Chapter 64 It’s decided
Jiang Haitang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Director Lu, I didn't mean that. I'm just worried, just worried..."
"Don't you dislike me?" Lu Liangchen asked.
Jiang Haitang immediately shook her head, fearing that any hesitation would be misunderstood by Lu Liangchen.
"Then it's settled. Let's warm up the house together. Who do you want to invite? Director Liu's family? What's the name of that girl who said bad things about me behind my back? And Zhang Shangwen, anyone else?"
Jiang Haitang: ...
When did she agree to housewarming for both families?
In the end, the two of them agreed to hold the housewarming party next Sunday night, as they had plenty of time on the weekend.
After winding five pounds of wool, Jiang Haitang looked at the watch and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
She stood up, brushed off the few strands of wool on her body, and said, "I'll wash Little Peach first."
"It's been a busy day. Go back and have some rest. I'll take care of Xiao Taozi tonight."
Little Peach said happily: "Will Daddy tell me a story?"
"Of course."
Watching the good interaction between the father and daughter, Jiang Haitang thought that perhaps, in the near future, Xiao Taozi's heartache would heal and she would be able to make a perfect exit.

Early the next morning, Jiang Haitang went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
When Zhang Shangwen saw her, he was extremely happy.
"Haitang, you're here? We have big meat buns and soy milk today."
Jiang Haitang smiled and thanked him, then said, "Uncle Zhang, I've moved out of the dormitory and am now living in the bungalow. I'm going to warm up the house this weekend. If you have time, please bring Auntie over."
"I'll definitely come. Your aunt and I will come together. Is there anything else you need at home?"
"We have everything we need. Just come over."
"Haitang, who else did you invite?"
"Just you, Director Liu's family, and Kang Xiaoxia."
"Get to know your new colleague for a few days and see how he or she gets along. If he or she is easy to get along with, remember to invite him or her on Friday," Zhang Shangwen reminded.
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Zhang."
Jiang Haitang nodded. He thought so too, but the specific situation would depend on how they got along after work.
"Haitang, when the time comes, I will send you bowls, plates and chopsticks in advance, so you don't have to borrow them from every house." Zhang Shangwen said again.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I'll come get it when the time comes."
"That's fine. Come pick it up on Saturday when you're free."
"Oh, Uncle Zhang, I have to go to work. It's my first time today, and I can't be late."
The two exchanged a few words. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Haitang hurriedly ate the remaining half of the bun in her hand, drank the soy milk, said goodbye and ran away.
Zhang Shangwen returned to the kitchen with a smile on his face and a song in his mouth, feeling indescribably comfortable.
"Uncle Zhang, why are you so happy today? Is there something happy happening at home?"
"Haitang came over and invited me to visit her new house this week."
After saying that, Zhang Shangwen glanced at the young people in the kitchen again and said, "You also need to study hard and learn knowledge from Haitang. In the future, you will become cadres and live in single rooms."
Several people in the kitchen: They do want to, but being a cadre is not that easy.
"Uncle Zhang, we can't do that. I heard that Engineer Jiang gets paid an eighteenth-level salary when he goes to work."
Someone murmured something.
"What's wrong? Someone's talking nonsense?"
Zhang Shangwen was a smart man. He understood the meaning of his young disciple's words.
"People are saying things outside right now that it's not very nice." The young apprentice nodded. "They say Engineer Jiang must have taken some shady paths. Otherwise, how could he have directly received the 18th grade salary? That's the salary of an expert."
"If you hear this again, give him a slap. It's not easy for our cafeteria to produce such a person. We can't let anyone slander us."
"Uncle Zhang, I also think something is wrong."
"Abnormal, what's wrong? Haitang's test paper is still posted outside. When the factory hired a few young men from the Textile University and gave them a 19th-level salary, how come no one complained? Isn't this bullying the people in our cafeteria?"
"Isn't he a college student? He deserves a higher salary." The young apprentice muttered.
Zhang Shangwen was furious. No, I have to talk to the factory manager about this.
How can we produce when it is so smoky and foul all day long?

On the first day of work, Jiang Haitang began to familiarize himself with the R&D department. In addition to getting familiar with the people, he also got familiar with the equipment.
At that time, research equipment was scarce and backward, and most research work had to be done manually.
Jiang Haitang has no shortage of theoretical knowledge, and she also clearly knows the future development direction of the textile industry. From natural fibers to synthetic fibers to recycled fibers, each stage is an opportunity for the textile industry, but also a huge challenge for the textile industry.
If we look at the long term, we should start researching chemical fiber fabrics.
But she was new there and had received a high salary, so there were a lot of rumors in the factory. She had to first identify a small problem and overcome it as quickly as possible before she could gain a foothold in the factory.
She has learned in the past few days that woolen cloth is expensive, so the craftsmanship requirements are also relatively high.
The textile factory can produce woolen cloth, but the woolen cloth produced feels much worse than that produced by the Shanghai textile factory, so it is not popular.
Jiang Haitang believes that this problem is not caused by the textile process itself, but by the shrinking process.
The woolen cloth currently produced by the textile factory is mainly wool.
Due to the different distribution of scales from the root to the tip of the wool, after melting and swelling under the action of external force, the root part of the wool becomes tighter, while the tip of the wool will extend out of the surface of the fabric, forming a layer of short and dense fluff on the surface, making the fabric structure tighter, the product appearance fuller, and the hand feel smooth, glutinous and elastic.
The effect of shrinkage will directly affect the feel and appearance of woolen fabrics.
However, the shrinkage effect of each batch of textiles will be greatly different due to the different down content, humidity, temperature and other factors.
Jiang Haitang decided to conduct a small-scale reduction experiment first, sort out the reduction of different wool contents at various temperatures, find the best time and temperature, and also observe which existing shrinkage agent is better.
The process sounds complicated, but Jiang Haitang is confident that he can produce complete comparison data within a week.
Jiang Haitang started working busily, and several young people in the R&D department were also working at full speed.
As for the two old comrades, they go to and from get off work on time every day, drink tea and read newspapers when they come to work, and they don’t care much about anything around them.
Everything was normal. The only thing that Jiang Haitang felt was abnormal was Zhou Zhiyuan.
Every time the head of the R&D department looked at Jiang Haitang, the look in her eyes made Jiang Haitang feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes, she even felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
But every time their eyes met, Zhou Zhiyuan's look was very easy-going. Jiang Haitang once suspected that she might have been having an illusion.
After five days of various experiments and comparisons, Jiang Haitang finally compiled a detailed data.
She handed the data to Zhou Zhiyuan.
Zhou Zhiyuan held the data and stared at Jiang Haitang for a long time. He underestimated this country woman. She provided such detailed data in just one week.
Jiang Haitang could see that Zhou Zhiyuan was not very interested in the data he provided.
Sure enough, Jiang Haitang heard Zhou Zhiyuan's answer.
"I understand. I will submit this data."
"Comrade Jiang Haitang, what you should do is develop new fabrics that are more suitable for current needs."
