Yi Zhonghai was completely numb at this point. He never expected that Qin Huairu's appetite would be so huge.
Half of my salary, that's 50 yuan!!!
Well! You just touch your upper lip to your lower lip and you're already saying you want it.
He really wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't dare.
Because Qin Huairu's words just now clearly carried a threatening tone.
What should we do now? Yi Zhonghai was very distressed.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was still struggling with his decision, Qin Huairu didn't intend to push him too hard, after all, everything should be done in moderation.
So she resorted to her old tricks, preparing to use the Joyful Dharma to guide people in the world.
"Uncle Hai, you can't blame me for being heartless. That Bang Geng will be your son in the future, and he can take care of you in your old age, right?"
As she spoke, Qin Huairu got to work, using the factory's hand-rolling stick technique to try and influence people.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was still angry inside, but his body betrayed him, and slowly things began to change.
As time went on, he went from passively enjoying the moment to actively attacking, until he finally collapsed completely.
Afterwards, the two lay on the sheets, neither speaking, each lost in their own thoughts.
After a long pause, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have made up his mind and spoke first.
“Huai Ru, to tell you the truth, ever since I took you as my disciple, all my wages have to be handed over to your master’s wife. There is no extra money for you at all.”
"Then what about me? Aren't you going to abandon us, mother and children?"
Qin Huairu didn't press the issue this time, because she sensed that Yi Zhonghai seemed to have a solution.
Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai had already figured out a way. With a clear mind, he casually took out 15 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way. I won't abandon you. Take this money first, and wait for my good news."
Qin Huairu happily accepted the money, wanting to get more information out of Yi Zhonghai, but he refused to reveal anything.
However, Qin Huairu didn't care at all. As long as you have money to spend, I don't care where you got the money from.
After their second encounter that night, the two parted ways. Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family home, but Yi Zhonghai did not go home. Instead, he secretly went to the backyard again...
The next morning, everything was as usual. After getting up, Aunt Yi first made breakfast, and then ran to the backyard to help the old deaf man with his excrement and urine.
After finishing all these tasks, seeing that her husband was still sleeping, she called out helplessly.
"Honey, honey, it's time to get up..."
After her repeated urging, Yi Zhonghai reluctantly got up and dressed.
However, seeing his tired appearance, Aunt Yi was very concerned.
"Honey, you don't look well. How about we take a day off and rest?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine after a while."
Seeing his wife's aged face, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to say anything more. He quickly dressed, grabbed two sheets of toilet paper, and headed towards the outhouse outside the courtyard...
...
At 9 a.m., a standing committee meeting was being held in the institute's conference room.
Meanwhile, today's meeting is also the first Standing Committee meeting attended by Chen Wanchun and Zhou Weimin.
The content of today's meeting was very simple: to discuss the establishment of the engine project.
Before the meeting began, following Sun Zhengguo's instructions, Zhang Yucheng distributed a planning report to each member of the Standing Committee.
After everyone had read it once, Sun Zhengguo began to speak formally.
"Comrades, everyone has read the report, and this is also a task assigned by our superiors. I think everyone agrees on that, right?"
After listening to Sun Zhengguo's words, the Standing Committee members looked at each other and all nodded in agreement.
I thought to myself, "Isn't that obvious? Since it's a task from above, I might as well do it."
"Since the comrades have no objections, the engine development project can be considered officially approved. Let's move on to the next topic."
The Standing Committee members had no idea what Sun Zhengguo was up to, so they just listened.
"As we all know, the task from above this time is very simple: we just need to increase the engine power and reduce the fuel consumption on the existing basis. But I think that's far from enough."
If it were just these things, we could accomplish them effortlessly. So, my plan is either not to do it at all, or to do it the best, to be far ahead of the competition.
At this point, the Standing Committee members finally understood what was going on: they were preparing to increase the difficulty!
Some of them don't understand technology, but they know that increasing the difficulty means increasing the risk.
If the research and development is successfully completed, then everything will be fine, and everyone can just sit back and reap the rewards.
However, similarly, if research and development fails, there will be more than one person to take the blame; everyone will share the responsibility.
There are considerable risks involved!
After a brief hushed discussion, Lee Seung-ri, a conservative, raised a question.
"Director Sun, we would certainly love to develop a more powerful engine, but shouldn't we also consider the risks involved?"
Yes, I admit that it is good to be far ahead and catch up with foreign countries, but no matter what you do, there must be a gradual process.
Furthermore, our industrial base is underdeveloped, and we cannot produce many things independently, so we must be even more cautious. Therefore, could you please reconsider, for example, starting with something simple?
Li Shengli's words represented the sentiments of most people, but there were also those willing to take the risk, such as Deputy Director Zhang.
However, he did not blindly follow orders; instead, he planned to learn more about it first.
"Director Sun, you've talked a lot just now, but what is your research area? Could you elaborate so we can have a better understanding?"
"Alright, I'll just say a few words."
Next, Sun Zhengguo talked about the history of engines and their technological evolution, and then about turbocharging, electronic fuel injection, multi-valve, and so on...
"Comrades! What I've said so much is to tell you that this research and development is about catching up with the world. We can't stop just because we have difficulties. What do you think?"
After listening to Sun Zhengguo's explanation, some people were moved, while others remained undecided. In the end, everyone voted to decide.
Fortunately, the outcome was different today. What used to be a one-sided situation saw 5 people in favor and 4 against, with the votes exceeding half, but that was enough.
After the meeting, all members of the Standing Committee signed the meeting minutes.
Although Lee Seungri had reservations, he had no choice but to sign his name in the end.
Actually, he didn't intentionally want to go against Sun Zhengguo at this meeting; he was just being conservative. In private, their relationship remained the same as usual.
Back in his office, Sun Zhengguo called Zhang Yucheng over and handed him a document.
"Yu Cheng, write a report based on this information, and then I'll sign it. I'll try to send it to the ministry this afternoon."
"Yes, Director."
Zhang Yucheng accepted the materials with a smile, then went back to his office to work on his creative work.
