The old man put the melon seeds into his pocket with a smile, opened his mouth with two missing front teeth and said:

"Yes, you can go in by yourselves and go to the production department to find Director Wang."

"Okay, thank you very much, sir. You are such a good man, I'm sure you will live a long life!"

After Lu Wensheng finished speaking, he walked away with his bicycle, leaving the old security guard at the door alone, grinning so hard that his teeth and eyes were not visible:

"The little girl speaks so sweetly. You can tell at first glance that she is from a wealthy family!"

He happily stuffed a melon seed into his mouth and slowly ground it with the remaining gums.

Hmm... if I eat this handful of melon seeds slowly, it will last until the New Year!

The security guard patted his pockets contentedly, as if he was afraid that the melon seeds would grow wings and fly away.

Here, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling soon met Director Wang of the Production Department.

After handing over the note and money given by the village chief, he received a large piece of plaster directly from Director Wang.

"Thank you, Director Wang. You are such a kind person!"

"Is there any happy event in your village recently? Why do you make so much tofu?"

Director Wang was puzzled, wondering which village was so rich that they could buy gypsum worth ten yuan to make tofu.

Lu Wensheng was dumbfounded. When she bought the gypsum, she said it was for making tofu. What else could she say? Could she say they wanted to make their own fertilizer?

If the higher-ups knew about this, the recipe would definitely be lost.

The most important thing is that they haven’t worked out the formula yet. If they announce it out and still can’t make it, wouldn’t that make them a laughing stock?

"Hehe... We don't know how the leaders arrange things, we can only do what they tell us, right? As for why...

I dare not ask, I dare not say..."

Director Wang nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Yes, yes, you young comrades are very conscious! It's rare to find young comrades with such awareness as you!"

Director Wang knew very well that leaders all liked people like this young comrade, who would do whatever he was told, never ask any questions or say anything unnecessary, and absolutely obeyed arrangements and followed commands.

So Director Wang has a very good impression of Lu Wensheng. He is good-looking, polite, good at talking and doesn't talk too much. Isn't this exactly the kind of subordinate he wants!

Such a talent would not be found anywhere else in the chemical factory.

Director Wang also felt a desire to attract talented people, so he asked:

"Young comrade, are you interested in coming to work at our chemical factory? We will have a recruitment exam in the spring after the New Year. If you are interested, come and have a look."

Lu Wensheng was filled with gratitude and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you so much, Director Wang, you are so selfless.

You’re telling outsiders like us such a good thing. Director Wang, you will definitely be promoted this year!

When my sister and I come to take the exam next spring, the director must take good care of us."

Compared to Lu Wensheng, Shen Lingling's mouth seemed a little clumsy. She knew her shortcomings in this area, so she didn't say anything. She just looked at Director Wang with admiration and nodded:

"Yes, yes, that's right, Shengsheng is right! It's such an honor for the chemical plant to have a director like you!"

Director Wang was so delighted by their praise that he looked at the two young comrades in front of him with a smile, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them:

"Why are you still calling me Director Wang? That's a bit unorthodox, isn't it? Just call me Uncle Wang. We have a little girl at home who is about the same age as you two. Come to Uncle Wang's house and play when you are free."

Lu Wensheng was smiling like a flower at this moment, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice:

"Okay, Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, we'll leave first.

Our village chief is still waiting for us at the gate of the commune. We can’t keep him waiting for too long in such a cold day.”

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was even more satisfied with the two of them. They really respect the elderly and love the young!

"Okay, okay, let's go now. Be careful on the road. If you need plaster again in the future, come and tell me directly. I don't want your tickets."

Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling flattered Director Wang again before getting on their bicycles and leaving.

Hehe, this is simply perfect!

"Shengsheng, where are we going next?"

Shen Lingling threw the pile of plaster directly into the space in a deserted place.

There's nothing I can do. Director Wang gave me too much and it's a bit heavy to carry.

Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and suggested: "It's still early, let's go to the market first, see if there's anything we need, and buy some before going back.

Then we can go to the state-owned restaurant to have a meal and don’t have to rush home.”

She had never seen a fair of this era. She had wanted to come and see it for a long time, but had never had the chance. Today was the right day, so it was impossible not to go.

Shen Lingling hasn't been to the market for a long time. Thinking back on it, it seemed like the last time she went to the market was something from her previous life. Now when she heard Shengsheng mention it, she felt excited and nodded quickly.

Thinking that he was sitting in the back, Shengsheng couldn't see him nodding, so he quickly spoke:

"Okay! Then let's go to the market. I want to buy that flowery cotton jacket."

Lu Wensheng: "..."

What a hobby!

In fact, Shen Lingling saw someone wearing a floral cotton jacket on the street and thought it was very festive, so she wanted to buy one for her own sister. Her own sister is so pretty, and she will definitely look very beautiful in a floral cotton jacket.

Wear it and you will be the most beautiful girl in the area!

Lu Wensheng: Thank you for the invitation, really!
