After settling in, Cao Qing and Ren Jianian evacuated first. One was in charge of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, and the other was in charge of the production line of the daily chemical factory. It was the end of the year for both of them.
Of course Qiu Yuling is also important, but what she has to do now is more important.
In this way, she took care of three little old men and brought back two production lines from the machinery factory.
One is for plastic packaging and the other is for menstrual belts. They don’t like the term “sanitary napkin” yet, but it doesn’t matter. Once it is officially put on the agenda, everyone will get used to this name.
While the production line is being arranged, soft technical issues have also been pushed forward in an orderly manner.
For example, Qiu Yuling proposed that the prototype of pressure-sensitive adhesive should be developed in relation to the anti-allergic effect of sanitary napkins and diapers.
Used on the side wings or adhesive parts of sanitary napkins, it has good adhesiveness and removability, making it convenient for users to use and change.
This is also deduced based on the records in Qiu Yuling's detailed work notes. Not only that, she also has various strategies for targeting foreign businessmen.
For example, since they were ahead of other countries in this matter, they would inevitably be criticized. She listed many possible problems, such as traces of glue left on underwear.
For example, the contact surface between the product and the skin may cause discomfort to a very small number of people, commonly known as allergy.
Be sure to clearly explain the product in advance and don't give them any loopholes to exploit.
It took five months, and when Qiu Yuling and her group returned, it was the May Fourth Youth Day of the following year.
The bureau joined hands with other factories and units in the city to organize a large-scale social gathering.
Qiu Yuling was exhausted and had not even had time to land the workshop, but she asked Cao Qing to pull it out first. He was afraid that Qiu Yuling would refuse, so he insisted that she was the face of the company.
"No, Director Cao, we don't need people like this. Please at least let me take a break." She had been away from home for nearly half a year, had no phone calls, and had only sent two letters home. In her mother's reply, there was a kind of sadness that she had been abducted.
"That's what relaxation is all about. Put work aside. You don't have to do anything, just hang out there. If you want to talk to someone, just talk to them. If you don't want to, eat and drink well. I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
At this point, Qiu Yuling's struggle seemed extremely powerless.
Seeing that she agreed, her female leader made another excessive request, "Dress up. Everyone knows you are the flower of our Agricultural Reclamation Bureau. Go there in a dazzling manner. Don't let those brother units think you are bragging..."
Sister Cao had long since unknowingly transformed into Mother Cao.
Qiu Yuling wasn't the type to be ungrateful. She smiled and said, "This should be considered a government-sponsored job. Give me two more days off later."
Cao Qing smiled, "It's a small matter!"
The social gathering starts in the afternoon, so Qiu Yuling still has time to wash and dress up.
After returning home, I locked the door, went back to the cabin, and washed myself thoroughly inside and out.
The weather in May is still very cool in the morning and evening.
Qiu Yuling wore thick white socks, square-toed leather shoes, a white long-sleeved shirt with a doll collar, a black corduroy skirt with a wide hem, and a goose yellow sweater as a small outer layer.
Cao Qing was afraid that she would not come, so he went to wait in the hall set up for the social party. Only when he saw Qiu Yuling coming in a gorgeous dress did he feel relieved.
She instructed the female cadres from the Women's Federation and the Labor Union standing nearby, "Please pay attention to Section Chief Qiu's performance tonight."
As soon as Qiu Yuling entered, she saw simple Chinese dim sum on the long table inside. However, in a party like this, everyone was there for business, and even the greediest people restrained themselves for fear of embarrassing themselves in front of others.
Qiu Yuling didn't want to call herself unconventional. Although she didn't have time to eat, she ate a bun to fill her stomach before going out and just looked at it a few more times.
A male voice came from behind, "Xiao Qiu, haven't you eaten yet?"
The voice sounded familiar. Qiu Yuling turned her head and realized it was someone she knew.
"Second Brother Xingyao? You are here too?" The young man in front of him was tall and straight, and his well-fitting clothes made him look more elegant. It was obvious that he came prepared.
The fat boy nudged his buddy next to him and said, "Junzi, look at that girl. Is she the one we met that time when we watched The Red Detachment of Women?"
Li Hongjun looked up and it was indeed Qiu Yuling. Just as he was about to go over, he found that the person standing next to her was a colleague from the Geological Bureau.
He reached out his hand to stop Xiaopang, "Don't go over there yet, there are people there."
Xiaopang was anxious, "What are you afraid of? We all just want to get to know each other. Isn't this what the social gathering is for? Let's go."
Li Xingyao scratched the back of his head uncomfortably and said, "Call me by my name." It felt weird to be called brother by her.
Qiu Yuling had long since stopped wanting to call him that, but he was her uncle's grandson. She had previously called Li Xinghui "Big Brother" when she first met him, and she couldn't be partial to her second brother. Upon hearing this, she readily complied, "Hello, Comrade Li Xingyao."
In fact, taking all factors into consideration, Li Xingyao is suitable. His family is simple yet not simple, and his family tradition is good. The most important thing is that he has a good career and has traveled all over the world, so he doesn't have to waste his energy on dealing with relationships between men and women endlessly.
The two people were chatting idly about the old man when two more people interrupted them, one of whom was also an acquaintance.
Qiu Yuling always knew what she wanted and what she didn't want. Not to mention whether love was a necessity, even if it was, she didn't like the feeling of being forced into pursuit.
So after a polite greeting, Qiu Yuling spoke first, "What a coincidence, are you here to return the ten dollars?"
The little fat boy was surprised that she had remembered ten dollars for so long. Well, she must be obsessed with money.
In front of others, Li Hongjun could no longer refuse, so he took out a big unity banknote from his pocket and handed it over reluctantly. Qiu Yuling took it without any hesitation.
He felt empty inside, as if the ten dollars had severed the already weak connection between the two of them.
Some people find the combination of handsome men and beautiful women pleasing to the eye, while others secretly feel dissatisfied.
Qiu Yuling felt as if the air was almost frozen. She looked at her watch and said, "I just got back today and I'm really tired. I'll be leaving first. You guys can chat slowly."
He nodded politely, and without paying any attention to the two men with undercurrents, he turned around and left.
Li Xingyao didn't care about anything else and chased after him. "I'll take you there. It's just right. I'm not used to staying here either."
"Junzi, aren't you going?" The little fat boy poked his friend, feeling that something was not right with him.
Even if Li Hongjun was slow to react, he could sense Qiu Yuling's rejection of him. "I just came over to say hello to an acquaintance. She's busy, why should I chase her? Let's go and do our own thing."
Li Xingyao caught up with Qiu Yuling. "Li Hongjun is my colleague. He came to the institute later than me. I think he spent some time in Beijing before. We are in different teams and our missions don't overlap, so I'm not very familiar with him."
He did not ask how Qiu Yuling and Li Hongjun knew each other, but instead explained what kind of relationship he had with them.
