from Lou Xiao'e. Although he didn't understand what Lou Xiao'e was doing here, he quickly realized, "Director!"

Xu Yuanshan walked over and said solemnly, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, this is Comrade Lou Xiao'e. From now on, he will be a member of the R\u0026D team. Please get to know him."

"What?"

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but shout out, looking at Lou Xiao'e in disbelief.

"Director."

"This is a unanimous decision by the leaders of the steel rolling mill. From now on, Comrade Lou Xiaoe will work here. I hope you will unite sincerely and work hard together to build the steel rolling mill."

Xu Yuanshan looked serious, and Yang Xiaotao could only calm down, "Yes, thank the leader for taking care of him."

Yang Xiaotao said, especially the pronunciation of the last two words.

Xu Yuanshan ignored him, turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e."

"Director Xu."

Lou Xiao'e obviously didn't expect that she would be arranged here when she entered the steel rolling mill, and she was confused for a moment.

Working with Yang Xiaotao always feels awkward.

But after hearing Xu Yuanshan's words, he quickly reacted.

"This is Yang Xiaotao, who is also the leader of our R\u0026D team. He has made important contributions to our steel rolling mill. I hope you can learn from him in the future and assist Comrade Yang Xiaotao in completing the tasks assigned by your superiors."

"Yes, factory director, I will try hard to learn from Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Lou Xiao'e didn't feel confident in what she said.

Now, any communication between two people may be a problem.

When did you last speak?

"Well, you first go to the human resources department to go through the factory entry procedures."

Lou Xiao'e left quickly, leaving only two people in the room.

"Director, Uncle Xu, what the hell is going on?"

Yang Xiaotao shouted directly, "This Lou Xiao'e, why did she come back to the steel rolling mill? How did she get assigned to me?"

"It's not suitable for the two of us to be together."

Xu Yuanshan took out his cigarette, "Isn't it appropriate?"

"Yes, it's inappropriate. It will affect my work."

"Oh, what's wrong? Your thinking is incorrect. Are you still thinking of making a personal mistake?"

"I"

"What am I? If you keep your bottom line and have a bright mind, are you still afraid of this? Or are you unable to withstand the temptation?"

Xu Yuanshan still put the cigarette case on the table. Yang Xiaotao choked, took a deep breath, picked up the cigarette case and stuffed it into his pocket. Xu Yuanshan felt a pain in his heart when he saw it. This was just opened.

"Of course I won't make a mistake."

Yang Xiaotao said with certainty, not to mention that Ran Qiuye was pregnant now, but even if she wasn't, he would keep himself clean.

He is not a playboy, otherwise with his ability, if he really wanted to do something extraordinary, he would have become a thief long ago.

A hundred years of life is enough to have a close friend.

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

"This is the result of a unanimous decision by superior leaders."

"There's no room for discounts."

Yang Xiaotao was silent and calmed down. If he treated Lou Xiao'e as an ordinary colleague, nothing would happen.

I'm afraid that other people don't think so about this matter.

Especially those in the courtyard are good at stirring up trouble.

It seems that I need to go back and have a good talk with my wife.

Yang Xiaotao made a mental decision.

"Yes, I understand."

"We just learned about this not long ago, top."

Xu Yuanshan pointed up, and Yang Xiaotao understood.

"It was arranged directly from above."

"After making arrangements, why did you give it to me?"

Xu Yuanshan glanced next door, meaning that this matter was decided by Lao Yang.

"You are the only commander in the entire department. If not, who will give it to you?"

"Besides, what can you do if you ask her to go to the workshop? The boss's face must be taken care of."

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to say, "But they are throwing everything at me."

"Okay, that's it, I'm still busy."

"Also, I'm warning you kid, don't make any mistakes."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yang Xiaotao waved his fists, "I am the one who made mistakes?"

Then, he sat down angrily.

Now that things are like this, what can we do?

Only work

After a while, Lou Xiao'e finished the formalities and came to the door. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door and entering.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and then continued working.

Lou Xiao'e bit her lower lip, walked to Yang Xiaotao, and remained silent.

Yang Xiaotao sat up straight after reading the drawings in hand.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e turned her head to the side and dared not look directly.

Perhaps it was a little awkward for the two of them to meet in this way.

Moreover, she felt uncomfortable thinking about having to work together in the future.

But she was unwilling to give up the opportunity she had finally obtained.

Yang Xiaotao stood up at this time, and Lou Xiao'e's body trembled, but she didn't want Yang Xiaotao to directly reach out her hand, "Hello, Comrade Lou Xiao'e."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned on the spot and turned to look at Yang Xiaotao. There was no joking, no pride, and no look down on her face.

And Yang Xiaotao's "Hello, comrade" is an acknowledgment of the relationship between the two parties, colleagues.

As for the previous relationship, no matter what it was, it was all gone after these words were spoken.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

The two shook hands and parted at the first touch.

"I will give you more advice in the future."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand. His R\u0026D team was an independent department in itself, and he had no idea what to do specifically.

Even when the workshop is busy, he still has to perform the duties of an eighth-level fitter, so he really doesn't know how to do this.

"If you don't dare give me advice, let's just learn together."

…

At noon, Lou Xiao'e followed Yang Xiaotao with a lunch box.

It was the first time she came to the steel rolling mill, and everything was unfamiliar. She really didn't know what to do except follow Yang Xiaotao.

"This is a canteen, and it also has the best food in the steel rolling mill. You need money and tickets to eat."

"By the way, what level will I give you?"

Yang Xiaotao introduced while queuing up.

Lou Xiao'e was a little reserved, not at all like she was when she was in the courtyard, especially when talking to Yang Xiaotao, she was even more cautious.

"It's said to be treated as a seventh-level clerk."

Yang Xiaotao calculated mentally that the salary of a seventh-level clerk is quite a lot, about 37.5 per month. This is on the same level as Shazhu's eighth-level cook, and even more than a second-level fitter.

"Save some flowers, it's enough to feed the family."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he led Lou Xiao'e to get food.

The two of them didn't look for Shazhu's window, but came to a small window. After eating, they found a seat and sat down.

After a while, Wang Fa and others came around with rice bowls and talked about the workshop. Some people also saw Lou Xiao'e and knew that she was Xu Damao's daughter-in-law, but they didn't know how to sit together.

Lou Xiao'e ate her meal, looking at Yang Xiaotao from time to time, and listening to the comments of people around her. She had never thought of this kind of working environment.

After Lou Xiao'e finished eating, Wang Facai asked what happened.

Yang Xiaotao didn't intend to hide it, so he just said it directly. From now on, the R\u0026D team will no longer be a mere commander.

Everyone was in disbelief when they heard this. Yang Xiaotao didn't say much. After all, divorce is a family matter.

In the kitchen, Shazhu, who was resting, saw Liu Lan running over in a hurry, and almost collided with the supervisor when passing by the door.

Silly Zhu was already angry with the supervisor, but when he saw him this time, he immediately scolded Liu Lan, "You don't have eyes, and you can't see the road. If you don't work every day, it will only cause trouble."

As he spoke, he looked at the supervisor next to him and scolded him.

The supervisor was not angry. The meal was finished and the leftovers were properly kept to avoid waste and corruption before leaving the kitchen.

Liu Lan was scolded a few times, but she also knew that Sha Zhu was venting her anger and didn't care about anything else. She hurried up and said, "Si Zhu, guess who I saw?"

Silly Zhu continued to lie down, "Who? Could it be the King of Heaven?"

"Lou Xiao'e."

"who?"

Silly Zhu straightened up, "Who are you talking about?"

"Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's ex-wife, came to work in our steel rolling mill and also worked with Yang Xiaotao."

"What?"

Silly Zhu was so excited that he swayed from his chair, got up and patted his butt, "You mean, Lou Xiao'e, with Yang Xiaotao?"

Liu Lan nodded, "I was eating in the cafeteria just now."

"Now everyone in the factory knows that Lou Xiao'e is a member of the R\u0026D team, so isn't she just following Yang Xiaotao?"

Silly Zhu opened his mouth wide and suddenly laughed again, "Shamao, Silly Mao, hahahaha, you never expected that my own wife was raped again"

"This will be fun."

Everyone in the kitchen was surprised to see Silly Zhu smiling to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Yang Xiaotao finished his meal, he walked around the workshop and then walked to the office.

Before I opened the door, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

After staying for a moment and recognizing who it was, Yang Xiaotao frowned. One person was already annoying enough, but here comes another one. It’s really annoying.

Thinking of this, he stopped going in and turned around to walk towards Xu Yuanshan's house.
