Chapter 21 Director Lu will still meet
"I'm still short of ten yuan, ten catties of grain coupons, five catties of cotton coupons, eight feet of cloth coupons, one industrial coupon, one soap coupon, and one catty of sugar coupons!"
Lu Liangchen spoke in a cold voice, and not only Li Shengli but even Jiang Haitang was stunned.
This was the amount we agreed upon before, why did it suddenly increase?
"Director Lu, did you remember it wrongly? This is what we agreed upon."
"This is your compensation for when we returned to Qingshuigou yesterday. Your family refused to allow Jiang Haitang to move her belongings and even intended to insult her!" Lu Liangchen spoke every word seriously.
Jiang Haitang almost clapped his hands in applause.
Why didn’t I think of it before?
It’s still Director Lu who can do it!
I will definitely thank Director Lu later.
Jiang Haitang looked at Lu Liangchen with stars in her eyes.
"Director Li, I've worked so hard at your house for so many years, and I didn't even bring out a piece of clothing, let alone bedding. You should compensate me!"
Looking at Jiang Haitang's bullying behavior, Lu Liangchen laughed secretly.
"This is all I have right now. How about giving me a few more days and I'll get some more?"
Li Shengli didn't want to give Jiang Haitang money for nothing anymore.
Just delay it first and don’t give it to me.
Lu Liangchen said coldly, "Given your relationship, it's best if you don't see each other as often as possible. I happen to have this much money on me, so I'll lend it to Director Li first. Director Li can just return it to me when he gets the money. You're welcome."
Li Shengli was a little confused as he held a pile of banknotes. Is there such a thing?
This is the first time I see someone eager to lend money to someone else. He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.
But he had to borrow it.
Li Shengli had no choice but to grit his teeth and thank Lu Liangchen.
"Director Lu, thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Just remember to return it on time. After all, I'm different from you. I have a family to support."
Li Shengli was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Is this a satire on not being able to support my family?
But no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to give the money and tickets to Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang looked extremely happy.
"Jiang Haitang, think carefully. From now on, we are even."
Jiang Haitang smiled brightly at him handsomely.
"Don't worry, we're even now. Let's say goodbye now, and it's best not to see each other again."
Li Shengli looked at Jiang Haitang's bright smile and suddenly felt that Jiang Haitang was actually quite pretty except for a few dark spots.
"Jiang Haitang, come to my office. I have some work matters to tell you."
Seeing that everything was done, Lu Liangchen extended the invitation.
Jiang Haitang obediently followed Lu Liangchen to the deputy director's office.
Li Shengli looked at the backs of the two people and always felt that something was wrong.
Lu Liangchen is the deputy factory director in charge of technical research and development and security, but he is not responsible for logistics. What kind of work should he give to a temporary worker in the cafeteria?
Like Li Shengli, the people in the surrounding offices who were eavesdropping had the same doubts.
Today's big show really made them enjoy themselves.
When Jiang Haitang arrived at Lu Liangchen's office, she felt much more awkward than when she was arguing with Li Shengli before.
"Sit down, why are you standing?"
Lu Liangchen asked Jiang Haitang to sit down while pouring water for her in a cup.
Jiang Haitang looked at the tall and upright man's back. It was this man who helped her time and time again and gave her a great sense of security.
When Lu Liangchen turned around, he saw Jiang Haitang staring at him.
"What are you looking at?"
"Director Lu, it's you who truly deserves to be called a soldier!"
"There are good and bad people. Although most soldiers are good, there are also some bad apples."
"Director Lu, you should smile more often."
For some unknown reason, Jiang Haitang actually said such a sentence. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Just as I was about to apologize, I heard Lu Liangchen say, "Okay, smile more."
ah?
Jiang Haitang looked over in surprise.
Lu Liangchen coughed lightly and handed the cup of water to Jiang Haitang.
"I added rock sugar and soaked it in warm water. It tastes just right."
After saying that, he hurried back to his desk, using the excuse of drinking water to hide his emotions.
"Director Lu, that's not necessary..."
Rock sugar, this is a rare thing.
"It's all ready, just drink it."
Jiang Haitang took a sip from the water cup, and it tasted sweet with the rock sugar.
She thought that her future life might be as sweet as this glass of water, and a smile appeared on her face.
Lu Liangchen looked at the little girl and she suddenly smiled. He thought that she liked the water with rock sugar.
He glanced at the tea cabinet and asked the little girl to take all the rock sugar back when he left.
"Director Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Jiang Haitang, have you ever been to school?"
“I took literacy classes.”
"Are you serious about taking the factory's recruitment exam?"
It may be difficult to take the entrance exam if you have only attended literacy classes.
Jiang Haitang nodded solemnly: "I want to try."
"Many of the candidates who took the exam this time only have a high school diploma, and at least a junior high school diploma."
Jiang Haitang understood what Lu Liangchen meant and said with a smile, "I was a child bride and indeed didn't have a formal education. However, I have always studied with the educated youth in the brigade. Even if I failed the exam, I could still find my shortcomings and keep working hard."
Hearing that she had studied with the educated youth, Lu Liangchen felt relieved.
He took out two books from the drawer and said, "Read these two books carefully. They will help you with your exams."
Lu Liangchen was so thoughtful to prepare a book for her. Jiang Haitang felt relieved, but at the same time, she was worried that she would not be able to repay the favor because it was too great.
"Director Lu, thank you. I will definitely study hard and strive to get good grades."
After taking the book, Jiang Haitang expressed his firm stance.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. But don't keep saying thank you, it's too polite."
"oh!"
"You probably have a lot of things to do this afternoon, so hurry back. Oh, I'll pack some candy for you to take home."
Lu Liangchen took out a bag of rock sugar from the tea cabinet and handed it to Jiang Haitang.
"Director Lu, this is not possible." Jiang Haitang quickly declined.
The two of them pushed each other and their hands touched.
Jiang Haitang immediately stepped back, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She looked at Lu Liangchen cautiously.
Will Director Lu think she did it on purpose?
Jiang Haitang was so flustered that her face turned red enough to make pancakes.
Lu Liangchen gently touched the place where he had just touched Jiang Haitang, and his heart beat faster.
He looked at the rock sugar in Jiang Haitang's hand with satisfaction.
"This is for you. Feel free to take it. I'll need your help in a few days."
Hearing that someone needed her help, Jiang Haitang quickly agreed.
"Director Lu, please let me know if you have any questions. I will definitely not refuse any help I can offer."
Just as she was about to say goodbye, Jiang Haitang thought of the ticket and money again.
"Director Lu, please take back these banknotes."
In order to avoid another embarrassing situation, Jiang Haitang did not plan to hand the money to Lu Liangchen, but wanted to put it directly on the table.
"This is Li Shengli's compensation to you, keep it. It's mine, Li Shengli gave it to me!"
