This is why Xie Sufen didn't dare to offend Aunt Dong. She was quick to jump to conclusions and would ignite a huge pot of gossip at the slightest sign of trouble.
"That's not certain. Maybe he's paying back the money he borrowed before, or maybe Ji Fang is borrowing money from Luo Chungou." Xie Sufen said.
Team Seven and Team Five are not far from each other, only two or three miles away, and there are many intermarriages between the two villages.
Aunt Dong's mouth sank. "That's not true. How could your sister-in-law have any contact with Luo Chungou? Back then, Ji Fang would walk around the village with her eyes looking up at the sky, always saying she wanted to marry in the city. She would lose so much value if she spoke to anyone. How could she still have any contact with Luo Chungou?
I heard that Luo Chungou had some money, so he spent some on Ji Fang and gave her some more, and then the two of them hooked up."
Xie Sufen didn't care about these things. "I didn't have much contact with her before. If she wants to get married, it has nothing to do with me. Our two families have already had such a quarrel. Even if we have contact in the future, it won't be close."
"That's the truth!" Aunt Dong felt that telling gossip to Xie Sufen had both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing was that no matter what was said, Xie Sufen would not spread it out. The bad thing was that no matter what was said, Xie Sufen would not say a word, which was boring.
Ji Xia went to Factory 21 to check on the progress of machine tool production. Before she could even talk to Chen Zenggang, Ji Jianguo arrived, fuming. "It's so hard to get anything done," he complained. "I told them to mix the steel according to the performance parameters Xia Xia gave us, but they just wouldn't agree. They even said our parameters couldn't be achieved and were just wishful thinking."
Ji Xia asked, "Dad, which steel mill did you go to?"
There is more than one steel mill in Bing County. It used to be a major heavy industrial center. When the Russians provided support, they also focused on supporting this area.
The two largest steel mills are Bing Steel and Heigang. There are also two small steel mills. Due to technical and equipment reasons, the output is not very high and they produce some very simple steel products.
"I went to Binggang. I thought Binggang was a little older and they had been praised by their superiors. But when I got there, I didn't expect them to be so arrogant and not listen to me at all."
Qin Xiao introduced, "Ice Steel has recently developed a new type of steel with improved performance compared to previous steels. The higher-ups have praised them and called on the people of the country to learn from them. They must have a lot of work to do."
Ji Xia said, "Then let's go to Black Steel."
Ji Xia plans to go there in person, because steel is a basic material. If the steel does not meet the standards, everything else is useless.
"Dad, you stay here. Qin Xiao and I will go there."
Just as Ji Xia was about to go over, Zeng Guanghua came over, leading someone behind him. When he saw Ji Xia, he immediately smiled, and his intention to please her was too obvious.
The other person was in his early forties, wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, with a square face and bright eyes. He didn't look like a bad person, but the way he looked at Ji Xia was like a dog that had been hungry for three days looking at a piece of pork belly.
Qin Xiao's stern face was covered with a layer of frost. He took a step forward calmly, blocking his wife and obstructing the view of the man in the Zhongshan suit.
Zeng Guanghua and the man were completely unaware and walked straight up to Ji Xia. "Hello, Mr. Xia, I'm Yang Baoguo, the director of Fu Steel. Don't blame Secretary Zeng. I was the one who shamelessly begged him to bring me here. You need some special steel, and we'd like you to give us a chance to fully cooperate."
Zeng Guanghua listened to Yang Baoguo's inconsistent speech and explained, "Xia Xia, this is what happened. We want to make machine tools, and we mentioned the steel issue last time. Baoguo and I happen to know each other, and his production tasks are not particularly large right now. I wanted him to help with the debugging. He is willing to cooperate, but his ability is a little lacking."
Zeng Guanghua called Ji Xia like this in front of Yang Baoguo, as if to show off how close his relationship with Ji Xia was. However, according to seniority, Zeng Guanghua was older than Ji Jianguo, and they were uncles, so it was not wrong to call Ji Xia like this.
Ji Xia asked Yang Baoguo to introduce the situation of their factory. It was not far away, just north of Bing County, so Ji Xia decided to go over and take a look.
Zeng Guanghua had thought it would be very difficult, but Ji Xia was unexpectedly so easy to talk to. Suddenly, Ji Xia's image in his eyes became much taller. He turned around and said to Chen Zenggang, "Mr. Xia is very skilled and capable, and he also cares about the national industry. He is truly loyal!"
Chen Zenggang was also moved to tears. "I used to say that their generation doesn't have the revolutionary spirit of the older generation, and I'm afraid they won't be able to handle the country in their hands in the future. But seeing President Xia like this, I also feel that our generation is old, so we should shine as brightly as possible."
Before he could finish his sigh, Zeng Guanghua glared at him, "How are you doing with that welding thing? President Xia asked Jianguo to bring it back. The solder paste soldering should be handled as a priority, just like the airport factory."
Poor Chen Zenggang hasn't been home for half a month since Ji Xia set his eyes on their factory. He just finds a corner in the factory to spend the night. His wife has come to the factory several times to look for him.
If I really couldn't find anyone, I would have already gotten a divorce certificate.
Chen Zenggang had originally planned to go back and take a shower and change his clothes while the steel issue was still unresolved. He was already smelling bad, but then another soldering issue came up. He had no choice but to accept the order and run back to work.
It's all about putting together a team, preparing the factory, arranging technicians to draw equipment drawings, and asking the purchasing department to find equipment and materials.
Chen Zenggang touched his hair and found that his originally thick hair had become sparse. Why?
Zeng Guanghua is actually the same. He is busier than Chen Zenggang. In addition to taking care of Ji Xia's work, he also has to deal with the tasks from above. Chen Zenggang has never been home, and he also never goes home when he passes by.
This is definitely what happens in later generations, where the leader just opens his mouth and the workers run themselves ragged.
If Ji Xia knew about this, she would at most say that Ling Lingqi was a blessing.
Although the steel plant's output was not high, it occupied a very large area because land was not valuable at that time.
Ji Xia took a look at the layout of the steel plant from the outside and had his own ideas in mind. If Yang Baoguo knew that he would have to sleep in the factory for the next few years and could not go home, I wonder if he would regret it now?
Qin Xiao had been to Black Steel and Ice Steel before, and now seeing Fugang's appearance, he looked down on them. He asked softly, "Do you want to go to Black Steel and Ice Steel and have them say hello?"
Yang Baoguo heard this and felt a pang in his heart. He thought to himself, what's wrong with this young man? He's just causing trouble.
Ji Xia shook her head. "No need. I just want to find a factory that doesn't have a heavy production load. The most important thing in steelmaking is temperature. So, if you want to make good steel, the production line needs to be modified to some extent. A factory of Fugang's size would be best."
When Yang Baoguo heard this, he almost jumped for joy. "Boss Xia, you will be the chief engineer of our factory from now on. As the factory director, I promise to listen to you and do whatever you say."
