Chapter 324 Preparing to Go Home
They walked onto the streets of Flower City, and Jiang Haitang could keenly feel the difference between Flower City and the north.
The streets are more colorful, and words like "market" and "efficiency" begin to appear in people's conversations. An irrepressible vitality is surging.
Although the overall policy environment is the same, the atmosphere here seems to be more lively. Occasionally, you can hear the hawkers' cries outside the factory walls, and workers talk more about bonuses and efficiency than in the north.
This subtle difference gave her a more real sense of the coming changes in the times.
Jiang Haitang knew that in the near future, a new era of change would be ushered in. Huacheng could be at the forefront of the times, and this could actually be seen from now on.
Although she thought that seizing the opportunity might allow her to make a fortune in the future, Jiang Haitang just thought about it.
She felt that she was not good at doing business, so it would be better for her to focus on her career.
Although you won't become rich, you can live a peaceful and smooth life.
One should not be greedy for more.
Elder Chen looked at Jiang Haitang, who seemed to be lost in thought, and asked curiously, "Haitang, what are you thinking about?"
"Mr. Chen, I just feel that Huacheng is different from us. The people here seem to be more open-minded."
Old Chen nodded. He also discovered that some things in Huacheng were indeed more open than in other places, but he didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
Looking at the busy dock in the distance, Mr. Chen said earnestly, "Perhaps this is what the future will look like. If our country wants to develop, we can't rely solely on imports. Ultimately, we have to digest, absorb, and innovate on our own! You understand technology and are fluent in foreign languages. You'll be very useful in the future!"
Jiang Haitang looked at everything in front of him that was full of hope and nodded solemnly: "Mr. Chen, I understand. I will work hard."
Next, there was a new round of busyness. We had to communicate and discuss while also paying attention to the debugging of the production line. The high-intensity work made several people lose weight.
In addition to being busy, Jiang Haitang also began to organize the technical gains from this trip.
In particular, she recorded in detail those empirical parameters that were not marked on the drawings but were explored during debugging, and prepared to take them back to Beijing as an important basis for future digestion, absorption and domestic improvement.
After sorting out this knowledge, Jiang Haitang not only gained an in-depth understanding of the technical details of advanced foreign chemical fiber equipment, but also, through this exchange, perfectly combined his foreign language advantage with technical knowledge, mastered a lot of new things, and opened up many new ideas.
The technical briefing and preliminary analysis report she wrote were clear in ideas and unique in insights, which impressed Mr. Chen and other members of the team.
How could they know that Jiang Haitang not only worked hard when he was awake, but also never relaxed for a moment even when he was asleep.
Because Jiang Haitang has absorbed new knowledge, he will enter the night dream space and absorb more new knowledge through the study in the night dream space.
This made Jiang Haitang grow even faster.
Li Xinghai and others looked at Jiang Haitang's rapid progress and felt that they were simply powerless to catch up with Jiang Haitang.
They were trying very hard, but they still couldn't catch up with Jiang Haitang's speed.
Some people have to believe that some abilities may be innate.
At night, the guesthouse became quiet. Little Chengzi slept soundly, occasionally smacking his lips.
Xiao He also made even breathing sounds.
Only Jiang Haitang was still translating the novel manuscript given by her aunt under the desk lamp.
This novel is almost completely translated. Translating novels in her spare time is a way for her to relax her brain.
It can help her relax her nervousness briefly and have a better effect on her study in the dream space at night.
Outside the window, the southern night is full of vitality.
Jiang Haitang stopped writing, listened to the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects in the distance, and looked at her son's peaceful sleeping face. Although she was physically exhausted, her heart was filled with a great sense of accomplishment and peaceful joy.
This trip south, she proved her worth, won the respect of others, solved practical technical problems, and opened up a broader path for her future career.
Although we did experience some difficulties, looking at the current situation, all the efforts and persistence are worth it.
The technical exchange and discussion work of Huacheng Chemical Fiber Plant is nearing completion.
Thanks to Jiang Haitang's key discoveries and precise communication, the main technical difficulties have been resolved, the production line commissioning is progressing smoothly, and it is expected to enter the stable trial operation stage soon.
This is five days earlier than originally planned.
Since the exchange work was about to end, Mr. Chen decided to return to Beijing early so that everyone could go back and have a good rest.
After all, the work intensity during this period is indeed very high, especially the work intensity of Comrade Jiang Haitang, which is unimaginably high. He needs to relax in time to better prepare for work.
In order to express gratitude, the factory specially arranged a more formal farewell banquet.
The meeting was held in the largest private room of the factory cafeteria. Not only were Director Wan, Deputy Director Lin and other factory leaders present, but Mr. Hoffman, an expert from Country D, and his assistant were also invited to attend.
The banquet dishes were much more sumptuous than when we first arrived. In addition to authentic Cantonese cuisine, they also specially prepared northern-style dumplings and some Beijing dim sum. It was obvious that they had made careful arrangements.
Director Wan first stood up to deliver a speech, highly praising the outstanding contributions of the expert team, especially Mr. Chen and Jiang Haitang, and thanking them for solving a major problem for the chemical fiber factory.
When it was Elder Chen's turn to speak, he smiled and pushed Jiang Haitang to the front: "Director Wan, comrades, if we were to say who made the greatest contribution this time, it would have to be Comrade Haitang!"
Factory Director Lin immediately agreed with Mr. Chen's words: "Engineer Jiang is not only an excellent speaker of foreign languages, but also has a keen eye for technology and is incredibly meticulous! If it weren't for her, those valuable rollers in our factory would probably be scrapped in no time!"
Receiving everyone's praise, Jiang Haitang stood up gracefully and said humbly, "Mr. Chen, you're too kind. Directors Wan and Lin are too flattering. This is the result of the joint efforts of our entire team. Engineers Li, Zhang, and Yun's experience in machinery and technology has given me a lot of inspiration, and the factory's technical staff has also cooperated very well. It's my honor to be able to solve some practical problems for everyone."
Her words not only affirmed her own efforts, but also took into account everyone in the team. Li Xinghai and others felt relieved and nodded secretly after hearing this.
Mr. Hoffman also expressed his admiration for Jiang Haitang through the translator, particularly mentioning her professional foreign language skills and solid technical foundation, and considered her a "very good engineer."
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively.
Li Xinghai took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and walked over to Jiang Haitang. His expression was a little awkward but sincere. "Mr. Jiang, this glass of wine is for you. To be honest, at the beginning... I, Old Li, was a bit pedantic and said some unseemly things. Don't take it to heart. I admire your ability! If you have any questions about work in the future, just let me know!"
This was the first time that Li Xinghai formally apologized and expressed his initial attitude.
Although Jiang Haitang was surprised that Li Xinghai would say such things in such an occasion, she quickly picked up her soda and said, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. We should all learn and improve together. I hope you will give us more guidance in the future. Besides, you've also been very concerned about Xiao Chengzi, so I should thank you."
Li Xinghai knew that Jiang Haitang had found out what he had told Xiao Zhao, and he smiled embarrassedly.
Zhang Jianguo and Yun Zhihao also came over to toast, their words full of admiration for Jiang Haitang.
Secretary Xiao Zhao excitedly took out the developed photos and distributed them to everyone. It was the photo of Mr. Chen holding Xiao Chengzi on the train and everyone gathered together to discuss it.
Everyone in the photo is very focused, and little Orange looks particularly cute with his big eyes.
"This photo is so meaningful!" Factory Director Wan couldn't put it down. "It truly reflects the hard work and compassion of our technical workers!"
After the banquet, Jiang Haitang and Xiao He returned to the guesthouse and began to pack their luggage.
Little Chengzi seemed to sense that he was going home and was extremely excited. He sang a song that no one could understand on the bed sheet spread out by Xiao He.
Elder Chen strolled over with his hands behind his back, watching the scene. He said to Jiang Haitang, "Haitang, after you go back and rest for a few days, the department's project will officially launch. Everyone has seen your abilities, and I want you to take on more responsibilities, not just translation, but also technical demonstration and program design. You'll also have to shoulder more responsibilities. Do you have the confidence?"
Jiang Haitang's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she expected: "Mr. Chen, I have confidence! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"
"Great! I just like the drive of young people!" Old Chen nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, Old Zhou called a few days ago and asked about you. He was very satisfied with your performance this time. I hope there will be good news when you return."
"Mr. Chen, since I need to rest for a few days, I want to take a detour to the northwest. I still have some work to finish at the textile factory and the machinery factory."
Mr. Chen didn't object. He nodded and said, "When I ask someone to buy the tickets, I'll buy you a connecting ticket. We'll go together for the first part, and then you can transfer to another bus and go to the northwest by yourself. Is that okay?"
Jiang Haitang was also used to traveling on the railway and was not worried about anything. After thanking Mr. Chen, he agreed immediately.
The next day, several people bought some things in Huacheng, planning to take them home as gifts for relatives and friends. Jiang Haitang and Xiao He also bought some.
However, Xiao He only bought a little, saying that he had no relatives at home, only two good sisters, so he didn't need to buy much.
Jiang Haitang bought a lot. In addition to some for her family in Beijing, she also bought some to take back to Jincheng.
She estimated that after this time, she would have fewer opportunities to come to Jincheng, so the gifts she bought would be relatively expensive.
After Jiang Haitang found that he had bought a lot of things, he planned to mail them back. Li Xinghai and others said that they were going back to Beijing and would take the things back with them on the way. When Jiang Haitang returned to Beijing, he could contact them and they would send them over.
Xiao Zhao also stated very solemnly that he would definitely bring them all back without missing a single one.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Jiang Haitang could only ask them to bring back the gifts for their family in Beijing.
The next day, the factory sent a car to take them to the train station.
