So Lu Kai has been studying reference books and looking through the drawings left by veteran designers.
He even had the audacity to ask Gu Zhiyuan for advice.
It's all in preparation for a new mission.
He knew about Gu Zhiyuan's design of the heating table, but he didn't take it seriously at first. He thought that Gu Zhiyuan had only been working for a few days and was already abusing his power.
He was secretly considering whether or not to have someone report him.
The thought had barely formed when he heard that Gu Zhiyuan was paying for it out of his own pocket, so he reluctantly gave up the idea.
Later, when they saw the heating table, which was so simple, the machine factory temporarily shut down other unimportant production lines and transferred a group of workers to produce it.
He wasn't without jealousy; the heating table had a simple design, but the thought behind it was truly remarkable.
Especially after hearing that the heating table wasn't Gu Zhiyuan's idea, but rather his country girl girlfriend's, which Gu Zhiyuan designed based on her idea.
For a moment, I didn't know what to feel.
He and Gu Zhiyuan, Xu Zhenzhu and Xu Ningyan.
They were immediately compared to each other by people in the factory.
His words implied that he was inferior to Gu Zhiyuan, and Xu Zhenzhu was inferior to Xu Ningyan.
He refused to admit that he was inferior to Gu Zhiyuan.
But Xu Zhenzhu is not as good as Xu Ningyan, and that's what he thought in his heart.
In Lu Kai's view, Xu Zhenzhu graduated from high school, while Xu Ningyan was a country girl who stopped going to school after graduating from elementary school.
It is said that a virtuous wife can bring good fortune to her husband, so why doesn't Xu Zhenzhu have such ingenious ideas to help him?
However, Lu Kai knew he was being a bit too demanding, so these thoughts only flashed through his mind.
The only option is to focus more attention on the new task and vow to outperform Gu Zhiyuan in it.
Therefore, I spend an extra hour studying at the machine factory every day before going home.
Xu Zhenzhu had prepared the meal early, with tofu and fish stew simmering on the stove. Half a day had passed, but Lu Kai still hadn't returned.
It gets dark early, and Lu Kai slowly rode his bicycle into the house as dusk fell.
Xu Zhenzhu barely managed to suppress her anger, but her facial expression was still noticeably unpleasant.
He told Lu Kai to wash his hands and eat.
Before she was reborn and married Lu Kai, she had never cooked a meal.
After marrying Lu Kai, she didn't live with her in-laws, so she naturally had to cook for herself. She couldn't eat in the cafeteria every day, could she?
Fortunately, she wasn't completely incapable of cooking. In her previous life, she had lived a hard life, and her only skill was her cooking, which was barely presentable.
After the dishes were separated, she quickly won over Lu Kai's stomach with her culinary skills.
Lu Kai smelled the aroma of stewed tofu and fish and realized he was starving.
He agreed, quickly washed his hands, picked up the bowl, and ladled out a bowl of soup to drink slowly.
If Lu Kai were to say what he's most satisfied with after marrying Xu Zhenzhu, it would be her cooking skills, which are far superior to those of his own mother, Lu's mother.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Lu Kai felt warmer and praised Xu Zhenzhu, saying, "Zhenzhu, this fish and tofu stew is delicious! Thank you for your hard work!"
Xu Zhenzhu forced a smile and placed a piece of fish belly meat on Lu Kai's plate: "Eat more if you like it!"
Lu Kai buried his head in his food, completely unaware of Xu Zhenzhu's unusual expression.
Xu Zhenzhu took a few deep breaths and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
Lu Kai finished off a whole large pot of fish stew with tofu by himself, and even used the fish soup to soak a bowl of rice. After letting out a satisfied burp, he put down his chopsticks and sat on a recliner. He turned on the radio, tuned it to his usual channel, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, looking quite content.
Xu Zhenzhu went to wash the dishes and tidied up the kitchen before coming in. Lu Kai draped a thick blanket over himself. Hearing Xu Zhenzhu's footsteps, he thought for a moment and said, "Recently, those heated tables in our factory have become very popular. I heard that if you put a coal stove in the room, as long as the coal fire is kept burning day and night, the room will be warm all day long."
"The weather is getting colder and colder. I'll buy one from the factory tomorrow at the employee price and install it. Then I won't be cold when I read at night, and you'll have hot water for cooking and washing clothes every day."
He seemed to be considering Xu Zhenzhu's feelings.
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because bringing it up only stirred up the jealousy in Xu Zhenzhu's heart.
She bit her lip, unconvinced, and said, "Just a coal stove can keep the whole room warm? I don't believe it! I'd rather believe a charcoal brazier!"
Lu Kai rubbed his hands, which were freezing, but he was quite fair at this moment: "You know what, that heated table is really good. We've already installed one in our office. As long as you remember to add coal regularly, your hands won't get cold even if you leave them out all day, and you can always have hot water to drink."
That would have been the end of it, but he added, "This heating table was your eldest niece's idea, and Gu Zhiyuan got a free lunch! You used to live in the countryside, how come you didn't have such a good idea?"
These words really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Xu Zhenzhu was already in a bad mood, and when she saw Lu Kai's words, she realized that he actually admired Xu Ningyan.
She was both angry and scared: she was already married to Lu Kai, so how could Lu Kai still admire Xu Ningyan? Could it be that they were destined for each other? Even if they were separated, would they still have feelings for each other?
On second thought, how could Xu Ningyan, a country girl, have such abilities? Could it be that Xu Ningyan knew about Lu Kai's benefits and deliberately came up with the idea of a heated table to attract Lu Kai's attention?
"She really is a vixen!" Xu Zhenzhu thought to herself, grinding her teeth inwardly.
After Lu Kai said that, he didn't take it to heart and went back to listening to the radio.
Xu Zhenzhu grew increasingly jealous and resentful. A thought suddenly struck her: "How could Siya, a country girl who can't even read a few words, have this ability? I think there's something fishy going on here."
"You don't know yet, do you? Xu Siya got a permanent position because of this heating table! They say the department store went to negotiate the contract for the heating table with your machinery factory, all thanks to the relationship between Xu Siya and Gu Zhiyuan!"
"I think it's more likely that Gu Zhiyuan wanted to give Xu Siya a permanent position, so he put his idea on her."
"Otherwise, she's just a temporary worker who's only been there for six months, and she thinks she can get into the supply and marketing system? Don't even dream about it!"
"You need to investigate this thoroughly to see if Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Siya did it on purpose! I don't believe Siya has the ability to do this!"
Lu Kai fell into deep thought after hearing Xu Zhenzhu's words. After a while, he asked, "Are you sure it was a trick played by Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Siya to get her a permanent position?"
Xu Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and nodded: "Otherwise, how would Xu Siya know this? Brother Lu, why don't you go and investigate?"
Lu Kai's expression shifted rapidly, and after a long while, he looked at Xu Zhenzhu and said, "I don't care what you're thinking, just behave yourself lately! Our factory has a very crucial task that concerns my future, and we absolutely cannot let anything go wrong!"
Although Xu Zhenzhu was unhappy, she could only endure it because it concerned Lu Kai's future career!
After all, becoming the wife of the richest man in the provincial capital is more important!
