Two days later, Secretary Wang entered the office with a bag of documents to process, looking as if she were constipated.
Secretary Liao looked up at him, raising an eyebrow: "Oh, what's wrong? It's rare to see you with this expression."
Secretary Wang neatly placed the file folder aside, then poured water for Secretary Liao before speaking, "You, you don't know Comrade Xiao Fan, she..."
Secretary Liao listened with great interest as he heard Fan Xiaofan mentioned him, waiting for him to continue.
Secretary Wang still felt a little unsteady on her feet and stammered, "She...she wants to study the refrigerator."
"Then let her study it..."
Secretary Liao naturally went along with it, but when he realized what Secretary Wang was talking about, he stood up in surprise and asked, "Refrigerator?"
Ouch! I accidentally bumped into the corner of the table.
Secretary Wang said worriedly, "The machines in the Agricultural Machinery Department before, even the multi-speed bicycles, were basically evolutions of models. But refrigerators, how can they be so easy to research? All the refrigerators in our country now come from S country and R country. Young lady, you should be more down-to-earth..."
"I have to criticize you for this. If everyone were like you, afraid to think of anything, our Guojia would probably still be as backward as before. It is precisely because of talented people like Comrade Xiaofan that we can give full play to their creativity and realize the goal of science and technology driving production."
Secretary Liao snapped out of his reverie and became quite interested in Fan Xiaofan's new research project.
He vaguely remembered refrigerators; he had seen them in the homes of some overseas Chinese friends who had returned from abroad. They were expensive, small, and looked bulky, and couldn't hold much, but to be honest, they were very practical.
Especially in hot weather, food spoils in less than a day. In their canteen, some dishes are meant to be cherished, but they rot and cause a lot of waste.
His own wife complained to him this morning: "The food I brought home last night tastes a bit sour this morning."
If we had a refrigerator, all these problems could be solved.
This relates to people's livelihood; every household needs to eat, so there is a need to preserve food.
On the other hand, R country and S country possess this monopolistic technology and sell it at exorbitant prices. If they could actually research and develop it...
He became more and more agitated as he thought about it, and said to Secretary Wang, "Since you know about this, it must be Xiao Fan who contacted you, right? Tell me, what does she want to do?"
His eyes lit up, and he seemed to have complete confidence that Fan Xiaofan could definitely figure out how to make a refrigerator.
Secretary Wang cannot reply yet.
He pondered for a moment and then made another request: "Have her research the kind that can hold a lot of things. It would be so much better if canteens in various places had this. It would save them from only being able to eat fresh meat a few times a year, and the rest of the meat would just be pickled and taste like salt."
Secretary Wang twitched the corner of his mouth.
"good."
As a secretary, he will absolutely fulfill his responsibilities and take notes of your requests.
He then brought up Fan Xiaofan's situation: "She wants to go and take a look at the place that studies refrigerators, but as you know, outsiders are not allowed to enter that place, so I'll have to trouble you to contact someone and get her a letter of introduction."
Secretary Liao nodded. To be honest, this matter was not easy to handle. Moreover, the institution responsible for researching refrigerators was in Beidu, where he didn't know many people, and it would be troublesome to pull some strings.
Another point is that it's best to conceal Fan Xiaofan's identity to some extent, and also to issue a letter of introduction for her to return to the city after visiting relatives.
